Chapter 655: The Chaotic Battle
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Vanggu Divine Lord and the other leaders of the Flame Sun Sect took action, creating a commotion that shook the heavens. Their terrifying power erupted in the sky, reverberating throughout Inferno City and causing a stir in all directions of the Lava Caverns.
At that moment, on a green mountain within Inferno City, Chen Mu's figure flickered and appeared at the summit. He squinted, gazing towards the direction of the battle where Vanggu Divine Lord and others were engaged. His brows furrowed slightly.
Currently,
Within his line of sight, he could see figures soaring into the sky, all of them Divine Lords residing in Inferno City.
Normally, the Divine Lords not tasked with guarding the city or patrolling didn't need to take action. But in times of crisis, they would act without the Flame Sun Sect's orders, as the sect and Inferno City were ideal places for them to settle, and no one wanted to lose them.
Although there were multiple factions in the Lava Caverns, including one led by a Ninth Heaven Abyssal Beast, each had its advantages and disadvantages. The faction led by the Ninth Heaven Abyssal Beast was much larger than the Flame Sun Sect, with more rules and restrictions. In comparison, the Flame Sun Sect's system was the most liberal.
"A Ninth Heaven Abyssal Beast is indeed a bit troublesome."
Chen Mu observed the situation while deep in thought.
For the Flame Sun Sect, dealing with Eighth Heaven Abyssal Beasts was usually manageable, even if they appeared in large numbers. However, the Ninth Heaven Abyssal Beasts were an entirely different matter. Their abilities were far more powerful than those of the Eighth Heaven, and currently, six Eighth Heaven Overlord leaders of the Flame Sun Sect were working together to resist the giant elephant Abyssal Beast, but they could only passively defend.
If not for Inferno City's sealing of the void, creating a suppressive effect, the giant elephant Abyssal Beast's abilities would be even more terrifying, making it harder for Vanggu Divine Lord and the others to oppose it.
In reality,
The most challenging aspect of the Ninth Heaven Abyssal Beast was not its formidable attacks but the difficulty in escaping its grasp.
At this moment, Vanggu Divine Lord and the others were working together, relying on Inferno City, to withstand the giant elephant Abyssal Beast's attacks. However, they couldn't expel and suppress it, nor could they conceal the commotion of the battle.
In such a situation, Abyssal Beasts from the Lava Caverns would be attracted one after another, gathering from all directions, gradually forming a beast tide that would trap Inferno City. That would be the most critical scenario!
However,
While the Ninth Heaven Abyssal Beasts were formidable, the Flame Sun Sect had experienced their attacks numerous times since its establishment. Some encounters were more troublesome, while others were relatively easier to escape.
The key factor was the type of Ninth Heaven Abyssal Beast. Generally, those skilled in void-manipulating abilities were the most challenging to escape, and the only way to shake them off was to use a passage to leave this layer and travel to another.
In comparison, Creation-type Ninth Heaven Abyssal Beasts could be directly shaken off in the same layer.
At this moment, Chen Mu's perception detected the presence of Abyssal Beasts approaching from all directions. More than one Abyssal Beast had sensed the commotion and was continuously converging towards Inferno City.
Just as he was contemplating countermeasures, Inferno City suddenly trembled violently!
Hum!
In Chen Mu's perception, Inferno City seemed to pause briefly before erupting with a majestic and boundless power from within. Its speed, which had been relatively slow, suddenly accelerated drastically! Simultaneously, the city's edges burst with a hazy light, transforming into a surging divine aura that shook the void and spread out, colliding with the giant elephant Abyssal Beast.
"Roar!"
The giant elephant Abyssal Beast, which had been raising half its body, now had six legs instead of the previous four, using their combined strength to oppose the numerous Eighth Heaven Overlord leaders of the Flame Sun Sect, including Vanggu Divine Lord and Mo Yue Divine Lord. Suddenly, the eruption of Inferno City overturned the suppression, causing its massive body to tremble in the void.
Although this violent collision didn't topple the giant elephant, nor did it make it retreat, it did cause it to momentarily freeze. Taking advantage of this brief pause, Inferno City instantly transformed into a streak of light and fled towards the distance.
The leader of the Flame Sun Sect had taken action!
Chen Mu had also arrived at Inferno City's gate, where thousands of Divine Lords had gathered. He stood in an inconspicuous corner, sensing the changes in Inferno City, his gaze slightly shifting.
The leader of the Flame Sun Sect, the Flame Sun Divine Lord, an Eighth Heaven Overlord, the closest existence to the Ninth Heaven, was controlling Inferno City. The power and techniques he displayed were almost infinitely close to the Ninth Heaven!
"Slightly stronger than me..."
Chen Mu assessed his strength; he had also surpassed the Eighth Heaven Overlord. However, if it were him, even with a full-power strike, he might not have achieved the same level of power as the Flame Sun Divine Lord, perhaps falling slightly short.
This wasn't because Chen Mu's strength was inferior to the Flame Sun Sect's leader, but because 'Inferno City,' a palace-type divine armament, was far more powerful than the 'Heavenly Mirror' in his possession. The Heavenly Mirror's power enhancement effect had weakened significantly for Chen Mu, while Inferno City, also an upper-tier divine armament, was founded on the fusion of four mysteries, making its foundation even more robust.
If he were to take control of Inferno City, the power he could exert might surpass that of the Flame Sun Divine Lord!
At this moment,
Under the Flame Sun Divine Lord's intervention, Inferno City momentarily escaped the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast. The numerous Divine Lords gathered atop the city gates felt a momentary relief, while Chen Mu quietly stood at the periphery, observing.
In an instant, Inferno City swiftly retreated, distancing itself from the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast. In the blink of an eye, the Divine Lords could no longer see the beast's shadow, seemingly having escaped. But the next moment, a violent aura surged skyward.
"Roar..."
In the distance, the void suddenly cracked open, forming a long, interconnected passage. A massive black shadow pursued through the passage—it was the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast!
Wherever its twelve giant feet stepped, the void shattered, creating cracks across nine layers. These cracks formed petal-like shapes, resembling a lotus blooming with each step.
In just a moment, the giant elephant caught up with Inferno City!
"Not good, this Abyss Beast has void-related abilities."
Not far from Chen Mu, a somewhat grave and familiar voice sounded. It was Jing Tian, the Divine Lord who had previously guarded the city with him. Unbeknownst to others, he had arrived and was intently observing the pursuing Giant Elephant Abyss Beast.
Chen Mu glanced sideways, meeting Jing Tian's gaze. Without unnecessary chatter, they nodded slightly, both turning their attention to the area outside Inferno City.
At this moment, they could see that not only was the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast chasing Inferno City, but also countless other Abyss Beasts emerging from the Lava Caverns below. Some resembled black silk threads, while others were like crimson flames. There were also those with writhing bodies, possessing physical forms akin to demons, emitting auras of varying intensities. Some were at the Seventh Heaven, while others exuded the power of the Eighth Heaven.
