Therefore, the abyssal beasts above the Eighth Layer Heaven focus mainly on suppression and expulsion. After all, at such a level, temporary imprisonment and suppression are generally much easier than plete extermination.
Chen Mu stood in one corner of the high tower, his expression contemplative.
He was observing the structure of Molten Fire City. This palace-like divine weapon contained Void Mysterious that was likely far more profound than that of the Fan Gu Palace. He suspected it might have been forged by a Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, an Upper Divine Weapon.
Upper Divine Weapons have the same enhancement effects on power; the most patible Upper Divine Weapon will maximize the enhancement. At his current state, without prehending the Three Mysterious Fusion, even mastering the Fan Gu Palace fully wouldn’t unleash its entire power, and its effects wouldn’t be much different from the Heavenly Mirror.
Molten Fire City was the same.
This palace-like divine weapon might indeed contain the Mystical Fusion of Four Profound Mysteries, but such a weapon only reaches plete power in the hands of a Ninth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch; others, even the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, cannot fully unleash its power.
Yet, even so, its inherent Void Suppression Force remains tremendously strong, carrying a grand world like the Molten Fire Realm seems to pose no great burden for it. The movements of Lv He Divine Monarch and others against the abyssal beasts are also pletely suppressed.
"It’s a pity I can’t delve into its mysteries."
Chen Mu slightly shook his head inwardly.
Fan Gu Palace was granted him access by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, enabling him to directly prehend the Mysterious Power contained within the Fan Gu Palace. However, he didn’t have such access with Molten Fire City and couldn’t directly glimpse its essence, only observing from the sidelines, yielding little insight.
Nonetheless, Chen Mu felt little disturbance over this. After all, the path to the God Realm requires taking steps one at a time. Now, he hadn’t fully grasped the Three Mysterious Fusion yet. Even if he could observe the essence of Molten Fire City, directly perceive the roots of Four Mysterious Fusion, it would still be too early for him to truly understand anything.
With the abyss beast exterminated, Chen Mu withdrew his gaze, sat cross-legged deep within the high tower, and returned his focus to the Interface Avatar, continuing to prehend Void Dao and accumulate experience.
Defending the city is inevitably different from exploring alone outside. Alone, one needs to stay alert almost constantly, while defending the city doesn’t require constant vigilance. Molten Fire City itself acts as a defense line, and with other numerous Divine Monarchs around, even if abyssal beasts attack, there will be ample time to react.
...
Hundreds of Boundary Years swiftly passed.
"Hiss!"
Outside Molten Fire City, a hissing sound resonated.
Before them stretched a giant snake abyssal beast, entirely crimson red, with a long serpentine tongue, its jet-black, gem-like eyes fixed on Molten Fire City. It was colossal, stretching thousands of miles, exuding an ominous aura.
This giant snake abyss beast forcibly invaded the Void Barrier outside Molten Fire City within a moment. Unlike ordinary abyssal beasts, its intrusion was more like corrosion and entry; the Void Barrier offered almost no resistance.
Clearly,
this giant snake abyss beast possessed certain Void Lineage methods!
Inside the high tower, everyone, including Jingtian, Lv He, and numerous other Divine Monarchs, promptly looked up, turning their eyes towards the direction of the giant snake abyss beast’s attack.
Lv He and other Divine Monarchs’ expressions shifted upon a glance; this time came not a Seventh Layer Heaven abyss beast but a being whose aura clearly reached the Eighth Layer Heaven level!
Eighth Layer Heaven!
Though everyone was at the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak, facing an Eighth Layer Heaven abyss beast, each had means to escape. But they could only escape; confronting it directly was impossible, and blocking it would be equally challenging.
Jingtian’s eyes flickered as he prepared to step out, but Chen Mu, who had been silent in a corner, rose gently and stepped forward, his whole being vanished from the high tower as his voice resonated.
"I’ll go."
Chen Mu came to the outside of the high tower, his figure slightly swayed, reaching the edge of Molten Fire City, facing the giant snake.
Time passed quickly; he had arrived to guard the city over four hundred Boundary Years ago. In these four hundred plus Boundary Years, Molten Fire City had faced many abyssal beast attacks, yet he hadn’t intervened even once.
When confronted with Seventh Layer Heaven abyss beasts, it was mostly Lv He Divine Monarch and others who intervened. And Eighth Layer Heaven abyss beasts had two appearances, both handled by Jingtian Divine Monarch to briefly trap and repel. Now that another Eighth Layer Heaven abyss beast arrived, it was naturally his turn to act.
Seeing Chen Mu move, Jingtian Divine Monarch paused.
This abyss beast’s aura suggested its strength was similar to his; truly battling it was almost impossible to slay it. His only recourse would be to employ methods to briefly trap and drive it away.
But this abyss beast’s methods vaguely contained traces of Void Lineage’s mystery, making it more troublesome to suppress and confine. He immediately discarded many response strategies.
"This abyss beast is not easy to handle..."
Jingtian Divine Monarch uttered a silent thought, already reaching the high tower’s edge.
Chen Mu’s strength might be somewhat lacking in parison, but he cultivated the Void Lineage, and thus his methods of suppression and confinement should exceed his Creation Lineage’s, while abyssal beasts aren’t cultivators, their tactics are relatively crude, merely imprisoning and expelling them can be somewhat simpler.
