Chapter 402: Chapter 371: Pursuit Battle_1
Just now, while going through the formation above, Xu Mu did not detect Yun Mengyao’s presence and guessed that she might be guarding the entrance. Now, it seems his speculation was correct.
At this moment, Yun Mengyao was sitting at the entrance, meditating with closed eyes. Around her were layers upon layers of formations and restrictions, making it practically airtight.
Before her was a space crack, as thin as a wall seam, revealing a sparkling clear lake vastly different from the maritime setting behind.
Just like the scene Xu Mu saw back then!
Xu Mu couldn’t help but feel a little fortunate. At the time when he discovered this mysterious space, he had been cautious and did not enter. Considering his cultivation level at that time, if he had acted rashly, he might have lost his life.
After his moment of relief, he couldn’t help but be troubled by the scene before him.
The stone chamber was quite small, and the many formations within made silent entry into the secret realm exceedingly difficult, even if he were to use all his tricks.
With a glance, Xu Mu had an idea. The illusion of his body slowly receded out of the stone room.
Not long after, a violent explosion resounded on the island. Yun Mengyao, who was in meditation, abruptly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of azure orbs, as clear as gemstones.
With a slight frown, she hesitated for a moment, activated the formation, and descended towards the ground.
Just a few breaths after her departure, Xu Mu’s ethereal figure appeared inside the stone chamber, broke through the layers of formations, and rushed towards the space crack.
Hum!
At the once empty space crack, a blue light curtain suddenly appeared, repelling the illusion of Xu Mu’s body.
“What kind of spell is this?!”
Xu Mu couldn’t help but feel a shock shooting through his heart as even he hadn’t detected anything.
But this clearly wasn’t the time for research. The Sky-splitting Halberd appeared in his hand, slashing fiercely at the blue light curtain.
Chi-La!
Under the blade of the Sky-splitting Halberd, the blue light curtain was instantly split in half.
Without any hesitation, Xu Mu crawled in. At the same time, a blue figure appeared and followed him in unabashedly.
Upon entering the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, before Xu Mu even got a moment to take in his surroundings, he could sense danger closing in behind him.
Freeze!
Xu Mu squeezed his fingers into a spell, forming layers of spiritual power shields behind him.
A blue, dragon-shaped stream of water bombarded the shields mercilessly.
Boom boom boom!
After smashing several shields, the force of the water stream was finally completely resolved, splashing in all directions.
“Hm? He can resist my Water Control Divine Skill?”
A woman’s voice full of surprise reached out.
Turning his head, Xu Mu saw an extremely beautiful woman with blue clothes and blue eyes, looking at him intently.
It was Yun Mengyao!
“You’re pretty impressive as well, breaking through several layers of my spiritual power shields while being in the early Nascent Soul stage!” Xu Mu said indifferently.
He was actually taken aback, not only because she had broken through his mana-constructed shield, but also due to her swift reaction.
The blue light curtain only held up for an instant before she chased after him, which suggested that she must have realized something immediately after leaving the stone chamber and came rushing back, otherwise she would not have been able to catch up.
“You’re also in the early Nascent Soul stage and yet you were able to resist my attack. You’re the impressive one,”
Yun Mengyao stared at Xu Mu, ready to launch a thunderous attack at any sign of trouble.
Xu Mu smiled, but did not explain. Though his cultivation level was indeed the early Nascent Soul stage, his combat power had long reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Plus, he had fused with the Ancestral Nascent Soul, making his spells and divine skills far stronger than those of an ordinary Nascent Soul.
