"There has been a death, and not just one, but a massive number of deaths."

Xiao Mu looked in the direction where the Punishment Thunder was sounding, "The Zhang Family is over there, luckily today I initiated the Tribulation Calamity for Chen Aijiao in advance, otherwise if this kind of Punishment Thunder triggered the Tribulation, Chen Aijiao would definitely have no chance of survival."

"The Punishment Thunder is coming this way, who is it? Is there really a Thunder God causing the Punishment Thunder?"

The Punishment Thunder suddenly turned, heading directly towards Xiao Mu's location at a speed that was not particularly fast but completely unhindered, inching closer bit by bit.

In the booming sounds of thunder, more people died, their death's Black Gas shooting up into the sky.

"Which Thunder God? It can't be the Human World's Thunder God, the Thunder God from the Human World wouldn't act wildly in Twilight Forest Village, and definitely couldn't impose Tribulation Calamities on ordinary individuals one by one."

"If it's not the Human World's Thunder God, then it must be from the Heavenly Court. Should I go check it out?"

Xiao Mu suddenly felt a strong urge to head towards the direction of the Punishment Thunder to see for himself.

Taking down a Thunder God from the Heavenly Court would be a great achievement for him. With his current strength, unless he faced a Thunder God with complete authority, ordinary Thunder Gods really were no match for him, unless this Thunder God had stepped into the True God Realm.

"Should I go? Ordinary Thunder Gods are no match for me, but if it happened to be a Thunder God with complete authority..."

Xiao Mu hesitated, unsure whether he should head there.

"Ah~"

The screams of those about to die erupted, following the sound of the Punishment Thunder; it was not just one person screaming, but one after another.

Many people had died, and the Calamity Qi in the air became even denser.

Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Amidst the sounds of Punishment Thunder, Escape Light suddenly lit up from that direction, and three Mutated Beings fled towards Xiao Mu.

"Human world's Mutated Beings, no, yes, they are from the Human world, but they are people from Twilight Forest Village, the inspection team members I met today."

Xiao Mu recognized the three Mutated Beings; they were the inspection team members he had seen early in the day, the two men and one woman.

"Are they escaping? Is the Thunder God chasing them?"

The three members of the inspection team were fleeing and appeared extremely flustered.

Boom!

The Thunder directly pursued them, its speed seemingly not very fast, yet the distance between it and the three members of the inspection team was rapidly closing.

"Is that Thunder God... chasing them?"

Xiao Mu realized what was happening. The inspection team members were being chased, and undoubtedly, it was a Thunder God chasing them.

"Should I help?"

"They don't have much Tribulation Calamity on them; they shouldn't be undergoing a Tribulation."

Through Xiao Mu's Spiritual Eye, he saw that the three individuals rushing towards him didn't have a heavy aura of Black Gas above their heads; it was certainly not the time for them to undergo a Tribulation. Xiao Mu felt that they shouldn't die.

Xiao Mu himself could mimic the Thunder God Position and wield Punishment Thunder, but, given the situation where the three shouldn't be undergoing a Tribulation, he wouldn't likely trigger the Punishment Thunder for the three to undergo a Tribulation.

Of course, with his power, he could easily kill the three members of the inspection team, but killing them was different from making them undergo a Tribulation.

Undergoing a Tribulation is about communicating with the Heavenly Tribulation, achieving Perfection, and bringing down Punishment to eradicate those who are to undergo the Tribulation; it's purely about the utilization of authority, unrelated to personal strength.

"Shush!"

The lead inspection team member suddenly let out a piercing screech, and at the same moment, a voice powered by the True Force came from his mouth, spreading far and wide, covering the entire Twilight Forest Village, "Extra-worldly powerful enemy invasion, everyone prepare to resist. Extra-worldly powerful enemy invasion, everyone prepare to resist."

Boom!

In the sky, a terrifying sound of thunder emerged, to the ears it felt as though a densely thick Black Cloud was covering one's eyes.

Crack!

The sound of Thunderbolts erupted one after another; every Thunderbolt struck right above the heads of the three inspection team members.

Black light surged above the three's heads, and death's Black Gas emerged from their bodies, a terrifying shadow enveloping the small area where the three stood. A snapping sound echoed three times, and the bodies of the three, in their rush forward, fell to the ground ahead.

This left Xiao Mu, who had been planning to intervene and save them, stunned.

The power of the Calamity Qi was beyond his comprehension, and the authority of the Thunder God in the sky was far beyond his imagination.

"It's not the Thunder God, the Thunder God isn't this powerful, this is... this is the Divine Monarch Guobao! Damn!"

Xiao Mu couldn't help but curse aloud.

The three from the surveillance team that pursued him were not from the Thunder God but from the Divine Monarch Guobao, a retribution deity even more powerful than the Thunder God.

And he had just received information from the temple area that Divine Monarch Guobao was coming to Twilight Forest Village, and he immediately encountered this true god in Twilight Forest Village.

In the sky, a cluster of grey clouds slowly flew toward this side, seemingly unaware of Xiao Mu's presence, yet it was headed straight in Xiao Mu's direction.

No doubt, Divine Monarch Guobao had discovered Xiao Mu, but he didn't care who Xiao Mu was or even have the interest to find out, intending to use the same method he had used on the surveillance team to provoke Xiao Mu's own Calamity Qi and kill him in one strike.

Amidst the cursing, Xiao Mu's body suddenly twisted, using "One Hundred Variations Divine Power" on the spot, and a strand of hair appeared in his hand, transforming into his likeness, while his actual body merged into the earth the moment the doppelgänger appeared.

Like employing the Earth Travel Technique, Xiao Mu's body kept sinking, fleeing deep into the earth, using the earth's power to protect himself.

Boom!

Divine Monarch Guobao arrived above Xiao Mu's head on a cloud, Calamity Qi was triggered, and the doppelgänger formed from Xiao Mu's hair immediately met its demise, dying instantly.

But there was no counting on the tribulations, Divine Monarch Guobao's attack was indiscriminate, causing tribulation everywhere it went.

A bolt of tribulation thunder chased Xiao Mu into the depths, fast as lightning, transforming into black light in the blink of an eye, like a sword of death, effortlessly piercing the earth, aiming for Xiao Mu's head.

"Transform!"

Xiao Mu's body suddenly transformed, turning into a gust of wind.

But the force of the tribulation thunder could not be blocked by a gust of wind, and the wind that Xiao Mu had turned into began to shatter, as if his own body was breaking apart.

"Emperor's Seal, emerge! Protect!"

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor appeared amidst the wind, faintly visible, spreading the rich Emperor's Might far and wide, as if scattering a cloud of golden glow in the wind, every air particle releasing golden light, dazzling beyond comparison.

Woo woo!

The Calamity Qi quickly weakened, the Emperor's Might of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor helped Xiao Mu block part of the Calamity Qi, and the "One Hundred Variations Divine Power" also helped him cope with some of it.

Pff!

Even so, Xiao Mu still spat out blood, the remaining force made him suffer, causing him serious injuries.

He hurriedly struck a bundle of Life Force onto himself, slowly recovering from the injuries.

Xiao Mu was incredibly relieved.

Fortunately, Divine Monarch Guobao didn't specifically target him, he hadn't even noticed his whereabouts, otherwise, he would absolutely not have survived.

"True Gods are indeed true gods, not something the current me can cope with. Divine Monarch Guobao is so arrogant, does he intend to annihilate Twilight Forest Village? When will Senior Zhou Xuanmen arrive?"

Xiao Mu thought of Zhou Xuanmen, hoping he would arrive sooner, otherwise leaving Divine Monarch Guobao to wreak havoc, Twilight Forest Village might no longer exist within half an hour.

Woo woo woo!

Outside, a sudden sound of crying came, mixed with curses, sounding extremely uncomfortable to hear, merely hearing it gave one the urge to die.

"Senior Zhou Xuanmen has arrived, this is his curse authority!"

The sudden emergence of the curse force surprised Xiao Mu, knowing that Zhou Xuanmen had arrived.

Zhou Xuanmen's arrival in Twilight Forest Village gave him a strong sense of security, making him unable to help but break through the soil, emerging from underground.

The power of the "One Hundred Variations Divine Power" was extremely strong, Xiao Mu's body continuously merged with the soil, transitioning between the soil, and using the Earth Escape Technique, he emerged from the ground hundreds of miles underground in the blink of an eye.

But now, the thunder had stopped, and the sound of the curse had disappeared too.

In the distance, above the Cloud Mist, a grey figure was chasing a blue figure.

The blue figure was extremely fast, seemingly having no intention to fight, continuously cloud-riding toward the southwest direction, disappearing into the horizon after a short while.

The grey figure stopped the chase, cloud-riding in the opposite direction, seemingly knowing the location of Xiao Mu, continually fleeing toward the vicinity of Xiao Mu's hiding place.

The grey clouds stopped not far away, a handsome, highly charismatic dashing middle-aged man descended from the clouds, looking around before speaking, "Xiao Mu, I am Zhou Xuanmen, I know you are nearby, I have something to ask of you, please come out and meet me!"
