Chapter 697: The Path of the Overlord
Chapter 697: The Path of the Overlord
Even though Chen Mu's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Three Lineages, the pinnacle just below the Overlord realm, he could be considered invincible in the vast universe, with no one to rival him.
The dangers in the universe, aside from the Source Realm, could be said to pose almost no threat to Chen Mu.
Places like the Endless Abyss were no longer a concern for Chen Mu. Although he couldn't come and go as he pleased, he could still traverse them at will.
However,
Having reached this level, Chen Mu didn't show any joy, his expression remaining as calm as still water.
Whether it was the Great Perfection of the Dual Pulse or the Great Perfection of the Three Lineages, neither could be considered a true qualitative change. Although his strength had increased, even if it were to multiply several times over, he would still be far from a match for a Great Dao Overlord.
Great Dao Overlords had completely comprehended and mastered a Great Dao, reaching the realm of merging their body with the Dao. The power they possessed was beyond what could be achieved through mere accumulation of divine power.
It could be said that they were on another level.
This gap was even greater than that between a god and a mortal!
In the mortal realm, if one could reach the ninth level below the divine realm, they might barely be able to rival the weakest level of the Divine God Realm. Although the gap still existed, at least they could come close.
But no matter how much a Divine Lord trained, they couldn't get close to a Great Dao Overlord. Even with many Great Perfections of the Three Lineages, they were still like ants.
For example, the Divine Lords of the Suiyue Lineage, even if they cultivated to perfection, would still struggle to defy the basic rules of the Suiyue Great Dao. Such as traveling back in time to the past and killing an opponent when they were still weak.
But a Great Dao Overlord could!
For a Suiyue Overlord, achieving such a feat was not difficult!
A master at the Great Perfection of the Three Lineages, even with some influence over the Suiyue Lineage, could only affect their past self to a certain extent. But when facing a Great Dao Overlord, it was a completely different concept.
Only a Great Dao Overlord could rival another Great Dao Overlord.
Take Chen Mu, for instance. If he were to base himself on the Void and achieve the status of a Void Overlord, then when facing the Suiyue Overlord's ability to transcend time, he would possess the power to resist.
Although Void Overlords couldn't travel back to the past, they could merge their body with the Dao. Once they integrated the power of the Great Dao, the power of the Great Dao would naturally pass through the past and future.
Killing a past self to try and eliminate a Great Dao Overlord was impossible.
Of course,
According to Chen Mu's current understanding, a Great Dao Overlord should not have reached the level of 'Eternal Validation, Everlasting Immortality' yet.
In other words, merely proving oneself in a single Great Dao to become an Overlord was not complete. They could only control one type of Prime Source Power.
Only by merging the three into one could one truly transcend, reaching the state of the Other Shore, the Dao Fruit, and Eternal Validation, transcending the realms of Suiyue, Void, and Creation, and residing above them.
"Great Dao Overlord..."
Chen Mu muttered to himself, summoning the system panel.
【Mystic Fusion: Split, Converge, Extend, Overlie, Infinity】
【Experience: 34.18 million points】
"One-third is complete."
Chen Mu gazed at the data on the system panel, his eyes calm and deep.
The effect of Wu Dao Qinglianzi's guidance was astonishingly good, bringing him an experience boost that could be described as rapid. After consuming all of it, not only did it help him reach the Nine Heavens Perfection in the Suiyue Great Dao, but it also provided him with over 30 million points of experience for the complete fusion of the Void Lineage!
One hundred million points of experience was not a small amount, but it was also not a lot compared to many Divine Lords who had endured countless calamities over an extended period. For Chen Mu, gathering this one-third of the experience was merely a brief moment in his journey.
Furthermore,
In the coming years, he would hunt with the means of the Great Perfection of the Dual Pulse, and his true strength would be that of the Great Perfection of the Three Lineages. His efficiency in gathering various resources would be far greater than before.
As long as he had enough of the Stone's harvest, Chen Mu could naturally purchase some higher-level supplies within the Wuxiang City, even if they didn't reach the level of WuDao Qinglian Zi, it would still greatly increase the speed of his accumulation of experience in comprehending the Great Dao.
"Next is the final step towards becoming a Great Dao Overlord."
Chen Mu muttered to himself, then closed the system panel and collected his thoughts, beginning to sort out the many matters from this period.
The majority of them were attempts to contact him, including figures from the Suiyue Temple and the Vastexpanse Temple.
After a brief contemplation, Chen Mu set these contacts aside for the moment.
He didn't need to guess; he also knew that those top-tier powers would inevitably try to recruit him.
Take the Suiyue Temple, for instance. Although it had countless powerful individuals, and even more than one Great Dao Overlord at the top, these Overlords weren't guardians of the Dao and wouldn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Divine Lords.
For instance, the Era Union, a hunting organization established by the Suiyue Temple within Wuxiang City, even if it encountered great troubles, it was basically impossible to attract the attention of the Overlords.
Furthermore,
The Era Union was just a small force within the Suiyue Temple, formed by a small portion of the Divine Lords under the Suiyue Temple who had fallen into the Wuxiang City region and gathered together.
Here, they basically had no external support or assistance, and how much resources they could seize and how they trained was entirely up to them.
At most, when encountering terrifying Monster Beasts comparable to Overlords, they could have a sliver of confidence to protect their lives!
This confidence in protecting their lives didn't come from themselves but from the fact that they all had Avatars remaining in the Suiyue Temple, under the protection of the Suiyue Temple's Overlords.
Therefore, even when facing terrifying Monster Beasts comparable to Overlords, the most they could do was kill their Shen Li Zhen Shen in Wuxiang City, unable to remotely kill off all their Avatars.
In this situation,
Whether it was the Suiyue Temple or the Vastexpanse Temple, they naturally wanted to recruit him, this 'Dual Pulse Full Perfection' who had suddenly appeared in Wuxiang City. Once they could obtain his assistance, they could suppress the other powers within Wuxiang City.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu secretly shook his head in his heart. If the Suiyue Temple, Vastexpanse Temple, and other powers knew that he had already ascended to the San Mao Da Wan Yuan, they would probably increase their efforts to recruit him.
But,
No matter how they tried to recruit him, he wouldn't consider it.
The current him didn't want to have any dealings with any power that had Overlords. Even if the possibility of attracting the attention of Overlords was minuscule, he wasn't willing to add any additional risk.
This was already good enough. His path to becoming an Overlord was already one-third complete, and his cultivation wouldn't encounter any bottlenecks. As long as he safely completed the remaining two-thirds, he would become the newly ascended Void Lineage Great Dao Overlord in this universe!
"Hmm? Did Fangwu come looking for me?"
Chen Mu set aside the contacts from the various powers and continued sorting out other matters, and soon a faint light appeared in his eyes.
Not only had the Fangwu Divine Lord looked for him in the Endless Abyss's Rong Huo Cheng, but he had also personally visited Chen Mu's World of Da Xuan in the Fangwu Domain.
It was just that Chen Mu had been refining WuDao Qinglian Zi and in deep seclusion, so even Xu Hongyu couldn't contact him.
After a brief consideration, Chen Mu slowly stood up.
He didn't care about others contacting or seeking an audience with him, but the Fangwu Divine Lord had a few favors on him. Although he had already repaid a lot during their past interactions, since the Divine Lord had taken the initiative to find him, he naturally had to go and see him.
