Chu Mu’s vision could see through the evil mound’s darkness, even though he was inside. He was also able to see the Great Ghost Blood Diagram above his head. 

It was this evil Ghost Diagram that had completely extracted Third White’s life force. 

When he saw the Great Ghost Blood Diagram appear again, a wave of viciousness surged in Chu Mu’s heart. 

“Mo Xie, tear it apart.” Chu Mu said to Mo Xie, who was on his shoulder. 

During the time that Chu Mu had transformed into a Dual Evil Devil and fought the enemies, Mo Xie had been silently lying on his shoulder. Mo XIe innately enjoyed fights. Even if she couldn’t participate in an immortal rank fight, she still enjoyed the feeling of enormous strength and extreme speed that came with Chu Mu’s fights. 

Nine Ghosts Shen, who had a lot of confidence in his Great Ghost Blood Diagram’s sealing, wouldn’t expect that the small fox sitting on the Dual Evil Devil’s shoulder to be the bane of all creatures that specialized in sealing and imprisonment! 

In the soul pet world, creatures with these kinds of species techniques were very special. They were so special that even if they were a lower rank, they would still be able to counter higher ranked creatures’ techniques. 

These creatures would always usually have a low species rank, and they wouldn’t have much fighting strength. The only other techniques they would have were fleeing techniques and techniques that saved their lives. Thus, Mo Xie, who had inherited her Silver Moon Fox species abilities through her mutation, was an extremely unique existence. 

In front of Mo Xie, unless they were inordinately higher ranked or they were special, barriers, seals, and prisons were unable to keep her inside. 

Nine Ghosts Shen’s Great Ghost Blood Diagram clearly wasn’t that much higher ranked than Mo Xie and as for whether it was special, Mo Xie had already proved it wasn’t by releasing Third White from it earlier. 

Therefore, it didn’t matter how strong or terrifying the Great Ghost Blood Diagram was. To Mo Xie, it basically didn’t exist. 

“Wu wu wu wu~~~~~~~”

Mo Xie kept up her pitiful appearance and let out a cry from Chu Mu’s shoulder. Her adorable and petite appearance was a stark contrast to Chu Mu’s evil and imposing nature. 

The silver moon imprint on her forehead flickered, transforming into a gorgeous light that condensed on her claws. 

The seal broke as the silver moon claw swept towards the Great Ghost Blood Diagram on top of them. A long, silver mark that resembled a silver new moon ripped through the gaudy blood red diagram.

    ……

“What… what is that?!” Ocean Lord Xue Yingfeng pointed at the silver pattern on the Ghost Blood Diagram as he spoke in shock. 

Nine Ghosts Shen stared with wide-open eyes at the silver moonlight blade that had suddenly appeared! 

The silver moonlight blade had squarely struck the center of the entire Great Ghost Blood Diagram, where all of the energy was converging. 

The most taboo thing for any sealing diagram was for its energy node to be destroyed- especially the sealing nodes at the very center of the seal! 

“How is this possible? The central node has countless protection barriers. How can it be shattered by a single silver moonlight?!” Nine Ghosts Shen said with a face full of disbelief. 

“What on earth is happening!” Elemental Sect’s Guo Enlong said somewhat anxiously. 

“My Great Ghost Blood Diagram is about to be destroyed.” said Nine Ghosts Shen. He sounded crushed.  

The great Five Ghosts Diagram, that was famous throughout the entire Wupan territory and would cause many higher ranks to go pale with fright, was about to be destroyed! Moreover, it was being destroyed within a few seconds of having been conjured! 

How much life force of the Dual Evil Devil would it be able to extract in these few short seconds? 

Not only was Nine Ghosts Shen’s face ashen, but even Xu Lu, who had maintained his calm, went pale! 

They had sacrificed the life of a Light’s Fury in order to obtain the opportunity to seal this monster. Yet, it was useless against the Dual Evil Devil! 

At the center of the Great Ghost Blood Diagram was a lot of fresh blood. Once it was destroyed by the silver moon blade, the entire blood diagram exploded! 

“Pu chi~~~~~~~ Pu chi~~~~~~~~”

The enormous amount of blood transformed into bloody pillars that spurted in all directions. 

At the very center of the blood pattern, a blood waterfall containing endless aura poured down from the sky and struck the ground. 

In an instant, the thick blood became a surging flood that rushed towards its surroundings.

As the striking, red and horrifying blood spread, the empty land around the Messiah Tree was rapidly dyed a red color and became a lake of blood! 

Thick blood flowed past Xu Lu, Xu Kuan, Guo Enlong, Xue Yingfeng, and Nine Ghosts Shen’s feet. The five of them had already been overcome with fear and unease. The flowing blood was foreshadowing a tide of death that was going to devour them! 

At the very center of where the blood was wantonly splurting out stood the half black and half silver devil whose body was standing atop the thick red blood that was gushing out.

Perhaps, to a supreme and evil creature like this, the ocean of blood formed from countless lives under its feet and the darkened sky best accentuated it. 

Chu Mu didn’t use any techniques, nor did he release his rampant devil flames. He merely stood there, dragging a milky white corpse in his right hand… 

The five immortal rank experts involuntarily took a step back out of fear! 

Chu Mu lifted his right hand and threw the Light’s Fury’s half deformed corpse to Xu Kuan like it was a piece of garbage! 

Xu Kuan had just suffered a severe mental blow. Now that he had to personally look at his Light’s Fury’s half deformed corpse, his legs began to violently tremble. 

This devil had been killing pets and human alike. Thus, the devil throwing the corpse in front of him was an indication the next one to die would be him, Xu Kuan! 

It would be easy as pie for the Dual Evil Devil to kill whoever it wanted, even if this person was surrounded by numerous immortal rank experts. 

Xu Kuan didn’t want to die. It had taken him much pain and effort to climb up to the Master Official position in Divine Sect. He still hadn’t had the opportunity to gather wealth and enjoy the respect and reverence of others… 

He didn’t want to die! 

But the piercing stare from the Dual Evil Devil’s eyes made Xu Kuan’s mental state collapse. Xu Kuan looked pleadingly at his big brother, Xu Lu, who was next to him. 

Right now, the only one capable of saving him was the strongest among them, Xu Lu. However, when he thought of how Xu Lu unhesitatingly sacrificed his Light’s Fury, Xu Kuan suddenly felt at a loss. 

Xu Lu had already lost the color from his face. In his mind, he obviously wasn’t thinking of how to save his younger brother, but how to free himself from the clutches of this Dual Evil Devil.

In a situation with seven immortal ranks and 100 dominator rank experts, this Dual Evil Devil had been able to easily take their lives. Now, there only remained four immortal rank soul pets, with the ability to fight: the Light Emperor, the Blood Ghost, the Unifying Wind Unicorn, and the Python Tail Blue Lion. 

Although these four soul pets were strong, they could only ensure, at most, that they wouldn’t be instakilled by the Dual Evil Devil. 

Xu Lu, Guo Enlong, Xue Yingfeng, and Nine Ghosts Shen all had sweat incessantly pour down their foreheads. Their eyes stared unmovingly at the Dual Evil Devil. 

Nobody would pay attention to Xu Kuan, who had just lost his soul pet right now. 

Xu Kuan himself realized this. While trembling, he decisively chanted an incantation, summoning a demon! 

Xu Kuan jumped onto the demon’s back, and soullessly fled far away. 

Right now, he was a mere cripple in front of an immortal rank. If he didn’t flee, he would die instantly!

Xu Kuan’s demon had reached the peak dominator rank. Its fleeing speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, it had traveled tens of kilometers. In a few seconds, it would probably reach a few hundred kilometers. 

Chu Mu’s eyes followed Xu Kuan who was fleeing for his life. A mocking sneer flashed through his eyes. 

What was the method of killing enemies that make them feel so much pain and despair that they wouldn’t want to live anymore? 

The first thing to do was to give enemies a hope for survival. Then, when they actually believed they had managed to escape, Chu Mu would crush their lives. The expression of despair in their eyes would certainly be unforgettable when that happened.  

Thus, Chu Mu just watched Xu Kuan run away. Under his Other Pupil effect, Xu Kuan’s running speed was simply too slow. 

“You aren’t going to save your younger brother’s life?” since he had time, Chu Mu turned his gaze to Xu Lu, and spoke in a ridiculing tone. 

Sweat was still running down Xu Lu’s forehead. He didn’t say anything. He was deeply afraid that the Dual Evil Devil would suddenly attack him. 

From the scent of their bloodlines, Chu Mu could tell that Xu Kuan was Xu Lu’s actual younger brother. However, it was truly rare for an older brother to do something as heartless as what Xu Lu had done. 

“Either way, it doesn’t matter. You’ll soon be able to see each other in the afterlife. You guys will have a long time to mend your brotherly bond then.” After speaking, a ruthless smile rose on Chu Mu’s face. 

He stretched out his hand, and black flames suddenly expanded into the surroundings!

Spatial Grab! 

A spatial energy shot forth, and almost instantly reached Xu Kuan who had already fled far away. 

Both Xu Kuan and his demon were grabbed, and they were forcibly hauled back from several hundreds of kilometers away! 

Xu Kuan and the demon were grabbed by their heads, and brought back to the Dual Evil Devil Chu Mu. 

Xu Kuan’s expression was one of panic and disbelief. 

Just as Chu Mu had been imagining earlier, Xu Kuan, after fleeing several hundreds of kilometers, actually believed that he would be able to survive. 

But in the next instant, he had been brought back in front of this terrifying Dual Evil Devil. He was no more than three meters away from its terrifying face that was burning with black and white devil flames! 

At such a close distance, Xu Kuan completely collapsed. 

“Dark Obliteration!” 

Chu Mu coldly spoke the name of a technique. 

His right hand of darkness gave a slight squeeze. Immediately, a terrifying black hand enveloped Xu Kuan and his demon. This hand of darkness squeezed according to Chu Mu’s anger. 

“Peng!!!!!!!!”

 As the hand of darkness squeezed tightly, Xu Kuan and his demon shattered from the sheer force! 

“Ge zhi!! Ge zhi Ge zhi!!!” 

Chu Mu’s left hand used force to knead his palm. Horrifying noises of Xu Kuan and the demon’s bones shattering would repeatedly ring out as they were broken down until they couldn’t be squeezed anymore!  

After some time, Xu Kuan and the demon were no longer emitting cracking noises. And Chu Mu, who was filled with viciousness, finally decided to relax his hand. 

A pile of black powder fell through the gaps in his fingers. Both the man and the demon had become tiny granules of sand… 

A wind swept through the area, lifting the corpse sand into the air and blowing it towards Xu Lu’s face. 

Xu Lu, having witnessed the horrifying scene, felt his heart violently beat. The black particles that had blown past his face were the remnants of his younger brother’s corpse! 

Who would have thought that a once-living person could be crushed into such fine powder?
