Chapter 1110: Chapter 546: Slaying a Ninth-Rank Exotic Beast

[Origin Dao: Creation (Prototype)]

[Experience: 2814 points]

After absorbing the comprehension of the Creation Dao, Chen Mu glanced at the system panel, finding that his Creation Dao experience had already exceeded two thousand seven hundred points, just a small gap from transforming into the Creation Dao.

"Almost there."

Chen Mu took a slight breath, his eyes gleaming with a touch of light.

This journey to the Source Land reaped far more than he had initially anticipated. He originally expected to obtain a rare item from the Creation Dao, helping him comprehend the Creation Entering Dao within ten years.

As it turned out, he obtained far more than just one item from the Creation Dao. He collected various materials in abundance, and even progressed immensely in the Creation Dao itself, drawing him closer to entering Dao.

Now that entering the Creation Dao is within reach, Chen Mu naturally would not waste time.

Whoosh.

His figure flickered, and he vanished into the void once more, fleeing in a distant direction.

As he crossed the void, his senses fully expanded, perceiving void fluctuations within thousands of yards around him in the state of nothingness. Whenever he sensed an exotic beast, he immediately changed direction. Seventh Rank Mutant Beasts were easily extinguished with a finger flick, while Eighth Rank Mutant Beasts were easily annihilated except for those belonging to the Creation Lineage with abundant life force that required some effort.

Thus, after advancing several thousand miles into the depths of the Source Heart Continent, Chen Mu finally encountered a formidable opponent.

A Creation Ninth Rank Mutant Beast!

"Roar."

The roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, as a mutant beast with a golden black body, about more than ten yards in size, soared through the sky, its claws tearing through the air and launching a fierce strike toward Chen Mu.

Facing this strike, Chen Mu’s expression remained unchanged. He stood with hands behind his back, a slight thought causing his entire body to fade quietly, merging into the invisible void before the giant claw landed.

Boom!!!

The giant claw of the mutant beast struck nothing, yet its overwhelming force still fiercely bombarded the void, engulfing a region hundreds of yards in radius, finally causing the entire ground to erupt with a booming sound.

"Interesting."

This claw settled, causing an invisible muffled hum in the void, followed by a human face emerging from the nothingness tens of yards away, looking at the Creation Mutant Beast, with a glint of light flashing in its eyes.

This Creation Ninth Rank Mutant Beast, indeed possessed unmatched power in one move. While he merged with the void, dispersing ninety-nine percent of the power into the void, the remaining bit went through the void, falling on him, still containing some power, weakening his life force by about one thousandth.

In other words.

Relying solely on the state of nothingness, completely ignoring the mutant beast’s attack was still insufficient.

Of course, the main issue remained that he has not truly entered the God Realm yet, nor has he cultivated the true divine realm body. Despite the Immortal Body being strong, the so-called ’immortal’ is relative to the means below the Origin Dao and the God Realm.

Just as in the Da Xuan World, cultivating the Immortal Body means joint attacks from all martial artists in the world could not damage his skin. Even if they barely cause some injury, it is far surpassed by his recovery speed.

But this Immortal Body, when faced with the Power of Origin Dao, cannot truly be considered ’immortal’.

This strike from the Creation Mutant Beast erased nearly one thousandth of his life force, a kind of annihilation from the root, a power controlling ’life and death’. This erasure even left some residual ’Power of Death’ on him, preventing rapid recovery of vitality until he extinguished this death power.

However, Chen Mu now grasped the power of the Creation Dao, making extinguishing this death force not difficult. He endured the mutant beast’s strike in the state of nothingness merely to feel its power.

"Roar."

The Creation Mutant Beast let out a low roar, its pair of immense scarlet eyes suddenly looking toward Chen Mu, raising its claw again for another strike!

Despite Chen Mu being merged with the void and in the state of nothingness, making it impossible to detect his presence or location using normal means, the Creation Mutant Beast could still achieve this due to its special ’sensing’ technique in the Creation Dao—control over life and death!

It was able to directly capture where Chen Mu’s vitality existed!

However.

This time its attack did not land.

From within the nothingness came a surging force, where Void Force mixed with Time and Creation Power, forming a giant fist to meet the Creation Mutant Beast’s attack, the fist and claw crashing in the void.

Boom!!

Accompanied by a deafening boom.

After a brief stalemate of immense forces, the Creation Mutant Beast let out a low growl, its claw trembling and ultimately flipping back, its massive body staggered two steps back—repelled by Chen Mu directly!

"Creation Mutant Beast, indeed worth killing."

Chen Mu’s form emerged from the nothingness, gazing at the mutant beast before him, with a trace of mystic light flashing in his eyes.

This was the second Divine Under Ninth Rank Mutant Beast he encountered; the first he faced was a Void Exotic Beast. Although considering combat strength and destructive power, both beasts belonged to the ninth rank with little difference, the Void Exotic Beast was undeniably more difficult to deal with than the Creation Exotic Beast when dealt with in practice.
