Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age - Chapter 518

Chapter 518: Chapter 475: Split Sky_1

The power of the Sky-splitting Halberd was self-evident.

Throughout their journey, nothing could stand against its rapid cuts in the hand of Xu Mu.

Yet, this was not an apt demonstration of its true power; it was only being used like a regular weapon.

Xu Mu had never tapped into the real capabilities of the Sky-splitting Halberd.

The reason was simple: the Sky-splitting Halberd was a high-level weapon that Xu Mu was unable to refine.

According to the initial conversation among the puppets, the Sky-splitting Halberd was definitely used by the Immortals as an Immortal Artifact. It was ranked significantly higher.

The difference between a single stage of cultivation was already huge. Between several stages, particularly between cultivators and Immortals, the difference was nearly unthinkable.

Xu Mu had encountered three True Spirits, each of them inconceivably powerful. Yet these truly incredible True Spirits still lag far behind the lowest-ranked True Immortals.

One can envision the immense power of the Immortal Artifact used by those Immortals.

Xu Mu even suspected that this Sky-splitting Halberd was no ordinary Immortal Artifact, but rather, an extraordinary existence within them.

The formation that originally sealed the three-headed bird did not seem to be something an ordinary person could set up. Yet Xu Mu, merely relying on the sharpness intrinsic to the Sky-splitting Halberd, was able to break it, showcasing the exceptional nature of the weapon.

Xu Mu harbored both love and resentment towards the Sky-splitting Halberd.

He loved it for its formidable power and endless potential. He resented it for his inability to refine it and tap into its true might.

Without needing to consider much, he knew that a slight release of its power would drastically revolutionize his own abilities.

Xu Mu initially thought he might be able to refine it upon reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage.

However, it was exceedingly difficult to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage, definitely not something achievable in a short amount of time.

Now that his physical body has reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, the Martial Method he cultivates doesn’t provide a means to refine magic artifacts due to its peculiarity.

With just the power innate to his body, he was unsure whether he could stimulate the power of the Sky-splitting Halberd.

He could only hold onto his expectation and give it a try.

If he succeeds, then all the better. If he can’t, there would be no loss.

Even with the sharpened edge of the Sky-splitting Halberd alone, it has already provided him with much assistance.

Resolute in his decision, Xu Mu took out the Sky-splitting Halberd, mobilized all of his strength, accumulated energy, and when his state was at its peak, he fiercely chopped forward with the Sky-splitting Halberd.

Hum!

Contrary to the scene of earth-shattering devastation he imagined and the splitting of the sea waters that he had effortlessly achieved earlier, nothing happened.

Not even the water showed the slightest bit of rippling as if the Sky-splitting Halberd did not exist.

However, Xu Mu keenly sensed the fluctuations in the void and the slight rippling it caused.

In the area directly in front of the Sky-splitting Halberd, everything—water, fish, stones—disappeared soundlessly.

This abrupt vanishing did not cause any reaction in its surroundings, looking extremely eerie.

Xu Mu, upon witnessing this scene, widened his eyes and his heart pounded furiously.

This silent attack method was something he only witnessed once, on the divine clone.

It was a fluctuation in space, the usage of real spatial power.

Those below the Refining Void stage simply couldn’t counter such an attack. What was more fearsome was its silence. During an attack, space would absorb all the leaked energy.

In other words, it wasn’t that his attack wasn’t powerful enough, but rather, it was excessively powerful, having reached a whole new level.

After multiple attempts, Xu Mu found that he needed to mobilize seventy to eighty percent of his strength to trigger an attack that influenced the space.

The power of space can only be controlled at the stage of Refining Void. If this strike lands on one, even a late-stage Divinity Transformation might struggle.

However, there aren’t any fools who can cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Stage. The opponent will not just stand there and let him attack.

Moreover, after reaching the Divinity Transformation stage, with a powerful spiritual force and the formation of the primordial spirit, one’s perception is extremely sharp. As long as they sense something wrong, they would react immediately and flee.

With Xu Mu’s current cultivation and speed, it might not be easy to catch up with them.

Furthermore, fights between cultivators often do not resort to upgrading. High probability is using magic artifacts and divine abilities. It is extremely difficult for Xu Mu to attack opponent’s body using Sky-splitting Halberd.

But no matter what, this is a new trump card for him.

As long as this trump card is used well, it can definitely have an unexpected effect.

Also, don’t forget one thing.

Xu Mu can teleport instantly. If the two were combined, even a Divinity Transformation cultivator would have a hard time handling it.

“Even if my current strength is not equivalent to an early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator, it can’t be much less.”

The reason he said this was not out of modesty. It was because the Ten Thousand Tribulation True Body technique he practiced was somewhat special. It was different from ordinary body refining techniques. Though it seemed miraculous, it still lacked power.

The Divine Beings that created this technique fundamentally only desired to create a shell capable of bearing their powerful souls.

Therefore, they did not take its power into consideration, focusing more on its bearing capacity. This is why it possesses the freakish ability of rebirth from a drop of blood.

Regardless, this trip was a complete success in terms of increasing his cultivation.

Xu Mu became accustomed to his body and adjusted to the outside gravity for a moment, then transformed into an Escape Light and headed towards the main base in the Outer Sea.

He flew along, releasing his Divine Intent to observe his surroundings.

Now that the Outer Sea, under his administration, had signed a non-aggression treaty with the Sea Race and opened up trade routes and cities, it had not only totally recovered its peace but was also thriving.

Large amounts of materials that only the Sea Race could produce were transported to the Human clan.

At the same time, many goods that only the Human clan could produce were transported to the Sea Race.

Their mutual exchange of what the other lacked significantly enriched their resources.

Many cultivators lacking resources broke through their cultivation as a result.

Both the Human Clan and the Sea Race were experiencing a booming prosperity.

And it wasn’t only the Outer Sea; even the Inner Sea was affected.

Previously, they fought each other to gain resources. It seemed like they didn’t spend any money, but in truth, countless resources were lost in terms of lives.

These sacrificed lives were also part of the resources, even more so if properly evaluated for their true worth.

This was still just the beginning. Over time, the benefits for both sides would only be greater.

Now, many people were still in the phase of observation as the situation was quite unusual. Many of them were not reassured, suspecting either that the Human Clan and Sea Race would suddenly turn on each other, or the Cluster Stars Sect would strike suddenly, disrupting the situation, even possibly holding them accountable later.

If it continues to proceed smoothly, a second surge would definitely arrive within a century.

As the first to lead the way, the Outer Sea Alliance undeniably benefitted the most.
