The Curse Ancestor spat blood again due to injuries, but this time, the injuries were obviously much less severe. With the Curse Ancestor's strength of half a True God, he could completely endure such injuries.

"So your strength is just this after all!"

The Curse Ancestor keenly perceived the change in Zun and others' strength, a look of relieved joy appearing on his face.

While speaking, he continuously drew in the curse power from his surroundings with both hands, forming a Curse Wall in front of him, and pointed his right hand towards Zun while shouting, "Curse!"

Rolling curse power shot out from the fingertips of the Curse Ancestor's right hand, forming a black light out of thin air that seemed like a dark cloud aiming to envelop Zun.

Under the suppression of the Divine Phoenix Human Emperor's seal, the Curse Ancestor's authority to curse could not be exercised, and the power of his Curse Techniques was also significantly reduced.

Even so, faced with the full force of the Curse Ancestor's Divine Curse Technique—a half-True God-level powerhouse—Zun also had to resist with all his might, releasing his own divine Spirit Tablet's business and curse power in opposition, while swinging the Golden Melon Hammer to furiously bombard the dark clouds pressing down from the sky.

A dull sound emitted, and after only a few strikes, Zun had scattered the Curse Ancestor's Divine Curse Technique power.

The Curse Ancestor let out a sneer. After Zun's outburst, his strength had clearly weakened compared to before. Previously, facing the attacks of many, he had no power to retaliate and could only fully draw in the curse power to form a Curse Wall to resist.

Even so, he was still continuously injured by Zun and others.

But now, after Zun and others' strength was reduced, although he was still on the defensive, he now had the ability to retaliate, unlike before where he could only passively defend and couldn't even do that.

"Haha!"

After using the Curse Conversion Technique to repel Huang Yuan, the Curse Ancestor burst into laughter, his eyes looking up to the sky at the Book of Destiny and the River of Destiny covering most of the sky, and yelled, "Although I don't know how you stole the Power of Destiny, this type of power has its limits, right? How long can it last, three minutes, five minutes?"

"As long as this old ancestor holds out for five minutes, waiting for the Power of Destiny belonging to Emperor Taijia to completely dissipate, this old ancestor will be able to recover the Riding Clouds and Mist technique. What will you use to stop me then?"

"Boy, I've remembered you."

The Curse Ancestor looked at Xiao Mu, a murderous intent visible in his gaze, "Once this old ancestor is free, I will definitely find a chance to kill you. Haha! Curse, Transform, Convert!"

Laughing, the Curse Ancestor again executed his Divine Curse Technique, Curse Transformation Technique, and Curse Conversion Technique, waving both hands simultaneously and continually striking Zun and others with various Divine Curse Techniques.

Zun and others swung their Divine Weapons to defend against the Curse Ancestor's Divine Curse Techniques, while finding breaks to continuously bomb the Curse Ancestor's body with their weapons.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Curse Wall was continuously shattered, and the residual force of the Divine Weapons struck the Curse Ancestor's body, causing him continuous injury.

Yet, the residual force of the Divine Weapons did not cause very severe injuries to the Curse Ancestor. With his half True God strength, he could completely withstand it.

In the sky, fortunately, the Divine Phoenix woman used the Human Emperor's Seal to suppress the Curse Ancestor, completely restraining the authority of the curse; otherwise, the Curse Ancestor would have been even more difficult to deal with.

Xiao Mu had been paying close attention to the changes in the battle, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

It was too shameless of Zun and the others. After one outburst, they actually did not burst forth again.

However, Xiao Mu could understand the approach of Zun and others. Burst type Divine Techniques, although they could greatly enhance one's combat power in a short time, would cause severe effects on the users.

Every use would cause tremendous damage to their life or Divine Soul, extremely difficult to recover from.

Knowing the consequences of using burst type Divine Techniques, Zun and others obviously did not want to cause excessive harm to themselves, all hoping someone else would continue to burst forth.

Truly shameless!

Xiao Mu internally sneered, feeling that Zun and others were too unscrupulous. They had burst forth only once and then not again.

Just as the Curse Ancestor had said, the duration of the Destiny Talisman is limited, and Xiao Mu, the user, had the clearest perception of the duration of the Destiny Talisman.

Xiao Mu even knew very clearly that the duration of the Destiny Talisman actually might be shorter than the Curse Ancestor's estimate of three or five minutes, possibly lasting only a maximum of two minutes.

On one hand, this was because the Destiny Talisman was created by the Human Emperor stealing the Power of Destiny, and the stolen Power of Destiny wasn't much.

On the other hand, it also related to the strength of Xiao Mu, the user.

Xiao Mu's Realm was too low, resulting in the extremely limited power of the Destiny Talisman he personally used. If Xiao Mu were in the True God Realm, Heavenly God Realm, or even the Divine Spirit Realm, the duration of the Destiny Talisman would have been a bit longer.

But now contemplating these things obviously had no meaning, Xiao Mu had to quickly find a way to deal with the Curse Ancestor, to avoid dragging the time until the Destiny Talisman disappeared.

"Elders, the power of the Destiny Talisman is about to vanish, please continue to burst forth and kill the Curse Ancestor."

Xiao Mu transmitted a message speaking to Zun and others.

"Cough cough!"

Zun cleared his throat and continued to launch a fierce attack on the Curse Ancestor.

The others, as if they hadn't heard Xiao Mu's words, continued to use Divine Weapons to fiercely attack the Curse Ancestor.

Erupt?

Every eruption inflicted severe damage on themselves, who would want to keep erupting? Isn't that foolish? The resources in their possession were limited, and although they had an extra Divine Weapon from Xiao Mu, who would want to absorb a Divine Weapon to repair their own injuries?

"Elders, if we don't erupt now, once the power of the Destiny Talisman dissipates, the Curse Ancestor could recover and escape using Riding Clouds and Mist," Xiao Mu said.

Xiao Mu, feeling increasingly anxious inside, could not help but urge them again.

"Old Huang, you go first!" Zun transmitted Xiao Mu's words to Huang Yuan, realizing the gravity of the situation.

"Let Old Wei do it instead," Huang Yuan transmitted to Wei Lingxiao.

"The resources at the merchant ruins are limited, another eruption and I won't be able to recover," Wei Lingxiao transmitted to Lv Liangping.

The grand leader of the Three Emperors' Tomb, Lv Liangping called out, "My resources at the Three Emperors' Tomb are equally limited. I don't know how long it will take for the risks caused by the previous eruption to recover. Another eruption might even cause my realm to fall, Old Xu, your turn."

Xu Jianan, who shared the same thought as the others, said to Xiao Mu, "Xiao Xiao, I can continue to erupt, but how about you send me another Divine Weapon afterwards?"

"Yeah, Xiao Xiao, I can also continue to erupt, just like Old Xu. How about one Divine Weapon for each eruption?" Xiao Mu was immediately responded to by Lv Liangping.

"Count me in, Xiao Xiao. If there's a Divine Weapon, I can keep erupting too," said Huang Yuan.

"As many Divine Weapons as there are, that's how many times I can erupt," Huang Yuan called out.

Zun laughed heartily and said nothing further, his thoughts obviously aligned with the others.

Xiao Mu felt his heart sink upon hearing all this.

These Alliance leaders had truly dark hearts, expecting a Divine Weapon for each eruption.

Although Xiao Mu could understand the actions of these leaders, since Alliance resources were limited and as leaders, they had to find ways to amass treasures from outside to improve the strength of their managed ruins, he still felt annoyed inside.

Shameless! Dirty, trying to scheme against me? No way!

Xiao Mu immediately saw through the leaders' thoughts and knew that these Alliance leaders were likely still willing to erupt again.

As Alliance leaders, they inherently possessed a necessary broader perspective; no one wanted to let the Curse Ancestor go.

The reason they hadn't erupted was because it wasn't the last moment yet; they wanted to see if they could scheme a bit from Xiao Mu and squeeze out some treasures from him.

Encountering a tycoon and not robbing them would be against all reason. They were all poor, and the ruins they managed were nearly bankrupt.

Like Xu Jianan and Lv Liangping, from the Three Emperors' Tomb and the Five Emperors' Mausoleum, they hadn't even seen a complete Divine Weapon or Treasure until now; how pitiful!

And here was Xiao Mu, producing over a dozen Divine Weapons and Treasures at once; who else should they rob if not him?

Shameless, dirty!

Xiao Mu guessed the thoughts of Zun and others but did not get angry.

Though they were all leaders, they were actually poor, each having reached the True God Realm but only owning Divine Spirit real estate, without even one corresponding Divine Treasure to their name.

The only person with Divine Treasures, Wei Lingxiao, had borrowed two from the Headquarters, and once Headquarters took them back, he would be left with nothing.

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Mu cleared his throat and decided to give these leader-level figures a bit more stimulation.

Thinking of scheming against me? No way, if you don't want to keep erupting, then you might as well endure not erupting at all.

Holding back, he reached into the Earth Seal Space, touching one of the four Secret Manuals obtained from the Curse Gate. After feeling the contents of one of the manuals, joy immediately appeared on Xiao Mu's face.
