Desolate Bloodthread Worm

"I'll check the other branches..."

Li Mu suddenly suggested.

Without discussing it with Fate Sacred Ancestor and the others, he passed through the blood vapor and entered another branch.

Seeing that Li Mu had not gone deep into the branch and was merely standing at its entrance to peer inside, Fate Sacred Ancestor and the others grew no suspicious. Instead, each strengthened their detection abilities in an attempt to observe the superdimensional creatures, unaware that the creatures they sought were drawing ever closer.

Li Mu had chosen to avoid them not because he wanted to evade those superdimensional creatures.

He simply wanted to determine whether every branch contained those red threads. If they did, the path ahead would be difficult. Blood vessels were inherently intricate and tangled; with their perception restricted, finding what they sought would be far too difficult.

Under the gaze of the Star Emblem Mirror Eye, Li Mu quickly discovered red threads deep within this branch as well.

The red threads he had initially sensed in reverse were likewise approaching him at faster-than-light speed.

This time, however, he did not dodge. Instead, he prepared to capture this so-called superdimensional creature alive.

Before the red threads on his side could approach, though, those on Fate Sacred Ancestor's side had already closed in. Moreover, all the red threads fused into a single long red rope, displaying strength close to that of a three-pillar Sacred Ancestor. And this was clearly not the fusion limit of this superdimensional creature.

Because the red rope was vastly more dangerous this time, Fate Sacred Ancestor detected it earlier as well.

He immediately unfolded his Sacred World. The instant the superdimensional creature entered the range covered by the Sacred World, he froze the time dimension within a small area, locking the red rope in time.
