Chapter 973 Return to the Origin, Deep into the Desert Sea

"Everything comes from chaos..."

"The completion of chaos means that the Heaven and Earth Furnace has acquired the nature of chaos and can truly... refine all things..."

The desert sea was dead silent, and Chu Mu stood alone.

The power of death and silence that had been rooted in the desert sea for eternity like a maggot in the tarsal bone, under the influence of a not-so-strong devouring force, with him as the center, the death and silence of the desert sea within a radius of dozens of feet, all slowly gathered towards him.

With the blessing of a touch of spiritual light, the changes in the furnace of heaven and earth are also extremely clear.

Before the baking furnace was repaired, he had absorbed the power of the dead silence of the desert sea more than once. Although the baking furnace of heaven and earth could absorb the dead silence of the desert sea at will, he had a premonition that this power of dead silence would inevitably erode the baking furnace of heaven and earth.

After all, death and vitality are complete opposites.

He is life, and the furnace of heaven and earth also originates from himself.

Absorbing the dead silence, even if he would not refine the power of dead silence, but passing through the furnace of heaven and earth, it would definitely have some impact on the furnace.

But now, he was completing the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace in the chaotic void. Although this Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace did not show any obvious changes, it had a more complete meaning and more chaotic attributes.

The power of death and silence was swallowed up into the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace. Under normal circumstances, it would inevitably have an impact on the furnace. However, under the influence of this chaotic attribute, his Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace actually had some characteristics of returning to its origin.

When the power of death and silence entered the baking furnace, it was like blending with water and milk. There was no strange phenomenon at all, and no erosion of death and silence. It directly merged with the true essence of the baking furnace and became a part of his powerful reserve energy.

He released his restraints on the furnace of heaven and earth, and the devouring power that was originally like a slow-flowing stream instantly swallowed up the desert sea of ​​death dozens of feet around him.

There was still nothing unusual with the Furnace of Heaven and Earth. The devouring power that was absorbed by the furnace was refined by the furnace in the blink of an eye, returning to its origin and merging with the furnace's true essence.

He tentatively expanded the coverage of his spiritual sense, a hundred feet, a thousand feet...

Until his spiritual consciousness spread to the limit, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles, he felt an inexplicable sense of saturation in the furnace of heaven and earth.

The vastness of the furnace of heaven and earth had begun to show. Apart from the refined furnace essence flowing like the abyss of the sea, the rest of the furnace space had been completely occupied by the power of death and silence.

Every minute and every second, a huge amount of dead and silent power is refined by the furnace and integrated into the furnace's true essence that is as vast as the ocean.

"Pity……"

Chu Mu murmured softly.

With his cultivation having reached the limit of the fourth stage, in this world of immortal cultivation, no matter how mysterious the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace is, even if Ruyuan's Baking Furnace Essence fills it up, it can no longer help his cultivation, nor can it make the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace grow.

Its only function is to serve as a backup mana pool, which can increase his mana recovery speed to an incredible level.

At this moment, as if due to the strange changes in the desert sea thousands of miles away, in just a few breaths, several Nascent Soul consciousnesses covered the area one after another.

But when they realized that Chu Mu was standing behind them, the Nascent Soul consciousness that had followed them retreated one after another.

Nearly another half hour passed like this. Under this horrific devouring force, the desert sea with a radius of nearly ten thousand miles with Chu Mu as the center had undergone almost earth-shaking changes.

The desert sea is vast and boundless, but this vast desert sea has become a vacuum, with rolling dead and silent sand. The dead and silent power is like a maggot on the tarsal bone. Anyone who enters this thousand-mile boundary will be swallowed up and annihilated.

The vast desert has returned to its normal state. Its sandy yellow color is like an oasis in the boundless silence. The silence is gone, and the vitality that has been suppressed for countless years is slowly emerging in the vast desert.

But when Chu Mu restrained the devouring power, the boundless deathly silence surging at the edge of the ten thousand mile boundary came over like a tide, covering the ten thousand mile desert sea in the blink of an eye.

However, the power of death and silence in this vast desert has obviously become much weaker. But obviously, without new external intervention, as time goes by, this purified vast desert will sooner or later return to complete death and silence.

The only difference, perhaps, is that the total amount of dead silence in the desert sea will be weakened a tiny bit.

As far as he knew, the purification plan of the Red Flame Army could progress thousands of miles every day. By utilizing the unique mystery of the Heavenly Palace field, the already purified desert sea could be isolated to prevent it from being eroded again.

At this rate of progress, it might not take long to purify the desert sea where he is now.

And further ahead...

Chu Mu looked up at the depths of the desert sea. According to his understanding, the entire desert sea was in a circular shape.

The deeper you go into the desert sea, the stronger the power of death and silence becomes.

One ring after another, going forward is a restricted area that is big enough to threaten the Yuanying powerhouses!
In that restricted area, not only was the spiritual energy completely gone, but the erosion of vitality by the dead silence was even more terrifying.

Moreover, because the silence was too intense and deeply rooted, the space was greatly affected, making teleportation impossible.

This is also the fundamental reason why Daheng made such a big fuss.

Unless the total amount of the dead power of the desert sea is weakened or even completely purified, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator uses some secret treasure or secret technique to force his way deep into the center of the desert sea, he will find it difficult to stay there for too long.

Not to mention the arduous task of repairing the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, or even deeper purposes.

"The remains of the Heavenly Palace..."

Chu Mu was thoughtful.

Tian Xin had been meditating for ten years, and although he had learned a lot of ancient secrets, there was no record of any information about the ruins of the Heavenly Palace. It was as if an invisible hand had erased all the information.

As for who erased it... Chu Mu pondered for a moment and didn't dwell on it too much.

What exactly happened? If he... explores deep into the desert sea, won't he find out?

The dead silence of the desert sea can stop other Nascent Soul masters, but it cannot stop him whose Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace Method has reached its limit!

Chu Mu did not hesitate and took a step forward. His figure flashed and several afterimages flickered in the depths of the desert sea. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the endless desert sea wind and sand.

The deeper you go into the desert sea, the stronger the power of death and silence becomes.

Even though the desert sea is dead silent and has no intelligence, deathly silence is the opposite of vitality. He is in it like a spark in the endless ocean. Every step he takes is enveloped by the overwhelming power of deathly silence.

However, all the dead silence was completely swallowed up once it got within an inch of his body.

The vast furnace essence surges in the furnace of heaven and earth, supporting the massive consumption every moment.

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm master, his magic power would probably be exhausted in just over an hour.

Without being able to communicate with the great power of heaven and earth, if the magic power of a Nascent Soul is exhausted, he will naturally have to face this horrifying silence.

If the body is not strong enough, it will probably be corroded by the deathly silence in a short time and completely annihilated in this desert sea.

Only someone like Chu Mu, who is not afraid of the erosion of death and silence and can transform the power of death and silence into his own needs, can come and go freely in this desert of death and silence.

Both are indispensable!

The sun rises and sets, and time flies.

For Yu Chumu, it was like stepping into a place of endless cycle. Everywhere he looked was the monotonous dead silence of the desert, without any sign of life. If he had not been sure that his mind was not affected, he would have thought that he had fallen into an illusion.

In this way, several months passed quietly.

On this day, Chu Mu suddenly stopped.

The power of death and silence in this place is no longer in the form of a thick gas.

And in front of him, just across a line, the dead silence of the desert sea was as thick as water.

It is like, in the desert, there is a vast and silent ocean, flowing and surging.

Every minute and every second, a huge amount of "sea water" is evaporated, making the dead silence of the desert sea even more intense.

The desert under the ocean has completely crystallized after countless years of erosion, taking on an inky black and crystalline appearance, no longer resembling a desert.

Chu Mu's mind moved slightly, and he threw out a top-grade magic weapon. In just a few breaths, this top-grade magic weapon, like ice and snow, melted and disappeared visibly with the naked eye, without even a trace left.

He tentatively absorbed a wisp of the deadly force that was as thick as water. The furnace of heaven and earth did not change. However, the quality of this wisp of the deadly force was far higher than the gaseous deadly force from the outside world.

The ratio could probably reach one to several hundred!

Chu Mu looked thoughtful, he was not afraid of the force of death and silence that was as thick as water, but his fearlessness came from the furnace of heaven and earth.

Now that my cultivation has reached its limit, my furnace has also grown to its limit. If I swallow too much, I won’t be able to consume it…

And this deadly force, as thick as water, is of such high quality...

Chu Mu thought for a while, as if he had thought of something. His mind moved slightly, and an ancient tower and a long sword appeared in the furnace of heaven and earth.

Both are his natal magic weapons.

But compared to his current level of cultivation, these two magical treasures are undoubtedly a bit behind the times.

After all, he didn't have much time to nurture these two treasures over the years.

The treasure of sword intent is still better. Imperceptibly, it is tempered by the sword intent every moment, and its quality can be improved a lot.

But this Nine Dragons Prison Tower has been delayed for too long because of the missing nine dragons.

Even though he made up for the loss of Nine Dragons later, he was still unable to take care of himself under this catastrophe, and obviously had no energy to take care of this natal magic weapon.

Until now, it is only at the level of half-step spiritual treasure.

Compared to the top-grade magic weapon that was destroyed in a few breaths, it is only half a level lower.

In the battle at the Nascent Soul level, it is still okay to fight with the wind, because with his huge magic power, even if it is just a magic weapon, it can exert considerable power.

But if the two sides are evenly matched, or if the opponent is at a disadvantage, then Bao will not be able to play much of a role.

At this moment, the two treasures entered the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace. Under Chu Mu's control, the two treasures were like dried sponges, madly absorbing the vast amount of furnace essence in the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace, tempering the treasures and slowly improving the quality of the treasures...
