Chapter 254 Slaying the God King, Suppressing the Heavenly Venerable

Shenlu Mountain borders the Shiwan Mountains and belongs to the frontier of the Chiwu Dynasty.

Therefore, every unusual event at Shenlu Mountain would alarm the creatures within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Fortunately, there are few high-level ferocious beasts on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and peak ferocious beasts are even rarer.

Therefore, even if a small beast tide occurs, the dozen or so elders of the Chiwu clan are able to handle it.

Boom!

Vibrating sounds emanated from the dark mountain forest, followed by wisps of deep black mist spreading out.

These black mists are formed by the convergence of numerous ferocious beasts, their fierce aura condensed together. The entire black mist contains at least a thousand ferocious beasts.

"They're here! Get ready for battle!"

The elder at the head of the group gave a low shout, forming a strange hand seal in his palm, and his powerful qi and divine energy burst forth.

More than a dozen elders joined forces to create an endless flame, which eventually coalesced into a phantom of a divine bird burning with eternal flames.

"Hey!"

With a long cry from the divine bird, the combined attack technique unleashed by the sixteen half-step Divine Realm cultivators, though far from being a true Divine Realm Venerable, was a one-sided massacre against a group of high-level or even mid-level ferocious beasts.

As the crimson flames rose, the endless black mist crackled and burned.

Roar!Roar!Roar!

Various roars and the sounds of thousands of beasts galloping rang out as these ferocious beasts stared at the colorful clouds atop Shenlu Mountain, their eyes bloodshot.

This is a look of longing from the depths of the soul, the process of a ferocious beast transforming into a demon god, which is different from a human breaking through to the Venerable Realm.

Humans are born with great wisdom; even ordinary people in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm can comprehend the Great Dao.

The ferocious beasts, on the other hand, rise from ignorance and evolve through instinct, which cannot be considered cultivation at all.

However, ferocious beasts have a much longer lifespan than humans. Ordinary high-level ferocious beasts can live for more than ten epochs, and some peak ferocious beasts have even lived for more than a hundred epochs.

Such a long lifespan is necessary for the transformation of ferocious beasts.

Ferocious beasts are ignorant and unwise. Only through the accumulation of time and the tempering of their consciousness and mind can they gradually refine their spiritual thinking, embark on the path of comprehending the Great Dao, and thus transform into demon gods.

"Hey!"

Divine birds soared, and boundless divine flames rained down across the sky, turning hundreds of miles around into a raging inferno.

Even as the ferocious beasts were engulfed in divine fire and howled in agony, they still stared at the colorful clouds atop Divine Furnace Mountain, their eyes burning red.

Even with their intelligence, the ferocious beasts could not resist this desire that came from their very souls.

"Humans with the bloodline of true spirits are so weak... You have truly defiled this supreme bloodline."

A soft, feminine voice rang out, echoing across the southwestern borders of the Chiwu clan.

Then, a beam of cyan light shot out from the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

A humanoid figure emerged from the azure divine light, and wherever it passed, all the ferocious beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, seemingly in worship.

The Azure Demon God's gaze fell upon the Divine Furnace Mountain, and the same longing spread through his heart.

"This fluctuation... it must be an ancient relic!"

"Even if I have to fight that old man with the Crimson Crow bloodline, I have to get it!"

Boom!

Endless azure divine light burst forth from the demon god's body, transforming into an azure divine domain that instantly controlled the surrounding spacetime, forming a virtual universe.

An immense pressure emanating from their bloodline and soul swept over them, instantly causing the dozen or so elders of the Chiwu clan to break out in a cold sweat.

A humanoid being... This is a demon god!

Deep within Shenlu Mountain, a translucent, uniquely textured furnace floats in mid-air, with hazy, colorful clouds flowing above it, faintly reflecting the heart of all spirits, forming an endless, illusory yet real scene.

A strange flame burns and rises inside the divine furnace; it is the fire of wisdom of all living beings, with endless wondrous uses.

Beside the divine furnace, Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes, where countless soul symbols intertwined before finally disappearing.

For Shen Mu, the entire process of refining the treasure was also a process of sorting out his understanding of the Dao of the Soul.

"So noisy!"

With a thought, endless golden light condensed in front of Shen Mu, transforming into a golden bow burning with illusory flames.

Immediately, a beam of wisdom light separated from the fire of wisdom within the divine furnace, solidified instantly, and transformed into a divine arrow.

With one hand holding a bow and the other nocking an arrow, Shen Mu's eyes intertwined with the power of cause and effect, transforming into a golden divine wheel outside his pupils.

In Shen Mu's vision, endless threads of cause and effect intertwined, one of which connected Shen Mu himself with the humanoid demon bathed in azure divine light.

hum!

The bowstring trembled, and as Shen Mu drew back the divine bow, the entire world seemed to be muted, and the power of cause and effect completely locked onto that demon god.

Outside, the demon god, who had just been about to unleash a massacre, instantly felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.

This is one of the few times since this demon god achieved the divine realm that he has felt a sense of impending death.

"How is that possible? That old fellow of the Crimson Crow bloodline was clearly on the verge of death... There must be other powerful figures within the Crimson Crow's territory!"

The information about this demon god was far behind, and it had no idea about the cause and effect.

It was too late to run away then.

call out!

In the next instant, a dazzling and brilliant rainbow seemed to transcend endless time and space, shooting out instantly from the body of this demon god.

"Aww!"

The azure demon god was startled and let out a shriek. Before he could react, an indescribable surge of will erupted, instantly destroying his will and pulling him into an endless illusion.

The moment Shen Mu achieved the Chaos Realm, his will transcended the God-King barrier and reached this ultimate realm.

But you should know that Shen Mu transformed from the True God Realm to the Chaos Realm in one go.

The intensity of consciousness was condensed a million times during this process, while the intensity of willpower only increased by about a hundred times, far from reaching its limit.

In the subsequent trials and enlightenments in this realm, Shen Mu's will was constantly transforming and improving.

On the eve of the banquet where the venerable ones from all nations gathered, Shen Mu's will had already reached the second level of the God King realm.

That's why Shen Mu was able to use his transcendent Chaos Realm to instantly trap the two God Kings in an illusion, leaving them unable to resist.

"There really are people who are courting death."

At the summit of the majestic Divine Furnace Mountain, endless hazy colorful clouds burst forth, and Shen Mu's figure appeared, his gaze falling on the huge ferocious beast that had fallen to the ground.

Shen Mu's attack directly knocked the demonic bird back to its original form, which was a falcon-like creature covered in blue scales with a wingspan of hundreds of feet!

This demonic beast was surrounded by the rules of the Great Dao of Wind and Thunder, clearly having comprehended a branch of the origin of wind and thunder and achieved the divine realm.

"Your Excellency!"

The dozen or so elders of the Chiwu clan immediately bowed to Shen Mu in greeting.

Shen Mu waved his hand, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"It's like having a pillow when you're sleepy."

"My Myriad Spirits Furnace has forged the wisdom and profound light of tens of thousands of Chaos Realm beings, but it lacks a higher level of wisdom and profound light."

"This ferocious beast arrived just in time!"

Shen Mu raised his hand, and an invisible force enveloped the ferocious bird, preparing to extract its consciousness and spirituality.

"stop!"

The ancient Taoist chants echoed deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The endless wind and thunder divine realm surged deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, merging with this world.

In an instant, the world darkened.

Endless primordial power surged forth from heaven and earth, condensing into a gigantic demonic beast avatar tens of millions of feet tall, its star-like eyes fixed on Shen Mu.

"Humans... please spare this child."

Shen Mu looked at those enormous eyes, which seemed like a pair of stars, and felt somewhat helpless.

What a fantastical world! You beat up the little ones and the old ones come along.

The true form of a typical Divine Realm Venerable is only about a hundred feet in size. If their domain of rules expands and gathers the power of heaven and earth, the manifested Dharma form will be about ten thousand feet in size.

This colossal Dharma form, towering tens of millions of feet tall, clearly far surpasses the level of a Divine Realm Venerable. It has mobilized the world's primordial power and is an existence at the Heavenly Venerable level.

"You junior, you rashly interfered and disturbed my seclusion. What is your punishment?"

Faced with Shen Mu's questioning, the Dharma Image, shrouded in an endless domain of wind and thunder, spoke again, its voice like thunder.

"Human, what more do you want?"

"This child was indeed at fault, but since I've personally intervened, this matter should end here."

Such blunt words made Shen Mu laugh.

If this old monster actually produces some treasures, Shen Mu might consider letting this ferocious bird go.

But surprisingly, this thing had the nerve to persuade Shen Mu to release the ferocious bird.

"Who do you think you are?"

As Shen Mu finished speaking, an arrow feather shimmering with hazy, colorful light flew out from the body of the ferocious bird.

At the tip of the arrow, a coarse, invisible, and formless spiritual thought was also drawn out.

This time, Shen Mu deliberately and violently extracted the spiritual essence of the mind. As the spiritual essence of the mind was extracted, the soul of this falcon, which was trapped in the illusion, was also awakened.

However, its soul only let out a miserable scream before collapsing completely.

"You deserve to die!"

"I will turn all the ancestral lands of your Crimson Crow bloodline into a wasteland of calamity!"

A deep, murderous voice echoed!

The boundless power of wind and thunder surged, causing the entire Dharma form to transform completely into a giant claw that blotted out the sky and sun.

The claw gave the illusion that it was even larger than the entire Chiwu Dynasty, reaching out towards Shen Mu.

"Hahaha, Wind and Thunder Demon Lord, this is going too far by bullying the weak."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Celestial Palace?"

Behind Shen Mu, a spatial-temporal realm suddenly appeared in the sky, distorting the entire world.

In the distorted world, a weathered, ancient humanoid dharma body, seemingly originating from the primordial era, materialized.

"Are you going to stop me?"

The power of wind and thunder surged, retracing back to its origin, transforming into a vast domain of wind and thunder.

Within the Domain of Wind and Thunder, the figure of a human youth who also possessed a somewhat eerie appearance emerged.

"Whose fault is it if you're not as skilled as others?"

"The various celestial palaces and your Demon God Palace had a prior agreement: after achieving godhood, one can only fight against others within the same realm. Do you intend to break this agreement?"

The ancient celestial deity's image also disintegrated, revealing a middle-aged phantom figure sizing up a dark gold, mottled battle armor.

The middle-aged man's figure traversed the sky and arrived beside Shen Mu.

The entire process involved instantly traversing the territories of several Chiwu dynasties; it was a true teleportation.

The stability of spacetime in this realm is terrifyingly high; even beings who achieve godhood through the Void Dao cannot teleport directly.

To teleport, one must mobilize the primal power of this world and create a spacetime vortex.

Only by achieving the second level of the God-King realm, with one's life imprint engraved on the supreme rules of this world, namely the Heavenly Dao, can one mobilize the power of origin.

"I wonder if it's the Ancient Celestial Venerable or the Eternal Celestial Venerable?"

Shen Mu directly transmitted his soul to this ancient Celestial Venerable.

The middle-aged Celestial Venerable was somewhat surprised as to why Shen Mu was secretly transmitting his voice, but on the surface, he maintained a standoff with the Wind and Thunder Demon Venerable while secretly transmitting his voice to Shen Mu.

"My name is Gu Zhou. Venerable Mu can simply call me Gu Zhou."

The Ancient Heng Dynasty has two Heavenly Venerables, one named Gu and the other Heng, both of whom have comprehended the Great Dao of the Origin of Time. This is not a secret among the many kingdoms under the Ancient Heng Dynasty.

"Ancient Celestial Venerable, if I can trap this old fellow in an illusion, can you suppress him?"

Shen Mu did not receive an immediate response from the ancient celestial being after he said this.

At this moment, even the Ancient Celestial Venerable was stunned for a moment.

How can a being at the Venerable Realm trap a Celestial Venerable level being in an illusion?

The suppressive power of this realm is extremely strong, but there is one power that cannot be suppressed, and that is the power of the world's origin.

Therefore, the gap between the first and second levels of God King in this realm is so great that it is almost insurmountable.

"Venerable Muhammad... are you serious?"

"I would naturally not speak recklessly before the Ancient Celestial Venerable."

"Even if we can't completely render this old guy unable to resist, we can at least reduce his strength to less than one-tenth."

After Shen Mu reiterated this point, a hint of fighting spirit appeared in the eyes of the ancient celestial being, and his gaze fell on the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord.

"Feng Lei, if you are not convinced, you can try to see if you can encounter Venerable Mu while I am blocking your way."

"If you can do it, I won't stop you!"

As soon as the Ancient Celestial Venerable finished speaking, the endless domain of wind and thunder instantly blazed brightly.

"Are you telling the truth?"

The Wind and Thunder Demon Lord had unparalleled confidence in his movement techniques.

Even among the many Celestial Venerables in this realm, the Wind and Thunder Demon Venerable considered himself to be among the best in terms of movement techniques.

It would indeed be unrealistic to capture or kill Shen Mu under the protection of the Ancient Celestial Venerable.

After all, Shen Mu was not an inanimate object, and his own combat power was extremely high, making him virtually invincible in the divine realm.

But merely encountering it isn't a problem.

"Of course it's true... but if you are suppressed by me and Venerable Mu because of this, you can't blame anyone else."

"good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boundless source of wind and thunder was activated and directly merged into the void.

The Wind and Thunder Demon Lord truly transformed into an incomparably dazzling wind and thunder, instantly illuminating Shen Mu's side.

The whole process was extremely fast, but it was not impossible for a being at the Celestial Venerable level to react in time.

But the Ancient Celestial Venerable just watched from the side, watching the Wind and Thunder Demon Venerable reflected directly in front of Shen Mu.

"It seems this human venerable one has been tricked by the old man!"

With a flap of its wings, a pair of sharp claws instantly enveloped Shen Mu.

"This is the moment we've been waiting for!!!"

A hazy, colorful light emanated from between Shen Mu's brows, and the Myriad Spirits Furnace burst forth, suddenly enlarging!

An endless, overwhelming pressure of will erupted forth.

Mountains and seas collapsed, the sky crumbled!

Boundless will condensed upon this precious furnace, instantly sublimating and achieving the ultimate realm!

The Myriad Spirits Furnace instantly enlarged and then crashed down!

At this moment, in the vision of the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord, Shen Mu's treasure furnace transformed into something infinitely large.

The enormous treasure furnace seemed to transform into the entire sky, and even the vast Hundred Thousand Mountains could not compare to its grandeur!

when!

The enormous roar shook the entire world.

The ancient and colossal Celestial Demon was smashed back to its original form, letting out a mournful cry before instantly losing consciousness and plummeting towards the earth!

Faced with Shen Mu's ultimate God-King will, even this Celestial Venerable-level being would lose its senses for a moment.

For the God-King, a moment of distraction could determine the outcome of the battle!
