Chapter 551: The Demon Catastrophe Approaches!
While Chen Mu was attempting to erase the life imprints from the two divine armaments,
outside the Origin Site.
The void was in turmoil, with surging void energy continuously churning, forming a vast vortex. The void tide that emerged here was almost storm-like in its intensity.
The void was stirred by creation, forming tides that underwent cycles, reaching their peak at regular intervals. When the tides peaked, storms would rage around the Origin Site, and even divine realm beings would hesitate to be caught in them.
Following this void storm further outward,
one could see that within a radius of billions of miles, the void was filled with surging void energy, forming intense tides that spread in all directions, centered around the Origin Site.
Beyond that, one could see numerous grand worlds, some similar to the Great Xuan World, and others even larger, often ten times or more so.
Yet, even these enormous worlds were minuscule compared to the vast expanse of the void.
From a distant perspective, one could only see a massive void vortex centered around the Origin Site, with these large worlds appearing as mere star points within it.
Further out, these star points gradually became sparse, until they reached the edge of the entire Vangu Empty Domain, where a peculiar barrier, like an eggshell, stretched across the void, enclosing the Vangu Empty Domain within it.
This was the realm barrier! In the vast cosmos, there existed countless voids, but each void was not entirely connected. Between them lay the realm barriers, which needed to be broken to travel to other voids. Without clear coordinates, breaking through the realm barrier would only lead to the perilous and unpredictable boundary abyss, where even divine realm beings could become lost or perish. Typically, only divine lords of the Sixth Heaven and above could explore the boundary abyss with relative ease and move freely.
This was one of the fundamental reasons why becoming a divine lord allowed one to dominate the vast voids.
Beyond the realm barrier,
across the chaotic and unpredictable boundary abyss,
in the Canglan Universe, adjacent to the Vangu Empty Domain, in the vast void at the edge of the domain, a grand world slowly moved through the void, its entire surface shrouded in darkness. This was the Ancestral Demon World!
At this moment, in the void near the domain's realm barrier, several figures stood.
At the forefront was a towering, massive demon shadow, standing nearly a hundred feet tall. Every slight breath he took caused ripples and waves in the nearby void. He was the divine realm true demon of the Demon Race, Mang!
Mang stood on a black rock, and in the area a few hundred feet around him, black beams of light intertwined, forming a mysterious array formation, emitting a oppressive aura.
"Mang, why have you invited me and Wang here?"
Behind Mang, a dark gray demon shadow, exuding a deathly aura, asked him in a deep voice.
Mang slowly turned around, his eyes glowing with a dim light, and he said to the gray shadow:
"In the Vangu Empty Domain, the void tides have surged, shaking the realm barrier... I have invited you and Wang here to activate this array formation, break through the realm barrier, and use coordinates to create a passage, sending some military leaders and commanders through."
"..."
The gray shadow glanced at the array formation behind him and pondered for a moment before saying, "That primitive world? Why go through so much trouble? When the void tides in the Vangu Empty Domain reach their peak, you could simply create a void passage and descend in your true form, easily subduing that world. I don't think it will take long."
Mang did not respond, but Wang, standing beside him, chuckled softly and said, "Although it is a primitive world, capturing it will serve as a forward outpost for our race in the Vangu Empty Domain. Sending some minor beings to investigate first is a cautious approach... What if there are shadows of other major clans from the Vangu Empty Domain behind that world?"
"That makes sense."
The gray shadow fell silent for a moment before agreeing.
Mang gave Wang a deep look. Indeed, this was the issue he was concerned about. The world at those coordinates was a primitive place, and even a few military leaders or commanders could easily subdue it.
However, there was a being in that world who had cultivated an immortal soul, destroyed a creation grand array, and wiped out some early forward troops left there. This 'abnormal' being was not a significant threat, not even a half-step divine realm being. Even if they managed to cultivate an immortal body and break through to the divine realm within this short time, they would only be at the First Heaven.
No matter how talented they were, without the lineage of the Primordial Path, breaking through to the Second Heaven upon entering the divine realm would be their limit, and they would still be no match for him. His only concern was whether the primitive world had attracted the attention of other forces in the Vangu Empty Domain, or whether a major clan from the Vangu Empty Domain had intervened.
If that were the case, the situation would be entirely different.
In the Vangu Domain, only the Vangu Divine Lords could make the demons wary, while the other races were insignificant. But if other major races were involved, and if a war were to break out with the other major races in the Vangu Domain over a world, it would be a trampling of the Vangu Divine Lord's authority. The Vangu Divine Lord would definitely take action.
Mang hadn't realized this at the time, but after careful consideration, he decided to change his strategy and first send some Army Lords and Commanders to investigate.
Although the 'Vanguard Army' that had been left in that world had been sending intelligence, stating that the world was remote and desolate, and had not attracted the attention of the other major races in the Vangu Domain, Mang now felt that their words might not be trustworthy.
After all, the intelligence they had been sending indicated that the entire world was under their control, but suddenly, a being like Chen Mu, who had cultivated an immortal soul and reached the Lower Divine Tier, with the potential to break free from the world's restraints, had appeared.
This situation was clearly abnormal.
Therefore, Mang suspected that some other major race in the Vangu Domain might be involved, setting up a legacy and cultivating influence in that world, which led to the sudden emergence of an anomaly like Chen Mu.
If this were the case, then the matter would have to be reconsidered, and even reported to the Demon Lord for a decision.
"Alright, let's begin."
Mang quickly retracted his gaze and looked at the array formation in front of him, his voice calm and composed.
Mang took a few steps forward, and a divine energy spread from his deep purple body, connecting with the array formation. The formation awakened, and a large portion of it lit up.
The gray shadow beside him also remained silent, taking a few steps forward and waving his arm to release a grayish aura that connected with the formation, making it shine brighter and emitting a pressure that caused the void to tremble.
At this moment, Mang finally stepped forward, raising his dark and ancient arm. He struck the formation with his palm, and under the surge of demonic energy, his majestic divine power poured into the formation, causing it to light up in layers and emit a dazzling glow.
With the assistance of a Third Heaven True Demon and two Second Heaven True Demons, the formation was fully awakened.
"Break!"
Mang's eyes flashed.
In an instant, the light on the formation stagnated, then quickly twisted and transformed into a hazy gray aura. The gray aura tore through the void, piercing through an unknown distance with a precise coordinate.
After a while, the violently shaking gray aura finally stabilized, forming a surging vortex.
"It's done," Mang said in a low voice, then turned to look at the distant sky, where his voice spread like a tide: "Mangsha Army, come!"
Soon, at the edge of the horizon, numerous demonic shadows gathered, forming a wave of darkness that rolled towards them, as if demons from hell were rising.
"We pay our respects to the Upper Lord!" said the leader of the five demonic shadows, their bodies radiating a vast and powerful aura.
Mang pointed at the gray vortex without unnecessary words.
"As you command!" the five demonic shadows responded in unison, and with a swirl of demonic energy, they descended towards the gray vortex. Meanwhile, behind them, clusters of demonic clouds also surged towards the vortex.
...
Great Xuan World.
In the vast sky.
Crackle! Crackle!
In the two months since Chen Mu and Xuan Tian Daozhu, along with many other Heavenly Human Masters, ventured into the Source Site's Great Wilderness to explore, three Blood Transformation Realm experts from the Seven Profound Sect's rear mountain had consecutively attained Heavenly Human Unity. Yin Heng was just one of them.
Just as everyone had anticipated, after Chen Mu left behind the complete Heaven Earth Primordial Map that encompassed the entire Path of Time, Heavenly Human Masters began to emerge like spring bamboo shoots after rain. After all, there were countless Blood Transformation experts in the world, many of whom had been stuck at the threshold of Heavenly Human Realm for nearly a century. They had accumulated nearly a hundred years of experience, lacking only that spark of enlightenment and guidance.
Chen Mu's Heaven Earth Primordial Map served as the perfect guide, even surpassing the original map.
Boom!
Qin Mengjun and Yin Heng clashed once more, their collision tearing through the Great Xuan World's realm barrier and creating a black crack in the sky. The appearance of this crack caused both of them to retreat and cease their attack.
"Hahaha..."
Yin Heng stroked his long beard, laughing heartily with a sense of exhilaration.
After a century of stagnation, finally attaining enlightenment and achieving Heavenly Human Unity, this feeling of exhilaration was indescribable, especially when discussing the path with Qin Mengjun, experiencing the state of Heavenly Human Unity, and witnessing the methods—it was an incredibly refreshing sensation.
"Congratulations, Master."
Qin Mengjun smiled slightly. Yin Heng's achievement of Heavenly Human Unity was a cause for celebration.
Yin Heng laughed for a while, then sighed, "Heavenly Human Unity... If not for his Heaven Earth Primordial Map, I might never have understood this path, even until the day I die."
Qin Mengjun nodded slightly, "In my opinion, it won't be long before he takes that final step."
"That final step..."
Yin Heng looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with even more emotion.
As a mortal pursuing the martial path, could he really witness the moment of Martial Ascension to Divinity within his lifetime?
Just as Yin Heng was thinking about Chen Mu, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, both Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun's faces changed slightly, and they looked towards the distant horizon. Their expressions shifted simultaneously.
At the edge of their vision, the sky suddenly darkened, and then, in the darkness, the void ripped open, creating black fissures!
"That's... No!"
Yin Heng stared intently at the suddenly ruptured void, and his heart trembled. He saw black mist seeping out from the fissures, spreading and falling like a blanket.
Despite the great distance, Yin Heng, now at the Heavenly Human Level and in a state of Heavenly Human Unity, could vaguely sense the changes in the world and feel the intense upheaval and repulsion.
That black mist...
There was no doubt—it was undoubtedly demonic energy!
Such vast demonic energy had torn through the sky, and the situation was clear...
The Demon Catastrophe had arrived!
...
Source Site Core Region.
Chen Mu strolled through a canyon, each step covering a vast distance. In his hand, he played with a flying spear—the Void Dao Divine Armament that had fallen into his possession.
At this moment, the spear no longer struggled in his hand but circled obediently around his fingertips, even disappearing into the void with a mere thought before reappearing on his shoulder.
"A complete Void Dao Divine Armament indeed has formidable power."
"Using this armament to harness Void Energy, I only need a single Void Enlightenment to unleash the might of a Divine Rank Nine, directly breaking through the First Heaven."
Chen Mu reached out and grabbed the spear, nodding slightly with satisfaction.
In the past few days, while in the Source Site Core Region, he had been refining the armament and continuing his journey. He had acquired a Time Dao Divine Armament, and now he had Divine Armaments of Void, Time, and Creation. However, he had only refined the Void Dao flying spear; the other two armaments were still in the process of refinement.
After attaining Creation Enlightenment, he could indeed erase others' Life Imprints much faster. In just a few short days, he had removed the imprints of alien beings from the flying spear.
"Hmm?"
Just as Chen Mu continued refining the other two armaments, he suddenly felt an invisible oppression pressing down on him.
Chen Mu quickly realized that this was the Source Site Core Region's repulsion. His time in the Core Region was limited; he needed to leave soon or risk being pushed out into the void!
It was time to stop.
