Chapter 391: Chapter 360: Piercing the Sky_1
Upon understanding the contract, Xu Mu’s face involuntarily turned ashen.
This was not a contract; this was clearly slavery!
What audacity!
Although Xu Mu did not believe that a mere contract could bind him, the mysterious power of the other party might influence him. Even Xu Tiantian, who had reached the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, had been silently manipulated by the other party.
“And what if I don’t agree?” Xu Mu said coldly.
He lifted his gaze to the void, his eyes seeming to penetrate the endless fog, reaching the source of the mystery.
“If you don’t agree, then I will have to make the woman’s soul scatter to the winds!”
The mysterious person laughed triumphantly, “It’s just a sacrifice of faith, is it too much to ask? Are you so bent on it that you would sacrifice your own daughter’s life?”
“How dare you threaten me!”
Xu Mu’s gaze was as cold as frost.
“It’s not me threatening you. It’s you seeking death. You dared to destroy this deity’s Divine Kingdom!” The mysterious person sneered confidently, “Now you only have two choices, either sign this contract or watch your daughter die in front of your eyes. Choose fast, this deity’s patience is limited!”
“Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?” Xu Mu said coldly.
Though the other’s power was strange, it was essentially weaker than his. Otherwise, this thread of his consciousness would have already been extinguished.
“Kill me?! Ha, ha!” The mysterious person said disdainfully, “If you have the guts, then do it! Even though this deity can’t harm you, you attempting to hurt this deity is a fool’s dream!”
His cultivation method was different from that of humans. Although Xu Mu’s power greatly exceeded his, without a specific secret skill, it would be impossible to handle him.
Moreover, he still held Xu Tiantian as an ace up his sleeve. Under the fear of hurting his daughter, Xu Mu dared not act recklessly.
“A fool’s dream?”
Xu Mu repeated in a mutter, then suddenly burst into laughter.
“Then let me show you who’s the one living in a fool’s dream!”
Before his words ended, an immense bronze illusion of a halberd, as if piercing through the endless void, suddenly appeared in this space.
The halberd stirred, and the entire mysterious space began to crumble layer by layer.
“Impossible! Impossible! How could a Magic Artifact attack my Divine Kingdom!”
The mysterious man’s voice was full of shock and disbelief.
The situation before his eyes was something he had never dreamed of.
However unwilling he was to believe it, it didn’t change the facts. Connected to the life and death of the Divine Kingdom, he immediately felt a crisis of life and death.
“Stop! Or I will kill your daughter!”
The mysterious man roared in anger.
At the moment when the space shattered, Xu Mu finally saw who was hiding behind the scene.
It was a person who looked just like Xu Tiantian and was enveloped in holy aura. However, Xu Mu could feel that other than their identical appearance, there were no similarities between the two.
Not only that, the “Xu Tiantian” in front of him, besides looking like a human, had a completely different internal structure, and was a completely different form of life.
Xu Mu could not sense any flesh and blood aura in him, he only felt various confusing thoughts, like prayers and pleas.
Such a feeling?
It seems that my guess was correct. The person before my eyes is an ancient god who has just awakened!
As for the current space, it should be made up of the power of incense, which is the Divine Kingdom where gods dwell. Only other gods or the thoughts of believers could enter it.
Xu Mu is not a novice. Although he has never seen an ancient god before, he has learned a lot about them from various books and materials.
The cultivation system of ancient gods is based on faith, which is upgraded via the power of the incense offered by people.
This cultivation system progresses rapidly, but it also has many limitations. In essence, they are dependent on the power of incense, influenced by the thoughts of all living beings. They can never get rid of this and naturally cannot become immortal.
Perhaps it was for this reason that people gradually gave up on the path of incense. Later, there were battles between gods and cultivators, leading to the complete disappearance of the incense path in the dust of history.
Because too much time had passed, a lot of information had been lost. Xu Mu was not sure whether this theory was correct, but one thing was certain: the incense path had been eliminated. The gods, who had lost the support of incense, should have all fallen.
But now, one suddenly appeared, which made him very curious and wanted to know the other party’s origins.
However, curiosity aside, safety comes first.
Xu Mu ignored “Xu Tiantian’s” yelling and controlled his body to attack again.
The reason he knew the Sky-splitting Halberd could probably attack the opponent’s Divine Kingdom was simple.
No matter whether it is the path of incense or the path of Nascent Soul cultivation, they ultimately concur to the path of immortality. The Sky-splitting Halberd is an immortal weapon that can affect even space; how could a tiny Divine Kingdom possibly resist it?
“Stop! No!”
“Xu Tiantian” kept yelling in a rage, but she was powerless to prevent it. In the face of the power emitted by the Sky-splitting Halberd, she was as helpless as a rootless duckweed.
“Stop! I agree to release your daughter! Otherwise, I really… Ah!”
The Divine Kingdom finally couldn’t hold itself together. The entire world was pierced directly by the Sky-splitting Halberd, and the figure of “Xu Tiantian” disintegrated like smoke.
Xu Mu, who saw all this, sneered at the corner of his mouth. He had no intention of stopping; the Sky-splitting Halberd continued to attack relentlessly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Grinding bones into dust, that was Xu Mu’s specialty. How could he so easily let go?
After everything was destroyed, Xu Mu didn’t leave. He still stood in the same place, gazing at the chaotic void of shattered space.
After an unknown period, an invisible power gathered. The originally shattered Divine Kingdom was once again assembled together.
“Why? Why? Did you know Divine Kingdom can be restored?”
“Xu Tiantian” glared resentfully at Xu Mu, realizing she might be in genuine danger.
“I didn’t know! I’m just cautious!” Xu Mu said with a faint smile.
He was indeed just cautious. For such matters, if you don’t get to the root of the problem, it will grow back when the spring breeze blows. He must get rid of it completely, it was only then he could rest assured.
Boom!
The Sky-splitting Halberd attacked again, instantly shattering the entire world once more. Compared to the Divine Kingdom at first, the freshly reconstructed Divine Kingdom was way weaker. After a few hits from the Sky-splitting Halberd, it immediately disintegrated.
What Xu Mu didn’t expect was that after a while, the destroyed heaven and earth were restored again.
“You can’t kill me. As long as my believers are still around, I can resurrect infinitely.”
“Xu Tiantian” laughed maniacally, “If you have the guts, kill all those cultivators, and even your daughter! Hahahaha!”
Facing “Xu Tiantian’s” threat, Xu Mu’s expression remained unchanged, his face still wearing a smile.
“Don’t try to fool me! There is no monster in this world that cannot be killed! If I can’t kill once, then twice, twice not enough, then ten times! ten times not enough, then one hundred times, one thousand times, ten thousand times! I would like to see how many times you can actually resurrect!”
“You…”
Fear finally appeared in the eyes of the ancient god.
Xu Mu wouldn’t give him any chances, and had no mercy. If he resurrects once, he would be killed once.
