Chapter 507: Divine Armament!
Chapter 507: Divine Armament!
At the heart of the Alien Ancestral Land, rolling black clouds and roaring gales filled the sky. Chen Mu stood alone, facing the four Alien Ancestors, his Qi aura merging with the entire Heaven and Earth as if the Heaven Earth Dao itself was acting according to his will.
The three Blood Exchange Ancestors, all at the Blood Transformation Realm, couldn't bear this overwhelming pressure. Even before Chen Mu, they struggled to remain standing, their shock evident as their backs bent, and they knelt, unable to move even a finger.
Martial Saint Chen Mu was truly terrifying!
This was even more exaggerated than the rumors, and with just a glance, without any techniques employed, the pressure of his command over Heaven and Earth was enough to almost crush the three great Blood Exchange Ancestors. They couldn't muster a shred of resistance!
Their strength was enough to dominate the world, but before Chen Mu, they were like ants. It was clear that the mere pressure of his control over Heaven and Earth was enough to immobilize them, and eradicating them would be no harder than squashing an ant.
Tu Ancestor, who had boasted earlier, now knelt with trembling arms, struggling to withstand the pressure to prevent being crushed by the might of Heaven and Earth. Amidst his shock, disbelief filled his heart.
Could Martial Dao reach such a realm?
The pressure of Chen Mu's command over Heaven and Earth was enough to suppress even a Blood Exchange Ancestor, and no Heaven Man Master could ever achieve this. And among the Aliens, only Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang, the sole Heaven Man Realm expert, managed to stand before Chen Mu, but even he trembled visibly, as if standing was already his limit.
Was Chen Mu, the Martial Saint from the Central Land, truly still a mortal?
Not just Tu Ancestor, but also the suppressed Start Ancestor and Wu Ancestor shared this thought. Even Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang, who managed to stand, looked at Chen Mu with a hint of confusion and helplessness.
Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang's body trembled slightly, enduring immense pressure. His feet sank deep into the ground, making his taller and more robust frame appear half a head shorter than Chen Mu.
"Have... you... entered the Divine Realm?"
Qiu Xiang struggled to stand and asked Chen Mu with difficulty.
At this moment, this was the only question on his mind, and everything else seemed insignificant. The ancient sages once said, "To hear the Dao in the morning and die in the evening is a life well-lived." As a Heaven Man Realm expert, he had some knowledge about the Divine Realm, but had never witnessed it firsthand. If Chen Mu had truly reached that level, then seeing it in this life would be worthwhile.
"Not yet."
Chen Mu responded calmly.
Qiu Xiang summoned his strength, his blood seemed to burn, and his soul was fully awakened. In this state, he managed to catch his breath slightly. With difficulty, he looked at Chen Mu and said,
"Then, have you seen it?"
"I've seen it, and touched it."
Chen Mu replied indifferently.
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Qiu Xiang's eyes. His tall figure slowly bowed, no longer resisting the pressure from Heaven and Earth. As the leader of the Twelve Alien Clans, he knelt before Chen Mu.
"Qiu Xiang is willing to submit."
A subdued voice slowly spread.
Upon hearing Qiu Xiang's words, Tu Ancestor, Wu Ancestor, and the others showed a hint of reluctance on their faces. But at this moment, facing Chen Mu's awe-inspiring presence, not a single one of them could muster the will to resist.
It wasn't that they lacked courage or feared death, but it was their instinct for survival.
Although Chen Mu hadn't truly entered the Divine Realm, his soul had been tempered into an Immortal Soul, placing him halfway into the Divine Realm. Compared to mortals, he stood on a higher plane, and it was difficult for them to harbor thoughts of resistance. Just as in Martial cultivation, one bows to Heaven and Earth, and in the end, by merging with Heaven and Earth, one comprehends the grand pattern of the world, feeling its vastness.
Before Chen Mu, they felt a vast and unfathomable presence, as if they were glimpsing the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
Chen Mu's Martial Arts had reached the level of true Divinity, beyond the reach of mortals.
Finally,
All four Alien Ancestors lowered their heads.
Even as Chen Mu gradually dispersed the pressure that had filled Heaven and Earth, the terrifying force receded, and Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang, along with Tu Ancestor and Wu Ancestor, remained kneeling, unwilling to stand.
In the distance behind them, numerous figures lay prostrate, most of them Alien Grandmaster existences still in a state of unconsciousness. A figure emerged from the architectural complex, walked past the fallen Alien Grandmasters, and arrived at the outskirts of the central pool, gazing into its depths.
As he witnessed the four Alien Ancestors kneeling, Northern Defense Governor Yuan Hong's heart stirred, especially when he looked at Chen Mu's back, involuntarily feeling a sense of reverence.
One should possess a sense of reverence, a respect for the vastness of the world. Yet, the current Chen Mu gives off the impression of being the embodiment of the world's will itself.
Chen Mu.
In just over twenty years, he rose from being a junior who barely caught his attention to now standing at a height that even he couldn't comprehend. Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang is a Heaven Man, and even he wasn't confident of victory. Though he knew that Qiu Xiang would likely not withstand more than a few moves against Chen Mu, he never expected that Chen Mu wouldn't even need to lift a finger. The Alien Race had already been defeated.
A few years ago, when Chen Mu swept through the capital, the methods he displayed shocked the world. However, they were still within the realm of human understanding and his ability to judge.
But now, he couldn't fathom Chen Mu's methods.
In other words, in this world, even Heaven Man masters were not qualified to face Chen Mu.
What is invincibility?
This is true invincibility.
Without taking action, merely strolling leisurely, the might of heaven and earth followed in his wake, suppressing the entire Alien Race.
This Alien Race, which had plagued the borderlands for generations, had always been a headache for the Northern Border Governorate and the Northern Defense Duke. Even the Great Xuan Dynasty was reluctant to deal with them. While sending troops could achieve victory, the distant and harsh conditions of the borderlands made it a costly endeavor with few resources to gain. Furthermore, the Alien Race had Blood Exchange Ancestors who could lead their tribes into hiding, making it difficult to eradicate them completely.
Unable to eradicate them completely, they were like weeds; cutting them down only led to their regrowth. Attacking them would only exhaust the people and drain the treasury.
But now.
The Alien Race, which had plagued the borderlands for over a thousand years since the establishment of the Great Xuan Dynasty, was resolved by Chen Mu alone.
In the entire Ancestral Land, over ten million Aliens were suppressed into unconsciousness. A Heaven Man, three Blood Exchange Ancestors, all without any resistance. From this day forward, as long as Chen Mu lived, the Aliens would never dare to cause trouble again.
Chen Mu stood tall beside the pool, his overwhelming might dissipating. The thunderous sky calmed, and the rolling black clouds gradually dispersed. Even the muddy stream and pool slowly regained their clarity.
A golden ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining down once more.
Hss!
Chen Mu suddenly raised his right hand and lightly flicked his fingers, dividing an invisible Qi into four streams that entered the bodies of Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang, Tu Ancestor, Start Ancestor, and Wu Ancestor.
Tu Ancestor, Start Ancestor, and Wu Ancestor trembled slightly, unable to react in time. Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang, however, did not resist, allowing the Qi to mix with his blood.
"In my life, I've never enjoyed killing. Those I've killed are less than a tenth of those I've saved. This time, I ask for your Twelve Alien Clans to submit, not for the sake of slaughter, but because a heavenly cataclysm is approaching, and I do not wish to see the suffering of mortals."
"This Qi contains a strand of the 'Divine Fire' I've refined. It is fatal to those who have not reached the Divine Realm. This is not to restrict you, but in these extraordinary times, I do not wish to see any unexpected situations."
After infusing the Qi into the bodies of the four Alien Ancestors, Chen Mu spoke in a calm and casual tone. He then glanced at the Northern Defense Duke, Yuan Hong, who had approached from behind, and said, "As for the specifics of the heavenly cataclysm, I'll leave that to you, Brother Yuan."
At this point, Chen Mu finally turned slightly and said to Yuan Hong, who was approaching, "Brother Yuan, the rest is up to you."
With his intimidation and pressure, along with the threat of the 'Divine Fire' and the presence of the Northern Defense Duke, the subsequent reorganization of the Alien Race would likely not be too chaotic, and Chen Mu wouldn't need to pay much more attention to it.
"As you command, Chen Saint."
Yuan Hong stepped onto the pool, standing to one side, and nodded slightly at Chen Mu.
Seeing this, Chen Mu said no more. His figure flickered, and he disappeared silently from his original spot. Even Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang and Northern Defense Duke Yuan Hong barely noticed his departure, let alone Tu Ancestor, Start Ancestor, and Wu Ancestor, who couldn't even sense how Chen Mu had left.
Even Heaven Man-level Qiu Xiang and Yuan Hong could only detect a faint trace, barely discerning Chen Mu's direction of departure. Beyond that, they couldn't sense anything else.
Yuan Hong stared at the direction Chen Mu had left.
And further back, he had also confronted Qiu Xiang numerous times, all due to matters concerning the border. It could be said that Qiu Xiang, this Heaven Man Realm-level Great Ancestor of the alien race, was one of the opponents he had been unable to deal with all these years.
But in the blink of an eye, this peer of his, standing at the pinnacle of Heaven Man, a top Martial Dao expert who had dominated the world, was now suppressed by Chen Mu and reduced to a captive before his very eyes.
Indeed, the vicissitudes of life were unpredictable, leaving one at a loss.
"Brother Yuan."
Great Ancestor Qiu Xiang looked at Yuan Hong, and at this moment, he seemed to finally recover from the pressure brought by Chen Mu. With a light sigh, he said, "In the end, it's you Central Landers who have won."
Yuan Hong shook his head slightly and said, "The vicissitudes of life are unpredictable. How can we speak of victory or defeat? Moreover, this matter may be a rare life-saving opportunity for your alien race. You may not believe my words, but I'm sure you won't doubt what Chen Mu has said."
After hearing this, Qiu Xiang exhaled a breath of turbid air, as if finally recovering his composure. With a distant gaze, he looked at Yuan Hong and said, "With his strength, even if he wanted to exterminate our entire alien race, it would be as easy as turning his hand. There's nothing to question... Brother Yuan, please tell us about this so-called 'cataclysm.' What exactly is it?"
Upon hearing these words, the despondent-looking Tu Ancestor and Start Ancestor also turned their attention to Yuan Hong.
With Chen Mu's terrifying strength, he was still so concerned about this 'cataclysm.' It was likely a calamity of an extraordinary magnitude. If it truly was a disaster that would affect the entire world, then everything else should indeed be put aside for now.
"This matter has a long history, dating back to before ancient times..."
Yuan Hong looked at the Tu Ancestor, Start Ancestor, and the others, then spoke to them with a solemn expression.
...
In another place, deep underground in the alien ancestral land, there was a hidden treasury.
Chen Mu's figure strolled in, emerging from the thick and solid rock as if it were a thin veil of water, effortlessly bypassing all the array formations.
This was the aliens' secret treasury.
For the current Chen Mu, nothing could escape his notice within a thousand li. Finding the aliens' treasury didn't require a guide; he could locate it with a glance and arrive there in a single step.
Compared to the Great Xuan Dynasty's imperial treasury, this alien treasury was rather crude. It was almost empty, with only a few sacred objects scattered on some rough mystic ice.
Before coming here, Chen Mu had actually expected the aliens' treasury to be poor, but he hadn't anticipated it to be this destitute. Even a large sect's treasury would likely be more abundant than this alien treasury.
However, upon reflection, it made sense.
Although the aliens occupied a larger area than the entire Cold North, and their population exceeded that of any province, the borderlands were a cold and barren land with extremely scarce resources. Whenever resources were found, they would be immediately consumed, leaving no surplus, let alone the need for a treasury to store them.
The reason Chen Mu personally came to this extremely simple treasury was because there was indeed something here that caught his eye—a broken sword placed on a stone platform in the center of the alien treasury.
"This sword..."
Chen Mu fixed his gaze on the broken sword, with only half of its blade remaining. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ordinary Martial Dao practitioners might not even sense it, and even Heaven Man Realm experts might not be able to see through its surface and understand the intricacies within. But for Chen Mu, he could perceive something extraordinary.
This sword was completely different from any sword he had ever seen before, or perhaps it was the sacred runes within that caught his attention. These runes were from the Void Dao, one of the three fundamental origin paths, and he was very familiar with them.
He suddenly recalled a rumor he had heard in the past. It was said that a falling star had a broken sword embedded in it, and although it resembled a sacred armament, it wasn't one that could be wielded by ordinary Martial Dao practitioners. After much confusion, its whereabouts became unknown.
This sword was also known as Heaven's Broken Sword.
It wasn't listed in the Sacred Armament Catalog because it couldn't be ranked. It was said to be a Divine Armament from beyond the world, surpassing all sacred armaments, but it wasn't something ordinary Martial Dao practitioners could wield, and being broken, it was only classified as a strange object.
If the so-called 'Heaven's Broken Sword' that he had heard of was indeed this sword before him, then Chen Mu could almost confirm that this broken sword was indeed a Divine Armament, surpassing ordinary sacred armaments!
Within the broken blade, there was a condensation of Void Dao runes, extraordinary and unparalleled. It was something no Martial Dao practitioner or Armament Smith in this world could forge, and the material of the broken sword was also something Chen Mu had never seen before, far surpassing any material in this world.
Weapons wielded by Martial Dao practitioners are known as sacred armaments.
Above the Martial Dao is the Divine Realm.
The weapons wielded by Divine Realm beings are naturally Divine Armaments.
