Chapter 665: Breaking Free
Chapter 665: Breaking Free
Within the void, a beam of light swiftly traversed the void, and it was none other than Vanggu Divine Lord.
Surrounded by the power of the void, he manipulated the profound mysteries of the void, moving through the void like a fish in water. His trajectory was almost invisible, and one could only see a glimmer of light flashing by, covering a distance of hundreds of millions of miles in an instant.
Behind Vanggu Divine Lord, Qingzong Divine Lord pursued him, wielding the green creation escape light and a sword. Although his control over the void wasn't as proficient as Vanggu Divine Lord's, he had immersed himself in the eighth layer of the void, traveling through a deeper layer of the void, and thus, his speed was also extremely fast, closely tailing Vanggu Divine Lord.
"Causal Sword Dao!" Qingzong Divine Lord shouted as he relentlessly chased from behind, his gaze focused. He swung his sword, striking at empty space.
His sword light pierced through the void, but its power mysteriously vanished, following the intricate causal great dao and attacking Vanggu Divine Lord.
Vanggu Divine Lord's body trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with understanding. He was not surprised by the attack transmitted through causality, as it was a basic skill of the creation lineage divine lords. However, attacks transmitted through causality usually couldn't convey the full power and were often significantly weakened.
Although Qingzong Divine Lord's attack was powerful enough to shatter the eighth heaven, the power transmitted through causality was weakened, and it was only at the level of a seventh heaven peak. Vanggu Divine Lord merely shook the void power within his body and easily blocked it.
However,
The interference from the causal attack caused his escape light to pause momentarily.
This brief pause allowed Qingzong Divine Lord to rapidly close the distance in the void.
Vanggu Divine Lord's gaze remained unchanged as he manipulated the void dao with all his might, continuing to flash and shift through the starry sky, maintaining the distance between them.
Qingzong Divine Lord let out a cold snort. He continued to thrust his divine weapon, a long sword, into the void, repeatedly launching causal slashes, hindering Vanggu Divine Lord's escape light. Even though Vanggu Divine Lord's escape speed was much faster, under this constant interference, Qingzong Divine Lord managed to catch up and gradually pursue him from behind.
"This person seems to be Vanggu Divine Lord from Nan Hua Void, and it's said that his divine energy incarnation is trapped. Seeing this, it seems true, no wonder he's only an incarnation here. To think of taking away the Xu Yuan Stone with just an incarnation is a foolish fantasy." Qingzong Divine Lord's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
Vanggu Divine Lord was a void overlord at the eighth heaven peak, and he was quite famous in Nan Hua Void. Tian Ji Void was adjacent to Nan Hua Void, and he had heard some information about Vanggu Divine Lord. After this encounter, he could now identify him.
If the full-strength Vanggu Divine Lord were here, he would naturally retreat with respect. But this was just a mere incarnation.
At this moment, he was judging the distance between himself and Vanggu Divine Lord's incarnation. Once he entered the range of his 'Qingzong Sword Dao' attack, he would strike with all his might, aiming to severely wound Vanggu's incarnation and prevent his escape!
Three million billion miles...
Two million billion miles...
One million billion miles...
The distance between them rapidly closed in.
In the vast Boundless Star River, many beings sensed the pursuit of Vanggu Divine Lord by Qingzong Divine Lord. However, most didn't pay much attention, as the Boundless Star River was currently in chaos, and such chases were commonplace.
Only a few eighth heaven divine lords secretly noticed the situation and thought that Qingzong Divine Lord must be pursuing something of extraordinary value to expend so much effort. Thus, they discreetly followed behind.
Eighty billion billion miles...
Seventy billion billion miles...
Sixty billion billion miles!
Finally, when the distance between them narrowed to sixty billion billion miles, Qingzong Divine Lord's eyes flashed, and his entire being erupted with energy. With his sword in hand, he slashed through the air!
This strike froze the void momentarily, solidifying a million billion miles of space around them. A beam of burning green sword light flashed through the void, covering tens of thousands of miles in an instant, directly attacking Vanggu Divine Lord's back!
"Not good!" Vanggu Divine Lord's expression changed slightly.
The power of this strike was not to be underestimated. It was Qingzong Divine Lord's full-force attack, and he even burned a bit of his divine energy, determined to severely wound Vanggu Divine Lord. With the power of a seventh heaven peak, it was impossible to defend against.
Unless he used strange treasures and secret techniques to borrow a portion of his future divine energy, forcefully elevating the level of his incarnation's divine energy, and then unleashing a method to break through the eighth heaven, he wouldn't be able to block this strike.
But doing so would also result in a weakened and severely wounded state after the borrowed divine energy's duration expired.
However,
Just then, Vanggu Divine Lord's expression paused slightly, and his initial solemnity relaxed as he realized the danger had passed.
Although this incarnation wasn't strong enough, its realm was the same as his main body, both at the eighth heaven peak of the void lineage. His perception of the void was far superior to that of the creation lineage, and he could sense even the slightest fluctuations in the void.
Suddenly, the void around them stirred, creating ripples and waves.
An indescribable majestic power descended, shaking the nearby void. In an instant, the void behind Vanggu Divine Lord stretched like a noodle, extending a trillion billion miles in the blink of an eye!
The green sword light, which had almost reached Vanggu Divine Lord's back, was now only a negligible one foot away from his spine. But this one-foot gap seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
So close, yet so far!
Within this one-foot distance, the green sword light surged forward at full speed, forcefully crossing a trillion billion miles in a short time. Still, it couldn't touch Vanggu Divine Lord's back because this section of the void had been extended to an unimaginable length.
"Who?!" Qingzong Divine Lord's face paled.
This was undoubtedly a void technique, and its level was extremely high and exquisite, surpassing his own. It was likely from an eighth heaven peak void overlord.
Could it be Vanggu Divine Lord's divine energy incarnation?
But according to the information he knew, wasn't Vanggu's true body trapped in a dangerous place?
Before Qingzong Divine Lord could ponder further, he realized the source of the void power. In the void, a figure walked over from a distance, and with just a flash, he arrived beside Vanggu Divine Lord.
He was simply dressed, and his expression was calm. He extended his right hand, using two fingers to pinch, and the green sword light that was still flying was now trapped between his fingers. It seemed like an ordinary move, but between those two fingers was an intricate and vast void power, containing layer upon layer of worlds, instantly suppressing the green sword light.
The sword light unleashed by Qingzong Shenjun with all his might was instantly extinguished between the two fingers of the approaching figure!
"It's you!"
Qingzong Shenjun's pupils contracted sharply, recognizing the visitor.
Among the powerful Divine Lords who dominated the Boundless Star River during this period, none were more feared than the 'Mu Shenjun' before him. His Void techniques at the Eighth Heaven Limit were unfathomable, making him an unpredictable force.
This Mu Shenjun was clearly acting on behalf of Vanggu Shenjun, and it seemed there was a connection between Vanggu Shenjun and this mysterious Mu Shenjun. It made sense, as they both belonged to the Void lineage and might even be from the same sect!
In the void,
After receiving a sword light from Qingzong Shenjun, Chen Mu's gaze remained calm as he stared at Qingzong Shenjun. With a slight wave of the two fingers that had extinguished the sword light, he slashed diagonally towards Qingzong Shenjun.
Qingzong Shenjun's expression changed instantly, and without hesitation, he unleashed a burst of green light, attempting to escape into the distance. However, before his figure could even flicker, the nearby void solidified and froze, and then an invisible line of the void extended, instantly dividing the void within a million li radius into two!
Qingzong Shenjun's body was also cut in half at the center.
Humming.
The bisected Qingzong Shenjun's two halves instantly melted and merged into two green lights, combining once again. They ignited, releasing a powerful aura, breaking free from the void's restraints, and swiftly escaping into the distance.
After repelling Qingzong Shenjun and nearly inflicting severe damage, Chen Mu stood tall in the starry sky, gazing into the distance with a casual glance. Far away in the void, the Eight Heaven Divine Lords who had followed Qingzong Shenjun and Vanggu Shenjun were all startled, quickly dispersing and daring not to continue their prying.
Only after sensing that all presences had left,
Did Chen Mu turn to look at Vanggu Shenjun, nodding slightly towards him.
"It seems I arrived just in time."
"The timing couldn't be more perfect."
Vanggu Shenjun immediately smiled and thanked Chen Mu.
Chen Mu glanced at Vanggu Shenjun but didn't inquire about the resources he had obtained. Instead, he asked, "Brother Vanggu, what are your plans now? Are you returning to the Vanggu Void, or will you accompany me for a while?"
Having acquired a strange treasure, Vanggu Shenjun was likely already being targeted. If he didn't want to return to the Vanggu Void and chose to stay in the Boundless Star River, he would undoubtedly face numerous dangers. Chen Mu, having intervened, was committed to protecting him to the end. As they shared the same Void lineage, Vanggu Shenjun's presence wouldn't hinder his combat or actions.
Chen Mu knew that Vanggu Shenjun wouldn't want to miss the moment of the Boundless Star River's destruction.
After hearing Chen Mu's words, Vanggu Shenjun only hesitated slightly before speaking up, "If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask you to take care of this incarnation of mine."
Since he had already asked Chen Mu for assistance, he wouldn't be overly concerned about formalities, especially since they shared the same Void lineage. Chen Mu's protection of this incarnation wouldn't hinder him, and he genuinely wanted to witness the destruction of the Boundless Star River, hoping to gain insights into the Void Dao.
"Alright."
Chen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Then please bear with me, Brother Vanggu."
Vanggu Shenjun smiled and replied, "No problem at all."
Swish.
As his words fell, Chen Mu waved his sleeve towards Vanggu Shenjun, and in an instant, his sleeve expanded, enveloping Vanggu Shenjun's incarnation and drawing it into his robe sleeve.
Although it appeared to have entered the robe sleeve, Vanggu Shenjun's incarnation had actually crossed through the void, directly entering the vast and magnificent Great Xuan World, arriving at the highest point of its sky dome.
"In just a few dozen eras, this world has already undergone a complete transformation."
Vanggu Shenjun looked down at the Great Xuan World below, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment.
As a world nurtured by the Vanggu Void, the Great Xuan World could be considered one of his territories. After Chen Mu refined and transformed it into an inner world using the Multiverse Divine Art, the current Great Xuan World had undergone a dramatic change compared to its initial state.
The size of the world's territory had expanded by hundreds or even thousands of times compared to when he had repelled Shangmang Mjun. Even now, it continued to expand slowly.
The life forms within the world had not yet flourished enough to occupy the entire world.
Structurally, the current Great Xuan World wasn't too different from the Vanggu World. After all, the Vanggu World was a world he had created after countless years of effort, serving as his main base. The current Great Xuan World, in essence, had already surpassed any of the great worlds within the Vanggu Void, second only to the Vanggu World.
However,
The life forms within the Great Xuan World were not as prosperous. Vanggu Shenjun only roughly sensed the presence of a single Six Heaven Divine Realm cultivator, with the rest mostly at the Four and Five Heaven levels, totaling only a dozen or so.
In comparison, his Vanggu World had thousands of Four and Five Heaven cultivators, and dozens at the Six Heaven level.
This was because Chen Mu's cultivation progress was too rapid for the Great Xuan World to keep up. However, the entire world was influenced by Chen Mu, constantly undergoing transformation. The concentration of heaven and earth's energy within the world had already increased by several dozen times.
Nowadays, the ordinary life forms in the Great Xuan World were born with all their meridians open. They only needed to reach adulthood to naturally enter the Bone Tempering Realm, with their five viscera and six entrails serving as the foundation for cultivation, a stark contrast to the past.
Vanggu Shenjun wasn't particularly interested in the Great Xuan World. He was only slightly curious as to why a figure like Chen Mu would care so much about the bloodline causality of the Great Xuan World after his reincarnation.
He could clearly perceive the connection between Chen Mu and the Great Xuan World, as well as the unbreakable causality between Chen Mu and Chen Yue, Chen Yao, Xu Hongyu, and many other life forms.
However,
Vanggu Shenjun didn't delve further into this matter. After all, in the vast cosmos, there were countless Divine Lords, each with their unique personalities. Some were indifferent to all life, while others were brutal and violent, leaving a trail of slaughter wherever they went. Conversely, there were also Divine Lords who were compassionate and empathetic, treating all life forms with kindness wherever they went.
After a moment of thought, Vanggu Shenjun didn't approach those with a causal connection to Chen Mu. Instead, he casually sat down in the outskirts of the Great Xuan World, merging with the void while concealing his presence, and turned his gaze towards the outside world.
The upcoming changes in the Boundless Star River no longer concerned him, and he didn't plan to get involved further. Now, he was merely waiting for the final moment of destruction, hoping to gain some insights into the Void lineage's Dao.
