Zhu Yunlei said, "My apologies for the wait, Brother Xiao. The treasure has been secured. Please hold on a moment."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunlei reached out, took out a Storage Box, and placed it on the altar table in front of Xiao Mu. Pointing at the Storage Box, he said, "Brother Xiao, please take a look yourself."
What could it be?
Xiao Mu, curious, used his Divine Sense to control the image of a god to pick up the Storage Box and open the lid.
A dim light suddenly erupted, causing an explosion inside the box, and a burst of grey-white Halo rushed towards him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Weird noises emanated from the box. Xiao Mu reached inside, and with a snap, the box quickly closed shut.
Blood oozed from Xiao Mu's fingertips. His finger had been squashed flat; the ordinary storage box had inexplicably snapped shut, crushing his finger.
"Interesting!"
Xiao Mu's expression changed slightly as Life Force surged towards his finger, healing the injury. Then he quickly reached out again, opened the Storage Box, and took out the item inside.
It was a grey-white Open Mountain Knife with a straight handle, over a meter long, and a handle alone measuring a full forty centimeters.
Power of Destiny!
Power of Disaster!
Xiao Mu gazed at the Open Mountain Knife and noticed the Power of Disaster infused in the blade, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
A fine Treasure indeed. His enemies were about to face misfortune; upon encountering Xiao Mu wielding this Open Mountain Knife, they would easily be struck by calamity and be swiftly cut down.
"This Disaster Knife is a high-level Divine Weapon imbued with the Power of Disaster. Are you satisfied, Brother Xiao?" Zhu Yunlei asked Xiao Mu with a smile.
"Very good, I am quite pleased with this knife. Brother Zhu, it's been a pleasant cooperation," Xiao Mu said as he put away the Open Mountain Knife, harnessing the Power of Incense Fire to transfer it back to his true self.
"A pleasant cooperation! I look forward to our next opportunity to work together, Brother Xiao."
As his Divine Sense returned to his body, Xiao Mu familiarized himself with the usage of the Disaster Knife. Due to the inherent Power of Disaster, it excelled in taking the enemy by surprise, attacking from their blind spot. The optimal scenario would be a sneak attack.
But for Xiao Mu, this wasn't a significant concern. As a high-level Divine Weapon, even just speaking of its inherent strength, it was far more powerful than the Eight-Sided Hammer.
"With the Disaster Knife in hand, the Eight-Sided Hammer can be retired."
After a time spent familiarizing himself, Xiao Mu put away the Disaster Knife and began to seclude himself for Cultivation.
Heavenly Court might take action before long; during this period, he must seize the time to strengthen himself.
Ten days later, on this day, as Xiao Mu was cultivating, he suddenly heard a loud boom from the west, the Earth shook violently like a Carpet, and following that, the sky seemed to instantly turn grey and black. An endless Power of Retribution surged upward from the ground, covering the heavens before cascading back down.
In that instant, the entire Twilight Forest Village seemed to be enveloped in the Power of Retribution.
A loud tumult rose from the station, restlessness spread among the nearby Mutated Beings of the Human World, and the sound of footsteps and Escape Arts echoes successively. Many Mutated Beings of the Human World rushed out to see what had happened.
Go out and take a look first.
Xiao Mu stopped his cultivation and stepped out from his seclusion.
"Brother Xiao, greetings!"
"Lord Xiao, greetings!"
"Respected Envoy Xiao, greetings!"
Many of the ordinary Mutated Beings greeted Xiao Mu upon seeing him.
While responding, Xiao Mu sped toward the front lines.
Before long, he arrived at the foot of a mountain, the highest peak in the vicinity.
Looking up at the mountain top, he immediately saw Zhou Xuanmen, the Respected Envoy, Huang Yuan, and others.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xiao Mu used an Escape Art to ascend and, before getting close, called out, "Gentlemen, what has happened?"
As everyone turned their heads to look, recognizing Xiao Mu, many nodded in acknowledgement. The Respected Envoy pointed westward and reminded, "Take a look over there."
Xiao Mu stared westward, and his expression changed on the spot, "That is..."
To the west, at the location of Dalin Abyss, a red light enveloped the area. And above the red light, high in the sky, stood a colossal figure shrouded in dark grey Power of Retribution.
Meng Xuantong!
This massive figure was definitely Meng Xuantong, who was Protecting the Dharma for the Heavenly Court Mutated Beings below in Dalin Abyss and monitoring all directions.
Beneath the red light of Dalin Abyss, Heavenly Court Mutated Beings were moving various Strange Treasures. The Treasures in the hands of the Heavenly Court Mutated Beings radiated light, forming a gigantic circular Great Array on the spot.
This circular Great Array almost completely enveloped the entire Dalin Abyss.
"Pool of Chaos, Creation Array, have they discovered it?"
Xiao Mu realized and suddenly guessed something.
The Heavenly Court Mutated Beings were so busy that there was no doubt they had discovered the location of the Creation Array and were breaking the Array.
The Respected Envoy explained, "Directly below Dalin Abyss lies the Creation Array. Those from Heavenly Court have mastered the method to break the Array and are preparing to open it up."
"Look, the Strange Treasures they are holding are materials for setting up the Array. They are arranging the Reverse Creation Divine Array to break open the Creation Array beneath Dalin Abyss."
Xiao Mu's expression turned solemn. Having heard the Respected Envoy's explanation, he understood even more clearly the actions of the Heavenly Court Mutated Beings, and he could not help but look again towards the location of Dalin Abyss.
Two streaks of golden light shot out from his eyes, stretching thousands of miles, long and straight, allowing Xiao Mu to see more clearly.
And so he saw, at the site of the Creation Array, numerous Mutated Beings of the Yin God Realm and Divine Spirits Realm were holding Strange Treasures and placing them on the Earth.
The Heavenly Court Mutated Beings continued to search for the right spot on the ground, but it didn't take long for a Yin God Realm Mutated Being to suddenly plant the Treasure in hand into the Soil. The Soil lit up with white light, and the Yin God Realm Mutated Being immediately raised his hands to cheer in a victorious celebration.
