"This Underworld Scripture is incomplete."
After a simulated cultivation, Chu Mu thought to himself. This was the conclusion he had reached after countless years of accumulation and profound attainments in cultivation techniques. However, Chu Mu discovered that he was unable to complete it. This Underworld Scripture might be a part of some profound cultivation technique.
"It's a pity. If only I could obtain the complete cultivation technique. Perhaps I could integrate its essence into the Truth Seeking Technique and further perfect it."
Thinking about it, if he could extract the essence of that cultivation technique and integrate it into the Truth Seeking Technique, it would give the Truth Seeking Technique the ability to absorb and refine Nether Qi. Chu Mu would basically not have to worry about the corrosion of Nether Qi in the Nether Realm.
"Perhaps when I'm strong enough, I can directly kill my way into the Heaven Nether Sect." Chu Mu thought to himself, amusing himself.
The Nether Realm's low-level region was indeed full of danger. The deeper one went, the more dangerous it would be because one would encounter nether beasts and Nether Corpse Martial Artists. However, with Chu Mu's strength, it was not an exaggeration to say that he could roam freely in the low-level region. At least until now, there had not been any danger that could make him use his full strength, not even thirty percent.
A whistling sound rang out as an astonishing chill with dense Nether Qi assaulted him, accompanied by a faintly discernible sobbing sound that made one's hair stand on end. The sound was erratic, as if it came from all directions at the same time.
Suddenly, a grey light pierced through the air and clawed at Chu Mu's head. It was swift, fierce, and ruthless. However, the sudden attack missed. Under the claw, Chu Mu's figure had disappeared without anyone noticing.
"What are you?" A curious voice rang out. Chu Mu appeared in another place and stared at the figure that had attacked him with astonishment.
This thing was greyish-white in color, but it was different from the Nether Corpse Martial Artists. It looked like a deformed person. Its spine was protruding as if it was about to pierce through its skin. Its body was shriveled, and it had a ferocious face, scarlet eyes, and a mouth full of jagged teeth that constantly dripped turbid saliva. It looked like a hungry ghost that had crawled out of hell.
According to the ancient records that Chu Mu had read, there was no mention of such a thing in the Nether Realm.
It looked like a hungry ghost, emitting a ghostly aura that made Chu Mu feel uncomfortable.
In response to Chu Mu's question, the Hungry Ghost's response was to attack. Its figure flashed, and its speed was astonishing. It was like a bolt of lightning, and its thick and incomparably sharp claws left streaks of cracks in the air. It was like an inescapable net that completely covered Chu Mu. It spread out in all directions, and there was nowhere to hide.
Chu Mu didn't have any intentions of dodging. He waved his sword and easily blocked all of the sharp claws. No matter what angle they came from, they were unable to truly hit his body. Soon after, he slashed out with his sword. The powerful slash hit the hungry ghost's body and sent it flying a few hundred meters.
Chu Mu furrowed his brows slightly. He could feel that although his sword strike had sent the other party flying, it had not truly harmed the other party. This kind of body was even tougher than those Underworld Corpse Warriors from before.
After the ghoul was sent flying, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chu Mu swept his gaze around, but did not see anything.
Chu Mu did not let down his guard. He felt a sense of danger enveloping him, and it was a little uncomfortable. It was as if he was being treated as prey.
Soon after, the sound of wind breaking rang out. Dense Ghost Qi assaulted him from all directions. Chu Mu keenly discerned the origin of the cold Ghost Qi. There were a total of nine of them, indicating that there were nine Hungry Ghosts attacking him.
"What exactly is this thing?"
"Is it controlled by someone?"
The instant this thought arose, the nine Hungry Ghosts attacked him from all directions. Terrifying Ghost Claws tore through the air, bringing with them a shocking killing intent and death.
The Ghost Claws seemed to be endless, covering the sky and earth in all directions. There was not the slightest gap, and it was even denser than an inescapable net. The Sword Light turned, and in a flash, it completely blocked the attacks of the nine Hungry Ghosts. Not a single one of them was able to hit Chu Mu.
Moreover, that sword strike contained a powerful force that directly sent the nine Hungry Ghosts flying several dozen meters away.
"Come out!" With a low shout, Chu Mu's sword pierced to the left. Just now, when the nine Hungry Ghosts attacked, he felt a strange aura coming from the left. It was different from the aura of the Hungry Ghosts, but there was an indescribable connection.
The Sword Light pierced through the air at an extremely fast speed and instantly hit the hidden target. A figure also appeared in front of Chu Mu's eyes.
It was a grey-skinned man. It was impossible to tell his age. His body was lifeless, and the smell of rotting corpses was nauseating. He was wearing strange clothes that seemed to be pieced together. It was very messy, and in his right hand was a strange club. It looked like the mourning club of Wuchang in the legends of his previous life.
"What powerful strength, as expected of the person who could kill Yin Mingzi." Being forced out by Chu Mu's sword strike, this person was very surprised. He opened his mouth and said with a hoarse and dry voice. It sounded very ear-piercing, causing one's scalp to tingle.
"Which one of the Seven Sons of Heaven Underworld are you?" Chu Mu wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he asked. When he felt the grey-colored aura on his body, he knew that he would be hunted down by the Heaven Underworld Sect.
"I'm the Son of Netherworld." As soon as this person finished speaking, his figure instantly disappeared. The nine Hungry Ghosts that were repelled also quickly moved and ran around Chu Mu. They turned into nine streaks of grey-colored lightning and quickly intertwined with each other. A terrifying sound was heard, as if space itself was being torn apart.
The nine Hungry Ghosts' bodies crisscrossed as they charged towards Chu Mu. However, the instant they neared Chu Mu, they circled around and their trajectories became even more unpredictable.
Above Chu Mu, a grey-white light bombarded down. Upon closer inspection, one could see that it was a strange club that silently fell down.
The rapid movement of the nine Hungry Ghosts was actually used to confuse Chu Mu. Under normal circumstances, such a fast speed would attract his attention and make him vigilant. Thus, he would overlook the top of his head.
The club fell silently until it was close to Chu Mu's head. Only then did it explode with astonishing power. Under normal circumstances, facing such an attack, even if one's strength wasn't inferior to the other party, or even higher, it would be difficult to dodge.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu wasn't an ordinary cultivator. His strength wasn't something that the other party could imagine.
The club that he thought would definitely succeed landed, but it missed. This made the person extremely surprised. In front of him, a Sword Light bloomed. It was so fast that he couldn't react in time. His eyes were illuminated, and only that Sword Light was left in the entire world.
"My life is over!" A thought rose in his heart, and all that was left was darkness.
After killing the nine Hungry Ghosts, they seemed to have lost their strength and instantly fell to the ground.
Chu Mu quickly checked. The nine Hungry Ghosts were indeed dead. They were truly dead and had lost all their strength. Then, he took the interspatial ring of the self-proclaimed Son of Netherworld and checked it.
"Corpse Underworld Scripture."
Chu Mu took out a silk book from the interspatial ring.
"So this guy is Gui Ming. He actually lied about being the Son of Netherworld." Chu Mu secretly smiled. However, after thinking about it, he understood. Those who knew about the Tianming Seven also knew about the ranking of the Tianming Seven. He was clearly the seventh Corpse Underworld Child, but he lied about being the second Son of Netherworld. Disordered information could also cause people to make wrong judgments. He was somewhat cunning.
After flipping through the Corpse Underworld Scripture, Chu Mu simulated cultivation and made an unexpected discovery.
"The Corpse Underworld Scripture is also incomplete, but it has a complementary relationship with the Underworld Scripture." Chu Mu made a guess. "Could it be that the cultivation methods of the Tianming Seven are all incomplete, and only by combining them can they be complete?"
This guess wasn't unreasonable. After all, the Underworld Scripture and Corpse Underworld Scripture were both incomplete, and there was a connection between the two. Therefore, Chu Mu's guess was reasonable.
"If that's the case, I have to get the cultivation methods of the Tianming Seven."
Would the Tianming Seven obediently hand over their cultivation methods to him?
The answer was obviously no. Therefore, he could only kill them and take their interspatial rings and cultivation methods, just like he did with Ying Ming and Shi Mingzi.
Now that he had killed Ying Ming and Shi Mingzi, he didn't need to go looking for them. The remaining five should be coming after him.
"Why don't I just wait here for them to come?"
… …
In the tombs of the Tianming Sect.
"Shi Mingzi has been killed. The five of you move out together." A fleeting voice sounded. It was the voice of the Tianming Ruler.
Tian Mingzi and the other four were very surprised. Shi Mingzi had been killed. It seemed like the enemy this time wasn't ordinary.
Since the Tianming Ruler had ordered them to move out, they would all move out. They wanted to see who was able to kill Ying Ming and Shi Mingzi.
Although Shi Mingzi was ranked twentieth on the Underworld Emperor Ranking, his means weren't ordinary. His life-saving ability was extremely strong, and he could be ranked in the top ten. If he was killed, it meant that the murderer was very strong. Perhaps, the murderer could be ranked in the top five of the Underworld Emperor Ranking.
The remaining five of the Tianming Seven came out from the tombs one after another.
One was wearing a long black robe that was covered with fine golden runes. He had a unique noble aura, like the Lord of Death. He was the first son of the Tianming Seven, Tian Mingzi.
One of them was dressed in a grayish-black robe. His figure seemed to be in between reality and illusion. When one looked at him, one would feel like they were in a trance. It was the second son of the Tianming Seven Scions, You Ming Zi.
The third one was wearing a long black robe, but there were no golden runes on it. It was completely black, as if it could absorb all light. He was the third son of the Tianming Seven, Dark Mingzi.
As for the fourth son, Ying Ming, he had been killed by Chu Mu.
The fifth one was surrounded by ghostly Qi. From time to time, it would change into a ferocious ghost head. He was the fifth son of the Tianming Seven, Gui Mingzi.
The sixth one was wearing a grey battle armor that was covered with barbs. He looked very ferocious. The corner of his mouth curled up. He was emitting an evil aura. He was the sixth son of the Tianming Seven, Xie Mingzi.
As for the seventh son, Shi Mingzi, he had been killed by Chu Mu not long ago.
