No hope for eternal life

Chapter 382 Mu Changsheng's Plan

After a moment of hesitation, Yuan Ao decided to help Mu Changsheng and said to the people around him: "Yuan Ming, Yuan Huo, follow me to help Chen Aiqing."

Yuan Ao chose to help Mu Changsheng because he felt that Mu Changsheng had always done good deeds and deserved help. Of course, the most important thing was that there were still many monks who had passed the tribulation in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Most of these monks were from the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal family and were absolutely loyal to Yuan Ao. Yuan Ao was confident that these forces were enough to suppress Mu Changsheng and his 50,000 troops.

Liang Zhong saw Yuan Ao and others coming to kill him, and he couldn't defeat Mu Changsheng for a long time, so he couldn't help but become anxious.

Finally, Liang Zhong suddenly threw away the sword in his hand and rushed towards Mu Changsheng recklessly, shouting frantically: "Die!"

"Oh no! He's going to self-destruct." Mu Changsheng's heart sank. He saw Liang Zhong's plan and quickly ran away.

However, Mu Changsheng was accompanied by an army of 50,000, and his speed was far inferior to that of Liang Zhong, a cultivator at the peak of the tribulation period. So in just a moment, Liang Zhong had caught up with Mu Changsheng.

When Liang Zhong caught up with Mu Changsheng, his self-destruction also began completely. Yuan Ao and the other three who had come to support them retreated one after another. In this world, the peak of tribulation is already the highest level of cultivation. No one can withstand the self-destruction of a cultivator at the peak of tribulation. This is common sense.

Mu Changsheng is now facing the self-destruction of a peak tribulation cultivator. At this moment, Mu Changsheng has two choices. One is to use the 50,000 troops behind him to help him share the power of the self-destruction. The price is that his 50,000 troops will be wiped out and not a single one will be left. The second choice is for Mu Changsheng to withstand the power of the self-destruction alone. Although he has various means, this is the first time he has faced the self-destruction of a peak tribulation cultivator. He is not sure if he can withstand it.

Of the two choices, the former is undoubtedly safer and the latter is more risky, but Mu Changsheng knows very well that his chance to complete the task is right in front of him, and if he wants to complete the task, the 50,000 troops behind him are indispensable.

"Once I miss this opportunity, it will be impossible to complete the mission even if there are still eight years left." Mu Changsheng made up his mind secretly, so he chose to bear the self-destruction alone.

Mu Changsheng first mobilized 50,000 troops to launch an all-out attack to weaken the power of the self-destruction.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng activated all the God-Slaying Array disks and placed them outside the army layer by layer. The seventeen-layer, sixth-grade high-level God-Slaying Array was the first to resist the impact of the self-detonation.

Then Mu Changsheng activated nineteen sixth-grade high-level defensive talismans. Like the God-Slaying Formation, these defensive talismans protected the army layer by layer.

The difference is that this time, Mu Changsheng was not under the protection of the talisman, but was in the gap between the talisman and the God-Slaying Formation, because he had to stay here to share most of the remaining power of the self-detonation for the 50,000 troops.

Mu Changsheng had just finished all this when the force of his self-explosion broke through the seventeen-layer defense of the God-Slaying Formation, and Mu Changsheng was the first to bear the brunt of the impact.

In an instant, Mu Changsheng activated the two major secret techniques of Five Thunders Infusion and Blood Qi Transformation, and at the same time activated the sixth-grade top-level Void God Talisman.

While Mu Changsheng was activating the Void God Talisman, he also poured out the power of the Void God Talisman, all of which was used to block the force of self-destruction.

Even so, the power of the self-destruction was still extremely powerful and rushed towards Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng's strong body was almost vulnerable to the power of self-detonation, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Fortunately, Mu Changsheng was not overwhelmed instantly, which gave him time to use the Spirit Purification Talisman to heal his wounds.

So, Mu Changsheng continued to use the Pure Spirit Talisman to heal his wounds, while also using the sixth-grade top-level Void God Talisman to continue to offset the power of self-destruction.

In this way, the use of the Pure Spirit Talisman and the Void God Talisman one after another allowed Mu Changsheng to reach a strange balance with the power of self-destruction, making him feel like he was bathing in the power of self-destruction.

Half a moment later, the aftermath of the self-explosion finally dissipated. Everyone thought that Mu Changsheng must be dead, but in the end they saw that Mu Changsheng and the 50,000 troops were still alive.

Yuan Ao's pupils trembled when he saw this, and he was shocked: "How is this possible? How can he still be alive!"

At this moment, Yuan Ao's fear of Mu Changsheng instantly reached its peak. Even Mu Changsheng was able to withstand the self-explosion of Liang Zhong, who was also at the peak of the tribulation. One can imagine how he felt.

Afterwards, Yuan Ao exchanged glances with Yuan Ming and Yuan Huo, and they all understood each other's thoughts. If Mu Changsheng was not eliminated, he would become a big problem in the future.

Thus, Yuan Ao and the other two approached Mu Changsheng in tacit understanding, and their purpose was self-evident.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng had used up his last Spirit Purification Talisman, and his injuries had not yet fully recovered. However, this was already the best result. If he had not been training his body and strength, he would have collapsed long ago.

Seeing Yuan Ao and the other two slowly approaching, Mu Changsheng knew without hesitation that the other party wanted to take the opportunity to deal with him. He was not surprised, and this was exactly what he wanted.

So, Mu Changsheng turned around and ran away with his 50,000 troops without saying a word.

In order to calm Mu Changsheng down, Yuan Ao hurriedly said hypocritically: "My dear Chen, please don't leave. I have something important to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng not only did not stop, but ran even faster.

Seeing this, Yuan Ao's murderous intent became stronger, and he no longer concealed it. He directly ordered the remaining people of the Northern Yuan Kingdom: "Chen Fan has evil intentions, follow me to kill the traitor."

As he spoke, Yuan Ao had already taken Yuan Ming and Yuan Huo to chase after Mu Changsheng.

Although the remaining Beiyuan monks were a little confused, they did not dare to disobey Yuan Ao's orders and could only follow.

On the other hand, Mu Changsheng’s escape direction was actually purposeful. He was running towards Qianshi Cliff.

Before rushing to the Longhe battlefield, Mu Changsheng had instructed Qiu Rang to keep an eye on the situation on the Longhe battlefield at all times, and to lead the remaining 60,000 troops there as soon as the war was over.

So, Mu Changsheng and Qiu Rang ran towards each other and soon met each other. The 110,000-strong army was assembled!

At the same time, Yuan Ao and the other two, relying on their strength and speed advantage, had already shaken off the Bei Yuan group and were closely following Mu Changsheng.

The 50,000-strong army instantly became an 110,000-strong army. Yuan Ao and the other two discovered it at the first time, and they immediately realized that the situation was not good.

Yuan Ming quickly suggested, "Your Majesty, let's retreat first, gather all the monks from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and then fight them."

At this time, Yuan Ao and the other two were thousands of miles away from Mu Changsheng, so they had enough time to escape. However, because Mu Changsheng was leading a large army and his speed was extremely slow, it was impossible for him to catch up with them.

Yuan Ao looked at the 110,000-man army on the opposite side and felt a little scared. He immediately adopted Yuan Ming's suggestion: "Okay, this guy has wolfish ambitions. Let's avoid the sharp edge for the time being and make long-term plans."

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng finally smiled: "Since the three of you are here, don't leave."

Before Mu Changsheng finished his words, a God-killing Formation rose from under the feet of Yuan Ao and the other two. This was a large chain formation that Mu Changsheng had set up when he was escaping. Yuan Ao and the other two were so focused on chasing Mu Changsheng that they forgot to pay attention to whether there were any traps under their feet.

Mu Changsheng knew that the Chain God-Slaying Formation alone could not completely trap Yuan Ao and the other two, so the moment the formation was activated, he led his army towards the direction where Yuan Ao and the other two were.

When Yuan Ao and the other two broke out of the formation, Mu Changsheng had just arrived within a hundred miles. This range was already very close for a cultivator undergoing tribulation. Mu Changsheng quickly controlled the army to work together and launch a spiritual sea attack on Yuan Ao and the other two.

After this attack which was almost comparable to that of the Divine Sea Realm, Yuan Ao, who was at the peak of the Tribulation Realm, barely managed to save his life, but Yuan Ming and Yuan Huo did not have that ability, and they were both reduced to ashes in an instant!
