Chapter 1356: Chapter 657: Drawing Closer

“Ang!”

The twelve-legged giant elephant let out a long howl, relentlessly pursuing behind Molten Fire City, it stomped on the void, shattering lotus flowers beneath its feet, then rushed to the near side of Molten Fire City, a long nose covered in black scale armor suddenly swung up, descending with terrifying momentum, causing the Ninth Layer Void to tremble.

“All Worlds!”

Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s eyes were heavy, without hesitation he unleashed a supreme technique, swinging his staff in the air, instantly the layers of void ahead solidified, then aggregated and extended, transforming into emerging worlds.

These worlds woven from the void intertwined, solidifying the power of all worlds.

Yet such vast power, with all worlds converging, under a single swipe of the twelve-legged giant elephant’s long nose, still got crushed, thousands of worlds disintegrated, fragmented apart, and the momentum of the descending long nose only slowed slightly, then continued to impetuously press down.

Hmph.

Fan Gu Divine Monarch let out a muffled groan, his full-force technique shattered, the transmitted aftershock also causing his divine body to tremble, with signs of instability in all his divine powers around.

Being at the peak of Eighth Layer Heaven, confronting the Ninth Layer Heaven, indeed is still very challenging, almost impossible to face head-on, unless he deploys some ultimate life-risking methods, which could barely hold for a moment, but right now he’s in the Flame Sun Association, in Molten Fire City, the current situation doesn’t yet require such desperate measures, after all, the authorities of Flame Sun Association are all gathered here currently.

In fact,

The difference between a Ninth Layer Abyss Beast and a Ninth Layer Divine Monarch lies in the control over power.

While both can shatter the Ninth Layer Void with their might, the exceptional Divine Monarchs of Ninth Layer Heaven have their power more focused, each with unique techniques, able to unleash all their might at a specific area or on a living being’s divine body.

But Abyss Beasts often lack this ability, their methods are cruder and rougher.

Like a wave, the wave sent out by an Abyss Beast, and the wave by a Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, have generally equivalent might, yet the wave from the Abyss Beast can be evaded and dispersed through various means significantly, but the techniques of a Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch are hard to avoid, like Fan Gu Divine Monarch, if faced with one strike from a Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, he would never venture the first move to directly contest and clash.

Because directly clashing with one strike, the outcome would be unbearable, not just the divine body receiving impact and tremor, but also possibly causing direct damage to the divine body, annihilating a part of the divine power.

But there’s not much to fear with the Abyss Beast.

Using ‘All Worlds’ to contend for one strike, and retreating instantly upon the technique being crushed.

Boom! Boom!!!

At this time, the Divine Monarch Mo Yu and Divine Monarch Gen Jun beside Fan Gu Divine Monarch also took action one after another, multiple Eighth Layer Heaven peak techniques kept exploding and converging, one after another impacting upon the twelve-legged giant elephant’s long nose.

These methods struck in succession, although they didn’t stop the long nose completely, they greatly diminished its might, reducing both its speed and power significantly, so when it lashed on Molten Fire City, it merely caused the city walls to tremble, without inflicting any massive damage on the city itself.

At almost that moment.

A figure donned in a yellow robe abruptly appeared, his body igniting in a flash with a scarlet flame, this blazing fire seemed ethereal and elusive, if viewed by ordinary people, they wouldn’t even see that blazing flame, nor feel its heat.

Actually this flame isn’t even hot, its essence is the aggregation of Creation Power, formed by integrating various profound mysterious powers of all forms, causality, life, and more into a flame of creation, with a resonating hum in the surrounding void burning.

Flame Sun Divine Monarch!

The president of Flame Sun Association, finally appeared at this moment.

He cast a sharp gaze, striking out a blow in the air, instantly a towering flame burst from his palm, transforming into a mass of Flame Sun, instantly enveloping that twelve-legged giant elephant Abyss Beast.

Within this scarlet flame, almost every thread of fire carries a power of the Three Profound Mysterious Fusion, with a mere glimpse, one could see life, all spirits, causality, all forms, and creation, showing the presence of five profound mysterious powers.

“Flame Sun Divine Monarch…”

Chen Mu also noticed the commotion, glancing aside, with a flicker of light in his eyes.

Now he too, has reached the height of the Eighth Layer Heaven limit in strength, but the power Flame Sun Divine Monarch currently displays, indeed is somewhat stronger than his, and Flame Sun Divine Monarch reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven limit differs from him.

He relies on the divine power foundation of the Perfect Divine Body, mastering the power of the Three Mysteries Fusion of Four Void Lineage, and perfecting Four Divine Monarch Dominator Level Secret Techniques, feeling he surpassed the peak of Eighth Layer Heaven, reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven limit.

But Flame Sun Divine Monarch is different.

The opponent now reveals a realm of ‘Great Perfection of Three Mysteries in Creation Lineage’!

The so-called Great Perfection of Three Mysteries in Creation Lineage, means comprehending and mastering all ten forms through the integration of three subsets within the five profound mysteries of Creation Lineage, which is the so-called Great Perfection of Three Mysteries, achieving this allows deeper recognition by the Creation Dao, enhancing one’s own capacity to harness Creation Power to a higher level.

Like the moves Flame Sun Divine Monarch displays now, their power indeed comes infinitely close to the Ninth Layer Heaven.

However, the threshold of Ninth Layer Heaven differs from Seventh Layer Heaven and Eighth Layer Heaven, and can’t be broken in this way, even if Chen Mu achieves the Great Perfection of Three Mysteries, it remains at the Eighth Layer Heaven limit, at most infinitely approaching the Ninth Layer Heaven in all aspects, with even the strength of the divine body and life force comparable to a true Ninth Layer Heaven, but still unable to cross that boundary.
