Chapter 614: Annihilating the Threat
Chapter 614: Annihilating the Threat
The initially precarious situation stabilized once again due to Chen Mu's intervention, leaving Wing King and the others both surprised and relieved. They continued to assist Hong Lin in the joint assault on the Abyssal Lifeforms, systematically eliminating them one by one. The fourteenth Abyssal Lifeform soon met its end at the hands of their combined might.
This was followed by the thirteenth, the twelfth...
With their collective efforts, the Abyssal Lifeforms were systematically defeated and annihilated, until only ten remained. Finally, Hong Lin heaved a sigh of relief, swiftly flipping her palm downward, transforming her suppression into a lethal grip!
With this reduced number, she could spare some attention.
Hong Lin's full-force intervention rapidly diminished the remaining Abyssal Lifeforms. The ten Abyssal Lifeforms were swiftly eradicated, leaving none!
Without hesitation, Hong Lin immediately headed towards Chen Mu's location, swiftly traversing the void and arriving at his battlefield in an instant.
Even before reaching Chen Mu, Hong Lin had witnessed the entire battle between Chen Mu and the peak Sixth Heaven Abyssal Lifeform. In her vision, Chen Mu appeared remarkably composed against this formidable opponent, as if the pressure was non-existent. He even seemed capable of suppressing the enemy single-handedly!
"Is this the legendary figure who never grew up in an open world?"
Hong Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as she observed Chen Mu's combat.
Based on her judgment, Chen Mu's calm and unhurried confrontation against a peak Sixth Heaven Abyssal Lifeform suggested he might not be exerting his full strength. If he went all out, even if he couldn't slay this peak Sixth Heaven Abyssal Lifeform, he could likely suppress it entirely by himself!
The power levels within the Divine Realm have never been explicitly defined, and the higher the realm, the greater the disparity in strength. The distinctions become finer, and the so-called 'peak Sixth Heaven' is merely a relative measure. Even within this level, there are variations in strength.
Some peak Sixth Heaven beings might only be able to entangle this Abyssal Lifeform, while others can suppress it single-handedly. Chen Mu's displayed strength clearly demonstrated his ability to suppress this Abyssal Lifeform.
And this strength...
...was almost on par with her own!
Who was she? She was Hong Lin, the deputy lord of the Vangu Palace, disciple of the Vangu Divine Lord, and a genius of the Void Lineage. Ten epochs ago, she had already reached the peak of Sixth Heaven, and now she stood at the pinnacle within that realm, nearing the Sixth Heaven Limit... However, her foundation and depth of cultivation hindered her from attaining the 'Sixth Heaven Limit' stage.
For her current self, the most direct path to progress was to comprehend the fusion of mysteries. If she could truly grasp this, she could bypass the 'Sixth Heaven Limit' and directly step into the Seventh Heaven, becoming a Void Lineage Divine Lord!
The Sixth Heaven Limit is a challenging realm to reach, very close to the threshold of Seventh Heaven. Most individuals struggle to attain this level due to various factors, including their foundation. Often, once they break through, they surpass this stage and enter the Seventh Heaven.
Chen Mu's foundation far surpassed hers.
Hong Lin was well aware of this, knowing that with Chen Mu's abilities, even if he were stuck at the threshold of Seventh Heaven, unable to comprehend the fusion of mysteries, the accumulation of time would inevitably lead him to the Sixth Heaven Limit.
When she first learned about Chen Mu, she understood this, but she hadn't anticipated his rapid cultivation progress. In just a few thousand world years, he had already reached the peak of Sixth Heaven, standing at the same level as her!
"Cutting Void."
Upon reaching Chen Mu, Hong Lin didn't hesitate or observe from the sidelines. She immediately took action, employing a terrifying Void Blade forged from Void power, piercing through the void and descending directly.
Sizzle!
This blade of Cutting Void sliced through the void, instantly penetrating the green Abyssal Lifeform's body.
Engaged in combat with Chen Mu, the Abyssal Lifeform couldn't spare any strength to counter Hong Lin's attack. Its viscous, writhing body was instantly pierced, leaving a gaping hole, and its life force was partially extinguished.
Gurgle, gurgle!
The deep abyssal life, having endured the attack, seemed to have developed a sense of anger. Amidst the chaos, it emitted a strange sound and wriggled a few times. Suddenly, a green light extended from its body, like a long whip, lashing out and spanning tens of thousands of miles of void, aiming at Hong Lin.
Hong Lin's expression remained unchanged as she gently pressed forward, causing the void in front of her to instantly solidify. It was as if the void had transformed into a transparent substance, blocking the long whip outside.
Snap!
The whip struck the solidified wall of the void, causing it to tremble and explode with a deafening blast that echoed for hundreds of thousands of miles.
The green whip shattered, turning into a green light that permeated the void for tens of thousands of miles.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Within the void, the Lifespan Sword continuously slashed out black and white sword lights, intertwining with the deep abyssal life. The two forces collided recklessly, while Chen Mu stood calmly in the not-too-distant void, observing the scene.
As Hong Lin took action, he glanced over, evaluating her technique. While the power displayed wasn't particularly impressive, not even reaching the Sixth Heaven Limit, its effect and essence caught his attention, prompting a closer examination.
Hong Lin's techniques were all derived from the Void Dao.
As a Sixth Heaven Apex Divine Realm existence, she had naturally mastered all the mysteries of the Void Lineage. Her attacks weaved together various Void Mysteries, filling the void with their power.
Chen Mu, not yet having begun to comprehend the Void Mysteries, knew that understanding the Void and Time was an essential path. Having already stepped into the Seventh Heaven, he now needed to gradually accumulate and refine his foundation, further deepening his understanding within the Seventh Heaven's boundaries until he reached its apex.
Boom!
With Hong Lin's assistance, the deep abyssal life, already suppressed by Chen Mu, began to rapidly deplete its life force. However, the rate of depletion wasn't particularly fast.
After all, its essence had reached the Sixth Heaven Apex, the same level as Hong Lin. Chen Mu's current display of power was also rather casual, limited to the Sixth Heaven Apex, resulting in a mediocre eradication efficiency.
With Chen Mu's current strength, destroying this Sixth Heaven deep abyssal life would be as easy as flipping his palm if he unleashed the might of the Seventh Heaven. However, there was no point in killing a mere Sixth Heaven deep abyssal life, regardless of when it was done. Instead, he found the current situation intriguing, as observing Hong Lin's display of Void Dao mysteries seemed to awaken a deeper understanding within him.
At this moment, Chen Mu had already comprehended the power of Mystique Fusion. In terms of realm, he had risen to the Divine Lord level!
This improvement wasn't just in strength but also in his perspective and deeper understanding of the Primordial Dao and fundamental mysteries. As he observed Hong Lin's use of Void Dao techniques, he continued to gain insights into the Void Lineage.
In the past, comprehending any mystery within the Void Lineage would have required thousands of world years of experience. But now, to understand the Void, he might need only a hundred or so world years to fully grasp one.
The threshold of the Seventh Heaven represented a significantly different height once crossed.
Swish! Swish!!
As Hong Lin assisted Chen Mu in their all-out assault on the Sixth Heaven Apex deep abyssal life, Wing King and Hongming Lord finally arrived, one after the other.
Witnessing Chen Mu's techniques and power up close, they couldn't help but be astonished. However, their actions were not delayed by this awe, and they swiftly joined the battle.
Although their strength was not on par with the Sixth Heaven Apex, with Chen Mu and Hong Lin's suppression, their combined efforts slowly eroded the deep abyssal life's life force.
Finally, after a period of siege with their combined might, the Sixth Heaven Apex deep abyssal life's green light on its surface grew weaker. The viscous, undulating green body gradually transformed from emerald green to grayish-green and then faded further.
Once its life force weakened past a certain point, it could no longer maintain the Sixth Heaven Apex's might, strength, and aura, which rapidly diminished. It was then completely eradicated by Hong Lin's Void Palm Seal, turning into ashes and dissipating.
