Chapter 629: Annihilation
Chapter 629: Annihilation
What a terrifying might!
With just a glance, Man Hui, the Demon General, sensed the terror of that sword beam. Wherever the rainbow-like beam reached, the sixth layer of the void was torn apart, and even the seventh layer trembled!
Although the seventh layer of the void didn't shatter, the ability to shake it was not something a Sixth Heaven Apex True Deity could achieve. Only by reaching the Sixth Heaven Limit, infinitely close to the Seventh Heaven, could such a feat be possible.
"Black Light!"
Facing Chen Mu's sword, Man Hui didn't dare to be careless. With a roar, he brandished his demon blade, and in that instant, the blade seemed to tear through all creation, transforming into an indescribable black light that shot forward, colliding with the sword beam.
Boom!
The black light clashed with the sword beam, and in the void, black and white intertwined. But in just a fleeting moment, the intertwining forces exploded, and the Floating Life Sword burst out from the black and white radiance, rushing towards Man Hui.
Man Hui's face changed again, and he raised his demon blade to block the attack.
Dong!
A sound like an ancient temple bell reverberated through the void, shaking the void and causing layer after layer of the void to shatter.
Man Hui's body trembled, and he flew backward, crashing through layer after layer of the void, flying for several thousand li before finally coming to a stop.
"It's you!"
Man Hui stared at the void ahead, his pitch-black eyes revealing a dark and gloomy expression.
The Sixth Heaven Limit, this was a level not easily reached by anyone. To achieve this, one needed not only innate talent and resources but also a solid foundation. Most Divine Realms couldn't step into this realm; they either remained at the Sixth Heaven Apex or directly entered the Seventh Heaven Archon level.
Hence, there were even fewer Sixth Heaven Limit Divine Realms than Divine Lords.
In places like the Ancestral Demon Realm and the Ancestral Demon Domain, with their vast power and prosperity, there was only one Sixth Heaven Limit Divine Realm True Demon. The rest were at most Sixth Heaven Apex.
Of course,
What made Man Hui's heart stir with indescribable emotions was that he recognized the origin of that sword beam.
Nowadays, in many voids, Chen Mu's name had already spread far and wide. But Man Hui knew that just less than two million world years ago, Chen Mu was merely a newborn Divine Realm from an uncultivated world that had just come into existence.
At that time, Man Hui was also aware of the situation, and he knew that Mengji, the Demon General, had accepted a mission to seize that world.
As a Sixth Heaven Apex existence, Man Hui knew even more. He understood that this was a test for the Vangu Void and the Vangu Divine Lord, so he paid attention to the matter. But at that time, he didn't care about Chen Mu at all.
A mere newborn Divine Realm from an uncultivated world was like an ant, easily crushed with a flick of a finger.
However, the outcome greatly exceeded his expectations.
Not only did Chen Mu escape Mengji's attempt to annihilate him, but he also forcefully resisted Mengji. In the end, when the Lord of Sorrow personally intervened, the Vangu Divine Lord expelled him, and this newborn Divine Realm, Chen Mu, survived the clash between the two voids.
The next time Man Hui heard of Chen Mu, it was in the Dark Abyss. When he learned of Chen Mu's achievements, he was greatly shocked. In just a mere ten thousand years, Chen Mu had risen from a newborn Divine Realm to the Sixth Heaven Apex, reaching a level equal to his own!
To reach the Sixth Heaven Apex was no easy feat for Man Hui; he had endured countless hardships and battles, seizing countless opportunities and overcoming numerous difficulties to get there.
But Chen Mu seemed to have achieved it as easily as eating and drinking, reaching this level in just ten thousand years.
His heart was filled with indescribable emotions.
And now,
After just a few thousand world years, on the Void River, he truly encountered Chen Mu again, only to be horrified to discover that he was no longer Chen Mu's match. Chen Mu had surpassed the Sixth Heaven Apex and reached the Sixth Heaven Limit!
"..."
Chen Mu's figure quietly emerged from the distant void, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at Man Hui. His expression was calm, without a ripple of emotion, and he had no intention of conversing with Man Hui. With a mere thought, the Floating Life Sword unleashed a sword beam, tearing through layer after layer of the void, pressing towards Man Hui once more.
Seeing this, Man Hui's heart trembled, and without hesitation, he raised his demon blade and slashed out a beam of light. Simultaneously, his body was enveloped in patches of dark fog, and in an instant, he broke through the void, fleeing towards the distance.
Escape!
Being surpassed by someone who had only cultivated for less than two million world years, naturally left him feeling bitter. But he was even more aware that he was no match for Chen Mu. The gap between the Sixth Heaven Apex and the Sixth Heaven Limit was significant, perhaps even greater than the gap between him and Hei Liu.
Although a Sixth Heaven Apex practitioner can withstand the Sixth Heaven Limit to some extent, the prerequisite is to not engage in an all-out battle. The natural outcome of such a bloodbath is clear—the True Body's annihilation!
Vangu Palace Master Taichen faced a similar situation. He encountered a Sixth Heaven Limit practitioner and, due to the extremely unique circumstances of the region, he found it difficult to escape. He had no choice but to engage in a bloody battle with the Sixth Heaven Limit practitioner, and eventually, he was on the verge of perishing. If not for his breakthrough in understanding the mystery of fusion during that dire moment, taking that crucial step, his True Body would have likely been lost.
Man Hui was no exception.
He knew that if he fought with Chen Mu for too long, there would be a risk of death. Without hesitation, he attempted to escape.
However, at that moment, not only was Chen Mu present, but also Hei Liu, Zhen Fan, and Mo Li, three Sixth Heaven Divine Realm practitioners!
Hei Liu and the others witnessed Chen Mu's terrifying power, and their hearts trembled. They were shocked to see that after the Dark Heaven Tide, Chen Mu had taken another step forward, reaching the Sixth Heaven Limit. Seeing Man Hui's attempt to flee, the three of them almost simultaneously flashed a chilling light in their eyes and acted without hesitation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The surging power of the three collided, intercepting Man Hui's escape.
Under normal circumstances, Man Hui would not fear the combined might of Hei Liu and the others. But at this moment, he was no match for Chen Mu. As he tried to escape, the three of them blocked his path, immediately plunging him into a dire predicament!
Hei Liu and the others alone could not stop him, but with Chen Mu behind them, even a slight obstruction from the three would make it difficult for Man Hui to escape. The inevitable outcome of such a situation was clear—the annihilation of his True Body!
Swish!
Man Hui's Demon Blade slashed fiercely, breaking through the combined might of Hei Liu and the others, but his own body was also hindered, temporarily frozen in the Void.
Behind him, the Floating Life Sword tore through the sky, and its sharp rainbow had already reached his back!
"Damn it!"
Man Hui was both shocked and furious, but at this moment, he had no choice but to roar and turn to face Chen Mu's Floating Life Sword.
With a single clash, he was sent flying backward again, shattering layer upon layer of the Void, and his Divine Energy was slightly damaged.
He was going to die!
If this continued, he would surely perish!
Man Hui's outward anger belied his inner calm. He knew the situation was dire. Even against Chen Mu alone, who had reached the Sixth Heaven Limit, he believed he could still escape unscathed.
But with Hei Liu, Zhen Fan, and Mo Li here, their combined strength, though weaker than his, could still impede his escape. If this battle dragged on, his Divine Energy would be gradually extinguished by Chen Mu's sword light.
...
In a certain location, one of Man Hui's Battle Incarnations stood tall.
Suddenly, his eyes opened, and he turned his gaze towards several nearby figures. With a deep voice, he said, "Fellow demons, I've encountered Chen Mu from the Vanggu Expanse. His strength has reached the Sixth Heaven Limit, and I cannot defeat him. I'm being entangled by others and cannot escape. Hurry and come to my aid."
"Chen Mu? Is it him?"
"Even the Demon Archon personally intervened, and he barely managed to save his life. I didn't expect him to reach such heights. This person is truly extraordinary."
The nearby Demon Shadows, all Sixth Heaven Apex Divine Realm True Demon Incarnations, were startled by Man Hui's words. Some had grave expressions, while others looked grim.
"Man Hui, how long can you hold out?"
"Even with Hei Liu and the others entangled with me, they can't kill me in a short time."
Man Hui responded briefly.
After all, he was also a Sixth Heaven Apex practitioner. Although each of Chen Mu's attacks reached the Sixth Heaven Limit, killing him would not be an easy task. Therefore, he remained calm.
"Although this is the case, we must not delay. Let's hurry."
"Good."
After a brief discussion, their True Bodies immediately took action.
Their Divine Energy Incarnations were all in the Void River, with the intention of invading the Vanggu Expanse for its resources. This was also the will of the Demon Archon above them. At this moment, as Man Hui faced danger, they naturally would not ignore it.
In a 6, 9, 1, and 9, a book, and a look, there is no mistake in this version!
However...
Just as their True Bodies were rushing towards Man Hui's location...
Man Hui's Battle Incarnation suddenly froze in place, his eyes revealing a hint of terror. With a sense of dismay, he added, "Not good! Hurry, I can only hold on for a moment!"
Upon hearing this, the other True Demons were all shocked.
"What's going on?"
"He's using a secret technique! It seems to be a technique from the Time Lineage! His attack power has increased significantly!"
Man Hui's voice carried a hint of shock.
The Time Lineage's methods were the most unpredictable, and some of their techniques could even temporarily draw power from the 'Future', briefly enhancing their current strength by one or twofold. Chen Mu's current technique, as Man Hui saw it, was precisely this. The Floating Life Sword's sword light intensified, and what was already at the Sixth Heaven Limit now surged, truly crossing the Seventh Heaven Threshold!
It wasn't impossible for a Sixth Heaven Limit Divine Realm being to exhibit Seventh Heaven Threshold power. They typically had desperate measures, burning divine energy or other such means, to forcefully unleash Seventh Heaven Threshold power in a short time.
But these measures were usually for survival, a last resort, and the cost was often substantial. The Time Dao's technique of borrowing future strength would consume at least one Time-related Odd Relic.
Time-related Odd Relics were incredibly rare and precious. Even if they only contained a single Profound Mystery power, their value wasn't much less than the Ten Thousand Forms Spirit Jade in Chen Mu's hands. For a piece of Spirit Jade, Chen Mu was willing to pay such a price to destroy Man Hui's True Body!
"This..."
The numerous Sixth Heaven Limit Demon Generals were all shocked.
Chen Mu was willing to pay a significant price to ensure Man Hui's True Body remained.
For a moment,
Not only were the onlookers stunned, but even their True Bodies, who had come to support, hesitated slightly.
A Sixth Heaven Limit being was directly willing to pay any price to use a life-or-death technique, and the power unleashed in a short time might reach the Seventh Heaven Threshold. Even if they rushed over, it wouldn't be easy to save Man Hui, and they might even fall themselves.
The gap between the Sixth Heaven Apex and the Seventh Heaven Threshold was just too vast!
In the current Ancestral Demon Realm, the only ones capable of saving Man Hui, aside from the Demon Archon, were the 'Through the Shadows' Demon General. Through the Shadows was the only Demon General in the Demon Race who had reached the Sixth Heaven Limit!
But currently, Through the Shadows was in seclusion, having not concerned himself with external affairs for hundreds of epochs. All messages sent to him were like throwing a cow into the sea. Even his Incarnations had no contact with the outside world, clearly concentrating all his energy and will to try and break through the Divine Lord barrier. Asking him to break through his seclusion was basically impossible.
Moreover, the threat wasn't to Through the Shadows' life, just his Divine Energy True Body. Even if it were a threat to his life, Through the Shadows probably wouldn't care in the slightest. His eyes were only on that Divine Lord barrier.
"Man Hui, we're afraid we can't lend a hand. You must quickly seek the Demon Archon's help."
"Hurry, we're running out of time."
The numerous Sixth Heaven Limit Demon Generals spoke in unison.
Man Hui was also anxious, and one of his Incarnations immediately left his original location, heading towards the nearest Demon Archon's Palace. But his heart had already sunk into an abyss.
He knew it was most likely too late. What he said about holding on for a moment was, in reality, an overstatement; even a moment was difficult to sustain. Even with his life-or-death technique and his willingness to burn divine energy, the gap in strength remained unbridgeable.
...
On the Void River,
Black and white sword lights raged, unstoppable, and within them was a hint of seven-colored radiance, infused with the mysteries of the Time Dao. Each sword light seemed to burst from the past, yet also weaved through the future, unavoidable and inescapable.
Hei Liu, Zhen Fan, and Mo Li could only retreat to a distance, watching this scene with hearts full of shock. In their vision, the black and white sword lights interwoven with seven colors tore through layer after layer of void, not only treating the Sixth Layer of Void as nothing but also leaving faint traces on the surface of the Seventh Layer of Void!
Although the traces were faint, they were real and tangible ruptures!
The Seventh Layer of Void!
What this represented was the Seventh Heaven, the Divine Lord rank!
"A Divine Lord?"
"No, not quite... This is a technique borrowed from the Time Dao, forcefully enhancing his power, barely tearing open a thread of the Seventh Heaven..."
Hei Liu and the others murmured, their hearts still filled with awe.
In an instant,
The sword lights dissipated.
In the crisscrossing black, white, and seven-colored radiance, the torn and shattered void mended, and there, Man Hui's Divine Energy True Body had completely vanished under Chen Mu's sword light!
Only Chen Mu remained, standing in the void, his gaze calm as he watched this scene.
