"Damn it! The Mutou is burning with life force, we need to speed things up!"
High in the sky, a tall man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes sped forward at lightning speed.
But behind him followed thousands of eerie, illusory warriors.
These warriors, clad in ancient armor, stood tall and had resolute faces, clearly soldiers who had undergone countless trials.
And the mounts beneath their feet were actually skeletons hundreds of feet long. From their outlines, it was vaguely discernible that they were the skeletons of a giant dragon.
puff...!
The giant bone dragon pierced through the clouds and descended, soon coming to see a mountain forest filled with ruins.
A figure shrouded in blood-red energy clashed repeatedly with a man in golden robes, the aftershocks toppling giant trees and mountains around them, as if they were destroying the world.
"Hmph! It's Heavenly Emperor Haoyu again. I'll kill that old scoundrel sooner or later."
Seeing Chen Mu's frenzied state, Chen Haoran was very worried. He immediately drew his long sword and commanded the army to charge.
" Undying Legion, Shattered Star Radiance!"
At his command, the soldiers of the entire Undying Legion simultaneously swung their swords, and a dazzling starlight appeared in front of the ranks, descending from the sky and crashing down upon the Heavenly Emperor below.
What is that?
The Heavenly Emperor had already noticed the Undying Legion when it first appeared, but he had never seen this legion before and had no idea of its strength.
He only sensed the deadly threat when terrifying starlight descended from the sky, but by then, it was too late to escape.
Boom!
After being struck by the starlight, the Heavenly Emperor managed to escape, but his clothes were torn and he looked rather disheveled.
"So that's how it is. They are the Battle Soul Army guarding Jianmu Hill."
Now that things had come to this, the Heavenly Emperor knew that all was lost. With a flash, he appeared above the sacrificial altar.
"This place is not safe to stay any longer, let's go!"
The Heavenly Emperor grabbed Ye Beihen's shoulder, and then a huge black hole opened up, pulling Ye Beihen out of it.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
At this moment, the Shaman God Peng Xi, the Myriad Peng Demon Lord, and the King of Motan all became anxious.
As Innate Gods of Kunlun Heaven, their true forms cannot leave the Kunlun Heaven Realm unless they ascend to the True God Realm.
However, the Heavenly Emperor completely ignored them, and as soon as he rushed out of the black hole, the black hole quickly closed.
"Huh? How can it be so weak?"
After Chen Haoran's initial attack, he was still preparing several more deadly moves, but the Heavenly Emperor suddenly fled, which greatly surprised him.
Although he had never directly fought the Heavenly Emperor, he was well aware of the terror of the Peak True God Realm expert. Even if this was just an avatar of his, it shouldn't only have this much strength.
"Hmph! You're lucky you left quickly, otherwise losing an avatar would have been painful enough for you."
The death of an avatar will not kill the original body, but it will still cause damage to the original body. Even if the Heavenly Emperor has profound cultivation, it will take a long time to re-condense an avatar.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! I'm going to kill you!"
Although the Heavenly Emperor had escaped, Chen Mu had not recovered. His eyes were bloodshot, and he kept looking around for the Heavenly Emperor's figure.
" Mutou, what's wrong?"
Chen Haoran leaped up from the bone dragon and landed in front of Chen Mu, a look of worry on his face.
But Chen Mu acted as if he didn't recognize Chen Haoran at all, his eyes fierce, and he directly attacked Chen Haoran.
Whoosh! Crack! Crack! Crack!
" Mutou, what's wrong with you? Answer me!"
Chen Mu's attacks were fierce and ruthless, putting immense pressure on even Chen Haoran.
Chen Haoran was even more worried that Chen Mu was still burning his bloodline. If this continued, even without enemies, he would die from exhaustion of his bloodline.
Just when Chen Haoran was extremely anxious and at his wit's end, Gu Ningbi arrived.
" Chen Mu, calm down! There might still be hope for Mingye."
Just as Gu Ningbi finished speaking, a sliver of clarity finally returned to Chen Mu Mu's bloodshot eyes.
" Mingye..."
He stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Gu Ningbi, and the bloodshot in his eyes quickly faded.
"You mean to say that Mingye can be resurrected?"
His eyes were hopeful, and his voice trembled slightly.
Gu Ningbi sighed inwardly. This was the first time he had seen Chen Mu like this; he was completely different from the Chen Mu who only knew how to calculate rationally in the past.
"Although I can't guarantee it, I just sensed it, and it's clear that a wisp of Mingye's True Spirit is still preserved within this Netherworld Pearl."
"If we can bring this wisp of True Spirit back to the Nine Nether Netherworld, perhaps we will find a way to save her."
Chen Mu was also a cultivator, and a talisman master skilled in Dao of Talismans arts. Gu Ningbi knew very well that it would be useless to try to deceive him with some vague and ethereal theories, so she could only tell him the truth.
As Gu Ningbi spoke, she took out the Netherworld Pearl and the small porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed them to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu finally calmed down. He felt much more at ease when he sensed the familiar soul aura within the Netherworld Pearl.
"Then there's no time to lose; I'll set off for the Netherworld now."
As far as Chen Mu knew, there was indeed hope of resurrection if the True Spirit still existed, although it would require a huge price to pay, but to Chen Mu, those were insignificant.
Only then did he turn his gaze to his father, Chen Haoran, his expression complex.
"Father, your son is unfilial and has caused you worry."
However, the situation is urgent, and I need to go to the Nine Nether Netherworld immediately. I hope my father will understand.
After overhearing their conversation, Chen Haoran had a general idea of what had happened.
Although he really wanted to find out who this person named Mingye was, seeing Chen Mu's anxious look, he had no choice but to tactfully ask later.
"Alright then! How do you plan to leave? If there are no external deities to guide you, I can help you..."
He was halfway through his sentence when his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Not good..."
He didn't even have time to explain to Chen Mu before leaping onto the bone dragon in mid-air.
"Quick! Go back to the sacred tree!"
The bone dragon instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the deepest part of the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range.
"Let's go! Let's follow them and see."
Chen Mu and Gu Ningbi exchanged a glance and then spoke.
Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, judging from Chen Haoran's reaction, it couldn't be anything good. They decided to follow him; perhaps they could be of some help.
Whoosh...!
Neither of them had truly entered the Divine Realm, and they could not fly freely in the Kunlun Heaven. They could only follow the aura left by Chen Haoran, gliding and running at the same time, trying their best to catch up.
Chen Mu became very weak after burning his essence and blood. He only managed to recover some strength after taking several pills.
