Chapter 349: Chapter 318 Mysterious Person_1

When the Black YuanYing in the God Refining Tripod saw the white fox puppet released by Xu Mu, a trace of surprise appeared in his gaze.

The technology behind the manufacturing of the white fox puppet is similar to his Corpse Puppet Skill, but has some differences as well. He had studied Corpse Puppet Skill for many years and had an understanding of a variety of puppetry schools in the world, but the white fox puppet released by Xu Mu gave him a sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

It’s as if it bore traces of many puppets he had seen before, but did not completely correspond with any of the schools of puppetry known to him.

Could this fellow have independently researched his own unique puppetry technique?

“This is something I stumbled upon.” Xu Mu said indifferently.

Naturally, he wouldn’t disclose the origins of the white fox puppet to the other party, simply glossing over the subject.

The Black YuanYing obviously also detected this perfunctory attitude. He, being astute, did not foolishly continue probing.

“Are you really planning to level the entire island with this method? What if you destroy the spirit vein and cause the Chi of Creation to lose its effect?” asked the Black YuanYing, watching as Xu Mu relentlessly attacked with the white fox puppet.

“Losing its effect is better than risking our lives entering it!” Xu Mu replied indifferently.

After his clone was trapped, he immediately ordered it to attack its surroundings and tried various methods to escape. However, it was as if his clone was sealed within a standalone space, unable to escape no matter what he tried.

Even though his clone wasn’t as powerful as his main body, it certainly wasn’t weak. Yet, it was easily trapped now, without any means of escape, demonstrating how dangerous this island was. It was also why he wasn’t willing to take risks.

“After experiencing so many risks along the way, you’re finally here, on the verge of victory. Is it suitable to act so recklessly now?” asked the Black YuanYing, puzzled.

If they continue attacking like this, not only will the Chi of Creation be destroyed, but the entire island might be destroyed as well.

Is this guy really planning to destroy the Chi of Creation?

Forget it, let it be destroyed! Without the Chi of Creation, his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage will be a thousand times more difficult; this would be to my advantage!

The Black YuanYing comforted himself in his mind.

Without answering his confusion, Xu Mu ordered the white fox puppet to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of the world, condense a blue crystallization beam, and launch attacks against the island.

Crack! Crack!

Under the cover of the blue light column, numerous precious spiritual medicines on the island were all turned into blue crystals.

In the hazy fog, patches of blue revealed a peculiar beauty.

But no one was in the mood to appreciate it at this moment.

The attack continued for a quarter of an hour, turning at least several dozen li of the island into a blue crystal.

Despite the rampant assault, the island was quiet and his clone hadn’t been able to escape.

While constantly changing locations, Xu Mu continued to launch attacks without stopping.

Hum!

At that moment, the surroundings of his clone changed and it again appeared on the island, only the Chi of Creation was nowhere to be seen.

Just when Xu Mu wanted to control his clone to leave, he got suppressed by a tremendous force, immobilising it.

“Stop your attacks now, or don’t blame us for being impolite. ”

A vague voice emanated from the center of the island, and the fog over the island churned, gathering together like a living entity to form more than a dozen indistinct silhouettes. Among th em, three were particularly powerful, as their processes had clearly reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

With fog shrouding their bodies, Xu Mu was reluctant to rashly examine them with his Divine Intent, as he could not discern whether they were male or female, or their specific appearance.

“There are actually three at the Nascent Soul Stage. Thank goodness I didn’t recklessly enter; that would have been troublesome.”

Xu Mu was secretly relieved.

He had already recognized the gap between himself and the Nascent Soul Stage.

Although the Virtualization Skill is exquisite, the island belongs to others; if he fell into their trap, he would die as well.

“Fellow Daoist, do you know who they are?” Xu Mu asked.

“If you can’t sense them from the outside, how could I sense them from inside the ding!” The Black YuanYing complained angrily: “Besides, these people clearly don’t want us to know their identities, deliberately hiding! But they can’t fake being at the Nascent Soul Stage, this is a big trouble!”

The Black YuanYing expressed his worries.

If Xu Mu couldn’t enter the Chi of Creation, he certainly wouldn’t let him leave the God Refining Tripod.

Facing such a situation, Xu Mu’s expression did not change much.

He first commanded the white fox puppet to halt its attack temporarily and turned his body into a shadow as a precautionary measure.

“Whoever you are, leave here immediately.”

A ghostly voice echoed again but it was unclear who was speaking.

“As long as you allow me to use the Chi of Creation once, I will definitely leave immediately.” Xu Mu replied with a Secret Technique.

As he replied, he constantly shifted his position, never staying in one place for more than a moment.

The moment he disappeared, a mysterious energy covered the area where he’d been, yielding no results.

“I don’t know what ‘Chi of Creation’ you’re talking about, this is our residence, no outsider is allowed near.”

The voice from the island was very firm. The adversaries, still hidden in the shadows, continued to search for Xu Mu’s location.

The two parties were like playing a game of hide and seek in the fog.

Leveraging the Virtualization Skill, the enemy hidden in the dark was unable to locate Xu Mu’s exact position.

“If you refuse to let me use it, then I have no choice but to continue my attack.”

Xu Mu was equally firm, he could not leave empty-handed.

“So, you don’t care about the safety of your companion anymore?”

Just as he spoke, the pressure on the clone became stronger, indicating that it could die at any moment.

However, this move didn’t seem to deter Xu Mu.

Compared to losing a clone, accessing the Chi of Creation was clearly more important.

“I’m only using it once, why must we be mutually destructive?” Xu Mu responded.

“Mutually destructive? You think you’re worthy?”

The voice from the island sounded disdainful.

Seeing that Xu Mu was unwilling to back down, the mysterious figures immediately flew out from the island, blocking all directions in an attempt to corner Xu Mu.

“So be it, then I won’t be polite.”

Xu Mu didn’t hesitate either. He immediately distanced himself and once again released the white fox puppet, launching the crystallization beam at the ocean surface.

The destructive power of the crystallization beam was terrifying, it directly solidified the turbulent sea water into a large amount of blue crystal, attempting to turn the island into a solitary one.

“There he is!”

Sensing the presence of the white fox puppet, a group of people immediately swooped in.

Xu Mu immediately withdrew the white fox puppet and disappeared from sight.

For a while, it was like a cat-and-mouse game, the two sides were in a deadlock, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

Like ants moving house, Xu Mu turned the surrounding sea area into a crystalline state. He then dived into the water and launched attacks from the seabed, putting pressure on the hidden enemies.

Although it appeared that there was no major impact on the island after such an attack, it greatly affected the spiritual vein of the island. If the attack continues, it could potentially cause permanent damage.

“If you don’t stop now, our Shen Clan will never let you off!”
