261: Chapter 259: Internal strife, and Mo Jie's attempt to escape

Divine light shone upon the daluo dao sword as dao patterns spread out, flickering with a dazzling cold gleam that shattered all approaching vines. Under the continuous suppression of the internal dao patterns, the severed vines were completely sealed, unable to undergo Rebirth or reconstruction.

Cangmu Yuantian roared. A massive face emerged on the trunk of the giant tree. As branches and leaves swayed, space shook violently, as if the entire world were falling to seal off all directions.

Both Gu Shengge and the daluo dao sword felt that extreme sealing power. Cold light flickered in Gu Shengge's eyes. With a wave of his hand, the daluo dao sword swiftly flew back and landed beside him.

Facing the descending spatial power, Gu Shengge did not panic. He gripped the daluo dao sword with one hand and then soared into the air, heading straight for the falling spatial barrier.

This was no ordinary spatial barrier; it contained the Great Dao Laws of the Muling Realm. This was world power, formed by Cangmu Yuantian fusing with the Origin of the Muling Realm's Heaven and Earth Great Dao. As it suddenly descended, it was as if the entire Muling Realm were smashing down on Gu Shengge from above.

With the daluo dao sword in hand, the Blood Thunder Longspear behind Gu Shengge pierced toward the vault of heaven, simultaneously stabbing into the World Barrier above.

"Boom!"

The World Barrier shook violently, and a huge gap soon cracked open, torn apart directly by the daluo dao sword and the Blood Thunder Longspear.

Cangmu Yuantian's face contorted. The massive tree body suddenly lit up with green divine light, which began to flow continuously into the spatial barrier ahead, further strengthening the world power within.

The torn area on the barrier slowly began to heal, pushing the Blood Thunder Longspear and the daluo dao sword back continuously.

Gu Shengge maintained the daluo dao sword and the Blood Thunder Longspear as he fell steadily. The nine-layered dao pagoda remained outside his body, providing him with constant Great Dao empowerment.

During the stalemate, a figure suddenly rushed up from below. In his hand, a dark green blade pierced straight toward Gu Shengge.

"Clang!"

The green blade struck the barrier of the nine-layered dao pagoda, sending sparks flying. dao patterns flickered on the pagoda's barrier, preventing the green blade from piercing through.

Gu Shengge looked at the sneak attacker and said coldly, "Duan Wuya, I let you escape last time. I didn't expect you to actually dare show yourself again!"

Duan Wuya gave a bizarre smile. He opened his mouth, but Mo Jie's voice came out from within: "Hehe, Gu Shengge, this seat is not Duan Wuya. Long time no see!"

Gu Shengge's brow twitched slightly. "Mo Jie? I knew a selfish person like you could never sacrifice yourself to fulfill another's goals. As I thought!"

Mo Jie sneered, "Gu Shengge, what we do is our business, but today, you must die here!"

Gu Shengge let out a disdainful chuckle. "Break through This Dao Seed's defense first! After hiding for so long, let This Dao Seed see your progress!"

Mo Jie controlled Duan Wuya's body, becoming increasingly proficient with it. After converting it into a Law Corpse, this body was essentially no different from his own; he just hadn't chosen to fully take Possession of it yet.

He activated thick Great Dao Laws, triggering a resonance with Heaven and Earth. In an instant, the entire world of the Muling Realm vibrated in sync.

Cangmu Yuantian, who was suppressing Gu Shengge, sensed the anomaly and said in shock and anger, "Do not affect the Heaven and Earth Great Dao of the Muling Realm, otherwise I fear even I will have no way to suppress Gu Shengge!"

Mo Jie, down below, felt his forehead break out in black lines upon hearing this. "Wait, if this seat doesn't borrow the Heaven and Earth Great Dao of your Muling Realm, how am I supposed to kill Gu Shengge? Can't you find a way to balance it?"

Cangmu Yuantian stared coldly at Mo Jie and said icily, "You deceived Duan Wuya, saying you would help him achieve the state of a Law Corpse, but now you have seized his Physical Body. With your level of credibility, do you think I would give you the chance to touch the Heaven and Earth Great Dao of the Muling Realm?"

Mo Jie looked bewildered. "This seat is only borrowing Great Dao Power, not touching the Great Dao itself. This is possible in any realm, but not in your Muling Realm? Are you insane?"

If it weren't for the fact that Cangmu Yuantian controlled the entire Muling Realm and its Great Dao, he would have wanted to turn his spear around right now and kill this idiot Cangmu Yuantian first.

Gu Shengge had been feeling anxious, after all, he was facing the combined attack of two Peak Hedao Realm experts, and he feared they might have some trump cards left.

But now it seemed his worries were somewhat redundant. The relationship between these two was not harmonious; they were even guarding against each other, making it impossible for them to immediately unite against him.

Thinking of this, a savage grin appeared on Gu Shengge's face. "Mo Jie, you'd better hurry up and flee! Although you can't kill This Dao Seed, you still have your life. If you flee to another realm, you might find someone willing to cooperate with you!"

Mo Jie's face turned ashen. He couldn't borrow much of the Muling Realm's Heaven and Earth Great Dao, and thus, he couldn't cause any real damage to Gu Shengge.

On careful thought, the only option was to flee first. As Gu Shengge said, at least he could stay alive. As for that idiot Cangmu Yuantian, let him be beaten to death by Gu Shengge!

He made a decision immediately and quickly retreated. "Cangmu Yuantian, since that's the case, I'm leaving. You stay here and wait for death!"

The ancient tree swayed, emitting true divine light. "Jie jie jie, did I say you could leave? Since you've come to the Muling Realm, stay here forever!"

Before Mo Jie could react, the roots of the ancient tree burst out from the ground. Each one was a chain condensed from Great Dao Runes, containing boundless killing intent.

"Mo Jie, you took Possession of Duan Wuya, didn't you? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Now, offer all your power to me! I will surely help you kill Gu Shengge and avenge your hatred!"

Mo Jie didn't expect this guy to sneak attack him. He hastily released Duan Wuya's Divine Soul to persuade him.

"Cangmu Yuantian, I'm not dead yet! I intentionally let Mo Jie control my body. You can trust him, do not resort to infighting!"

Cangmu Yuantian did not answer, simply dragging him down into the ground with a crash.

The moment Duan Wuya's body touched the ground, it was pierced by roots and planted directly into the earth.

Duan Wuya felt incredibly indignant and bitter. His life was truly miserable; he had almost been devoured by the Deep Sea Demonic Dragon before, and now he was being used as fertilizer by Cangmu Yuantian.

The moment he was pierced by the roots, he sensed them beginning to absorb his cultivation and Great Dao Laws. His body was gradually weakening, and he estimated that before long, even his Divine Soul would be absorbed and refined.

By then, he would truly be dead! "Mo Jie, do you have any way to help me escape? No, you and I are one now, do you have any way to save yourself?"

Mo Jie's Divine Soul shrunk into a ball and said coldly, "Wait. When the battle between him and Gu Shengge reaches its most intense moment, we will find an opportunity to flee!"

Duan Wuya looked at Mo Jie's Divine Soul blankly and said bitterly, "Can we really escape? Why do I feel like you're lying to me?"
