Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1327: Chapter 643: Molten Lava Cave

Since purely from the perspective of combat strength, the Abyss Beast’s techniques are generally rather clumsy, and it doesn’t have any special trump cards. If a battle were to ensue, that Abyss Beast just now would definitely not be a match for the Demon Ancestor or Divine Monarch Ming Fan. However, the problem is that the Abyss Beast is almost the ruler of the Abyss of Eternity. Engaging in battle with one Abyss Beast can easily attract more, leading to being trapped in heavy encirclement!

By then, escape becomes impossible.

Therefore, not just an Abyss Beast of the Eighth Layer Heaven level, even one at the Seventh Layer Heaven level, Chen Mu would not entangle with it. Although it is his first time falling into the Abyss of Eternity, he is still well aware of many threats here.

"The essence of this Abyss Beast is indeed special. The rock layers that I can’t shake at all, it can directly merge into them."

Chen Mu recalled the scene from earlier, and a trace of eerie light flashed in his eyes.

All living beings that fall into the Abyss of Eternity almost find it impossible to forcibly break the rock layers and get out. Destroying these rock layers is difficult even for those of the Ninth Layer Heavens. Yet, the Abyss Beast has an entirely different essence of life, even able to move within the rock layers!

Therefore, Abyss Beasts are often elusive and untraceable as when they hide within the rock layers, they cannot be detected or predicted. Only when the Abyss Beast strikes and launches an attack can its presence be perceived.

"It seems I need to be even more cautious."

Chen Mu’s eyes appeared solemn, although he knew most of the Abyss Beasts within the Abyss of Eternity are below the Seventh Layer Heaven. Encountering an Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast right away is his poor luck, but he needs to stay long term in the Abyss of Eternity, and encountering Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts will inevitably become a norm.

Even when truly unfortunate, running into a Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast isn’t impossible.

Next, he indeed needs to be more cautious, quickly discern his position, and then see if he can join forces with Fan Gu Divine Monarch. If unable to join forces, he must also quickly find some nearby forces and attempt to join them.

In the Abyss of Eternity, acting alone is always extremely dangerous for cultivators, often even those at the peak of Eighth Layer Heaven do not wish to act alone, let alone him, who has only just crossed the threshold of the Eighth Layer Heaven.

...

Hiss.

A wisp of purple afterimage suddenly flashed out from the rock layers, rushing toward Chen Mu.

Chen Mu’s expression did not change, yet he did not retreat but instead raised his hand and pressed down. A beam of white Heavenly Mirror Light suddenly suppressed down.

The wisp of purple afterimage, carrying a mysterious aura, collided with Chen Mu’s mirror light. After a brief clash, the erupting power from its body was forcibly torn apart by the mirror light, thus its entire form was completely exposed, revealing it as a bizarrely growing small beast.

Although it is not quite appropriate to call it a small beast, it resembles a highly abstract creature with a purple flowing body, growing strange limbs, and each limb seems to have a scarlet eyeball.

This is an Abyss Beast, but it is only at the Seventh Layer Heaven threshold.

"Squeak!"

Under the suppression of the Heavenly Mirror Light, this Abyss Beast at the Seventh Layer Heaven threshold emitted a bizarre screech, struggling desperately to escape, but due to the immense difference in power, a whole major level apart, even with all its might, it could not break free from the suppression of the Heavenly Mirror Light. In mere moments, it was completely crushed by Chen Mu’s Heavenly Mirror Light, turning into dust.

After slaying the Abyss Beast, Chen Mu’s expression remained unchanged as he cast his gaze into the distance.

He had been in the Abyss of Eternity for a while, cautiously probing the nearby area, also organizing a vast map in his mind. Now he added another location to it.

Meanwhile,

Inside Fan Gu Palace.

Chen Mu’s avatar sat opposite Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s avatar.

"The position I am in, if not mistaken, should be the 19,741st layer of the Molten Lava Cave."

"Hmm, that’s quite close to me."

Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s expression eased upon hearing Chen Mu’s words.

Molten Lava Cave is the name of one of the regions inside the Abyss of Eternity. Even though it’s just a region, its scope is extremely vast, with seven thousand layers. Each layer is as large as a domain!

Regions like Molten Lava Cave are innumerable within the Abyss of Eternity, with those having specific names numbering in the tens of thousands, and many more without names, especially in the deeper layers of the Abyss of Eternity, most are unknown.

Generally speaking,

the position where one falls into the Abyss of Eternity is random.

Fan Gu Divine Monarch initially fell into the Molten Lava Cave and never left this place.

If Chen Mu fell into a region far from the Molten Lava Cave, Fan Gu Divine Monarch would abandon the idea of searching for Chen Mu to join forces, and recommend Chen Mu to directly seek out and join the closest cultivator force.

After all, Chen Mu’s strength has reached the Eighth Layer Heaven; although it is just barely at the Eighth Layer Heaven threshold, he is still a Divine Monarch Dominator. In the Abyss of Eternity, almost no force would reject Chen Mu’s inclusion.

But since Chen Mu is in the Molten Lava Cave, Fan Gu Divine Monarch naturally considers joining forces with him.

"I am on the 27,682nd layer of Molten Lava Cave... thus, you are unfamiliar with the Molten Lava Cave, so just stay there first, and I’ll come find you."

Fan Gu Divine Monarch slightly pondered before saying to Chen Mu.

The difference in position between him and Chen Mu is about eight thousand layers. It’s not very far, but not too close either. He cannot command all the Divine Monarchs in his force to move together and travel eight thousand layers to join Chen Mu.

To join forces with Chen Mu, he can only act alone temporarily, first find Chen Mu, and then bring him back. Luckily, he has been in the Abyss of Eternity for a lengthy time. Although he has never left the Molten Lava Cave, he is familiar with many areas within it, including the 19,741st layer where Chen Mu is currently located, which he has visited once.

"Alright, then I must trouble Senior Fan Gu."

Listening to Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s words, Chen Mu thanked him.

Fan Gu Divine Monarch is temporarily leaving his force to act alone and meet him, which undoubtedly carries some risk. Chen Mu is unwilling to incur too much causality, but the Abyss of Eternity is indeed fraught with crises, and as he is not familiar with it and possesses only threshold strength of the Eighth Layer Heaven, with Fan Gu Divine Monarch willing to actively seek him out and join forces, he accepts this favor.

"Between us, what need is there to speak of trouble."

Fan Gu Divine Monarch spoke with a calm tone.

His willingness to risk searching for Chen Mu to join forces naturally stems from certain intentions, as he knows well the terrifying potential of Chen Mu. Even without considering whether Chen Mu is a reincarnated Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, even if he isn’t, given Chen Mu’s current foundational potential, it won’t be long before he reaches the peak of the Eighth Layer Heaven and stands on equal footing.

The force he joined, named ’Flame Sun Association,’ although it gathers thousands of Divine Monarchs, only seven, including him, have reached the peak of the Eighth Layer Heaven. It’s not a very large force, and even if Chen Mu only possesses Eighth Layer Heaven threshold strength, joining Flame Sun Association can enhance its power slightly. If he reaches the peak of the Eighth Layer Heaven in the future, he will be even more influential.

Moreover, Chen Mu might be a reincarnated Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, potentially returning to the Ninth Layer Heaven!

In this situation, if Chen Mu fell into a region far from Molten Lava Cave, that would be fine. But since he happens to be within Molten Lava Cave, Fan Gu Divine Monarch would certainly make every effort to join forces with Chen Mu.

...

Meanwhile.

Within Molten Lava Cave.

Receiving clear information from Fan Gu Divine Monarch, Chen Mu slightly pondered, put away the Heavenly Mirror, and continued to probe the nearby environment. Soon, he further confirmed his position.

Fan Gu Divine Monarch, after all, is an Eighth Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch Dominator, and Molten Lava Cave is merely a shallow-layer region of the Abyss of Eternity. The situations that could threaten Fan Gu Divine Monarch are exceedingly rare.

Days later, Chen Mu finally saw the Divine Power True Body of Fan Gu Divine Monarch within the Molten Lava Cave!
