Wuqu felt his blood run cold. He was incomparably huge in front of Qin Mu, but in front of the chubby baby’s face, he was pitifully small.
The chubby baby stretched his hand to grabbed him, and even with his remarkable abilities, he couldn’t break free. The baby put him into his mouth.
“My old brother and I share a name.”
Before he died, he heard Qin Mu’s voice. “That’s because we share a soul, and we share a corporeal body.”
The chubby baby swallowed him up in his mouth and started to chew vigorously. He suddenly grabbed towards Qin Mu in excitement. “Bad younger brother, die!”
And at that moment, Qin Mu’s corporeal body took out a willow leaf and stuck it gently back on the heart of his brows.
Before the chubby baby could grab Qin Mu, a formless force came sweeping over and pulled him into the abyss.
“Bad brother—”
After the chubby baby landed back on the ground, he suddenly sat down on his butt and looked around. He realized he had fallen back into the seal of Qin word land. The white beard elder and Crimson Emperor were avoiding him by hiding in the mountains.
“Bad brother, I’ll eat you once I catch you!”
The chubby baby erupted with fury and crawled with his hands and feet towards the mountains. He planned to catch the clone of Heaven Duke and the consciousness of the Crimson Emperor to vent his anger. “I’ll beat the old one first before beating the three heads!”
Both of them hurriedly avoided him, and the clone of Heaven Duke said, “There’s no need to be afraid of him, this is the seal of Earth Count, it will change continuously. He won’t be able to catch us!”
Crimson Emperor said, “You also said that the previous time and then we got caught.”
“It definitely won’t happen this time!”
Qin Mu returned into his body and sighed in relief. In front, the corpse of Wuqu sank, and Mingdu also vanished.
Qin Mu raised his head to look up and revealed a smile. “Goddess of Heavenly Yin, we have finally met. However, you don’t have to be sad. My divine art might be able to help you gather your soul that has been consumed…”
Just as he said that, Goddess of Heavenly Yin, who was standing in the sea, raised her foot to step over.
Qin Mu’s hair stood on end, and before he could even execute any divine art, he sprinted back on the bridge and quickly reached where the god of Founding Emperor was. Without any explanation, he grabbed him and ran.
Loud crumbling sounds of palaces crushed underfoot came from behind. After Goddess of Heavenly Yin’s foot missed, she turned around to chase.
Her body stretched all the way out of the space, and every step she took was a thousand miles. However, the speed of her taking a step wasn’t too fast, yet no one could match up with the speed she was moving!
‘It’s those starved ghosts that are controlling the body of the goddess!’
Qin Mu quickly guessed the reason why the skin of Goddess of Heavenly Yin would lay her hands on them. Without thinking, he immediately took out the Life and Death Book to shine at the magnificent goddess. He thought to himself, ‘Goddess of Heavenly Yin has already been eaten by those starved ghosts, so the starved ghosts actually possess the Goddess of Heavenly Yin! Which also means Goddess of Heavenly Yin is a starved ghost herself.’
Shining from the Life and Death Book, the goddess only paused for a moment as black smoke poured out from her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. She raised her feet once more and chased after them.
‘She is too huge, the Life and Death Book can’t shine onto her entire body!’
Qin Mu used his vital qi and controlled the Life and Death Book to float behind his head. He sprinted furiously and utilized the Heaven Pilfering Divine Legs that Cripple taught him to the extreme, raising his speed again and again!
“Senior, run!” Qin Mu felt exhausted from dragging the god of Founding Emperor along. He couldn’t unleash his full speed, so he hurriedly urged to the god.
The god of Founding Emperor immediately took off, and his speed was much faster than Qin Mu, leaving him in his dust.
Qin Mu was stunned and said angrily, “So that’s how loyal you are! I even shed a few tears for you! If you can run so fast, you should have brought me along as well.”
Suddenly, Goddess of Heavenly Yin stretched her palm out to grab at him. The palm from outer space rubbed against the atmosphere of Heavenly Yin World, causing flames to ignite from the friction. However, the flames were unable to burn her at all.
Her palm was like a vast land falling from the sky as she grabbed at Qin Mu.
Behind Qin Mu’s head, the Life and Death Book shone brightly, and before Goddess of Heavenly Yin’s hand could reach, her fingers turned limp one after another as though deflated.
Yet even then, when this palm landed, it was enough to completely cover Qin Mu!
Seeing how Qin Mu was about to be covered by the land sized palm, countless runes swirled around his body and his teleportation divine art erupted out. The runes swirled furiously around him like yellow joss papers, and when the runes turned into ashes, Qin Mu vanished along with them.
In the next moment, Qin Mu appeared a thousand miles away, and countless runes appeared around him again. He disappeared, and he was another thousand miles away when he reappeared.
His body flashed repeatedly, and even if he had to risk exhausting all of his cultivation, he had to rush out of Heavenly Yin World before Goddess of Heavenly Yin caught up to him.
Behind him, the low bridge crumbled continuously from Goddess of Heavenly Yin’s stomps. The long bridge couldn’t endure the weight of a natural born goddess after all.
Qin Mu was not far from shore and at that moment, and countless monsters swarmed over to latch on him just as he was about teleport again.
“Scram!”
Qin Mu executed the Life and Death Book, and the monsters turned into skins. Above his head, Goddess of Heavenly Yin’s palm smacked down ruthlessly!
Boom!
The sea of Heavenly Yin World trembled violently, and the ground on the shore also shook non-stop. Astonishing cracks stretched out in all directions, and loud rumbles came from all directions. Lava spewed out from the cracks, and yet the lava there was gray as well.
Goddess of Heavenly Yin raised her palm, and the bridge broke. The sea had been drained out, and a dried-up seabed appeared. The seawater that was originally there had vaporized!
As she raised her palm, countless runes flew around under her palm. In the center of the runes was a huge sword pellet that was like a metal ball, and the sword pellet was actually smashed in on one side!
Whoosh—
The runes burned and the metal ball vanished, appearing in the town beside the sea.
Goddess of Heavenly Yin was in doubt as she didn’t see Qin Mu who had teleported away. She looked around, but she still couldn’t find him.
In the town, the god of Founding Emperor popped his head out and saw the sword pellet clanging around in the town. Qin Mu tumbled around in the sword pellet as the metal ball bounced up and down.
In the sword pellet, Qin Mu propped up Carefree Sword and used it as an axle. Goddess of Heavenly Yin had nearly flattened him along with the sword pellet, and he had used Carefree Sword to not get smacked to death by Goddess of Heavenly Yin.
However, the sword pellet deformed from the blow.
When the sword pellet bounced up once more, the metal ball broke open and separated into eight thousand swords. Qin Mu leaped out and stretched his body. With one hand raised, eight thousand swords collided with one another and transformed into a small sword pellet which landed in his palm.
Suddenly, a crack came from his palm, and the tiny sword pellet exploded, turning into a fine dust that fell from the sky.
Qin Mu’s expression turned dark as he looked at his palm. Other than Carefree Sword that was in his palm, only a pile of metal dust was left.
He had withstood the palm from Goddess of Heavenly Yin and didn’t die, but the sword pellet used to block the blow from her had shattered into powder!
There was still support from Qin Mu’s vital qi previously, but once Qin Mu took back his vital qi from the sword pellet, it couldn’t endure the damage any longer and exploded into a fine dust.
‘The new won’t come if the old doesn’t go…’
Qin Mu still felt a pain in his heart. It was the most compatible spirit weapon that he had made when he had become a divine arts practitioner. It was a spirit weapon he had planned to use his entire life, but it shattered into fine dust just like that.
The most crucial point was that the materials required for refining the spirit weapons were exchanged with Si Yunxiang by pawning everything he had.
To refine the swords to the extent of flowing water, he had forged them with the devil fire and li fire together, and only then was his sword pellet completed. At that point, other than Carefree Sword, all of his other swords completely shattered. How could he not be pained?
‘Luckily, I scammed a bunch of Buddha Vitality Crimson Chromium from Sakra Buddha, this kind of metal is a unique metal to the Buddha Realm. The amount I’ve scammed is enough for me to make another sword pellet made from Buddha Vitality Crimson Chromium!’
Qin Mu let out a shaky breath and looked at the towering Goddess of Heavenly Yin who was still searching around for him.
The god of Founding Emperor ran out again and came to the front of Qin Mu.
Qin Mu had a black face, and his anger was hard to appease. “No loyalty!”
The god blushed with shame and stretched out his hand to pull him. He did a running action but couldn’t pull him along no matter what. He shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
“I see.”
Qin Mu came to a realization. “You don’t have magic power or corporeal body, and even your primordial spirit is gone; thus you can’t bring me to run. Alright, I’m not angry anymore. I need your help to find a high location, a place where I can shine my Life and Death Book on Goddess of Heavenly Yin’s face.”
The god of Founding Emperor immediately ran out of the town, and when he saw Qin Mu not following, he immediately stopped to beckon him.
Qin Mu hurried forward, and the two of them left into the distance. Not long after, they arrived at a tall tower beside the sea. Qin Mu looked up and was astonished at how tall the tower was. Heavenly Yin World was dim, and he couldn’t see far out into the distance. However, when Qin Mu executed Nine Heavens Eyes Awakening Skill, he could still see dozens of miles. Yet, when he looked up, he couldn’t see the top of the tower.
The gray fog circled around the waist of the tower, and he truly didn’t know how tall the tower was.
The body of the tower seemed to be constructed by some divine metal that gave off a black colored sheen.
‘What is this tower used for? It’s probably even higher than Crimson Light Heaven Suppressing Floor in Chi Xi’s hand.’
When he thought until there, he saw the god of Founding Emperor leaping up quickly and scaling the eaves on each level. Qin Mu executed Heaven Pilfering Divine Legs and ran up the tower. One leaped and one ran as they rushed up the top of the tower.
When Qin Mu rushed up the peak of this tower, the god had already been waiting there for him. It was obvious he was much faster.
Qin Mu exclaimed to himself and took out the Life and Death Book to place in the hands of the god. “I will cast a spell on the top of the tower, and you shall stand here. When I lure Goddess of Heavenly Yin over, you shall open up the book and use the book to shine her.”
The god of Founding Emperor nodded repeatedly, and as Qin Mu was about to jump down the top of the tower, he heard a flapping sound from behind. He turned around and saw the god opening the Life and Death Book and looking at the shining page before deflating.
Qin Mu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He took the Life and Death Book, which was still shining at him.
Without the shine of the Life and Death Book, the black sand flowed back and poured into the skin of the god. Soon, he inflated again.
Qin Mu passed the Life and Death Book into his hands again and said, “This is the front! This is the back! Don’t mix them up. If you mix them up, we’re both dead!”
The god of Founding Emperor nodded his head and beat his chest.
Qin Mu took in a deep breath and shouted, “Goddess of Heavenly Yin, I am here—”
His voice rang out, and his hands rubbed together. His vital qi transformed into vermillion bird vital qi and he spread a huge fireball out. The light was like a blazing sun that lit up the surroundings.
The surroundings were silent, and the god of Founding Emperor held onto the Life and Death Book nervously. He dared not put his guard down.
At that moment, the land suddenly trembled violently as incomparably heavy footsteps rang out.
