It was a kind of Chaos Power, offering unmatched protection.

As soon as the Chaos-like Power emerged, it thoroughly safeguarded Xiao Mu, like the ultimate shield, isolating him from everything.

How could the absorption force of the ancient hemp rope penetrate the Chaos-like Power? It was immediately halted.

"How...how is this possible?"

King Tianji was greatly shocked. As soon as the sucking force toward the life force on the ancient hemp rope was blocked, he felt it and couldn't believe it.

"You...what sort of method are you using? How can you block the Yin and Yang Soul-hooking Rope's absorption of life force?"

A Yin and Yang Soul-hooking Rope? Based on its name, it seemed to be something used by the Underworld.

Xiao Mu did not give it much thought and calmly responded, "Take a guess!"

The Chaotic True Seed began to vibrate, and the Two Forces of Life and Death turned. The Life Force from King Tianji's body immediately flowed back through the ancient hemp rope and entered Xiao Mu's body.

"How...how is this possible?"

This time, King Tianji's face completely changed, he was utterly terrified.

His life force was fading rapidly. In the blink of an eye, King Tianji began to age, changing from a sturdy ghost to an old ghost.

"Human, let go of me, let me go! I command you, let go of me immediately!"

King Tianji yelled at Xiao Mu, terrified to the extreme.

The speed of the life force's backflow from his body was too fast, beyond imagination. He was afraid that he would age to death in a short amount of time.

"When I asked you to leave earlier, you wouldn't go. Now, you want to leave, but you can't."

Xiao Mu ignored King Tianji's howling. He tightly clutched onto King Tianji, pinning him against his back.

At the same time, the Power of Life and Death continued to circulate, absorbing the life force within King Tianji's body in reverse through the Yin and Yang Soul-hooking Rope.

"Ah....."

King Tianji cried out in pain, it was absolutely horrifying.

It seemed like he made a difficult decision, his facial expression was extremely pained.

His entire ghost body suddenly turned into dust, scattering onto Xiao Mu's back.

At the same time, a flash of black light, and King Tianji's original ghost form appeared at a distance in front of Xiao Mu.

He obviously went through unimaginable pain, his face was extremely contorted, his whole body trembling, and his aura had significantly weakened.

"Human, you really should die, really should die! You actually forced me to use the escape-from-life technique!"

King Tianji gritted his teeth at Xiao Mu, he was in extreme pain and fury.

The escape-from-life technique is a secret art related to the Yin Force. Every use means a huge consumption that cannot be recovered.

This consumption equals to a drop in strength, which can only be recovered through harsh cultivation.

"I must kill you, turn you into a yin corpse specimen, and leave it in the Underworld!"

King Tianji, angry to the extreme, made another move. A flicker of black light, a pitch-black A5 size paper appeared in front of him.

As the paper released a black light and shined on Xiao Mu, the paper immediately revealed Xiao Mu's shadow.

Blood-colored writings gradually appeared on the paper at the position of Xiao Mu's shadow, it was clearly Xiao Mu's name.

"Heh heh!"

King Tianji let out a cruel and triumphant sneer, his deeply eerie eyes staring at Xiao Mu.

The skull on the branch of his left eye suddenly cut across the paper with its long tongue.

It seemed as if a name had been crossed out from the Life and Death Record.

A red bloodline was added to Xiao Mu's name.

"Weaken, hahaha!"

The two other mouths of King Tianji burst out laughing at the same time.

Xiao Mu's whole body shook, and he instantly became incredibly weak.

This time, even Xiao Mu's face couldn't help but change. Compared to the previous exit of his shadow, this time, it was more like his soul had been hooked away.

With the dissolution of his soul, his body immediately suffered an unimaginable weakeness, weak to the extreme.

Without hesitation, the Chaotic True Seed vibrated, and the Life Force was released to begin replenishing his consumption.

But to no avail, the weakness he felt did not seem to be related to his life force but was purely a reduction at the level of the soul.

Xiao Mu's face finally changed.

The black paper that appeared in front of King Tianji was undoubtedly a treasure of the Underworld.

A true treasure of the Underworld, similar to the Life and Death Record.

Although Xiao Mu couldn't figure out why this treasure of the Underworld only had one page.

But even if there was only one page, its power was beyond imagination.

Even a practitioner like Xiao Mu, who possessed the Two Forces of Life and Death, was still controlled when encountering such a treasure of the Underworld, unprepared.

"Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Human, are you not dead yet!"

King Tianji laughed hideously, the black papers released a black light again, shone towards Xiao Mu. At the same time, the mouth on the skull hanging from the branches next to his right eye opened up, the blood-red tongue stretched out, ready to sketch on the black paper for the second time at any time.

Xiao Mu, once shone by the black light, was acutely aware of the consequence. The moment he is targeted again by the black light, his figure would reappear on the black paper followed immediately by his name.

And King Tianji's second droplet-like tongue would instantly sketch his name for the second time.

Having his name sketched out for the first time made him incredibly weakened.

If it happened for the second time, what would it be like? Weakness? Or a even more horrific event?

Xiao Mu dared not imagine.

King Tianji has three red tongues - what will be the consequence if his name is sketched out three times?

Would it result in complete death?

Three souls?

Is this the real loss of the three souls?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu, not daring to be negligent, steps out. The bi-colored Brilliance of Yin and Yang expands under his feet, and the huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram appears, expanding outward in a three-dimensional shape.

Following Xiao Mu's step, Yin and Yang switch, and his body completely transformed into black and white light, disappearing from the spot, showing up right behind King Tianji.

"Boom!"

Xiao Mu strikes immediately at King Tianji.

He holds the Death-Expediting Clock in his hand.

Upon channeling the Power of Life and Death into it, the power of the Death-Expediting Clock is instantly activated. The spring on the left side is fully wound, casting King Tianji right into it.

The active figure of King Tianji appears on the Death-Expediting Clock, each and every movement identical to King Tianji at this moment.

The clock hand of the Death-Expediting Clock starts moving.

Once it completes a cycle, King Tianji will die.

King Tianji's body starts to age again. Unlike Xiao Mu, he lacks the Two Forces of Life and Death, unable to replenish the lost life force.

Without the capability to replenish his life force, King Tianji's body ages at an unimaginable speed - in the blink of an eye, he seems to have aged several years.

"Ahh...."

King Tianji is terrified, unable to see through what sort of tactic Xiao Mu is using. The speed of his body's aging brings him to the peak of horror.

With a flash of black light, King Tianji disappears from where he was.

The next moment, a black mountain descends from the sky, heavily smashing towards Xiao Mu's rear side.

This is a Secret Art related to the power of Yin - Yin Mountain Suppression!

Utilizing one's own Yin Force to form a Yin mountain, the opponent is subdued.

But having been subdued once by King Tianji, how could Xiao Mu be negligent and be subdued by his opponent again?

Taking a step out, with a swift flicker of the black and white light, the vast Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram swirls around like a hula hoop. Xiao Mu's figure disappears from its original location, appearing in the sky on the left-front side instead.

At this time, he is stepping right on the white fish eye of the huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram, raising him high up.

In doing so, he successfully evades King Tianji's Yin Mountain Suppression, at the same time also avoiding the black light falling again from King Tianji's black paper.

"Absorb!"

Xiao Mu holds on to the Death-Expediting Clock with his right hand, ensuring the clock hand continues its movements, while his left hand stretches out, with all five fingers extending at once - Five Elements Separation Slash begins to extract the Five Elements Power within King Tianji's body.

The Five Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth are each extracted into a thread, wrapped around the five fingers of Xiao Mu.

"Ahh~"

King Tianji lets out another scream.

The rapid drain of the Five Elements Power filled him with deep fear.

His power, after all, cannot compare to King Daluo's. The reason he could hold his own against Xiao Mu was merely because the black paper in his hand.

"Heh heh!"

Xiao Mu lightly chuckles and suddenly yanks out his left thumb.

A thin thread of True Gold Power was pulled out from King Tianji's body.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth - the Five Elements True Gold Power directly determines the strength of one's attack.

King Tianji, having his True Gold Power pulled out, instantly lost his ability to attack.

"I... I... you... you... what have you done to me?"

King Tianji stands stunned, frozen on the spot, his eyes fixed on Xiao Mu, disbelief evident in his eyes.

"Do you still want to continue this battle?"

Xiao Mu steps out in Tai Chi Steps, landing in front of King Tianji, leisurely looking at King Tianji.

He doesn't plan to kill this ghost immediately - after all, he needs this ghost to lead him to the real location of the Immeasurable Cave.
