Chapter 711: Death, Like Dust
Chapter 711: Death, Like Dust
"Hmm?"
Just as the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord were exploring the deeper layers of the Endless Abyss, one of the leading Nine Heavens Deuses, Lord Konghuan, suddenly halted, his eyes flashing with an unusual color.
Following closely behind, the other five Nine Heavens Deuses, including the Demon Ancestor, also stopped in their tracks, all gazing towards the void ahead, each with a look of bewilderment and uncertainty.
In the distance, within the darkness of the void, a shadowy figure appeared, its face indiscernible, only a silhouette visible. But just by staring at it, an inexplicable sense of unease filled their hearts.
Strangely, while they could see the figure's outline with their eyes, they couldn't sense it at all through perception, whether through life, the myriad spirits, or the myriad forms of causality. Every method of perception yielded the same result: the space ahead was empty, a void without any living beings.
"What's going on?"
Someone's gaze intensified, their expression turning wary.
This was the deeper layers of the Endless Abyss, a place not known for its kindness. Even though they were all Nine Heavens Deuses, this incomprehensible situation made their hearts grow cautious, and for a moment, no one dared to act rashly.
"Unperceivable, but it seems to exist. What kind of strange power is this? Could it be some exotic beast from the Abyss?"
"What should we do, fellow Deuses?"
Lord Konghuan took the initiative to suggest a detour.
Normally, even if they encountered an Abyssal beast, the six of them together would not fear it. But the current situation was beyond their understanding, and it seemed eerie, prompting some to want to avoid it.
Before they could make a decision, the blurry shadow gradually materialized in their line of sight, eventually taking the form of a young man in a plain, long robe. He stood there, his gaze calm, gazing into the void.
"It's you!"
Seeing the figure materialize from the void, the Demon Ancestor was taken aback, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Beside him, Ming Fan Divine Lord's eyes also flickered with a cold glint. "Lord Chen Mu, I didn't expect to see you again. As a master of the Void Lineage, a Divine Lord, you haven't found the exit of the Endless Abyss either?"
Chen Mu was a reincarnated Divine Lord, so it was no surprise that he had quickly regained his Nine Heavens cultivation. Both Ming Fan Divine Lord and the Demon Ancestor were certain that Chen Mu was not their match. But as fellow Nine Heavens Deuses, they had joined forces with others, agreeing to advance and retreat together. They were not afraid.
"..."
Chen Mu stood there, looking at the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord. These two former adversaries, he had wanted to exchange a few words with them, especially the Demon Ancestor, who had once put the entire Great Xuan world in crisis.
But when he effortlessly shattered the rules of the Endless Abyss, directly manifesting his avatar within it, standing before the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord, he lost the desire to converse, feeling suddenly disinterested.
"In the cycle of causality, the beginning and the end, all return to dust."
Chen Mu spoke with a slight sigh, then casually waved his hand forward.
There was no earth-shattering power, no boundless might, just an invisible force that seemed to pluck at the threads connecting the heavens and the universe.
Ding!
A faint, almost inaudible sound rang out.
The Demon Ancestor's cold expression froze on his face, and then his entire body began to turn to dust from the ground up, inch by inch, his life mark and divine power disintegrating without any sign of resistance.
Not only was his divine body disintegrating, but the few avatars he had left in the upper layers of the Endless Abyss also crumbled at the same moment.
"This..."
In his final moment, the Demon Ancestor was filled with astonishment.
He hadn't seen Chen Mu make a move, nor had he felt any attack. His Nine Heavens divine body, meticulously refined, was disintegrating without a trace, along with his life mark. This was beyond his comprehension.
What kind of technique was this?
What method had Chen Mu used?
With these final questions, his consciousness completely vanished into nothingness.
As for Ming Fan Divine Lord, as his body disintegrated and his divine body crumbled, he widened his eyes in that instant, trying to struggle. But all his power was useless, and in that moment, it was as if he had shed the halo of a deity, becoming an ordinary mortal. All the divine power within him rapidly decayed.
"This can't be..."
Ming Fan Divine Lord was bewildered.
He knew that both he and the Demon Ancestor had attained the Nine Heavens cultivation, and Chen Mu must have made progress. But as fellow Nine Heavens Deuses, how could he be wiped out by Chen Mu's single attack? No, he didn't even know how Chen Mu had attacked.
In his final moment, Ming Fan Divine Lord's last thought was one of disbelief. He vaguely felt that this power shouldn't belong to a Divine Lord, that it seemed to transcend the Divine Lord realm, a transcendent might beyond the Shen Jing.
And in the vast universe, only a Great Way Sovereign could possess such might.
In a short span of time,
Chen Mu had already traversed the path of immortality, crossed the threshold of the Shen Jing, reached the end, and ascended to the position of a Great Way Sovereign?
With a hint of doubt and incomprehension, Ming Fan Divine Lord's last trace of consciousness also dissipated.
In the arena,
They watched as the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord silently disintegrated, the remaining four Divine Lords, including Lord Konghuan, all trembled, their faces changing drastically, filled with horror and disbelief.
They too, failed to perceive any manifestation of power, any eruption of divine energy from Chen Mu. Yet, despite being at the same level as the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord, they were utterly annihilated in an instant, leaving no trace.
Such power...
Some struggled to look at Chen Mu, their eyes gradually revealing awe.
"Kong Huan, I pay my respects to the Venerable!"
Kong Huan Divine Lord was the first to react, without hesitation, his eyes filled with reverence as he bowed deeply towards Chen Mu.
Even among the Nine Heavens Divine Lords, there are varying degrees of strength. Those at the pinnacle, with their Three Paths Perfection or even Three Paths Great Perfection, could easily annihilate Ming Fan Divine Lord and the Demon Ancestor. But they would still need to take action, to display their divine energy and the power of the Grand Way. To erase two Nine Heavens Divine Lords without a trace, this was beyond the power of a Divinity King. Only a Grand Way Venerable could achieve such a feat!
In other words, the young figure who had descended was a Supreme Grand Way Venerable!
"I pay my respects to the Venerable!"
The other three reacted almost simultaneously, their bodies trembling, their eyes filled with reverence as they bowed in the void, not daring to raise their heads to look directly at Chen Mu.
Although they had reached the Nine Heavens, and aspired to walk the path of a Grand Way Venerable, they knew their journey had only just begun. The path to the Nine Heavens Perfection was long and arduous. Only after reaching the Nine Heavens Perfection would they have a sliver of a chance to attain the Venerable realm, and even then, it would be a mere sliver.
In the vast universe, out of countless Nine Heavens Divine Lords, only a mere hundred or so could truly attain the Venerable realm.
A rare one in a million!
Once a Grand Way Venerable is attained, they become truly Supreme, transcending the universe. Even if the universe were to perish, they would exist alongside the Primordial Way, able to transcend the cycle of reincarnation and arrive at the next cosmic creation.
The four Divine Lords bowed deeply in the void, maintaining their kneeling posture. After a long while, when no movement came, someone finally cautiously glanced forward, only to find that Chen Mu's figure had already disappeared.
"He's gone?"
Kong Huan Divine Lord slowly raised his head, first sighing in relief, then showing a hint of disappointment.
A Grand Way Venerable...
The Supreme realm, reaching the peak of the universe... In truth, they, having reached the Nine Heavens, had only arrived at the foot of that mountain. But the path to the summit was incredibly arduous; out of millions of Divine Lords, only a few could truly reach the top.
For them, falling into the Endless Abyss was a struggle, and escaping required effort and deep exploration. But for a Grand Way Venerable, descending into the Endless Abyss was a mere thought, coming and going freely, unbound by the Endless Abyss.
However,
Kong Huan Divine Lord glanced once more at the place where the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord had perished, shaking his head imperceptibly.
Listening to the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord's words, these two had once had a grudge with a Grand Way Venerable. Undoubtedly, this grudge was formed before the Venerable had attained the realm. If the other party had not attained the Venerable realm, the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord might have had a chance at survival. But now that the other party had become a Grand Way Venerable, before a Venerable, there was no path to survival.
To offend a Grand Way Venerable was, in a sense, a rare occurrence among millions of Divine Lords.
...
After annihilating the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Lord, the grudge from the past was completely erased.
Chen Mu still stood at the depths of the Endless Abyss, alone. At this moment, he had no more grudges with the sentient beings of the universe. He swept his gaze across the entire Endless Abyss, seeing countless beings who had fallen here, and many like Kong Huan Divine Lord, searching for an exit in groups of Nine Heavens Divine Lords.
He was still in the same place, but he didn't let Kong Huan Divine Lord and the others see him, so they couldn't perceive his existence.
"Without Beginning, Without End."
"This Endless Abyss is indeed a microcosm of the universe, a special cage, but nothing more..."
After a moment, Chen Mu shook his head slightly.
He had once fallen into the Endless Abyss, and survived here for a period. He had also explored the depths of the Endless Abyss, investigating its void structure and essence, thereby comprehending the Void Way.
But now, he had finally achieved perfection, merging with the Grand Way, mastering the void. The entire Endless Abyss was laid bare before his eyes, its structure, construction, and power all clearly presented.
Of course,
The essence of the Endless Abyss was a product of the Grand Way's evolution, and indeed, it was mixed with some inferior Primordial Power. This Primordial Power was the rule that trapped sentient beings, and even Nine Heavens Divine Lords struggled to forcibly break through it.
However, for Chen Mu at this moment, this inferior Primordial Power was too crude and inferior, offering little value for comprehension, far less than the beasts in the Source Realm.
Moreover, he temporarily had no plans to comprehend the Primordial Power. He still needed to thoroughly understand the Training Principles of Creation, the Dao of Time, and the Grand Way, one step at a time. Only after comprehending all three would he be qualified to attempt the fusion of the Grand Way, the Three-in-One, transcending the other shore.
Swish.
In an instant, without a sound, Chen Mu's figure disappeared into the depths of the Endless Abyss. Aside from Kong Huan Divine Lord and a few others, no one knew he had ever been here, and no one knew the truth behind Ming Fan Divine Lord and the Demon Ancestor's deaths. These two Divine Lords, who had endured countless tribulations to finally reach the Nine Heavens, were like a mere speck of dust, vanishing in the surging river.
No one knew, and no one cared.
