Lu Yang was somewhat surprised to see that Wang Da had failed to achieve victory in one strike.

You should know that back in the Tianduan Mountains, Wang Da single-handedly withstood the attacks of a group of transformed demons and killed one of them, a transformed demon at the Nascent Soul stage!

Now, they haven't been able to gain an overwhelming advantage against the people from Xuan Tu Mountain.

It seems that the foundation of Xuantu Mountain is still stronger than those transformed demons.

Lu Yang's gaze passed through the layers of light barriers and landed on Zhou Mu below. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he said calmly, "Make your move."

Upon hearing this, Wang Er, Wang Shiyi, Wang Shiqi, Wang Shiliu, and Wang Shiba, a total of five Nascent Soul True Monarchs, nodded in unison.

Five figures took a step forward and appeared silently beside Wang Da.

The six stood side by side, their robes fluttering in the heat, and the pressure emanating from their bodies, like mountains and peaks, poured down.

The mere pressure alone caused the faces of several Nascent Soul stage elders from Xuantu Mountain to turn pale, their chests feeling as if they were being crushed by a mountain, making it difficult to breathe.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Xuantu Mountain immediately showed fear in their eyes.

Even Zhou Mu, who was leisurely waiting to see the show, widened his eyes in disbelief.

It would be one thing if only Wang Da was this strong.

Why is it that the remaining Nascent Soul True Monarchs are all terrifying Nascent Soul cultivators of Wang Da's caliber?

Are geniuses now as common as cabbages?

How come you can grab so many at once?!

The Nascent Soul cultivators, led by this white-robed youth, are all top-tier geniuses?!

Subsequently, both the Supreme Elders of Xuantu Mountain and Zhou Mu realized an even more terrifying truth.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch with such talent willingly takes that white-robed youth in the early Foundation Establishment stage as his leader...

How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator command the obedience of these top Nascent Soul geniuses?!

How terrifying must his talent be?

How distinguished must his status be?

Regret was already creeping into Yang Qiu and the others' hearts.

Although this young master acts arrogantly and recklessly, he truly has the confidence to back it up!

If they had spoken properly from the beginning, as long as it wasn't a blood feud, the sect could have compensated Li Fangfang with some resources to protect her. Why go against someone like this?!

But now that things have come to this, the die is cast and there's no turning back.

Just then, the Xuan Tu Mountain protective array behind them suddenly emitted a muffled hum. Then, the array's light shield became thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye, its color changing from light yellow to dark brown. At the same time, the range of the light shield suddenly expanded outward by a large margin.

The array patterns flowed rapidly across the surface of the light shield, exuding a solid and heavy earthen aura.

Seeing this, Yang Qiu and the other elders showed a hint of joy.

The sect's protective formation was activated at full power!

Yang Qiu immediately shouted, "Enter the sect's protective formation!"

As long as they retreat into the sect's protective formation, they can completely rely on the sect's formation to withstand the attacks of these powerful Nascent Soul cultivators!

With the foundation accumulated by the sect over more than 100,000 years, the protective formation of Xuantu Mountain can withstand the full-force attack of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

However, despite their good intentions, Yang Qiu and his group underestimated the strength of Wang Da and his group.

Eighteen more crimson-gold fireballs appeared in the sky.

Wang Shiyi and Wang Shiliu are also cultivators of the Fire Path. Their templates are the same as Wang Da's, and they both mainly cultivate the "Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique".

The eighteen fireballs, along with the previous nine blazing suns, shone brightly in the sky, creating a total of twenty-seven golden suns hanging high in the heavens.

The terrifying heat completely distorted the surrounding air, causing the surface of the sand dunes below to melt and emit wisps of white smoke, turning the entire desert into a scorching furnace.

Two large, crimson-gold seals reappeared in the sky.

When the three seals appeared together, the entire void seemed to tremble slightly.

The intense golden light bathed the sky and earth in a crimson hue, and the clouds within a radius of dozens of miles were evaporated by the high temperature, revealing the azure sky.

Under this terrifying heat and pressure, Yang Qiu and the others felt their scalps tingle and a chill run from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads.

"Why is it this spell again?!" One of the elders growled, his voice distorted.

The Nine Suns Burning Heaven Seal alone was enough to force them to defend against it with all their might.

If two more come, they simply won't be able to withstand it!

"Retreat!" Yang Qiu's wrinkled face contorted with a ferocious expression as he growled.

As long as they retreat into the area of ​​the sect's protective formation, they will be safe.

One of the elders reacted quickly, grabbing Zhou Mu's arm, and the group retreated at an extremely fast speed, trying to get back into the protective formation.

However, at that moment, the sand dunes below suddenly seemed to come alive.

The quicksand writhed and rose from the ground, transforming into enormous sand hands that reached out from all directions to grab the group of Supreme Elders of Xuan Tu Mountain above.

At the same time, they clearly felt the gravity around them change, as if an invisible hand was pulling their bodies down, and their escape speed decreased significantly in an instant.

"Tu Dao?!"

As cultivators of the Earth Path, they could clearly sense that this was clearly an Earth Path spell!

However, the sophistication of this spell far surpasses that of the spells from their Xuan Tu Mountain!

It's definitely a Heavenly Rank spell!

Among these Nascent Soul stage cultivators, there was even an Earth Dao cultivator!

They all turned their heads and saw a female cultivator with a calm expression making hand seals, her body surrounded by a hazy, earthy-yellow spiritual light.

Her aura was only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet the oppressive feeling she exuded made even Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators like Yang Qiu feel extremely burdened!

Despite being blocked by Wang Shiba's earth magic, the three Nine Yang Burning Heaven Seals crashed down with immense force.

Yang Qiu and the others' expressions changed drastically. They realized that it was too late to enter the sect's protective formation and could only turn around and hastily defend themselves.

However, the defensive spells they hastily conjured were naturally no match for three Nine Suns Burning Heaven Seals.

Layer upon layer of protective shields were shattered one after another with devastating force and a deafening roar, sending fragments of earth-yellow spiritual light flying everywhere.

The direction in which the three Nine Suns Burning Heaven Seals fell was precisely in Zhou Mu's direction!

Upon seeing this scene, the middle-aged man who had been holding onto Zhou Mu felt his scalp tingle instantly.

Without saying a word, he released Zhou Mu and retreated rapidly.

Zhou Mu is just a mere Golden Core stage elder. No matter what, his life is no match for that of the Supreme Elder of Xuan Tu Mountain!

The other elders of Xuantu Mountain retreated almost simultaneously, not daring to resist.

They knew in their hearts that Zhou Mu would definitely not be able to withstand this attack and would probably die here!

In this way, Xuan Tu Shan will probably lose all face.

But we can regain our dignity, which is better than all the elders losing their lives here!

Zhou Mu sensed something was wrong the moment Wang Er and the others made their move.

The moment the middle-aged man released his grip, he unhesitatingly merged his divine sense into the blood-red crystal.

"My lord! My lord! Help me!"

As Zhou Mu's consciousness merged into the blood-red crystal, the runes within the crystal became even brighter, and a layer of eerie blood-red light emanated from within, reflecting large patches of dark red light in his sea of ​​consciousness, carrying a strange yet alluring beauty.

The next instant, the runes suddenly erupted, and countless beams of blood-red light shot out from inside the crystal.

At the same time, cracks quickly spread across the surface of the crystal, with dense cracks spreading like a spider web.

Immediately afterwards, the entire crystal shattered within Zhou Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

The terrifying explosion violently shook Zhou Mu's soul, causing his vision to go black and his mind to go blank for a brief moment.

When he came to his senses, Zhou Mu felt a terrifying and eerie pressure emerge from his sea of ​​consciousness.

Zhou Mu barely managed to stabilize his soul, and saw a phantom figure appear in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He was a man with long, blood-red hair and two sharp, curved horns on his forehead.

His skin was a dark reddish-brown, but his features were quite young and handsome.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his blood-red eyes casually sweeping across the sea of ​​consciousness before finally settling on Zhou Mu's soul.

Zhou Mu was still somewhat dazed, but a surge of joy welled up inside him, and he hurriedly cried out, "My lord, save me!"

The Blood Demon man's lips curled slightly, revealing a half-smile.

He looked Zhou Mu up and down, shaking his head with a hint of regret: "What a pity, his body hasn't been fully transformed yet."

As he spoke, he extended a finger and gently tapped Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu's soul was immediately imprisoned, and he couldn't even struggle.

His expression froze, and he stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the Blood Demon man before him.

"M-Sir, what...what do you want to do?!"

The Blood Demon man chuckled lightly, his tone indifferent: "You should know very well."

Zhou Mu's soul trembled violently. He could hardly believe it: "Impossible! You promised me! If I mastered the Blood Demon Technique, I could transform myself into a Blood Demon!"

The Blood Demon man grinned, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, his expression unmistakably ferocious: "Indeed, the Blood Demon Grand Technique was created to forge vessels for the descent of powerful members of our Blood Demon race. Naturally, the Blood Demon body is more suitable for us to unleash our power. It's a pity your talent is too low; you've only managed to refine such a small portion of the Blood Demon body."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu's eyes widened, and fear appeared in them.

The Blood Demon Technique... is actually used to refine oneself into a vessel for the Blood Demon Clan to descend??

He's cultivated himself so diligently for so many years, only to have it all go to someone else's benefit in the end?!

He was about to say something more when the Blood Demon man was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore.

The exchange of consciousness within his sea of ​​consciousness happened in an instant, but even he needed to prepare briefly to block the three attacks from outside.

He was somewhat surprised that someone at the Nascent Soul stage could unleash such power from a Heaven-rank spell.

Those three Nascent Soul stage fire cultivators probably all have special bloodlines or talents, right?

Where do humans get so many fire-related geniuses?

If they were allowed to enter the Spirit Realm, the strength of the human race would likely increase significantly.

Unfortunately... they ran into themselves, and they couldn't go.

The Blood Demon man opened his mouth and inhaled, and Zhou Mu's soul turned into a wisp of green smoke, which he then sucked into his mouth.

He chewed lightly twice, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and then he swallowed with a gulp.

Then, his illusory figure began to change, the illusory image solidified, and the outline of his face gradually softened, even taking on a resemblance to Zhou Mu.

As the illusory image changed, Zhou Mu slowly opened his eyes in reality.

His originally dark pupils had turned blood red, and his eyes were filled with an evil aura.

Wisps of scarlet blood mist drifted from Zhou Mu's body, blooming into eerie blood flowers in the scorching air.

A terrifying pressure, accompanied by an intensely nauseating stench of blood, erupted from his body like a tangible tide, sweeping outwards in all directions.

This terrifying pressure caused Yang Qiu and the others' pupils to shrink abruptly, and they stared in horror at Zhou Mu, who seemed to have completely changed.

Yang Qiu's throat bobbed, his voice hoarse and filled with disbelief and horror: "...Nascent Soul stage?!"
