At the same time, he quickly moved himself, steering the Fire Dragon Vehicle to evade to one side.

Regardless, the Door-God Painting failed to completely block the onslaught of the Yin Diagram. It trembled and was crushed by the Yin Diagram, then smashed hard onto Xiao Mu's back.

Splat!

Xiao Mu opened his mouth, spurting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"All the so-called geniuses, in the eyes of this king, are nothing more than this."

"Even if you can defeat other geniuses, you are still just a Fourth Realm Mutated Being."

"The Fourth Realm is after all only the Fourth Realm; the gap between you and this king is far beyond your imagination."

"Xiao Mu, today is your day of death!"

Having injured Xiao Mu, King Chihuo laughed heartily, extremely pleased with himself.

And thus, seizing this opportunity, he withdrew the Yin Diagram.

Two Yin Diagrams enveloped the Suppressing Demon Tower and the Mountain and River Seal, respectively, and were collected by King Chihuo.

Humm!

Rumble!

The Suppressing Demon Tower and the Mountain and River Seal vibrated violently, trying to escape.

However, under the suppression of King Chihuo's Yin Qi, they shrank quickly, let out a mournful wail, and fell into the palms of King Chihuo's hands.

"These two treasures belong to me now, next are the other two."

With two treasures in hand, King Chihuo was in high spirits, staring intensely at the Great Decree and the Door-God Painting, his eyes brimming with greed.

"Xiao Mu, you really are a spendthrift. You're a lucky star in my life, not only giving up your life but also your treasures to this king, haha!"

King Chihuo laughed heartily, his gaze fixated on Xiao Mu with apparent delight but his tone was ice cold, "However, if you leave the roots while mowing the grass, it will grow again when spring comes. This king can't just let you live, so, you'd better die!"

Subsequently, King Chihuo moved again, withdrawing the Suppressing Demon Tower and Mountain and River Seal. With his right hand controlling the Yin Diagram, he tried his utmost to seize the Great Decree.

With a circle drawn with his left hand, another Yin Diagram flew out.

Xiao Mu pulled the Great Decree, placing it above his head and shot out strips of golden light, resisting the Yin Diagram.

"To tell you the truth, you've disappointed me. I thought that you, having killed Jin Shu, could at least fight me. It turns out you're nothing more than this!"

King Chihuo was immensely cold, with killing intent overflowing from his body as he spoke, full of contempt.

"This is it, grab!"

As King Chihuo roared, the Yin Light of the two Yin Diagrams became even more vigorous, simultaneously grabbing the two treasures in Xiao Mu's hands.

The Great Decree and the Door-God Painting.

He no longer wanted to give Xiao Mu any chances, he'd first grab the treasures, then kill Xiao Mu.

Under the full-strength retrieval by King Chihuo's right hand, the Great Decree let out a mournful whine, enveloped by a huge Yin Diagram, gradually being pulled away bit by bit.

It was about to be collected by King Chihuo.

"Heh heh! King Chihuo, you're going to die!"

Xiao Mu suddenly sneered, breaking away from his rage.

"Your power is indeed formidable, I can't fight against you, but, I do have the ability to kill you."

"Are you joking?"

King Chihuo curled his lip disdainfully, even as he continued his actions to seize the Great Decree and Mountain and River Seal, manipulating the Yin Diagram to even more violently plunder Xiao Mu's treasures.

Xiao Mu did not respond.

With surly expression, he took an Ancient Bronze Ring from the Earth Seal Space, put it on his right hand, and pulled out the Destruction Spear.

The moment the Destruction Spear appeared, an intense Power of Destruction immediately enveloped it; all the nearby objects began to crumble and fade into oblivion.

Under the cover of the Power of Destruction, all things would be destroyed.

Meanwhile, upon Xiao Mu's right hand, the Ancient Bronze Ring emitted a white Power of Creation, protecting Xiao Mu completely and keeping the Power of Destruction outside.

Xiao Mu's whole body suddenly sank, his feet deeply entrenched into the ground, with his entire body being pressed into the ground.

With the Destruction Spear in hand, it was as if he was holding a mountain.

After all, Xiao Mu's strength was too weak.

The Destruction Spear is a treasure for those in the True Realm, which is at the magical treasure level, forged using true power, and far surpasses all treasures at the Mortal Realm level.

"You…you…"

King Chihuo was shocked, finally his complexion changed, his eyes locking onto the Destruction Spear in Xiao Mu's hand, showing an incredulous look.

"Is that…the Power of Destruction? Is that a magical treasure? You…but how did you get a magical treasure?"

King Chihuo's voice trembled.

Xiao Mu had unexpectedly gotten a magical treasure, and appeared to be able to use it, which he found unbelievable.

Magic treasures are of the True Realm level, even he, being a Fifth Realm powerhouse, didn't dare to claim possession of one magical treasure.

A magical treasure is a rare commodity, definitely unreachable for Mutated Beings of the Mortal Realm.

"Now, King Chihuo, it's time for you to die!"

With great difficulty, Xiao Mu lifted the Destruction Spear, glaring at King Chihuo. Each word filled with uncontrollable fury tumbled out of his mouth.

"You can use the magic treasure too?"

King Chihuo revealed a look of fear, but with a stubbornly unyielding attitude and a hint of hope against hope, he refused to admit defeat.

"Strike me!"

The next moment, he roared out in fury, losing all composure. He sent the Yin Diagram toward Xiao Mu with a powerful strike.

"Guard!"

Xiao Mu quickly steeled himself, using the Door-God Painting for protection.

The Door-God Painting morphed into armour, emitting strands of golden light around Xiao Mu, rigidly protecting him.

Simultaneously, Xiao Mu raised his right hand, grasping the Destruction Spear tightly.

The Destruction Spear, being a magic-treasure-level item, instantly generated a wave of destructive force, akin to chains, and firmly locked on King Chihuo.

King Chihuo was finally consumed by fear, sensing the threat of impending death.

The Destruction Spear in Xiao Mu's hand definitely possessed the capability to kill him.

He attempted to evade, but quickly realized that it was futile.

If he hadn't severed his vital energy, perhaps with the strength of the Fifth Realm, he might still have been able to evade the onslaught of Xiao Mu's Destruction Spear.

However, after severing his vital energy, his strength was at the same level as Xiao Mu's—merely at the Perfect Fourth Realm.

The only difference was that on his body, he had one more Top-grade Artifact than Xiao Mu, possessing a portion of the Extreme Yin True Power.

This level of strength was not enough to escape the lock of a magic-treasure-level item.

Boom!

The moment the Destruction Spear materialized, it immediately tore open space, annihilating all obstructions and directly aimed at King Chihuo.

"I will kill you first!"

Overwhelmed by fear, King Chihuo completely lost his composure. He snarled furiously at Xiao Mu while he continuously conjured Yin Diagrams, hurling them towards Xiao Mu in madness.

He calculated carefully, knowing that as long as he killed Xiao Mu first, the Destruction Spear without its controller would naturally lose all its threat.

Boom!

The Yin Diagram immediately appeared above Xiao Mu's head, faster than the Destruction Spear.

Logically, it shouldn't have been this way. The problem was Xiao Mu's strength was too weak. Hastily controlling a Destruction Spear far beyond his own capabilities was too overwhelming. He couldn't bring out the Destruction Spear's real power.

Thud!

Xiao Mu activated his Dao Method Spiritual Energy throughout his body and utilized the Door-God Painting to form protective armour to fend off the Yin Diagram. Meanwhile, his body shook fiercely, and he vomited blood once again.

"How many times can you hold up?"

King Chihuo revealed a sneer, his left hand frantically drawing circles, controlling the Yin Diagram to strike Xiao Mu once again.

Suddenly, there were four Yin Diagrams hovering over Xiao Mu's head. This was the limit of the number of Yin Diagrams that King Chihuo could control.

Boom! Thud! Splutter!

One after another, the Yin Diagrams descended, and with each blow, Xiao Mu spurted out blood. The Door-God Painting vibrated continuously, carrying the threat of potential destruction.

"Haha!"

King Chihuo laughed ecstatically, his face consumed by excitement. "Xiao Mu, how much longer can you hold on? Twice, thrice? Before you kill me, I can kill you. Haha! Not only your order edict and painting will be mine, but this magic treasure spear will also be mine. Haha!"

Xiao Mu remained silent, clenching his teeth. Suddenly, a wisp of purple auspicious clouds seeped out from his body and merged into the Door-God Painting.

Instantly, the brilliance of the Door-God Painting magnified, releasing countless rays of golden brilliance, transforming the region where the Pure Yang Stream resided into a sea of gold.

This was the Extraordinary Qi that Xiao Mu had obtained when he entered the Perfect Fourth Realm. He had already used one wisp and now only two remained. At this moment, he utilised one more.

The Extraordinary Qi merged into the Door-God Painting, instantly transforming it, enhancing its firmness a hundredfold.

"How... How is it possible that you have so much Extraordinary Qi?"

King Chihuo's face turned pale, refusing to believe that Xiao Mu could possess Extraordinary Qi.

Everyone has Extraordinary Qi. It's just different because everyone's Extraordinary Qi has been used to transform their bodies and is not available for use.

Xiao Mu incredibly had an additional Extraordinary Qi, which was infused into the Door-God Painting, enhancing its power.

Boom! Thud!

The Yin Diagram slammed into the Door-God Painting but was repelled each time.

The Door-God Painting trembled violently but could not be destroyed.

"King Chihuo, please make your way!"

With the Destruction Spear in his hand, Xiao Mu slowly thrust it forward, finally reaching King Chihuo's body.

Under the lock of the Destruction Force, King Chihuo could not be spared.

"No!"

King Chihuo roared in an agonised refusal.

The Destruction Spear pierced his body, and the Destruction Force spread throughout him. His body bit by bit began to disintegrate.
