Chapter 584: Xunmu Takes Action
Chapter 584: Xunmu Takes Action
"Who?!"
Hui clashed with the branch piercing through the void, his Demon Body shaking violently, his aura faintly dispersing.
He had previously endured a strike from Chen Mu, losing nearly half of his Divine Energy. Now, his condition and strength had significantly declined, barely maintaining the power of the Second Heaven threshold, making him much weaker compared to Wang.
In contrast, Wang's condition was slightly better. She only experienced a slight tremor and retreated a bit, but her brows furrowed as she gazed into the depths of the void, looking in the direction from which the branch had extended.
Soon, she saw Xunmu's true form:
A towering tree with a vast and magnificent canopy, stretching for tens of thousands of miles!
"Indeed, it's not that simple..."
Wang's gaze darkened the moment she saw Xunmu's true form through the void.
Since Chen Mu was not a simple inhabitant of an uncivilized world but someone cultivated by a Divine Lord-level existence, the world they had targeted was likely not as simple as it appeared. The reality proved this to be true.
This towering tree, rooted beyond the world, possessed such immense power that they felt a heavy pressure even from tens of thousands of miles away. Clearly, its life level was extremely high, and they had no prior intelligence about this giant tree!
"This world already has a master. True Demon of the Demon Clan, leave this world!"
Xunmu's authoritative voice echoed through the heavens.
Chen Mu's battle with True Demon Ma and the Minggui General had been within his sight all along, and he was ready to assist Chen Mu at any moment. Seeing Wang and Hui, two Second Heaven True Demons, attempting to attack the Great Xuan World, he naturally took immediate action to intercept them.
Wang and Hui focused their gazes on Xunmu. With their discerning eyes, they quickly determined that Xunmu was a special Divine Realm life form, possibly a creation of a Divine Lord. Such beings often had a high rank but might not possess overwhelming strength.
"I'll deal with him. This world is yours."
Wang narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Xunmu, then spoke to Hui.
Although the situation was different from what they had anticipated, this uncivilized world not only had a background but might even be under the protection of a Divine Lord. However, such matters could not be hidden from the Demon Sovereigns. Since no orders to cease had been issued, and even the Minggui General was engaged in battle with Chen Mu, it was clear that the Demon Sovereigns had no intention of stopping the operation.
So what if a Divine Lord was involved?
Their Ancestor Demon Realm ruled a domain, its might shaking all directions. There were numerous Demon Sovereigns in their domain. Even forces protected by other Divine Lords would have to yield when faced with their Demon Clan.
"Alright."
Hui spoke succinctly, immediately swinging his Divine Armament long spear toward the most prominent target, the Seven Mysteries Sect's mountain gate.
Despite being nearly half of his Divine Energy being annihilated by Chen Mu's attack, he was still a Divine Realm True Demon, retaining the power of the Second Heaven threshold. This attack, though weak against Chen Mu, was still terrifying to the Great Xuan World, brimming with the might to destroy heaven and earth!
As the long spear swept down, ash clouds spread, and the aura of decay enveloped the heavens and earth, making the world itself seem to wither!
This single strike, descending from the heavens, seemed intent on crushing the Seven Mysteries Sect's mountain gate, along with all the Celestials and Blood Exchange beings inside and outside, slaughtering all life!
But.
At that moment, Xunmu sighed and struck.
The void shattered instantly, and countless branches swept through the nine heavens, using the most brutal method to envelop both Wang and Hui. The overwhelming vitality permeated the heavens, creating bizarre and terrifying phenomena.
Sizzle!!
In terms of sheer power, Xunmu's techniques were only on par with a Second Heaven Tier expert, but Xunmu's innate nature and life force were too vast. It directly restrained them with sheer force, and as they continued to deplete each other's strength, they naturally couldn't outlast Xunmu.
Xunmu wasn't a conventional Divine Realm being; it was a unique creation within the Divine Realm, capable of unleashing power that could only break through the Second Heaven Tier. However, it was nearly impossible for a True God at that level to defeat it.
To suppress Xunmu, one would need at least the strength of a Third Heaven Tier expert! Even if three or five Divine Realm beings at the peak of the Second Heaven Tier joined forces, it would still be no match for Xunmu.
At the edge of the celestial expanse, deep within the constantly collapsing void, Chen Mu and Minggui were engaged in an intense battle.
Beneath the celestial expanse, Xunmu was locked in a fierce battle with two True Demon Divine Realm beings.
Compared to the battle on Chen Mu's side, which was shrouded in the depths of the void and impossible to observe, the fight between Xunmu, Wang, and Hui was clearly visible. Each move and technique far surpassed the scope of martial arts.
This scene left the countless Celestial and Blood Exchange beings below in awe, their hearts filled with emotions akin to a tsunami, stirring and surging endlessly. After all, this was an unprecedented battle between Divine Realm beings in the Great Xuan World!
"Divine Realm... Divine Realm..."
Xuantian Dao Master gazed up at the celestial expanse, his body trembling slightly as he muttered.
This trembling wasn't born of fear but of the reverence that mortal beings held for Divine Realm entities, an uncontrollable stirring deep within their hearts, especially at their level, standing at the pinnacle of mortality. They all dreamed of ascending to the Divine Realm, embarking on that immortal path!
But this path was incredibly challenging, so challenging that even at their level, they couldn't see the door, let alone open it. In the history of martial arts, only a handful had truly reached the Divine Realm.
In contrast to the stirring emotions of Xuantian Dao Lord and the others, many others wore worried expressions, including Qin Mengjun, Yin Heng, and others. As they watched Xunmu's battle with the two True Demon Divine Realm beings with awe, they also tried to peer into the distant void where Chen Mu's battlefield lay.
In the face of the Divine Realm, all martial arts were insignificant, and even the combined might of countless beings couldn't match a single True Demon Divine Realm entity. Only Chen Mu could determine the future of the Great Xuan World.
...
Deep within the void, the thick, almost viscous, void power churned, creating vortex after vortex.
Chen Mu's figure and Minggui's silhouette flashed within, clashing repeatedly, causing the dense void power to explode and form ripples.
"As expected of a high disciple of a Divine Lord, you must have grasped the fundamental mysteries without mastering the three fundamental origins of power. Yet, you can still fight me for so long!"
"This interface clone of yours possesses such thick fundamental power. I suspect you've cultivated not just one, but several Divine Power Secret Arts!"
Minggui, with nearly a hundred various forms avatars, laughed heartily as he and his avatars continued to besiege Chen Mu.
In his view, Chen Mu's interface clone had an unimaginable foundation, equivalent to his true body's strength. Chen Mu's true body, with its Divine Power, was likely extremely powerful, and possessing nine foundations of Divine Power was a certainty. Additionally, Chen Mu might have cultivated multiple Divine Power Secret Arts.
Divine Power Secret Arts of the same type would overlap, but different types would still take effect.
Chen Mu had attained the path of the void, creation, and time, suggesting he had likely cultivated multiple Divine Power Secret Arts. The Creation Lineage's Secret Art was a certainty, while the void and time Secret Arts were indistinguishable.
Boom!!
Another vortex exploded within the void.
Chen Mu's figure emerged, flying backward, looking slightly disheveled.
Currently, Chen Mu's interface clone alone could shatter the Fourth Heaven Tier, but it was still just the threshold. Even with the combined power of the void, creation, and time origins, without a divine armament, he still fell short of the Fourth Heaven Tier's peak.
In the 1691 version of the book,
"Although your foundation is solid, this interface clone of yours can't withstand me. Your true body should reveal itself now!" Minggui asserted as he dominated Chen Mu.
In reality, if Minggui had unleashed his full power, Chen Mu's interface clone would have likely reached its limit. However, he had been holding back, reserving some strength in case Chen Mu's true body appeared. He was well aware that with a Divine Lord backing Chen Mu, his strength couldn't be limited to this.
Up until now, Chen Mu hadn't used any divine armaments!"
The long spear in his hand and the armor on his body were a single entity, a complete mid-rank divine armament," he continued. "It's a gift from a Demon Lord, granting him peak Fourth Heaven Tier strength."
Chen Mu, as a disciple of a Divine Lord, had reached the Fourth Heaven Tier, so it was impossible for him not to possess a mid-rank divine armament. However, such armaments were precious and unlikely to be entrusted to an interface clone; they would most likely be with the true body.
In the hands of Chen Mu's Divine Power Incarnation was a mid-rank Divine Armament, a treasure of immense value that even a Divine Lord would find challenging to refine casually. Its power was extraordinary, capable of reaching the pinnacle of the Fourth Heaven Tier and perhaps even surpassing the threshold of the Fifth Heaven Tier. This was why Minggui Demon General dared not underestimate him.
Despite the difficulty of threatening Chen Mu's life, be it a Fifth Heaven Tier True God or a Sixth Heaven Tier True God, the potential loss of the Divine Armament should his Divine Power Incarnation be defeated and destroyed was a concern.
The mid-rank Divine Armament was of such high value that even a Divine Lord would not casually refine one. Chen Mu had earned it through countless battles and merits within the Demon Clan, gaining the recognition of Shangmang Demon Sovereign. He valued this Divine Armament as much as his own life!
The Demon Clan's strength and dominance were such that even a Fourth Heaven Tier True God like Chen Mu possessed a mid-rank Divine Armament. In the Endless Void, numerous individuals had broken through the Fifth Heaven Tier without such a treasure.
"My Divine Power Incarnation, you will meet." Chen Mu responded calmly amidst the relentless siege of Minggui's Various Forms Avatars.
Chen Mu's Divine Power Incarnation was not in the Great Xuan World but in a distant corner of the Vanggu Void. Yet, his words held a ring of truth—as long as he lived, he would settle the score with the Demon Clan for their invasion of the Great Xuan World.
After hundreds of exchanges, Chen Mu's Interface Clone began to show signs of fatigue and weakness.
He sighed inwardly, acknowledging the exceptional strength of Minggui Demon General, which prevented him from conserving his strength. To truly defeat and expel the general, he would have to exert his full power.
"Is my Divine Power Incarnation not going to make a move? This Interface Clone of yours seems to be struggling to hold on." Minggui's nearly a hundred Various Forms Avatars continued their relentless pursuit of Chen Mu.
But at that moment, Chen Mu's eyes shimmered with a faint glow, and he took a deep breath.
It seemed like a simple act of breathing, but this inhalation caused the entire Great Xuan World, suspended in the vast void and enveloped in radiant white light, to breathe as if it were a living being!
A mighty surge of Interface Power burst through the void, pouring into Chen Mu's Interface Clone.
As a World Lord, Chen Mu could naturally harness Interface Power to empower himself. However, at the peak of the Void Tide, the Great Xuan World required immense energy to resist the erosion of the Void Tide, leaving little Interface Power available for separation. Forcing the separation could weaken the World Barrier in certain areas, making them vulnerable to void erosion.
Chen Mu had no intention of relying solely on Interface Power to confront Minggui Demon General. His borrowing of the Great Xuan World's Interface Power was merely a temporary measure.
With a swift motion, Chen Mu's Interface Clone unleashed hundreds of fist seals, infused with the power of the three Primordial Daos and bolstered by the robust and formidable Interface Power. The might of each fist seal surged to the pinnacle of the Fourth Heaven Tier, causing visible tremors in the fourth layer of the void!
"Well played!" Minggui Demon General's eyes narrowed, recognizing the threat of Chen Mu's Interface Power-enhanced technique.
Harnessing Interface Power was a common tactic for World Lords, but during the peak of the Void Tide, doing so could damage the world. Minggui was surprised by Chen Mu's caution, choosing to engage him with Interface Power rather than summoning his Divine Power Incarnation.
"Infinite Transformations, Impermanence of Cause and Effect!" Nearly a hundred of Minggui's Various Forms Avatars raised their long spears, unleashing hundreds of spear strikes imbued with the power of cause and effect, which crisscrossed the eight directions and collided with Chen Mu's hundreds of fist seals.
It was as if hundreds of explosions had occurred beneath a thick layer of ice, causing the 'ice' to shatter and fragment. Visible cracks in the void spread from the fourth layer to the surface, where they stirred up small-scale void storms within the Void Tide.
The dense and viscous void power within the fourth layer erupted from the shattered void, rushing into the surface layer and causing the void storms to ripple across the entire Great Xuan World, shaking its World Barrier. The already dense cracks along the edges multiplied exponentially.
In the unseen depths of the Earth Abyss, desolate, broken landmasses resembling islands were instantly crushed and swallowed by the encroaching World Barrier fractures.
Above, the entire High Heaven seemed to mirror the countless cracks, as if it were on the verge of shattering.
