Boom!

The ancient cave completely collapsed, countless pieces of mud and rubble landed on the ground, making it impossible to see anything anymore.

"What happened? What happened inside the ancient cave? Why did it suddenly collapse?"

"What about the treasure? The ancient cave has collapsed, what about my treasure?"

"This man, he came out, it must've been his doing. The treasure must have been taken by him."

"Yes, he must have taken the treasure. That's why the cave collapsed."

The mutated beings observing the ancient cave from the outskirts started loudly discussing, all guessing the reason for the collapse, creating a very agitated atmosphere.

Many of the mutated beings' gaze fell onto Xiao Mu at once. Subconsciously, these mutated beings surrounded Xiao Mu.

"Friend, bring out the treasure you got from inside the ancient cave. The treasure belongs to everyone, not just you."

"That's right, give us the treasure. The treasure from the ancient cave should be shared among us all. You don't have the right to monopolize it."

"Yes, hand over the treasure, or die!"

The mutated beings surrounded Xiao Mu, their eyes ruthless.

Their goal was surprisingly uniform - they all demanded Xiao Mu to hand over the treasure.

Everyone surrounded him, fully enclosing Xiao Mu. The powerful mutated beings were in the middle. These were recently 'lucky' beings who had acquired great power after coming out from the cave and had entered the Fourth Realm.

These mutated beings, some empty-handed, and others wielding various treasures, were filled with killing intent, ready to attack Xiao Mu at any moment.

Very quickly, someone noticed something from Xiao Mu's condition.

"Friend, you are injured, I advise you not to push yourself, just hand over the treasure."

"That's right, give the treasure. It's not yours to keep, it should be shared amongst all of us."

"With your injured body, can you handle all of us?"

Xiao Mu's strength originally dissuaded these mutants, after all, he had faced and killed several powerful beings who had tried to stop him from entering the cave using his Door-God Painting.

But now, Xiao Mu was injured.

What's there to fear from an injured Xiao Mu?

The courage of these mutated beings suddenly swelled up, openly threatening Xiao Mu to hand over the treasure he had obtained from the ancient cave.

"Get lost!"

Xiao Mu shouted in anger.

Despite his injuries, he didn't care about these mutated beings.

Not to mention that the Earth Seal Space held the Destruction Spear, even just the Door-God Painting he had just obtained was enough for his power to significantly increase.

As for the injuries on his own body, although they did hinder him, they won't affect him too much. As soon as he had come out from the ancient cave, Xiao Mu had consumed several Energy Fruits in a row.

While the Energy Fruits did not have a significant effect on healing injuries, they allowed Xiao Mu's strength to recover rapidly.

"Taking advantage when I'm trying to show you respect!"

"Clearly you're injured, yet still pretending to be powerful. Who do you think you are?"

"We're negotiating with you because we respect you. If you don't hand over the treasure, we'll just take it by force."

"Friends, let's join hands and kill him, then divide the treasure among us."

A mutated being instigated, many others were affected, their eyes turned red on the spot, and they immediately charged towards Xiao Mu.

"Kill!"

"Kill him first and worry about it later!"

"Damn thing, taking advantage when I'm trying to show you respect! Since that's the case, I might as well kill you and take it from your body!"

Among the mutants surrounding Xiao Mu, at least a dozen of them attacked simultaneously, all were powerful beings of the Fourth Realm.

Most of these mutants had just advanced and had not yet adapted to the Fourth Realm, but the power produced by more than a dozen people joining hands was still shocking.

A tremendous surge came, all sorts of attacks targeted at Xiao Mu simultaneously.

Xiao Mu's face darkened, his anger flared and without saying more, he swung the Door-God Painting in his hand.

The golden light swept out, the Door-God Painting, like a massive sky curtain, covered several of the foremost mutated beings, covering five or six mutants underneath.

Humm!

Immediately after, Xiao Mu held the Door-God Painting tightly and shook it forcefully.

Screams rang out, the bodies of the covered mutated beings were scattered on the spot.

"So strong! How can this be?"

"He is clearly injured! Why is his strength still so tremendous!"

The death of several mutants at the forefront instantly deterred the others.

The mutated beings laying siege to Xiao Mu hurriedly retreated, fearing that any delay would result in them being killed by Xiao Mu.

"Whoever steps forward shall end up like them."

Xiao Mu unveiled his Door-God Painting, covering the area in front of him.

The mutated beings all stepped back, not daring to obstruct his way.

Xiao Mu humphed coldly, releasing the Fire Dragon Vehicle and jumped onto it.

They were just a bunch of bullies who were only brave against the weak!

After that, he ignored the mutated beings, drove the Fire Dragon Vehicle and left directly.

All the mutated beings were intimidated and no one dared to stop him, watching helplessly as Xiao Mu left.

After Xiao Mu drove the Fire Dragon Vehicle away, he didn't directly return to Broken Truth Mountain.

Instead, he entered a nearby city, found a hotel to stay, and spent several days recovering his wounds.

Once his wounds have healed, Xiao Mu returned to Broken Truth Mountain with relief.

At this moment, there was only little over a week left for the Opportunity for Ascension task.

Xiao Mu patiently waited, no longer going out.

When there were three days left before the task began, Du Kuang came to find Xiao Mu and brought him the information he needed.

After reading the information brought by Du Kuang, Xiao Mu's expression gradually became serious.

The competition in this Opportunity for Ascension task was incredibly fierce, beyond imagination.

Not only the human world was involved, but also evil ghosts, zombies, and the Greenfin Clan.

Regardless of whether they were evil ghosts, zombies, or the Greenfin Clan, everyone qualified to participate in the task were the elites of their respective realms.

Many of them had powers comparable to Wu Song, Cen Yu, and others.

It could be said that everyone who was qualified to participate in the Opportunity for Ascension task was the cream of the crop in the Fourth Realm at Peak Perfection.

There were four top powerhouses on the human side.

They were Zhu Lingzu who had attained Dao through Yin Spirits, Shi Ruoshen who had attained Dao through rocks, Lord Black Tiger who had attained Dao through a black tiger, and Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu's outstanding performance in the Energy Fruit Task finally attracted the attention of the leaders from all sides, and he was valued by the upper echelons of the alliance.

This unexpected result was surprising for Xiao Mu.

In fact, if possible, he did not want to draw attention to himself, it would be better if no one knows about him.

However, since things had developed to this point, he had no choice but to accept it.

"Mr Xiao, the information I collected is very comprehensive, it not only covers all the participants, but also the approximate distribution of strange energy particles in the Realm of True Nothingness." Du Kuang said with a smile.

It took him a great deal of effort to collect this information. If not for his extensive contacts, he would not have been able to assemble such complete information.

Xiao Mu slightly nodded, in fact, he was very satisfied with the information Du Kuang had gathered.

Especially this piece of information, it also included a rough map of the Realm of True Nothingness.

This map really satisfied Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu took a closer look. There were many places marked on the map, such as the Death Marsh, the Fallen Canyon, Rebirth Canal, Pure Yang Stream and so on.

The name of each place was shocking to Xiao Mu.

Even without a deep understanding of these places, Xiao Mu could make some judgments just from their names.

Various strange energy particles were truly extraordinary. No wonder there was a huge difference between the Fourth Realm mutated beings and Fifth Realm powerhouses.

It's only after stepping into the Fifth Realm that one barely touches the True Realm.

Before this, everything was just within the Mortal Realm, which meant mere mortals with flesh and blood.

Mortal beings are, after all, mundane.

"Is Mr Xiao satisfied with this information?"

Asked Du Kuang again with a smile.

Xiao Mu lifted his head and slightly nodded, "Your information is very thorough, I am quite satisfied."

"So, the cooperation?"

Asked Du Kuang with an expectant look on his face.

"Let's settle it then, I agree to cooperate with you. After entering the Realm of True Nothingness, I will provide you protection to a certain extent." Xiao Mu made a promise, but he couldn't help asking, "I'm curious, which kind of energy particles do you need to ascend to the Fifth Realm? Of course, if you don't want to answer, I won't force you."

The reason he asked Du Kuang was that apart from being curious, he wanted to use it as a reference.

During his trip to the Ancient Cave, he experienced the great power of the Power of Creation and the Power of Destruction, which left him undecided about which type of Energy particles to pick.
