Chapter 1453: Chapter 60 The Four Great Patriarchs

“Why does this World Eater always stay there, without moving?”

Xumi voiced his confusion.

Hearing this, the cultivators around them couldn’t help but look at the black Water Buffalo with astonishment and suspicion.

But see, the black Water Buffalo’s lower half was submerged in the raging waves.

Its smooth and shiny body, the muscles bulging powerfully, seemed to be exerting to the utmost limit.

With anguished roars, its round bull head cried out in pain, its two front hooves slapping the sea surface.

Struggling violently.

Yet it never shifted its position.

All were baffled, looking at one another without a clue.

A thought crossed Xumi’s mind, and he turned to Daoist Yuanci, who had just intervened to bring him back:

“Deputy Sect Master, have you seen the full extent of this World Eater?”

Daoist Yuanci slightly shook his head: “The beast is ferocious, one must not get too close.”

Upon hearing this, Xumi was slightly disappointed, but he quickly made a decision:

“You all retreat quickly, I will try again!”

The cultivators around him had no time to stop him when they suddenly saw Xumi transform into an invisible sword again and slash towards the black Water Buffalo struggling in the waves!

With no other choice, everyone could only retreat.

Only Daoist Yuanci, taking advantage of the terrain, did not retreat with the rest. Instead, he was fully alert, ready to provide aid to Xumi at any moment.

This time, Xumi seemed to have used all his strength.

The sword-light, refined to the extreme, had just flashed when it once again disappeared without a trace.

When it reappeared, it was shockingly close to the black Water Buffalo, slicing down fiercely!

Along with the strike, ripples and tiny black holes faintly appeared in the surrounding Void.

The offensive power of sword cultivators can often far exceed the limits of their realm.

With this slash, even the black Water Buffalo faintly sensed a trace of danger.

Its body suddenly twisted even more violently.

But with an incredibly deft turn of its bull head!

The sword-light instantly struck the round horn, leaving a sword mark that was neither deep nor shallow at the tip of the horn.

However, almost at the same time, the hooves of the black Water Buffalo followed up, one after another!

Seeing this scene from afar, everyone couldn’t help but have their hearts suddenly leap!

But in that moment, Xumi, in a dangerously close shave, transformed once more into a rainbow of swords!

“Whoosh!”

The rainbow of swords barely skimmed under the hooves!

“Moo—”

The black Water Buffalo suddenly opened its huge mouth full of fine teeth again, issuing a sky-shaking bellow in this critical moment.

The entire surface of the Eightfold Sea shook!

As if heaven and earth were splitting, mountains were collapsing, and seas were overturning!

“Be careful!”

Daoist Yuanci, who was already on guard, almost instantly acted the moment the black Water Buffalo opened its mouth!

His profound Yuanci mana was released without reservation, like a river pouring out!

Under his extreme concentration and the mobilization of profound Yuanci mana, behind the sword rainbow transformed by Xumi, the astonishing force of Yuanci in the sea was instantly stimulated!

Sea water churned, Yuanci spun rapidly.

Incredibly, a small-scale Yuanci Turmoil formed right behind the rainbow of swords!

Boom!

The invisible ripples formed by the black Water Buffalo’s low roar struck this Yuanci Turmoil, and the sea water exploded in an instant.

This Yuanci Turmoil, into which Daoist Yuanci poured almost all his mana, barely lasted for a breath before it turned into a sky of rain…

But even such a brief moment was enough for Xumi.

Swish!

The slightly illusory figure of Xumi appeared beside Daoist Yuanci.

He looked towards the distant black Water Buffalo with an extremely solemn expression.

Even after being provoked by Xumi’s sword, the black Water Buffalo still stood in its place, roaring furiously.

This time, Daoist Yuanci also vaguely saw a problem.

“This World Eater seems unable to escape for some reason… This could be an opportunity.”

Xumi’s expression was somber as he slightly shook his head:

“I’m afraid it’s no use; even with all my strength, I can’t injure it.”

Daoist Yuanci’s expression darkened.

He quickly extracted the Yuanci power around him and refined it rapidly.

At that moment.

A somewhat discontented voice came from the Storage Treasure:

“It’s time those old fellows in the Sect got moving, this isn’t the outside world.”

Xumi’s expression changed, surprised as he looked towards Daoist Yuanci’s Storage Treasure:

“Yuyang Patriarch?”

Daoist Yuanci slapped the Magic Tool, and from it instantly flew out a damaged drum.

A White Clothed Child immediately condensed on the drum, frowned as he glanced at the black Water Buffalo, and said:

“Even if that thing isn’t Void Refining, it’s still a bit stronger than the usual Immortal Ascension Perfection, and even at my peak, I was slightly inferior to it. I don’t know where you, who have just entered Immortal Ascension not long ago, got the courage.”

This was naturally directed at Xumi.

As for how much of it was a boast, that would be in the eye of the beholder.

But both Xumi and Daoist Yuanci thought of the words previously spoken by Yuyang Patriarch and couldn’t help but be stirred.

Xumi then shook his head and said:

“The Patriarchs have dwelt within the Sect for many years, we dare not disturb them lightly.”

“How pedantic!”

The White Clothed Child, upon hearing this, immediately retorted in annoyance:

“Then why have I come out? Wuhe has been lazing in the Myriad Cave for years, and Panji has been cowering in Shaoyang Mountain as well, not to mention the rest… ”

Xumi immediately showed a helpless look:

“Patriarch Wuhe is the Myriad Cave itself; he can’t easily leave. Patriarch Panji is the same; so many dungeons in Shaoyang Mountain depend on him for operation and coordination. If he leaves the Sect, and should there be any mishap, it could shake the very foundation of the Sect.”

“Then call out ‘Nine Holes’!”

The White Clothed Child said, disgruntled:

“He’s been acting like an incense burner every day in Chunyang Palace, pretending to be some inanimate object. Of all of us, he’s the most idle!”
