Chapter 225: Facing the Creatures of the Mirage Sea

"Boom—!"

The Mirage Sea Water surged, continuously pouring into the world.

The Heavenly Law within the Xuantian World reacted immediately; countless rays of divine light descended from the sky, and endless terrestrial Qi churned upon the ground.

The ten wildlands trembled, and one after another, the law-based levees blocking the Mirage Sea Water were forged to completion in the blink of an eye.

"Crack..."

The sound of cracking echoed; Chen Mo looked carefully, and the Mirage Sea Water struck continuously.

The Boundary Wall, which had been breached, now showed cracks spreading from the point of damage.

Thousands of rays of law-based brilliance intertwined, and various Heavenly Laws flashed and shifted in succession; the Xuantian World was doing its utmost to plug the gap.

However, previously the Boundary Wall of the Xuantian World had been intact, and the erosive power of the Mirage Sea was blocked outside, unable to break the whole through a single point.

But now, it was like a flood-prevention levee that had a small breach.

Therefore, although the main body of the Array was set up in the Heavenly Palace, it was over a hundred thousand miles away from the Boundary Wall.

Fortunately, as the most important checkpoint for resisting the Mirage Sea, the area around the Boundary Wall was permeated with the power of laws, and almost no living beings would inhabit it.

The Heavenly Laws of the Xuantian World were still helping itself to stabilize, so as not to be eroded by the Mirage Sea, and even less to be dragged into it.

An extremely intense malice existed at every moment; it seemed to be staring fixedly at them, viewing them as prey.

Using Dharma Heaven and Earth, his figure instantly transformed into a towering giant a thousand feet tall, and the power that the Small World within Chen Mo could mobilize and control also climbed rapidly.

The three people in charge of the main Array seemed to have a channel connected to the Array, through which they could ignore distance and continuously obtain the power of the Array's reinforcement.

And the situation within his Small World was even worse, as it had to bear the countless power from the outside.

He could now vaguely feel that because of bearing such powerful strength, his internal organs were already operating to their limit.

Chen Mo did not hesitate and immediately unleashed his divine ability transformation.

Likewise, under such terrifying reinforcement, the power that Chen Mo's physical body had to bear was also extremely great.

Chen Mo's speed was extremely fast, and in just an instant, he arrived at the vicinity of the Boundary Wall.

If he were to truly head to the Mirage Sea outside, the situation he would face would be even worse than the current one.

Chen Mo frowned and looked at the distant Mirage Sea; he could perceive that this was the malice of the Mirage Sea directed at him.

Now that he was still within the Xuantian World, he could only feel the malice.

And due to the influx of Mirage Sea Water, those Mirage Sea creatures that poured in along with it would surely be like fish in water.

In an instant, the hair all over his body stood on end, his inner alarm bells rang loudly, and his body almost instinctively wanted to flee this place.

Immediately following, endless starlight sprayed down from the sky, and the power of the Array, like a great river, was added to Chen Mo.

Countless living beings turned into a part of the Mirage Sea, which would further enhance its power.

The reason he could accomplish this so easily was because Chen Mo had undergone countless Mortal Transformations, and there was an interweaving of law-based power within his physical body.

Chen Mo had just perceived that he had reached his limit; the combat power he could now erupt with was one hundred and sixty-two times that of before, when he was without various reinforcements!

The reason he could have such strength was because the power of the Array itself was incomparably vast, enough to mobilize half a day's worth of power from the entire Xuantian World.

Let alone a Martial Artist of the same realm, even a practitioner of the True One Realm would absolutely not be a match for the current Chen Mo.

Coupled with the many Mirage Sea creatures, they rushed into this place while carrying the Mirage Sea Water.

Yet the power of the Array could still be transmitted to the vicinity of the Boundary Wall; the reason for this was that when this Array was set up, a spatial Secret Technique was used.

Now that his combat power was amplified by another one hundred and sixty-two times, the power he could mobilize reached an extremely terrifying state.

Even his own muscles and bones were making creaking sounds, his Qi and Blood were constantly boiling within his body, and waves of blood rose one after another.

But even though he barely stabilized his figure, Chen Mo still felt boundless malice.

Now that Chen Mo had activated Dharma Heaven and Earth, the power he could bear naturally doubled further.

Chen Mo reacted immediately; he did not bother with the God Ship and Mirage Sea creatures that had rushed in, but mobilized all his own power and charged toward the Boundary Wall with the power of the Array.

The power he could erupt with now was eighteen times that of his normal state.

Fortunately, when they set up the Array earlier, they had considered that the battlefield for fighting the Mirage Sea creatures would most likely be near the Boundary Wall.

His own strength was already an absolute standout among Myriad Phenomena Warriors of the same realm, and the Small World he had opened up was much broader than others'.

Vitality flowed within Chen Mo's body, healing these cracks at high speed, yet the next moment, the cracks appeared again.

Even if the Mirage Sea Water spread further, it would not be able to affect all the living beings of the Xuantian World in the short term.

"Splash..." The Mirage Sea Water continued to strike, and the infinite gray-white mist covered the entire Boundary Wall in almost an instant.

No matter who it was, becoming the main combatant could amplify their own strength, and the only problem was how much power they could actually bear.

If not for this, the moment Chen Mo faced the Mirage Sea, he would have been dragged directly into it.

His power began to amplify further, two times, three times, until it increased to nine times again.

But if he did not hurry to plug the gap, then as the speed of the Mirage Sea Water's influx became faster and faster, it would not be long before this Xuantian World was submerged.

The surging tide rushed, causing this gap to be washed wider and wider.

The power he could bear far exceeded that of Martial Artists of the same realm.

Cracks constantly appeared within his internal organs; this was because the overly strong power began to press upon his internal organs.

The power of the Heavenly Laws he possessed could not help but surge and erupt further.

The area of the Small World was also constantly expanding; this process was no less than drinking poison to quench thirst.

The expansion of the Small World's area was only to bear stronger power; the power of the Heavenly Laws within it did not increase.

If Chen Mo could stop in time and control his own power, then the current expansion of the Small World would turn into nourishment on his path of cultivation in the future, laying a more solid foundation for his cultivation base.

But if Chen Mo failed to restrain himself, his own Small World would eventually expand to its limit and then shatter.

The world would return to chaos, and his cultivation base would regress instead of advancing.

It was just that Chen Mo clearly would not consider such consequences now; the reason was simple, because only by surviving would he have the qualifications to consider this problem.

With boundless law-based power added to his body, Chen Mo could perceive extremely clearly that in this state, he could not hold on for long.

At most five hours; once this time is exceeded, the foundation of his physical body will begin to suffer damage.

As for the severity of the injuries, it depends on how long he persists beyond that.

"Covering the Sea!" Chen Mo controlled the power of the Heavenly Law and decisively unleashed his divine ability.

A Myriad Phenomena Realm Martial Artist controls the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, especially at the Myriad Phenomena Second Heaven realm, where the power of various laws can flow according to one's thoughts.

Unleashing various great divine abilities is naturally not a difficult task.

Of course, this rough execution is not as powerful as that of a Supernatural Martial Artist who cultivates True Qi and focuses on deep study.

But as a Myriad Phenomena Warrior, the advantage is being able to unleash multiple great divine abilities without being restricted to just one.

Whereas a Supernatural Martial Artist of the same realm at most specializes in one great divine ability, while practicing two or three other divine abilities as supplements.

So-called great divine abilities are techniques summarized by the strong of ancient times that are most suitable for utilizing the Heavenly Law.

Through the combination and mutual generation of various Heavenly Laws, using only one part of power can often exert three parts of might.

After Chen Mo unleashed Dharma Heaven and Earth, those two palms, dozens of zhang wide, had now undergone changes.

The Dao law of space, the subtlety of force, and even the law of water were all in operation.

The divine ability Covering the Sea was able to exert the power to overturn the ocean.

The power of the laws between Chen Mo's palms continuously extended, bearing the Mirage Sea Water that was gushing forth in torrents.

"Boom—!"

As the water surged, every drop of Mirage Sea Water seemed to possess boundless gravity.

Chen Mo only felt a sweetness in his throat; under the impact of the water, the force he was bearing had approached his own limit.

He could not care about this for now and further drove his own power to block the continuously gushing Mirage Sea Water.

Chen Mo did not intend to disperse the Mirage Sea Water that had already entered the Xuantian World; that would require too much power and would also consume too much time.

His goal was very clear: to first block the gap, preventing the Mirage Sea Water from continuing to pour into the Xuantian World, and also to block the creatures of the Mirage Sea that were continuously chasing from behind.

Only in this way could they have the focus and time to deal with the problems within the world.

If they did not first block the gap, then no matter how strong their strength was, as time passed, they would eventually fall into a disadvantage.

"Swish—"

Boundless Heavenly Laws converged; every second, Chen Mo was bearing boundless power, and the speed at which the Mirage Sea Water flowed into the world slowed down significantly.

The Xuantian World itself was also taking this opportunity to further repair the Boundary Wall.

The pressure Chen Mo was bearing began to gradually decrease; he strode forward, pushing against the pressure of the countless Mirage Sea Water to further seal the gap.

However, those creatures of the Mirage Sea that had already entered this world would not just watch.

Although no other creatures of the Mirage Sea had entered this world, they could devour everything within it to their heart's content.

But they also understood that if there were no more Mirage Sea Water pouring in, they would become rootless duckweed.

All the power of this world would exhaust every means to target them.

And they could also see that Chen Mo was able to bear the Mirage Sea Water, so his strength was definitely not that of a weakling.

If he were truly allowed to free up his hands, they would definitely not fare well.

"Swish!" That long snake with a peculiar form, like a ball of hemp thread, extended a section of its body, wanting to entangle Chen Mo's legs.

Even more, countless dense, copper-coin-sized small moths gathered into a dark cloud, wanting to gnaw on Chen Mo's physical body.

A Myriad Phenomena Realm Martial Artist possesses the power of Myriad Phenomena Creation, not to mention that Chen Mo's physical body had also undergone rebirth many times.

In the eyes of these creatures of the Mirage Sea, although he was strange, he was also a rare and great tonic.

Chen Mo had no mind to care about these now; all his power was being used to maintain the Covering the Sea divine ability, blocking the Mirage Sea Water from further rushing into this world.

"Clang!" A sharp blade broke through the air, emitting a crisp, trembling sound.

Since the moment the Array was activated, Bai Yuxia, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally made a move.

The sharp blade in his hand traced a silver-white moonlight, like a half-crescent moon, slashing toward the hemp-thread long snake.

"Rip..." As if a piece of paper were being torn, an extremely strange sound came.

In an instant, the torso of the hemp-thread long snake was slashed into dozens of segments by Bai Yuxia.

However, each segment of its body began to move again, intertwining with each other to form a shorter but thicker long snake.

Now, looking closely, one could vaguely see countless tiny scales on the snake's body.

Shui Qianqiu's figure manifested in the air, blessed by the power of the endless Array; his eyes were brilliant, shooting out rays of golden light.

An Yin Yang Fish pattern appeared, reflecting behind him.

Shui Qianqiu took an Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Disk from his Huai and struck it out.

The Eight Trigrams Disk grew as it met the wind, eventually becoming hundreds of zhang wide; those countless moths rushing toward Chen Mo were blocked by this Eight Trigrams Disk.

The moths rushed into the disk, seemingly losing their direction instantly, circling back and forth within this hundreds-of-zhang-wide Eight Trigrams Disk.

All who walked into the Gate of Death were crushed by this Eight Trigrams power.

Compared to the hemp-thread long snake, these small moths were much easier to kill.

But the quantity was truly too great; as those massive moth-insects vibrated their wings, countless more small moths rushed over.

"Ma!"

An indescribable sound came; Chen Mo only felt as if his ears were pierced by steel needles, and everything in his vision seemed to be dizzying.

This sound was not a true sound; even if he sealed his Ear Consciousness, he could still feel it.

"Swish, swish, swish!" The sound of fleshy wings vibrating rang out; a monster with a horse's head and a human body rushed toward Chen Mo at high speed.

Among the monsters that had poured into the Mirage Sea during this time, only these three were the strongest.

Although the others were not weak, they clearly could not compare to these three Mirage Sea monsters.

Chen Mo could also see that the strength currently displayed by these three monsters was at most only five or six tenths of their original strength.

Because coming into the Xuantian World meant they were not in the Mirage Sea, their strength would be significantly suppressed.

Yet even so, they remained extremely strong.

If not for the support of the Array, relying solely on the strength of Bai Yuxia, Shui Qianqiu, and the others to engage these monsters would have led to defeat in less than a moment.

Even with the support of the Array, if Chen Mo were to engage them at their peak, he would likely only be able to hold his own.

The reason is simple: as Martial Artists of the Fifth Realm, whether it is Shui Qianqiu or Bai Yuxia, who among them does not possess trump cards and life-saving measures?

If the two of them unleashed their full strength, even if the increase was not as great as Chen Mo's due to not having undergone a rebirth, it would not differ by too much.

At most, it would be a gap of forty to fifty percent.

This gap is enough for Chen Mo to crush Martial Artists of the same realm.

But when facing these Mirage Sea creatures that are clearly stronger than him and in a different category, if they were not within the Xuantian World, Chen Mo would absolutely not have the advantage.

"Boom!"

A sound like flames being ignited came abruptly; on the Golden Warship, an elderly figure wearing a black robe suddenly charged over.

The aura around his body was extremely peak, causing the surrounding space to seem as if it were ignited by him, twisting along with it.

Originally gaunt and with his strength exhausted to the limit, his eyes now shone with brilliance, and countless golden Dao Patterns spontaneously condensed into profound Talismans around him, emitting streaks of seven-colored light.

Chen Mo saw at a glance that this old man's strength was extremely high, and that he was currently using some kind of flash of brilliance before death, a method of ultimate sublimation.

His own strength was even greater than it was during his prime.

He took a step forward, his figure flashing to arrive before the horse-headed, human-bodied monster.

Spreading his five fingers, he lightly slashed through the void, and over a dozen profound Talismans condensed in the air, continuously shooting toward the horse-headed Mirage Beast.

With his current strength, even if it were not enough to defeat this horse-headed, human-bodied monster, he could still delay it for a moment, buying time for Chen Mo to repair the Boundary Wall.

As for the remaining, weaker Mirage Sea creatures, the remaining Heaven-Human experts of the Xuantian World who had not joined the Array took up their weapons and began to intercept those Mirage Sea creatures.

Although they were no match for these Mirage Sea creatures, they were exhausting every means to buy time for the Mirage Sea.

For this, even if it meant paying the price with their lives, they would not hesitate.

Chen Mo no longer needed to be distracted and began to focus on completing the Boundary Wall of the Xuantian World.

As long as the Boundary Wall healed and he could free up his hands, all problems would be solved.
