Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 788: Chapter 434 The World is Going to Change!_2

As his voice trailed off,

Chen Mu surveyed his surroundings, seeing the endless Ruins Sea before him, where the tumultuous waves had now gradually calmed down.

A sense of unobstructed freedom surged within him, as though he was as free and unimpeded as the world itself; it was not just about shattering the assassination efforts by the seven people from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion but also about having destroyed the Effortless Formation and dissolved the assassination plot since his return from Xunmu Cave Heaven to Da Xuan. The nearby Void Tide had also gradually settled, giving him a feeling as if a fish had returned to the ocean.

In Xunmu Cave Heaven, he had been restricted by the Power of Heaven and Earth. He could feel that he was unable to advance to the Blood Exchange Realm there. Of course, if Xunmu were willing to help him, it indeed might have been possible for him to break into the next realm in Xunmu Cave Heaven, but clearly, he was not going to communicate this matter with Xunmu.

Now,

having returned to Da Xuan and the Outer Sea, all pressure was lifted. With the assassination thwarted and the Celestial Humans fled, he felt that only a thin veil stood between his Body Tempering Cultivation and the Blood Exchange Realm.

That veil was so fragile that he needed only a single finger to easily pierce through it.

Even,

Chen Mu had a creeping longing, a desire emanating from every drop of blood in his body, wishing to invoke the Power of Heaven and Earth to infuse his body and break through into the Blood Exchange Realm right there!

Yet, he ultimately suppressed this impulse.

Even He was at the limit of the Seventh Realms, while Blood Exchange came as naturally as water flows into a channel, without any bottlenecks and could be achieved in a snap. However, recalling the covert attack his mentor, Qin Mengjun, had suffered while attempting Blood Exchange, he couldn’t possibly place himself in danger quite so readily. He needed to find a safe place to hide first.

After all, the process of Blood Exchange was not to be achieved overnight.

With these thoughts ascending, the surging heat of his blood gradually subsided. Chen Mu cast his gaze towards Dragonwood Island Master and the others in the distance.

“Dragonwood Island Master, I’ve heard that there is a Superior Grade Sea Calming Pearl on Dragonwood Island. It is something I need. According to the rules of Dragonwood Island, may I exchange it for Xunmu Spirit Liquid?”

Chen Mu spoke calmly and evenly.

Before entering Xunmu Cave Heaven, he had hidden among the grandmasters, under the leadership of Dragonwood Island Master.

After leaving Xunmu Cave Heaven, facing Dragonwood Island Master again, who was one of the top-level masters in the Blood Exchange Realm from the Outer Sea, he did not deliberately look down upon him, but his heart felt much more indifferent than before.

Celestial Human.

Even though he didn’t possess the realm of a Celestial Human, he had the strength of one. Being a Celestial Human meant standing at the pinnacle of the mundane world, naturally overlooking all from the peak of the mountains.

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s words, Dragonwood Island Master first paused slightly, then without daring to be negligent, immediately responded, “Indeed, there is such an item in the storages of Dragonwood Island. If that’s what Peak Master Chen needs, I will have it brought to you immediately.”

A Superior Grade Sea Calming Pearl indeed belonged to the treasures of significant rarity; it also lingered in his mind.

“There’s no rush; since it’s there, just keep it on Dragonwood Island for a while. After some time, I’ll come to retrieve it. I’ll hand over these Xunmu Spirit Liquids to you for now.”

With an easygoing tone, Chen Mu then waved his hand, and a batch of Xunmu Spirit Liquid appeared in his palm, flying towards where Dragonwood Island Master stood.

Refining Spirit Weapons wasn’t urgent right now. Breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm was his priority. Everything else was secondary. In his current state, he was naturally unafraid that Dragonwood Island Master would covet his Xunmu Spirit Liquid. On one hand, the quantity wasn’t large; on the other, one would need the audacity to do so.

As one of the top-level Blood Exchange Realm masters of the Outer Sea, just beneath Celestial Humans and one of the strongest characters, Dragonwood Island Master was normally undaunted even facing some Celestial Humans and had the ability to retreat unscathed from their hands. But at this moment, facing Chen Mu, he was clearly somewhat cautious.

It was indeed because Chen Mu was too monstrously talented.

Nowadays, no one could precisely predict Chen Mu’s future achievements, but it was almost certain that once Chen Mu stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm, he would probably be one of the top figures in the tens of thousands of years since the birth of Body Tempering Martial Arts!

Thump.

Dragonwood Island Master finally reached out and caught the batch of Xunmu Spirit Liquid that Chen Mu had tossed over.

And just as he was about to say something else and looked up, he saw that there was no one left on the sea surface, leaving only the vast, glittering waters.

“He’s gone…”

Dragonwood Island Master held the Xunmu Spirit Liquid in his hand, gazing in the direction where Chen Mu had vanished, and inhaled deeply.

He had practiced martial arts until now, faced numerous trials and tribulations, and had seen many exceptional talents; he himself was among the best, but in his mind, no one could compare to Chen Mu.

Most likely,

the next time they saw Chen Mu, he would have become a Blood Exchange Body.

The other Blood Exchange masters from the Pure Sea Palace and the Vast Ocean Pavilion also exchanged glances, their minds feeling tumultuous like the sea.

After today, whether it be Da Xuan or the Outer Sea, everything was bound to be overturned!

“Alright, there are still important matters to attend to.”

After taking a deep breath, the Dragonwood Island Master forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, slowly spoke up, and moved forward.

Chen Mu’s battle had ended, and it was also time to quickly bring back the reinforcements from the Xunmu Cave Heaven to prevent further incidents.

The duration of the Void Tide wasn’t much longer.

“Let’s go.”

A Blood Exchange Realm expert from the Vast Ocean Pavilion took a deep look in the direction Chen Mu had disappeared, then refocused and followed the Dragonwood Island Master.

Due to the major battle between Chen Mu and the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, the local void had been greatly damaged, and even though the ruptured void had healed by now, due to the Void Tide, the nearby void remained fragile and affected.

However, the Blood Exchange masters present weren’t limited to just the Dragonwood Island Master; with the Dragonwood Island Master locating the node and reopening the void channel, others also acted to stabilize the channel.

A moment later,

The first Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster emerged from the channel, not Liu Qingyan, but a grandmaster from Tingchao Cliff.

Clearly, the grandmasters inside Xunmu Cave Heaven were unclear of the situation outside, so the Tingchao Cliff grandmaster took the lead in scouting, after all, the Ruins Sea was Tingchao Cliff’s territory; even if something had changed outside, something major concerning Chen Mu, they still deserved some respect.

“Island Master.”

The Tingchao Cliff grandmaster who had emerged instantly saw the Dragonwood Island Master and, noticing the calm situation outside, heaved a sigh of relief and gave a bow to the Dragonwood Island Master.

The Dragonwood Island Master, seeing his grandmaster emerge, also nodded slightly, waved him over, and then solemnly started to inquire about the events that had occurred inside Xunmu Cave Heaven.

Given Chen Mu’s capabilities, equating the Power of Heaven and Earth, he definitely could not have been silent in Xunmu Cave Heaven, and must have caused a significant disturbance; the current state inside Xunmu Cave Heaven remained unknown.

As the Dragonwood Island Master was questioning his grandmaster, more grandmasters, including Jiang Han and Yan Hong, gradually appeared inside the void channel, realizing there were no issues.

And a moment later,

the Dragonwood Island Master along with numerous other Blood Exchange Realm masters from the Outer Sea had fully grasped the situation inside Xunmu Cave Heaven, quite shocked, yet with Chen Mu having single-handedly routed Pavilion Master and seven others, three dead and four fled, they were able to accept the internal events of Xunmu Cave Heaven.

As for Yan Hong, Jiang Han, and others like Liu Qingyan, upon knowing the circumstances that occurred over the Ruins Sea, they were all considerably shaken.

Seven Blood Exchange ambushers!

Chen Mu slaughtered three and four fled!

Even with the preceding events of Chen Mu sweeping through the Spirit People Race, hearing such news still inevitably shocked them.

After all, the Blood Exchange Realm was the pinnacle of Body Tempering Martial Arts and the highest realm pursued by many grandmasters, but in front of Chen Mu who had yet to step into Blood Exchange, they were so fragile!

Using Marrow Cleansing to slay Blood Exchange, cutting down Celestial Humans!

Moreover, without much thought, if Chen Mu safely survived this ordeal and returned to the Da Xuan World, then the threshold of Blood Exchange Realm would likely be easily broken; Chen Mu was already so formidable now, once he stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm, it was unimaginable what unparalleled martial force he would possess.

The world’s structure was about to change!

Nearly everyone had this thought in their minds.
