Li Mu sat on the carpet in the living room.

Maids filed in one by one, carrying silver plates the size of basins, piled high with various foods, placing them in front of him.

Steaming lamb masala, thick chicken curry, dark green spinach cheese, meaty biryani, and a large basket of baked naan with cheese, vegetables, and coconut.

Li Mu unceremoniously mixed the stew with his hand, grabbed a large handful, and stuffed it into his mouth with the roasted naan, devouring the food at an astonishing speed.

After washing his hands in the silver basin of clear water held by the maid, he waved his hand, and all the maids orderly retreated from the living room.

Li Mu sat on the carpet, holding a silver pot in his hand, gently shaking it.

He had already checked, and every hidden place in the villa arranged for him had been fitted with cameras, monitored twenty-four hours a day.

Naturally, Li Mu wouldn’t let the surveillance stop him from doing anything. During the shaking process, the Soul Spring in the Exile Realm was continuously poured into the silver pot.

During this time, the Exile Realm had accumulated a little more Soul Spring, which he took out, filling about a quarter of the silver pot. It was much less than before, but it should be enough.

With the help of the Book of Heroes and the Soul Spring in the depths of the Source Ocean, Li Mu’s psychic power had almost reached the limit of the fifth level, more than twice that of an ordinary fifth-level awakened individual, and was on the verge of entering the fourth level. Very few people could accumulate such a deep foundation as he did.

Throwing his head back, Li Mu drank all the Soul Spring in the pot.

With the bitter taste seeping into the depths of his soul, the pure source essence surged within his soul. He controlled this source essence, dividing it into two streams, with the larger one washing over the Ancient Scales of the holy relic.

The strange text on the Ancient Scales, resembling a long snake, glowed slightly upon receiving the supplement of source essence.

This extraordinary holy relic did not undergo a dramatic change like the Electrokinesis, but it just became more active. There were differences between the holy relics, and the Ancient Scales required much more holy relic for evolution than the Electrokinesis.

Li Mu calmly condensed his psychic power, and a dense layer of psychic energy scales emerged under his clothes. The blue color deepened, and his defense was enhanced once again.

He stood up, walked out of the villa, and prepared to take a stroll in the woods outside. The security personnel who had been monitoring him didn’t notice anything unusual, as his whereabouts had been very fixed for the past two days, and he would go for a walk at this time.

Not long after entering the woods, he felt the world beginning to change.

A terrifying existence was lurking just beyond the world, staring at this place with her indescribable, unnamable eyes that no mortal could look upon directly.

Possessing the Divine Eye and the Illusion Breaker Eyes, Li Mu had far more powerful eyesight than ordinary awakened individuals.

He could vaguely see the maddening partial body of the Soul Lord, Darovitchana.

Countless, nauseating wrinkled skin was tightly pressed against the world’s membrane, wriggling and exerting force, trying to squeeze out a gap.

She wanted to pull out the defilers who stole her power from the wasteland world like worms and banish them to the Source Ocean, bestowing upon them near-eternal torment.

The surrounding space began to show unsettling cracks, and amidst the piercing cracking sounds, Li Mu could even hear the surging sounds of the Source Ocean’s tides from the other side.

The next moment, he disappeared from the spot and entered the Exile Realm.

In the God and Demon’s Nest, Li Mu stood in the main hall, and the almost skin-tight greasy malice disappeared instantly.

Taking a deep breath, he sat down, summoned a breeze and bright moonlight, took a bath, and ate an entire roast deer before finally recovering.

Being targeted by the Olden Day Ruler was very uncomfortable, even for someone as resistant as him, causing discomfort all over his body.

After obtaining the Illusion Breaker Eyes, Li Mu found that every time he drank from the Soul Spring in the Wasteland World, he would touch some unknown existence in the Source Ocean. That should be the Soul Lord.

The source essence obtained through the Soul Spring came from the Soul Lord. Once or twice, the Soul Lord would ignore it, but after many times, the Soul Lord, not being a fool, naturally determined that someone was indeed stealing her power.

Because of the Child of Plutonium’s great power isolation, she could only vaguely sense the existence of the thief and needed to do so during the brief time before the source essence was converted into psychic power.

Once converted into psychic power, she completely lost her perception of the stolen power.

So every time someone drank from the Soul Spring, the Soul Lord could locate it once, narrowing down the range of the thief’s location.

Li Mu’s last sip of the Soul Spring allowed her to complete the location completely. However, this had nothing to do with him who had fled to the Exile Realm. Naturally, Raja Santanu would take the blame for him.

He took out the coiled skeletal remains and silently began to convert the stolen source essence.

Facing the upcoming situation, the fifth-level strength was no longer enough. Li Mu was preparing to elevate his strength to the fourth level to face the challenges.

From Li Mei and Chen Luo Yan, he had already mastered the breakthrough barriers.

The fourth-level awakened individuals, each with different psychic power paths. The enhancement-type psychic power mainly creates psychic power pathways within the body, allowing psychic power to be mobilized instantly, possessing amazing explosive and destructive power.

However, that was something to be done after breaking through to the fourth level.

What Li Mu had to do now was to refine his psychic power. This was simple yet difficult.

He had to incorporate all of his psychic power into his soul, endure the soul-tearing pain, and wait until the psychic power was refined.

The vast majority of fifth-level awakened individuals fail due to insufficient psychic energy, as their psychic energy cannot be sublimated. A very few geniuses, on the other hand, fail because their psychic energy is too vast, resulting in an inability to endure the pain brought about by sublimation or the direct tearing of their souls.

Li Mu had consumed a large number of Soul Pine nuts, which made his soul’s resilience far superior to that of ordinary awakened individuals. Without this, he wouldn’t have had the confidence to forcibly accommodate all his psychic energy within his soul.

He adjusted his mental and physical state, then sat cross-legged on the throne of the God and Demon’s Nest, placing the Blade of Annihilation on his thigh.

After a short while, the God and Demon’s Nest became completely quiet, with only the faint sound of the brain Lilia swimming in the vat.

However, the wasteland outside the Exile Realm was not peaceful. Raja Santanu, who was located in the central palace of the enormous greenhouse, was using source essence in combination with the holy relic to transform his own organs into psychic energy organs.

At the third level, the most basic way to enhance one’s strength is through psychic energy organs, but this requires the consumption of a large amount of source essence. Even for Raja Santanu, progress was slow.

These Soul Spring water benefited him immensely.

Suddenly, Raja Santanu felt an extreme chill, as if some terrifying entity was staring at him.
