"Then let's wait," Yan Qingxu had no objections to Huang Yuan's decision; they had already endured for dozens of minutes, what were three more?

Seeing Huang Yuan tighten the Thunderbolt shield, Yan Qingxu suddenly had an idea and subtly stretched his right hand downward, thumb pressing against his index finger, and gently made a snapping motion.

A streak of blue light flashed between his index and thumb, then shot out and, upon reaching a distance, suddenly transformed into a small blue figure that flew swiftly towards the outer edge of the collapsing space.

"Hm? Puppet Spirit Technique, Old Yan, did you just use the Puppet Spirit Technique?"

Huang Yuan noticed the blue light that flew from Yan Qingxu's fingertips and immediately guessed what method his old friend had used.

"I had no choice but to leave myself a way out."

Yan Qingxu, far from embarrassed by being exposed, said, "I don't even know if Xiao Mu is reliable; if he isn't and can't save us, I certainly don't want to die."

"Using the Puppet Spirit Technique won't save you either."

Huang Yuan spoke bluntly to his old friend, not bothering to sugarcoat his words, "Not to mention that the likelihood of a puppet created through the Puppet Spirit Technique safely leaving the collapsing space is virtually zero. Even if you're lucky and the spirit puppet does manage to escape, the chance of resurrection is extremely low since you haven't cultivated the Life and Death Sect's Immortal Divine Technique nor have you become a True God capable of using the Power of Incense Fire to revive your Divine Sense."

Yan Qingxu felt demeaned, his face sinking slightly as he complained, "Old Huang, why must you speak so bluntly? I'm just leaving myself a sliver of hope. The chance of resurrection may be extremely low, but it's still better than having no hope at all, right?"

"Haha!"

Huang Yuan suddenly laughed, "Then pray that your luck is good enough."

"So much for friendship; watch it, or I might cut ties with you."

Yan Qingxu cursed, feeling helpless towards his old friend.

"Hm?"

Huang Yuan's expression suddenly changed. No longer joking with his old friend, he said solemnly, "Xiao Mu just contacted me, it seems he's back; I'm going to step out."

"That kid actually came back? Maybe he really has a way to help us, Old Huang, hurry!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingxu was overjoyed and urged Huang Yuan to act quickly.

In fact, Huang Yuan didn't need Yan Qingxu's urging; he hadn't even waited for Yan Qingxu to finish speaking before he extended his Divine Sense across space, attaching it to his divine statue within the Great Temple.

"Senior Huang, I'm about to start rescuing you and Director Yan. Please keep in contact with me through Divine Sense to help me locate you."

Inside the Great Temple, Xiao Mu sat cross-legged on the floor in front of Huang Yuan's altar table.

"Young Xiao, whatever you have planned, go ahead and do it."

Huang Yuan, unable to fathom what method Xiao Mu intended to use to rescue them and filled with curiosity, wisely chose not to ask at this moment.

Xiao Mu pointed a finger, and the Emperor's Seal flew out, appearing above his head. Supreme Intention cascaded down, and immediately his body was covered with layers of golden glow.

Because this involved Hongmeng Taoist Lord and the Chaos Heavenly Monarch, two ancient Heavenly God powerhouses, Xiao Mu dared not be careless. After the Emperor's Seal flew out, his body split immediately into two.

One body remained in place while the other retreated and kept retreating until it was out of the temple grounds.

Huang Yuan saw this and was astounded; this was the Changeable Divine Technique, a Divine Technique of the Life and Death Sect. Besides Xiao Mu, there were only a handful of individuals in the Human World who could cultivate it.

Following this, under Huang Yuan's watchful eye, Xiao Mu took out a Mutated Plant.

With the Mutated Plant in hand, Xiao Mu looked up intently at Huang Yuan's divine statue, "Senior Huang, please keep in contact with me through your Divine Sense to assist with my positioning."

"Good!"

Huang Yuan responded, his expression serious, though his heart began to feel tense.

Xiao Mu held the Mutated Plant in his hand, and Huang Yuan could not discern anything unusual about it, momentarily unable to guess what Xiao Mu intended to use this plant for.

Suddenly though, he felt a surge of Divine Sense extending from Xiao Mu, covering and targeting his own divine statue.

Huang Yuan's mind raced, and he promptly used his own Divine Sense to connect and guide Xiao Mu's Divine Sense, directing it to his trapped location in the collapsing space.

"Thank you, senior. You may now release your Divine Sense."

Huang Yuan felt Xiao Mu's transmission through his Divine Sense and hurriedly disconnected their Divine Sense link.

At that moment, Xiao Mu entered the shattered space through his own Divine Sense and could vividly perceive the scene within the spatial fragment where Huang Yuan was located.

He not only saw the gray-black tomb, but also sensed the integrity of the space where the tomb was located.

A terrifying power emanated from the gray-black tomb, the power of death invading every living being nearby.

Despite Xiao Mu having reached the mid-stage of the Divine Spirit realm and possessing the position of City God, the intent of death emanating from the gray-black tomb also affected him, stirring up intense thoughts of death within him.

Moreover, the Chaotic Power emanating from the tomb detected his Divine Sense instantly and oppressed from all directions. The gray-black Chaotic Power unleashed a terrifying force, intending to transform his Divine Sense into chaos.

"Impressive!"

Xiao Mu marveled at the terrifying nature of the Chaotic Power and immediately controlled the mutated plants, breaking through layers of space with their roots, anchoring them deep within the space of the giant tomb.

Next, Xiao Mu mobilized the Supreme Intention, covering the purple-gray air mass on the surface of the mutated plant's roots fiercely.

Hum!

When the Supreme Intention descended, the purple-gray air mass immediately boiled, triggering a rebound of the Hongmeng Power.

"Heavenly Emperor!"

That extremely majestic, boundless voice burst forth from the purple-gray air mass, birthing a brand-new world which rapidly took shape.

At the very center of this brand-new world, the Hongmeng Taoist, who appeared as a youth, suddenly shifted his gaze in this direction.

Initially, he noticed Xiao Mu, but as his gaze shifted, his attention immediately moved from Xiao Mu to the location of the tomb in space.

"Chaos!"

Seeing the tomb, the usually unflappable expression of the Hongmeng Taoist also fluctuated, a hint of surprise appearing on his face, growing stronger.

Two purple lights shone through the newly born world. This Ancient Heavenly God situated at the center of this new world, his eyes fixed intently on the gray-black tomb, his face full of shock and disbelief, "You actually really died!"

With those words, he suddenly acted from within the new world. A hand enveloped in purple rosy clouds stretched from the new world directly into the space where the gray-black tomb was.

That hand was gigantic, as if it could cover the heavens. Upon its arrival, it seemed to obscure the sky.

The power of rules coiled around this hand, endless authority flaring and fading, divine textures appearing on the surface of the hand, continuously weaving and transforming to create various kinds of orders.

At this moment, whether it was Xiao Mu, Huang Yuan, or Yan Qingxu, all were stunned by this heaven-supporting giant hand extending from the new world. The boundless oppressive force emitted by the giant hand, hinting at the unruly authority from the dawn of time when Heaven and Earth were unopened, rendered the three in extreme terror, instigating thoughts of complete non-resistance.

Boom!

The hand of the Hongmeng Taoist directly covered the tomb. The Chaotic Power gathered above the tomb sensed the immense threat and began surging wildly, congregating together.

The gray-black phantom tendrils entwined around Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu retracted instantly, all Chaotic Power gathering above the gray-black tomb.

"Senior Huang, team leader Yan, quickly escape!"

Protected by the Supreme Intention of the Heavenly Emperor's authority, Xiao Mu maintained his clarity of mind, not completely affected by the prestige of the Hongmeng Taoist, seizing the opportunity to warn Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu.

"Run!"

Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu snapped back to their senses, both shivering and without hesitation deployed the Five Escapes Combined Technique, fleeing recklessly towards the outer space.

"Boom!"

A colossal explosion echoed from behind, the giant hand of the Hongmeng Taoist and the Chaotic Power gathered above the tomb colliding with a world-splitting terror. With just one strike, the entire space completely shattered.

"Shatter!"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Mu immediately destroyed the mutated plants.

Under the suppression of the Heavenly Emperor's authority, the mutated plants shattered on the spot, turning to dust.

As the mutated plants shattered, the new world born amidst the Hongmeng Purple Qi at their roots also vanished, and the hand of the Hongmeng Taoist extending from the new world likewise disappeared.
