Automatically, Xiao Mu's body exerted the Life Force. The Dao Method Spiritual Energy oscillated, forming a golden shield, covering his body with Life Force.

The power of the Life-draining Grass released was blocked outside by the golden shield. The effect it had on Xiao Mu was significantly diminished, and the rate at which it absorbed the Life Force from his body immediately slowed down.

The situation was much more dangerous for Tian Xiang. Without cultivating the Two Forces of Life and Death, she was succumbing to aging as the Life-draining Grass sucked a massive amount of Life Force from her.

In her surprise and urgency, she quickly covered herself with the Curse Power, forming a black isolation layer.

This isolation layer gave off a terrifying aura, containing a strong Curse Power that could curse and kill any Mutated Beings that approached.

However, it still couldn't stop the erosion of the Life-draining Grass, which took root on the black isolation layer.

Under Tian Xiang's control, the Curse Power on the isolation layer spread out, inversely covering the root system of the Life-draining Grass, and started to erode the grass's roots.

Although the roots of the Life-draining Grass had started to decay, it did not die. Instead, it continued to absorb Tian Xiang's Life Force.

The Curse Power might be able to kill the Life-draining Grass, but it would need time. Meanwhile, the grass would not stop draining Tian Xiang's Life Force.

"You're so mean, boo hoo!"

Tearfully, Tian Xiang took out the Four Symbols Heavenly Fire Talisman and threw it at the divine being's shell.

Whoosh!

The Four Symbols Heavenly Fire Talisman set off a splendid flame in mid-air. Upon falling onto the divine being's shell, it would ignite and release the Four Symbols Divine Fire to burn the shell.

"Wait!"

Xiao Mu reached out abruptly and caught the Four Symbols Heavenly Fire Talisman.

The Heavenly Fire Talisman would burn upon obstruction. Under the splendid glow, the Four Symbols Divine Fire was simmering and ready to burst forth.

Chaos-like Power suddenly surged out of Xiao Mu's hand, engulfing the Four Symbols Heavenly Fire Talisman, suppressing it to prevent it from igniting temporarily.

"Mr. Mu, do... do you have any ideas?" Tian Xiang anxiously inquired, treading on thin ice.

Even though her life force had been depleted significantly by the Life-draining Grass, causing her to age, she did not recklessly question why Xiao Mu had stopped her actions.

Xiao Mu explained, "The strength of the Life and Death Sect's Evil Being surpasses our imagination, a single Four Symbols Heavenly Fire Talisman may not be able to harm it."

The vitality of each creature in the Life and Death Sect is cultivated with the Two Forces of Life and Death. This grants them an extraordinary capacity to survive—even a decapitated head or a totally incinerated body may not result in their death. A single drop of their blood or flesh can revive them.

Moreover, the Evil Being inside the divine body is a True Realm being. It's far more formidable than any regular creature of the Life and Death Sect.

Although this Evil Being is trapped within the divine being's shell and cannot successfully take over in a short period, a single Four Symbols Heavenly Fire Talisman wouldn't do much damage to it.

"Mr. Mu, do... do you have a solution?"

Tian Xiang's aging process accelerated, her hair turned white, and her face began to show wrinkles.

"I forgot, you haven't cultivated the Two Forces of Life and Death, and you can't withstand the erosion of the Life-draining Grass, I'm sorry!"

Xiao Mu looked apologetically at Tian Xiang, and in the same motion, sent a ball of Life Force into her body.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu, thank you! You've been too kind to me!"

Tian Xiang was grateful.

With the influx of Life Force, her aging was suppressed, showing signs of returning to normal. However, the Life-draining Grass was still absorbing her Life Force, so she couldn't fully recover for the time being.

"Mr. Mu, what do you plan to do? Can you kill the Evil Being within the divine shell?"

Tian Xiang's face was full of anticipation, thinking that Xiao Mu might have a way to kill the life and death sect Evil Being within the divine shell.

"You're overestimating me; I don't have such capability. My strength is, at most, in the Late Fifth Realm. How could I kill a being in the True Realm? However, I can still cause it some trouble."

Xiao Mu shook his head, his expression somewhat bitter.

Each evil creature of the Life and Death Sect is very powerful; the strength of a True Realm Evil Being of the Life and Death Sect is undoubtedly unimaginably powerful.

"The speed at which the evil creature takes over the divine shell is very fast, and it might succeed in taking over soon. If we don't cause it some trouble, we would have no chance of escaping from the Towering Giant City."

Xiao Mu was not using scare tactics—beings in the True Realm were far stronger than Mutated Beings in the Mortal Realm.

Once a mutated being steps into the True Realm, they can cultivate the Five Elements Escaping Technique.

That's the skill of immortals.

With Xiao Mu and Tian Xiang's speed, they would have no chance of escaping from a True Realm being proficient in Five Elements Escaping Technique. It wouldn't be long before they were caught up with.

"Then... what to do?"

Tian Xiang was dazed.

"I want to try, whether I can injure this Evil Being to buy time for our escape."

Xiao Mu glanced at the Evil Being in the Life and Death Sect and took action at the same time.

Boom!

He thrust out both hands, unleashing the Five Elements Separation Slash towards the divine shell.

Boom!

Suddenly, a Light of Five Elements emanated from inside the divine being's shell.

A Light of Five Elements circulated around the divine being's shell, seeming like a Five Elements Protective Shield was faintly in place.

No sooner had Xiao Mu's Five Elements Separation Slash encountered the Five Elements Protective Shield, it was completely absorbed, unable to inflict any damage on the Divine Being's shell.

"So strong!"

Tian Xiang voiced her concern.

Like Xiao Mu, she proceeded to test the waters by casting out her Curse Power.

The black Curse Power that appeared like a virus struck the divine being's shell. The divine light on the shell surged, instantly fending off the Curse Power.

Not only that, but it also rebounded. The next moment, Tian Xiang exclaimed as streaks of black gas appeared on her body—she had been cursed by her own Curse Power.
