Chapter 295: Breaking the Deadlock

The array formed by the Mirage Sea creatures strikes against the Juhaiguan Heaven-Blocking Array like constant waves.

Chen Mo did not pay attention to the situation of the several Supremes; even without the support of an array, the strength of those Mirage Sea Supremes is absolutely not weak.

Even if he were to strike, he would only be able to recover some of the disadvantage; it is impossible to achieve success in one blow.

Rather than attacking the Mirage Sea Supremes, it is better to find an opportunity to severely damage the array set up by the Mirage Sea creatures.

Those Mirage Sea creatures, which are only commanded by Great Abilities or even just at the True One Realm, would certainly yield results if he seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, even if they have formed an array.

Even if he cannot break this Mirage Sea Array, as long as he can make it suffer damage, he can also alleviate the pressure on the Refuse Sea Pass array.

The Mirage Sea Array attacks like waves with extreme regularity, and Chen Mo has been observing it carefully.

In this world, there is nothing that is absolutely perfect; no matter what it is, there must be loopholes and flaws.

Even a Supreme might have their own shortcomings.

Of course, this shortcoming is relative, because a Supreme's shortcoming might be a flaw or loophole to other Supremes.

But if it were a Great Ability Martial Artist, then this shortcoming would no longer be a shortcoming.

Following its birth, it began to transform and expand at an extremely fast speed, while simultaneously pressing toward the Mirage Sea Array.

Although there had been endless Mirage Sea Water pouring in before, the Mirage Sea creatures with true intelligence had not yet slaughtered their way into Juhaiguan.

If a single strike fails, the subsequent array power, like a mountain collapse or a tsunami, would instantly submerge him.

Under these circumstances, he would certainly be able to catch them off guard.

"Boom!" Under the mobilization of the array, the water of the Boundless Mirage Sea struck Juhaiguan once again.

This is the manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena Laws condensed into one.

Chen Mo's figure flickered, and in an instant, he passed through the Juhaiguan Heaven-Blocking Array to the outside.

But there is only one chance, and he must grasp it.

It is like an extremely viscous liquid; as he stepped into it, he was instantly enveloped.

Doing that would not only yield no gains, but he would even get himself folded into it.

The Mirage Sea looks like gray fog, as thick as seawater.

But a flaw is a flaw, yet wanting to break it open is difficult indeed.

The Mirage Sea Array seems to mobilize power continuously, but there is always a momentary gap between each mobilization of power.

But this is clearly not the time to carefully perceive these things, so Chen Mo gathered all his strength.

Chen Mo does not have this worry; although he is at the Great Ability Realm, he can unleash Supreme-level combat power when exerting his full strength.

The Mirage Sea creatures do not yet know his specific strength.

Chen Mo observed the wave changes of the Mirage Sea Array; this array is ingenious, like waves, with power that is continuous and endless.

In an instant, it was mobilized by him, yet his figure kept shrinking at this moment.

Chen Mo did not say much, quietly waiting for the opportunity to strike.

All power gathered at one point, the Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena Laws intertwined, and finally transformed into an extremely small point.

At this moment, many Mirage Sea creatures located at the very core of the Mirage Sea Array had already discovered that something was wrong.

And most importantly, the Mirage Sea power is very strange, completely opposite to the Heavenly Law.

This momentary gap is extremely short; even if it is a flaw, it is by no means easy to grasp.

Therefore, even among the many Great Abilities present, although some discovered this flaw, they did not dare to touch this Mirage Sea Array.

However, once he truly arrived outside, Chen Mo's perception was even clearer.

Following careful observation of this array, Chen Mo soon discovered the flaws of this array.

But for Martial Artists below the Zhizun Realm, there is absolutely no one who can withstand one of his moves.

He can perceive the operation of the Mirage Sea's rules, and can even detect that the Mirage Sea contains boundless power.

In reality, it is not just Chen Mo; many Great Ability Martial Artists can discover this flaw.

But strange is strange; the Mirage Sea is not chaotic and disorderly, but has fixed rules.

Not only that, this mass of liquid was also constantly attempting to assimilate him.

It appears to be only the size of a grain of rice, but in reality, it contains the power of all laws of a Small World within it.

The Mirage Sea power is extremely eerie; this power enters everywhere and invades everything.

Compared to a true Supreme, he might be somewhat lacking; after all, the power he unleashes is difficult to sustain.

One day, the mountains will be washed away and collapse by the sea waves.

The power of Yin-Yang Law, the Myriad Phenomena Power of the Small World.

Even if many experts condense an array, it is only possible that fewer of them will die; it is impossible to withstand his strike unscathed.

Martial Artists with low strength might not be able to perceive it, but Chen Mo has reached the Great Ability Realm, and his combat power has been elevated to the Zhizun Realm.

If the Juhaiguan Heaven-Blocking Array is like a towering and thick mountain, then this array is like continuous sea waves.

The point the size of a grain of rice contained black and white colors, presenting a Chaos State.

In one-tenth of an instant, it transformed into a Small World large enough to cover ten million miles in radius.

They could not care about anything else, and without a moment of hesitation, they immediately wanted to flee.

However, everything was already too late.

The Small World evolved into myriad phenomena, completely sealing everything; space and time were both frozen, and no one could escape from within.

The array formed by the Mirage Sea creatures, even if it fought Chen Mo head-on, would absolutely not gain the upper hand.

Much less so now that the array can no longer organize its power.

"Boom!"

The Small World instantly shattered, the Void Annihilation Force was born, and a Guixu Storm was stirred up, covering all living beings within the range.

Some Mirage Sea Supremes had already discovered the situation at this time and naturally wanted to strike to stop it.

But how could Taichu and Fuyao Supreme ever give them the chance!

Although they were not clear on Chen Mo's origins, nor did they understand when such a powerhouse of this level was born between heaven and earth.

They could still see that Chen Mo was absolutely a living being of heaven and earth.

They were even clearer on the importance of destroying the Array at this moment, so the two of them disregarded everything, even if it meant risking their lives, to buy time for him.

When a Supreme powerhouse makes a move, delaying for a single instant is enough.

The Void Annihilation Force was born; the laws Chen Mo was now mobilizing were Heaven and Earth Origin Laws.

Not only that, but within the Small World he released, the power of the laws was entirely supported by himself.

Even though the external Mirage Sea Law was different and had endless conflicts with the Heaven and Earth laws, the power of these laws he released could still operate on its own.

The Power of Silence was enough to turn all power into nothingness; to seek a quick battle, Chen Mo did not even use the Yin-Yang Millstone to grind down the power on these Mirage Sea creatures to supply himself.

Instead, he went straight for Yin Yang Reversal, seeking to see the best results in the shortest amount of time.

Another tenth of an instant later, the Power of Silence erupted.

Within a radius of ten million li, nearly all Mirage Sea creatures turned into nothingness and ceased to exist.

Chen Mo's expression, however, was not good, and his brows were furrowed deeply.

The Power of Silence, though it turned all Mirage Sea creatures into nothingness.

Those Mirage Sea creatures whose strength reached the Great Ability realm could resist for a bit longer when facing the power.

But in any case, it could not exceed one instant.

This was not worth being surprised about, even if the cultivation methods used by Mirage Sea creatures were completely different from those of heaven and earth beings.

As long as the power level reached the Great Ability realm, they would have some ability to resist when facing the Nirvana Law invoked by Chen Mo.

After all, the power contained within them was ultimately far stronger than other creatures, and to completely annihilate them, one had to expend a bit more effort.

In reality, the time spent on Nirvana true ones and Mirage Sea creatures in the In-Charge Realm was also slightly different.

It was just that these weaker creatures were not worth too much attention.

What truly made Chen Mo feel surprised was that the Power of Silence shrouded the Mirage Sea creatures and returned them to nothingness.

Yet the Mirage Sea Law still flowed and changed, unaffected by the Power of Silence.

This could only explain one thing: the Mirage Sea Law and the current Heaven and Earth laws were completely different things.

No matter the reason for the Mirage Sea creatures, they were ultimately still influenced by the laws of this heaven and earth.

Their strength might be very high, but their status absolutely had not reached Transcendence over this heaven and earth.

And the Mirage Sea Law could even be said to have already reached Transcendence over this heaven and earth; within this world, no power could completely make it disappear.

To solve it, one would have to give birth to a powerhouse at the Transcendence level to completely resolve it from the root laws.

How difficult it was to achieve this step.

At the very least, according to the information probed in this epoch, this heaven and earth had experienced many epochs and still had not given birth to a Transcendence powerhouse.

Moreover, even if this heaven and earth had once given birth to such a powerhouse, they did not know what such a level of powerhouse would do, nor could they find the other party.

Chen Mo's mind was as swift as lightning, and he did not dwell on this matter further.

Although he could not solve the Mirage Sea, he had to do his best to resolve the Mirage Sea creatures in the current situation.

Otherwise, let alone the Transcendence realm of cultivation, I fear that within a hundred years at most, the Mirage Sea will completely occupy this heaven and earth.

"Quickly stop him!" the Black Shadow Supreme roared, black smoke all over his body, seemingly turning into streams of Yin Wind constantly blowing toward Taichu Daojun.

If the Array were damaged, then the Reject Sea Separate Heaven Array could draw out more power to provide blessings for Taichu Daozun and the others.

More importantly, once Chen Mo finished destroying the Array and freed his hands, that would be one more Supreme combat force.

It would then be difficult for them to take advantage of the heaven and earth beings this time, and they would likely have to return empty-handed.

The Mirage Sea Supreme, who was currently exchanging blows with Xuanhuang Supreme, immediately wanted to rush back.

"Xuanhuang Qi Extinction!"

Xuanhuang Supreme did not speak, but the sound of the Great Dao echoed throughout the entire Mirage Sea.

A unique field formed, and infinite Xuanhuang Qi was born.

Xuanhuang is heaven and earth.

At this moment, Xuanhuang Supreme connected to the Heavenly Law, displaying the Xuanhuang Great Dao he stood upon amidst the Mirage Sea.

Chen Mo even felt the entire Xuanhuang Heaven trembling, ignoring the spatial barriers of the Mirage Sea, and adding these powers to Xuanhuang Supreme.

This was absolutely a life-or-death technique; Xuanhuang Supreme used this method without concealing the rise of his own aura.

His state at this moment was three parts stronger than in his prime.

Thirty-Six Xuanhuang Dharma Swords appeared, condensing into a sword array.

Looking at the array he had laid out, pride flowed in Xuanhuang Supreme's eyes.

This sword array might not be the peak for slaughter, but if it were for blocking enemies, apart from the Reject Sea Separate Heaven Array, no other array in heaven and earth could compare to it.

That Mirage Sea Supreme who wanted to return for reinforcements, along with the clone he had previously stripped away, were both blocked at this moment.

And the Mirage Sea Supreme, of course, would not use a life-or-death technique.

Not only would it not, but all Mirage Sea Supremes would not do so.

For the three Supremes and numerous Martial Artists of Xuanhuang Heaven, if they could not hold the pass, there was only a dead end.

But for these Mirage Sea Supremes, the failure of this massive invasion was nothing more than hibernating longer and waiting for a period of time.

The situations faced by the two sides were completely different, so the Mirage Sea Supreme would never use life-or-death means.

Even if they would not die, losing all their power and growing back up was by no means an easy task.

As for those Mirage Sea creatures slaughtered by Chen Mo, the several Supremes did not care much about them.

If some Great Ability powerhouses were killed or injured, they might feel a slight heartache.

But Mirage Sea creatures below the Great Ability realm were just like leeks in the field.

The Mirage Sea will continuously give birth to these creatures; even if countless die, the several Supremes will not feel a pang of heartache.

When it comes down to it, these Mirage Sea creatures of low strength, no matter how numerous, cannot compare to a single Supreme.

"Taichu!"

Taichu Daojun likewise manifested his own Great Dao; the Great Dao he established is Taichu, one of the Innate Five Tais.

Strictly speaking, this Great Dao should not exist between Heaven and Earth; at the very beginning of the birth of Heaven and Earth, the Dao of Taichu had already merged into Heaven and Earth and ceased to exist.

Yet Taichu Daojun, tracing the origin back to the source, actually evolved this Great Dao once more.

Not only that, during the Ancient Heaven and Earth period, several Supremes were with him, and they even deduced the Innate Five Tais.

The so-called Innate Five Tais are the process of Heaven and Earth evolving from nothing to something, from Wuji to Taiji.

This kind of deduction is not the deduction of a single epoch.

Rather, it traces back to the beginning of the epoch, when this Heaven and Earth had not yet opened.

After the destruction of the epochs that followed, everything returned to nothingness; regardless, all changes occurred within a world that had already been born.

But the period when the Innate Five Tais evolved was before the birth of Heaven and Earth.

That Taichu Daojun can establish such a Great Dao is enough to show the strength of his power.

If one day he can independently and completely evolve the Innate Five Tais, and fully comprehend and master the process of a world from nothing to something.

Then, he will certainly be able to walk a path of Transcendence.

As the Dao of Taichu descended, Taichu Daojun's strength also climbed continuously, and the Innate Hunyuan One Qi emerged.

Everything returned to nothingness in an instant, and the two Mirage Sea Supremes who were locked in combat with him were trapped by this power.

Unless they also use life-risking methods to fight Taichu Daojun to the death, they cannot break free in a short time.

Fuyao Supreme is the same; the Heavenly Dao she established is called Ten Thousand Spirits.

It is the observation that all living things in Heaven and Earth possess a portion of spirituality.

The more prosperous the myriad things of Heaven and Earth are when this Dao is unleashed, the stronger the power she can command.

It is just a pity that given the current state of Heaven and Earth, the power Fuyao Supreme can erupt with is far inferior to the Ancient Heaven and Earth period.

Even so, it is enough to block the other two Mirage Sea Supremes.

Chen Mo immediately understood the thoughts of Taichu Daojun and the others, which was to buy time for himself and let him eliminate as many Mirage Sea creatures as possible.

These Mirage Sea creatures are not weak; although they do not compare to Supremes, the Array they formed still caused great pressure on the Juhaiguan Heaven-Separating Array.

If not for the interference and influence of this Array, the Juhaiguan Heaven-Separating Array could use more power to bolster the three Supremes.

Not only that, they could even further use this Array to guard Juhaiguan.

In a situation where the Mirage Sea Supremes cannot be resolved, eliminating these Mirage Sea creatures that compose the Array is the optimal choice under the current circumstances.

If this matter can be accomplished, then it can at least buy Juhaiguan tens of thousands of years, or even a longer period of safety.

Time is the thing that the creatures of Heaven and Earth lack the most; within these tens of thousands of years, there may be other variables.

"Yin-Yang Millstone!"

Chen Mo fully mobilized his own power, the Small World within his body shook, and the power of infinite laws shifted.

All the power he could mobilize was converted by him into the primordial Yin-Yang Law.

The Yin Yang Taiji Pattern appeared, followed immediately by everything returning to chaos; the Yin and Yang Qi intertwined, attempting to refine everything it could touch.

The Yin-Yang Millstone pressed down rapidly toward the Array formed by the Mirage Sea creatures.

Without anyone needing to say more, long before that previous strike landed, many Mirage Sea creatures had already reacted and wanted to flee rapidly.

Chen Mo had just unleashed a strike, and the time taken had not yet passed an instant.

Yet it was precisely such a strike that directly slaughtered thirteen Mirage Sea Great Abilities and nearly a hundred In-Charge.

As for the True One Realm Mirage Sea creatures, over three thousand were evaporated in an instant.

And the Mirage Sea creatures below this realm were countless.

Under these circumstances, all Mirage Sea creatures understood that unless a Supreme personally took action, no one could stop Chen Mo.

To flee, to flee by any means necessary, was their only chance of survival.

But it is easy to say, yet difficult to do.

In an instant, the Yin-Yang Millstone descended, the Yin and Yang Qi rotated, and like a whirlpool, it began to draw in everything between Heaven and Earth.

Many Mirage Sea creatures with weaker strength had no chance to escape and were directly refined by the Yin and Yang Qi, turning into nutrients to supply the Mirage Sea.

Although this strike was not as swift as the previous Power of Silence, the area it covered was extremely vast.

The Mirage Sea Array, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, had over eighty percent of its area instantly covered by the Yin-Yang Millstone.

Many Mirage Sea creatures that had not been refined were all fleeing; these creatures were at least at the In-Charge Realm, otherwise, they would not even have the power to resist.

But creatures at the In-Charge Realm only lasted one extra instant before being refined in the blink of an eye.

As for those Mirage Sea creatures at the Great Ability realm, they had already fled regardless of everything earlier.

Except for the thirteen Great Abilities who happened to be at the center of the Yin-Yang Millstone's coverage and had no chance to escape.

The remaining Mirage Sea creatures at the Great Ability realm all scattered and fled, each hiding within the Mirage Sea.

Chen Mo did not have the extra time or energy to pursue them one by one, and continued to operate the Yin-Yang Millstone at full speed, refining those Mirage Sea creatures covered by the Yin-Yang Millstone.

The power transformed by countless Mirage Sea creatures was like a gray, misty pillar of Qi descending from the Nine Heavens.

Chen Mo could perceive that within this power, there was not only Heavenly Law but also the power of the Mirage Sea.

If it were any other Martial Artist, even a Supreme powerhouse, they would never dare to rashly absorb this power.

One must find a way to remove the Mirage Sea power contained within, otherwise, absorbing it rashly would only cause the Mirage Sea power to erode oneself; even if one were not transformed into a Mirage Sea creature, one would still suffer heavy injuries.

But, Chen Mo is different.

The Transformation Pearl within his body operated continuously, and all the power surged into the Transformation Pearl to charge it.

Chen Mo has undergone Mortal Transformation time and again; now, the power required to undergo another transformation is truly terrifying.

According to his rough estimation, it would take the Mirage Sea formed after the deaths of at least a dozen Mirage Sea Great Abilities to be sufficient for him to undergo another Mortal Transformation.

However, the power he was refining at this moment far exceeded this amount.

The number of Great Abilities might be insufficient, but the excess of those who grasped the True One Realm, as well as even more Mirage Sea creatures at the Heavenly Human Realm of supernatural powers, were enough to fill the gap.

Boundless Mirage Sea power surged into the Transformation Pearl, and in an instant, the Transformation Pearl was fully charged.

Chen Mo did not hesitate and began a new round of Mortal Transformation within the Mirage Sea.

He did not know how to break through to the Zhizun Realm, but undergoing this transformation, even if he could not successfully break through, would be enough to increase his own combat power.

Moreover, if he could successfully establish a Great Dao, then he would be able to break through.

He could feel nearly boundless power continuously surging outward from within the Transformation Pearl.

This power caused his physical body to vibrate and change constantly, and Chen Mo felt the Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena Laws evolving further within his body.

He did not guide this power into his own Small World, but instead let it further perfect the laws of his physical body and heaven and earth.

For a Martial Artist to achieve the Zhizun Realm, they must establish a Great Dao.

This Great Dao must not have existed between heaven and earth before, or it may have existed, but was not sufficient to form a unique Dao.

For example, Fuyao Supreme's Wanling Great Dao; there are thousands of living beings in heaven and earth, yet no one has been able to borrow power from the myriad spirits of heaven and earth to form a Wanling Great Dao.

Chen Mo was now intending to do the same; as a cultivation method, physical sanctification had been practiced by many Martial Artists in this world.

But no Martial Artist had ever been able to establish a Dao through this, nor had there ever been a complete cultivation method for physical sanctification.

All those who have achieved physical sanctification in the world today have relied on extremely strong power to forcibly draw laws into their bodies to reach the realm of physical sanctification.

And very few Martial Artists truly delve into the methods of those who practice physical sanctification.

The reason is simple: even for Martial Artists who practice the physical body in the early stages, once they reach the True One Realm, there is no difference from Martial Artists who practice Qi refining.

Both begin to come into contact with law cultivation at this realm.

What Chen Mo wanted to do was to complete the deficiencies in the physical sanctification cultivation method and establish a Great Dao in heaven and earth with his own physical body.

As for when to complete the method, that was not the most important thing.

As long as he established the Great Dao and broke through to the Zhizun Realm first, he could complete the method whenever he wanted.

Thousands of laws surged into his physical body, and Chen Mo could feel the creation of his physical body and the agitation of the evolving laws; his physical body was like a pole reaching a hundred feet, advancing even further.

Streaks of golden radiance bloomed from his bare body, and thousands of mysterious precious lights erupted, resembling the chanting of immortal music, as waves of the sound of the Great Dao echoed within the boundless Mirage Sea.

"What is he doing?"

A Mirage Sea Supreme immediately noticed something was wrong and shouted aloud!

It was not just it; many Great Ability powerhouses within Juhaiguan, as well as Taichu Daojun and others, had also discovered Chen Mo's anomaly.

The sound of the Great Dao resounded, and a power that, although born from this heaven and earth, possessed many differences, was gradually rising from Chen Mo's body.

They did not know why this was happening, but they could feel the Great Dao laws gradually emerging from Chen Mo's body!

"He is establishing a Dao, he is breaking through to the Zhizun Realm, stop him quickly!"

Black Shadow Supreme's tone was grave as it immediately shouted.

Although it was a mass of black energy, one could see endless confusion and bewilderment, as well as a bit of panic, on its face at this moment.

Previously, when Chen Mo erupted with Zhizun-level combat power, it was only a bit surprised but not panicked, merely thinking that a powerhouse had been lying dormant among the living beings of heaven and earth and had now suddenly appeared.

But when it truly perceived that Chen Mo was breaking through to the Zhizun Realm, even it felt a bit panicked at this moment.

Because this matter was completely beyond its cognition and understanding.

Furthermore, Chen Mo possessed Zhizun-level combat power while at the Great Ability realm; if he were truly allowed to break through to the Zhizun Realm, how formidable would his strength be?

If such a powerhouse were truly stationed here, then the time they would need to break through Xuanhuang Heaven would likely be delayed for a very long time.

Previously, it did not know Chen Mo's strength and only thought he was a Supreme, so it did not pay much attention.

After all, it is very difficult to completely kill a Supreme.

But the current situation was truly beyond its expectations; this person was not a Supreme at all.

Not only that, he was actually still breaking through!

Then it must find a way to stop him; even if it could not kill the opponent, it had to stop his breakthrough.

Taichu Daojun and the others naturally would not let it succeed.

Since they had employed life-risking methods, the time they could sustain them was not just for a moment.

Even for life-risking, a Post-Heaven Martial Artist's life-risking method might only have one or two strikes, lasting at most less than half an hour.

But once a life-risking method of the Zhizun Realm is unleashed, even if it is not enough to sustain a desperate fight, it can still be maintained for over a dozen years.

Such a long time was completely sufficient for Chen Mo to break through!
