Chapter 240: Wood Grain Seal

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at the hundreds of fragments on the ground of the basin ahead and feeling the astounding Spirit Qi there, one could feel their internal cultivation circulate more quickly with every single breath.

But as disciples hailing from the four great Dao Colleges and the cream of the crop in their respective Dao Colleges, they could all control themselves. They also had their own abilities to judge and analyze an issue.

The appearance of the fragment ruins was too eerie. As a result, although the people had desire in their hearts, none of them went closer because of that desire.

But seeing such a fragment basin right in front of them and giving up because of their safety considerations was impossible for them. Hence, many people within the disciples of the four great Dao Colleges started a discussion quickly. Afterwards, the Traps and Beast Tamers cultivators released some beasts and robots for scouting purposes.

Among them, Huang Shan also released a robot. The robot was built not for beauty but for functionality. It looked similar to a puppet, yet different from one.

As the robots and beasts slowly approached the basin, Wang Baole and the others watched cautiously. Not long after, the robots and beasts entered the basin.

Seeing how the beasts and robots entered the basin successfully and even started to collect the fragments on the ground, everyone got fired up. Even Wang Baole quickened his breathing. Just as he was considering whether to use his devouring seed to vacuum up the fragments, there was a sudden turn of events.

Suddenly, a loud rumble sounded from the ground. The earth trembled and rose and fell like waves on the ocean. As the people became shocked and stunned, a vortex suddenly appeared beneath the foot of a robot. A huge worm with a five-foot-thick dark purple body suddenly charged out from within the vortex.

The moment the worm appeared, it opened its mouth to reveal rows of sharp fangs and swallowed the robot whole. It didn’t return into the vortex, choosing instead to remain there. The worm turned its head, seemingly looking at the people from the four great Dao Colleges.

As the worm stopped, it’s appearance appeared more clearly in the eyes of everyone. The worm had no eyes and no nose. One could even accurately say that the worm had no head. It only had a huge mouth!

The worm had a five-foot-thick body, with the portion of its body exposed on the ground more than 300 feet long. Coupled with the countless fist-sized lumps spread throughout the worm’s body, the beast sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

“Moon Gu!” someone among the crowd shouted.

The huge worm was a Moon Gu. Any Moon Gu had a cultivation at the third or fourth level of the True Breath Realm.

Wang Baole took a deep breath and retreated immediately. Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng did the same. As for the other disciples from the four great Dao Colleges, most of them made the split second decision to retreat and try to leave. That was despite a large majority of them feeling indignation in their hearts.

That was because… when each Dao College introduced the Moon Gu while sending their disciples to the moon, they all heavily emphasized one sentence—the Moon Gu, lived in groups…

The reaction speed of everyone was already pretty fast, but they were a step too late. Suddenly, the earth rumbled continuously, and vortexes appeared one after another in their surroundings. Many humongous Moon Gu charged out of the vortexes.

Looking ahead, there were thousands of Moon Gu. In fact, the ground further away continued to tremble, and one could see a countless number of Moon Gu bolting towards them!

“It’s a trap!” As anxious exclamation was heard from the crowd, and Wang Baole felt his scalp going numb. Right at that moment, the fragment ruins behind him started to warp and quickly disappeared like a painting washed away by the sea.

That place was a mirage!!

However, compared with traditional illusory mirages, the climate on the moon showed reality. Putting it another way, the fragment basin in front of everyone was real!

The moon is way too eerie! Wang Baole felt his hair stand on end. Much of his previous understanding of the moon was gathered from the resources he was given and what people told him. Only then did he truly understand how eerie and horrifying the Mystic Luna Realm was.

“Charge out of here!” The cultivators from the four great Dao Colleges who came were all at least at the fifth level of the True Breath realm. Some of them had even reached the perfected stage of the True Breath realm. Although they were frightened, they weren’t in a frenzy. They all gathered together and charged out towards a single direction.

At the same time, the many Moon Gu surrounding them emitted a strange sound as though they were crying. The sounds shot towards everyone from all directions. Some Moon Gu even sprayed out a black liquid. The black liquid was extremely smelly and immediately corroded the ground when it touched it. One could imagine how it would corrode their blood and bones if it came into contact with them, instantly turning them into goo.

The scene made everyone even more terrified. They immediately took out their Numinous Treasure and other items, fighting the Moon Gu while charging out.

Instantly, loud rumbles echoed around the surroundings.

Wang Baole was among those who fought, and when he attacked, lightning surrounded his body. He killed a Moon Gu rushing towards him in one hit and bolted forward without stopping.

There was a cultivator from the White Deer Branch College a distance away. His face turned pale, and he had a look of shock and terror. He tried to retreat, but it was too late for him, and a Moon Gu strayed his body with a black liquid. As he screamed in pain, one could see his body quickly being corroded away, and his face became a blurred mess. The bones of one of his arms were also quickly melting away.

However, he didn’t die immediately and crushed his survival jade slip with his other hand while screaming in pain.

The moment his jade slip was crushed, a sphere of light covered his body. As the sphere of light covered him, a long line extended from it. He soared across the heavens like a rainbow, as if he was sending a signal for help into the array formation on the Mystic Luna Realm.

The rainbow was traveling very quickly and was about to disappear. But… right at that moment… the earth started trembling at a greater frequency than before.

As though mountains were collapsing, loud rumbles filled the air within the Mystic Luna Realm like multiple thunderclaps.

No matter where one was on the moon, they could feel the ground trembling in unison in the Mystic Luna Realm.

Those affected included not only disciples from the four great Dao Colleges but also cultivators from the other factions. All of them could feel the ground trembling from wherever they were.

Not waiting for them to shout, a weird change happened in the sky of the Mystic Luna Realm! The originally pitch black sky started glowing blood red!

As the red light spread, one could faintly see wood grains appear out of thin air and spread rapidly throughout the heavens. In a few seconds, Wang Baole and the other disciples of the four great Dao Colleges couldn’t see the boundaries of the wood grains. They had spread to cover the entire Mystic Luna Realm!

The wood grains formed a huge seal to cover the array formation already put in place on the Mystic Luna Realm. Like a parasite, while controlling and sealing the original array formation, the wood grains also cut off all SOS signals sent from within it!

As loud rumbles spread throughout the entire Mystic Luna Realm, they also isolated it from the outside world. That caused everyone within the Mystic Luna Realm to lose their external assistance. It caused all the Core Formation realm cultivators of the different factions to be obstructed by the array formation. Temporarily… they were unable to enter the Mystic Luna Realm!

Outside of the Mystic Luna Realm, in the bases of the various factions, the Core Formation realm cultivators were all shocked. Some tried entering the Mystic Luna Realm but were bounced back by the array formation. They were unable to step even an inch into the Mystic Luna Realm!

“Oh no!”

“Contact the Federation on Earth immediately. Tell the President that a shocking turn of events has happened in the Mystic Luna Realm!”

The Sect Lords of all four great Dao Colleges were shocked and anxious, and the Senate, Five Generation Sky Clan, and the Two Great Sects all went into a frenzy. Compared to them, the most frenzied faction was definitely the Trilunaris Corporation. They even considered blowing up their own base to try blasting open a small hole in the array formation to no avail.

“Young Master is in there!” The various elders of the Trilunaris Corporation were already very shocked and in a frenzy. As they thought about the consequences of the situation, their breathing hastened, and they became extremely anxious.

As the outside world was shocked and anxious, the cultivators of the various factions, as well as the disciples from the four great Dao Colleges within the Mystic Luna Realm, were equally stunned.

As for the disciple who crushed his jade slip, the protective screen surrounding his body disappeared. As he despaired, what was left of his body was devoured by a Moon Gu.

Wang Baole’s expression became solemn as he saw his companions die. Seeing the wood grains in the sky and the countless Moon Gu surrounding him, his breathing hastened. A strong sense of danger crashed over him like tidal waves.

Something serious has happened!
