The Martial Cloud Dragon had similarly focused its attention on the approaching group of snakes and dragons in the distance.

The Martial Cloud Dragon held grudges. Seeing that those snakes and dragon were still daring enough to come after it, gusts of hurricanes started blowing out from its nose as it waited for those mixed blood mongrels to come to its doorstep.

“Let’s lure them to the front,” Chu Mu jumped onto Night and asked all of his soul pets as well as the Martial Cloud Dragon to follow him.

The dark element near the cultivation formation was denser. Chu Mu had many soul pets with darkness property. Borrowing the dark element in the environment would give them a little edge in the battle.

The back side of the sun was usually the dwelling space of the dark element. This region was always shrouded by dark clouds. Streaks of pale white lightning flashed regularly and reflected the tall mountains.

“You won’t get away!” In the distance, a fierce roar suddenly rang out!

The owner of the voice was Snake Dragon Faction’s Eminence Zeng Long. He was currently standing on the head of a golden snake dragon that was over several hundred meters long!

The golden snake dragon had a snake shaped head, but two long horns grew on the back of its head. Pieces of metal-like scales covered its entire body, as it radiated a dominant aura.

Behind the golden snake dragon, there were many other snake dragons of various different colours. Toxic Snake Dragon that was covered in toxin, Winged Snake Dragon with membrane wings, Fire Snake Dragon that held a fire pearl in its mouth, Venom Vine Snake Dragon whose body was made up of various kinds of vines entangling one another......

Their long bodies were coiling around in the sky and on the ground, dragging over a long distance. Pairs of lantern-sized eyes reflected greedy and cruel glints. Just from the aura emitted by them, it was apparent to see that the Snake Dragon Faction was much stronger than Hexfire and Madam Huo.

“Chu Mu, are we going to fight against them?” asked Princess Jin Rou in a low volume.

The other side was really strong, especially the man that was riding on top of that golden snake dragon. His strength would definitely not fall short of Madam Huo who could oppose the Martial Cloud Dragon.

The Martial Cloud Dragon was really strong. However, it could only handle that Eminence on its own. Chu Mu and Princess Jin Rou would not be able to handle the remaining ten Snake Dragon Faction members on their own.

Chu Mu did not answer. He just continued leading his soul pets and the Martial Cloud Dragon towards a certain direction.

The Snake Dragon Faction were chasing closely right behind them, constantly shortening the distance. A green wind type snake dragon kept unleashing wind techniques to hinder Chu Mu's advance.

The chaotic air current certainly delayed Chu Mu’s speed to a certain extent, but Chu Mu did not intend to run far away anyway.

“The space around here seems to be very fragile,” Princess Jin Rou said as she surveyed the surroundings.

“Yes, Jin Rou, can your ability break the space?” asked Chu Mu.

Princess Jin Rou shook her head and replied, “No, but I can transfer my power to you and boost your power.”

“The Imprint Valley’s restriction still effects me. I can only let White Devil do it, transfer the power to it,” said Chu Mu.

“Alright,” Princess Jin Rou understood what Chu Mu was intending to do. She nodded and asked again, “Will this also put us in danger?”

“Depends on our luck,” replied Chu Mu.

The darkness ahead became even denser. Thick dark clouds were causing the entire area to fall into complete darkness.

Perhaps due to the oppressive feeling from the darkness or the restlessness of the space, Princess Jin Rou clearly felt her breathing becoming difficult after entering this region.

Unusual chaotic wind swept across without warning, indicating that the surrounding space had already begun cracking and an abyss had started manifesting......

“They’re here,” stated Princess Jin Rou nervously after she took a glance at the menacing snake dragon group.

Chu Mu nodded and rapidly chanted an incantation to summon White Devil.

In the fight against Hexfire, Little Hidden Dragon had suffered the greatest damage. Chu Mu recalled it and replaced it with White Devil.

The Devil Fire on White Devil’s body was still in an interchanging state. Sometimes it was a savagery black, and sometimes it was a bewitching silver.

“Chu Mu, what happened to your White Devil?” Princess Jin Rou looked at the White Devil strangely.

Black represented Black Nightmare. Princess Jin Rou had once seen records about the Black Nightmare in ancient documents. It was the highest bloodline of Nightmares!

Black Nightmare only existed in legends and documents. Not a single person in Nightmare Palace, including the entire Zhengming Continent, had seen a real Black Nightmare before.

Princess Jin Rou came from Nightmare Palace, so she clearly knew what Black Nightmare meant in the entire Nightmare race. Seeing Chu Mu’s White Devil occasionally changing into a Black Devil, she was obviously shocked!

“It devoured Black Nightmare’s soul,” replied Chu Mu flatly.

“Then...... doesn’t that mean that your White Devil has gained the power of Black Devil?” asked Princess Jin Rou.

“Something like that,” Chu Mu nodded.

In fact, other than Ning Maner who knew about the difference in Chu Mu’s half devilhalf  transformation, nobody knew that Chu Mu was already a Dual Evil Devil.

Princess Jin Rou was really curious about it, but it was not the time to ask questions as the Snake Dragon Faction had already closed in.

Princess Jin Rou closed her eyes as she began chanting, then she put her palm softly on White Devil’s forehead.

White Devil stared at Princess Jin Rou in a daze. When a rush of special energy was transmitted into its body, it began absorbing it on instinct and converted the energy into its own power.

White Devil should be a little stronger than Night, it was very close to the low class Immortal rank. Once Princess Jin Rou transferred her Devil Soul power to White Devil, White Devil’s evil aura rapidly started boosting. The interchange between the black and the white flames became more erratic!

Soon, Princess Jin Rou completed the transfer, and her face had also turned a bit pale.

“I have transferred the Devil Soul power to White Devil and have also blessed it with Devil Soul Praise. The transferred energy can let your White Devil reach the low class Immortal rank before it runs out. Devil Soul Praise is a gradual blessing technique, it has a certain probability of allowing White Devil to self evolve,” Princess Jin Rou smiled softly.

Seeing Princess Jin Rou’s body becoming faint, Chu Mu knew that she had used a powerful Devil Soul technique that would inflict harm on her own soul. Watching her weakened state, Chu Mu’s heart was filled with affection......

“Take a rest, leave the rest to me,” comforted Chu Mu.

“Yeah.”

Power transfer was a process where a Devil Soul converted its own mental strength into energy to raise the power of other creatures temporarily.

Meanwhile, Devil Soul Praise was a permanent blessing technique, similar to Yu Suo’s Blessing Nectar. This not only would allow the soul pet to awaken some racial technique, but it was also possible to let the soul pet complete a self evolution.

White Devil was currently in possession of two bloodlines. It could also use a portion of Black Nightmare’s power. However, it did not gain all of its abilities. Princess Jin Rou noticed that point and added the Devil Soul Praise even if it meant exhausting her spiritual power. She hoped to let White Devil obtain an even greater strength.

“Martial Cloud Dragon, attack the spot that my soul pet attacks,” Chu Mu raised his head and told the Martial Cloud Dragon which was prepared to fight at any moment.

The Martial Cloud Dragon nodded in approval.

“Jiji~!” White Devil became a little overly excited after it received a great boost in power.

Chu Mu was quite satisfied with White Devil’s current increase in strength, it was at least twice as powerful in spatial control.

“Mo Xie, Night, Zhan Ye, all of you as well, attack the same spot that White Devil attacks,” said Chu Mu.

Mo Xie, Night and Zhan Ye also nodded and followed beside White Devil.

After everything was prepared, Chu Mu turned his gaze to the group of snake dragons behind them that covered the sky and land.

They were already very close to Chu Mu's position, he would soon be in their attacking range.

“White Devil, attack!” Chu Mu issued the order resolutely.

White Devil cracked a smile. Black Devil Flame turned into a long Spatial Blade in its hand!

The Spatial Blade flew out from White Devil’s hands and it shot straight towards the location of those snake dragons!

Whoosh!

The Spatial Blade swept past them and it left a horrifying spatial crack above the snake dragon group.

That attack caused many snake dragons to shrink down in fear as they sensed the formidable power behind that technique.

However, the Spatial Blade was severely off target. It would not hit them even if they did not try to dodge it.

“That brat is probably scared stiff of us. He can even miss despite us being such a huge target, hahaha,” The man riding on the Wind Snake Dragon laughed.

“Yeah, that scared me. I thought that I was going to meet my doom.”

Enforcer She’s chest heaved up and down while he stared furiously at Chu Mu and Martial Cloud Dragon.

She recognized Chu Mu. It was him who had ruined all her plans. Otherwise, she would have obtained that Martial Cloud Dragon hatchling a long time ago. She also would not have lost her subordinates!

“Eminence, it’s him!” said Enforcer She grudgingly.

Eminence Zeng Long’s attention was not on Chu Mu, but on the Martial Cloud Dragon that exuded a powerful aura.

He could sense that the greatest threat towards him here was that Martial Cloud Dragon.

“They are attacking again, be careful with defense,” reminded Enforcer She after seeing a few techniques coming towards them again.

Mo Xie’s purple flames, Zhan Ye’s Destruction Ray, Night’s Demon Dream Strike, White Devil’s Spatial Blade and Martial Cloud Dragon’s powerful Dragon Flare......

The five techniques flew towards the same spot and they exploded flashily above the Snake Dragon Faction.

“What’s that brat doing? He wants to hit us with those techniques from so far away? He even missed by a fairly large margin.”

Amongst the Snake Dragon Faction, some were feeling confused, while some mocked Chu Mu.

However, Eminence Zeng Long focused on the tattered space above him and vaguely sensed a trace of danger from it.

Suddenly, he realized something and turned pale instantly. He roared, “Quick! Leave this place! This region is about to collapse!”
