Chapter 1799: Chapter 1656: Submerged Lands
Chu Muâs perception covered several boundaries, and the Ancient Jiao Person would certainly have a distinct flame-burning aura on him, making it easy for Chu Mu to quickly sense his location.
However, what surprised Chu Mu was that the Ancient Jiao Person swam towards a very distant place.
A long trail of flames dragged behind him, showing that the Nine Yao Purgatory had inflicted considerable flame wounds on him.
The flames were still burning on him, and even diving into the seawater could not extinguish them.
Chu Mu watched the Ancient Jiao Person from a distance but didnât pursue deeply.
The Ancient Jiao Person was now diving into the deep sea, and if Chu Mu fought him in the water, he would surely be bitten a few times.
The seawater continued to churn on the land. Chu Mu could evaporate the torrential downpour, but he couldnât stop the surge of black seawater from the Henghai.
Previously, people had predicted that after the Ancient Jiao Person woke, half of the Struggle Land might be swallowed by the vast black ocean.
The first to be engulfed would surely be the New Moon Land, followed by the western boundaries of Struggle Land. No one could stop this evil dragon demonâs black sea domination.
As expected, after the Ancient Jiao Person woke, the sea level of Henghai was constantly rising. At this rate, it wouldnât take more than a month for a quarter of Struggle Landâs territory to turn into a vast ocean.
...
"Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Towering waves extinguished the Ancient Jiao Personâs flames as he soared into the sky again, his serpentine body coiled between the sea and clouds, like a mountain range.
With the same deceitful smiling fang-filled face, the Ancient Jiao Person glared at Chu Mu, somewhat angrily and shamefully.
He didnât rashly launch an attack on Chu Mu. The fire power Chu Mu controlled was the flame of Red Fire Daylight, the strongest in the world except for Black Fire Daylight. The Ancient Jiao Personâs previous overconfidence had caused him considerable injury.
This creature was very cunning, knowing the prowess of Chu Muâs Red Fire Daylight. He decided to hover above the black sea, so when a skill like Nine Yao Refining Furnace appeared again, he could promptly dive into the ocean, leaving Chu Mu helpless against him.
Chu Mu summoned countless fire rain to bombard the Ancient Jiao Personâs ocean.
The Ancient Jiao Person stayed within the ocean, letting the red flames burn in the black ocean.
The black ocean was naturally not ordinary water; if it were a regular ocean, the daylightâs red fire could easily maintain high temperatures and burn in the water.
This black water was filled with toxicity, and Chu Muâs red fire would extinguish after only a moment in the black ocean.
Thus, one in the sky, one in the sea, they engaged in an elemental conflict through fire and ocean.
Even from the distant Heavenly Palace, one could see the clash of black water and red fire, not to mention other places in the human territory.
In countless human cities, as long as people looked towards New Moon Land, they would see the earth splitting, the water and fire colliding in a shocking scene.
The solar eclipse brought darkness to people, yet in this darkness, what demon god dominated all things to disrupt this world?
A world is enormous to anyone, fundamentally unmovable.
Yet, the terrifying force of the demon gods rising in that direction could truly influence a world. People should be grateful the god and demon battlefield was not here, not in their city. But who could guarantee that those scorching flames like a falling sun and the heaven-swallowing black ocean wouldnât someday engulf them here?
Solar eclipse, where ghosts roam, wild demons dance.
People dared not leave the city lightly, cultivators dared not enter the Mysterious Realm to train, and even within the city itself, there was an unsettling feeling.
A piercing cold wind blew from somewhere, striking a human city curled up under the nightfall...
...
Chu Mu and the Ancient Jiao Person battled from New Moon Land to Henghai, then from Henghai to the human territories, the trampling lives were countless.
Yet, given the clash of attributes, whenever Chu Mu truly wounded the Ancient Jiao Person with red fire, this cunning evil dragon would hide in the black water.
In the solar eclipse, there was no distinction between day and night, yet Chu Mu knew this battle had been prolonged. If every time he wounded the Ancient Jiao Person, it escaped into the ocean, then this battle would have no end.
The ocean continued swallowing the Mortal World land, the sea level rising ever higher, the Ancient Jiao Person in the sky would be wounded by Chu Muâs flames. It simply decided not to leave the sea, either waiting for Chu Mu to enter the sea to fight him, or it would never bother those annoying flames on Chu Mu again.
...
"Young Master, it has escaped to the deep sea to recuperate. You donât have to be so persistent. An Undying Level creature can perhaps determine a winner, but to kill the opponent is almost impossible; otherwise, it wouldnât be called Undying," said Fox Elder.
"I canât let it behave recklessly like this," Chu Mu said, looking at the constantly rising sea water.
"Its ocean is now expanding towards Wupan Continent over there. It seems it also fears you a bit," Fox Elder said.
Judging by the rate of ocean engulfment by the Ancient Jiao Person, a month would be enough to swallow a quarter of Struggle Landâs territory. However, with Chu Mu as a new Undying Level in Struggle Land, the Ancient Jiao Personâs march had to be hindered.
The direction of the black ocean was visibly changing, now heading towards Wupan Continent to swamp over.
The entire area in Wupan Continent has migrated, leaving behind empty cities. This retreat by the Ancient Jiao Person was presumably temporary, shifting its target towards Wupan Continent.
Wupan Continent had a long coastline connected to Henghai, and if Chu Mu chased him there, it would be akin to reaching the Ancient Jiao Personâs territory. In such oceanic areas, Chu Mu was certainly not a match for the Ancient Jiao Person.
"Now it no longer dares to rampage in Struggle Land, Young Master should stabilize his strength first, then consult with the master of Henghai, Emperor Huangquan, for a strategy. The possibility of killing the Ancient Jiao Person with the Young Masterâs strength alone isnât large, but you can ally with Emperor Huangquan," said Fox Elder.
Fox Elderâs words made sense; Chu Mu indeed had no way to deal with the Ancient Jiao Person hiding in the deep sea now.
But if allied with Emperor Huangquan, Emperor Huangquan would discuss with it who the true dominator of the ocean is.
...
Chu Mu dispelled the red flames from his body that resembled the Daylight, and flew towards World City.
The Holy Temple of World City was still under protection, even though the surroundings had become a black vast ocean.
Chu Mu recited a spell, forcibly drawing the seawater directly into the Black Hole, allowing World City to return to its original appearance.
Upon reaching the Holy Temple, Chu Mu saw those leaders hiding inside like dogs who had lost their homes.
When Chu Mu landed at the Holy Temple, King Ning, Xiao Xue Ang, and the Head of the Dark Sect all kept their eyes fixed on Chu Mu, motionless.
They had all witnessed the confrontation between Chu Mu and the Ancient Jiao people. They originally thought that Yu Suo would become the human god within this Ten Thousand Year Roulette.
Unexpectedly, the position of god ultimately fell upon Chu Mu, the Demon Man.
"Where is my father?" Chu Mu glanced around but did not see Chu Tianmang.
Chu Tianmang was surrounded by eleven drops of Monument Tears, and it was unknown what change had occurred. Chu Mu was most worried about him now.
The power of the eleven drops of Monument Tears had mostly been consumed during the refining of the Red Fire Day energy, and Chu Mu was uncertain whether these Monument Tears, even if all fell into Chu Tianmangâs hands, could truly allow him to inherit the position of a Fourth Era Strongman.
"He flew away on his own, likely to find a place to meditate," Xiao Xue Ang explained.
"Young Master, he now has eleven drops of Monument Tears in his hands; there wonât be any danger," the Fox Elder added.
Chu Mu nodded and began searching for Yu Suo.
But Yu Suo was not in the Holy Temple. When Chu Mu used his Soul Sense to perceive, he discovered that Yu Suo had already flown to the east at some unknown time.
Chu Muâs body transformed into a scarlet light, chasing in Yu Suoâs direction.
...
Chu Mu was now at the Undying level, moving at an extremely fast speed.
A moment later, Chu Mu saw Yu Suo sitting on the back of the Ten Thousand Years of Undying Dark Sorrow King.
"Where are you going?" Chu Mu landed in front of Yu Suo.
"Cultivation," Yu Suo replied, maintaining that indifference.
Chu Mu looked at Yu Suo with a puzzled expression.
She made herself into an Undying level and then turned to leave?
This simply wasnât in line with Yu Suoâs character.
"Donât forget your promise to me," Yu Suo said with a blank expression as Chu Mu remained silent.
"I know."
"Do you have anything else to say?" Yu Suo looked at Chu Mu and asked.
"No." Chu Mu himself did not know what to say.
He was just baffled, confused by Yu Suoâs actions this time that Chu Mu couldnât understand at all.
"Then Iâll leave. Enjoy the feeling of becoming a god," Yu Suo said, patting the Dark King Shang on the head.
Dark King Shang glanced at Chu Mu and continued to step forward, walking against the black nightfall.
"Wait a moment..." Chu Mu called out to Yu Suo again.
Yu Suo turned around, slightly impatient as she looked at Chu Mu, her eyes faintly showing anger.
Did this guy not know that she had been tolerating him all along, did he really think some things could be wiped away from the heart?
"Whatâs the matter now? Instead of wasting time here with me, isnât it better to find a quiet place to consolidate your Undying level power and focus on how to deal with the Heavenly Palace!" Yu Suo said.
"Wait here," Chu Mu said to Yu Suo.
"Boring!" Yu Suo ignored Chu Mu, turning to leave.
Chu Mu simply recited a spell and directly restrained Dark King Shang and Yu Suo in place.
"You!! You bastard!!" Yu Suo finally erupted.
After helping him become Undying level, he actually used the Undying levelâs power to restrain her!
"Anyway, youâve been tolerating me for a long time; a few more minutes wonât matter. Wait here for me, Iâll be back soon." Chu Muâs body transformed into a scarlet flame, disappearing under the black arc of the sky in an instant, in front of Yu Suo.
Seeing Chu Mu restrain her here and then leave, Yu Suoâs eyes welled up with mist, starting to feel that giving all her energy to Chu Mu was the most foolish decision she had ever made in her life...
But what could she do?
This power of the Red Fire Day, she simply didnât dare to absorb it. Once absorbed, the life within her body would be burned alive.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt... (to be continued. If you like this work, youâre welcome to come to Qidian () to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m. to read.)
