"Our hometown is behind us. We have no place to retreat. Fight, fight, fight, shed the last drop of blood for the Heavenly Court."
A voice echoed on the road ahead.
In the boundless desert, sand danced in the wind. On top of a tall sand dune, there was a huge god that was thirty feet tall. It was supporting a broken battle flag that did not fall. It stood at the top of the sand dune and blocked the way.
But in fact, this god was already dead.
There was a silver nail in between his eyebrows, and it pierced out from the back of his head, suppressing the primordial spirit of this god. However, his cultivation was too high, and the battle intent and obsession in his heart did not dissipate. Even after millions of years had passed, it still floated around the sand dune.
Li Mu and the others could not pass under the sand dune.
This was because there was a formless murderous aura circulating around the deity's body. It was like a killing zone. Even if a small stone was thrown in, it would cause chaos to flow in reverse. In an instant, it would be a dead end. The obsession and fighting spirit of this deity was also extremely terrifying. It could suppress the three souls and seven spirits of a martial arts expert.
His body was like a city wall, blocking the way. It was as if he alone could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies. It was as if even the ruler of the world would not be able to get past him.
"Fight, fight!"
"To protect the ancestral land, we must fight for every inch of land."
His obsession and consciousness materialized the roar at the last moment of his life. After countless years, it still resounded between heaven and earth and did not dissipate.
For Li Mu and the others, the most terrible thing was that this god blocked the way to the "Path".
Li Mu observed again and again and confirmed that the Path was in front of them. They had to pass this sand dune and walk past this dead god. There was no other way.
Obviously, there was some deviation in the Path passed down by that immortal a thousand years ago. Maybe he could rely on his strong cultivation to walk through this desert, but the strength of Li Mu and the others could not.
"What should we do?"
Li Mu and the others looked at each other.
They did not expect that the end of this Path turned out to be a dead end.
"The elders of the other sects also have maps. Sooner or later, they will find this place. At this time, they must have set foot on the Path and come to the world of the ginseng fruit tree," Qing Feng rubbed his temples and said, "Basically, we have no way out."
Everyone's heart sank.
Qing Feng's wisdom had long been close to that of a demon. Everything that had happened before had already proved his judgment. What he said was definitely right.
The Immortal Path was a one-way street. If they turned back now, they would definitely run into the people of the outer space sects, which would be even more dangerous.
Li Mu looked at the Four Men's Symphony Orchestra.
The four of them immediately felt their hearts beating like drums, and they were terrified to the extreme.
They instinctively felt their fate. They would be used as cannon fodder to explore the way and force their way through this desert.
"Master, we …" The hook-nosed man smiled bitterly as if he wanted to beg for something.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Say no more."
The four of them felt their hearts turn cold.
But at this moment, he saw Li Mu say to Wang Shiyu, "Xiaoyu, lend me your Purple-ribbon Holy Robe."
Wang Shiyu was stunned. With a stir of her mind, the Purple-ribbon Holy Robe appeared on Li Mu's body and turned into a purple robe, covering his whole body.
The vertical eye between Li Mu's eyebrows opened to observe the terrain and the murderous field. Then, he walked towards the sand dune step by step.
"Third Brother …" Guo Yuqing wanted to stop him, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he didn't say them out. He just said, "Be careful."
Li Mu nodded and carefully walked towards the desert.
In the end, he didn't make up his mind to let the Four Men's Orchestra be cannon fodder.
On the one hand, after torturing these four guys, he actually had a little sympathy for them. It was quite convenient to use them, so it was necessary to leave a trace of hope for the Hun Yuan Sect. On the other hand, Li Mu could see that even if he let these four guys go to the mine, it would be meaningless and they wouldn't be able to find out anything.
As he got closer and closer to the sand dune, Li Mu felt a sharp aura that almost tore him apart through the Purple-ribbon Holy Robe. The purple robe was densely covered with tiny Taoist figures, which were flowing to resist the external force.
When he arrived at the foot of the sand dune, he opened his Third Eye to the fullest and pushed his spiritual force to the limit. He looked around for possible gaps and flaws in the murderous field and found a safe route.
He walked slowly step by step as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.
At the same time, he passed on the structure of the Gravitational Field observed by his Third Eye to Qing Feng, the little attendant, through a secret method. Qing Feng's attainments in tactical deployments and Gravitational Field had already surpassed his master, so he could provide great help to Li Mu.
"Do three, one to the right, forward, and then two to the right, forward … back one …" Qing Feng's voice kept ringing in Li Mu's ears.
Finally, it took Li Mu two hours to reach the sand dune and the left side of the dead god.
Looking around, he was shocked by the scene behind the sand dune.
The rusty bronze chariot, the broken black iron spaceship, the sun disc that was hundreds of feet long, the broken magic weapons, and the broken ancient armors all fell in the desert behind the sand dune. The bodies of the dead warriors were half submerged in the yellow sand. Some had lost their flesh and blood and became golden skeletons, emitting immortal divine fluctuations, while some were still full of flesh and blood, but their primordial spirits were broken …
This was a terrible battlefield of gods and demons.
He could vaguely guess that this was a battle division of the ancient Celestial Court. In order to protect the ancestral land and fight against foreign enemies, they once fought to the death without retreating. In the end, all of them died in this desert.
It was possible that in the past, this place was not a desert, but an important city of the ancient Celestial Court. In the war, it was destroyed by the power of gods and demons, and the prosperous city became a desert, covering the dead warriors.
Now there was another problem.
In this desert, there were too many dead warriors, and there were also the obsessions of their lives and the residual power of the ancient battlefield. There was also great danger. Although it was not as dangerous as the god's sand dune under his feet, it would take a long time to pass.
Li Mu was about to continue to open a safe road when he suddenly felt something. When he looked back, his Third Eye could see hundreds of miles away, and he saw several groups of people in the distance. They were approaching at an extremely fast speed, galloping on the ground like thunder.
The people of the extraterrestrial sects were coming.
Li Mu's heart tightened. He had no time to open a new road, so he immediately turned back.
"The people of the extraterrestrial sects are coming … Let's go."
He returned the Purple-ribbon Holy Robe to Wang Shiyu, and then led the others to activate their respective Taoist Treasures. With the treasure light protecting their bodies, they directly entered the desert according to the path they had just explored and began to climb the hill.
In the field of killing intent, under the cover of the gods' obsessions and fighting intent, everyone walked very slowly like a child carrying a heavy load.
Especially Wang Shiyu, Qing Feng, and the others, who had only walked a few hundred meters with the support of Li Mu and Guo Yuqing, were already pale and sweating profusely.
Li Mu looked back and could see the pursuers flying over in the distance with the naked eye.
An idea came to him. On the premise of not affecting the safe route that had been explored, he set up a small illusory deployment to block the gods' obsessions, fighting intent, and voices.
At this time, the people of the extraterrestrial sects in the distance finally arrived under the sand dune.
They were from the Tianyi Palace. Led by an elder in the Soldier Realm, dozens of disciples, and eight figures in black imperial robes, came to the sand dune.
"It's them. He is Li Mu." A middle-aged man who looked very similar to the emperor of the Northern Song pointed to Li Mu and the others who were about to climb up the sand dune and said, "It's him. He secretly killed Senior Fellow Apprentice Yue …"
A trace of cold light flashed across the eyes of the elder in the Soldier Realm.
"A little aborigine is inferior to an insect. How dare he secretly kill the disciples of the Tianyi Palace?"
"Kill him." The elder in the Soldier Realm didn't want to talk nonsense, so he directly said.
"Yes."
Two disciples of the Tianyi Palace who had passed the Life and Death Bridge in the Second Mortal Realm drew their swords out of their sheaths, exerted their strength under their feet, and quickly flew out, chasing after Li Mu and the others, like arrows leaving the bow.
However, when they just rushed to the yellow sand area, an extremely terrible aura surged, as if the sleeping god of killing was awakened.
"Puff."
The blood mist scattered.
The two disciples of the Tianyi Palace who had passed the Life and Death Bridge seemed to have evaporated in an instant, leaving only a cloud of blood mist. Even the swords in their hands, the storage devices on their bodies, and so on were instantly crushed into powder.
"What's going on?"
The pupils of the elder in the Soldier Realm of the Tianyi Palace suddenly shrank, and he was shocked.
The other disciples, as well as the eight middle-aged men in royal robes, were also stunned.
"What happened?"
"Retreat. There is a great killing field in the yellow sand …" The elder in the Soldier Realm shouted in shock. He focused his Magic Eyes and saw through the illusory tactical deployment set by Li Mu at a glance. He sensed the fighting intent and killing intent emitted by the deity on the top of the sand dune.
This kind of fighting intent and killing intent also made him feel a burst of horror.
"Want to kill me?" At the top of the sand dune, Li Mu stood on the left side of the dead deity, looked back, sneered, and provoked, "If you are not afraid of death, come after me."
After that, his figure disappeared behind the sand dune.
"Arrogant little bug, you are not qualified to provoke me." The eyes of the elder in the Soldier Realm of the Tianyi Palace were cold, and he had already put Li Mu on the list of people who must die.
"Elder Sun, what should we do?" asked a disciple of the Tianyi Palace.
They also understood what was going on. This sand dune was very dangerous.
"Humph, you want to stop me with such a small trick?" The elder in the Soldier Realm focused his Magic Eyes and peeped at this area. After looking for a while, he said, "Follow me." He also stimulated his cultivation in the Soldier Realm, chose the weak spot in the killing field, and strode forward.
The others followed closely behind.
"Haha, after all, the aborigines are aborigines. This Li Mu is so stupid that he actually wants to stop us with the help of a dead body. Elder Sun, you are so powerful that you can …" A disciple of the Tianyi Palace laughed and teased.
However, before his voice died away, a flash of killing intent flashed.
With a puff, the disciple of the Tianyi Palace turned into a mist of blood on the spot and drifted away.
"Not good." The elder in the Soldier Realm changed his face and said, "Retreat, retreat quickly."
"Puff, puff, puff!"
The killing intent and fighting intent surged, and another three disciples of the Tianyi Palace were strangled into a mist of blood on the spot and drifted away.
The others desperately retreated, still in a state of shock.
"This is just a warning. Get back to outer space, otherwise, this will be your burial place." Li Mu's voice came from far behind the sand dune, full of strong provocation.
The elder in the Soldier Realm of the Tianyi Palace looked livid.
He was careless.
Li Mu had done something in the killing field and covered up some things, causing the elder to make mistakes in his deduction. He took a wrong step and immediately fell into the trap, losing four elite disciples.
