Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1336 - 647: City Defense (Part 2)

Chapter 1336: Chapter 647: City Defense (Part 2)

Yet just as his words fell, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and a figure silently emerged at the top of the tower.

Everyone’s movements paused momentarily as they turned to look, seeing a person in simple attire, not tall in stature, but possessing a seemingly profound divine power that exuded a slight sense of oppression, while the aura felt completely unfamiliar.

Seeing that the newcomer was utterly unfamiliar, Lv He Divine Monarch and the others remained silent, carefully observing the person. Thoughts flashed through their minds, and they quickly guessed the newcomer’s identity.

“Chen Mu, at your service.”

Chen Mu’s gaze swept over the many Divine Monarchs present, and he spoke proactively with a calm tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone confirmed their guess about his identity.

That Divine Monarch who recently joined the Flame Sun Association… Mu Shenjun!

Although the Flame Sun Association has thousands of Divine Monarchs, whenever a new one joins, most parties will have at least some understanding, not to mention Chen Mu, who is not just any ordinary Divine Monarch but an Overlord of the Eighth Layer Heaven!

There are thousands of Divine Monarchs in the Flame Sun Association, but only several dozen to nearly a hundred have reached the Eighth Layer Heaven.

Though according to rumors, Chen Mu isn’t like Jingtian who has mastered the Three Mysterious Fusion of the Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch, but instead broke through the Eighth Heaven threshold relying on profoundly deep reserves and a robust divine power foundation, making him slightly weaker compared to someone like Jingtian. Nonetheless, achieving the breakthrough means a qualitative change in strength.

“Mu Shenjun.”

Lv He and others promptly responded to Chen Mu.

Jingtian Divine Monarch, who was gazing out the city towards the vast crimson Molten Lava Cave, also retracted his look, slightly surprised, and turned towards Chen Mu, saying: “I’ve heard there’s a new comrade in the Flame Sun Association. Didn’t expect to meet so soon. I was planning to invite Mu Shenjun for a small gathering at my Cave Mansion after the matters at hand.”

As a Dominator of the Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch, he was slightly arrogant towards Lv He and others but treated Chen Mu, who reached the same level, as an equal.

However, to his knowledge, Chen Mu seemed to have reached the Eighth Layer Heaven through accumulation and foundation, without truly comprehending the Three Mysterious Fusion, being somewhat different from someone like him.

Perhaps, after considerable time, Chen Mu could comprehend the Three Mysterious Fusion, significantly advancing his strength, possibly even nearing the Eighth Layer Heaven peak, surpassing him further.

Nonetheless, like most Seventh Layer Heaven Divine Monarchs, he might be stuck at the gate of Three Mysterious Fusion, unable to advance.

In any case,

Chen Mu’s strength has reached the Eighth Layer Heaven sufficient for his acknowledgment.

“Jingtian Divine Monarch.”

Recognizing Jingtian Divine Monarch’s identity, Chen Mu, considering he is an Overlord of the Eighth Layer Heaven, had already learned about many Divine Monarchs within the Flame Sun Association from Fan Gu Divine Monarch and Peng Yi beforehand.

Chen Mu slightly nodded towards him, saying: “As I initially entered the Abyss of Eternity, I was not accustomed to the environment here, thus spent some time in seclusion to secretly understand the situation here.”

Jingtian Divine Monarch nodded, responding: “When I first fell into the Abyss of Eternity, I was disoriented, wandering alone in the Molten Lava Cave for a long time, only finding stability after joining the Flame Sun Association… Though I’ve been in the Abyss of Eternity for several hundred tribulations, not exploring much, I still understand quite a bit about this place. If Mu Shenjun wishes to inquire about anything, I’d be happy to assist.”

“Thank you, Jingtian Divine Monarch.”

Chen Mu replied.

Even though in terms of strength, Jingtian Divine Monarch is inferior to Fan Gu Divine Monarch, Jingtian has been in the Abyss of Eternity for hundreds of tribulations. Even if he rarely explores outside, his understanding of this place is deep, possibly knowing secrets even Fan Gu doesn’t know. Coupled with his politeness, Chen Mu naturally responded in kind.

A moment later.

No one else appeared.

Jingtian Divine Monarch finally withdrew his gaze and said: “Alright, for this occasion we are stationed here, let’s briefly discuss the city defense matters first.”

Lv He and others promptly agreed, while Chen Mu stood by quietly observing.

The city defense matters didn’t require detailed discussion, only roughly how to respond should an Abyss Beast attack. Those gathered here are Divine Monarchs, only a dozen people, and regardless of how they act, it wouldn’t cause much confusion. The so-called city defense matters were mainly about discussing each other’s techniques to avoid interference when they act since affinities might not align.

As expected, among the dozen Divine Monarchs, only Chen Mu belonged to the Void Lineage, while the rest, including Jingtian Divine Monarch, primarily followed the Creation Lineage, with none from the Time Lineage.

This couldn’t help but make Chen Mu silently acknowledge that the Time Lineage is indeed the rarest and most challenging.

It’s much more evident in the Abyss of Eternity.

The Abyss has nearly no resources to acquire, nor many wonders for comprehension. To grasp the Great Dao, one must either meditate in cultivation or converse with other Divine Monarchs of the same lineage.

The Creation Lineage Divine Monarchs, being numerous, can engage in mutual discussions and gain insights more easily, whereas the Void Lineage has far fewer members, and the Time Lineage is even more scarce!

In the entire Flame Sun Association, out of several dozen to nearly a hundred Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarchs, only one is from the Time Lineage.

Chen Mu, though, only sighed inwardly at this, as it currently didn’t affect him much. Even though Void Lineage Divine Monarchs are rare, his cultivation path doesn’t need sparring validation yet.

Currently,

after tens of thousands of Boundary Years’ accumulation, his experience in Three Mysterious Fusion of the Void Lineage has nearly reached completion. He only lacked a slight final touch to witness the essence of Three Mysterious Fusion through the system panel and directly reach the root of it!

…

In the desolate, vast, crimson rock cave sky.

A seemingly small and unnoticed city is slowly floating by.

Looking below, the rock cave ground is full of rugged rock layers and numerous dark rock caves leading to unknown places, their insides interconnected, linking throughout the underground rock layers.

The city flying in the sky is naturally Molten Fire City. Although it appears small, it actually possesses Void Techniques, converging its massive body within the void structure to a very small point.

However,

even so, the slowly flying Molten Fire City cannot fully conceal all sound and presence.

Or rather, the various Abyss Beasts born within the Abyss of Eternity are bizarre, with diverse ways of detection. Even if aura is converged to the extreme from the Void and Creation levels, these Abyss Beasts still have means to capture traces.

Research on Abyss Beasts has been attempted by almost all Divine Monarchs, but the results were always fruitless. The composition of Abyss Beasts is nearly identical to the rock layers, all formed by the fusion of different Mystical Powers of different Great Daos, beyond the realm Divine Monarchs could attempt to comprehend.

Looking from the ground up.

There isn’t a Heavens Vault above, the distant end also presents rugged rock layers, naturally leading to a higher layer Molten Lava Cave. Through its surface openings, there’s a chance to find a passage leading to the upper layer.

Molten Fire City is currently flying in the middle position between these two layers of Molten Lava Cave, trying to stay centered, avoiding contact with either side.

Even so,

during the slow flight, situations keep arising.

Directly below Molten Fire City, at a rugged rock cave, as the city passed overhead, a tentacle-like mysterious black shadow silently extended from the cave. This black shadow slightly swayed as Molten Fire City flew past, evidently sensing the city’s presence, seemingly observing something.

As Molten Fire City gradually departed, the black shadow finally moved, emitting a ’hiss’ as it left the rock cave, merging into the void, rapidly pursuing the city.

Moments later,

It approached Molten Fire City, directly colliding with the city’s outer Void Barrier!

Almost simultaneously, within Molten Fire City, atop the high tower on the city wall, Jingtian, Lv He, and Chen Mu among many Divine Monarchs, opened their eyes, looking outward in unison.
