A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 130 Mysterious Cultivator

The group's original plan was to capture the mutated whale-kun, but the giant turtle was also a rare and exotic species, so they certainly couldn't miss the opportunity since they had seen it.

Liu Kun bowed and accepted the order. His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals. The spiritual energy around him surged into the spirit pillar like a tide, making the runes on the net even more dazzling. The silver light locked the mutated whale-kun tightly.

Seeing that it was in deep danger, the demon went berserk. Its protective demonic power surged, and with a wide-open mouth, it sucked in a large amount of seawater from the surrounding area.

"Oh no! We must dodge this demon's next attack. Don't even think about using magic weapons to tank it."

Seeing the demon's reaction, Liu Kun knew what its next attack method would be.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the opponent simply inhales a large amount of seawater into their body and then spews it out. Due to the compression of their internal spatial abilities, the seawater they spew out is so powerful that most magical artifacts would suffer a significant loss of spiritual energy upon contact, leaving them no choice but to dodge.

Just as Luo Ming and the others were on high alert, preparing for the whale-kun's powerful attack, dozens of miles away, Tian Wuzi had already caught up with the giant turtle that was trying to escape.

With a flick of his right hand, Tian Wuzi revealed an ancient, cyan ruler in his palm. The ruler was engraved with auspicious cloud and wave patterns and was surrounded by a thick aura of water-based spiritual energy. It was his natal magic weapon—the Spirit Suppressing Ruler.

"You beast, since you refuse to surrender, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Before he finished speaking, Tian Wuzi flicked his wrist, and the Spirit Suppressing Ruler suddenly transformed into a length of tens of feet, carrying the overwhelming power of Mount Tai pressing down, and smashed fiercely towards the giant turtle's head.

Under the infusion of the Nascent Soul cultivator's magic power, the seawater around the figure was forced to boil violently, forming a visible ripple that spread outwards.

Upon seeing this, the giant turtle let out a rapid roar, and its earthy yellow light suddenly surged. All the ancient runes on its shell lit up, and a semi-transparent earthy yellow light shield spread from the surface of the shell. The light shield was filled with ancient fluctuations that were of the same origin as the giant turtle's aura—it was its innate defensive divine power.

This supernatural power is an innate life-saving technique of the giant turtle clan, with incomparably strong defensive capabilities, making it difficult for ordinary magic weapons to break through.

"Bang--!"

The Spirit Suppressing Ruler, carrying immense force, slammed into the Xuanjia Qi. The violent spiritual energy exploded instantly, causing the surrounding seawater to churn violently, forming a huge whirlpool with a diameter of a hundred feet. Rock fragments and undercurrents swept in all directions.

However, the Xuanjia Qi only trembled slightly a few times, and the light shield remained intact, successfully withstanding the attack from the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Tian Wuzi raised an eyebrow, clearly somewhat surprised by the giant turtle's strong defense.

His hand seals changed again, and the wave patterns on the Spirit Suppressing Ruler became clearer. A powerful water-based magic flowed into it continuously, making the ruler shine even brighter. He slammed down several rulers in succession, each strike containing earth-shattering power.

No matter how the Spirit Suppressing Ruler bombarded the giant turtle, which was driven dozens of feet into the ground, its layer of Xuanjia Qi remained as stable as Mount Tai, and it was difficult to break through its defenses for a time.

This tortoise clearly knew that when facing a human Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it shouldn't even think about running away; its only option was to rely on its innate defensive abilities to withstand the attack.

However, no matter how powerful a level seven demon beast is, how long can it withstand a human Nascent Soul stage expert?

Before long, blood began to slowly seep from the corner of the giant turtle's mouth. Clearly, the giant turtle had not been able to withstand all of Tian Wuzi's attacks, and had suffered internal injuries.

However, the fact that it could withstand the onslaught of a Nascent Soul cultivator for so long is enough to demonstrate the strength of the giant turtle's defense.

On the other side, Liu Kun and the others activated the Spirit-Binding Pouch while dodging the attacks of the mutated whale-kun. The whale charged left and right inside, but could not escape.

If this continues, the two powerful level-seven peak demonic beasts will soon be captured.

Just then, a very well-hidden cyan sword light flashed and disappeared.

The cyan sword light pierced fiercely into one of the spirit pillars! The pillar's radiance dimmed rapidly like a receding tide, and a clear crack appeared on its surface! It then collapsed.

"There are still people hiding here?" Luo Ming's heart skipped a beat, but he was more pleased than surprised.

The ever-flowing silver light on the Spirit-Trapping Pouch suddenly became chaotic, and a large number of runes in the southeast corner instantly went out. The originally seamless giant net of spiritual light suddenly developed a clear, dark gap!

"roar!!!"

The mutated whale, which had been trapped for a long time, had been looking for an opportunity to break free. Seeing this, it no longer hesitated.

Almost at the same moment the Spirit-Binding Pouch showed a flaw, it unleashed its pent-up, terrifying power! The dark gold patterns blazed as if burning, and its massive body struggled violently! The net binding the flaw cracked under the strain!

"How dare you!" Liu Kun, who was standing to the side, was both shocked and furious. He had just broken free from the vortex's restraints when he saw that the magic weapon was damaged and the whale was about to escape. He was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits and hurriedly tried to repair it by desperately activating his magic power.

However, it was too late!

"Snap!"

Several main net strands in the southeast corner snapped instantly! The binding power of the Spirit-Binding Pouch weakened dramatically! The whale-like giant tail lashed out with overwhelming force, slamming hard into the damaged net!

"Boom!"

The silver light exploded, and the newly forged and precious magic treasure, the Spirit-Trapping Pouch, was actually torn open with a huge gap of tens of feet! The whale-kun let out a roar mixed with pain and rage, and its huge body shot out from the gap like an arrow!

The moment it was freed, it didn't forget to turn its head, and a smaller but more condensed wave of sound from the shattered sea swept fiercely towards Liu Kun who was nearby!

"Pfft!" Liu Kun was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the residual force of the sound wave. His protective spiritual light flickered violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura immediately weakened.

"Damn it! Who dares to ruin my magic weapon?!"

Tian Wuzi, who was locked in a stalemate with the giant turtle in the distance, was furious. He had just finished refining that magic weapon using a large amount of rare materials, but it was destroyed without his knowledge.

With a single blow, the Zhenyue Ruler struck the giant turtle, then abruptly turned its head, its icy gaze instantly locking onto the unusually flowing water!

"You cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, get out here!"

Before he could finish speaking, just as he was about to unleash his magic weapon to attack, the invisible barrier beside the stream suddenly shattered, and a black shadow shot out like a ghost, moving with incredible speed, fleeing into the distance.

"Let me see who you are!" Tian Wuzi laughed in anger, no longer caring about the heavily injured giant turtle. With a blur, he transformed into a white streak and chased after it.

In that split second, how could Luo Ming dare to linger?

Now that the two giant creatures are free from the suppression of the Nascent Soul cultivator, and are in the deep sea, the combined strength of the giant turtle and the whale is such that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be helpless against them if there were no means of restraint.

"run!"

Without hesitation, Luo Ming used the secret technique of his natal spirit beast to unleash a water escape technique, transforming into a shadowy figure and rapidly moving away.

Liu Kun and the others then realized what was happening and used various methods to escape the area. If they were to be entangled by these two crazed giants, they would almost certainly die in the deep sea.

Whether by coincidence or not, the direction in which they fled was all following behind Luo Ming.

"These people are definitely suspicious. If it weren't for that mysterious cultivator's intervention, I really wouldn't know how we would have gotten away."

"Splash!"

Relying on his water escape technique, Luo Ming was the first to escape to the surface. Seeing that no one was around, he immediately used his Wind Escape Shuttle to transform into a streak of green and disappeared into the distance.
