My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 515 The Last Breath
The atmosphere inside the stone house was heavy, and Chen Mu also had a gloomy face.

He came to Feng'an City hoping to return to the mortal realm, but little did he expect that this place would turn into a quagmire, from which he would be trapped and stranded on the banks of the River of Oblivion.

They had thought that building a Ghost Gate would allow them to escape to the Outer Heavens. But now that the Ghost Gate had been shattered by Li Wuyou, rebuilding it would definitely take several months. And Qingyang City couldn't just stand by and watch them build the Ghost Gate without doing anything.

Chen Mu stared fiercely at the cracked stone on the square table.

Despite all precautions, no one expected that the secret agents in Qingyang City would isolate the aura of the River of Oblivion and lure Li Wuyou into attacking the Gate of Hell.

"Damn Qingyang City!"

"You bastard spy!"

As he was cursing the bastard who created the Extinction Stone in his mind, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"This thing can temporarily conceal the aura of the River of Oblivion, so could it also prevent Li Wuyou's aura from locking on?"

"If I use this thing to conceal my presence and run ten thousand miles away in one breath, can I get rid of Li Wuyou's entanglement?!"

Chen Mu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Have the spy who created this breath-extinguishing stone been found?" He immediately turned to look at Lü Liang.

Lü Liang, puzzled, said somewhat blankly, "We've already arranged for people to screen them, but we haven't found them yet."

"Increase our efforts, investigate through the night, and make sure we find them before dawn tomorrow." Chen Mu then turned to Shang Yang: "You go help too, and find this spy who made the Breath-Suppressing Stone as soon as possible!"

"Is this thing really that important?" Shang Yang scratched his head.

"It will most likely free us from the clutches of the Worry-Free King."

Upon hearing this, the men's expressions immediately turned solemn.

……

With the help of Shang Yang, a Yin spirit at the Divine Embryo Realm, and the full cooperation of the Yin soldiers of Feng'an City, Zhang Er and Shen Bu appeared before Chen Mu the next morning.

Chen Mu stared blankly at Shen Bu. It was this guy who used the Shrinking Earth Teleportation Technique to send him far away from Feng'an City.

"Isn't your Shrinking Earth Teleportation technique pretty powerful? Why aren't you running away?" Chen Mu asked, staring at the other person.

Shen Bu, his face bruised and swollen, forced a fawning smile and said, "I wanted to run away, but... I didn't dare."

"Don't you dare?"

"There are sealing techniques around us, so the teleportation distance is limited, and we can't run far. If we accidentally fall into the Wuyou King's heap..." Shen Bu smiled bitterly, but dared not hide the truth.

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

Previously, Lü Liang had secretly arranged for Yin soldiers to conduct an experiment on crossing the Yellow Springs, and they discovered that someone had used secret methods to seal off the surrounding area, severely restricting ordinary teleportation techniques.

Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He had hoped to use Shen Bu's Shrinking Earth and Teleporting Technique to get far away from the River of Oblivion, but now it seems that's out of the question.

He then frowned and looked at Zhang Er, who also had a bruised and swollen face.

"Can't your Breath-Severing Stone block the King of Worry's lock?" With the Breath-Severing Stone blocking the King of Worry's lock, one should be able to escape.

“Yes.” Zhang Er nodded immediately.

"But the smaller ones have limited strength; each Breath-Sealing Stone can only conceal the truth for a maximum of half a quarter of an hour."

"The Secret Service took away all the Extinction Stones we made before, and we don't have enough stock. Even if we join forces to escape, we can't get very far."

Chen Mu immediately understood.

Previously, when Wuyouwang destroyed the Gate of Hell, the phantom of the River of Oblivion appeared not long afterward, indicating that the time the Stone of Absolute Breath isolated the River of Oblivion was very short.

The Worry-Free King is a powerful demon from the Heavenly Capital. The fact that the Absolute Breath Stone could conceal him for half a quarter of an hour is already quite remarkable.

"Make me a Breath-Suppressing Stone. If it works, I can guarantee your safety. If it doesn't..." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.

“It’s useful, it’s useful, absolutely useful.” Zhang Er nodded repeatedly.

He took a pebble the size of an egg and placed it in the palm of his left hand. He then touched the stone with his right index finger, causing his entire body to vibrate and undergo a qualitative change in spiritual power. He then guided the power of his index finger into the stone.

With a hissing sound, it was like fresh meat being placed on a red-hot iron plate.

Lava-like black and red veins began to meander and spread across the surface of the pebble, slowly weaving together to form a feather-like pattern.

After a long while, Zhang Er, drenched in sweat, withdrew his hand and carefully presented the freshly made Extinction Stone to Chen Mu.

"As long as it is activated by the power of the Yin spirit, it can conceal its aura and deceive the heavens."

Chen Mu reached out and took it, immediately sensing a strange, calming power clinging to the stone's surface like a thin film. This thing…

It might actually work!

……

Three miles from the banks of the River of Oblivion, on a large rock two or three stories high, Chen Mu's figure appeared.

As soon as he appeared, a Li Wuyou appeared not far away, staring at him.

Chen Mu glanced at it and shook his head.

He had no idea how many of the Worry-Free King's clones had been tricked into the River of Oblivion by this rock.

But every time he showed up, Li Wuyou would still appear.

"Tsk! So incredibly skilled, yet so pitifully stupid, really..."

He looked away and immediately channeled the Yin Spirit power into the Extinction Stone in his hand.

An invisible force suddenly emanated from the stone, swirling around his body.

Chen Mu took a deep breath, turned around, transformed into a gentle breeze, and instantly disappeared from the stone, running to a spot not far behind King Wuyou.

As a result, Li Wuyou remained standing in the same spot, staring blankly at the large rock not far away.

"There's a chance!" Chen Mu exclaimed with delight. "As long as we have enough Absorption Stones to conceal our presence, we might be able to escape the clutches of the Worry-Free King!"

……

"I'm afraid that won't work." Inside the stone house by the river, Zhang Er looked troubled.

"I am just an ordinary Yin spirit. Yin spirits have limited divine power. Without eating or drinking, I can only create a maximum of nine Extinction Stones in a whole day."

"To isolate one's aura for three consecutive days, it would require nearly six hundred Breath-Severing Stones, which would probably... probably take more than two months."

Is the power of evil spirits limited?

Isn't this a coincidence?

He immediately mobilized the power of the Yin Spirit, and the true meaning of the secret method of the Mountain-Carrying Scripture instantly transformed into a ball of silver thread that appeared before his eyes, then disappeared into the void between his eyebrows.

"Now we won't lack Yin spirit power, right?" Chen Mu said with a smile.

Zhang Er was startled and couldn't help but widen his eyes!

The Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed has such a wondrous use? It can actually grant someone instant mastery of a secret technique?!

The Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed has been in my body for some time now, and I have already explored the black sky barrier brought by the Spirit Seed hundreds of times.

I originally thought that the stars in the black sky could help me comprehend the secret technique, but I never expected that they could directly grant me the experience to perfect the secret technique!
Amazing!
Zhang Er looked shocked.

Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

With the Absolute Stone providing cover, he wasn't afraid of being locked onto by the Worry-Free King. As long as he carefully concealed himself and ran ten thousand miles in one breath, he would most likely be able to shake off that damned thing's entanglement.

"Misfortune and fortune are intertwined. Although the Gate of Hell was destroyed, another way to escape was found."

“However, this method can only help a small number of people escape. As for the Yin spirits gathered by the River of Oblivion in Feng’an City…” Chen Mu turned to look at the riverbank in the distance.

At this moment, the people of Feng'an City are busy building a new Ghost Gate.

These people are relatively safe for now, but once Qingyang City successfully captures Lü Chengshan, the city lord of Feng'an City, the fate of the Yin spirits will likely be quite grim.

He originally intended to take them with him to the Outer Heavens, but the city lord of Qingyang City sent Shangyang to destroy the Gate of Hell.

"That's right. Lü Chengshan hid the Netherworld Stone among the people in Feng'an City. These people are Lü Chengshan's anchor point for returning to the Underworld."

"As long as Qingyang City keeps an eye on these people, they can catch Lü Chengshan like a turtle in a jar, and naturally they will not be allowed to escape."

"This damned world!"

Chen Mu sighed helplessly.

Starting from Daliang, he traveled to many places, but no matter where he went, there was always fighting and chaos. And it was always the lowly people at the bottom who suffered.

He wanted to lend a hand, but he was already struggling to save himself, so it would be difficult for him to help.

Looking at the busy crowd in the distance, Chen Mu felt a heaviness in his heart.

"If only there were more people like Zhang Er who could create the Breathless Stone, what a pity..."
