Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 481: Chapter 448 Big Tree_1

Thud!

The attack fell squarely on Xu Mu’s head. The terrifying impact knocked him straight into the earth.

The White Ape frowned slightly, quickly leaping backward to put distance between them.

“Elder Brother Mu!”

“Young Master!”

Everyone was worried. They feared that Xu Mu had been killed by the blow.

From the looks of the previous fight, Xu Mu hardly had any chance of resisting. Being killed would be considered normal.

The next moment, Xu Mu, face covered with blood, slowly crawled out of the ground, speaking calmly,

“It seems like I’ll have to go all out to defeat you.”

“Playing tricks!”

The White Ape snorted coldly, not intending to wait foolishly. Its figure disappeared from its original position and launched another attack on Xu Mu.

Simultaneously, the blood streaming from the wound on Xu Mu’s head seemed to come alive, trickling across his body, transforming into one rune after another.

This world had no Spiritual Energy, and he had no Spiritual Power within him either. He could only rely on his blood to use Skills and Divine Skills. But under the White Ape’s attack, he simply had no chance to use any time-consuming, energy-draining Skills or Divine Skills. His only form of resistance was the use of physical skills.

The Twelve Startle Cicada Skill!

As Xu Mu pushed his body to its utmost limits, he could feel the bloodline of the Earth-splitting Whale hidden in his body.

Perhaps because the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill didn’t conflict with the rules of this world.

As for his Lifebound Nascent Soul, he still couldn’t feel it.

But the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill was already more than enough.

As the blood runes covered his entire body, the Bloodline Power within Xu Mu was finally unleashed, and his body started to transform rapidly.

Thud!

The White Ape’s staff had landed, but Xu Mu, already half-transformed, easily blocked it with his hand, nearly immovable.

“Huh?”

Surprise flashed through the White Ape’s eyes.

From their brief confrontation earlier, they had already gauged each other’s strength. Xu Mu was significantly weaker; if the fight dragged on, he would undoubtedly lose.

And yet, the method he was using now seemed only a common skill among Martial Artists. How had his strength changed so drastically?

Once Xu Mu’s transformation was complete, a glint of cold light appeared in the White Ape’s eyes.

The Xu Mu before him reminded him of a woman who had injured him more than a decade ago.

The aura around the two was eerily similar, but the woman had an even stronger aura that she couldn’t control. If she could, she would have surely breached his defenses.

Because he was perturbed by that aura, he had let her escape.

Although the current human before him didn’t possess a more powerful bloodline aura, his strength was greater.

The transformed Xu Mu, now standing over thirty meters tall, made the once hulking White Ape look like a newborn baby.

Xu Mu slammed his left fist into the ground.

Boom!

The ground cracked instantly, and numerous large rocks were violently blasted into the air.

He then spread his left hand and swiped toward the ascended rocks.

Thud, thud!

The launched rocks, now like cannonballs, bombarded the White Ape.

The White Ape swung its jade-green staff intending to defend itself but was swept away by the force, shattering its wind-element-infused staff, and his hands splintered, blood gushing from his body.

Xu Mu swiftly dropped a barrage of rocks and, unforgiving when on the offensive, did not stop until it formed a mountain, completely suppressing the White Ape.

Xu Mu jumped into the air, slamming his fist into the mountain with all his might.

Boom!

Under the tremendous pressure, the White Ape, who still had a bit of resistance left, spurted blood and fainted on the spot.

Xu Mu reached into the mountain, dragging the White Ape out like a dead dog.

He had also returned to his normal size, except his face was pale and somewhat terrifying.

The previous overwhelming fight drained his body’s vitality tremendously.

This was why he chose to give his all in a swift attack. If the fight had continued, he would have been the one to lose.

He grabbed the White Ape’s head, ready to execute the Soul Searching Technique, but then, an elderly voice rang in his ear.

“Ah! You young folks woke me up just when I was about to fall asleep! You’re from another world, aren’t you?”

The voice carried no aura of majesty, yet it resonated within their hearts, as though someone had intruded into the depths of their souls.

This feeling of being controlled from inside out caused Xu Mu to feel a chill in his heart.

It was obvious that the speaker’s strength far surpassed his own.

He thought of the mysterious entity perceived by Yue.

However, what surprised him even more was that the other party knew his identity.

“The younger generation, Xu Mu, pays his respects to the senior!”

Xu Mu did not dare to show any disrespect to the creature, whose strength was far superior to his own.

Before he could continue speaking, the scene around them shifted, and they found themselves standing by a massive tree that emitted a green glow.

The term ‘massive’ was in comparison to their size. Compared to the other trees, towering and reaching the clouds, the tree before them was just a sapling.

Yet, this seemingly ordinary tree evoked a sense of ancient desolation and agedness, like a living fossil that had traversed the river of time.

It felt as if they were standing amidst the primordial chaos of the universe’s inception.

However, Xu Mu felt a slight disappointment. Although the tree was incredibly powerful, it wasn’t the terrifying entity he had sensed.

There was still an unbridgeable gap between them.

Even so, the tree before him was hundreds, thousands of times more powerful than he was.

“Senior, since you knew I came from another world, I have a question. Do you know how to leave this place?”

After what he had gone through to get here, wasn’t his purpose to find a way out?

This tree might be terrifyingly powerful, but it didn’t show any hostility, which meant there was room for negotiation.

That was why he asked about it as soon as he arrived.

If it were like the White Ape just now, his first thought would be how to escape.

“I don’t know which world you come from, but the only way to leave this place is to tear through space, crossing through spatial turbulence.”

A face appeared on the tree as it spoke.

The tree did not hide anything, but this answer did not satisfy Xu Mu.

Tearing through space and crossing through spatial turbulence was something only someone who had reached the Refining Void stage could do. And Xu Mu was miles away from reaching that stage.

Even worse, this world had no Spiritual Energy, so he would never reach the Refining Void stage.

“Would the senior be willing to send me away with your strength? If you can help me leave this place, I will be sure to repay you generously in the future,” Xu Mu said.

He had confidence in his potential. As long as he had time, he would surely reach a high level and be able to repay the tree for its help. His words were not empty promises.

“If you’re willing to wait for hundreds of thousands of years for me to achieve breakthrough, I wouldn’t mind helping you leave.”
