Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 753 - 419 Chen Mu’s Strength
Chapter 753 -419 Chen Mu’s Strength
Ling Huan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the entire battlefield.
The Xunmu Grand Formation, which encompassed the whole settlement, still had two-tenths of its strength left even after blocking such numerous attacks. However, he chose not to counterattack with that remaining power. On one hand, being inside the formation, any attempt to use its power to counterattack would not go undetected; the Grandmasters outside could either join forces to defend or retreat individually, making it difficult to inflict casualties.
It was better to reserve that bit of power—partly to sense the status of various areas in Xunmu Cave Heaven and prepare for other unforeseen events and partly to stay hidden, waiting until the moment when Yan Hong and Hong Shida and their people had no choice but to withdraw.
At that time,
he would strike back across the board!
Just as the battle was at its most intense, Ling Huan’s eyes flickered, and he glanced sideways in a certain direction.
“So they’ve come after all…”
A hint of coldness flashed in his aged eyes.
The only major unpredictability in this invasion from beyond the heavens was Chen Mu—an existence who could, by his lone effort, stand against him in direct confrontation, effectively throwing all his plans into disarray!
Had Chen Mu not been involved, people like Yan Hong would have had no chance to escape his grasp; they would have all been annihilated, and the overall strength of the Grandmasters’ forces outside would have dropped another notch. It was even possible that more would have died or suffered under his hands.
In such a scenario,
even if the remaining Grandmaster teams joined forces, they would only have enough strength for defense, definitely not for offense. He could then continue to look for opportunities in the shadows, slowly whittling them down.
Chen Mu’s presence not only disrupted his initial surprise attack but was also a thorny issue in itself, forcing him to divert his attention constantly to watch for Chen Mu’s potential destruction throughout Xunmu Cave Heaven.
In the thick of battle,
the fierce combat persisted unabated.
After what felt like an eternity, from a distance of roughly ten miles from the battlefield, two figures arrived quietly, one after the other—Fang Yuan following behind, and in front, dressed in a plain robe, was Chen Mu himself!
Even from ten miles away, the massive commotion of the distant battlefield was perceivable, indicating the ferocity of the battle. From afar, Fang Yuan looked on with a trace of surprise in his eyes, whispering behind Chen Mu:
“Such a commotion… I’m afraid everyone has gathered here.”
“Yes.”
Chen Mu nodded slightly, a glint flashing in his eyes, and walked forward a bit more, taking in the entire battlefield at a glance.
They were not far from the core area of Xunmu Cave Heaven, where the power of Xunmu was strongest. The strength of the formations there was likely much greater than that of the Seven Profound Sect’s Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation. If the Spirit People Race retreated entirely to their core area, with his current capabilities, he could not be absolutely sure of breaching it.
Yet Yan Hong and many others were battling the Spirit People Race here, which undoubtedly presented him with an opportunity!
All other matters were trivial; the key players were the two Spirit Ancestors, Ling Huan and Ling Ji!
As long as he could eliminate these two, even if the core area of the Spirit People Race had a stronger formation than the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation, without a Blood Exchange Realm practitioner to control and direct it, its power would be greatly reduced, making it unable to stop his advance!
“Let’s go.”
Chen Mu did not observe for long. After briefly assessing the situation on the battlefield, he immediately moved forward.
This time, Fang Yuan did not follow closely behind Chen Mu but stayed a step behind, quietly trailing after him.
On the battlefield,
despite the intensity of the combat, almost to the point of white-hot ferocity, the approach of Chen Mu and Fang Yuan still immediately attracted the attention of many, and soon a multitude of gazes were cast in their direction.
Seeing Chen Mu leading the way, many showed a flicker of surprise in their eyes.
“Who is that?”
“He is…”
Though the vast majority had never seen his true face, the name came to mind quickly as they watched him steadily approach the battlefield.
From the Cold North, Chen Mu!

In the face of such a significant event in Xunmu Cave Heaven, with nearly all the Grandmasters gathered in one place, the only one who would dare to walk so calmly and alone was clearly just one person!
“Is that Chen Mu?”
“The sole Qiankun Grandmaster of our time who is said to be a match for the Blood Exchange Realm…”
Many murmured under their breath as they watched Chen Mu, their eyes showing a peculiar expression.
The title of Qiankun Grandmaster comes once in a century.
And a genius of Chen Mu’s caliber is even rarer in Da Xuan, witnessed perhaps once in a millennium. Although most were aware of Chen Mu’s arrival in Xunmu Cave Heaven, seeing him in person still stirred complex emotions.
“Chen Mu…”
Some gazed at Chen Mu from a distance, their eyes deep with thought.
Hong Shida momentarily ceased his attack to cast a glance at Chen Mu. He had stood proudly amongst the top ten Grandmasters of Da Xuan for decades, his reputation renowned. Yet virtually overnight, Chen Mu rose from obscurity to claim the top rank among the Grandmasters!
As an unparalleled Grandmaster from Central Prefecture, he had not even heard of Chen Mu before the rumors and had initially been skeptical of his acclaim. It was only after numerous reports had confirmed the truth that he accepted it as fact.
The Qiankun Eight Phases encompass heaven and earth.
He wondered just how large the gap was between his own mastery of the Five Elements Path and Chen Mu’s prowess now.
Although he had heard much about Chen Mu, hearing was not like seeing. No one was more eager than him to witness Chen Mu’s Qiankun Path and see what techniques this once-in-a-millennium genius truly possessed.
