Chapter 414: Chapter 383: Reversal_1
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Primordial Bell and the God Refining Tripod continuously collided, sending out terrifying waves of sound. The affected Xu Mu spat out blood again and again, his vitality growing weaker and weaker, like a flickering candle in the wind.
Yet, he’s not dead. He’s just hanging on by a thread!
At the beginning, the three fighters from the Cluster Stars Sect were quite excited, their confidence of victory reassured. They believed they were close to having the two Heavenly Spirit Treasures in their hands.
But as time passed, they gradually began feeling that something was off.
Xu Mu wasn’t an ordinary Nascent Soul. He had some survival techniques; they could understand his strong endurance. But after hundreds of attacks, their spiritual power was almost depleted, the effect of the pills was about to wear off; yet this guy still managed to hang on, seemingly surviving purely by determination.
Not only did the three from the Cluster Stars Sect feel that something was wrong, but the distant onlookers ready to seize an opportunity for robbery including Lian Hongshuang and the True Monarch BaiBao felt it too.
“Is this kid doing this on purpose?”
An absurd idea appeared in their minds.
However, the idea was too absurd they didn’t dare confirm it instantly.
After all, who would purposely injure themselves all over, especially now? Wouldn’t that be akin to seeking one’s death?
Whether others would or wouldn’t, Xu Mu didn’t care about that, but himself –
He would!
“Using these sound waves to cultivate the Vajra Unyielding Body, this is brilliant!”
In the beginning, he was still thinking of using magic to resist. But the very next moment he found that the sound waves infiltrated to the marrow, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of the Vajra Unyielding Body by over a hundred times.
“So sound waves are the fastest method to cultivate Resilient Divine Body!”
Xu Mu had a revelation.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xu Mu naturally wouldn’t want to let go. So he drew back his spiritual strength, only protecting his Nascent Soul, allowing the sound waves to attack his main body.
To allay the suspicion of the trio, Xu Mu couldn’t make his behavior too obvious. The trio weren’t fools, they would change their attack method if they found something strange. Therefore, he had to pretend to be struggling due to the injuries inflicted purposely by their usuall attacks.
Under the bombardment of the sound waves, his Vajra Unyielding Body had reached its thrilling limit, his body undergoing transformation and becoming tough from within, clearly having become stronger by at least two times. The gains from this couldn’t be compared with training in the Earth Flame Vein for three years.
As for MingLing Chun who were trapped in the tripod, they were safer with the power of space isolating them. This indicated that the grade of the God Refining Tripod was far superior to that of the Primordial Bell.
“Try again a few more times, I don’t believe it will fail!”
Cluster Stars Sect members didn’t know that they not only did not injure Xu Mu but also stepped up his grounding. If they knew this, they would have spat blood from anger.
However, as time passed, no matter how stupid they were, they still find a problem.
“There’s something wrong with this child. Call back the Primordial Bell and attack him with magical skills!” said the hawk nosed elder.
The two others didn’t object and hastily cooperated to recall the Primordial Bell.
They had to recall it. The Amplification Pills they consumed had worn off. They were feeling extremely weak now, and to forcibly operate the Primordial Bell would be more harm than help.
“Ah! Why did you stop!”
The three of them wanted to withdraw, but Xu Mu wasn’t compliant.
He called back the God Refining Tripod, momentarily revealing his true strength. Holding the Sky-splitting Halberd in his hand, he rushed towards them. He quickly caught up to the Primordial Bell and swung his Sky-Splitting Halberd with all his might.
Hum!
A dull gong sounded alongside a harsh metallic friction.
Xu Mu, who no longer needed to pretend, showed a little hint of paleness on his face, revealing a look of comfort.
The three from the Cluster Stars Sect had already noticed the anomalies and they now completely realized that the attack they had exhausted their energy on seemed not only harmless but even beneficial to Xu Mu.
What the heck?
The three of them were almost driven crazy!
Lian Hongshuang and the True Monarch BaiBao who were observing from a distance wore expressions of disbelief as well, as if they had seen a ghost.
How was there such a person in the world? Was he even human?
No, he was not human, but a member of the Sea Race.
Could it be that he was a unique type of Sea Race that could swallow sound waves?
Their thoughts were getting more and more bizarre.
Xu Mu had no time to care about their feelings. He chased the Primordial Bell relentlessly, persistently attacking. The results, boosted by the Sky-Splitting Halberd, were even better than before.
The Primordial Bell was now like utmost delicacy in his eyes. How would he let it go?
The trio from Cluster Stars Sect are now suffering. They had used most of their energy to attack Xu Mu just now, and now they found it tough to control the Primordial Bell. Now, being chased and beaten by Xu Mu, it got even more difficult.
The Primordial Bell which was attacked by Xu Mu was wobbling. Let alone flying back to the three people’s side, just being able to hold it in mid-air was already a tough task.
Thump, thump, thump!
After a few attacks, the three from Cluster Stars Sect finally couldn’t hold on. The shield was shattered by the sound wave, their faces turned pale, and they continuously spat out blood.
The situation had completely reversed in just a blink of an eye.
Lian HongShuang and the other individual, who were not too far away, were stunned.
Forget the fact that Xu Mu was deceptively cunning, just the fact that they were seeing people from the Cluster Stars Sect being suppressed and beaten was something they had never seen in their hundreds of years of existence.
“Take the medicine!”
The three from Cluster Stars Sect realized that the current situation was not sustainable. Despite the risk of being hurt, they decided to take the Amplification Pills once again.
After taking the medicine, the three men’s vitality surged again, quickly recovering to its peak, but this time they dare not clash head on with Xu Mu. They combined all their power, hurriedly recalling the Primordial Bell, and enveloping the three of them within it.
At this time, Xu Mu chased up again, fiercely brandishing his sky-splitting halberd on the Primordial Bell.
Clang!
The three fettered inside hadn’t been as lucky as MingLing Chun, as there was no interference of the power of space within the Primordial Bell. This made the three of them endure a solid sound wave attack.
Thump, thump, thump!
Almost at the same time, the three of them spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. Their faces turned pale as paper, their eyes looked dizzy, and their whole bodies wavered. They looked like ordinary people.
Xu Mu’s eyes gleamed and he launched an attack again. If he could keep the three of them here, then he would strike it big. The teleportation Divine Skill of this Primordial Bell was something he craved.
“Run!”
The hawk nosed elder’s eyes were blood-red. He used some secret method that caused the Primordial Bell to glow brilliantly, directly shaking Xu Mu away. Then they disappeared from the spot along with the Primordial Bell.
Once Xu Mu stabilized himself and looked over again, he noticed that the three men were already ten miles away under the cover of the Primordial Bell.
Before Xu Mu could decide whether to chase them, the Primordial Bell flickered again and the three men had already moved twenty miles away.
“They escaped way too fast!”
Seeing this scene, Xu Mu had no choice but to give up.
If he chased after them, it could end up in an all-or-nothing situation. It’s better to first collect the Xuan Yang Holy Water.
Xu Mu didn’t fly directly toward the Xuan Yang Holy Water but instead turned and looked at Lian Hongshuang and the True Monarch BaiBao.
“Did you two stay here to chat with me?” Xu Mu said indifferently.
The two were startled and quickly descended to the ground. Bringing along their few remaining underlings, they fled.
Xu Mu had previously chased to fight three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators on his own. They were no match for him. To avoid unexpected events while collecting the Xuan Yang Holy Water, they might start by dealing with them first, so the two naturally didn’t dare to stay.
Ignoring those two people who fled, Xu Mu removed the nearby spatial cracks and flew in front of the Xuan Yang Holy Water. But as he cast his magic to collect it, the scenery in front changed abruptly, and he ended up in a strange area.
