Among the various regions in the Deep Blue World, the Sky Bell Region wasn't considered big, but it wasn't small either.
Within the Sky Bell Region, there was a mountain called the Sky Bell Mountain. It was an extremely famous mountain in the Sky Bell Region. Its outer appearance was like an incomparably huge bell that was placed on the ground. The mountain was two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet tall. The rocks on the mountain had a bronze luster. From afar, it looked like an ancient bronze bell that was pressing down on the ground.
Some of the stronger and more powerful experts in the Sky Bell Region knew that the Sky Bell Mountain wasn't a place that any force could touch. This was because the publicly recognized number one expert in the Sky Bell Region lived on the Sky Bell Mountain. In other words, the Sky Bell Mountain was the expert's residence.
The number one expert in the Sky Bell Region. This name was very frightening. It was a hundred percent deterrent.
A Sword Light was moving at lightning speed. After entering the Sky Bell Region, it headed straight for the Sky Bell Mountain.
From afar, Chu Mu could see the Sky Bell Mountain.
"It's just as the rumors say." Chu Mu saw the outline of the Sky Bell Mountain and whispered.
It was like a huge ancient bronze bell that was buckled on the ground, as if it was suppressing something.
Of course, there had never been any rumors that the Sky Bell Mountain was a treasure. It was just a mountain with a strange appearance and a high copper content. That was all.
The person that Chu Mu was looking for lived on the Sky Bell Mountain.
"I hope he hasn't left." Chu Mu thought to himself. He quickly approached the Sky Bell Mountain and landed on the mountain.
"Is Huang Qu here?" After Chu Mu landed, he released his aura fluctuation. It was equivalent to the peak of the Early Second Refining. It quickly spread out and enveloped the entire Sky Bell Mountain. At the same time, his voice also spread throughout the Sky Bell Mountain.
There was a secret cave on the Sky Bell Mountain called the Sky Bell Cave. The number one expert in the Sky Bell Region, Huang Qu, was cultivating in the Sky Bell Cave.
As the lord of the Sky Bell Mountain, Huang Qu could sense anyone who came to the Sky Bell Mountain. Therefore, when Chu Mu landed on the Sky Bell Mountain, Huang Qu also sensed it. However, he didn't care. In the past, there would be cultivators who came to the Sky Bell Mountain. As long as it didn't affect his cultivation, it was fine.
To Huang Qu's surprise, this person actually came to Tianzhong Mountain for him.
Huang Qu's expression changed slightly when he sensed the aura coming from the other party. It was the aura of someone at the peak of the initial stage of Second Refinement. He wasn't sure why the other party had come looking for him, but that aura showed that the other party's strength made him wary.
Since he had already named himself to look for him, Huang Qu did not continue to quietly train. He took a step forward and his body flashed strangely, directly disappearing from the 'Sky Bell Cave'. In the next breath, he appeared a hundred meters in front of Chu Mu and looked down at Chu Mu from above.
It was as if they had suddenly emerged from the Heaven Bell Mountain.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Huang Qu stood above and looked down at Chu Mu as he asked. His voice was steady and heavy, and it was like a large bell ringing by Chu Mu's ears, buzzing without end.
Huang Qu's height was ordinary, and his appearance was also ordinary. He was wearing a yellow robe, and the skin that was exposed outside of the robe was a bronze color. It was almost the same color as the Heaven Bell Mountain, and it gave people a very simple and calm feeling.
Heavy like a mountain was how it could be described.
"Long story short, Sir Huang Qu has the Essence of Earth, right?" Chu Mu said directly. He didn't plan on feigning civility with Huang Qu. Going straight to the point was the best way.
Hearing Chu Mu's words, Huang Qu's face sank. A terrifying aura was faintly discernible in his body, and it was heavier than ten thousand hectares.
"Where did this rumor come from?" Huang Qu naturally wouldn't admit it.
"Wind Whisper Tower." Chu Mu said.
Hearing the three words' Wind Whisper Tower ', Huang Qu's face turned even uglier.
Wind Whisper Tower was the number one special organization in the Deep Blue Continent. No one could compare to them in terms of gathering information. Therefore, if Wind Whisper Tower said that he had the Essence of Earth, then he really did have the Essence of Earth.
Of course, if he didn't have the Essence of Earth, then Wind Whisper Tower wouldn't have said that.
"I do have the Essence of Earth, but it's mine." Huang Qu said in an incomparably solemn voice. His unwavering tone made Chu Mu understand that he wouldn't let go of anyone who coveted his Essence of Earth.
"Sir Huang Qu, the Essence of Earth is very important to me. I'm willing to pay the corresponding price in exchange." Chu Mu said sincerely. He also knew that the Essence of Heaven and Earth was very important to experts.
For example, Luo Zhenning had the Innate Water Spirit, which enhanced her Water Arts. The power of her Water Arts had obviously increased by several folds, allowing her to display her strength better in battle.
This Huang Qu walked the Dao of Earth. Therefore, the Essence of Earth could also enhance his strength. It was extremely valuable to him.
However, Chu Mu wanted to cultivate the second level of the Sword God's Descent secret technique. He needed eight types of Essence of Heaven and Earth. Now that he had gathered seven types, he was still missing one, which was the Essence of Earth. From what he knew, Huang Qu had it. There might be other places, but Chu Mu didn't know. He also didn't have the time to search for it.
"Price? What price can you pay? Your life?" Huang Qu smiled, his eyes filled with killing intent. He was angry.
The Essence of Earth was very important to him. Once he lost it, his strength would definitely decrease. For those who pursued strength, strength was life. Decreasing their strength was similar to losing their life.
Since ancient times, there were only a few people who knew about it and came to ask for it. Some of them even used their strength to force it. In the end, they were all killed by Huang Qu. Their corpses were also buried in Tianzhong Mountain.
Now, there was actually a reckless person who coveted his Essence of Earth. He was simply courting death.
Without giving Chu Mu a chance to speak, Huang Qu directly attacked.
With a wave of his hand, a yellow-brown palm print that flickered with a bronze luster descended from the sky. The palm print rapidly grew in size, reaching a full thirty meters in size. It emitted an incomparably terrifying and heavy aura. It was as if a mountain was smashing down from the sky, wanting to smash Chu Mu into a meat patty.
This attack had the strength of a peak early stage second refinement.
The palm print landed, and with a boom, the hard mountain rock where it landed instantly shattered. Chu Mu's figure was nowhere to be seen. There was only an irregular palm print deeply imprinted on the rock.
"Your Excellency Huang Qu, I have no intentions of becoming enemies with you. Instead, I sincerely wish to exchange." Chu Mu appeared on the other side and used a calm tone to speak neither slowly nor quickly.
"Die!" However, Huang Qu acted as if he didn't hear Chu Mu's words. To him, anyone who coveted his Essence of Earth had to die.
Huang Qu wasn't surprised that his palm didn't kill Chu Mu. After all, the aura that Chu Mu emitted was that of a peak early stage second refinement, which was the same level as him. Of course, his true strength wasn't at the peak early stage second refinement, but even higher.
Both of his hands continuously waved and a half meter long yellowish-brown palm print emitted a thick bronze luster as it rapidly flew towards Chu Mu. Although they were only half a meter long, they had an incomparably shocking aura. Every single one of them had the might of a Second Refinement Initial Stage. They were densely packed and there were over a hundred of them. They all flew towards Chu Mu and sealed off the space around him.
Then, Huang Qu raised his right foot and took a step forward before stomping down heavily.
With a bang, Tian Zhong Mountain seemed to shake under Huang Qu's stomp. Below Chu Mu, a terrifying light shot up into the sky and condensed into a yellow-brown spike that was covered in a bronze luster. That spike was formed from the copper ore of Tian Zhong Mountain, and its power was extremely terrifying. It was clearly at the peak of the early stage second refinement.
The purpose of the hundreds of palm prints wasn't to kill Chu Mu, but to seal off the space around him and confuse Chu Mu's vision, making it difficult for him to dodge. The spike that shot up from below was the real killing move.
It had to be said that Huang Qu's move was very unique. However, his opponent was Chu Mu.
Over a hundred palm imprints simply couldn't cause any trouble for Chu Mu. His figure flashed, and Chu Mu escaped from the hundred palm imprints. The sharp spike instantly missed as well.
"You have some ability. Since that's the case …" Seeing Chu Mu dodge again, Huang Qu was slightly stunned. Soon after, he sneered. His aura instantly rose, surpassing the peak of the early stage second refinement, and directly reaching the middle stage second refinement.
Huang Qu had used the power of the earth essence to fuse with his body, causing his strength to increase.
"Die!" Huang Qu shouted the word 'die' for the third time. He pointed with one hand, and a bronze light shot towards Chu Mu like a sword.
The bronze light didn't seem to be fast, but it pushed forward layer by layer. Everywhere it passed, the space collapsed inch by inch, and pitch-black scars appeared.
The heavy momentum caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack.
This finger had exceeded the peak of the early stage second refinement. Even a middle stage second refinement expert would have to be cautious.
The terrifying power of this finger not only shattered the space under the finger light, but also locked onto Chu Mu, making him feel as if he had nowhere to dodge. It was as if that finger was the heavens and the earth, the world. No matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape the range of that finger.
This was a kind of momentum, a kind of momentum of the world, enough to affect the spiritual will of an opponent of the same level.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu's strength was definitely not something Huang Qu could compare to once he unleashed it.
Sword Qi Shadow!
Huang Qu's body was directly pierced by the light and instantly shattered. However, Chu Mu's real body appeared in another place.
Huang Qu was really shocked. It seemed that the opponent wasn't an ordinary peak second refinement expert, but a powerful opponent.
"I came with sincerity, but you didn't even want to talk. I let you have three chances," Chu Mu said indifferently. "Now, three chances have passed."
"So what? Anyone who hits my Spirit of Earth must die," Huang Qu roared. Huang Qu angrily roared. He didn't realize the true meaning behind Chu Mu's words, which was to let him go three times. After the third time, he would attack. Yet, once he attacked, the result would be different.
