Chapter 1433: Chapter 689: Chen Mu Takes Action

“Just in time.”

Chen Mu gazed at the exotic insects attacking from all directions, his brows slightly furrowed. He had been immersing himself in comprehending the power of the Creation Dao, resulting in a momentary lapse in awareness of his surroundings, leading to an unexpected encounter with the insect tide.

Compared to other types of dangers, an insect tide is very troublesome. If one cannot escape it, death is almost certain. However, from another perspective, even if he were to fall to the insect tide, it would only result in the loss of an avatar, not affecting his true body.

In Wuxiang City, the sole absolute taboo is the Wuxiang River itself, an area that must never be ventured into. Falling into the river brings great terrors, affecting all true bodies and avatars.

However,

although losing a Void Avatar is not significant for Chen Mu, he has been rooted in this boundary of Wuxiang City for quite some time, becoming familiar with the various conditions here. It has provided a very suitable and stable period for cultivation, allowing him to steadily progress to the Realm of Dao Venerable.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for him to allow this Void Avatar to fall. Losing an avatar not only means losing the Origin Power it carries but also means that the next entry into the Source Realm may not lead him back to Wuxiang City.

The Source Realm consists of many regions, each different from the other, and every entry leads to a different place. If he were to end up in some strange areas, delaying his comprehension of the Void Dao, it would be unacceptable.

Therefore,

once Chen Mu realized the situation, he immediately took action, simultaneously perceiving the state of the insect tide and acting in cooperation with the Wind Divine Monarch. After a brief investigation, he quickly and resolutely stated:

“There’s a gap to the east!”

In his perception, except for the direction of the Wuxiang River, other directions, including east, west, and south, were all under assault by exotic insects. The direction of the Wuxiang River was clearly an option to be excluded. Even if it seemed peaceful, with no insects emerging from that direction, the Wuxiang River is a domain that all members of the Wind Association, including Chen Mu, do not wish to venture into.

After all, being surrounded by exotic insects might at most result in the loss of an avatar, and even for individuals like Guanglie Divine Monarch, who are here in their Divine Power True Bodies, it would at most mean the loss of a Divine Power True Body. Despite the significant loss, at least their lives wouldn’t be in danger.

But venturing into the Wuxiang River, even if everyone could traverse the void, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Other than the Wuxiang River, both the west and south are being attacked by swarms of exotic insects, while only the east has fewer insects, and they have not yet formed a complete encirclement.

“Break through to the east!”

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s words, the Wind Divine Monarch, with a solemn expression, gave the order without hesitation.

Within his perception range, the east also had noticeably fewer insects.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The Wind Divine Monarch took the lead, his figure flickering and appearing several yards away, using the teleportation techniques of the Void Lineage, while Chen Mu closely followed, crossing several yards with each step.

As for Guanglie Divine Monarch and the numerous Divine Monarchs of the Creation Lineage, they lagged slightly behind, only able to follow from the rear.

Buzz.

The Wind Divine Monarch was the first to arrive in the eastern direction, ahead of the scattered insect swarm. At this moment, over a dozen exotic insects pounced toward him. Each insect was the size of a fist, exuding a highly unpleasant aura.

As these exotic insects approached the Wind Divine Monarch, they flapped their wings, and a large expanse of gray toxic mist immediately spread out. Where the mist extended, the void sizzled, appearing extremely eerie, as if penetrating into the depths of the void itself. Even the Wind Divine Monarch’s void traversal was forcibly interrupted, unable to penetrate this layer of toxic mist.

“Heavenly Net Seal!”

The Wind Divine Monarch, recognizing the urgent situation, acted without hesitation, unleashing a fierce divine power with a low shout.

In past hunts, he usually took a central role, employing void techniques to cooperate with Chen Mu in suppressing exotic beasts, leaving Guanglie Divine Monarch and others responsible for the kills. However, this time, he resorted to his nearly kept-in-reserve killing technique.

Boom!!

A sudden imperial seal flew from the Wind Divine Monarch’s palm, imprinting itself into the void. The void buzzed, forming a visible indentation, and a surge of power gathered into a profound seal imprint, pressing toward the eerie gray mist.

The collision between the imprint and the mist produced no explosive sound but instead resembled a drop of water landing in a hot oil pan, causing the entire pan to boil instantly with crackling sounds, while the mist sizzled.

All the over a dozen exotic insects shivered, although they didn’t all fall from the sky, they were all suppressed!

The full-force attack of the Wind Divine Monarch temporarily suppressed over a dozen exotic insects. Although individually slightly weaker than exotic beasts, the combined strength of these insects was something even Guanglie Divine Monarch and others could not break through.

While the Wind Divine Monarch was temporarily suppressing over a dozen exotic insects, causing the situation to momentarily stall, Chen Mu’s figure flickered slightly, appearing beside the Wind Divine Monarch in the next moment.

No need for the Wind Divine Monarch’s reminders; at this level of comprehension and after numerous hunts, their coordination was naturally very tacit.

“Void Break.”

While the Wind Divine Monarch temporarily subdued over a dozen exotic insects, Chen Mu lightly raised his right hand, and the Silent Annihilation Blade fell into his hand. With a sudden forward slash, a Void Slash was instantly unleashed.
