The power of the curse violently expanded, instantly reaching its peak, as if it had filled the space between Heaven and Earth.

Xiao Mu sensed something, abruptly stopped his Escape Art, and stared intently in the direction where the White Divine Mist had vanished, a surge of infinite sorrow welling up in his heart.

Within the White Divine Mist, he had sensed Qi Xie's soul fluctuations. The dissipation of the White Divine Mist meant that Qi Xie had fallen.

Senior Qi, I will definitely avenge you!

Xiao Mu muttered to himself inwardly, his expression however was resolutely determined.

He was skilled at controlling his emotions. Qi Xie's death left him infinitely heartbroken, yet it was completely imperceptible on his exterior.

"The young Qi has fallen, what a pity, this lad had the potential to become a True God."

Wu De, the Divine Monarch within the Black Jade Plate, evidently also sensed the changes outside, whispered softly, as if speaking to himself and perhaps to Xiao Mu as well.

Such a pity, Xiao Mu had already obtained the Curse Authority, half a Curse Stone, just a step faster, not only could have restored Qi Xie's strength but even turned him into a demi True God.

Once Qi Xie, had become a demi True God and significantly increased in strength, he would no longer need to fear the Curse Ancestor.

Unfortunately, Xiao Mu's speed was still too slow; he hadn't reached the scene when Qi Xie was already slain by the Curse Ancestor.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In his heartache, Xiao Mu once again unfolded the Five Elements Escape Technique, the Five-in-One Escape continuing toward the location of the great battle between Qi Xie and the Curse Ancestor.

Wu De, the Divine Monarch advised, "Young Xiao, don't blame me for not warning you, with your current strength, going there would merely mean death upon encountering the Curse Ancestor."

"And don't forget, you have the Curse Stone on you, if you are killed by the Curse Ancestor, the Curse Stone will end up in his hands."

"Once the Curse Stone ends up in the hands of the Curse Ancestor, his curse authority will be complete, turning him into a true True God."

"With the Curse Ancestor becoming a true True God, is there anyone in your Eastern Domain who can stop him?"

"Senior is right!" The words of Wu De, the Divine Monarch abruptly woke Xiao Mu, immediately halting the Escape Light, taking a deep breath.

He had been anxiously bewildered by the death of Qi Xie just moments ago.

Wu De, the Divine Monarch chuckled, "I see you got a bit muddled in your rush. Although Qi Xie was killed by the Curse Ancestor, it doesn't necessarily mean he will die. Don't forget, this lad is merely a soul and a spirit; his other two souls and six spirits are still lost out there."

"If you can retrieve his lost two souls and six spirits, not only can you resurrect him, but upon resurrection, this lad's strength could even surpass his current level."

"Senior is right!" Xiao Mu's expression shifted slightly, reminded once again by the words of Wu De, the Divine Monarch.

The Qi Xie slain by the Curse Ancestor was merely a soul and a spirit; with two more souls and six spirits still out there, bringing them back to resurrect Qi Xie really wasn't so far-fetched.

"Someone's Riding Clouds and Mist! Are there actually experts skilled in Riding Clouds and Mist in the Eastern Domain? Young Xiao, look up at the sky!"

Wu De, the Divine Monarch suddenly transmitted his voice to Xiao Mu again, his tone thick with immense surprise, as if finding it extremely unbelievable.

"What?"

Xiao Mu was startled.

Was there actually someone in the Human world skilled in Riding Clouds and Mist?

The art of Riding Clouds and Mist was something Mutated Beings could only study and practice upon reaching the True God Realm. Yet, due to the lack of a Secret Manual, none of the True Gods Xiao Mu had encountered like Senior Zun, Huang Yuan, the Great Leader Wu Jie, Wei Lingxiao, Zhu Bingshen, seemed to have practiced it.

Hearing now that someone from the Human world had come by Riding Clouds and Mist, Xiao Mu was immediately astonished.

Hastily heeding Wu De, the Divine Monarch's advice, he looked up and right then, Xiao Mu saw a mass of Colorful Clouds streaking across the sky, directly pointing toward the direction of the great battle between Qi Xie and the Curse Ancestor.

The speed of the Colorful Clouds was too fast; by the time Xiao Mu had just looked up, they had already passed right above him.

The astonished mutters of Wu De, the Divine Monarch softly reached him, "It's actually a woman, impressive!"

Then, from the direction of the battlefield where Qi Xie and the Curse Ancestor were fighting, an unfamiliar yet majestic voice came from amidst a mass of dark clouds above, piercing through Xiao Mu's eardrums and into his ears.

"Who are you?"

"Curse Ancestor, you've actually escaped confinement, quite the surprise. However, the Human world is not a place for you to run amok, I must suppress you again."

The chilly voice of a young woman, carrying the authority of a superior, came from the Colorful Clouds, leading Xiao Mu to secretly guess her identity.

A woman? A powerful figure from the Human world? Could it possibly be the current helmswoman of the Alliance, the Divine Phoenix woman?

Xiao Mu didn't know much about the big figures in the Alliance. A woman, a powerful figure from the Human world, proficient in Riding Clouds and Mist technique, her strength known without a display, must be above Senior Zun and Wei Lingxiao.

Other than the Divine Phoenix woman, Xiao Mu could think of no one else.

"Suppress me? Just with you, ludicrous. It would be more reasonable if Bai Jing were here! Where is Bai Jing?" the Curse Ancestor's voice once again transmitted from the dark clouds.

However, before the echoes of his words faded, a burst of spell light suddenly flew out from within the mass of dark clouds.

High in the sky, surging curse power condensed and suddenly transformed into a black ghost face with its fierce eyes glaring down from above the colorful clouds.

"Presumptuous!"

The cold voice of a woman inside the colorful clouds reproached, and as her words fell, this cold woman seemed to perform some astonishing action, radiating the majesty of an emperor from within the colorful clouds.

This imperial majesty soared skyward, forming a brilliant golden-yellow column of air.

"Aow~"

The curse ghost face emitted a pained howl, and with a blast of the golden-yellow air, it vanished into thin air.

"Human Emperor's Seal, who are you?"

The Curse Ancestor, taken aback, roared loudly at the woman.

But the woman inside the colorful clouds did not answer him, performing some action unknown, another wave of golden-yellow imperial aura burst forth directly pressing down on the Curse Ancestor.

"Hehe! You really think you can suppress me? Although the Human Emperor's Seal is strong, your own strength is too weak. If you were a True God, I might actually fear you slightly, but unfortunately, you are merely a Divine Spirit."

The Curse Ancestor sneered, and curse power surged in the dark clouds, suddenly forming several terrifyingly large swords that propped up the sky.

The golden-yellow imperial aura was actually punctured, revealing several gaps.

"Hmph!" a delicate snort came from the woman in the colorful clouds, and the golden-yellow air surged up once again.

Boom! Bang!

Endless curse power clashed with imperial aura midair, bursts of curse power shattered, and the golden-yellow air dissipated as the Curse Ancestor and the cold woman engaged in a fierce battle, slowly shifting toward the southeast.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

No sooner had these two powerhouses left than Xiao Mu promptly employed an escape technique towards the place where Qi Xie and the Curse Ancestor were battling.

"Senior Qi!"

Xiao Mu called out softly.

On the battlefield where Qi Xie and the Curse Ancestor were fighting, the power of the curse was intense, swathes of land were eroded, turning completely black.

Yet, the white mist imbued with Qi Xie's divine soul had completely disappeared.

Curse Ancestor!

Senior Qi, I will definitely avenge you!

Xiao Mu muttered to himself inwardly, his eyes fixated on the direction where the Curse Ancestor and the cold woman were fighting, eager to catch up with the Curse Ancestor and kill him immediately.

However, the battle between the Curse Ancestor and the cold woman grew farther and farther away, continuously heading southeast.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The sound of escape techniques came from the north, and Xiao Mu couldn't help but turn around. From afar, a five-color escape light streaked across like lightning.

In the five-color escape light, carrying a familiar aura, Xiao Mu immediately identified the person coming and was not flustered.

"Xiao Xiao, you actually made it here too?"

The escape light halted, and Senior Zun's figure appeared, somewhat surprised to see Xiao Mu.

"Greetings, Senior Zun!"

Xiao Mu greeted respectfully.

Senior Zun's condition seemed slightly different from before; although the difference in realms was too vast for Xiao Mu to discern accurately what level Senior Zun was at, based on the intuition of a Daoist Cultivator, he could clearly sense that Senior Zun's realm had elevated.

"Greetings to you too!" Senior Zun exchanged pleasantries briefly before immediately asking, "Where is the Curse Ancestor?"

However, before Xiao Mu could answer, he noticed the fierce battle in the distant skies and his eyes widened in astonishment, exclaiming unexpectedly, "Who is that battling with the Curse Ancestor? The Divine Phoenix woman? She's here too!"

"Senior Zun, the Curse Ancestor killed Senior Qi. His strength is considerable. The Divine Phoenix woman alone cannot defeat him. I would like to ask you to cooperate with the Divine Phoenix woman and take down the Curse Ancestor."

Xiao Mu suddenly suggested, inspired by a thought.
