Chapter 971 The Final Level
The outside world.

Chu Mu stood in the air, with a bronze mirror suspended in his palm, the pointer of which seemed to be frozen, not moving at all.

There is a world that exists and is suppressed here. The chaotic void that can be seen by the naked eye is all peaceful.

There were no waves, and the place was dead silent and desolate.

The once pure and flawless halo from outside the world has long been tainted by filth and has become deeply ingrained.

Chu Mu was not surprised. He looked around and his eyes were fixed on the bronze mirror in his hand.

The coordinates of the world have been clearly analyzed, and what remains is to find the specific location of this coordinate.

In other words, where exactly is the coordinate of the upper realm located in this chaotic void?
And this is the function of this bronze mirror.

Parse coordinates, search for coordinates, and determine the location of coordinates.

During the eight years of seclusion, most of the time was spent on this bronze mirror.

After a long time, Chu Mu slowly raised his hand and pointed a finger down. The point of twinkling starlight in the center of the bronze mirror's pointer seemed to have been completely uncovered. The starlight suddenly became brighter, but in a flash, the suddenly bright starlight returned to dimness.

However, the complex patterns on this bronze mirror suddenly began to flicker with a faint light after the starlight in the center dimmed.

At this moment, the motionless pointer seemed to be guided by some unknown force.

The pointer trembled slowly, moving and rotating with difficulty at an indescribable slow speed.

And in Chu Mu's perception, this difficulty is even clearer.

It was as if there was some extremely terrifying force hindering the Bronze Mirror's exploration of the coordinates of the upper realm.

A huge resistance stood in front of the pointer, and every vibration of the pointer was supported by a huge amount of magic power for him.

Chu Mu also felt that his furnace essence, like a balloon with a crack, was pouring towards the bronze mirror at an unimaginable speed.

In just a few breaths, all his tremendous magical power was drained out. If it weren't for the fact that the Heaven and Earth Furnace still had a huge amount of energy being refined, he would probably have been completely drained in just a few breaths!

But fortunately, this horrific consumption did not last too long.

In less than thirty breaths, the trembling pointer slowly calmed down.

The bronze mirror still had its light flowing, and a vague direction information flooded into Chu Mu's mind.

The next moment, an extremely abrupt click sounded.

The needle broke, and the gleaming compass also shattered into several pieces.

Chu Mu groaned, as if he had been severely injured, and traces of blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Chu Mu looked up, following the detailed direction sensed in the dark, and in an indescribable distance, a magnificent world seemed to be reflected in his perception.

But this perception is much more vague and obscure than the vague sensing direction.

and……

Unseen, unspeakable...

If you try to peek forcibly, you will be retaliated against!
Chu Mu took a deep breath and his eyes returned to calm.

There is nothing that cannot be seen, and there is nothing that cannot be described.

The reason for this illusion is simply because the power gap is too huge, so huge that it is completely beyond cognition and understanding.

Just like ordinary people, they will never understand how terrifying the power of a Nascent Soul is.

Even an unconscious fluctuation of breath can cause unspeakable horror.

The same is obviously true in that magnificent world.

The so-called upper realm must be able to accommodate higher powers of level five or even above level five.

It goes without saying how magnificent and terrifying a world that can accommodate such unimaginable power would be.

Chu Mu closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.

His injuries were not serious.

He had made some preparations when he was refining this bronze mirror. If a low-level being spied on a high-level being, it was inevitable that they would be attacked back.

He also made a lot of arrangements on this bronze mirror to prevent the backlash from affecting himself.

The most serious backlash has been borne by the Bronze Mirror.

The pointer broke, the bronze mirror shattered, and when it affected him, it was only a few residual effects.

Although there are injuries, they are not unbearable.

With the help of the baking furnace, it only took more than a month for the injuries to be completely healed.

Chu Mu did not return to the realm. His mind was immersed in his dantian, sensing his own cultivation.

Nearly twenty years have passed, and although he has never practiced deliberately, his previous unscrupulous plundering in the demon world has allowed him to accumulate a huge amount of energy.

After nearly twenty years of sorting and settling, his nascent furnace of heaven and earth has reached the limit of its current realm.

At this point, his immortal system has undoubtedly completed its transformation.

From the original inferior spiritual roots, it has transformed into the current fire-attributed spiritual roots.

His cultivation of the immortal way with fire attribute, along with the sword intention and soul system, as well as the core and key devouring mystery, created this furnace of heaven and earth.

Nirvana and rebirth have also been completely completed.

And his cultivation, whether it was his physique, magic power, or soul, all naturally reached the limit of the fourth level as the Heaven and Earth Furnace reached the limit of the fourth level.

He could vaguely sense the existence of a bottleneck portal.

In his perception, this portal was even extremely fragile, without the slightest sense of obstruction.

It seemed that he only needed a gentle push to break through the shackles of the fourth level and step into the fifth level that no one had set foot on for countless years.

But when he subconsciously followed his heart, a strong sense of foreboding emerged in his heart.

The ominous premonition comes from the mind, and the source of the ominous feeling surprisingly comes from this world of immortal cultivation.

Even if he is outside the world, as long as he is not completely out of the influence of the world, it is obviously impossible for him to bypass the insurmountable shackles.

The shackles of the world directly block the path to the fifth level.

But vaguely, he seemed to be able to sense that this tight shackle had loosened.

But when he followed this sensation and looked closely, the answer he perceived was not the prosperity of the immortal path.

But...it was an endless, dark brown sea of ​​blood!
Although he had guessed it long ago, Chu Mu couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he got this definite answer.

The world's shackles on the fifth level were indeed loosened, just as he had guessed, and were even being gradually released.

However, this relaxation is not universal.

But...it's a special case!
A special case only for the demon clan!
In other words, for other non-demon races, the shackles of this world still exist and are still insurmountable.

Chu Mu looked at the chaotic void again, and his plan, which had been somewhat shaken due to Tian Xin's existence, became firm again.

He might have a better way, such as planning to seize Tianxin, the Xuantian treasure, and use the special nature of the Xuantian treasure to influence the rules of the world and enable him to break through the shackles of the world.

For example, planning the Holy Soul of Tianyan, using the mystery of Tianyan to hide the truth and transform into a "demon", and naturally taking advantage of the special circumstances of the world to break the shackles of the world.

But it is undeniable that no matter what method is used, it is only within the world.

Even if everything is accomplished, it is impossible to escape the real shackles of the world.

After all, even if you achieve the fifth level in the world, what good will it do?
It's nothing more than adding thousands of years to your life, and then... continue to wait for death.

If you want to completely break free from the shackles of the world, you not only need to break the shackles from the fourth level to the fifth level, but also need to break free from the limitations of this world and step into a world with a higher level of power.

To achieve this, it all comes down to this chaotic void.

This... is the final hurdle that cannot be avoided.
