Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1101: Chapter 541: Creation Primordial Form (2)

In the midst of brilliance.

A small white crystal the size of a fingertip and a dazzling light sphere quickly emerged, floating in mid-air, while everything else dissipated completely, leaving no trace of the scattered blood.

In the void, Chen Mu’s figure reappeared, standing collectedly, and lightly shook his head while looking at the spot where the silver exotic beast perished.

“Born under the life branch of the Creation Dao, the exotic beast is indeed tenacious. My move, augmenting with the Power of Time, has completely reached the level of Divine Under Ninth Rank, yet it still takes three moves to completely slay it.”

He maneuvers the Void Divine Weapon, deploying pure methods of the Void Dao, reaching the peak of Divine Under Eighth Rank. Adding just a bit of Power of Time naturally attains the degree of Ninth Rank.

Yet, regarding killing power, the ‘Silent Annihilation’ performed through the complete fusion of Void Years and Time is stronger.

If it were that move Silent Annihilation, eliminating this exotic beast evidently wouldn’t need three moves, likely just one strike to do away with it entirely!

Chen Mu put away his divine weapon and walked forward.

He first reached out to pick up the Primordial Fragment left behind by the death of the silver exotic beast, examined it briefly, then nodded slightly.

“The Primordial Fragment left by the death of a Divine Under Eighth Rank exotic beast is noticeably larger than that of a Divine Under Seventh Rank exotic beast.”

He flipped his hand.

Taking out another piece of Primordial Fragment.

This is the complete fragment formed by the fusion of fragments left behind by the death of ten Seventh Rank exotic beasts he had slain days prior.

One can easily discern that the fragment formed from the fusion of ten fragments of Seventh Rank exotic beasts is still inferior to the Primordial Fragment left by the death of the Eighth Rank exotic beast.

Chen Mu was not surprised.

After all, the difficulty of killing an Eighth Rank exotic beast indeed isn’t comparable to slaying those of Seventh Rank, the latter of which he could nearly eliminate with a flip of the hand, while the former necessitated utilizing the Power of the Time Dao.

Gulp!

Chen Mu approached the two Primordial Fragments closely, causing them to touch slightly and immediately flow together, merging into a larger piece, roughly thumb-sized.

Chen Mu was uncertain how many more Primordial Fragments would be needed to forge a complete Primordial Crystal, but evidently what he had gathered thus far was far from enough.

However, Chen Mu was not in a rush.

He had only been in the Source Land Core for three days, and there was plenty of time ahead.

Storing away the Primordial Fragment, Chen Mu turned his gaze to the other side, where a dazzling light sphere floated in the air, its black-and-white hues resembling a Yin Yang Taiji diagram.

“Life and Death…”

Chen Mu knew that the light sphere contained not the Path of Yin and Yang, but the branch of life and death within the Creation Dao.

Without much hesitation, he reached toward the light sphere, and at the moment his fingertip touched the sphere, it instantly exploded with radiant black-and-white brilliance, enveloping him entirely.

Life, Death.

Two mystical aspects constantly intertwined and evolved, presented in Chen Mu’s sight, his entire being seemed immersed in the mysteries of these branches of creation, within arm’s reach.

The mysteries of life and death enthralled Chen Mu, yet just moments passed before everything dissipated in its entirety.

Chen Mu opened his eyes once more, standing where he was, and the black-and-white light sphere had disappeared entirely.

“The Mystical Origin Dao left by the death of an Eighth Rank exotic beast is indeed far deeper than that of a Seventh Rank exotic beast.”

Chen Mu muttered to himself.

He had killed ten Divine Under Seventh Rank exotic beasts previously, from which he also experienced the Mystical Essence of the Origin Dao repeatedly, but the profundity left by Seventh Rank exotic beasts was akin to fishing for the moon in water, visible yet seemingly out of reach.

The Mystical Origin left by the death of an Eighth Rank exotic beast felt different, as if it was within easy reach, enhancing Chen Mu’s understanding of the Creation Dao profoundly.

He summoned the system panel.

[Origin Dao: Creation (uncomprehended)]

[Experience: 1117 points]

“So much?”

Glancing at the change in Experience Points on the system panel, Chen Mu revealed a hint of surprise.

Earlier, among the ten Divine Under Seventh Rank exotic beasts he slew, two belonged to the Creation Dao, but the experience points of the Creation Dao they provided were not substantial. Yet, the enlightenment left by this Eighth Rank exotic beast increased his experience points by over a hundred, surpassing the thousand-point threshold!

Fixing his gaze on the experience part, Chen Mu’s eyes flashed with a touch of contemplation.

Breaking through a thousand experience points in the Creation Dao meant he could comprehend its prototype at any time.

After some thought.

Chen Mu ultimately made a decision, his form silently vanished from the original spot, merging into the void and continually descending, reaching the depth of nearly a hundred fathoms underground.

Leveraging the system panel to comprehend the Origin Dao, Chen Mu already possessed ample experience, whether condensing its prototype or truly entering the Dao, it took but an instant, and thus naturally there was no need to delay, sufficient experience allowed direct enhancement despite being at the Source Land Core presently.

The sole aspect to consider regarding comprehending the Origin Dao prototype is the system panel’s direct infusion of substantial inspiration and experience, causing a brief lapse of awareness, but this process is exceptionally brief, nearly negligible.

Swoosh!

After reaching a depth of a hundred fathoms below ground, Chen Mu raised his left hand, wielded the Void Broken Sword, stabbing below himself, triggering a surge of Void Force that enveloped the area where he stood.

Following this, he flipped his right hand again, a flickering flame appeared—a Fire of Time he possessed, dancing above his head, radiating a luminous rainbow light. It covered the region enveloped by the outer layer of Void Force with another layer of the Power of Time.

Though using the system panel to comprehend the Origin Dao prototype entails no delay, and the brief lapse of awareness is almost negligible, Chen Mu prudently set up two layers of defenses, with the Power of Time and Void Force converging, activated through the Void Broken Sword and the Fire of Time. Even if a Divine Under Ninth Rank exotic beast suddenly emerged, it wouldn’t be able to break through immediately.

Having made these preparations, Chen Mu once again summoned the system panel.

[Origin Dao: Creation (uncomprehended)]

[Experience: 1117 points]

This time, without any hesitation, he immediately chose to enhance it.

Buzz!!!

With a flash of light.

An abundance of comprehension regarding the Creation Dao flooded in.

Now, Chen Mu had already achieved a certain understanding of the Creation Dao, touching upon the techniques of the Demon Clan, on the Dao of Life and Death, on the invisible and intangible, on all transformations, yet this understanding was quite fragmented, unable to coalesce, unable to form a unified comprehension of the Creation Dao.

But now, as the system panel provided vast insights into the Creation Dao into his mind, Chen Mu seemingly experienced hundreds or even thousands of years in an instant, organizing all the innumerable mystical intricacies related to creation he had sensed thus far.

It was like disordered mud and stones, gradually kneaded together, cast into uniform bricks and tiles, then slowly constructing into a complete though simple pavilion, enough in completeness.

Swoosh!

Chen Mu suddenly opened his eyes.

His left hand raised slightly, right hand pressed downward, two hands joining in front, condensing a vivid rainbow-colored brilliance, within which Qiankun Power, Chaotic Origin Power, Power of Life and Death… all intertwined, ultimately forming another source of Origin Dao power, Creation Power!

[Origin Dao: Creation (prototype)]

[Experience: 117 points]

The data on the system panel also changed at this moment.

“When heaven and earth serve as the grand furnace, creation as the grand smelter, where then couldn’t one travel?”

Chen Mu did not look at the system panel but felt the insights he acquired just now intently, suddenly raising his right hand, revealing a flow of water, which soon transformed into Blazing Flames, then into Wind and Thunder… After various manifestations of Qiankun Phase transformation, it suddenly shifted into the black-and-white Power of Life and Death, then upon silent annihilation, condensed into a mass of black air!

This black air was known to many martial artists of the Da Xuan World, being Demonic Qi!

Buzz!!

As this Demonic Qi surfaced, it immediately enveloped Chen Mu entirely, making him a figure of demonic vapor, nearly identical to the form of a Heavenly Demon!

At this moment, he even resembled a True Demon!

Having practiced the creation Dao prototype, Chen Mu had initially possessed All Transformations, the power he could evolve now wasn’t limited to the heavens and earth, Qiankun, Chaotic Origin Life and Death, even the Demonic ‘Qi’ from the Demon Clan could still be simulated here!
