While the death spirits were conversing among themselves, some of the living Invincibles started contemplating withdrawal. There was no need for them to wait here until the tunnel was fully open. Some were setting their sights on the Source Return Blade. Without the tunnel there, could the Source Return Blade be moved? Thus, some Invincibles started sneaking off. However, those from the major races were in no rush. They all waited indifferently, including the Heaven Department head. Yes, a divine weapon was extremely useful. Everyone wanted something like that. But making an attempt on that weapon now was tantamount to suicide. He Tu had merely displaced it slightly to shift the tunnel away. But that did not signify that the Source Return Blade was up for grabs. Suddenly, a loud hum rang out and a massive blade appeared in the sky. Above the Devote King's residence, the sky itself was split into two. Then, a silhouette appeared out of the void. Someone sneered and said, "Fool." That was a Pseudo Invincible from the nether race. Clearly, he was attempting to steal the Source Return Blade while everyone was distracted. He should know his place. Did he not notice that even the Invincibles were not making any attempts? Did he think that he was better than the Invincibles? The nether was cut into two before dropping into the pond. With that, the nine-leaf skylotus matured at an even faster speed than before. The expressions of some Invincibles changed. There were nine skylotuses in the pond. The ninth skylotus was the one blooming this time. But with the addition of a Pseudo Invincible corpse, the pond turned into a blood pond. But the water turned clear again in only a split second. Everything seemed to have returned to how it was, but the other eight skylotuses had clearly grown slightly than before. Someone laughed and said, "Looks like the skylotus is lacking in nourishment. Just look at what a corpse can do. Perhaps we can cause another skylotus to bloom if we can bury everyone present in the pond." Those words caused many people to shiver. The nine-leaf skylotus...was starting to feel eerie. It was actually capable of growing from the nourishment of corpses. Nobody was aware of this before. Perhaps it had simply been too long since a skylotus bloomed. With that, some people fully gave up on their initial plan. The Source Return Blade was still untouchable. The nether Pseudo Invincible had merely touched the blade lightly, yet he had been killed before he could even release his three bodies. And his corpse failed to cause even a ripple in the pond. It seemed to have dissolved right after touching the pond. This marked the death of the fourth Pseudo Invincible in the mansion. Su Yu had caused the deaths of two while Lan Tian had killed one. Supreme experts who could act with impunity outside the mansion seemed so helpless in the mansion. Qin Zhen was also greatly surprised by what he saw. He looked at Xia Longwu and asked, "You're a saber user. Can you take that blade?" Xia Longwu merely glanced at Qin Zhen without saying anything. He did not feel like answering the stupid question. Zhu Tianfang smiled and gave the answer, "Stop dreaming about it. The difficulty is too high. Of course, it's not hopeless. The Source Return Blade has the duty of suppressing the death tunnel. The moment the death tunnel ceases to exist, it can naturally be moved. But the tunnel still exists. It has merely been shifted away. Maybe a Pseudo Emperor can take it away forcefully, but I doubt anyone here can do it." "Yes, there is hope for a Pseudo Emperor to do it." Xia Longwu interrupted Qin Zhen and said, "No Pseudo Emperors will have the courage to enter. It is simply too risky. Have you ever heard of a Pseudo Emperor entering the mansion?" Qin Zhen nodded. He looked at the death tunnel again and asked, "Are we ignoring the death spirits?" "What else? Look for an opening and sneak off together." Xia Longwu looked at Zhu Tianfang and sent a voice transmission, "It's time for us to leave or they might try to surround us. With death spirits in front of us and enemies behind us, things might get very difficult for us. We need to retreat before the tunnel opens fully." Zhu Tianfang nodded slightly, looked around, and sent a voice transmission, "The moment the tunnel opens, charge the dragons. Those two won't have the courage to stay for long as well. They will try to retreat and we will follow their route. Regroup at the Devote King's residence. The skylotus will fully bloom soon, but don't be the first to harvest it. The first to do so will also be everyone's target." Yes, making the first move would give us a chance to flee with the skylotus in hand. But the probability of that succeeding was very low. Something bad might happen with that strategy. The first person to make the move might end up dying and damaging the skylotus in the process. Suddenly, a massive rumble rang out. The sound could be heard throughout the seventh level. He Tu started roaring with laughter as the gate behind him finally took form fully. Slowly, the gate swung open. A shrill hum rang out, but the Source Return Blade was merely shaking instead of attacking. It was charged with only suppressing the death tunnel, not death spirits in particular. The death tunnel itself was still located below the saber. Its gate had merely been shifted elsewhere. Thus, the conditions for the blade to act remained unfulfilled. The Heaven Department head looked at the gate and said, "If He Tu were to stop maintaining the gate, it would return to its initial location while these fellows would be subjected to the restrictions of the heavenly laws again." He Tu laughed and said, "This is enough. This gate will last no less than nine days. That is enough for us to kill all of you. How arrogant of you. You will learn to never play with fire again after this." These people had really allowed him to release the death spirits. They were simply courting death. The gate finally swung open fully. The entire world started shaking. The death sovereigns inside started roaring. They were finally free of the heavenly laws. At that exact moment, four human Invincibles charged toward the dragons. A blinding saber manifested in the sky and illuminated the entire level. The two dragons merely shot them a glance before retreating. Zhu Tianfang was right. With the arrival of the death spirits, the dragons lost all interest in fighting the humans. It was completely pointless. In the blink of an eye, six Invincibles vanished. The Pseudo Invincibles in the Devote King's residence also vanished one after another as they started looking for a safe place to hide while the Invincibles were fighting. Up in the sky, the ninth petal of the skylotus unfurled fully. It had bloomed slightly earlier than expected. That was most likely due to the extra nourishment it had received from the dead Pseudo Invincible. At the same time, Frost Divine King started retreating with the other divine kings as well. The divines were led by the Lightning Divine King. While retreating, Lightning Divine King said, "Find a chance to kill our opponents. Keep everyone occupied and avoid provoking the death spirits. Let the death spirits fight our enemies for us." That was most likely what everyone was thinking at this moment. Frost Divine King said, "I'll head to the Devote King's residence first. With so many people in my weapon, I'll try to avoid combat." He did not want to give up on the surviving divines unless absolutely necessary. With that, the divine kings vanished into the void. With a rumble, wave after wave of death qi rushed out of the death tunnel. Everyone inside the Illusory Heaven Mirror trembled with fear as they witnessed what was happening. The heaven weapon they were hiding in felt more like a cage. If something bad were to happen to Frost Divine King, they would most likely die alongside him as well. Alas, this was a place where Invincibles reigned. There was nothing they could do. They could only hope that Frost Divine King would be fine. They could hear the deafening rumble outside. They could even feel the invasion of the death qi. Eleven death sovereigns appeared in the sky, flooding the entire seventh level with their laughter. "We will erase the filth that is the living!" "Well done, He Tu! Hahahaha!" The death sovereigns were incomparably excited to taste freedom yet again. Not only were they out of the Death Realm, but they had even broken free from the heavenly laws. This was the biggest source of their excitement. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to kill wantonly even if they could somehow leave the Death Realm. He Tu had a wide grin on his face as well. Looking at the fleeing Invincibles, he understood that these Invincibles weren't fleeing because they were no match. Rather, they were trying to create chaos. So be it. He would gladly fulfill their wish. Let's hope they would enjoy the coming chaos. He Tu laughed and said, "Friends, let's celebrate our freedom with a good slaughter. That is the only way to show appreciation for the freedom we have gained after such hardship. Let's start with a minor race Eternal..." "No, start with a divine. I hate them." "No, devils. I hate them." "No, no, no! Start with the humans. I remember that they were the ones who had killed me back then. I don't feel anything about my death anymore, but I still want to kill them." He Tu was starting to lose control over the death sovereigns. Since they were out, they would naturally prioritize their desires. He Tu's expression turned unsightly. Just as he was about to try persuading them, Xing Yue's cold voice rang out, "Start with the immortals. Their heavenly source qi is helpful in suppressing our death qi. Kill them before we start pursuing our personal vendettas. The immortals are our true enemies." The moment she said that, a death sovereign who was slightly closer to her agreed, "Sure. Let's do it this way. We need to show Xing Yue some respect, right? Let's kill the immortals first." He Tu cursed inwardly. He was the one who had released them. Why were they listening to Xing Yue? Damn it! Damn Xing Yue! She had stolen his leadership!
