Chapter 1782: Chapter 1639: Peak Immortal, Bone Demon Giant
Chu Mu felt his heart beating violently.
Previously he didn’t know this guy’s strength, and with the entire great hall being sculptures, Chu Mu was able to maintain a calm demeanor.
But knowing that this guy is a strong one from the Fifth Era and is about to wake up, a fear akin to facing the Death God rushed forward, making breathing difficult.
Chu Mu took a slow step forward, yet this step left him drenched in cold sweat.
He couldn’t help but keep glancing at the half-closed eyes of the ancient Jiao person, always feeling that when he looked away, this guy would open his eyes, feigning a false smile while staring at him, mocking his ridiculous act.
Chu Mu planted Yu Suo’s seeds into the gaps of the stone bricks, knowing these seeds would burrow into the gaps like life when they encountered a hard object, then slowly take root and sprout.
They inherently contain energy and will grow slowly even without absorbing nutrients.
Chu Mu arranged the seeds into a formation diagram as Yu Suo requested. Halfway through scattering them, Chu Mu again felt as though a pair of eyes were watching him.
Through the dim light, Chu Mu glanced at the face of the ancient Jiao person.
The ancient Jiao person had a very long man’s face, with wide lips curled into a king’s sneer, a sharp chin having a strange bone horn, and a nose and eyebrows forming a long narrow triangle...
This face always gave Chu Mu an unspeakable strangeness. He seemed to be smiling, a false smile, pretending to be asleep, or deliberately closing his eyes to wait for foolish people to approach it.
"Young Master, look at its tail," the Fox Elder softly said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu turned his gaze to the tail of the ancient Jiao person, discovering that the tip of this fellow’s tail was gently twitching!
This thing, facing it is one thing, but standing right in front of it and watching it slowly transition from petrification to motion, that chill would really spread through the whole body...
It’s hard to imagine that even at his current level, he still feels chills like a weak creature under the aura of some powerful one.
The ancient Jiao person’s body was gray, like a vivid sculpture.
Now, the tip of its tail gradually showed the blue of flesh scales and the resilience of flesh fins. If you looked closely, you could see its petrification was slowly dissipating along its tail.
The unraveling speed wasn’t fast, but it’s certain it wouldn’t be long before it fully awakens!
"The sealing power of the Totem Temple should come from the Red Fire Day. Once the light of the Red Fire Day is absorbed and blocked, the seals existing in this World will weaken. Along with dark creatures and evil creatures running rampant during the solar eclipse... the eclipse seems like a sinful pardon, turning the entire Mortal World into a demon’s carnival night," the Fox Elder murmured.
"I really don’t understand why the Heavenly Palace wants to absorb the energy of the Red Fire Day," Chu Mu said.
"They must have their reasons."
The petrification seal of the ancient Jiao person was gradually dissipating. As they spoke, nearly all the end of its tail was released.
The tail, like a newly born life, swayed more vigorously, seemingly eager to break free from all restraints.
Chu Mu didn’t know whether to be glad that this guy hadn’t fully awakened yet or to mourn the pressing urgency of time.
"There’s still half left, Young Master, move faster, we should still have time to escape," the Fox Elder said, taking some seeds to help Chu Mu scatter them in a formation pattern.
Chu Mu nodded, not daring to be distracted anymore.
...
"Moo moo moo~~~~~~~~~~"
Mo Ye, perched on Chu Mu’s shoulder, suddenly let out a sound, reminding Chu Mu of something.
Chu Mu immediately glanced at the ancient Jiao person, discovering that about a meter of its long tail had completely unfrozen, adding to his unease.
"Moo moo moo!!!!"
Suddenly, Mo Ye rose from Chu Mu’s shoulder, eyes glaring with hostility at the giant creature half-kneeling in the great hall’s center.
Originally, the ancient Jiao had a large group of retainers beneath him, who’ve been unsealed over the past few years, wreaking havoc on the Sea Race and Human Territory. Chu Mu had hunted around ten of these creatures, but many others dispersed in various places unknown to Chu Mu.
The only ones seemingly left were the Dark King Shang guarding outside and this half-kneeling giant.
The giant’s contours were sharp and fierce, with bone spurs growing like weapons at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and ankles.
It maintained a half-kneeling posture, its head almost touching the great hall’s ceiling.
Chu Mu graced a look at it and suddenly discovered the giant’s eyes emitting a cyan glow, gazing down at him with pride!
Awake!!! Chu Mu sharply inhaled!
"Poof!!!!!!!!!!"
The giant grasped a bone spur and, catching Chu Mu off guard, struck fiercely at him!!
Chu Mu’s body rapidly turned into flames, with the bone spur missing his face by a hair’s breadth and almost piercing straight through his head!
"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The bone spur pierced into the hard stone palace, causing the entire great hall to shake violently.
Dust fell, and in the corner of the great hall, black and white flames reignited, and within the tongues of fire, Chu Mu’s outline slowly emerged.
A few drops of blood oozed from the scratch on Chu Mu’s cheek, he wiped it and felt a lingering fear.
This guy had been awake all along, pretending to be petrified, almost got me killed with that bone spur!
"Young Master, give me the seed, you deal with it," the Fox Elder knew time was tight and quickly said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu tossed the remaining seeds to the Fox Elder, and the black wild flame and silver evil flame on his body ignited!
A huge fist suddenly attacked in the darkness, offering Chu Mu no room to dodge.
Chu Mu decided not to avoid it, and his black flaming fist met the Bone Demon Giant’s fist wind!
"Boom boom boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The flames and fist wind raged through the great hall, and the Bone Demon Giant staggered a few steps backward, its back head crashing through the top of the great hall.
Chu Mu, who opposed its strength, didn’t fare much better; he was blasted against the stone wall of the great hall, shattering a part of the solid stone wall that wobbled as if it would collapse at any moment.
"This guy is also so strong!" Chu Mu shook his slightly numb arm.
Chu Mu’s current strength in the Human Domain was indeed close to invincible, and even the leaders of the Eight Great Powers had to show him respect.
Yet this giant could blast him away with one punch, proving that it was a Peak Immortal Level creature!
Unable to defeat the Ancient Jiao people, can’t even handle its subordinates?
Naturally unwilling, Chu Mu focused intently, and black flame lances spontaneously combusted in the dust-falling great hall.
These flame lances, controlled by Chu Mu’s mind, furiously stabbed at the Bone Demon Giant.
Every Demonic Flame Lance that touched the Bone Demon Giant’s body caused a terrifying dual explosion of flames and space, the power of which was enough to completely destroy a city!
The Bone Demon Giant used its stout arms to shield its face, letting the flame lances stab into its body, its form slowly sliding back under the explosive power.
"Groarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!"
Suddenly, the giant roared, slamming its dual fists fiercely onto the ground of the great hall!
Instantly, dense white bones appeared around the Bone Demon Giant, forming a bone shield!
The bone shield blocked all of Chu Mu’s attacks, then transformed into deadly weapons, furiously emerging from the pillars and walls of the great hall!
Dense bone spurs filled the entire great hall with no space to dodge, except around the Ancient Jiao’s King’s Chair; Chu Mu had nowhere to escape, while the Fox Elder quickly hid in a dead-end spot, holding onto the seed and not daring to scatter it...
Chu Mu was surrounded by bone spurs, utterly as if he had entered a large mouth full of fierce fangs, being chewed by rows of sharp teeth.
"Young Master, lure him elsewhere, all those seeds are destroyed," the Fox Elder called from a safe place they had hidden.
Chu Mu glanced at the Fox Elder, secretly astonished that this old creature, despite the Peak Immortal Level attack, could find skill gaps to evade.
Presumably, demon envoys are naturally endowed with such keen survival instincts.
Chu Mu chanted a spell, forcibly entering an Alternate Dimension Space, directly transferring outside the giant door of the great hall.
Seeing Chu Mu trying to escape, the Bone Demon Giant’s cyan eyes flickered, and instantly more bone spurs appeared, sealing off the great hall densely.
Chu Mu reacted swiftly to escape, looking back to find the entire great hall unexpectedly filled with those terrifying bone spurs, densely packed and dreadfully intimidating!
In the black space outside the great hall, Ye, Zhan Ye, and Dream of Oblivion were engaged in confrontation with Dark King Shang, the battle gradually moving upwards.
There seemed nothing there requiring his attention, so Chu Mu, while the Bone Demon Giant hadn’t caught up yet, quickly chanted a spell.
The spell invoked the surrounding dark space, appearing peaceful, yet swiftly surged with a wave.
The wave in a diamond-shaped area, with peculiar subsidence differing from normal space.
Within the subsided diamond-shaped area, dark energy, space energy, and flame elements madly interwove and collided, becoming immensely agitated.
"Groar groarrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
As expected, the Bone Demon Giant charged out, the great hall’s doors unable to fully accommodate its body, shattering directly!
Seeing this creature charging, Chu Mu flipped his palm, and the diamond-shaped surging area also flipped, landing right in the path of the Bone Demon Giant, like a prison locking its body!
At the same time, the collision of dark, demonic flame, and dimensional forces within this space generated a violently destructive force, blasting onto the Bone Demon Giant’s body!
