Chapter 1357: Chapter 657: Closing In (Part 2)

The Four Mysterious Fusion is the only shackle to break the Ninth Layer Void.

Buzz!!

The blazing flames transformed into a Flame Sun, containing ten types of Three Profound Mysterious Fusion Power converging, temporarily trapping the twelve-footed Giant Elephant Abyss Beast within. At the same time, Molten Fire City immediately broke free from the Giant Elephant, escaping deep into the cavern passage.

However, the moves of the Flame Sun Divine Monarch, after all, only reached the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit. Even with ten types of Three Profound Mysterious Fusion Power interlinked, forming an almost perfect Formation, after a stalemate, the twelve-footed Giant Elephant still used its most brutal Ninth Layer Heaven power, forcibly tearing apart the Flame Sun that entrapped it!

"Ang!!!"

The Giant Elephant roared in anger again, stepping forward, continuing its pursuit of Molten Fire City.

Originally, when the Flame Sun Divine Monarch briefly trapped the Giant Elephant, driving Molten Fire City took the opportunity to escape a great distance. But the Underground Cavern passage is different from above ground, as the passage is twisted and winding, with a complex structure. Molten Fire City couldn’t crash through it head-on and had to follow the cavern’s construction for Flying Escape.

But the Abyss Beasts could ignore the cavern, burrowing directly into the rock layers and flying through them in a straight line without detours, rendering them far more agile than Molten Fire City.

It was only a brief moment before the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast caught up with Molten Fire City again.

Boom!

The pressure of the Ninth Layer Heaven shook the Void, causing it to shiver, as the surging power enveloped Molten Fire City again, creating a quagmire-like Domain of Void that once more drastically slowed Molten Fire City’s Flying Escape speed.

"Hold on, everyone, there’s less than three trillion miles left to the passage from here."

The Flame Sun Divine Monarch stood on the city walls, watching the pursuing Giant Elephant Abyss Beast, speaking in a deep voice.

Three trillion miles,

Under normal circumstances, this scale can be crossed in an instant for a Divine Monarch. However, in the Molten Lava Cave, disrupted and entangled by numerous Abyss Beasts, and with a Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast relentlessly pursuing, this distance of three trillion miles is neither extraordinarily close nor far, requiring another period of intense battle at least.

Whish!

Not far from Chen Mu, a green light flashed past, briefly colliding with a Seventh Layer Heaven Abyss Beast, forcibly repelling it, and then landing on the city wall, revealing the figure of the Lv He Divine Monarch, who had once defended the city together.

Lv He Divine Monarch landed, his aura fluctuating. He stabilized his trembling Divine Power and remarked, his eyes sparkling: "Three trillion miles, just a moment’s work. As long as there’s not a second Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast, there won’t be any problems."

Upon hearing Lv He Divine Monarch’s words, Chen Mu glanced at him, then slightly shook his head inwardly.

For the Flame Sun Association and Molten Fire City, what is most troublesome is the Ninth Layer Heaven Giant Elephant Abyss Beast. The Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts don’t significantly impact, even if hundreds of them emerge. The Flame Sun Divine Monarch, driving Molten Fire City, can still forcefully break through, but only a Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast can genuinely block Molten Fire City.

In the past, the significant trouble Molten Fire City encountered, or the genuine crises in which it was ensnared, were caused by facing two or more Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts. Facing only one is still manageable.

Boom!

Chen Mu didn’t pay much attention to Lv He Divine Monarch, instead directing his gaze into the distance and acting again. Another beam of white Mirror Light shot out, this time enveloping a Seventh Layer Heaven Peak Abyss Beast.

The Mirror Light buzzed, unleashing terrifying power, crushing the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak Abyss Beast internally until the white Mirror Light dissipated, having completely obliterated it.

Seeing this scene.

Lv He Divine Monarch’s eyes widened slightly in astonishment, looking at Chen Mu: "Well done, Divine Monarch Mu."

To annihilate a Seventh Layer Heaven Peak Abyss Beast in a single move in a brief moment implies that Chen Mu also possesses the ability to destroy his own Divine Power True Body. This prowess is undoubtedly somewhat formidable!

Several epochs ago, when he defended the city with Chen Mu, back then, Chen Mu hadn’t displayed such strength. As far as he knew, Chen Mu’s strength was at the threshold of the Eighth Layer Heaven, but now it seems that it clearly isn’t limited to that!

The recent move, even if not reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, probably places him among the strongest in the Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch category.

So,

Has the Divine Monarch Mu already broken through? Taken that crucial step?!

"Congratulations to Divine Monarch Mu on advancing further."

After taking a deep breath, Lv He Divine Monarch couldn’t help but offer a congratulatory remark.

Comprehending the Three Profound Mysterious Fusion is undoubtedly a qualitative transformation. Previously, Chen Mu, relying on his Divine Body and accumulation in various aspects, barely reached the threshold of the Eighth Layer Heaven. If he couldn’t comprehend the Three Profound Mysterious Fusion, the gap between them wouldn’t be significant, and he’d remain stuck.

But once he passes that threshold, it represents a leap forward for Chen Mu. In the future, reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak won’t be very difficult, and after a long time, he might even reach the level of the Flame Sun Divine Monarch, the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit!

In comparison, having only recently reached the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak, the gap between him and Chen Mu has become significantly larger, inevitably adding a hint of awe in his heart.

Upon hearing Lv He Divine Monarch’s words, Chen Mu’s expression remained unchanged, merely nodding in acknowledgment.

He did not intentionally conceal his strength, or rather, there’s no need to hide his strength in the Flame Sun Association now. As long as he doesn’t enter the deep layers of the Molten Lava Cave, he can protect himself regardless of the situation, given his strength at the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit.

Even though Molten Fire City currently faces trouble from the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast, without Molten Fire City and the Flame Sun Association, relying on Chen Mu’s current power, he would find it easier to escape from this Giant Elephant Abyss Beast alone.

Boom! Boom!!!

The fierce battle continues, with battles erupting around Molten Fire City. Abyss Beasts emerge continuously, only to be slain or repelled by numerous Divine Monarchs of the Flame Sun Association.

In the fierce combat, Molten Fire City moves closer to the direction of the passage.

Three trillion miles,

Two trillion miles,

One trillion miles,

...

As the passage looms closer, the attacks on Molten Fire City intensify. The number of Abyss Beasts congregated in the Molten Lava Cave has reached a terrifying level, surging like a relentless tide.

Thousands of Seventh Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts continuously converge, mixed with hundreds of Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts.

Except for a few Divine Monarchs at critical seclusion points, most of the Flame Sun Association’s Divine Monarchs are gathered on the city walls, facing off against the overwhelming tide of Abyss Beast forces.

Seven hundred billion miles,

Five hundred billion miles,

Three hundred billion miles,

...

As time rapidly passes, Molten Fire City draws closer and closer to the passage.

The route chosen by the Flame Sun Divine Monarch leads to a descending passage that goes into a deeper layer of the Molten Lava Cave.

Seeing that less than a hundred billion miles remain, a distance virtually instantaneously reachable for Molten Fire City’s movement speed, the Divine Monarchs fiercely battling on the city walls suddenly changed their expressions one after another.

This included the Flame Sun Divine Monarch, Mo Yu Divine Monarch, and others combating the Ninth Layer Heaven Giant Elephant Abyss Beast, who also shifted their gazes toward the direction of the passage.

Everyone sensed a vast and vibrant surge of energy approaching from the distance towards Molten Fire City, fundamentally different from the Seventh and Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts and very similar to the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast.

A Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast!

The second Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast!

Generally, in shallow layer areas of the Abyss of Eternity like the Molten Lava Cave, Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts are scarce. Even intense battles rarely attract a second one unless it happens to be in the vicinity.

"Another one..."

Jingtian Divine Monarch’s eyes darkened slightly.

The last encounter with two Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts was a long time ago, and that situation was extremely perilous.

Facing this scenario again, the good news is that Molten Fire City is very close to the passage, virtually ready to enter it withstanding a round of assault from the two Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts, enabling escape to another layer and freeing from the crisis.

The bad news is that the second Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast is not approaching from another direction but charging head-on, seemingly having been prowling near the passage, adding even more peril to the current situation!
