Chapter 584: Chapter 455: Netherworld Gate, Heterochromatic Eyes Instant (Two-in-One, Request for Tickets!)

The Blood Flame could cause serious damage to the Demon Tree Warrior, and Chu Mu didn’t want the Demon Tree Warrior to get burned, so he quickly told the Demon Tree Warrior to retract its arm.

After the Demon Tree Warrior retracted its arm, the Blood Winged Triple-eyed Beast lost its balance in the air and crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

However, the Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast’s body was also extremely strong, and it wobbled back to its feet, looking as though it hadn’t been hurt at all!

“I really didn’t expect you to have two Ninth Rank intermediate monarchs!” Jiang Zhi didn’t care about the Blood Winged Triple-eyed Beast’s injuries, but instead, a calm smile appeared on his face.

Standing proudly beside Jiang Zhi was the Blood Flame Elf, as beautiful as the setting sun, with its overwhelmingly domineering blood flame dancing in the wild wind.

This Blood Flame Elf summoned by Jiang Zhi had also reached the Ninth Stage First Order, and judging from its momentum, it was a soul pet somewhere between a low-grade monarch and an intermediate monarch!

The Demon Tree Warrior was stronger than this Blood Flame Elf by a whole level, but due to the element’s mutual suppression, if the battle situation wasn’t handled well, the Demon Tree Warrior might still wind up at a disadvantage.

“I don’t want to waste time either, let’s just summon all our soul pets and fight!” Jiang Zhi hooked up his mouth corner, quickly reciting the summoning spell and directly performed a double summon!

Two summoning patterns appeared quickly beside Jiang Zhi, and two soul pets with different auras gradually emerged from the soul pet patterns!

On Jiang Zhi’s left side, a demon insect creature with eight arms and eight wings floated in mid-air. Its pitch-black body and bizarre and disgusting shape gave off a very ferocious and terrifying feeling.

The familiar, yet nauseating, scent of the demon insect came in waves. Chu Mu knew what it was the moment he saw the creature being summoned. It was the Sky Demon Worm that he often saw back in the Wogu Domain!

The eight arms and eight wings of this Sky Demon Worm were enough to show that this was a Sky Demon Worm Monarch!

“Ninth Stage First Order—Intermediate Monarch—Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm.” Chu Mu frowned.

Back when Chu Mu was near the Stone Hall of the Great Chu Noble Family, he had faced a Ninth Stage Sky Demon Worm Monarch. The Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm was a low-grade monarch, and now Jiang Zhi’s Sky Demon Worm had obviously been strengthened to reach the level of an intermediate monarch. It could be said that Jiang Zhi’s Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm was even stronger than the one Chu Mu faced outside the Stone Hall of the Great Chu Noble Family back then!!

At that time, the Ninth Stage monarchs were extremely powerful existences for Chu Mu, and even in his half-demon state, he couldn’t defeat them. Now, Chu Mu was facing an even more terrifying Sky Demon Worm than he had once had trouble defeating. Suddenly, a certain battle passion was slowly igniting within his body!

On the other side of Jiang Zhi, the soul pet he summoned was visibly weaker in momentum, but Chu Mu wouldn’t take it lightly. That’s because the soul pet Jiang Zhi summoned was a demon spirit, which was born with the ability to hide its strength. Chu Mu’s soul sense could see through the demon spirit’s disguise, but he couldn’t guarantee if the demon spirit has other hidden skills.

When Chu Mu saw Jiang Zhi’s lineup of four soul pets, his face gradually turned serious.

Jiang Zhi hadn’t expected Chu Mu to have this kind of strength, and Chu Mu himself never thought that Jiang Zhi already had two Ninth Rank Intermediate Monarchs.

According to Chu Mu’s previous speculation, young people who could have a Ninth Rank Intermediate Monarch would be considered among the pinnacle of the second-tier, and having two Ninth Rank Intermediate Monarchs would qualify as the strongest in the second-tier according to Chu Mu’s impression half a year ago.

In fact, most people in the World’s Chosen Competition used this method for rough classification. Chu Mu had never included Jiang Zhi in this category before, although he knew that the so-called strongest recruitable people probably only showed on the surface. But now he had to reassess this Luoyu Gate strongman!

Since Jiang Zhi had already summoned four soul pets, Chu Mu couldn’t continue dual controlling. He quickly recited a spell and summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast in front of him.

Night had fallen, and the Night Thunder Dream Beast could move freely through it. When Chu Mu finished chanting the spell, the Night Dream Beast had appeared quietly in front of him, its black body almost blending into the darkness, with only its white feathers moving with the breeze proving its existence.

“Hooi~~~~~~~~~~” After the Night Thunder Dream Beast appeared, it immediately made a faint cry.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast was at the Eighth Rank Ninth Stage – Low-grade Monarch, its strength was lower than Jiang Zhi’s Blood Flame Elf and two ranks lower than Jiang Zhi’s two Ninth Rank Intermediate Monarchs. Moreover, the enemy had four soul pets, in this situation, Night Thunder Dream Beast would have little confidence, or it didn’t know why Chu Mu summoned it at this time.

Chu Mu stroked the dream horn of the Night Thunder Dream Beast and said to it, “Don’t lose confidence in yourself. I believe what you lack is a hearty battle. This battle is the best opportunity for you to metamorphose!”

“Hooi!!!!!!”

Inspired by Chu Mu, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s fighting spirit quickly ignited and its dream pupils took on the deepest color. The dark aura slowly enveloped around its body!

“Demon Tree, Wind-binding Spirit, change the battlefield.” Chu Mu controlled the Night Thunder Dream Beast and ordered the Demon Tree Warrior and the Wind-binding Spirit.

The roots of the Demon Tree Warrior quickly wrapped around the stalactites spanning between the two mountain peaks. Using this contraction technique, it swung itself onto the steep mountain.

The roots of the Demon Tree Warrior could also take root in rock at will, and it could constantly change positions between the steep stone walls by stretching and relaxing its rope-like arms.

The Wind-binding Spirit itself was very agile when moving. It could even deliberately circle around some high and low stalactites and flaunt its superb flying skills.

So, the Wind-binding Spirit quickly escaped from the previous deserted battlefield and flew gracefully around Chu Mu, along with the Night Thunder Dream Beast, shuttling between the huge stone bridges spanning between the two peaks.

“Trying to make up for such combat shortcomings by using the terrain? You really underestimate me, Jiang Zhi!” Jiang Zhi lifted the corners of his mouth, jumped onto the Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm, and led his soul pets towards Chu Mu.

Apart from the Blood Flame Elf from the Elemental World, which moved a bit slower, Jiang Zhi’s soul pets were all very fast. Jiang Zhi instructed the Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast to carry the Blood Flame Elf while flying, so this problem was resolved easily.

…

“Chu Mu is in trouble now. Thankfully I didn’t bet with that woman, otherwise, I would have lost two hundred million.” Ye Wansheng secretly sweated for Chu Mu from the city wall.

Ye Wansheng knew that Chu Mu had lost a single spirit and could only use triple control. At present, Chu Mu’s soul pet lineup could not surpass Jiang Zhi by much, and Jiang Zhi’s manipulation abilities were also quite solid. It was extremely difficult to win under such circumstances.

“I never thought Jiang Zhi would hide so well.” Zhan Hong sighed.

Eighth Young Master Fang Ze watched as Chu Mu and Jiang Zhi gradually disappeared into Mirror Sword Mountain, also guessing Chu Mu’s intention of changing the battlefield.

“It seems that we can hardly see their fight.” Zhan Hong could only occasionally see energy flashes behind Mirror Sword Mountain through the darkness of the night, and he could not see the fight between Chu Mu and Jiang Zhi.

Others were in the same situation. With the arrival of the night and the shift of the battlefield, everyone went from observing the peak showdown from a distance to guessing who would emerge from Mirror Sword Mountain. Would it be the Devil Guardian of Soul Hall Chu Chen or Jiang Zhi, who had hidden his strength?

Gradually, Chu Mu and Jiang Zhi attracted more and more people. Those who had completed their trials were now gathered here to watch and wait for the outcome.

Shen Yicheng’s group was also standing on the city wall, watching with an onlooker’s expression.

“Jiang Zhi hid quite well.” Shen Yicheng gave a cold smile. Before the World Decree, he hadn’t expected Jiang Zhi to possess two Ninth-stage intermediate monarchs.

“No matter how well he hides, he’s just trash.” Mysterious youth Zuo Xiao didn’t care at all.

“Trash is trash, but with his strength, he shouldn’t have a problem taking care of that little Chu Chen. Initially, I wanted to be the first to trample on him.” Shen Yicheng said.

“As a Guardian, even if he is defeated by Jiang Zhi, it just means he won’t get the highest reward. Young Master Shen will have plenty of opportunities later.” The short, thin man next to Shen Yicheng said with a somewhat sycophantic tone.

Shen Yicheng ignored him and deliberately glanced at the Eighth Young Master Fang Ze on the city wall not far away.

Fang Ze, the eighth young master of Soul Hall, did not pay attention to Shen Yicheng either. He was just tapping his chin and thinking.

After a long time, it seemed that Fang Ze had an answer and muttered, “Chu Chen changed the battlefield, not merely to use the terrain, could it be that he wants to summon stronger soul pets and use this way to distract attention?”

…

In fact, the Eighth Young Master Fang Ze’s guess was very accurate!

Chu Mu’s specific purpose for changing the battlefield was to summon Mo Ye to join the fight!

Jiang Zhi had some connection with Shen Yicheng. This time he encountered Jiang Zhi in the Guardian Realm, and it was almost impossible for Chu Mu to win against him by relying on three-controlling strength. So, Mo Ye must join the fight!

And, since Mo Ye would appear, it meant that Chu Mu had no intention of letting Jiang Zhi live and leave!!!

…

“Si Ye!!!”

When he arrived at a high point in the darkness of Mirror Sword Mountain where others could not see clearly, Chu Mu immediately had the Night Thunder Dream Beast activate its domain skill, increasing Night’s strength by a level.

Jiang Zhi’s Demon Spirit was also quite strong, quickly locking onto Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast and launching a spiritual attack on it!

Chu Mu jumped off the Night Thunder Dream Beast and stood high on a stalactite bridge nearly a thousand meters high. Under the protection of Si Ye’s domain, he let the Night Thunder Dream Beast attract the attention of the Demon Spirit on purpose.

The Wind-binding Spirit was already exhausted, so Chu Mu quickly recalled it back to the Soul Pet Space and began to chant the spell. With Si Ye’s protection, he summoned Mo Ye!

Two kinds of flames intertwined. First, Mo Ye’s nine domineering, awe-inspiring fox tails manifested, followed by the proud and wicked Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox stepping on hot blood flames and Demon Fire Evil Flames. The aura of an intermediate monarch had instantly surpassed Jiang Zhi’s Blood Flame Elf!

Mo Ye had reached the Ninth Rank intermediate monarch stage in itself. Under the effect of the Double Crown Flame, Mo Ye’s strength could be increased by another level. The Moonlight’s effect further increased Mo Ye’s strength, making it reach the level of a high-order monarch!

It can be said that without attribute suppression, Mo Ye’s strength is definitely stronger than Jiang Zhi’s Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast and Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm by at least two levels!!

“Woooohooo!!!”

The silver moonlight shone through the cold mist of Mirror Sword Mountain and illuminated Mo Ye, releasing the Nine-Tailed Fox’s aura of chilling evil in an instant!!

Overwhelmed by this imposing aura, Jiang Zhi, who was controlling the Eight-winged Sky Demon Worms, was completely subdued. The calm and disdainful expression on his face turned into one of horror and astonishment!

A Ninth Rank Lower Stage – Intermediate Monarch could be said to be the limit of strength for a second-tier member. Jiang Zhi could never have imagined that Chu Mu would have a soul pet with ranks higher than this! The shock made him even forget about his next move!

Chu Mu wanted Mo Ye to show his full strength to intimidate Jiang Zhi’s four soul pets.

After finishing Mo Ye’s summoning with his spell chant, Chu Mu didn’t save his Soul Power but directly moved on to a new Soul Skill!

The spell Chu Mu chanted wasn’t very proficient, but he still finished it before Jiang Zhi could react.

Chu Mu’s pupils suddenly revealed a mysterious and enchanting gleam. This gleam turned his black irises unfathomably evil and captivating. A glance at them was enough to send shivers down one’s spine!

The mysterious light in Chu Mu’s eyes became more and more dazzling, but one could clearly feel that the light in his eyes was slowly rotating. The movement of any object reflected in his eyes seemed incredibly slow compared to any other creature’s eyes!

“Rhino Pupil!” Once Chu Mu finished the transformation of his heterochromatic eyes, the eighth-level Domain Skill was activated immediately!

At this time, the eyes of Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior, Night Thunder Dream Beast, and Mo Ye showed the same slow rotation as Chu Mu’s eyes!

With the activation of the Domain Skill, all Chu Mu’s soul pets would have the special heterochromatic effect in their eyes, just like Chu Mu’s half-demonized state, for one minute. Under their eyes, they could see through everything, it wasn’t just an increase in evasion ability and response speed, but they could also find their opponent’s weaknesses and unleash ruthless attacks!

After Chu Mu’s Rhino Pupil Skill was activated, the eyes of his three soul pets emitted a chilling, strange light that made Jiang Zhi shiver!!

This strange light made Jiang Zhi feel like all his actions and thoughts were being seen through, no matter how skilled and experienced he was in controlling his soul pets, he seemed naive and laughable under the eerie influence of the eighth-level Domain Skill!

“Kill!” Chu Mu coldly uttered!

Chu Mu didn’t expect to kill all of Jiang Zhi’s soul pets within one minute, his target was the Demon Spirit fighting against the Night Thunder Dream Beast!

Jiang Zhi’s demon spirit was only an intermediate monarch at the eighth rank ninth stage. Chu Mu, as a Five Thought Soul Master, coupled with the effect of his heterochromatic eyes, made any camouflage and speed of this demon spirit utterly weak!

“Wuuu!!!” Mo Ye let out a long cry, his hooves igniting the crown flame underneath him. The wild fire together with Mo Ye’s movement left vivid marks on the stalactite bridge!

At this moment, Mo Ye was heading straight for Jiang Zhi’s demon spirit!

“Shua!” Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast easily evaded Jiang Zhi’s demon spirit’s attack. Its dream gaze became even more fierce under the effect of the rhino pupils, planting a Nightmare Hell very successfully into the demon spirit’s spiritual world!

This demon spirit was quickly restrained, and Jiang Zhi’s face turned pale in fright from the sudden fierce attack. He hurriedly ordered his other soul pets to rescue his revealed demon spirit, while he also began chanting a spell!

The Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox’s strength was three ranks higher than his demon spirit. If his demon spirit couldn’t evade, it would definitely be killed in an instant!

“Wuuu~~~~”

Mo Ye accelerated in mid-air, under the effect of the Rhino Pupils, allowing him to fully detect the movements of the Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm and Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast!

Flying and stepping, Mo Ye ran an incredibly trajectory under the dim moonlight, directly passing through the blockade of the Eight-Winged Sky Demon Worm. The Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast even unleashed powerful beast-type skills, but Mo Ye’s body produced five illusions and dodged them all…

Under the moonlight, Mo Ye’s speed was faster than that of same level demon spirits. Under the effect of the Rhino Pupils, these two ninth rank intermediate monarchs were simply unable to block Mo Ye!

“Dark Imprint!”

Finally, Jiang Zhi broke out in a cold sweat and completed his soul skill, which was a dark attribute sealing skill!

The dark claw marks appeared eerily in front of Mo Ye’s five illusions; this unique dark skill seemed able to discern Mo Ye’s real body, accurately grabbing Mo Ye’s body and attempting to imprint Mo Ye onto the stalactite with darkness.

When Chu Mu saw Jiang Zhi release this skill, his heterochromatic eyes shone even brighter and a smile spread across his face!

“Mo Ye, Seal Breaking!”

Moonlight Fox racial skill, Seal Breaking!

If Jiang Zhi had unleashed other soul skills, perhaps he might have been able to hinder Mo Ye, and his demon spirit would have had a slim chance of survival.

However, Jiang Zhi was using a sealing skill, and with his soul sense, how could he possibly seal Mo Ye’s strength that had reached this level?!

“Crack~~~~~~~~~~~”

The dark seal only slightly hindered Mo Ye’s sprint before his speed increased once again, even surpassing the four unsealed Nine-tailed Shadows by half a beat!

“Homeless Flame Fox!!”

Without any hesitation, Chu Mu unleashed his strongest single-target attack skill on Mo Ye as he got close to the demon spirit!

Mo Ye’s true body first extended nine tails, which tightly locked onto Jiang Zhi’s demon spirit body!

Then, the four remaining shadows rapidly extended their flaming tails, completely restraining Jiang Zhi’s demon spirit!

“Wuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”

Mo Ye let out a sinister and arrogant cry, and instantly, forty-five Crown Flame Nine Tails shattered with a clang!!!

As the forty-five fox tails shattered into nothing, the bones of the demon spirit were torn apart by the terrifying force, creating a horrifying sound that made Jiang Zhi feel as if his own bones were breaking!

With a three-level difference in strength and being completely caught off guard, the demon spirit’s defense and vitality were weak. After the Five-Star Flame Fox, this demon spirit was not only with shattered bones, but even its internal organs had been thoroughly crushed due to this terrifying force!

Instant kill!!!

Mo Ye’s skill instantly killed Jiang Zhi’s demon spirit!!!

Jiang Zhi’s face was still full of horror when a strong spiritual impact suddenly struck his soul!!

His complexion instantly turned pale, his breathing became extremely difficult, and his pupils seemed to burst!

For soul pet masters who have reached this level of strength, any damage to a single spirit is extremely lethal because it might severely affect their ability to use soul skills and change soul pets in the future.

“Demon Tree Warrior!”

When Chu Mu kills, he never gives his enemies any chance to catch their breath!

Previously, the Demon Tree Warrior had been continuously climbing using its roots. Actually, during this process, it had already buried its roots among the steep mountains and stalactites, forming a huge root net. When the root net was unleashed, it completely engulfed Jiang Zhi and his soul pets!

If these root nets had been released earlier, they wouldn’t pose any threat to Jiang Zhi. However, now they were extremely fatal, as Chu Mu’s heterochromatic eye effect hadn’t ended yet, and Chu Mu was about to launch a fierce attack on the injured Jiang Zhi within this range!

Jiang Zhi’s face turned extremely ugly, his eyes gradually filled with fear!

He would never have thought that Chu Mu’s hidden strength would be even more terrifying than his own!

And Jiang Zhi’s arrogant pursuit meant that he stood no chance of leaving alive…

…

…

In the lonely moonlight, cold and desolate, it spilled between the two completely contrasting mountain peaks.

At night, under the haze, these two mountain peaks and the stalactites that spanned them truly formed a netherworld gate made of giant chest bones. From a distance, the towering and hideous sight was visually stunning!

Nearly ten thousand people had gathered at the south city wall, and they watched from afar at the eerie battlefield. From the start of the battle, the voices of discussion had never ceased, as everyone wanted to know who would win this fight!

Suddenly, a flickering fire ignited in the distance, casting a sinister silence over the far-off darkness. The deep red fire illuminated a small part of the jagged Netherworld Gate.

At the same time, one could faintly see the reflection of the fire at the base of the mountain, where a gradually clear figure, indifferent and cold, slowly walked towards the southern city wall…
