Chen Mu ventured alone deep into the Tuoba army, where he was immediately surrounded by more than a dozen powerful warriors, who intended to trap him like a turtle in a jar.
"You've chosen the path to heaven but refuse to take it, you insist on barging into hell when there's no way out. Today I'll settle things with you!"
Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Tuoba Ziying immediately gained confidence and took the initiative to attack Chen Mu with his longsword.
" Acala Golden Bell Shield!"
Chen Mu slowly sat down on the ground, his expression neither sad nor happy. A golden bell-shaped phantom rose from his body, protecting him firmly within it.
Boom! Bang bang bang!
More than a dozen attacks struck the Golden Bell Shield, but the illusory Golden Bell remained completely still, as if it had existed since time immemorial.
Just then, gray mist rose from Chen Mu's head, condensing and slowly solidifying until it transformed into a small purple figure wearing a rune-embroidered robe.
Compared to when he first broke through to the Solid Realm, his Solid Realm Divine Soul is now about twice as large, and can cause fluctuations in the surrounding Spiritual Power with just a gesture.
"What is this? Divine Soul True Body?"
As the eldest son of the Tuoba Lineage, Tuoba Ziying had never seen the Divine Soul True Body Cultivator in the Solid Realm, but he had heard that Soul Cultivators who had reached the Solid Realm could summon their Divine Soul True Body to fight.
But he had never heard of anyone whose Divine Soul True Body was purple, and the aura emanating from Chen Mu's Divine Soul True Body was extremely terrifying, giving him a chilling feeling.
As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Even Tuoba Ziying had only heard of the Divine Soul True Body, while the other Tuoba soldiers around him had never heard of it. In fact, two hotheads in the Late Qi Nourishing Realm shouted and slashed at the purple figure with their knives.
"Go! Kill them all."
With a thought, Chen Mu Mu's purple figure instantly transformed into a stream of purple light, blasting the two attackers into a bloody mist.
Puff! Puff! Puff...!
The purple figure, like a sharp blade soaring through the air, pierced through the bodies of one Tuoba soldier after another.
Even though one of them was a powerful expert in the Late True Spirit Realm, the purple figure only delayed for two or three breaths before piercing his heart.
"A devil! This is a devil!"
Some of the lower-level Tuoba soldiers around them had no idea what was happening. They only saw a purple streak of light flash by, and their tribe's strongmen were blasted into blood mist one after another.
By this point, more than half of the Tuoba soldiers had been killed or wounded, and now that their middle and high-ranking troops had been slaughtered, their morale immediately plummeted.
Run!
With no leader, some soldiers began to desert.
Tuoba Ziying sensed a powerful aura locking onto him, so he dared not move rashly. He stared intently at the purple streak of light in the sky, fearing that it might attack him if he wasn't careful.
However, his caution was useless. Once the people besieging Chen Mu were all killed, the purple light immediately rushed towards him.
" Cosmic Cycle Sword Shield."
Tuoba Ziying resorted to his old trick, attempting to block the purple figure's attack.
However, it was useless. The purple divine Divine Soul at the Third Layer of the Solid Realm had an attack power that was infinitely close to that of the Core Formation Realm. It could even contend with some people who had just entered the Core Formation Realm.
With a bang, Tuoba Ziying's sword shield was shattered by a punch. The purple figure was also much faster than him. Before he could activate any other protective measures, the purple figure punched through his heart.
"I... I..."
On his deathbed, he opened his mouth wide, as if he had countless words to say and wanted to protest to the heavens.
But in the end, he couldn't say anything. He could only stare wide-eyed, then fall helplessly to the ground, his body gradually losing its vitality.
"Return!"
Chen Mu looked pained, his head was covered in cold sweat, and he was panting heavily.
Using his Divine Soul True Body in battle consumes a great deal of Soul Power Soul Power, which is closely related to his spirit. He was currently dizzy and disoriented, so he could only withdraw his Divine Soul back into his sea of consciousness.
Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen clothes slowly emerged from the nearby forest.
"Who are you?"
Chen Mu was taken aback. His Divine Soul had previously covered a radius of three or four kilometers, yet he hadn't detected this person.
"You're quite capable; you're worth my time!"
This middle-aged man was Yue Siqing, who had been hired by the Tuoba Lineage to kill Chen Mu.
"Are you from the Flame Blessing Tribe?"
In the energy field of ' Fate Vision ', Yue Siqing's Spiritual Power level was still True Spirit Realm, but the liquid Spiritual Power in his body was extremely thick, something he had never seen in anyone else before.
"No, but the Flame Blessing Tribe paid a heavy price to have me kill you."
Yue Siqing looked Chen Mu over with great interest, seemingly quite intrigued by him.
"I've never seen a talisman master as young as you with such skill before."
Honestly, I'm a little reluctant to kill you. Why don't you swear to Pan Emperor and become my slave?
You think you've already beaten me?
Chen Mu's face showed anger.
Slaves created through the Pan Emperor Oath, while not as miraculous as the Divine Soul Seed, still have some effect.
"Haha, you think I don't know you're trying to stall for time to recover?"
It's no use. Although your Divine Soul True Body was indeed very strong just now, I'm still confident I can handle it!
Yue Siqing laughed heartily, confident of success.
Although Yue Siqing looks only in her thirties or forties, she is actually nearly seventy years old. The reason she can maintain her youthful appearance is due to her profound Spiritual Power cultivation.
At his stage, ordinary external things can hardly sway his mind. Even billions of dollars will be nothing but fleeting clouds when his time comes.
For cultivators of the Divine Soul, breaking through to the Solid Realm is a major hurdle, while for martial arts cultivators, breaking through from the True Spirit Realm to the Core Formation Realm is also a major hurdle.
After breaking through from the True Spirit Realm to the Core Formation Realm, the physical body will undergo a transformation, and lifespan will naturally increase to around three hundred years.
However, for cultivators who haven't broken through to the Core Formation Realm, their lifespan is actually no different from that of ordinary people.
However, if one 'Spiritual Power is more abundant, one can keep their body at its peak and live at most ten or twenty years longer than an ordinary person, but there is no qualitative change.
Therefore, for Yue Siqing, his greatest desire right now is to break through to the Core Formation Realm; nothing else is that important.
To break through, fighting is a very effective method, especially fierce fighting, even fighting where one faces a life-or-death crisis. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to kill Chen Mu.
He even longed for Chen Mu to unleash even greater power and fight him, thus helping him take that step.
"Don't I have any other options?"
Although his thoughts had been exposed, Chen Mu wasn't embarrassed at all. Now, he had very little Spiritual Power and Soul Power left in his body, and he really wasn't confident in dealing with the person in front of him.
"Yes! Surrender to me, or die!"
Yue Siqing looked at Chen Mu with amusement, as if he were staring at prey in a hunting net.
