At this moment, Li Mu floated in the air, looking down at his opponent. His Five Elements Dao Body was fully displayed, and in his eyes, yin and yang spiritual lights flickered alternately. His Soul Transformation Cultivator was shown without reservation, his Aura was vast, and the Thunder Wings on his back stretched out. Each feather shimmered with the light of thunder, as if containing endless lightning power, and his Aura was like a rainbow.
The five transformed beast companions all released a high-grade Spirit Treasure, eyeing him covetously.
As time passed, Mo Qian grew increasingly anxious. This Immortal Cave space, just as Li Mu had said, was almost flawless. Unless he killed Li Mu, it would be truly difficult to escape this space.
"For some reason, you've been hesitant to make a move." Mo Qian glared, giving his ultimatum: "If you don't hand over the Treasure Mansion key and let me leave, then I won't let you succeed either!"
As soon as his voice fell, a strong bloody Aura instantly spread from Mo Qian’s body, accompanied by intense resentment and killing intent. He formed hand seals, releasing a huge Blood Fiend Law Domain that enveloped the entire Immortal Cave space in a crimson hue.
Under the reflection of this Blood Fiend Law Domain, Mo Qian’s figure began to become illusory, as if merging into endless fresh blood. His figure transformed into thousands of blood shadows, each filled with sharp killing intent, like bloodthirsty specters, rushing directly towards Li Mu.
Facing this sudden attack, a hint of disappointment flashed in Li Mu’s eyes. Originally, he had planned to have his wood-element Clone collect all the high-grade Spiritual Plants in the Treasure Mansion Space before eliminating Mo Qian, in order to minimize losses.
However, the opponent had seen through his plan and attacked first. Engaging in battle within the Treasure Mansion Space would result in extremely heavy losses, especially the large batch of sixth-grade Azure Green Bamboo Forest, whose losses would be immeasurable.
Nevertheless, at this moment, since the opponent had already launched an attack, Li Mu had no reason to sit idly by.
Li Mu took a deep breath, deciding to end the battle quickly to minimize losses.
"Kill!"
Li Mu roared in a deep voice, his tone filled with determination and killing intent.
The next moment, Li Mu focused his mind, first using the Great Five Elements Escape Technique, his figure instantly disappearing from his original spot, evading the opponent's attack. At the same time, he cast the Beast Control Contract - Shared Soul Divine Ability, establishing a Divine Soul connection with the five beast companions, controlling them to swiftly set up the Five Elements Grand Formation. Simultaneously, he channeled all his Five Elements True Qi into the Painting World Treasure Mansion, using the Treasure Mansion’s power to launch a full-scale suppression, restricting the opponent’s bloody Law Domain.
Li Mu channeled all his Five Elements True Qi into the Painting World Treasure Mansion, using the Treasure Mansion’s power to launch a full-scale suppression.
The power of the Eight Realms Heaven Treasure erupted completely, forming a powerful energy field that firmly restricted the opponent’s bloody Law Domain to its original spot, instantly suppressing the scale of the Blood Fiend Law Domain to one-tenth or one-fifth of its original size.
Immediately after, under the control of Li Mu’s powerful Divine Soul, the five beast companions—Azure Moon True Dragon, Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix, Blue Eyes Gold Yuan, Azure Jade Ginseng King, and Ink Jade Rock Lizard—all responded, each releasing their Lifebound Treasure.
The Azure Moon True Dragon's Lifebound Treasure was the "True Water Silk Ribbon," a ribbon condensed from pure water elements, as if it possessed life. The True Water Silk Ribbon transformed into a thousand-zhang water Dragon, surging like waves, its body shimmering with True Water spiritual light, roaring as it charged towards the Blood Fiend Law Domain with earth-shshattering momentum.
The Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix's Lifebound Treasure was the "skyfire cauldron." This ancient cauldron exuded a scorching flame Aura, spewing out balls of hot spiritual flames that condensed into the forms of fiery Phoenixes in the air, gathering into a flock and charging towards the Blood Fiend Law Domain.
The Blue Eyes Gold Yuan's Lifebound Treasure was a golden long staff. Golden light circulated around the staff, transforming into a dazzling golden beam that pierced through the air. The sound of its piercing was sharp and piercing, as if venting endless anger, like a whip of divine punishment, fiercely striking towards the location of the Blood Fiend Law Domain.
The Azure Jade Ginseng King’s Lifebound Treasure, the Wood Origin Spirit Staff, transformed into a large emerald-green hand, launching an attack from below. Countless sixth-grade Azure Green Spirit Bamboos became the myriad tentacles of the large hand formed by the Wood Spirit Staff, enveloping the Blood Fiend Law Domain.
The Ink Jade Rock Lizard's Lifebound Treasure was a "Giant Rock Green Mountain," like a majestic mountain, heavy and stable, transforming into a green beam of light that shot into the sky, crashing down on Mo Qian like Mount Tai pressing down, swift as lightning and unstoppable.
Five Lifebound Treasures of different attributes and colors, under Li Mu's control, formed a powerful force, all fiercely bombarding the Blood Fiend Law Domain.
Soon, these powerful Five Elements Spirit Treasures rapidly converged in the air, their powers intertwining, constantly merging and coexisting, instantly forming an invisible Five Elements Grand Formation that completely enveloped the Blood Fiend Law Domain, trapping it entirely within.
Once the Five Elements Grand Formation formed, a killing Aura followed. The Blood Fiend Law Domain began to shake unstably under the siege of the Five Elements Grand Formation, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Mo Qian's expression changed repeatedly as he felt the immense pressure brought by these five Five Elements Spirit Treasures.
Mo Qian's expression became solemn, realizing that he had fallen into an extremely disadvantageous situation. His signature Law Domain technique, which he relied on for his fame, was actually unable to move an inch under the suppression of this spatial Magic Treasure’s power.
Immediately after, under the shroud of the Five Elements Grand Formation, his Law Domain appeared somewhat fragile.
Mo Qian was extremely anxious, knowing that if he couldn't quickly break through the suppression of this Five Elements Grand Formation, he would face a life-or-death crisis. So he fully activated his magic power, continuing to maintain the Blood Fiend Law Domain, preparing to release a more powerful attack to break through this Five Elements Grand Formation.
Mo Qian's face grew increasingly ugly, his eyes flickering with a ruthless light. He formed hand seals, and the magic power within his body surged wildly. A powerful Aura emanated from him. A mass of blood-colored energy condensed around his body, constantly rotating, forming a blood-colored whirlwind.
The blood-colored whirlwind spun faster and faster, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar. Mo Qian fiercely pushed out the blood-colored whirlwind. That mass of blood-colored whirlwind, like a ferocious giant beast, charged towards the Five Elements Grand Formation, attempting to break through this powerful Formation.
However, the power of the Five Elements Grand Formation far exceeded Mo Qian’s expectations. Facing the attack of the Blood Fiend whirlwind, the Five Elements Grand Formation remained as stubborn as ever, without the slightest tremor, instead becoming even more formidable. The five Lifebound Treasures within the Formation seemed to sense the threat, simultaneously emitting a dazzling light. This light was like an invisible sword, sharp and piercing, instantly penetrating the blood-colored whirlwind and utterly destroying it.
His attack was easily thwarted, and Mo Qian’s face turned deathly pale with shock. The power of the Five Elements Grand Formation far exceeded his expectations.
Mo Qian immediately realized that if he couldn't quickly break this Five Elements Grand Formation, his Blood Fiend Law Domain wouldn't be able to last much longer, and he would face an unprecedented crisis.
A decisive look flashed in Mo Qian’s eyes as he prepared to fight for his life, frantically squeezing the magic power within his body. He formed hand seals again, and his magic power surged wildly. The suppression of the Five Elements Grand Formation and the spatial Treasure Mansion caused his internal magic power to flow poorly…
Moreover, Li Mu would not sit idly by and let him continue to counterattack. He waved his hand, and five sixth-grade Five Elements Spirit Swords, shimmering with dazzling light, flew out from the nine storage spiritual pearl, exuding powerful spirituality and sharp Sword Qi.
The five Spirit Swords circled around him, their spiritual light flickering. Li Mu formed a sword incantation, and the five Spirit Swords began to converge, emitting earth-shattering Sword Qi. The Sword Qi was powerful and sharp, as if it could shatter mountains and rivers and cleave the Void Realm.
With a "whoosh," the five sixth-grade Spirit Swords vanished into the air.
The five Spirit Swords, under Li Mu's control, transformed into a multicolored beam of light, whistling towards Mo Qian within the Formation. Wherever the sword beam passed, space itself twisted, as if the entire space was about to be cleaved by it.
Mo Qian’s expression changed drastically. He dared not delay, quickly condensing a blood-colored barrier in front of him with the magic power he had gathered to break the Formation. At the same time, he brandished a blood shield Magic Treasure, attempting to block the attack.
However, the five sixth-grade Spirit Swords merged into one in an instant, transforming into a Five Elements Giant Sword, exuding unparalleled might, arriving in a flash, causing despair.
"It's over!"
Seeing this scene, Mo Qian’s scalp tingled.
The multicolored beam of light struck instantly, and the blood shield defensive Magic Treasure and the blood-colored barrier shattered in response, turning into nothingness.
Immediately after, the multicolored sword light directly pierced through Mo Qian’s body, erupting with a powerful sword might. Under the impact of this powerful sword might, Mo Qian’s figure gradually shattered, turning into blood-colored powder, and under the bombardment of the Five Elements Formation power, he turned into ashes. The once invincible Refining Void Great Power thus became nourishment for the Painting World Treasure Mansion.
Mo Qian’s disappearance plunged the entire space into silence. Li Mu canceled the Shared Soul method, a tired smile on his face, but more of it was the joy of victory, and a hint of heartache.
"Master!"
The Azure Moon True Dragon, Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix, and the others all retrieved their Lifebound Treasures, looking at Li Mu with joyful faces, awaiting instructions.
"You've worked hard. You all clean up the spoils of war. I'll be over in a moment." Li Mu instructed the beast companions. As soon as his voice fell, his figure vanished, going to check on the condition of the high-grade Spiritual Plants.
Seeing this, the five beast companions were not surprised. They knew that for Li Mu, the importance of those high-grade Spiritual Plants far exceeded the spoils of war brought by a Refining Void Great Power.
"You're here! We lost 30% of the high-grade Spiritual Plants, Bodhi Spirit Flower, Heavenly Heart Spiritual Plant, Purple Clouded Spiritual Ginseng... As for the sixth-grade Azure Green Spirit Bamboo, we lost about four-tenths. Don't fight in the Treasure Mansion anymore!" Sensing Li Mu's arrival, the wood-element Clone looked at Li Mu with a resentful expression, reminding him.
The wood-element Clone shared the same consciousness with him; what he said was, in fact, Li Mu's will.
Looking at the messy ground and the high-grade Spiritual Plants that had lost their vitality, Li Mu sighed with heartache. He also didn't want to fight in the Treasure Mansion, but wasn't this a sudden incident? If he hadn't brought this assassin into the Painting World Treasure Mansion and fought in the Treasure Tower, who knows how many people would have died.
Li Mu immediately set to work, together with his wood-element Clone, to rescue the high-grade Spiritual Plants that could still survive.
...
At this moment, beneath the deep, dark sea, the Nine Demon Sect’s Demonic Cave was hidden in the depths.
In the main hall of the Demonic Cave, the air seemed to have solidified, filled with a tense, oppressive Aura.
On the main seat of the great hall sat a figure, none other than the Combined Body Realm powerhouse from the Demon Abyss—Blood Demon Lord - Dana. His eyes were bloodshot, flickering with a crazed light, and his roar echoed through the empty hall. Every word was filled with endless resentment and fury.
"Damn it!"
"I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"
Blood Demon Lord - Dana’s eyes were filled with the fire of revenge. He had patiently waited for over two months, only to receive the news of Mo Qian’s failed assassination and demise.
The demise of a capable subordinate instantly caused Blood Demon Lord - Dana’s negative emotions to erupt. He wished he could attack Wanxing Island right now, slaughtering and dismembering that person.
The other Demon Cultivators in the great hall silently lowered their heads, not daring to meet Dana's gaze. They knew well the power and ruthlessness of this Blood Demon Lord, and also understood his current rage.
The atmosphere in the great hall grew increasingly oppressive, and the killing intent became denser. Dana's fury swept through the entire hall like a massive storm.
"Demon Lord, please calm your anger!" Wu Tian Demon Ancestor smiled bitterly, advising, "Now is not the time to attack Wanxing Island. The old fogeys from Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect are still on the island. Our top priority now is the Sealed Land, so it's not advisable to attack Wanxing Island at this time."
Blood Demon Lord - Dana’s gaze was as sharp as a blade as he looked at Wu Tian Demon Ancestor, falling silent.
Although Blood Demon Lord - Dana was utterly enraged at the moment, wishing he could immediately tear that person into ten thousand pieces, Wu Tian Demon Ancestor's words were true. Obtaining the key to the Sealed Land was of utmost importance right now.
Blood Demon Lord - Dana took a deep breath, calming the endless rage within him.
The great hall was silent, with only Dana’s heavy breathing echoing. The other Demon Cultivators waited silently, awaiting the Blood Demon Lord’s decision. Their fates were closely tied to Dana; every decision he made could affect their lives and deaths.
"Demon Lord, this child is cautious and cunning. This assassination attempt failed, which will surely alert him. Given his personality, he will definitely choose to escape immediately." Wu Tian Demon Ancestor looked at Blood Demon Lord - Dana and suggested, "If I'm not mistaken, he will most likely flee to the Central Continent Spiritual Domain. We can set up an ambush along the way and wait for him."
After a moment of contemplation, Wu Tian Demon Ancestor continued, "Additionally, I will send people to secretly monitor him, making him live in constant fear and forcing him to flee as soon as possible."
Hearing Wu Tian Demon Ancestor’s suggestion, Dana’s eyes flickered slightly as he carefully considered the possibility. He felt this prediction was very reasonable; the Central Continent Spiritual Domain would be an excellent hiding place for him. If he were to escape, he would definitely go to the Central Continent Spiritual Domain.
If they could intercept that young man midway, they could not only avenge the loss of a great general but also obtain the key to the Sealed Land. This was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Blood Demon Lord - Dana's eyes flickered with a cruel light, and he said in a deep voice, "Very good! If that's truly the case, this Venerable will personally intercept him. I want him to know that those who anger the Blood Demon Lord will never have a good end!"
"Demon Lord is brilliant!"
Wu Tian Demon Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief and praised him greatly.
"Demon Lord is brilliant!"
The other Demon Venerables and Demon Ancestors in the great hall also joined in the praise, knowing full well that with the Blood Demon Lord personally taking action this time, that young man would absolutely have no way to escape. (End of Chapter)
