Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1412: Chapter 679: Beginning of the End of Tribulation (Part 3)

To fall to an Illusion Beast’s maw is to truly perish!

Thus, when encountering an Illusion Beast, one often prioritizes escape over confrontation, avoiding using sheer willpower unless absolutely necessary.

However,

this Illusion Beast was exceedingly terrifying, its erupting might reaching the Seventh Layer Heaven. With a single strike, even the technique employed by Hong Lin was instantly shattered, including Hua Nongyue, who was devoured in one gulp!

“This is illusion, this is illusion.”

Seeing no means of resistance, Hua Nongyue immediately focused her will and closed her eyes.

Illusion Beasts of such power often have advantages and disadvantages; the stronger the Illusion Beast, the more unreasonable it seems, making it easier for one’s mind to deem it an illusion. However, among the multitude of illusions in the Floating Dream Realm, there exists a fraction of reality, and indeed, real Illusion Beasts do exist!

Yet those are extremely rare and are not called Illusion Beasts but are known as ‘True Beasts.’

Hua Nongyue was convinced that the giant serpent before her was certainly not a True Beast.

Buzz!

When she closed her eyes and blocked all perception, everything turned quiet. When she regained her senses, everything in sight vanished, and she was still surrounded by the colorful illusion mist.

Except for holding Hua Nongying’s hand, the previous Illusion Beast and even Hong Lin had disappeared.

“So Hong Lin, the Vice Hall Master, was also an illusion, it seems.”

Hua Nongyue murmured softly, then turned her head to look at Hua Nongying beside her, but this glance made her pupils widen in shock.

Hua Nongying had her eyes closed, brows furrowed, her face pale, still reflecting a state of terror as if she had faced something extremely frightening. Suddenly, her entire aura began to collapse, the divine power around her rapidly dissipating.

Not good!

Did Xiao Ying fail to discern that the giant serpent Illusion Beast was an illusion?!

Hua Nongyue’s expression changed drastically. She knew that dying within an illusion was an extremely severe situation; if one couldn’t awaken, both the body and the avatar would entirely collapse!

Without any hesitation, Hua Nongyue decisively flipped her hand and took out the Great Xuan Order, activating it directly!

She dared not use her avatar anymore to seek help from Chen Mu but planned to use the Great Xuan Order to leave the Floating Dream Realm directly, taking Hua Nongying out. As long as they left here, they would be free from the illusion’s influence and quickly recover.

The Great Xuan Order did not disappoint her; it was instantly activated, subsequently taking her and vanishing far away.

Shush.

In the next moment, the familiar scene of the Da Xuan World appeared within her sight, and at the same time, the rapidly dissipating life force of Hua Nongying she was holding immediately halted its dispersal and began to converge again.

“…Sister?”

Hua Nongying slowly opened her eyes, looking somewhat puzzled at Hua Nongyue, and in the next moment, she seemed to understand what had happened. Her expression first tightened, then she let out a sigh of relief, saying, “The deepest part of the Floating Dream Realm is indeed treacherous. Fortunately, the Great Xuan Order can still shatter the void for teleportation.”

“Yes, the Great Xuan Order from His Eminence is unstoppable within the Nanhua Void.”

Seeing Hua Nongying return to her usual self, Hua Nongyue also relaxed slightly and said, “This Floating Dream Realm is too perilous. We should settle ourselves for a while before considering further trials.”

Hua Nongying nodded with a serious expression, then walked off with Hua Nongyue.

…

Da Xuan World.

Within a certain palace.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged in the nihility, breathing in and out the abyssal Void Force. After an unclear length of time, he opened his eyes slowly and glanced at the system panel.

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

[Experience: 0]

“As expected, using ordinary methods cannot lead me forward.”

Seeing the system panel’s Five Mysterious Fusion experience still at zero, Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

After more than three thousand epochs,

through the Void Lineage’s five kinds of Four Profound Mysteries Fusion, relying on the system panel’s support, he had comprehended them all!

Now he had ascended to the realm of Great Perfection in the Ninth Layer of Single Vein and already laid the foundation to comprehend the Five Mysterious Fusion or the complete Void Dao!

Yet,

despite so much time passing, no matter how he tried to comprehend the complete Void Dao or the Five Mysterious Fusion, he could never obtain any experience from the system panel, something previously unheard of.

“The Five Mysterious Fusion is the complete Void Dao, and to comprehend the complete Void Dao, simply comprehending the universe’s facade can no longer yield any gains. Only by stepping into the source can one seek the path forward…”

Chen Mu whispered to himself.

In fact, he had almost confirmed the reason for the lack of experience gain: to comprehend the complete Void Dao, one naturally needs to approach the root of the Void Dao or directly observe its origin.

But the origin of the Void Dao is not so easy to observe; it lies deep within the Ninth Layer Void, a place even the Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs find difficult to approach, only able to reach a highly special location at most.

Its name is—Source Realm!

Just as each space domain has a source land, and each space seat has a source domain… in this vast universe, within the endless void, there is likewise a counterpart to the original Primordial Domain called the Source Realm.

Within the universe, nearly countless Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs will eventually gather in the Primordial Domain, converging in the Source Realm, because only there can they glimpse the origin of the Great Dao and tread upon the path of the Venerable!

“Must I also go to the Source Realm?”

Chen Mu slowly rose, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze deep as he stared into the distant void.

In terms of power, now he had comprehended the Four Profound Mysteries Fusion of the Void Lineage and possessed a Perfect Divine Body; one could say he had attained Great Perfection in the Ninth Layer of Single Vein. His strength was similar to that of the Double Veins Ninth Layer, and even facing the Three Veins Ninth Layer, he had the ability to protect himself, not invincible below the Venerable, but at least there was nothing beneath a Venerable that could threaten him.
