Crack! Boom!

Xiao Mu had barely escaped a short distance when the power of retribution descended upon him.

Dark clouds of retribution gathered above his head. Deep within the Destiny Point, the Retribution Lamp suddenly burst forth with brilliance, and within the Mysterious Ancient Well, the strength of the sinister little figures refracted by the power of retribution intensified, suddenly accelerating their consumption of the well's walls.

The energy Xiao Mu had gathered in the Mysterious Ancient Well was devoured in the blink of an eye. The power of retribution completely projected through the Destiny Point, and above his head, the once illusory Retribution Lamp became real.

The sound of thunderbolts echoed from the sky, and thunder erupted directly within Xiao Mu's body.

His body was injured, flesh flying in all directions; the sudden descent of retribution left him with no chance to evade.

Boom! Crack!

The sound of thunder and lightning continued to resonate from within Xiao Mu's body. In the blink of an eye, he was wounded all over, muscles split open, revealing charred bones beneath, his whole body bleeding.

"Change!"

Xiao Mu's body shifted with the wind. The Changeable Divine Technique was deployed, and his injuries quickly healed, transforming him from a blood-soaked figure back to his normal appearance.

However, the use of the Changeable Divine Technique consumed a great amount of his energy, feeling as though at least a tenth of his power had been drained.

The thunder did not disappear; the power of retribution persisted, and another series of thunderbolts descended from the sky.

The sky turned dark green, and within Xiao Mu's body, thunderbolts kept exploding, flesh flying amidst the scent of charred skin.

Xiao Mu reached back and pressed on his body, his palm emitting a white brilliance upon his chest. The Life Force began to mend his body, his wounds visibly healing at an astonishing rate.

The clouds in the sky grew denser, the Retribution Lamp spun in another world, ten types of brilliance from the past, present, future, and unknown shone out from the Mysterious Ancient Well, passing through Xiao Mu's body and striking the now tangible Retribution Lamp above him.

The Retribution Lamp above Xiao Mu's head spun, continuously striking him with various powers of retribution. Past, present, future, unknown...

Crack!

Xiao Mu's body kept getting damaged, but he also continuously deployed various means to recover.

He did not attempt to use the Creation Axe to sever his connection with retribution, nor did he use force with the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor to suppress the influence of retribution on himself.

On the one hand, he was concerned that using the Creation Axe or the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor would attract the attention of the Heavenly God in charge of retribution. On the other hand, before the retribution even descended, Xiao Mu knew this was merely ordinary retribution, and there were no True Gods or Heavenly Gods targeting him specifically, so his life was not in danger.

Knowing that his life was not in danger, Xiao Mu wanted to test just how strong his resistance to retribution could be.

As the power of retribution continued to fall, Xiao Mu used his authority, power, and divine techniques to fend it off while simultaneously channeling them into the Destiny Point of retribution, sealing the Mysterious Ancient Well.

With the injection of his own authority, the Mysterious Ancient Well was gradually resealed. The brilliance leaking from retribution weakened, and the once tangible Retribution Lamp became illusory again.

The power of retribution grew weaker, and the thunderbolts within Xiao Mu gradually dissipated.

Deep within the Destiny Point, the Retribution Lamp still radiated brilliance, but it was no longer strong enough to continue penetrating the Mysterious Ancient Well or projecting through Xiao Mu's Destiny Point.

"The Power of Retribution is indeed formidable, but unless someone deliberately promotes it, ordinary retribution is generally not enough to kill me."

Xiao Mu murmured softly, hastily consuming several energy fruits to recover after resisting retribution.

Having withstood retribution, he gained a deeper understanding of the power of Heavenly Dao.

Whether it's retribution, fate, life and death, or reincarnation, they constantly affect every living being.

But under normal circumstances, unless deliberately driven, such powers usually do not kill someone, unless their luck has deteriorated to the extreme, triggering a significant backlash.

Luck deteriorated to the extreme!

As this thought flashed through his consciousness, Xiao Mu's gaze gradually deepened. He couldn't help but reopen his spiritual eyes to scrutinize the Destiny Point where the retribution resided.

Within the Destiny Point, in the Mysterious Ancient Well, the sinister little figures manifested by the power of retribution were still ceaselessly consuming both the authoritative energy he had used to block the well's entrance and the well walls themselves.

The little figures' actions never ceased, and they seemed to harbor an endless longing for the world beyond the well walls.

Could it be?

Xiao Mu suddenly furrowed his brow.

The power of Heavenly Dao seemed far more complex than he had imagined. Judging from the actions of the sinister little figures, there seemed to be something hidden behind the well walls.

This thing was extremely important to him. Should the sinister little figures touch it, it might bring about unimaginable and terrorizing consequences.

What could it be?

As this thought flashed through his mind, a shuddering sensation surged in Xiao Mu's heart.

He had an intuition that the unknown thing behind the well walls was absolutely related to life and death, and even to the ultimate secrets of cultivation.

"Whatever it takes, I must prevent these powers of retribution from chiseling through the well walls of the Mysterious Ancient Well, and I can't let the sinister little figures touch whatever lies beyond."
