Da Xuan Martial Saint Chapter 1507 - 723: Universe Silence, Source Sea Emerges! (Part 2)

Time, an immeasurable river, flowed onward. A fleeting distraction crossed her features as, before her very eyes, the entirety of the Da Xuan Domain silently crumbled. The dim, pervasive power of annihilation spread, engulfing the Da Xuan Domain and plunging her vision into profound darkness.

Upon the restoration of her sight, the surrounding landscape had utterly transformed, no longer identifiable as Da Xuan. Beneath her, a magnificent, boundless river surged, its hue indescribable, each droplet seemingly holding infinite mysteries. Yet, she did not float upon its surface; instead, she stood encased within a golden sphere of light.

This golden sphere, akin to a star, drifted above the Origin River. The torrents of the Great Dao ceaselessly washed over it, yet it remained resplendent, gleaming like pure gold.

"Mother."

Chen Yao's voice resonated from beside her.

Within this 'star' above the Origin River, not only Xu Hongyu was present, but also Chen Yue, Chen Yao, Qin Mengjun, Hua Nongyue, Hua Nongying, and others.

Many were Chen Mu’s long-standing acquaintances, while a select few represented the rising talents from the Da Xuan World. Their total number was precisely thirty.

A Venerable who had mastered only a single Dao, without the assistance of a Primordial Treasure or Dao Treasure, could, at best, safeguard ten individuals through a universe's reincarnation. This feat also demanded that the current Reincarnation Era's Dao Venerable possess a peak level of Self Will, capable of enduring the sweeping rules of the Dao.

If they had endured a Universe Silence and still only grasped a single Dao, the Venerable would be incapable of protecting ten beings, barely managing to shield two or three. Following another Universe Silence without breakthroughs, their Self Will would suffice only for self-preservation, lacking the strength to extend protection to others.

Now,

despite Chen Mu not having mastered the Time Dao, he held full command over both the Creation and Void Daos. This allowed him to protect as many as thirty beings, even without the aid of Dao Treasures or Primordial Treasures.

Previously, the capacity to protect merely ten was indeed restrictive, primarily limiting him to his closest loved ones. However, thirty allowed for significantly more flexibility, even encompassing a few exceptional talents emerging from the Da Xuan World.

Swish.

As Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and the others were still captivated by the awe of the Origin River, Chen Mu’s form subtly materialized among them. With his hands clasped behind his back, he fixed his gaze upon the Origin River and addressed the group in a serene tone:

"The Universe Silence has reached its culmination. Remain here and await the universe's next genesis. Those whose Cultivation has attained the Ninth Layer Heavens may approach and intimately observe the profound mysteries of the Universe Silence. The remainder should not strain their perception."

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s pronouncement,

those behind exchanged glances; those who had not attained the Ninth Layer Heavens remained in their positions, while Chen Yue, Chen Yao, Qin Mengjun, and others, having reached the Ninth Layer Heavens, advanced, positioning themselves behind Chen Mu. They peered through the golden light towards the surging Origin River below.

Through the tumultuous waters, they could vaguely discern the forsaken and utterly ruined Origin Realm at its terminus, like a decrepit elder, ceaselessly quivering, shedding fragments of dust, and progressively dimming.

Finally,

the last vestige of light vanished from the Origin Realm. This once-central universe, the most vibrant and prosperous, having nurtured countless living beings and given birth to countless Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs and innumerable Dao Venerables, thus completely returned to the void!

Chen Yue, Chen Yao, Qin Mengjun, and the others intently observed this spectacle, becoming utterly absorbed.

Annihilation,

is also a metamorphosis of Creation Power, and indeed, one of Creation's fundamental facets!

For Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs, the opportunity to witness a universe’s ultimate annihilation firsthand is unparalleled, especially for those who primarily cultivate the Creation Lineage, yielding immense insights.

At the rear, the few who had not reached the Ninth Layer Heavens, such as Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, felt a pang of regret, yet they understood; Chen Mu's declaration that they could not observe the Universe Silence meant they couldn't seize this ultimate opportunity.

"Sister..."

Hua Nongying cast a glance at the distant, flowing Origin River, gently taking Hua Nongyue’s hand from the side.

The sisters once shared a single body and fragmented souls, their Soul Hearts interconnected. However, upon reaching the God Realm, they evolved into distinct individuals. Particularly after ascending to Divine Monarchs, their deepening Cultivation led to further separation; heart-to-heart communication was no longer possible.

Nevertheless, at the Divine Monarch level, even as two independent entities, they could effortlessly communicate by exchanging a wisp of Divine Power, naturally transmitting everything through it.

And at this very moment,

the sisters held hands, their gazes fixed upon Chen Mu’s back. Though they had missed the chance to observe the Universe Silence, which brought some regret, it was overshadowed by boundless emotion and gratitude. They were fortunate to encounter Chen Mu, fortunate to follow him, and fortunate to secure the opportunity to transcend universal reincarnation—a chance that countless beings in the universe could only long for.

Regardless of the thoughts of those behind him, Chen Mu paid them no mind, his gaze quietly fixed on the Origin River, through which he perceived a vast domain shimmering with a radiant seven-colored light.

Source Realm!

Following the complete collapse of the Origin Realm, this most singular, core realm, dependent on the Origin Dao, the Source Realm, began to experience its own influence, gradually crumbling.

Yet, the Source Realm's collapse differed from the Universe's annihilation; this was not an annihilation but rather an internal structural transformation, wherein countless internal domains fragmented, merged, and became interconnected as one.

"He still did not make that choice."

Chen Mu observed that Wuxiang City’s City Lord ultimately chose not to reincarnate, remaining steadfast within the city, collapsing with the Source Realm. He transformed into power, merging into the depths of the Origin Dao, awaiting the next resurgence.

Buzz!!!

The Source Realm's collapse progressed significantly slower than the Universe's annihilation; domains gradually shattered, and the Many Marvels Gate, the very portal of the Source Realm, dissolved, transforming into brilliant Dao light and merging into the Source Realm's depths.

Thus, after an indeterminate period, and as nearly all domains within the Source Realm had collapsed, a vast and overwhelming force coalesced from the exterior, finally pouring forcefully into the Source Realm!

It was the full, reverted power of the universe into annihilation, or the entirety of the Vast Universe already transformed into annihilation power!

Rumble!!

With an indescribable rumbling, the entire Origin River intensely oscillated. The surging, immense power even disturbed the Origin Dao, causing the Time, Void, and Creation Daos to fall into chaos!

The chaotic Power of Dao roared mightily within the Source Realm, merging with the Universe Silence power, intensifying the disarray, with various disordered Powers of Dao and Mysterious Power incessantly colliding.

Just like this,

after yet another unknown duration, the entire Source Realm finally buzzed and exploded!

While termed an explosion, it was more akin to a disintegration; the once-cohesive external structure utterly shattered, allowing the surging inner Source Realm power and chaotic Power of Dao to burst forth, filling the endless Nihility, forming a vast and boundless seven-colored ocean as far as the eye could see!

"Source Sea."

Observing this scene, a gleam finally flashed in Chen Mu’s eyes.

And precisely as the Source Realm shattered and the Source Sea emerged, a familiar transmission subtly arrived, originating from the Wutian Venerable.

"Chen Venerate, the time has come."
