Chapter 470: Crucial Moment

The final sound felt like a heavy blow to Zhang Mu’s heart, and his intuition about the crisis disappeared instantly afterward.

But Zhang Mu knew deep down that it wasn’t because the crisis had vanished, but rather, it had elevated to a power he couldn’t foresee.

How could it be unbroken?

Zhang Mu had tried various methods just now, even charging forward himself, but to no avail.

The illusion of Grave Blood remained just that, an illusion, with no change in aura. This was the most peculiar thing about Zhang Mu; he could clearly perceive that even though the ritual was ongoing, the spiritual power of the Grave Blood illusion wasn’t increasing.

Because he sensed danger, he had to stop attacking and quickly leave Grave Blood’s side.

Now that the sudden feeling of danger was gone, Zhang Mu remembered Grave Blood’s chanting voice and the deep responses of his corpse puppet army, which made him consider a possibility that even he found absurd.

Swish! Swish!

After a moment of silence, one of the corpse puppets in the army suddenly stopped moving, and a white beam of light quickly shot out from its head, as if summoned by Grave Blood’s illusion, and returned to his body.

Grave Blood’s mental strength instantly grew slightly stronger.

“Don’t let him complete this!”

Zhang Mu instinctively shouted this sentence, but the others were powerless to stop the corpse puppets on the other side.

The corpse puppets had already given up fighting, but except for Zhang Mu, only a few second-rankevolvers with psychic abilities were still able to move. The rest were immobilized by Grave Blood’s unintentionally released mental pressure.

They had never seen such a bizarre scene before, as if doomsday had arrived once again. Even without Grave Blood’s mental pressure, most people’s legs were trembling.

After Zhang Mu yelled out those words, the heads of nearly two thousand corpse puppets began to glow with white light.

Beams of white light shot up into the sky, and even though Zhang Mu tried to attack them with his mental power, he couldn’t stop them!

Compared to their agile movements, Zhang Mu’s mental attacks seemed stiff and clumsy.

Almost at the same time, all the white beams of light rushed into Grave Blood’s body, expanding the illusion like inflating a balloon.

At this moment, Grave Blood looked extremely monstrous, with his features and body swelling up as the white beams of light recklessly roamed inside him.

But he spoke a few words in a low voice, and the white beams gradually calmed down, submitting to Grave Blood’s body. The abnormalities on his body slowly disappeared, and even his eyes returned to normal.

Zhang Mu took a deep breath, unable to keep his calm expression any longer.

He finally understood what these familiar white beams of light were all about.

He initially thought that these white beams of light were Grave Blood’s dispersed mental power, now he realized that they were much more than that.

And it’s so unbelievable wrong!

It was already incredible to hide psychic power among two thousand corpse puppets, but what Grave Blood did far exceeded Zhang Mu’s worst-case scenario.

What he hid in the bodies of the corpse puppet legion was not their psychic power at all.

Those densely packed white light clusters are his soul!

He actually divided his soul into more than two thousand pieces!

Without the support of their souls, the corpse puppets became shells and fell to the ground one after another, their bodies decaying at a visible speed.

The thirteen Era Sub-merchants’ corpse puppets, seemingly not storing the soul of Grave Blood, were quietly returning to their coffins while Grave Blood used psychic pressure to intimidate most people into a state of sleep.

Seeing the surging aura of Grave Blood in front of him, Zhang Mu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

This is the intimidation of absolute power!

Third-Grade Peak!

Grave Blood actually crossed the huge gap between the initial stage of third-grade and the peak of third-grade directly.

He used up all his resources to advance to third-grade, and his accumulation was barely enough to help him advance, thanks to Sharira’s help without having to comprehend a power awakening ability by himself.

“Isn’t it strange how he can have this kind of power?”

Suddenly, a mental message rang in Zhang Mu’s mind, it was the voice of the King of Warhorses.

“Do you know?”

Zhang Mu replied, and the voice of the King of Warhorses rang out again.

“He tore apart his own soul and placed it in different bodies to nourish. So the power you just saw in him is not strong, but after all the souls are reunited, the power he will have will be immeasurable.”

He is very bold, and his ambitions are also great.

“Right now, he should be busy putting together the pieces of his soul that are returning, so he can’t help right now.”

“Can we do something to him now?” Zhang Mu quickly asked after hearing the analysis from the King of Warhorses.

“Difficult, his spiritual pressure is still strong. Maybe only you and Hachikuju working together can cause him some damage, but not now. I will remind you when the time comes.”

The King of Warhorses’ words stirred up a storm in Zhang Mu’s heart, and he hurriedly asked, “Weren’t you unwilling to help me? Why are you thinking about reminding me now?”

“It’s not unwillingness, it’s inability.”

Facing Zhang Mu’s question, the King of Warhorses sounded a bit helpless.

“Although I am loyal to the Khan and unwilling to harm you humans, especially the possible descendants of the Khan on this land, that’s why I have been recuperating in their horse farm, helping them manage the wild warhorses.”

“Otherwise, do you really think they can tame so many warhorses on their own?”

Zhang Mu looked puzzled and continued to ask, “So what is it then?”

The King of Warhorses sounded unsure, “I don’t know either, my deepest instinct tells me that helping humans would bring disaster upon me.”

Remember, if I directly help you attack this half-dead person, there will be immediate consequences.”

Zhang Mu fell silent, realizing he had to wait patiently for the crucial moment mentioned by the King of Warhorses.

At this moment, the Ginseng King had disappeared somewhere, seemingly wary of the current state of Grave Blood and unwilling to linger.

Hachikuju shattered the third-layer spiritual space left by the Ginseng King and broke free, returning to Zhang Mu’s side.

Upon hearing Zhang Mu’s mental message, he didn’t act impulsively.

Helpless, they could only trust the words of the King of Warhorses unconditionally and had no choice but to resort to the final option.

Both of them quietly waited for the crucial moment mentioned by the King of Warhorses.

Their sensitivity to danger had heightened after advancing to the third rank, and they exchanged a glance.

If we can’t stop Grave Blood, then humanity will truly be finished!
