Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1525: Chapter 732: Universe Creation

At a certain location within the gradually dissipating Source Sea.

Several Dao Venerables gathered here, with one person seated at the head, cross-legged in the void, as if surrounded by three kinds of Origin Daos manifesting as illusory rivers reflecting on each other, emitting rays of brilliance.

He is the Hall Master of the Vast Divine Palace, who rose in the current era, standing alongside the Primordial Palace Master and the Primordial Lord.

"Supreme."

Suddenly, a Dao Venerable opened his eyes abruptly, looking at the Vast Venerable, a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

The Vast Venerable slowly raised his brows, glanced at the person, his gaze calm, and said indifferently, "I am aware, every person has their fate, there is no need to be overly surprised. In the vast universe, across endless ages and long cycles of reincarnation, there may still be countless more brilliant individuals."

Chen Mu’s rise is indeed astonishing, leaping from a newly ascended Dao Venerable to the level of Supreme Venerable in a short span of time, even faster than my own pace. But as I said, in the vast universe and boundless reincarnation, there will always be extremely outstanding individuals. I am one of them, and so is Chen Mu.

The adjacent Dao Venerables of the Vast Divine Palace exchanged glances, their eyes still revealing astonishment, even though the Vast Venerable was quite composed about Chen Mu’s sudden emergence, their hearts were turbulent.

After all,

Most of them are Dao Venerables who rose in the current era, formerly acquaintances of the Vast Venerable, and their existence predates Chen Mu by far. Yet among them, some have still not grasped the second Origin Dao.

As everyone showed varied expressions, thoughts swirling in their minds, the Vast Venerable cast his gaze upon the void, vaguely reflecting a trace of Chen Mu’s figure, murmuring softly in his heart.

"Chen Mu..."

"To rise to such heights in so short a time, you must have had a special fate."

"In the current universe, the Island Master of Time and Space is decaying, the Primordial Palace Master is aging. Once both transform into rules, it will be us three who dominate the universe. Yet who among us can step into transcendence?"

Having risen to prominence before Chen Mu’s sudden emergence, becoming the most astonishing Supreme Venerable in the vast universe, the Vast Venerable indeed had his opportunities.

He received the inheritance from an ancient Supreme Venerable who had become one with the rules. He acquired the Primordial Treasure left by this Supreme Venerable, using it to conquer and dominate the Origin Realm during its initial creation, suppressing a myriad of races, ultimately proving his Dao as a Venerable, and ascending rapidly to the level of Supreme Venerable.

There are actually many such inheritances from Supreme Venerables.

However,

These inheritances are often hidden deep within the Dao or left outside the universe, elusive even to Dao Venerables, for these Supreme Venerables, in essence, didn’t perish but had their wills completely assimilated by the Dao, becoming part of the rules of the Origin Dao.

Thus, their Primordial Treasures remain "possessed" and cannot be seized by others. Many even remelt into the Origin River, becoming part of it.

The Vast Venerable was extremely fortunate, not being a native of this universe, but from another foreign realm. His arrival caused a slight disruption in the Origin Dao of this universe, triggering a chain of events that allowed him to receive the complete inheritance from an ancient Supreme Venerable by chance.

It seems now,

that the likewise rising Chen Mu might have also received a great fortune like him.

However, he doesn’t intend to inquire for now. With a long future ahead, both he and Chen Mu, as new Supreme Venerables, will stand at the pinnacle of the universe for tens or hundreds of cycles of reincarnation. Some intersections will inevitably happen, so there is no need to rush to engage Chen Mu in discourse.

...

Above the Origin River.

Chen Mu’s Life Star, floating on the river’s surface, is like a radiant lotus platform, containing numerous former acquaintances from the Da Xuan World and some prominent members of the younger generation.

Most had closed their eyes, sitting cross-legged in the center, waiting for the universe to open anew. While Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and others who reached the Nine Layer Heavens as Divine Monarchs, observed the process from Silent Annihilation to Resurrection.

Through their eyes, they could also perceive the magnificent, vast changes of the Source Sea.

At this moment,

the Source Sea, once vast and boundless at its creation, seemed to gradually thin, like sea water initially in liquid form, now slowly being drawn out, dimming noticeably.

Especially its edges, which began to contract inward.

Yet even Dao Venerables could not perceive the internal landscapes of the Source Sea from the outside, let alone Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and others. They could only observe the transitional changes from a macroscopic level as the universe moved from ultimate annihilation to another creation.

In this state,

who knew how much time had passed.

Suddenly, within the entire Life Star, everyone, including Chen Yue, Chen Yao—observing the Source Sea’s changes—and Xu Hongyu, silently waiting for the universe’s recreation, opened their eyes, each showing expressions of surprise.

In their view, there hadn’t been significant changes in the Source Sea, but the continuous radiance of Chen Mu’s Life Star, which carried them all, paused abruptly before bursting into brilliant light.

Buzz!!!

A dazzling splendor burst from the Life Star, making the surging waves of the Origin River rise into splashes, as strands of profound Dao surrounded the Life Star, weaving into rhythmic patterns.

Amidst this radiant glow, the whole Self Life Star expanded rapidly, akin to a star growing, and within a short period, it had more than quadrupled in size, its brilliance far surpassing other Life Stars floating on the Origin River.

It was when this Self Life Star shone brightly that its position began to change, tracing upwards along the Origin River, moving against its flow. Neither Creation, Void, nor Time could sway this resplendent Self Life Star, only creating ripples beside it.

Finally,

After an unknown duration, Chen Mu’s Self Life Star finally reached the end of the Origin River, a dark singularity, or rather, ’dark’ wouldn’t suffice as a description, for no color could define this place—it was the end of the Origin River, the end of all things, the end of time and space in the Universe.

Here, aside from the deepest supreme origin, there were also four other majestic and splendid Life Stars floating.

Even Xu Hongyu and others could clearly discern at a glance that these four awe-inspiring Self Life Stars belonged to the top four Dao Venerables in the Universe: Primordial Palace Master, Primordial Lord, Cang Mang Venerable, and Time-Space Island Master!

And now,

Under their gaze, Chen Mu’s Self Life Star also overcame the shackles of the Origin River, ascending to reach the end of the Origin River, standing alongside those four towering Self Life Stars!

"Brother’s realm has advanced again..."

Chen Yue’s eyes sparkled, her heart suddenly clear and transparent.

"Did Father find a chance in the Source Sea? The Life Star tracing backwards, reaching the source’s end signifies mastering all three Origin Daos, advancing further into the level of Supreme Venerable."

Chen Yao’s eyes were also clear, rippling with waves; since her birth, she had grown listening to countless legends of Chen Mu, even witnessing his rise step by step.

And now,

She again saw Chen Mu affirm his Dao as a Venerable from the Universe’s End of Tribulation, rescuing them from the decaying Universe, and during the transition from Universe’s End of Tribulation to Universe Creation, he found an opportunity within the Source Sea, advanced further, truly reaching the pinnacle of the Great Dao!

From now on, in the next Universe Creation, the top forces in the Vast World would have one more addition.

Apart from Chen Yue and Chen Yao, Hua Nongyue, Qin Mengjun, and others also marveled at this scene. After an unknown period, Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and several Nine Layer Heavens Divine Monarchs suddenly looked down again at the Origin River below, where the Source Sea, dim as flickering lamps in the wind, was about to extinguish.

"The Source Sea is about to perish."

"The Universe is about to be created again."

Such thoughts emerged in the hearts of Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and others, each taking a deep breath, lowering their eyes to watch closely.

Boom!!!

At the next moment, the Origin River finally burst forth with a vast siphoning force, quickly drawing in the dwindling power of the Source Sea, causing the dim Source Sea to rapidly converge and vanish.

Meanwhile, within the Source Sea, one by one, streams of light were either forcibly expelled or somewhat embarrassedly fell out, representing the many Dao Venerables exploring the Source Sea.

Once all the Dao Venerables were expelled from the Source Sea, only a small cluster of it remained.

At this moment,

Amidst the silent nihility, only several hundred Dao Venerables stood, each staring at the last remnant of the Source Sea.

The Origin River hung down from the Nine Heavens, absorbing the last of the Source Sea until it was completely engulfed, then the light of the Great Dao belonging to the Origin River began to recede, retracting upwards.

With the Origin River’s internal contraction, the location where the Vast Universe once existed was now left with nothing but pure nihility, devoid of time, space, or even material existence.

"It’s coming."

Chen Mu stood silently at the edge of nihility, looking up at the continuously contracting Origin River, then with a thought, his entire being vanished quietly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!!

One by one, the figures of the Dao Venerables vanished successively, dispersing their bodies of the Great Dao, leaving only their intact Self Will, manifesting as Self Life Stars, floating on the surface of the Origin River.

The Origin River continued to contract from a vast river spanning ancient times, the vast Universe, into a clear spring, then further into a single point.

Unknown time passed like this.

Finally,

From that point, indescribable blazing radiance erupted, a force beyond the power to destroy heavens and earth, beyond human reach, and even beyond what the Dao Venerables could achieve.

Even Chen Mu, as a Supreme Venerable, could not withstand this power, the complete contraction of the Origin River under the guidance of supreme rules, brewing full power, then unleashing supreme might through time and space!

Under this indescribable, supreme, and boundless might, that realm of nihility burst open, void blossoming and expanding rapidly. Time flowed like a river, Creation converged, transforming into billions of material eruptions.

Universe Creation!

The previous Universe Era thus ended completely, and the next Universe Reincarnation began its original transformation!
