Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 412: Chapter 381 Collision_1

“Instant teleportation!!! Could it be a Heavenly Spirit Treasure?”

Seeing the three from the Cluster Stars Sect, quickly catching up under the golden bell, Xu Mu couldn’t help but feel a chill.

To achieve instant teleportation, one must either possess a Nascent Soul spiritual body, or reach the Void Refinement Realm to control the power of space. Or, one has to use some special treasures.

The three weren’t in the Void Refinement realm, so Xu Mu guessed that they might be using a Heavenly Spirit treasure.

Initially, he felt secure and unchallenged with the Sky-Splitting Halberd, paying no mind to the three major forces, refraining only to avoid troublesome encounters. He never expected to be blindsided this quickly.

But now, he didn’t have much time to think. Once the trio got closer, they no longer used their teleportation Divine Skill but drove the golden bell straight towards him.

Leaving aside the fact that all three of them had vastly superior cultivation levels, he dared not go head on with the golden bell magic artifact.

Xu Mu quickly evaded, wielding the Sky-Splitting Halberd to clear nearby space rifts, lest he accidentally collided with them.

The trio from the Cluster Stars Sect, hiding within the bell, could ignore the damage from space rifts. But he couldn’t, so he had to use the Sky-Splitting Halberd first to clear the way.

If he managed to hit a crucial point, he might die even before they attacked.

However, this unavoidably slowed his movement speed.

Fortunately, although the Cluster Stars Sect trio wasn’t afraid of the spatial rifts, the rifts affected the speed of the golden bell. This allowed Xu Mu to narrowly avoid their attack.

It seemed the trio had anticipated this. After their initial attack failed, they quickly resorted to deploying formation artifacts, attempting to restrain Xu Mu first.

Spurt!Spurt!

“Damn!”

What the trio didn’t expect was that several of their formation artifacts, upon being released, happened to hit the spatial rifts, and they were unexpectedly cut into two.

Despite their calm dispositions, they couldn’t help but curse when faced with this unexpected development.

Before entering, they weren’t completely unprepared for fighting within spatial rifts, but fighting in such a densely packed zone of space rifts was a first for them.

Right off the bat, they encountered problems. Thankfully, they could still use their abilities.

“Wind, come!”

Xu Mu wasn’t a fool. He wouldn’t just stand by and watch them cast their spells, putting him at a disadvantage.

He executed his spell, and the wind spirit power in the sky quickly converged, forming several gigantic wind dragons that roared toward the formation artifacts.

In an area filled with space rifts, it’s best to avoid physical combat as much as possible.

Wind dragons, as elemental beings, practically never die unless they are severely damaged. They couldn’t be more suited for this situation.

“I’ll set up the formation, you guys stop him!” the middle-aged man with white eyebrows growled.

The young man with starry eyes and the old man with the hawk nose immediately took out large numbers of talismans and threw them toward the wind dragons.

The talismans turned into sword lights, shadow blades, various magic artifacts, and various divine beasts, attacking the wind dragons, causing a brilliant display of varied colors in the sky.

The young man with starry eyes and the old man were evidently not fools either, not stupid enough to use their lifebound magic artifact to attack Xu Mu.

However, in terms of skill, Xu Mu wasn’t inferior, and with his vast spiritual power, he summoned several fire dragons.

Wind boosts the power of fire, and their power dramatically increased, directly suppressing their attack.

Both reveal themselves to lack expertise in skills, and without the talismans, they were helpless.

The formation that hadn’t been set up was immediately dispersed by the clash of their skills. Combined with the formation artifacts being cut open by the spatial rift, the white eyebrow Nascent Soul had no choice but to give up in the end.

“Use the golden bell to suppress him directly!” the old man with the hawk nose hissed.

Xu Mu’s strength was beyond their expectations, and under these circumstances, this seemed the only method capable of dealing with him.

The key issue was the vast number of spatial rifts around them. They were restricted, unable to use many tactics, needlessly wasting them.

Otherwise, faced with the combined efforts of the three, they wouldn’t be so frustrated.

Without hesitation, the other two cooperated with the old man with the hawk nose, whose cultivation level was the highest, and drove the golden bell towards Xu Mu once more.

“If I get trapped by that thing, I’m done for!” Xu Mu mentally exclaimed.

One in the early stage of Nascent Soul, two in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, all using a heavenly spirit treasure at the same time. It didn’t matter who they were up against; even a great cultivator in the late-stage Nascent Soul, if trapped, might not be able to break free.

After releasing the three people, the golden bell speeds up—there’s no chance to dodge.

His only choice is to face it head-on!

Xu Mu gritted his teeth, and shouted: “Go!”

A large bronze cauldron, engraved with mysterious ancient text, appeared above his head, emitting a greenish glow as if it were a divine artifact from the eternal past.

It was the Heavenly Spirit Treasure, the God Refining Tripod, which he had obtained from the DaYuan Dynasty!

At present, this was the only artifact he had that could counteract the opponent’s golden bell.

As for the Sky-Splitting Halberd, though it was powerful, it was of no use if he couldn’t wield it.

“Ignorant fool!”

Seeing that Xu Mu didn’t run away but rather decided to resist, the trio, while overjoyed, couldn’t help but look down on him.

The golden bell treasure was a pseudo-spirit treasure produced by their Cluster Stars Sect based on a Heavenly Spirit Treasure within the sect. The sect master has nourished it for many years using secret techniques, making its power comparable to that of a great cultivator in the late-stage Nascent Soul.

If Xu Mu had used that mysterious halberd, they might still have some concerns, but now it’s wishful thinking to try and block it with a magic artifact cauldron.

So, under the trio’s reckless drive, the golden bell and God Refining Tripod collided squarely.

Dang!

A melodious bell sound turned into layers of sound waves, instantly spreading out.

Spurt! Spurt!

Both sides were retched by the shockwaves, each spitting out blood from their mouths.

“Could this golden bell not be a Heavenly Spirit Treasure?”

Although Xu Mu was injured, his face didn’t show the slightest trace of despair.

Initially, he had speculated that under the combined efforts of the three, even if he managed to resist, he’d probably end up seriously injured.

Though he was injured now, it was not as serious as imagined.

More importantly, the others were also injured, and it seemed even worse than his.

There were only two explanations for this.

Eeither the combined cultivation of the three was inferior to his.

Or their magic artifact’s power was much weaker than his.

Xu Mu guessed it was the latter, so he doubted whether their golden bell was a Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

But while Xu Mu was rejoicing, the faces of the trio from the Cluster Stars Sect were ashen.

“Could his cauldron not be a lifebound magic artifact, that it can withstand the Hunyuan Bell? Doesn’t it hold another Heavenly Spirit Treasure?”

The trio were both shocked and angered. Their eyes glowed red with jealousy.

Even within the Cluster Stars Sect, a Heavenly Spirit Treasure was an extremely rare treasure, held only by folks like the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder.

Now, this stranger from the Sea Race, with the cultivation level of only the early-stage Nascent Soul, possessed two powerful Heavenly Spirit Treasures at the same time.

One could eliminate spatial rifts, and the other was an even rarer magic artifact, a cauldron!

Such defiance of heaven’s will was enough to drive anyone mad with jealousy.

Moreover, he could use them freely, which was simply beyond the comprehension of everyone.

“Continue! Even if it’s a Heavenly Spirit Treasure, so what? I don’t believe that he, alone, can withstand the attack of us three!”
