I am grinding experience in another world - Chapter 766 - 754: Descent
Above Golden River City.
A flash of golden light, and Chen Mu appeared beside a Bright Pearl.
The pearl was as large as a human head, emanating a gentle glow.
The light wasn’t harsh, but upon getting closer, there was a faint prickling sensation on the skin.
Chen Mu reached out to test it, his hand passing through the orb as usual, grasping nothing, as if it were an illusory phantom.
He took a deep breath, the Divine Fetus in his brow trembled, and gray-black mist emerged. Like a living creature, it tentatively wrapped around the orb before him.
Yama’s Feast!
Buzz!
Dark golden patterns suddenly appeared on the pearl’s surface, and what was once an illusory pearl immediately conveyed a tangible feel.
“There’s a door!”
Chen Mu felt a surge of joy in his heart, immediately linking with the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, the gray-black mist began to rapidly swirl around the orb.
Buzz buzz buzz…
As if a grindstone was sharpening metal, sparks flew, and the entire pearl buzzed and shook violently.
Insights of Vital Energy transforming, star shifting, and other perceptions slowly flooded into his mind.
“It’s done!”
Chen Mu couldn’t help but clench his fist and wave his hand.
He had cultivated the Netherworld Worm to transform into Ghosts, in order to enhance the Ghost Gate’s Ground Shrinking ability. But according to Tang Zhimu, the Heavenly Cycle Star Battle Forbidden could also teleport, and its power clearly surpassed that of the Ghost Gate.
“If I can unravel the mysteries of the Twenty-four Pearl, perhaps I can forcibly escape Golden River City using the power of the All Heaven Star!”
The smile on his face grew more radiant.
But in the next moment.
Roar…
A dragon’s roar filled with a sense of agony suddenly sounded, and the sky abruptly sank.
It was like an elevator suddenly plummeting, a feeling of weightlessness overcame him, and Chen Mu was uncontrollably pressed upward.
Slap!
His entire body was smacked against the invisible barrier at the top, his nose and face contorting.
Chen Mu was shocked, immediately regaining his composure.
He then discovered that the invisible barrier enveloping Golden River City was rapidly contracting, and the pitch-black waters outside the barrier were surging violently.
The entire Golden River City was plummeting swiftly!
“Is it because I moved the Twenty-four Pearl?” Chen Mu felt his heart skip a beat.
He immediately thought of the dragon’s roar just now, and as he swept with the Truth Listening Divine Power, the situation within the entire Golden River City instantly imprinted into his mind.
Tang Sect?!
…
South of Golden River City, by the Xian’an Pond, in a three-entry courtyard.
In the courtyard stood a circle of bright white Spiritual Light, like an overturned bowl, encapsulating Tang Sect cross-legged and floating in mid-air at the center of the courtyard.
At this moment, a pair of palm-length deer antlers sprouted from his forehead, his eyes had turned into vertical pupils, and they were completely golden, his hair moving as if alive in the absence of wind.
His facial skin appeared like cracked porcelain, with strands of golden blood seeping out from the cracks, dotting his clothes. His Spirit was visibly declining at a speed, his hair even beginning to gray and wither.
And the entire Golden River City seemed like an out-of-control elevator, plummeting fast with it!
A flash of golden light, Chen Mu appeared.
Seeing the vertical pupils and deer antlers, feeling the aura similar to the barrier outside Golden River City, his first thought was of the owner of the Dragon Ball at the bottom of the well.
This Tang Sect, is very likely a lackey of that Dragon Ball owner!
“So it’s you who trapped me in Golden River City!” Chen Mu’s face turned sullen.
“You hid it so well!” he couldn’t help but grit his teeth and speak.
Chen Mu never expected that the one who turned him into a scapegoat was right beside him all this time.
He had used the Seven Emotions Curse more than once to discern the emotions of the crowd, attempting to find out who was causing trouble, yet Tang Sect’s anomaly was never detected!
“Have I been found out?”
“Too late, you came too late.” Tang Sect smirked, his tone mocking.
“You should’ve stayed put like a good boy instead of running around causing chaos.” He stared at Chen Mu, his face full of resentment.
“Well now, I’m done for, but you’re not getting away either!”
“Golden River City is plummeting, the Lock Dragon Well’s sealing force is increasing, you won’t escape! Haha…”
Watching the gleeful laughter of Tang Sect, a vein on Chen Mu’s forehead throbbed.
“What, want to kill me?” Tang Sect teased, “Better get close to me first!”
Chen Mu sneered coldly.
Black-and-white divine light suddenly flew from between his brows, crashing against the lustrous Spirit Light Shield with a boom.
Yin Mistaken Yang!
Hiss…
It was like strong acid corroding, instantly creating a fist-sized hole in the bowl-shaped Spirit Light Shield.
Like it was being burned by high heat, the edges of the hole inside and out turned bright fiery red.
But just as quickly, the hole rapidly grew and was filled up, restoring itself in the blink of an eye.
“Don’t bother.” Tang Sect chuckled, “Even though I currently only have Qi Condensation Cultivation, I’ve already long mastered the True Form Realm’s Heavenly Demon Reincarnation, so you can’t break this Body Protection Aura.”
Chen Mu remained expressionless, continuously channeling Mana.
Activating Yin Mistaken Yang to the fullest, the black-and-white divine light enveloped his body, as he stepped toward Tang Sect.
Hiss hiss hiss…
The bowl-shaped Spirit Light seemed like solid wax, yet Chen Mu was like a red-hot iron, slowly melting a human-shaped hole into the Spirit Light Shield.
The Spirit Light continuously grew and healed, while the Yin Yang Qi relentlessly corroded.
Chen Mu seemed to be trudging through a quagmire, but he steadily approached the center of the light.
Tang Sect’s eyelids twitched.
The Body Protection Aura buzzed and trembled, its power enhanced. But Chen Mu only paused for a moment before continuing to advance at a steady pace toward the center.
Tang Sect continuously channeled Mana, yet he could only watch helplessly as Chen Mu reached within a meter of his face.
“Ah, I really underestimated you.” Tang Sect shrugged, utterly unconcerned.
“Stop now!” Chen Mu frowned and reprimanded.
“I can’t stop at all.”
“Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“Death it is, but you’ll be buried with me.” Tang Sect had a defiant look on his face.
“And don’t hope to use that Yin Ghost Secret Technique to escape.”
“Guess what, did I mess with those over twenty thousand Silver-scaled Fish?” he snickered.
Chen Mu’s heart sank.
The Ghost Gate was his reliance to escape Golden River City, and nurturing the Netherworld Worm with the Silver-scaled Fish was crucial to it. If something went wrong with the Silver-scaled Fish…
You truly deserve to die!
The surrounding Yin Yang Qi surged, and Chen Mu instantly stood in front of Tang Sect.
He raised a hand and slapped Tang Sect hard on the forehead.
Then…
Then several dark chains-like patterns drilled out from beneath his hand, quickly binding Tang Sect from head to toe securely.
Boom!
The entire Golden River City suddenly shuddered, and Chen Mu felt his body sink due to inertia.
The rapid plummet of Golden River City suddenly halted.
At the same time, the barrier in the distance that had been continuously contracting came to a stop several tens of meters away from the city walls.
Tang Sect’s smile disappeared instantly.
He had cast the Dismantling Technique to damage his soul, accelerating Golden River City’s collapse. But now it was interrupted. All his effort, was it all for nothing?!
“What on earth have you done?!” he yelled in frustration.
“Don’t you recognize it?”
“Do you remember the chains binding the Dragon Ball at the bottom of the well?” Now it was Chen Mu’s turn to laugh.
“What, did you think I’d kill you with one slap?”
“If I really killed you, that would be truly sealing off my escape.” He shot a sidelong glance at Tang Sect.
“I came right up to you, yet you didn’t resist at all, only accelerating your own soul’s dissipation.”
“And as your Spirit declines faster, Golden River City deteriorates faster, you didn’t think I could see past my anger, did you?”
Chen Mu didn’t know how to interrupt Tang Sect’s secret technique, but the Lock Spirit Spell was best at sealing Spiritual Deities. It could imprison the Dragon Ball, so binding Tang Sect’s soul from leaking was easy.
Seeing the changes in Golden River City, Chen Mu knew he had made the right move.
He snorted coldly, more chain patterns extending from his palm.
Tang Sect, who was about to start cursing, was instantly silenced.
He could only glare at Chen Mu with wide eyes, full of fury but unable to speak.
