Chapter 976 Fifth Stage
"The fifth level, using oneself to control the great power of heaven and earth, is... the transformation into a god..."

Chu Mu gently stroked the corpse of the fifth-level dragon, and some records about the fifth level that he once knew slowly emerged in his mind.

The existence of the fifth level is a higher level of evolution compared to the fourth level.

The fourth stage is to be blessed by the power of heaven and earth, and to passively accept the power of heaven and earth. Once heaven and earth are unwilling to bestow the power to bless, one will fall into trouble.

This dilemma is vividly reflected in today's demon world.

The heaven and earth are unwilling to bestow their great power to bless, and instead do their utmost to reject it. As a result, the great power of the Nascent Soul will be mostly suppressed.

The fifth level is to turn passivity into activity and harness the power of heaven and earth.

Even if the heaven and earth do not allow it, you can still use your own cultivation to forcibly control the great power of heaven and earth.
Moreover, this great power of heaven and earth is also a general term.

More often than not, it comes from the cultivator's own understanding of the heaven and earth, so that he can seize the great power of the heaven and earth, integrate it into himself, and forcibly control it.

In other words, a fifth-order being already has the initial ability to "adapt".

Even in the Dharma Ending Age, a fifth-order being can forcibly control the power of heaven and earth, and use the energy system of heaven and earth to coordinate its own energy.

As long as the world is immortal, even if the world turns into a place without souls, the fifth level will not decline...

Of course, if the heaven and earth collapse, a normal fifth-level cultivator does not have the ability to directly absorb chaotic energy.

According to legend, in ancient times, the heaven and earth had not changed, the way of immortality was flourishing, and the fifth-level god was the top existence in the world of immortal cultivation.

The channel for ascension is stable, and the prerequisite for ascension is the perfection of spiritual transformation.

Only when one reaches the state of perfect spiritual transformation and has no further to go, can one ascend to the upper realm.

This is true whether it is a fifth-level divine being or a fifth-level demon.

However, the ascension passages to the Heavenly Palace and the Demon Palace do not seem to lead to the same place.

Just like the ascension channel of the Heavenly Palace, the ascension channel of the Demon Palace has long been cut off. It has long been an indisputable fact that the heaven and earth are a cage.

And judging from the scene before us, the fact that this world is a cage may be somewhat unknown.

At least, in the world of immortal cultivation back then, both the human race and the demon race did not seem to sit idly by and wait for death.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

The fact that the world is a cage seems more like a last resort after the Jedi counterattack failed.

Sensing the power of this fifth-level demon body, a chain of events began to form in Chu Mu's mind.

Perhaps, the so-called suppression of the sacred beast of Tianyan, which is circulated in the world, is not as simple as it seems.

There must be a deeper disaster behind this.

This disaster may even affect the upper realm.

Therefore, the upper world came up with the idea of ​​closing this world.

The people in the world of immortal cultivation and the demon race are not willing to accept this fate.

That’s why there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood…

But judging from the subsequent outcome, this rebellion obviously ended in failure.

The heavenly palace collapsed and the demon palace was destroyed.

The ascension channel is cut off, and the world... becomes a cage!

"pity……"

Chu Mu sighed softly, not knowing whether he felt sorry for the sea of ​​blood and corpses before him, or because this fifth-level demon body had been corroded by the power of death, making it difficult to see the full picture of the fifth-level power.

He raised his palm as a knife, and the cold knife flashed, accurately falling into the gap between the scales, prying open the scales of the monster body, and tearing a hole in its body. Even with his current strength that was not inferior to that of a pseudo-fifth-level, such a knife would only leave a knife mark on the monster body that was only a few feet long and several feet deep. For this monster body that stretched like a mountain range, it might not even be considered a superficial injury.

This fifth-order dragon should not be an ordinary fifth-order dragon. It must have gone quite far in the fifth-order level.

After dozens of consecutive strikes, Chu Mu finally managed to cut a big hole in the monster's body. He flashed and sank into the monster's belly.

The monster's belly was like a winding cave. Countless years of death, due to the different nature of the fifth level and the weirdness of this world, seemed to have caused some special petrification of the monster's body.

Among them, a special kind of dragon was born, which seemed to be made of dragon blood and had some characteristics of soul.

It's just that they all have low intelligence and their strength is basically at the third or fourth level. In Chu Mu's hands, the difference between them is nothing more than a punch or a palm.

In just a quarter of an hour or so, he arrived at his destination.

The demon pill is round and grayish white all over, just like a piece of stone that has experienced countless years of wind and rain.

Weathered and decayed, yet containing an inexplicable vitality.

Chu Mu sensed it carefully, and had to suppress the hope in his heart.

The demon pill had long lost its power. Now, the demon pill could perhaps be considered a top-grade spirit stone.

However, this top-grade spirit stone did not absorb spiritual energy, but the power of boundless death and silence.

The power of death and silence has formed a cycle in this demon pill, maintaining the immortality of this demon body.

For him, absorbing and devouring this demon pill is not as good as stepping into the sticky ocean of death and silence. The power of death and silence in it is even more refined, and the amount is almost endless.

As for the unique self-circulation system of the demon pill, after obtaining many top-grade spirit stones, he also built the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace. For him, this circulation system had long been no secret.

As for this demon body, it has been corroded by death and has lost the original power of a fifth-order dragon. The demon body does not have much significance.

Chu Mu emerged from the dragon monster body and continued to move forward without stopping.

The vastness of this sea of ​​corpses and blood far exceeded his expectations.

Among them, a large number of flesh and blood monsters were bred.

The strongest among them are not even inferior to the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although he was cautious, he still couldn't avoid revealing his flaws.

Although it was not extremely dangerous, it did make him feel a little embarrassed.

As he went deeper into this ancient battlefield, the quality of the corpses became noticeably higher.

Fourth-level monsters and corpses of fourth-level cultivators can be seen everywhere, and even more are fourth-level beings from the sand-tailed scorpion clan.

Looking around, the number of fourth-level beings killed in both human and demon races was almost dozens of times.

It is obvious that in this ancient war, the losses suffered by the Sand-tailed Scorpion clan were far greater than those suffered by the human and demon clans.

The reason for this, according to his observation, is most likely related to the suppressed sacred beast Tianyan.

Although the corpses of these sand-tailed scorpions have an obvious aura of power, the essence of their power is clearly inferior to that of humans and demons.

It was as if... the Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse had lost the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, and turned into a pseudo-fourth-level existence.

And deep in the battlefield, there were quite a few fifth-level corpses. In the battlefield area he passed through alone, the number of fifth-level corpses he saw exceeded ten fingers.

Moreover, the deeper they went into the battlefield, the more and more fifth-order masters fell, and the more densely they died...
