Chapter 297: Slaughter

Within Chen Mo's physical body, boundless Qi and Blood surged; the power of ten thousand laws had long since fused into his Qi and Blood, becoming one and coexisting with them.

His current physical body was a world unto itself; his bones, Qi and Blood, and fascia all gathered the power of ten thousand laws.

With every movement, Chen Mo could call upon these powers.

Beyond this, the power of ten thousand laws enveloped him, forming a World Membrane within Chen Mo's body.

Compared to the world barriers of a Small World, the World Membrane could withstand boundless Chaos Qi, and it possessed even stronger resistance when facing the power of the Mirage Sea.

If it were protecting a world, then as the power of the World Membrane spread out, perhaps some thinner areas would be eroded by the Mirage Sea.

But at this moment, it was only protecting Chen Mo alone, so it was undoubtedly much easier.

Yet the power gathered by the Mirage Sea Supreme could still not be underestimated; countless Mirage Sea Laws invaded Chen Mo's body, colliding violently with the World Membrane evolved from the Heavenly Laws.

It did not stop there; the entire Mirage Sea was shaking, and Chen Mo felt as if he were confronting the Mirage Sea itself.

The power he faced was boundless and infinite; even for a Supreme, it could be called vast and terrifying.

"Whoosh, whoosh..." The Mirage Sea Water seemed to transform into endless sea waves, and Chen Mo, like a reef in the sea, was constantly being washed by them.

This power was also like ten thousand silk threads, but these threads were all incomparably sharp, constantly attempting to bore into Chen Mo's body.

The ten thousand laws within his body surged, as if heaven and earth were being reopened, with Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements being reenacted.

"Boom!" Without any hesitation, Chen Mo decisively activated the power of his own Small World.

The Small World he had taken into his body manifested once more, covering the five Mirage Sea Supremes at an extremely high speed.

The laws of the Small World surged, connecting into a World Array; a boundless law storm raged, blowing incessantly like the gale winds of heaven and earth.

With Chen Mo's current strength, he could not yet annihilate a Heavenly Supreme, even though the strength he possessed was greater than that of an ordinary Supreme.

But to annihilate a Supreme, he had to pay a higher price.

Such a method was naturally invincible when used against Great Ability Martial Artists.

Because when annihilating Great Ability Martial Artists, and those below the Great Ability level, no matter how many there were, the price to be paid was still negligible compared to that of a Supreme Martial Artist.

Even before Chen Mo had truly broken through, possessing a complete Small World meant he could still afford the price of annihilating a Great Ability.

But to contend against a Supreme powerhouse of the same realm, it could only be used as a trump card.

Unless there was only one Supreme fighting him, it would be difficult for him to contend with other Supremes after unleashing this move, and he would have to temporarily retreat.

The Heavenly Laws evolved into Order Divine Chains, and with ten thousand chains sealing the area, the many Mirage Sea Supremes felt the pressure instantly.

Furthermore, they were creatures born from the Mirage Sea and the Heavenly Laws, and were inherently in absolute opposition.

Even with Supreme strength, entering the normal world would still result in them being suppressed.

Likewise, the Mirage Sea Breath seeping from their bodies was also constantly eroding the Small World Chen Mo had opened up.

If Chen Mo could win quickly, then these would naturally be fine.

But if they were deadlocked, as this Mirage Sea Breath eroded, the world he had opened would inevitably be affected.

"Ten Thousand Daos as One!"

Chen Mo did not hesitate; he seized the opportunity and struck decisively.

The technique he employed was not particularly complex; it was simply integrating his own power with the power of this Small World into a single point, and then exploding it in an instant.

This technique could not be called exquisite, and there were many areas that needed improvement, but it was absolutely sufficient for the present.

Most importantly, using this method could best unleash his own strength.

The target he chose was clear: the Black Shadow Supreme was the leader of the many Mirage Sea Supremes, so its strength was certainly not weak.

And those two black and white armored Scholars, their auras resonating with each other, would definitely be difficult to deal with while they watched over and helped each other.

Therefore, Chen Mo's target was that Mirage Sea Supreme, which was entirely blue-gray and as towering as a mountain.

Ten Thousand Daos as One—whether it was the Heavenly Laws nurtured within Chen Mo's physical body or the laws within the Small World.

All were integrated into a single point, containing Chaos, Yin, and Yang within.

As this point was born, the blue-gray mountain Supreme felt itself being completely sealed in an instant.

Facing this strike, it could not dodge and had to take it head-on.

Chen Mo gathered all his power into this single extreme point.

This point was extremely small, like a speck of dust, almost non-existent.

But as it fell, the infinite law power contained within it erupted in an instant.

In a split second, the surrounding Mirage Sea seemed to encounter an irresistible force and was constantly driven outward.

The extreme point Chen Mo had condensed was evolving; all the power of the laws erupted simultaneously, and the point turned into a state of Chaos in an instant.

The method he used was indeed simple and brutal: instantly detonating the power contained within the laws.

In this way, the ten thousand laws would turn into Chaos, and if he wanted to use this move again, he would need to reorganize them.

But the power that could be unleashed this way was also unimaginably terrifying.

Chen Mo had not only achieved a holy physical body, but he also possessed a complete Small World.

The combat power he could unleash was equivalent to a Heavenly Supreme who had established two Great Daos.

With these two powers superimposed, even though the method Chen Mo was currently using was crude, the effect of these two powers combined was by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.

"Ah..." The mountain-like Mirage Sea Supreme let out a painful cry.

It could feel the power constantly erupting within its body; this power was too tyrannical, and it was unable to block it.

Cracks appeared all over its body, and its form began to disintegrate continuously.

Chen Mo hurriedly reined in his power, suppressed the laws within his body, and stabilized the Small World.

After this strike fell, although he was not injured, he could only protect himself for the time being and could hardly use any other means.

The remaining Mirage Sea Supremes looked on in terror, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

Even if the mountain Supreme's strength was not considered strong, it was still a Supreme.

Yet it failed to safely withstand even one of Chen Mo's strikes, and the aura on its body was constantly breaking down and fading.

As a Mirage Sea Supreme, the Mirage Sea Law remaining within its body is now constantly dissipating.

Anyone can see that although it is not yet completely dead, it is only a matter of time before it dies.

Chen Mo's all-out strike had such terrifying power; just how terrifying must his true strength be!

Thinking of this, the four Mirage Sea Supremes were all scared out of their wits.

There was no hesitation or delay, and certainly no need for any discussion.

As if they shared a telepathic connection, they turned and fled together.

The desperate life-risking techniques they had not used before were now unleashed without regard for the consequences.

They truly could not understand why Chen Mo possessed such formidable power just after breaking through.

But now they had no energy to ponder these things; they only wanted to exhaust every means to leave this place as quickly as possible.

It was not just the few Mirage Sea Supremes; Taichu Daojun and the others, along with the many Great Ability Martial Artists within Juhaiguan, also witnessed this scene.

Their expressions were surprisingly uniform, all filled with shock and bewilderment.

That Chen Mo could break through to the Zhizun Realm already exceeded the imagination of many.

They could not understand at all why Chen Mo possessed such formidable strength, nor why he could break through to the Zhizun Realm so easily.

One must know that many Great Abilities have squandered tens of millions of years, or even longer, yet have failed to break through to this realm.

Yet, how long has Chen Mo been cultivating, and he has already managed to break through to the Zhizun Realm.

This point is truly difficult for many Great Abilities to accept!

However, what made people feel even more unable to understand and bewildered was Chen Mo's combat power!

The many Great Abilities' reactions were slightly better, as they had not reached the Zhizun Realm and did not know exactly how terrifying the power of a powerhouse in the Zhizun Realm was.

They could only realize that since Chen Mo killed a Mirage Sea Supreme so easily, his combat power must be much higher than the other few Supremes.

But in the eyes of Taichu Daojun and the others, Chen Mo's strength was somewhat completely incomprehensible.

Being Supremes themselves, they were clearer on the difficulty of killing a Supreme.

Although there are gaps between Supremes, they are not very large.

But Chen Mo was different; the gap between him and the other Supremes was something the few of them could not understand.

Chen Mo cautiously watched the departing Mirage Sea Supremes, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief inwardly.

It seemed his previous strike was powerful enough; the few Mirage Sea Supremes did not intend to test him further and were instead fleeing for their lives.

His previous strike was indeed extremely powerful, and the reason for this was that in an instant, he had detonated all of his own Law power.

Thousands of Laws surged and collided, and all power erupted in a single moment.

Therefore, now, whether within his physical body or within his small world.

Everything was in a state of chaos, like the scene at the beginning of heaven and earth.

In this situation, he no longer had the strength for another battle.

If the remaining Mirage Sea Supremes did not leave, Chen Mo would only be able to protect himself and would be unable to save Xuanhuang Supreme.

He constantly suppressed and sorted himself out, while simultaneously adjusting his small world to let the Heavenly Law within it calm down as quickly as possible.

The Mirage Sea Supreme he killed was currently decaying, gradually evolving into a Mirage Spirit.

A Supreme-level Mirage Spirit, let alone for Chen Mo, is an extremely rare object even for the living beings of heaven and earth.

Mirage Spirits of this level were only obtained in small quantities when the Mirage Sea first invaded this world and the many Heavenly Supremes fought life-and-death battles against the Mirage Sea Supremes.

In this current era, such Mirage Spirits no longer exist in the world, and even apart from Taichu Daojun, the other two Supremes had never had the chance to see such a Mirage Spirit.

Between breaths, Chen Mo utilized the boundless Chaos Qi, re-enacting Earth Wind Water Fire, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements within the chaos, and the thousands of Heavenly Laws evolved accordingly.

According to his estimation, it would take at least several months for his own Laws to return to stability.

Xuanhuang Supreme seemed to have only just come to his senses, his eyes filled with undisguised astonishment and bewilderment.

As a powerhouse in the Zhizun Realm, he had experienced countless storms.

Yet seeing the combat power Chen Mo displayed still made him feel shocked and uncomprehending.

As a powerhouse in the Zhizun Realm, he knew too well how difficult it was to kill a Supreme.

Even as fellow powerhouses in the Zhizun Realm, one would have to pay a great price to kill another Supreme.

It was precisely because of this that although the Mirage Sea had five Supremes, they had been resisting them for so many years.

It was not because the strength of the three of them was strong enough, but because no Mirage Sea Supreme was willing to die.

Yet Chen Mo did not pay any price and killed a Mirage Sea Supreme with great ease.

Such strength truly makes one feel palpitations!

More than that was the bewilderment; Xuanhuang Supreme could not understand no matter how he thought about it why Chen Mo could possess such strength.

It was not just him who could not understand; the two Supremes, Taichu and Fuyao, were the same.

Even the shock and bewilderment in their eyes were almost identical to his.

"Senior, the Mirage Sea Supremes have already left; you should hurry back into Xuanhuang Heaven. This junior still needs to regulate his own world and cannot enter Xuanhuang Heaven for the time being."

Chen Mo looked at Xuanhuang Supreme and said in a deep voice.

Since he had to regulate his own small world, it was best to release it externally.

"Good." Xuanhuang Supreme responded immediately upon hearing this, though the expression on his face remained astonished, and his heart was surging like thousands of waves.

Although he did not know how Chen Mo cultivated to possess such terrifying power.

This was a rare good thing; Chen Mo having such strength was enough to deter those Mirage Sea creatures.

Presumably, for a considerable period of time, they would not come to attack Xuanhuang Heaven rashly again.

Regarding this point, he was not wrong.

The four Mirage Sea Supremes fleeing for their lives certainly had thousands of questions in their hearts regarding Chen Mo's strength.

But carefully recalling the methods Chen Mo had displayed earlier, they believed they absolutely had no ability to withstand them.

In fact, up until this very moment, the few Mirage Sea Supremes still felt a sense of terror in their hearts.

Because the methods Chen Mo employed exceeded common logic, and it was only when faced with methods they fundamentally could not understand that they felt panic.

Every single Supreme had made up their mind to lie low for the time being, ignore everything, and wait steadily.

The Mirage Sea's erosion of the world always existed, and their taking action to slaughter the living beings of the world would only accelerate this process.

But if they did not take action, this process would not slow down either.

It was just that devouring the living beings of the world and incorporating their laws into their own bodies could elevate their own strength to a higher level.

Yet strength was far less important than life; once they died, everything they had would need to be accumulated all over again.

Black Shadow Supreme still remembered when they first entered this world, the top powerhouses of this world attempted to resolve the matter of the Mirage Sea invasion.

Those top Supreme powerhouses charged into the Mirage Sea as if they did not value their lives, perishing together with the Mirage Sea Supremes.

And those Mirage Sea Supremes who were slain, though they did not die, found the time required to re-accumulate their strength to be incomparably long.

To this day, none of the Mirage Sea Supremes who were slain back then have reached the Zhizun Realm again.

The few Mirage Sea Supremes that remained were all those who had hidden extremely well back then and acted with great caution.

Therefore, they all cherished their lives immensely and would never do anything that carried risk.

Because those who did not cherish their lives had already died once before.

"Everyone, I need not say much about the situation. Let us disperse and lie low to wait steadily," Black Shadow Supreme spoke, looking at the remaining three Supremes.

"I have no objections," Black Armor Supreme spoke in agreement.

"That's right, even if this person's strength is great, it is absolutely impossible for them to oppose the entire Mirage Sea. We don't need to do anything; they will die sooner or later anyway," White Armor also spoke, and began to chuckle at the end.

It was not just them; the other Supremes also revealed smiles.

So what if Chen Mo's strength is great? Could they possibly contend against the entire Mirage Sea?

As long as they cannot, then as the Mirage Sea's erosion of this world gradually worsens, it will be a dead end sooner or later.

The current situation of the world is not like the Ancient Heaven and Earth period.

The Mirage Sea's erosion of the world is quite severe; even if Chen Mo's strength is great, it is impossible for them to venture into the Mirage Sea for long like the Supremes of the Ancient Heaven and Earth.

Under these circumstances, they need not do anything but wait steadily; time is still on their side.

After discussing this matter, the few Mirage Sea Supremes dispersed and left.

Meanwhile, near Xuanhuang Heaven, Chen Mo remained stationed outside to regulate their own laws.

Xuanhuang Supreme flashed away rapidly; they were injured quite severely, and even though they were lucky enough not to die, they still needed a large amount of time to heal.

And the two Supremes, Taichu and Fuyao, arrived at Chen Mo's side at this time.

The two of them had quite complex expressions; amidst their confusion, doubt, and shock, there was also a mix of much joy.

Regardless, Chen Mo possessing extremely formidable strength was a rare good thing.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation speed is swift; such talent has never been matched since ancient times," Taichu Daojun spoke in a deep voice, their tone somewhat joyful and excited.

"This Jade Slip contains the cultivation insights of the three of us and many Supremes from the Ancient Heaven and Earth. If Fellow Daoist wishes to seek a sliver of a chance at Transcendence, then this Jade Slip might be of help."

Taichu Daojun continued to speak, then immediately took a Jade Slip from their Huai and handed it to Chen Mo very solemnly.

"Many thanks, Senior," Chen Mo accepted the Jade Slip and thanked them immediately.

"No need; if you can truly achieve the realm of Transcendence, that is also a good thing for this world," Taichu Daojun smiled.

They had their own selfish motives in handing these Jade Slips, which recorded the cultivation experience of the Zhizun Realm, to Chen Mo.

If Chen Mo truly broke through to the realm of Transcendence, then the Mirage Sea Catastrophe of this world would inevitably be resolved along with it.

Not only that, they could also draw reference from Chen Mo's experience in breaking through to the realm of Transcendence to improve their own cultivation.

After handing the Jade Slip to Chen Mo, Taichu Daojun and Fuyao Supreme did not stay there for long.

The two of them were also injured; although not as severely as Xuanhuang Supreme, they still needed to go into seclusion to heal.

As the two left, Chen Mo turned their gaze toward the evolved Supreme Mirage Spirit.
