Chapter 506: Chapter 473: Regarding the Child_1
Upon leaving the Butian Pavilion, Xu Mu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Truthfully, he had not wished to engage in a heated confrontation. Even though he had been confident of his safe escape before his arrival, he had been more willing to pay less of a price if possible.
It did not matter whether Qiu Jixing had any involvement in this matter; what mattered was whether it was worth it to trade their lives for his trump card.
For now, it did not seem to be worth it, or rather, it could not be traded.
His strength would soon greatly increase and then he would have plenty of opportunities to annihilate them. There was no need to use his trump card to deal with such minor characters right now.
Once a trump card was used, it would be difficult to take it back.
“However, Qiu Jixing’s reaction was a bit strange.”
Even though he had left the Butian Pavilion and the people there could do nothing about him, this trip was too smooth sailing, which made him slightly apprehensive.
Especially Qiu Jixing, he had conceded too easily at the end.
Xu Mu had originally speculated that at least a show of strength would have been necessary before negotiations could continue.
But now he only gave Qiu Jixing a way out, and unexpectedly, he complied and let him leave safely.
If this leaked out, Qiu Jixing’s authority in the sect would probably plummet, and it would be very difficult for him to continue as the Pavilion Master.
Given Qiu Jixing’s intelligence, there’s no way he couldn’t see this coming.
Xu Mu did not believe that Qiu Jixing would be so kind, and clearly, because he looked handsome, he was eating such a big loss. Perhaps there was a card up his sleeve.
But for now, since he couldn’t guess his opponent’s thoughts, he decided to stop worrying needlessly and focus on dealing with the San Jue monk.
During his months of hiding, he had thoroughly investigated everything.
Compared to Mu Yuchan, the San Jue monk was even more detestable.
Spreading out his Phoenix Wings, Xu Mu morphed into a beam of Escape Light, zooming off towards the Palace of Pure Heart with immense speed.
After about an hour of flight, Xu Mu suddenly felt his heart pounding in alarm.
Before he could react, a gigantic palm made of energy pierced through the clouds, covering a ten-mile radius and mercilessly slamming down on him.
Divinity Transformation Stage!
Without much thought, Xu Mu knew that only a cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Stage could use such an unfathomable method.
Boom!
Under the immense pressure, Xu Mu didn’t even extract the Sky-splitting Halberd in time and was pummeled into the vast sea.
The collision with the seemingly soft seawater felt harder than mysterious iron. The sound of cracking bones echoed from his body, and he was transformed into a bloody mess with an unknown number of broken bones and torn muscles.
Xu Mu finally realized the true power of the Divinity Transformation Stage, which was simply unbeatable by those at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Moreover, this might have been just a casual blow from the opponent, a lightning-fast attack to prevent him from noticing.
The blow had severely injured him.
Given that his body had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul, he was mortally wounded with just one slap.
A common Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would likely be blown apart instantly.
With him severely injured and his mind buzzing, hundreds of starlights were already converging in the sky and were about to rain down on his body.
He guessed that this was probably the opponent’s killing move.
The power of each starlight could be as overwhelming as that palm strike.
“To use such immense power right off the bat, I admire this style.”
Xu Mu bared his teeth in a grin, which, coupled with the blood in his face, made him look like an evil spirit.
“Let’s see then, which of us dies first! Go!”
A rune, twisting like a dragon-snake, flew from Xu Mu’s body. The next moment, it crossed the void, leaving an imprint on a handsome young man wearing a robe adorned with stars.
“Damn! This is refining…!”
The young man’s eyes widened abruptly, as though he had seen a ghost, his teeth grinding in his mouth.
However, before he could finish his sentence, his entire body exploded with a bang.
The far-off power of the stars that had been consolidated, also lost control with the shattering of his body, and exploded in mid-air.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the heavens and the earth lost their colour.
The intense explosion resulted in a chain of shockwaves, stirring hundreds of miles around into chaos.
When everything eventually settled down, the sea was littered with dead fish, and several nearby islands were outright obliterated.
“Damn it!”
A white fox, completely battered by the explosion, crawled out from the sea and then opened its mouth to vomit out a figure completely covered in blood and gore.
This figure was naturally Xu Mu.
He didn’t expect that the residual impact alone would add injury to his already wounded state.
If he were really hit by its full force, he would probably be turned into ashes on the spot, regardless of what measures he had.
The gap between the Nascent Soul Stage and the Divinity Transformation Stage is simply too great, despite him already surpassing peers at his stage, he still couldn’t compete.
However, usually, a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage wouldn’t use full power due to the laws of heaven and earth. But the one who attacked him now used full force from the start, which definitely marked him as a ruthless person.
In addition, there is another possibility – that the opponent knew about his trump cards.
But it seems quite normal when he thinks about it. If he didn’t know his strength, why would a top Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator suddenly emerge to kill him?
He just didn’t know if his attack just now had killed the opponent.
The method he got from his divine doppelgänger was exchanged according to strict rules. He wasn’t sure how powerful it was.
He only knew that if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator encountered him, he would die without a doubt. As for one in the Divinity Transformation Stage, it was less certain since he himself was not at that stage and did not know the specific results.
However, since the opponent’s aura has now disappeared, he doesn’t know whether he was dead or had fled. And he no longer had the opportunity for a follow-up attack.
As for who this Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator was, anyone could tell that he must be from the Cluster Stars Sect.
Because in this sea area, only the Cluster Stars Sect could cultivate a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“It seems the rumors are true, the Butian Pavilion is just the Cluster Stars Sect’s lapdog! Otherwise, how could the Cluster Stars Sect react so fast!”
It was only half an hour since he left, and a Divinity Transformation cultivator had already caught up with him. If the Butian Pavilion did not have a good relationship with the Cluster Stars Sect, even if the message had been conveyed, the sect might not necessarily believe it, let alone dispatch a Divinity Transformation cultivator.
The Butian Pavilion specialises in cultivation and the Pavilion Master practices the Way of the Stars. Their sectarian treasure is also related to star power. This already explained everything.
Or perhaps most of the upper echelons already knew, leaving only the recently emerged people like him uncertain about their relationship.
If he thought deeper, this operation against Palace of Pure Heart probably also had something to do with the Cluster Stars Sect.
But they probably never dreamed that Xu Mu’s trump cards could even fend off a Divinity Transformation cultivator.
If the Divinity Transformation cultivator wasn’t dead, the opponent might feel a little better.
If he’s dead, they would probably turn green with regret.
Even the Cluster Stars Sect would have a hard time bearing the loss of a Divinity Transformation cultivator.
If the sect only had one Divinity Transformation cultivator, that would be quite interesting.
“But it’s not the time for revenge now, I should return to the Palace of Pure Heart and deal with the troubles first!”
Although he could use his talisman two more times, the Cluster Stars Sect has controlled this sea area for tens of thousands of years, having countless trumps up its sleeves. Merely two chances might not solve the problem. For now, he would have to take a long-term view. Even if he really wanted revenge, he had to gather more information first.
After Xu Mu stabilized his injuries with the pill, he headed towards Palace of Pure Heart.
After an unknown amount of time, a handsome young man wearing a starry robe, transformed into an Escape Light and flew over from afar. Looking at the ravaged sea, his expression was solemn.
“This man destroyed one of my avatars so easily, what kind of fortune has he obtained?”
