Chapter 666: The Final Hour
Chapter 666: The Final Hour
In the dim starry sky,
the chaotic battles raged on.
However, as time passed, the numerous void black holes also began to gradually merge with each other, forming one massive void black hole after another. Describing them as 'massive' might not be entirely accurate, as these void black holes, in terms of spatial dimensions, almost lacked a sense of scale. They were called 'massive' due to their overwhelming might and the vast range of the void they affected.
The constantly merging void black holes tore at the void's power with increasing intensity, further shrinking the Boundless Star River. Compared to its initial size, it had now shrunk by thousands to tens of thousands of times.
Even though the Boundless Star River, which had shrunk by thousands or tens of thousands of times, was still far larger than any large world, for Divine Lord-level beings, the scale was no longer considered too vast. Although they couldn't traverse it in a single step, crossing the entire Boundless Star River would take no more than a moment.
However, at this point,
the void black holes,
having merged to such an extent,
were almost like living entities.
These void black holes were so powerful that they had even torn apart the eighth layer of the void in the nearby area, transforming into extremely dangerous extermination grounds! If a Seventh Heaven Divine Lord were to approach carelessly, they might be directly devoured. It would be like being suppressed by an Eighth Heaven Overlord Void Overlord, making it difficult to escape, and they might even be crushed to death on the spot.
Amidst the void,
Chen Mu also stood in a certain area, his gaze fixed on the numerous void black holes nearby.
At this moment, he could still resist the pulling force of these void black holes, but a void black hole with such immense power was also more stable than before. At this very moment, it was challenging to give birth to any strange treasures.
"It's almost over."
Chen Mu sensed the void black holes pulling and merging with each other, drawing closer and closer, and he muttered to himself.
By this time, the battles in the Boundless Star River had mostly come to an end. The Seventh Heaven Divine Lord-level beings had mostly stopped fighting and even retreated to the outermost regions to avoid being pulled by the expanding void black holes.
The Eighth Heaven Divine Lords were still fighting, but mostly over the previous resources.
Soon,
as time continued to pass, the final conflicts ceased, and all the Divine Lords temporarily halted their battles. However, no one left; they all watched as the Boundless Star River approached its final moments.
Some were there to gain insights into the Void Dao, while others awaited the final burst at the end. Undoubtedly, when all the void black holes converged and headed towards the great annihilation, there would be one last grand eruption.
The Boundless Star River was an extremely high-level secret realm, and its end in such a manner might even shake or tear apart the ninth layer of the void, causing the resources born from the deepest part of the void to be released. There was no doubt that there would be one last intense battle!
For now, everyone was enduring.
The numerous Divine Lords had a tacit understanding. The Seventh Heaven Divine Lord-level beings mostly stayed in the outer regions, aiming for the resources that might leak out from the inner areas. The Eighth Heaven Divine Lords moved slightly closer to the inner regions.
In the very center, only a few figures stood tall. They didn't conceal their presence but stood there calmly in the heart of the Boundless Star River. Even as the void black holes tore and merged around them, they showed no signs of retreating.
These figures exuded thick divine energy and possessed grand and majestic auras, all standing proudly at the Ninth Heaven!
Heaven's Edge Lord!
Old Ancestor of Southernhua!
Master of the Northern Dominion!
...
Each of them was the lord of a void, an unparalleled Divine Lord of the Ninth Heaven.
In this remote territory within the endless void, the Ninth Heaven Divine Lords were truly exceptional figures, invincible beings. Even the Eighth Heaven Divine Lord Overlords had to bow before them.
These Ninth Heaven Divine Lords stood tall, and none of them made any moves. They, too, were waiting for the final moments of the Boundless Star River. However, they were not afraid of its changes; even if the Boundless Star River's final eruption could shatter the Ninth Heaven Void, it posed no threat to those residing in the Ninth Heaven.
Heaven's Edge Lord wore a white robe adorned with many golden patterns, each with its own unique mystery and forming an extraordinary whole. It was evident that the robe itself was an extraordinary divine weapon.
He leisurely observed the changes in the Boundless Star River, and his gaze inadvertently glanced in a certain direction, where Chen Mu was hiding. Despite Chen Mu's use of void techniques to hide deep within the void, Heaven's Edge Lord, a Ninth Heaven Divine Lord of the Creation Lineage, could still sense a faint trace of life force.
"Nan Hua, that Mu Divine Lord, he emerged from your territory, right?"
The Lord of Heaven's Edge glanced at the Lord of Southernhua not far away.
The Lord of Southernhua, clad in a green robe, maintained a calm demeanor and replied, "That's right. You seem very interested in his background?"
During this period, Chen Mu had become quite renowned in the Boundless Star River. As an Overlord of the Eighth Heaven, his name naturally caught the attention of the Lords of the Void Thrones, including the Lord of Heaven's Edge. However, what truly piqued their interest was Chen Mu's other identity—the 'Reincarnation of the Ninth Heaven'.
In the eyes of these Lords of the Void Thrones, there were few secrets within their nearby territories. With a simple investigation, they could roughly determine Chen Mu's background. Putting aside the Overlord of the Eighth Heaven, the reincarnation aspect was extraordinary.
At the very least,
If the previous life had reached the Ninth Heaven, then in this life, as long as they didn't fall prematurely, they could easily return to the Ninth Heaven.
What truly surprised the Lord of Heaven's Edge was the fact that, according to his intelligence, Chen Mu was almost certainly the reincarnation of a Ninth Heaven cultivator. However, reincarnation was a power possessed only by those from the Creation Lineage of the Ninth Heaven. In other words, Chen Mu's previous life must have been a Ninth Heaven cultivator from the Creation Lineage.
But after his reincarnation, Chen Mu had followed the Void Lineage, and in a short time, he had reached the peak of the Eighth Heaven.
This situation not only surprised the Lord of Heaven's Edge but also made him more cautious. He suspected that Chen Mu's previous life might have been an extremely formidable existence, perhaps even a supreme figure from the 'Dual Lineage of the Void and Creation, Ninth Heaven'.
Such a supreme figure, even in a remote region, would be considered a great presence in the center of the vast cosmos. In the most ancient primordial void, they would be second only to the Great Way Sovereigns!
"Hehe, this person's background is certainly extraordinary. He descended upon your territory, yet you don't intend to befriend him?"
A glint flashed in the Lord of Heaven's Edge's eyes as he chuckled at the Lord of Southernhua.
He was indeed interested in befriending Chen Mu, but he was also wary of Chen Mu's background. He wondered if befriending him might bring about a significant cause and effect that he couldn't handle. After all, Chen Mu had emerged from the Southernhua Void Throne, and the Lord of Southernhua should have deeper insights. He was trying to gather more information from the Lord of Southernhua.
"The reincarnation of a Divine Lord can appear anywhere, and it's normal for them to emerge from my Southernhua Void Throne or your Heaven's Edge Void Throne. If you're interested, you can go and befriend him yourself. I can't control the affairs of Mu Divine Lord."
The Lord of Southernhua responded with a nonchalant expression.
It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding something; he, too, was clueless about Chen Mu and had not even interacted with him yet. Naturally, he wouldn't reveal this to the Lord of Heaven's Edge, and his words were intended to guide the Lord of Heaven's Edge to suspect and ponder on his own.
After hearing the Lord of Southernhua's response, the Lord of Heaven's Edge coldly laughed in his heart. Having been adversaries with the Lord of Southernhua for many years, he was very familiar with him. From the Lord of Southernhua's response, he guessed that the Lord of Southernhua probably didn't know much about Chen Mu either, so he didn't bother engaging in further conversation.
However,
His words caught the attention of the other Lords of the Ninth Heaven.
"Brother Nan Hua, this Mu Divine Lord is indeed extraordinary. Could he be from 'that place'?"
The Lord of the Northern Dominion looked at the Lord of Southernhua with a thoughtful expression and spoke up.
"I don't know."
The Lord of Southernhua shook his head.
The Lord of the Northern Dominion fell into deep contemplation upon seeing this. He also turned his gaze towards the direction of Chen Mu, pondering whether he should pay a visit to this mysterious Mu Divine Lord.
Just as the Lords of the Void Thrones were deep in thought.
Boom!
The dramatic changes in the void began again.
(Chapter End)
After the ninth layer of the void developed cracks, the viscous void force from behind the ninth layer gushed out, sweeping across the area with terrifying might, causing the nearby Divine Lords to pale in fear.
Among them were many overlords at the peak of the Eighth Heaven, who had already retreated to a distance, but they still maintained solemn expressions, continuing to move further away, with no intention of getting closer.
Buzz!
The shattering of the ninth layer of the void finally triggered a chain reaction.
The void black holes that were already attracting and converging with each other accelerated their movements, causing the surrounding void to become turbulent and tumultuous. This was followed by collisions and explosions in various places.
Boom, boom, boom!
Countless void black holes collided with each other, some annihilating, some merging, releasing a mighty force that shook the void, causing the nearby void to surge like a tsunami.
Some of the void's might reached the Eighth Heaven, while others directly touched the Ninth Heaven, causing the entire Boundless Star River to begin contracting inward on a large scale.
Initially, in terms of spatial scale, the Boundless Star River had already shrunk by tens of thousands of times compared to its initial state. Now, it continued to shrink by several times, and within a short period, it contracted by tens of thousands of times again!
The once vast and boundless Boundless Star River, which was almost as large as a void domain, finally approached the size of a world after such a significant contraction. However, it was still far larger than any world, hundreds or even thousands of times bigger than the Vangu Domain or the Great Xuan World.
Even so, for Divine Lord-level existences, this scale was no longer a concern. Even a Seventh Heaven Divine Lord could traverse it in an instant.
Buzz.
The collapse and contraction of the void did not cease.
As the Boundless Star River contracted by tens of thousands of times again, it finally reached a scale similar to a Great World. At the center of the Boundless Star River, an enormous and immeasurable super-giant void black hole finally took shape.
At this moment, not only the Seventh Heaven Divine Lords but even Chen Mu, who had reached the Eight Heaven Limit and belonged to the Void Lineage, felt a sense of apprehension as he gazed at the massive void black hole that contained immense and majestic power.
Just the tearing force alone was causing the nearby Ninth Void to continuously shatter!
"Brother Vangu," Chen Mu called out solemnly, his gaze fixed on the scene before him. He then waved his hand, stirring up a ripple in the void.
Vangu Divine Lord emerged from the void ripple.
As soon as he appeared, a hint of gravity also appeared in Vangu Divine Lord's eyes as he sensed the intense threat emanating from the enormous void black hole. This terrifying void black hole, capable of tearing apart the Ninth Heaven, could even destroy his Divine Power Incarnation if he were drawn into it! After all, it was formed from the complete collapse and distortion of the entire Boundless Star River, concentrating all its mighty power.
At this moment,
Not only Chen Mu and Vangu Divine Lord but even the Empty Seat Lords of the Ninth Heaven, such as the Old Ancestor of Southernhua and the Lord of Heaven's Edge, retreated a certain distance, unwilling to be drawn into the massive void black hole.
Although they all had the ability to resist this power, such resistance was meaningless. This void black hole was approaching its final destruction, and all they needed to do was wait for its demise.
Thus,
In the entire starry sky, silence prevailed as everyone awaited the final moment.
Time passed, and Chen Mu, who had been quietly observing the changes in the void black hole, suddenly had a glint in his eyes, his chin slightly raised, and his body leaning forward slightly.
As the overlord at the Eight Heaven Limit of the Void Lineage, his perception of the void was even more acute than that of the Empty Seat Lords of the Ninth Heaven. Vangu Divine Lord, who was nearby, also had a similar level of perception, but since he was only an incarnation here, his reaction was slightly slower. It was only after Chen Mu took the initiative that he quickly noticed the change.
"It's coming!" Vangu Divine Lord's eyes were solemn, and a flash of light appeared in his gaze.
Finally, at the next moment, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Divine Lord-level existences, the majestic and vast void black hole, which had merged the entire Boundless Star River into a single mass, began to silently collapse and crumble!
