Heaven Slaughter looked at Chu Mu and said nothing. 

The Chieftain instead let out a snort. They planned on ganging up on him?

Even if their numbers could go up manyfold, he probably wouldn’t take them seriously. These kids don’t seem to know the difference between normal immortal ranks and leader rank experts.

However, that was fine. They would naturally understand it on the way to hell. Some people never understand their insignificance until they’re dead or near death.

Chieftain didn’t care if Chu Mu and Heaven Slaughter joined forces. It was like two ants standing together; to him, it was just a matter of a single step to eliminate both still.

Chieftain stepped forward and looked calmly at the dark blue demon beside him.

That dark blue demon let out a glow like a pearl, and turned icy cold with killing intent.

This was an incredibly powerful demon. Every step it took emanated a powerful spatial black hole that devoured its way forward with nowhere to dodge.

Dark Sect’s six people all stood beside Heaven Slaughter. Their soul pets were all summoned already, the same dark type soul pets that had fought the navy before.

These dark type soul pets all stared nervously at the Deep Sea Demon.

This Deep Sea Demon’s species was unknown, but it had incredibly smooth, deep blue skin.

Its claws were similar to most long clawed demons. However, its elbow region had a fan shaped fin. This fin glinted with a terrifying sharpness. Countless organisms must have been dispatched using this tool.

“Boss, you leave. You gave us our lives, so now’s the time to return the favor.” The thick-browed dark sect man said to Heaven Slaughter.

All four of them were determined. Facing an unbeatable foe, they didn’t step a single step back.

Of the six Dark Sect people, the scout was already dead. Leng Lou wasn’t Heaven Slaughter’s direct subordinate. The reason he entered was merely because he knew Imprint Valley relatively well. However, the other four were all Heaven Slaughter’s subordinates, people who were willing to sacrifice their lives just to buy time for their master.

Heaven Slaughter’s expression didn’t even change. He nodded and turned to look at Chu Mu, “You guys follow up.”

Heaven Slaughter rode his Crown Horned Devil to avoid the Chieftain’s impediment and went straight for the exit.

Heaven Slaughter didn’t travel through normal space. Instead, his Strange Mane Demon created a small path through the chaotic space. In the pitch black black hole, his Crown Horned Devil travelled across this path rapidly.

Chu Mu immediately brought Princess Jin Rou and Martial Cloud Dragon along, while Leng Lou followed quickly behind.

Princess Jin Rou glanced at the four Dark Sect members beside them. She had always heard tales of how Dark Sect people were cold blooded and emotionless. However, the determination on these four Dark Sect members caused Princess Jin Rou to believe that Dark Sect may not be like the rumors. At least, to people they were served, they were extremely loyal and didn’t even have fear of death.

Anywhere they passed, the path broke. Chieftain immediately rode his Deep Sea Demon in pursuit.

However, the four dark sect members were very clever. They knew their opponent was powerful and that their soul pets couldn’t hit the demon at all. So instead, their techniques all slammed into the space to break all the space behind Heaven Slaughter.

At the Chieftain’s level, he may not get devoured by the black holes. However, he also couldn’t walk through this chaotic space as if it were nothing.

With the collapse of the space, the Chieftain’s brows furrowed and he humphed, “If you want to die, I’ll satisfy that wish. Go be loyal to your master in the underworld.”

The moment he finished speaking, his demon attacked the four Dark Sect members!

The four Dark Sect members merely felt something flash in front of their eyes. In the same moment, the Deep Sea Demon and the leader’s figures disappeared completely from their vision. Their speed was absolutely astonishing!

    ……    

“Ah!!!!!!!!”

A shrill scream came from behind them. The space was in utter darkness. Even if Chu Mu turned around, he wouldn’t be able to discern what had happened.

“They’re all dead.” Princess Jin Rou retracted her senses and said sadly.

The four Dark Sect members were all immortal rank. Of the trillions upon trillions of humans in Zhengming Continent, only a few stepped into immortal rank. Every immortal rank expert had an absolutely shocking past, even if they were dark sect members.

However, they trained their entire lives to reach such a level and still couldn’t delay the enemy for more than a few seconds. This wasn’t because they were useless; The enemy was just truly too powerful. They were facing the true tip of the world. Any action of these leader rank experts could affect the entire future of the human race!!

Dark Sect Heaven Slaughter was still running ahead. He didn’t say a single thing. He didn’t even look back at his loyal subordinates.

They weren’t afraid of dying because they had nothing to be worried about in life. Their lives were given by him. He was the reason they continued to live. If he died, they would have decided to commit suicide as well.

Thus, he never once turned around. This was their fate.

At the same time, Heaven Slaughter circumvented the Chieftain, he told his Strange Mane Demon to constantly create spatial cracks to prevent the Chieftain’s pursuit.

The four Dark Sect members were indeed meaningless in front of the Chieftain. However, they still managed to create a hope for survival. As long as they could reach the exit before the Chieftain, they had a chance.

“He’s here.” Princess Jin Rou warned.

Chu Mu turned around to see the Chieftain stepping straight across the endless abyss and was swiftly approaching them!

The abyss and dark hole both had a very strong pulling force that could impede the Chieftain. The abyss couldn’t completely pull the Chieftain in, however. Chu Mu could hardly believe that this person was truly this powerful, able to even defend the deadly black hole’s energy.

The entire Imprint Valley had countless people unable to escape the fate of being devoured. Yet, this navy beast was standing above the spatial black hole. This power caused Chu Mu’s heart to palpitate.

Facing the Chieftain’s pressure, Heaven Slaughter was very calm. He still continued forth without turning around.

Finally, Chu Mu saw the twisted spatial door at the end of the path. It glowed with a special gleam that seemed endless, but pointed to a new space.

Chu Mu saw Lady Si. She still hadn’t left yet, instead waiting for something along the Spatial Door.

When Lady Si saw Heaven Slaughter come over, she immediately smiled. However, when a deep blue figure appeared not far behind Heaven Slaughter, Lady Si turned pale again.

“Faster, faster!!” Lady Si yelled.

Lady Si was standing on normal space. Beside her were five soul pets. Clearly, she summoned them all.

These soul pets all held incantations in their mouths. With a single command, their techniques would all completely cast.

Lady Si was doing this so that the moment Heaven Slaughter reached a safe place, she would destroy the space between Heaven Slaughter and the Chieftain, not giving him the chance to continue his pursuit.

Behind them, Chieftain also saw Lady Si and her soul pets and furrowed his brows.

If he knew Lady Si would do this, he would have just killed the woman earlier and buried them all here.

“Don’t leave!” Chieftain roared and gave a command to his Deep Sea Demon!

The demon let out a guttural roar. Its pearl-like eyes shined with a deep blue glow, creating a water screen that became a powerful seal circulating with the shadows of the Water Totem Snake. (some powerful ancient Chinese mythical beast)

The Water Totem Snake twirled within the darkness and created a massive prison capturing them.

Seeing the opponent create a complete seal in the broken space, Lady Si’s heart was in even greater shock.

The terrifying seal started twisting under the powerful pull of the spatial black hole. However, this didn’t break the seal’s completeness at all.

“Don’t stop, continue running, the seal will be weakened by the black hole!” Heaven Slaughter shouted towards Chu Mu strictly.

Chu Mu didn’t mean to stop at all. Martial Cloud Dragon was already running at its top speed. Chu Mu could even see Martial Cloud Dragon’s wings starting to tear because of the black hole.

However, to survive, Martial Cloud Dragon endured the pain of its wings being torn off and flew against the pressure.

Just as Heaven Slaughter said, if the seal were in normal space, they couldn’t possibly escape.

However, this spatial black hole helped them here. The seal was severely twisted by the time it landed and they escaped through this twisted portion.

“Not good!” Just as Chu Mu was happy about their escape, Heaven Slaughter ahead suddenly turned around, pale faced.

Chu Mu was dazed as suddenly he heard a heart freezing whistling past his ear!

“Huhuhu~~~~~~”

A spatial turbulence broke through between Chu Mu and Tian Lu, becoming a terrifying spatial storm!

Chu Mu’s face went pale. The spatial black hole weakened the seal, but also sent over this terrifying spatial storm.

This spatial storm wasn’t lethal to Chu Mu, but the Chieftain could still easily catch up to him now!

In the moment of life or death, Chu Mu really didn’t expect a spatial storm to become his demise. Seeing the storm form and looking back at the Chieftain more powerful than the balck hole, Chu Mu was suddenly overtaken by the fear of death.

The Dark Sect people didn’t fear death because they had nothing to worry about in life.

What about Chu Mu? Did he have things to stay alive for?

He promised White Three to bring its soul to the peak of Nightmares. He promised Ye Qingzi to marry her at the day summer and spring meto make up for their incomplete wedding…..

Chu Mu bit his lips hard. Since he couldn’t run away, he won’t give up and let fate take him. The chaotic space was his territory. Chu Mu could have a fight even if it was against a Leader Rank Expert!

White and black devil flames darted up almost immediately. The Imprint Valley’s collapse caused the restrictions to slowly deteriorate too. Chu Mu could become a half devil now…...
