The Mutated Being's Yin Spirit, just killed, felt extreme terror at the sudden appearance of a spatial channel. He was already dead, left with only his Yin Spirit and incapable of resisting the Power of Reincarnation, he was pulled bit by bit to enter beyond the heavens.

Struggling with all its might, the Yin Spirit of the Mutated Being did not want to enter the beyond.

However, the Power of Reincarnation was too strong. It enveloped him from head to toe like a cocoon, leaving him no room to resist.

Whoosh!

Xiao Mu suddenly made a move. The True Force transformed into a giant power hand, reaching for the Yin Spirit of the Mutated Being.

Golden Light converged, Chaos-like Power gathered, and the giant hand formed by Xiao Mu's True Force grasped the Yin Spirit of the Mutated Being firmly.

Xiao Mu withdrew his giant hand, attempting to pull the Mutated Being's Yin Spirit back to the human world.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Power of Reincarnation burst forth, various black lights, Yin lights, death lights, and ghostly lights dazzling within the channel, swiftly engulfing Xiao Mu's power giant hand.

"Save me~"

The Yin Spirit of the Mutated Being let out a miserable cry, reluctantly dragged to the beyond amid extreme unwillingness.

Rumble! Crack!

The Power of Retribution clearly noticed Xiao Mu's presence. A thunderbolt appeared in the sky and struck directly at Xiao Mu.

"No good!"

Xiao Mu inwardly exclaimed, instantly transforming and escaping underground, burrowing deep into the earth. His speed was extremely fast, and paired with the Earth Escape Technique, he could move through the mud at a speed comparable to traveling on the surface using escape techniques.

Crack! Rumble!

The Power of Retribution relentlessly pursued Xiao Mu. It was the force of the rules, the power of the Heavenly Dao, completely unaffected by physical matter, it chased after Xiao Mu through the ground.

The spreading speed of this power was faster than Xiao Mu's escape speed. A lightning bolt, a thunderbolt, caught up with Xiao Mu in the blink of an eye, striking him.

Xiao Mu's body fluttered like a leaf. The Changeable Divine Technique turned into the wind to evade; his body suddenly became nothingness, and the thunderbolt and thunder passed through him.

As if perceiving something, the Power of Retribution intensified after the thunderbolt and thunder missed. Green Light gathered behind Xiao Mu, condensing into a small ball.

A slowly brightening eight-sided palace lantern appeared, emitting ten green rays in all eight directions and up and down. The eight-sided palace lantern slowly rotated, all ten green rays searching for Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu was startled. Within the green light, he could sense the presence of the Power of Retribution, and without a doubt, this Illusory eight-sided palace lantern was the supreme Treasure, the Retribution Lamp.

Hidden within the green light was the might of Retribution. Each of the ten rays represented different retributions, including past, present, future, unknown, calamity, blessing, disaster, catastrophe, luck, and fate.

The Retribution Lamp rotated, and the ten rays of green light swept towards Xiao Mu.

Snap!

Xiao Mu was locked by a brilliance, this was the retribution for the past.

A sliver of the Power of Retribution came from the past, instantly spreading throughout Xiao Mu's entire body.

"Emperor's Seal, come forth!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Mu released the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor. It appeared above his head, casting down the supreme Purple Light.

"My past is flawless; I will not suffer any retribution!"

Under the supreme authority of the Heavenly Emperor Seal's protection, the Retribution Lamp failed to make Xiao Mu suffer retribution through the past.

As the lamp rotated, the rays of light representing future and unknown turned to the front, extending towards Xiao Mu like tentacles.

"Future? Unknown?"

Xiao Mu's face darkened. The future hadn't happened yet, and even he was unclear about the unknown; how could he dare let these two rays touch him?

Although he knew that, at his level, even if locked by the rays of future and unknown, the Power of Retribution using unknown and future to retribute him might not be able to kill him.

But once locked by these two kinds of forces, his future would never be free from this terrifying Power of Retribution.

"Transform!"

With a low shout, Xiao Mu transformed again. A gust of wind blew, and his figure vanished from its original spot, becoming a wind that rushed away.

The Five-in-One Escape, five rays of Escape Light formed beneath this wind, supporting Xiao Mu's body as it rapidly swept away.

Huff!

The speed of the Illusory Retribution Lamp was even faster, chasing after Xiao Mu with the rotation carrying ten retributive forces. These ten forces, in a blink of an eye, locked down all directions, top, bottom, left, right, encasing Xiao Mu in the middle.

Crack!

The ten rays of light struck simultaneously, hitting Xiao Mu.

Pft!

Xiao Mu's body suddenly turned into a ball of fire, burning on the spot, before finally dissipating into black smoke and vanishing.

"Terrifying, truly horrifying!"

In the opposite direction, Xiao Mu's figure reappeared, and his brief contact with the power of retribution let him feel the terror of this force.

Just now, had he not simultaneously used the Hidden Life Technique, "One Hundred Variations Divine Power," and "Supreme Will of the Heavenly Emperor Seal," he would likely have been unable to escape the pursuit of the Retribution Lamp.

And now, although he had safely escaped, Xiao Mu's heart still palpitated with lingering fear.

Just now, had he not escaped quickly enough, he would probably have already been locked onto by the power of retribution.

Should the power of retribution lock onto him, he may temporarily not die, but he would always be under the watchful lock of the power of retribution, constantly monitored for retribution.

And under deliberate targeting, the power of retribution would inevitably rapidly accumulate on him, and once it built up to the point of an eruption, it would explode completely and take his life.

"The power of retribution is truly formidable, no, the authority of the Heavenly God is truly immense!"

"I wonder how the others in Twilight Forest Village are faring, if I'm like this, what about the others?"

Contact with the power of retribution weighed heavily on Xiao Mu's mood, the conditions of the others might be even worse than his.

He emerged from the ground and kept walking towards the center of Twilight Forest Village.

By this time, the power of retribution had passed over this part of the surface and moved deeper into Twilight Forest Village, leaving behind a swath of dead silence.

Many people had died, met with retribution, and from time to time, one could hear the sound of weeping.

"Wu wu, wah~"

The tragic cries of a woman drew Xiao Mu's attention, and he couldn't help moving forward, only to see a forty-something-year-old woman lying on top of a corpse in agony, perhaps too heartbroken, or possibly from just having been struck by the power of retribution, she was coughing up blood, and streaks of blood lined the corners of her eyes.

The corpse was very young, appearing to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, a teenage boy. Death had come too quickly, and he had passed peacefully; there was no sign of suffering on his face.

Without a doubt, both the woman and the young boy were ordinary people, for although Mutated Beings still had the power to struggle under retribution, ordinary people did not.

"Such a pity!"

From inside a dilapidated house nearby, a slovenly elder who looked like a vagrant crawled out from a tunnel and sighed as he watched the crying woman.

"Old man, do you know what happened?"

Xiao Mu stopped to ask the untidy elder.

The untidy elder glanced at Xiao Mu, "Young man, you're a Mutated Being, aren't you?"

Without waiting for Xiao Mu to ask, the untidy elder pointed at the crying woman, "She's a pitiful person, had a terminal illness, and barely found a cure. Just last week, her husband was struck dead by lightning."

"Her husband was supposed to be buried today, but just after they buried him and came back, her son was also struck dead by lightning."

"Alas! The heavens really are blind!"

The untidy elder shook his head, uttered a sentence, and immediately felt fear, then quickly retreated back into the tunnel and drew a cover over the entrance.

The tunnel cannot protect you; when the power of retribution is due to fall, it will fall!

Xiao Mu looked at the entrance cover of the tunnel, wanting to say something, but his words turned to a sigh.

For these ordinary people, what better refuge was there besides digging a tunnel to hide?

He looked towards the weeping woman and the corpse of the young boy on the ground.

A shadow appeared on the corpse, and following that, the Yin Soul of the young boy emerged from the body.

The Yin Soul of the young boy didn't even realize he was dead; upon appearing, it lingered around his mother.

He reached out to grasp his mother's arm, trying to stop her from crying, but his hand passed right through her.

"Ah~"

The young boy looked at his own hand in terror and confusion.

Wu wu!

The heartless Yin wind appeared, and a bitterly cold, pitch-black hole emerged beneath the boy's feet. From the hole emanated a powerful suction force, attempting to pull the young boy into a world beyond the sky.

"No, Mother! Mum!"

The boy cried in despair, reaching out to hold onto the woman, unwilling to be pulled into the world beyond.

Yet he, a mere phantom, was unable to grasp onto anything.

Xiao Mu's face showed a pained expression as he looked at the boy and suddenly thought of something, extending his hand to point at the boy, "Order!"

Golden Light spilled out from his body, and the authority of the Land God was released through his fingertip, striking the young boy like an arrow.

The suction force from the hole beneath immediately ceased, as the authority of the Land God thwarted another world's tug at the boy's Yin Soul.
