Gone? Are you kidding me?

Xu Qianwu didn't believe a single word Xiao Mu said about there being no more fragments of the Divine Treasure. You had eight pieces before, and now suddenly you can't produce another? Who would believe that?

"Xiao Xiao, look, cough cough!" Xu Qianwu gestured all around, stubbornly insisting, "Look, these people from the Curse Gate are almost surrounding us, there's bound to be a big fight next, and just now, cough cough..."

Suddenly, Xu Qianwu coughed violently, covering his mouth with a hand before spitting a mouthful of black blood into it.

He stretched out his palm, now smeared with black blood, pitifully in front of Xiao Mu, "See, Xiao Xiao, during the last fight, I got a little hurt, even my Mountain God Spirit Tablet was cursed a bit."

As if fearing Xiao Mu wouldn't believe him, the old man's head then displayed the form of the Mountain God.

The Golden Mountain God Form, which had been completely restored, now exhibited a faint wisp of Black Gas on its left shoulder.

This Black Gas faintly exuded Curse Power, but the amount was almost imperceptible.

Shameless!

Xiao Mu was utterly speechless and nearly cursed out loud, glaring at Xu Qianwu with indignation plastered on his face.

It was too shameless; this Old Ghost was definitely doing it on purpose.

The Black Gas on the left shoulder of the Golden Mountain God Form was undoubtedly from the Punishment Thunder called forth by Yan Wu during their recent battle.

But, could Xu Qianwu, with his strength, especially his Mountain God Form that was nearing the rank of City Guardian Deity, actually be injured by the Thunderstrike summoned by a mere Kitchen God rank?

Not even a ghost would believe that! The Old Ghost was obviously angling for more Divine Treasure fragments from Xiao Mu's possession.

"Elder Xu." Xiao Mu looked at Xu Qianwu helplessly, wasn't this old ghost supposed to be hot-tempered? A hot-tempered person had so many tricks up his sleeve to act shamelessly with him?

Xiao Mu truly felt powerless and sighed, "Elder Xu, your minor injury can easily be healed, right? It doesn't require the absorption of a Divine Treasure fragment. And... I can't shake the feeling that you are scheming for the Divine Treasure fragments in my possession."

"Cough, cough!"

Xu Qianwu, old and sly as he was, had skin thick enough to not show any embarrassment even after being called out by Xiao Mu, "Xiao Xiao, how can you say the old man is scheming against you? Haven't you heard of respecting the old and cherishing the virtuous? I know such a minor injury can heal easily, but isn't it urgent right now?"

As he spoke, he pointed again at the Divine Spirits surrounding them, "Those people from the Curse Gate are about to come over."

"That..."

Xiao Mu looked around and noticed that the Divine Spirits from the Curse Gate were indeed approaching, and judging from the current situation, Xu Qianwu might really not have enough time to heal before they were surrounded.

With a resigned glance at Xu Qianwu, "Alright, Elder Xu, but the last piece of Divine Treasure fragment I have is all that's left. Once I give this to you, if you get injured again, I really won't be able to help you."

"One piece, even one piece is good!"

Xu Qianwu's face showed delight.

In truth, he didn't believe a word Xiao Mu said.

'Only one left, who believes that?' he thought, as Xiao Mu had just said there were none left not long ago.

Xiao Mu reached into the Earth Seal Space and fumbled around before retrieving a small piece of Divine Treasure fragment.

This fragment, likely the smallest piece he had obtained from the Divine Prison, was about the size of a Purple Bead, originally roughly the size of an egg and now shattered to about half an egg.

"Hehe!"

Seeing the Divine Treasure fragment in Xiao Mu's hand, Xu Qianwu's face immediately showed a smile, his eyes firmly fixed on the fragment in Xiao Mu's hand. If it weren't for maintaining his dignity, the old man would probably have snatched it right then and there.

"Isn't that much not necessary for healing?"

Xiao Mu glanced at Xu Qianwu's Mountain God Form.

His injury was minimal, with just a slight trace of Black Gas on his left shoulder, so slight it was nearly negligible.

Xiao Mu lowered his head to look at the damaged Round Bead and, after thinking for a moment, suddenly grabbed the bead with both hands and forcefully twisted it apart.

Xu Qianwu was stunned with a look of bemusement on his face, followed by a smile that wasn't quite a smile as he watched Xiao Mu's hands.

Could such a fragment of a Divine Treasure really be destroyed by mere hands? The youth must still lack experience.

With this thought, he didn't stop Xiao Mu from trying to destroy the damaged Round Bead; after all, it couldn't be destroyed.

The moment Xiao Mu's hands twisted the bead, he immediately felt its firmness. Despite applying force with both hands, the sturdy, damaged Round Bead caused his hands to smart with pain, yet it seemed utterly indestructible.

But then, undeterred, Xiao Mu suddenly thought of something, and his mind stirred.

The Order Edict within him moved, and a Supreme Intention was transmitted directly to his hands through the edict.

This Supreme Intention immediately suppressed the Divine Power within the Round Bead.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Mu grasped the Round Bead and once again twisted it with all his might.

Crack!

The Round Bead was parted by Xiao Mu, turning into two halves in his hands.

"Elder Xu, your injury is light, and I think, half should be enough for your recovery," Xiao Mu said as he handed over a smaller half of the two halves of the damaged Round Bead to Xu Qianwu.

What did I just see? A damaged Divine Treasure actually being twisted apart?

Xu Qianwu's eyes were wide with disbelief, staring fixedly at Xiao Mu's hands, his face a picture of incredulity.

Xiao Mu had actually managed to twist apart a damaged Divine Treasure with his bare hands; how did he do it?

At this moment, the elder temporarily put aside the fact that Xiao Mu had only given him half of the damaged Divine Treasure and asked in amazement, "Xiao Xiao, how did you manage to destroy the damaged Divine Treasure?"

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu then realized something was amiss. His unintentional act had accomplished what others could not, bringing surprise to Xu Qianwu.

There was nothing to hide about the matter, and Xiao Mu said, "Elder Xu, I have a Treasure that can suppress the Divine Power within the Divine Treasure fragments."

"No wonder!"

Xu Qianwu looked deeply at Xiao Mu, his expression revealing shock mixed with envy. No wonder this youngster could obtain so many fragments of Divine Treasure; he truly had some special methods unknown to others.

Clearly, the elder knew that everyone had their secrets, and he didn't press Xiao Mu for specifics about this so-called Treasure.

Reaching out to take the small half of the damaged Divine Treasure from Xiao Mu's left hand, his eyes couldn't help but take a deep look at the remaining small half in Xiao Mu's right hand.

The small half that Xiao Xiao held seemed to be slightly larger than the one in his own hand, haha!

Xiao Mu noticed the peculiarity in Xu Qianwu's gaze, and with a thought, he inconspicuously placed the smaller half of the damaged Divine Treasure from his right hand into the Earth Seal Space.

Without a doubt, the Old Ghost must have set his sights on the remaining small half of the damaged Divine Treasure in his possession.

Xu Qianwu pretended not to notice Xiao Mu's actions and cheerfully began to absorb the small half of the Divine Treasure.

As the Divine Power from the damaged Divine Treasure was absorbed, the faint Black Gas on the old Mountain God Form's left shoulder vanished in the blink of an eye. Indeed, the Divine Power being absorbed from the damaged Divine Treasure was only a small portion thus far.

Rather than stop the absorption upon healing his Divine Spirit's Seat injury, the elder chose to absorb all the remaining Divine Power in the treasure at once.

As the small half of the Purple Bead in Xu Qianwu's hand turned to Ashes, the Golden Light emitted from the form of the Mountain God above the old man's head seemed to become even more dazzling.

Xiao Mu watched this unfold, his mind stirring.

It seemed that he was not the only special one; Xu Qianwu, the Old Ghost, was quite exceptional as well. Merely considering the fact that he could rely on absorbing the Divine Power and Divine Force from Divine Treasures to enhance his own Divine Spirit's Seat, it was something ordinary people could not achieve.

"Xiao Xiao, let's go! This old man will lead you on a glorious rampage! Hahaha!" With the Divine Treasure fully absorbed, Xu Qianwu suddenly burst into laughter, his body radiating an exuberant spirit as he waved to Xiao Mu and launched his Escape Art, heading directly southwest.

In the southwest direction, a Divine Spirit realm powerhouse from the Curse Gate was speeding incredibly fast, relying on the Earth Escape Technique.
