Blood Soul
Mu Yu’s death qi and life qi made haste, healing the damage Mu Yu took and absorbing the ominous soul energy.
“You have no tools left to defend yourself with anymore. Ready to hand over Walk-in Heart Genesis?” queried Gui Ximing, taking his time since he was at his strongest but also preparing to finish Mu Yu.
The blood souls completely outclassed Mu Yu in the speed department, swiftly changing their directions when he gave them the slip. Inexorably, one caught his shoulder, not leaving any marks behind, yet registering an agonising ripping sensation to his soul, literally. Not even his life qi and death qi could neutralise the anguish he experienced.
The dragon vine was also caught as it fled toward Mu Yu. Xiaoshuai was first to scamper back inside Ku Mu’s pouch, cursing as he fled.
“Kekeke, I shall enjoy my souls shredding your soul.”
“We can’t beat this prick yet.”
“Let’s retreat!” suggested Xiaoshuai, rubbing the spot he was tagged.
“You read my mind,” responded Mu Yu, about to take cover in Wood Spirit.
“Go.” A blue screen cut in between the blood souls and draping itself over Mu Yu’s shoulder.“Qiao Xue?” blurted Mu Yu, sensing her spiritual energy in contact with Wood Spirit.
Mu Yu jumped into Wood Spirit, and then Qiao Xue yanked him out of his siege.
“What is his deal?” questioned Qiao Xue, scrunching her face up at the sight and smell of Gui Ximing.
“He just looks uglier than his usual ugly self. Nothing to be surprised about.”
“You all right?” Qiao Xue inquired, massaging Mu Yu’s shoulder.
“Nothing to worry about. He just managed to bite me there.”
Qiao Xue transferred blue energy to Mu Yu’s shoulder, raising his eyebrow.
“Qiao Xue, you can heal pain that souls’ feel?”
“I don’t think so. If I have to hazard a guess, I think it’s because our wood and water energies supplement each other.”
“Hehe, a match made in heaven, I tell you.”
“Tsk, is this the time for jokes? We need to deal with him!” Qiao Xue chided, enveloping Mu Yu’s green leaves in her water again.
“So I’m getting a bonus trophy? I don’t mind that,” ridiculed Gui Ximing, skin gradually corroding to the point his bones were visible, yet energy soaring higher.
“How do we fight him?” Qiao Xue communicated through their linked weapons.
“I have no clue. If he continues getting stronger at this rate, he might even reach Ascension Realm!”
Gui Ximing blood souls couldn’t break through the water barrier Wood Spirit reinforced this time despite their advantage. Gui Ximing, therefore, slammed the barrier with his axe, shattering it and blowing the duo off.
“We’re still too weak even if we join hands,” stated Qiao Xue, retreating swiftly.
“Tch! Let’s pull back for now.”
Gui Ximing couldn’t stop Mu Yu escaping for the latter was too close to the exit leading to the eighty-first floor.
“You can run for now, but you can’t run forever!” blustered Gui Ximing, having to give up pursuit due to the Contiguous Horizon Formation on the eighty-first floor that he couldn’t do anything about.
“Phew. Which floor did you come from, Qiao Xue, the forty-sixth floor?” queried Mu Yu, sitting down on the stone step leading up World Manifestation Cycle Mountain.
“Yeah,” answered Qiao Xue, who had been running around based on luck ever since entering the pagoda. She sat down next to Mu Yu then asked, “Where are we? Also, why isn’t Gui Ximing pursuing us?”
“There’s a formation on this floor, which is the eighty-first floor, by the way, that he can’t overcome.”
After hearing everything Mu Yu went through, Qiao Xue enthusiastically inquired, “You know how to reach the ninety-ninth floor?”
“Yeah, I calculated a route there. Right now, this floor is connecting to the eighty-ninth floor we just came from. There’s only one entrance and exit on this floor,” replied Mu Yu, staring at Xiaoshuai, who was snuggling up on Qiao Xue’s cushions. “What’s on the forty-sixth floor?”
Qiao Xue stroked Xiaoshuai’s head “For someone reason, cultivation is cancelled out on the forty-sixth floor; you can’t even fly or use spiritual energy.”
“That must be ‘Spirit Void’ domain. Why would Reverend Xuan Jizi have someone set that up?” Mu Yu mumbled.
“What’s Spirit Void Domain?”
“It’s an ability exclusive to those who’ve reached Apotheosis Realm. According to Dad, cultivators are no different to ordinary humans within the domain.”
