Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1222: Chapter 596: Abyss Life (2)

During this period, Chen Mu’s understanding of the vast universe has deepened further.

Although in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, and even within hundreds of nearby domains, he had never heard of any Divine Monarch who had shattered the Seventh Layer Heaven purely by power without integrating the Mystical fusion, there must be such figures in the true Endless Void, a universe of infinite expanse.

If the integration of Mystical progresses too slowly, then, by comprehending enough Mystical, mastering enough Divine Power Secret Techniques, and shattering the Seventh Layer Heaven first, it would be a suitable path for Chen Mu to take. What he needs to improve is his current strength.

...

Dark Sky Abyss.

Somewhere.

In the pitch-black gloom, suddenly a flurry of auras intertwined, forming a pair of scarlet pupils.

These scarlet pupils surveyed the Nihility outside the Dark Sky Abyss, and after an unknown period, they suddenly crawled out from the Dark Sky Abyss, merging into the void, swiftly traversing through the void.

Its body was like smoke and clouds, seemingly intangible and insubstantial, moving at extreme speed, sweeping across billions of miles in an instant.

Soon.

This shadow approached the border of the Fan Gu Space Domain.

But as it drew closer and closer to the border of the Fan Gu Space Domain, a surge of Qi energy suddenly spread out in the void ahead. Chen Mu’s figure stepped out from the void, raising his right hand skyward, pressing out a palm into the open air.

As this palm descended, a vast gathering of divine power converged magnificently, drawing endless Creation Power, transforming into a colossal palm imprint covering ten thousand miles, slapping down towards that shadow!

Boom!

This palm imprint, with a pale cyan hue, at the moment of its execution by Chen Mu, seemed to come ’alive’, possessing a unique spirituality and life!

This was a move Chen Mu developed after comprehending the Life Profound Mystery and the Mysteries of All Spirits. Even a palm imprint struck in the air could transform into a kind of ’life’ from the move itself!

Though such life was like an ephemeron, its purpose of creation was merely to unleash the full power of this move. It was born to die, yet a move imbued with life had an enormous distinction from a regular move!

"Hiss!"

The abyss life that crawled out from the abyss, sensing the danger of Chen Mu’s move, immediately materialized its form, letting out a long hiss.

Its body, like indistinct smoke and dust, forcibly solidified from the void, turning into a pitch-black hue, as if merging with the distant Dark Sky Abyss, and suddenly opened its mouth towards the heavens, spitting out a blazing black flame!

This black flame was incredibly terrifying, seemingly of the Separating Fire aspect of Qiankun Eight Phases, but in reality, it had long exceeded the scope of Qiankun, being formed of various Power of Origin Dao overlapping in an extremely chaotic manner, creating chaotic black flames!

Under this move, any God Realm from Two or Three Layers Heaven, if caught, its divine power body would instantly be burned to ashes, completely dissolved by that terrifying power of chaos, even a Four Layer Heaven God Realm had to defend cautiously, not daring to be careless.

But.

Such a black flame, upon colliding with Chen Mu’s falling cyan giant palm, merely flickered, rapidly vanishing within the cyan light.

Seeing this, the abyss life showed a human-like expression of shock in its scarlet eyes and let out another long hiss. Its pitch-black body suddenly split, shattering into dozens or hundreds of pieces, and at the instant the cyan giant palm suppressed, it drilled through the gaps of the giant palm, fleeing swiftly in all directions.

Watching this scene, Chen Mu also had a slight change in his gaze.

This drilling move seemed simple but was actually a deep-level rules confrontation.

That palm, although it looked like a human’s five fingers with gaps, was actually a palm gathering divine power and Creation Power, transforming into a burst of Life Force of All Spirits. The visible gaps were not gaps at all.

The inherent sealing power of it, let alone ten thousand miles, even within twenty or thirty thousand miles nearby, no living being could escape and would be completely covered within the force of this palm.

The reason the abyss life could drill out from between the fingers was due to an extremely chaotic force, forcibly twisting the sealing power of Chen Mu’s palm, not a confrontation of power levels, but distorting the determination rules of Chen Mu’s palm, excluding the abyss life from the suppression range.

Yet.

Observing the abyss life splitting and fleeing, Chen Mu did not make another move but still stood with hands behind, in place.

Just in the next moment, without any action from him, the cyan giant palm which was suppressed and gathered in the air suddenly roared, its surface igniting with violent flames, burning with intense green flame!

Divine power burning!

Under normal circumstances, when a God Realm entity is desperate, it can use this method of divine power burning, forcibly burning its own divine power to enhance a certain amount of power, but this burning would damage themselves.

Yet when this palm of Chen Mu burned, it had no effect on his main body whatsoever!

Because after this palm was executed, it was completely separated from his main body, no longer having any connection. This burning was a spontaneous action from the cyan giant palm, which, in essence, was already a spiritual life, and its sole duty was to annihilate the abyss life by all means!

Under the complete burning of power, the prowess of this palm was amplified once more, and everything did not end there.

At the next moment.

The burning cyan giant palm suddenly shattered and disintegrated, transforming into hundreds of smaller fragmented hands, dispersing in all directions, grabbing towards each of the splitting black shadows!

"Squeak squeak!"

The fragmented black shadows, caught one after another by the splitting cyan hands, immediately let out squeaky noises like rodents, exerting their full strength to burst forth, but still gripped by the cyan hands, crushed one by one.

Even after being crushed, the black shadows did not die but transformed into black mist, quickly reforming, continuing their attempt to flee, but before they could escape, they were struck again by the cyan hands, repeatedly crushed until gradually dimming, ultimately perishing completely.

In less than a moment.

All the fragmented black shadows perished.

And the cyan hands dispersed in all directions dimmed one by one, and finally quickly dissipated and vanished.

"So this is an abyss life..."

Chen Mu gazed at the spot where the abyss life had perished, revealing a pensive expression.

He had been guarding the Dark Sky Abyss for nearly a hundred Boundary Years, and this was his first encounter with an abyss life crawling out from the Dark Sky Abyss, with strength not to be underestimated, even a Four Layer Heaven True God might not be able to handle it.

The methods it employed were completely different from those of usual God Realm entities.

The methods employed by regular God Realm entities are nothing more than Origin Power or various special techniques generated from Mystical, such as All Forms Avatar, or the Life Spirit empowerment of Chen Mu.

But this abyss life employed a pure Power of Chaos, or ’Distortion’ power, capable of causing normal rules and Mystical to distort, vastly differing from the techniques of God Realm entities.

"Order and disorder, chaos and order, these are branches within the Mystical fusion, but the chaos displayed by this abyss life cannot be completely encompassed by the Mystical of All Forms..."

Chen Mu murmured softly.

The chaotic nature is a component of the Creation Dao, only the chaotic presence of this abyss life was discernibly on a much higher level, even capable of directly distorting his Life Force of All Spirits, but this also gave him a deeper understanding of chaos and All Forms.
