After Mu delivered his passionate speech, he was the first to launch an attack on the Origin Body, which was locked in place to maintain its stability. His words carried no deception; this was indeed his final strike in a desperate battle.

Forcefully breaking the flesh seal of the Origin Body would indeed unleash greater power from her, but it would also cause her energy form to go berserk beyond control for a short time. They only had these few precious minutes to inflict severe damage if they hoped to seize a chance for escape.

Witnessing Mu's nearly frantic full-force display of all his abilities made the Divine Desire people realize the true extent of the Origin Body's power, and they dared not slack, deploying their best skills.

For a moment, the sky was filled with fire dragons, ice arrows, vines, falling rocks, explosions, and mental spikes, all converging into a torrent of attacks pouring down on the Origin Energy Form.

Seeing this, Pei Jin, who was sitting in his chair, could no longer remain still and sprang up to help. Pei Yan also hurriedly rose to his feet. At that moment, the Origin Body in the air, barely holding together after consecutive attacks, weakly extended a wrist and gestured for the two to sit back down, but as soon as she did, her body was blasted open with a large hole.

The dazzling attacks ceased abruptly. Mr. Mu, seeing the impact of their assault, shouted, "Run!" Without looking back, he fled toward the depths of the bamboo forest. Seeing this, the others also stopped their attacks and turned to run.

While fleeing, Mu took out a spare Temporary Teleportation Array, waiting to use it as soon as he escaped the Origin Body's control range. But as he ran frantically in desperation, he was shocked to find that the scenery around him wasn't changing much; it felt as though he was running in place.

In shock, he looked around and saw his subordinates wearing the same terrified expressions as himself. Looking down at his feet and the environment, he finally realized that he wasn't running in place; rather, the land under his feet and the surrounding scenery were being pulled backward by someone.

Realizing this, he turned his rigid neck to look back, only to see that the Origin Body, previously blasted open and wounded by their combined attacks, had restored her human form and was calmly extending her hand, beckoning him.

At this point, Mr. Mu felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. He was like Monkey Sun in the palm of the Tathagata Buddha, no matter how desperately he tried, he couldn't escape the opponent's Five Finger Mountain.

With the breath he was holding onto dissipating, Mu's body could no longer withstand the forceful pull and flew straight back. The other Divine Desire members around him also couldn't hold out long before being dragged back by the intense suction.

Pei Yan glanced at the Origin Maiden who sat elegantly beside him and then at the disheveled, blood-stained Mr. Mu who lay prostrate before him. If one didn't look carefully, Pei Yan would find it hard to connect this person with the witty, charming figure he met a week ago.

"You win. Do as you please. Cough, cough, cough!" Mr. Mu lay motionless on the ground, turning his head with lifeless eyes, accepting his fate. After speaking, he coughed up blood from the corners of his mouth.

Sitting casually in the chair, crossing her legs, the Origin Maiden who called herself Lin Junzhao tapped her fingers on the armrest and smiled slightly. "I won't kill you that quickly." With that, she gently bent Mu's tightly held right hand open, letting the Temporary Teleportation Array Plate float into her hand.

Lin Junzhao played with the Temporary Teleportation Array Plate in her hands and asked softly, "Is the other end of this teleportation array another of your Divine Desire's rendezvous points?"

Lying on the ground, Mu seemed resigned to death, and buried his head stone-silent at her question. Lin Junzhao showed no anger; tossing the array plate onto the empty ground in front of her, she reached out with her left hand to gently stroke Pei Jin's wrist, while her right hand lifted to point at the forehead of a black-robed man on the ground.

With a resounding bang, the black-robed man's head exploded, a gush of red and white fluid pouring out from the small hole in his forehead. Then, she moved her finger to point at the next person, who was a middle-aged Daoist Realm lady renowned for her exquisite magic. It looked like she not intending to sit idly by and die. Just as Lin Junzhao's finger was about to touch her forehead, she quickly formed a spell with her hands, revealing sixteen talismans that slashed towards Lin Junzhao's head.

Taking this opportunity, several black-robed men beside her suddenly launched an attack, targeting not Lin Junzhao, but Pei Jin instead. Clearly, the intimate gestures between the Origin Body and Pei Jin had made him a viable target in their eyes. If they could successfully capture Pei Jin, they might still have a sliver of hope.

"Shameless!" Pei Yan immediately jumped up from his chair, his body fully mechanized as he raised his hand to stop them. But before he could act, the attackers already tumbled back to the ground, rolling about and screaming. The sixteen talismans fluttered down in front of Lin Junzhao, who caught one in her hand to observe with interest.

Standing there, Pei Yan watched these powerful opponents writhing on the ground, frantically scratching their skin until it was a bloody mess. Even more shockingly, the middle-aged lady from the Daoist Realm, as though on fire, stripped herself naked without regard for the onlookers, displaying her graceful form and flushed skin, before diving headfirst into the pond, never resurfacing.

"What did you do to them?" Pei Yan turned his head in disbelief, asking. In such a short time, besides Mr. Mu, all the Divine Desire members before him were dead, their corpses bloody and scares all over. Eyes bulging, they died with everlasting grievances.

"These superhumans, cultivators, and mages rely on internal sources: spiritual power and magic power. In their respective worlds, they might replenish it endlessly, but here, they are outliers. Our world is meant to purify energy leaks from other realms. I just injected a bit of Origin Power into them when their spirits faltered and their internal energy dwindled, allowing the Origin Power to clash, consume, and eventually explode with their internal sources."

Listening to Lin Junzhao's nonchalant explanation, Pei Yan felt a chill run down his spine. He'd encountered this situation before when converting his companions' internal energy to Origin Power. However, in those times, he and his friends tried hard to prevent such situations, whereas Lin Junzhao induced it. It dawned on him that those people's meridians must have been destroyed by the erupting energy.

What a terrifying woman!
