Chapter 527: Battlefield Divine Powers

How could the Saint of the Woodcutters be here? The altar he used seemed to have been prepared long ago. Could he have been summoned by the people of this world?

Qin Mu's mind reeled. The altar was buried in the center of the battlefield, and the moment the two armies clashed, countless bodies would trigger it, summoning the Saint of the Woodcutters. This was clearly pre-planned!

He recalled that the Reclusive Mountain Dweller had said the Saint of the Woodcutters had revived over a month ago and departed with his great axe. The Saint of the Woodcutters must have received some news to awaken from his slumber and prepare to descend upon this world through a ritual sacrifice.

Qin Mu fended off his opponent's attacks. The Gate of Heaven's Legacy behind him suddenly expanded. He spun around, and the Gate of Heaven's Legacy swept in a full circle, instantly sending the charging Heavenly Devil creatures straight to Youdu without a single groan!

Whoosh— The Tiger God, carrying the Saint of the Woodcutters, leaped down from the altar and charged straight towards the enemy camp. The Tiger God looked back, surprised, at Qin Mu, and a thunderous voice boomed, "Master, that person looks like your descendant!"

On the tiger's back, the Saint of the Woodcutters turned and looked at Qin Mu, who was battling the surging Heavenly Devil creatures in front of the Gate of Heaven's Legacy. His gaze was piercingly bright, illuminating the area around the altar.

"Strange, how did he get to Supreme Emperor Heaven..." The Saint of the Woodcutters withdrew his gaze. Wherever the Tiger God passed, men and horses were overturned. The Tiger God roared, and rings of sound waves erupted, sending countless devil creatures flying into the air.

In the rush of battle, Qin Mu saw this scene, and the image of the Dragon Qilin's rotund figure suddenly appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but feel immense envy for the Saint of the Woodcutters. "This Tiger God calls him master; it must be his mount! How incredibly mighty!"

On the tiger's back, the Saint of the Woodcutters swung his great axe, cleaving through the attacking devil god divine arts. With a few bounds, the Tiger God carried him directly to the center of the enemy camp.

From the moment the Tiger God leaped from the altar until he reached the enemy camp, it was merely a matter of breaths.

The Saint of the Woodcutters swung his great axe, and with a single stroke, four massive heads flew from the neck of a four-headed devil god in the enemy camp before it even had a chance to rise.

"Hathira!" One after another, devil gods charged from all directions, circling the Tiger God in battle. The Saint of the Woodcutters, seated on the Tiger God's back, swung his great axe, and axe light surged like a tide.

"Grand Creation Devil Scripture! No, what he's performing should be the complete Overlord Body Three Elixirs Art!" Qin Mu was forced to retreat continuously by the attacking Heavenly Devil creatures, falling back onto the altar. Seeing this scene in haste, his heart stirred. "His comprehension of the Overlord Body Three Elixirs Art is far beyond mine!"

The Saint of the Woodcutters wasn't merely swinging his axe. With his other hand, he unleashed various divine arts from the Grand Creation Devil Scripture. However, these divine arts weren't individual techniques from the scripture but combinations of different divine arts, similar to Li Tianxing's Great Luo Heavenly Star Palm Force, which integrated hundreds of divine arts into a single technique.

Anyone else wouldn't have recognized his divine arts as being from the Grand Creation Devil Scripture, but Qin Mu, as the Heavenly Devil Cult Master, recognized them instantly.

Around the Saint of the Woodcutters, various strange force fields erupted, sending devil gods flying. The moment a devil god was sent flying, the great axe would suddenly appear, beheading it in mid-air. His combat strength was terrifyingly powerful.

Qin Mu longed to observe his divine arts in detail. However, more and more Heavenly Devil creatures were surging in. The Saint of the Woodcutters, having been summoned, only focused on beheading enemy leaders and slaying devil gods in the enemy camp, ignoring the rest of the Heavenly Devil army. Countless devil creatures were still surging like a tide onto the battlefield, charging at the enemy.

At this moment, even more Heavenly Devil creatures surged forward, while the divine arts practitioners from this world behind the altar also pushed forward. Shouts and battle cries shook the heavens.

In such large-scale battles involving divine arts practitioners, individual power was almost negligible. If one lost focus, they could be killed by an opponent's attack at any moment.

Qin Mu had no time to think deeply. He could only cast aside all thoughts and fight with all his might.

The Heavenly Devil creatures were astonishingly powerful. Their cultivation techniques and divine arts were vastly different from those of Yankang; while perhaps lacking in the subtlety of moves, they excelled in magical power. Moreover, the Heavenly Devil creatures possessed extraordinary combat prowess.

The physical bodies of the Heavenly Devil creatures differed from those of humans. Among them were the Eight Heavenly Devil Tribes: fish-scaled, frog-webbed, lava giants, handsome youths, ugly women, scorpion-tailed women, eight-limbed women, eight-tentacled monstrous people, and snake-handed monstrous people.

These devil creatures had superior bloodlines; they were natural-born fighting machines with extreme combat power. The ones surrounding Qin Mu were elites among them, none significantly weaker than him.

More and more Heavenly Devil creatures, over a dozen of them, surged onto the altar. These Heavenly Devil creatures recognized the extreme strangeness of the Gate of Heaven's Legacy behind him, so they avoided it and attacked him together.

Qin Mu resisted with all his might. His eight thousand swords weaved back and forth, and countless sword lights surged. Suddenly, all the flying swords scattered like locusts, and in an instant, mountains and rivers emerged, forming the Sword-Tread Mountains and Rivers technique.

On the altar, mountains stretched endlessly, waterfalls cascaded upwards, and long rivers flowed. The terrifying battle that had just occurred seemed to vanish into thin air for a moment.

However, the next moment, blood flowed from this landscape painting, instantly dyeing the mountains and rivers red. Then, the mountains and rivers shattered, and a lava giant, wielding a massive hammer, leaped from the broken landscape and slammed it down at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu retreated, raising his hands high. The Carefree Sword flew to him, and the other eight thousand swords clinked against it, merging into the Carefree Sword in a blink of an eye.

The lava giant slammed its hammer down. Terrifying airwaves surged in all directions, sweeping countless corpses around the altar into the air. Qin Mu held his sword with both hands and slashed down. The lava giant swung its hammer, spinning as swiftly as the wind. With a clang, Qin Mu's body shook violently and he was sent flying into the air. However, the spinning lava giant, along with its hammer, was suddenly sliced in half!

Before Qin Mu could land, an eight-limbed woman, with eight limbs extended from her back, suddenly appeared. The corpses in the air instantly burst with muffled pops, and blood converged into a torrent in the sky, engulfing Qin Mu.

Qin Mu swung his sword. The Carefree Sword decomposed, and the eight thousand swords clinked and clanged as they collided, transforming into two long blades. The blades crossed, and blade light erupted like a bright moon in the sky.

The moonlight and blade light merged into one, then suddenly erupted, streaks of light shooting out like meteors. Swish— The river of blood parted. The eight-limbed woman saw the starlight within the moonlight and moved all eight of her limbs, frantically tapping at the lights. A series of sharp clangs rang out as the moonlight and starlight passed through her body, tearing the eight-limbed woman into pieces.

Butcher's Hog-Slaughtering Blade Art, Sixth Form: Long Blade Suspends Moon Soul, Swift Steed Startles Star Essence.

Qin Mu released his grip, and the two long blades flew up, splitting into countless flying swords. They rotated around his body, blocking thousands of attacking devil blades.

He unleashed a backhand seal, and the devil race blade expert who was charging at him grunted and exploded.

Boom, boom, boom, thunder rumbled, exploding for over ten miles. Wherever Qin Mu's Yin-Yang Heaven Overturning Hand passed, men and horses were overturned.

He unleashed a forehand seal, freezing an area for over ten miles. Then, he touched his index finger to his glabella, and flying swords, one after another, spun forward along the path created by the Yin-Yang Heaven Overturning Hand, leaving a trail of blood!

Circulating Sword Form!

Suddenly, two large pythons coiled around his body, spinning frantically. A snake woman flew through the air, her arms transforming into snakes, coiling tightly around him.

Qin Mu looked up, and two beams of light shot from his eyes. The snake woman's chest was pierced, and she was pinned and sent flying into the air; however, her snake arms still carried him into the sky.

Below, an ugly woman slapped the gourd on her back. The gourd's mouth opened, and with a whoosh, blood-colored devil qi spewed forth, heading straight for Qin Mu in the air.

"True Dragon Overlord Body!" Qin Mu roared, breaking free from the snake arms, and unleashed a seal. Behind him, a volcanic anomaly suddenly appeared: a towering volcano that abruptly erupted!

Primordial Magnetic Blazing Flame Palm! He slammed his palm down, and the blood-colored devil qi burst into flames, burning the ugly woman along with it to ashes.

"What a divine art! Among the Seven Stars Realm divine arts practitioners I've seen, you rank in the top ten!" A harsh voice sounded. Qin Mu's heart jolted, and he looked down, seeing a Heavenly Devil commander who had charged onto the altar, looking up at him.

That Heavenly Devil commander had large banners planted on his back. He suddenly shook his body, revealing four heads and eight arms. Wielding long blades, with four blades crossing, his footwork was unpredictable, and he slaughtered the entire army of divine arts practitioners who had charged onto the altar.

"Spirit Soul Out of Body!" The Heavenly Devil commander slammed the back of his blade against his forehead. A spirit soul, over ten zhang tall, leaped out from his body, roaring at the sky. It raised a hand, unleashing a seal towards Qin Mu. The giant hand seal was half a mu in size, with intricate textures displaying various devilish runes, flickering between light and dark.

As the devil runes flew, even before reaching Qin Mu, chain-like devil runes appeared around him, coiling around him. The power of that palm strike was so immense that he absolutely could not withstand it!

The Carefree Sword and his other flying swords were flying back, but it was already too late to help.

Just then, Qin Mu saw the Saint of the Woodcutters in the distant enemy camp. With a clench of his five fingers, various divine arts recorded in the Grand Creation Devil Scripture merged, unleashing immense power and shattering a devil god. A flash of insight struck Qin Mu, and he also clenched his five fingers in the same way.

His Overlord Body Three Elixirs Art immediately began to circulate in a wondrous pattern. His spirit embryo and soul merged, his Five Luminaries shone brightly, unifying, with the Seven Stars overhead and the sun and moon revolving.

Boom, boom, boom, a surging, boundless power erupted from within Qin Mu's body, breaking the surrounding devil rune chains. He raised his hand to meet the fierce palm strike from the Heavenly Devil commander's spirit soul.

Qin Mu grunted, his body bounced high into the air, soaring towards the sky. However, the sky was filled with the divine arts of countless gods and devils, and the rampant power of divine weapons and devil divine weapons. If he flew up there, he would surely meet a gruesome end!

Countless runes emerged around his body, swirling around him with a rustling sound. Just as Qin Mu was about to rush into the forbidden zone of the sky, his figure vanished.

Bang— He fell more than ten miles away. The terrifying power from the Heavenly Devil commander's spirit soul's palm strike still sent him tumbling and rolling, knocking down swaths of charging divine arts practitioners.

Qin Mu rolled dozens of times before finally stabilizing himself.

Countless divine arts practitioners charged past him, activating various spirit weapons as they ran. In mid-air, spirit weapons rained down, embedding themselves into the ground ahead, filling the earth. Countless devil creatures perished beneath these blade and sword spirit weapons.

"I'm still alive?" Qin Mu quickly touched himself all over. He found that despite his numerous injuries, the Heavenly Devil commander's seemingly fatal blow had not harmed him. He was both surprised and delighted.

"The Saint of the Woodcutters' move was incredibly powerful! Did he know I was in trouble and deliberately displayed that move for me to learn, to deal with this certain-death situation?"

He reached out and made a grasping motion. The Carefree Sword, along with his other flying swords, whistled over, transforming into a sword pellet in his palm.

Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind him: "I think I've seen you before!"

Qin Mu turned to look, seeing a towering deity appear behind him. Perched on the deity's shoulder, a girl with two long braids tilted her head, examining him.
