Chapter 786: Chapter 433: Momentum Has Formed!_2

However, such situations are exceedingly rare, as most experts of the Blood Exchange Realm value their lives above all and are extremely cautious in their actions. They seldom venture into dangerous territories lightly, and when it comes to precious treasures, they will weigh the costs and benefits before making a move. It’s even rarer for both parties engaged in combat to fight to the death, as such events are almost always recorded in history for reference!

Hisss.

Having shattered Chu Changhua’s body with a single move, Chen Mu took a light breath. Wounds on his body—his right shoulder and left arm among other areas—were not bleeding. Instead, the flesh wriggled continuously as the injuries visibly healed at a rapid rate, about to vanish without a trace in an instant.

“A Rainbow Piercing the Sun.”

The waves exploded as a figure emerged, wielding a Purple Bamboo Staff overhead, attacking right at Chen Mu. It was the elderly Purple Bamboo, coughing blood continuously, his body also drenched with it. However, his strike was incredibly fierce, aiming for the back of Chen Mu’s head, intending to smash his skull and kill him on the spot in the wake of his execution of Chu Changhua.

Chen Mu, however, snorted coldly, raising his left hand to forcefully catch the staff’s end!

The tremendous force surged down from the staff, shaking Chen Mu’s left arm violently. Fresh blood spurted from his not fully healed wounds, yet his gaze did not falter. His left hand gripped the staff like a dragon’s claw, and his right hand tugged forward.

Whoosh!

The complexion of the elderly Purple Bamboo changed, and without hesitation, he let go and retreated.

Chen Mu’s hand grasped empty air, but it was a feint. His right hand moved upward to grab the middle of the Purple Bamboo Staff and, wielding the staff with both hands, the Vigorous Momentum and his immense physical strength merged into one, thrusting forward!

Ssch.

The Purple Bamboo Staff, like a long spear, burst forth from Chen Mu’s hands, piercing the air towards the elderly Purple Bamboo. The latter, with a drastic change in expression, realized he couldn’t dodge in time. With a guttural roar, he shook both arms in a vain attempt to deflect the blow.

But the force and Vigorous Momentum of the attack were even more ferocious and swift than he anticipated. His attempt only slightly slowed the staff’s trajectory, ultimately failing to block it. The staff’s tip, sharp like a long spear, pierced through his chest and abdomen, bringing forth a spray of blood and visceral fragments, scattering into the sea.

“Cough.”

With a gush, the elderly Purple Bamboo spat out a large mouthful of blood, plummeting towards the sea below. Even for a master of the Blood Exchange Realm, such an injury to the internal organs was fatal!

With Chu Changhua dead and the elderly Purple Bamboo mortally wounded, the Effortless Formation collapsed.

In an instant.

Chen Mu felt the oppressive gloom that had been weighing down this area dissipate, and the barrier that had hindered the merging of his Inner Breath with the world vanished, akin to a drowning person suddenly drawing a fresh breath of air.

At that very moment, two figures—one to the left and the other to the right—launched an attack from behind, none other than the Ghostly Nether Sect Master and the Master of the Blood Hidden Pavilion. One with an open palm and the other with a pointed finger, they tried to deal Chen Mu a fatal blow from behind.

Immediately after.

Xiang Yuan, soaked in blood, the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, and Lie Yuan also joined in the attack from various directions. Their Inner Breath roared tumultuously, still in a desperate state, warping the Void even before their moves landed.

Yet with the collapse of the Effortless Formation, Chen Mu faced the joint strike of five men without any additional movement, merely standing firm, drawing in the air with his left and right hands. As heaven and earth converged, an immense flow of Qiankun Power spread out.

Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal!

Chen Mu, now free from all restraints, rapidly recovered from his wounds before the eyes of all, no longer dodging or diverting, but striking out with a vigorous Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal!

In that moment, the entire surroundings seemed to lose their color, with the brilliant radiance resembling the sole essence of all creation, plunging into the onslaught of the five attackers, making the entire sea surface fall silent!

After a brief hush.

In the center of the area, the Void suddenly shattered, exploding in a spread of pitch-black rifts!

The Void was pierced through!

The collapse did not stop there. Those dark rifts spread like a spider web, increasing their reach until the entire Void could no longer hold and collapsed inward, creating a terrifying Void Rift!

The closest, Lie Yuan, whitened in horror, struggling to retreat. But the previous strike was committed without room to draw back, with all his strength already expended. For a moment, he couldn’t re-channel his power, and being too close, he couldn’t escape. He was violently torn into the chaos, and even with the techniques of the Blood Exchange Realm, he was unable to stir the slightest ripple. In an instant, his entire body shattered into nothingness, turning into dust that was devoured by the Void.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

The others, like the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, who were slightly further away, hurriedly retreated, narrowly avoiding the collapsing Void area, but showing terror and shock in their eyes.

The Effortless Formation collapsed, there was no longer any suppression in this area, and the Void Tide was still not over, leaving the space at its weakest. Chen Mu’s skills had reached the Celestial Human Level, and with the combined force of their deadly strike against him, the damage caused was not just a shattering of the Void, but a catastrophic collapse that stretched for dozens of yards!

Whoosh.

Faced with the collapse of the Void, Chen Mu also chose to retreat at the first opportunity. Under such chaotic Void Force, everyone was equal, with no exceptions. Even if he were caught up in it, he would be shredded to pieces just the same.

With his current physique, he was still far from being able to contend with the chaotic Void Force. As he gazed at the Void Rift that seemed capable of devouring everything, a surge of calm finally flowed through his raging momentum.

He turned his gaze forward.

In the aftermath of the collapsing Void Rift, the few survivors such as the Pavilion Master of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion had already retreated far away. Then, almost in the next instant, everyone moved in unison once more.

But this time, instead of charging back to attack Chen Mu, they scattered and fled in the blink of an eye!

Seven Blood Exchangers, three dead, four fled!

Defeated.

After the collapse of the Effortless Formation and their last joint attempt to kill Chen Mu proved futile, everyone realized one thing—the momentum had shifted!

Even under the suppression of the Effortless Formation, they couldn’t manage to kill Chen Mu. Now with the formation broken, and Chen Mu free to come and go as he pleased, they could no longer stop him. Continuing the fight would only lead to them being slaughtered one by one by Chen Mu!

Despite Chen Mu having injuries, everyone had already come to understand his robust physique thoroughly, and knew well that these wounds meant nothing to him. The wounds that healed at a visible rate were proof of that!

If Chen Mu hadn’t possessed such terrifying vitality and self-healing abilities, their desperate effort under the pressure of the Effortless Formation might have had a chance. But Chen Mu’s strength had reached the Celestial Human Level, his physique was overwhelmingly resilient and nearly indestructible, and coupled with his terrifying life force, he was like a Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon in human form!

This cut off all of their chances of victory.

The momentum was gone!

If they didn’t flee for their lives now, they would all perish here!

Watching the Pavilion Master of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and the others fleeing, Chen Mu did not give chase but instead directed his gaze toward the direction of the conflicting Celestial Human energies. Without a word, he just stood there with his hands behind his back.

The crimson blood on his body silently began to peel off and fall away, and all his wounds healed one by one.

In the distance.

The Dragonwood Island Master and others looked at Chen Mu’s silhouette with stern eyes. For a moment, apart from the sound of sea waves and tides, there was silence.

The ambush by the Pavilion Master of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and others had utterly failed, and the momentum was now with Chen Mu—his rise to power was assured!

Trying to kill him now was almost an impossibility, without the cooperation of several Celestial Human experts.

And,

Chen Mu was now clearly just one step away from undergoing Blood Exchange. It would probably not be long before he re-emerged, already having transformed into a Blood Exchange Body, an invincible being in this world.

“…”

The first sign of Celestial Human energy that appeared, after a brief silence, quietly dissipated into nothingness.

Only Cang Ming’s energy remained between heaven and earth.

“I thank Senior Cang Ming.”

Chen Mu finally made a move, cupping his fist in the direction of Cang Ming and speaking with a frank expression.

“Hahaha, I hardly dare to accept the title of senior. Even if I hadn’t intervened, he would have been too late to get there. To you, it would have been nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Peak Master Chen, your strength has reached an impressive level, and he has long been unable to do anything about you,” replied Cang Ming, his voice spreading for miles across the Ruins Sea. His tone held no hint of seniority but spoke as an equal, with more of a sigh.
