Land of the Fallen Gods.
While Li Mu and the rest were silently moving towards the center, most of the forces that had entered this place were like headless flies, wandering aimlessly in the fog. From time to time, someone would die in the spatial cracks and the mouths of wandering souls.
However, there were also many people like Li Mu who were heading towards the center with a clear goal in mind.
Ming Yi led the Hall of Souls' forces and followed behind the white-clothed lady respectfully. A page of the Heavenly Book floated in front of the white-clothed lady. The Heavenly Book floated forward at a steady speed.
Somewhere in the Land of the Fallen Gods, King Yanluo, who wore a black dragon robe and a crown of pearls and jade, placed a brush in his palm. He formed a seal with one hand, and the brush spun slowly, also pointing towards the center of the Land of the Fallen Gods.
Elsewhere, two figures were walking side by side. An elder asked a middle-aged ghost cultivator beside him, "Do you really know where the Heavenly Book is?"
The middle-aged ghost cultivator said calmly, "Don't worry. This King's subordinate once fought with that ghost cultivator. Although this King can't divine the Heavenly Book, I can divine her location. If we find her, won't we be able to find the Heavenly Book?"
The elder asked, "Are you sure that with her cultivation, she can enter the center of the Land of the Fallen Gods?"
The middle-aged ghost cultivator said, "This is the Ghost Region. With the Heavenly Book, she won't die so easily. Let's go. Don't let others get ahead of us …"
…
In the center of the Land of the Fallen Gods, a huge whirlpool was spinning rapidly.
The fog in a radius of thousands of miles was attracted by this and tightly surrounded the Land of the Fallen Gods.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this was not a formation of air currents, but a spatial storm. The power of space here was extremely violent and chaotic. If one was accidentally sucked in, even a Sixth or Seventh Realm cultivator would have no chance of survival.
At a certain moment, countless figures suddenly walked out of the fog near the edge of the storm.
Ming Yi looked at the spatial storm in front of him and couldn't help but feel fear. He respectfully asked the white-clothed lady beside him, "Fifth Ancestor, is the Heavenly Book inside? How should we enter?"
The white-clothed lady didn't say much. She only said calmly, "Wait."
After receiving the order, Ming Yi ordered the Hall of Souls members to sit cross-legged and wait quietly.
Not long after, a figure walked out of the fog.
It was a man wearing a pearl and jade crown. He was one of the Ghost Realm's Four Great Ghost Kings, Yama King. After seeing the Soul Palace people, a trace of vigilance appeared on his face. He maintained a distance from them and looked at the storm in the center of the Ghost Realm with a thoughtful expression.
After another half a day, two more figures appeared from the fog in a certain direction.
The Yama King took a look and discovered that it was the Asura King and the Yaksha King. Thus, of the five major factions of the Soul Palace, only the Rakshasa King had not come.
The old man looked around and said, "King Yanluo, even the Soul Hall is here. The Rakshasa King probably won't let go of this opportunity. However, it's not easy to enter this spatial storm …"
After several forces arrived, none of them made any movements. They just waited silently.
This spatial storm was also fatal to seventh realm cultivators like them. Before they figured out a way to enter, no one dared to act rashly.
Several hours later, some movement came from a certain direction of the fog, and a few figures walked out from it.
"Rakshasa King, he really came."
"His aura is a little strange … is he injured?"
…
The person who came was the Rakshasa King. Behind him was a man and three women. The Yama King looked at him indifferently and said, "Old ghost, you also came …"
The Rakshasa King looked back at him and said, "If even you can come, why can't I?"
From the corner of his eyes, he saw the white-clothed woman in front of the Soul Hall group. Thinking of the terrifying encounter from before, he began to feel fear in his heart.
However, when he remembered Li Mu's instructions, he forcefully suppressed his fear. He walked to the Yama King's side and sent a message with his Divine Sense, "That page of the Heavenly Book is in the spatial storm. None of us can enter. What's the point of waiting here?"
The Yama King looked at him indifferently. This was a fact that he had to admit. He knew that the page of the Heavenly Book was in the depths of the Fallen Gods Land, but he didn't expect it to fall into the eye of the storm.
Even with their cultivation, entering this place was a ninety percent chance of death. It was not worth risking their lives for a page of the Heavenly Book.
However, they had already come this far. They were unwilling to give up just like that.
Therefore, they waited here in a stalemate with the storm.
The Rakshasa King continued, "We can't get that page of the Heavenly Book for now. However, there's still one page of the Heavenly Book in the Ghost Domain. Old ghost, are you interested?"
The Yama King sneered, "If there's such a good thing, would you think of me?"
The Rakshasa King explained, "If I can get that page of the Heavenly Book alone, I naturally won't look for you. However, I was seriously injured because of that page of the Heavenly Book and almost died. That's why I asked you to join forces. After we get it, we'll comprehend the Heavenly Book together. How about it?"
The Yama King looked at the Rakshasa King, whose breathing was unstable. It was obvious that he was seriously injured. He frowned and asked, "Is what you said true?"
The Rakshasa King said unwillingly, "If it wasn't for the fact that I can't do it alone, I wouldn't have looked for you. That page of the Heavenly Book is with the white-clothed woman from the Soul Hall. Her cultivation is very strong. I'm afraid only the four of us can defeat her."
The Yama King looked in the direction of the Soul Hall. His gaze turned cold as he asked, "You dare to attack the demonic path?"
The Rakshasa King sneered and said, "Don't forget where we are. Even if the people from the Soul Hall died here, who would know that we did it? The unknown lands are very dangerous. Perhaps they died in the spatial storm or the soul tide. We can take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Soul Hall. Otherwise, they will target us sooner or later …"
The Rakshasa King's words made the Yama King fall into a short period of contemplation.
The Soul Hall in the Ghost Region was disliked by the four major factions. They even hated it.
They had the backing of the demonic path and acted recklessly in the Ghost Region. They invaded the territories of the four major factions and even recruited many experts that originally belonged to them. Eliminating the Soul Hall was definitely something that the four major factions would love to see.
After a while, he looked at the Rakshasa King and asked, "What do you want to do?"
The Rakshasa King said, "The two of us can't do this either. We have to call those two old ghosts together …"
The two looked at each other and slowly walked toward the Asura King and Yaksha King who were not far away.
Li Mu looked at the four Seventh Realm Ghost Kings who were communicating silently. His gaze was calm and without any ripples.
Before coming here, he knew that the expert with the Heavenly Book would definitely be waiting for him here. As long as he appeared here, a great battle would be unavoidable.
Rather than fighting to the death with this person, it was better to unite the major factions of the Ghost Region and deal with her together.
The Soul Hall of the demonic path was also a thorn in the eyes of the major factions in the Ghost Region. The Rakshasa King and the others wanted nothing more than to get rid of it quickly. They had been enduring because of the demonic path's strength.
This was a chance for them to work together to eliminate the Soul Hall. It was in line with the common interests of the four major factions of the Ghost Region.
In another place, the four Ghost Kings were surrounded by a layer of faint black fog. It was unknown what they were discussing. Gui Yi felt uneasy, but the white-clothed woman's expression remained calm.
Her gaze looked into the depths of the fog as if she was waiting for something.
The other aura of the Heavenly Book had not appeared for a long time.
After a long time, she retracted her gaze and glanced at the young people brought by the Rakshasa King. Her gaze suddenly stopped on one of them.
Then, she slowly walked toward Li Mu.
After she walked dozens of steps, a strong magic power fluctuation suddenly came from where the four Ghost Kings were gathered. Then, four figures appeared in the four directions of the white-clothed woman. The Asura King, the Yaksha King, the Yanluo King, and the Rakshasa King attacked at the same time. Four supernatural powers bombarded the white-clothed woman.
"What do you want to do?!"
Gui Yi was some distance away from the white-clothed woman and reacted instantly. He roared and was about to step forward when a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The familiar spear and the unfamiliar young face. Gui Yi was shocked and blurted out, "It's you!"
Boom!
The four seventh realm cultivators attacked at the same time. The white-clothed woman was drowned in the light of the supernatural powers. A huge pit with a radius of a hundred feet appeared in the solid ground. When the dust dispersed, the huge pit was empty.
At the same time, Li Mu suddenly felt a sense of danger. His hair stood on end. At this moment, he took the risk of sending Shangguan Li, Lin Wan, and Xiao Yu into the cave residence and stepped out at the same time.
His figure disappeared on the spot, but another figure appeared behind him.
The white-clothed woman looked at Li Mu and said indifferently, "You finally appeared."
Seeing the white-clothed woman appear in another place, the four Ghost Kings were in disbelief. Just now, they had joined forces to seal the space. Logically speaking, this woman from the Hall of Souls should not have been able to dodge. However, what happened just now overturned their understanding.
Li Mu was not surprised. Even an elder like Gui Yi had to be respectful to this white-clothed woman. She must be an old monster like Xue He who had inherited memories for tens of thousands of years. Their strength could not be judged by common sense.
Li Mu asked directly, "You are one of the Five Ancestors of the Demonic Way?"
The white-clothed woman was silent for a moment. Her expression was somewhat regretful, but also seemed to be reminiscing. She said, "It seems that Xue He did die in your hands."
Li Mu said, "He killed countless living beings just for his own cultivation. He deserved to die."
The woman stretched out her hand. Her fingernails grew rapidly, emitting a faint cold light like ten sharp swords. Seeing this, Devil King's expression changed drastically. He frantically warned, "Be careful. Her fingernails can directly injure us. Don't let her touch you!"
Just as Devil King finished speaking, the Sun Shooting Bow appeared in Li Mu's hand. He poured all of his magic power into the bow, locked onto the white-clothed woman, and shot out a golden arrow.
The strength of these ten-thousand-year-old monsters could not be judged by common sense. Xue He was only at the sixth realm, and Li Mu was already having a hard time dealing with him. This white-clothed woman's cultivation was clearly at the seventh realm. Li Mu did not hesitate and used his strongest attack.
The arrow was shot out silently, but a black mark appeared in the space where the arrow passed. This was the sign of space shattering.
At this moment, the four Ghost Kings' expressions changed. Even though they were far away, they could still feel the power of this arrow.
If this arrow landed on their bodies, their souls would definitely be destroyed.
The appearance of the Sun Shooting Bow caused the white-clothed woman's face to reveal an unprecedentedly serious expression.
The speed of the arrow was extremely fast. Almost at the same time Li Mu shot it, it had already appeared in front of her chest, making it impossible for her to dodge.
However, the white-clothed woman did not dodge. Just as the arrow was about to pierce through her chest, her left arm drew an afterimage and accurately caught the golden arrow.
Boom!
The arrow exploded, forming a black hole where it was. The white-clothed woman's left arm disappeared into the black hole in an instant, but her body teleported to another place.
Li Mu did not seem too surprised. The Sun Shooting Bow was powerful, but it was not invincible. Back then, he had not even been able to deal with Xue He with a single arrow, let alone the white-clothed woman who was even stronger than Xue He.
The white-clothed woman did not care about her missing left arm at all. She looked at Li Mu and said indifferently, "Although I don't know why the Sun Shooting Bow is in your hands, you can't unleash its full power with your cultivation. Furthermore, you can't shoot a second arrow."
She was right. Li Mu had gathered all the power in his body to shoot the arrow. Right now, he only had a sliver of power supporting him. Even with the power of the mantra to rapidly recover his power, he would not be able to return to his peak in a short period of time.
However, he had already achieved his goal. Li Mu smiled at the white-clothed woman. With a thought, the Law Bell immediately formed a suit of armor that covered his entire body. It followed him into the spatial storm.
In the next moment, the white-clothed woman appeared at his original position. She reached out with her remaining right hand, wanting to grab Li Mu. However, she grabbed nothing but air. She could only watch as Li Mu was swallowed up by the spatial storm.
Standing in front of the spatial storm, she held her missing left arm as a trace of blood gradually seeped out from the corner of her mouth.
She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. However, she did not chase after him.
Before she was injured, she might have been able to withstand the spatial storm. However, she had already suffered significant injuries from that arrow. She did not have the strength to forcefully break through the spatial storm.
In this short period of time, the four Ghost Kings of the Ghost Realm had already disappeared without a trace.
When they saw that arrow and the white-clothed woman who had taken it head-on, they already knew that this kind of battle was not something they could participate in.
Qie Yi slowly walked over and asked with lingering fear, "Fifth Ancestor, what do we do now?"
The white-clothed woman sat down with her legs crossed and said indifferently, "Just wait. He'll come out sooner or later …"
At this moment, Li Mu was completely enveloped by the armor of the Dao bell within the spatial storm. He advanced with great difficulty through the chaotic streams of space. He was surrounded by violent spatial power. Once he lost the Dao bell, his body and soul would be obliterated instantly.
Li Mu was not worried about himself. Instead, he was worried about Su He.
Even Li Mu, who didn't have the dao bell, found it difficult to resist the spatial turbulence, let alone Su He, who was only at the fifth level. Li Mu didn't dare to think too much about it. He continued to advance through the spatial storm. Every step he took here was incredibly difficult, and he wasn't even as fast as a normal person's walking speed. Li Mu moved forward step by step with great difficulty. After an unknown amount of time, he took another step and suddenly threw himself forward.
Li Mu stabilised himself. He stepped on the soft green grass and the azure sky above him.
Compared to a moment ago, the spatial storm was no longer there. There was also no resistance to his advance. It was as if he had entered another world in an instant.
Li Mu turned his head. The Wall of Storm was right behind him, but it did not extend any further. The distance of this step was between heaven and hell.
He suddenly sensed something and looked forward.
There was a small lake in front of him. A woman was sitting on the grass beside the lake with her back to him. When Li Mu walked toward her, the woman also slowly turned her head.
