From the appearance of Zuo Dao to Mu Bai's strike, only a short time had passed, yet below, the scene was already one of carnage.
Mu Bai practiced the Path of Fire, and facing Master Mu meant encountering a Deadly Strike. Setting aside the opponent's identity, just possessing the Substitution Technique was enough to prevent him from being careless.
Fire descended from the sky, conjured from nothingness, with heat surging forth, forming countless fiery soldiers charging toward Master Mu.
Zuo Dao had activated the formation early on, protecting the disciples of Solemn Temple within it, alleviating Mu Bai's concerns.
Flowing Iron Dojo suffered heavy losses; this was a premeditated ambush. Countless disciples fell at the hands of those who had once been comrades. Suddenly, five Squads burst forth from Solemn Temple, entering the fray with unstoppable momentum.
Before them lay no worthy adversaries; the coordination among the Squads was seamless, and the members worked together as if they were one entity.
In a grand display of power, they turned the tide of battle, turning the arena into a river of blood.
Pu Yihuo directly confronted Water Screen and Blue River, while Zheng Zihua was intercepted by Kun Ru Tao, engaged in fierce combat in an empty space.
The flames of war from Solemn Temple quickly engulfed all of Miao Cheng, where countless Cultivators fought for their respective causes.
Miao Cheng became a stage for betrayal and perseverance, ruthlessness and camaraderie. This scene unfolded suddenly; many factions were drawn into the conflict unprepared. Zuo Dao could not afford to consider everything; he had anticipated Master Mu but had not foreseen the traps left behind by him.
This was chaos; this was a Battle; this was a bloodbath.
At some point, those Cultivators wishing to escape realized that all Teleportation Arrays in Miao Cheng had malfunctioned. This meant that Miao Cheng had become an isolated island, a dead end.
To survive meant to fight; to live meant to kill.
Squad after Squad of Cultivators gathered and charged into battle. There were no right or wrongs, no truths or falsehoods; anyone daring to draw their sword against them was considered an enemy.
Master Mu unleashed a radiant light around himself, creating a Dead Zone. All attacks that entered this space were redirected to another realm.
Mu Bai launched into a Deadly Strike, while Master Mu did not back down, immediately employing the Substitution Technique.
Liu Qingyun and Iron Wusuan watched in shock, their eyes wide with bloodlust. For over a hundred years, they had been searching for their enemy, only to find him right beside them.
With a swift motion, Liu Qingyun thrust his great sword toward Master Mu, while Iron Wusuan unleashed a treasure—a mysterious abacus made of unknown materials—aiming to smash it down.
"Stop!"
Seeing Liu and Iron attack, Mu Bai quickly called out to halt them, but the two were consumed by rage and paid him no heed.
With a thunderous crash, the three attacks collided, yet it was Mu Bai and his companions who were sent flying, while Master Mu remained unscathed, coldly hovering in midair.
The light surrounding him was blood-red, casting a crimson hue across the sky. Master Mu looked at the three who had been knocked back and let out a chilling laugh.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; the Substitution Technique is beyond your comprehension."
The three coughed up blood. Mu Bai was injured by the combined efforts of Liu Qingyun and Iron Wusuan, while Liu and Iron suffered from Mu Bai's attack. If they hadn't sensed something amiss at the last moment and pulled back some of their power, the consequences would have been far worse.
Although Master Mu had not perfected his forbidden technique, he was already among the few who could stand against others within the Golden Immortal realm. Even against an Immortal who had spent thousands of years in the Realm, he felt confident he could fight and even retreat unscathed.
As long as the light around him remained intact, he stood on an invincible ground. His only regret was that due to the incomplete nature of his forbidden technique, he could not move; any movement would cause the Substitution Technique to dissipate.
"You two should step back," Mu Bai said as he glanced at them. "Master Mu has already activated the Substitution Technique. The more people attack, the greater the damage he will inflict. Your attacks will only serve to aid him."
Liu Qingyun and Iron Wusuan felt unwilling but recognized that Mu Bai spoke the truth. They shot one last resentful glance at Master Mu before turning their fury toward the other two Great Dao arenas.
"I've been watching you," Mu Bai wiped the blood from his lips. "I thought you would reveal yourself later; I didn't expect you to be so decisive."
"Now that things have come to this point, what is the use of hiding? It's just a matter of time." Master Mu's state of mind had surprisingly calmed down, all previous worries vanished without a trace.
"Perhaps you don't know that Miao Cheng is already in chaos right now?"
Mu Bai glanced at Master Mu, his face devoid of any expression.
"What does it matter? What does it have to do with me? As long as Solemn Temple still exists, Miao Cheng will eventually find its Clarity."
Upon hearing Mu Bai's words, Master Mu burst into laughter.
"You, Mu Bai, are indeed a prominent figure in Miao Cheng. No wonder the previous assassination attempt failed. But you will never understand the heart of a Cultivator who protects their own."
"It seems all of this was orchestrated by you?" A glint of killing intent flashed in Mu Bai's eyes.
"So what if it was me? It's just that Shu Yun is too weak; even with this, he allowed you to escape with your life. You must have extraordinary luck," Master Mu laughed arrogantly.
"That's fine. As long as I kill all of you, I believe the Dao fruits on your bodies will complete my deficiencies and elevate me further. Not to mention your precious son, Unleaked Body! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
"Let's fight." Mu Bai shook his head as he looked at Master Mu; some people would never understand the thoughts of others.
With Mu Bai's declaration, the two reignited the battle.
Phoenix Ignition— the battlefield transformed into a Dead Zone. Mu Bai's performance was far from that of a novice Cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm.
Flames surged, forming a forbidden ground for life. Only those who practiced fire-based Dao techniques could comprehend how wild Mu Bai's attacks were at this moment.
From the flames emerged great birds, transforming into Three-Legged Golden Crows, flapping their wings and charging straight at Master Mu.
At this moment, Master Mu was bracing himself under the protection of the Substitution Technique, enduring the relentless onslaught from his opponent. It felt as if he were trapped in a furnace; despite the shield's support, he could still sense the overwhelming heat waves.
"Fire Domain! Impossible, how could you unleash the Fire Domain?"
Amidst the sea of flames, Master Mu suddenly shouted in disbelief.
As his voice echoed, a searing heat erupted around him, sending shivers down the spines of all nearby Cultivators. They scattered in panic.
At that moment, the area where Master Mu stood was ablaze with vibrant flames that pierced through the void, leaving a gaping hole as if mocking everyone below.
"Fire Domain." A mournful cry escaped Master Mu as he found himself engulfed in flames. The battlefield fell silent at the sound of his despair.
Fire Domain! Fire Domain!
Each repetition of those words rang out like a piercing alarm amidst the chaos of battle.
In the Fire Domain, clusters of flames transformed into ancient beasts, their hooves thundering as they charged towards Master Mu. Like moths drawn to a flame, they dove into the brilliance created by the Substitution Technique.
Master Mu cried out in anguish, wishing he had never set foot in this place. Celestial Essence surged through him, continuously feeding into the light. All he hoped for was that the external brilliance would hold out just a little longer while also wishing that Mu Bai would soon run out of strength.
However, disappointment struck him swiftly when he caught sight of his opponent pulling several crystal-clear pills from their robe and swallowing them without hesitation. Even within the Fire Domain, those pills stood out distinctly; they were definitely not ordinary items.
The foundation displayed by Solemn Temple was overwhelmingly powerful—first with Mu Yuan's Unleaked Body, followed by five squads rampaging across the battlefield, and now with Mu Bai's Fire Domain.
If anyone dared to claim that Sole Ruler was merely a bottom-tier presence among the top ten in Miao Cheng at this moment, they would surely be drowned in spit.
"You’ve hidden yourself well!" Master Mu's unwilling voice emerged from within the Fire Domain. No one could discern his current situation; the flames obstructed all forms of power.
He realized that he could not continue like this; defeat was inevitable. Unless he could somehow cross the Fire Domain and kill Mu Bai right now, this thought, while appealing, was impossible. The moment he removed his defenses, the all-consuming flames would turn him to ashes in an instant.
An ancient and obscure language drifted out from the Fire Domain. The cultivators of Solemn Temple felt a wave of confusion wash over them, as a brief opening appeared in their defense. In contrast, the disciples from the other two Great Dao realms suddenly seemed invigorated, as if they had consumed some potent elixir, each unleashing incredible potential.
The situation on the battlefield shifted once more. Zuo Dao sensed something was amiss upon hearing those voices. From the Graveyard of the Dead in the Great Star Domain came Miao Cheng's Divine Corpse, followed by the haunting sound of "Burial Melody."
These were unique to the Yin Corpse Sect, and he was witnessing them one after another. Who exactly was Master Mu? Everything happening filled him with a foreboding sense that something significant was about to occur.
"Burial Melody" was a technique created by the Yin Corpse Sect to enhance the combat abilities of corpses, proving effective against various types of undead. Although it consisted of only a few notes, it still influenced the battle.
The counterattack from the River Dojo took everyone by surprise, leading to a rapid increase in casualties. If it weren't for a few Level Creators intervening, the consequences would have been dire.
"Heart Corpse Explosion," Zuo Dao shouted urgently. "Mu Yuan, lock!"
Mu Yuan had just dispatched an opponent when suddenly, without warning, the corpse exploded. If he hadn't possessed Unleaked Body to block the attack, he would have been severely injured.
At that moment, Zuo Dao's warning echoed just in time. Without hesitation, he moved his fingers, tracing profound lines in the air.
"Lock."
He spoke the incantation.
A formation diagram flashed above Solemn Temple and pressed down from above. Several cultivators with Golden Celestial Cultivation, including Zuo Dao, were forcefully expelled. At the same time, beams of light descended from the sky, landing on each enemy cultivator's head.
Mu Yuan's maneuver was even more astonishing than Master Mu's mastery of Substitution.
Seize creation and lock with power.
This is the Great Technique, and every Level Creator present saw their own path within it.
"Impossible!" Liu Qingyun and the others were left speechless.
Is this the power of the Unleaked Body? The Creators questioned themselves in their hearts.
A fiery excitement flickered in Master Mu's eyes; the stronger the Unleaked Body, the more exhilarated he became.
"Stop looking; your opponent is me. If you want to obtain the Unleaked Body, you must first get past me!" Mu Bai felt a sense of pride seeing his son's strength. Master Mu's expression reflected in his eyes only made him more aware of his son's power. He intended to crush any potential threats to Mu Yuan at their inception.
This time, he retracted the Fire Domain. Although powerful, it consumed a tremendous amount of energy, and he was uncertain what variables might arise after this battle. He needed to preserve his strength as much as possible.
A Flame Spear appeared in his hand.
"Kill."
The spear soared through the air like a fire dragon, each strike aimed at Master Mu's vital points. As Mu Bai withdrew the Fire Domain, Master Mu also dispelled the Light Shield. His body transformed into a towering giant, and with fists like grinding wheels, he smashed down toward his opponent.
Thunderous sounds echoed high above as both unleashed their true fire. Occasionally, stray attacks landed below, reducing buildings to dust. Fortunately, Solemn Temple had protective formations, so those engaged in battle below were unaffected.
However, Miao City was thrown into chaos; smoke billowed everywhere as various factions reshuffled their ranks. Yet they all tacitly ignored Solemn Temple, knowing that at least nine Golden Immortals resided there.
"Pride, let Sole Ruler come out; I have other plans for replacing the five Squads," Zuo Dao shouted to Luo Ao, who was fighting fiercely.
Luo Ao smashed through his enemies and made his way to Zuo Dao's side.
"Brother, is something big about to happen?" Though he spoke casually, his hands were quick to signal for action.
"I don't know, let's prioritize the heart. I always feel that relying solely on the original Master One is not enough to achieve this level," Zuo Dao said, his gaze complex as he looked into the void.
The Sole Ruler emerged, like a divine dragon rising and falling. As soon as it appeared, it shook the Ninety Realms with an overwhelming force.
Everyone's minds trembled; what kind of Squad was this?
With just a few dozen people, they exuded the might of millions. Their steps were firm, their expressions cold, their formation precise, and their killing intent palpable.
Boom!
With just one strike, they turned the enemies blocking their path into dust. Wherever they passed, they crushed everything in their way, leaving no opponent standing.
They left behind countless wounds on their enemies like an unparalleled blade gliding effortlessly through flesh. Their presence overshadowed the entire battlefield; even Water Screen and Blue River dared not challenge their edge.
Since ancient times, there had never been an emotionless "corpse," but after their arrival, even those began to tremble slightly.
What kind of Squad was this?
Only those from Solemn Temple knew that every Cultivator in this Squad had been carefully selected from among them. The formation of this team and their deployment took merely ten days. In that short span, they underwent a transformative change.
Some of them were once unknown, while others were obscure, but after being chosen by Zuo Dao for this Squad, their lives changed dramatically. From then on, their names would resonate throughout Miao Cheng and even the entire realm.
The ancient era felt too distant for them; they had no knowledge of the Ancient Battle Squad's might.
But now they witnessed the Supreme Honor Squad. Even Quasi Golden Immortal Cultivators retreated before them! It was known that the strongest among this Squad was at the True Immortal Realm!
Kill, kill, kill.
The sound of killing reverberated, even those fighting in the void could feel the overwhelming battle intent and murderous aura.
Master Mu was no longer the calm figure he once was; one of his arms hung limply at his side, while blood streamed from both nostrils of Mu Bai.
After a fierce exchange, both had sustained varying degrees of injury. Master Mu unleashed the "Duel" technique of Substitution, each move displaying an eerie quality that caused most of Mu Bai's attacks to miss their mark. If it weren't for Mu Bai trading injuries for results, he wouldn't have achieved any success.
Kun Ru Tao had completely suppressed Zheng Zihua, not because he didn't want to kill him, but because Zuo Dao had suddenly sent a message urging him to buy time, creating an illusion of a balanced fight.
Pu Liu Huo and others were also forced out of Solemn Temple. Aside from Liu Qingyun, who stayed behind to hold the line against Iron Wusuan, the rest flew off to various parts of Miao City to carry out suppression.
The entire Miao City was in ruins, blood covering the ground. Those still fighting were no weaklings; those who had persevered until now were all strong-willed individuals.
Unfortunately, they faced a group of inhuman foes. The sound of Burial Melody echoed, affecting Miao City to some extent. Although Zuo Dao responded in time, it still triggered the "Corpse Transformation."
Among the most terrifying were the monstrous corpses that crawled out from Muda Hall and River Dojo. By the time Pu Liu Huo arrived, this area had become a Dead Zone, where several massive Beast Corpses were feasting on the remains.
From the countless mangled bodies scattered across the ground, it was evident what horrific events had transpired.
"Monsters, die!"
Pu Liu Huo recognized several dismembered limbs from his own disciples among the corpses, causing his rage to boil over as he charged forward without a second thought.
Roar!
With a series of thunderous roars, the Beast Corpses noticed Pu Liu Huo rushing toward them and their eyes gleamed with delight.
Pu Liu Huo was a Level Creator in the Golden Immortal Realm; his vitality was unmatched by ordinary cultivators. The Beast Corpses were particularly sensitive to such life force. In their eyes, Pu Liu Huo was nothing less than a delectable feast.
A faint trace of blood seeped into the void, flowing towards an unknown destination. Miao City had already become a City of Slaughter, and Miao Cheng had turned into a land of blood.
Zuo Dao opened his eyes wide, scanning the surroundings, and finally sensed something amiss.
"What is that place?" Zuo Dao called over Luo Ao, pointing to a certain area.
Luo Ao followed Zuo Dao's gesture and saw nothing but emptiness.
"That is it!"
Zuo Dao was at a loss for words.
"What lies beneath that emptiness?"
"Let me think." Luo Ao stared at the empty space for a moment before speaking again.
"It seems to be the location of the Demon Suppression Hall."
"The Demon Suppression Hall?" Upon hearing this, Zuo Dao's mind began to formulate a plan.
