Boom! Bang!

The powers of various divine weapons and treasures continuously bombarded the Curse Ancestor, whose injuries kept worsening until he finally could no longer hold on.

The ceaseless assault of five divine weapons and treasures upon the Curse Ancestor left almost no part of his body intact. In the end, he let out an unwilling roar of rage as his body was pierced and his skull was crushed; his eyes burst out, yet the Curse Power surged from his body, attempting one last explosion.

"Suppress!"

The golden Seal of the Human Emperor suddenly flew out of the Divine Phoenix woman's hand, transforming into a Huge Mountain and viciously smashing down upon the Heavenly Crown of the Curse Ancestor.

The Seal of the Human Emperor, like an ancient Huge Mountain, overflowed with the Human Emperor's awe-inspiring authority, possessing an irresistible and terrifying lethal force.

"You... you..."

Half of the Curse Ancestor's head had been blown away, and with a look of unwillingness, he extended a hand to point at the Divine Phoenix woman, but his corpse slowly collapsed.

The majesty within the Seal of the Human Emperor suppressed the Curse Ancestor's corpse, directly severing any possibility of his revival.

With the Curse Ancestor slain, Elder Zun and the others were all caught in a daze.

They all wanted to kill the Curse Ancestor and obtain the half-piece of Curse Stone from Xiao Mu's hand, but to their surprise, the Divine Phoenix woman had taken advantage of the situation. Utilizing the Seal of the Human Emperor, she had suppressed and killed the Curse Ancestor at the very last moment.

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of unwilling loss in their hearts.

"Alas!"

A sigh from the Divine Monarch Wu De faintly emanated from the Black Jade Plate, seemingly lamenting that even a True God-like Curse Ancestor could be besieged and killed.

Xiao Mu had no time to bother with others, looking up at the Divine Phoenix woman standing above the Colorful Clouds, cupping his fists in respect, "Xiao Mu greets Senior Divine Phoenix."

"So you are Xiao Mu. I have heard of your name many times. Leaders Lv, Wei, and Xu were all summoned by you, right?"

The Divine Phoenix woman's cool voice came from above, her tone placing considerable importance on Xiao Mu, as she lightly tapped her toes on the Colorful Clouds, enabling her to descend gently to the ground.

Following that, the Divine Phoenix woman stepped off the Colorful Clouds and set foot on the ground with both feet.

Standing tall relative to the average person, she was probably at least one meter eighty-five in height, but her stature was slender and her figure well-proportioned, which didn't give the impression of bulkiness.

Xiao Mu dared not show a shred of negligence, quickly saying, "Senior, indeed Leaders Lv, Wei, and Xu were all summoned by me, and Elder Zun also provided some assistance. As for Elder Zun and Senior Huang, they came on their own initiative."

"You don't need to be nervous."

Noticing Xiao Mu's restraint in facing her, the Divine Phoenix woman's cool face showed a hint of a faint smile, "You have worked for the Great Tang Ruins, and used your own resources to stop the Curse Ancestor. I quite admire that. However... "

As she spoke, the Divine Phoenix woman's gaze slid from Xiao Mu to the others like Elder Zun, then briefly flitted over Wei Lingxiao, Xu Jianan, and Lv Liangping, as she indifferently said, "Leader Wei, Leader Xu, and Leader Lv, you have rushed here to besiege the Curse Ancestor; have the internal affairs within our organization been properly arranged?"

When mentioning 'internal affairs within our organization,' there was a hint of interrogation in the Divine Phoenix woman's tone.

Leaders Wei Lingxiao, Xu Jianan, and Lv Liangping also did not dare to be negligent in front of the Divine Phoenix woman.

Wei Lingxiao bowed and said earnestly, "The Ruins of the Yin Dynasty are temporarily overseen by Envoy Zhu Bingshen, and even the Tai Cang City God would not dare to act rashly."

Xu Jianan followed, "The Five Emperors' Mausoleum is currently without incident, and even if there is an accident, the Second Leader with the Xuanyuan Sword can suppress it. Please rest assured, Divine Phoenix woman."

Lv Liangping chuckled, "The main enemy of the Three Emperors' Tomb is the Five Elements Sect. Although the Sect is powerful, as long as the Elder of the Five Elements does not return, they pose no immediate threat to the Three Emperors' Tomb. Divine Phoenix woman, it seems you worry too much."

"That's good to hear!"

The Divine Phoenix woman nodded, her expression slightly relaxed, and calmly stated, "My only concern was that with you leaders away, an unforeseen event might occur in our organization. Since you all assure the safety of the organization, I have no further comment."

"However," leaving the headquarters to support the outside like this should be minimized in the future. If outsiders take advantage of your absence and cause chaos, it would surely bring significant damage to our Human world."

Lv Liangping, Xu Jianan, and Wei Lingxiao all nodded in agreement, with none offering a rebuttal.

In fact, had it not been for Xiao Mu offering the Curse Stone as a token of thanks, they would not have readily left the headquarters to support the Great Tang Ruins.

"Divine Phoenix Senior."

Xiao Mu spoke again, gaze fixed on the Divine Phoenix.

"Oh! Xiao Mu, do you have something else to say to me?" The Divine Phoenix turned to face Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu said, "Before inviting Leader Lv, Leader Wei, and Leader Xu to support us, I mentioned that whoever killed the Curse Ancestor would receive half of a Curse Stone from me."

"Now, since the Curse Ancestor was slain by Divine Phoenix Senior, this half of the Curse Stone should also be given to you, Senior."

"You have half a Curse Stone? The Curse Stone of curse authority?" The Divine Phoenix was taken aback, followed by surprise, her eyes revealing intense disbelief as she stared fixedly at Xiao Mu.

"It is the Curse Stone of curse authority."

As Xiao Mu spoke, he took out half of the Curse Stone from the Earth Seal, holding it in both hands and presenting it to the Divine Phoenix, explaining, "I once saw in the Curse Pit that this half of the Curse Stone was stripped from the Curse Ancestor's body by Lord of Bai's Mansion utilizing the power of Creation, and sealed within the Curse Pit…"

Subsequently, Xiao Mu detailed to the Divine Phoenix how he had arrived at the Curse Pit, how he had acquired the Curse Stone, and how he had discovered the Stone Tablet erected by Ge Xie, the Ge Earth God, learning that the Curse Ancestor had been sealed in the Netherworld Spring Treasury.

The Divine Phoenix listened quietly to Xiao Mu's account and couldn't help but sigh, "The disappearance of the Lord of Bai's Mansion has brought countless calamities to our Human world, as all sorts of Demons and Monsters began to invade. Who could have anticipated that the Treasury originally constructed to seal the Curse Treasure Repository would be altered later to imprison the Curse Ancestor?"

After glancing at the Curse Stone in Xiao Mu's hand, she complimented, "Xiao Mu, you have done well. I will give this half Curse Stone to a True God Realm guardian of the Boundary Wall to use, adding another half True God strength to our Human world."

The Divine Phoenix readily took the half Curse Stone from Xiao Mu's hands and tucked it away.

Then, the Divine Phoenix glanced at the Curse Ancestor's corpse on the ground and regretfully said, "It's a pity that the remaining half of the curse authority on the Curse Ancestor cannot be stripped at this time, otherwise, we could immediately gain another True God for our Human world."

She shook her head softly, feeling a deep sense of regret for not being able to strip the other half of the curse authority from the Curse Ancestor.

Upon hearing this, an idea struck Xiao Mu.

Stripping the curse authority from the body of the Curse Ancestor would require a True God strong enough combined with special methods, whereas a forceful extraction would necessitate the intervention of a Heavenly God.

Xiao Mu possessed the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, imbued with Emperor Authority, but unfortunately, his Realm was too low. If he could elevate his Realm to that of True God, or later stages of the Divine Spirits Realm, he might be able to attempt it.

However, he did not disclose this thought to the Divine Phoenix; at present, he was merely at the Peak of the Yin God Realm, still far from advancing to the later stages of the Divine Spirits Realm.

To claim now that he might have the ability to strip the curse authority from the Curse Ancestor's body in the future would seem reckless and lack proper discretion.

"Xiao Mu, did you use the Destiny Talisman?"

The Divine Phoenix turned her gaze back to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded and said, "Yes, Senior, the Curse Ancestor had cultivated the technique of Riding Clouds and Mist, and without pulling him down from the clouds, it would have been difficult for Senior Zun and the others to launch an encirclement on the Curse Ancestor."

"I don't blame you,"

The Divine Phoenix nodded slightly and said, "The Destiny Talisman was given to you to use for preserving your life, yet you used it on the Curse Ancestor."

"Do you understand that the Destiny Talisman was crafted by the Human Emperor after stealing the Power of Destiny from Emperor Taija? Once used, a remnant of the Power of Destiny linger in the user's body, making it possible for Emperor Taija to notice and even lock onto your location?"

As she spoke, the Divine Phoenix's expression became increasingly serious.

This also showed how much the Divine Phoenix valued Xiao Mu, hoping that Emperor Taija would not take notice of him. If that happened, it would bring unimaginable danger to Xiao Mu, who would have to face the possibility of attack from powerful beings from beyond the Earth at any moment.
