Fang Ying, with her eyes slightly closed and fully concentrating on controlling the Judge Position, had no attention to spare for these occurrences. She was manipulating the Golden Judge, holding the Judge Pen and once again writing on the Page of Life and Death.

Hum!

The Great Decree instantly flew above the Golden Judge's head.

Supreme Intention fell from the sky and pressed directly upon the Golden Brilliance surrounding the Judge.

Facing the Supreme Intention of the Great Decree, a rare expression of reverence appeared on the face of the Golden Judge—an inherent respect from those of lower status towards their superiors.

Under the oppression of the Supreme Intention, the Page of Life and Death in the hands of the Golden Judge underwent a transformation; the two ordinary fragments began emitting Golden Light, carrying with them the Supreme Intention.

At this moment, the Page of Life and Death was no longer ordinary. After integrating the Supreme Intention, it seemed, in terms of level, to even surpass the original Life and Death Book.

Of course, it was only in terms of level. Since the Page of Life and Death was severely damaged, its power still fell short.

But, it was enough! In a sense, an upgrade in level might even be more significant than an increase in power.

"Xiao Xiao, what have you done? How has the Page of Life and Death changed?"

Fang Ying sensed the change and immediately realized the transformation of the Page of Life and Death held by her Judge Position.

The transformation of the Page of Life and Death was huge, even displaying an elevation in level, as if it evolved into some stronger Treasure.

This amazed her, compelling her to open her eyes.

The moment she opened them, she saw the Great Decree floating above her Golden Judge, and her face grew even more astonished.

Xu Qianwu was equally shocked, his eyes fixed desperately on Xiao Mu's Great Decree, unable to fathom the level of the Treasure.

The power of the Great Decree might not have seemed very strong, and the two of them didn't take it very seriously, but the faintly revealed Supreme Intention caused a tremble in their hearts. Even with their strength far surpassing Xiao Mu, they felt a sensation of being suppressed.

Xiao Mu smiled, "This is my Lifebound Treasure. As for what kind of Treasure it is, I don't think I need to explain in detail to the two Elders."

"Elder Fang, how does it feel now? With my assistance, are you able to use the Page of Life and Death and the Judge Pen to eliminate the Divine Spirit Realm masters of the Curse Gate?"

Fang Ying nodded, seeing Xiao Mu in a new, unfathomable light, and spoke earnestly, "I feel now that even if facing a mid-stage Divine Spirit Realm master, I can eliminate them."

"That's enough."

Xiao Mu was overjoyed and reassured, "Since there are no mid-stage Divine Spirit Realm Mutated Beings within the Curse Gate, it seems Elder Fang can eliminate anyone now."

Fang Ying nodded, then humbly said, "It's lucky I have the Treasure you provided, otherwise, how could I have such an ability? Xiao Xiao, if we can win the battle against the Curse Gate, you will be the leading contributor, and I should be thanking you."

"Elder Fang, you are too courteous."

Xiao Mu waved his hand dismissively, "We are all striving for the human world, there's no need for thanks."

Xu Qianwu looked enviously at the Netherworld Judge's Pen and Page of Life and Death in the hands of Fang Ying's Judge counterpart.

Xiao Mu had lent both of his Treasures to Fang Ying, enhancing her strength. As a result, her power seemed to suddenly surpass his own.

Xu Qianwu felt envious and somewhat jealous.

My strength is clearly stronger than Fang Ying's, alright? If the Treasures were lent to me, wouldn't I be able to play a larger role in the battle, cutting them down like slicing vegetables?

"Cough cough!"

The Old Master felt disgruntled, looking towards Xiao Mu and complained, "Xiao Xiao, aren't you being a bit unfair?"

"Fang Ying's strength is not as good as mine."

"If you can lend Treasures to her, why can't you lend them to me?"

"With my strength, if I get a boost, wouldn't we be able to cut down the minions of the Curse Gate like chopping melons and slicing vegetables?"

Xiao Mu was startled, not expecting Xu Qianwu to say so, and explained helplessly, "Elder Xu, it's not that I won't lend to you, but I truly don't have any Treasures suitable for your use."

"The Netherworld Judge's Pen and the Page of Life and Death can only be used by those with the Judge Position or the City God Position. You hold the Mountain God Position, so even if I lent them to you, you couldn't use them."

Xu Qianwu was disheartened, his heart sinking as Xiao Mu was right—the Page of Life and Death and the Judge Pen were indeed only usable by Fang Ying, and even if lent to him, he could not utilize them.

"Forget it."

The Old Master waved his hand, resigning, "Next time you get a powerful Treasure that's suitable for me to use, Xiao Xiao, make sure you don't forget about me."

Xiao Mu sensed something amiss and quickly reminded Xu Qianwu, "Elder Xu, the Netherworld Judge's Pen and the Page of Life and Death, I'm only lending them to Elder Fang for temporary use; afterwards, I will be taking them back."

"I'm also borrowing it, not asking for your own."

Xiao Mu gave him a tough look, a stance that hinted, "Don't be so stingy," "Just remember me if there's a Great War again and you have any suitable treasures for me."

"How could I forget? Am I that kind of person?"

After Xiao Mu replied, Xu Qianwu finally felt at ease.

This elder didn't really care whether he was borrowing or being given the treasures; his main focus was on enhancing his strength and killing the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings.

The people from the Curse Gate were still in pursuit, so the three of them continued to flee.

The power of nearly twenty Divine Spirits from the Curse Gate had to be divided into stronger and weaker ones, and gradually these twenty people spread out, each separated by a considerable distance.

The Curse Gate's people were wary of Xu Qianwu and didn't dare to separate too much. Even though they had split up, they still clustered in groups of three or five, and the distance between groups wasn't too far, making it easy for them to support each other.

"Let's turn back and fight!"

Xiao Qianwu, with a hot temper, glanced backwards, and immediately roared, "That bastard Qu Xuanlang, he's been cursing me for so long, this time I have to slaughter him!"

"Let's fight!"

Fang Ying nodded her head in agreement with Xu Qianwu's suggestion, her expression excited, clearly having been suppressing this urge for a while.

"If both elders have decided to fight, then let's fight," Xiao Mu agreed with a nod.

Fleeing was only a temporary solution; a battle was inevitable sooner or later. The number of people from the Curse Gate might be greater, and Xiao Mu's side was still at a disadvantage, but when would a perfect moment ever come so easily?

Now was the best opportunity to confront them.

Even though the three of them together were still much weaker than the Curse Gate, the good thing was that Fang Ying's increase in power was unknown to the enemy, allowing them to catch the Curse Gate by surprise.

Xu Qianwu looked at Xiao Mu with a serious expression, "During the battle, Xiao Xiao, you stay away. Just stay back and support me and Fang Ying."

"Yes, Xiao Xiao, you shouldn't get directly involved in this battle. Just hide in the back and support us," Fang Ying added quickly.

Xiao Mu's strength was still insufficient. If he joined the battle, he would immediately become a target and would be doomed if surrounded.

Given how much the Curse Gate focused on him, they would definitely target Xiao Mu once they spotted him.

Knowing his own limitations, Xiao Mu said, "Thank you both for your concern. In that case, I'll just stay back."

"I will support you both at any time."

He had the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree, which allowed him to simulate various Divine Spirit powers. Even from the back, he wouldn't be powerless to support Xu Fang.

Despite this agreement, Xiao Mu couldn't help but sigh internally: His power was still too weak to be of key help in critical moments. Had he possessed the strength of a Divine Spirit, would he have cared about the likes of Qu Xuanlang?

"Then it's settled," Xu Qianwu said with a hearty laugh, and bellowed, "Fang Ying, let's go!"

Fang Ying and Xu Qianwu turned together and charged towards the oncoming Curse Gate pursuers.

Xiao Mu turned and started to use his Escape Art to follow behind Fang Ying and Xu Qianwu, but after covering a certain distance, he stopped.

He couldn't go any further; it was too dangerous ahead.

The distance between him and the battlefield was just right for providing long-distance support to Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying without being targeted by the Curse Gate.

"Xu Qianwu, Fang Ying, you actually dare to come back to court death?" Qu Xuanlang saw Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying's move, and amidst his surprise, he shouted at them.

"Haha! Xu Qianwu, Fang Ying, you must be out of your minds to come back to court death! Very well, since you've come, don't think about leaving again," a dwarf man from the Curse Gate laughed arrogantly, convinced that Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying were doomed.

"Kill!"

Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying paid no attention to Qu Xuanlang and the dwarf man; they joined hands and attacked the weakness among the Mutated Beings of the Curse Gate.

Having battled the Curse Gate regularly through the years, the two knew the strength of the Curse Gate's Divine Spirits very well. They knew who was strong and who was weak, and therefore, they firstly avoided the stronger ones like Qu Xuanlang and the dwarf man, charging at the weaker ones instead.

Boom!

Xu Qianwu immediately unleashed his Mountain God power, and under the shock of Golden Light, the golden Mountain God rose into the sky.

Fang Ying manifested the Netherworld Judge's Pen in one hand and a Fragment in the other, locking onto a Divine Spirit and began to eliminate.
