Chapter 1426: Chapter 685: Hunting (Part 2)

This person is indeed already halfway through the dual meridian cultivation path.

However,

in dual meridian cultivation, unless the other meridian is also perfected and further recognized by the Origin Dao, the enhancement in power is not significant, and the strength does not increase much, at most the skill improves slightly.

Thus, the progress of Guanglie Divine Monarch isn’t that impressive; at least when he masters the Four Profound Mysteries fusion of the Void Lineage, it can be said that he’s just a step away from Double Vein Perfection, and only truly stepping into Double Vein Perfection would be considered a significant leap.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The other Divine Monarchs didn’t stay idle either. Following closely after Guanglie Divine Monarch, they all began to attack fiercely, causing the Grey Shadow Lizard to roar angrily, but under the double suppression of the Wind Divine Monarch and Chen Mu, it couldn’t move at all, and its attack methods were suppressed by Guanglie Divine Monarch, leaving it as nothing more than a punching bag for everyone’s attacks.

After nearly a quarter of an hour of relentless bombardment, the roars of the Grey Shadow Lizard finally grew weaker, and its neck scales were forcefully pierced through, its entire neck almost completely severed, and its life force finally began to dissipate.

"Completely unable to move, not even able to defend itself, taking turns being bombarded by over a dozen Nine Layer Heavens Perfection level Divine Monarchs for nearly a quarter of an hour before it was killed. The troublesome nature of this exotic beast is truly extraordinary."

Chen Mu stared at the now dead Grey Shadow Lizard, yet his expression didn’t show much relaxation; instead, his gaze was rather serious.

It’s merely an exotic beast that possesses Three Profound Mysteries fusion of a low-grade Primordial Power. In terms of Realm level, its rank can only be compared to an Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch, but its difficulty to kill is far beyond what an Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch can handle.

Even an Eighth Layer Heaven Limit Divine Monarch Dominator, under siege by over a dozen Nine Layer Heavens Perfection Divine Monarchs, would be instantly annihilated, without any possibility of resisting, yet this exotic beast withstood for a full quarter of an hour.

Clearly,

Primordial Power has a strong resistance to a single Power of Dao.

"Very good, this Grey Shadow Lizard’s body is composed of the Three Profound Mysteries fusion Primordial Power, worth at least fifty Source Stones. This first hunt has already proven lucrative, likely to be a bountiful harvest!"

After inspecting the corpse of the Grey Shadow Lizard, Wind Divine Monarch revealed a smile.

"Hahaha, with Brother Chen’s addition to this hunt, a plentiful harvest is only natural."

Someone in the team laughed and said.

It wasn’t mere flattery, but indeed with Chen Mu there is a noticeable difference.

For instance, with this Grey Shadow Lizard, relying only on Wind Divine Monarch’s void techniques would be unable to completely suppress it, and it might retain a bit of mobility. Moreover, being just about twenty yards away from the Wuxiang River, and extremely tough and resilient, there was a chance it might forcibly crawl back to the river bit by bit.

But with Chen Mu in the mix, the suppression by the two Void Perfection techniques made the Grey Shadow Lizard completely lose its ability to move, unable to even approach the Wuxiang River a single step, resulting in an inevitable fate of being slain.

Wind Divine Monarch also smiled, looking at Chen Mu and said: "Brother Chen indeed has great credit."

Chen Mu slightly shook his head, saying, "I’m just going with the flow."

Swoosh.

Wind Divine Monarch stored the corpse of the Grey Shadow Lizard.

Compared to the Creation Lineage, the Void Lineage Divine Monarchs have some differences, mainly that here, only Void Perfection level Divine Monarchs can barely open a small personal space to store their hunted game.

The others, even Guanglie Divine Monarch who has mastered two Void Lineage Four Profound Mysteries fusion techniques, cannot open a personal space because the void suppression force in Wuxiang City is too strong. Additionally, everyone’s bodies here were forcibly molded into flesh and blood forms, so while their strength hasn’t changed, the change in form means they can’t use their divine bodies to store items.

"Let’s go."

Wind Divine Monarch looked at everyone; seeing they were in good condition and didn’t need adjustment, he spoke out, while also directing his gaze to Chen Mu, saying, "Brother Chen, follow at the end of the team next and be on guard for any situation at the rear."

"Alright."

Listening to Wind Divine Monarch’s words, Chen Mu had no objections, nodding calmly in agreement.

Wind Divine Monarch led the others forward, while Chen Mu this time stayed at the back of the team, extending his void perception behind to probe the situation in the rear, ensuring no exotic beast was stealthily tailing or monitoring them.

Normally in the outside universe, with a single thought, Chen Mu’s detecting power in the void wouldn’t necessarily cover an entire Space Seat, but at least any breeze or grass movement within a Space Domain couldn’t escape his detection; the Space Domain itself is vast, exceedingly so, beyond billions of miles.

But in Wuxiang City,

his void perception range is only about three hundred yards.

This is actually already very powerful, even surpassing Wind Divine Monarch. When that Grey Shadow Lizard appeared, Chen Mu had actually noticed it earlier, but he didn’t speak up immediately and instead observed the Grey Shadow Lizard for a bit. Only when Wind Divine Monarch also noticed it did Chen Mu follow suit.

According to Chen Mu’s judgment, Wind Divine Monarch’s void perception range should be between one hundred fifty to two hundred yards. The reason Chen Mu’s perception is stronger than Wind Divine Monarch’s is clearly because he possesses a Perfect Divine Body of the Void Lineage, being a Nine Layer Heavens Great Perfection of the Void Lineage, even though here his form was forcibly changed to a flesh and blood form, all his traits were retained.

...

Wuxiang River, by the riverbank.

About a thirty-yard distance, a pitch-black snake coiled there.

Suddenly the void buzzed, erupting with intense ripples, a surge of void force instantly forming a microcosmic world, descending to suppress, covering the black snake within.

"Hiss!"

The black snake instantly became enraged, attempting to raise its body, but immediately another void force descended, transforming into a white light sphere that encircled it, suppressing its entire body within.

Under the suppression by two Void Lineage techniques, the black snake suddenly seemed bogged down in a quagmire, its movements extremely sluggish. Realizing something was wrong, it arduously twisted its head, trying to burrow downwards.

Beneath its coiled body, there was a jet-black hole, just large enough for it to burrow into.

"Don’t even think about it!"

Before the black snake could utilize this hole to escape, a cold shout rang out as a Divine Hammer smashed sideways, knocking its head askew, preventing it from burrowing straight into the hole.

This was immediately followed by a flurry of attacks with intertwined lights and shadows; there were black and white Life and Death Lights, and surging Power of All Forms, which, after a commotion, completely submerged the black snake.

After battling fiercely for nearly an hour, the black snake ultimately failed to escape through the hole beneath its coiled position. Under the team’s joint suppression, it was thoroughly slain on the spot.

"Good."

"The fifth one, this journey truly is going smoothly!"

Wind Divine Monarch came over from the side, looking at the black snake’s corpse, a smile appearing on his face.

Previously when going out hunting, although having him lead the team offered some assurance of success, it couldn’t guarantee success every time. Often after hunting three to five times, there would be a failure once.

But with Chen Mu joining, all five consecutive hunting attempts succeeded without a single exotic beast escaping!

Especially like this time, although the black snake seemed far from the Wuxiang River, beneath where it coiled was a cave. Once it burrowed inside, it would inevitably escape.

Without Chen Mu, the group might not have been able to stop it, perhaps it would forcibly burrow into the cave despite enduring many attacks and escape. But with Chen Mu’s void suppression, the black snake’s movements were greatly slowed, and it ultimately couldn’t escape.

Generally speaking,

after capturing five prey, this round of hunting is considered complete. Although one could continue, the risk and reward start to mismatch; if anything major happens, one might have to abandon all previous gains.

But this time, with Chen Mu’s participation, Wind Divine Monarch gained some ideas, maybe they could boost efficiency and return after hunting six or seven corpses, especially given the significantly improved success rate compared to before.
