Chapter 720 -404 Repel_2

Bang!!!

The surging thick roots directly struck the Earth Fiend Axe controlled by Yan Hong and his people. After the collision, the roots seemed less robust than the Earth Fiend Axe and immediately shattered, but then a second and a third root stretched forth continuously.

The wildly sweeping Xunmu roots eventually submerged the gigantic Earth Fiend Axe within them, grinding it to pieces.

Elsewhere.

The extending Xunmu roots resembled living Flood Dragons, violently assaulting Yan Hong and his party, determined to grind everyone to dust. The ferocity of this scene shocked the crowd, who hadn’t expected the Spiritual Ancestor to have such a means to forcefully utilize the Xunmu roots for his own purposes!

However, each of them was a Grandmaster, no ordinary figures. After a brief moment of shock, they were nowhere near panicking. Each of them exerted their full strength to mobilize their Vigorous Inner Breath, summoning the power of Earth Fiend to converge at one point to resist the attacking Xunmu roots from all directions. They knew that although the Spiritual Ancestor was terrifying, there still was Chen Mu facing him directly.

As expected.

After the surging Xunmu roots collided and writhed against their summoned Earth Fiend forces for several moments, a deafening roar exploded in the center of the arena, accompanied by a surging powerful force. That was Qiankun!

All the nearby Xunmu roots froze at that moment, then burst into pieces, shattering into chunks that flew in all directions, revealing once again the scene in the center of the battlefield.

There,

Chen Mu still stood firm, one hand reaching for the heavens and the other covering the earth, as if he was the sole entity between heaven and earth.

In front of Chen Mu, the face of Ling Huan had turned notably pale, clearly showing that the technique he had just used was not without its cost. It was a desperate effort that had proved ineffective.

“If that’s all you have, then stay behind.”

Chen Mu calmly observed Ling Huan.

Ling Huan’s capabilities were limited to this extent. If he were restrained and unable to break free, with Yan Hong and the others disturbing from the side, this prolonged battle would surely result in his demise!

Ling Huan’s complexion was slightly pale, but his expression remained mostly unchanged, “You’re the only one who has threatened me since a millennium invasion of this realm, but relying on some ants to hold me down is excessively arrogant.”

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Ling Huan struck at Chen Mu again.

Chen Mu’s expression remained unchanged, and with a wave of his hand, the Void once again fractured.

However, after this strike, Ling Huan made no further moves, but suddenly stepped down, and the shattered Xunmu roots suddenly extended further, emerging directly from under his feet and swallowing him whole!

“Hmm?”

A flash of light passed in Chen Mu’s eyes. His figure shifted instantly, arriving in front of the Xunmu roots, and with a palm strike, he shattered the entire extending segment of Xunmu roots into countless wood chips.

But Ling Huan’s figure was no longer seen among those wood chips.

Chen Mu looked down at the wood chips on the ground, lost in thought for a moment.

He hadn’t expected to truly capture this Spiritual Ancestor of the Spirit People Race, considering the adversary had survived for thousands of years, was a revered Celestial Human, and even if constrained, his realm was still much higher than Chen Mu’s. His current strength was at best comparable to his opponent’s, and as for the prowess of Yan Hong and the others, it indeed wasn’t notable.

The only unexpected aspect was Ling Huan’s method of escape. He had assumed that some secret technique or a burst of power would be used to forcefully break out, yet it turned out to be a ability to merged with the Xunmu, allowing him to enter the Xunmu roots and escape through them.

Such ability was indeed troublesome.

After all, this was the Xunmu Cave Heaven. The Xunmu that supported the heavens and earth was immense, and its roots and canopy spread over tens of thousands of miles, covering the entire Cave Heaven World.

If Ling Huan could merge into the Xunmu at any time and escape at will with the help of the Xunmu’s power, then this mobility far exceeded Chen Mu’s at present. The previously thought weakness due to a frail physique leading to reduced mobility also completely vanished.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

Ruling over a Cave Heaven World for thousands of years, mastering the Third Step of Artistic Conception, and reaching the Celestial Human Realm, how could he possibly have any weaknesses? Even if there truly were any, he surely had various methods to compensate for them.

After shaking his head, Chen Mu no longer looked at the wood chips scattered on the ground, but turned his head towards Yan Hong and the others nearby.

The Grandmasters who had not been killed by Ling Huan numbered three, and another had just arrived, still unclear about the situation, watching the scene with a nervous and perplexed expression.

“…Thank you, Brother Mu, for the rescue. I did not expect the Spiritual Ancestor to have targeted us so soon; we underestimated the risks, thinking that being on the periphery was safe and that we could take the opportunity to collect more Xunmu Spirit Liquid.”

By now, Yan Hong had regained his composure, his gaze towards Chen Mu was complex and somewhat unusual.

“This was also beyond my expectations. I planned to possibly ally with you to see if we could capture the Spiritual Ancestor, but didn’t expect him to make the first move, and it seems many have been lost.”

Chen Mu spoke to Yan Hong.

He hadn’t anticipated so many people entering the Xunmu Cave Heaven, and the Spiritual Ancestor being so precise in targeting Yan Hong and his group. Indeed, he’d intended to slightly collaborate with Yan Hong and his team against the Spiritual Ancestor.

However, his consideration wasn’t for now, but to wait until he had gathered enough Xunmu Spirit Liquid to further temper his Martial Body to the Perfection Realm, then unify with Yan Hong’s complete team.
