I am grinding experience in another world

The Blood Sea on the grasslands continues to rise.

Even within the bowl-shaped pit left at the original site of White Bird City, blood water surged out, soon transforming into a blood lake.

At a certain moment, within the blood lake, the blood water bubbled, and countless giants over three meters tall, clad in armor, rose from beneath the water.

Their skin was fair, their appearance neither human nor non-human, and most peculiarly, they had a single horizontal eye above the bridge of their noses, giving them an eerie look.

In mid-air, a massive one-eyed giant five meters tall appeared out of thin air.

Standing on his shoulder was a small, bald child in a full red robe, barefooted.

"Is that big tree the Yama Giant Spirit?" The one-eyed giant spoke in a muffled voice, looking at the towering giant tree in the distance.

"General Pan Luo, please wait here, I'll take people to chop it down right away." He turned his head to the child on his shoulder, speaking respectfully.

"No rush, let's wait a bit." The barefooted child smiled and waved his hand.

"But delaying too long would go against Mo Nuo General's command..." The one-eyed giant hesitated to continue.

"Who said I'm going against the command, I'm just waiting for the nearby Yama to converge."

"Once they all gather near that big tree, we can catch them all in one go, can't we?" The barefooted child Pan Luo giggled.

"But if too many gather, and something goes wrong..." The one-eyed giant frowned.

"Well, you can't blame me for that, after all, the general only assigned us so few people." Pan Luo laughed heartily.

"But if we don't quickly remove the Yama Giant Spirit, weakening the power of Yama Cave Heaven, Mo Nuo General might fall into danger." The one-eyed giant was worried.

Danger?

I just want to let him fall into a trap!

This position of Mo Nuo General, it's time for a change!

"Relax." Pan Luo looked at the one-eyed giant.

"I'm certainly not the only one doing this."

"He's held the position of Mo Nuo General for too long." He curled his lips into a devilish smile.

...

At a certain place in Mist Ridge.

With a flash of golden light, Chen Mu appeared.

Looking up, he was less than a hundred miles from the Moonlight Tree that reached the sky.

Not far in front of him, an invisible barrier appeared in his perception.

"Divine Soldier Barrier?"

Chen Mu nodded knowingly.

"I've come to the right place."

"With this barrier, it won't be a problem to hold off Nether Demon Heaven Monsters for a short time."

He initially thought White Bird City was only dozens of miles away from Moonlight Tree King, but after flying the entire way, he found it was more than hundreds of miles apart.

Logically, with such a distance, he shouldn't have been able to see the giant tree. Thinking back now, it must have been due to some kind of divine skill.

Chen Mu no longer hesitated, crossed the barrier, and headed straight for the distant big tree.

The Mist Mirage, originally just a wonder, had turned into reality, even capable of activating the Divine Soldier Barrier to resist the invasion from Nether Demon Heaven; his curiosity was piqued.

Moments later.

Beneath the massive Moonlight Tree, Chen Mu looked up.

The tree was a hundred meters tall, with a dark, coarse trunk and an enormous fiery red crown, resembling a colossal flame.

Above the treetop in the sky was an identical giant version of the Moonlight Tree's phantom.

It reached the sky, its form so lifelike it could have been real; this was what Chen Mu had seen from hundreds of miles away earlier.

"Why does it feel so similar to my Yin Divine Dharma Form?"

"Could this Moonlight Tree be a great demon comparable to the Yin God?" Observing for a moment, Chen Mu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

At this moment, many people had already gathered beneath the great tree.

Judging by their attire, they looked very much like the refugees who had reached White Bird City before.

They gathered under the Moonlight Tree, discussing fervently, with some of the bolder ones even climbing into the tree's crown.

Yet, the Moonlight Tree, which had previously displayed great might, now only occasionally shook its branches and leaves, as if being lightly scratched, showing none of its former ferocity against the Nether Demon Heaven Monsters.

"With such a foolish appearance, no one would believe it's a great demon comparable to the Yin God realm." Chen Mu pouted.

...

As time passed, more and more people gathered under the Moonlight Tree

Several days later, a small green-black spiral shell appeared on a secluded hill dozens of miles from the big tree.

This was where Chen Mu chose to temporarily reside.

At the entrance, Chen Mu lay on a rocking chair, looking up at the sky, which had completely turned blood-red and sighed.

"It's completely taken on the appearance of Nether Demon Heaven."

"It seems the Yama Cave Heaven Barrier has shattered, and Mist Ridge has been fully invaded."

"Even if all the Mist Mirages turned into reality, how long can it hold them off?"

Chen Mu's heart was heavy.

In the distant sky, a three-headed bird over ten meters long swooped down. Then, with a bang, it was shattered on the invisible barrier, then slid along the outer wall of the invisible barrier, falling away.

Chen Mu glanced and then ignored it.

In the days gone, as more Yin Spirits gathered under the Moonlight Tree, similar scenes played out repeatedly.

To those Nether Demon Heaven Monsters, the Yin Spirits under the tree were like little snacks, full of temptation. Every day, all sorts of bizarre demons attempted to rush in for the hunt.

Fortunately, with the protection of the Tree King's Barrier, attacks from demon monsters were blocked.

"Ultimately, this is not a long-term solution."

Chen Mu looked toward the distant Moonlight Tree.

The big tree stood silently there, emitting an inexplicable attraction. The Mist of Confusion filling the mountains and forests was being drawn into the tree.

"The Mist of Confusion is probably the power driving the Moonlight Tree King's Barrier."

"Given the rupture of the sky, Yama Cave Heaven has issues, and the Mist of Confusion cannot be endlessly available as before.

Chen Mu thoughtfully gazed at the blood-red sky.

"I need to find a way to leave Mist Ridge, or... to leave Nether Demon Heaven altogether!"

Previously trapped within Yama Cave Heaven, all around blocked by the Mist of Confusion, Chen Mu didn't know where he was, nor where to run to.

Now, identifying this place as Nether Demon Heaven, though dangerous, gave him a new avenue.

"Ghost Gate, Underworld Netherworld!"

Chen Mu glanced at the Bottomless Pool within the Five Ghosts Bag, his heart settling.

Many years ago, he had accidentally arrived in Nether Demon Heaven, and back then, he used the Ghost Gate to teleport back to Netherworld Underworld.

Later, he signed the Divine-Sealing Pact, returning to the Hundred Intentions Heaven Thirteen States as a Living God.

If he could repeat those actions...

"Well, it's just being a Living God once more, not like I haven't done it before, humph!"

Chen Mu raised his hand, releasing the hundred thousand Ghosts within the Five Ghosts Bag, casting the Mountain Carrying Scripture Jade Gate Spell, instantly forming a three-meter-tall small Ghost Gate.

Closing his eyes to perceive, it wasn't long before he found a familiar air current.

"Sure enough, it can lock onto the Netherworld Underworld!" Chen Mu's heart was lifted.

But he immediately frowned.

He could feel the aura of the Netherworld Underworld, yet he couldn't teleport directly there.

It was as if there was a door in front of him, one he could touch, but lacked the strength to push open.

"Does it require a sacrifice?" Reflecting on his past experiences, Chen Mu realized.

The Ghost Gate's Ground Shrinking is assisted by the power of Forget River. For short-distance teleportation, the consumption of the Yin Soul Divine Power suffices. But as Nether Demon Heaven is Beyond Heaven, cross-realm teleportation requires a blood sacrifice of a Nether Demon Heaven monster.

Chen Mu once again looked up, toward the location where the three-headed bird had crashed and died earlier.

A flock of dark birds circled in mid-air, attempting to swoop down for an attack.

"Heh!"

"What a coincidence."

"Ready-made sacrifices!"
