The young man, enveloped in purple clouds, with black hair cascading past his shoulders, suddenly looked in Xiao Mu's direction.

From his eyes shot two infinitely long beams of purple light, carrying boundless power, sweeping towards Xiao Mu's body like two giant brooms.

A scent of death spread as the dark, blood-scented gates of the Underworld abruptly opened behind Xiao Mu.

The sun and the moon shifted positions, and the constellations altered their shapes, all to make way for those two purple beams.

The Chaos Grub bore the brunt of this all, a new world appeared within its body, and Hongmeng Daozun appeared within it as did the sun, moon, stars, mountains, the Earth, and rivers.

The body of the Mutated Maggots directly collapsed without any struggle at all – the entire body suddenly burst into pieces due to the boundless mighty power that had emerged within it.

"Chaos!"

The handsome youth noticed the Chaos Power covering the surface of the Chaos Grub but did not show much surprise. His focus remained entirely on Xiao Mu, and although his mouth did not move, an imperious voice emanated from him, "Heavenly Emperor, you actually didn't die!"

Heavenly Emperor?

Xiao Mu didn't even think before he immediately severed the connection with that supreme thought and then destroyed the Mutated Plants. This was already the second time Hongmeng Daozun mistook him for the Heavenly Emperor.

Phut!

The result was that the purple Qi still emitted from Hongmeng Daozun's eyes pursued him, passing through space and directly struck Xiao Mu's decoy, which vanished like a soap bubble.

Impressive!

Xiao Mu, watching the spot where his decoy had vanished, felt a lingering fear.

Ancient Heavenly Gods indeed proved why they are revered as such, for even though he had quickly severed the connection with the supreme thought, the Hongmeng Purple Qi released by Hongmeng Daozun still followed and destroyed his decoy.

He had been too careless; the power of Ancient Heavenly Gods was stronger than he had imagined. In the future, he must avoid such fatal behaviors as much as possible.

"Fortunately, the Chaos Grub successfully used the Hongmeng Power to eliminate itself."

Straight after, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel relieved that he had successfully eliminated the Chaos Grub, which meant he didn't need to seek help from Emperor Miaoyi.

After calming down, Xiao Mu began to consider his next target plan.

First of all, of course, he wanted to find a way to obtain Energy Points and enhance the Great Decree, but obtaining Energy Points required killing extraterrestrial Mutated Beings, which meant he needed to master the movements of the Life and Death Sect.

"I wonder how the exploration of Twilight Forest Village assigned by the main leader is going, whether any new discoveries have been made. If we can grasp the movements within Twilight Forest Village of the Life and Death Sect, at least for a while, I won't need to worry about Energy Points anymore."

"Besides, I promised to find ways to enhance Senior Huang's strength, so I should start looking for Treasures."

"There aren't many ways to enhance strength in the True God Realm, other than the Secret Manuals of the True God Realm, it only leaves the option of obtaining the Divine Spirits' Treasures."

"Divine Treasures, perhaps can also be acquired from extraterrestrial Mutated Beings, but with my current strength, I probably cannot take the treasures from the bodies of Divine Spirits. After all, most Divine Spirits, apart from those true Divine Spirits from the Heavenly Court, are in the True God Realm, a Realm much higher than mine."

"If I cannot get the Divine Treasure from the extraterrestrial Mutated Beings, then the only option left is to obtain it from the Ruins where Ancient Divine Spirits hid their Treasures."

"I don't know how the search for the Ancient War Ruins by Great Leader Lv in the Three Emperors' Tomb is going, whether he has found any new Ruins."

"New Ruins could potentially hold new Divine Treasures."

"Young Sister Yang Yu told me that Yang Jun has received a new inheritance related to the Array, dealing with the Treasure Concealing Formation and the Sealing Formation, which looks very helpful for my search for Ruins and Treasures. I must visit him soon."

After listing his plans, Xiao Mu went to rest.

In the Floating Hills between the Hua Emperor Domain and the Court Emperor Domain, Lv Liangping stood on a cluster of White Clouds, looking down at the Floating Hills.

The Floating Hills, which emerged after the World Mutation, are a series of connected mountains. Although not very high, with the tallest peak only about three or four thousand meters, the mountains stretch over a vast area, covering at least several hundred thousand square kilometers.

"According to records, there is an Ancient War Ruin beneath this Floating Peak. I'll directly move this mountain peak aside to see what's underneath."

Talking to himself, Lv Liangping controlled Bai Yun to descend directly, and within moments, he landed at the foot of Floating Hills.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, Floating Hills seemed truly a divine mountain and sacred place. Clusters of white clouds floated at mid-mountain, concealing the peak in a shroud of mist, giving it an ethereal, celestial appearance.

Hum!

Divine power vibrated around him, and a large amount of gray-black Calamity Qi suddenly surrounded Lv Liangping's body. Under this cloak of Calamity Qi, a disaster star deity appeared above Lv Liangping's head.

"Rise!"

Lv Liangping pointed at Floating Hills, and the disaster star deity above his head stretched out its arms, embracing the mountain remotely. Then, with a forceful upward lift of its hands, crackling sounds of breaking echoed, and Floating Hills shook violently, as if a great tree had been uprooted from the earth.

"The demigod system, after all, lacks somewhat, not like the True God system. If it were the Mountain God, I could use my inherent authority to lift the mountain directly. Though I am a Divine Spirit, lacking the necessary authority makes moving mountains much more difficult."

Lv Liangping murmured softly to himself, using his divine form to support Floating Hills and set it aside into the valley next door. With a thunderous roar, the earth in the vicinity trembled for hundreds of miles, as if a terrifying earthquake had occurred.

Lv Liangping flew back, spreading his hands and casting a series of handseals.

Boom! Boom!

Lv Liangping opened his hands, the earth trembled, and suddenly a pitch-black Space Gate appeared on the ground.

"Senior Huang, come quickly, is this the Chaos Grub you told me to be extremely cautious of?"

Amidst the shattered space, Yan Qingxu gazed at the Chaos Grub's corpse, now split into thousands of pieces, and turned back uncertainly, shouting loudly to Huang Yuan standing to his left rear.

"The Chaos Grub is dead!"

Huang Yuan emerged from an Escape Art through a space prism, standing shoulder to shoulder with Yan Qingxu, incredulous as he stared at the Chaos Grub's corpse, "Who... who killed the Chaos Grub?"

"Senior Huang, did you notice?"

Yan Qingxu's gaze tightened as he stared at the corpse of the Chaos Grub, "It was completely a slaughter; there was no resistance at all."

Huang Yuan nodded awkwardly, "The strength of the Chaos Grub, even if not on par with half a True God, is much greater than ours, especially the covering of Chaos Power on its body surface, practically sufficient to protect it from any harm. Who, who could kill it so effortlessly?"

As he spoke, he nervously scanned their surroundings. Fortunately, there were no other living creatures nearby.

"Whoever could slaughter the Chaos Grub so effortlessly is probably a being beyond True Gods. Xiao Mu mentioned he would handle the Chaos Grub and told us not to worry; could it be his doing?" Yan Qingxu's eyes flickered uncertainly.

"How could Xiao Mu have such powerful strength? Old Yan, don't speculate wildly."

Huang Yuan was startled by Yan Qingxu's speculation and quickly denied it.

"If not Xiao Mu, then who could it be?" Yan Qingxu's eyelids twitched fiercely as he stared at Huang Yuan.

"That kid Xiao Mu, to tell you the truth, has always been mysterious. The speed of his strength increase is so fast, and he can easily find Divine Weapons and Divine Treasures..."

Huang Yuan speculated thoughtfully, "I've always suspected that behind him, there might stand a Heavenly God powerhouse."

"Heavenly God, a powerhouse? Heavenly Emperor Miaoyi?"

Yan Qingxu suddenly recalled something, "Remember the complete set of Netherlord artifacts and the Netherlord position business from Wu Yan, all were commissioned to Xiao Mu by Heavenly Emperor Miaoyi to bring back, maybe Xiao Mu has been maintaining contact with this Emperor."

"It's not Miaoyi Heavenly Emperor."

Huang Yuan denied Yan Qingxu's speculation, "Miaoyi Heavenly Emperor is already dead, only remnants remain, perhaps even weaker than a True God."

"The strength of the person who killed the Chaos Grub is truly terrifying. Look at the state of the Chaos Grub's corpse; the one who acted was probably a Heavenly God powerhouse."

"A Heavenly God? So you're suggesting... Xiao Mu has not just one Heavenly God behind him?" Yan Qingxu swayed, nearly falling over.

While others struggle to even know one True God, Xiao Mu already knows more than one Heavenly God.
