Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

But amidst countless ghostly shadows, a streak of golden light danced continuously.

Boom!

His boxing was like divine communication, shattering layers of ghost soldiers, carving a path deeper into the abyss.

Should he keep going?

More ghost soldiers charged forward, and massive fiery nefarious beasts followed closely behind.

Enemies surrounded him from all directions.

Wu Xiaode let out a breath and tugged at the invisible rope around his waist.

In an instant.

A surge of great power jerked him backward—

Whoosh!

Wu Xiaode found himself back in the cottage atop the hill.

As soon as he entered the range enveloped by the Invisibility sequence, he immediately turned invisible, undetectable to any being.

Wu Xiaode took out a Frost Snow Holy Fruit for healing and began eating it while gazing into the Void.

"You have slain three ghost creatures."

"Your skin has been upgraded to:"

"Immortal Peach Orchard's Watering Warrior from Ning Shen Temple in Kunlun Mountain."

"Effects: Power +5, attacks have a forceful effect, with a certain probability of flattening enemies to the ground, unable to move."

More powerful!

Wu Xiaode finished the fruit in his hands and looked up.

His health bar was full again.

Time for another kill!

Wu Xiaode stepped forward, ready to rush back to the underground rift outside, but the Book of the Dead stirred.

A Shadow Follower card suddenly leaped out, morphing into a human shape before him.

Shen Feixue!

"Little Wu, you better find a suitable refuge quickly, or it'll be too late," Shen Feixue said with a grave expression.

Wu Xiaode was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's going to happen? Isn't the Earth Tribulation underway right now?"

Shen Feixue said, "Now I am the Mother of Chaos, naturally connected with Pangu, and I've learned that it is no longer the entity destroyed by the sequence last time—it has evolved to be smarter."

"How so?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Shen Feixue wore a peculiar expression and spoke softly,

"I don't know how to say this—Pangu seems to have changed somehow."

"Changed?" Wu Xiaode wondered.

"Yes... It's contradictory, with two voices arguing with each other, but I am certain both voices are its own," Shen Feixue said.

"It's contemplating two ideas?" Wu Xiaode inquired.

"Exactly, one idea is to let all beings continuously evolve, to help it become stronger; the other is to enact a great reshuffling."

Shen Feixue continued, "The previous Four Tribulations appeared similar to the past, seemingly selecting beings, but in fact, Pangu was hedging its bets, deceiving those mysterious creatures and sequences."

"Pangu has been secretly preparing the 'Hell' world, which is now ready."

"What follows—"

"It chooses to let all beings and mysteries die!"

"Through the baptism of death, even those mysterious lives with extraordinary powers will have severely limited strength after reincarnation."

"They will become true humans!"

"This is the salvation plan conceived for Pangu World itself."

"Remember, all will be annihilated!"

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but inhale sharply.

Shen Feixue being the Mother of Chaos, had the right to counsel Pangu.

Her words couldn't be wrong.

"What about you? What will you do?" Wu Xiaode asked her.

Shen Feixue said matter-of-factly,

"I'll stick with you, of course. If you die, we all die—I am just a mortal. Jiang Shanglan and that dragon mother are still arguing; I have to hurry back."

After saying that, she transformed back into a card and flew into the Book of the Dead, not coming out again.

Wu Xiaode stood still for a few moments.

Then, slapping his thigh, he muttered,

"The entire world is to be destroyed by Hell? Damn it, no wonder all my Hell and Netherworld Shadow Followers are unusable..."

"But where can I hide?"

He gazed out at the land beyond.

The ground was full of cracks.

From every crack, several meters wide, Hell's fiery glow burst forth.

Ten million ghosts wailed from beneath.

Suddenly.

A ghostly claw extended from below, clutching at the edge of the crevice.

Then, a Netherworld ghost soldier showed its head.

—They were coming up to the surface!

Where could one hide?

Or rather, where could one delay their demise?

Wu Xiaode's mind was clear as a mirror.

—The longer he lived, the more enemies he killed, and the more formidable his skin would become.

Even after death, he would be strong enough to handle many things in the Death World.

We must survive until the very last moment!

Thoughts flashed through Wu Xiaode's mind one after another.

Suddenly, he retracted the sequence and his entire being shot out of the house, soaring into the sky, flying towards the distance.

—To Sare Town!

The S-class club's bar was there.

Xiao Baihong and Zhao Junyu had prepared enough food in the bar.

Shen Feixue's Mecha was also in the cellar behind the bar.

His own substitute—

Wu Dade's save point was there too!

Wu Xiaode flew at full speed mid-air, racing as fast as lightning.

Quick!

Even quicker!

He had to reach Sare Town before the Hell's creatures completely took over the world!

Midway through the flight, a Mysterious life form suddenly leapt into the air and shouted:

"You are—"

Wu Xiaode touched a ring, releasing the Void Radiant Scaled Serpent, mounted it, and shouted loudly:

"I am a subordinate of Emperor Bai, don't block the way, I'm on urgent business!"

The Mysterious life form, upon seeing the mount, hurriedly made way, saying:

"Sorry to have delayed you."

The Void Radiant Scaled Serpent surged forward, leaving the Mysterious life form far behind, soon out of sight.

It had to be said, the speed of this colorful fish was even faster than Wu Xiaode flying on his own!

After seven or eight breaths.

The Void Radiant Scaled Serpent had already reached above Sare Town.

Wu Xiaode retracted his mount and looked down.

With Emperor Bai's departure, the whole town was empty.

There weren't many Hell Rifts either.

Because the surrounding area was the Great Desert, there was not much to crack open, and once it did, it was all just sand.

—This place was already an extremely remote town, with hardly any people to begin with.

So looking down from the sky, one could only see a Hell Rift to the north of the town.

Wu Xiaode swiftly descended.

He returned to the dilapidated bar and began a thorough search.

The store room was piled high with food.

All kinds of canned goods, pickled items, compressed biscuits, and high-calorie snacks were available in abundance.

Strong liquors were neatly arranged, filling a whole room.

Emperor Bai clearly hadn't understood the significance of these items, so he hadn't destroyed them.

—All of this stuff was more than enough!

A wave of relief washed over Wu Xiaode.

When he returned to the future era, he would definitely treat Elder Xiao and Zhao Junyu to a meal.

He opened the Holy Treasure Ring, collected all the items into it, went into the cellar and gathered Shen Feixue's Mecha, and then returned to the bar's main hall.

"Sequence, it's time to 'lie down' now,"

Wu Xiaode said.

Pop.

A reclining man appeared on the bar's floor.

Arian.

As he appeared, Wu Xiaode instantly became invisible.

—Is there anything left undone?

Wu Xiaode pondered for a few moments, took out the Eternal Guardian Rope, secured it properly, and then wrapped it around his waist.

That's it!

He had done all he could.

Now it was just a matter of waiting to see what would happen next.

Wu Xiaode sat down in a corner, took out a bottle of strong liquor, took a few sips, and waited quietly.

Time slowly passed by.

Suddenly.

The ground began to shake violently.

A thunderous sound echoed across the sky.

Pangu World.

A message appeared in the heart of every existing being:

"The world will be purified."

"All living beings, do not fear, for through death, your souls will be thoroughly purified."

"Death is not the end, but a beginning."

"Do not fear, embrace death, and then be reborn!"

Across the world, countless rifts opened, unleashing winds, Fiery Flames, and innumerable Devils of Hell.

Everything was engulfed in destruction.

But—

In the very last moment, the message shifted abruptly, now filled with compassion:

"Strive to live."

"If your skin can continue to strengthen, perhaps in this moment of Destruction, I will leave the last refuge for you to survive."
