Chapter 637: The Transcendent Divine Lord's Reincarnation?
Chapter 637: The Transcendent Divine Lord's Reincarnation?
"Can you escape?" Chen Mu asked, his tone indifferent, as he gazed at the shadow mist that was trying to escape.
At this moment, he truly harbored murderous intent towards Shadow Blight Marquis. Normally, even if his strength had reached the threshold of the Eighth Heaven, it would still be impossible to truly kill a Seventh Heaven Apex Divine Lord. But here, they were in the Void River!
By knocking Shadow Blight Marquis into the Void River, Chen Mu could take advantage of the terrain and possibly bury him within a void vortex, sealing him in the perilous land behind the vortex!
Boom!
Chen Mu watched as Shadow Blight Marquis transformed into shadow mist and attempted to escape. His outstretched giant hand trembled.
The already enormous and vast Void Giant Hand suddenly shook, continuing to expand at an incredible speed, spreading out in an instant and sweeping across the sky. It swelled up, and in that moment, it caught up with the escaping shadow mist!
"Damn!" Shadow Blight Marquis exclaimed in shock.
His escape technique was extremely exquisite. He had already realized that Chen Mu's ability was a fusion of Consolidation and Infinity Esoteric Void Powers, capable of infinitely gathering and collapsing the void force. Once trapped, it would be extremely difficult to break free, as there would be an almost infinite amount of suppression. However, it was also easy to counter; one could simply escape at high speed from the range of the Consolidation's coverage.
However, Chen Mu's next move, a Void Hand Seal, was no longer a fusion of Consolidation and Infinity Esoteric Powers. In an instant, it changed the very fabric of heaven and earth, and the power flowing within was clearly a fusion of 'Expansion' and 'Infinity'!
Even though it was just a difference in Esoteric Power, the strength exhibited was worlds apart!
The fusion of Consolidation, Infinity, and Void had more suppression power, concentrating on a single point of eruption. In contrast, the fusion of Expansion and Infinity was an extremely terrifying pursuit technique, with its might infinitely extending within the void. Escaping through secret escape techniques was almost impossible.
"Seal the Heavens and Earth!"
Shadow Blight Marquis, shocked and aware that he couldn't dodge, acted without hesitation. In an instant, he unleashed his full power, causing the divine energy around his body to erupt wildly. The armor covering his body also burst forth with dazzling brilliance, indicating his Superior Divine Armament.
The power of the divine armament merged with his own divine energy, and he further summoned the vast power of creation, forming a vast black light curtain that obscured the heavens and earth, as if sealing and suppressing everything in the world.
Boom!
The pitch-black demonic light collided with Chen Mu's suppressing Void Hand Seal, shattering layer upon layer of the void in an instant. The entire surface of the Void River rippled, creating a wave of terrifying waves.
The two terrifying powers clashed, but only held for a moment before exploding. Chen Mu's Void Hand Seal shattered and dissipated, and a black light burst forth from beneath the hand seal. Shadow Blight Marquis's body was shaken and thrown out, his demonic light shattering and breaking apart with a loud crash as he fell back into the Void River!
Falling into the Void River, Shadow Blight Marquis remained calm. He knew that in a direct confrontation, his strength was slightly inferior to Chen Mu's. However, as a Seventh Heaven Apex Divine Lord, falling into the shallow depths of the Void River was not enough to defeat him.
And it wouldn't be easy for Chen Mu to knock him into the deeper reaches of the Void River, either.
Moreover, this ambush against Chen Mu wasn't just these four individuals!
Almost at the same time as Shadow Blight Marquis fell into the Void River, the void above shook violently. Layer upon layer of the void exploded, tearing open all the way to the Eighth Layer of Void, from which a majestic demonic shadow emerged, filled with ancient and weathered energy. In the instant this demonic shadow appeared, it soared towards Chen Mu.
The majestic demonic light converged, forming a vast demonic seal, crushing the heavens and earth as it descended upon Chen Mu. The overwhelming might caused the Eighth Layer of Void to shatter, intending to knock Chen Mu into the Void River with a single move!
Eighth Heaven!
Looking out into the vast expanse of the void, there were only a few Divine Lords capable of shattering the Eighth Heaven, all of them being formidable figures worthy of the title of Overlord. And at this very moment, one of them suddenly took action, unleashing an Eighth Heaven killing move—it was none other than the Lord of the Ancestral Demon Domain, the Demon Ancestor!
The Demon Ancestor's power was naturally earth-shattering, far beyond that of Shadow Blight Marquis and the others. Moreover, the timing of his move was extremely critical, as it occurred in the instant Chen Mu knocked Shadow Blight Marquis into the Void River.
Chen Mu's previously displayed strength had undoubtedly reached the Sixth Heaven Limit. Even an Eighth Heaven Overlord like the Demon Ancestor wouldn't have the absolute confidence to destroy Chen Mu's Divine Power True Body, or at least, it wouldn't be an easy task. At the very least, Chen Mu could escape and prolong the battle, making it difficult to achieve victory in a short time.
The Demon Ancestor's chosen method was one that perfectly aligned with Chen Mu's intentions. Chen Mu wanted to hurl Sorrow Blight Marquis into the Void River, sending him plummeting into its depths and utilizing the river's deadly nature to ensure his demise. The Demon Ancestor had the same idea!
The Demon Ancestor made his move at the most critical moment, intending to use the Void River to annihilate Chen Mu.
However, as the Demon Ancestor unleashed his attack, Chen Mu seemed to be caught in an extremely perilous situation. Yet, his demeanor remained calm, and instead of fear, a faint glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"So, you've finally made your move."
Since the Demon Race had joined forces with Xue Xie, Feng Mao, and other Divine Lords to deal with Chen Mu, they must have brought more than just Sorrow Blight Marquis and the other three. Even with the strength Chen Mu had previously displayed, it would be difficult for these four alone to kill him.
As soon as Sorrow Blight Marquis and the others launched their attacks, Chen Mu had already confirmed that at least one Eighth Heaven Divine Overlord had arrived. It could only be either the Demon Ancestor or Ming Fan Divine Lord, who had caused the fall of Jianmu Divine Lord.
It was even highly possible that both of them had come!
If Chen Mu's current strength was limited to the Seventh Heaven, facing the possible attacks of two Eighth Heaven Divine Overlords would indeed put him in a life-threatening crisis. Although it would be challenging for the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord to completely kill him, destroying the Divine Energy Incarnation of a Seventh Heaven Divine Lord was well within their capabilities.
However, Chen Mu's true strength was not merely at the Seventh Heaven!
Humm.
In the very next instant, a dazzling white light exploded, tearing through the boundless void.
In Chen Mu's palm, a primitive stone mirror appeared, emitting a brilliant white light as if it contained the essence of the void itself. The mirror's radiance was so intense that wherever it shone, the seven layers of void ice and snow melted, and even the eighth layer of void showed cracks under its illumination!
By harnessing the power of the void with the Heavenly Mirror, combined with the profound Divine Energy of his Perfect Divine Body, Chen Mu's attack surpassed the limits of the Seventh Heaven and reached the threshold of the Eighth Heaven!
Boom!
The collision between the mirror's light and the Supreme Demon Seal unleashed an unimaginable torrent of divine might, causing the tens of thousands of miles of river water in the Void River to explode. The entire shallow region of the river was torn apart!
Countless void vortices were annihilated and scattered under the impact of these two ferocious powers.
In the distance, Xue Xie, Feng Mao, and the other three Divine Lords witnessed this collision, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"Eighth Heaven?!"
"This is impossible!" Cang Shu Divine Lord exclaimed in shock.
Chen Mu's strength had already surpassed theirs, and the fact that he had reached the limits of the Seventh Heaven had left them in awe and disbelief. Now, facing the Demon Ancestor's assault, he suddenly displayed the power of the Eighth Heaven, leaving them utterly astounded.
In just a few tens of thousands of Realm Years, Chen Mu had broken through the limits of the Seventh Heaven and achieved the status of a Divine Lord. Moreover, he had even broken free from the constraints of the Eighth Heaven!
"Could he... be a reincarnated Transcendent Divine Lord?!" Feng Mao Divine Lord's eyes, filled with disbelief, now revealed a hint of unacceptance.
Not only him, but even Xue Xie, Cang Shu, and the others had the same thought at that moment.
There was no other explanation; Chen Mu's growth rate had far exceeded their imagination, surpassing their understanding. It was simply impossible for an ordinary Divine Lord to reach the Eighth Heaven in just a few tens of thousands of Realm Years!
The only plausible explanation was that Chen Mu was the reincarnation of a Transcendent Divine Lord who had once ascended to the Ninth Heaven!
This would make everything reasonable!
The reincarnation of a Ninth Heaven Transcendent Divine Lord would naturally be able to cultivate a Perfect Divine Body, develop profound foundations, and even return to the Eighth Heaven within a few tens of thousands of Realm Years, becoming a Divine Overlord!
The only slightly inexplicable aspect was that not all Transcendent Divine Lords could reincarnate; only those from the Creation Lineage possessed such abilities. Yet, the techniques Chen Mu displayed leaned more towards the Void Lineage.
If Chen Mu were the reincarnation of a Creation Lineage Transcendent Divine Lord, the most powerful technique he should possess would be the Creation Dao.
However, upon further reflection, if a Transcendent Divine Lord were forced to reincarnate, they would undoubtedly face immense troubles and dangers. After reincarnation, they would start from scratch, and naturally, they would need to be cautious and discreet to avoid detection by their former enemies.
Perhaps this was the reason Chen Mu had not cultivated the Creation Lineage but instead focused on the Void Lineage, aiming to conceal his true identity and prevent others from discovering his past.
Boom!!!
After a brief stalemate between the mirror light and the demonic glow, the white mirror light shattered into countless fragments.
The Demon Ancestor was an ancient Divine Lord Tyrant, an Eighth Heaven Divine Lord, while Chen Mu had barely broken through the threshold of the Eighth Heaven. Facing the Demon Ancestor head-on, he was undoubtedly outmatched, struggling to match his power.
Even so, after the mirror light collapsed, the remaining demonic light couldn't do much to Chen Mu.
"You..."
At this moment, the Demon Ancestor watched this scene, also shocked beyond words.
Previously, when Shang Mang Marquis tested the reality of Vanggu Divine Lord, his true self had been in seclusion. Upon emerging, he heard about Chen Mu, and coincidentally, Xue Xie, Feng Mao, and others arrived. After a brief discussion, they decided to take action personally and eliminate Chen Mu's threat as soon as possible.
But now, Chen Mu had achieved divinity in just a few tens of thousands of world years and had already reached the Sixth Heaven Limit, ascending to the threshold of the Eighth Heaven. Such an incredible cultivation speed naturally filled the Demon Ancestor's mind with countless thoughts.
A Transcendent Divine Lord's reincarnation?!
The Demon Ancestor also thought of this possibility, and his mind was suddenly filled with turbulent waves, his gaze shifting between light and dark.
A Transcendent Divine Lord, one who had reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven, stood in the vast universe, at the end of the immortal path, one step away from true immortality.
Although a Transcendent Divine Lord's reincarnation would lose everything and have to start anew, they would still possess the foundation of having once reached transcendence. Their cultivation speed would still be unparalleled, and even if there were many difficulties in returning to the Eighth Heaven Apex, it would likely not be a significant problem!
This is bad.
If Chen Mu is indeed a Transcendent Divine Lord's reincarnation, then their Ancestral Demon Expanse has an incredibly poor fortune, forming a life-and-death grudge with a Transcendent Divine Lord. Undoubtedly, this is a troublesome situation.
The Demon Ancestor's expression turned grim, but his actions didn't hesitate. He suddenly raised his palm, unleashing a mighty demonic pressure. The majestic demonic light erupted once more, sweeping towards Chen Mu to suppress him.
Now that the demons have formed a grudge with Chen Mu, regardless of whether Chen Mu is a Transcendent Divine Lord's reincarnation or not, they can no longer let it go. Since it's come to this, they must finish it without hesitation.
Even if Chen Mu is a Transcendent Divine Lord's reincarnation!
At least for now, Chen Mu is far from reaching such heights. He has only just recovered to the threshold of the Eighth Heaven. If they can completely eradicate Chen Mu... then the Demon Ancestor will also have a chance to obtain the foundation left by a Transcendent Divine Lord!
As soon as he thought of this, the Demon Ancestor's eyes grew even colder. He had been stuck in the Eighth Heaven for a long time. If he could obtain the legacy of a Transcendent Divine Lord, he would have the opportunity to step into the Eighth Heaven Apex!
"Ming Fan, if you don't take action now, when will you?"
As the Demon Ancestor took action, he continued to unleash his attacks while suddenly speaking.
He knew that at this moment, Ming Fan might have realized that Chen Mu was likely a Transcendent Divine Lord's reincarnation. He might be willing to back down, as the conflict between him and Chen Mu was only due to a Jianmu Divine Lord. If Chen Mu was indeed a Transcendent Divine Lord, then Jianmu Divine Lord wouldn't be Chen Mu's master, and there would only be a slight connection between them.
In this situation, he might not be able to resolve the grudge with Chen Mu.
Ming Fan, indeed hidden in the shadows, heard the Demon Ancestor's voice amidst the intense demonic energy. His expression also shifted between light and dark, just as the Demon Ancestor had guessed. He was also hesitating about what to do.
But seeing the Demon Ancestor's relentless attack, he glared at Chen Mu, and finally revealed a hint of murderous intent. The grudge between him and Chen Mu might not be easily resolved, especially since Chen Mu's foundation was still shallow. Even if he was a Transcendent Divine Lord's reincarnation, they still had a chance to strangle him.
Moreover, there was an opportunity to obtain the legacy of a Transcendent Divine Lord from Chen Mu, which would also give him a chance to rely on the resources left by a Transcendent Divine Lord, break free from his current constraints, and ascend to the Eighth Heaven Apex!
In the vast universe, on the path of immortality, the struggle for resources is also a struggle for Dao.
Hum!
Ming Fan's heart was set on his goal, and his eyes instantly regained their calmness. He then took a step out of the void, launching a sudden attack. His palms erupted with countless silver lights, transforming into millions of silver threads that continuously entangled and obscured the void, joining forces with the Demon Ancestor to suppress Chen Mu!
