Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1409: Chapter 678: Silent Annihilation (2)

In the next moment, a surge of Nine Layer Heavens’ Void power exploded, forming a nascent universe before him!

At the same time,

Numerous mystical materials were thrown into that nascent universe, beginning to be refined by the surging Void Force, aggregating with each other while the Void Dao’s light flowed over them, causing them to resonate.

The universe serves as the furnace, the Dao as the fire!

Of course, with Chen Mu’s current skill, such a description is somewhat presumptuous. The Void Dao Power he wielded was only an insignificant part of the true Void Dao. The move of using the universe as a furnace was merely a prototype, but it was sufficient for refining an upper divine weapon of the Nine Layer Heavens.

The refinement of Nine Layer Heavens Divine Weapons is different from that of mundane spirit weapons. Refining a mundane spirit weapon requires melting various materials to fuse them, whereas the essence of divine weapon materials is mystical items, a product of Dao power’s condensation. Therefore, the most crucial aspect in refining an upper divine weapon is to draw out the Dao power within, causing it to resonate and naturally fuse.

Sizzle!

One after another, mystical items, under the guidance of the Void Dao power manipulated by Chen Mu and led by various mystical forces, connected with each other, glowing as time passed, their forms evolving.

After an indeterminate amount of time, finally, all lights converged into one.

Swish.

With a thought, Chen Mu dispersed the miniature universe before him, revealing a piece of Void Divine Weapon emitting a faint glow within.

It was a blade, a long blade with a simple form, entirely dim and dark, resembling nothingness. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like a shadowless figure, nonexistent, yet a shift in vision made it seemingly real, as if oscillating between illusion and reality.

"Excellent."

Chen Mu gently beckoned, absorbing this seemingly illusionary long blade into his hand, and began to admire this divine weapon he personally forged, a hint of satisfaction on his face.

From the early days of his rise from obscurity, he practiced the blade technique, and now standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Layer Heavens God Realm, he still preferred using a blade, hence the divine weapon he forged himself remains blade-shaped.

Although,

Despite resembling a dim long blade in form, its essence was a forced compression of a miniature universe, forged and shaped into a blade using the supreme power of Nine Layer Heavens paired with various materials.

With a swing of the blade, worlds collapse and domains crumble; the terrifying Void Force contained within is boundless, focused purely on Void power, leaning towards destruction, unlike Molten Fire City.

It can be said,

This blade, with a single slash, wields the Void Force of Nine Layer Heavens, capable not just of easily destroying worlds, but ripping through vast domains like the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, causing domain barriers to shatter!

"The techniques I cultivate from the Void Lineage are ’Universe,’ with a focal point on suppression and confinement, lacking in destructive power. Hence, I forged this blade purely oriented towards destruction and named it Silent Annihilation."

Chen Mu simply named this divine weapon.

Observing the destruction of the Boundless Star River, he gained insights. During the blade’s creation process, he envisioned the theme of universe destruction, imagining the blade’s rise and fall, leading to universe silence!

Of course, all this was merely his imagination. Presently, when he raises the long blade, he naturally cannot achieve universe silence; at most, he can cause a boundary to collapse, a space domain to fragment, insignificant on the scale of the vast universe.

"The next path is to cultivate the Void Lineage’s other four mystical fusions."

Chen Mu exhaled lightly, stowing away the Silent Annihilation Blade.

Though possessing a handy divine weapon, he still opted not to wander the universe. With the system panel, he can continue progressing even in seclusion within the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, without seeking opportunities in perilous lands.

Since he can steadily progress step by step, there’s no need for reckless wandering. Although he now possesses great freedom across the vast universe, those dangerous secret realms pose little threat to him, he remains aware of his own situation; he is not a reincarnation of the Nine Layer Heaven, but himself, rising from obscurity, cultivating to this point in mere centuries!

Facing other strong Nine Layer Heaven practitioners, he fears none and is indifferent.

However,

Regarding those rumored supreme Dao Venerables, he holds some fear. He avoids chance encounters during reckless wandering, aware that such beings have fully comprehended the Dao, wielding the limitless power of the Origin Dao with ease, leaving little hidden from their gaze across the universe.

Chen Mu is unsure if such a Dao Venerable, when facing him, could detect his uniqueness, but he avoids risking exposure. His origins and the system panel are secrets never to be divulged.

Yet,

Chen Mu is aware of the unique nature of the system panel; its level traverses three kinds of Origin Dao, perhaps even a Dao Venerable would struggle to perceive its existence. Still, in mere hundreds of epochs, reaching Nine Layer Heavens was downright astonishing.

Though those Dao Venerables might not discern his past life or detect anomalies in the system panel, they certainly can see through the guise of ’reincarnation of Nine Layer Heaven’ and know he is not some Supreme Divine Monarch reincarnated.

Therefore,

For any reason, Chen Mu avoids encountering a Dao Venerable. The Nanhua Void, in the endless universe, is quite an ordinary space seat, miles away from the Primordial Domain, deemed a remote area, just right for further self-consolidation.

After temporarily gathering his thoughts, Chen Mu summoned the system panel with a thought.

At this moment, the most eye-catching feature on the system panel was the topmost description line.

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

[Experience: 0]

Void Lineage’s five mystical fusion!

After Chen Mu completed the four mystical fusion and entered Nine Layer Heavens, this directive appeared on the system panel, and fusing five mystics means comprehending the complete Void Dao!

Indeed, the path to becoming a supreme Dao Venerable has unfolded before Chen Mu!

However,

The accumulated experience remains at zero.

Even though Chen Mu attempted to comprehend the five mystical fusion during this period, striving for the complete Void Dao, no matter his attempts, he could not gain even the slightest bit of experience.

Evidently, reaching this final step is vastly different from previous cultivations. Chen Mu surmised he must fully comprehend the Void Lineage’s five and four mystical fusions, reaching Nine Layer Heavens Perfection, to qualify for touching the complete Dao.

For indeed,

Mastering the five mystical fusion poses the final layer of hindrance for the Void Dao and is foundational for comprehending the entire Void Dao—without reaching this stage, comprehending complete five mysterious fusion is akin to a castle in the air.

The system panel’s inability to accumulate any experience likely reflects its judgment—currently, he lacks the foundation to comprehend the five mysterious fusion and full Void Dao, hence failing to accumulate.

This actually doesn’t surprise Chen Mu.

The cultivation path itself is foundational, devoid of shortcuts or detours.

Utilizing the system panel to elevate realm and power seems like a shortcut, but in truth, it’s through his own effort, striving to comprehend and realize step by step, never having surpassed limitations.

The system panel merely simplifies the understanding of Dao, displaying it before him. Truly mastering such power still depends on his self-discovery and insight, making his accumulation solely reliant on himself legitimate.

Just as the Fan Gu Divine Monarch uses Void Origin Stones to enhance comprehension of the Void Dao.

The system panel likewise serves as a resource akin to Void Origin Stones, though of higher level and inherently elusive, surpassing tens of thousands of Void Origin Stones, matching no other special resource.

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

[Experience: 270,000 points]

"My grasp of the ’Splitting’ mystique is the shallowest, but to comprehend the other four mysterious fusions, ’Splitting’ mystique must be the foundation. Since this is so, then I shall start with this one."

Chen Mu shifted his gaze to the lower part of the system panel, locked onto one of the four mystical fusions, confirming his direction.
