Chapter 545: Space Rupture

As the Demon-God Realm gradually dissipated, easily broken by Zhang Mu, it caused a great loss to the ghosts.

He placed power within his own realm, meaning all the ghostly attacks swirling around to attack Zhang Mu were all his power.

Now exposed under the scorching sun, the ghostly energy fled, with the ghosts losing almost half of their ghostly aura for a moment, and his strength suddenly decreased.

Zhang Mu held the Bloodvine Spear, looking at the ghost that was within arm’s reach, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Even though he had broken the opponent’s Demon-God Realm thanks to Qing Ling, Zhang Mu knew that this wasn’t the other’s full strength at all, so he had to be on high alert.

“I didn’t expect you to have so many little secrets and tricks.”

The ghost’s voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Mu’s ears, causing him to step back abruptly, creating distance between him and the person behind him.

Without Zhang Mu realizing, the ghost had already moved out, holding the Ghostly Colt, right behind Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu, still feeling frightened, glanced at the ghost, realizing that at the speed he had just demonstrated, he wouldn’t have been able to dodge any attack.

Was he hiding his true strength just now?

“The consequences of angering me are severe. I will hold you responsible for all the losses of ghostly energy, and when we return to the Netherworld, I will imprison your soul in hell, enduring the torment of poison fire to compensate for the gift you gave by breaking into my domain.”

The ghost slowly leveled the Crescent Moon Blade, seemingly preparing to break the seal once again.

“Your power must be running low, which is why you are so eager to get rid of me.”

The ghost looked at Zhang Mu with a hint of pity on his face.

“The weak always hope for the weak. I do feel the rejection from this world as a fourth-rank late-stage strength, and I do need to unseal more power again.

It’s not as you imagine. I have reached my limit, and I don’t feel like playing with you anymore.”

Zhang Mu stared at the ghost general without speaking. He couldn’t judge the truth of what the ghost general said, but it seemed like he was very calm and genuinely compassionate.

Something might go wrong.

Indeed, a surging ghostly aura escaped from the Crescent Moon Blade and crazily poured into the ghost general’s body, his face showing extreme pleasure.

The amount of ghostly aura pouring in this time is much more than before!

It directly restored the power that Zhang Mu had just depleted from the ghost general, and it was still continuing to flow into the ghost general’s body.

However, at the same time, there were significant cracks appearing in the space around the ghost general, pressing against and rejecting him.

Zhang Mu’s eyes lit up, indicating that the ghost general’s strength had grown to a point where it was completely intolerable by this world.

If that’s the case, does it mean the ghost’s time to break free is coming soon?

But the sudden words from the ghost on the other side poured cold water on excited Zhang Mu.

“This time, dealing with you, is enough.”

Yes, reaching a point where the dimension cannot tolerate it, his power will surely skyrocket!

This level higher than the late fourth-rank, could it be the peak of fourth-rank?

Thinking of this, Zhang Mu quickly used the aura around him and fled without looking back.

He only had one thought in his mind.

Escape! The farther, the better!

He could barely deal with the late fourth-rank, but the ghost did not give him a chance at all. It seems like the power will be raised directly to the peak of fourth-rank, which will really cause trouble.

Zhang Mu immediately rejected the ghost general’s idea without even thinking about it.

Joking aside, interrupting him, isn’t that playing into his hands? This ghost general is not at the crucial moment of reaching the fourth-rank peak, he is just gradually extracting the power he originally had.

“Escape, where can you possibly escape to? When I fully restore to the fourth-rank peak, it will be the moment to end it all.”

Laughter from the ghost general filled Zhang Mu’s ears recklessly as he tried to escape, moving further and further away, yet feeling like he couldn’t shake it off.

But he had to keep going, only by delaying time did he have a chance to win.

However, after a short while of him leaving, all the overflowing ghost energy had been completely absorbed by the ghost general.

Every time he made a move, there would be a slight crack in the surrounding space.

He really had returned to the fourth-rank peak!

The entire Era Battlefield turned dark, the sky gloomy as if mourning.

Everyone looked up at the only glowing ghost in the sky, feeling the urge to escape, but wondering where they could run to.

Now, the ones who regained their freedom were early fourth-rank evolving creatures. However, in front of the ghost’s power, they seemed so tiny. They all forgot about their past strength in the group and scattered away with Zhang Mu.

The staring ghostly aura surged, turning the original sea of clouds into these terrifying ghost clouds pressing down towards everyone, as if the entire sky was being devour.

And the main target of the ghost clouds was Zhang Mu!

Such a commotion directly attracted the originally chaotic Death Phoenix, Hachikuju, and White Phoenix. They were all shocked by the power released by the ghost.

The peak aura of the fourth-rank directly intimidated them in the midst of the chaos.

There was a hint of despair in Death Phoenix’s eyes. She had once imagined if it was possible to break free from the ghost’s bondage and escape, so she wouldn’t suffer in the Netherworld.

But now, it seemed like a slim chance.

Hachikuju’s eyes had a strange look, wondering who could force the ghost to release such power.

Seeing the ghost general at the peak of the fourth rank, Hachikuju lost all thoughts of fighting. Maybe he could try fighting a fourth-rank in the later stage, but at the peak of the fourth rank, he felt like he wouldn’t even be a challenge. It made him feel a little emotional.

But when White Phoenix saw a fleeing figure, a mysterious feeling rushed over him.

He felt that this person was very unfamiliar, yet there was a hint of familiarity.

By chance, Zhang Mu raised his head while fleeing, causing Yuan Rui to feel a sudden shock.

It’s him!

He’s back!

The person she had been yearning for, holding onto a faint hope, had returned.

It was like finding something she had lost for a long time, suddenly appearing beside her.

That overwhelming feeling of joy and tears!

Yuan Rui suddenly felt like crying, ever since Zhang Mu left, she had become strong, but the only thing she regretted was not stopping Obsidian Beetle from leaving.

Now with Zhang Mu suddenly appearing, she remembered all the mistakes she made over the years, feeling like a young girl again.

But Yuan Rui suddenly realized something, her joy turning into sadness in an instant.

She was no longer human now, but a White Phoenix of pure energy.

Will he still recognize me?

Yuan Rui saw dark clouds closing in on Zhang Mu, without hesitation she dashed out, ignoring Hachikuju’s calls behind her.

A pure white phoenix, the only comforting light in the darkness, bravely faced the massive dark clouds!

She had to protect Zhang Mu!
