Chapter 585: Crushing the Demons!
Chapter 585: Crushing the Demons!
The commotion at the edge of the Heavensky also caught the attention of Xunmu, who was currently engaged in battle with the two True Demons, Wang and Hui.
Although Wang and Hui had only reached the Second Heaven Tier in terms of strength, as Divine Realm demons, they had followed the Demon Clan in their conquests across the lands. They had witnessed battles of the Fourth Heaven Tier on more than one occasion, yet the destructive commotion still left them startled.
Even among Fourth Heaven Tier True Gods, there were varying degrees of strength. Those who barely reached the threshold of the Fourth Heaven Tier could only barely enter the fourth layer of the Void, and even there, they struggled to create much of a stir. However, a battle at the pinnacle of the Fourth Heaven Tier could unleash a storm of void power!
At this moment, the commotion erupting from the deep void was akin to a clash between two Fourth Heaven Tier peak True Gods!
Wang and Hui were even more astonished by Chen Mu's rapid progress after achieving the Divine Realm. In a short time, he had reached this level, and even before, when Chen Mu had revealed his Fourth Heaven Tier strength, they knew he would be an extremely formidable opponent.
After all, this was still Chen Mu's world, and he was the World Lord. If it weren't for the Void Tide Period, and if Chen Mu could freely manipulate the World Force at any time, even a Fifth Heaven Tier Divine Realm expert would find it challenging to deal with him.
It was only during this period that the Minggui General, whose strength had reached the Fourth Heaven Tier peak, could attempt to conquer this world.
All they could do was assist the Minggui General in destroying the lives in the Great Xuan World, severing Chen Mu's connection with the world as much as possible. However, they were now blocked by Xunmu.
Just as Wang and Hui were giving their all in the fight against Xunmu, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, a void shadow tore through the sky, entering the Great Xuan World from the edge of the shattered Heavensky.
"Hmm?"
Wang and Hui instinctively looked over and were surprised to see that the figure was none other than Chen Mu! After using the World Force once to counter the Minggui General, Chen Mu burst out from the deep void and returned directly to the interior of the Great Xuan World. His figure sliced through the sky, heading straight towards Wang and Hui!
"Damn!"
Upon seeing this, Wang and Hui's faces turned pale.
Buzz.
Two surging auras erupted from their bodies, accompanied by a blinding flash of light.
Facing Chen Mu's sudden return, they almost instinctively ignited their divine energy, employing desperate measures.
Boom! As they burned their divine power, Wang and Hui each unleashed a strike capable of destroying heaven and earth, tearing a gap in the thousand-mile-wide canopy of branches and leaves. Then, they transformed into arcs of light, attempting to escape into the void beyond.
"Since you've come, stay here," Chen Mu said, his indifferent voice echoing across the Heavensky like thunder, causing ripples throughout the entire world.
He reached out his hand, pressing down in the air with a mighty force!
Boom!! The World Force of his Interface Clone erupted.
This was the outer layer of the Great Xuan World, not the deep void, and Chen Mu's power faced no resistance here. In an instant, the surging World Force permeated the heavens and earth, transforming into two magnificent golden palms that covered a thousand miles!
Wang and Hui's bodies were engulfed in blinding flames, their divine energy raging as they fought desperately. They nearly unleashed power approaching the threshold of the Third Heaven Tier, shaking the entire Celestial Expanse.
But even this divine energy was like that of an ant beneath the towering golden palms.
Boom.
The two golden palms spanned a thousand miles, an unstoppable force as they converged towards the center, crushing Wang and Hui within their grasp as if they were mere mosquitoes.
In just an instant, the bodies of the two True Demons shattered and were completely annihilated.
"Saint Chen!" someone from the Seven Mysteries Sect exclaimed, witnessing this scene and unable to contain their awe.
Although they had previously caught a glimpse of Chen Mu's battle with a Divine Realm demon, seeing him hold his own against a True Demon had left them with a vague understanding of the power of the Divine Realm. They knew Chen Mu was strong, but they couldn't fathom just how powerful he truly was.
When Chen Mu had destroyed Ma's Divine Energy Incarnation, he had already ventured into the deep void. Even Gu Xiao Chen and the others struggled to perceive the specifics of what was happening, and ordinary Grandmasters couldn't see anything within the void.
But at this moment, within the Great Xuan World, they finally witnessed Chen Mu's supreme might!
Wang and Hui, two Divine Realm True Demons, fought fiercely with Xunmu in the Heavensky, their terrifying battle causing every warrior present to tremble. Even Gu Xiao Chen and the Xuantian Dao Lord could only sense the immense gap in strength between them.
It was like ordinary beings gazing upon the High Heaven, never daring to imagine standing shoulder to shoulder with the heavens.
If not for Xunmu's intervention, either of the two Divine Realm True Demons could have annihilated all life in the Great Xuan World in an instant. They might not even need to lift a finger; their unrestrained auras alone could have been enough to kill millions of lives in the Great Xuan World.
Even these terrifying Divine Realm True Demons were crushed like ants by Chen Mu's single move!
The onlookers were left in awe, witnessing this display of power.
Chen Mu, even during his time as a martial artist, was an exceptional talent among his peers, sweeping through the younger generation and ascending to the pinnacle of martial arts, becoming invincible across the world. Now, having reached the Divine Realm, his brilliance remains undiminished. He possesses an incredibly formidable power that is clearly far beyond what a typical Divine Realm cultivator can achieve!
"How does it feel to face a Divine Realm existence for the first time?"
Xunmu wasn't surprised by the annihilation of Wang and Hui, as a Divine Realm cultivator of the Second Heaven Tier, they were like ants before the current Chen Mu, incapable of causing any significant waves.
His question wasn't about Chen Mu's experience of killing Wang and Hui, but rather about Chen Mu's battle with the Mysterious Ghost Demon General.
Since stepping into the Divine Realm, this was Chen Mu's first encounter with a truly powerful opponent, his first real experience of clashing with another Divine Realm cultivator. This battle was entirely different from the contests he had in the martial world.
The Three Primordial Daos, the fifteen Fundamental Mystiques, and countless branches contain various abilities and techniques. Some of these techniques restrain each other, while others create chaos. But at their core, they all rely on Divine Energy.
The stronger the Divine Energy, the stronger the cultivator. The weaker the Divine Energy, the weaker they are.
In battles between Divine Realm cultivators, for various techniques and abilities to be effective, there must be a relatively small gap in Divine Energy. If the difference is too vast, no ability can be fully utilized, and one can only be overwhelmed and crushed.
"It's indeed very tricky."
Chen Mu responded to Xunmu's question with a sigh.
In his clash with the Mysterious Ghost Demon General, he was even suppressed one-sidedly. The opponent's use of Infinite Transformation Avatars and Cause-Effect Precision techniques was incredibly challenging in Chen Mu's eyes. If he hadn't forcefully manipulated World Force, it would have been difficult to escape.
"You lack the various techniques derived from Fundamental Mystiques, and against an opponent of similar strength, it's hard to cope."
Xunmu replied.
The gap in strength between Chen Mu and the Mysterious Ghost wasn't actually that significant.
Currently, Chen Mu, relying solely on the power contained within his Interface Clone, could shatter the Fourth Heaven Tier. When manipulating the three Primordial Powers in succession, the strength he could unleash, while not reaching the peak of the Fourth Heaven, wasn't far off.
In this situation, Chen Mu's confrontation with the Mysterious Ghost put him at a significant disadvantage, solely because he hadn't mastered any Fundamental Mystiques and thus lacked the Mysterious Ghost's numerous unpredictable techniques.
When the inherent might they could unleash was relatively close, these derived techniques from Fundamental Mystiques became critical. If Chen Mu possessed similar techniques, even if the Mysterious Ghost had a slight advantage in terms of power, it would still be difficult for either of them to claim victory.
"Indeed, there is a deficiency."
Chen Mu shook his head slightly and said, "If we continue fighting, this world won't be able to bear it. We can only stop here."
"A True Demon of the Fourth Heaven Tier can't do anything to you. As long as no stronger demon appears, this tribulation will be over." Xunmu responded, but his tone wasn't relaxed.
Whether a more powerful demon would appear was still unknown, but logically, a Fourth Heaven Tier Divine Realm demon invading the Fanggu Void to conquer its worlds was already a provocation to the Fanggu Divine Lord.
If an even stronger demon were to appear, it would be a direct challenge to the Fanggu Divine Lord's authority.
But...
It's hard to be confident in such a situation.
After all, the demons' strength is formidable, and while they might respect the Fanggu Divine Lord, they don't fear him. Now, with such a huge disturbance, if they can't conquer the Great Xuan World, no one knows what might happen next.
Just as Xunmu and Chen Mu were having this brief exchange...
Whoosh!
A figure emerged from the depths of the Deep Void amidst the surging currents, holding a pitch-black long spear, his cold gaze sweeping over the entire Great Xuan World. "Are you running away without a fight? It's not over yet!"
After Chen Mu forcefully manipulated World Force to clash with him once, he retreated to the Great Xuan World and conveniently destroyed Wang and Hui's Divine Energy Incarnations. This made the Mysterious Ghost Demon General feel a surge of anger.
He acknowledged Chen Mu's extraordinary strength and profound foundation, and he might even surpass him soon. But he was still a renowned Fourth Heaven Tier Demon General, and Chen Mu's casual attitude during their battle infuriated him.
Not only them, but even the entire Great Xuan World seemed to tremble slightly at this moment!
A true god of the Fourth Heaven possessed the power to destroy an entire great realm. If this strike's might were to land without restraint, it would be enough to shatter the Great Xuan World from within.
Even if Chen Mu were to mobilize his world power and forcefully intercept this move, it would still be a clash of peak Fourth Heaven might within the Great Xuan World, and such a collision would be enough to inflict significant damage on the entire realm.
The reason was that Minggui Demon General's attack targeted not Chen Mu but the entire Great Xuan World, and its power traveled along the cause-and-effect network, making it impossible to isolate it beyond the world.
However, Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged in the face of this attack.
"Brother Xunmu, lend me your strength."
"Alright."
Xunmu's simple response was followed by the countless branches that covered the sky, instantly spreading and piercing into Chen Mu's body.
Boom!
At that moment, Chen Mu's interface clone and Xunmu's true body were directly connected, and what he felt was an endless, overwhelming life force flowing within Xunmu's body.
Undoubtedly, this boundless power had reached beyond the Fourth Heaven, but even Xunmu himself struggled to fully control it. He could only harness a small portion, enough to reach the Second Heaven.
But at this moment, these powers were at Chen Mu's disposal.
"Xunmu's true body can be considered a mid-rank divine armament, but it's even more unique than that..."
Sensing the vast and infinite life force, Chen Mu murmured to himself, then raised his hand towards the sky.
In an instant, the raging and surging life force erupted from his palm, transforming into a canopy of emerald tree shadows that blotted out the sun. It tore through the black sky and surged towards the long spear that Minggui had hurled.
Boom!!!
Two indescribable forces collided in the sky.
In nearly an instant, the Great Xuan World's sky completely collapsed, and the surging void power within the chaotic flow formed a mighty tide, covering tens of thousands of miles and pouring into the Great Xuan World beyond the shattered world barrier.
However, this magnificent and surging void power was entirely blocked by the emerald tree shadows.
As the tree shadows stretched for nearly a million miles, completely covering the sky of the Great Xuan World and even extending beyond its boundaries, the raging void torrent was forcefully held at bay.
Bang.
Within the canopy of tree shadows, a pitch-black demon shadow was shaken and flew towards the void.
Minggui's demon body flew backward, crashing into the void, shattering four layers of the void and colliding with the barrier of the fifth layer, causing it to tremble and visibly crack.
"Pfft."
Minggui's body trembled violently, enduring a terrifying blow that instantly extinguished one-tenth of his divine energy.
His aura became chaotic for a moment, but as he stabilized himself, his face grew solemn as he gazed towards the Great Xuan World.
"Fifth Heaven..."
No wonder Chen Mu's divine energy incarnation had never taken action, only using this interface clone to counter him.
It turned out that Chen Mu had such a powerful method.
The giant tree was a unique life form of the Creation Lineage, capable of directly empowering the world itself. Chen Mu's interface clone was essentially equivalent to the Great Xuan World, and their perfect harmony unleashed an unparalleled might.
With the support of world power, Chen Mu's interface clone could fully harness Xunmu's power, surpassing the limits of the Fourth Heaven and reaching the threshold of the Fifth Heaven.
There was a vast difference between the Fourth and Fifth Heavens. Even in a peak Fourth Heaven battle, after ten days or half a month of intense fighting, Minggui would barely exhaust one-tenth of his divine energy. This was because the ability to regenerate was a fundamental trait of Divine Realm beings. Whether from the Void Lineage, Time Path, or Creation Mystery, they could constantly draw upon the Primordial Dao power from the universe to replenish their divine energy.
However, this regeneration was contingent on the divine body remaining unharmed and not suffering excessive damage.
Minggui possessed a mid-rank divine armament, a gun-armor unity, and even with the might of the Fourth Heaven's peak directly hitting him, it would be challenging to inflict significant harm due to the layers of weakening. But the Fifth Heaven was different. Just a single direct clash was enough to deplete nearly one-tenth of his divine energy. In other words, if such clashes were repeated a few more times, his divine energy incarnation would be utterly crushed.
Minggui's fighting spirit quickly waned.
Faced with an opponent he couldn't handle, his once-raging battle intent naturally subsided, and he shook his head inwardly.
At the Fifth Heaven level, staying within one's controlled world, not only would he be a formidable opponent, but even a true god of the Fifth Heaven would find it challenging to deal with Chen Mu. Fortunately, the interface clone couldn't venture far from the world itself, making it impossible to pursue and threaten him beyond the world's boundaries.
However, Minggui couldn't continue his assault.
