Chapter 673: Settling the Score
Chapter 673: Settling the Score
Amidst the vast expanse of the void, a figure clad in a black robe traversed the void, swiftly crossing through the cracks between realms.
This was the Jie Xie Shen Jun, the same one who had previously attacked Chen Mu, and one of the Divine Lords who had besieged and caused the demise of Jian Mu Shen Jun. At this moment, his face was grim as he tried to conceal his presence, swiftly passing through one realm after another, leaving no traces and avoiding any encounters with other powers.
"Damn it! In just over a hundred epochs, he has returned to the Ninth Heaven. How did Jian Mu get such good fortune? He managed to associate with such a remarkable figure, and even after death, he still won't let us rest easy!"
Jie Xie Shen Jun's expression was grim.
Although he had distanced himself from Nan Hua Void for a long time, and the place he was currently in was already separated from Nan Hua Void by thousands of realms, his heart was still filled with unease.
He had already learned the news from Nan Hua Void—the collapse of Zu Mo Jie, the annihilation of the Demon Race, and Chen Mu's ascension to the Ninth Heaven. Naturally, he felt a sense of oppression, as if dark clouds loomed over his head.
This was too absurd!
The reincarnation of the Ninth Heaven was an extremely rare occurrence, and yet he had the misfortune of encountering it.
When he first heard about Chen Mu, he never imagined it would be related to this. Jian Mu Shen Jun cultivated the life path, and over the long years, he had nurtured countless lives. He also enjoyed cultivating lives in various places, so when he learned about Chen Mu, he assumed Chen Mu was one of the lives carefully nurtured by Jian Mu Shen Jun.
But in reality, Chen Mu was a reincarnation of the Ninth Heaven!
Normally, an existence like Chen Mu would have no connection to Jian Mu Shen Jun. However, Chen Mu had reincarnated in an uncivilized world and had once received some resources from Jian Mu Shen Jun.
For a figure like Chen Mu, even without Jian Mu Shen Jun's assistance, he would undoubtedly achieve the status of a Divine Lord and return to the Ninth Heaven. But with the help of Jian Mu Shen Jun along the way, Chen Mu had formed a connection with him.
What kind of existence were the Divine Lords of the Ninth Heaven?
If Jian Mu Shen Jun had associated with Chen Mu, he wouldn't have perished. With Chen Mu's protection, no one in the entire Nan Hua Void would dare provoke Jian Mu Shen Jun.
Moreover, with the guidance of a Divine Lord like Chen Mu, Jian Mu Shen Jun might not have been stuck at the Seventh Heaven's peak. At the very least, his chances of entering the Eighth Heaven would have been significantly increased.
But the situation was indeed bizarre.
In the short time before Chen Mu's rise, Jian Mu Shen Jun accidentally formed a karmic connection with Chen Mu. Subsequently, Jian Mu perished under their siege and attacks, bringing Chen Mu to their attention. In the end, they misjudged Chen Mu's identity, believing him to be a young genius favored by both Jian Mu and Banggan, a once-in-a-million chance encounter. As a result, they besieged Chen Mu, ultimately creating an irreconcilable grudge.
How terrifying was a Divine Lord of the Ninth Heaven who cultivated the Void path? Jie Xie Shen Jun had never even witnessed a Divine Lord of the Ninth Heaven taking action in all his long years. The most fearsome figure he had encountered from the Void path was an Eighth Heaven Overlord.
And even that Eighth Heaven Overlord possessed extremely terrifying means. If he were to face that Divine Lord directly, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of escaping from their grasp. If they were determined to kill him, even as a peak Seventh Heaven figure, it would be extremely difficult for him to survive, let alone Chen Mu, who had already reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Heaven!
At this moment,
All he could do was to conceal the karmic energy as much as possible, distance himself from Nan Hua Void, and flee to the remote edges of the vast cosmos.
As a peak Seventh Heaven Divine Lord, he had seen and experienced much, but he didn't know where the edge of this cosmos was. He only knew that the vast cosmos contained countless realms, making it nearly impossible to count.
A realm often consisted of three thousand great worlds, and a throne often had three thousand realms. The entire vast cosmos had an unknown number of thrones, and even Divine Lords would find it challenging to reach its end.
Jie Xie Shen Jun could only hope that Chen Mu had no interest in him, ignored him, or couldn't find him due to his distant escape. In that case, he might still have a chance to seek survival in the remote edges of the cosmos.
As a Divine Lord, his lifespan was long, and he was indestructible for millions of epochs. As long as he stayed alive, he always had the opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao and ascend to the Eighth or even the Ninth Heaven. Moreover, this incident was undoubtedly a calamity for him.
The Great Dao of the cosmos brought both fortune and adversity. Surviving a calamity often led to great opportunities. If he could survive this calamity, perhaps it wouldn't be long before he broke through the bottleneck that had hindered him for so many years and entered the Eighth Heaven.
This was Jie Xie Shen Jun's thought process.
He continued to flee further into the void, avoiding any secret realms and the presence of other Divine Lords or even ordinary True Gods.
After an unknown period of continuous escape, he finally traversed numerous voids and reached the edge of this void seat. In the distance, he could already see the edge of the void seat, like a white sky curtain, covering the entire field of vision.
"I've crossed another void seat."
Kui Xie Shen Jun muttered to himself and headed towards the void seat's boundary.
However,
In the next moment, his figure suddenly halted, and the ray of escaping light slowed down abruptly, eventually stopping before the void seat's boundary, which resembled a white sky curtain.
Kui Xie Shen Jun stood there, his face stern, gazing at the void seat's boundary not far away. He saw a figure standing in front of the boundary, hands behind his back, seemingly having arrived here long ago and waiting for him for a long time.
That figure was none other than Chen Mu!
"Kui Xie."
"It's been a long time."
Chen Mu stood before the void seat's boundary, his gaze calm as he looked at Kui Xie Shen Jun and said, "As far as I know, when you and others attacked and killed Jian Mu Shen Jun, it was because Jian Mu Shen Jun had obtained an extremely precious treasure in a secret realm, right? I'm a little curious about what that treasure was."
Kui Xie Shen Jun looked at Chen Mu with a dark gaze, not responding. After a long while, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed, saying, "It was a piece of Fu Sheng Wood."
Fu Sheng Wood.
One of the top-tier and extremely valuable Qiwu of the Zhaohua lineage, if a Shen Jun below the Ninth Heaven could obtain a piece of Fu Sheng Wood, they could use it to nurture a Fu Sheng body comparable to their own!
Its characteristics and abilities are similar to those of a Jie Mian Fen Shen, and it is more flexible than a Jie Mian Fen Shen. After all, cultivating the Void lineage to a certain level is required to achieve unity with the human realm before one can freely move in the cosmos.
In comparison, the Fu Sheng body's strength is almost equivalent to the main body, and there are no restrictions on its activities!
Obtaining a piece of Fu Sheng Wood
is almost like gaining an extra life!
This extremely valuable Qiwu treasure, even the overlords of the Eighth Heaven Overlord and the Eighth Heaven Limit, would definitely try to seize it upon hearing about it. No wonder Kui Xie, Cang Shu, and many other Shen Jun were so eager to obtain it!
"So, that's why this treasure ended up in the hands of Ming Fan Shen Jun?"
After hearing Kui Xie's words, Chen Mu's expression didn't change much.
Although the Fu Sheng Wood is indeed an extremely precious treasure, comparable to a complete set of high-level Shen Bing, it is no longer of much use to him now that he has ascended to the Ninth Heaven.
The Fu Sheng Wood cannot nurture a Ninth Heaven incarnation; its limit is the Eighth Heaven.
Of course,
If one could truly obtain a piece of Fu Sheng Wood and use it to nurture an Eighth Heaven Limit Fu Sheng incarnation, it wouldn't be completely useless. At least for Chen Mu, it would make handling many matters a little more convenient.
After all, at present, his Shen Li Zhen Shen is still trapped in the Endless Abyss, unable to break free for the time being. Only his Jie Mian Fen Shen can move freely in the vast void.
Speaking of which, at this point, Chen Mu doesn't plan to let his Shen Li Zhen Shen leave the Endless Abyss for now. At least in the short term, he doesn't have such a plan. On one hand, exploring the deeper regions of the Endless Abyss is also a matter of luck for the Ninth Heaven, and it's not something that can be achieved in a short period.
On the other hand, the separation between the inside and outside of the Endless Abyss is actually a good thing for him.
After all, even though he has ascended to the Ninth Heaven, in the vast cosmos with countless void seats and countless Worldly Celebrity Shen Jun, there are still existences that can threaten him. The separation between the inside and outside of the Endless Abyss means that the dangers within and without do not connect, making it a place where he can stay for an extended period.
There are many Ninth Heaven Shen Jun residing in the Endless Abyss for this very reason; they are safe enough within the abyss and have war-strength incarnations in the outside world, so they are not in a hurry to leave.
"That's right."
Kui Xie Shen Jun slowly opened his eyes, his gaze regaining its calmness. He said indifferently, "It was Cang Shu Shen Jun who initially discovered the clues. He realized that Jian Mu had obtained a treasure, but he wasn't confident in taking it from Jian Mu, so he contacted me and Feng Mao Shen Jun. However, the three of us still didn't have absolute certainty, and some unexpected events occurred along the way. Ming Fan Shen Jun learned of the situation, and in the end, we decided to ambush and kill Jian Mu, taking away all his resources."
"After Jian Mu died, Ming Fan Shen Jun took the Fu Sheng Wood, and the three of us divided up all the resources Jian Mu left behind. Additionally, Ming Fan Shen Jun also gave each of us three some benefits."
After hearing Kui Xie's words, Chen Mu wasn't too surprised.
In the vast cosmos, divine beings constantly engage in conflicts, vying for resources and the Dao. It's not surprising that Jian Mu Shen Jun, upon obtaining an extremely precious treasure, would be jointly attacked and killed by other Shen Jun.
Despite Jianmu Shenjun being a renowned Shenjun with numerous life-preserving methods, Qiexie Shenjun and his companions were not pushovers, and even Ming Fan Shenjun, the overlord of the Eighth Heaven, had intervened. In the end, their deaths could only be lamented.
As for the floating wood, it should still be in Ming Fan Shenjun's possession.
Creating a floating body from the wood requires a long time, at least hundreds or thousands of eras. From Jianmu Shenjun's demise to Chen Mu's rise from obscurity, there hasn't been enough time for such a process.
Ming Fan Shenjun probably hadn't had time to create a floating incarnation. Otherwise, when he joined forces with Mozu to assassinate Chen Mu, he could have used the floating incarnation as a backup. If there had been one more Eighth Heaven-level powerhouse at that time, even if Chen Mu could still handle it, it would have been much more difficult, and the situation would have been far more perilous. It might have even required the intervention of Vanggu Divine Lord's incarnation.
"You attempted to assassinate me, but by then, you were no longer a threat to me, and I didn't care. However, I was indebted to Jianmu Shenjun. His death at your hands must be resolved by me."
Chen Mu looked at Qiexie Shenjun and spoke calmly, "I will only make one move. If you can block it, you will live."
Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, Qiexie Shenjun's eyes flashed, knowing that Chen Mu, as a Ninth Heaven existence, possessed unimaginable power. However, with just one move, there might still be a chance to survive!
Without hesitation, as Chen Mu finished speaking, Qiexie Shenjun's entire body suddenly expanded and grew, no longer concealing his aura. He directly ignited his Shenli and unleashed his ultimate technique, pushing his state to its peak!
This was a life-orering burst, and in an instant, his aura almost reached the Seventh Heaven Limit!
However, facing Qiexie Shenjun's all-out eruption, Chen Mu's eyes remained calm, and he simply raised his hand, closing his five fingers towards Qiexie Shenjun, and grasping remotely.
Boom!
In that moment, the void solidified, and the starry sky froze!
Qiexie Shenjun's surging and vast Seventh Heaven Limit aura, his overwhelming Seventh Heaven Limit power, was instantly crushed and shattered under the suppression of the vast void power.
His body seemed like paper, and under Chen Mu's light grip, it twisted and crumbled, squeezing him into a ball. All the life imprints and Shenli within his divine body were crushed and shattered in an instant!
At the same time,
This surging and vast power also spread along Qiexie Shenjun's body, following the Yin Gua Zhi Xian towards all his incarnations.
...
In a remote forest, one of Qiexie Shenjun's incarnations sat in meditation. His aura was not powerful, only at the Sixth Heaven Limit.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, revealing a sigh and bitterness.
He couldn't block it.
The power of the Ninth Heaven was too terrifying. Even as a peak Seventh Heaven Shenjun, he couldn't withstand even a single move, and his divine body collapsed.
Qiexie Shenjun's incarnation sat there, and in the next moment, his entire body solidified, reflecting a point of chaos and nothingness in his eyes, which instantly permeated his entire gaze, making it dark and dim.
Bang!
His entire incarnation disintegrated and vanished.
Although Chen Mu wasn't a Shenjun of the Zhaohua lineage, using Yin Gua means to kill incarnations and life imprints remotely was not his specialty. However, the Void lineage also had similar methods.
The power of this move, spreading from the main body, was guided by the Yin Gua Zhi Xian, and with the infinite extension of the void as a measure, the divine might that permeated was still vast and immeasurable. It instantly shook and shattered his incarnation.
...
At the bottom of an ocean, another incarnation of Qiexie Shenjun sat in meditation. At this moment, he also opened his eyes, revealing a sigh, and then his body solidified and collapsed in an instant.
This scene occurred in various regions, all leading to the same conclusion.
In Chen Mu's eyes, over a dozen Yin Gua Zhi Xian were reflected, extending in different directions. The power unleashed by his single move permeated along these lines, causing them to disappear one by one.
Finally,
All the Yin Gua related to Qiexie Shenjun that Chen Mu could perceive were completely erased without a trace.
At that same moment, Chen Mu slowly lowered his hand, gazing at the squeezed void in front of him. As the void gradually returned to normal, there was no longer any trace of Qiexie Shenjun's aura within it.
