Xuan Tu slowly opened his eyes.
The phantom then vanished.
This was a method he discovered by chance: by diving to a certain depth in the sea, he could see his mother and even hear her speak.
In this way, his headache will gradually subside.
The next instant, Xuan Tu disappeared from the seabed.
When they reappeared, they had arrived at the entrance of a valley on Turtle Island.
In a tranquil and picturesque valley lies the cenotaph of my mother.
The entire valley was covered with a protective shield.
The transparent dome, like a giant cauldron, covers the valley, preventing other creatures from invading, ruining the scenery, and disturbing the peace of the tomb's occupant.
Xuan Tu went inside.
I saw some wildflowers blooming brightly along the way, so I bent down, picked them, and tied them into a beautiful bouquet.
Upon arriving at the tombstone, they gently placed the bouquet of flowers on it.
Then he took out dishes of food from his spatial storage, placed them on a low table, and sat opposite the tombstone, as if they were eating together.
The tombstone is inscribed with the words "Tomb of Mother Xuanwei".
Xuan Tu kept putting food into the bowl opposite him, as if there really was someone sitting there.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a tremendous tremor came from outside the valley.
The peaceful mealtime between mother and son was interrupted, and Xuan Tu's calm expression suddenly turned serious.
An invisible yet immense spiritual force poured out like water from the sky, surging and crushing towards the direction from which the sound came.
Outside the valley, a giant purplish-black python was fighting with a thundercloud leopard.
With a sweep of its tail, the giant python snapped a tree that would take five or six people to encircle in half, nearly knocking the Thundercloud Leopard down from mid-air.
Thundercloud Leopard opened its mouth and shot out a bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket, retaliating in the attack.
The giant python tried its best to dodge and nimbly move around, but because of its enormous size, it was still struck by lightning.
Instantly, lightning crackled all around him, and his iron-clad snake scales burst open.
Lei Yunbao gained the upper hand and pressed his advantage.
It was about to give birth to cubs, and to prevent its mortal enemy from taking advantage of its weakened state during childbirth, it had to kill it beforehand.
Killing this giant python and eating it would provide nutrition for the baby in my womb—a win-win situation.
However, at that moment, Xuan Tu's spiritual power swept over with irresistible force.
The giant python on the ground was crushed into a meat patty.
The Thundercloud Leopard in the air was also pressed down and slammed heavily into the ground.
It instinctively protected its belly, but was still hit and gave birth prematurely.
Having "seen" this scene through his mental power, Xuan Tu, who was originally preparing to give Lei Yunbao another blow to completely crush it, suddenly withdrew his mental power.
The pressure that had been pressing down on him vanished. Thundercloud Leopard whimpered and, supporting its heavily injured body, forcefully squeezed the cub out of its body.
The newborn leopard cub was only the size of a palm, wet, and its eyes were not yet open. It instinctively snuggled under its mother's belly and began to suckle.
Xuantu arrived outside the valley.
Lei Yunbao was on the verge of death. The moment he saw him, he instinctively sensed danger, and a strong sense of vigilance rose in his eyes.
It knew that this human had killed its mortal enemy with a single blow and severely injured it as well.
Tears streamed down his large, dark purple pupils, his wariness turning into pleading.
I begged him not to hurt his own child.
In its prime, it might have been able to try to escape from this human, but now it has realized that its life force is almost gone.
The little leopard was unaware that its mother was about to leave it, and it was also completely oblivious to the dangers outside.
It just kept sucking on the milk and water.
This is an instinct of a small life.
Xuan Tu approached Lei Yunbao.
If it were just a Thundercloud Leopard that died, he wouldn't even glance at it.
But when a cub appeared under its belly, it was no longer just a leopard.
She is still a mother.
He could not remain indifferent to the death of a mother.
Because he, too, like this little leopard, suddenly lost his mother.
My mother lay on the ground, her limbs twisted into a humiliating position, her body bleeding endlessly as if there were holes in it.
The bright red blood stained his vision and his world.
"This woman is so damn fragile. I was just getting into it, and she was already done for."
"She still wants me to save her son? Ha, what a pipe dream. Throw him out to feed the zombies."
"...It's so damn fragile..."
"...Save her son..."
"...Throw them out to feed the zombies..."
Long-buried memories kept flashing before my eyes and in my ears.
Hatred swept in like a tsunami, overwhelming everything.
Within the prison of his heart lay a ferocious beast, intent on destroying heaven and earth. At this moment, the beast charged left and right, desperately trying to break free of its restraints.
It seemed as if black flames were burning all over its body.
Just then, the little leopard let out a tender, urgent cry.
His voice was full of fear and confusion.
It seemed as if she was wondering why her mother was ignoring her.
Xuan Tu regained a sliver of clarity of mind.
He gazed at the little leopard for a long time.
Lei Yunbao had already breathed his last, but his still-warm body remained in the position of protecting his child.
The little leopard didn't get a response from its mother. After finishing its milk, it curled up in a ball and fell asleep on its mother's warm belly.
Xuan Tu used his soul-splitting ability—
It is a superpower that allows one to split their soul into two or more parts.
A nearly transparent divine soul emerged from his body, just like his clone.
This fragment of his soul was extremely weak compared to his original soul, and it looked as if it could dissipate at any moment.
