Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1325 - 642: Trapped (Part 2)

Chapter 1325: Chapter 642: Trapped (Part 2)
Deep within.
“You also entered the Abyss of Eternity?”
Upon hearing Chen Mu’s words, Fan Gu Divine Monarch was momentarily stunned before revealing a slight bitter smile and said: “I was originally exploring a perilous area when I encountered a crisis. At that time, the void collapsed, and I was unable to retreat, thus I was swept in. Never did I expect you would also fall in… Ming Fan and Mo Ang likely didn’t expect to fall into the Abyss of Eternity together with you either.”
Chen Mu, with a calm expression, said: “Since I’m here, I might as well settle in. Aside from being difficult to escape, the Abyss of Eternity isn’t much, and dragging Ming Fan and Mo Ang down with me might give me some peace.”
“Indeed.”
Fan Gu Divine Monarch slightly nodded. To Chen Mu’s circumstances, being hunted and entangled by Ming Fan and Mo Ang was not much different from falling into the Abyss of Eternity.
At least, unlike others, Chen Mu, being a Realm Master, possessed an Interface Avatar as a ’second true self’, so the cost of falling into the Abyss of Eternity was far less than that of the average Divine Monarch. If necessary, he could opt to escape by self-destruction.
Moreover, Chen Mu’s talent was extraordinary; he might even be a reincarnation of the Nine Layer Heavens. If Chen Mu could continue to cultivate in the Abyss of Eternity and return to the Nine Layer Heavens, he would also have a chance to escape!
With this thought,
Fan Gu Divine Monarch immediately asked: “Which area are you in? Although the dangers within the Abyss of Eternity don’t affect the outside world, if your Divine Power True Body were to fall here, it would still significantly impact you. If you and I are nearby, we could meet up quickly.”
“The information is too sparse; I do not know yet, and I still need to explore a bit.”
Upon hearing Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s words, Chen Mu shook his head slightly and said.
The Abyss of Eternity, just from its name, one can tell it’s nearly boundless, with no known end, like a bottomless chasm, and no one has yet known how deep it truly is.
Even so, due to the Abyss of Eternity permeating the vast universe, the number of Divine Monarchs who have fallen here by various means can’t be counted, forming an immense ’cultivator camp’.
Generally speaking,
just after falling into the Abyss of Eternity, one wouldn’t fall into a very deep spot, typically landing in a rather shallow layer, which is where a large number of cultivator gathering places exist, where many Divine Monarchs join forces to confront the various dangers in the Abyss of Eternity.
Since the Abyss of Eternity produces almost no resources, only abyss beasts and various perils, conflicts among Divine Monarchs here are rare, forming an extremely unified front. Even those with deep-seated enmities in the outside world often set aside their differences and temporarily unite here.
After all, in-fighting among Divine Monarchs here yields no benefits nor resources.
Everyone here shares two common goals: one is survival, and the other is escape; however, escaping can be exceedingly difficult, near impossible for anyone below a supreme Divine Monarch of the Nine Layer Heavens, making survival the foremost priority for most Divine Monarchs.
Meanwhile,
within the Abyss of Eternity, Chen Mu cautiously surveyed the surrounding environment, assessing his position.
“The Abyss of Eternity, even its shallow layer, is immensely vast and boundless.”
The Fan Gu Palace had originally gathered a wealth of information on the Abyss of Eternity. At this time, Chen Mu made a point to gather more intelligence from Fan Gu Divine Monarch about the Abyss, significantly expanding his understanding of it.
In the shallow layer, the Abyss is divided into billions of regions, distinguished in unique ways. Essentially, each region is a separate layer, and the expanse of each layer is also unfathomably vast.
To ascend to the upper layer or descend to a lower one, only a handful of passages exist.
Chen Mu is currently trying to determine which layer he’s in; if not far from where Fan Gu Divine Monarch is, they could indeed attempt to converge soon.
As he knows, Fan Gu Divine Monarch has currently joined a faction, being a Divine Monarch Dominator at the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, making him an influential figure in that faction. In such a unique environment, Chen Mu would not mind joining a faction, given the endless emergence of abyss beasts in the Abyss, being alone would be excessively taxing, constantly requiring vigilance, undoubtedly diverting a great deal of his heart power, and there’s a risk of encountering challenging situations.
Plop.
Chen Mu advanced slowly inside the crimson rock cave.
This rock cave, though expansive, was still considered spacious; even in the narrowest spots, it had a radius of several hundred feet. But for Divine Monarch beings, this scale was undoubtedly extremely confined.
At this moment, while observing the environment and discerning his location, Chen Mu was also researching the Abyss’s environment, being profoundly curious about it. He approached the brink of a rock wall, squinting to investigate carefully.
It seemed like a rock wall but had no connection to rock whatsoever. Getting close, one could sense that the crimson ’strata’ was purely an amalgamation of Great Dao power.
This construct,
Chen Mu found entirely incomprehensible.
As a Divine Monarch being, he understood there were numerous Mystical aspects in the Origin Dao, facets capable of inter-fusion, but his knowledge was limited to Mystical fusion within the same lineage.
He could understand the fusion of the five Mystics within the Void Lineage, and even though he had not yet mastered Three Profound Mysterious Fusion or Four Mysterious Fusion, he could explore some of their intricacies with careful study.
But the Abyss of Eternity was different.
This seemingly ordinary ’stratum’ held not only the Mystical aspects of the Creation Lineage but also those of the Void Lineage, and even the Time Lineage—practically everything!
The Mystical aspects of different Great Daos still fused together in an incomprehensible way, far beyond the level that God Realm could understand, and even a supreme Divine Monarch of the Nine Layer Heavens could not achieve inter-fusion of Mystical aspects from different Great Daos!
“These strata…”
Chen Mu murmured softly.
Unable to grasp the construct of these strata, after pondering briefly, he extended his right hand, flicking a finger forward.
Buzz!!
A glimmer spread from his fingertip, bursting onto the strata.
This strike was not his full power move but almost reached the limit of the Seventh Layer Heaven.
However, the result was unsurprising.
This strike, with power reaching the Seventh Heaven’s limit, left not even a mark on the strata. Clearly wanting to break through the strata was entirely unrealistic, and in his view, even if the power of the Nine Layer Heavens struck it, causing significant damage would still be unlikely.
“No wonder escaping from here is exceedingly hard, almost impossible for anyone below a supreme Divine Monarch of the Nine Layer Heavens; even they require enormous effort to break out. Below the Nine Layer Heavens, it’s indeed impossible.”
Chen Mu regarded the strata’s strength with a somewhat serious gaze.
Fan Gu Divine Monarch had been in the Abyss of Eternity for a long time, his understanding of it surpassed Chen Mu’s substantially, having continuously explored ways of escaping, and according to Fan Gu Divine Monarch, resorting to brute force to break through the strata here or the spatial structure here to escape was fundamentally impossible, even for Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs.
To escape, one must venture into the deeper parts of the Abyss of Eternity, finding very special places or vulnerable regions, then using the power of the Nine Layer Heavens to break through, that might shatter it and enable an escape.
Yet this is limited to the Nine Layer Heavens.
Anyone below the Ninth Layer, even those at the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, daring to venture alone into the depths of the Abyss of Eternity is almost akin to seeking death. Moreover, even if a weak point is found, it is likely unmovable, serving no purpose.
