Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1349: Chapter 653: 8th Heaven Limit

In the boundless Star Dome, on an ordinary star spanning only tens of thousands of miles.

Swish.

Chen Yao’s figure stumbled out from the Nihility, slightly staggering. Despite being protected by a gentle force, the vast distance of the Void Shifting still caused her, a Fifth Layer Heaven True God, some discomfort.

This was the effect caused by the rapid transformation of the Void.

However, this discomfort vanished in an instant. After all, Chen Yao was a Fifth Layer Heaven True God, no longer a mortal. She was slightly surprised as she looked around, not expecting that she had not been directly transported back to Da Xuan World.

But when she saw, not far away, a figure standing with hands behind their back, gazing up at the Star Dome, her heart was instead without any surprise. She proactively walked forward, smilingly raising her hand and taking out the Star Fate Stone.

"Father, look!"

Chen Mu slowly turned around, yet did not look at the Star Fate Stone that Chen Yao offered like a treasure. Instead, his gaze was directed towards a void behind Chen Yao, looking at that sky, and he spoke in a calm tone, uttering just one word.

"Begone."

Boom!

That seemingly plain word, when it fell, contained an unimaginable power, directly resonating with the billions of miles of Void, causing the vast and endless Universe to collapse with a roar!

The indescribable terrifying power stirred in the Void, and Chen Yao, who was holding up the Star Fate Stone, was instantly frozen in place. Even though she was a peak Fifth Layer Heaven True God, at this moment she only felt an indescribable insignificance, as if the entire world was exploding by her ears.

As a True God, she naturally did not need to turn around to understand the scene behind her.

What she saw was the billions of miles of the Star Dome collapsing and shattering behind her, accompanied by the boundless and majestic Divine Power shaking the four directions. The layers of the Void exploded, until it shattered to the Seventh Layer, when a figure appeared in it in a wretched state, swept by the vast power of the Void, with a faint hint of fright on their face.

This was a Divine Monarch, a Seven Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch!

However, at this moment, before this Seven Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch could say anything, the surrounding majestic Divine Power completely enveloped his figure, crushing his Divine Body in a devastating manner. No matter how he struggled to resist, he was utterly unable to contend with the overwhelming Void might, disintegrating into dust in the shattered Void in just a moment!

The Eighth Layer Void also shattered in the burst of this power, and billions of miles of the Star Dome turned into a broken ruin, yet this terrifying explosion at such close distance did not affect the small star beneath Chen Mu and Chen Yao’s feet at all. The entire star wasn’t even slightly affected, continuing to quietly revolve in the Void.

Finally.

The Divine Power that filled the Nihility gradually receded, and the broken Void stopped further disintegration.

Within the fragmented depths of the Void, an extremely faint remnant shadow flashed and fled into the distance. It was still vaguely recognizable as the former Seven Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, but his aura was so weak that he was almost inferior to Chen Yao, and he didn’t dare utter another word, disappearing in an instant.

Chen Mu watched this scene with indifferent eyes, making no further movements. From start to finish, he stood firmly in place, without even lifting a finger.

"Father... Father, what was that just now..."

Although Chen Yao was completely unharmed by the terrifying power that filled the Void earlier, such a vast force unfolded in her proximity, making her feel an indescribable insignificance. Her entire body was somewhat difficult to move, until that power entirely dissipated. Only then did she recover slightly, turning to look at the Star Dome behind her.

Chen Mu finally retracted his gaze at this moment, looking down at her, gently taking the Star Fate Stone from her hand, and said in a gentle tone, "A Divine Monarch, following you... Hmm, you were indeed fortunate this time to acquire a Double Vein Star Fate Stone. Such an item of considerable value naturally attracted a Divine Monarch."

Chen Yao only felt a chill rising within her. A Divine Monarch had actually set their sights on her, but when had that happened?

Chen Mu seemed to see through her thoughts, casually tossing the Star Fate Stone in his hand, as if it were merely a trivial toy. He said, "When you used my ’Cross-border Transfer Talisman,’ or perhaps a bit earlier. Once my talisman was activated, though he was a Divine Monarch, he couldn’t prevent it. However, he realized that the distance you shifted wasn’t far, so he immediately followed your aura to pursue you."

Compared to Chen Yao, using the Cross-border Transfer Talisman to directly transport to Da Xuan World was indeed quite a long distance. But to a Divine Monarch, it wasn’t that far.

Despite sensing the Divine Monarch-level power on the Cross-border Transfer Talisman, involving a valuable Double Vein Star Fate Stone, he naturally wouldn’t easily let go. Even encountering another Divine Monarch, he wouldn’t mind engaging in a fight.

However,

The person he ran into was Chen Mu.

If it were merely disputes among juniors, as long as it didn’t involve life and death crises, Chen Mu wouldn’t overly protect Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and others. After all, uncut jade does not become useful; to venture further on this Immortal Road, they must endure hardships.

In the past, he was always in a precarious situation, lacking enough assurance to protect Chen Yue and Chen Yao, ensuring their safety in the vast Universe. Therefore, he never allowed Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and others to leave the Da Xuan World.
