Chapter 582: The Mysterious Ghost General!
Boom!!!
Dozens of terrifying strikes converged, slicing through the void, penetrating every inch of it. In almost an instant, the void shattered into countless fragments.
The void vortex that formed resembled a storm, sweeping through the four directions, causing ripples that shook the entire Great Xuan World!
However, at the next moment, Ma's expression changed slightly.
Within the constantly trembling void, the swirling void storm suddenly dissipated, and the scattered void power gathered towards a single point, once again transforming into Chen Mu's figure, seemingly unaffected by the previous attack!
Ma knew that even with his ultimate technique, hitting Chen Mu directly wouldn't be enough to kill him instantly. At most, it would only cause Chen Mu some injury. But now, upon careful observation, Chen Mu seemed to have emerged unscathed from the previous attack!
"How is this possible?" Ma's pupils constricted, revealing a look of astonishment.
Infinite Transformations, a strike that gathered the power of countless Transient Incarnations, was a move that even a fellow Trinity Heaven Overlord would have to face with utmost seriousness. Even if they didn't give it their all, they would still suffer damage. Not to mention Chen Mu, a newly ascended Divine Realm cultivator.
With the might of this technique, it should have been able to penetrate the Void Form and injure Chen Mu's body. Moreover, Ma's perception clearly indicated a direct hit. So, why was there no effect?
"Is this all you've got?" Chen Mu, standing unscathed in the void, calmly addressed Ma's countless Transient Incarnations.
Ma's previous attack was indeed formidable, capable of forcing even a Trinity Heaven Overlord to respond with all their might. However, Chen Mu's Interface Clone possessed the same strength as his Divine Energy Incarnation, and his own power was sufficient to shatter the Fourth Heaven Tier. Compared to the Trinity Heaven Tier, there was a qualitative difference. Naturally, Ma's technique couldn't harm him in the slightest.
Throughout the entire process, Chen Mu had merely been observing Ma's Various Form Mystery.
"It's my turn now." Chen Mu, gazing at Ma, suddenly raised his right hand.
This simple action caused a sense of foreboding to surge in Ma's heart, accompanied by a terrifying feeling of danger, though he couldn't pinpoint its source.
As a Divine Realm True Demon, Ma had experienced countless life-or-death situations and vicious battles. In this moment, he chose to trust his instincts, and dozens of his Transient Incarnations simultaneously retreated.
But it was too late!
Chen Mu's strike descended, enveloping Ma's countless Transient Incarnations within the overwhelming void power. The sheer might of this attack left Ma stunned and pale.
The void-shaking power far exceeded Ma's expectations. As a Trinity Heaven Overlord, even he felt an overwhelming sense of dread, leaving no doubt that this power had surpassed the limits of the Trinity Heaven Tier!
Boom!!! In an instant, the overwhelming void power engulfed Ma's incarnations!
The entire void mirrored the impact of Chen Mu's strike, shattering and caving in around him. The first three layers of the void crumbled, and even the fourth layer, after a brief pause, eventually shattered!
Fourth Heaven Tier!
Chen Mu hadn't planned to use his Fourth Heaven Tier power, but Ma's strength had indeed exceeded his expectations, reaching the peak of the Trinity Heaven Tier. Without employing the Fourth Heaven Tier power, defeating Ma would be impossible.
Although exposing his Fourth Heaven Tier strength might invite more trouble, continuing the stalemate would eventually lead to the same outcome. Each clash violently shook the Great Xuan World, and while Chen Mu's Interface Clone remained unaffected, prolonged fighting would still result in significant destruction, causing mountains to collapse and the land to split, devastating all life.
With no other choice, Chen Mu decided to end it and eliminate these three True Demons! It was also a good opportunity to observe the Infinite Transformation Lineage's techniques.
"Fourth Heaven Tier!"
"This is impossible!"
From a distance, Purple Shadow True Demon Wang and True Demon Hui watched in shock as the four layers of the void shattered.
Breaking through the Fourth Heaven Tier was far beyond the Trinity Heaven Tier, a
The concept was one that far surpassed the Trinity Heaven Tier in their demon clan, and those who achieved it held significant influence, becoming powerful figures capable of leading demon generals.
As a newly ascended True God, Chen Mu reaching the Trinity Heaven Tier was understandable to them. But the Fourth Heaven Tier was beyond their comprehension, leaving them in disbelief.
While such existences were rare, their demon clan had once produced an exceptional genius who entered the Divine Realm with nine portions of divine power, instantly reaching the peak of the Trinity Heaven Tier. After a brief cultivation period, this genius ascended to the Fourth Heaven Tier, but this was due to an exceptionally solid foundation and abundant resources.
(End)
And Chen Mu wasn't the first Divine Realm Lord born in an Uncivilized World?
Resources are one thing, but a foundation in Divine Energy is something that can't be compensated for with resources. Could it be that Chen Mu, as the Lord of an Uncivilized World and the first being to cultivate to the Divine Realm, has a foundation in Divine Energy that's at least eight or nine parts complete?!
Just as Wang and Hui were filled with shock and bewilderment.
Boom!!!
In the collapsing void, the Void Power surged like a storm, sweeping through the space.
At the edge of this raging storm, a streak of light struggled to break through the Void Tide, escaping from within. This light contained a black demonic body, none other than True Demon Ma!
After withstanding Chen Mu's attack, he didn't perish on the spot, but his current state was extremely dire. His black armor was covered in countless cracks, and even his body showed signs of cracking! Ma was filled with shock.
At this moment, he didn't have time to ponder why Chen Mu possessed the strength of the Fourth Level. After enduring that strike, his Formless State was forcibly shattered, and all his incarnations were annihilated. Even his main body suffered a severe injury!
In just one attack, his Divine Energy was wiped out by a full fifty percent!
There was indeed a qualitative difference between the Third Heaven Tier and the Fourth Level. Even if he had reached the peak of the Third Heaven Tier, he wouldn't be able to withstand even two or three moves against the power and means of the Fourth Level!
"You're not the Lord of this world, who are you?!"
Ma stared at Chen Mu in astonishment and shouted.
He no longer believed that Chen Mu was the being he had fought with before, nor did he believe that Chen Mu was the Lord of the Great Xuan World. This was simply inconceivable, and he suspected that the Chen Mu before him was actually an impersonator from the Vanggu Void, someone of a higher realm. It wasn't unusual that he couldn't see through such a person!
Chen Mu didn't respond to Ma's astonished question. Instead, he took a step forward, his entire body instantly merging into the void and disappearing. When he reappeared, he was above Ma's head, and with a single palm, he exerted a crushing pressure downward.
The Void Power surged and transformed into a gigantic hand, collapsing layers of void as it reached down to grasp Ma.
"Infinite Transformation!"
Ma's eyes widened in shock at this sight, and without hesitation, he immediately used his Infinite Transformation technique, dispersing his body and turning into dozens of Formless Incarnations, fleeing in all directions to escape Chen Mu's grasp.
But at that moment, a faint glow flashed in Chen Mu's eyes, and within the invisible Void Hand, a speck of seven-colored light suddenly appeared, causing the entire hand to descend at an accelerated pace.
Whoosh!
In almost an instant, the massive Void Hand captured all of Ma's Formless Incarnations, and with just a single shake, they were all annihilated, leaving only his true body.
Then, Chen Mu's extended Void Hand clenched its five fingers, capturing Ma's true body within his palm!
"Stop!"
Just at that moment, a faint glow suddenly appeared behind Chen Mu, piercing through the void and shooting straight toward his back.
This move didn't seem particularly fast, but for some reason, it gave off an unavoidable feeling, as if dodging it had nothing to do with speed but rather a more profound mystery.
Cause and Effect!
Chen Mu sensed the attack from behind and instantly recognized the technique.
Although he hadn't yet comprehended any of the five fundamental mysteries of the Creation Lineage, he had already delved deeply into the lineage and had discussions with Xun Mu. Even with the more obscure Cause and Effect Lineage, he had some understanding.
The attack from behind contained techniques from the Cause and Effect aspect, and there was no way to avoid it!
The speck of light tore through the void, and wherever it passed, the void was torn apart like a thousand-layer cake, reaching a depth of four layers, which was indeed the power of the Fourth Level!
However, facing this bizarre Cause and Effect attack, Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. He waved his sleeve backward, stirring up a swirling Void Power, infused with Creation Power. Then, on the surface, a seven-colored Time Radiance appeared, and as the three primordial powers converged, they collided with the speck of light imbued with Cause and Effect.
Humm!
There was no earth-shattering noise, but instead, everything fell into a brief stagnation.
Sizzle.
The speck of Cause and Effect light, frozen in the void, clashed with the swirling ball of light containing the three primordial powers, and after a fierce conflict, it quietly vanished into nothingness.
As it vanished, the void silently collapsed and caved in, creating a shattered pattern resembling a four-petaled lotus flower, penetrating the fourth layer of the void.
"We have our methods."
In the distant void, a figure emerged, their body equally majestic, clad in a demon's skull armor. Their aura was far more substantial than Ma's, and their pressure caused the nearby void to stagnate.
The Mysterious Ghost Demon General!
At this moment, the Mysterious Ghost Demon General stared at Chen Mu, appearing calm but with inner turmoil.
He had crossed the void passage long ago, arriving in the Great Xuan World, and had been hiding on the side using secret techniques, while secretly capturing the cause and effect connections, preparing a lethal strike from the Cause and Effect Lineage.
The methods of the Cause and Effect Lineage were bizarre and powerful. When they struck, they never missed, and they could even kill the true body through an avatar, but this powerful ability also had its limitations. It required capturing enough cause and effect connections in advance, relying on these intertwined threads to deliver an inescapable blow.
He had long realized that Chen Mu's body was not a Divine Energy Incarnation but a refined Interface Clone. Therefore, he had specifically spent time preparing a lethal strike from the Cause and Effect Lineage. However, to his surprise, Chen Mu's Interface Clone had reached the Fourth Level!
The lethal strike from the Cause and Effect Lineage was indeed unreasonable, but it also required overwhelming strength! With his peak Fourth Level abilities, he could use a lethal strike from the Cause and Effect Lineage to kill a Third Level True God through an Interface Clone. But against an existence that had also reached the Fourth Level, it was useless.
Moreover, Chen Mu's strike, empowered by the fusion of Void, Time, and Creation Origin Powers, forcefully erased the lethal strike from the Cause and Effect Lineage that he had prepared for a while. Not only could he not kill the true body through the Interface Clone, but he also couldn't do anything to Chen Mu's Interface Clone.
"To deal with me, a small world in a remote border, even a Fourth Level expert has come. It seems you truly hold this world in high regard... But this is still the Vanggu Void, ruled by the Vanggu Divine Lord. Do you demons not care about his authority as you rampage so freely?"
Chen Mu turned to the Mysterious Ghost Demon General, his eyes cold as he spoke.
The Mysterious Ghost Demon General stood in the void, assessing Chen Mu, "The Vanggu Divine Lord is no ordinary figure. How dare I offend his authority? However, this world was discovered by our clan soon after its birth and marked with coordinates. According to the laws of cause and effect, it should belong to our clan. But due to certain events, the matter was put on hold for a long time. Now, we are here to reclaim what is ours."
"So, I have stolen something that belongs to you," Chen Mu said.
"Indeed," the Mysterious Ghost Demon General acknowledged without hesitation. "But since you have already taken this world and refined it into an Interface Clone, it's not worth us forcibly taking it back. If you hand over three million Primordial Crystals, this world will be yours."
Chen Mu didn't have any Primordial Crystals, but he had learned from Xun Mu that they were special objects imbued with Origin Power, a basic type of universal spiritual material used in formation techniques, divine armament refinement, and even normal cultivation. They were one of the hard currencies for transactions in the Endless Universe.
Three million Primordial Crystals was a huge number, enough to purchase an undeveloped world.
"What if I don't hand it over?" Chen Mu asked.
The Mysterious Ghost Demon General's mouth curled slightly, revealing sharp fangs, "Then we'll have to let our actions speak for themselves. To cultivate a world lord like you in the Vanggu Void, it's likely the work of the Vanggu Divine Lord, or perhaps another Divine Lord. I am the Mysterious Ghost Demon General from the Ancestor Demon Realm. I'd like to see the skills of the disciple of a Divine Lord!"
If it were just a Two or Three Level World Lord, it would be understandable, but a Four Level World Lord, who had reached this level shortly after entering the Divine Realm, was extraordinary. It was almost impossible without the backing of a Divine Lord.
Just this Interface Clone of Chen Mu's required the cultivation of high-level Divine Power Secret Arts to achieve such strength.
Therefore, the Mysterious Ghost Demon General was almost certain that Chen Mu was a disciple of a Divine Lord, and most likely the Vanggu Divine Lord himself.
If it were any other situation, he wouldn't be interested in clashing with a disciple of a Divine Lord, but this time was different. He was acting under the instructions of a Demon Sovereign!
He could almost foresee that at this very moment, at least one Demon Sovereign's gaze was fixed on this place.
He also understood why dealing with a newly ascended world required his personal involvement. It was clearly a covert confrontation between the Divine Lords, as Chen Mu's unusualness had proven!
Therefore, even without a full understanding of the situation, he didn't need to speculate further. Following the orders of the Demon Sovereigns was enough.
