Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1290: Chapter 626: Existing in the Past (Part 2)

He is a dignified Divine Monarch level being, with a completely abundant foundation, an almost flawless Seven Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch, the powers he masters encompass three kinds of Origin Dao, and his methods are naturally far from shallow.

With a flip of Chen Mu’s hand, those three golden threads suddenly trembled, and suddenly transformed from gold to a translucent color, the Life Spiritual Power within them also changed, instantly converting into a kind of ethereal force.

Void Force!

In an instant, the three Life Spirit Lines switched forms, transforming into three Void Lines.

In the next moment, these three Void Lines interwove, instantly slicing through the void, forming an independent space, enclosing that blob of black mud and lifting it upwards once again.

However.

To Chen Mu’s surprise, the lines constructed with Void Force, slicing out a block of independent space as a ‘net’ to scoop up that strange black mud, still couldn’t retrieve it!

This peculiar black mud seemed to be an even more ephemeral existence, flowing out from the cut space again, ignoring spatial isolation and interception, continuing to sink towards the bottom of the Void River.

“So that’s how it is.”

Watching the blob of black mud, Chen Mu, though surprised at how difficult it was to scoop, after two unsuccessful attempts, had already discerned the essence of this black mud. Despite appearances, there was no doubt its core was the Time Dao!

Only substances affected by the Power of Time would be so elusive.

Chen Mu couldn’t discern its core at a glance, even after ruling out Creation and Void as its essence, finally determining it to be Time, for a simple reason. This blob of black mud might only exist in sight, but in reality, its root was in the ‘past’ or ‘future’!

Distorted by the Power of Time, not on the current timeline, meaning it couldn’t be touched. This is the reason it appeared so strange, its essence difficult to probe because the essence simply wasn’t here.

However,

The Power of Time is not without solution.

For Chen Mu, as long as its essence was clear, there was more than one way to solve it.

One, he could unleash the Divine Monarch Power of the Seven Layer Heaven, overcoming the cunning with force, forcibly tearing apart the Power of Time entangled with this blob of black mud, thereby dragging it from the ‘past’ or ‘future’ into the present!

There’s no hierarchy among Origin Daos, the Divine Power that constitutes the essence of life for beings in the God Realm is also molded by Origin Power, sharing the same essence as Origin Daos. Therefore, while the methods of the Time Dao may appear very mystical, involving past and future, in the end, when it comes to true confrontation, it still depends on the strength of power.

Unless the essence of this blob of black mud transcends the Seven Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, otherwise any Seven Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch could ‘overcome the cunning with force,’ forcibly tearing apart that layer of temporal distortion force.

But Chen Mu did not use such brute force methods.

His gaze flickered slightly, then with a light flick of a finger, the three Void Lines changed again, this time instantly covered with a seven-colored sheen, bursting forth with three completely different Time Mysterious Powers.

Past, Present, Future!

Chen Mu had long mastered all five Essential Mysteries of the Time Dao, and now he didn’t need to use the last two mysteries, ‘Loop’ and ‘Gap,’ the Past, Present, and Future were enough.

Swish!

The three seven-colored threads wove into a web of Time, encompassing the Past, Present, and Future, enshrouding the blob of peculiar black mud, and at the moment of contact, the powers of ‘Present’ and ‘Future’ both pierced through it, only the power of ‘Past’ contacted the substance, entangled the blob of black mud.

The expression on Chen Mu remained unchanged, his right hand gently lifted.

This time the blob of black mud encountered no obstruction, nor was there any Void Vortex to hinder, it was simply ensnared by his Past Line, then swiftly pulled out from the waters of the Void River, arriving before Chen Mu.

Simultaneously, Chen Mu gave a slight shake of his hand, and the three threads vanished momentarily.

“An oddity whose essence exists in the ‘past’?”

Chen Mu gazed at the black mud floating before him, revealing a look of interest.

Though he also had artifacts from the Time Lineage in his hand, it was his first time encountering such a situation.

Through the contact of the ‘Past Line,’ he had become somewhat clear about the essence of this black mud, its essence was quite ordinary, just the most common ‘Realm Clay,’ belonging to the most ordinary resources, of very low value, its only purpose being to serve as the foundation of a world during the attempt to create one from nothing.

This material is produced in large quantities, basically any world during its birth and destruction would produce it, and if one wanted to use Realm Clay to open and stabilize a large-scale world, the amount needed would be extremely vast, millions of times more than this small lump, so the value of this small lump of Realm Clay is extremely low, hardly even considered by Divine Beings of the Second or Third Layer Heaven.

However,

This most ordinary lump of Realm Clay, for some reason unknown, was influenced by a Power of Time, being attached to it, causing its body to be left in the past!

The current state is merely its projection in the present.

“The Power of Time is truly peculiar.”
