In these five days.
The Kunlun Ruins have been in tumultuous upheaval.
The various great powers openly mobilized to pursue, creating a spectacle more lively than the Hidden Dragon Conference, truly drawing world attention.
After all, the Hidden Dragon Conference was participated by juniors, but now those leading the forces intending to take advantage of the weak are basically Sect Leaders or Great Elders.
They are truly the kind of figures whose mere stomp could trigger an earthquake!
Only until these figures emerged to pursue, did the world understand that the existing Unity Realm stage powerhouses were far more than the few visible ones; many believed dead had silently reached the Unity Realm stage but had been hidden from the world.
During these five days, the news of Mu Jinyu infiltrating the Divine Formation Sect, intending to ambush it and achieving a strategic diversion but ultimately falling into the encirclement of the Three Great Sect Masters, spread throughout the Kunlun Ruins.
The world was also astonished by why a mere Mu Jinyu could trigger such great commotion and turmoil.
Because as long as one isn't foolish, everyone knows that a monster who only recently entered the First Layer Hedao Realm but could withstand three late-stage Unity Realm stage powerhouses and survive — if he successfully escapes, they likely won't have another chance to eliminate Mu Jinyu; instead, they might be annihilated by him in the future.
If Mu Jinyu doesn't die, all the great powers will remain uneasy!
And now Mu Jinyu, severely injured and barely escaping imminent death after being besieged by the Three Great Sect Masters, probably represents the only chance for all those opposed to him to besiege him in the future.
Therefore, initially after Mu Jinyu broke through to the Unity Realm stage and stormed the Wu Family Mansion, the forces that chose not to oppose him have now seen some among them itching again, unable to resist joining the large troop chasing him.
Because no one knows whether, after offending Mu Jinyu initially and finally choosing to abandon targeting him, Mu Jinyu will let it go or calculate against them in the future.
This gamble of forsaking the pursuit of Mu Jinyu carries enormous risks.
And now Mu Jinyu's situation is perilous; should they come together and besiege Mu Jinyu to death once and for all, wouldn't everything be resolved?
Thus, over these five days, the forces pursuing Mu Jinyu gradually evolved from the two forces of the Wu Family and Divine Formation Sect into more than a dozen great powers comprised of hidden sects or super clans.
The people of the Kunlun Ruins and the lower-tier cultivators are discussing daily how long Mu Jinyu can endure, and whether he can ultimately defy the odds against worldwide enemies and carve out a path of survival?
Many lament that Mu Jinyu's situation is too dangerous, nearly impossible for him to escape alive, a generation of absolute monsters on the brink of downfall, indeed lamentable.
Those various Heaven's Pride figures, once suppressed by Mu Jinyu at the Hidden Dragon Conference to the point of breathlessness, have emerged from seclusion with breakthroughs, either from the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm stepping into the Eighth Level, or from the Eighth Level stepping into the Ninth Layer...
Upon learning that Mu Jinyu vaulted ahead, entering the Unity Realm stage days before them, and achieved glorious battle results, yet is now pursued by various great powers, including Ji Changxin, all Heaven's Pride figures fell into silence.
Thereafter, their hearts simmered with complex emotions, whether of relief, ridicule, or regret...
Regardless of whether they wished Mu Jinyu to die at the hands of great powerhouses, they all knew clearly that Mu Jinyu essentially had no path of survival left.
They finally have an opportunity to emerge, with no monster pinning them helplessly overhead anymore.
...
Northern Region, Northmost Ice Field.
Heavy snow blotted out the sun, and amidst the pervasive storm, the previously calm ice field suddenly erupted with a boom, the ice sheet cracking.
Subsequently, a bloodstained youth, wild black hair swirling, burst from beneath the ice, his gaze like lightning, and forcibly tore several people clutched in his hands into two.
This youth, precisely, is Mu Jinyu, who has been pursued for a full five days.
"Kill!"
"He's already done for, don't let him get away!"
"Mu Jinyu, you killed so many of us, your crimes are grave, you deserve execution!"
The cries of battle echoed thunderously, and from beneath the cracked ice, hundreds more burst forth, all bearing various degrees of injury and charged collectively to besiege Mu Jinyu.
These people mostly had cultivation in the Fanxu Realm, and most were in the First or Second layer, now daring to besiege Mu Jinyu without dying, showing how severe Mu Jinyu's injuries were and their fearlessness towards this absolute monster.
"Hmph!"
Mu Jinyu's face was pallid, yet his eyes still shone bright like stars; after killing a few more, seeing Unity Realm stage powerhouses advancing, he dove into the underground once again, heading towards the direction of the Extremely Cold Hell!
"Kill!"
"Chase!"
"Don't let him escape!"
Everyone shouted as they continued deploying Earth Escape to pursue Mu Jinyu.
Diving underground, Mu Jinyu sneered coldly, muttering, "A bunch of fools."
He was not as gravely injured as claimed by the world to the point where even First Layer Fanxu Realm pursuers could chase him into a tragic state.
In reality, he deliberately cooperated with the Wu Family and Divine Formation Sect's rumors to lure more who harbored malice out to pursue him and completely settle them in one go.
That day, although besieged by four Unity Realm stage powerhouses wielding three Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, his injuries weren't severe, escaping these pursuers was quite easy.
Wu Xiongfei and Jing Haosi, fearing that if he escaped they would face his reckoning in the future, were scared and thus incited the rest to jointly pursue them, fabricating the word of his grievous injuries nearing death.
Mu Jinyu saw that indeed many powers moved upon hearing their lies, wanting to test if he held severe injuries nearing death, trapped in a crisis; he thus played along with these rumors, repeatedly appearing in a blood-spitting deathly dismal state, narrowly escaping their pursuit, resulting in more major forces joining the chase.
Matters escalated significantly, yet Mu Jinyu saw no cause for concern.
Since preparing for a big score, naturally the more to trap, the better.
Half a day later, Mu Jinyu finally reconvened with the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse at the entrance to the Extremely Cold Hell, repelling a batch of incoming foes with its help; he stood at the entrance of the Extremely Cold Hell, casting a look of hatred, despair, and defiance at everyone before commandeering the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse into the Extremely Cold Hell.
"This..."
The Sect Leaders and Great Elders from all great powers, watching Mu Jinyu leap into the Extremely Cold Hell, suddenly became conflicted.
Some felt relieved by the downfall of the monster, some regretted not seizing the dragon corpse, some felt reveling revenge...
Yet without exception, none of these powerhouses wished to leap into the Extremely Cold Hell after Mu Jinyu.
They knew the Extremely Cold Hell was a life forbidding zone; entering it meant certain death, why would they risk themselves merely to determine Mu Jinyu's fate?
While the powerhouses hesitated to take risks and were even prepared to return home, not all junior members understood the danger of the Extremely Cold Hell.
Seeing Mu Jinyu leap into the ice cave, they assumed the Sect Leaders and others would naturally follow and thus, without much hesitation, dozens immediately jumped down.
"Masters, why aren't you coming down? That guy escapes quickly! We can't catch up!"
After dozens entered the Extremely Cold Hell, seeing Mu Jinyu riding the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse deep into the ice path without others joining, suddenly felt something was amiss and quickly shouted.
