"What place is this?"

Xu Mu found himself in a world filled with light, where golden rays surged like tides.

"Damn it! I was so close to obtaining it, why did it send me here? What bad luck!"

Although the scene before him seemed like some kind of adventure, Xu Mu was never interested in adventures. He just wanted to take the Xuan Yang Holy Water and leave this secret realm as soon as possible.

"Do you also want this?"

A sharp voice came from the endless golden light.

"Who?"

Xu Mu was startled, holding the Sky-Cleaving Halberd tightly, on high alert.

The golden light condensed endlessly, transforming into a bird-headed humanoid creature, engulfed in golden flames. It slowly approached Xu Mu, holding a golden liquid in its hand, which was the Xuan Yang Holy Water.

The aura emanating from the bird-man was as vast as mountains and seas. Its golden-white eyes exuded boundless majesty, making Xu Mu lose any desire to fight.

It was like a person facing a deity, wanting nothing more than to pay homage!

Xu Mu swallowed hard, his muscles tense, feeling as if he could be killed with a single poke from the other party.

"Young Xu Mu! I greet you, senior!"

The situation was stronger than the individual. The other party's strength exceeded his imagination, so Xu Mu thought it would be better to be polite.

"I ask you, do you want this?" the bird-man said calmly.

"Yes!"

Xu Mu gritted his teeth and said.

He seemed to have no reason to lie, and he couldn't lie in front of the other party.

Those eyes seemed to be able to see through all his secrets.

"I can give you the item, but you have to do something for me!"

As the bird-man spoke, the Xuan Yang Holy Water flew in front of Xu Mu.

Xu Mu didn't dare to catch it, instead, he asked, "Senior, please give your orders. As long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

In his heart, he couldn't help but complain. It was just as he suspected!

Otherwise, how could the other party inexplicably teleport him here, and the golden light just now was probably also controlled by the other party, intentionally luring him closer to the Xuan Yang Holy Water.

If he didn't get close, he might not be able to teleport. This speculation made it highly likely that the golden sun in the sky was controlled by this person. Looking at the golden light around him, it was even more certain.

The other party could create something like the sun and control space. This strength was simply unimaginable, and he had no room for resistance.

He was truly unlucky!

Xu Mu hadn't experienced this feeling of powerlessness for a long time.

In this short moment, Xu Mu thought about a lot of things and felt a lot of frustration.

He thought it was just an ordinary adventure, but he didn't expect that just when he was about to succeed and retreat, unexpected complications arose.

He just hoped that after everything was done, the other party wouldn't kill him to keep him quiet.

"You can definitely do it!"

The bird-man's voice was calm but unquestionable.

Without waiting for Xu Mu to answer, the endless golden light scattered around, revealing a huge chain that seemed to be forged from ancient divine iron.

"Use your weapon to cut it!" the bird-man said.

"..."

Xu Mu didn't know who had forged it, what material it was made of, or what it was used for, but it seemed like he had no other choice.

He vaguely sensed that if he were to cut the iron chain, something big would definitely happen. But if he didn't, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave alive.

He finally realized why the other party targeted him. It was because of the Sky-Cleaving Halberd.

But thinking about it, with the other party's strength, besides the Sky-Cleaving Halberd, there seemed to be nothing else that could catch their attention.

Xu Mu didn't immediately take action. He first put away the Xuan Yang Holy Water, then said, "Senior, I'm afraid my humble strength won't be able to cut it. It would be better if senior did it yourself."

Xu Mu acted as if he respectfully handed over his weapon.

Although it is very likely that Xu Mu will not be able to return after handing over the Split Void Halberd, he feels that it is still worth it for the sake of his own life.

Material possessions can be found again, but once life is lost, everything is lost.

This also indirectly shows his generosity, hoping to gain some goodwill.

"If I could do it myself, why would I come to you! I will send you away as soon as the chain breaks!"

After speaking, the golden birdman disappeared.

"..."

Xu Mu was speechless and helpless, so he could only fly to the front of the chain to inspect it.

This chain is as thick as three or four adults, with a dark golden color. The darkness is likely its natural color, while the gold may have been formed from long-term exposure to golden light. In other aspects, it looks ordinary and nothing special.

But it is hard to believe that even a fool would not believe that it could be pointed out by a powerful and boundless birdman.

Xu Mu studied it for a while but didn't find any useful information.

Finally, he looked at the Split Void Halberd in his hand and decided to give it a try.

He raised the Split Void Halberd and aimed at the thick chain in front of him, using only one ten-thousandth of his strength to gently touch it.

Clang!

A crisp collision sound rang out.

In that instant of collision, Xu Mu saw a dense array of silver runes appearing on the chain, fleeting as if it was a reactive response to an attack.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple!"

Xu Mu's face turned ugly. In that instant of collision just now, he felt a sensation like an electric current coming from the Split Void Halberd, causing his arm to go numb.

The only good news was that the true body of Myriad Tribulations seemed to have been stimulated and started operating again.

"Let's try increasing the strength."

He had no room for resistance now, surrounded by nothing but light.

He wanted to leave this area but found an invisible barrier around him, trapping him in a narrow range.

Perhaps this barrier is protecting me!

If those golden lights were not just for show, imagine the feeling when he was illuminated by the golden light just now. Without this barrier, his soul would likely be torn apart on the spot.

In other words, he had no other way out except to cut the iron chain.

As for playing tricks with the other party, he had no confidence at all.

The other party's strength far exceeded his own, and it was possible that the other party could see through whatever he was thinking.

Playing with words and tricks would be purely seeking death.

So, he would just cut it!

Clang!

This time, he used one thousandth of his strength, and his entire arm became numb.

Clang!

This time, it was one hundredth of his strength, and half of his body was stimulated by the electric current. The silver runes appearing on the iron chain became more prominent.

Clang!

This time, it was one tenth of his strength, and Xu Mu's whole body trembled. It was even stronger than the sound waves of the Primordial Origin Golden Bell back then. The light of the silver runes had completely dispersed.

At this moment, Xu Mu's face showed a hint of joy. The true body of Myriad Tribulations in his body had completely started operating, further enhancing his physical condition.

"I didn't expect that cutting an iron chain could actually assist in cultivation, and the effect is not much worse than the sound waves!"

"However..."

Looking at the undamaged iron chain, Xu Mu didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

If it didn't work, the iron chain wouldn't break, and there wouldn't be any major changes. But if he couldn't cut it, he might have to stay here for the rest of his life.

"This time, I'll use all my strength!"

Xu Mu held the Split Void Halberd with both hands, raised it high, and his spiritual power surged. Purple lightning surrounded him, and all his strength was pushed to the limit.

Clang! (End of this chapter)
