"Cough, cough!"

Zhou Xuanmen waved the divine shield to block again, yet he was even more severely injured,resulting in more blood being coughed up.

But he suddenly stopped, looked up and shouted angrily towards the sky, "Jin Yuan, if you don't come out now, we might as well part ways."

"Zhou Xuanmen, why so loud? I just wanted to confirm if your power is really just at the late True God level."

The voice of Grand Elder Jin Yuan came from the sky, followed by clouds shimmering, eight figures appearing simultaneously on the clouds.

The cloud mist trembled, and the eight figures descended simultaneously.

The Human World Alliance's eight Grand Elders all appeared before Zhou Xuanmen, standing between him and the three True Gods of the Heavenly Court.

"What are you looking at? Jin Yuan, Old Ghost, if I'm killed, I'll drag you down with me."

Zhou Xuanmen angrily cursed Jin Yuan, then swiftly retreated to distance himself from Yu Tong, Yuan Men, and Lv Zhen to avoid being caught in the battle's aftermath.

"Jin Yuan, Qi Gu, Fei Xuan, Yan Ming, the eight Grand Elders of the Human World Alliance, the eight True Gods under the Human Emperor's rule."

Lv Zhen recognized the eight Grand Elders, his expression uneasy.

These eight Grand Elders were very famous in ancient times, making him apprehensive.

Yu Tong, who knew more about the eight Grand Elders, was unimpressed. He swept his gaze over them and sneered,

"I wondered who it was; so, it's the eight True Gods under the Human Emperor? Unfortunately, if the Human Emperor were still here, leveraging his authority, you all are True Gods, and we might have fled instantly."

"Sadly, the Human Emperor now slumbers, insufficient to uphold your authority. Haven't you eight already lost the power of True Gods?"

Lv Zhen was astonished, then ecstatically stared at Jin Yuan, the leader of the eight Grand Elders, "You haven't restored the power of True Gods yet?"

Jin Yuan, the leader of the eight Grand Elders, was not willing to be outdone and responded coldly, "Even without the power of True Gods restored, we can still kill you. Zhou Xuanmen, take care of Lv Zhen; Yu Tong and Yuan Men are ours."

After speaking, the eight Grand Elders, with great tacit understanding, immediately split into two groups of four, each targeting Yu Tong and Yuan Men.

Zhou Xuanmen, who had just used the Power of Life and Death to heal his injuries, cried out loudly, "Jin Yuan, I have no time to help you fight. The True Gods of the Heavenly Court are pursuing Xiao Mu, trying to seize the Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal from him. I must take him away at once."

"What? Xiao Mu possesses both the Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal?"

Jin Yuan was shocked upon hearing this.

The other seven Grand Elders were also astonished.

That Xiao Mu had both the Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal was a shocking revelation to them.

These two treasures have actually fallen into Xiao Mu's hands.

Despite their shock, they were all ecstatic.

Lv Zhen, upon hearing Zhou Xuanmen's words, also showed a look of shock and cried out, "Xiao Mu actually has the Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal? Zhou Xuanmen, don't even think of leaving, especially not Xiao Mu. Even if you Zhou Xuanmen escape, I must keep Xiao Mu here."

"The Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal, the Human World has no right to possess them."

Jin Yuan, after recovering from his shock, became anxious.

That old Zhou actually revealed that Xiao Mu had the Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal. Is he afraid that the Heavenly Court doesn't act crazy enough?

How crucial are these two treasures? Announcing this in front of three Heavenly Court strongmen is tantamount to forcing the Heavenly Court to go all out.

Yu Tong and Yuan Men were not shocked; they knew Xiao Mu had the Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal and never intended to let Xiao Mu leave.

"Xiao Xiao, let's go!"

Zhou Xuanmen suddenly rushed to Xiao Mu, lifting him. Beneath them, the Cursed Cloud appeared, raising them both to depart into the skies.

"Zhou Xuanmen, where do you think you're going? Now that I know Xiao Mu has the Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal, do you think I would let you leave?"

Lv Zhen shouted, lunging forward with a black long spear to intercept.

With the black long spear in hand, he thrust it at Zhou Xuanmen. Amid the booming lightning, retribution authority pushed towards Zhou Xuanmen like a huge mountain obscuring the sky.

"Lv Zhen, did you ask us if you want to stop Zhou Xuanmen?"

Jin Yuan shouted, with lightning flashing, flying towards Lv Zhen. In his hand, a hammer and a chisel appeared simultaneously, stabbing at Lv Zhen.

Alongside Jin Yuan, Qi Gu, another elder of the Alliance, made a move as well.

Qi Gu unleashed the city god's authoritative golden light externally, and amidst the flashing golden light, brandished a golden tome aimed at Lv Zhen.

Hearing that Xiao Mu had the Life and Death Seal and the Eastern Region Yama Seal, these two Grand Elders did not want Zhou Xuanmen and the others to join the fight with them, but instead, began creating an opportunity for Zhou Xuanmen to escape.

The Life and Death Seal and Eastern Region Yama Seal, as long as they remain in the Human World, it's a victory.

Lv Zhen, had no choice but to wield the Black Long Spear, forcefully resisting the attacks of two Human world Grand Elders.

Jin Yuan and Qi Gu joined forces with Lv Zhen in battle. Amidst the intense combat, the trio unleashed various brilliance, and peculiar energies continuously shattered, scattering into the air.

On the other side, the other six Elders, including Fei Xuan and Yan Ming, also took action the moment Lv Zhen did.

The six divided into two groups, three per group, and each held back Yu Tong and Yuan Men respectively.

The eight Grand Elders of the Human world, having once been True Gods, although their authority was no more, their power still remained at the True God Level.

Eight against three, for the time being, managed to hold back Yu Tong, Yuan Men, and Lv Zhen, the three True Gods.

"Xiao Xiao, let's go!"

As Zhou Xuanmen saw the eight Grand Elders holding back Yu Tong, Yuan Men, and Lv Zhen, he once again pulled Xiao Mu, leaping skyward, attempting to leave riding the Cursed Cloud.

The duo's figures soared instantly.

Boom!

From high above, a thunderous sound suddenly reverberated, two True God exemplars appeared from the left and right, each wielding Secret Technique Weapons—a great sword and a long knife—striking Zhou Xuanmen fiercely.

Boom!

In the crisis, Zhou Xuanmen hurriedly raised a Secret Technique Divine Shield to fend off the attack.

Amidst two booming echoes, the two Secret Technique Weapons simultaneously assaulted the Divine Shield.

Amidst rays of divine light, a sudden thunderous explosion occurred, the Secret Technique Divine Shield, in Zhou Xuanmen's hands, was directly shattered.

The ferocious True God authority pressed down from the sky, suppressing the Cursed Cloud, Zhou Xuanmen had no choice but to lead Xiao Mu back to the ground to evade.

Whoosh! Boom! Bang!

As Zhou Xuanmen landed, the two True God exemplars followed, landing one on each side, fixing their gaze on Zhou Xuanmen.

"Zhou Xuanmen, hand over Xiao Mu, and you can leave."

The sword-wielding True God had a cold and piercing gaze.

"If you don't hand over Xiao Mu, you will die with him!"

The knife-wielding True God was filled with murderous intent.

"Jia Ban, Yin Kan, is it you?"

Zhou Xuanmen's eyes fell on the two True Gods, his expression changing.

※※※

"This Old Zhou really knows how to stir things up, it seems his calculations were long made. He is determined to delay until all Heavenly Court True Gods have arrived."

"With his power, if he wanted to escape, he could have already taken Xiao Mu and fled."

"Feigning weakness, haha!"

"He intentionally stays behind, pretends to flee, allowing Heavenly Court True Gods to obstruct, waiting for all Heavenly Court True Gods to gather."

"This is creating a good opportunity for the Human Emperor to strike."

"After all, the Human Emperor hasn't revived yet, only has one chance to act, and it's a chance accumulated over tens of thousands of years by continuously absorbing Creation Power from the Pool of Chaos."

"This one chance of action must of course be put to good use."

"It's just unexpected that Old Zhou's intentions are so ruthless, wanting to attract all Heavenly Court True Gods to catch them all in one net."

"The Human Emperor, blood sacrifices True Gods to restore the outer creature. The more killed, the greater the restoration."

"Well, I'll wait a little longer, see how long Old Zhou can hold out, and won't reveal myself in a rush. How strange, why hasn't Meng Xuantong appeared? Could it be he sensed the danger and intentionally hasn't shown up, observing from the shadows?"

"Not only did Meng Xuantong not appear, but other Heavenly Court experts are here yet haven't shown themselves either."

"Seems these individuals are all very cautious, after all, they've lived for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years. Each is deeply scheming, not so easily calculated."

"If that's the case, we must think of a way to force them to reveal themselves."

The Divine Phoenix woman hidden amidst stone statue in the high-altitude clouds, holding a Treasure Mirror, continually observing the changes on the battlefield below.

Now, upon seeing Zhou Xuanmen's actions, immediately understood his intent.

Yet, simultaneously, considering the Heavenly Court True Gods hidden in the shadows, she can't help but become worried.
