Boom!

The Mountain God Token finally flew out from above Liu Jin's head and, in the next moment, landed in Xiao Mu's hand. The Token, which looked just like Liu Jin, rapidly shrank and disappeared, leaving a small black command token in Xiao Mu's hand, engraved with the ancient character for "mountain."

This was the Mountain God Token, equivalent to the official seal of a Mountain God, and Xiao Mu had finally stripped it from Liu Jin.

Xiao Mu looked down at the Mountain God Token he had just acquired and nodded in satisfaction.

Stripping a divine position was exceedingly difficult. If it were merely a matter of killing Liu Jin, with his current strength, he could easily achieve that. However, stripping a divine position was at least dozens of times, if not a hundred times, harder than merely killing Liu Jin.

Xiao Mu sighed, which was no wonder divine positions were seldom taken by others. Killing a Divine Spirit, a Mutated Being of equal or greater strength could do it, but stripping a divine position required one to be dozens of times stronger.

And those who were a hundred times stronger probably had no interest in dealing with such weaklings.

Having secured the Mountain God Token into the Earth Seal Space, Xiao Mu once again looked towards Wang Yu and Liu Jin.

Wang Yu and Liu Jin were still resisting. Wang Yu was desperately trying to keep up with the dimming divine light of the Land God Token above his head, while Liu Jin, having lost his divine position as Mountain God, had become extremely weak and was about to collapse.

Cornered and desperate resistance!

These words flashed through Xiao Mu's mind, but he felt no pity for Wang Yu and Liu Jin. He stretched out his right hand, and the Eight-Sided Hammer, trailing a streak of golden light like a meteor from the sky, crashed down on Liu Jin with a thunderous rumble.

Puff!

After losing the Mountain God Token and sustaining severe injuries, Liu Jin became extremely frail. When Xiao Mu's hammer struck him, it was like smashing a watermelon, and his entire body immediately burst open.

Energy Points +5, Liu Jin dead.

The death of Liu Jin terrified Wang Yu, who, despite teaming up with Liu Jin, had still been completely suppressed by Xiao Mu. They had been left with no room to resist or retaliate. Now that Liu Jin was dead, Wang Yu's own strength was clearly inadequate to confront Xiao Mu.

"Someone, someone, there's an intruder!"

Wang Yu suddenly yelled for help, his voice, fueled by the True Force, carried like thunder far and wide.

Tumult arose from other parts of Jinhai Garden, and people were rushing this way.

Has this guy lost his senses? In the entire Jinhai Garden, aside from you and Liu Jin, who are in the True Realm, the rest of the Life and Death Sect consist of merely some Variants in the Mortal Realm. What's the point in seeking their help? Do you really think they can assist you?

Xiao Mu felt disdain for Wang Yu's actions. He pointed his finger and released a Ghost Servant, ordering it to intercept the approaching Life and Death Sect Variants. There was no need to kill all of them, but they should not let anyone escape. They were to capture some alive and restrain their movements with a seal.

The Ghost Servant took off to intercept the Life and Death Sect Variants in the Mortal Realm and, immediately, cries of agony began to resound.

The Variants of the Mortal Realm's Life and Death Sect were no match for the Ghost Servant and were quickly killed.

Xiao Mu did not care about the battle between the Ghost Servant and the Life and Death Sect's Variants. After sending the Ghost Servant away, his attention returned to Wang Yu.

Glancing at the dimming divine light of the Land God Token above Wang Yu's head, Xiao Mu decided to test again if the combination of the Divine Emperor's Seal and the Great Decree with the Earth God's position could indeed not strip Wang Yu of his Land God Token.

"Strip!"

Xiao Mu stretched out his hand towards the dim Land God Token above Wang Yu's head. The huge Magistrate felt a tremor and mimicked Xiao Mu's action. The Heavenly Emperor's Seal and the Great Decree simultaneously released spiritual light, and the supreme will descended from heaven.

The Emperor's Authority and the Magistrate's Authority mixed together and, in a blink of an eye, landed on Wang Yu's Land God Token, initiating the stripping process.

Crackle!

Wang Yu's Land God Token made cracking noises continuously, and even the golden body of the Token began to show cracks, shaking violently like a helpless small boat in a storm, appearing as if it could be stripped from Wang Yu's possession at any moment.

However, despite the intense shaking of the Land God Token and the oppressive force of the Emperor's Authority and the Magistrate's Authority, it seemed to have grown roots, firmly unable to be stripped from Wang Yu.

"What a pity!"

Xiao Mu inwardly lamented. It seemed indeed to be due to his lower Realm. The level of the Heavenly Emperor's Seal and the Great Decree was not sufficient, and for the time being, it was impossible to strip the divine position from Wang Yu, who was of a higher realm than himself.

"Xiao Mu, I will not let you strip my divine position. Even if I die, you won't be able to strip it from me."

Wang Yu, whose Earth God Rank was continuously being stripped away, had become barely alive, uttering cries of unwillingness, but as he ultimately saw that the rank was not stripped out by Xiao Mu, his tone began to reveal a reluctant satisfaction.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Seeing that he could not strip the Earth God Rank from Wang Yu, Xiao Mu immediately lost his patience, shouted lowly, and with a raise of his right hand, he swung the Eight-Sided Hammer down onto Wang Yu.

Boom! Splatter!

The Eight-Sided Hammer traced a golden light, striking Wang Yu's body like a golden meteor, and his body instantly shattered, splattering blood and flesh everywhere.

Energy +6.

With Wang Yu's death, the divine appearance of the Earth God atop his head burst in an instant, the sacred authority dissipating among Heaven and Earth without leaving a trace.

What a pity!

Xiao Mu once again secretly uttered a pity, the Divine Image would shatter upon the death of the divine spirit, and simultaneously, it also meant the loss of that divine spirit's authority.

Of course, the disappearing authority belongs to one canonized by the Heavenly Emperor, not a natural authority. Natural authority, even if the divine spirit possessing it dies, will not vanish, just like with the Curse Ancestor, after his death, his authority still remains inside his body.

Then, Xiao Mu reached out, and the black light that appeared after Wang Yu's death was captured in his hand.

Holding the black light, Xiao Mu used his Divine Sense to communicate with it.

A moment later, after completing communication, Xiao Mu suddenly fell into deep thought.

Twilight Forest Village again, it's actually Twilight Forest Village again.

Both Wang Yu and Liu Jin, though they carried out the Funeral God's orders to abduct people from the Putuo and Ban Ruo Domains according to the list, didn't know why the Funeral God sent them to do this.

As for the abducted people, afterwards, just like the situation experienced by the Foding Mountain in the Bodhi Domain, they were secretly sent to the Twilight Forest Village in the Jialan Domain.

"Twilight Forest Village again? What is in Twilight Forest Village? It makes sense for the Life and Death Sect to capture sculptors because clearly it's for sculpting a Sculpted Image for the Undying Divine Sovereign. But what is the purpose of searching for the ancient bloodline? Could it still be related to the rebirth of the Undying Divine Sovereign?"

"Heavenly Court, Wang Yu's memory contained the Yin God Lan Yan from the Heavenly Court, could it be the one who used the Escape Art to leave not long ago? Too bad, then, I was only focused on tracking the Spirit Blood Bead, looking for the ancient bloodline people abducted by the Life and Death Sect, without thinking of chasing after him."

Xiao Mu felt somewhat regretful that he hadn't thought of pursuing the Yin God Lan Yan from the Heavenly Court at that time, otherwise, he might have gained even more.

Now, the information obtained from Wang Yu's Divine Soul left him with many mysteries that he couldn't immediately connect the abduction of ancient divine bloodline and the rebirth of the Undying Divine Sovereign.

"Never mind! Since I can't figure it out, it's better not to think about it for the time being. This mission managed to procure two Divine Treasures, one Mountain God Token, along with eleven Energy Points, a very gratifying harvest indeed."

"Nineteen Energy Points, should be enough to mutate the Emperor's Seal, too bad I didn't mutate the Emperor's Seal into success before killing Wang Yu and try stripping the rank again; otherwise, even Wang Yu's rank might have been successfully stripped."

Xiao Mu felt slightly regretful about his oversight, yet quickly dismissed the thought. There would be plenty of time for experiments later, no rush.

"Reporting to the Supreme Lord, most of the Variants in the Mortal Realm from the Life and Death Sect have been killed, leaving only two alive. Additionally, the humans abducted from the Human World have also been found, detained in a dungeon not far from here."

At this moment, the Ghost Servant returned and reported the completion of the task to Xiao Mu.

"Very good."

Xiao Mu nodded in approval, "Release the information, let those from the Putuo Domain and Ban Ruo Domain searching for the Life and Death Sect station know about this place, tell them to come and rescue the people."

"Yes, as per your command, Supreme Lord."

The Ghost Servant bowed deeply in acknowledgment, then suddenly extended his hand. A mallet-shaped divine weapon flew from his hand, bombarding a small hill in the distance again and again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mallet-shaped divine weapon continuously bombarded the little hill, ultimately blasting out countless golden lights, a terrifying energy fluctuation dispersing, as if a golden sun had risen there.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Mu felt that the disturbance created by the Ghost Servant would surely be noticed by the Mutated Beings nearby who were searching for the Life and Death Sect's location; he promptly collected the Ghost Servant, and unfolded his Escape Art toward the direction of the Putuo Domain Domain Master's mansion.
