Su Mu stepped on the water surface, walked to the spot where the water had just splashed, and reached into the water.
He grabbed sothing.
With a strong pull, he lifted it out of the water and discovered it was a giant water dragonfly, almost too large to hold with one hand.
Upon closer inspection, the dragonfly’s wings were as thin as cicada wings, with beautiful purple patterns etched on them. Its tail was long, with gold ring-like markings perfectly proportioned around it, and its pupils were bluish-purple.
However, Su Mu noticed that this dragonfly seed to have no signs of life?
With a gentle squeeze, he found that the dragonfly was hollow inside, effortlessly flattening it like a balloon. It was then he realized this was just an empty shell of a dragonfly.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu displayed a look of surprise. Was the commotion in the water just caused by this empty shell?
However, this empty shell clearly couldn’t have moved on its own; it seed a bit strange.
Additionally, Su Mu was sure that it didn’t escape; if it managed to flee in the river he guarded, then Su Mu might as well quit being a River Guardian.
He had seen snakes shed their skin and golden cicadas shed their shells, but never had he seen a dragonfly shed its shell.
Now, Su Mu lost his target and had no outlet for his unnad frustration, feeling extrely uncomfortable.
Nevertheless, Su Mu kept the empty shell of this dragonfly, suspecting that the damage to his fishing net might have been caused by this water dragonfly’s real body.
Next ti it better not let him find it, or it would remind him of a hotown delicacy: skewers, charcoal-grilled grasshoppers, charcoal-grilled dragonflies!
With that, Su Mu took the damaged fishing nets and traps back ho.
As he walked past the willow trees, he noticed the Little Monkey hanging upside down with its eyes closed, looking defiant; it just so happened that he needed a place to vent his anger.
Su Mu pulled out a whip and struck the Little Monkey with a lightning-fast five-whip combo, resulting in five pig-like squeals.
As for why it sounded like pig squeals, those in the know understood.
The Little Monkey stood silently, enduring the pain.
After applying those five lashes, Su Mu’s mood improved significantly.
...
Su Mu took out a large pile of materials from his Space Ring.
These materials were no ordinary ones; they were obtained over the past two years through looting, raffles, or found during patrols. They were sturdy, suitable for making fishing nets, traps, and more.
He picked up needle and thread and started sewing. Despite Su Mu’s burly build, he exhibited the craftsmanship of a master in sewing.
Thus, after working diligently for two full hours, he finally managed to repair the holes in three fishing nets.
There were still twenty traps left, which would take another ten hours or so; it would be best to repair one or two a day, as spending an entire day repairing them wasn’t feasible.
...
anwhile, in the Great Woe Immortal Realm.
In the Central Domain, above a ruined ancient city.
Dark clouds pressed down on the city, the ground cracked, mountain ranges were forcibly cleaved into canyon-like chasms, and the void was struck with crack after crack, producing strong space turbulence, while space fragnts turned into streams of light, scattering into the void.
At this mont, a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe, holding a tripod-shaped Dharma Seal, stood in the void above the ancient city. Wisps of golden Divine Astral Power ford an illusory golden Dharma Aspect, swirling and gathering around him.
His re presence represented the supremacy of this realm.
This ordinary-looking Daoist-robed middle-aged man, holding the Dharma Seal, was the Domain Master of the Great Woe Immortal Realm, Zhao Gusheng!
Opposite him in the void, a man in a gray robe stood atop a Black Dragon, spiraling in the air, standing facing Zhao Gusheng.
This was once Central Sacred City in the Central Domain, now reduced to ruins. However, only a fraction of the corpses could be seen in the city; for the millions of city residents, these hundreds of thousands of corpses were not much, as they were Zhao Gusheng’s valued subordinates.
The third brother had not wantonly slaughtered the innocent, for this Central Sacred City was indeed the number one Sacred City of the Great Woe Immortal Realm, gathering the top talents of the realm. Many were from ancient, neutral Great Immortal races, so there was no need to kill them.
Thus, before the battle, he had already evacuated the city’s residents.
Because he had already fully controlled the forces under the Four Great Realm Masters, he had long since rendered Zhao Gusheng, the Domain Master, powerless.
Naturally, there were those cultivators not under Zhao Gusheng’s command who were unwilling to leave; the third brother naturally didn’t mind killing them too.
....
Zhao Gusheng truly lived up to being the Domain Master of the Great Woe Immortal Realm, with trump cards aplenty, holding out for three days already.
Although the third brother was uninjured, his energy was significantly depleted, and Zhao Gusheng’s divine techniques were peculiarly mysterious, despite being suppressed by arrays he had long laid out in the Great Woe Immortal Realm.
However, Zhao Gusheng’s divine techniques could manipulate the world’s core of the Great Woe Immortal Realm, unaffected by the arrays, even continually channeling Spiritual Power to him from the entire realm.
It seems Zhao Gusheng didn’t waste his years as Domain Master.
Dragging on like this would be highly unfavorable for the third brother and his n.
For earlier, he had deduced that Zhao Gusheng had sohow co into contact with aura from another world, a highly advanced world, likely a Divine Domain.
If he were allowed to stall for reinforcents, their efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, the third brother decided not to delay any further.
"Big brother, please lend a hand!"
With those words uttered.
The Black Dragon transford into a pitch-black Long Dragon Saber, grasped by the third brother.
At this mont, the third brother’s aura erupted, causing the entire Immortal Realm to shudder slightly....
Witnessing the change in the gray-robed man’s aura, Zhao Gusheng also took a sharp breath, burning a portion of his vital energy, causing a montary burst of golden light. The Tripod Seal in his hand began to enlarge rapidly, reaching the size of an entire city, floating above him like a sun, illuminating half of the Immortal Realm.....
At this mont, countless cultivators across the Immortal Realm raised their heads, gazing in fear at the epic battle in the void above.
This battle concerned the dominion over the Great Woe Immortal Realm and whether a revolution was imminent.
....
"Despicable invaders, go to hell!"
Zhao Gusheng waved his hand, launching the Tripod Seal towards the gray-robed man.
In an instant, the sky of the Immortal Realm began to shatter continuously....
At this mont, all beings wailed, and the entire Immortal Realm trembled.
Seeing the Tripod Seal closing in to annihilate him, the third brother revealed a look of excitent, as it had been so long... so long since he’d encountered a battle that brought him such joy!
Holding the Black Dragon Long Saber, the terrifying black glow intertwined around the blade; with both hands gripping tightly, he slashed towards the incoming Tripod Seal.
Rumble—
The sound of the collision echoed throughout the whole Immortal Realm.
The land of the Great Woe Immortal Realm was forcibly split into two pieces under the intense collision.
The Tripod Seal was directly shattered into powdery fragnts, completely dissipating into nothingness....
Zhao Gusheng spat out fresh blood, kneeling on one knee in the void, clutching his chest, his expression pained, with his vitality reduced to the barest of levels.
At this mont, he slowly took out the brocade bag left by his senior brother from his sleeve.
....
