What set Xiao Mu apart was that his resistance was much stronger than the three others; various powers blocked the Destiny Points and the Mysterious Ancient Wells, temporarily preventing the Power of Retribution from truly descending upon him.

Xiao Mu extended his Divine Sense, linking himself with Zhao Jingyan, Li Gujian, and Zhu Ping through his hair.

The content of their pleas for help indeed didn't surprise him - all related to Heavenly Dao and the power of retribution.

Unlike them, however, the three didn't know how to resist and were facing life-and-death situations.

Xiao Mu transmitted his method of resistance to them, and after expressing their gratitude, they hurriedly implemented the techniques Xiao Mu had shared, finally managing to temporarily suppress the erosion of Heavenly Dao.

Xiao Mu suppressed his Escape Light, moving forward slowly. A Mutated Being from the human world approached from the opposite direction. This Mutated Being seemed desperate and appeared not to have found a way to counteract the powers of Heavenly Dao and retribution as Xiao Mu had.

Xiao Mu opened his Spiritual Eye, intently observing this man in his forties who was a Mutated Being. It looked like the man had only recently broken into the True Realm, his Realm still at the Early Stage of Yin God Realm.

His body displayed a clear map of his Destiny, with each Destiny Point wide open. The power of Heavenly Dao leaked from another world through the Mysterious Ancient Wells, refracting into the real world, affecting the body of this Mutated Being.

Black light, cyan-black light, black-and-white light, and gray-white light - these four formidable glows along with several weaker ones emanated from the Mutated Being's body. Without suppression, the power of Heavenly Dao began to take effect upon him.

In a flustered state, the man used the True Force to try to suppress the various powers of Heavenly Dao, but due to incorrect methods, the power of Heavenly Dao that penetrated became even stronger.

Around his body, atop his head, in front of him, behind him, and beneath his feet, four Heavenly Dao artifacts began to materialize bit by bit, manifesting into reality. They were the Book of Destiny, Retribution Lamp, Life and Death Clock, and Reincarnation Seal, respectively.

Xiao Mu watched in horror; the man was in mortal danger. The manifestation of any one of these four powers into reality, let alone all of them simultaneously, was enough to obliterate his life.

"Dao friend, save me!"

The man spotted Xiao Mu and suddenly rushed toward him.

Thunder rumbled!

Xiao Mu's expression changed as the man's approach unexpectedly triggered the powers of Heavenly Dao within himself, beginning to boil. In each Destiny Point within him, the powers of Heavenly Dao from the depths of the Mysterious Ancient Wells began to intensify.

The approach of this Tribulation Calamity triggered a Tribulation Calamity within Xiao Mu himself.

"Don't come any closer!"

Xiao Mu extended his hand to stop the man and prepared himself, releasing the presence of his Land God above the man's head.

If the man did not heed the warning and continued to approach, he would not hesitate to strike him down with heavy measures.

The man clearly sensed something was wrong. Xiao Mu's defensive stance made him halt, yet he once again uttered a plea of desperation, surprised by Xiao Mu's display of power at the status of Earth God Rank, "Dao friend possesses the Earth God Rank, please help me!"

"Try to channel the True Force into your entire body to suppress the agitation within yourself."

Xiao Mu advised him using language the other could understand, without mentioning anything about the Destiny Point or Mysterious Ancient Wells.

Not everyone could see the specific manifestations of Heavenly Dao's power; Xiao Mu could only perceive them with his Spiritual Eye, and the Mutated Being man before him was blind to them.

"Thank you, Dao friend!"

Upon hearing the advice, the man hastily mobilized the True Force and pressed it down where the agitation was most severe, not pausing to question whether Xiao Mu's advice was genuine.

For the man who had just broken into the True Realm, his susceptibility to Heavenly Dao's influence was much less than Xiao Mu's. As the True Force subdued, the influence of Heavenly Dao gradually weakened.

Xiao Mu saw the Destiny Points and the Mysterious Ancient Wells on the man's body gradually plugged by the man using True Force.

"Thank you, Dao friend!" the man thanked Xiao Mu again. His condition had stabilized, with the influence of Heavenly Dao significantly diminished under the pressure of the True Force.

Xiao Mu nodded solemnly, his gaze sweeping over the man.

This man's situation was akin to Xiao Mu's own; although he had managed to plug all the Destiny Points and the Mysterious Ancient Wells with the True Force, severing the channel connecting to Heavenly Dao's manifested objects, the power of retribution still filtered through. Above his head, the shape of an Illusory Retribution Lamp began to visibly refract.

"This world has changed too much; no one knows when they will encounter an unexpected threat, one might die at any moment."

The man let out a sigh, using it as a chance to make conversation with Xiao Mu, yet he didn't move closer.

Xiao Mu nodded but before he could speak, the Retribution Lamp above the man's head suddenly lit up eerily.

Xiao Mu was startled.

The power of Retribution was set in motion - someone was targeting this man with the Power of Retribution.

Xiao Mu's expression subtly changed, the man's condition was undoubtedly the work of the Retribution Divine Monarch.

And as the power of retribution was stimulated, the power of retribution inside the man boiled, the power's Destiny Point began to emit a blinding gray-black light.

The power of retribution passed through the mysterious ancient well, where the ferocious tiny figures on the well's walls rapidly assembled together.

The illusory Retribution Lamp slowly transformed into substance, descending bit by bit, narrowing the distance to the man.

Above the man's head, pitch-black clouds were converging rapidly, ultimately coalescing into the terrifying blue Tribulation Clouds.

"Dao friend, save me!"

The man sensed the danger and called out to Xiao Mu in terror, begging for help.

Boom!

However, before Xiao Mu could lend a hand, the Tribulation Cloud descended from the sky, and a thunderbolt struck the man.

Pfft!

The man vomited blood from his severe injuries, collapsing to the ground. But the thunderbolt showed no sign of sparing him, striking him again and again, relentless bolts descending from the heavens.

Crack! Boom!

The successive thunderbolts tore his flesh, setting his clothes on fire, and his entire body's skin turned into black char.

Yet the thunder still showed no intention of stopping, continuing to plummet toward the man.

"Dao friend, save me!"

The man struggled fiercely, his cries for help turning into groans, as the increasingly tangible Retribution Lamp locked onto him. The descending thunderbolts and lightning actually originated inside his own body, offering no chance to escape.

A white light suddenly flickered in his hand, and Xiao Mu lightly waved the Creation Axe at the man.

Crack!

The white light of Creation struck the man, the power of Creation enveloped him, immediately forming a layer of Creation's Protective Shield around his body.

Creation temporarily cut off the connection between the man and the retribution, the external thunder temporarily unable to strike the man.

"Many... Many thanks, dao friend, for saving my life!"

The man thanked Xiao Mu with his last breath, unaware of the Creation Power on his body. The distancing thunderbolt let him know he was temporarily away from danger.

"Your situation is rather dire, the power of retribution on you is too dense. Once someone pushes this power from behind, you will face calamity."

Xiao Mu shared his observations with the man, feeling a sense of pity for him.

The Tribulation Calamity on the man wasn't severe, and the power of retribution wasn't yet capable of taking his life. However, if he couldn't enhance his strength, boost his ability to resist retribution, or somehow weaken the power of retribution on him, he would shortly face the ultimate retribution and death.

"Please instruct me, dao friend!"

The man gratefully sought Xiao Mu's help, in a bad state, barely struggling to get up from the ground but collapsing time after time.

"You are gravely injured!"

Xiao Mu said, casting a ball of Life Force onto the man.

"Life Force! Many thanks, dao friend!"

The man's eyes lit up, recognizing this pure white power. As the Life Force entered his body, his injuries healed rapidly.

"Improve your strength as soon as you can, whether it's elevating your Realm or increasing your authority. In any case, you must elevate your strength quickly. Otherwise, the next time the power of retribution is stimulated, you might not be able to withstand it."

Xiao Mu gave gentle advice, the man was in a bad state, and increasing his strength was the only way to save himself.

During their conversation, Xiao Mu swiftly left. The stimulation of the power of retribution was simultaneous, not targeting any one individual.

The power of retribution also descended upon both the man and himself; the difference was, Xiao Mu was much more powerful than the man, using his own power to temporarily suppress the onslaught of retribution.

At this moment, he needed to prepare for the retribution that would descend upon him next.
