Chapter 306 – Scarlet Domain: Mu Lin's Skull Crushed

“To actually challenge the Beiwei Army in terms of Divine Soul willpower—seeking death!”

Mu Lin’s Beiwei Army was akin to heroic spirits. They were not merely projections of historical heroes but had also been worshipped by humanity for millennia. To some extent, the Beiwei Army in the present world possessed a trace of Divinity. With such high resistance to willpower attacks, the Scarlet Son’s banshee skull daring to assault them in this manner naturally suffered severe backlash.

“Wail!”

Amidst a piercing shriek, the skull, struck by the backlash of killing intent, shattered completely.

“No, you bastard, I’ll kill you…”

“Kill!”

While the Scarlet Son opposite raged in fury, on this side, after repelling the banshee skull’s assault, Mu Lin’s Beiwei Army did not halt. Instead, they spurred their horses and charged straight toward the Scarlet Son.

“Boom!”

Hooves thundered like drums, shaking the earth. The ferociously charging Beiwei Army surged forth like a mountain flood, unstoppable.

“Crash!”

“Roar!”

The first to clash with the Beiwei Army were the demonic monsters created by the Scarlet Son. Logically, their strength and numbers were roughly comparable, so the battle should have been evenly matched.

Yet the outcome was entirely different.

Connected by shared energy, disciplined in command, and skilled in coordination, Mu Lin’s Beiwei Army were seasoned veterans who had fought countless battles on the battlefield.

In contrast, their opponents knew nothing of teamwork, merely swarming forward in a chaotic mass.

Such a confrontation was akin to a regular army crushing a band of rabble.

It was less a battle and more a slaughter.

“Boom!”

“Rip…”

“No!”

“Roar…”

With just a single charge, the Scarlet Son’s demonic horde was pierced through by the Beiwei Army. Under the coordinated defense of large shields and the thrusts of spears, nearly a thousand enemies fell swiftly, while Mu Lin’s side suffered only fifty cavalry losses.

Moreover, these fifty riders did not perish entirely—they merged into the Jade Gate Pass of Cangshan, continuing to aid their comrades with their power.

[Fight to Death Without Rest]

“The will to break formations knows only death, not retreat!”

“Purge the demons…”

Amidst unified roars, the Beiwei Army carved through the demonic monsters, and soon, most of the creatures were slain.

Witnessing this, Mu Lin shook his head:

“This isn’t even on the same level…”

“Bastard.”

If Mu Lin could perceive the disparity, so could the Scarlet Son opposite him.

Thus, unsurprisingly, the Scarlet Son – Nest took to the field personally.

Then, a classic battle of an army surrounding a giant beast unfolded before Mu Lin’s eyes.

As a renowned legion in history, the Beiwei Army naturally had experience in besieging colossal creatures.

Now, shield-bearing soldiers advanced, using the support of Arrays to stubbornly withstand the assaults of the Scarlet Son – Nest. Behind them, others hurled spears or thrust with their weapons, while some warriors wielding great swords boldly leaped onto the insectoid body of the Scarlet Son, hacking away furiously.

Even more soldiers produced Soul-Binding Chains, entangling the Scarlet Son’s form and constantly pulling to slow its movements.

“Roar!”

“Moo!”

“Left! Pull with all your strength to the left…”

“Right side…”

“Legs, attack its legs…”

Relying on seamless coordination and the Celestial Fortress Array to distribute damage, the Scarlet Son – Nest, at the Mortal Shedding Realm, found itself unable to quickly overpower Mu Lin’s Beiwei Army. Instead, it sustained continuous injuries.

Of course, Mu Lin’s Beiwei Army also kept losing soldiers… Sharing damage ultimately had its limits.

The continuous deaths of the Beiwei Army made Mu Lin frown, but at this moment, Scarlet Son was even more furious.

“Bastards, how dare you make me suffer such humiliation! You all deserve to die, moo…”

Ever since fusing with the Divine Blood heart and becoming a half-Evil God Scion, Scarlet Son – Nest’s personality had undergone a transformation. He became extremely arrogant, unwilling to be controlled by anyone.

This change in mindset was also the reason he had previously berated the Evil God Scion – Shadow.

With such arrogance, he couldn’t even tolerate Shadow, who was also an Evil God Scion, let alone endure being hindered by a ‘weak’ Gang Condensation Realm cultivator.

Thus, enraged to the extreme, he erupted.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

He directly triggered the sound of his own heartbeat, synchronizing it with the frequency of the Evil God’s heartbeat from before.

At the same time, one of his heads chanted a prayer, attempting to draw the surrounding Evil God’s power into his body.

“Great Scarlet Overlord, you are the source of life, the mother of all things. Your humble scion beseeches you…”

This operation… succeeded.

Although Mu Lin had sealed the sound of the Evil God’s heartbeat as soon as he gained control of Heartcage City’s formation core, things in this world are always easier to destroy than to repair.

The place was already dilapidated from years of neglect, and to break in, Mingling Zi, Little Overlord, and Black Fiend Tiger had wreaked havoc. Mu Lin hadn’t yet repaired these arrays.

Therefore, Mu Lin could only suppress it, not completely isolate it.

Now, with Scarlet Son’s chanting, that power directly transmitted into Nest’s body, causing his aura to instantly surge.

The wildly increasing aura even caused Heartcage City’s seals to materialize—the Death Tombstone trembled.

“Troublesome. To have damaged the sealing seals so thoroughly, those Demonic Sect brats really deserve to die.”

“Also, relying solely on the Beiwei Army to deal with him is indeed a bit difficult.”

Mu Lin sighed, while Scarlet Son – Nest was ecstatic.

“Hahaha, my power has returned! Do you see, human? This is my power, the power of the great Scarlet Overlord! Die in fear!”

“Scarlet Domain, open!”

“Hum…”

As he spoke, his body shuddered, and at the same time, a red light suddenly spread outward from him as the center.

What made Mu Lin’s pupils contract was that when touched by that red light, Mu Lin’s Yin Soldiers—the Beiwei Army—actually grew flesh and blood.

However, this was not a good thing. The newly grown flesh was not normal tissue but rotten, foul-smelling, aberrant putrid meat.

Moreover, this decaying flesh grew by absorbing the power of the Beiwei Army and was controlled by Scarlet Son.

Clearly, if the Beiwei Army’s bodies completely transformed into flesh and blood, they too would become soldiers of the enemy.

Yet, although aware of all this, Mu Lin frowned, realizing that stopping it… would be very difficult.

This was a curse Domain unleashed by the Scarlet Son with the power of the Scarlet Overlord, infused with Divinity. This made it impossible for Mu Lin’s Yin Soldiers to suppress the growth of rotting flesh on their bodies through their own strength alone.

Soon, Mu Lin realized he had no time to worry about the Beiwei Army.

The spreading Scarlet Domain not only eroded and corrupted the Beiwei Army but also tainted the surrounding land, city walls, and even Mu Lin’s own body.

—And the moment he became aware of this, Mu Lin felt the power within him surge uncontrollably toward one side, like floodwaters bursting through a dam.

After undergoing a grotesque transformation, that power morphed into a hideous and terrifying Beast Claw.

On the Beast Claw, a large, grotesque eye rolled wildly.

As Mu Lin looked over, the eye on the Beast Claw cast a mocking glance at him.

Then, with unstoppable force, the Beast Claw viciously lunged toward Mu Lin’s head.

“Hahaha, die!”

“Bang!”

Amid the maniacal laughter of the Scarlet Son – Nest, the aberrant Beast Claw clenched with immense force, and Mu Lin’s head… was crushed.

“No!”

The sight of his head being crushed made Dongfang Ya, Master Meng Rui, and Si Ye’s hearts tighten in shock, nearly leaving them breathless.

Prince Liang also slumped back into his chair, utterly defeated.

However, soon, the group seemed to recall something, their expressions turning peculiar.

Meanwhile, within Heartcage City, the Scarlet Son – Nest remained unaware of anything amiss.

He was lost in the intoxication of his overwhelming power.

“Hahaha, see? This is my power, invincible power. Right now, I am unstoppable… Bang!”
