Chapter 638: The Chase
Chapter 638: The Chase
"Another one, huh? They certainly hold me in high regard."
Chen Mu held the Heavenly Mirror, harnessing a fraction of the Void River's power to counter the Demon Progenitor. He sensed the approaching myriad of silver threads from behind, imbued with the might of the Eighth Heaven, and a chill flashed through his eyes.
Ming Fan Divine Lord!
Yet another Eighth Heaven Divine Lord Tyrant!
These Tyrants had distinct and iconic techniques, and even without prior acquaintance, Chen Mu could identify them with a single glance.
There was no direct grudge between Chen Mu and Ming Fan Divine Lord, but the latter was one of the masterminds behind Jianmu Divine Lord's downfall. It was Ming Fan Divine Lord who personally forced Jianmu Divine Lord into a desperate situation, leading to his eventual demise through a collective scheme.
Chen Mu had received much assistance from Jianmu Divine Lord, and their fates were intertwined. As he grew stronger, it was inevitable that he would have a confrontation with Ming Fan Divine Lord. Thus, Chen Mu was not surprised by Ming Fan Divine Lord's intervention.
Facing the combined might of two Divine Lord Tyrants, Chen Mu maintained his composure, but inwardly, he was cautious. Despite reaching the threshold of the Eighth Heaven, he knew he was no match for two genuine Eighth Heaven Tyrants.
He wasn't overly afraid of the Demon Progenitor alone, and he might even dare to confront him directly. However, against two Tyrants, he decided against a head-on clash. With his current abilities, he couldn't do much against both the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord. Prolonging the fight would serve no purpose; his best option was to find a way to escape.
Boom!!!
Chen Mu's gaze intensified as he held the Heavenly Mirror, which emitted countless rays of light. The mirror light didn't expand outward but abruptly retracted, enveloping his entire body.
In an instant, the ground beneath him caved in, revealing countless mirror-like surfaces in the void, each reflecting an image of Chen Mu, as if he had split into countless forms in a single moment.
The next moment, the Demon Progenitor's attack and Ming Fan Divine Lord's strike landed simultaneously.
The combined might of two Eighth Heaven Tyrants shattered layer upon layer of the void, tearing and crushing the eight layers of the void. The countless mirror surfaces that had appeared in the void shattered one by one.
However, as these mirrors collapsed, a beam of light wrapped in mirror radiance flashed and vanished into the depths of the void, swiftly fleeing into the distance, leaving behind only a tiny speck of light.
"Don't even think of escaping!"
The Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord's eyes turned icy. One of them flickered and transformed into a black mist, merging with the void in an instant, pursuing the faint light.
Ming Fan Divine Lord also paused, and his body solidified, turning into countless silver threads that spread through the void, surpassing both sound and light. In the blink of an eye, they extended for thousands of miles and disappeared into the distance, chasing after Chen Mu.
As the two Eighth Heaven Divine Lord Tyrants pursued Chen Mu, Xiyi, Fongmao, and the other Seventh Heaven peak Divine Lords at the Void River's shore finally reacted.
They watched as the Demon Progenitor, Ming Fan Divine Lord, and Chen Mu fled into the distance, but they didn't give chase. Their expressions were uncertain.
It wasn't that they didn't want to pursue or couldn't catch up; it was simply pointless.
Chen Mu had reached the Eighth Heaven, and as a true body of the Void Lineage, even at the initial stage of the Eighth Heaven, he could traverse within the eighth layer of the void.
These Seventh Heaven peak Divine Lords, no matter how powerful, couldn't interfere within the eighth layer of the void. Even if they caught up, they could only watch from the outside during an Eighth Heaven battle, unable to intervene.
This was the nature of battles between Divine Lords.
Even an Eighth Heaven Divine Lord Tyrant would find it challenging to completely annihilate a Seventh Heaven peak Divine Lord. It was even more impossible for a Seventh Heaven Divine Lord to contend with an Eighth Heaven opponent. No matter how many Seventh Heaven Divine Lords there were, they could hardly threaten an Eighth Heaven Tyrant due to the qualitative difference in their cultivation realms, making it impossible for them to enter the eighth layer of the void.
Splash!
In the next instant, Shang Mang Deity Lord emerged from the Void River, his demonic energy slightly disheveled. He gazed at the distant figures of Chen Mu, the Demon Progenitor, and Ming Fan Divine Lord, his expression grim.
If not for the presence of the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord, Shang Mang Deity Lord might have been forcibly knocked into the depths of the Void River by Chen Mu. Even as a Seventh Heaven peak ancient Divine Lord, falling into the river's depths would be extremely dangerous. If he were sucked into a sudden void vortex, no one could predict where he would end up! In such a situation, the destruction of his true body would be a blessing, for some of the most terrifying places had internal threats that could follow the karmic cause and effect, leading to the annihilation of all incarnations and complete death.
Shang Mang Deity Lord's heart was filled with suppressed anger, and his expression was as dark as night.
Just over twenty thousand world years ago, Chen Mu was an insignificant ant that Shang Mang had never paid any attention to. He didn't even care about Chen Mu's existence, and his actions against the Great Xuan World were merely a test to gauge the strength of the Vangu Divine Lord.
When he personally dealt with Chen Mu, it was only because he thought Chen Mu might become a minor nuisance in the future, and he wanted to casually eliminate that possibility. However, he was stopped by the Vangu Divine Lord; otherwise, Chen Mu and his world would have been reduced to dust by now.
Even at that time, he didn't feel that Chen Mu posed a significant threat.
Chen Mu's talent was indeed exceptional, and his foundation was profound, but no matter how profound his foundation and talent were, they still required time to grow. Who could have imagined that Chen Mu would achieve something so unbelievable, reaching the Eighth Heaven within just twenty thousand world years?
"A reincarnated Legendary Divine Lord?"
Shang Mang Deity Lord felt inexplicably agitated.
He had only intended to test the Vangu Divine Lord's strength and casually eliminate an insignificant ant. Why had he attracted the attention of such a formidable figure? Perhaps this was a tribulation arranged by the vast universe itself!
Legendary Divine Lords were already rare, and reincarnated ones were even scarcer. It was already a huge coincidence to encounter one, and now he had even formed a significant karmic enmity with this person. The vast universe seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him!
Although Chen Mu had made enemies of not only him, and currently, the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord, the two Eighth Heaven Divine Lord Tyrants, were even joining forces to hunt down Chen Mu, once they failed to truly kill Chen Mu, it would be difficult to stop him from recovering his cultivation.
He was an ancient Divine Lord at the peak of the Seventh Heaven.
Even if Chen Mu's strength reached the level of the Demon Progenitor or even the Vangu Divine Lord, and he ascended to the peak of the Eighth Heaven, it wouldn't be easy to kill him completely. After all, the Demon Race was a powerful force that ruled over a vast expanse of the void.
But what if Chen Mu took another step forward?
If Chen Mu was indeed a reincarnated Legendary Divine Lord, then in the future, he would also have a great chance to return to the Ninth Heaven!
The Ninth Heaven!
That was an entirely different level, the ultimate peak below the Great Dao Venerables. It was the end of the immortal path. One could say that even the entire Demon Race at present would be weak and feeble in the face of a Ninth Heaven Legendary Divine Lord!
At the Eighth Heaven, the Demon Race could still hold its ground, but the existence of the Ninth Heaven meant the annihilation of the entire Demon Race, which would be an effortless task!
"If I had known this, even if I had to face the Vangu Divine Lord's combat incarnation, I should have killed that person."
Shang Mang Deity Lord felt a hint of regret in his heart.
When he entered the Vangu Void and was stopped by the Vangu Divine Lord while dealing with Chen Mu, he immediately chose to retreat. However, at that time, the Vangu Divine Lord was merely a combat incarnation, and he had unleashed some of his trump cards to unleash the power of the Eighth Heaven. Even if Shang Mang had forcefully withstood the pressure, he would have had the opportunity to destroy the Great Xuan World and Chen Mu.
Even if it meant paying a huge price and causing his Divine Energy Incarnation to fall, it would have been worth it, for the threat Chen Mu now posed was evidently too great!
But fate cannot be reversed, and time cannot flow backward.
Even if he wanted to use the fall of his Divine Energy Incarnation as a price to kill Chen Mu, it was already impossible. Even with the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord joining forces to hunt down Chen Mu, he couldn't get involved.
"Let's go."
"He has entered the Eighth Heaven, and we can no longer interfere. We can only wait for news from Brother Ming Fan and the Demon Progenitor."
Feng Mao's face alternated between gloom and brightness as he slowly spoke to Xue Xie, Cang Shu, and the others.
At this moment, he had made up his mind.
If Ming Fan and the Demon Progenitor could obtain Chen Mu's Divine Energy Incarnation, he would continue to join forces with Xue Xie and the others to deal with the Vangu Divine Lord until they completely occupied the Vangu Void and eliminated Chen Mu.
Please... You.... Collect 6...9... Book....
But if Ming Fan and the Demon Progenitor ultimately failed to capture Chen Mu, he would have to consider his retreat.
The vast universe was so immense that even a Legendary Divine Lord couldn't fathom its entirety. As long as he severed all karmic connections and hid all traces, escaping deep into the boundless void, even if Chen Mu ascended to the Ninth Heaven in the future, he might not be able to find him.
Kill if you can, and if not, retreat far away. If retreat is impossible, then hide. For now, Chen Mu doesn't pose a significant threat, even if he is the reincarnation of a Legendary Divine Lord, it's impossible for him to return to the Ninth Heaven in a short time. He still has time to find an escape route.
Whoosh!
Xue Xie, Feng Mao, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with uncertainty. Cang Shu's figure flickered, and he disappeared from his original spot. Soon after, Xue Xie and Feng Mao also vanished into thin air.
Finally, Shang Mang Marquis gazed into the depths of the void with a somber expression, then turned into a wisp of black mist and disappeared.
After the departure of these powerful beings,
A long while passed,
And in the distant void, some activity emerged from the Vanggu Void's Divine Realm beings who had cautiously approached after sensing the immense disturbance from the previous battle.
Leading them was Hong Lin, her eyes fixed on the now-calm void. Her gaze was heavy with concern: "More than one Divine Lord was involved in this fight. Were they after him? Has the Demon Race finally made their move?"
She didn't know which Divine Lords had intervened.
But she was aware that a battle beyond the level of Divine Lords had taken place here, and it was intensely fierce. The clash had caused the void to tremble for billions of miles, and even at the edge of the Void River, one could sense the terrifying commotion.
She suspected that the Demon Race and some Divine Lords had acted, and their target was likely Chen Mu. However, this was a battle on a scale she had no right to interfere with. She didn't even dare to get close, as even the aftermath of a clash between Divine Lords could be extremely dangerous for her. A mere ripple of their power could annihilate her Divine Energy Incarnation instantly!
"I wonder how things are going with Mu Divine Lord..."
Hong Lin's eyebrows furrowed.
She wanted to find Chen Mu and inquire about the situation, but soon shook her head slightly. Knowing the truth wouldn't help since she wasn't a Divine Lord herself. The confrontation was beyond her involvement.
Staring at the now-tranquil Void River, Hong Lin's grip tightened on the Boundary Defining Essence Pearl. She knew that the Vanggu Void still faced numerous dangers, but to truly make a difference, she needed to break through her bottleneck and comprehend Profound Integration, just like Taichen, and truly step into the realm of Divine Lords.
...
Deep within the void,
Here, in the eighth layer of the void, where the void energy flowed in intricate weaves of various esoteric mysteries, was a realm where even a peak existence of the Seventh Heaven would be overwhelmed and quickly have their Divine Energy Incarnation obliterated.
In this silent and oppressive void, a white streak of light swiftly traversed the emptiness.
Behind it,
A pitch-black shadow and several entangled silver threads relentlessly pursued.
"..."
Within the white streak of light, Chen Mu held the Heavenly Mirror, his expression calm. He had deduced that the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord would find it challenging to catch up with him in this eighth layer of the void.
In reality, it was extremely difficult for someone like Chen Mu, who had barely crossed the threshold of the Eighth Heaven, to move freely in the eighth layer of the void. However, he had mastered the deepest understanding of the Void Lineage, and with the Heavenly Mirror, a superior divine armament of the Void Lineage, he was perfectly suited for navigating the void. This allowed him to minimize the pressure of the void, enabling him to move unhindered even though he had barely broken through to the Eighth Heaven.
Both the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord were Tyrants of the Eighth Heaven, and their methods were not limited to these. Seeing that they couldn't catch up with Chen Mu in this layer of the void, they each employed their unique and bizarre attacks!
Chen Mu, while in flight, suddenly felt a chilling killing intent. He sensed a surge of lethal force erupting from within him, with no discernible source or direction, as if it was originating from his own body!
This attack, which could ignore spatial dimensions and directly unleash lethal force, was undoubtedly based on cause and effect.
"Cause and effect power, huh."
However, Chen Mu remained unperturbed, merely scoffing. The thick and vast divine energy within him abruptly surged, directly crushing the wave of cause and effect attack that was rippling through his body.
Cause and effect techniques also had their limitations and couldn't be used arbitrarily. There was no strong cause-and-effect connection between Chen Mu and the Demon Progenitor. Even though the Demon Progenitor had mastered the fusion of three esoteric mysteries—life, cause and effect, and various forms—the attack that seeped through to Chen Mu was not particularly powerful. It didn't even reach the standards of the Eighth Heaven, so it couldn't pose a substantial threat to him.
