Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1115: Chapter 548: Breathing State (Part 2)

As Chen Mu’s thoughts stirred, a surge of Creation Power surged forth, filling his entire body, immediately bringing him into a very peculiar state.

His corporeal form seemed unchanged; unlike the Void State, he didn’t directly merge with the void, nor did he enter the special state of ’Time Acceleration’ like the Ethereal State. At this moment, he appeared no different than before, and his aura hadn’t intensified much.

Yet Chen Mu was well aware; he had entered the Creation Dao Entering Dao Form—Breathing State, corresponding to the Void Dao State of Nothingness and the Time Dao Ethereal State!

Creation of all things, life ever-constant!

In this state, his body was entirely covered by Creation Power, with life and death energies within him significantly increased.

At this moment.

If his body were to endure an attack and his vitality damaged, that damaged part would quickly transform into the ’Power of Death,’ which he could use to unleash an explosive strike power, while simultaneously his body would naturally absorb Creation Power, converting it to vitality to rapidly replenish the damaged life force.

Although his Immortal Body inherently possesses extremely strong self-healing abilities, even if his body is shattered, reduced to flesh, it can reorganize itself, avoiding death, yet it ultimately consumes a part of his ’Life Force.’

But this Formless State can continuously replenish Life Force!

That is to say.

To kill Chen Mu now would require an extremely powerful strike that obliterates him completely, evaporating every drop of his blood into ash, leaving no time for life force recovery, or similar to his previous hunt of a Creation Ninth Rank Mutant Beast, with relentless attacks ensuring his regeneration can’t keep pace with the damage, ultimately erasing his power completely.

Alternatively, measures targeting the soul heart could directly assault the soul heart, extinguishing Chen Mu’s consciousness.

Aside from these, killing Chen Mu now is nearly impossible, as long as the speed of damage doesn’t surpass his self-recovery speed, his life force will be unceasing.

"This Creation Dao, though the easiest to comprehend among the three great origin daos, its power indeed is not inferior to Void and Time. Once Origin Dao power is practiced to a certain level, it becomes increasingly formidable."

Chen Mu felt the power of the Creation Enter Dao Breathing State, and for a moment, couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Void State, body merged with the void, using the void to bear attacks, can deflect over ninety percent of any assault.

Ethereal State, time surrounds the body, putting oneself in a state of time acceleration, where everything is faster than others by several times or even tenfold, though it doesn’t have the defense of Void State nor the recovery of Breathing State, in some sense it can be seen as having maxed out ’evasion’, allowing ease in advancing and retreating against opponents of the same level.

Breathing State, life ever constant, one’s own life force is inexhaustible, once harmed, the body naturally absorbs energy to convert into vitality to mend itself; this energy of recovery is drawn from the Creation Dao, and as Chen Mu realizes, creation is everywhere, all things in the world are creation, hence it never ceases.

If it comes down to endurance, Void State and Ethereal State may not last against Breathing State.

However, Void State and Ethereal State each have their own strengths; Void State has extremely strong defense and can hide in the void and move within it, while Ethereal State is extremely fast, often getting the first hand in treasure snatching and quickly fleeing, facing danger it often reacts first, instantly shielding others before itself.

Of course, if there are certain special regions, like places filled with the power of death, Ethereal State can’t traverse quickly, and Void State can’t linger long; only Breathing State can directly ignore these.

It can be said that the three great origin daos each have their strengths.

Yet now Chen Mu already masters all three origin daos!

"I wonder if under the Breathing State of life constant, he can also merge with the other two entering dao forms."

Chen Mu felt his own body, the thought flashed across his mind, and then immediately began to try. With just a thought, a radiance appeared on his body, entering the Ethereal State.

However.

What made Chen Mu’s eyes glint slightly was, upon entering Ethereal State, the heavy pressure followed.

Under Breathing State, despite the endless vitality and life constant, bearing two origin states at once, the pressure isn’t an exhaustion of life force, but a conflict between the origin daos.

Though calling it conflict isn’t entirely accurate, as the three great origin daos inherently complement and depend on each other; however, now Chen Mu hasn’t stepped into the God Realm nor forged a True Divine Realm, his life essence still belongs to a living being under the God Realm. To bear multiple origin powers in a normal living being’s state is evidently difficult to make these origin powers coalesce.

In plain terms, the level of life essence isn’t high enough to sustain multiple origin powers.

"Seems combining two origin states, prior to entering God Realm, truly is the limit."

Chen Mu, feeling the pressure from merging Breathing State and Ethereal State, shook his head slightly. He was not surprised by this, as he had already surmised this upon mastering Void Entering Dao and Time Entering Dao.

Otherwise, if he could simultaneously merge Void, Ethereal, and Breathing states, fusing the three origin powers, his power’s explosion might not be limited to Divine Under Ninth Rank but very possibly go further!

The power of Divine Under Ninth Rank already can break open the First Layer Heaven, comparable to Divine Realm First Layer Heaven.

The peak of Divine Under Ninth Rank naturally is the extreme of Divine Realm First Layer Heaven.

And surpassing the peak of Divine Under Ninth Rank, is undoubtedly surpassing the bottleneck of Divine Realm First Layer Heaven, and could directly break into Second Layer Heaven!

Evidently.

Without attaining God Realm, no means can break the Second Layer Heaven, this is a restriction and a protection, even forcefully breaking through would trigger a backlash sufficient to cause immediate demise of a living being not yet in God Realm.

After familiarizing himself with the power of Breathing State for a while, Chen Mu finally moved his thoughts to release Breathing State, then activated Void State and directed his gaze toward the central direction of Source Land.

Creation Enter Dao!

Now, one of his two goals had been achieved, next the place to go was naturally the center of Source Land.

Swipe.

Chen Mu didn’t pause much, after calming his thoughts, he stepped toward the center of Source Land.

...

"Roar!"

In the void, suddenly an invisible ripple emerged, followed by an invisible slash aimed at Chen Mu, seemingly a limb-shaped scythe, slicing forth as if to sever everything.

Simultaneously, from Chen Mu’s right came a roar, revealing a giant ten-odd zhang sized living being, racing towards him, crashing fiercely into him with a collision that made the air visibly distort.

The aura of the two exotic beasts was extremely strong, both reaching the level of Ninth Rank!

"Scram!"

Yet faced with the pincers of the two Ninth Rank beasts, Chen Mu’s expression remained unchanged, a vibrant glow flowed on his body, then quickly he swung fists towards both sides mid-air respectively.

Boom! Boom!!!

Two magnificent fist seals collided with the Void Strike and the charging Creation Beast, one fist shattered the Void Strike, one fist repelled the Creation Beast!

After repelling the two beasts, Chen Mu didn’t entangle, his figure immediately transformed into a beam of light, swiftly streaking across the heavens vault, continuing deep into the center of Source Land.

He had already solidified a complete Primordial Crystal, his comprehension of the three great origin daos had long reached the utmost under God Realm, continuing to hunt beasts held little significance, and naturally wouldn’t waste time with these beasts, not to mention one void and one creation, two Ninth Rank beasts combined would still be relatively troublesome even for him now.
