On the Great Snow Mountain.
Mu Jinyu divided the Blood Shaman Essence Blood in his hand into fourteen portions, keeping two for himself, while the other six Heavenly Palace Elders also received two portions each.
The reason for dividing it this way was because they would consume one portion to enter and might need another to exit, being prepared for unforeseen situations.
As for why Mu Jinyu did not go in alone or send only a few Heavenly Palace Elders?
It was because this place was quite mysterious and might be the burial ground of the First Generation Blood Witch Ancestor. If Mu Jinyu entered alone, with the Eighth Level of the Hedao Realm Shaman Ancestor holding geographic advantage, he feared he was not the opponent.
And if the Heavenly Palace Elders entered, they might not be willing to risk their lives for him without good reason, so they all had to go together.
"Let's prepare to go down!"
Mu Jinyu put away one portion of the Blood Shaman Essence Blood and then looked solemnly at the six Heavenly Palace Elders before igniting the Blood Shaman Essence Blood in his hand.
"Boom!"
The essence blood burned, instantly spreading across Mu Jinyu's body like flames, as if he was performing the Blood Escape Technique.
With the Blood Flame enveloping him, Mu Jinyu knew that the Blood Shaman Essence Blood would not burn for long, so he immediately leapt into the crevice below.
"Let's go!"
The six Heavenly Palace Elders were reluctant to take the risk of accompanying Mu Jinyu down, but they knew that if they did not and something happened to him, they would not escape Mu Shao'ai's wrath anywhere.
They had no choice but to ignite the Blood Shaman Essence Blood and follow Mu Jinyu into the crevice below.
...
After a period of frenzied impact by the lost souls.
The Blood Shaman Essence Blood burning on Mu Jinyu's body was also extinguished, but he safely reached the depths beneath the snow mountain.
"Thud..."
As he landed smoothly, the six Heavenly Palace Elders followed suit and landed on the ground.
"What a rich Deathly Qi, how many sins did this person commit while alive!"
After landing, the six Heavenly Palace Elders carefully sensed the Deathly Qi far exceeding what was felt outside on the snow mountain, and their faces changed slightly, exclaiming.
Mu Jinyu's face also darkened slightly.
This dense Deathly Qi was even more terrifying than the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend that escaped from his grasp.
If that Shaman Ancestor had means to attack enemies using the Deathly Qi, he feared that coming down alone, he truly might be suppressed to death.
Even with six Ninth Layer Hedao Realm peak Heavenly Palace Elders coming along, he still had a bad premonition, feeling that they might not be able to withstand the opponent.
"Don't linger, move forward quickly. I sense a very frightening lost soul's aura is resurrecting. If it truly resurrects, all of us, including me, will die here!"
At this moment, Little Ice Silkworm said with a heavy expression, urging Mu Jinyu.
"A lost soul resurrecting?"
Mu Jinyu knew that in the subterranean Sword Scar Canyon, various formations and restrictions were laid out, blocking his perception, making him grope blindly like a blind man, but the Divine Silkworm Princess was special, able to ignore these barriers and directly perceive the truth.
Therefore, her words could not be ignored.
Mu Jinyu's expression changed drastically, urgently calling out to the six behind him, then rushed forward under Little Ice Silkworm's guidance, to avoid unintentionally triggering restrictions and wasting time.
As he rushed forward, he pondered what the Divine Silkworm Princess said earlier.
A lost soul is resurrecting?
What kind of lost soul?
He hypothesized that this was likely the burial ground of the First Generation Blood Witch Ancestor, and if his assumption was correct…
Then the Shaman Ancestor was preparing to resurrect the lost soul of the Blood Witch Ancestor?
This was troublesome.
The First Generation Blood Witch Ancestor could be described as a formidable figure, who devoured the lost souls of numerous Witch and Barbarian tribes' sages to cultivate his witchcraft until finally facing the combined assault of both tribes and dying in battle!
Even in death, he caused major damages to the tribes, wiping out numerous clans!
He was a terrifying individual capable of confronting an entire species alone!
Regarding his cultivation in life, Mu Jinyu suspected it might have reached beyond the Hedao Realm to the Void Breaking Realm!
If it truly was this hero's lost soul about to resurrect, this was indeed no trivial matter.
The more Mu Jinyu thought about it, the more the precariousness of the situation seemed to escalate.
Soon, under Little Ice Silkworm's guidance, Mu Jinyu and six others successfully avoided all restrictive obstacles and rushed to the end of Sword Scar Canyon.
In the distance, they saw a fragile-looking girl draped in fox fur, kneeling before a terrifying and hideous white bone altar, seemingly undergoing some ritual.
Above her head, there was a dark stream, swirling with endless ferocious ghostly faces, continuously funneling into the girl's Heavenly Spirit Cover.
"Attack!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Mu Jinyu could immediately tell that she was undoubtedly the last Shaman Ancestor of the Blood Witch Clan!
Surprised that the opponent was a female, but lacking any mercy or sentiment, Mu Jinyu coldly shouted, brandished the Dragon Spear, and charged at her!
"Boom!"
The Chain of Divine Order solidified, spirals entwining around the spear edge, firmly locking onto the fragile girl's back!
A single, lethal blow!
Kneeling on the ground, Jing Wang wore a devout expression on her exquisite face, receiving and absorbing the power of their Blood Witch Clan's First Generation Shaman Ancestor's wraith!
She heard the footsteps approaching from behind, yet her ritual had reached its final stage and could not be interrupted, so she ignored them.
She never expected such decisiveness from the other side, arriving without any probing, delivering a deadly strike right away!
"Bang!"
"Sizzle!!"
Kneeling and unable to move, Jing Wang trembled slightly, her frail figure seeming pitiful, yet Mu Jinyu's steady grip on the spear showed no hesitation or mercy as the ice-cold spear tip pierced through Jing Wang's back!
It penetrated her heart!
A torrential spray of crimson blood bloomed in the air.
The scene seemed desolate and mournful, stirring a feeling of pity.
But the six Heavenly Palace Elders accompanying Mu Jinyu, accustomed to major upheavals, remained unaffected and instead wore expressions of delight, unable to help exclaiming, "Is it done?"
"Bang!!"
The frail body of Jing Wang, impaled by Mu Jinyu's spear, was flung away, crashing heavily to the ground, leaving a pool of startlingly crimson blood.
At that moment!
"Boom!"
A surge of overwhelming resentful intentions and killing intense exploded from Jing Wang's body; the sensation was as if a malicious flood dragon flooded forth, like a ferocious ghost releasing from its coffin.
Subsequently, Jing Wang's body began to float upward gently.
A swirling current of pitch-black air encircled her, exuding terrifying resentment, fierce Qi, and deadly Qi!
Gradually, these evil energies fused and slowly formed an overbearing warrior, standing three zhang tall, draped in an intimidating white bone armor!
With a grasp of his hand, the black malice materialized a five-zhang long Evil Spirit Slaying Sword!
"Swish!"
Amid this, protected at the heart by the Shaman Ancestor's wraith, Jing Wang, her face distorted in agony, suddenly opened her eyes. Her once clear, lotus-like gaze now burned with a mesmerizing bright-red light like hellfire lotus, glaring at Mu Jinyu with resentment!
The wound at her heart healed instantly, and her aura utterly surpassed the Ninth Layer Hedao Realm peak Heavenly Palace Elders surrounding Mu Jinyu!
Even if not at the true Void Breaking Realm, it was a half-step Void Breaking Realm!
