Chapter 1256: Chapter 611: Floating Life Sword

Since the overall situation is still unclear, Chen Mu decided to wait and see how things would unfold. Given his current strength, even if the Dark Sky Abyss witnessed a massive outbreak of the Dark Sky Tide, he would still be prepared to respond at any moment.

As time went on, the trend of the Dark Sky Tide grew increasingly intense. Abyss Lifeforms began appearing not only more frequently but in greater numbers, often emerging two or three at a time.

For the likes of the Wing King and others guarding the Dark Sky Abyss, this frequent emergence of Abyss Lifeforms presented both an opportunity and a challenge. The opportunity came from the increased number of Abyss Lifeforms, which allowed them to yield certain benefits.

The number of Abyss Lifeforms they would typically encounter over tens of thousands of boundary years could now be found within just a few boundary years, bringing with them gains of unique objects and resources. However, it also presented challenges, notably that some Abyss Lifeforms had reached the Sixth Layer Heaven and were not easily defeated.

However, this situation did not last long.

Just as the Dark Sky Tide reached a critical point, the Fan Gu Palace finally initiated a response.

In the realm of Nihility.

Chen Mu, who was gazing into the Dark Sky Abyss, suddenly shifted his attention towards the border of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain. He saw numerous figures emerging from the direction of the domain’s barrier, stepping into the Dark Sky Abyss.

A quick scan revealed at least over a dozen Fifth Layer Heaven True Gods, and even more than one Sixth Layer Heaven True God among them.

Leading them was a woman clad in red, known as Hong Lin, one of the disciples of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, and also a vice hall master of the Fan Gu Palace, a pinnacle Sixth Layer Heavenly Divine Realm existence.

"Vice Hall Master Hong Lin."

Chen Mu was not familiar with Hong Lin. Although she was a vice hall master of the Fan Gu Palace, he had never interacted with her before, knowing only her name. Now was his first time seeing her.

"Realm Master Chen."

Hong Lin, leading many Gods, arrived in the Dark Sky Abyss. Upon seeing Chen Mu, she nodded proactively in greeting.

As a disciple of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, she was naturally aware of much information concerning Chen Mu, knowing his high natural talent and the significant regard held for him by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch. Moreover, she understood that Chen Mu had now also become a Sixth Layer Heaven True God, even if just entering that tier, putting him on the same level as her. Thus, she held no arrogance towards Chen Mu, viewing him equally in her heart.

Very soon.

The Realm Master of Molten Fire, the Wing King, and others guarding the Dark Sky Abyss received information and gathered at a central location. However, they only sent their Divine Power Avatars, keeping their true bodies at their respective stations on guard.

"Everyone, by the Divine Monarch’s command, I am here to guard the Dark Sky Abyss and cope with this Dark Sky Tide. Please temporarily follow my directives and work together to overcome this calamity. Neither I nor the Fan Gu Palace will take any of the resources gained afterward. Does anyone have objections?"

After gathering those responsible for guarding the Dark Sky Abyss, Hong Lin addressed them.

"I have no objections."

"At the instruction of Vice Hall Master Hong Lin."

Hearing her words, the Wing King and the Realm Master of Hong Ming had no objections.

Their status was originally far below that of Hong Lin. Not only was Hong Lin’s strength at the peak of the Sixth Layer Heaven, comparable to that of Hall Master Tai Chen, but her status as a disciple of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch was not to be slighted.

Hong Lin, carrying the command of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, could have forcibly directed everyone, yet she asked for their opinions, granting the Wing King, the Realm Master of Hong Ming, and other Sixth Layer Heavenly Divine Realms ample respect, leaving them with even less to contest.

Besides, the Dark Sky Tide wasn’t something they could handle alone in the first place.

Chen Mu, for his part, paid it no mind.

If Hong Lin leading the others could withstand this Dark Sky Tide, he would be glad not to have to exert himself.

"Good."

Seeing that no one had objections, Hong Lin began her directives: "Realm Master of Molten Fire, Divine General of Lan Zhu... I’d trouble you all to monitor different regions of the Dark Sky Abyss. Report immediately if there’s any movement."

Under normal circumstances, those like the Realm Master of Molten Fire, with their Fifth Layer Heaven strength, could independently guard portions of the Dark Sky Abyss. Yet now, during the Dark Sky Tide period, the Abyss Lifeforms in the Dark Sky Abyss often appeared in groups and were exceedingly powerful, making it very dangerous for them to handle alone. Encountering several Sixth Layer Heaven Abyss Lifeforms at once, they risked falling.

Following Hong Lin’s arrangements, they no longer needed to directly confront the Abyss Lifeforms but were only responsible for monitoring movements and reporting any sightings to Hong Lin. The Realm Master of Molten Fire and others naturally had no objections to such directives.

After deploying twenty Fifth Layer Heaven True Gods to monitor different regions, Hong Lin turned her attention towards the Wing King, Chen Mu, and others, saying, "While the Realm Master of Molten Fire and others handle monitoring, it’s up to the rest of you to eliminate the Abyss Lifeforms."

Hong Lin’s coordination was quite simple.

The Realm Master of Molten Fire and others would monitor, and when Abyss Lifeforms appeared, no matter their number or level, the Wing King and others would move jointly to exterminate them swiftly.

Her role was to manage centrally, addressing any special situations.

This mission to guard the Dark Sky Abyss came unexpectedly, and she was unsure of the underlying issue, only knowing that the Fan Gu Divine Monarch was temporarily unavailable. Moreover, he had entrusted her with several unique objects to ensure she could fully respond to the Dark Sky Tide.
