Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

When Chu Mu woke up again, the sky had already turned dark.

The giant ape stood guard by his side and quickly brought him a bowl of water upon seeing him wake up.

"Water made from hundred-year mysterious ice."

"...Thank you."

Chu Mu felt sore all over his body, as if all his spiritual power had been drained, leaving him unable to exert any strength. He could only raise his head and gaze at the starry sky above.

Seeing this, the giant ape gently fed Chu Mu the water.

"Thank you. By the way, how did we survive?"

Chu Mu only remembered being soul-searched by the Holy Demon Crown Prince, and he had no recollection of what happened next.

"You don't know?" The giant ape looked at Chu Mu in astonishment. "It was you who saved us!"

Then, the giant ape vividly recounted to Chu Mu how he had defeated the Holy Demon Crown Prince with great power. As Chu Mu listened, a strange expression appeared on his face.

This... was really him?

He remembered the giant ape mentioning using the gemstones to counterattack.

Chu Mu turned his hand over, and two gemstones appeared in his hand. The method of using the gemstones also suddenly appeared in his mind.

It seemed that there were still many secrets within him that he had yet to discover.

"Actually, that person... probably wasn't me."

"Regardless, if it weren't for you, we would probably have been killed by that birdman."

Recalling what the Holy Demon Crown Prince had said, the giant ape still felt lingering fear.

Soul-searching an entire planet's savage beasts?

We are all members of the demon race, why go to such extremes?

Chu Mu nodded slightly, not refuting the giant ape.

The technique within his body continued to operate, nourishing his body with spiritual power and helping Chu Mu recover to some extent.

"In that case, I will leave first. I still need to search for more gemstones."

"Wait!"

Chu Mu turned around to leave but was stopped by the giant ape.

The giant ape's face showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, opening his mouth several times but not saying anything.

"It's like this. I hope that if you leave, you can take me with you."

Chu Mu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Hmm? Why?"

The embarrassment on the giant ape's face gradually turned serious.

"Before you and that birdman arrived, I always thought that if a saint came to our place, we would have a way to deal with it. But after you came here, we realized just how powerless we are in the face of a saint."

The giant ape exhaled slowly, turning into a white mist in the icy snow.

His face was filled with worry.

"So I know that I must continue to become stronger. At least, I need to have the strength to threaten a saint, to make them feel that it's not easy to deal with me. Only then can I protect them, protect my homeland."

Chu Mu understood.

The motivation for many strong individuals to become stronger often lies in their family or friends.

However, he didn't immediately agree.

A desolate expression appeared on the giant ape's face.

He could also understand why Chu Mu would do this.

After all, his strength was too weak.

If he brought him along, it would be like carrying a burden.

"I'm not rejecting you. It's just that I also have very powerful enemies. If you follow me, you may face death at any time. Even so, would you still choose to follow me?"

"Yes."

The giant ape nodded forcefully.

He was a savage beast at the Emperor Realm.

For a wandering cultivator to advance from the Emperor Realm to the Saint Realm was extremely difficult.

The dangers on the path to seizing opportunities were truly life-threatening.

If one didn't fight for opportunities, it was likely that they wouldn't be able to advance to the Saint Realm even in their old age.

Not everyone possessed enough talent, nor did everyone have a profound background.

The giant ape knew very well that if he didn't have someone to guide and support him in his cultivation, he would most likely die before reaching the Holy Realm.

"Alright, since that's the case, follow me. Although my strength is not very strong, I can still help you to some extent."

"Thank you, senior!"

The giant ape bowed, showing great reverence.

Immediately after, he transformed into human form.

A sturdy white-haired man.

"You should explain to them."

"I already did while you were unconscious."

"Good, then follow me."

Chu Mu released a spiritual barrier to protect their bodies, and they flew towards the sky together.

The journey of the two went smoothly for the next few planets.

Chu Mu obtained three gems out of the five planets.

Including the gems he already had, he obtained a total of five.

The combat power that could be unleashed by five gems was almost enough to instantly kill a Holy Realm expert.

"Just five gems have such power. If we gather twenty or thirty gems and detonate them together, we might be able to possess the power to injure a Dao Realm expert."

"If one has such terrifying power, then this War Tao Saint seems quite formidable. A simple Saint cannot achieve these things."

The giant ape had already heard about the War Tao Saint and the War Tao Ruins from Chu Mu.

He knew that the world he was in was behind the Red Bronze Gate.

But the power of these gems far exceeded the limits of a Saint.

Unbelievable.

"Continue to search for the next gem. The more gems we find, the more likely we are to inherit the legacy of the War Tao Saint."

Chu Mu continued to search for gems.

The geniuses of the Tai Xuan God Clan were busy with the trials of the God Clan and did not participate in the War Tao Ruins this time.

Although there were talented cultivators in the outside world, they were still far inferior to Chu Mu.

During the search for gems, he encountered many cultivators, but none of them could compete with him.

It wasn't until Han Wen appeared that alarm bells rang in his heart.

"It's actually you?"

"It seems like you're quite surprised. How many gems have you found?"

Han Wen was accompanied by a petite girl who was infatuatedly looking at him.

Han Wen asked lightly while hugging the girl.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Then I'll have to find out for myself."

Han Wen smiled faintly and produced dozens of gems of various colors in his hand. The gems emitted various colors of light and shot towards Chu Mu.

The resonance effect of the dozens of gems made each gem's power increase dozens of times compared to when they were not resonating.

Chu Mu was shocked.

With his own strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand this level of power.

To resist the gems, he could only use the power of the gems.

Chu Mu had no choice but to use the power of the same number of gems as Han Wen. He also released lasers that shot towards Han Wen.

"Huh? You actually have so many."

Han Wen looked at Chu Mu with some surprise.

After all, he was only able to find so many because of the girl who had the ability to search for gems.

Chu Mu was actually able to find so many as well?

The light emitted by the same number of gems collided in the air. The lasers shot out by Chu Mu kept pushing forward, while Han Wen's lasers kept retreating.

"Why is it that with the same number of gems, the power you can control is stronger than mine?"

Han Wen was puzzled. Even in the same situation, his proficiency in controlling the gems was inferior to Chu Mu's.

After all, this method of control was taught to him by the girl, and it was much stronger than the methods used by others in this world.

Chu Mu was also confused, only knowing that it had something to do with what happened when he fainted.

But...

What exactly happened when he fainted?
