He spoke slowly, "You have extraordinary talent, a ruthless heart, and the heart of a true strong man. If you were in the glorious ancient times, you would have the qualifications to be an Immortal Emperor."
"The two guardian beasts, the Phoenix and the Azure Dragon, both faced a tribulation. The Phoenix has overcome its tribulation, but the Azure Dragon has failed."
"The Azure Dragon's bloodline isn't as high as the Phoenix's, but do you know why he became one of the two guardian beasts?"
Lord Purgatory became interested in Zhou Mu's words.
"Oh? Why?"
Zhou Mu stood with his hands behind his back: "Because it is an evil dragon!"
The True Lord of Purgatory smiled and said, "The evil dragon is full of evil energy and feeds on dragons. I really can't see how it resembles an evil dragon."
Zhou Mu shook his head: "Evil dragons are rare. Only one will appear among the thousands of dragons. They have the innate ability to restrain dragons and are far more powerful than ordinary dragons."
"The reason you can't see it is because it has sealed all traces of itself as an evil dragon within its reverse scales. All you need to do is remove its reverse scales, and the body of the Azure Dragon will transform into that of an evil dragon!"
"Similarly, its dragon soul will become even more sinister, more compatible with your ten-million-level soul refining banner, becoming the strongest main soul and allowing you to reach a higher level of cultivation."
Lord Purgatory looked at Zhou Chenmu calmly, his terrifying eyes revealing something he was thinking about.
After a moment, he changed the subject.
"The reason I came to you is simply to find out. I've been feeling increasingly uneasy lately, and I'm afraid a great calamity is about to strike. I want you to help me figure out what that calamity is."
"As long as you can help me figure it out, I will let these ants and your mother go."
Zhou Mu said, "This calamity is not aimed at you, but at all the human cultivators in the Shennong Spiritual Realm. Once the calamity strikes, all human cultivators will be destroyed!"
Upon hearing Zhou Mu's words, Lord Purgatory's breathing stopped.
He asked, "Is there any way to break this impasse? How can I get through this?"
Zhou Mu's eyes were calm, as if he was at ease: "Let him go first."
The expression of the Lord of Purgatory became serious, and he was filled with terrifying murderous intent.
He swept the soul-refining banner above his head, and the souls of half of the villagers in Qingfu Village were swept out and became part of the soul-refining banner.
"You are not qualified to negotiate with me." The tone of the Lord of Purgatory was so cold and terrifying that it made people tremble from the soul.
Zhou Mu remained calm.
"It doesn't matter. You can even have someone take over my body and tell you the answer. But whether he can figure it out or not is up to you."
"I came here with the determination to die. It doesn't matter if you kill everyone, because soon you will end up like us."
"If you want to live, release them and free all the villagers just now."
The Lord of Purgatory looked down into Zhou Mu's eyes.
Mu Chen was calm and fearless, looking up at him.
Not long.
Lord Purgatory waved his hand and pushed all the villagers of Qingfu Village, as well as Luo Ya, to the other side of the world.
On the other side of the world, Chi Youling transformed into a thousand-foot-tall phoenix and rescued him.
Afterwards, the Lord of Purgatory released the souls of the villagers of Qingfu Village who were caught in the Soul Refining Banner, and they dissipated between heaven and earth.
"Alright, now you can tell me. If you dare to play tricks on me, I will torture your soul until I die. I will also mobilize all my strength to capture your mother again and send her to be reunited with you in the Soul Refining Banner."
Zhou Mu's eyes were filled with death.
He knew very well that even if he told the truth, Lord Purgatory would never let him go given his nature.
But he still said: "This is a catastrophe that will exterminate all human cultivators in the Shennong Spiritual Realm. If you want to gain a glimmer of hope in this catastrophe, you have two choices."
Lord Purgatory quickly asked, "Which two?"
"First, if you take over the body of a cultivator from the main world, there is a 50% chance of surviving."
Lord Purgatory frowned: "What about the second one?"
"Second, remove the reverse scales from the Reverse Dragon's body, transforming its dragon soul into the Evil Dragon's."
Purgatory True Lord was puzzled: "How can I survive by doing this?"
Zhou Mu explained: "The evil dragon itself is a creature that goes against the will of heaven, and the disaster is also the will of heaven."
"As long as you possess the soul of an evil dragon, a soul refining banner with it as the sole main soul, and refine it with your own soul blood, you yourself will also possess a certain degree of the fate of an evil dragon. You can use your own strength to gain a glimmer of hope in the midst of the calamity of heaven and earth!"
Lord Purgatory fell into deep thought.
As a strong man, and a peak strong man in his prime, he definitely does not want to take over the bodies of humans in the main world.
Because once you take over someone else's body, the chances of becoming an immortal in the future will become slim, after all, it is not your own body.
Moreover, as a strong man, he also has his own pride. Even if he would rather die fighting with the world, he would never want to take over another's body and live in compromise.
In the end, he chose the latter.
Before that, he looked at Zhou Mu with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
"Your existence is full of uncertainties, so stay inside the Soul Refining Banner first!"
As he spoke, the Soul Refining Banner emitted a faint light, which swept Zhou Mu's soul into the Soul Refining Banner.
"No!"
In another world, Luo Ya saw this scene and let out a wail of despair.
"My Mu'er..."
Luo Ya seemed to have lost her soul, slumped on Chi Youling's back, her eyes dead silent.
Zhou Mu is his own flesh and blood, the most important person in his life, no doubt about it.
But in order to save himself, he was trapped in the Soul Refining Banner, and his chances of survival were slim.
At this time, Chi Youling spoke:
"He asked me to pass on a message to you."
"He said: You gave birth to me, gave me life, and we are destined to be together. But fate is not the fate of mother and child. If we go back to earlier times, I will not die because I have never lived."
