"Heh, I didn't expect there to be a Mid Saint Level among you."
Chen Mu then realized that Wei Xiaofan, who had been keeping a low profile, actually possessed the cultivation Mid Saint Level. With him leading the Three Talents Array to surround and kill the enemy, even a typical Mid Saint Level might not be able to escape.
Haha, there's a lot you don't know!
Wang Xian'an laughed wildly, cooperating with Wei Xiaofan to activate the magic seal and relentlessly attack Chen Mu.
"Hehe, do you know what I'm hiding?"
Chen Mu suddenly stepped into the air, and a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern appeared beneath his feet.
The Eight Trigrams Dunjia Array! Activate.
Centered on Chen Mu, spatial vortexes opened simultaneously in ten directions, sending out one Five Elements War Soldiers after another.
These Five Elements War Soldiers formed a massive array, enveloping the three Sage of the Heavenly Puppet Sect and preventing them from escaping.
Jia is the first of the ten Heavenly Stems, and the so-called Dun Jia is actually a substitute name for the Heavenly Stems.
Since Chen Mu comprehended the Yin attribute of the Five Elements Profound Mystery of Chaos in the Netherworld, the Five Elements War Soldiers can now be called Heavenly Stems War Soldiers. The Eight Trigrams Dunjia Array composed of them has the power to penetrate heaven and earth. Unless one's strength far exceeds that of Chen Mu, it is difficult to escape from this formation.
"Hmph! Let's see if we kill you first, or if you trap us to death."
The Heavenly Puppet Sect is a sect that cultivates runes. Even though some of them did not reach the Saint Level through the Dao of Talismans, they still have a deep understanding of runes.
Wang Xian'an immediately recognized how troublesome Chen Mu's formation was, but he remained unfazed, refusing to believe that the three of them could outlast Chen Mu alone.
"Haha! You can come and try it."
Chen Mu's fighting style suddenly changed; he no longer Dharma Power to defend, but instead used all his power to attack.
Swish... da da!
At this moment, the three members of the Heavenly Puppet Sect realized that most of their attacks could not even penetrate Chen Mu's physical skin.
Back when Chen Mu hadn't yet broken through to the Saint Level, he was able to withstand Chu Xuanzi's attacks with just his physical body. After breaking through to the Saint Level, Chen Mu's Runic Body naturally evolved once again.
The natural resources of the Netherworld are far richer than those of the Wilderness. After absorbing a massive amount of spiritual materials, attacks from those below the Saint Level Late Stage are now unable to inflict fatal damage on Chen Mu.
Chen Mu, seemingly reckless, relentlessly pursued the three Sage. Among them, Hong Qianyong, the weakest, was the first to suffer, his true form shattered by a single punch from Chen Mu, resulting in his immediate death.
Wang Xian'an finally became afraid. As the leader of a sect, he had many good days ahead of him, so why would he want to perish like this?
" Chen Mu, don't kill me! I'll leave now, and I swear I'll never be an enemy of the Chen Kingdom again."
It's too late.
Chen Mu laughed and began to chase after the weaker Wang Xian'an, beating him so badly that he could only run around in all directions, but he could not escape the blockade of the Eight Trigrams Dunjia Array.
" Chen Mu, let me tell you, the founder of my Heavenly Puppet Sect is not dead yet."
"If you kill me today, my sect's founder will never let you off the hook."
Seeing that his pleas for mercy were ineffective, Wang Xian'an resorted to threats, but Chen Mu paid no heed and remained cold and ruthless. It took him almost half an hour to finally beat Wang Xian'an to a pulp.
"Hehe, now you're the only one left."
Chen Mu locked his aura onto Wei Xiaofan, his eyes filled with naked killing intent.
However, Wei Xiaofan's expression remained calm. He looked at Chen Mu and said, "Come on! The winner takes all. This is an ironclad rule in the cultivation world, and it's the ending I expected."
In this final battle, Wei Xiaofan reflected on his life, from an unknown nobody to the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. He had given up so much, and now it seemed there was nothing left for him to regret.
He once roamed the martial world in fine clothes and on horseback, and he also committed murder and robbery, committing countless evil deeds. Everything he did was for himself, but after countless years, he has begun to feel weary.
When Wei Xiaofan's heart was pierced by Chen Mu's finger, his inner world expanded and contracted at an astonishing speed, collapsing completely in just a few dozen breaths.
"He actually Dao Dissolution..."
Chen Mu glanced at them with slight surprise, and only after confirming that there were no other problems did he turn and leave.
The so-called " Dao Dissolution " is a relatively common phenomenon among cultivators at the Emperor Level and above.
The years of cultivation are long and arduous. To live indefinitely, one must continuously cultivate and increase one's cultivation level. However, the longer one lives, the more likely those cultivators with weak minds are to develop self-doubt, ultimately leading to self-destruction and their souls returning to the world.
Although Wei Xiaofan's Dao Dissolution was somewhat different from the ordinary Dao Dissolution, it was still due to the collapse of his Dao Heart, the spontaneous collapse of his inner world, and his death and dissipation of his soul.
Based on his mental state, Chen Mu felt that even if he hadn't encountered him this time, and assuming no other unforeseen events occurred, he would Dao Dissolution- destructed within a few decades.
At this time, Chen Hongjie had also arrived in the Chen Kingdom.
Seeing that Chen Mu had completely gained the upper hand in the battle, he did not come to help Chen Mu anymore. Instead, he lowered the warship's altitude, killed the disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, and rescued the garrison left behind by the Chen Kingdom.
The Heavenly Soldiers Ding Regiment was not weak, but their numbers were too small this time. After a period of fierce fighting, they were almost completely wiped out.
At the last moment, the heavenly soldier leader Wei Yuchen summoned a golden light from the sky, which took him and the remaining hundreds of heavenly soldiers away.
Chen Mu could tell that there was a divine aura within that golden light, so he did not act rashly and allowed the hundreds of heavenly soldiers to leave.
As soon as Chen Mu summoned his Dharma Aspect True Body, the Chen Kingdom warriors in the city began to fight back. After Chen Hongjie returned, their morale soared, and they drove the Heavenly Puppet Sect disciples into a series of defeats.
The deaths of the three Sage terrified the disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. They fled in a frenzy, but thanks to Chen Hongjie's efficient organization, less than 10% of the Heavenly Puppet Sect escaped; almost all of them perished here.
Without the aid of computing power, Chen Mu's process of erasing the inner worlds became extremely slow. It took Chen Mu more than two hours to completely obliterate the inner worlds of Hong Qianyong and Wang Xian'an, eliminating any possibility of their rebirth.
"We won! We've won! Haha..."
Below, countless Chen Kingdom soldiers wept with joy, huddled together in twos and threes, their eyes filled with the happiness of surviving a calamity.
Chen Hongjie then issued orders one by one, tallied battle damage, and rebuilt defensive equipment, among other things.
"Haha, luckily I didn't listen to your suggestion of self-destruction before I left, otherwise the losses would have been huge."
Back at the palace, Chen Duo couldn't help but burst into laughter, mocking Taichu.
"Hmph! This is an unexpected situation. In my data model, the probability is less than one in ten thousand. You were just lucky."
Taichu retorted, unconvinced.
