Chapter 534: Chapter 488 New Sect_1

That day, Xu Mu finally reached the pinnacle of the initial stage of Divinity Transformation and managed to break through the spatial cracks. He utilized the space inside the God Refining Tripod to transport all his family members and headed into a space filled with even more Spiritual Energy. The power of the Sky-splitting Halberd made him immune to the damage from the spatial turbulence.

Soon he sensed a new space. This area was filled with immense Spiritual Energy and even had a small spatial storm. Xu Mu was thrilled and quickly found a safe spot near the storm using the Sky-splitting Halberd. He then opened the God Refining Tripod. Instantly, a strong sucking force pulled all his family members into this space.

He swiftly summoned the Sky-splitting Halberd and charged towards the spatial storm.

This spatial storm was a manifestation of the natural energy forces of this mini-world. If he could harness it, he could control this world, ensuring the safety of his family.

With a firm determination to win, Xu Mu headed towards the spatial storm.

There was no suspense in this battle. Powerful as the spatial storm was, it stood no chance against a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

In no time, Xu Mu shattered the spatial storm with his Sky-splitting Halberd. Suddenly, the natural energies of the mini-world converged and rushed into his body.

With the influx of these forces, Xu Mu felt his cultivation skyrocket and he instantly advanced to the middle stage of Divinity Transformation.

He knew that this was a power formed by the convergence of the natural energies of the small world. Once his cultivation improved further, he would need to find a larger world.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of his family. He knew they were safe in this space. Although he was a bit worried, this place was after all a treasured land abundant with spiritual energy, and cultivating here would undoubtedly have ample benefits.

Dismissing further thoughts, he sat with crossed legs and began to assimilate the obtained natural energies.

As he cultivated, the surrounding natural forces continuously converged and infused into his body.

After a long while, he suddenly felt a weight being lifted from his body and instantly broke through to the late stage of Divinity Transformation.

He was ecstatic at that moment. He never thought that he could advance to the late stage of Divinity Transformation so unexpectedly. This was indeed a pleasant surprise for him.

However, he did not stop there but continued to comprehend the surrounding natural forces.

Just then, he heard a loud voice next to him: “Hey! Kid, are you slacking off?”

Hearing this, Xu Mu immediately snapped out of his cultivation trance and looked forth.

He saw an old man standing in front of him who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a hat, giving him a somewhat mysterious appearance.

Xu Mu was startled, wondering when the old man had appeared. He was surprised that he hadn’t sensed him.

However, he politely bowed and said, “Senior, who are you? How come I have never seen you before?”

The old man chuckled and responded, “Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is, what can you offer me?”

Xu Mu frowned. He could tell this old man was unusual, but did not know his origins, so he replied, “Senior, I am just a junior cultivator. I don’t have anything that would be of interest to you.”

The old man chuckled again and retorted, “Then return to your world right now, or don’t blame me for not being polite.”

Xu Mu was furious. He had spoken politely, but this man acted so unreasonably. He coldly retorted, “This space is mine. You should be the one to leave.”

The old man’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected this boy to be so audacious, actually daring to ask him to leave.

He coldly replied, “Well, since you’re seeking death, I won’t hold back.”

And with that, a powerful momentum suddenly pressed upon Xu Mu.

Xu Mu felt as if a huge mountain was pressing against his body, making it impossible for him to move.

It was then that he regretted his earlier impulsiveness. He hadn’t expected the old man to be so formidable.

However, he refused to give in. He gritted his teeth and called upon his cultivation to fight back.

Despite the vast difference between his cultivation and the old man’s, he managed to hold off the initial onslaught in this critical situation.

But the old man didn’t seem to intend to back off, instead, he intensified his attack.

Xu Mu felt as if he were being torn apart, causing him intense agony.

However, just as he was about to give up, the Sky-splitting Halberd suddenly appeared in his hand, his cultivation whirled rapidly, and a powerful force was released from the halberd. Coupled with his own cultivation, he launched an attack at the old man.

Upon seeing this, the old man’s expression changed. He had not expected Xu Mu to withstand his attack, let alone counterattack.

A hint of fear crept into his heart, but was quickly replaced by a strong will to fight.

He had lived for many years and faced numerous opponents, naturally, he would not retreat because of this setback.

With that, he fiercely unleashed his own cultivation, colliding it with the force Xu Mu had hurled at him.
