Chapter 1268: Chapter 616: Their Respective Methods (Part 2)
Swoosh!
The three abyssal beings, appearing as flat surfaces, suddenly halted in place. Their bodies rapidly expanded, returning to a normal form from the twisted Void Force that concealed them in the Void, then exploded with a thunderous collapse.
A fleeting flash of black and white light appeared, followed by a silent emergence of a figure in the distant nihility, it was Chen Mu.
He did not glance at the three abyssal beings he had obliterated with a flick, instead, he focused his gaze on the distant Dark Sky Abyss, squinting slightly and murmuring: "Did it come for me? No, it still seeks to probe the realms of the Fan Gu Space Domain?"
Unlike Hong Lin and the others.
Having comprehended Mystical Fusion and stepped into the Seventh Layer Heaven, he could vaguely perceive minute changes within the Dark Sky Abyss even from afar, where it was difficult to see clearly.
He detected an unusual disturbance within the Dark Sky Abyss.
Normally, all forces within the Dark Sky Abyss were purely chaotic, all Mysterious Powers interwoven in chaos, but in that brief instant, it seemed to emit a surge of ’orderly’ power.
This orderly power, although should be perfectly normal, appeared abnormal when emerging in the Dark Sky Abyss, even for just a brief moment, enough for Chen Mu to notice the anomaly.
This was immediately followed by a tide of abyssal beings.
Clearly,
It seemed that this sudden surge of power affected or guided the inner workings of the Dark Sky Abyss in some way, driving masses of abyssal beings towards the Fan Gu Space Domain.
"Forces capable of penetrating the interior of the Dark Sky Abyss must be the work of a Divine Monarch. Perhaps it isn’t a typical Divine Monarch; it might be one at the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak... huh, just attempting to fully probe the realms of the Fan Gu Space Domain by these means is overestimating these abyssal beings."
Chen Mu scoffed coldly in his heart.
Any method employed inside the Dark Sky Abyss would be influenced by it, and tracing through causality or space-time would not uncover its source. Clearly, the opponent still feared the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, unwilling to make direct moves.
For Chen Mu, his current power level merely stepped into the Seventh Layer Heaven, just reaching its threshold and being among the weakest of Divine Monarchs. Against any Divine Monarch, he wouldn’t win but could barely defend himself.
However, as the opponent dreaded the Fan Gu Divine Monarch and refrained from taking direct actions, hiding behind the Dark Sky Abyss to wield measures, he naturally felt no fear. Even if countless abyssal beings were summoned forth, they were of trivial concern to him.
Whiz.
Chen Mu didn’t linger, stepping forward to vanish again into nihility.
He didn’t reveal a fast pace, instead, casually wandered through the Void, obliterating each abyssal being he encountered.
Abyssal beings at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak were exceedingly rare; even amidst this abyssal tide, those emerging lacked several at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak. Those below that level, Chen Mu obliterated with impunity.
Simultaneously,
Chen Mu directed his gaze in other directions, monitoring Hong Lin, the Wing King, and others on the battlefield.
...
"Roar!"
A resounding roar echoed through the Void.
In the distance, the pitch-black firmament curved, forming a vast colossal mouth stretching tens of thousands of miles, voraciously attempting to devour the red ghostly shadow ahead.
The red ghostly shadow was Hong Lin, presently engaged with an abyssal being at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak. Even when the sudden strike came from the Void, her expression remained unchanged, only uttering a cold snort, flinging her hand back, striking the Void.
Boom!!!
The Void instantly froze, creating cracks resembling an icy surface. A surge of Void Force spread along these cracks, producing a terrifying shockwave that enveloped the colossal creature spanning tens of thousands of miles.
The giant abyssal being froze within nihility, its massive body torn apart by the shockwave like a curtain, rapidly deflating like a punctured balloon, reverting to a mere few hundred feet blackened lifeform.
"Hiss..."
This blackened lifeform continued to lunge towards Hong Lin.
Hong Lin’s expression remained unchanged. With one hand wielding the Divine Weapon to suppress the abyssal being at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak, and the other fighting against the blackened lifeform, which possessed only a normal Sixth Layer Heaven power level. Even with a significant portion of her strength dedicated to subduing the other abyssal being at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak, she could still spare energy to handle the blackened lifeform.
After dozens of clashes, the mindless, relentless blackened lifeform swiftly met its end under Hong Lin’s hand, completely vanishing into dust and dispersing.
Once freed, Hong Lin again exerted her full power against the abyssal being at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak ahead.
"Really troublesome."
Though outwardly relaxed, internally she felt only annoyance.
Abyssal beings at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak were indeed powerful, but due to their lack of intellect, their methods were simplistic, their flaws obvious. If one-on-one, she had sufficient assurance to wear the opponent down slowly.
But now the abyssal beings were continuously emerging; she lacked the time to dally with the abyssal being at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak, yet couldn’t ignore it.
