Chapter 299: Suppressing the Mirage Sea (Grand Finale)
Chen Mo gathered his own power; within the small world he had opened up, five regions were now delineated, and within each region, a force of the Innate Five Tais remained.
Chen Mo could now freely mobilize and wield the power of the Innate Five Tais, and with this power, he could reverse, modify, delete, and evolve laws.
If it could be said that a Martial Artist at the Great Ability realm could only change laws to a small degree, then by utilizing the power of the Innate Five Tais, Chen Mo could change any law within the world to any degree he wished.
He could even, if he so desired, directly erase any Heavenly Dao within this world.
Of course, the risks of doing so were immense; he himself would naturally have no issues, but the world whose Dao he erased would inevitably collapse.
But the Mirage Sea was an exception.
Chen Mo could feel the uniqueness of the Mirage Sea at this moment; it was not like a world, but rather more like some kind of living creature.
Chen Mo utilized the power of the Innate Five Tais, continuously absorbing the power of the Mirage Sea and converting it for his own use.
This speed was faster than before by an unknown margin.
Yet no matter how much power of the Mirage Sea he drew, it never collapsed, and laws and Heavenly Daos continued to be derived from it.
Moreover, Chen Mo could also perceive part of the source of the Mirage Sea's power, much like the Transformation Pearl.
The status of the Mirage Sea's own power was already approaching Transcendence; for power of this level, its source, even if not a Transcendence expert, was certainly a half-step Transcendence being.
If he wished to resolve the Mirage Sea, he had to first resolve this expert.
Chen Mo was not clear on how strong the other party was, but he imagined they should not have reached Transcendence.
Because he truly could not understand why a Transcendence expert would spend the effort to construct the Mirage Sea and let it devour the world.
For a Transcendence expert, this was a completely meaningless thing.
Chen Mo now wielded the Innate Five Tais, even if, strictly speaking, he had not fully achieved Transcendence.
Yet the power of the laws within a world provided little help to him.
As long as he wished, he could travel to the Boundless Void and evolve such power at will.
Absorbing a large amount of Heaven and Earth Power, for a true Transcendence expert, was not to say it had no help at all, but it was definitely not worth the effort to do so.
A Martial Artist with the motivation to do this must not have reached the realm of Transcendence and still needed to collect Heaven and Earth Power to help themselves achieve Transcendence.
If viewed from this point, the expert who created the Mirage Sea was currently definitely not as strong as himself.
But before truly finding the source of the Mirage Sea, he could not be certain of this.
Everything still had to be handled with caution.
Chen Mo mobilized the power of the Innate Five Tais to inspect the Mirage Sea Law, tracing the source to find where the power of the Mirage Sea was emanating from.
This was naturally not difficult for him; Chen Mo quickly determined the direction and continued to go deeper, following the myriad Mirage Sea laws.
Following the myriad laws, he continuously went deeper into the bottom of the Mirage Sea.
Chen Mo could feel the structure of this Mirage Sea; it was like a turbine continuously moving forward.
Large in the front, small in the back.
And the further back one went, the more tyrannical the power of the Mirage Sea became.
Chen Mo went deeper steadily all the way; the dense, almost substantial power of the Mirage Sea, like silt, had already completely wrapped around him.
Yet these powers could not exert any influence on him.
Not knowing how long he had been deep in the Mirage Sea, Chen Mo stopped his steps and looked vigilantly toward the source of the Mirage Sea.
There sat a Black Gold Ancient Coffin; this coffin was wreathed in black energy, and the laws of the Boundless Mirage Sea were emitted from it.
Chen Mo did not rashly approach; the power of the Innate Five Tais flowed around his body, forming a field.
He could feel that the grade of this coffin was definitely not low; even if it was not as good as the Transformation Pearl, it was not far off.
Most importantly, this coffin was currently in an open state.
That infinite black energy was continuously emanating from the corpse inside the coffin.
The Innate Five Tais evolved, and everything was returning to nothingness and emptiness.
The void power evolved by the Innate Five Tais looked similar to the original Power of Silence, but in reality, there were too many differences.
The original Power of Silence was to silence the laws of the world and return them to nothingness.
Yet the power contained within it still remained within the world and did not disappear.
It was just that those powers were temporarily converted into the Power of Silence; only when the era reopened would these powers evolve into a new world.
Whereas the power of the Innate Five Tais was to return it completely to nothingness, leaving not even a trace behind.
The Innate Five Tais evolved, and the Mirage Sea fell into a standstill in an instant; all the power it had nurtured was continuously disappearing, disappearing from the root, never to exist again.
However, at this very moment, Chen Mo sensed a power of resistance rising from within the Black Gold Ancient Coffin.
This power was not strong, but it was very tenacious.
The Innate Five Tais flowed, yet for a time, it could not harm it in the slightest.
"Swish!"
A sound, quite swift, like a wild rabbit passing through a forest, rang out.
Inside the Black Gold Ancient Coffin, a corpse abruptly sat up.
This corpse's expression was not calm, but appeared very ferocious, and its body was wreathed in dense Grey Mist, continuously spreading outward.
Chen Mo saw at a glance that the Mirage Sea Law originated from this person; not only that, the power that could resist his own Innate Five Tais was also exerted by this corpse.
He frowned deeply; logically speaking, this corpse had the ability to emit the Mirage Sea Law and could also resist his own Innate Five Tais.
In any case, it should not be in a dead state.
Moreover, with this kind of strength, even if this corpse were dead, it would definitely have no need for Heaven and Earth Power.
When things are abnormal, there must be a demon.
The corpse inside the Black Gold Ancient Coffin did not move, but more and denser Grey Mist was continuously gathering.
Clusters of mist connected into sheets, surging like a storm.
Chen Mo watched this storm flow past him; he had already mastered the Innate Five Tais, and this kind of method could definitely not hurt him.
An ancient and obscure Dao sound rang out, yet Chen Mo understood its meaning in an instant.
"Die! Die! Die!" The sound emitted by this corpse was extremely shrill, twisted and filled with boundless fury.
A force beyond imagination whistled over, and the black mist that had been permeating the area changed in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a black tide, a thick, substantial black tide that surged toward Chen Mo like ocean waves.
However, at this moment, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
The power this corpse mobilized was indeed strong, but it ultimately remained within the limits of the Heavenly Law.
This indicated that the opponent's true strength had absolutely not reached the realm of Transcendence.
But if it had not reached such a realm, why could it resist the power of the Innate Five Tais?
There was only one possible explanation: that Black Gold Ancient Coffin was very special, a supreme treasure that was absolutely not inferior to the Transformation Pearl.
Yet, from the corpse inside the Black Gold Ancient Coffin and the consciousness remaining within it, it was clear to see.
This supreme treasure was likely quite perilous.
Even if he obtained and used it himself, it would be best to be careful.
Although he had determined the approximate strength of his opponent, Chen Mo still did not relax.
With a thought, the countless black tides began to flow backward uncontrollably.
Even though both were at the half-step Transcendence realm, there were still gaps in strength between them.
Chen Mo could fully command the power of the Innate Five Tais, which was not much different from a Transcendence powerhouse.
And while the corpse within this Black Gold Ancient Coffin was certainly not weak, it still could not compare to him.
Even with a heavy treasure for protection, it could only protect itself and would never be his match.
Since that was the case, it was time to resolve the Mirage Sea Catastrophe first.
Even if he could not erase the source in a short time, he had to suppress it first.
Chen Mo followed his thoughts, the power of the Innate Five Tais flowed and changed, and the Heavenly Law began to evolve anew.
It was not just the normal Heavenly Law; even the Mirage Sea Law was being forcibly reversed by him.
In just a fleeting moment, all Mirage Sea power within the entire Da Tiandi began to recede.
In Xuanhuang Heaven, many Great Abilities looked at the scene outside, their hearts filled with myriad doubts, yet they truly did not know what was happening.
In Cangxuan World, Chu Tianqiu and Zhao Xuanxin also discovered the abnormality in the world; the power of the Mirage Sea was gradually moving away from this world.
This speed was extremely fast, so fast that people could hardly react.
The Ancestor Spirit of the Ancestor Land perceived the changes in the outside world even more clearly at this moment.
And Fengdu Niangniang within the Netherworld, her expression uncertain, could naturally perceive the Mirage Sea receding, but she did not know why such a change was occurring.
She was even less certain whether this matter was good or bad.
The Lord of the Blood Sea stood beside her without a word, but one could tell from her expression.
She wanted to ask her sister right now what exactly had happened to the world, and why the power of the Mirage Sea was continuously receding.
And in Xuantian World, Bai Yuxia, Shui Qianqiu, Jiang Wanliu, and many other powerhouses naturally sensed this change as well.
The power of the Mirage Sea was continuously receding; this seemed like a good thing, but they had no information about it.
They were even less clear about whether another wave would come after the Mirage Sea power receded.
In another instant, Chen Mo's figure manifested; in the blink of an eye, he reflected himself across all worlds.
Within the Da Tiandi, every world, regardless of its size or strength, could see his figure.
The powerhouses in every world could sense the power fluctuations emanating from Chen Mo even more clearly.
They could not understand this power, but they could perceive its might.
Countless weaker Martial Artists and mortals, facing this majestic figure, could not harbor any other thoughts and only wished to prostrate themselves in worship.
And in that world which had long revered Chen Mo as a god, both the commoners and Martial Artists were spontaneously worshipping Chen Mo.
In Cangxuan World and Xuantian World, the many Martial Artists who knew Chen Mo were all filled with confusion upon seeing this situation.
Immediately after, they felt the Mirage Sea power within their worlds being continuously dispelled by Chen Mo.
His appearance was like a needle to calm the sea, suppressing the Mirage Sea power in an instant.
In Xuanhuang Heaven, many Great Ability Martial Artists looked at the phantom manifested by Chen Mo, their minds swaying.
Following the emergence of Chen Mo's projection, the three Supremes who were in seclusion healing their wounds could no longer care about their recovery.
They all ended their seclusion and observed the outside world.
Unlike other Martial Artists, they could perceive more differences as they looked at the phantom manifested by Chen Mo.
Seeing the three Supremes appear, the many Great Abilities could not care about anything else and sent voice transmissions to ask the three Supremes what was happening now.
Why did Chen Mo's avatar projection suddenly appear between heaven and earth, and with its appearance, why did the Boundless Mirage Sea Law disappear from this world?
Compared to the Martial Artists in other worlds who sensed the Mirage Sea Law receding.
There were many Great Ability powerhouses in Xuanhuang Heaven, and their perception of the Heavenly Law was more acute.
Some Great Abilities had long realized that the Mirage Sea Law was not receding, but was disappearing completely from the world, returning to nothingness, turning into extinction, without leaving even a trace of its existence.
This scene was truly terrifying!
Even with Chen Mo's phantom appearing, and many Martial Artists guessing that this matter was related to him, they still dared not draw a conclusion in their hearts.
"Is this the power of the Innate Five Tais?" the Xuanhuang Supreme asked with some doubt in his tone, not daring to be entirely certain.
Because this power, which they could not judge at all, was clearly displayed by Chen Mo and mastered by him.
But how long had Chen Mo been cultivating? He was at the Zhizun Realm before, and now, in just a few short months, he had directly become a Transcendence powerhouse.
This was too hard to accept.
The Xuanhuang Supreme, although aware that Chen Mo's cultivation speed was incredibly fast, still could not accept that he could become a Transcendence powerhouse so easily.
After all, he himself had strived toward this realm for countless years.
The result was still not achieving Transcendence.
How long has Chen Mo even been cultivating? If he could achieve the Transcendence realm, the gap between the two would truly be too vast.
Xuanhuang Supreme found this difficult to accept for a moment.
Yet, sensing the Mirage Sea Law constantly disappearing, he felt a measure of joy in his heart.
Regardless of how Chen Mo broke through, as long as the Mirage Sea crisis could be resolved, that was a good thing.
"That's right, it is the power of the Innate Five Tais; he has already achieved the Transcendence realm."
As the strongest among the many Supremes, and the one with the deepest research into the Innate Five Tais.
Taichu Daojun immediately asserted.
But even for him, his face was currently filled with confusion and doubt, along with a measure of joy.
Although he could not figure it out even if he racked his brains, how Chen Mo could achieve the Transcendence realm, and why he could cultivate so quickly.
But regardless, that Chen Mo could achieve the Transcendence realm and wield the power of the Innate Five Tais was a tremendous good thing.
With the Mirage Sea Catastrophe resolved, the many powerhouses between Heaven and Earth could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Not only that, he himself could also ask Chen Mo for advice on the mysteries of the Transcendence realm.
"He actually managed to achieve the Transcendence realm!" Fuyao Supreme's tone carried boundless shock; she naturally had ten thousand questions in her heart about this.
But she was also very happy; the Mirage Sea could be resolved, and the myriad spirits of Heaven and Earth would once again flourish, which was of great help to her own path of cultivation.
The Mirage Sea Law receded, and the Da Tiandi that had been occupied by it evolved once more.
Those Small Worlds that existed independently, with the disappearance of the Mirage Sea power, were gradually merging into the Da Tiandi.
These Small Worlds were originally one with the Da Tiandi; their previous independent existence was to resist the Mirage Sea Catastrophe, forcing them to form independent worlds.
Now that the Mirage Sea had vanished, they naturally merged back into the Da Tiandi.
Countless Small Worlds surged violently, merging with the Da Tiandi, feeling more abundant spiritual energy and more perfect laws.
Chen Mo suppressing the power of the Mirage Sea evolved a new Heaven and Earth; this process was no less than the reopening of this Heaven and Earth.
The newly evolved Heaven and Earth not only had perfect laws, but the abundance and purity of the Heaven and Earth Qi were also almost the same as when Heaven and Earth first opened.
Even if an ordinary person stayed in this environment for a long time, even without cultivating, under the day-by-day nourishment of the abundant Qi, they could still open all the meridians and acupoints in their body and achieve the Innate Realm.
And many Martial Artists who had previously achieved some success, suddenly arriving in this environment, felt their bottlenecks of many years loosening.
The Mirage Sea Law within Heaven and Earth constantly receded until the entire Mirage Sea disappeared completely.
With the Mirage Sea gone, those Mirage Sea creatures naturally disappeared along with it.
Even the few Mirage Sea Supremes were the same; facing the disappearance of the Mirage Sea Law, even though they could perceive it, they could not offer any resistance.
And the weaker Mirage Sea creatures could not even perceive the disappearance of the law.
In just a short moment, not a trace of Mirage Sea Breath remained in the entire Heaven and Earth.
The Ancient Heaven and Earth returned to its former appearance, but with the Heaven and Earth re-evolving, there was now only desolation.
At the source of the Mirage Sea, Chen Mo looked at that Black Gold Ancient Coffin; a substance like a black tide permeated the entire coffin, and the whole coffin was constantly vibrating.
Refined by the power of the Innate Five Tais, Chen Mo's expression was very calm; he was strong enough, and completely resolving this black tide was only a matter of time.
The black tide surged outward, attempting to resist and oppose the power of the Innate Five Tais, yet all of this was in vain.
Chen Mo could feel at this moment that the Black Gold Ancient Coffin might not be the problem, and even the corpse inside the coffin might not be the problem.
The real problem was the black tide derived from the corpse; it was the source of everything.
The power of the Mirage Sea Law all originated from this.
And although this black tide had not reached the realm of Transcendence, it could be called half-step Transcendence.
It was just that the accumulated power was far inferior to his own; although Chen Mo was also half-step Transcendence, he possessed the power of a Transcendent, only his insights were not comprehensive.
And the black tide only possessed the power of a half-step Transcendent; as for insights, it had none at all.
Even its intelligence was somewhat imperfect.
If Chen Mo's estimation was correct, this black tide should be a product derived from this corpse.
But since this corpse could derive the black tide, its strength was absolutely extraordinary; even if it had not reached the realm of Transcendence, it was definitely half-step Transcendence.
Then why did it die? And why did it have to stay in this Black Gold Ancient Coffin?
Although Chen Mo had ten thousand doubts in his heart at the moment, he did not overthink it; he struck with full force, intending to completely annihilate the black tide immediately.
However, at this very moment, the eyes of the corpse, which had been closed all along, suddenly opened.
The expression on the corpse's face seemed to come alive all at once, staring straight at Chen Mo, and it said with a somewhat ferocious tone, "Kill, kill!"
As the words fell, the power erupted by the black tide was instantly suppressed by that corpse.
Chen Mo naturally did not hold back; the Innate Five Tais evolved, and in an instant, the black tide vanished along with it.
The corpse's expression suddenly became calm and peaceful, and the corpse itself was constantly dissipating and annihilating, finally turning into nothingness.
Chen Mo looked at the Black Gold Ancient Coffin; the Innate Five Tais evolved, and he instantly refined this treasure, beginning to view everything that had happened around this treasure since its birth.
Viewing the evolution of an era of life and death in a Heaven and Earth was naturally extremely difficult for a Supreme, but for a Transcendent, it was the most trivial of matters.
Viewing the Black Gold Ancient Coffin, Chen Mo learned the whole situation in an instant.
The corpse lying in the coffin was a powerhouse named Haoqian Daozun.
His strength was strong enough, already nearing the realm of Transcendence.
But something went wrong during his breakthrough; an Outer Heaven Demon entered his body, causing him to develop a heart demon.
He discovered this problem but was no longer a match for his own heart demon, and he understood even more that if he were occupied by the heart demon, it would be an irreparable disaster for the Heaven and Earth he lived in and for his own sect and lineage.
For this reason, he decided to die.
But as a powerhouse at the half-step Transcendence realm, no one could kill him except himself.
Yet the heart demon had already been born; he wanted to commit suicide but might not be able to do so.
Haoqian Daozun pondered carefully and finally decided to use the Black Gold Ancient Coffin to seal himself.
This coffin is also a rare supreme treasure, one he spent a vast amount of resources and effort to forge.
He used the Black Gold Ancient Coffin to seal himself, and found a way to let himself drift in the boundless void, far away from the world where he was born.
He even tried using every means to commit suicide, but was ultimately blocked by his inner demon; he died, yet could not die completely, as the inner demon possessed residual power that remained.
After another tens of millions of years, the Black Gold Ancient Coffin drifted into a certain world.
The surviving inner demon incited the half-step Transcendence power on the corpse to erode the world, accumulating power to restore itself.
If enough worlds were devoured, then this inner demon would one day become a Demon Lord and step into the realm of Transcendence.
Fortunately, having achieved the Transcendence realm himself, the final remaining will of Haoqian Daozun revived while he was attempting to suppress this inner demon, exerting all its strength to suppress the inner demon and create an opportunity for Chen Mo to slay it.
He and the inner demon were two sides of the same coin; with the inner demon slain, he naturally dissipated with the Wind.
Chen Mo exhaled a long breath of stale air and put away the Black Gold Ancient Coffin.
He had too many things to do now: enter secluded meditation and truly break through to the realm of Transcendence.
But before doing these things, he should first go home.
He had been away for a long time this time; no matter what, he should go home and see his wife.
As for other matters, there was no need to rush; he could just take them slowly.
The Mirage Sea Catastrophe was resolved, and he had plenty of time now.
A smile appeared on Chen Mo's face, and with a flash of his figure, he arrived inside the Heavenly Court Secret Realm of the Xuantian World.
Zhao Yu was not cultivating at this moment, but was instead feeding Kun Qi.
Seeing Chen Mo's figure, her smile was like a blooming flower, and she hurriedly flew over to him.
