Xiao Mu held the Blood Cloud Flag in his hand, his gaze gradually becoming resolute.

Considering the bigger picture, this Blood Cloud Flag can indeed be kept and used. As for the backlash issue from the strange face on the flag surface, there's the suppression from the Supreme Will of the Heavenly Emperor Seal, so there's no need to worry for the time being.

At worst, if the strange face is about to lose control, just destroy it directly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but look up, gazing towards the east.

"Dahong Pass is in the west. It seems the next pass, Wu Yun Pass, should be in the east."

"The Life and Death Seal is yet to emerge, and it's uncertain when it will. But judging from the current state of the Heavenly Court's Mutated Beings, the Life and Death Seal is unlikely to emerge anytime soon. Otherwise, the Mutated Beings of the Heavenly Court wouldn't be so unhurried, they would have already rushed towards the direction of the Pool of Chaos."

"The Pool of Chaos seems unable to open before the Life and Death Seal emerges?"

"It seems that if the Life and Death Seal doesn't emerge, even if I reach the Pool of Chaos, I won't be able to enter."

"There are many strong powers entering from the Heavenly Court this time. Compared to them, the Human world is significantly weaker."

"People like Huang Yuan, Chen Ming, and Xu Lang are unreliable. They might manage against ordinary True Gods of the Heavenly Court, but they can't be relied upon when facing formidable strong ones among them."

"So, in this battle, the only person I can rely on is myself."

Xiao Mu's face darkened as he realized that once the Heavenly Court seized the Life and Death Seal, a new ancestor of life and death would immediately emerge among their True Gods.

This ancestor of life and death, with such formidable power, was once comparable to even Lord of Bai's Mansion.

Should the Heavenly Court gain such a strong expert, combined with Meng Xuantong, Yuan Men, and Yu Tong, they might soon have the power to destroy the Human world.

After all, the Divine Phoenix hasn't emerged yet, and the Human Emperor hasn't truly awakened.

Once the Heavenly Court forces in the Human world gain the ability to destroy it, the first person they'll deal with is undoubtedly me.

I possess the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and hold the Emperor's authority, a target that Emperor Taija has designated.

The more Xiao Mu thought about it, the worse his expression became, as a strong sense of crisis welled up within him.

Besides the fact that he was a target designated by Emperor Taija, the most critical point was the Heavenly Court's cruelty towards the Human world.

Lord of Bai's Mansion, loyal to the Heavenly Emperor, has always been a thorn in the side of the Heavenly Court in the eastern domain. Destroying the eastern domain must have always been in Emperor Taija's thoughts.

Perhaps only by doing so could he solidify his position as the supreme in the Heavenly Court?

Lord of Bai's Mansion may have already fallen.

But for someone who has governed the eastern domain since ancient times like the Lord of Bai's Mansion, he must have long integrated with this land. As long as this land is not destroyed, there's always a chance for rebirth.

Emperor Taija, to prevent Lord of Bai's Mansion from rebirthing, and to completely annihilate the Heavenly Emperor's forces, might likely destroy all life in the Human world.

Brutal! Frightening!

Xiao Mu shook his head, the possibilities he deduced making him even more worried about the future of the Human world, and more concerned about his own future.

The Life and Death Seal must be seized, even though Senior Zhou repeatedly warned me to prioritize my safety, allowing the loss of the Life and Death Seal.

But the reason why Senior Zhou says this is solely for my safety. He certainly doesn't want to give up on the Life and Death Seal himself.

Life and Death Seal! Blood Cloud Flag!

While the Pool of Chaos hasn't opened and the emergence time of the Life and Death Seal is uncertain, let's first think of a way to enhance the Blood Cloud Flag.

At the moment, only this flag can greatly enhance my strength. Oh no, a formidable enemy is coming!

While Xiao Mu was thinking, he suddenly sensed something wrong; a feeling of extreme danger suddenly emanated from the direction of Dahong Pass.

Evidently, an exceedingly formidable foe was making their way from Dahong Pass to this side.

"Great Decree, go forth, clear the path!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Mu directly released the Great Decree.

The Great Decree flew out, the supreme will of the Heavenly Emperor sprinkled down from the sky, forming patches of golden glow covering the ground.

Crash!

The earth trembled, Xiao Mu's body directly sank, entering the underground.

And once underground, he didn't dare delay, continuously descending deeper, sinking dozens of miles underground in no time.

※※※

A flash of white light occurred shortly after Xiao Mu hid underground.

A group of white light flew from the direction of Dahong Pass.

Within this white light, a figure was flickering, with the power of destiny flowing all over their body.

"Escaped, damn it!"

The figure within the white light, upon landing, looked towards the direction where Xiao Mu had used the Great Decree to go underground not long ago. His tone was extremely harsh, as if gritting his teeth while speaking.

This person seemed to have seen the scene of Xiao Mu underground, suddenly glaring.

In his eyes, two beams of destiny's white light shot out like arrows, directly piercing the earth, chasing the direction Xiao Mu went.

Xiao Mu felt a chill all over as the beams of destiny from the man in the white light scanned over him, startling him instantly.

The man within the white light group seemed to realize Xiao Mu's location through the power of destiny, coldly saying, "Xiao Mu, your strength is even greater than I imagined, having even killed Wu Ying. Very well, possessing the ability to kill Wu Ying finally makes you worthy of my attention."

"You'd better stay hidden underground until the Life and Death Seal battle ends, or I might appear before you at any moment, kill you at any time."
