Above the high sky, the monochrome Life and Death Diagram became increasingly vivid, with the progress of the Undying Divine Sovereign's rebirth advancing swiftly.

Xiao Mu transformed into Escape Light, pushing the speed of the Five-in-One Escape to its limit, his body like a streak of five-colored glow skimming close to the ground towards the temple.

The distance of hundreds of miles did not take too much time for Xiao Mu to cover.

As the Immortal Rebirth progressed, at this time, his temple had automatically risen from underground, hanging in the air above the slope of a hill.

The temple appeared to be supremely dignified, not very big with just one room, but perfectly split in the middle into black and white halves—one half for life, being white, the other half for death, being black.

Inside the temple, through the doorway, Xiao Mu caught sight of Li Jing at a glance.

Li Jing was lying supine on a Life and Death Diagram about two meters in radius, and above her body in the air hung an even larger Life and Death Diagram.

The two Life and Death Diagrams reflected each other, their energies interconnected, forming a monochrome shield that enveloped Li Jing within.

Below the monochrome shield, on both edges inside the temple, one could see a black Death Platform on the left and a white Life Platform on the right.

The Life Platform and the Death Platform were respectively releasing Life Force and Death Force to provide energy for the two Life and Death Diagrams in the air.

Xiao Mu's gaze fell upon Li Jing once again; a cluster of Blood Mist was evaporating from her body, gradually beginning to condense into a human form. On the altar table within the temple, atop a statue of a youthful faceless Divine Spirit, the Light of Life and Death was being emitted, as if it was about to rise at any moment and merge with the Blood Mist that was about to take human shape.

"The shadow within Li Jing's body is indeed the blood of the Undying; the Undying is about to be reborn."

The scene inside the temple made Xiao Mu's heart tighten; if they truly allowed the Undying to be reborn, with the might that could stand equal to the Lord of Bai's Mansion, no one in the human world might be capable of dealing with him.

Swoosh! Whoosh! Crack! Sobs!

The sounds of Escape Light, wind, Thunderbolt, and crying all rose in unison, and from that small temple suddenly dashed out more than a dozen people, blocking the temple entrance.

"Xiao Mu! Is that you?"

"Xiao Mu, you actually dared to intrude into the place of the Ancestor's rebirth by yourself, what audacity!"

The gazes of more than a dozen people fixated on Xiao Mu together, among them, the glares of four individuals solidified into substance, imposing immense pressure.

Such an oppressive feeling was overwhelming, especially when the gazes of the four were combined, almost comparable to the pressure brought about by True Gods.

Xiao Mu's eyes swept through the crowd, and in an instant, he recognized the appearance of these dozen people, causing his heart to sink.

Among the dozen people, he knew three of them: the Eternal Ancestor, holding the Life Snatching Book and Pen of Death in his hands; the impeccably dressed, carefree-looking Tai Cang City God; and a slight figure cloaked in Thunder, with monkey-faced eagle claws and a backbearing pair of wings, whom Xiao Mu suspected to be Qing Jie, the Thunder God.

Besides these three, there was another just as powerful—an endearingly gaunt woman with a melon-seed face and fair skin, yet bizarrely outfitted with a foot-long gray beard beneath her chin.

This gray-bearded woman's body flickered with the Two Forces of Life and Death, with the white Life Force predominating. Xiao Mu suspected she was the Life Judge.

Besides these four, the rest were much weaker, each a Mutated Being from the Life and Death Sect, yet the strongest of them was merely a Divine Spirit of the Yin God realm, posing no greater threat to Xiao Mu than any one of the other four Divine Spirits.

The situation seemed unfavorable!

Glancing at Tai Cang, the Eternal Ancestor, and the others, Xiao Mu's mind raced.

Given the scene inside the temple, there was no doubt that to stop the Undying's rebirth, the key lay in breaking into the shield formed by the two Life and Death Diagrams and destroying the Undying's blood.

The two black and white platforms underground provided power to the Life and Death Diagrams, and to breach the shield created by them, it was indisputable that one needed to destroy the black and white Death and Life Platforms.

But at the moment, Xiao Mu faced formidable enemies not only including the Eternal Ancestor and Tai Cang City God but also Qing Jie, the Thunder God, the unknown Life Judge with gray beard, and the dozen or so ordinary Divine Spirits from the Life and Death Sect.

Perhaps, I could use the Creation Axe to distort space and bypass the obstacles to enter the temple.

But even if I could get inside the temple, would Tai Cang and the Eternal Ancestor really give me the time to destroy the Life and Death Platforms, enter the energy shield of the Life and Death Diagram, and destroy the Undying's blood?

The scene before his eyes plunged Xiao Mu into deep thought; destroying the Undying's blood was much more difficult than he had imagined.

The Heavenly Court's defense was also far more strict than he initially considered.

And looking at the Heavenly Court's side, they were not in the least bit hurried; neither the Eternal Ancestor nor Tai Cang City God, including Qing Jie, the Thunder God, and the Life Judge with the gray beard, none of them made a move to chase after Xiao Mu.

These four powerhouses, along with the other ordinary Mutated Beings, did nothing but firmly guard the temple without showing any intention to leave their posts.

Clearly, these people from the Heavenly Court knew that time was on their side at this moment, and delaying until the Undying's successful rebirth meant complete victory for them.

Xiao Mu involuntarily furrowed his brow.

He saw through the intentions of the Heavenly Court's side—the process of the Undying's rebirth was accelerating, and the time left for him was really not much.

The guardianship of the temple by the Heavenly Court was actually not such a problem for him, who possessed the Creation Axe. He could totally utilize the Creation Axe to twist space, entering the temple by swapping places with the people from the Heavenly Court.
