When brothers meet, a round of pleasantries is naturally inevitable.
However, there was still a ferocious beast roaring outside. To prevent any accidents, Chen Mu decided to go out first and deal with the Teng Snake.
hiss...!
Inside the valley, the thousand-foot-long Teng Snake was covered in blood, and countless long swords occasionally slashed across its body. Although not fatal, they made it increasingly weak.
"You vile insects, if I ever recover, I'll make you pay!"
He was just unlucky; when he first woke up, he only wanted to eat some blood to speed up his recovery.
Unexpectedly, after eating only a few people, he encountered a tough opponent, A Huo. Not only did he fail to eat him, but he was also severely injured, and his condition is deteriorating.
In his complete form, he was Saint Level Peak beast. If it weren't for the severe injuries he suffered ten thousand years ago, he would never have been able to be hurt by A Huo.
For divine beasts, their strongest point is their physical body. Even if their cultivation level drops to the Early Saint Level, it is difficult for ordinary Mid Saint Level to harm them.
But he never expected to encounter A Huo and his group of oddballs. A Huo was unremarkable in other aspects, but his attack power far exceeded his own cultivation level.
Before A Huo broke through to the Saint Level, the attacks launched by the Demon-Slaying Legion were already comparable to those of the Mid Saint Level. After breaking through to the Saint Level, he was able to unleash attack power comparable to that of the Saint Level Late Stage.
Furthermore, A Huo's reckless and suicidal fighting style kept him constantly on the defensive.
At this moment, he was extremely weak, with several huge bloody holes pierced through his body by A Huo. This is why he was trapped by the combined efforts of Nangong Feng and the hundreds of talisman masters brought by Chen Xuejun.
"You guys leave, let me handle this."
Chen Mu flew to the front of the Teng Snake's enormous head and gave orders to the people below.
Chen Xuejun and Nangong Feng naturally wouldn't disobey Chen Mu's wishes, so they immediately ordered everyone to stop casting spells and release the Teng Snake from its restraints.
"Haha, you bunch of ants, you're all doomed."
Although Teng Snake noticed Chen Mu, he didn't take him seriously. As soon as the sword formation was broken, he immediately took to the air, trying to escape.
"You beast! Get down!"
Chen Mu naturally wouldn't let the Teng Snake leave. He pressed his palm down in mid-air, and a terrifying giant hand appeared from the sky, pressing the Teng Snake down again.
"A human Sage?"
The Teng Snake was suddenly startled, unable to understand why it had encountered two human Sage in such a short period of time. Had humanity become so powerful since it had been absent from the world for so many years?
"Human, let me leave right now."
Otherwise, you will soon be in dire straits.
In the era when he roamed the Pan Emperor Continent, humans were still very weak, and it was only natural for monsters to eat humans. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions.
He had already contacted his relatives using secret methods, and he believed that if he could delay for a while longer, someone would definitely come looking for him.
"Heh, you dare threaten me? Do you really think I, Chen Kingdom, am someone to be trifled with?"
Chen Mu stopped wasting words, used his hand as a knife, and slashed fiercely.
With a soft "plop, "the Teng Snake's head fell off, and crimson blood gushed out, gathering in the valley and turning into tiny rivers of blood.
"My people... will not let you go...!"
Normally, given Teng Snake's cultivation level, he wouldn't have been so easily killed by Chen Mu, but he was simply too weak, which is why Chen Mu killed him with a single blow.
With a soft "poof," a stream of light flew out from between the Teng Snake's eyebrows and landed in front of Chen Mu, who then grasped it in his hand.
"The inner core of Teng Snake! Hehe, what a treasure!"
The cultivation of demonic beasts differs from that of humans. They generally do not condense an inner world; even if their realm is high, they will only continuously condense an inner core.
That's why their physical bodies are so terrifying. Generally speaking, among those of the same level, the combat power of demonic beasts is stronger than that of humans. However, relatively speaking, demonic beasts don't have as many magical abilities as humans.
" Xuejun, this Teng Snake corpse is now yours."
I'll study this inner core first. If I make any new discoveries later, I'll give you another one.
Chen Mu had noticed that Chen Xuejun was staring intently at the Teng Snake's corpse, but the Teng Snake's inner core was too powerful, and he was worried that Chen Xuejun would not be able to control it, so it was safer to keep it in his own hands.
"Yes, Master."
Although it lacks an inner core, the corpse of the Teng Snake is still a rare treasure, enough to keep it under study for quite some time.
So Chen Xuejun wasn't upset. He hurriedly led his men down to begin dismembering the beast's carcass.
" A Huo, now that there's no danger here, I'll head back to the palace."
Since the boundary restrictions on the Pan Emperor Continent disappeared, the vast territory of the Chen Kingdom has become highly sought after. Chen Mu was worried that the Haotian Imperial Family might take other actions, so he prepared to return as soon as possible.
After Teng Snake's death, the purple mist gathered in the Ancient Desolate Mining Area gradually dissipated. At that time, this place could also be connected to the Spirit Network. A Huo could stay here to recuperate for a while longer, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Okay, I should stay here for another half month. You go back first, and we'll communicate via the Spirit Network."
A Huo and Chen Mu were several miles apart and communicated using telepathy.
Seeing that A Huo agreed, Chen Mu waved to Chen Xuejun and the others, casually boarded the spaceship, and disappeared into the air.
Returning to the Chen Kingdom, Chen Mu looked at the devastation of the city and felt a pang of sorrow.
Perhaps due to the environment, the souls of those who die on the Pan Emperor Continent dissipate extremely quickly.
Therefore, even if he wanted to imitate the Yin Five Elements Legion and preserve the souls of these dead warriors, he simply couldn't do it.
On the other hand, the reason why Chen Mu was able to transform the Yin Five Elements Legion into the Specter Legion was mainly because he had just broken through to the Saint Level at that time, and innate Qi was born in his body to nourish his soul. Afterwards, these souls absorbed the energy in the Spirit Magnetic Wave, which allowed this group of ghosts to complete their transformation.
The emergence of the Specter Legion was due to too many coincidences, and it will be difficult to achieve any research results in a short period of time to recreate the scene.
Furthermore, Chen Mu couldn't possibly store an endless number of souls within his body, so he was truly powerless to help these fallen warriors.
" A Mu, you're back so soon? Did you handle A Huo's situation?"
Chen Hongjie noticed that Chen Mu's spaceship was returning and sent a message to inquire about it.
"Yes, he's fine. He'll be back in a few days."
In another day or two, A Huo should be able to get in touch with Chen Hongjie, so Chen Mu didn't explain further.
Seeing that everyone in the city was busy, he didn't stay idle either. He flew his spaceship into the headquarters of the Rune Research Institute, preparing to input the research results he had obtained over the years into the central server.
The destruction of the capital this time is a huge blow to the economy of the Chen Kingdom. It will take at least three to five months for the capital to return to its former prosperity.
Chen Mu also planned to use this time to apply the new technologies he had learned from the Netherworld to transform the Imperial Capital into an even more perfect city.
