Chapter 347: Chapter 316: Misty Sea and Virtualization Skill_1
“Cough, cough!”
Xu Mu was flung far away before he dropped out of his Virtualization State, only to cough up a large mouthful of blood. His body was in so much pain that it was almost convulsing.
He was hit directly by that attack, despite his best efforts to defend himself, he was nearly killed instantly on the spot.
This once again made him aware of how terrifying the Nascent Soul Stage was.
“I was too naive before, thinking I was something big just because I killed a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.”
A bitter smile appeared on Xu Mu’s face as he quickly took out a healing pill to consume.
Aside from the one time he fought with the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he hadn’t encountered anyone else at the Nascent Soul Stage ever since.
He thought that after he could kill a Nascent Soul Stage, no matter how weak he was, he should at least be able to get by in the Nascent Soul Stage.
But now when he thought carefully about it, he had been too naive.
Not to mention the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator he had killed, was a bottom-ranked cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Despite all being at the Nascent Soul Stage, there were actually gigantic disparities between cultivators.
It was exactly like the Golden Core Stage. A Golden Core Stage cultivator like him could easily kill a lot of average Golden Core Stage cultivators. His real strength simply couldn’t be regarded as typical for his stage.
The same went for the Nascent Soul Stage. If one cultivated powerful skills or possessed strong Divine Skills, their strength would surpass the average Nascent Soul Stage cultivator by leaps and bounds.
The cultivator who had attacked him just now was probably mid-Nascent Soul Stage, and was roughly in the same situation.
His cultivation was far beyond Xu Mu’s, coupled with his powerful Divine Skills, it was a surprise that he didn’t kill Xu Mu on the spot.
Xu Mu speculated that even a typical Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to withstand a single blow from him.
“Moreover, I could feel that he didn’t use his full strength!”
The opponent was probably afraid of killing him instantly and might have only used 30 to 50 percent of their power. When the opponent was about to make contact, they evidently pulled back some of their power.
This clearly indicated the vast gap between them and was the primary reason why Xu Mu was able to survive.
“Indeed, one should not look down upon the world! Which one of those who manage to cultivate to mid-Nascent Soul Stage is a weakling?”
Xu Mu mocked himself while he activated his healing pill and circulated his power to recover from his injuries.
Thinking about it, him being able to kill a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had a lot to do with luck.
If he knew early on that the gap between him and the Nascent Soul Stage was this wide, he would definitely not have chosen to enter through the safe entrance.
That he was able to escape this time was also due largely to his luck.
When he was slapped into the Misty Area, he immediately found ways to escape and hide. As for resisting, that was out of the question.
Therefore, he immediately virtualized, originally planning to shrink and conceal himself from his opponent, but surprisingly, right after he virtualized, he felt a resonance with the surrounding mist.
In simple terms, he fit right in.
Normally after he virtualized, his flying speed would decrease significantly.
But in the mist, his speed was greatly boosted, allowing him to easily dodge the subsequent attacks from the mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
Later on, when the opponent used Divine Intent to search, they completely overlooked Xu Mu’s existence, as if they couldn’t sense him at all.
If his injuries weren’t so severe, Xu Mu would have even liked to launch a surprise attack on the opponent using the characteristics of the mist, to see if he could take his revenge.
The benefits brought by the Misty Area to his virtualized state were indeed enormous.
As time steadily passed, Xu Mu recuperated in the Misty Area for three months before his injuries were mostly healed.
“That bastard was really ruthless. Once I reach the Nascent Soul Stage, I won’t let him off the hook.”
Xu Mu grumbled fiercely in his heart.
If he didn’t have the remarkable Virtualization Skill, he could’ve really died at the opponent’s hands. This would result in a deadly grudge between them.
