Chapter 613: Sixth Heaven Apex?
Chapter 613: Sixth Heaven Apex?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound, like thunder, reverberated through the void, causing it to tremble endlessly.
Normally, sound travels at a limited speed, and over a vast expanse of millions of miles, it should be extremely slow, making it difficult to hear. However, once Divine Realm beings reach a certain level, they can easily shatter the void, causing it to tremble.
The void in the area of Dark Heaven Abyss was unique, without the usual overlapping layers, and it was even difficult to shatter. Yet, the clash of numerous Sixth Heaven Divine True Deities still made the void tremble.
This thunderous roar originated from the trembling void.
Led by Wing King and Hongming Realm Lord, the group of Sixth Heaven Divine Realm beings launched a full-scale assault on a deep abyssal lifeform, naturally gaining an absolute advantage. However, due to the minimal power gap between them, even with their combined might, they couldn't instantly annihilate the abyssal creature. Instead, they had to gradually destroy its life force until it was completely eradicated.
Divine Realm beings were different from others; the weaker their power, the greater their numerical advantage. At the Divine Realm level, the disparity in realms far exceeded the difference in numbers. Even if it were a Sixth Heaven Apex abyssal lifeform, no matter how many True Deities of Wing King's caliber joined forces, it would be impossible to eliminate the opponent, and even suppressing it would be challenging.
Fortunately,
None of the abyssal lifeforms that appeared had reached the Sixth Heaven Apex, and Hong Lin was powerful enough to confine sixteen of them single-handedly, giving the others ample time to eliminate them one by one.
The fierce battle in the void continued.
"Roar!"
The abyssal lifeform, lacking intelligence and any intention to flee, fought ferociously against Wing King and the others. Despite its formidable power, it was no match for the numerous True Deities of similar strength, and its life force gradually weakened as it took hit after hit.
Time passed, and the life force of the abyssal lifeform grew weaker and weaker. Finally, at a certain point, it plummeted from the typical Sixth Heaven strength to the threshold of Sixth Heaven.
"Shocking Feathers!"
Wing King's eyes flashed, and his figure streaked through the void, gathering countless flying feathers into a single point, piercing through the center of the abyssal lifeform's body.
Countless feathers then exploded from within, tearing its body to shreds! The life force and power of the abyssal lifeform plummeted, and it could no longer withstand the siege of the numerous Sixth Heaven Divine Realm beings. The fragmented body pieces shattered, each emitting a chaotic roar before vanishing into nothingness.
"Phew."
Seeing that they had finally managed to eliminate one abyssal lifeform through their combined efforts, the group heaved a collective sigh of relief.
"Don't stop!"
Hong Lin, seeing this, immediately spoke up, not waiting for the others to react. She waved her hand forward, and one of the sixteen abyssal lifeforms she had suppressed separated from the rest.
"Everyone, attack!"
Hongming Realm Lord, without hesitation, took a step forward and launched an assault on the separated abyssal lifeform, while the others rushed forward to join the siege.
Hong Lin, who had just separated another abyssal lifeform, breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally gotten a moment's respite.
Suppressing seventeen Sixth Heaven abyssal lifeforms was almost her limit. While sixteen were slightly easier, it still put considerable pressure on her, and the consumption of divine power during the suppression was significant, making it unsustainable for long periods.
However, with just fifteen left, she could stabilize the situation and even permanently suppress them, allowing her to wait patiently for Wing King and Hongming Realm Lord to finish off the others, no matter how long it took.
But,
During the Dark Heaven Tide, it was still better to eliminate them quickly. If she could finish off four or five more, she could free her hands from suppression and actively join the assault, cooperating with the others to increase the killing speed.
Time passed as the group continued their siege, and soon, the sixteenth abyssal lifeform was also vanquished.
Immediately after,
The fifteenth, the fourteenth...
Just as the group was about to eliminate the fourteenth abyssal lifeform, the situation they dreaded finally occurred. A clear green light appeared from the distant Dark Heaven Abyss, swiftly flying away.
Hong Lin's heart sank as she witnessed the new abyssal lifeform emerging.
"A little too slow..."
The speed at which Wing King and the others were eliminating the abyssal lifeforms was indeed a bit slow. They had spent too much time on the three lifeforms, and by the time they reached the fourteenth, it was already too late. If they had been a little faster and eliminated two more, Hong Lin could have joined the fight, switching from suppression to active assault, and together with the others, they could have eliminated all the abyssal lifeforms in a short time.
But now, with the delay and the appearance of a new abyssal lifeform of unknown strength,
"I hope it's just a weak abyssal lifeform," Hong Lin thought to herself.
At the same time,
Wing King, Hongming Realm Lord, and the others also noticed the new abyssal lifeform, their expressions changing.
As Divine Realm beings, none of them dared to slack off at this critical moment. After a brief exchange of glances, Wing King took the initiative, saying,
"Just one, I'll handle it."
Among them, Wing King was the fastest in void travel, aside from Hong Lin, and he was also more adept at entanglement.
The newly emerged abyssal lifeform's strength was currently unknown. If it were only a Sixth Heaven Threshold lifeform, Wing King could suppress or even eliminate it alone. If it were of similar strength, he could still entangle and block it.
The others had no objections to Wing King's decision; it was indeed the most suitable choice. The remaining group continued their assault on the fourteenth abyssal lifeform, while Wing King summoned his countless flying feathers and flew towards the distant green light.
Swish!
Wing King's speed was astonishing, swiftly chasing after the new abyssal lifeform. Without even observing its condition, he struck out, slicing through the void.
The countless feathers instantly converged into a white line, slicing through the green light, freezing it in place.
From afar, Hong Lin and Hongming Realm Lord also witnessed this scene, their eyes flashing.
This,
seems to be an incredibly weak Abyssal Life?
However, in the next moment, everyone's faces changed.
Boom!!!
In their perception, a mighty and overwhelming aura surged forth, no less intimidating than Hong Lin's. Accompanying this was a vast, wave-like green light screen that swept over the area.
The condensed white feathers that Wing King had manifested shattered, disintegrating into countless feathers that scattered in all directions. Simultaneously, Wing King's body was sent flying backward in the void.
Although Wing King wasn't injured, the head-on collision allowed him to fully assess his opponent's strength. As his body was blown away, his expression turned grim.
Sixth Heaven Apex!
The opponent had completely nullified his attack and, with a single counter, sent him flying. This strength could only belong to a Sixth Heaven Apex, a power comparable to Hong Lin's level and far surpassing his own!
"Oh no!"
Lord Hongming and the others felt their hearts sink.
The Sixth Heaven Apex Abyssal Life was far stronger than Wing King. Although Wing King could hold out for a while, relying solely on his own strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand the onslaught for long.
If they sent more people to help Wing King, it would further slow down their extermination of the Abyssal Life. In the Dark Heaven Tide, the longer they delayed, the more unfavorable the situation would become. If more powerful Abyssal Lives appeared, the situation would turn dire!
However,
Just as everyone's thoughts were racing, seeking a solution,
Suddenly, a serene aura emanated from the void. They turned to see a figure striding through the void, with a jade-green divine sword floating behind him. It was Chen Mu, who had remained uninvolved until now!
"I'm counting on you."
Hong Lin immediately sensed Chen Mu's approach. Seeing Chen Mu, she felt a sense of relief, knowing that Chen Mu should have almost completed the refinement of the Lifespan Sword by now.
With Chen Mu's strength, he was undoubtedly no weaker than Wing King and might even be stronger. With Chen Mu's assistance, they could hold off the Sixth Heaven Apex Abyssal Life by joining forces with Wing King. As long as they could withstand it for a while, they could continue to eliminate the Abyssal Lives one by one.
Chen Mu nodded slightly at Hong Lin and then strode towards the Sixth Heaven Apex Abyssal Life.
Swish!
At this moment, Wing King had already exchanged over ten moves with the Abyssal Life, clearly outmatched, and was continuously forced to retreat. He could only use various means to prolong the fight. Just as he was about to be blasted away again, Chen Mu arrived nearby!
Chen Mu gazed at the Abyssal Life, and with a light wave of his right hand, the Lifespan Sword floating behind him soared into the air, unleashing a surging and dazzling sword light towards the Abyssal Life.
Buzz!
This sword strike seemed to tear through the void like an invisible thread, dividing the world into black and white.
The black and white sword light of life and death collided with the green glow, producing a booming sound that shook the void. After a brief stalemate, the green glow was finally torn apart!
The torn green glow finally revealed the form of the Abyssal Life, which was a green, viscous, and flowing mass without limbs, exuding a chaotic aura.
The appearance of this strange Abyssal Life didn't surprise everyone, but Chen Mu's previous sword strike that severed life and death did startle them all, including Hong Lin, whose eyes flashed.
Especially Wing King, who was the closest, was even more astonished.
Sixth Heaven Apex!
Undoubtedly, that previous sword strike had undoubtedly reached the Sixth Heaven Apex, far surpassing his own strength!
He remembered that it was only thousands of world years ago that Chen Mu had first shown Sixth Heaven strength. At that time, Chen Mu hadn't mastered the divine sword, but even if he had, his strength would have been comparable to Wing King's, with little difference.
But now, thousands of world years later, Chen Mu's strength had reached the Sixth Heaven Apex, and he held a mid-tier divine sword!
"I'll handle this Abyssal Life. Wing King, go over there."
After Chen Mu's sword tore through the protective spiritual light of the Abyssal Life, he stood in the void, and the Lifespan Sword floated above and below him. He calmly transmitted his voice to Wing King.
Wing King looked deeply at Chen Mu and quickly responded.
"Alright."
Without hesitation, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and returned to Lord Hongming and the others.
Lord Hongming and the others looked in Chen Mu's direction, their hearts filled with astonishment. They all knew that Chen Mu had an extraordinary background, and even the Vangu Palace Lord had treated him with great respect.
According to their knowledge, Chen Mu had first displayed Sixth Heaven strength thousands of world years ago, and now, thousands of world years later, he had reached the Sixth Heaven Apex, an astonishing talent.
The Sixth Heaven is the final step before becoming a Divine Lord, and it's also the most challenging stage for most beings.
Some spend thousands of eras without advancing, while others can make rapid progress within thousands of world years, reaching the Sixth Heaven Apex upon entering the Sixth Heaven.
"In such a short time, he has reached this level. With this talent, there's a good chance he'll break through the Seventh Heaven's boundary and become a Divine Lord in the future. No wonder the Vangu Palace Lord treats him with such respect."
Lord Hongming muttered to himself.
He had always wanted to establish a connection with Chen Mu but never found a suitable opportunity.
After this Dark Heaven Tide, he would definitely pay Chen Mu a visit. However, with Chen Mu's strength now at the Sixth Heaven Apex, surpassing his own, it would be more challenging to build a relationship.
On the other side,
Hong Lin watched Chen Mu's actions, and after a brief moment of surprise, she quickly calmed down.
She had always believed that Chen Mu's strength would approach the Sixth Heaven Apex after refining the Lifespan Sword, and now that he had truly reached the Sixth Heaven Apex, it was within her expected range. Given Chen Mu's talent and foundation, achieving this was not surprising.
