Chapter 976: Chapter 509: Unexpected Enemy Attack (Part 2)

By harnessing the terrifying speed of the Thunder Wings, Li Mu’s figure accelerated instantly, cutting through the night sky like a comet. With an incredible maneuver, he evaded Gao Hong’s impending Netherworld Abyss. Meanwhile, leveraging the Power of Thunder from the Thunder Wings, he left dazzling trails of lightning in the sky, attempting to escape from Gao Hong’s grasp.

Gao Hong’s expression changed drastically, his aura turning frenzied, as if utterly enraged by Li Mu’s provocation.

Gao Hong quickly sealed his hands, the Nether Qi in his body boiling. A force even greater than before surged from his body, and his figure became illusory.

"Netherworld Ghost Realm, suppress!"

Gao Hong’s deep and cold voice echoed in the night sky, his eyes seemingly transforming into two profound Netherworld holes, emitting a captivating light.

It was seen that Gao Hong’s body gradually merged with the surrounding Netherworld Realm, his figure becoming blurry and ethereal, no longer a flesh and blood body, but a ghost formed by endless Nether Qi. Meanwhile, several ghostly blue light shadows split from him. These shadows, like wandering souls, spiraled in the air; they intertwined to form a colossal Netherweb, covering miles and severing all of Li Mu’s escape routes.

"Just a mere Void Refining Cultivator, let’s see where you can escape!" Gao Hong’s voice came from all directions, filled with confidence and cruelty.

In the next moment, Li Mu’s rapidly traversing figure was swallowed by the Netherworld Abyss. Enclosed by boundless Nether Qi, his figure completely disappeared from the vicinity of Wuling Star.

Gao Hong, with a tired look, dispersed the Dharma Realm, revealing a slight smile on his face.

At this time, Sword Master Feng and Xin Tiansen’s battle continued, both severely injured but still fiercely fighting, their eyes fixed on Li Mu and Gao Hong’s figures.

Seeing Li Mu fall into Gao Hong’s hands, Sword Master Feng was extremely anxious, but being entangled by Xin Tiansen, he was powerless to rescue him.

At this moment, a brilliant light from a Teleportation Array tore through the space constraints, this sudden change attracting everyone’s attention, including the battling Sword Master Feng and Xin Tiansen, as well as Gao Hong, who had just dispelled the Dharma Realm.

"Not good, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect reinforcements are coming, Sect Master Xin, retreat!"

Gao Hong left a word for Xin Tiansen, his figure suddenly expanding, transforming into a dark Flowing Light, quickly darting through the void, swiftly fleeing as he sensed the unfavorable situation.

Xin Tiansen’s eyes showed a trace of reluctance, but reason told him that retreat was the best strategy at this time. With a cold snort, he also sharply retreated, putting distance between himself and Sword Master Feng. His Magical Artifact flashed, transforming into Thunder Light, and quickly vanished from the spot.

Seeing this, the Profound Cloud Sect and Netherworld Sect disciples entangled with the Profound Celestial Sword Sect disciples scattered and fled, each looking for escape routes.

"Gao, if you want to go, leave him behind for me!"

Sword Master Feng, wielding the Cyan Kite Dao Sword, ignored Xin Tiansen and went directly in pursuit of Gao Hong.

The Cyan Kite Dao Sword pierced through the sky, and Sword Master Feng’s figure moved like lightning, following relentlessly. He was burning with anger in his heart; Li Mu, as the Supreme Elder of the Sect, hailed as the Array and Artifact Dual Mastery, was the most important figure in the Sect. How could such an exceptional young talent easily fall into the enemy’s hands?

"Humph, this child has already fallen into my hands. If you pursue me any further, I’ll kill him!" Gao Hong’s voice came from the front, carrying a hint of mockery and threat.

"How dare you! If you dare harm a hair on his head, there will be no place for the Netherworld Sect!" Sword Master Feng roared continuously, chasing without stopping. At this moment, his Sword Intent soared to the sky, and the Cyan Kite Dao Sword shone even more brightly.

Although Gao Hong had transformed into a dark stream of light, moving extremely fast, Sword Master Feng, relying on the extraordinary quality of the Cyan Kite Dao Sword and his deep cultivation, managed to barely keep up. The two of them left dazzling trails in the starry sky, like two comets chasing each other, causing the surrounding stars to dim.

At this moment, Li Mu was in a dark space, surrounded by Netherworld Power. Looking around, he couldn’t see a hint of light, nor feel the passage of time. He tried to mobilize the Spiritual Power within himself but found it abnormally slow in this space filled with Nether Qi, as if bound by invisible chains.

"Where is this..." Li Mu pondered secretly, a unprecedented sense of crisis welling up within him. He had been swallowed by Gao Hong’s Netherworld Ghost Realm, but he had not expected this space to be so eerie, even suppressing Spiritual Power.

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Mu summoned Xiaobai from the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet.

"Xiaobai, summon the Nine Nether Whale!"

Looking at the Xiaobai with a pair of transparent butterfly wings unfolding before him, Li Mu hurriedly instructed.

Hearing this, Xiaobai glanced around, a trace of confusion flashing in its eyes but still obeyed Li Mu’s command. It lightly waved its crystalline butterfly wings, and circles of soft light appeared around its body.

Within moments, the space that had been as silent as the dead suddenly seemed awakened by a slumbering giant, beginning its deep and distant tremor. An ancient and mysterious aura, like the wind traversing from ancient times, silently pervaded the entire space, carrying the weight of the ages and endless mysteries.

As this aura spread, a pitch-black as ink crack slowly opened in the depths of the space, as if a portal to another world, accompanied by deafening roars, shaking every inch of the air.

Amidst this roaring, an enormous creature leisurely swam out of the crack, its body so vast it nearly filled Li Mu’s vision— it was the Nine Nether Whale.

The scales of the Nine Nether Whale shimmered with ghostly blue luster under the faint light, each tail swing causing the surrounding Nether Qi to surge, showcasing its majesty and strength as the Deep Sea Dominator.

"Master, the Nine Nether Whale has arrived." Xiaobai’s voice sounded in Li Mu’s ear.

Li Mu smiled slightly, calling Xiaobai to fly to the head of the Nine Nether Whale, asking Xiaobai, "Hmm! Xiaobai, can you sense the exit of this space using the power of the Nine Nether Whale?"

"I’ll try!"

Xiaobai nodded, its expression becoming solemn. It gently closed its eyes, beginning to connect with the Nine Nether Whale, as if the two became one, exploring together this unknown dark space.

In the air, the fluctuation of Nether Qi became more intense due to the addition of the Nine Nether Whale. They seemed drawn by this force, swirling around the Nine Nether Whale, forming a bizarre yet magnificent spectacle.

As time went on, Xiaobai’s brows first furrowed tightly, seemingly trying to parse the complex Netherworld Power; then gradually relaxed, eyes flashing with a bright glow, the joy of finding an answer.

"Master, I felt it! In the northeast direction of this space, there is an abnormal flow of Netherworld Power, which seems to have a faint resonance with the Spiritual Power of the outside world. That might be where the exit is." Xiaobai looked at Li Mu, happily responding.

Hearing this, a trace of joy flashed in Li Mu’s eyes: "Good! Then let’s head in that direction."

Xiaobai nodded, controlling the Nine Nether Whale’s avatar, letting out a deep and powerful whale call. With a mighty swing of its massive tail, it rushed towards the northeast, like an arrow off a string.

In the boundless dark space, the Nine Nether Whale moved extremely fast, shuttling through the labyrinth woven by Nether Qi, leaving trails of glimmering light. The wave of Netherworld Power formed ripples around them, yet could not stop the giant beast’s advance.

In a moment, time seemed to have lost its meaning. Sitting on the back of the Nine Nether Whale, Li Mu soon couldn’t endure the environment any longer, entering the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion himself, leaving Xiaobai to navigate the Nine Nether Whale out of this space.

Within the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, Li Mu experienced a sense of peace and tranquility, a stark contrast to the dark, oppressive space outside. He closed his eyes to recuperate, adjusting his heavily depleted status from the previous battle.

Meanwhile, Xiaobai continued to control the Nine Nether Whale’s avatar, persistently advancing in this unknown darkness.
