Chapter 689 - Arm Mutation

Li Mu would not have seen these invisible bloodline chains had it not been for his Third Eye.

The chains of scarlet runes that contained the power of the Divine Way were actually the postnatal bloodline and Taoist Principles within Bi Yan’s body.

Atavistic transformation was a process by which one broke the congenital shackles and reversely acquire the bloodline, memory, remarkable skills, and even power of the ancestors.

Therefore, it was actually not something that could be tolerated by heaven and earth.

It was just like a tribulation that a martial artist was to undergo to improve his cultivation level.

These chains made up of scarlet runes directly imprisoned the giant green fox demon, which was the original form of Bi Yan. The purpose was to stop her from completing the atavistic transformation and gaining the power of her Green Fox ancestors.

Bi Yan was struggling desperately with all her might.

The giant green fox demon about the size of a small hill gave off an aura of ferocity and brutality. It was struggling desperately like a ferocious ancient monster caught in a trap. A strong wave of demonic aura surged through the entire space like the floodwater of a fierce storm engulfing heaven and earth.

Bi Yan had fallen into a state of extreme confusion and craze. She did not recognize Li Mu.

The blue demonic aura turned into a fox tail and came at Li Mu.

At this moment, she was instinctively hostile towards all the living creatures in this strange space.

“She is going to use up her strength soon. If this situation continues, her atavistic transformation will fail.”

Li Mu performed the Somersault Cloud skill and kept changing his position to avoid the fierce attacks by the blue fox tail. Meanwhile, he used his Third Eye to observe and realized that Bi Yan was not in a good situation.

“The Eye of Flaws, open up!”

Li Mu was too worried to care about anything else. He directly took off his mask.

He used his Xiantian Skill and Third Eye to the extreme.

The vertical eye between his eyebrows suddenly opened.

A beam of divine light shot out from the vertical eye like a searchlight, landed on the body of the giant green fox demon, and penetrated her fur and flesh. Li Mu continued to observe her and the bloodline chains wrapped around her body.

The bloodline chains broke continuously as Bi Yan’s giant body struggled desperately.

However, new blood chains kept appearing to replace the broken ones.

The young master of the Green Fox Tribe chose this strange green space. It isolated Bi Yan from the laws of the Divine Way in the outside world to the maximum possible extent and minimized the obstruction and pressure for her atavistic transformation. However, the secret in Bi Yan’s bloodline was beyond the imagination of the young master of the Green Fox Tribe, and the difficulty in her atavistic transformation multiplied.

If Bi Yan were not in this strange space, her attempt at atavistic transformation would probably have been a complete failure.

What was the consequence of failure?

Li Mu had no idea.

However, one would tremble with fear if he thought about the consequences of failure in going through the tribulation.

The consequences were probably similar.

Relying on the Somersault Cloud skill, Li Mu had moved about to dodge the attacks for a long time.

In the end, with his Eye of Flaws, he finally saw some sun-like balls of light in the body of the giant green fox demon through the layers of demonic aura. These balls of light were constantly producing bloodline chains of scarlet runes to tie up Bi Yan’s huge body!

Li Mu was overjoyed.

He found the root cause of the problem.

He would surely be able to help Bi Yan complete the atavistic transformation process successfully if he could get rid of those red balls of light.

But how could he eliminate them?

Li Mu kept moving around to avoid the attacks that Bi Yan launched unwittingly.

He attempted to get rid of those balls of light with his Broadsword Intent, Xiantian Skill, and Zhenwu Boxing, but none of them worked.

He did not dare to use too much strength for fear that he might accidentally hurt Bi Yan.

“This just won’t be on. If it goes on like this, Bi Yan’s atavistic transformation will completely fail once she uses up her energy.”

Li Mu became anxious.

He had to take a risk.

He held the Samsara Knife in his hand and activated the Power of White Bones in his right arm.

Silvery flames swirled and enveloped the entire Samsara Knife.

Li Mu’s right arm had completely turned into a silvery skeleton.

However, an unexpected change suddenly took place just when he was about to wield the knife and remove the red sun-like balls of light from Bi Yan’s huge body like a doctor performing a surgery.

His white-bone right arm suddenly released some strange force.

Before he had time to react, he already saw that the force directly pulled the blood-red chains away from Bi Yan’s body.

Under this pulling force, the originally indestructible bloodline chains made of scarlet runes seemed to be very weak and fragile. In an instant, they turned into wisps of mist, which drifted toward Li Mu’s right arm like swallows returning to their nests.

“What is that?”

Li Mu was very surprised.

The wisps of red mist like blood trails adhered to his white-bone right arm, wrapping up and carving it, and then bloodline runes appeared on the white bones. These runes looked like the patterns carved by a master sculptor with a carving knife.

The blood runes of the Green Fox Tribe condensed on Li Mu’s white-bone right arm.

“What kind of change is this?”

Li Mu was confused.

However, the change took place no matter how he thought about it or what decision he wanted to make.

Because the process was getting out of control.

His white-bone right arm was like a greedy hound that came across delicious meat and completely ignored its master’s call. The pulling force generated by his right arm became stronger and stronger.

The bloodline chains of runes wrapped around Bi Yan’s body began to disintegrate.

Those chains turned into wisps of mist like uncoiled woolen thread, which continuously gathered around Li Mu’s white-bone right arm and carved the bloodline runes of the Green Fox Tribe on the bones of the five fingers of Li Mu’s right hand.

In the end, the bones of the five fingers of his right hand turned bright red.

The runes of the bloodline chains wrapped around Bi Yan’s body had been completely absorbed.

“Roar!”

The Giant Green Fox Demon roared.

Without the restraint of the bloodline chains made of runes, her strength soared.

The dozens of red balls of light in her body were being continuously pulled out of her body by the pulling force of Li Mu’s white-bone right arm, like balls of yarn being uncoiled. They separated from Bi Yan’s body and adhered onto the five white-bone fingers of Li Mu’s right hand.

Time went by.

The red balls of light in Bi Yan’s body gradually dimmed, shrank, and faded off.

Two hours later, all of them completely disappeared.

Li Mu’s white-bone right palm had turned bright red, and there were no patterns visible to the naked eye. However, tens of millions of bloodline runes of the Green Fox Tribe had been engraved on the bones of his right hand, covering all the surfaces of the bones.

“Roar, roar, roar!”

The Giant Green Fox Demon leaped up.

Her roar was filled with joy and excitement.

The green fox’s demonic aura that filled the entire strange space instantly entered her body and finally transformed into a brand new power. The murderous aura that used to be around her had vanished completely.

It was replaced by an indescribable divine aura.

Brand new runes emitting divine light were swirling between heaven and earth.

Blue light burst out of the Giant Green Fox Demon’s body and enveloped her huge body.

She made it!

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately put his faceless mask on.

When he tried to control the power of his white-bone right arm again, he found that everything went back to normal.

The Power of White Bones soon fell into a slumber.

His right arm also resumed its original form with flesh and blood.

Even the five fingers that were completely covered by the bloodline runes of the Green Fox Tribe did not show any signs of special changes.

At this time, the blue light was vanishing.

Bi Yan’s delicate figure came out of the blue light.

“Young Master, it’s you… have you saved me? You’re still alive? Boohoo, that’s great.”

Crystal tears rolled down from her beautiful eyes.

She was naked, and her perfect body was like the best work of the creator.

Li Mu saw Bi Yan’s naked body that night when she sacrificed herself on the Heavenly Fox Governing Star in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

However, it looked completely different now.

Perhaps it was because that Bi Yan had successfully completed the atavistic transformation and gained the power of her Green Fox ancestors. Her figure looked perfect now. Every part of her body was indescribably beautiful, and every inch of her skin radiated a lustrous glow, with a refreshing scent and charm.

If Bi Yan was a beautiful, innocent, and lovely girl in the past, then the girl in front of Li Mu was an enchanting goddess with peerless elegance.

Li Mu was stunned at first glance.

Bi Yan was still the same person he knew. Her aura and appearance had not changed, but the impression she left was completely different now.

She was peerlessly beautiful and charming.

She looked at Li Mu with tears in her eyes, not minding her being naked at all. She walked toward him step by step, and in the end, she ran into his arms.

Li Mu’s heart was pounding wildly.

At this time, Li Mu could hardly resist Bi Yan’s infinite charm.

He hurriedly took out a long white robe and put it on her.

“Ah… Young Master, I…” Only then did Bi Yan realize that she was naked.

She quickly wrapped her robe tight, blushing shyly. However, these natural reactions added a charm that would instantly melt the heart of a senior Taoist priest who had cultivated himself for hundreds of thousands of years.

Li Mu had to activate the Xiantian Skill forcefully to overcome the evil thoughts in his mind.

“What’s going on?

“Could it be that the purpose of atavistic transformation of the Green Fox Tribe is just to increase this kind of feminine charm?

“Could this be one of the inborn instincts of the Green Fox Tribe?”

Li Mu somewhat understood.

Just then, the strange blue space they were in suddenly began to shake, the sky split, and the earth cracked. It began to fall apart.

“Let’s get out of here first.”

Li Mu instinctively took hold of Bi Yan’s hand and rushed toward the light gate with her.

They passed through the light gate and came to the staircase landing on the second floor of the log cabin.

The light gate behind them disappeared. From the small space on the second floor, a broken blue fox tooth fell onto the floor. Presumably, this tooth had turned into the strange blue space they were in just now. It must be a precious treasure, but its energy had been depleted.

At this time, Bi Yan already had a cotton gauze dress on her. Her dress was fluttering, and she looked very beautiful, naive but enchanting.

The young master of the Green Fox Tribe and the others couldn’t wait any longer. They had already rushed in.

“The Ancestral Blue Tooth is broken…”

The young master of the Green Fox Tribe looked unusually anxious.

However, after he saw Li Mu and Bi Yan, words failed him.

His eyes lit up when they fell upon Bi Yan.

“Did you make it?” He stared at Bi Yan, looking perturbed but very excited. “It’s exactly the same as the legend. You really have a bloodline chosen by the temple of the Green Fox Tribe. Ha ha, you really made it. The Green Fox Tribe now has another genius who has completed the atavistic transformation. Ha ha ha, it is indeed the blessing from our ancestors!”
