Chapter 1389: Chapter 1252: Cliff Fissures, Second Demon Tomb! Chapter 1389: Chapter 1252: Cliff Fissures, Second Demon Tomb! The hierarchy of the island was distinct, and Chu Mu and the others were gradually nearing the second-tier strength-level Demon Tomb.
From a great distance, Chu Mu could already see an even taller and more majestic cliff!
The scenery above the cliff was out of sight, as the steep and vertical cliff extended into the upper end of the cloud sea, suggesting that the Demon Tomb Inner Island was likely an island in the sky, truly a fairyland.
The closer they got to the second Demon Tomb, the heavier Chu Mu’s heart felt. He knew Ye was not far from him now, but the thought of seeing him motionless, devoid of any signs of life, made him feel increasingly uneasy.
“Young Master, the cliff of this Inner Island Demon Tomb is impassable,” Fox Elder said.
“Why?” Chu Mu asked.
“The cliff is extrely high, and the creatures perched on it are all at least of the Emperor level, numbering in the tens of thousands. Besides, I just discovered that every two thousand ters climbed, there appears a Dominator-level creature, with a strength around the upper mid-Dominator Level.”
“Young Master, a thousand Emperors are enough to pose a threat to High Master Level creatures, let alone tens of thousands of Emperor creatures… I’ve estimated roughly that to directly pass through this second cliff, one would need to possess at least Undying Level strength,” Fox Elder said.
“Is Undying Level the level that surpasses the Dominator Level?” Chu Mu asked.
“Yeah, this level actually has many nas: Heavenly Lifespan Level, Pilgrim Saint Level, Transcending Immortals Level, Eternal Level… The so-called Heavenly Lifespan ans that creatures of this level already possess a lifespan as long as the heavens. Pilgrim Saint refers to their ruling status, as they rule not empires, but a vast Soul Pet Dynasty…” Fox Elder said.
“Does Immortal an they cannot die?” Chu Mu asked.
Fox Elder extended a finger and shook it, saying, “Immortal is immortal, and undying is undying. Immortal Level creatures have long lifespans, and without major accidents, they generally live for thousands to tens of thousands of years. Heavenly Lifespan is just a hyperbolic na, but Immortal is real; after they die, their bodies do not decay, and buried over eternity, they persist because no parasitic organism on this world can decompose their bodies.”
“Legend says that after Immortal Level creatures die, if a suitable burial ground is found, after a long death slumber, they might even co back to life. Is that true?” Princess Jinrou on the side said.
Fox Elder nodded and replied, “That is true, though not all Immortal Level creatures can achieve this.”
“So, the so-called Undying is a level above the Immortal?” Chu Mu asked.
Immortal Level was a domain Chu Mu had not even touched; his current stature was like the giant majestic Demon Tomb lying before him; even looking up to it exerted enormous pressure.
And what kind of power would Immortal Level creatures possess? Chu Mu was eager to know at this mont.
“Yes, Undying Level is almost referred to as the God Level. In history and human cognition, only five creatures have reached this level…”
“Netherworld, Huangquan, Nine Netherworlds, Hell, Naihe,” Chu Mu slowly recited the nas of these five great undying legends.
Previously, Chu Mu knew only that the five great undying legends were powerful, but now, with a complete hierarchy comparison, Chu Mu recognized their power more clearly!
“Let’s not talk about those far reaches yet, Chu Mu, is your Soul Pet in this second Demon Tomb?” Xia Zhixian interrupted their conversation.
To challenge the second Demon Tomb, the Demon Spirits needed at least to be at High Master Level. Moreover, from the words of Fox Elder just now, forcibly challenging the second Demon Tomb cliff was outright impossible without reaching Immortal Level.
“Chu Mu, has Ye reached High Master Level?” Princess Jinrou asked.
“Should have,” Chu Mu nodded.
The resources within the Demon Tomb were imnse, and Ye, being a Wandering Spirit, could significantly enhance its strength even without seizing Xuan Objects.
And since Ye was challenging the second Demon Tomb, it largely indicated that the resources of Demon Tomb Central Island no longer sufficed for its power enhancents!
For Ye to step into this level, Chu Mu himself found it incredible, especially since he had been challenging the second Demon Tomb for so ti, even before Chu Mu had reached High Master Level.
“This Demon Tomb is both the hell and heaven for Demon Spirits, as surviving here can unimaginably enhance one’s strength…” Fox Elder said.
“But it hasn’t reached Immortal Level, so why would it challenge this second Demon Tomb?” Princess Jinrou said, perplexed.
“The king in its heart…” Chu Mu murmured to himself.
Princess Jinrou looked at Chu Mu, still puzzled. Chu Mu’s face revealed a hint of bitterness, and without another word, he walked towards the cliff.
“Chu Mu, that cliff is too dangerous with our current strength,” Sang Ying urgently called out to Chu Mu.
Just hearing about the tens of thousands of Emperors and many Dominators protecting it, Sang Ying felt a trace of fear rise within him towards the towering cliff, let alone having the courage to challenge it.
“This Demon Tomb cliff isn’t completely impassable, the owner of the island has carved a path through the Demon Tomb cliff, which allows so creatures not yet at Immortal Level to pass, though it’s very hard to find and fraught with looming dangers and slim chances of survival,” Fox Elder said.
Chu Mu had already treaded toward the Demon Tomb cliff, the others had no choice but to follow him.
Chu Mu had already walked alone to the base of the cliff, his hand touching the hard, icy rock.
“It’s inside,” Chu Mu slowly said.
“Inside, you an inside the cliff?” the Morning Crown Prince asked.
“This rock is extrely solid; even Dominator-level strength can only blast so fissures on its surface,” Xia Zhixian said.
“Shall I go in and take a look?” Princess Jinrou’s body floated up, and her ghostly form slowly rged into the solid cliff.
However, as Princess Jinrou’s body entered halfway, she could no longer penetrate deeper, as if sothing was blocking there, preventing even formless ghosts from entering.
“There is a barrier half a ter deep inside this rock,” Princess Jinrou said as she erged, speaking to everyone.
“This must be the path that allows beings other than those at the Immortal Level to pass,” Fox Elder said, stroking his beard.
Chu Mu glanced at Mo Ye on his shoulder, and Mo Ye naturally understood Chu Mu’s intention and jumped down from his shoulder.
“Swish!! Swish!! Swish!! Swish!!”
Four streaks of cold light flashed rapidly, and Little Mo Xie, moving extrely fast, cut out a door-shaped mark on the thick rock.
Then, with a single breath, Mo Ye shattered the door-shaped rock inside.
The rock shattered, revealing a brown energy barrier at the half-ter depth, obstructing the view.
“This barrier is pretty strong…” Sang Ying remarked.
At that mont, Mo Ye had already stepped forward, reaching the location of the barrier, and gently scratched it with his claws.
“Tear~~~~~~~~”
The barrier was easily torn open, like a piece of brown paper, and Mo Ye hardly exerted any effort.
Leng Chuan, Princess Jinrou, and Xia Zhixian were unsurprised, while Sang Ying opened his mouth wide and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
“Woo woo woo~~~~~~~”
After tearing the barrier, Mo Ye turned around and told Chu Mu that the area inside the barrier was empty, with a dark passage that could be traversed.
Chu Mu walked in and discovered that inside the barrier was not a cave but a long fissure from the exterior to the interior of the cliff, wider at the bottom and gradually closing at the top.
The fissure extended deeper into the cliff, appearing to lead sowhere.
Chu Mu began to explore further inside while Little Mo Xie, having completed his task, jumped back onto Chu Mu’s shoulder, cuddling up around Chu Mu’s neck with his tail and squinting as if about to sleep.
Chu Mu looked at the little creature climbing back up to sleep and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Chu Mu flicked Mo Ye’s forehead and said, “What have you beco so lazy for? Stop napping and go scout ahead.”
“Woo woo woo woo~~~~~~~”
Reluctantly, Mo Ye leaped down, his body flaring with purple flas, listlessly leading the way ahead.
“There’s sure to be a powerful creature inside; that’s when you’ll take action,” Chu Mu added.
The silver in Mo Ye’s eyes imdiately lit up, and his steps were no longer flimsy as he trotted with his nine little tails toward the deeper fissures in the cliff.
“Chu Mu, your little pet is really interesting,” Sang Ying said with a laugh.
“Little pet?” Xia Zhixian turned her head and looked at Sang Ying with puzzlent.
Sang Ying felt baffled, and when he noticed the Morning Crown Prince also looking his way, he touched his forehead and said, “Did I say sothing wrong?
The term small pet generally refers to weak soul pets that aren’t capable of fighting, usually kept for ornantation or so special purposes.
Since eting Chu Mu, this seemingly sleepy little creature had spent most of its ti on Chu Mu’s shoulders. In the biological world, creatures that look innocent, harmless, mini, and adorable generally don’t possess fighting capabilities; they survive through the protection granted by their appearance and the stronger creatures around them.
Sang Ying had never seen Chu Mu’s little fox battle and naturally assud it was just a pet Chu Mu kept to pass the ti.
“The little pet you ntioned just effortlessly thrashed the Seventh-level Earth Territory Realm Lord, Li Xu,” the Morning Crown Prince said.
“The Nine-Tailed Fox Sovereign?” Sang Ying startled, then said in amazent.
Sang Ying recalled rumors that Chu Mu indeed had a suprely strong fox sovereign with nine tails that triumphed overwhelmingly over the Seventh-level Earth Territory Realm Lord in a lone battle!
When Sang Ying saw Mo Ye easily slicing through the rock and barrier earlier, he mistook the usually-sleeping little creature on Chu Mu’s shoulder for just a specially-abled pet, and had no idea that this adorably delicate little fox was the wildly famous Nine-Tailed Fox Sovereign in the Cloud Realm!
