Chapter 633: Shepherd God Lord
Chapter 633: Shepherd God Lord
"Th-this..."
Wing King and the others were left dumbfounded.
Hong Lin, Feng Lin, and the numerous Sixth Heaven Apex experts in the midst of their fierce battle also froze, all witnessing Chen Mu's effortless defeat of Nyamot, a Sixth Heaven Limit expert.
A Sixth Heaven Limit expert, who could even struggle against ordinary Divine Lords, was instantly vanquished by Chen Mu without a single move to defend himself.
For a moment, amidst the Void River, nearly everyone gazing at Chen Mu was filled with disbelief. Many True Deities, amidst their shock, gradually revealed awe in their eyes, transforming from astonishment to reverence.
Divine Lord!
Undoubtedly,
With the ability to annihilate a Sixth Heaven Limit expert with a mere flip of his palm, Chen Mu's strength was far beyond the Sixth Heaven Limit. This legendary figure, said to be a once-in-a-ten-billion-years phenomenon, had surpassed the Seventh Heaven in just over twenty thousand world years.
After eliminating Nyamot, Chen Mu remained standing in the void, while the entire Void River fell into silence.
He gazed indifferently at the spot where Nyamot had perished. With a casual wave of his hand, a stream of light tore through the void, arriving before him—a complete set of black armor and demon blades, Nyamot's divine armament, a mid-rank set with considerable value. But to Chen Mu, it was barely better than nothing.
With a casual flick of his right hand, the divine armament vanished from between his fingers.
Then,
Chen Mu turned his gaze towards the distant battlefield where Hong Lin and Feng Lin were located.
At this moment, Hong Lin and the others had already ceased their battle. Feng Lin and the three others still surrounded Hong Lin in the center, but their bodies were frozen, and as they noticed Chen Mu's gaze, they instantly fell silent.
"Chen..."
Feng Lin's expression stiffened, and as he met Chen Mu's gaze, a chill rushed up his spine, prompting him to subconsciously attempt to speak in defense.
However, Chen Mu merely waved his hand indifferently.
Hum!
Invisible ripples vibrated through the air.
Feng Lin and the three other Sixth Heaven Apex True Deities from the Nightwave Expanse, upon witnessing Chen Mu's action, were filled with terror. But before they could react, in an instant, they all solidified in place.
Their bodies then shattered like dust, dissipating into the void, leaving only Hong Lin, who stood alone in the center, unaffected by the strange ripples.
The ripples passed through her body and vanished without a trace. She could sense the profound mysteries within those ripples, as if an infinite void was constantly shattering and reassembling. The shattered void resembled gears, endlessly intertwining and killing, and due to the extreme precision of this shattering and reassembling force, visually, the void appeared smooth, as if only a ripple had passed through.
In reality, however, hidden within that ripple was a layer-by-layer shattering of the void, even reaching the Seventh Layer. Such power, even when sensed from a close distance, caused her heart to palpitate in awe.
Simultaneously,
Hong Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.
"The Void?"
"It's actually the Void?!"
Her gaze at Chen Mu was filled with incredulity and shock.
Given Chen Mu's talent, foundation, and profound background, Hong Lin believed that he would eventually attain the Divine Lord realm, not remaining stuck at the Seventh Heaven threshold. But in just over twenty thousand world years, he had surpassed that boundary, far exceeding her expectations. What was even more astonishing was that the Divine Lord power Chen Mu displayed was from the Void lineage!
Wasn't Chen Mu primarily cultivating the Creation lineage?
When did he start focusing on the Void lineage, and how did he achieve the Divine Lord realm with Void Profound Mystery?
These incomprehensible questions swirled in Hong Lin's mind, leaving her stunned in the void, even after Feng Lin and the others had been annihilated.
"Alright, the rest is up to you."
Only when Chen Mu's calm voice reached her did Hong Lin snap out of her daze.
"Chen..."
But before she could respond, Chen Mu, standing on the bank of the Void River, nodded slightly at Hong Lin. Without paying heed to the other ordinary True Deities of the Nightwave Expanse hiding in the distance, he turned and stepped into the depths of the void, disappearing from sight.
At this moment,
The entire scene remained silent.
Both the True Deities of the Nightwave Expanse and the Vanggu Expanse stared at the direction where Chen Mu had vanished, frozen in place.
...
Deep within the void, Chen Mu walked forward.
The various powers contained within the Seventh Layer of the Void, capable of swallowing any Sixth Heaven True Deity, posed no obstacle to Chen Mu as he strode effortlessly.
He took a few steps forward, then paused, gazing into the distant void and saying softly, "Since you've come, why not show yourself?
"As Chen Mu's words fell, a figure emerged from the shadows of the distant depths of the void."
A figure resembling Nyamot appeared, with a blue face, fangs, and wings sprouting from its back. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it was also a creature of the Yaksha Clan, but the aura it exuded was far stronger than Nyamot's, undoubtedly a Shenjun-level existence!
"So, it's Night Yu Shenjun."
Chen Mu looked at the figure before him, his expression remaining calm.
Night Yu fixed his gaze on Chen Mu, his face turning grim. A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes as he spoke in a deep voice, "Since you've already attained the Shenjun realm, it's beneath your status to personally intervene in the squabbles of the younger generation."
Chen Mu smiled lightly and said, "The Void River was divided into multiple territories, and it was agreed that no one would cross boundaries. This was a pact made by Vangu Shenjun and your side. Now, a True Deity from your Nightwave Expanse has trespassed, and I merely gave a warning by eliminating them."
At this point, Chen Mu's demeanor turned slightly cold as he continued, "I, as the guardian of the Void River, cannot allow external divine realms to invade and harass us at will. If I, as a Shenjun, cannot uphold my dignity, what's the point?"
"I heard that Nyamot is your direct disciple. If you're dissatisfied with my actions, then let's settle this today!"
Humm!
As his words landed, the nearby void rippled with a terrifying void energy, bringing a heart-pounding pressure that caused Night Yu's eyes to narrow.
Night Yu Shenjun was Nyamot's master and one of the oldest deities in the Nightwave Expanse, with a strength that had reached the apex of the Seventh Heaven.
Nyamot's death at Chen Mu's hands had shocked Night Yu, not because Nyamot's divine energy incarnation was destroyed, but because Chen Mu's actions were merciless. It would take an extensive amount of time for Nyamot to recover... Night Yu wasn't enraged solely because Nyamot's divine power incarnation was annihilated; he was shocked upon hearing the news, and his disbelief grew.
Nyamot was his disciple, possessing strength at the limit of the Sixth Heaven. Even if he encountered a Seventh Heaven Archon, he wouldn't be annihilated in an instant. At the very least, he could unleash all his techniques and, with a desperate struggle, reach the threshold of the Seventh Heaven, allowing him to barely withstand a blow or two.
In such a situation, Nyamot could have called for aid, and Night Yu would have arrived immediately.
But this time,
Nyamot didn't even have time to seek help before he was annihilated.
The fact that Chen Mu could do this indicated that his strength wasn't merely at the level of a spire, but possibly even at the apex of the Seventh Heaven!
This was what truly shook Night Yu, and he found it hard to believe.
How long had Chen Mu been cultivating? How long had he been in the divine realm? Although various forces had heard of Chen Mu's name, and Night Yu himself had paid attention to Chen Mu, predicting that Chen Mu would likely attain the Shenjun realm, he had assumed it would be after a long period.
After all, reaching the Shenjun realm wasn't an easy feat.
Currently, the situation in the Vangu Void was tense, with Vangu Shenjun struggling alone. Once Vangu Shenjun exhausted all his trump cards and became helpless, it would be difficult for him to continue protecting the Vangu Void. At that point, Chen Mu would inevitably fall without any resistance.
But who could have imagined that Chen Mu, in such a short time, would forcefully surpass the limits of the Seventh Heaven, attain the Shenjun position, and possess even more formidable techniques than a typical Seventh Heaven Archon? Perhaps he was not far behind Night Yu in strength!
In a 1619 book, there was no error!
"Impressive."
Night Yu stared at Chen Mu, sensing the aura emanating from Chen Mu's body. He spoke in a deep voice, "I thought I had already given you enough credit, but it seems I still underestimated you. To attain the Shenjun realm through the Void Dao... Vangu truly has remarkable skills."
"Forget it. If the younger generation seeks their own demise, I won't interfere. From now on, my Nightwave Expanse won't encroach upon the Vangu Void. Let's end this here. Chen Mu, with your heaven-defying talent, you are an unparalleled individual. If you ever wish to visit my Nightwave Expanse, I'll welcome you with open arms."
Night Yu's words trailed off, and his tone suddenly turned calm.
He hadn't come to settle scores with Chen Mu over Nyamot's death. He was merely shocked by Chen Mu's techniques and wanted to investigate personally. Now that he had confirmed the answer, he immediately changed his mind and decided not to be Chen Mu's enemy.
No way!
In just over two million world years, Chen Mu had nearly reached the apex of the Seventh Heaven. Looking across the entire Nan Hua Void Seat, such a figure hadn't been born in ten billion world years. Who knew what heights Chen Mu would reach in the future?
There was no deep-seated grudge between Night Yu and Chen Mu, nor was there any past enmity between the Nightwave Expanse and the Vangu Void. The only ones with a grudge against Chen Mu were the demon race in the Ancestral Demon Domain and those who had plotted against Jianmu Shenjun.
If Chen Mu hadn't attained the Shenjun realm, and the situation in the Vangu Void was still tense with Vangu Shenjun struggling alone, Night Yu wouldn't have minded intervening and taking advantage of the Vangu Void's predicament.
Chen Mu had achieved the realm of a Divine Lord and his strength was almost at the peak of the Seventh Heaven Apex. He had transformed from an ant into a true dragon, and in the vast expanse of the void, he had established a solid foundation and depth. No matter how dire the situation, he had the means to protect himself, so he had no intention of getting involved in this mess.
Let the Demon Race, Xiyi, and Fongmao deal with Chen Mu's matters.
The Nightwave Expanse would not intervene.
Chen Mu wasn't surprised by Night Yu's change of attitude. There was no deep-seated grudge between him and the Nightwave Expanse, and although he had casually killed Nyamot and others, he had only destroyed their Divine Energy Incarnations. Moreover, in the eyes of a Divine Lord, everyone below that rank was insignificant. Even Nyamot was just a slightly stronger ant, and he wouldn't truly care.
With the strength he had displayed, he now possessed a certain level of deterrence. Perhaps the Seventh Heaven Apex wasn't enough, but no one could guarantee that he wouldn't be able to step into the Eighth Heaven, or even reach the heights of a Vangu Divine Lord!
At the very least, it would be extremely difficult to kill him now.
Facing a figure who was difficult to kill and had the potential to reach the Eighth Heaven or even higher, it was normal for Night Yu to choose to retreat, and it wasn't strange for the entire Nightwave Expanse to withdraw from the conflict.
In a void domain dispute, one couldn't avoid the word 'interest'. Continuing to oppose the Vanggu Void would bring more harm than good.
"Good."
Chen Mu's gaze softened as he slightly cupped his hands towards Night Yu Divine Lord.
Night Yu nodded and turned around. His figure instantly transformed into countless black specks of light, scattering and disappearing.
As Chen Mu watched Night Yu depart, his eyes remained calm and unperturbed. He walked forward a few steps, crossing the boundless void, and soon arrived at another desolate bank of the Void River, where he stood once more.
This time, he had acted with careful consideration.
The situation in the Vanggu Void was tense, and the Vangu Divine Lord was under immense pressure. Various void domains were stirring, each wanting to take advantage of the Vanggu Void's situation and gain some benefit. The Vangu Divine Lord was struggling to cope.
It was no secret that the Vangu Divine Lord's true body was trapped, even though he had many backup plans and more than one Battle Incarnation, his resources were still limited. Each backup plan used was one less in his arsenal, and when they were exhausted, the situation would rapidly deteriorate.
In this situation, he had made a move, displaying strength close to the Seventh Heaven Apex. Undoubtedly, this would shock all parties and the news might even spread throughout the Nan Hua Void Seat. But in return, the situation would significantly slow down.
Night Yu's reaction was as Chen Mu had expected.
Like the Nightwave Expanse, there were many forces that didn't have deep-seated grudges with the Vangu Divine Lord or Chen Mu. Once they determined that the risks outweighed the benefits, they would inevitably stop and choose to continue observing.
With this, the pressure on the Vangu Divine Lord would lessen, and Chen Mu would gain more time.
However,
With such astonishing abilities and talent, the Demon Race, Xiyi, Fongmao, and many other Divine Lords would fix their gaze upon him, possibly joining forces without regard for the consequences, in an attempt to strangle him.
But Chen Mu wasn't afraid. He had already considered this possibility. His strength wasn't just at the Seventh Heaven Apex; it had reached the Sixth Heaven Limit, almost touching the threshold of the Eighth Heaven!
He,
was now stronger than the Jianmu Divine Lord in his prime and far more difficult to deal with!
The Jianmu Divine Lord's downfall was due to a combination of treacherous ambushes and encirclement schemes. If these were used against Chen Mu, they wouldn't be as effective. Even if the entire Demon Race came out in full force, killing him would be a fantasy!
"With a little more time..."
Chen Mu gazed at the Void River, his eyes reflecting the countless whirlpools within.
The higher the level of strength, the more difficult it was to progress further. But this wasn't the case for him at the moment, as he had chosen to comprehend various Dual Profound Mystery Fusions instead of directly comprehending Triple Profound Mystery Fusion, and his efficiency had always been high.
With just a little more time, he could use enough Dual Profound Mystery Fusions to shatter the Eighth Heaven and reach its threshold!
At that time,
threats from the Demon Race and even Xiyi, Fongmao, and other Divine Lords would completely disappear.
...
As Chen Mu continued to comprehend the profundities of the Void River, news of what had transpired spread quickly among the various void domains, shocking them all!
Not only the Divine Lords, but even the ordinary Divine Realms in each void domain, heard a name that filled them with deep reverence. It was a name that had emerged in the recent past, another Divine Lord who had risen after Taichen, and the message he brought was even more shocking.
In an instant,
The name 'Shepherd Divine Lord' spread across the four directions, astonishing the world!
