. " Shen Mu hastily took Dragon Qilin and the box and sped off toward Fengdu. Before long, he finally arrived at the boundary stele of the Realm of the Living Dead and could not help sighing in relief. At that very moment, a heavy thud sounded behind him. Xing'an had finally shaken off the monsters, burst out of the sea of mist, and landed on the dock.
Shen Mu's face shifted. He flew at top speed into the Realm of the Living Dead, charging madly forward. Dragon Qilin likewise sprinted for all he was worth. As he ran, he suddenly saw that his meal ticket beside him was gone, leaving only a skeleton running with great effort! That skeleton was still wearing Shen Mu's clothes and shoes!
A chill shot through Dragon Qilin, and he let out a piercing scream.
Yet at that moment, he saw that he too had become a skeleton.
Dragon Qilin's limbs gave way and he collapsed, truly unconscious this time. Shen Mu quickly halted, about to lift him up and run, when suddenly he saw Xing'an charging into the bounds of the Realm of the Living Dead as well.
Bang—another head squeezed out from Xing'an's neck, an arm burst out from his armpit, and then four or five legs grew out of him.
Shen Mu stood dumbfounded; Xing'an was dumbfounded as well. Then bang after bang sounded, and body after body sprouted from his body.
Heads crowded around his head—countless bodies pushing outward from within, giving him dozens of arms, dozens of legs, twenty or thirty heads, and whole torsos fused together.
Splash. Xing'an fell to the ground.
Many palms clawed wildly in every direction; heads struggled and howled as if trying to crawl out of that hodgepodge of a body.
Their consciousnesses were obviously not unified; he was not one person but an amalgamation of twenty or thirty people, every one of them trying to crawl out and leave! "The Realm of the Living Dead.
.
. the Realm of the Living Dead.
. . " Shen Mu abandoned the idea of fleeing and murmured, "So this is the way to restrain Xing'an. His body is pieced together from the bodies of twenty or thirty near-divine powerhouses, and once in the Realm of the Living Dead, the missing parts will reappear. . .
" Suddenly, a great bird flew out of the darkness and alighted on a hill ahead, tilting its head to examine them curiously.
"Is the one who comes Shen Mu, the Human Emperor? " The great bird flapped its wings and transformed into a divine being with a bird's head and a human body. Folding its wings, it spoke in human tongue: "Your misdeeds have come to light.
King Yan has been looking for you for a long time! " Shen Mu exclaimed in surprise, "I've committed misdeeds?
How is it I know nothing about this?
"
