The strength of the mutated beings varied greatly, but they all gathered near the ancient cave, hoping to gain opportunities from within it, and thereby break through their current realm.

A portion of these mutated beings had already received such opportunities, absorbing the strange energy erupting from the cave and successfully breaking through, stepping into the next realm. Their power ascended several levels in the blink of an eye.

Soon after, Xiao Mu noticed that many mutated beings appeared to have a method to their madness.

Such mutated beings were generally more powerful, being at least at the peak of the third realm.

These beings were calmly seated, evidently waiting for the right time.

Xiao Mu had another thought.

Could it be?

Without a change in expression, he quietly found a spot to sit and concealed his own energy, to prevent others from figuring out his true power.

Bang!

A dense red light suddenly gushed out from the ancient cave, and an enormous energy erupted, painting the heaven and earth in a piercing red hue.

"Ah! Hahaha! Charge!"

As the red light burst forth, the mutated beings immediately became frenzied. Even those who were calmly seated had become restless, charging towards the direction of the ancient cave.

"Die!"

"Get off me!"

"The treasure is mine! All of you stand back, whoever enters I will take down!"

The battle erupted immediately as mutated beings attacked one another.

Shrieks constantly sounded and one after another, mutated beings started to die, killed by even stronger beings.

"Haha! I made it in! The treasure is mine!"

One mutated being was in luck and made it into the ancient cave first.

However, soon after, a black mist suddenly emerged from the ancient cave.

The black mist enveloped the mutated being, immediately turning him to ashes, blown away by the wind.

"Fool, you dared to rush in without even having a chance?"

Someone remarked loudly, showing no sympathy for the disintegrated mutated being.

"He dared to rush in before the ancient cave had stabilized? He was simply asking for death!"

Next to Xiao Mu, an old man at the peak of the Blood Refinement Realm calmly commented. He didn't intend to compete with anyone else and just sat quietly, calmly observing the ancient cave.

Xiao Mu took a glance at the old man and remained still without revealing anything.

He decided to continue watching the changes.

With the mass death of the beings who rushed into the ancient cave, the surrounding creatures calmed down once again, continuing to wait for the right opportunity.

The red light that erupted from the ancient cave finally stabilized, and a strong, strange aroma started to permeate the atmosphere.

One by one, the mutated beings took deep breaths, trying hard to absorb this strange fragrance in order to increase their own strength.

"It smells wonderful! This must be some rare treasure, maybe some mutated exotic flower!"

"Perhaps it is a fruit!"

"Whatever it is, anything that can increase a person's strength is a good thing!"

The mutated beings took deep breaths, absorbing the fragrance without hesitation in order to increase their own strength.

"My body is starting to heat up, I am on the verge of a breakthrough. The effect of this fragrance is too wonderful, there must be an exotic flower or fruit in the ancient cave."

"Definitely. With that exotic flower or fruit, I can surely break through to the fourth realm, even the fifth realm."

"Hehe!"

A sneer sounded. Suddenly, without any warning, a black shadow rushed out from the crowd and charged towards the ancient cave.

"Stop right there!"

"You dare!"

A few mutated beings simultaneously attacked the black shadow.

Bam!

The black shadow dodged most of the attacks but was hit by a mutated being at the early stage of the fourth realm, causing him to spit out blood midair.

However, following that, he immediately let out a wild and triumphant laugh.

The mutated being's attack actually helped him, slinging him right into the ancient cave.

"Haha! Hahahaha!"

Overjoyed, manic laughter kept echoing from the ancient cave, suggesting that the being had made an important discovery.

Following that, a large aura emanated from the cave. It was the kind of aura that could only be emitted by one who had stepped into the fourth realm from the third.

Right after this being was slung into the ancient cave, he had broken through and successfully entered the fourth realm.

"How is this possible? How could he breakthrough so quickly!"

"This guy got really lucky!"

The beings outside were stunned, many of them expressing their astonishment.

"Go in!"

"I go first!"

"Get lost!"

Countless mutated beings recklessly charged towards the ancient cave. The conflict reignited and escalated with many beings killed.

Xiao Mu, however, slowly became more solemn and even stopped breathing.

The fragrance from the ancient cave made him feel incredibly strange.

He had only taken in a hint of the fragrance when the Xuanmen Zhenggang in his body reacted.

Xuanmen Zhenggang, the righteous force of the human world, is incompatible with all evil absurdities.

The moment that strange fragrance entered his nostrils, his internal Xuanmen Zhenggang started to boil like water, turning into steam and rushing out to expel the strange fragrance, trying to drive it away from Xiao Mu's body.

Xiao Mu was taken aback and quickly held his breath.

However, it was not enough.

After the strange fragrance entered his nostrils, it suddenly surged out and directly suppressed the Xuanmen Zhenggang inching out of his body, attempting to invade his body.

Xiao Mu was shocked.

He hurriedly adjusted his breath, amassing more Dao Method Spiritual Energy to counteract the strange fragrance.

At the same time, he sealed his seven orifices and all the pores of his body to prevent the strange fragrance from entering his body.

Fortunately, the scent he had inhaled was not heavy. As the Dao Method Spiritual Energy was rapidly assembled, the power of the Xuanmen Zhenggang gradually increased and eventually succeeded in driving out the strange fragrance, ridding it from his body.
