Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Rumble—

The deafening sound reverberated throughout the square.

The pyramid hovering above the square was pierced by pink long tongues, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

A line of small bronze text appeared:

"The current space is nearing collapse, all prohibitions are ineffective, the sequences are evacuating."

The next moment.

Someone shouted loudly: "Run—"

The voice of this mysterious life form suddenly halted.

A pink long tongue pierced through his body, draining him completely.

The entire bronze wall was collapsing.

Wu Xiaode stood calmly in place, about to directly activate the title skill of the "Ghostly King" to leave, when he suddenly remembered something.

His gaze settled in the Void, and he willed:

"Lady Sarina, where are you?"

The Hermit Series began to convey his inquiry.

One breath.

Two breaths.

"I'm on the front line," Sarina's voice sounded: "At present, all space prohibitions have disappeared, don't worry about those requests, return to the Netherworld immediately!"

As if fearing Wu Xiaode's concern for other sequences, she continued:

"Survival is more important, you should go quickly, all sequences have agreed to this!"

"I'll leave right away, what about you?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Return to the Holy Realm! The breach of the bronze wall is an unprecedented major event. You head to the Netherworld, and I'll return to the Holy Realm to report to my main body," Sarina said.

Wu Xiaode's thoughts flickered.

Something's wrong.

The Holy Realm is the most dangerous place right now.

Even Sarina's main body might have already undergone Evil Transformation!

If she returns to the Holy Realm, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's den?

She...

had helped him many times.

Wu Xiaode's gaze fell on the bronze nameplate.

Sarina was no fool; she was a Holy Avatar capable of acting independently in the vast plan of the Holy Realm, setting aside other sequences.

So—

"My lady, I suggest you do not return to the Holy Realm," Wu Xiaode said.

"Why?" Sarina asked, puzzled.

"I'll pass something to you through the Hermit Series, you'll understand once you see it," Wu Xiaode said.

"This is something I picked up, the secret it holds will definitely make you reconsider the entire situation."

After speaking, Wu Xiaode immediately equipped the title of "Ghostly King" and held up the bronze nameplate.

In an instant.

He disappeared from the falling bronze debris.

A few pink long tongues immediately chased after him, about to enter the Void to pursue Wu Xiaode.

However, the spatial fluctuations still contained the residual waves emitted by the bronze nameplate.

The pink long tongues stopped.

They quickly changed direction and switched to hunting down other fleeing mysterious life forms.

Netherworld.

Wu Xiaode landed gently.

When he found no pursuers, he placed the bronze nameplate in the Void.

The Hermit Series immediately began to operate.

Shua—

The bronze nameplate instantly disappeared into the Void.

Not long after.

Sarina's exclamation sounded:

"This is—"

But she immediately suppressed her voice, and after several breaths she spoke:

"Indeed, as soon as I got the nameplate, the Evil Objects around me stopped attacking."

"Yes, it seems to be some kind of token— I picked it up in the core square, it originally belonged to a general," Wu Xiaode explained.

Sarina hurriedly said: "I didn't expect we had already been infiltrated. I need to immediately convene other sequences— no, the Sequence Beasts might also be infiltrated; I need to return to the Holy Realm immediately."

"If the Sequence Beasts are infiltrated, won't their creators immediately know?" Wu Xiaode said.

Sarina's voice fell silent.

Indeed.

Wu Xiaode was now forcing her to recognize this matter.

The problem lies with the Holy Realm!

You can't go back!

After a dozen or so breaths.

Sarina's voice finally sounded again:

"I'll take this nameplate and investigate the situation at the bronze wall."

"My lady, be careful." Wu Xiaode advised.

"This time you've done a great deed, Ming, I'll contact you later— if I'm still alive," Sarina said.

The call ended.

Wu Xiaode exhaled lightly.

—This is right!

As long as she doesn't return to the Holy Realm, there's at least hope!

In fact, as long as she has that nameplate, and given Sarina's knack for concealment, even going to the bronze wall should be fine.

So now it's time to do the right thing.

—Promote the Netherworld position and search for the Pangu Card Set.

Wu Xiaode was just thinking when he suddenly extended his hand and threw a punch forward.

Extreme: Dragon Snake Arises!

His entire body was enveloped in the power of darkness, as a line of prompt runes emerged in the Void:

"Currently in 'invincible' state, your 'No Front' has hit the enemy."

Thud!

A dull sound.

Wu Xiaode's figure shot back several hundred meters, crashing into a mountainside.

Rumble rumble rumble—

The mountain began to collapse.

A figure leaped from within the mountain, assuming a fist stance in mid-air.

Wu Xiaode!

He held his breath, wholly alert, while quickly murmuring in his mind:

"Quick, Jin Quan, see what other power is available!"

"Checking!" Jin Quan said, "Your Evil Spirit task is completed, three doses of Evil Spirit Power have been birthed!"

Indeed.

A line of small bronze text emerged from the Evil Spirit Book.

Wu Xiaode suddenly remembered that he did have two Evil Spirit tasks, one of which was "Escape the Land of the Living."

—Leaving the bronze wall and entering the Netherworld would render all malice futile.

This completed one Evil Spirit task!

Wu Xiaode only contemplated in his mind, yet he couldn't spare the attention to look at the Evil Spirit Book.

He was fully focused in a defensive stance.

In the next moment.

A voice arose in the nearby Void:

"Do you want me to retrieve the true scriptures again this time?"

Countless writhing bones converged like swimming fish, forming a skeleton.

——S-level Evil Demon, Skeleton!

It had actually tracked him to the Netherworld!

"Forgot to ask, what's the name of the move where you made me retrieve the scriptures?"

It asked again.

"Eerie Fate Disaster Walk." Wu Xiaode replied.

——Now that Eerie Fate Disaster Walk has been upgraded to Evil Sealing God Slaughter.

But Skeleton had also become an S-level Evil Demon.

The upgrade for Evil Sealing God Slaughter requires two portions of Evil Spirit Power.

Then upgrade it!

Wu Xiaode directly invested two portions of Evil Spirit Power into "Evil Sealing God Slaughter."

One portion of Evil Spirit Power remained.

On the Wall of Endless Malice, a line of bronze small letters appeared:

"Invest one portion of Evil Spirit Power, and your state 'Burning God' can be upgraded by one level."

"Upgrade?"

"Yes." Wu Xiaode immediately murmured in his heart.

The Evil Spirit Book closed.

The voice of the Golden Hound echoed in his mind:

"The upgrade of state and skills will take half an hour, you must hold on!"

Half an hour!

The flowers would have wilted by then!

Wu Xiaode's expression tensed, quietly observing Skeleton.

Skeleton's voice echoed from afar:

"Eerie Fate Disaster Walk? Quite an apt technique name, but I won't fall for it again now."

Wu Xiaode sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly:

"Eerie Fate Disaster Walk didn't do much to you, all your avatars were fused by you, and it even helped you upgrade a level, didn't it?"

"Indeed, I am stronger." Skeleton replied.

"So, are you here to invite me for a meal?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"No..." Skeleton's tone suddenly filled with murderous intent, "I am looking for a thief who stole the ultimate treasure of the Holy Realm, and based on my guess, you might just be that thief!"

Wu Xiaode's heart skipped a beat.

So that's it!

It had instinctively identified him!

If it was proven now that he was the one who took Xia Huilan, countless Evil Demons would come to hunt him down!

The only way to buy time was to make it realize someone else had taken Xia Huilan!

Its mission was to find Xia Huilan.

——If it went in the wrong direction, that would be its problem!

Wu Xiaode glanced at this Death World.

With the previous confrontation, there were no longer any undead visible on the vast Death Wilderness.

Skeleton spoke:

"The Bronze Wall has been completely destroyed by us, henceforth, we can descend into Pangu World and its Netherworld at any time."

"You're done for."

"So confess, you stole that ultimate treasure, and I'll let you die a swift death."

Wu Xiaode was well aware at this point and suddenly took off the Holy Treasure Ring from his hand, raising it high:

"Here, everything I have is in this ring."

The prohibitions on the ring were lifted.

Countless gold, treasures, and materials poured onto the ground.

Wu Xiaode casually tossed the Holy Treasure Ring into these treasures.

"I probably can't beat you now, so I'm sincerely saying this to you:"

"If you're going to rob——"

"All my assets are here, absolutely nothing else is hidden."

"Take whatever you fancy."

Just as his words fell.

Skeleton coldly looked at him, then at the ocean of gold, the mountain of treasures.

"These things mean nothing to me... Do you dare swear these are all your possessions?"

"I swear!" Wu Xiaode replied.

——The Evil Spirit Book is an innate ability, not a possession.

So what he said was correct!

Besides, he said these words not because he feared it.

But because he couldn't let himself become the target of the entire Evil Demon World's focus!

The affair of the Holy Realm weapons has nothing to do with him!

The air exploded with a rumbling sound.

Skeleton's figure rushed directly towards Wu Xiaode——

In a flash, Wu Xiaode's eyes captured its silhouette.

Burning God Catastrophe Intent · Evil Sealing God Slaughter!

Skeleton charged forward with all its might, its hands turning into bone spears, stabbing forward with full force——

Wu Xiaode was immediately pierced by it.

"Whether it's you or not, die for me!"

Skeleton shouted harshly.

"Using public affairs for private gains." Wu Xiaode snorted.

In the next instant.

His body was completely torn apart.

Skeleton's murderous aura receded.

Damn.

He had a grudge against this peculiar guy.

That grudge was now settled.

Now he must quickly make up for his mistake.

——He must find the guy who stole the ultimate weapon of the Holy Realm as soon as possible!

"Trash."

Hastily leaving this word behind, Skeleton's figure flickered and disappeared into the Void.

After a few breaths.

The light and shadows around returned to normal.

Wu Xiaode reappeared in the Void, reached out and summoned all the treasures back into the Holy Treasure Ring, wearing it back on his finger.

"Stalled... for seven minutes."

"Now it's up to when it realizes that it actually fell for my technique just now."

"Even if it realizes, it's a question of whether it chooses to seek out the item or comes back for private revenge."

Wu Xiaode murmured to himself.

His figure flickered and disappeared directly from this world, heading into another part of the Netherworld.
