Chapter 499: Annihilating Demons
Chapter 499: Annihilating Demons
In the vast and boundless abyss of the Sand County, an endless expanse of pitch-black demonic energy permeated the entire region, transforming it into a cradle for nurturing demonic power. Even the laws of heaven and earth seemed to thin out in this place.
Chen Mu strode forward through the surging waves of demonic energy, each step causing the overwhelming force to retreat. Nothing could withstand his advance.
Boom!
Chen Mu took two more steps and landed firmly on the ground.
The ground in the abyss should have been deep brown, teeming with the power of earth pulses. But at this moment, the land had completely turned into a turbid black color, devoid of any earth pulse energy. Instead, it was filled with surging demonic energy.
Chen Mu's foot pressed down on the demonic energy, his expression unchanged. With a slight downward pressure, the ground beneath him shattered, splitting open a pitch-black abyss that extended to the horizon: "This is where our ancient demon race rests and recuperates. You are not welcome here. Please leave."
As the ground split, a massive amount of demonic energy surged forth.
Chen Mu stood in mid-air, gazing down at the demonic clouds below. He spoke calmly, "You ancient demons, lacking courage, dare not face me. Are you but mice, hiding your heads and tails?"
The demonic energy rippled for a moment, then surged like a tidal wave. From the blackness, two crimson halos appeared, like eyes opening in the depths of the abyss, staring fixedly at Chen Mu.
These crimson eyes were terrifying. A mere glance sent a shockwave through Chen Mu's soul, revealing a glimpse of life and death, light and darkness, creation and destruction—the extremes of all opposites.
The Creation Path!
Chen Mu was now well-acquainted with these primordial paths that transcended heaven and earth, especially the Void Path and the Time Path. Through the system panel, he could steadily improve his understanding of these paths.
However, the Creation Path was still a mystery to him, and the system panel did not yet provide a way to enhance his comprehension of it.
"This is the resting place of our ancient demon race. You are not welcome here. Please leave." A voice, like a surging sea, accompanied the appearance of the crimson eyes. "Since ancient times, our race has coexisted with humans without interference. If you insist on intruding into our forbidden land, even though humans now rule this world, we are not afraid to fight your human race."
Boom!
With these words, the entire demonic tide surged and roared, as if hundreds of miles of abyss were in an uproar. The terrifying might seemed to shake the very heavens and earth.
"You ancient demons, did you not come from beyond the realm? When did this become your resting place... No matter, it's pointless to argue. Whether you were born here or came from beyond, you will not leave this place today." Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged.
As he spoke, he suddenly waved his sleeve, unleashing a terrifying strike. This demon, attempting to block his path, exuded an aura even more potent and robust than the ninth-rank demons he had encountered before. It was likely the legendary tenth-rank demon, an unparalleled existence!
If a demon of this caliber were to wreak havoc on the mortal realm, it would cause an unprecedented catastrophe, far surpassing any previous demon disasters.
In this human-ruled world, where all beings rest and recuperate, ancient demons, who had long since withdrawn from the mortal stage, should no longer exist. It was time for them to return to the dust.
Boom!
Chen Mu's strike was awe-inspiring. He raised his arm, clenched his fist, and unleashed a punch that seemed to tear open a new dimension within the abyss. The overwhelming power of heaven and earth shook the surrounding demonic energy, causing the void to crack and shatter into a black fissure that stretched for hundreds of miles. The surging void energy devoured the nearby demonic energy, eradicating it.
The demon, hidden deep within the abyss, felt a strong sense of threat from Chen Mu's punch and dared not underestimate him. It did not dare to rely solely on its immaterial and intangible nature to resist.
"Creation Demonic Lotus!"
As demonic thoughts surged, the demonic energy in the abyss gathered, forming a nine-petaled lotus around a dark shadow. This lotus, black as pitch, resembled translucent glass. Though formed from chaotic and opposing demonic energy, it seemed to shed all confusion and violence, evoking an indescribable beauty. It seemed to embody the creation's beauty, the epitome of the cycle of life and death.
(End)
Slap! Slap! Slap!!!
As the black lotus whirled and surged, Chen Mu unleashed his Heaven-Earth power, shattering and collapsing it piece by piece. The gathered unity of Heaven and Earth was once again split into opposing forces of heaven and earth, water and fire, each annihilating the other.
"So this is the Creation Path, huh? Quite interesting."
Chen Mu observed this scene, his expression unchanged, only a hint of light flickering in his eyes.
The Ancient Demon Race mastered the power of the Creation Path, a fact he had long confirmed. However, the demonic arts displayed by the Ninth Rank Demon Tyrants fell short of the Creation Path's level, at best qualifying as a branch of it.
Only the Tenth Rank Demon Tyrant before him displayed true mastery of Creation, giving off a sense of profound and immeasurable power, transcending the Heaven-Earth principle. Yet, in Chen Mu's eyes, this power was still superficial, comparable to the Void Sword of the Eastern Sword Venerable or the Time Path of Xuan Tian Daizhu.
Humm!
After a brief observation of the demonic lotus, Chen Mu, having grasped the intricacies of the Creation Path, transformed his attack. The once disintegrating Heaven-Earth power now flickered and vanished, no longer splitting into the eight trigrams but instead coalescing into a unified Primordial Unity!
Having witnessed the Primordial Unity of Gong Yu's blade, Chen Mu had gained insight into the Primordial Unity. Now, with his Indestructible Divine Soul, he stood at the threshold of the Divine Realm, able to clearly perceive all the laws within the Heaven-Earth. Uniting the Heaven-Earth with Primordial Unity, life and death were but a thought away.
Boom!!!
The Heaven-Earth and Primordial Unity clashed, like an unstoppable gray torrent, surging forward with unstoppable force. Despite the demonic lotus' efforts to divide the Primordial Unity, cracks appeared on its surface, spreading rapidly.
The complete Heaven-Earth Primordial Unity was still inferior to the pure Creation Path, but even the power displayed by Xi fell short of the Creation Path's level, not even qualifying as a prototype. Under absolute power suppression, it was on the verge of total defeat.
But.
Almost at that very moment.
Chen Mu, sensing the demonic energy swirling dozens of zhang away, suddenly saw it split open. A shadowy figure emerged, wielding a shadowy spear, piercing through Chen Mu's back!
"Creation Formless!"
The Tenth Rank Demon Tyrant, holding a pitch-black spear, as clear as crystal, forged from pure demonic energy. It thrust towards Chen Mu's back, aiming to strike him while he was engaged with Xi. However, Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. His right hand continued forward, unleashing a fierce punch like a raging torrent, crushing the demonic lotus into fragments. With his left hand, he reached back, grasping the Creation Demonic Spear in his palm!
Crack! Crackle!
With a mere exertion of force, the Creation Demonic Spear cracked and shattered, disintegrating into pieces. The Tenth Rank Demon Tyrant was shocked, his body instantly transforming into a cloud of black mist, attempting to escape into the void.
Chen Mu's gaze remained indifferent. In an instant, he flashed forward, closing in on the Demon Tyrant. He unleashed a punch, not only imbued with cosmic energy but also the power of his Indestructible Divine Soul!
The Demon Tyrant's attack, though seemingly powerful, was actually a feint. He had sensed a different aura nearby and intentionally attacked to lure Chen Mu and Xi out. Once they were engaged, he seized the opportunity to strike without hesitation, aiming to kill them both.
This was a Tenth Rank Demon Tyrant, an existence Chen Mu had never encountered before. He was unaware of their survival abilities, so when he struck, it was with lethal intent, seeking to end them in one blow.
The Demon Tyrant, sensing the power of Chen Mu's attack, also acted without hesitation, employing his survival technique. His body, already a unified shadow, became even more insubstantial, as if merging with the void.
But this technique was ineffective against Chen Mu.
Bang!
Chen Mu's punch directly shattered the void before him. The punch, imbued with indomitable will, swept through the four directions, striking the Demon Tyrant's shadowy body, causing it to disintegrate. The Demon Tyrant's body collapsed into over ten clouds of black mist, half of which were instantly devoured by the collapsing void. The remaining four or five clouds desperately tried to scatter and escape.
Just as Chen Mu showed no mercy, he swept his fist across, shattering the black mist into pieces.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!!"
With each cloud of black mist shattered by Chen Mu's fist, a piercing scream of agony echoed.
In an instant, four or five clouds of black mist were completely annihilated, not a single one managing to escape!
From a distance, the Heaven Demon Chi, whose shadow had been dispersed by Chen Mu's earlier attack, had already reformed his demonic body. However, upon seeing Chen Mu's direction, he was utterly shocked.
He was well aware of 'Wu's' abilities. As a Celestial Demon, even if his demonic body was destroyed, as long as his soul remained, he could quickly re-form by absorbing demonic aura. Yet, Chen Mu had obliterated both his form and soul in an instant!
For 'Wu's' soul to be so easily extinguished, and without the use of Primordial Dao power, it was clear that Chen Mu's Soul Core realm was far superior to 'Wu's'!
"Indestructible Divine Soul..."
Heaven Demon Chi was now filled with dread.
To cultivate the Soul Core to the 'Indestructible' realm was to have one foot already in the Divine Realm, practically making one a Half-Immortal. Judging by the lower ninth stage deity, Chen Mu had already reached the level of a fifth rank below divine!
He and Wu were both Celestial Demons, and in the special environment of this abyss, they could almost touch the threshold of the fourth rank below divine. Even if Chen Mu's strength reached the peak of the fourth rank below divine, they could still hold their ground together. However, with Chen Mu having cultivated an Indestructible Divine Soul, the threat he posed was even greater than if he had cultivated an Indestructible Divine Body!
Don't be misled by Chen Mu's quick defeat of 'Wu'.
If not for the power of the Indestructible Divine Soul contained in his fist, which could force the dissolution of 'Wu's' soul upon impact, it would have been impossible to annihilate a Celestial Demon with the Shapeless Demonic Form in mere moments!
After all, no matter how strong one's physical body might be, even if it had reached the Indestructible Body, the power it could unleash was still on the material level. While material power could impact the soul, it would be significantly weakened through layers of resistance.
In normal circumstances, when dealing with beings from an 'uncivilized' world like Chen Mu, who had not cultivated the Primordial Dao, their Shapeless Demonic Form would almost guarantee absolute dominance, making them nearly invincible at the same level.
However, once these uncivilized beings took the step toward the Divine Realm and cultivated an Indestructible Divine Soul, the advantage of the Shapeless Demonic Form was immediately lost. After all, all paths converge at the Divine Realm, where the soul and body merge into a new, distinct life form.
If Chen Mu had cultivated an Indestructible Body, he and Wu could still contain him for a short time. But with Chen Mu cultivating an Indestructible Soul and possessing an incomparably powerful physical body, reaching the peak of the fifth rank below divine, they could not stand against him!
Run!
The thought flashed through Chi's mind, and he immediately summoned a cloud of demonic aura, attempting to flee into the depths of the abyss.
He knew the importance of the Creation Grand Array and the necessity of stopping Chen Mu here. However, given Chen Mu's unexpected strength, which they could not withstand, going up against him would be suicide. Naturally, he was unwilling to throw away his life for nothing.
But at this moment, everything was no longer under his control!
As Chen Mu shattered the Heaven Demon Wu with his fist, a thread of his soul had already locked onto Heaven Demon Chi. These two tenth-rank Celestial Demons were massive threats, and once they were released, the danger would be immeasurable. Chen Mu could not afford to let either of them go.
"Shh!"
Faced with the Heaven Demon Chi, who was about to vanish into the black mist, Chen Mu, standing a hundred yards away, felt his blood surge. His skin, muscles, and tendons vibrated, and a deep, resonant sound erupted from his throat.
This was the Primordial Unity Mantra, derived from the Six Harmonies Dao!
With Chen Mu's full power, the Primordial Unity Mantra was terrifying. This deep, resonant sound not only combined the power of his physical body but also fused a thread of his Indestructible Soul into it.
The power contained within this single sound was indescribable. Even a Blood Replacement Realm martial practitioner would be instantly numbed, with their bones and meridians dislocated, their internal organs shattered, and their blood and qi reversed... even their soul would shatter!
Boom.
The entire space in front of Chen Mu was shaken by this deep sound, causing it to crack and fragment!
This force was more about the impact on the soul than on the material level. Within a ten-mile radius, the demonic aura was momentarily halted, and the Heaven Demon Chi, who had just merged with the demonic aura to form a cloud and attempt to flee, was suddenly struck as if by lightning. His demonic shadow was instantly shattered into fragments, falling out of the demonic aura like ice cracking!
