Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor descended with a supreme intention, suppressing the Curse Gate man beneath it.

"Ah~"

Under the immense pressure of the Supreme Intention, the form of the Curse Gate man slowed instantly. He realized the imminent danger and let out a cry of utter despair.

Pfft!

The Five Elements Divine Sword swept across the Curse Gate man's neck, decapitating him as his head flew off and his body slowly fell to the ground.

Power +3.

Xiao Mu stepped forward and bent down to pick up the Land God command token that had fallen from the Curse Gate man's hand.

Without even glancing at it, he casually stored the Land God command token in the Earth Seal Space. Xiao Mu then fixed his gaze on the man from the human world who was engaged in a fierce battle with a Ghost Servant.

The strength of the Ghost Servant, who was only at the Early Stage of the Yin God Realm, was not equal to that of the man from the human world.

But the man from the human world had already been injured from the battle with the Curse Gate man and was weakened by the Curse Disease Technique and Curse Conversion Technique. At this moment, he could only exert a third of his normal strength.

Thus the Ghost Servant was able to entangle the man from the human world, preventing him from easily escaping.

The Curse Gate man's screams before his death had alarmed the man from the human world. Seeing the Curse Gate man killed by Xiao Mu, the man from the human world immediately became frantic.

As the man from the human world used the Earth Escape Technique to dodge the Ghost Servant's Heavenly Soldier Sword, he shouted at Xiao Mu, "You dare kill me? Don't forget, you are also a member of the Alliance. If you dare kill me, just wait for the Alliance's punishment."

A sneer crossed Xiao Mu's face.

The arrogance the man from the human world had at the beginning was gone; his tone, seemingly threatening, also carried a note of pleading for peace.

What took you so long?

Not to mention you've insulted me so many times, I could never let you go, even just for the command token of the Land God, I wouldn't easily let you walk away.

Let you go and have you spread the word in the Great Tang ruins that I've obtained the Land God command token?

If the Mutated Beings of the Great Tang ruins got wind of Xiao Mu acquiring the Land God command token, while it might not necessarily be dangerous, it would undoubtedly lead to inevitable trouble.

Even just to avoid the hassle, Xiao Mu had no intention of sparing the man from the human world.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Xiao Mu activated the Earth Escape Technique, his body turning into a yellow light as he closed in on the man from the human world.

The man from the human world panicked immediately, with the Supreme Yang Divine Light, true gold light, and true earth light, emanating from his back to repel the Ghost Servant, as he swiftly dodged to the left.

Addressing Xiao Mu, he shouted loudly, "You dare kill me, won't you be in trouble yourself?"

Xiao Mu didn't respond to the man from the human world's words, nor did he intend to engage in any dialogue. With a shrug of his shoulder, the divine light of the Five Elements stood erect behind him, and with ruthless intent, he swept his sword across the frantic man.

The face of the frantic man immediately turned blacker than a chalkboard, and in his terror, while rapidly retreating backwards, he shouted loudly at Xiao Mu for mercy, "Don't kill me, I am willing to pay the price, as long as you spare my life."

Spare your life so that you can go back to the Great Tang ruins and report on me?

Xiao Mu sneered inwardly, still not engaging with the frantic man, as the Five Elements Divine Sword swept across towards the man without a hint of clemency.

Pfft!

The injured man's escape technique was greatly restricted, and he couldn't avoid the speed of Xiao Mu's Five Elements Divine Sword. His body was cleaved straight through as Xiao Mu brandished the sword across him.

"Ah~, you... you..."

The man's eyes widened in a mix of despair and unwillingness as his body suddenly split in two and fell to the ground.

"Search their bodies, see what they have."

Upon seeing the frantic man killed, Xiao Mu ordered the Ghost Servant.

"As you command!"

The Ghost Servant answered respectfully and immediately began searching the corpses of the frantic man and the Curse Gate man.

Xiao Mu walked aside, took out the Land God command token, and began to examine it.

The surface of the Land God command token was covered with divine textures, filled with the majesty of the Land God. The divine power of the Land God constantly radiating from it was enough to cover a whole area.

Without a doubt, once the Land God command token was refined, one would possess the authority of the Land God and become a true Yin God.

With a hum, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor flew out from within Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu held the Land God command token close to the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

A black light shot out from the Land God command token and merged into the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

Upon close examination of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, he noticed an additional cluster of faint glow had appeared in the center, exuding a divine power.

This faint glow undoubtedly came from the Land God command token, carrying with it the authority of the Land God.

Xiao Mu tried to retrieve the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, which then descended and flew back into Xiao Mu's body.

Xiao Mu closed his eyes for a moment to sense its power, then opened them promptly.

In Xiao Mu's eyes, two beams of majestic divine light burst forth.

The divine light seemed to penetrate an area, looking down from above, commanding over the land below.

Prayers sounded in his ears and behind Xiao Mu, a white divine light suddenly emerged, with the faint scent of incense swirling around him.

That was the incense fire.

Having acquired the duties of the Land God, he had gained the ability to bear the incense fire.

As the prayers became clearer, Xiao Mu closed his eyes, only to see a light in the pitch darkness.

Before him, an image appeared— an elderly woman kneeling on the ground, praying to a divine figure that, in theory, belonged to him.

The sound of her prayers reached Xiao Mu's ears, and he clearly heard the elderly woman's pleas.

"Land God above, the good woman Wang Yuan prays to you, please cure my husband's illness."

Xiao Mu learned the old woman's name and the content of her prayer.

The experience felt somewhat like watching a movie, but not entirely.

As thoughts swirled in Xiao Mu's mind, just when he thought of Wang Yuan's husband, another scene unfolded before his eyes.

It was a room with white walls all around, and on a single bed lay an old man, weak and listless, barely breathing.

His breathing was faint, hardly perceptible, and his heart struggled to beat beneath a canopy of black gas.

Xiao Mu looked at the old man's heart and saw a shadow at the position of the right atrium.

There was an issue with the old man's heart.

After some thought, Xiao Mu reached out and wiped over the position of the old man's heart.

The disease that obscured the right atrium of the old man's heart vanished, his heart returned to normal, and he slowly sat up, looking shocked.

Simultaneously, the black gas above the old man's crown disappeared, signifying his escape from misfortune and distance from death.

"It can be done this way?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help but marvel at the formidable divine authority of the Land God, capable of curing ordinary people's diseases.

However, his expression soon changed slightly.

The black gas above the old man's crown hadn't actually vanished but Xiao Mu, who forcefully relieved the old man of his illness, had involuntarily borne the calamity Qi that originally belonged to the old man.

At that moment, a black gas was winding around Xiao Mu, slowly infiltrating his body.

Xiao Mu's expression changed as he tried to avoid the calamity Qi, but found it impossible to escape; no matter how fast he was, the calamity Qi was always a bit faster, eventually merging into his body.

A clear sensation emerged in Xiao Mu's heart, making him aware that he had taken on the calamity Qi that belonged to the old man.

This calamity Qi turned into some form of malevolent force, damaging Xiao Mu's blessings.

"How can this be?"

Xiao Mu was shocked and uncertain.

But at the same time, the incense fire he was bearing was slowly forging his body, making it more sacred, more majestic as a divine spirit, and also strengthening his divine power.

"By aiding the ordinary people under the purview of my own divine power, I bear the catastrophe clouds that originally belonged to them. But at the same time, the incense fire they offer enhances my divine power, making me stronger."

After a short while, Xiao Mu formulated a theory.

And based on logical reasoning, he felt his conjecture was probably correct.

Nevertheless, it didn't take long for Xiao Mu to notice something else. He looked up towards the sky above, and his face immediately darkened, even appearing gloomy.

Above his head and in the eyes of Xiao Mu's Divine Eye, a sinister gray catastrophe cloud had appeared.

This catastrophe cloud hovered above him, concealing endless dangers, seemingly ready to descend at any moment.

It seemed that the cloud had always been there, invisible until he officially took on the divine rank and duties.
