"Squeak!"

The grey grub had spotted Huang Yuan and suddenly opened its mouth, emitting a sharp, thin, piercing shriek.

The monster's mouth was small and looked like a round hole; as soon as it opened, one could see thousands of porcelain-white teeth, thin and long, densely packed, almost filling the entire space of its mouth.

Huang Yuan's head throbbed in pain, followed by darkness in his eyes and his legs going weak, almost sending him tumbling to the ground.

The sound that the grey grub made was a direct assault on a person's Divine Soul.

Hum!

Above Huang Yuan's head, the Thunder God Avatar stirred from the grey grub's strange noise and automatically leaped out of Huang Yuan's body.

Clang clang!

The Thunder God Avatar, buffeted by an invisible fierce impact, wobbled unstably above Huang Yuan's head, seemingly on the verge of falling from his body at any moment.

"Not good!"

Huang Yuan immediately realized the danger and, without a second thought, employed the Five Elements Escaping Technique and flew backward.

Boom!

An intense sonic explosion suddenly occurred, and a severe white light burst forth in front of him; then, in the midst of the 'squeak' of the screeching sound, a shadow flashed and the grey grub charged straight toward Huang Yuan.

In the midst of the 'squeak' of its screech, the grub's round mouth, located below its two strange yellow eyes and filled with countless white porcelain-like fangs, suddenly opened wide, attempting to swallow Huang Yuan in one gulp.

Huang Yuan didn't think twice; he leapt up, and with a crackle, a ball of lightning protected him as he flew into the air. The Silver Light flickered, and the Silver Mace slashed down from above, aimed directly at the grey grub's head.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Divine Silver Mace pounded down on the grey grub's hard shell one blow after another, yet it produced only puffs of grey smoke.

With a dull 'thump,' when the grey smoke encountered the Divine Silver Mace, it unexpectedly coiled back, enveloping the mace.

A sizzling sound issued forth as the Silver Mace was eroded by the grey smoke, gradually dissolving into ash.

"Chaos Power!"

Huang Yuan's face drastically changed.

The terror of the Chaos Power contaminating the grey grub's surface exceeded Huang Yuan's imagination. Even the Divine Treasure was being corroded upon contact.

Without a second thought, Huang Yuan directly channeled a yellow glow from his arm and infused it into the Silver Mace.

Sacred Power immediately spread throughout the Silver Mace, and after consuming a significant amount of Sacred Power, the grey smoke was finally neutralized.

"What a terrifying force!"

The power of the grey smoke filled Huang Yuan with dread. The strength of the Chaos Power was beyond imagination; even though it was not complete and merely a small part covering the grey grub's exterior, it had depleted a great amount of his Sacred Power.

"Squeak!"

The sharp cry of the grey grub sounded again, ready to attack Huang Yuan at any moment.

Huang Yuan opted to retreat immediately, utilizing the Five Elements Escaping Technique to flee toward the back left with the grey grub in hot pursuit.

After consuming energy fruit after energy fruit, three months later, Xiao Mu's strength finally broke through once more, advancing from the Early Divine Spirit Realm to the Mid Divine Spirit Realm.

This meant he had further enhanced his Divine Spirits' authority, and using the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor would grant him greater Power.

After sensing the change in his strength, a smile appeared on Xiao Mu's face. Compared to the Early Divine Spirit Realm, his strength had increased by at least thirty percent.

"Next, I need to find a way to upgrade the Great Decree. I currently have six Energy Points, and with just four more, I can enhance the Great Decree."

"Four Energy Points, killing a Divine Spirit in the Early Stage would suffice."

"Moreover, I need to keep searching for the whereabouts of the Lord of Bai's Mansion, or at least find the other half of the Yama Command."

"As I advance in Realm, and enter the True God Realm, I will need the other half of the Yama Command to secure my position as a True God."

"The plan to find the Lord of Bai's Mansion cannot stop. Moreover, significant figures from the Heavenly Court might enter the human world at any time, and the human world must have experts like the Lord of Bai's Mansion to hold the fort."

"Transitioning into the Late Divine Spirit Realm isn't urgent. I can slowly acquire Fruits or win Merit for the Alliance and use those merits to exchange."

Xiao Mu's thoughts drifted, then quickly returned to the Three Emperors' Tomb and Huang Yuan, "I wonder how Lv Liangping, the great leader, is doing with the search for clues to the Five Elements Ruins. Has Senior Huang, who entered the shattered space, sent back any news?"

Thinking of Lv Liangping and Huang Yuan, Xiao Mu immediately started checking messages.

First up was news from Huang Yuan. Before departing, Huang Yuan had given Xiao Mu a green sensing talisman and indicated that he would contact him through it if he encountered any difficulties.

After receiving the green sensing talisman, concerned that he might miss a message, Xiao Mu had especially hung it on his waist.

Now recalling this matter, he immediately looked down at the green sensing talisman on his waist and picked it up.

At one glance, Xiao Mu's heart immediately tensed up.

The green sensing talisman flickered continuously with Green Light, and by the look of it, it seemed to have been doing so for quite some time. Knowing Huang Yuan's character, he wouldn't readily seek help unless he faced extreme danger.

"I hope Senior Huang is safe and sound."

Anxiety, blended with tension, crept into Xiao Mu's heart, thinking of Huang Yuan's temperament, he was certain that Huang Yuan was likely angry by now.

But this couldn't be blamed on Xiao Mu, as he was in retreat and it was indeed inconvenient to communicate, not to mention that he had specifically informed Huang Yuan before commencing his retreat.

After putting away the green talisman, he immediately stood up and walked out of his residence toward Huang Yuan's temple.

Along the way, deploying the Five Elements Shield Technique, Xiao Mu used the Five-in-One Escape Technique and rushed towards Huang Yuan's temple.

In just a minute or two, Xiao Mu arrived at the Great Temple, entered, and approached Huang Yuan's Divine Avatar.
