Da Xuan Martial Saint Chapter 1503 - 722: The End of Tribulation Has Arrived!

“Finally.”

Chen Mu exhaled slowly, his gaze fixed on the system panel’s data.

As a Dao Venerable who had fully grasped Void Creation, he was immortal and immune to threats for six cycles of universe reincarnation. Nevertheless, comprehending Time before the universe's ultimate annihilation represented a significant advantage. This was a crucial development.

He remained uncertain if the system panel could truly facilitate his ultimate transcendence. Therefore, optimizing his Cultivation speed was paramount before embarking on that path. A complete understanding of the Time Dao, he knew, would substantially enhance his power.

Of course,

Accumulating a hundred million experience points did not equate to a complete mastery of the Time Dao. Instead, it signified his newfound ability to leverage the system panel for a thorough analysis of the Time Dao. This allowed him to grasp its essence directly, thereby dramatically increasing his efficiency in comprehension.

The universe's final, silent annihilation was imminent. Despite the system panel’s assistance, he questioned whether he could fully comprehend the Time Dao and achieve the revered status of the Three Daos within the remaining timeframe.

At this juncture, nearly all Space Seats and Space Domains across the universe had succumbed to decay.

Even the Yellow Flame Void, situated closest to the universe's core and the Primordial Domain, was in a state of decay and collapse. Consequently, Chen Mu had once again relocated the Da Xuan World, transferring all its sentient beings to the Origin Realm.

Had he been merely a Divine Monarch, even one of Three Veins Perfection, migrating all Da Xuan World beings to the Origin Realm during such an apocalyptic era would have been impossible. The Origin Realm, while vast, harbored countless powerful factions. As the end drew near, all races were driven to madness.

Only a Dao Venerable possessed the might to forcibly relocate an entire lineage of beings into the Origin Realm and establish a territorial claim.

However,

Ultimately, this act was akin to quenching thirst with poison.

Chen Mu was acutely aware that upon the final tribulation's descent, the Origin Realm itself would crumble. At that point, all Da Xuan World beings, along with the universe’s last vestiges, would revert to silent annihilation. Even as a Dao Venerable, he could not preserve an entire world from the universe’s end of tribulation.

Nevertheless, being a native of the Da Xuan World, extending the final moments for its inhabitants was his ultimate possible action. He faced this reality with a tranquil heart, free from shame.

After all,

Without his intervention, the Da Xuan World would have long since been overrun by the Demon Clan, a desolate expanse filled with countless solitary graves.

With his ascension to Dao Venerable status, even if the Da Xuan World perished and all its beings returned to silent annihilation, the Human Race he was born into would be reborn with the next universe's creation.

From a particular viewpoint, a Dao Venerable had already attained immortality. Even if they merged into the Great Dao and were assimilated by the Origin Dao, their bloodline and race would persist infinitely. This hope, cherished by many Dao Venerables nearing the end, prevented complete descent into madness.

Given that,

The entire bloodline and race would forever cycle through reincarnation.

Within the endless cycles of reincarnation, at the culmination of limitless time, should a genius emerge from their bloodline and one day achieve transcendence, everything would be rewritten.

Even if assimilated by the Origin Dao, losing their true self, the realm of transcendence wielded unfathomable supreme power, surpassing the highest rules. Their methods defied description. Even if assimilated by the Great Dao, they were bound to take action to rescue them.

Of course, this hope was somewhat illusory. The path to transcendence was extraordinarily arduous. Across the vast, infinite cycles of universe reincarnation, only two such beings were legendary. The universe teemed with countless races and prodigies, yet claiming this was a thread of hope for resurrection was merely a faint glimmer in the cosmic darkness.

“…”

Chen Mu intently observed the system panel's data. After a brief contemplation, the panel vanished, and he immediately directed his gaze outward. Within a shimmering light of Time, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Divine Monarchs from the Nine Layer Heavens surrounded him. Their expressions were grave: some respectful, some awestruck, all looking at him, with a few even kneeling in reverence.

Witnessing this spectacle, a subtle sentiment arose within Chen Mu. He, too, had once revered the Origin Dao. Now, numerous Divine Monarchs revered him. Yet, despite seemingly reaching the universe's apex, he still yearned for transcendence.

Swish.

Chen Mu performed no elaborate action. With a mere thought, his form silently dissipated.

Upon seeing Chen Mu vanish amidst the light of Time, a myriad of expressions crossed the faces of the assembled Divine Monarchs.

“He’s gone.”

Nanhua Divine Monarch gazed with a complex expression at the direction where Chen Mu had disappeared.

Back then, during Chen Mu’s emergence in Nanhua Void, he had heard tales of Chen Mu’s exploits. Knowing Chen Mu was a reincarnated Divine Monarch, he speculated that Chen Mu’s past life likely involved numerous troublesome causal ties. Consequently, he initially had no intention of associating with Chen Mu.

Later, when Chen Mu ascended to the Nine Layer Heavens, Nanhua Divine Monarch visited him again. However, their interaction was merely as equals, and he missed the opportunity to forge a deep bond with Chen Mu on the path of Cultivation.

Nevertheless,

Who could have foreseen that Chen Mu, rising from the obscure Nanhua Void, would achieve the esteemed status of a Dao Venerable?
