Chapter 1384: Chapter 668: The Anxious Ancestral Demon Realm (Part 2)

In the vast universe, it isn’t unusual for Divine Monarchs with the same name to appear occasionally. However, the adjacency of the Sky Extreme Space Seat and Nanhua Void, along with Chen Mu’s name as the Mu Divine Monarch, which spread throughout the Nanhua Void only a few epochs ago, and the information that both belong to the Void Lineage, undoubtedly points to Chen Mu as the Mu Divine Monarch reigning over the Boundless Star River!

Eighth Layer Heaven Limit?

Shang Mang Demon Monarch and many Demon Clan Divine Monarchs, upon hearing this news, were almost incredulous.

Despite being certain that Chen Mu is a reincarnation of the Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, knowing they’ve entangled themselves with an immense trouble, aware that such a reincarnation aims to reach the pinnacle of the Eighth Layer Heaven, or even return to the Ninth Layer Heaven, some Demon Monarchs have even contemplated abandoning the Ancestral Demon Realm and the Ancestral Demon Space Domain, fleeing far away to avoid Chen Mu.

But most of these thoughts have yet to be implemented, as Chen Mu’s previously displayed power was only at the threshold of the Eighth Layer Heaven, and he was even jointly pursued by the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Monarch, insufficient to dominate a region.

Yet who would have thought that, in just a few dozen epochs, Chen Mu has reached the limit of the Eighth Layer Heaven, rampaging across the Sky Extreme Space Seat, carving out a formidable reputation, which has undoubtedly shocked the entire Demon Clan.

Now,

not just those Demon Monarchs, even the ordinary True Gods of the Demon Clan are aware of Chen Mu’s name, recognizing him as a future major adversary they’ve provoked, leaving them in a state of constant anxiety for a long time.

Especially those past attackers of the Da Xuan World like True Demon Mang, Wang, and even Ming Ghost.

Though Mang and Wang’s true bodies perished, their avatars were not destroyed, and Ming Ghost even retreated fully intact. Ever since Chen Mu gained fame in the Dark Sky Abyss, they have been uneasy, and upon Chen Mu revealing his Divine Monarch status, they were left in utter disbelief, finding it unimaginable that Chen Mu could achieve Divine Monarch in such a short time.

Divine Monarch,

that lofty height is above all living beings, the sovereign of God Realm beings!

Chen Mu becoming a Divine Monarch means he can easily crush them with a flick of his finger, like crushing ants. Their only hope lies in hiding within the Ancestral Demon Realm, thinking that even as a Divine Monarch, Chen Mu cannot enter the Ancestral Demon Realm.

But this hope, with Chen Mu subsequently showing even more terrifying strength, employing Eighth Layer Heaven techniques, and being regarded as a reincarnation of a Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, has turned their anxiety into despair.

Eighth Layer Heaven Overlord!

Ninth Layer Heaven Reincarnation!

Either identity can easily crush them countless times.

Even if they hide in the Ancestral Demon Realm, Chen Mu’s realm and level allow him to annihilate them through causality directly, and even a few Demon Monarchs might find it hard to protect them, as those Demon Monarchs simply would not deliberately safeguard them.

As the feats from the Boundless Star River spread, with Chen Mu already becoming a God Sovereign Overlord at the limit of the Eighth Layer Heaven, rampant across the vast universe, Ming Ghost and Mang, Wang, and others’ hanging hearts were completely crushed.

How did things end up this way?

Throughout the endless years, Ming Ghost, Mang, Wang, and others have pondered this question more than once.

Clearly, it was just executing a plundering mission, yet how did they get involved in Divine Monarch disputes, even provoking a terrifying existence reincarnated from the Ninth Layer Heaven, causing the entire Demon Clan to feel an impending doom?

Though they are still alive now,

perhaps,

from the moment in the distant past when they invaded the Da Xuan World and provoked Chen Mu, they were already dead, dead in the future, dead in the predetermined end.

This is dictated by fate!

This is the cold judgment of the few remaining tribes in the Ancestral Demon Space Domain on Ming Ghost and others, and the entire Demon Clan.

The Way of Cause and Effect runs through the vast universe. It is part of Creation, one of the fundamental laws of the Endless Universe. Wanton plundering, wanton killing often leads to a backlash from the Endless Universe, bearing this great causality.

Among many space domains, the Demon Clan is the most violent and brutal, having turned almost the entire Ancestral Demon Space Domain into a slaughterhouse, enslaving or wantonly slaughtering all beings of different races born within it. Such brutal acts may not cause immediate changes, but over the long years, the accumulated causality will eventually form a severe backlash, and in the eyes of many space domains and forces, Chen Mu is the backlash against the Demon Clan!

It is their wanton slaughter and plunder that provoked Chen Mu, this reincarnated Divine Monarch!

...

The panic of the Demon Clan is unknown to Chen Mu.

Multiple Demon Clan Divine Monarchs are already prepared to abandon the Ancestral Demon Space Domain and escape to other lands, which Chen Mu is also unaware of.

Even if he knew, he might not care much, because fate is predetermined, causality dictates, and those who ever provoked him could never escape the web of this causality, whether they are insignificant figures like Mang, Wang, Ming Ghost, or powerful Divine Monarchs like Shang Mang, and the Demon Ancestor, they will fall under his sight sooner or later.

Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, to the edge of the universe, they cannot escape.

Therefore,

Chen Mu does not care.

Right now, his focus is solely on one thing, which is comprehending the Four Mystical Fusion and stepping into the Nine Layers Heaven.

"Void Origin Stone."

After briefly organising everything that transpired, Chen Mu temporarily suppressed the emerging spiritual lights and inspirations in his mind, and took out that peculiar resource obtained from the Boundless Star River, the Void Origin Stone.

This peculiar item is a consumable of the Void Lineage, incapable of lasting long in the world, it will naturally dissipate within one or two epochs at most, hence even though inspirations and insights continuously surfaced in his heart now, Chen Mu still took out this Void Origin Stone.

At this moment,

Chen Mu’s eyes endlessly replayed the scene of the final destruction of the Boundless Star River, one after another, inspiration grew in his heart; after taking a deep breath, he looked again at the Void Origin Stone in his hand.

"Hope it brings more surprises."

With the extremely rare and precious item, the Void Origin Stone of the Void Lineage, coupled with his insights gained from the destruction of the Boundless Star River, and the triggers from that scene, all these converged to hopefully bring him abundant mystical experience of the Void Dao!

Without much hesitation, Chen Mu raised his hand and flung the Void Origin Stone towards his forehead.

Buzz.

The Void Origin Stone lightly struck Chen Mu’s brow, but made no sound. It seemed like a stone but upon contact with Chen Mu, it transformed into an intangible illusion, quietly merging in.

It was almost at the moment of contact between his divine power and the Void Origin Stone that it burst, turning into countless lines of the Void that surged in all directions within Chen Mu’s body, permeating into his every strand of divine power!

At this moment,

even more complex and vast notions of the void roiled fiercely in Chen Mu’s consciousness, with insights overwhelming in waves. As he absorbed and understood them continuously, the experience accumulation on his system panel regarding Mysteries Fusion kept surging.

[Mysteries Fusion: Aggregation, Extension, Infinite, Overlap]

[Experience: 4.44 million points]

...

[Experience: 4.48 million points]

...

[Experience: 4.97 million points]

In the deeply immersive state Chen Mu was now, he hardly felt the passage of time, for a God Sovereign, time is irrelevant, and even more so for an Eighth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch like him.

Amid what would be unimaginable long epochs to ordinary people, in the blink of an eye for Chen Mu, they passed.

[Mysteries Fusion: Aggregation, extension, infinite, overlap]

[Experience: 7.44 million points]

Thanks to the Void Origin Stone and the insights brought by the demise of the Boundless Star River, his experience and realization surged exponentially in a short span through its infusion.
