Chapter 553: Return to the Great Xuan World
As Chen Mu appeared, Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief.
In the entire Great Xuan World, Chen Mu was undoubtedly the foremost figure, his strength unfathomable. Although the alien being pursuing them was also terrifying, Chen Mu should be able to hold his own against it.
"Chen Sheng, aid us!"
The Master of Heavenly Lake Island didn't hesitate to call out for help to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu didn't respond to the Master's plea, instead, he turned his gaze towards the alien being that was chasing after them.
"Another one has come."
The alien with the azure-black aura, seeing Chen Mu emerge from the white mist and clearly acquainted with Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island, had a cold glint flash through its eyes.
These insignificant ants were relentless, but in an uncultivated world, it was normal for multiple beings to explore the Origin Site together. However, no matter how many ants there were, they remained insignificant when gathered together.
Buzz!
The azure-black alien had caught up to the group, just as the Master of Heavenly Lake Island and the others were about to pass by Chen Mu. As they were about to cross paths, the alien suddenly attacked, its body resembling a bat as it soared into the air. A surging aura gathered, transforming into a long azure whip that lashed down from the sky.
Wherever the whip passed, it split the white mist within a few hundred zhang, as if with a single strike, it had divided the dense mist into two distinct parts.
The whip not only enveloped the Master of Heavenly Lake Island and Xuan Tian Daozhu but also included Chen Mu within its range, attempting to annihilate all three of them in one move!
Sensing the terrifying aura, the Master of Heavenly Lake Island and Xuan Tian Daozhu's hearts sank. They both felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, reminiscent of their past when they had not yet attained the Dao and were stuck in the Blood Transformation Realm, facing a Blood Swap Existence. It was a clear difference in levels, an unbridgeable chasm!
For a moment,
A sense of impending death enveloped them, as if no matter what they did, they couldn't defend against this attack. They believed they would perish under this strike! But just as Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island froze in place, immersed in this suffocating feeling.
Suddenly,
The oppressive pressure vanished without a trace.
It was as if the entire world had been cleansed.
The two were slightly startled, but at that moment, they couldn't move. In their line of sight, they only saw Chen Mu, who was standing in front of them, taking a step forward towards them and raising his right hand to gently push forward.
Then,
All the pressure disappeared.
Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island stumbled forward a few steps, then stood frozen in their tracks. In their perception, the terrifying power behind them had abruptly and strangely vanished.
This was all because of Chen Mu's casual push, but they hadn't sensed any release of power from his palm. In their eyes, it was as if an ordinary person had simply pushed the void.
Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island's actions were remarkably synchronized. After stumbling forward, they stood silently, then slowly turned their heads to look behind them.
Their pupils instantly dilated.
Within a radius of several thousand zhang behind them, all the white mist had been swept away, as if erased by an invisible paintbrush or wiped out by an unseen giant palm!
Not only the mist but everything within it had disappeared, including ancient trees and rugged rocks, all gone without a trace.
The only thing that remained was the azure-black alien.
He still hovered in the air, his azure-black wings spread out, but his entire body was frozen, motionless, staring at the direction where Chen Mu was. His eyes seemed to convey shock, fear, and disbelief, but all his aura, including his life force, had vanished without a trace.
A gentle breeze blew by.
The azure-black alien's body began to turn to dust from the head down, eventually disintegrating completely. The dust fell to the ground, leaving no trace.
Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island stood frozen, momentarily at a loss.
They both understood the terror of this alien being. Even before it unleashed its full power, its strength was formidable, causing Xuan Tian Daozhu to dare not confront it and instead flee with all his might. After it unleashed its power, its might and speed far surpassed them, reaching a level where it could easily crush them.
In their estimation, this alien's strength was comparable to that of a Lower Divine Tier Five expert.
Even though both of them knew that Chen Mu's strength was undoubtedly at the lower divine tier five or possibly even higher, and would definitely not be weaker than the alien being, they never expected the gap between the alien being and Chen Mu to be so immense!
With a casual push, Chen Mu effortlessly extinguished the alien being under his palm, leaving it without any chance to resist, and seemingly without even a moment to react, it vanished in an instant.
The disparity between Chen Mu and the alien being seemed even greater than the gap between that alien being and them!
Just how far had Chen Mu progressed?
Lower divine tier seven?
Lower divine tier eight?
Or... had Chen Mu already ascended to the divine realm?
"Why were you two being chased by that alien being?"
Just as Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island were still immersed in the shocking scene, unable to snap out of it for a long time, Chen Mu casually let go of his hand and asked the two.
The thousands of zhang of empty space that he had waved away was once again shrouded by the encroaching white mist, concealing the scattered dust of the alien being, gradually erasing all traces of it.
Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island were jolted back to their senses by Chen Mu's words.
The Master of Heavenly Lake Island glanced at Xuan Tian Daozhu.
Xuan Tian Daozhu paused slightly before speaking, "I discovered a strange treasure, a grain of time sand imbued with time energy. After I acquired it using certain means, this alien being found out and has been chasing me ever since."
As Xuan Tian Daozhu spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a grain of sand shimmering with seven colors, surrounded by strands of time energy.
Upon seeing the sand grain, the Master of Heavenly Lake Island's eyes narrowed, and he gave Xuan Tian Daozhu a peculiar look. No wonder the alien being had been relentlessly pursuing Xuan Tian Daozhu; it was because Xuan Tian Daozhu had obtained such a valuable treasure.
Although he was seeing this wonder for the first time, he could sense its extraordinariness with just a rough perception. Moreover, according to Xuan Tian Daozhu, it contained time energy, a precious treasure of the time path. Its value was undoubtedly immeasurable.
Chen Mu glanced at the time sand in Xuan Tian Daozhu's hand and revealed a clear expression. If it was a dispute over treasure, it was no wonder that the alien being had been chasing them.
Although he had collected a portion of time sand here, roughly the size of a fist, and estimated it to be at least a thousand grains, such a large amount of time sand was still a valuable resource worth fighting for, even for those at the lower divine tier eight. Even if the quantity was reduced tenfold, its value would likely remain high.
It was quite normal for a grain of time sand to attract the pursuit of a lower divine tier four alien being.
After all, there was a significant gap between lower divine tier four beings and those at lower divine tier five or six. Their status was entirely different. Lower divine tier six beings often cultivated immortal bodies and souls, constantly on the verge of ascending to the divine realm. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to consider them as divine beings. In contrast, lower divine tier four beings were still stuck before the threshold of the divine realm.
However, the alien being's methods were intriguing. Despite its life layer and soul spirit realm not reaching the immortal realm and remaining at the lower divine tier four level, it relied on some means to forcefully elevate itself to a level comparable to lower divine tier five.
These special methods were undoubtedly some kind of secret technique or art.
Most likely, they were created by a divine realm existence or higher.
The Great Xuan World, as an uncivilized world, lacked the foundation for such secrets. People like Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island had only reached the peak of lower divine tier three up until now.
If the Great Xuan World had similar secrets, and Xuan Tian Daozhu and the others could use them to forcefully enhance their strength by a level, they would have more resistance against the demon race's invasion.
But now...
Chen Mu shook his head slightly.
If the demon race were to invade the Great Xuan World, even a fraction of their forces would be difficult for the Great Xuan World to resist. They would be unable to match them, and the world would gradually fall.
However...
In the 1619 book bar, there is no mistake!
The premise for all of this is the absence of Chen Mu in the Great Xuan World.
With his presence, none of this matters. No matter what kind of secrets or techniques, they cannot break through the limit of the lower divine tier nine. Furthermore, after returning to the Great Xuan World, Chen Mu will not waste any time and immediately attempt to break through to the divine realm!
"The Origin Core Region has been sealed, and the void channel will likely disappear soon. You two should manage your time well."
Chen Mu turned his gaze towards Xuan Tian Daozhu and the Master of Heavenly Lake Island, reminding them.
Upon hearing this, the Master of Heavenly Lake Island hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Yes, I've also gained some harvest and am preparing to return. Speaking of which... Chen Sheng, have you already stepped into the divine realm?"
"Not far from it."
"I have a way out," Chen Mu replied briefly, taking a step forward and disappearing into the white mist without another word.
The Master of Heavenly Lake Island understood that divine beings were forbidden from entering the Origin Site, and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by Chen Mu's incredible abilities.
On the other side, Xuan Tian Daozhu held the Time Sands, hesitating slightly as he watched Chen Mu leave.
He knew the immense value of the Time Sands and had been reluctant to offer them to Chen Mu when asked. After all, this treasure could significantly impact his progress in comprehending the Path of Time. But Chen Mu had just saved his life by killing the alien being, and it was only right that he give the treasure to Chen Mu.
After a moment of inner turmoil, Xuan Tian Daozhu sighed and decided that the treasure was not meant for him. Chen Mu, however, didn't seem too concerned and merely glanced at it before leaving.
Perhaps the treasure held little value for Chen Mu, or maybe Chen Mu, with his formidable power, no longer considered it as significant. After all, Chen Mu had effortlessly slain the alien being, and his trip to the Origin Site would likely yield countless treasures. In terms of level and realm, Chen Mu was far beyond them now.
"The path to survival lies in the Great Wilderness... perhaps with him..." Xuan Tian Daozhu's mind flashed with the image of Tian Suzhi's death, where Tian Suzhi had left some words unspoken. Perhaps the key to the Great Xuan World's survival lay in the Great Wilderness and with Chen Mu.
Chen Mu's journey to the Great Wilderness must have brought him immense benefits. Upon his return, he might be able to challenge the Divine Realm and attempt to surpass that threshold. If Chen Mu could ascend to the Divine Realm, it could be the turning point for the Great Xuan World to withstand the Demon Catastrophe!
Xuan Tian Daozhu took a deep breath, calming his thoughts. It was time to return!
Although there were abundant resources here, and his strength had improved significantly, allowing him to explore more freely, as Chen Mu had said, they had already spent nearly two months in the Origin Site. The Void Channel might not last much longer, and he had already obtained the most valuable resources he needed. Continuing to explore would be risky, and he might lose everything. It was best to return to the Great Xuan World and see if he could comprehend deeper mysteries of the Path of Time with the help of the Time Sands, thus overcoming the Demon Catastrophe.
"Let's go," said the Master of Heavenly Lake Island, glancing at Xuan Tian Daozhu. They exchanged a look, understanding each other's thoughts, and turned back towards the Void Channel leading to the Great Xuan World.
Meanwhile, Chen Mu strode through the white mist, each step covering a vast distance, unconcerned about the hidden beasts within.
Some beasts suddenly emerged, attempting to attack him, but Chen Mu paid them no heed. He simply continued forward, and the Void Energy swirling around him effortlessly annihilated the beasts.
In no time, Chen Mu returned to the starting point of his journey to the Origin Site, the Void Channel connecting to the Great Xuan World.
The Void Channel was similar to when Chen Mu had first entered, but with his advanced Void Dao cultivation, he could sense some instability. According to his judgment, it might last for another half a month, but beyond that was uncertain.
Although there was still some time to explore the Origin Site, Chen Mu had no intention of staying. He stepped into the Void Channel, instantly disappearing within, and swiftly traveled through it.
The interior of the channel was like a stable cave, only a thousand zhang long, yet it spanned an unimaginable distance, connecting the Great Xuan World at the edge of the Vangu Domain to the central Origin Site.
Even with Chen Mu's advanced Void Dao cultivation, he was still in awe of the profound mysteries of the Void Dao.
A step away, yet a world apart!
To truly advance in the Void Path, one must master its profound mysteries. Although Chen Mu had entered the path, the vastness of the Void Path still loomed before him like a towering mountain. Only by reaching the Divine Realm could he hope to delve deeper into its secrets.
Soon, Chen Mu passed through the Void Channel and stepped out, returning to the familiar vast sandy sea of the Great Xuan World.
Almost simultaneously, Chen Mu's figure paused, and his gaze shifted to the distant north, as if spanning tens of thousands of li.
"The Demon Race?"
"At this time?"
