In that instant when Mu Chen's body charged into the door of darkness, he could clearly sense the surrounding darkness receding like a tidal wave. Behind the door of darkness was another world.
It was a crimson world, with the ground and sky being crimson in colour. The ground was riddled with holes and sinister-looking cracks. Clearly, an intense battle had occurred in this place.
When Mu Chen entered this crimson world, his body tensed up as a purplish-golden lustre surged on his shoulder, swiftly recovering the bloody hole. With his physique that was comparable to a Divine Beast, this sort of injury wasn't much of a threat to Mu Chen.
Vigorous Spiritual Energy fluctuated around Mu Chen as he cautiously swept his gaze around. But just when he was about to move forth, his face suddenly changed. That's because he realised that the space on his right had fluctuated as a slender silhouette flew out from the distorted space and appeared before him.
The two of them faced each other and were briefly stunned. Shortly after, their faces changed and they swiftly took a few steps back.
"Mu Chen?!"
That silhouette exclaimed as her face was filled with shock. Clearly, the appearance of Mu Chen had greatly shocked her.
"Haha, so it's Miss Zhantai."
After the initial shock, Mu Chen swiftly calmed down as he looked at Zhantai Liuli with a smile-yet-not-a-smile expression.
When Zhantai Liuli saw the smile on Mu Chen's face, she couldn't help forcing a smile as her gaze flickered, concealing the disbelief in her heart.
She clearly did not expect that Mu Chen would come out of the Four Spiritual Battle Formation at the same time as her.
After passing through the test, they entered this place.
"Mu Chen actually relied on the five scattered troops to defeat the Black Tortoise Battle Will Spirit?
How did he do it?! "Zhantai Liuli couldn't help but clench her fists as she bit her lips.
"Ha ha, looks like Miss Zhantai is very surprised that I am able to appear here?" Mu Chen smiled at Zhantai Liuli and said.
He crossed his arms and looked at Zhantai Liuli mockingly. The latter had obviously made a fool out of all of them.
If Mu Chen hadn't tried his best at the last moment and forcibly combined the power of the five Battle Wills, he would have died.
If they allowed Zhantai Liuli to seize the initiative, they would have been used by her for nothing.
Zhantai Liuli took two steps back and said with a forced smile, "King Mu's strength is outstanding, so it's not surprising that he can break through the Black Tortoise Battle Formation."
Her Azure Troop had yet to enter this place, so Zhantai Liuli's strength was only at the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm.
Not only was the latter astonishingly talented in Battle Will, there wasn't any threat to Mu Chen, who could defeat Fang Yi with his own strength.
After losing the Azure Troop, Zhantai Liuli no longer had the capability to confront Mu Chen. After all, she was different from a monster like Mu Chen. Not only was the latter astonishingly talented in Battle Will, but he was also a monster.
Not only was the latter astonishingly talented in Battle Will, his cultivation wasn't any weaker than geniuses like Fang Yi.
"Miss Zhantai is truly scheming." Mu Chen faintly smiled.
When Zhantai Liuli heard his words, she bitterly smiled and no longer tried to conceal it. "This Hunting War is a competition, to begin with. I believe that our Divine Pavilion and the Great Heaven Domain are enemies, so it's to be expected that we would do something in the dark, right?
With King Mu's intelligence, I'm afraid that you've never trusted me, right? "
Zhantai Liuli's frankness had left Mu Chen a little surprised, before he narrowed his eyes. "Then, we'll do as you say.
You don't have anything to say about what I want to do to you, right? "
"We're enemies, to begin with. So there's nothing strange about it even if you kill me here." Zhantai Liuli calmly said.
"Really?"
A cold light gathered in Mu Chen's eyes, vaguely surging with killing intent. That's because Zhantai Liuli was truly a threat. Although she seemed to be at Mu Chen's mercy right now, the moment she regained control of the Azure Troop, even if Mu Chen borrowed the power of the five troops, he wouldn't be able to deal with her.
Mu Chen wasn't confident in dealing with her.
Zhantai Liuli squinted her eyes as she calmly said, "But compared to killing me, I believe that the inheritance of the Sky Formation Emperor should be what you want the most. Because of some reasons, I know more about this place. If you cooperate with me, we might have a higher chance of obtaining the inheritance."
"Cooperate?
Until now.
You still want me to trust you?
Furthermore, if I kill you, I believe that no one will be able to compete with me for the inheritance of the Sky Formation Emperor, right? "Mu Chen ridiculed.
"There are many unusualness in this Death Ruin.
I believe that with King Mu's cautiousness, it's impossible for you to think that the inheritance of the Sky Formation Emperor can be obtained so easily, right?
Although we've all broken out of the formation, who can be sure that the real threat hasn't just appeared? "
Zhantai Liuli lightly smiled as confidence was restored in her eyes. She raised her face and looked at Mu Chen. "Based on the information that I've gathered, King Mu is a decisive person. If he really wants to kill me, he would have already made his move. Why are you still wasting your breath here?"
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he faintly looked at Zhantai Liuli. He was a little startled in his heart, since the latter's calmness and intelligence had exceeded his expectations. That's because, at this moment, it was just as Zhantai Liuli had said, he was filled with caution and uneasiness towards this abnormal place.
Although he had broken out of the formation, for some reason, he had a feeling that it wasn't the most dangerous thing in the Death Ruin.
Furthermore, Zhantai Liuli knew more about this place than him, and she also possessed some power that could be of help to him. This was the reason why he did not choose to destroy Zhantai Liuli the moment he saw her.
"If you want to cooperate, then show me something that I can trust."
The coldness in Mu Chen's eyes gradually faded, but he still stared at Zhantai Liuli.
Zhantai Liuli bit her rosy lips and said after a brief hesitation, "You're right. It doesn't mean that we can smoothly obtain the inheritance after breaking out of the formation. Because according to the information that I've obtained, this might be the most dangerous place in the entire Death Ruin."
Mu Chen's face slightly changed as he knitted his brows. "What do you mean?"
"That's because the Four Spiritual Army isn't the only one that has been invaded by the evil aura. The Sky Formation Emperor was also invaded by the evil aura of the Fiend Clans back then. So the most dangerous one here is the Sky Formation Emperor, who has been invaded by the evil aura."
Zhantai Liuli's face turned a little grave as she continued, "The Sky Formation Emperor's body isn't damaged due to the evil aura in his body. If I have not guessed incorrectly, he's probably waiting for us in the depths of the formation."
"You're saying that we've broken through the formation and entered a land of certain death?"
Mu Chen sneered. That's because according to what Zhantai Liuli had said, if the Sky Formation Emperor had been invaded by the evil aura and lost his consciousness, then he wasn't someone that they could deal with. But right now, Zhantai Liuli still chose to enter after knowing this information. Was there something wrong with her head?
"The reason why I chose to enter is naturally because there's an opportunity."
Zhantai Liuli also understood Mu Chen's doubts, so she faintly said, "Back then, when the Sky Formation Emperor was invaded by the evil aura, he had also made preparations. He had set up a battle formation to suppress him and the evil spirit that had invaded his body in the depths of the Death Ruin, so that the evil spirit could not make use of his body to wreak havoc. As long as we can reach the depths and activate the battle formation that the Sky Formation Emperor had left behind, we will be able to suppress the evil spirit in his body and allow the Sky Formation Emperor to recover his remaining consciousness. At that time, we will be able to obtain the inheritance from him."
Hearing Zhantai Liuli's words, Mu Chen's face started to change. He could sense that Zhantai Liuli wasn't lying this time. Her words had some degree of truth to them.
Naturally, it was impossible for Mu Chen to completely believe her because of this. After several encounters, Mu Chen already understood that Zhantai Liuli was as cunning as a fox.
"How do I activate the formation?" Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he asked the most crucial question.
"I have once obtained an ancient book by chance, which was left behind by the Sky Formation Emperor. The method to activate the formation is also in that ancient book. Therefore, I am the only one that can activate it." Zhantai Liuli spoke without any fluctuation in her tone.
"Doesn't that mean that if I want to obtain the inheritance, I will need your help?" Mu Chen smiled as he spoke.
"That's the truth."
Zhantai Liuli nodded her head and paid no attention to the coldness in Mu Chen's laughter. "Don't even think about asking me for the method to activate it. Even if you kill me, I will not tell you. Only if you cooperate with me, can we truly win together."
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zhantai Liuli. The latter was also looking at him without any intention of retreating. The two of them looked at each other for a long time, before Mu Chen finally retracted his gaze. After a brief silence, he nodded his head. "Then we'll do as you've said. But let me be frank, if I find anything amiss with you, I will immediately take your life. Don't think that you're my opponent. Without the Azure Troop, it's as easy as flipping my hand to kill you!"
Towards the end, Mu Chen's voice was filled with killing intent.
Sensing the killing intent in Mu Chen's voice, Zhantai Liuli wasn't afraid. On the contrary, she revealed an elegant smile and stretched her hand out towards Mu Chen. "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Mu Chen faintly smiled as he shook her hand. The two of them had formed a cooperation once again. However, perhaps only the two of them knew how much trust they had in this cooperation.
