Chapter 591: Chapter 354 Earth Origin Elixir
Chen Mu was unaware of the fright Luan Qiumei and Xia Yu’r had experienced.
If he had been there and seen Xia Yu’r’s “Reversing Yin Yang” technique, he would have been amazed and would have admired it, trying to learn a thing or two. After all, the Yin Yang Domain was able to reverse the natural transformations within a certain range, and his Qiankun Path could similarly “reverse Qiankun,” making all techniques in the world learnable for him.
As for the fact that Xia Yu’r and the others only knew about Ji Yuanshan’s death and were not sure that it was him who had killed Ji Yuanshan, he wouldn’t care either. Even if they knew, it wouldn’t matter to him at this point. Killing Ji Yuanshan was not a big deal to him, and there was already no room for easing tensions with the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion.
After killing Ji Yuanshan and the other two, Chen Mu had only acquired three Spirit Weapons.
Since they had just entered the Earthly Abyss, it was obvious they had not yet gathered any treasures. Nonetheless, the three Spirit Weapons counted as some gains. The ones belonging to Fu Jingyuan and the Grandmaster from the Blood Hidden Pavilion aside, Ji Yuanshan’s Spring Autumn Sword was a superior Spirit Weapon and was quite valuable.
The only trouble was that he had just entered the Earthly Abyss and already had three Spirit Weapons to carry. Fortunately, both the Spring Autumn Sword and Fu Jingyuan’s Spirit Weapon were easy to carry. The Blood Hidden Pavilion Grandmaster’s Spirit Weapon, a mere three-inch-long Flying Needle, was even more convenient due to its sneakiness and extreme nature.
After ceasing to be followed,
Chen Mu began to explore the Earthly Abyss alone, gradually delving deeper step by step.
The more he explored, the more astounded Chen Mu felt about the vastness of the Earthly Abyss. Just the upper layer alone was almost the size of the entire Frost County above ground, albeit without any mountainous landforms.
And this layer was just the surface; the depths below were truly infinite. No one from ancient times to the present had ever fully understood how vast the Earthly Abyss actually was. Nor had anyone ever reached the very bottom of it.
Not long afterward,
Chen Mu discovered a cave that led deeper into the abyss, and after a brief moment of thought, he stepped into it.
The danger in the uppermost layer of the Earthly Abyss was the lowest. Creatures like the previous Seventh Rank Ancient Demon were mostly attracted by the great disturbances upon the opening of the Earthly Abyss and usually roamed at the surface level, similar in caliber to the Wolf Demon. However, resources were also exceedingly scarce on this upper surface. Chen Mu had roamed at least a few hundred miles in half a day, finding nothing.
After going deeper into the cave by about two hundred zhang, Chen Mu reached a deeper layer of the Earthly Abyss. The oppressive feeling here intensified a bit, which made him even more cautious and vigilant as he continued to explore.
Not far he had gone,
Bang!
Suddenly, the eerily silent wasteland shattered, and a pair of sharp, scythe-like giant teeth lunged at Chen Mu, aiming to sever him in two at the waist. Below, in the crumbling wasteland, an enormous gaping maw emerged.
Chen Mu remained composed, his expression unchanging. He flickered in midair unexpectedly, moving sideways clear of the scything giant teeth’s killing zone. He then raised his hand and delivered a powerful punch, heavily smashing into the giant teeth.
Crack!
This giant tooth, almost ten zhang long, cracked all over under Chen Mu’s punch and broke off shattering at the waist, the half flying out.
“Gahz…”
A painful roar bellowed from beneath the wasteland.
It was then that Chen Mu looked down and saw that his attacker was a bizarre giant insect, about ten zhang long, covered in black armor and emitting surging demonic power. Though he couldn’t identify the creature, its aura was undoubtedly of the Seventh Rank.
The Insect Demon, failing to hit Chen Mu and having one of its giant teeth broken by his strike, roared painfully. It immediately tried to shrink back into the depths of the earth, attempting to flee.
However, Chen Mu’s eyes were cold and unyielding, refusing to let it go.
With a flicker, he moved like a transient shadow, reaching directly above the giant insect’s head and grasped another protruding giant tooth, yanking hard with a sudden burst of strength.
Bang!!!
The quiet wasteland cracked and broke as the nearly ten zhang long body of the giant insect was forcibly pulled out of the ground by Chen Mu. Holding its giant tooth in his left hand and delivering a Palm Imprint with his right,
a snapping sound was heard, and the insect’s armored head was smashed by Chen Mu’s palm, its insides were mashed into a pulp.
However.
Despite this deadly blow, the giant insect did not immediately die, instead it twisted and rolled madly.
Seeing this, Chen Mu did not plan to make much commotion. He delivered two more Palm Imprints in quick succession, straightening the giant insect’s body before heavily slamming it onto the ground, gradually losing its life force.
“This Earthly Abyss indeed houses many unnameable Seventh Rank Demon Kings.”
Chen Mu glanced at the corpse of the giant insect.
Above ground, any Demon King of the Seventh Rank and above was typically recorded in the Da Xuan Demon Record, mostly with distinct names like Black Jiao, etc. However, in the Earthly Abyss, there are many species of Seventh Rank monsters without specific names, like this bizarre giant insect resembling a centipede, which Chen Mu had not found in any demon records he had seen.
But regardless of whether it was recorded or not, Chen Mu didn’t care. He stepped down from midair, landing next to the giant insect Demon Corpse, tore apart its shell with his right hand, released a burst of Yuan Gang True Essence inside its body for a moment, and quickly pulled out a small clump of pale blue blood.
Although the Seventh Rank monsters were also treasures with value, most of them were not considered significant enough for the current Chen Mu to expend energy to carry. Only the refined “Heart Blood” was barely worthy for him to harvest.
