Chapter 416: Chapter 385 Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage_1

Clang!

A crisp collision sound rang out!

A tiny gap appeared at the point of contact between the Sky-splitting Halberd and the chain, but it quickly healed in less than the duration of a breath.

Boom!

The golden light around them surged violently as if affected.

At the same time, Xu Mu, who had made the strike, collapsed to the ground with convulsions all over his body, like a common person touched a high-voltage line. It took a while for him to recover due to the function of his Vajra Body.

He hastily checked the chain, finding it still whole and undamaged.

He was nearly shocked to pass out just now and didn’t notice the temporary appearance of the gap on the chain.

Then, Xu Mu tried several more times but with the same result. Finally, he shouted into the void, “Seniors! I have tried my best! But I am truly powerless!”

Although slashing the chain can increase his power, Xu Mu would rather gain freedom as soon as possible. By his calculations, the Xuan Yang Secret Realm was closing soon, and it would be too late if he didn’t leave.

He was convinced that the bird-headed person was watching him closely, so he didn’t worry about not being heard.

“Continue.”

In the endless light came a faint two-word reply.

Xu Mu’s mouth twitched. Though he was reluctant, he didn’t dare to retort.

The next moment, the boundless golden light suddenly jumped across the barricade, enveloping his entire body.

Xu Mu was startled. He thought his reluctance was noticed, so the other was trying to punish him with the golden light. However, before he could beg for mercy, a pure and incredibly powerful energy surged into his body.

This energy was extremely high-level and perfectly merged with the Spiritual Power in Xu Mu’s body. Following this, Xu Mu’s cultivation began to skyrocket rapidly.

Nascent Soul Stage – Second level!

Nascent Soul Stage – Third level!

Nascent Soul Stage – Fourth level!

Nascent Soul Stage – Fifth level!

Nascent Soul Stage – Sixth level!

Just when Xu Mu was nearly ecstatic with the rapid progress, the energy was suddenly withdrawn. In that instant, Xu Mu felt as if he was plunged from heaven into hell, feeling empty and hollow.

Why?

Why didn’t you promote me to the Divinity Transformation Stage all at once?

I’m fine! I can handle it! Continue!

Xu Mu shouted inwardly.

He believed that the mysterious birdman could hear him.

“Once you help me break the chain, I can help you forcefully upgrade your cultivation to the Divinity Transformation Stage.”

The birdman’s voice came from the golden light.

“Rest assured, Senior, I will risk my life to help you break this damned chain!”

At this moment, Xu Mu was totally motivated.

Don’t blame him for being practical. Man risks his life for money, and a bird is willing to die for food. Although the offer might be a pie in the sky, the promised benefits were too great. That small amount of time just now was equivalent to a thousand years of normal cultivation during the Nascent Soul Stage.

As for what might happen after the chain is broken, such as the chain being a seal and the other party being a devastating monster that might unleash endless slaughter.

So what if it is? He couldn’t bother to care about that!

Besides, does he have any other choices now?

As for why the other party upgraded his cultivation, it probably wasn’t to get his gratitude. It should simply be because his cultivation was too low and couldn’t break the chain. So the other party upgraded his cultivation while painting a bigger pie for him.
