Chapter 592: The Second Layer of Lifebirth Divine Art
Chapter 592: The Second Layer of Lifebirth Divine Art
After comprehending the Profound Mysteries of Life, the second layer of Lifebirth Divine Art became a laborious task.
Even if it weren't for Chen Mu, any Divine Realm Being who had understood the mysteries of life would find that cultivating the second layer of Lifebirth Divine Art would no longer present any bottlenecks. With enough time, they could master it.
Chen Mu attempted to cultivate it briefly and estimated that without the System Panel, it would take him around ten thousand eras to master the second layer of Lifebirth Divine Art. However, with the System Panel, he only needed a hundred eras to accumulate enough experience and then use the panel to directly master the second layer.
Time flew by, and a hundred eras passed in the blink of an eye.
In the void, Chen Mu's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing the System Panel in his gaze.
[Divinity Power Refinement Technique: Lifebirth Divine Art (First Layer)]
[Experience: 10,000 points]
To cultivate the second layer of Lifebirth Divine Art, one needed to accumulate ten times the experience required for the first layer, which was 10,000 points. Moreover, this layer's experience was more challenging to accumulate. Chen Mu had to concentrate and exert all his efforts to stimulate the Profound Mysteries of Life, transforming Creation Power into Life and Death Force, and then temper his Divine Energy Incarnation, gradually accumulating experience.
Despite the increased difficulty, Chen Mu still managed to accumulate the required experience within a short hundred eras.
Without hesitation, Chen Mu chose to upgrade.
Although the second layer of Lifebirth Divine Art seemed like a byproduct compared to the complete understanding of the Profound Mysteries of Life, in reality, they complemented each other. Without comprehending the mysteries of life, cultivating the second layer would be impossible.
Vibrations filled the air as a golden light flashed on the System Panel.
In an instant, deep within the void, a surging Creation Power rose, forcefully summoned by the System Panel. Then, in a flash, it transformed into black and white Life and Death Force and poured into Chen Mu's body!
"..."
Chen Mu instantly closed his eyes.
Although he had been cultivating the second layer of Lifebirth Divine Art and controlling the Life and Death Force to temper his divine body, the System Panel's operation was far more intense than his own cultivation. The Life and Death Force summoned in one go was terrifying, and its quality far surpassed his own efforts by thousands or even millions of times!
At this moment, Chen Mu felt the Life and Death Force rushing through his body like a torrent, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. This force was so powerful that even a slight loss of control could instantly destroy his Divine Energy Incarnation.
The Death Force, as its name suggested, contained the power of decay and annihilation, posing a significant threat to all life. Similarly, the Life Force was equally terrifying. If uncontrolled, it wouldn't bring healing or recovery but pure, unbridled destruction. It was like cancer cells growing uncontrollably within a healthy body, instantly taking over and replacing the original cells, leading to inevitable destruction.
However, when the System took control, it handled this immense force with precision. The Life and Death Force, which was thousands of times more powerful than what Chen Mu could manage, was perfectly balanced under the System Panel's manipulation. The forces of life and death advanced and retreated in harmony, merging into every strand of Chen Mu's divine energy while also interacting with each other, causing annihilation within his body. This process not only avoided damaging Chen Mu's divine body but also continuously tempered all his divine energy.
It's important to note that Chen Mu's abilities had significantly improved since then. The Life and Death Force he could control was extraordinary, even capable of threatening Fifth Heaven experts. This force, which was tens of thousands of times more powerful than what he could handle, undoubtedly surpassed the Fifth Heaven and even the Sixth Heaven's realm. Even a Divine Lord would have to be cautious and couldn't handle it lightly.
But the System Panel, controlling such immense power, did so with ease.
"I wonder what the limits of the System Panel are. Can it help me fuse the Fundamental Mystique? If it can, then its capabilities are far beyond what I imagined. If it can arbitrarily fuse the five types of Primordial Dao for all three, then its essence might even surpass those legendary Great Sages of the Primordial Path..."
Chen Mu couldn't help but murmur as he witnessed the System Panel's display of immense power.
Typically, Divine Lords wield Superior Divine Artifacts, but these aren't the pinnacle. Above them are the 'Primordial Path Supreme Treasures' used by the Great Sages, including Creation Supreme Treasures, Void Supreme Treasures, and Time Supreme Treasures.
These Supreme Treasures were all forged from the complete Primordial Dao, and their power had reached an unfathomable level, beyond the comprehension of ghosts and gods. Chen Mu spent hundreds of World Years in the Vangu Palace, gathering information through conversations, learning only of the existence of the Primordial Path Supreme Treasures, and not even their true power. It was said that when fully unleashed, they could effortlessly destroy an entire domain!
Destroying a domain, what kind of infinite power would that require?
Within a domain, there were at least three thousand Great Worlds and countless Minor Realms. The combined power of these worlds was already beyond imagination. Even a Divine Lord would have to retreat in the face of such might, let alone the vastness of a domain itself, which was almost immeasurable.
With Chen Mu's current abilities, traveling between the Great Xuan World and the Vangu Palace would take at least one or two World Years. But now, he could traverse thousands of miles in the void in an instant, giving him a sense of the vastness of a domain.
According to his previous life's standards, the size of a domain was probably measured in light-years, and at least ten thousand light-years.
Despite the Archdeities having achieved immortality and the power to create a world, they were still limited in the eyes of mortals, just like Chen Mu in the Great Xuan World, who seemed almost omnipotent to the mortal beings.
In reality, this 'omnipotence' was only relative to mortals and a typical world.
Even with the scale of light-years, which exceeded 'ten trillion li', their power was still limited, or one could say, minuscule. No matter how powerful a Divine Lord might be, it was impossible for them to shake a domain.
The Divine Lords, with their divine energy and aura alone, could shatter a Midrealm and destroy numerous Minor Realms. However, even if they ran rampant within a domain, they couldn't damage the domain itself.
But the Great Sages could.
The Great Sages of the Primordial Path possessed the power to annihilate an entire domain, a force that was almost unimaginable even to Archdeities. Even Chen Mu, upon learning this, was shocked to his core.
Just as there was an immense gap between a Sixth Heaven True God and a Seventh Heaven Divine Lord, there was also an almost insurmountable chasm between the Great Sages and the Peak Ninth Heaven Divine Lords, signifying another elevation in the level of life.
However, the Great Sages were not the end of the cultivation journey.
They, too, sought transcendence.
By mastering and fully integrating the Creation, Void, and Time Primordial Daos, one could transcend this universe. It sounded simple, but in the long history of the Endless Universe, which had become immeasurable, only two beings had achieved transcendence.
Chen Mu learned this information during his hundreds of years in the Vangu Palace.
Even merging five Fundamental Mysteries to form a complete Primordial Dao was already difficult, let alone merging different Primordial Daos. For most Archdeities, this was an unattainable height.
But for Chen Mu, he felt he had always been in contact with a 'transcendence' level power—the System Panel. If the System Panel could easily control the power of three Primordial Daos and help him merge the Fundamental Mysteries, there was little doubt that it was a transcendent treasure surpassing the Primordial Dao.
However, the true nature and origin of this transcendent treasure remained unknown, even to Chen Mu. Perhaps not even when he became a Divine Lord would he be able to fathom it. Maybe he would have to wait until much later, when he achieved the level of a Great Sage, to catch a glimpse of its secrets. But that was still too distant for him to consider at the moment.
A thunderous roar echoed as the surging Life and Death power continued to wash over Chen Mu's divine body, causing his divine energy to constantly transform.
This went on for an unknown duration until Chen Mu finally felt his transformation progress slow down. The raging Life and Death forces were no longer as effective in enhancing his divine energy.
Finally, after some time, the Life and Death power that filled the void suddenly stagnated and swiftly dissipated.
The turbulent void nearby quickly returned to calm, and the rolling void power concealed all traces of what had happened, making the previous Life and Death torrent seem like a mere illusion.
But Chen Mu, sitting there, knew that everything was real.
He abruptly opened his eyes, and a deep, mysterious light shone from them, accompanied by an awe-inspiring aura that spread from his body.
"This is the second layer of the Lifebirth Divine Art..."
Chen Mu clenched his fist, feeling the much denser divine energy within him, and his heart swelled with emotion. This tangible sense of growth was the most reassuring thing.
As he momentarily adapted to the transformation of his divine body, Chen Mu stood in the void, focusing his gaze forward. "Let's test my power."
A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and he abruptly raised his right arm. In an instant, the surging divine energy within him was channeled, transforming into the power of life and death, forming a death spear in his hand.
Chen Mu held the death spear and suddenly threw it forward.
Hsss!
In a split second, the spear tore through layers of void, shattering the surging void current. After piercing through four layers, it directly struck the fifth layer's world barrier, piercing through and leaving behind a spiderweb of cracks that spread until the entire layer shattered!
"Fifth Heaven!"
With this strike, Chen Mu had shattered five layers of the void, and his power had truly reached the level of the Fifth Heaven.
Although he had previously displayed the power of the Fifth Heaven when fighting the Demon Clan, it was only through the aid of his interface clone and the power of Xunmu that he managed to land that blow. But now, relying solely on his own strength, he could directly shatter the Fifth Heaven!
Witnessing the power of his attack, which directly shattered the fifth layer of the void, revealing the might of the Fifth Heaven, Chen Mu finally exhaled in relief, a hint of satisfaction on his face.
With his profound foundation, he had comprehended the Life Mystery and cultivated the second layer of the Spirit Birth Divine Art. His strength could be said to have increased by an entire heaven, from breaking through four layers with his own power to now breaking through five. This was a significant improvement.
"According to this progress, I only need to master the All-Life Essence and possess a mid-rank divine armament to shatter the Sixth Heaven."
Chen Mu assessed his own strength.
To be able to shatter the Sixth Heaven by comprehending just two fundamental mysteries was almost unimaginable for the vast majority of Divine Realm beings.
Most Divine Realm beings would have to comprehend all five fundamental mysteries within their lineage and even cultivate a supreme divine art of a Divine Lord to reach the strength of the Sixth Heaven.
To reach the peak of the Sixth Heaven, they would have to comprehend all the fundamental mysteries of the Primordial Dao.
But Chen Mu's foundation was just too profound.
With a divine body containing ten portions of divine energy, he started off surpassing other divine beings. All he needed was to comprehend two fundamental mysteries and cultivate an ordinary Divine Lord-level secret art to almost shatter the Sixth Heaven.
According to Chen Mu's assessment, with his profound foundation, if he could comprehend all five mysteries of the Creation Path and cultivate a supreme divine art of a Divine Lord, he might directly possess the strength of the peak of the Sixth Heaven.
If he were to further cultivate the fundamental mysteries of the Void Lineage and the Time Lineage...
Perhaps he couldn't surpass the threshold of the Seventh Heaven Divine Lord, but his power would undoubtedly be stronger than an ordinary peak Sixth Heaven.
Of course.
Chen Mu most likely wouldn't choose this path.
As long as the system panel could help him merge the fundamental mysteries, he only needed to focus on the Creation Path first. By becoming a Divine Lord in this path, he could then consider other cultivation directions later.
There was a saying: All paths lead to immortality. To reach the end of this immortal path, cultivation in any direction was an essential part of the journey, just a matter of which step came first and which followed.
Chen Mu would naturally choose the path that would enhance his strength the fastest.
"Next is the All-Life Essence... Hmm, and my interface clone also needs some improvement."
Chen Mu's thoughts raced through his mind.
At the same time, in the Great Xuan World, at the bottom of the Abyss, Chen Mu's interface clone, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Having comprehended the Profound Mysteries of Life and Death, his interface clone could directly utilize the power of life and death without the need for synchronization. But with the cultivation of the second layer of the Spirit Birth Divine Art, the interface clone required further refinement and enhancement.
In the next moment, Chen Mu's intent moved, and a surging world force gushed in from all directions, pouring into his body.
With the aid of the system panel, cultivating the second layer of the Spirit Birth Divine Art took some time for his divine energy incarnation. Naturally, the interface clone couldn't achieve it in one go, requiring continuous refinement. But everything was destined to succeed.
