“Come, I will heal you,” Yu Suo chanted an incantation and used God Dew to heal Chu Mu’s soul as well as the burns on his body.
The flame gradually faded away from his head, he sat down on the stairs tiredly.
At this moment, the flame contained in his body lost control and poured out again. It was not the silver flame or black flame, but the crimson flame from Crimson Sol. It looked as if he turned into a crimson Half Devil.
Yu Suo’s hand stroked past Chu Mu’s cracked skin. The moist flower nectar dripped onto the skin and slowly healed the skin.
“How many left?” asked Chu Mu as he spat out a sigh.
“Around half,” answered Yu Suo.
“Then let’s continue,” said Chu Mu.
Outside the palace, waves of destructive energy rippled out. The human leaders were probably already fighting against Heaven Palace’s Guardian Palace members. It was unknown which side would eventually obtain victory.
However, one thing was for sure. Without an Undying rank, fighting against Heaven Palace was utterly foolish.
“You can’t handle it,” said Yu Suo.
“I can,” said Chu Mu in a serious tone.
“Can what? Can’t means can’t!” said Yu Suo furiously.
Chu Mu was startled and looked at the suddenly angry Yu Suo confusedly......
“Take a rest. I will distribute those Monument Tears from your father into these Evil Good Flowers,” said Yu Suo with a calmer tone.
Chu Mu nodded and spoke, “Then I will be outside, call me after you’re done.”
“Sure.”
Chu Mu walked down the stairs and exited the palace.
A row of crimson burning footprints still remained along the path he walked......
A gust of cold wind blew past, Chu Mu took a glance at Tianxia City absentmindedly.
Destructive flashes occurred everywhere in Tianxia City. Tall buildings were destroyed in the battle between human leaders, armies and Heaven Palace.
The intact city a moment ago looked completely different now. In addition to the looming dark clouds, it gave off a suffocating feeling.
Chu Mu did not participate in the battle, because he had something more important to do.
He jumped onto the roof of Holy Stem Flower Holy Region palace. The roof was tall and pointed. Sitting on the roof, Chu Mu could see the flashes of techniques unleashed by those Immortal rank battles. They were beautiful yet deadly.
“Wuwuwuwu~!” Mo Xie sat on Chu Mu’s shoulder and cried out, looking really worried.
Chu Mu put his arm before his chest, and Mo Xie obediently climbed into Chu Mu’s hug. Then, it raised its head and looked at Chu Mu’s eyes.
“Wuwuwuwu~!” Mo Xie made quiet mutterings and used its little tongue to lick Chu Mu’s face.
Chu Mu was absentmindedly watching the sky filled with destructive energy. After feeling the itchiness from Mo Xie’s tongue, he regained his senses.
“It’s not your fault, your mutation should have reached its limit.”
“Wuwuwu~!” Mo Xie was still crying gloomily.
Solar Eclipse, Ancient Flood Dragon Person, Monument Tear Individual, all of these suddenly weighed down on Chu Mu and made him feel helpless.
“When we walked out from that little island, we never imagined that we will reach such a height, right?” Chu Mu rubbed Mo Xie’s furry ears.
Mo Xie half narrowed its eyes and nodded, it really enjoyed Chu Mu’s caress.
Actually, Mo Xie did not care what rank it could reach. It liked battles, it liked sleeping, but it liked staying next to Chu Mu the most.
In the danger they faced this time, Mo Xie felt Chu Mu’s helplessness. It also wanted to do something for him.
However, it did not know just what happened to itself. Its mutation blood which would always boil at the crucial moment was like stagnant water now. After so many years, it did not show any sign of racial mutation......
Could it really be its final mutation?
Mo Xie did not care how many times it could mutate. What it cared about was whether it could help Chu Mu when he needed its power.
Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s threat was the situation where Chu Mu needed power the most. Mo Xie attempted to activate its mutation blood many times, but it only felt sleepy in the end.
It did not know what happened to its body. Little Hidden Dragon, Zhan Ye and Dead Dream could at least fight against Heaven Palace’s Forbidden Army for Chu Mu. Yet it could not do anything other than lying on Chu Mu’s shoulder.
When Chu Mu was absorbing Crimson Sol energy, Mo Xie felt really bad when it saw Chu Mu persevering despite feeling so much pain......
“It’s fine, it’s fine,” consoled Chu Mu.
Why would Chu Mu blame Mo Xie for not mutating after so many years? To Chu Mu, the greatest blessing from the heaven was to bring Mo Xie to him.
When he was almost impossible to become a soul pet trainer, Mo Xie’s appearance gave him hope. The reason he was able to overcome the obstacle of every rank was mostly because of Mo Xie’s mutation leading the path.
When Chu Mu became a devil, he would feel lost. That was because his heart lost the most important piece. Without that longing, he would still be immersed in slaughtering and would not go to the human world to search for his soul.
At Wanxiang City, when facing the powerful Evil Good Queen, at the moment Chu Mu needed to regain his dignity, Mo Xie’s mutation changed everything......
Chu Mu knew very well that if he did not have Mo Xie on his journey, he would either be swallowed in the sea of cultivators or died in some unknown corner. He would not be able to fulfil his soul pet goals and gain lovers, relatives and friends.
In cultivation, Chu Mu had been working very hard without slacking off a bit.
However, there were things that could not be achieved just by working hard. When he faced those obstacles in the past, Mo Xie’s mutation helped him overcome them. Perhaps, Mo Xie which could raise its strength infinitely gave Chu Mu a sense of security.
This time, Chu Mu knew that Mo Xie’s mutation had really reached the limit.
Mo Xie had already helped him overcome many obstacles, and the obstacle this time needed Chu Mu to overcome himself......
Hence, no matter how hot or tyrannical the Crimson Sol energy was, Chu Mu had to grit his teeth and endure. This was truly the final hope.
“Wuwuwu~!” Mo Xie’s eyelids felt heavier.
It was getting sleepy again. It was unknown when it started, its sleepiness became really severe and it would just fall asleep somehow.
“Just sleep, after you wake up, maybe all of this will be over. You can continue to eat the deserts Ye Qingzi made for you, and you will gain worthy opponents......” Chu Mu stroked Mo Xie’s neat and clean fur.
Mo Xie did not want to sleep. It bit its tongue to stay awake, but its eyelids were so heavy it was almost unable to keep its eyes open.
“It’s alright, sleep,” Chu Mu bent forward and kissed its forehead.
Mo Xie was beginning to hate its sleepiness. It tried all kinds of ways to fight against the devil of sleepiness, but Chu Mu’s kiss wiped away all of its fighting spirit. It sheepishly closed its eyes and slept enjoyably.
After talking to Mo Xie for a while, Chu Mu’s mood also calmed down.
Not for anyone else, even if just for Mo Xie, he must not fall in this Solar Eclipse.
Raising his head and watching the city filled with destructive energy, his gaze was no longer gloomy or confused like before.
It was not the end yet.
There was still Crimson Sol energy. As long as he could endure the burning from the remaining half of the energy, he or Yu Suo could reach an even higher realm.
Chu Mu’s breathing gradually became composed, the crimson flame burning on his body was no longer so violent......
In this lightless world, lightning flashes, flame flashes and blood flashes sparkled all over the ruined city. Flashes of death filled every place, energy storms generated from clashes between soul pets exploded everywhere......
At the center of the city, on the roof of the solely standing Holy Stem Flower Holy Region palace, a man burning in crimson Devil Fire stood alone, with a soundly sleeping beautiful demonic fox in his bosom......
In Chu Mu’s life, there had been countless occasions like this, one fox, one man, accompanying each other in loneliness.
Be it facing the army or an invincible enemy, or facing such a chaotic world, this sense of dependence had never changed.
And it would not be allowed to change!
......
“Huhuhuhuhuhu~! The crimson flame flickered in the wind violently, pouring out from Chu Mu’s skin, eyes and mouth.
These were the impurities from the flame leaving Chu Mu’s body. It was clear to see that the flame seeping out from Chu Mu’s skin was no longer crimson, but the original black and silver!
These were Chu Mu’s original Devil Fire!
However, they seemed to be different from the original Devil Fire. Both black and silver Devil Fire became much more powerful than before!
This was Crimson Sol’s power!
Chu Mu originally thought that the energy would show a strong rejection towards his body and would be impossible to integrate as one. However, the moment his mentality changed, the Crimson Sol energy perfectly integrated into his soul, getting absorbed by his source flame!
The uncontrollable flame became tame once again, and its power had clearly grown much stronger. This gave Chu Mu a pleasant surprise!
As expected, Crimson Sol was the purest energy in this world. Chu Mu’s strength had been stuck at the peak of Immortal rank. There was nothing that could increase his strength anymore, including Ning Maner’s nurturing. However, after absorbing around fifty Evil Good Flowers just now, his strength actually increased!
