Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 241 Divine Realm Demon God War God

Shen Mu pondered, his gaze falling on the two direct descendants of the Li Yang clan.

This middle-aged man is a master from a branch of the Li Yang clan, possessing the strength of the late Chaos Realm, roughly at the peak of the seventh level.

As for the young man, he was a talented direct descendant of the Li Yang clan. He came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains for training. He was only a little over a thousand years old, but his cultivation level had already reached the peak of the fifth level.

"If I approach rashly, it will surely arouse their suspicion."

Any normal person would be wary of any stranger in the treacherous mountains and forests.

A clear light shone in Shen Mu's eyes as his figure disappeared into the mountains and forests.

……

"Old Bear, can taking a piss take that long?"

Old Xiong, the guard whose soul had been searched by Shen Mu, had just returned to the group when his companion punched him in the chest while cursing.

"Go away, go away! The Ten Thousand Mountains are fraught with danger. Even taking a piss requires caution. I have to be careful!" Old Xiong retorted with a look of disgust.

Upon hearing this, the young master in the crowd nodded in agreement and said, "Guard Xiong is right. We must be more cautious in dangerous situations."

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. We still need to find a suitable prey for the Sixth Young Master. We can't afford to come in last place in this hunting competition."

The only middle-aged man at the late stage of the Chaos Realm spoke, and instantly all the guards became serious and stopped fooling around.

"Uncle Gu is right, let's go."

Although this sixth young master is a direct descendant of the Li Yang clan, there are many direct descendants, but not many have the support of a late-stage Transcendent Realm expert.

This Uncle Gu's full name is Li Yanggu. He is one of the more than sixty late-stage masters of the entire Li Yang clan, and he naturally respects Uncle Gu.

Immediately, the group continued their exploration deeper into the mountains and forests.

Before they had gone more than a few dozen miles, Li Yanggu, who was in charge, suddenly frowned and stared at everything around him with some vigilance.

"Stop immediately and return the way you came!"

Li Yanggu didn't detect any fluctuations in energy. The reason he was able to sense danger was because there was suddenly no sound in this mountain forest.

Not a single bird or insect chirping could be heard.

But it's too late to retreat now!

With a "bang".

Suddenly, the entire surrounding forest collapsed without any warning.

At the deepest point of the earth's fissure, a grayish-brown mist rose, corroding everything around it—a horrifying sight.

Terrifying flames, accompanied by a grayish-brown mist, erupted from the massive crack.

A ferocious beast covered in red thorns poked its head out, its lantern-like eyes flashing with bloodlust.

The colossal beast, nearly three zhang tall, was shrouded in gray-brown mist and scorching flames, making half the sky seem gloomy.

The gray-brown mist and firelight intertwined, forming a terrifying domain that covered an area of ​​thousands of miles, even causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space!

"False divine realm, ancient ferocious beasts, take the young master and escape!"

Li Yanggu's expression changed drastically. He glanced at the boy behind him, a resolute look appearing in his eyes.

Under the terrifying pressure of this realm, the size of one's body basically represents the strength of one's power.

Small size doesn't necessarily mean weak strength, but large size definitely means strong strength.

Given the size of this ancient ferocious beast and its ability to unleash a pseudo-divine domain, its strength undoubtedly far surpasses that of a peak Transcendent Realm cultivator. It seems likely that he will perish here today.

Seeing this, the six guards quickly covered the retreat of the sixth young master.

At this moment, the sixth young master also looked panicked. They were in the outer area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains. Why would an ancient ferocious beast appear?

The so-called ancient ferocious beasts are ferocious beasts with supreme bloodlines. Ordinary demon gods and god-level powerhouses are no match for ancient ferocious beasts.

"Forbidden Secret Technique, Blood Burning!"

Li Yanggu's aura suddenly surged to the peak of the seventh level, reaching the peak of the eighth level. Holding a broadsword as large as a door panel, he directly met the attack.

"hold head high!"

The ferocious beast roared, causing the entire mountain range to tremble violently. Brilliant flames erupted, condensing into a sharp blade that instantly pierced through Li Yanggu's chest.

The gap is too large; the two are not even on the same level.

Crimson flames spread from Li Yanggu's wounds. This flame was an innate secret technique of this ancient beast, and its temperature was terrifyingly high.

"Hmph, you beast!"

A phantom voice seemed to come from the horizon, and a terrifying wave of will instantly exploded outwards.

"Aww!"

Pain flashed in the eyes of the red behemoth, and with a miserable howl, the beast writhed in agony on the ground, destroying forests and shattering the earth.

In the next instant, Shen Mu's figure seemed to appear out of thin air, with ripples spreading through the space.

Then Shen Mu's gaze fell on Li Yanggu, and a rich azure glow surged in his palm, which was pure life force.

hum!

The flames that clung to Li Yanggu's wound like maggots were extinguished in an instant, and the injury healed at an extremely fast speed.

Then Shen Mu raised his right hand, and countless black and white secret patterns emerged, accompanied by dazzling black and white divine light, condensing into a divine spear.

The secrets of spear techniques, the cycle of birth and death!

Shen Mu's spear technique contains the profound mysteries of two completely opposite Daos: life and destruction. It is also Shen Mu's most powerful move, without exception.

Although the Path of the Soul is the main path that Shen Mu cultivates, the Supreme Heart Tribulation is also the ultimate technique that Shen Mu values ​​most.

However, if we're talking about the level of understanding of the Great Dao, it has to be the Great Dao of Life and the Great Dao of Destruction.

After all, Shen Mu's true form possesses talents at the same level as the original body of the primordial universe and the king of world beasts, representing the embodiment of complete life and the Great Dao of Destruction.

After pacifying the Great Calamity of the Beast Realm for trillions of epochs, Shen Mu hardly made any deliberate effort to comprehend these two Great Daos.

But as time went by, my understanding of these two great principles naturally deepened. There's no way around it; my talent is too high, so I have to understand.

Clang!

A dazzling spear light burst forth, and countless secret patterns flashed across the sky, leaving a long black and white crack that seemed to tear open the entire heavens.

The terrifying power directly tore apart the pseudo-divine domain formed by the gray-brown mist and firelight. The spear's momentum did not diminish and shot directly into the head of the ferocious red beast, piercing through the entire body of the giant beast.

Then Shen Mu reached out and summoned the black and white divine spear back into his palm, while the ferocious beast's life force began to die out.

Grayish-white runes and divine light spread from the giant beast's wounds, instantly enveloping its entire body and stripping it of all life.

"It's all due to his cultivation level and innate divine skills; he's wasted his top-tier bloodline."

The creatures of this realm possess incredibly high bloodline talents. For example, this mysterious behemoth's bloodline definitely originates from a super life form, and its divine body is far stronger than that of an ordinary infinite divine body.

However, in terms of strength, on the Origin Continent, he is only at the average level of the Chaos Realm, with almost no understanding of the realm; he is too crude.

At this moment, Li Yanggu, who was standing to the side, finally recovered and bowed to Shen Mu with his injured body.

"Li Yanggu, a branch of the Li Yang clan in Wengcheng, pays respects to the senior!" Li Yanggu barely managed to maintain a bowing posture.

He had already used a forbidden technique that burned his bloodline power and was seriously injured, so it was already quite good that he could stay conscious at this point.

Not far away, the sixth young master, who had just escaped, also arrived with a group of guards.

"Uncle Gu, are you alright?" The Sixth Young Master looked at Li Yanggu with a worried expression.

Li Yanggu immediately put on a stern face: "Hurry up and thank the senior. If it weren't for the senior's help, we would both be dead here."

At this moment, the sixth young master finally managed to calm down, wiped away his tears, and kowtowed deeply to Shen Muxing.

"Li Yangchen, from the sixth branch of the Li Yang clan, kowtows to express his deepest gratitude to the senior for saving his life."

Shen Mu waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, no need for formalities."

"I'm asking you, what territory is this, and which branch of the Liyang clan do you belong to?"

Everyone present was stunned by Shen Mu's words.

Li Yanggu cautiously said, "Senior, this is the northwestern region of the Ten Thousand Mountains, which belongs to the territory of the Chiwu Kingdom. My Li Yang clan is one of the three major families of the Chiwu Kingdom."

"The northwestern region of the Ten Thousand Mountains? I see, no wonder you're so weak." Shen Mu looked enlightened.

"Senior, are you perhaps not from my Northwest Continent?" Li Yanggu asked in a low voice.

Shen Mu waved his hand: "That's right. I went into the Ten Thousand Mountains to experience life and death in order to break through to the Divine Realm, and I accidentally ended up in your Northwest region."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanggu, Li Yangchen, and the guards all looked at Shen Mu with awe.

This sentence contains a wealth of information: the Ten Thousand Mountains stretch from northwest to southeast, traversing the entire continent.

Even in the narrowest part of the mountain range, there are countless billions of miles of vastness, including the dwelling places of demon gods.

Being able to traverse the Hundred Thousand Mountains, this senior must possess power comparable to that of a god.

Li Yangchen looked intently at Shen Mu: "Senior, would you be willing to visit my Li Yang Clan? Although my Li Yang Clan is a family specializing in weapon crafting, we also have a lineage in alchemy."

"This Pixiu is an ancient ferocious beast, and it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to refine a Bloodline Golden Core from it. I am willing to ask the clan elders to refine a Bloodline Golden Core for you, senior!"

Bloodline Golden Elixir, as the name suggests, is a golden elixir made by extracting the power of one's bloodline and combining it with other treasures and spiritual herbs. It can enhance one's cultivation level and strengthen one's bloodline.

In comparison, Shen Mu's previous method of simply grilling the food was the most wasteful and extravagant option.

Before Shen Mu could even respond, Li Yanggu quickly scolded Li Yangchen, "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense!"

After speaking, Li Yanggu looked at Shen Mu with a somewhat panicked expression: "Senior, this junior of the family is ignorant and unreasonable. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

Clearly, Li Yangchen's actions just now must have violated some taboo, but Shen Mu didn't seem to care.

"Your Liyang clan can even refine bloodline golden pills?"

Shen Mu looked at Li Yangchen with feigned surprise.

After being reprimanded, Li Yangchen realized he had violated a taboo and was initially quite nervous.

Upon hearing Shen Mu's question, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yangchen patted his chest casually and said, "Senior, you can rest assured. In the entire Chiwu Kingdom, apart from the royal Chiwu clan, only my Li Yang clan is the most proficient in alchemy."

"Given your experience, you must know the principle that alchemy and artifact crafting are inseparable. It would be an honor for our Li Yang Clan to have you as a guest, and we will certainly not disappoint you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanggu's face paled even more: "Child, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Does a senior need you to explain the principle that pills and artifacts are inseparable?"

Li Yangchen was also unaware of why he had been so reckless today.

In fact, all of this stemmed from a suggestion from Shen Mu on a psychological level, but the level of understanding of the people present was simply insufficient to detect it.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright."

Shen Mu laughed heartily, seemingly amused by Li Yangchen, and said, "You little rascal, you have the heart of a child, without so much scheming, which is quite similar to me when I was young."

"Little one, I will accept your invitation, but if the Li Yang family doesn't treat you well, I'll lose my temper."

As Shen Mu finished speaking, Li Yangchen's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

How could such a war god be invited to his home as a guest by me with just a few words?

The term "God of War" describes those super beings who are not at the divine realm, but are no weaker than the divine realm.

Such super beings, like ancient ferocious beasts, are far fewer in number than true god-level powerhouses and demon gods.

It should be understood that the Divine Realm is a truly transcendent realm. Even if tens of thousands of peak Transcendent Realm experts were to besiege a Divine Realm expert, they would only be able to offer their necks for slaughter.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Mu's gaze fell on the heavily injured Li Yanggu.

"In that case, I'll help you one more time."

After speaking, Shen Mu perfectly activated his understanding of the Dao of Life, and boundless power of heaven and earth gathered in Shen Mu's palm, condensing into pure chaotic vitality.

In an instant, the vast sky was illuminated, leaving only a lush, verdant glow.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, countless plants began to grow wildly, their aura and bloodline strength increasing.

"go!"

As Shen Mu finished speaking, the brilliant azure light in his palm surged, transforming into a phantom of a verdant dragon, which then entered the body of Li Yanggu.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yanggu's pale face visibly regained its color, and the previously unstable bloodline fluctuations stabilized again, eliminating the risk of falling back into lower realms.

Li Yangchen, standing to the side, was so shocked by what he saw that he was speechless.

Such a powerful understanding of the artistic conception is something even our ancestor didn't possess.

Generally speaking, the Transcendent Realm is divided into nine levels based on the strength of bloodline, physical body, and soul.

However, if one comprehends the essence that aligns with the power of one's own bloodline and creates one's own bloodline divine technique at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, then one can be called the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

That's right, almost none of the Chaos Realm beings in this world have comprehended the fundamental Dao.

Only a handful of peak Chaos Realm beings have comprehended the Great Dao of Origin. If the Eternal True Gods of the Origin Continent knew about such an excellent cultivation environment, they would probably be green with envy.

Li Yanggu felt that his injuries had almost completely healed, so he quickly stood up and wanted to bow deeply to Shen Mu.

Shen Mu waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, I don't care about formalities."

As he spoke, Shen Mu reached out and patted the head of the boy beside him: "Little guy, let's go. Didn't you invite me to visit your Li Yang clan?"

Li Yangchen was extremely excited, and even his speech became incoherent, and he couldn't even speak properly.

"Hahaha……"

Shen Mu shook his head and laughed, his voice echoing through the deep, dense forest.

Before long, the Li Yang clan returned by the same route, but this time Shen Mu was with them.

Along the way, Li Yangchen fawned over Shen Mu in every way, subtly revealing his desire to become his disciple, but he dared not say it outright for fear of offending Shen Mu again.

Shen Mu pretended not to notice, focusing his attention on the evening breeze in the mountains, where a faint fragrance of grass and trees wafted and diffused into the dark green forest.

"I hope this year's competition will be exciting enough."

Shen Mu gazed at the distant horizon, where a crimson sun was setting, dyeing large swaths of clouds red and gilding the mountains and forests with a layer of gold dust.

As Shen Mu's gaze turned toward the sunset, a strange sense of eye contact once again emanated from the direction of the sun.
