High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

Cheng Fei was incredibly unlucky. Although Chen Mo used physical means to temporarily remove the control, the deep-seated control remained.

Actually, it's alright; Cheng Fei has gotten used to it over the years.

I was dizzy and felt like my body was being hollowed out. When I woke up, there was only a trace of life force left in my body.

That alone wouldn't have been a big deal, but just as he was about to get up from the ground to find some water, the entire rainforest seemed to come alive and started moving around.

He was swept up in the mud and trees and flew directly into the air.

Later, for some unknown reason, the soil and trees exploded, and he fell from the sky.

He was already seriously injured, and this fall almost killed him.

If Chen Mo had arrived any later, he might have really perished in this divine tomb.

After listening to Cheng Fei's story, Chen Mo felt his face burning.

"I'm sorry, there were too many enemies and I was focused on the battle, so I forgot about you. It was really unfortunate."

Chen Mo scratched his face awkwardly. He had indeed forgotten about Cheng Fei when he was fighting with the corn cob god.

"Currently, everything is moving in a positive direction."

Song Bin didn't pay attention to these details; their Great Xia human race's fighting strength had decreased from two people to two zero-quarters people.

Yes, in Song Bin's eyes, Cheng Fei's abilities were at most a quarter of what Song Bin's.

"But... I could be controlled by Mu Ling at any moment. If you two discover I'm being controlled, don't hold back, kill me immediately!"

Cheng Fei frowned; he was genuinely afraid of holding Chen Mo and Song Bin back.

"Don't worry, your strength is no threat to the two of us."

Song Bin waved his hand to indicate that Cheng Fei didn't need to worry, but Cheng Fei felt quite hurt by his words.

"Leave the Tomb of the Gods now. Once you leave, you'll be out of Namu Ling's control."

"There's no need to worry about what happens next; the two of us are more than enough to crush them."

After getting up and stretching his body, Song Bin decided to go with Chen Mo to find the original blood in the cold coniferous forest.

"Hmm... I think I can remove the blood pact on you?"

The feathered serpent king slowly crawled over and stared at the withered blood-red rose on Cheng Fei's forehead.

Cheng Fei's eyes lit up as she saw a giant python, as large as a mountain range, rise up from the ground and swallow him whole.

"..."

"Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Song Bin turned to look at Chen Mo, knowing that Chen Mo had brought all this junk.

"It's alright, Aunt Snake is reliable."

Chen Mo waved his hand. Although he didn't know what abilities the Feathered Serpent King had, since she had said so, it was probably fine.

The feathered serpent king's abdomen throbbed a few times, and waves of a disturbing, intoxicating fragrance wafted out.

Chen Mo and Song Bin frowned; the smell was so fragrant it was almost rotten.

A dozen minutes later, Quetzalcoatl gagged twice and vomited up Cheng Fei, who was covered in digestive fluids.

"The taste wasn't great, but it was enough to fill my stomach."

The bracelet transformed back into a bracelet, and the voice of the Feathered Serpent King rang out once more.

"He's fine now, but there's nothing I can do about the part of him that's been assimilated."

"In this state... once he leaves the abyss, the energy and blood in his body will become unbalanced, and he will explode within ten minutes."

Cheng Fei, who had just been in a state of excitement, froze, gave a wry smile, and shook her head.

"It's alright. It just so happens that you've become a martial artist. You'll be assigned to the vicinity of the Ruins soon."

Song Bin patted Cheng Fei on the shoulder and offered him a word of comfort.

"Stay with us, we're going to find that primordial blood here."

After saying that, Song Bin stepped into the void and shot into the sky, with Cheng Fei following closely behind. He wanted to kill Mu Ling, that bastard who had controlled him for many years, with his own hands.

Chen Mo spread his wings and followed, holding the sleeping Funi in his arms.

"Am I imagining things? Why do I smell like dog?"

Chen Mo leaned closer to Funi's neck and took a careful sniff.

Yes, that's right, it's that warm, dog-like smell from a puppy.

"Could this little thing really be a dog?"

Chen Mo didn't take it too seriously and carried Funi on his shoulder as he chased after them.

...

In the desert region, the remaining six guardians of the Blood King Domain and the Order King Domain landed in a sorry state.

As soon as they landed, they saw three corpses with their eyes wide open in death.

"This is..."

The only one who was in relatively good condition was Mu Ling, who went up to the corpses and examined them.

"The guardians of the Spirit King Domain and the Mechanical King Domain..."

Mu Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately went on high alert.

The Mechanical King of the Spirit King Domain is one of the strongest among the six Supreme Kings, and the guardians under him are also stronger than those of the other domains.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, of the twelve guardians from the two kingdoms, nine should have left intact...

Three garrison commanders died.

What on earth happened in this godforsaken place?

Moreover, these bodies should not be called corpses, but rather bodies that still possess a vibrant life force.

But these bodies didn't react at all, just staring straight at the sky without moving.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The desert began to tremble, the distant sky was obscured by a vast amount of yellow sand, and everything around turned golden.

A figure dressed entirely in black appeared, wielding a scepter resembling a sharp axe, its eerie green eyes fixed intently on them.

Mu Ling's pupils contracted as he immediately spotted the blood-red crystals on Anubis's Scepter.

Primal Blood!

"So that's how it is. You're the one who killed the Spirit King and the guardian of the Mechanical Domain."

Mu Ling slowly retreated; he wasn't going to be among the first to make a move.

"Give me your soul..."

Anubis's nearly rotten throat vibrated, emitting eerie sounds that were not human.

A fierce wind howled, a ghostly green light shone, and countless howling ghosts burst forth from the ground.

A chilling wind swept through the air, and the aura of death permeated every corner. A storm composed of countless dead souls began to rage.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Mu Ling felt uneasy, and the other five garrison commanders also looked terrified.

The storm of souls trapped them with Anubis.

Mu Ling tried to touch the storm, and the moment his fingertips touched the dead souls, they lost their flesh color and became dry like corpses.

"Your souls will be used as bargaining chips; only by surrendering treasures of equal value will you be entitled to leave."

The golden scales gleamed, and Anubis extended his black claws toward the six guardians.

Anubis, as the god of death in the Egyptian pantheon, is actually not ranked highly, and no one knows why the primordial blood appeared in his hands.

But Anubis doesn't look like a living thing at all now; he looks more like an empty shell that has been dead for a long time.

It is very similar to the state of Yhorm Kax, the god of corn.

However, Mu Ling and his group were unaware of this, and they had no intention of engaging in this transaction.

"Stop playing dumb. Nobody's going anywhere unless we show our true skills against him."

A guardian of the Blood King Domain opened the gate, and a gray, mist-like longsword appeared in his hand.

"The True Explanation of Destiny and Martial Arts!"

His body was shrouded in pale gray smoke armor, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes.

"That makes sense. As for who gets the primordial blood, that's up to each individual's ability!"

Greed ultimately triumphed over fear, and the five people, except for Mu Ling, all activated their Life Martial True Understanding, preparing to fight to the death!
