Chapter 1252: Chapter 609: Achieving Divine Monarch! (Part 2)
“Fan Gu, has your true body been trapped or not?”
The Shang Mang Demon Lord gazed into the direction of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, a profound gleam appearing in his eyes.
Once at the borders of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch who had driven him away displayed power reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven. Yet, reflecting carefully afterwards, that may not have been the true body of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch.
It could be that the Fan Gu Divine Monarch encountered some fortuitous creation and crafted a clone possessing Eighth Layer Heaven strength, or perhaps used some special artifact or technique to temporarily elevate to such power.
These two scenarios have significant differences.
If the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s Divine Power True Body were truly trapped and unable to escape, relying solely on a battle clone that can manifest Eighth Layer Heaven might through special means for a short time would be insufficient to guard the resources currently held by the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.
However, if there was a battle clone with Eighth Layer Heaven power in its normal state, though slightly weaker than the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s true divine power body, it would not be so easy to handle. Attempting to seize the resources of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain would then require weighing the pros and cons.
Moreover,
all of this depends on the premise that the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s true divine power body has encountered some problem.
After all, it’s not impossible for the Fan Gu Divine Monarch to deliberately appear weak, setting a trap to lure certain individuals, and then strike decisively to seize massive resources from them.
Due to this, although various factions are still monitoring the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, most hold a stance of observation.
Compared to the ’observe’ attitude of various parties, some lean toward ’testing’, including the Shang Mang Demon Lord, who was the first to strategize and test the presence of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch. Despite suffering a setback, he did glean some information.
“The Dark Sky Tide presents another opportunity.”
After a slight contemplation, the Shang Mang Demon Lord squinted his eyes slightly as he looked toward the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.
Having suffered a setback from the previous probing of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, this time he couldn’t act rashly. He also didn’t want to face the wrath of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch alone, as the Demon Lords of the Demon Clan are not unanimous, and there are those with an ’observing’ attitude. Aggressive factions like him, who lean towards ’testing’, are comparatively fewer.
Just as well, the Dark Sky Abyss is an excellent chance to invisibly test the state of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch once more.
The Fan Gu Ancient Domain thrives because of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, but it also harbors significant issues — notably a huge gap in battle power. Apart from the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, there is no other Divine Monarch who can serve as a pillar of strength.
Of course,
as an Eighth Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch Overlord, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch possesses more than one clone with Seven Layer Heaven battle power, which can handle many situations. But in special circumstances, it still finds itself somewhat strained.
After all, in some special secret realms neighboring the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, at least three require a Seven Layer Heaven Divine Monarch to sit for an extended period. These realms currently have the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s clones stationed, which essentially occupy most of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s energy.
Now,
with the Dark Sky Tide approaching.
Just by applying a little pressure in those secret realms, the battle clones of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch can be tied down, making them unable to respond to the Dark Sky Tide.
All of these maneuvers can be done covertly, without needing direct confrontation with the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, nor direct conflict with the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.
If the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s Divine Power True Body is unharmed,
the Dark Sky Tide is nothing significant, as it can be resolved with a flick of the wrist.
But if his Divine Power True Body is indeed afflicted with an issue, while his attention is divided by various places in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, then the Dark Sky Tide won’t be easily managed!
At this thought,
The Shang Mang Demon Lord turned his gaze to the shadow behind the Dark Sky Abyss, his mind conjuring the image of Chen Mu.
Being a magnificent Seven Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, typical God Realm entities are unworthy of his notice. But Chen Mu is different, this being once regarded as an ant in an uncivilized world at the distant frontier, has now become a highly talented Sixth Layer Heaven Realm Master.
In less than ten thousand Boundary years, to ascend from initial entry into the God Realm to the Sixth Layer Heaven, such a cultivation speed did indeed give the Shang Mang Demon Lord some surprise, and he does not doubt that given more years, Chen Mu could genuinely cross the threshold into the Seventh Layer Heaven, becoming a Divine Monarch Level being.
Under such circumstances, if there’s an opportunity to eliminate Chen Mu, he naturally won’t allow Chen Mu to continue growing.
However, the gap between the Sixth and Seventh Layer Heavens is as vast as an abyss. Merely advancing from the Sixth Layer Heaven threshold to the peak of the Sixth Layer Heaven requires an exceptionally long time, possibly longer than it takes to cultivate from a weak mortal to the Sixth Layer Heaven threshold. Even after stepping into the Seventh Layer Heaven, reaching its peak still demands eons to gradually accumulate.
Shang Mang Demon Monarch quickly put the matter of Chen Mu aside for the time being. After all, no matter how high Chen Mu’s talent, he had just recently stepped into the Sixth Layer Heaven level, a long way off from someone like him who was at the peak of the Seventh Layer Heaven, so there was no rush.
The situation of Fan Gu Divine Monarch was the top priority.
“Indeed, this time there’s no need for my clan to plan comprehensively. With Jianmu fallen and dead, Chen Mu has a close causality with Jianmu. I suppose those few wouldn’t just stand by and watch him continue to grow.”
Shang Mang Demon Monarch suddenly thought of something else. After a whisper to himself, he turned his head backward, glancing at Man Hui Demon General, who was kneeling in the void not far away, and said nonchalantly: “The Dark Sky Tide is coming, just continue to hold your ground here, no need to worry.”
“Yes.”
Man Hui Demon General lowered his head in response.
When he looked up again, he found that Shang Mang Demon Monarch had already vanished.
He didn’t know much about Shang Mang Demon Monarch’s many schemes and thoughts; he only knew that when Shang Mang Demon Monarch mentioned the coming of the Dark Sky Tide, it most likely meant it was really coming, but he was indeed calm at heart because Shang Mang Demon Monarch had already set his sights here.
With a Demon Monarch present, no matter how raging the Dark Sky Tide, it wouldn’t make much impact.
…
The undercurrents surged wildly at the border of the Fan Gu Space Domain.
Inside the Dark Sky Abyss, continuous drastic changes were also taking place.
Chen Mu knew nothing of all this; he only observed that recently the frequency of Abyss Life emerging from the Dark Sky Abyss had increased significantly, showing clear signs of a small peak, even with a trend towards a Dark Sky Tide situation.
But even so, he still didn’t pay much attention, as he was just one step away from fully understanding the fusion of the Life and Mysteries of All Spirits, and even this last step wasn’t a bottleneck but a natural progression. With the system panel’s effect, he saw a complete fusion of life and all spirits.
It could be said that it was like solving a problem, with the question, answer, and even the process presented clearly before him. What he needed to do was simply to sort and comprehend it thoroughly, turning it into his own ability, being able to completely grasp the essence of Mysteries Fusion regardless of changes in situation and state.
One Boundary Year,
Two Boundary Years,
Three Boundary Years,
…
Finally,
after experiencing a full twenty-seven Boundary Years, Chen Mu, sitting cross-legged in nihility, suddenly opened his eyes!
In his left eye reflected the golden Mysteries of All Spirits, in his right eye the green Life Profound Mystery, and as he casually raised his finger, the tip traced the void, the two kinds of mysterious power swiftly roamed at his fingertip and then perfectly blended as if merging like milk and water, forming a nearly qualitative transformative force!
This was the power of Life and All Spirits obtained after the fusion of the two mysteries!
“This is the fusion of the Essential Mysterious…”
Looking at the radiant beam dancing at his fingertip, Chen Mu finally showed a trace of comfort on his face.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, an unprecedented joy, almost as if he was breaking the shackles of heaven and earth when transcending from mortal body to God Realm, gaining an indescribable sense of freedom!
This feeling was bestowed upon him by the Creation Dao.
At the moment he fully comprehended the fusion of Life and Mysteries of All Spirits, the Creation Dao opened deeper doors for him!
Even though he hadn’t yet practiced the last layer of the Spirit Life Divine Method, nor had his Divine Body undergone another leap of transformation, merely with the Mysteries Fusion and further recognition from the Creation Dao, his capabilities had undergone earth-shaking changes!
Previously, he had already reached the Sixth Layer Heaven Limit, and now, having fully understood the Mysteries Fusion, he undoubtedly stepped forward, and the current Chen Mu, when going all out, could truly shatter the previously unfathomable boundary of the Seventh Layer Heaven!
Shattering the Seventh Layer Heaven,
also meant… now, he had finally stepped into the tier of Divine Monarch!
