Chapter 937
We are all fellow sufferers
The abyss is actually a continent.
It is vast and boundless.
Xuanwu trailed far behind Su Mu and the black dragon Ao Kun.
It was also somewhat curious about where Su Mu was taking the black dragon Ao Kun.
Its enormous body walked on the road, and every step it took caused the earth to tremble and produce a booming sound.
Although it is the leader of the abyssal creatures, it doesn't even know how big the abyss really is.
It is lazy by nature, and unless there are special circumstances, it can lie in one place for years without moving.
Explore the boundaries of the abyss?
That's not its interest.
So now it doesn't know where Su Mu is going, or what lies ahead.
At this moment, it couldn't help but wonder if this abyss really had a portal to other places.
That shouldn't be the case.
The stargate that suddenly appeared earlier was the only one it had ever seen in all its years of life.
It had never heard of any other stargates existing in the Abyss.
Xuanwu doesn't like to wander around, but there are countless creatures in this abyss, and among the other abyssal creatures, there are some that like to wander around.
Even when it's sleeping, it likes to send out a wisp of its divine sense to eavesdrop on the conversations of the abyssal creatures.
Its method of controlling and understanding the abyss came from eavesdropping.
Although Xuanwu was puzzled, it was just watching the show and wasn't in a hurry.
Black Dragon Ao Kun was getting a little anxious.
It has unleashed its trump card, and now its body is like a burst dam, with its internal power flowing out wildly.
Almost every breath it becomes weaker than the last.
Every moment of delay increases the danger of its death.
How could it not be anxious?
"Su Mu, why haven't we arrived yet?"
Where exactly is the passage?
Black Dragon Ao Kun asked impatiently, "Tell me the location, and I'll fly you there!"
"You think I fly slower than you?"
Su Mu glanced at the black dragon Ao Kun.
Of course, he could see the changes in Heilong Aokun's condition.
To be honest, Su Mu didn't want to kill Black Dragon Ao Kun.
But there was nothing he could do.
He really didn't know how to get Heilong Aokun home.
He can only stall for time as much as possible now.
He could see that if he delayed any longer, Black Dragon Ao Kun's cultivation level would drop to a certain level.
At that time, Ao Kun's trump card will be completely rendered useless.
When Ao Kun's trump card no longer threatens Su Mu, Su Mu can do whatever he wants, whether he advances or retreats at will.
He has never been threatened by anyone in his life, so how could Black Dragon Ao Kun be an exception?
“Ao Kun, if you think going home is so easy, then you don’t need to ask me. You can do it yourself.”
Su Mu snorted coldly, "Since you're begging me, then follow my rules."
I'm not afraid to tell you, opening a stargate isn't as easy as you think.
Especially since the spatial barriers in your universe are so thick, it's impossible for ordinary forces to open a passage.
Heilong Aokun was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
It certainly knew it wouldn't be that easy.
If it were easy, it would have gone back long ago.
Before encountering Su Mu, it had tried to do it on its own, but all attempts failed. Finally, out of desperation, it resorted to sleeping to prolong its death.
"Su Mu, my tone was a bit harsh just now."
Heilong Aokun took a deep breath and said, "I'm not rushing you, I'm just really anxious."
You see, although we haven't known each other for long, we hit it off immediately.
These days, I've been pretty much following your every word, haven't I?
You asked me to fight abyssal creatures, and I didn't hesitate.
Look at how I beat these abyssal creatures to a pulp; they'll never dare to mess with you again.
I have no other requests, I just want to go home.
"Since I helped you, please help me out."
Ao Kun's tone was full of pleading.
"Why didn't you adopt this attitude earlier?"
Su Mu sighed and said slowly.
"Now, step back a hundred miles and give me two hours."
He felt somewhat helpless. Now that things had come to this, if he told Black Dragon Ao Kun the truth, Black Dragon Ao Kun would probably go crazy.
Although he has already ordered all the legions of the Great Xuan to withdraw from the abyss, who knows how much destruction the Black Dragon Ao Kun will cause when he goes berserk?
If things go wrong, the destructive force could burst out of the abyss and affect the universe.
For now, we can only try anything as a last resort.
If the Heavenly Emperor can open a star gate, why can't he?
Having spoken frankly and hearing Su Mu's words, the black dragon Ao Kun obeyed and retreated a hundred miles away.
Even when Xuanwu tried to get closer to take a look, it glared at him and drove him away.
Xuanwu stopped awkwardly, looking at Su Mu from afar, his lantern-sized eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.
This is just an ordinary open space, nothing special.
Why did Su Mu stop here?
Could there be some secret here that even you don't know about?
Just then, Xuanwu saw that Su Mu had already sat down cross-legged.
A surge of power emanated from Su Mu's body.
The fluctuation of that power did not spread outward, but remained confined to a certain area.
Along with that surge of power, Xuanwu sensed that the space of the abyss also began to tremble slightly.
The shock was not significant and had no destructive power whatsoever.
Xuanwu didn't understand what Su Mu was trying to do.
It lay down lazily, still looking like it was watching a show.
Black Dragon Ao Kun stared wide-eyed at Su Mu's every move.
It also didn't understand what Su Mu was doing.
But it's better for Su Mu to take some action than not to.
The Shetland Sheepdog is definitely looking for a way back to its homeland.
Su Mu closed his eyes tightly, his divine sense covering a hundred feet around him.
He used his power to shake space, and the feedback from the spatial vibrations was clearly reflected in his mind.
In his mind, he seemed to see the shape of the entire abyss.
It uses the power of spatial resonance to perceive the abyss and can grasp the strength of spatial barriers in all parts of the abyss.
This was a solution that Su Mu came up with on a whim.
The principle behind this method is very simple: it's based on the sound wave resonance that Su Mu learned in his previous life.
But it's not that easy to do.
To shake the space of the abyss with one's own strength is no different from moving a mountain with bare hands.
How can an ordinary person move a mountain?
Similarly, ordinary martial artists would not be able to shake the space of this abyss.
Only Su Mu's current cultivation level could barely accomplish that.
As shockwaves returned, a complete framework gradually took shape in Su Mu's mind.
suddenly.
A flash of inspiration struck him.
"This is the place."
He murmured to himself.
next moment.
Su Mu had already stood up.
"Ao Kun, come with me!"
Su Mu shouted, his figure transforming into a streak of light, shooting off in a direction like lightning.
Swish!
He vanished in an instant.
Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanwu immediately followed.
This move by Su Mu pushed him to his limit.
Apart from the Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanwu, all other abyssal creatures were completely left behind by them.
Just moments later.
Su Mu appeared at a certain location and made his move without hesitation.
Boom!
He punched empty air, and the space instantly cracked like a spiderweb, as if it were glass.
Su Mu snorted coldly and continued to throw punches.
He threw an unknown number of punches in an instant.
The clicking sound echoed in the air.
The black dragon Ao Kun caught up and, seeing this, let out a dragon roar and charged forward.
boom!
The black dragon Ao Kun crashed into those cracks, and a loud cracking sound instantly rang out.
No sooner said than done.
Without the slightest hesitation, the black dragon Ao Kun unleashed its last bit of power.
This is its trump card for survival; a single strike can even kill a Dao Saint Realm expert.
It was this final strike that intimidated Xuanwu and made Su Mu dare not act rashly.
Now, the power of this final blow is being used directly here.
Rumble!
With the power of the black dragon Ao Kun erupting, the spatial barrier finally shattered.
A black hole appeared in the sky.
A powerful suction force emanates from a black hole.
call!
Everything within a radius of several miles was sucked into the black hole.
Trees, rocks, and even the ground.
Black Dragon Ao Kun laughed heartily.
"It's connected! It's connected!"
The massive body of the black dragon Ao Kun was also sucked into the black hole by that suction force, and it couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Not only Black Dragon Ao Kun, but also Su Mu and Xuanwu were sucked into the black hole by that power.
The suction force of the black hole was so great that even with Su Mu and Xuanwu's cultivation levels, they were unable to maintain their balance.
call!
Within moments, the area within several miles was a scene of utter devastation.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe appeared.
The middle-aged man held a whisk and gently swept it.
The black hole was instantly repaired, and everything returned to calm.
The middle-aged man wore a half-smile on his face.
"Interesting, interesting."
He muttered to himself, his figure swayed slightly, and he vanished in an instant, as if he had never existed, leaving no trace.
…………
In the blink of an eye.
Su Mu unleashed his power and shouted, finally managing to steady himself.
With a strong feeling of weightlessness, Su Mu's feet touched solid ground.
He looked around warily.
All around were endless yellow sands, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Black Dragon Ao Kun has disappeared without a trace.
Even Xuanwu (the Black Tortoise) can no longer be seen.
Su Mu frowned slightly, when he suddenly heard the sound of clashing energy coming from afar.
A thought struck him, and he lifted his foot to head in that direction.
Only when he lifted his foot did Su Mu realize that his body felt unusually heavy.
This feeling is the effect of gravity being increased countless times.
The greater the gravity, the more solid the space is.
Otherwise, even the spatial barriers would be torn apart by gravity.
Su Mu didn't pay much attention to it. The world is vast and full of wonders, and every place has its own unique environment.
Even within their own universe, the strength of the spatial barriers varies on different planets.
Besides, he doesn't even know where he's been dragged into now.
He has just used sonic vibrations to find the weakest point in the space within the abyss.
Then he and the Black Dragon Ao Kun joined forces to break through the space.
In theory, once space is breached, a spatial channel will be created, which will lead to other spaces.
But Su Mu really didn't know what was on the other side of the passage.
It was as if he had punched a hole in the wall of an unfamiliar room, and he had no idea what was going on in the next room.
After regaining his composure, Su Mu channeled his power and darted forward, his body skimming along the ground.
A moment later, he climbed up a sand dune and looked up ahead.
In the distance, a colossal, black mountain-like creature was engaged in combat with the enemy.
That colossal, black mountain-like creature was none other than Xuanwu.
Xuanwu roared repeatedly, surrounded by yellow sand and fierce winds.
A sand worm resembling a centipede is attacking Xuanwu.
The centipede-like sandworm was very strong, but the Black Tortoise was even stronger.
As the ruler of the abyss, Xuanwu's strength was such that even Su Mu and the black dragon Ao Kun could not defeat it.
Although this centipede-like sandworm also possessed the strength of a Dao Saint, it was still somewhat inferior to Xuanwu.
Just as Su Mu was observing, Xuanwu unleashed its power, its four hooves pinning down the centipede-like sandworm, its two heads biting the sandworm's head and tail respectively.
With a single tear, the sandworm was split in two.
Blood mixed with entrails was spilled all over the ground, and then quickly buried by yellow sand.
Xuanwu's mouth was full of blood, and it looked ferocious and savage.
It seemed to have heard the noise, and suddenly turned around, its fierce gaze landing on Su Mu.
Only after it clearly saw who Su Mu was did the ferocity in its eyes subside.
It and Su Mu were enemies, not friends, but now, in this place, seeing Su Mu made it feel somewhat familiar.
Where is this place?
Xuanwu spoke, and his voice reached Su Mu's ears.
How would I know?
Su Mu replied.
He looked around but found neither other sandworms nor the black dragon Ao Kun.
Logically, they were sucked in together, so since Xuanwu was nearby, the Black Dragon Ao Kun should also be nearby.
"Why don't you know? Wasn't it you who opened the stargate and pulled us in here?"
Xuanwu Dao.
"You're supposed to be the ruler of the abyss? Don't you know how far your abyss leads?"
Su Mu countered with a question.
Xuanwu, panting heavily, said irritably, "It was you who wanted to send that black dragon Ao Kun home."
Is this the hometown of Ao Kun, the Black Dragon?
Su Mu did not answer, because he did not know either.
If it were before, if he and Xuanwu had met, it would definitely have been a fight to the death.
But now, in an unfamiliar place, the two of them have become acquaintances.
At this moment, neither of them showed any intention of making a move.
Even if we want to resolve the feud between them, we have to figure out where we are first.
This is not a safe place.
The Sacred Sandworm that just attacked Xuanwu has already proven this point.
They encountered a sand worm at the Dao Saint Realm so easily; who knows if there are even more powerful beings in this desert?
Su Mu flew forward and examined the corpse of the sand worm.
"The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, so it doesn't taste good."
The snake head on Xuanwu's back spoke, "It's something I've never eaten before."
Su Mu carefully examined the mutilated corpse from head to toe and came to a similar conclusion.
This sandworm was indeed a species he had never seen before.
"Whether it's Ao Kun's hometown or not, we'll know once we find Ao Kun."
As Su Mu spoke, he raised his hand, and a burst of flames erupted between his hands.
The flames instantly engulfed the sandworm's corpse.
"What do you want to do with it? It's my spoils!"
Xuanwu shouted.
"May I borrow it?"
Su Mu said calmly.
As he spoke, he continued moving, his hands instantly forming countless hand seals.
Amidst the flames, the sand worm's corpse gradually disappeared, replaced by a sand boat.
Su Mu actually used the corpse of that sandworm to forge a boat that could travel in the desert.
Xuanwu muttered silently, "Humans really know how to play."
It won't do those things.
Watching as Su Mu finished crafting the sand boat.
Xuanwu didn't stand on ceremony; it shrunk its size and jumped onto the sand boat.
It lay there so arrogantly on the deck, its glans lowered and its head raised.
"set off!"
The snake's head even made a sound.
Su Mu didn't bother with it.
Su Mu was not at all surprised that Xuanwu wanted to follow him.
In this unfamiliar place, although they were enemies, they were at least acquaintances.
Moreover, they tacitly agreed to put aside their grudges and figure out the situation first.
In this situation, acting together is the safest option for both of them.
With Xuanwu by his side, Su Mu felt much more at ease.
If they were to encounter a formidable enemy that neither of them could defeat, Xuanwu's presence would give him a better chance of survival.
He doesn't need to escape faster than his powerful enemy; he only needs to escape faster than Xuanwu.
Su Mu was quite confident about this.
Xuanwu is enormous, and speed is not its forte.
Xuanwu was unaware that it had become Su Mu's stepping stone. It was still lying on the deck, looking around with its head held high.
But Su Mu is now its boatman.
"Go that way, I sense a powerful aura over there, it could be Ao Kun."
Xuanwu shouted loudly.
It didn't actually feel anything; it was simply enjoying the pleasure of commanding the Sumu.
It is lazy by nature and dislikes moving around.
But now, without it needing to move, Su Mu can drive this sand boat and take it everywhere. How comfortable is that?
Xuanwu felt he had never felt so comfortable in his life.
As if unaware of Xuanwu's intentions, Su Mu steered the sand boat in the direction Xuanwu had indicated.
Anyway, he doesn't have any specific goal right now. He's just exploring around, so it doesn't matter which direction he goes.
The sandboats glided across the yellow sand at great speed, covering dozens of miles in an instant.
They still couldn't see the edge of the desert.
However, the sandstorms gradually intensified.
Fortunately, the sand boat had a defensive array that formed a light barrier, blocking all the yellow sand from the outside.
Xuanwu grew increasingly fond of the sand barge.
suddenly.
A loud bang.
It was as if something had hit the sand barge.
The sand boat, which had been flying close to the ground, suddenly shot into the air and began to tumble repeatedly.
Caught off guard, Xuanwu was thrown off the deck.
A dark shadow shot out from under the yellow sand, heading straight for Xuanwu.
The sand barge, however, appeared as if it had moved sideways, flashing out hundreds of feet away.
Xuanwu was dumbfounded.
Were you thrown out?
Damn it, who ambushed me?
Do you really think your Grandpa Xuanwu is easy to bully?
Die!
Enraged, Xuanwu opened its mouth and spat out a chilling sword aura. (End of Chapter)
