Chapter 183: Ji Changkong, One Strike Destruction (II)

Boom!

Surrounded by black and red true power, Chen Chu landed like a meteor, instantly creating a crater several meters in size on the ground as his legs sank into the earth.

Once he pulled himself out, Chen Chu casually looked up at the cliff above, a smile on his face.

Under normal circumstances, not even a cultivator at the Fifth Heavenly Realm would dare to jump down from a cliff several hundred meters high like that, lest they end up either dead or severely injured from the impact.

However, Chen Chu was different. Just this morning, under the influence of his growing avatar, his Physique had also broken through to 1,000, and his physical density was now even more formidable. Coupled with the defense of his battle armor and the Dragon Elephant True Power, jumping down just now had only made his vitality boil slightly.

Swish!

Chen Chu's figure flashed, morphing into a black shadow as he disappeared into the Yunwu Mountain Range in the blink of an eye.

When night fell, Chen Chu found a small dry cave to stay in, killing and throwing out the cave's previous owner, a mutated creature over seven meters long.

Sitting cross-legged in the pitch-black cave, Chen Chu placed the Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd to the side, then focused half of his mind to sense his surroundings while cultivating.

With his current strength, he shouldn't encounter any major problems in the Yunwu Mountains, especially with an Agility exceeding 800 and a speed rivaling that of high-level cultivators specializing in agility.

However, Chen Chu was startled awake shortly after beginning his cultivation session, opening his eyes and looking outside. In his perception, a powerful mutated creature had just passed by a hundred meters away. Although its aura had been restrained, Chen Chu had still sensed the looming danger it emitted.

Soon, the miserable howl of a mutated beast echoed from afar.

Compared to daytime, the mountains at night belonged fully to the mutated creatures.

A meter-long centipede crawled through the bushes, only to be seized by sharp claws that shot out from above, as a massive creature swallowed it whole.

A fist-sized flying insect landed on a flower the size of a basin, but as it started to suck the nectar, the flower suddenly contracted, enveloping and slowly corroding the insect.

Plants were also influenced by mutations. As a result, even though their size had increased, omnivorous creatures could still grow by feeding on nutrient-rich roots, stems, or plant fruits. Most of them simply preferred to feast on the flesh of other mutated creatures, finding that more nutritious.

As a Spiky Boar fed under a tree, three forest gray wolves, each over six meters in length, slowly approached. When they got within ten meters, they let out fierce howls, bursting out from behind a large tree and pouncing fiercely on the Spiky Boar.

But just when the mutated boar began to scream in terror, it caught the attention of an even larger mutated creature...

The forest at night seemed to awaken, filled with cries and roars. The auras emitted by some mutated beasts even caused the mountains to tremble from their sheer presence.

In addition to these powerful mutated creatures, there were many more level 1 and 2 mutated beasts. These creatures would hide away during the day and come out at night to scavenge and hunt, forming a complete low-level mutated ecological chain.

High-level creatures, on the other hand, rarely fed. With their ability to absorb the surrounding ambient transcendent energy, one meal could sustain them for a long time. Special cases like the avatar, which primarily grew through consuming massive amounts of food, were an exception.

Chen Chu stood at the entrance of the cave with his halberd as he watched everything happening in the distance with a calm expression. An indistinct draconic power emanated from him, intimidating many of the mutated beasts that had initially set their sights on him and causing them to ultimately choose to retreat.

As the night passed, and the sunlight pierced through the invisible mist, the once noisy forest returned to silence.

Chen Chu set out once again, his aura concealed as he roamed the outskirts of the Yunwu Mountain Range. After crossing a smaller offshoot range, he finally found his prey.

On a hillside, a three-tailed fox over twenty meters long lazily lounged about. A faint icy blue aura radiated from its body, causing a layer of frost to cover the grass and trees within several meters of its surroundings.

It was quite strange for a mutated beast with an ice-based ability to enjoy basking in the sun. Chen Chu couldn't help but marvel for a moment at the increasingly peculiar methods of mutation. He then slowly emerged from the distant forest, the Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd in hand.

Instantly, the Three-tailed Blue Fox raised its head slightly, its soft blue fur moving without wind, and its eyes coldly and mercilessly fixed on Chen Chu as he approached.

Roar!

The mutated beast let out a low roar as it abruptly stood up.

A black and red radiance gradually emanated from Chen Chu, and a heavy and terrifying aura permeated his surroundings, causing the air to solidify and the ground to sink.

As he approached within fifty meters of it, the fox began to move its tails vigorously, and a strong blue aura burst forth from its body. The aura contained an astonishing chill, freezing the ground within a radius of ten meters wherever it passed and instantly forming a frozen landscape.

This mutated beast was demonstrating its power as a warning to Chen Chu not to approach any further.

An innate energy type!

There were many directions in which mutated beasts evolved; some becoming physically robust, while others evolved into different forms, and yet others possessed energy-controlling abilities like this one.

However, the display this beginning stage level 5 mutated beast was putting on wasn’t enough to make Chen Chu halt his steps.

Seeing Chen Chu still advancing, the fox's eyes flashed with ferocity. In an instant, a blue light shimmered from its body, and dozens of several-meter-long icicles condensed in the air.

These icicles, resembling spears of ice, shot up at terrifying supersonic speeds with piercing whistles, appearing above Chen Chu's head in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Chen Chu swept his halberd horizontally, and instantly, a circular ring of black and red light burst forth. Everywhere it passed, it shattered the incoming ice as if it were an expanding wall.

After that sweep, Chen Chu took a deep breath, and in an instant, the boundless and terrifying power within him was unleashed.

Boom!

As his physical strength fused with the Dragon Elephant True Power, a flame-like black and red aura enveloped his body and squeezed the surrounding air, causing it to burst and churn like rolling waves.

Boom!

The ground exploded.

Roar!

The instant Chen Chu disappeared, the fox's fur stood on end, and feeling the intense aura of death, its three tails emitted dazzling blue light.

Whoosh!

The substantial blue cold wind surged in all directions like air waves, freezing even the air wherever it passed and enveloping an area of several dozen meters.

Under the indiscriminate and wide-ranging attack, Chen Chu, who had closed within ten meters of the mutated blue fox at supersonic speed, couldn't evade.

Not even the black and red light swirling around him was enough. The chilling sensation penetrated his true power, formed a layer of frost as it seeped through his armor, and finally invaded his body.

Bang!

Surrounded by the black and red radiance, however, Chen Chu's dominance was unparalleled. His scorching hot vitality instantly shattered the frost on his armor, and then he soared into the sky.

Just as Chen Chu leaped high into the air, an iceberg, covering an area of over thirty meters and rising more than twenty meters high, appeared below. The fox was right in the center, still emitting the blue icy light.

However, its explosive power didn’t freeze Chen Chu; all it ended up doing was lock itself inside the iceberg.

Chen Chu was surrounded by vast swathes of black and red radiance, resembling an evil deity. The black and red light on his halberd surged as it fell with a thunderous crash.

The blue fox's eyes widened in shock.

Boom!

As the halberd wrapped in black and red light struck the iceberg, sharp black and red rays burst forth, instantly forming a grimacing and weeping ghost face.

Then, the power exploded.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire frozen world collapsed, ice blocks exploded, and the terrifying halberd, carrying horrifying power, pierced through everything like a rainbow, shattering the skull of the mutated beast inside and killing it with a single blow.

Bang!

Chen Chu's heavy figure landed on the several-meter-high ice that remained, emitting a terrifying black and red aura as he stood there with his halberd.

The Three-tailed Blue Fox’s massive body, with tails almost thirty meters long, lay quietly at his feet, blood flowing from its head and staining the surrounding ice crimson.
