Earth Meridian Realm

The ghost took control of the man and sat down where Gong Li had been sitting before.

“You think these four races have been able to stand at the pinnacle of the Inner Realm for so long because of what? It’s all thanks to these disgusting methods. I’ve never thought much of them.”

Xu Mu remembered his Divine Eye. As long as this person was right in front of him, no matter how he disguised himself or what formations he had on his body, his identity could still be seen through.

He activated the Divine Eye to see if he could uncover this person’s true identity.

After all, the person before him was using someone else’s body. Something akin to a soul had entered this man’s body.

Name: Yan Luosha

Title: the Fourth Seat of Eternal Life

Favorability: 0

Destiny Level: 6 (Maximum Level: 10)

Xu Mu was inwardly shocked. He had not expected it to actually work. This Divine Eye was truly formidable.

Since he could view this person’s information, Xu Mu opened the details to check his cultivation realm.

Realm: Earth Vein

Physique: 100

Spiritual Power: 5,100

When Xu Mu saw this information, a huge wave surged through his heart. A spiritual power of 5,100—this was even higher than his own.

How could he be this powerful?

And this was only the Fourth Seat of Eternal Life. What about the first three seats?

Xu Mu finally understood. As for the so-called four great races, unless they joined forces, they could never rival Eternal Life. In a one-on-one confrontation, none of the four great races would stand a chance.

However, this person’s physique was only 100, which was somewhat beyond Xu Mu’s expectations.

Perhaps this value only represented the body he currently occupied. If he returned to the body inside the coffin, his physique should be much higher.

Of course, that was only Xu Mu’s speculation.

One thing was certain: he had truly stepped into a high-level battlefield this time.

Gong Li came to Xu Mu’s side, but she did not attack him. Instead, she crooked a finger at the middle-aged man beside Xu Mu.

Just like the person before him, the man immediately lay facedown on the ground and became a stool for her.

Gong Li sat on his back and asked with a smile, “Master, what should we do now?”

“We’re not as afraid of death as they are. As soon as they break the formation, we’ll follow everyone else deeper inside.”

Yan Luosha spoke calmly. “As long as we confirm that there’s a Divine General here, the Divine Mother’s body must be here as well.”

Xu Mu’s mind raced when he heard this. What exactly was the Divine Mother’s body?

Could it be that the current Divine Mother was like a vegetable, not yet awakened, and had been hiding here all along?

However, Xu Mu did not dare ask at the moment.

The Earth Vein realm—this was a supreme level of power beyond the ninth rank, standing at the pinnacle of the Inner Realm.

Who knew what astonishing abilities they possessed?

“Master, in that case, I’ll continue keeping watch over there. The moment they break through the formation, I’ll come and inform you.”

Gong Li stood up with a smile. “I just obtained a tool with powerful concealment abilities. This time, I should be able to get even closer.”

“Mm.”

Yan Luosha nodded. Afterward, his soul floated out of the man’s body and returned to the coffin carried by the bald man.

The person who had been possessed earlier lay limply on the ground. But in the next moment, he climbed back to his feet and stood there like a puppet.

“Let’s go!”

Gong Li waved her hand. Everyone around her followed at her side as they headed into the distance.

Xu Mu imitated the controlled people around him, afraid that he might make a mistake. Only after they had moved far enough away from that Earth Vein expert did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Under Gong Li’s lead, they soon arrived at a hillside. There was a cave there.

Xu Mu followed the others inside. Since the cave was narrow, he was squeezed together with the people around him. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he grabbed their wrists and felt for their pulses.

He discovered that they were not dead.

They still had pulses, but judging by the dullness in their eyes, they appeared extremely vacant.

When they reached the deepest part of the cave, the space gradually widened, and the air became increasingly hot and dry.

Through his perception, Xu Mu sensed that about a kilometer ahead lay a massive area of lava.

At the center of the lava was a ten-meter-square stone platform. A person in armor stood on top of it.

Gong Li raised her hand with practiced ease. Among the more than twenty people around them, two suddenly flew forward.

One of them was an old man. The moment he landed on the stone platform, the armored figure opposite him immediately attacked.

The other was a young man who hovered in midair without making a move.

Xu Mu stared ahead. Gong Li was standing where she was, and she seemed to have frozen as well.

He had no idea what was happening, and he did not dare attack the woman on his own. All he could do was remain where he was and quietly wait.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two people on the stone platform fought relentlessly. Judging by the power they released, both of them appeared to be ninth-rank experts.

However, Gong Li’s ninth-rank expert was clearly more intelligent, while the armored figure formed by the formation seemed somewhat dull-witted.

In a short time, the armor covering the figure was shattered, and blood resembling molten lava flowed from its wounds.

Seeing this, the ninth-rank elder quickly retreated. The young man who had been hovering in the air descended onto the stone platform.

“Roar!”

The armored figure let out a furious bellow before suddenly transforming into a pool of lava that surged toward the young man.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, magma engulfed the young man. He slowly sank beneath the stone platform and into the lava below.

As the armored man vanished, a black hole appeared on the stone platform.

Gong Li, who had remained in place the entire time, began moving again. She controlled the people around her and led them onto the high platform, where they crawled into the black hole.

Xu Mu had followed behind them the whole time. He had never expected the formation here to be so brutal.

A person’s life had to be sacrificed to open the exit. That was why Gong Li had controlled so many people.

She had used a ninth-tier expert as the vanguard. When the armored man was preparing to die alongside them, she immediately switched to someone of a lower level.

He had to admit that he had been quite lucky.

If Gong Li hadn’t taken an interest in his concealment ability, then with his current cultivation, she definitely would have treated him as cannon fodder and fed him to the formation.

After passing through the black hole, they appeared in a forested mountain range.

This place was clearly different. Battles were breaking out nonstop in every direction, and Xu Mu couldn’t even determine how many people were fighting nearby.

Obviously, most of those who had entered earlier had made it here. This region was the true battlefield.

“Old Chen, are you there?”

Xu Mu sent a voice transmission to Chen Xuan.

“Brother Mu, I’m here. I just followed the others in. That formation earlier was terrifying. We had to drag someone in to die with the opponent before the exit would open.” Chen Xuan’s voice transmission reached Xu Mu’s ears as well. “Brother Mu, where are you now? I’ll come find you.”

“I just came in too, and I don’t know where I am. Don’t come looking for me. It’s dangerous here.”

Xu Mu immediately sent a voice transmission back to Chen Xuan.

Under Gong Li’s lead, the group arrived in a forested area.

There was a cave here, and Gong Li hid inside it.

Afterward, the more than twenty people around them began moving at the same time. They carried boulders, weeds, and branches over to block the cave entrance.

The people then scattered in all directions. Gathering together would make them too easy to spot.

Just then, the cave suddenly shattered and turned to dust.

Gong Li emerged from within. “That’s not right, that’s not right! You weren’t controlled by me!”

Her slender finger pointed in Xu Mu’s direction.

Xu Mu’s body trembled as he finally remembered that Gong Li had intended to use his concealment ability to investigate the situation. She had clearly tried to control him just now, but had failed.

Now that he had been exposed, Xu Mu said nothing more. He could handle an eighth-tier expert like her. As long as that Earth Vein didn’t show up, he would be fine.

“Die!”

Gong Li lunged at Xu Mu in an instant.
