Chapter 548: Chapter 493: Deep Into the Secret Territory_3

Xu Mu’s heart shuddered, he knew that this evil creature was not an ordinary demon, but was likely controlled by a much more powerful Evil cultivator or Heretic cultivator.

He immediately concentrated and stilled his breath, preparing to face the attack of this evil creature.

The creature seemed to have sensed Xu Mu’s presence, let out a roar from its mouth, and then pounced towards Xu Mu.

Its body was extremely huge, like a dark shadow, enveloping the entire cave.

Xu Mu’s figure flashed, dodging the creature’s attack, and then quickly launched a counterattack.

The battle-axe in his hand slashed out violently, and a powerful energy blade went towards the creature.

The creature seemed to have no fear, its body violently shook, emitting a powerful dark aura, which shattered the energy blade.

Xu Mu was surprised, this creature’s power was much stronger than he had imagined.

He dared not slack off, and continued to attack. His figure instantly appeared beside the creature, and his battle-axe slashed out again.

The creature seemed to be enraged, let out a roar, and its large claws violently swiped towards Xu Mu.

Xu Mu’s figure flashed, narrowly avoiding the strike, but he was still shocked into coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.

He knew that this creature was very powerful, but his combat experience was also exceptional, and he had not revealed many flaws.

He quickly took out a talisman from his storage bag, ignited it with powerful mana, and blasted towards the creature.

The creature was hit by this skill, its body was directly pierced, but it let out a strange roar from its mouth.

Xu Mu’s heart shuddered, he knew the creature was not yet dead, and immediately prepared to launch another attack.

But at that moment, the creature suddenly exploded, a powerful dark aura instantly filled the entire cave.

Xu Mu’s heart was shocked, he knew that the creature had self-destructed, taking this extreme measure to protect itself.

He immediately concentrated and stilled his breath, preparing to face the attack of this dark aura.

But the dark aura did not attack him, instead, it diffused in all directions, enveloping the entire cave.

Xu Mu felt a powerful oppressive force rushing towards him, as if it wanted to crush him.

He understood in his heart, this dark aura was targeting his soul and consciousness, trying to completely obliterate him.

He struggled to resist the corrosion of this dark aura, but his soul and consciousness had already been suppressed to the point of immobility.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the mysterious stone can enhance cultivation and mana, so he immediately took it out.

Once the mysterious stone appeared, it immediately radiated a powerful light, completely dispelling the surrounding dark aura.

Xu Mu felt that his soul and consciousness regained their freedom, and was surprised at the miraculous effect of this mysterious stone.

He knew that this stone must be some kind of treasure, that can protect his soul and consciousness, and even possibly enhance his cultivation and mana.

He decided to study this stone carefully to see what the marvel of it could be.

He quickly left the cave and returned to where the disciples of Qingyun Gate were located.

When the other disciples saw him return unharmed, they all came up to inquire about the situation.

Xu Mu briefly explained his encounter, then began to study the mysterious stone.

The other disciples also curiously gathered around, wanting to see what was special about this mysterious stone.

Xu Mu held the stone in his hand, carefully observing its pattern and texture, trying to find out its origin and dynamics.

Unfortunately, he did not find any clues, he even couldn’t identify the material of the stone.

He decided that after returning to the sect, he would hand over this stone to the sect’s elders or the sect leader for further study, to see if they could identify its origin and efficacy.

In the subsequent explorations, Xu Mu encountered many other opportunities and treasures, none as mysterious and important as this stone.

He decided to continue exploring deeper into the Abyss Secret Realm, searching for more treasures and opportunities.
