At this moment, inside the Blood God Lure Formation.
On a vast sea of blood, Chen Mu was being hunted down by Ren Changsheng. This sea of blood seemed boundless, and no matter how Chen Mu tried to escape, he couldn't get out.
Haha... Chen Mu, you're out of options this time!
This place is isolated from the Heavenly Dao the Netherworld; with your current cultivation level, you are no match for me.
Ren Changsheng manipulated the boundless black energy, which complemented the blood-red ocean here, and his strength actually increased once again. Chen Mu was beaten so badly that he could only flee in all directions.
"This must be a temporary little world built with blood. To construct a little world with the blood of living beings, how many lives would have to be slaughtered?"
As Chen Mu fled, he analyzed his surroundings, but apart from anger, he couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.
"Sigh, I was too careless. I shouldn't have agreed to Dugu He's bet."
Normally, Chen Mu Muguang's 108 Dharma Aspect True Body and Five Elements War Soldiers are more than enough to handle any situation.
This was his first time fighting in his true form, and he hadn't expected to fall into an ambush. Compared to those cunning old foxes, he realized that he still had some shortcomings.
Whoosh! Hiss!
Ren Changsheng swung his ghostly claws, tearing a huge wound in Chen Mu's shoulder. However, the flesh at the wound quickly began to writhe and repair it.
Chen Mu secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had absorbed a large amount of Nether Spring in the Holy Temple, which had raised the toughness of his physical body to another level. Otherwise, he would have been in danger this time.
"Since I'm trapped inside, it's impossible to break through here. I can only stall for time and see if I can hold out until someone comes to rescue me, or until the energy maintaining this blood realm runs out."
Chen Mu's Biological Intelligent Brain analyzed for a long time, but ultimately only came to this conclusion.
But at that moment, he vaguely sensed residual energy emanating from the outside world.
"It's the energy of the Five Elements Ring! Shi Xing and the others are outside."
He was overjoyed. If someone was working from the outside, breaking through this place shouldn't be too difficult.
"Heh heh, do you think I'd let outsiders destroy the Blood God Realm?"
Wu Qianqiu has been waiting outside for a while now; you can just wait to collect their corpses.
Ren Changsheng wanted to undermine Chen Mu's confidence, so he deliberately revealed the situation outside.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu frowned. Ren Changsheng seized the opportunity, appearing behind him in a flash, his sharp claws aimed straight for his heart.
Pfft! Slap! Thud!
Chen Mu turned around, narrowly avoiding the grab, then exchanged several blows with Ren Changsheng before flying backward.
"No way! If that's the case, Shi Xing is so stubborn, he'll definitely fight Wu Qianqiu to the death."
He knew Shi Xing too well. He was usually quite composed in his actions, but he always saw himself as a wise ruler destined for the revival of the Human Clan. Now that his own safety was at stake, would he still act rationally?
"Boss Shi, the energy consumption of the Five Elements Saint-Sealing Formation is too fast; we can't hold on much longer."
Outside, the captains of the Yin Five Elements Legion discovered that the energy reserves inside their armor were running low and quickly reported this to Shi Xing.
"Okay! I understand."
In the center of the Five Elements Saint-Sealing Formation, Shi Xing glanced at his comrades around him and said in a deep voice.
"Our lord has been incredibly kind to us; now it is our turn to repay him."
Everyone! Burn your life essence, scorch the heavens and boil the seas, unleash the Bing Fire Saint-Slaying Formation!
The Yin Five Elements Legion has always been the most low-profile legion under Chen Mu's command. This is not only because Shi Xing is calm and doesn't like to show off, but also because they are a Human Clan legion.
Human Clan has long been weak and frail, and survival has always been a struggle. Since following Chen Mu, their relatives and friends have never gone hungry again, so how could they dare to make any other demands?
In their hearts, being able to work for Chen Mu was already a great honor, and they didn't need anyone else's praise.
At Shi Xing's command, all members of the Yin Five Elements Legion did not hesitate to burn themselves, channeling their essence and blood into the Five Elements Ring, transforming it into an extremely powerful and yang flame that burned the heavens and earth.
Flames burned the earth, turning trees within a radius of several kilometers into prime fuel, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.
Ultimately, guided by the Five Elements Ring, the burning flames transformed into an unstable, high-temperature sphere of light, hovering above the Shi Xing.
"As adults have said, under high temperature and high pressure conditions, the internal structure of a substance is extremely unstable."
By further integrating this rune, it can unleash a power called 'nuclear fusion,' increasing its destructive power tenfold or even a hundredfold.
Blood trickled from the corner of Shi Xing's mouth, and blood mist spewed from the pores of his body. He knew that ordinary battle formation techniques could not possibly harm Wu Qianqiu, who was at the Saint Level Late Stage, let alone destroy the Blood God Lure behind her.
Therefore, he could only use this technique, a power he had not yet fully mastered, even though he knew that using it would surely lead to his death, but he could not back down.
"I think you've all gone mad. If this ball explodes, who among you will survive?"
Wu Qianqiu said in a fit of rage.
Although she didn't know what move Shi Xing was using, she had personally experienced Chen Mu's Ultimate Devil Spirit Bullet, so she had a guess about the purpose of this ball of light and dared not make any rash moves.
"Whether we live or not is not important, what's important is that the adults don't die!"
Shi Xing's expression was neither sad nor happy. He slowly cast a rune into the light sphere, as if he were doing something utterly mundane.
Inside the Blood God Lure Great Formation, Chen Mu seemed to sense something and couldn't help but shout anxiously.
" Shi Xing, no!!"
Unfortunately, it was no use; Chen Mu's voice couldn't reach the outside world, and Shi Xing couldn't possibly give up on his choice at this point.
Whoosh~~ Chirp~~ Boom!
After the rune entered the sphere of light, the sphere contracted violently and then suddenly exploded, like an incomparably dazzling sun falling into the mountains.
Inside the Blood God Lure Great Formation, Chen Mu stared blankly at the large expanse of light screen that had been blasted open in the air, utterly bewildered.
" Shi Xing and the others are dead! They died because of me."
Since establishing his power, he has used his superb mastery of Dao of Talismans arts and terrifying technological productivity to manipulate his enemies at will.
He hadn't experienced failure in a long time, let alone the death of a close friend or family member.
This time, he once again felt the same sense of powerlessness he had felt as a child, the feeling of being able to watch the people around him leave without being able to do anything about it.
"Why? Why did I have to suppress my cultivation level? If I hadn't, perhaps Shi Xing wouldn't have died..."
Just as Chen Mu was filled with regret, a withered, sharp claw pierced through Chen Mu chest.
"Hehehe... So what if the Blood God Lure Great Formation was broken? You still couldn't escape."
Above the sea of blood, Ren Changsheng's hoarse yet hearty laughter echoed.
