Having sensed the energy waves created by the huge octopus-like Resentful Spirit, Shadow Elder looked at its shadow in front of him, raised his head, and stared blankly at it. Then, his heart turned ice cold.
He had never been so close to death before.
This Resentful Spirit King was at the peak of the King Realm.
Those who were at the peak of the King Realm were all dominators, and there were only a few of them in the entire Ziwei Star Zone, let alone here.
Moreover, the Resentful Spirit King in front of Shadow Elder was very powerful, and it could control and order countless Resentful Spirits. When it gave an order, the crazy Resentful Spirit would retreat like an army.
That was what made it more frightening.
Shadow Elder knew that his life was in danger.
He had no chance of winning against an opponent at this level.
After thinking for a moment, he directly abandoned Feng Xingyun, the Nether Ghost, and turned around to escape. In the face of the real threat of death, he could no longer protect others, and he had to save his own life first.
“Shadow Elder, you…”
Feng Xingyun was almost scared to death.
He just couldn’t believe that his protector had abandoned him like this.
However, the next moment, Shadow Elder, who had fled less than one hundred meters away, was caught by the huge tentacles that appeared from all directions. Those strange tentacles had inexplicable power. Even if Shadow Elder turned into mist, he still could not escape.
Like a wild beast that had fallen into a trap, Shadow Elder screamed and roared as he struggle desperately at the last moment. However, he was like a pitiful person who had fallen into a swamp. The more he struggled, the deeper he would sink. The sounds of his screams and cries gradually faded away.
Li Mu finally found an opportunity.
He seized the opportunity and came to Feng Xingyun.
“Li Yidao, you…” Feng Xingyun had lost one arm and one leg, and his strength had been greatly reduced. When he saw Li Mu, he was scared out of his wits and had no fighting spirit at all. He still wanted to explain something to Li Mu and beg Li Mu to let him go.
However, Li Mu had long lost interest in talking to such a person.
His broadsword flashed.
He killed Feng Xingyun mercilessly.
Feng Xingyun, the number two Heavenly Legend of the Ziwei Star Zone and a top genius of the younger generation known for his wisdom and scheming, had been beheaded.
Li Mu blew off the blood on the blade of his broadsword.
However, Feng Xingyun did not die after his head was cut off. After all, he was a Heavenly Legend in the King Realm.
His head rolled in the air. With a flattering look on his face, he begged, “Li Yidao, wait a minute. I have something to tell you. If you let me go, I will definitely repay you. I will do anything that you ask me to do…”
Before his voice faded away…
“Really? What a pity. I just want you to die… in a very miserable way,” Li Mu said.
He raised his foot high in the air and kicked the head into the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits in the distance.
Miserable screams rang out.
The Resentful Spirits gnawed at the head, which finally turned into a pale skull.
Then, Li Mu kicked Feng Xingyun’s body into the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits.
In an instant, the body became a skeleton.
The number two Heavenly Legend that had been famous for over ten years in the Ziwei Star Zone had completely died.
Not far away, Shadow Elder was caught by the octopus-like Resentful Spirit King, and he could not even protect himself. Seeing what happened, he could only sigh helplessly. Half of his essence, blood, and flesh had been taken by the huge tentacles that tied him up.
Shadow Elder’s body shriveled up rapidly, which was visible to the naked eye.
Finally, it turned into a black, dried corpse.
As soon as the tentacles released the grip, the dried corpse immediately turned into powders that dissipated in the air.
The elder and youngster of the Nether Ghost Clan had completely died.
After devouring Shadow Elder, the huge octopus-like Resentful Spirit King howled contentedly.
Li Mu clearly felt that its aura seemed to have become even stronger.
Even though it was still at the peak of the King Realm and hadn’t made a real breakthrough, its strength had been improved.
Obviously, this Resentful Spirit King had sensed Li Mu’s existence.
It sized Li Mu up with its huge eyes. It had a natural fear of something and a very strange look in its eyes. In the end, it did not take any action against Li Mu.
Li Mu did not know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that this huge octopus-like monster was very curious about him.
“Ho!”
It threw back its head and roared.
After this Resentful Spirit King devoured Shadow Elder, its cultivation level improved bit by bit, which made it feel very satisfied.
After a long lonely time, it seemed that cultivation levels of Resentful Spirit Kings had reached the limit. Only by devouring the essence, blood, and flesh of pract.i.tioners in the King Realm could they increase their strength. Low-level pract.i.tioners, such as ordinary Heavenly Legends, were meaningless and useless to them, even if they devoured hundreds of such pract.i.tioners.
It was no longer a matter of quant.i.tative change causing qualitative change.
That was also one of the reasons why the Resentful Spirit Kings did not show up when almost all the Resentful Spirits under the ground were disturbed.
Later, Li Mu lured this octopus-like Resentful Spirit King out with a special scheme.
It had known the taste of blood and flesh. It fixed its eyes on Huangfu Chengdao and Guan Zhen in the distance.
Other than Li Mu, they were the only two pieces of “food” left, which were very attractive to Resentful Spirits, especially the Resentful Spirit Kings.
Therefore, the huge octopus-like Resentful Spirit King rushed towards Huangfu Chengdao and Guan Zhen.
At the same time, several other terrifying auras began to drift about.
As Li Mu expected, several other Resentful Spirit Kings soon appeared one after another.
The first one was a huge black wolf with three heads.
The second one was a giant bear with burning flames all over its body.
The third one was a blood python as big as a hill.
There was also a huge one-legged bird.
Having sensed the change that the octopus-like Resentful Spirit King underwent after it devoured Shadow Elder, they were all intrigued. They wanted to devour the flesh and blood of pract.i.tioners in the King Realm to improve their cultivation levels.
The energy contained in the flesh and blood of pract.i.tioners in the King Realm like Guan Zhen was especially attractive to white-bone Resentful Spirit Kings.
For this reason, Huangfu Chengdao and Guan Zhen were soon surrounded by them.
Guan Zhen sensed the terrifying auras from all directions, and his face turned pale.
When Li Mu saw other Resentful Spirit Kings, he immediately stepped back subconsciously and stayed far enough from them to avoid being spotted and attacked.
Even though he knew that the Resentful Spirit Kings were extremely afraid of the power of the Death Qi of the Ghost Rally Star, he did not want to take the risk of getting too close to them.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
“This power… Holy smoke. why is it so?”
Guan Zhen, who was running like crazy, immediately sensed the auras of formidable enemies. He was shocked and desperate. There was more than one Resentment Spirit King much stronger than him in terms of cultivation level.
He had already sensed Shadow Elder’s death.
He grieved over the death of his companion.
He became even more nervous and fl.u.s.tered, and fear welled up inside his heart.
He fled madly with the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan and even burned his Source Energy and life. However, when he fled tens of thousands of meters away, the tentacles of the huge octopus-like Resentful Spirit King caught and struck him in the air.
A familiar scene occurred.
The five Resentful Spirit Kings played with Guan Zhen and Huangfu Chengdao like cats playing with mice.
Back then, Li Mu was trapped and played by them just like this.
However, the physical cultivation of Guan Zhen and Huangfu Chengdao was obviously inferior to that of Li Mu.
Guan Zhen’s cultivation level was nothing in front of the five Resentful Spirit Kings. After they dealt a few blows, blood oozed from Guan Zhen’s mouth and nose, and his body was about to break.
As for Huangfu Chengdao, blood was oozing from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, and his body was covered with cracks like those on the surface of porcelain ware.
Li Mu stood in the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits in the distance and watched the scene with the pleasure of revenge.
In the end, he returned to the tactical deployment of Death Qi that he had created. He planned to leave with Ying Yuanyuan, who was severely injured, and Liao Bi’ting, who was already dead.
He feared that the five Resentful Spirit Kings might become interested in the two girls’ flesh and blood.
It was just an experiment. Until now, Li Mu could not guarantee that his Death Qi of the Ghost Rally Star could stop and intimidate them.
However, just when Li Mu was about to leave carrying the two girls in his arms, something unexpected happened.
Boom!
A loud sound came from the sky.
Then, he saw a giant palm made up of golden runes in the sky, which looked like a golden sun, emitting countless light rays. It streaked through the sky, as if it had reached out from the depths of the universe, and easily pushed the five Resentful Spirit Kings away.
This enormous hand, which was like the hand of a G.o.d, grabbed Guan Zhen and Huangfu Chengdao into the palm and then retracted.
“What is that?”
Li Mu was greatly shocked.
“What a sudden and unexpected event!
“That enormous hand is obviously protecting the two people from the Heavenly Deity Clan.”
The enormous hand took Guan Zhen and Huangfu Chengdao out of the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits and placed them in a safe area. Then, it did not stop moving. Instead, it reached out again toward Li Mu.
“d.a.m.n it!”
Li Mu cried to himself and turned around to escape.
Li Mu felt the undisguised killing intent of that enormous hand.
The giant golden hand had endless power and an indescribable force of attraction. It gathered the Taoist Principles and laws within a radius of hundreds of miles, creating a vortex that pulled Li Mu toward the center of the giant palm.
Li Mu was falling into an unprecedented crisis.
No matter how hard he struggled, he was unable to escape.
“Am I going to die here?”
He was shocked and angry.
Just then, an ancient and mysterious voice came through time and s.p.a.ce from the summit of a blue mountain in the distance.
“You’re finally unable to restrain yourself, right?”
A beam of sword light darted out and hit the enormous hand, instantly smas.h.i.+ng it to ashes that dissipated in the air.
Li Mu felt that his body became light. He finally escaped.
“Come over here.”
That voice rang out again.
Li Mu hesitated for a while and then flew straight to the blue mountain carrying the two girls in his arms.
That blue mountain was the mountain of bones.
On the summit of that mountain, the “dead G.o.d”, who was over one hundred meters tall, was sitting cross-legged in the sea of clouds. On his side was a long ancient sword, which was about the same size as him, inserted into the ground.
He was the one who spoke just now.
Li Mu landed beside him.
“Thank you, Senior.”
He immediately expressed his grat.i.tude.
Although Li Mu didn’t know why this “dead G.o.d” saved him just now, he understood that at least the dead G.o.d had good intentions. He could feel that the dead G.o.d intended to help him.
However, the “dead G.o.d” did not respond to Li Mu.
A battle that had been prepared for a long time had begun at this moment.
Boom!
A strange black chain ripped through the sky. With a long howl, the giant dragon-eating ape stirred the sea of clouds and rushed toward the “dead G.o.d”.
At the same time, the battle cries of giant demonic corpses rang out.
A real great battle beyond Li Mu’s imagination broke out.
