Chapter 181: Chapter 157: Old Tree Blossoms_2
Translator: 549690339 |
Xu Mu stayed in the Whale Sea Gang for two months, and after much nurturing, successfully planted seeds in the couple’s field.
After bidding farewell to the two women, Xu Mu transformed into a silver shark and headed towards the small mysterious realm.
His formation skills had greatly improved during this visit, so he planned to strengthen the formation at the entrance, ensuring that it wouldn’t be discovered by others.
This was to delay Lu Jingkong’s emergence as much as possible.
Lu Jingkong absolutely detested him, and with his dead body in his possession, he would definitely cause him trouble if he emerged.
Xu Mu in his silver shark form, like a bolt of silver lightning, instantly traversed hundreds of feet, quickly reaching the waters where the small realm was located.
However, before he could dive down, the surrounding waters suddenly solidified, as though an invisible force had frozen them.
“An ambush?!”
Xu Mu’s heart jumped slightly, but he wasn’t particularly nervous because he didn’t think there was anyone in the nearby waters who could rival him. Even if a dozen cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage teamed up, he wouldn’t be afraid, and there weren’t even that many at that stage in the vicinity.
Nevertheless, being the cautious person he was, Xu Mu was not going to take unnecessary risks.
1‘ Illusionary Thunder!”
A dazzling silver light exploded from Xu Mu’s body and swept across all directions. In the gap caused by the thunder explosion, he turned around and swam upwards.
Under no circumstances should one engage in combat with an unknown enemy in their encircling trap.
Bang!
“What is that?”
As Xu Mu made his retreat, he was bounced back as if he had hit an inflatable barrier.
Yet, he had sensed nothing in his Divine Intent.
There were neither energy fluctuations nor physical presences.
“Could the opponent be extremely skilled at camouflage?”
The thought flashed through his mind, and his initial contempt instantly turned serious.
The Thunder Slash sword appeared in his hand, Xu Mu reverted to his human form, surrounded by golden thunder light, his body rapidly expanded, transforming into a gold thundering giant, and he slashed at the sea ahead.
The thunder morphed into a half-moon-shaped Sword Qi, colliding heavily with the invisible barrier. With a crackling sound, the golden thunder light encountered obstruction and exploded violently, creating a storm of underwater thunder.
With the spread of the golden light, a massive silhouette was outlined.
It was a giant transparent jellyfish, dozens of feet high.
Around the large jellyfish, there were countless small jellyfish. They formed a circle, enclosing Xu Mu in the middle.
As the thunder light disappeared, the jellyfish did as well.
When Xu Mu attempted to scan with his Divine Intent, he still couldn’t detect anything.
“What kind of jellyfish is this, capable of shielding Divine Intent?”
While Xu Mu was shocked, he also felt a great sense of danger.
The strike he had just launched was 70% of his full strength, and yet the opponent emerged unscathed. This level of strength had exceeded his.
“It must be a monster beast of tier seven and above!”
A tier seven giant jellyfish, accompanied by countless small jellyfish, posed a significant threat to his life.
Although he didn’t understand why there would be a tier seven group of jellyfish here, Xu Mu felt it would be better to leave first.
Roar!
Xu Mu’s body swelled again, seeming to grow boundlessly, expanding a hundredfold, morphing into an enormous half-man, half-whale creature. He was almost as large as the jellyfish.
To break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible, Xu Mu pushed his Earth-Splitting Whale bloodline to the extreme.
“Get outof my way!”
Xu Mu’s right hand, wrapped in endless electricity, hammered towards the jellyfish.
Bang!
Like hitting a balloon, the transparent jellyfish reappeared, flung away by Xu Mu’s attack, causing a terrifying tsunami.
Bang, bang!
Xu Mu kept attacking, forcing open a path.
Countless small jellyfish were shattered, spilling copious amounts of blue blood, dyeing the entire sea into fluorescent blue.
The giant jellyfish attacked by Xu Mu extended numerous tentacles, trying to ensnare Xu Mu, who kept waving his arms in attack.
The two gigantic creatures stirred the sea, causing enormous waves, and the residents of nearby islands thought an underwater earthquake had occurred.
Many low-tier cultivators took to the skies to get a better look, only to see churning sea and a figure shrouded in thunder, busily thrashing about.
“What monster is that? Why is it here?”
The cultivators were so frightened they wished they could find a crack in a rock to hide in.
“Damn it! How is this creature so resilient?!”
After fighting with the giant jellyfish for a while, Xu Mu realized he couldn’t do anything to it. Similarly, the jellyfish seemed to have no solution for him either. He couldn’t afford to delay any longer!
Just as Xu Mu was about to take out the Immobilize Talisman to immobilize the jellyfish before figuring out how to kill it, three strong Divine Intent signals from cultivators at the Golden Core Stage shot up from the seabed.
“Who are you? How dare you harm my pet!”
A woman’s shriek was the first to be heard.
Xu Mu found it familiar, and then he recognized it as the female Golden Core Stage cultivator he had met at the Blue Scale Clan. They had even made a deal before.
Flee!
Although he was acquainted with her and they had some relationship, this was only when he was in his Thunder Silver Shark form. In his present form, she wouldn’t recognize him.
Why was she here in the first place?
Xu Mu’s first thought was the small mysterious realm.
He had the Bloodline of the Earth-Splitting Whale, and the small realm was constructed from the carcass of an Earth-Splitting Whale. Even a fool could see there was a connection between the two.
