Chapter 1354: Chapter 655: Chaotic Battle

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Fan Gu Divine Monarch and many leaders of the Flame Sun Association took action, the commotion was earth-shattering, with terrifying and majestic power continuously exploding in the sky, shaking the entire Molten Fire City, and causing disturbances to arise in every direction of the Molten Lava Cave.

Meanwhile, inside Molten Fire City, atop a Green Mountain, Chen Mu’s figure flickered and appeared at the mountain peak. He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where Fan Gu Divine Monarch and others were battling, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

At this moment,

in his vision, he could see figures soaring into the sky. They were the Divine Monarchs residing in Molten Fire City.

During ordinary times, Divine Monarchs not responsible for defending the city or patrolling duty naturally do not need to act, but in times of crisis, without instructions from the Flame Sun Association, the Divine Monarchs would also take action, after all, the Flame Sun Association and Molten Fire City are both excellent and suitable places for everyone to settle, and no one wants to lose them.

Although there are more than one force present in the Underground Cavern, and even forces controlled by Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs exist, everything often has its pros and cons. Forces led by Ninth Layer Heaven Divine Monarchs are much larger than the Flame Sun Association, have more rules, and greater restrictions. Comparatively, the system of the Flame Sun Association is the most free.

"Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast, huh, it is indeed troublesome."

While observing the situation, Chen Mu showed a pondering expression.

For the Flame Sun Association, they can easily deal with Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts, even if a large group of Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts suddenly appeared, they could still retreat gracefully. But Ninth Layer Heaven is a completely different concept, the tricks of the Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast are far more powerful than the Eighth Layer Heaven. At present, even with six Eighth Layer Heaven Peak leaders of the Flame Sun Association joined forces, they can only passively resist against the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast.

If not for Molten Fire City sealing the void, exerting a suppressive effect on it, the moves the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast could unleash would be even more terrifying, and it would be even harder for Fan Gu Divine Monarch and others to contend with.

In reality,

the biggest trouble with the Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast is not that its attacks are hard to withstand, but that it is hard to shake it off.

Just like now, Fan Gu Divine Monarch and others teaming up, relying on Molten Fire City, can basically withstand the attacks of the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast, but trying to dismiss and suppress it is absolutely impossible, nor can it conceal the commotion of the battle.

In such situations, all Abyss Beasts in the Molten Lava Cave would be attracted one after another, converging from all directions, gradually forming a beast tide, trapping Molten Fire City, and that would be the most severe condition!

Nevertheless,

although the Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast is tricky, the Flame Sun Association, since its establishment, has experienced far more than one attack by Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts, encountering great troubles with some, yet successfully getting rid of others relatively easily.

The key still depends on the type of that Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast. Generally, Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts adept at void methods are most troublesome and extremely hard to shake off, only by using pathways to leave this layer and go to another layer, can they be cast away.

Comparatively, Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts of Creation type might be directly shaken off in this layer.

At this moment, in Chen Mu’s perception, he also sensed that the aura of Abyss Beasts was emerging from all directions, with more than one Abyss Beast detecting the commotion over here and starting to continuously converge towards Molten Fire City.

Just as he was pondering countermeasures in his mind, the entire Molten Fire City abruptly shook violently!

Buzz!

In Chen Mu’s perception, he only felt Molten Fire City first paused briefly, followed immediately by a magnificent and majestic power erupting from within, originally moving at a rather slow speed, suddenly accelerating intensely!

Simultaneously, at the edge of Molten Fire City, a hazy light suddenly exploded, transforming into a surging Divine Power, shaking the void, and unfolded at once, with a roaring clash against the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast.

"Roar!"

The Giant Elephant Abyss Beast originally had half its body raised, the four legs previously stepping towards the city pass had already turned into six legs, using the power of six legs to confront Fan Gu Divine Monarch, Mo Yu Divine Monarch, and many other Eighth Layer Heaven Peak leaders of the Flame Sun Association. At this moment, suddenly struck by the eruption of Molten Fire City, its original suppressive momentum was instantly overturned, and its massive body trembled in the void.

Despite this violent collision, it neither toppled the Giant Elephant nor even forced it to retreat, it did make it pause for a brief moment, and seizing this moment of pause, Molten Fire City immediately transformed into a stream of light, swiftly flying towards the distance.

The president of the Flame Sun Association took action!

At this time, Chen Mu had already arrived at the pass of Molten Fire City, where thousands of Divine Monarchs had gathered. He stood in an unobtrusive corner, his gaze shifting when he noticed the changes in Molten Fire City.

The president of the Flame Sun Association, Flame Sun Divine Monarch, an Eighth Layer Heaven Limit Divine Monarch Dominator, and the one closest to the Ninth Layer Heaven. The power and methods he displayed while maneuvering Molten Fire City have already come infinitely close to the Ninth Layer Heaven!

"Slightly stronger than me..."

Chen Mu assessed his own strength, realizing that although he had surpassed the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, if he were to unleash his full power, he might not reach the level of power displayed earlier; he might fall slightly short.

This wasn’t because his strength was inferior to the president of the Flame Sun Association, but because the ’Molten Fire City,’ a palace-like divine weapon, was far stronger than the Heavenly Mirror he held. The power enhancement effect brought by the Heavenly Mirror had significantly weakened for him, whereas the Molten Fire City, which was also an upper divine weapon, was based on the foundation of the Four Mysterious Fusion, having a stronger heritage.

If he were to wield the Molten Fire City, perhaps the power he could unleash would be even greater than that of the Flame Sun Divine Monarch!

At this moment,

The Molten Fire City, under the manipulation of the Flame Sun Divine Monarch, temporarily broke free from the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast, allowing the divine monarchs gathered at the city wall to slightly relax in their hearts, while Chen Mu quietly remained at the edge, continuing to watch.

In an instant, Molten Fire City fled far away, distancing itself from the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast. Almost immediately, the divine monarchs couldn’t see the shadow of the beast anymore, seeming to have escaped. But in the next moment, a violent pressure soared into the sky.

"Roar..."

In the distant void, space suddenly shattered with a resounding explosion, opening a continuous channel through which a colossal black shadow chased forth, unmistakably the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast!

Where its twelve gigantic feet trampled, the void continually shattered, creating petal-like fractures in the Nine Layers of Void, each step seemingly forming a Void Lotus.

In merely the blink of an eye, this giant elephant had caught up with Molten Fire City!

"Not good, this abyss beast possesses void-based techniques."

Not far from Chen Mu, a familiar yet solemn voice reached his ears, belonging to Divine Monarch Jingtian, who had defended the city alongside him before. Unknowingly joining him, his eyes were focused solemnly on the pursuing Giant Elephant Abyss Beast.

Chen Mu glanced sideways, meeting Divine Monarch Jingtian’s gaze. Neither of them exchanged many words, only nodding slightly before directing their attention beyond Molten Fire City.

Visible at this moment, chasing after Molten Fire City were not just the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast but also numerous other abyss beasts emerging from the Molten Lava Cave below. Some appeared as black threads, while some resembled fiery red flames, others had wriggling bodies, possessing physical forms, looking like demons with varying breaths, some only at Seventh Layer Heaven, while others emitted Eighth Layer Heaven’s power.

Buzz!!!

The Giant Elephant Abyss Beast caught up with Molten Fire City, its violent and fierce gaze locked onto the city wall, directly crashing into it with brute force. The impact caused the front void to break layer by layer, shattering the Nine Layers.

On the city wall, Divine Monarch Mo Yu, Fan Gu Divine Monarch, and others’ expressions changed without hesitation, simultaneously joining forces to resist. The Flame Sun Association president, seemingly hidden somewhere, manipulated the entire Molten Fire City, erupting with a grand and magnificent void power, forcibly gathering the prowess of Divine Monarch Mo Yu, Fan Gu Divine Monarch, and others to intercept the giant elephant.

Boom!

The giant elephant crashed into the city wall, generating a collision of powerful forces that shook the entire Molten Fire City.

Molten Fire City appeared to be fleeing rapidly, enduring the impact from the giant elephant, seemingly launched at greater speed. But in reality, at this level of confrontation, it wasn’t so simple.

The collision force withstood by the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast shattered the Nine Layers of Void, causing a collapse and disruption around Molten Fire City.

Molten Fire City, moving freely within the Eight Layers of Void, could calmly escape. But when the Nine Layers of Void shattered, sinking into the chaotic waves of the Ninth Layer Void, its speed dramatically decreased, as if trapped in a quagmire.

In fact,

Maintaining form amidst the surging broken waves of Nine Layers of Void, continuing to advance, highlighted the essence of Molten Fire City, an upper divine weapon reaching the Ninth Layer Heaven.

If it were to be replaced by the lower-tiered Fan Gu Palace, caught in the broken waves of the Ninth Layer Void, it might not collapse, but it might sink deeply and struggle to operate.

Due to the collision with the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast, Molten Fire City’s speed decreased, allowing the numerous abyss beasts rushing from all directions to finally catch up. Beasts of Seventh Layer Heaven and Eighth Layer Heaven, in various forms and invisibility, upon nearing Molten Fire City, fiercely launched attacks.

Meanwhile, atop Molten Fire City’s city wall, including Divine Monarch Jingtian, hundreds of divine monarchs present faced these scenes with solemn gazes. Witnessing this unfolding, they didn’t hesitate, each stepping forward to confront and counterattack the numerous abyss beasts!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

In almost an instant, Molten Fire City’s city wall transformed into a massive battlefield. Powers and breaths of Seventh Layer Heaven thrummed continuously, like waves crashing, while Eighth Layer Heaven collisions erupted successively, one after another.

"Don’t panic, the passage is very near. Everyone only needs to hold off for a moment to escape this calamity."

Alongside the outbreak of battle, a voice echoed from Molten Fire City’s city wall, steady and calm, not swayed by the current situation. It belonged to none other than the Flame Sun Association’s president and Flame Sun Divine Monarch, who had been maneuvering Molten Fire City amidst the surging void, simultaneously combating the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast.
