Chapter 419: Chapter 388 – Cut off _1

Chapter 419: Chapter 388 – Cut off _1

Xu Mu was not only looking after Feng Que, but also of MingLing Chun, although their cases were quite different.

In the void before him, MingLing Chun was completely enveloped in the Xuan Yang Holy Water, plunged into the deepest sleep, and his consciousness and soul were undergoing changes in this slow slumber.

After all, given the congenital defect, the repair would not be a simple task.

“At this rate, it may take hundreds of years to completely recover!”

When it came to matters involving the soul, Xu Mu dared not to interfere casually and could only let it be, occasionally checking on it.

After ensuring that MingLing Chun was alright, Xu Mu visited the space where Xu Tianpu was located. Xu Tianpu, like MingLing Chun, was also in deep sleep. However, unlike MingLing Chun, he was trying to merge his past life memories through sleep, slowly absorbing them to assume a dominant position.

Only when a problem arose, would Xu Mu wake him up, wait until he recovered mentally, and then let him try again.

Outside.

“Finally, a gap has appeared!”

Looking at the hair-thin gap on the gigantic chain, Xu Mu’s heart was filled with excitement.

Although small, the gap represented an immense step forward for him because it indicated that there was hope for breaking the chain.

“Even if the gap is small, as long as I persevere, there will be a day when it’s finally severed!”

He feared that the chain would heal faster than he could cut it.

His cultivation level had not improved much. The reason he was able to cut the chain was that his physical body, with the help of the True Body of Myriad Tribulations, had further improved, finally resisting the counter shock from the chain, enabling him to launch his next attack without pause.

The surrounding golden light surged, and Xu Mu realized that the bird-headed man was not as careless as he seemed.

“I hope he doesn’t take away the bridge after crossing the river!”

The bird-headed man was extraordinarily strong. If he turned against Xu Mu after his job was done, Xu Mu truly would have no way to resist.

Feeling completely at the mercy of another’s intentions for his life, Xu Mu felt uncomfortable, yet he had no other options.

Time passed little by little, and thirty odd years went by in the wink of an eye. Xu Mu’s cultivation level remained at the Nascent Soul sixth tier without any progress. However, after hammering it out for thirty years, the hidden dangers of forcibly upgrading his cultivation level had been completely eliminated. His foundation became solid again. Unfortunately, the bird-headed man seemingly had no plans to help him further increase his cultivation level.

Xu Mu guessed that with the bird-headed man’s power, forcibly augmenting his cultivation level was not that easy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to endure this.

“Just a little more!”

The huge chain, after Xu Mu’s relentless exertion over thirty odd years, was now only connected by a small portion.

The reason it progressed so smoothly and swiftly was because of the increased strength of Xu Mu’s body. His body strength was likely already at the level of the tier twelve treasures, which enhanced the power of the Sky-splitting Halberd.

Now the only way to increase the power of the Sky-splitting Halberd was to increase his strength and speed.

But there was another even more crucial reason.

After the first gap appeared in the chain, its runes seemed to have been disconnected, and its power kept shrinking. Now, it had completely lost the ability to recover.

Now, Xu Mu was not in a rush to sever the chain. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to gain some more benefits or have the other party make a few more promises.

Unfortunately, his plan fell through.

Whether he was sneaky or complained deliberately, or even took a long break, the bird-headed man ignored him, appearing genuinely indifferent.

This made Xu Mu uncertain about what was going on in the other party’s mind.

The other party had lived for who knows how many years. He had been here for probably thousands of years, judging by the existence of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

To try and figure out such an old monster was not an easy task.

In the end, Xu Mu could only reluctantly give up, honestly work hard, and hope to gain a little sympathy.

Then one day, as Xu Mu struck with his halberd, the massive chain broke with a snap.

Snap!

The broken chain vanished into the golden light.

The next moment, everything in the world began to sway before Xu Mu’s eyes.

“I’m free! I’m finally free! Hahahaha!”

The golden light rapidly contracted and finally returned to a bird with three huge heads and golden feathers all over its body.

And on one of its feet was a broken gigantic chain.

“Could it be that the bird-headed man was this laughing monster?” Xu Mu wondered in shock.

Just as he was unsure about what to do next, the three-headed bird violently flapped its wings. The void was immediately filled with countless cracks in space, and the world seemed like a torn shabby cloth.

“Senior, I…”

Before Xu Mu could finish, a strong suction force emerged from the shattered space around him, drawing him directly in.

As for the three-headed bird, it seemed to have entirely forgotten him and was just excitedly screaming there.

“I’m free! I’m free!”

The golden light around it was blazing as if it were showing off to the world.

Only after a good while did the three-headed bird calm down from its excitement.

“Huh? Where’s the human?”

The three-headed bird released its divine intent to search all around. The void was filled with chaotic space currents. The figure of Xu Mu had disappeared who knew where.

“That can’t be blamed on me. You were just too weak! It’s just a pity about that weapon!”

The disappearance of Xu Mu didn’t concern the three-headed bird. It flapped its wings, instantly tearing a massive space crack, entered it, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

And with its departure, the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, which had existed for an unknown number of years, began to completely collapse, bit by bit.

…

“That damn bird! It’s not abiding by the warrior’s code!”

Xu Mu didn’t know how long he slept for, but he woke up with a splitting headache. The first thing he did when he regained consciousness was to curse at that damn stinking bird.

Its reckless tearing of space resulted in his being dragged into it. Then, it heedlessly released energy, causing his soul to be injured, and he then passed out in the chaotic space currents.

“The dead bird certainly doesn’t want to honor its promise! When my power surpasses yours! One day I’ll pluck off all your feathers!” Xu Mu then swore grimly in his heart.

I wonder where I am now. I just hope it’s not too miserable.

Xu Mu prayed in his heart. Just then, the voice of a little girl sounded in his ear.

“Uncle! He’s awake! He’s awake!”

Then there was a rush of footsteps, probably the little girl running out to get someone.

Xu Mu slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He found himself lying in a humble wooden hut, the air permeated with a musty smell.

Just then, a burly middle-aged man, with white hair and full of weariness, walked in with a clothed little girl.

“Where am I?”
