Chapter 331: Mystic Turtle's Tail Swipe
Chapter 331: Mystic Turtle's Tail Swipe
Why not give it a try?
Chen Mu stared at the swiftly approaching Mystic Turtle, his heart brimming with a powerful will.
No martial artist could resist the allure of the pinnacle of the Martial Way, and none could ignore the summit of martial prowess. Yet, the vast majority of martial artists lacked the qualifications to reach such heights, let alone catch a glimpse of it.
Chen Mu, having endured countless hardships and toiled endlessly, had finally arrived at this point, reaching a level where he could glimpse the summit of the Martial Way.
Mystic Turtle.
A true peer to those in the Blood Replacement Realm.
Whether by chance or coincidence, this Mystic Turtle was not in the vast rivers and seas but in the sky dome, unable to fly, with a clouded mind and weak aura, it had ended up before him.
Regardless of whether he could truly contend with a Heavenly Demon like this, at this moment, the sight before him stirred his Martial Will, surging like a mighty tide, impossible to suppress.
One move.
Just one move.
Let him witness the power of that realm!
"Senior Sister Murong, move back a bit."
As Chen Mu advanced towards the Mystic Turtle, he didn't forget to remind Murong Yan, "Even though the Mystic Turtle is currently weak and far from its peak condition, and the environment is unfavorable, even if I've only reached the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm and haven't touched upon Blood Replacement, the aftermath of a full-power exchange at this height could be immense. Murong Yan, even at a distance of a hundred zhang, might still be affected."
Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, Murong Yan was momentarily stunned, but she had already kept her distance from the Mystic Turtle. Without hesitation, she maneuvered the Heavenly Domain within a breath and retreated two hundred zhang away, then turned to look back.
Although it seemed complex, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
From Chen Mu's pause and reminder to Murong Yan to back off, to the Mystic Turtle's approach, it was a matter of a single breath. The massive creature, several dozen zhang tall, like a small mountain, advanced towards him, bringing an unprecedented sense of oppression. It seemed to carry the vast sea of clouds, with waves upon waves, as if bringing a tsunami!
However, facing this nearly suffocating oppression, Chen Mu's eyes showed no fear. Deep within his pupils, a flame seemed to burn, fueled by unwavering faith and will.
With his left hand reaching towards the sky and his right towards the earth, his movements appeared slow, but in an instant, his hands came together in front of him, forming the initial seal of the Heaven-Earth Seal.
Buzz!
The vast power of heaven and earth surged, driven by his Heaven-Earth Will.
Immense Essence Aura swelled, manipulated by his Heaven-Earth Body.
The two forces merged seamlessly, condensing into a dazzling light, as if containing the essence of the world's evolution, encompassing all the myriad things of heaven and earth. With Chen Mu's move, they struck the Mystic Turtle's front!
Heaven-Earth Seal!
This move lacked grandeur or overwhelming pressure, but all its power was concentrated on the fingertip, the culmination of his martial arts training.
This was Chen Mu's first challenge to the pinnacle of the Martial Way, using his Heaven-Earth Body and Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.
"Roar..."
At this moment, facing Chen Mu's strike, even the frenzied Mystic Turtle finally reacted, its focus shifting from Murong Yan to Chen Mu!
In its massive, bell-like demonic eyes, bloodshot with threads, a hint of seriousness appeared, as if Chen Mu's strike was not something it could ignore, even with its Heavenly Demon body.
Boom!
The rolling sea of clouds surged, and the immense demonic power was like a tsunami.
The Mystic Turtle countered Chen Mu's Heaven-Earth Seal with a tail swipe. Its long tail, like a dragon's, was incredibly agile compared to its massive, cumbersome body. It lashed out from behind, almost instantly.
This seemingly simple tail swipe contained a vast power that left one in awe. The demonic energy it stirred up created a fierce wind, causing the boundless dark clouds to churn and split, nearly a thousand meters apart, leaving a visible crack as if the sky dome had been torn in two!
Finally, Chen Mu's Heaven-Earth Seal and the Mystic Turtle's tail swipe collided. For an instant, the rolling clouds froze.
Then, the terrifying Essence Aura and demonic power intertwined, colliding and shattering at their fingertips, creating streaks of blood-red and black lightning. The vast cloud layer, centered on their point of impact, rippled like stars falling into the sea, creating thousand-zhang waves that spread in all directions.
"Ugh..."
Even Murong Yan, a renowned expert on the Wind and Cloud Rankings, felt the aftermath of the clash even at a distance of two hundred zhang, as if the power of heaven and earth was surging like a tide, tearing at her Heavenly Domain. Despite the sufficient distance, she managed to withstand the impact, but her eyes, fixed on the center of the cloud sea, were filled with awe, and her heart was like a turbulent sea, unable to calm.
Chen Mu's Heaven-Earth Seal and the Mystic Turtle's tail swipe had clashed, and the aftermath rippled through the air. The Essence Aura and the Mystic Turtle's demonic power intertwined, creating a chaotic display.
As the battle unfolded, Chen Mu's thoughts turned to the Mystic Turtle's vulnerable underbelly. With a swift movement, he dove beneath the creature, aiming for its soft belly.
"Roar!" The Mystic Turtle, sensing Chen Mu's intention, thrashed wildly, its tail lashing out in all directions.
Chen Mu, undeterred, seized the opportunity. With a precise strike, he landed a blow on the Mystic Turtle's belly, a weak point even for its massive body.
The Mystic Turtle, feeling the impact, roared in pain. Its body, once frenzied, calmed momentarily, its attention fixed on Chen Mu.
Chen Mu, seizing the moment, unleashed a barrage of strikes, targeting the Mystic Turtle's weak points. With each hit, the Mystic Turtle's roars grew louder, its body writhing in agony.
The battle raged on, Chen Mu's strikes becoming more precise, his Martial Will surging. The Mystic Turtle, despite its size, struggled to escape Chen Mu's relentless assault.
Finally, Chen Mu, with a final, powerful blow, struck the Mystic Turtle's most vulnerable spot. The impact was immense, sending shockwaves through the air, and the Mystic Turtle, overwhelmed, slumped to the ground, defeated.
Chen Mu, standing over the defeated Mystic Turtle, felt a surge of satisfaction. He had challenged a Heavenly Demon and emerged victorious, his Martial Way reaching new heights.
As the battle's aftermath settled, Chen Mu's thoughts turned to his next challenge. With a newfound confidence, he set his sights on the Wind and Cloud Rankings, determined to ascend to greater heights.
The vast sky was shrouded in mist.
Demonic energy surged chaotically.
Even with her abilities, she couldn't see what was happening within, nor could she sense the specific situation.
Swish!
Mu Ranyan only knew that the aftershock's turmoil didn't last long. In less than a few breaths, a figure emerged from the frenzied, turbulent sea of clouds, taking a step to land beside her.
"Let's go."
The person who emerged from the mist was Chen Mu. His figure showed no changes, his clothes had no signs of tearing, and his expression was extremely calm. After landing, he spoke to Mu Ranyan.
Mu Ranyan was still dazed, her eyes shimmering like the waves of the sea, unable to calm down. But soon, she heard the roar of the Mystic Turtle from the cloud sea behind her.
"Roar!!!"
This sound seemed even angrier and more frenzied than before, finally jolting her back to her senses. Without time to think, she summoned her Heavenly Domain and continued flying forward, chasing after Chen Mu.
Just as she caught up with Chen Mu, the vast dark clouds behind them suddenly split apart, and the massive Mystic Turtle burst out once more, pursuing them in the direction they were heading. This time, its gaze was not only fixed on Mu Ranyan but also on Chen Mu, its enormous demonic eyes filled with bloodshot lines.
However, no matter how angry and roaring the turtle was, Chen Mu and Mu Ranyan maintained their flight ahead, keeping a distance of over two hundred zhang between them.
Mu Ranyan felt the surging demonic aura from the Mystic Turtle behind her, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chen Mu. Her eyes shimmered with countless ripples, and countless questions arose in her mind, but she didn't know which one to ask.
In the 1619 book, bar, and look, there is no mistake!
Just now,
Did Chen Mu clash with the Mystic Turtle? Even though she witnessed it with her own eyes, upon reflection, it still seemed incredible. That was the Celestial Demon Mystic Turtle, a Ninth-Rank demonic creature, an existence beyond the Blood Replacement Realm. Even after being weakened by a century of captivity by the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was still extraordinary. Chen Mu, being among the top three on the Wind and Cloud Rankings, should still have had a hard time even coming close to it!
To withstand an attack from over two hundred zhang away was understandable, but to clash head-on at such close range... Wasn't that something only possible in the Blood Replacement Realm?
Chen Mu? Blood Replacement?
These were clearly two unrelated terms.
Mu Ranyan looked at Chen Mu, seeing him maintain a calm expression without saying a word, so she finally couldn't help but ask:
"Chen Shidi, are you...are you okay?"
"It's nothing serious."
Hearing Mu Ranyan's words, Chen Mu seemed to snap out of it slightly. He glanced at Mu Ranyan and responded before raising his right hand and waving it towards her.
Mu Ranyan looked at Chen Mu's hand, and her gaze momentarily froze. On his fist, there was a continuous bloodstain, a tear not too deep or shallow, almost revealing the jade-colored bone beneath. However, no blood flowed from the wound, and it was visibly healing and mending at a speed perceivable to the naked eye.
"..."
She first determined that the injury wasn't serious and would heal in a short time, but her heart was filled with awe.
The Mystic Turtle's tail swung.
Mu Ranyan had witnessed the entire scene. Chen Mu had clashed with the Mystic Turtle, enduring the terrifying attack of its swinging tail, yet he only suffered a shallow tear on his fist.
That previous attack's aftershock had torn through over a hundred zhang of cloud sea. If she had been closer, even without direct contact with the Mystic Turtle's tail, the mere impact of the demonic energy's aftershock would likely have torn her Heavenly Domain apart, and she herself might have been split in half at the waist! Even with Chen Mu's mastery of the Heaven and Earth Arts and his exceptional skills, to clash head-on with the Mystic Turtle like that was definitely beyond the capabilities of the Six Viscera Realm. Perhaps only the legendary ultimate Heaven and Earth Body, renowned for its resilience, could withstand such an attack!
"Heaven and Earth Body?"
Mu Ranyan looked at Chen Mu, and in the end, she couldn't hold back and asked this question.
"Mhm."
Chen Mu gazed at his injured right hand and sighed, "Unfortunately, I still can't match the Celestial Demon. This is its weakened state after years of captivity. If it were in its peak condition, I wouldn't be able to withstand a single attack."
Mu Ranyan: "..."
She looked at Chen Mu with a complex expression, unsure how to respond.
At this moment, Chen Mu finally exhaled, lowered his hand, and softly said to Mu Ranyan, "Please keep the matter of the Heaven and Earth Body to yourself for now, Mu Ranyan. Help me conceal it for a while longer."
The initial stage of the Heaven and Earth Body couldn't withstand the Celestial Demon, but the gap wasn't as vast as it seemed. Taking this Mystic Turtle as an example, if his Heaven and Earth Body advanced further and reached minor success, he would likely be able to truly match it. And if he could comprehend the Heaven and Earth Domain...even against the Mystic Turtle in its peak condition, he would be able to fight it, truly ascending to that level!
And the distance to that time for him wasn't far.
