“Tear”
Two crossed claw blades that completely enveloped the entire Old Site Hall flew by. Chu Mu was unable to dodge, and deep gashes were torn into the surface of his back!
Since Chu Mu’s blood was burning in his half-demonized body, he would not bleed when injured. Only long, empty scars could be seen from the blazing flames on his back.
“Humph, you think you can fight me with just this much strength? No matter what you are, you will die in the end!” Duan Xinhe sneered coldly and began uttering a spell slowly under his breath.
Duan Xinhe was chanting a soul contract spell, but it differed slightly from a regular soul contract spell since the soul contract pattern could not be seen.
As a Soul Pet Master’s strength increases and their Soul Pet’s power changes, the Soul Pet’s pattern is no longer confined to a standard summoning diagram. For instance, when Chu Mu summoned the White Nightmare Demon, it appeared like a demon flame shadow emerging directly from Chu Mu’s body.
However, no matter how the soul contract pattern changes, there are always special symbols and patterns maintaining the pact between souls. That’s why no matter how the summoning pattern changes, some peculiar soul symbols and patterns must always be present.
Yet, none of these things could be seen in Duan Xinhe’s current summoning, meaning that he was still summoning those servant beasts of his.
It was as if lumps of rotten flesh were falling from Duan Xinhe’s body, piling up on the ground and gradually transforming into Gluttonous Insect monsters, taking shape as if kneaded by an invisible hand…
Ten lumps of flesh fell from Duan Xinhe’s body, all of them changing and gradually forming Gluttonous Insect monsters with disgusting yellow-pupil bodies!
Ye Qingzi had been taken by Mo Ye to the opening above the Old Site Hall. She did not leave, fearing that there may be some accident befalling Chu Mu.
Ye Wansheng, on the other hand, stared in horror at the Gluttonous Insect monsters falling from Duan Xinhe’s body, and a chilling sensation arose within him.
“Qingzi, let’s leave this place. We’re no match for these creatures. Dongqing has already gone to notify the Major Powers, so they should arrive here soon.” Ye Wansheng spoke up.
“Chu Mu is still down there.” Ye Qingzi said.
“He’s still down there? Then… is that terrifying demon monarch-like thing down there Chu Mu’s Soul Pet?!” Ye Wansheng asked in utter astonishment.
Ye Wansheng had been shocked when he first saw the half-demonized Chu Mu. He had heard that the powerful White Nightmare Demon could mimic the appearance of its master and fight in their form. Initially, he thought that this was the Monarch level Soul Pet White Nightmare Demon.
However, he then sensed the alien nature of the White Charm Demon King, so much more powerful and eerie than any Monarch White Nightmare Demon he had ever seen. He was utterly puzzled as to what kind of Soul Pet this could be!
Ye Qingzi bit her lip, knowing that the evil demon monarch was none other than Chu Mu himself. If she hadn’t seen it herself, she would never have believed that a human could become demonized to this extent.
However, she did not reveal this secret. Chu Mu would definitely not want anyone to know about the bizarre and powerful demonizing force he possessed.
Now ten Eighth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters were in front of Chu Mu. He had already been struggling to deal with two Ninth Stage ones. With ten more Eighth Stage Gluttonous Insects appearing, Chu Mu’s space to maneuver was getting even smaller.
These Eighth Stage Greedy Bug monsters of Duan Xinhe were also all strengthened, and their combat abilities greatly surpassed those of an ordinary Eighth Stage Commander. At first, when guarding one of the wells, Chu Mu had been injured by one of these Eighth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters and nearly killed.
When not in his half-demon state, Chu Mu would require the cooperation of two Soul Pets to deal with these Eighth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters.
Although a half-demonized Seventh-rank Ninth Stage Chu Mu could trample these Eighth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters, the powerful Ninth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters were still firmly restraining the release of Chu Mu’s insane power. Unless Chu Mu could break through the bottleneck of the Seventh-rank Ninth Stage and enter the Eighth Stage, it would be difficult for him to defeat Duan Xinhe.
“Don’t let that woman escape! My minions, go capture her and that Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox!” Duan Xinhe glanced at the gap above and spoke.
“Woo woo woo”
Mo Ye could naturally understand Chu Mu’s intentions. Without Chu Mu giving an order, two of Mo Ye’s tails separately coiled up Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng. In just a few leaps, they directly jumped into the underground tunnel.
Mo Ye didn’t slow down at all, constantly accelerating and running towards the opening of the underground tunnel.
“Sir Xiao, there’s a Soul Pet flying ahead,” said Soul Alliance member Su Xinyi.
Su Xinyi was a subordinate of Xiao Ren, and his perception abilities were the best among the group.
There were only three people from the Soul Covenant searching for Duan Xinhe in the sewer. These three were experts, so for them, taking care of Duan Xinhe was no problem. To people like Xiao Ren, going after Duan Xinhe was beneath their status.
Soon, the long-tailed Mo Ye quickly ran to the three Soul Covenant members. Mo Ye saw Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng and set them down without paying attention to the Soul Covenant members. It then turned around and ran towards the location of the Old Site Hall.
“Sirs, follow that Nine-Tailed Flame Fox, it will lead you to Duan Xinhe,” Ye Qingzi anxiously said, worried about Chu Mu’s safety and knowing that these three were experts of the Soul Covenant.
“Su Xinyi, Bai Song, you two follow and take a look,” Xiao Ren looked at the gradually running away Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox, revealing a look of surprise.
Inside the Old Site Hall, eight Eighth Stage Greedy Bug Monsters and two Ninth Stage Greedy Bug Monsters have already posed a serious threat to Chu Mu. If it weren’t for the power of his half-demon form’s soul burning ability, Chu Mu might have already been torn to pieces by these ferocious monsters.
Duan Xinhe had been standing at the entrance to the secret chamber the entire time, his brow furrowed because he could feel the combat power of Chu Mu’s half-demon White Charm Demon King growing slowly.
At first, this half-demon being could only dodge when fighting with his two Ninth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters, rarely attacking. But later, it was able to launch some Soul Demon Flames attacks that threatened the Ninth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters’ lives.
Duan Xinhe summoned ten Eighth Stage Greedy Bug monsters to try and end the fight quickly, but he didn’t expect this thing to hang on for so long.
Duan Xinhe was a Soul Pet Master over forty years old. His Gluttonous Insect monsters were his servant beasts and his only Soul Pets. Even if his strength had greatly declined a few years ago, becoming somewhat down and out, it was still easy for him to deal with a young generation member.
However, to Duan Xinhe’s astonishment, why did such a young expert possess such a powerful and terrifying force? Moreover, he was already able to compete with himself for such a long time at this age. Once he grows up, his strength will reach an even more terrifying realm!
He cannot stay! This person absolutely cannot stay! Duan Xinhe thought secretly. Such a terrifying thing, if it reaches a higher stage, even with all his Gluttonous Insect monsters, he would definitely be no match for it. If he lets it escape this time, he would not have any peace in the future!
The White Nightmare Demon had the Resentment Condensation Skill, so it could continuously release the resentment within its body when facing opponents stronger than itself, converting the resentment into its own power.
The reason Chu Mu’s combat power was increasing little by little was also due to the Resentment Condensation skill. However, this skill couldn’t grow as quickly as Zhan Ye’s Courageous Sting’s Heart. The appearance of ten, eight, Eighth Stage Greedy Bug monsters made Chu Mu’s fighting space extremely narrow, and the scars on his body increased significantly.
Under the secret chamber, the innards of the God.
The giant cocoon in the God’s innards suddenly shook violently, followed by numerous tiny cracks appearing on the surface of the cocoon.
Azure light beams burst from the cracks, forming an azure glow, illuminating the entire God’s innards in azure!
The Zhe Dragon’s claw fiercely reached for and tore apart the cracked cocoon, instantly shattering it!
A majestic Qingzhe Dragon’s head suddenly emerged from the cocoon, and a gust of azure dragon aura spread from within. All the white silk was instantly destroyed, and the entire God’s innards began disappearing under the influence of this powerful force!
The white silk cocoon was enormous, but it seemed unable to accommodate the awakened Qingzhe Dragon. Huge cracks appeared on both sides of the cocoon again, and the Qingzhe Dragon’s powerful azure wings were suddenly opened from the cracks!
“Aoao!!”
As the dragon’s head was raised, its roar echoed throughout the underground, the entire huge white cocoon instantly shattered to pieces, and like the slowly disappearing white silk, it disintegrated under the powerful dragon aura that resembled a storm!
“Rumble, rumble, rumble!”
The entire underground tunnel’s Old Site Hall began to tremble. Terrifying fissures appeared on the ground, and all the columns in the decrepit Old Site Hall were crushed by this force…
Suddenly, the rock and soil above one of the Eighth Stage Gluttonous Insect monsters collapsed, followed by more crumbling rocks falling heavily onto the chaotic ground of the Old Site Hall.
The upper layer of rock and soil had already collapsed, and those Gluttonous Insect monsters couldn’t even attack Chu Mu anymore. They panicked and tried to escape to the side.
Chu Mu looked up, and countless rocks fell from above him. Just as he was about to flee, the ground above him collapsed completely!
“Boom!”
The collapsing rocks fell on Chu Mu, who had no chance to dodge. Soon, he and one of the Ninth Stage Gluttonous Insect Monsters were buried under the rubble…
