Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1316 - 638: Pursuit and Assassination (Part 2)
Chapter 1316: Chapter 638: Pursuit and Assassination (Part 2)
In the end, his personal attack on Chen Mu was solely due to the possibility that Chen Mu might become a slight nuisance in the future, and he wanted to eliminate that possibility casually. However, he was obstructed by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, or else Chen Mu and that world would have long turned to dust.
Yet even then, he did not consider Chen Mu to be much of a threat.
Chen Mu’s talent was certainly high, and his foundation was deep, but no matter how deep the foundation or great the talent, they needed time to grow. Who could have imagined that Chen Mu would achieve such an astonishing feat, reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven in just over 20,000 Boundary Years!
“Supreme Divine Monarch reincarnation?”
At this moment, Shang Mang Demon Lord felt inexplicably agitated.
It was merely an attempt to probe the true and false of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch. He only intended to casually obliterate an ant; how did it provoke such a figure? Perhaps this is the tribulation the Vast Universe arranged for him?!
How rare is a Supreme Divine Monarch, and how few are the reincarnated Supreme Divine Monarchs? To stumble upon one and even form a great causal vengeance with them was surely the Vast Universe playing a big joke on him!
Even though he was not the only one to form a grudge with Chen Mu, and even the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Monarch, two Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch Overlords, were hunting Chen Mu jointly, if they couldn’t truly kill Chen Mu, it would be difficult to prevent him from regaining his Realm.
He was an ancient Divine Monarch at the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak.
Even if Chen Mu’s strength reached the level of the Demon Ancestor or the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, advancing to the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, it wouldn’t be so easy to kill him completely, for the Demon Clan was still a significant force governing a Space Domain.
But what if Chen Mu took another step forward?
If Chen Mu was indeed the reincarnation of a Supreme Divine Monarch, then in the future, there would be a great possibility of reaching the Nine Layer Heavens!
Nine Layer Heavens!
That would be an entirely different level, the utmost under a Dao Venerable, having reached the end of the Immortal Road; even the entire Demon Clan today would be utterly powerless against a Nine Layer Heaven Supreme Divine Monarch!
At the Eighth Layer Heaven, the Demon Clan could still resist somewhat, but the presence at the Nine Layer Heavens could annihilate the entire Demon Clan with ease!
“If I had known earlier, even facing the Combat Power Avatar of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, I should have killed this person.”
Shang Mang Demon Lord felt a tinge of regret in his heart.
Back then, when he ventured into the Fan Gu Ancient Domain and attacked Chen Mu, he was thwarted by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch and immediately withdrew. Yet, at that time, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch was merely a Combat Power Avatar, unleashing some hidden cards to burst out with Eighth Layer Heaven power. Even under the pressure, he had the chance to destroy the Da Xuan World and Chen Mu.
Even if it meant paying a great price, causing the fall of his Divine Power True Body, it seems now it would have been worth it, for the threat that Chen Mu now poses is evidently too great!
But fate is unchangeable, time cannot reverse.
Now, even if he wanted to sacrifice his Divine Power True Body to kill Chen Mu, it was no longer possible. Even as the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Monarch pursued Chen Mu jointly, he found it difficult to intervene.
“Let’s go.”
“He has entered the Eighth Layer Heaven; we can no longer interfere and can only wait for news from Brother Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor.”
Feng Mao Divine Monarch’s expression fluctuated before he spoke slowly to Ya Xie, Cang Shu, and others.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind.
If Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor could take down Chen Mu’s Divine Power True Body, they would continue to join forces with Ya Xie and others against the Fan Gu Divine Monarch until they completely seized the Fan Gu Ancient Domain and extinguished Chen Mu.
But if Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor ultimately failed to capture Chen Mu, then he would have to consider an escape route.
Such a vast Universe, even a Supreme Divine Monarch would find it difficult to know its limits, as long as he could sever all causal networks, hide all traces, and retreat into the depths of the vast Space Domain; even if Chen Mu ascended to the Nine Layer Heavens in the future, he might not be able to find him.
If he can kill, then kill; if not, then retreat, and if a retreat is impossible, then hide away. At least for now, Chen Mu is not such a significant threat, even if he is a Supreme Divine Monarch reincarnation, he couldn’t possibly ascend to the Nine Layer Heavens overnight, he still has time to find an escape route.
Shua!
After exchanging glances, Ya Xie Divine Monarch and the others had fluctuating expressions before Cang Shu Divine Monarch’s figure flickered, disappearing from the spot first. Subsequently, Ya Xie, Feng Mao, and others also vanished immediately.
In the end, Shang Mang Demon Lord cast a gloomy glance toward the depths of the Void, then transformed into a wisp of black mist and disappeared.
It was only after the many Divine Monarchs left,
for a long time,
that slight movements appeared again in the distant Nihility, as some God Realm beings of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, having detected the previous massive clash disturbances, finally dared to cautiously approach.
Leading these was none other than Hong Lin; she gazed at the now stable Void with an exceedingly grave expression: “Divine Monarchs fought, and not just one; were they here for him? Did the Demon Clan finally make their move?”
She had no idea which Divine Monarchs had made a move.
But she knew that a battle beyond the level of Divine Monarchs had just occurred here, and the fight was extremely fierce, causing the Void for millions of miles to quake. Even at the edge of the Void River, one could likely feel the terrifying commotion.
She guessed it was most likely the Demon Clan and some Divine Monarchs, and their target was likely Chen Mu, but this was a battle at the Divine Monarch level; she had no qualifications to intervene, wouldn’t even dare approach. After all, the collision of Divine Monarchs, even just the aftermath, could be extremely dangerous for her, a strand of leftover could annihilate her Divine Power True Body!
“Divine Monarch Mu encountered an attack here, I wonder how Master is doing over there…”
Hong Lin frowned deeply.
She also wanted to find Chen Mu to inquire about the situation, but quickly shook her head slightly, for she was not a Divine Monarch, and knowing would be of no significance; the battle above Divine Monarch was not something she could partake in.
Gazing at the now calm Void River, Hong Lin tightly gripped the Boundary Stabilization Primordial Pearl, knowing that the Fan Gu Ancient Domain remained full of dangers, and to truly contribute, she had to break through that layer of bottleneck, comprehend Mystical Fusion, and truly enter the realm of Divine Monarch like Tai Chen.
…
Deep in the Void.
This is the Eighth Layer Void, being a deeply entrenched part of the Void, where the Void Force here is a complete intertwining of various Mystical powers, and the terrifying Void Force pervades this place; even beings at the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak would inevitably be engulfed once they fell into this layer and soon have their Divine Power True Body obliterated.
It was in this silent and oppressive Void deep, that a beam of white flowing light swept rapidly through the Nihility.
Behind,
a smear of pitch-black shadow and several entwined silver threads relentlessly pursued.
“…”
Within the white flowing light, Chen Mu held the Heavenly Mirror, his expression quite calm, having determined that the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Monarch, in the depths of this Eighth Layer Void, were unlikely to catch up with him.
In reality, for someone like him, who barely broke through the Eighth Layer Heaven threshold, moving freely through the Eighth Layer Void would be incredibly difficult. But coincidentally, the lineage he mastered most profoundly was the Void Lineage!
Furthermore, holding the Heavenly Mirror, an Upper Divine Weapon of the Void Lineage, made him extraordinarily suited to navigating the Void depths, minimizing the pressures there. Thus, even though he barely broke through the Eighth Layer Heaven, he could roam freely here.
The Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Monarch were both Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch Overlords, possessing more than just these means. Seeing that they couldn’t catch up to Chen Mu in this layer of the Void, they each unleashed some bizarre killing moves!
Whoosh.
As he fled, Chen Mu suddenly sensed a foreboding in his heart, then felt a chilling killing intent manifest abruptly, without source or direction, but bursting peculiarly from within him, erupting from inside out!
A means of attack that could ignore spatial scales and explode directly must naturally be based on Causality.
“Power of Causality, is it.”
However, Chen Mu remained unflustered, merely snorting coldly, his body’s rich and immense divine power suddenly shuddering, forcefully crushing the force of the Causality Killing Move emanating from within him.
Like any art, Causality techniques are not used freely, having limitations. He and the Demon Ancestor shared no strong causal ties, even if the Demon Ancestor wielded the fusion of Mystical powers in Life, Causality, and All Forms, the attack teleported through Causality would not reach a significant potency, certainly not at the Eighth Layer Heaven standard, hence posing no substantial threat to him.
