Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 513: Chapter 470 Counterattack_1

Xu Mu stood in the middle of the room, smiling at the Sword Offering Boot Boy, surrounded by numerous vigilant Golden Core True Monarchs of the Outer Sea.

The Sword Offering Boot Boy was shocked by the aura, and said seriously, “I’m simply telling the truth!”

Those who have survived to this point are not fools; he might disrespect Xu Mu verbally, but he does not dare to let his guard down internally.

“Just telling the truth? Hmm!”

With a slight step, Xu Mu instantly closed the distance to the Sword Offering Boot Boy. The boy, startled, immediately tried to summon his sword for protection.

Ka-da!

The Sword Box snapped open, and a luminescent flying sword shot out, charging towards Xu Mu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Mu spread his fingers and reached out, grabbing the flying sword in his hand.

The Sword Offering Boot Boy widened his eyes in disbelief. Having lived for several hundred years, this was the first time he had seen anyone resist a flying sword in such a manner.

Buzz!

The flying sword in Xu Mu’s hand struggled like a trapped dragon.

But those slender, white fingers held it like an iron vice, unmoved by any attempt it made to break free.

“This sword is trash, and so is its wielder.” Xu Mu said in a plainly.

Before the Sword Offering Boot Boy could respond in anger, the sword was thrown sent flying back by Xu Mu. Unable to control the sword, the boy had no choice but to attempt to block with a shield.

However, the power contained in the flying sword was too strong; it pierced through the shield and sent the boy flying backward.

Spurt!

The Sword Offering Boot Boy spat blood, a massive hole punctured in his body as he lay lifeless on the ground.

Xu Mu shook his head, turned around, and looked at Lu Jingkong.

“Friend Lu, it would be better to recruit less of these underlings who are all talk and no substance.” he advised.

“…”

Everyone was silent for a moment, only then did Lu Jingkong reply with a smile, “We are all on the same side, it would be better to hold back a little the next time.”

A next time?

Everyone present couldn’t help but want to object.

More than that, they were all shocked by Xu Mu’s power.

They all had an understanding of Sword Offering Boot Boy’s strength, it wouldn’t be so inferior. Aside from Lu Jingkong, there wasn’t anyone present who dared say they could kill him, let alone wound him so easily as Xu Mu had done.

The power Xu Mu displayed had far surpassed the Nascent Soul Stage.

At this moment, they finally realized why Lu Jingkong had such faith in Xu Mu.

Could this fellow have already reached the Divinity Transformation Stage?

The events in the Inner Sea were known in the Outer Sea as well, though somewhat later.

They had some understanding of Xu Mu’s situation, but they never thought he would be this powerful.

That earth-shattering explosion, could it have been the result of his battle with another cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Stage?

From that moment on, nobody underestimated Xu Mu anymore.

The recent combat demonstration was probably a show of force.

“I don’t like people who talk too much when I do things. If someone talks too much, I usually don’t show mercy.” Xu Mu smiled as he looked around.

Under his gaze and pressure, they could not help but force smiles on their faces, including True Monarch Stepping Waves and True Monarch Ghost Weeping.

In this world, there are no really aloof people, only those who pretend to be aloof.

“Since everyone has no objection to Friend Xu’s strength, let’s discuss how to deal with the Sea Race. What do you all think?” Lu Jingkong looked around and asked.

“We will follow the instructions of the Alliance Hierarch and Friend Xu!” everyone said in unison.

The Shapeshifting True Lord – like the Sword Offering Boot Boy, a bit too talkative – was unusually quiet at this moment.

They had the nerve to offend a cultivator in the later stage of the Nascent Soul period, but they definitely didn’t have the courage to offend a cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Since they couldn’t afford to offend them, and this matter had benefits for them, naturally they had no reason to oppose it.

However, it would be unlikely for them to risk their lives. Internally, they were already planning to flee at the slightest sign of danger.

…

With the arrival of Xu Mu, the Outer Sea cultivators, who were originally constantly on the run, suddenly deviated from their usual behavior. They took the initiative to attack and continuously achieved victories. Their unpredictable actions were baffling.

The Sea Race had never really taken the Outer Sea cultivators seriously, even with the presence of Lu Jingkong, a significant cultivator in the later stage of the Nascent Soul period.

That’s because the power of the Sea Race far exceeded that of the Human Clan, with the number of cultivators in the Nascent Soul and Golden Core Stages being three times that of the Human Clan.

Without the limitations of their environment and without the powerful trump card the Cluster Stars Sect held, the Human Clan would not be able to stand their ground at sea.

Especially so for the Outer Sea, which served as a buffer zone.

Typically, they were incapable of resistance and would easily collapse with a single encounter.

The war wouldn’t truly begin until the Inner Sea cultivators entered the fray.

The Outer Sea cultivators wanting to form an alliance now, to unite their forces, was an unacceptable situation for both sides. Therefore, the Sea Race is determined to win this war.

Because the Inner Sea cultivators absolutely wouldn’t participate, at least not until the Outer Sea Alliance dissolved.

Thus, the Sea Race launched a daring attack this time, abandoning their usual caution. However, they didn’t anticipate the Outer Sea cultivators deviating from their usual behavior, not only initiating an attack but also demonstrating powerful strength, causing the leading troops to continuously retreat in defeat.

This was the first time such a situation had occurred, where the Sea Race was repelled without the intervention of the Inner Sea cultivators.

Naturally, the Sea Race wasn’t willing to take such a huge loss. They directly assembled a large army to encircle and annihilate the Outer Sea cultivators. It looked like they wanted to exterminate the Outer Sea cultivators completely.

This was also a first.

Past wars had mostly been clashes between the mid to high-ranking officials. Lower rank beings had a back and forth dynamic, where the Sea Race would raid resources and leave, without causing much carnage.

But their actions now suggested a complete extermination of their enemies, which was unprecedented.

Just when the mighty Sea Race army was about to move out, the Outer Sea cultivators launched a preemptive attack. Over thirty Nascent Souls participated in this battle, the most in thousands of years.

What was even more unexpected was that the battle ended with the victory of the Outer Sea cultivators once again.

When the result of the battle was announced, it wasn’t just the Human Clan that was stunned; the Sea Race was also in shock.

The Outer Sea cultivators were greatly encouraged, demonstrating unprecedented unity. Furthermore, due to this battle, a strong order was quickly established in the previously chaotic Outer Sea. With the advantages of resources from both sides, they immediately demonstrated a vigorous vitality.

In any era, as long as the borders are peaceful and trade is unimpeded, that place will definitely become the most prosperous.

This was the situation everyone desired. The Outer Sea had been in chaos for too long. Apart from a few cultivators with perverse natures, most people wished for peace to arrive.

Because only peace can bring prosperity and stability.

Yet everyone knew that this was but a fleeting moment of glory.

The Sea Race would never accept such a huge loss!

The lower ranks of the Human Clan might wish for peace, but what the upper echelons thought, no one knew.

Because the Outer Sea involved too many interests, it was impossible to lose control over it.

Now everyone was waiting, waiting for the Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Sea Race to strike, and break this alliance that appeared to be powerful, steadfast, and possessing vast potential.

…

Within the deep sea, massive waves surged like a world-ending cataclysm.

Xu Mu stood alone in the realm of nothingness, as if waiting for something.

The next moment, the sky and earth changed color. An endless lightning storm darted across the sky, transforming into horrifying lightning dragons that assaulted Xu Mu from all directions.

Xu Mu spread the wings of his Kun Peng form, his figure fleeting as he darted through the barrage of lightning dragons, much like dancing on a tightrope, skillfully evading all attacks.

A loud roar came!

Just then, a colossal whale leaped out from the seabed sending waves crashing ashore. The thunderous sound rang in the air as it opened its terrifying mouth, swallowing the sky filled with lightning dragons and clouds in one gulp.
