Chapter 1432: Chapter 688: Double Vein Perfection (Part 2)

Now he is but one step away from Double Vein Perfection, thus he won’t entirely abandon it and focus solely on comprehending the Void Dao, for refining the Creation Lineage to Nine Layer Heavens Perfection is like pushing a boat along with the current.

After briefly gathering his thoughts, Chen Mu didn’t hesitate much. With a thought, he chose to advance, instantly clearing the experience on the system panel, replaced by the wondrous and intricate presentation of the mystical fusion of All Spirits, Creation, Causality, and All Forms, unraveling like pulling silk from a cocoon before him.

He didn’t know how much time had passed,

when a voice came from outside.

“Brother Chen Mu, Brother Wind has gathered the troop, preparing to hunt outside the city.”

In the Silent Chamber, after a brief moment of silence, Chen Mu’s eyes reflected the mystical aspects of the Creation Lineage, and he calmly said, “I know.”

The use of the system panel to comprehend the Four Mysterious Fusion of the Creation Lineage doesn’t hinder his hunting outside; as long as he hasn’t fully understood this fusion, the mystical insights presented by the system panel won’t fade and can be pondered at any time.

…

Wuxiang Riverbank.

In a certain spot.

Led by Wind Divine Monarch, numerous Divine Monarchs are besieging a Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast.

This Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast, facing the dual Void techniques suppression from Wind Divine Monarch and Chen Mu, and the assault by many Divine Monarchs of the Wind Association, is hardly able to move. It continuously roars, struggling to approach the riverbank, yet finds moving difficult.

It has been a while since Chen Mu joined the Wind Association. A Nine Layer Heavens Perfection Divine Monarch withdrew from the association for reasons, but simultaneously six new members joined, considerably boosting the overall strength.

Each hunting trip roughly gathers around twenty people.

The quantity of Nine Layer Heavens Perfection Divine Monarchs has increased, naturally boosting the success rate of the hunt. Though more people share the spoils, the number of exotic beasts hunted each time has also increased, now consistently at about eight per hunt.

Boom!

Finally, with another blast, the Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast collapses, its bulging eyeballs burst, exploding into a haze of blood, unable to rise again as its life force gradually fades away.

Seeing this, Guanglie Divine Monarch and many other Divine Monarchs from the Wind Association withdraw their hands, each showing smiles.

This Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast is relatively special compared to ordinary exotic beasts, being large enough in size that its typical value can reach around a hundred Source Stones, comparatively high for an ordinary exotic beast. Successfully capturing it is naturally a joy since nothing unexpected occurred in the process.

Throughout the long years, numerous hunts have seen all sorts of unexpected situations. Sometimes, when it’s seemingly about to kill an exotic beast, Wuxiang River suddenly ripples, its waters sweep along the bank, instantly forcing everyone to retreat and abandon the prey that’s nearly within grasp.

Or when another exotic beast suddenly springs from the river to attack, making it impossible to control two exotic beasts simultaneously, ultimately leading to both escaping.

These things are indeed plentiful.

Wind Divine Monarch looked at the fallen Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast, slightly relieved and showing some joy. Despite the beast being immobilized by them, it was quite close to Wuxiang River, merely about ten zhang away. The chance of an unexpected incident happening at this position was very high, and once it occurs, there’s often no room for maneuver and one has to abandon the prey and retreat promptly.

However, just as Wind Divine Monarch was about to inspect the Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast, his expression suddenly froze slightly. He glanced sideways at Chen Mu beside him, faintly sensing an unusual aura emanating from Chen Mu.

It was a strand of Creation Power, seemingly uncontrolled by Chen Mu, suddenly diffusing.

But,

in the next moment, that strand of diffused Creation Power swiftly vanished into the invisible, and Chen Mu also snapped back from a slight daze, noticing Wind Divine Monarch’s curious gaze, he slightly nodded to him, saying, “This Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast had some intriguing methods, giving me some inspiration.”

“Indeed, exotic beast methods vary, sometimes granting insights to people.”

Wind Divine Monarch nodded slightly upon hearing Chen Mu’s words.

Though Chen Mu is a Divine Monarch of the Void Lineage, it’s very normal for him to comprehend the Creation Lineage. After all, progressing from Single Vein Perfection to Double Vein Perfection is a path of strengthening, and the vast majority of Creation Divine Monarchs in the Wind Association are also comprehending the Void Lineage.

Seeing Chen Mu’s earlier demeanor, it seems like he truly gained some sudden insight, although the way it came, from the Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast’s peculiar methods, is somewhat bewildering… But Wind Divine Monarch didn’t probe deeper; the path of cultivation varies for everyone, each having unique thoughts and insights, so myriad strangeness is quite normal.

“This Giant Crocodile, I reckon its value as one hundred Source Stones without issue.”

Wind Divine Monarch walked to the corpse of the Exotic Beast, inspected it for a moment with a smile on his face, then stored away the Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast, turning to the others and said, “Well then, including this Giant Crocodile, we’ve harvested eight exotic beasts this trip, it’s time to head back.”

“It’s about right.”

“Indeed.”

Many Divine Monarchs of the Wind Association responded nodding.

Chen Mu also slightly nodded in agreement.

However, his thoughts weren’t on that Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast, but his entire mind was flowing along with a boundless majestic power within a vast river, only now has his thoughts stabilized again.

Just earlier, the Fifth Four Mysterious Fusion of his Creation Lineage had finally been comprehended by him, and at that instant, he received recognition from the Creation Origin Dao, immediately enhancing his control over Creation Power.

Without thought, breaking through illusion!

This is the innate ability received after refining the Creation Dao to Nine Layer Heavens Perfection and gaining further acknowledgment of the Creation Dao, a power that all Creation Lineage Nine Layer Heavens Perfection Divine Monarchs possess.

This is the preliminary unity of Creation Lineage’s methods, reaching this step, then life and death, cause and effect, all actions without form, all transform into thought, and thought arises from the heart; hence one thought exists, another does not, without thought and intention, breaks all illusions!

In other words, upon reaching Nine Layer Heavens Perfection of the Creation Lineage, you acquire a strong suppressive power against those Creation Nine Heavens who haven’t reached this Realm. Whether the methods involve causality or life and death, they can be transformed from ‘real’ to ‘false’ in a mere thought, thus breaking through illusions.

These methods are not limited to targeting beings of lower Realms; they can also be used against fellow Nine Layer Heavens Perfection Divine Monarchs, freely altering essence, confusing all, shifting real and false, which of course is a method of the Creation Dao.

Why does he, as part of the Void Lineage, only focus on suppression each hunt?

Because if he truly attacked the exotic beast, the damage a Void Lineage Divine Monarch could inflict is indeed inferior to that of the Creation Lineage. The Creation Lineage’s ability to break through illusions is more adept at penetrating the Primordial Power of the exotic beast to inflict substantial damage.

“So this is Double Vein Perfection…”

Chen Mu felt the transformation of his strength, murmuring to himself.

At this moment,

he experiences a form of power not limited to the strength of the Void Lineage.

Like Wind Divine Monarch, though also in Double Vein Perfection, without a Perfect Divine Body, his strength is indeed somewhat inferior. If he encounters that Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast alone, it would be tough to hunt it solely with his capability.

Yet now Chen Mu can!

One hand in Void, the other in Creation, he can alone suppress that Giant Crocodile Exotic Beast and personally slay it!

In Wuxiang City, even Divine Monarchs with Double Vein Perfection can’t hunt alone, but those with Double Vein Perfection and Three Veins Perfection can.

But.

Before Chen Mu could fully experience the transformation of strength, Wind Divine Monarch suddenly exclaimed.

“Not good! Quickly, move!”

Chen Mu was just mulling over his advanced Creation Lineage method, momentarily unaware of the nearby Void, but hearing Wind Divine Monarch’s voice, he instantly sensed around him and immediately detected something amiss.

In his perception, approximately tens of zhang away, a mass of exotic beast aura appears. It’s a swarm of deep red flying insects, emerging from unknown places, now encircling them from all sides!

Indeed one of the numerous hazardous situations of Wuxiang River, an Insect Tide!

Wuxiang River holds many dangerous scenarios like tidal surges, thunder strikes, all equally troublesome, with Insect Tide being one of them. Although these insects are individually weak, even more so than typical exotic beasts, their sheer numbers are astonishing.

Typically, whenever it appears, it involves hundreds or even thousands, and if caught in its encirclement, even those in Double Vein Perfection will struggle to escape!
