Chapter 445: Chapter 413: Mysterious Will_1
“Three-headed bird?”
Xu Mu was taken aback, thinking of the three-headed True Spirit he last saw in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.
That three-headed True Spirit could possibly be the true form of a bird-man, and it was precisely because the other party had messed with the spatial continuum that he eventually ended up here.
He didn’t expect that the mysterious will of this space actually knew about the existence of the three-headed True Spirit, and judging by its tone, they seemed to exist on the same level.
“Elder!”
Xu Mu shouted loudly in his mind, hoping to catch the other party’s attention.
With the other’s help, leaving this world should be an effortless task.
Perhaps this world was even created by him.
Of course, this could carry some risks, but it’s certainly better than remaining trapped here, right?
Moreover, the other side, upon discovering him, did not kill him on the spot. This indirectly shows the possibility of communication.
Sadly, with the collapse of the primordial beast’s bloodline he used to make the connection, his spiritual will simply couldn’t be transmitted.
The difference in their levels was too vast, reminiscent of a tiny ant in dust screaming for human attention. It’s hopeless, unless the human was scrutinizing him with a microscope.
By now, that mysterious spiritual will must have moved its gaze away from him.
Xu Mu opened his eyes, rushed forward and opened a drawer. In the shocked gaze of the old man with the goat beard, he ingested something once again. However, this time he didn’t sense the existence of the mysterious will.
It seemed that the other party deliberately blocked him out.
Xu Mu, refusing to give up, continued to consume several more items, including the only two Martial Emperor level blood crystals in the armory, but to no avail.
Damn it!
Xu Mu’s face twisted in frustration, and he muttered a curse under his breath.
The old man with the goat beard trembled in fright. This was the first time he had seen Xu Mu react so strongly. The terrifying aura that casually radiated from Xu Mu left him feeling like he had plunged into a freezer.
The old man with the goat beard had once encountered a Martial Ancestor up close, but he could never reach Xu Mu’s level.
Could it be that this man was stronger than a Martial Ancestor, at the level of a National Martial Saint?
The old man with the goat beard gulped in fear.
If that were the case, the entire Da Xia Nation would be helpless against him, for even the strongest in the Da Xia Nation was only a Martial Saint, and there was only one.
Even if one Martial Saint could defeat Xu Mu, it was impossible to imprison him.
Gazing at Xu Mu’s youthful face, the old man with the goat beard dared not to imagine what the future would look like.
“Could it be that two Martial Gods are going to emerge in the same era?” The old man with the goat beard shivered at the thought.
If Xu Mu wasn’t some sort of monster, with his talent alone, his status as a legendary Martial God would be almost guaranteed.
Furthermore, there was already an entity suspected to be a Martial God that had appeared in the northern region.
The Martial God, as a legend, usually only emerges one at a time in each era. There has never been a case of two appearing at the same time.
There might be a predestined epic battle between these two.
The old man with the goat beard pondered silently.
Xu Mu was unaware of the wild thoughts that the old man with the goat beard had. When he realized that he couldn’t re-engage the other’s attention by using the primordial beast’s blood, he chose to give up.
Such an event was like a stroke of luck. The other happened to focus their gaze on him, allowing him to sense and alert the other party.
Now that the other had diverted their gaze, it would be near impossible to attract their attention again.
Taking a few deep breaths to calm his mood, Xu Mu began to assimilate the primordial beast’s blood within his body.
Since the mysterious will didn’t interfere, the primordial beast’s blood he had ingested did not collapse, ran rampant like a bunch of unruly wild horses, thoroughly absorbed within his body.
However, Xu Mu’s body was extremely sturdy, and no matter how violently they rampaged, they couldn’t cause the slightest harm.
The soul shock was nothing more than a mild tickle.
Even a desolate beast of the Martial Emperor level is no more than equivalent to the late Foundation Establishment stage. The introduction of such a level of beast essence blood into the body would only impurify his bloodline, bringing a minuscule enhancement to his power.
Therefore, Xu Mu didn’t plan to refine these beast essence blood in the traditional way.
As for dispersing them directly and using them as ordinary spirit energy to replenish qi and blood, it would be somewhat wasteful, equivalent to just consuming a few extra meals with little significance.
Xu Mu thoughtfully stroked his chin and came up with a good idea.
He first used his extraordinarily strong qi and blood to infuse his prosthetic limb, then created a network similar to meridian circulation. Afterward, he sealed the beast spirits in the desolate beast essence blood within it, referring to the sealing techniques of this world, as well as those of his previous life.
After several trials and large amounts of beast essence blood consumed, beast-shaped tattoo-like patterns started to appear on his prosthetic arm.
As he injected his qi and blood into them, these beast-shaped tattoos suddenly came to life and jumped off from his limb, transforming into ferocious desolate beasts.
“It really works!”
A hint of joy flickered across Xu Mu’s face, followed by a shake of his head in regret. While it was a good method, it felt somewhat superfluous.
These desolate beasts required his qi and blood to take shape. If he had so much qi and blood to spare, he would have already killed his enemies with a single punch.
Attempting to kill with these shadow beasts was like wearing an extra pair of pants to fart—a redundant effort.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t entirely useless. At the very least, his prosthetic limb has become much sturdier. And the more desolate beasts he seals, the stronger his limb would become.
In this manner, he would no longer need to frequently change his prosthetics.
Upon thinking this, Xu Mu also sealed some beasts into the prosthetic on his leg. In the end, he used up all the beast essence blood in the entire armory.
The old man with the goatee beside him felt both heartache and shock. The idea of controlling dozens of beast spirits with a prosthetic was something he’d never dared to imagine before.
In his mind, no matter how strong a desolate-beast martial artist was, they could only ever have a single beast spirit. He had never even heard of someone controlling two at the same time.
Yet now, watching Xu Mu summon dozens of beast spirits at once, he nearly lost his mind with shock.
Even the heartache of Xu Mu using up all the beast essence blood was overshadowed.
“How could something like this happen in the world? Could I be hallucinating?”
The goatee elder would rather believe his eyes were failing than accept that all he’d seen was the truth.
“Let’s go.”
With the two remaining blood crystals in hand, Xu Mu walked out of the armory first. The goatee elder momentarily stood in a daze before he quickly followed suit.
He was still shocked by Xu Mu’s summoning of dozens of beast spirits and had even forgotten to close the armory door.
However, with no more beast essence blood left in the armory, closing the door seemed to make little difference.
As the two emerged from the underground armory, they encountered Yang Jiang, who arrived hurriedly.
“Young Master, Chief Wu and I have gathered all the precious metals available in the city!”
Yang Jiang had a desire for praise.
“Find a place to store them for now!”
After speaking, Xu Mu continued to walk. At this time, Yin Wen also came over.
“My Lord, meals and accommodations are prepared!”
“Lead the way!”
“Yes!”
Watching the departing group, Yang Jiang felt a little awkward. He had made so much effort to gather these metals, but the young master didn’t seem to react at all?
He had hoped that Xu Mu would level up his cultivation, like he had in the county city.
Although puzzled, Yang Jiang didn’t dare to demand an explanation, and he decided to follow the group for dinner.
Meanwhile, Wu Chengbo had already relayed the occurrences in the County city to Du City through secret channels. The National Wusheng, dormant for over a decade, immediately set off for the County city with two Martial Arts Grandmasters.
