"Kid, go ahead, how do you want to die?"

The Five Elements Grandmaster looked at Xiao Mu leisurely.

He wasn't afraid of Xiao Mu causing trouble; the disparity in strength was just too great. Xiao Mu posed no threat to him.

Xiao Mu smiled calmly, then suddenly narrowed his eyes to study the Five Elements Grandmaster. The next second, he spoke earnestly, "Apologies, I've suddenly decided I don't want to die. Old Ghost, you are incredibly ugly!"

The veins on the Five Elements Grandmaster's forehead bulged, "Very well, very well! Kid, you dare mock this Grandmaster. If I can't torture you to death, I am not even human."

"Haha!"

Xiao Mu burst into laughter, deliberately taunting, "Why pretend to be dignified? You were never human to begin with. Honestly, if someone looked as ugly as you, they wouldn't have the face to continue living—they would've committed suicide ages ago!"

"Heh heh!"

Enraged to the point of laughing, the Five Elements Grandmaster stretched out his massive hand and grabbed Xiao Mu, his chilling gaze fixed on him. "Kid, you brought this on yourself, you have no one else to blame."

With that, he was about to toss Xiao Mu into the Five Elements Divine Furnace.

"Wait!"

Despite being captured, Xiao Mu remained unperturbed and spoke up once again.

"Heh heh, you think this Grandmaster would listen to your nonsense a second time?"

The Five Elements Grandmaster sneered, unwilling to engage further with Xiao Mu. With a pointed finger, the lid of the Five Elements Divine Furnace flew open.

Gripping Xiao Mu tightly, he moved him directly to the furnace's opening, ready to throw him inside.

Feeling the intense heat emanating from the Five Elements Divine Furnace, Xiao Mu hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Five Elements, listen—I said wait for your own good. I have an ally, and they're almost here."

"If you kill me, harm me, or even scratch me the slightest bit, my ally will return it tenfold, a hundredfold."

"Five Elements, you're no match for that friend of mine. I suggest you release me now to avoid making things worse for yourself."

"What?"

The Five Elements Grandmaster laughed uproariously, "An ally? Haha, kid, I could say the Heavenly Emperor is my friend—do you believe that? Haha! An ally—you think conjuring one out of thin air will scare me?"

With that, he lifted Xiao Mu higher and prepared to toss him into the furnace.

The Five Elements Grandmaster paid no heed to Xiao Mu's warning about a formidable ally, dismissing it outright as nonsense. What powerful friend? Sheer lies!

In this Sealed Land, could there truly exist someone stronger than himself?

Regarding the current forces of the Human world, he had already heard from the Gold Spirit God long ago.

At present, due to the disappearance of Lord of Bai's Mansion and the Human Emperor's slumber, the only True God remaining was Zhou Xuanmen.

Even Zhou Xuanmen had only acquired the status of True God just one year prior.

Could such a Human world still produce anyone worthy of his fear?

"Haha!"

The Five Elements Grandmaster laughed again and prepared to throw Xiao Mu into the Divine Furnace.

What a joke—trying to threaten him?

Xiao Mu, however, remained even calmer, keeping his faint smile and gaze locked onto the Five Elements Grandmaster without a hint of fear.

"Haha!"

The Five Elements Grandmaster laughed yet again, but suddenly, his laughter trembled.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, his hand clutching Xiao Mu involuntarily shook.

"Haha! Why bother? It was just a joke, my friend, why take it so seriously? Haha, we're all comrades here—no need for such formality."

"Back in the day, I was once suppressed by the Eastern Domain Master Lord of Bai's Mansion, held under lock and key until now. Speaking of which, you're from the Human world, right? We share a deep connection, practically family. Heh heh! Heh heh heh heh!"

The Five Elements Grandmaster forced out an awkward laugh, his expression anything but natural, as he slowly lowered Xiao Mu.

Not only did he release him, but he lightly patted Xiao Mu's shoulder in a friendly manner. "Heh heh, I didn't hurt you just now, did I? It was all a joke, nothing to take to heart, my friend!"

Boom!

A gigantic foot suddenly descended from the heavens, stomping directly on the Five Elements Grandmaster's head.

With a deafening crash, the Five Elements Grandmaster was stamped into the ground, buried deep within the mud.

"Ahhh~"

A Wild Man appeared before Xiao Mu, his right foot planted on the Five Elements Grandmaster's head, pressing him into the mud as he stared at Xiao Mu, grunting "Ahhh."

"Greetings, Senior Hei!" Xiao Mu clasped his fists and saluted the Wild Man. Senior Hei's arrival was perfectly timed.

This senior's strength was absolutely extraordinary—it might indeed be at the Heavenly God Level.

Without such tremendous Heavenly God–level power, how could he suppress the Five Elements Grandmaster with a single stomp?

"Ahhh~"

The Wild Man gestured wildly toward Xiao Mu, pointing to the ground and then at the Five Elements Grandmaster he had stomped into the earth.

What does he mean?

Xiao Mu scratched his head, unable to decipher the Wild Man's intentions.

"Ahhh~"

The Wild Man seemed anxious, gesturing again, then lifting his right foot and stomping the ground heavily with his left foot.

With a loud bang, the Five Elements Grandmaster was propelled from the earth.

Boom!

The Wild Man struck again.

This time, his foot landed square on the Five Elements Grandmaster's back, driving him back into the ground.

With this stomp, the power of Black Wind emanated, directly sealing the Five Elements Grandmaster, rendering him unable to use his Divine Powers or escape.

"Ahhh~" The Wild Man gestured wildly toward Xiao Mu again, pointing at the Five Elements Grandmaster.

"Senior..."

Xiao Mu spread his hands helplessly; he couldn't understand the Wild Man.

He asked casually, "Senior, have your injuries healed? Congratulations, Senior!"

The Wild Man's injuries had indeed healed—and not just completely healed, but he appeared even stronger than before.

Judging by this display, absorbing the Creation Power hadn't merely cured the Wild Man's injuries but had also restored a considerable portion of his strength.

"Which Senior is playing a joke on me? Five Elements respectfully greets Senior!"

Being stomped underfoot by the Wild Man, the Five Elements Grandmaster spoke in defeated tones, thoroughly terrified by the Wild Man's sudden arrival.
