Chapter 647 Defending the City
Molten City.

A tall tower stands on top of the magnificent city wall. On the top floor of the tower is a very open void. There are about a dozen figures floating in the void, some of them are tall and majestic, and some are hidden in the dark light.

In the next moment, a ripple appeared in the void, and another figure appeared and stepped into the tower. He was wearing a green robe, and his skin was covered with fine green scales. His aura had reached the peak level of the seventh heaven, but after entering the tower, he did not let it leak out at all, but restrained it as much as possible.

After Green River God's eyes swept across the many figures in the tower, he soon noticed a figure at the deepest point of the crowd. His eyes moved slightly, and he immediately bowed and greeted with a smile:
"Lord Jingtian, long time no see."

"With Lord Jingtian in charge of the South City Pass this time, we can all rest assured."

As a divine monarch at the peak of the seventh heaven, the only ones who could show a bit of respect in his attitude were naturally the divine monarchs and overlords of the eighth heaven. And the figure in the white robe was none other than a divine monarch and overlord of the eighth heaven, Divine Monarch Jingtian.

Jingtian Divine Lord was obviously acquainted with the newly arrived Green River Divine Lord. He looked at Green River Divine Lord, shook his head and sighed, "I haven't seen you for decades, and fellow Daoist Green River has made great progress. I have been in seclusion for decades, but still have no gains."

Only the gods of the Eighth Heaven are qualified to choose to defend the city, and below the Eighth Heaven, there are only gods at the peak of the Seventh Heaven. They have a chance to defend the city and usually will not refuse it.

Decades ago, Lord Green River had not yet reached the peak of the seventh heaven, but now, dozens of centuries later, he has finally made a breakthrough, which made Lord Jingtian sigh, because it has been at least hundreds of years since he joined the Yanyang Society. During these long years, he has met many people and made breakthroughs in his cultivation strength, but he still remains in the eighth heaven.

On the one hand, it is more difficult to improve his strength after entering the Eighth Heaven. On the other hand, the situation he faces is different from that of other people. Other people often have more or less avatars in the outside world, who can collect resources and comprehend the great truth, but all his avatars in the outside world have been destroyed, and now only this true body of divine power is left trapped in the Endless Abyss.

There were no resources to be collected in the Endless Abyss. If he wanted to comprehend the great Dao, he could only sit in meditation and meditate. He would guard the city for a long period of time at a time, accumulate enough time, and then go into seclusion for a long time again to see if he could gain some insights.

or,
That is to try to venture out and look for some wonders in the Endless Abyss for contemplation, but that is often quite dangerous. For him, only his divine body is trapped in the Endless Abyss, so naturally he is unwilling to take any risks.

After hearing what Lord Jingtian said, Lord Luhe also sighed and said, "We are trapped in the Endless Abyss. Our path of cultivation is ultimately blocked. If we were in the outside world, Lord Jingtian would have already reached the peak."

Going from the normal eighth heaven level to the eighth heaven peak is actually a natural process. This step requires the comprehending of more three mysteries fusion. And having already stepped into the eighth heaven and comprehended at least one of the three mysteries fusion, to comprehend more three mysteries fusion is actually not as difficult as the step of 'from nothing to something'.

Often, as long as time accumulates, you will eventually reach the peak.

But the Endless Abyss is too barren after all, with no resources and not much to comprehend. As a result, Lord Jingtian, who was trapped there, was trapped in the Eighth Heaven for a long time.

In fact, what Lord Jingtian cares more about is not the step from the Eighth Heaven to the peak of the Eighth Heaven. After all, no matter how trapped he is, no matter how scarce the resources are, with his foundation and realm, he can always reach it as long as he accumulates over a long period of time.

What he cared about was that even the step from the Eighth Heaven to the peak of the Eighth Heaven was so difficult, so after he reached the peak of the Eighth Heaven, his hope of reaching the Ninth Heaven would be extremely slim, which also meant that he might be trapped in the Endless Abyss forever!

There is no beginning and no end, an abyss without end.

It really lives up to the name of this dangerous place.

After hearing what Green River God said, Lord Jingtian just shook his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the red rock cave in the distance. He remained silent for a while and no longer responded.

Many other gods nearby exchanged greetings with the Green River God.

"Green River, congratulations."

"Last time I discussed the Dao with you, I felt that you had already accumulated a lot of knowledge, and you only needed the final step. Sure enough, after only a few decades, you have already taken this step. Now, we are all looking forward to the eighth heaven."

Except for Jingtian, all the gods are at the peak of the seventh heaven and are very polite to Luhe.

On the one hand, Green River has reached the peak of the seventh heaven and is already as powerful as them. On the other hand, in this endless abyss, the gods in the cultivator camp are all on the same front. What's more, for the next ten thousand world years, they are responsible for defending the city, so they must cooperate with each other and no mistakes can be made.

When the Green River God heard what everyone said, he smiled faintly and responded to everyone one by one.

"There should be no one else guarding the city this time."

Suddenly someone said something.

Generally speaking, for a city defense mission, having an Eighth Heaven God in charge, plus a dozen Seventh Heaven peak masters, is basically enough to deal with attacks from ordinary level Abyss Beasts. There are only a few situations that are difficult to deal with.

But just as he finished speaking, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and a figure appeared silently on the top of the tower.

Everyone paused and looked in unison. They saw a man in a simple long gown. He was not tall, but his spiritual power seemed very strong, giving people a slight sense of oppression, and his aura was very unfamiliar.

Seeing that the visitor was very unfamiliar, Green River God and the others fell silent, looking at the visitor carefully. Thoughts flashed through their minds, and they quickly guessed the visitor's identity.

"Chen Mu, nice to meet you all."

Chen Mu's eyes swept across the many gods and he took the initiative to speak in a calm tone.

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately confirmed their guesses and clarified Chen Mu's identity.

The one who recently joined the Yan Yang Society... Lord Shepherd!

Although there are thousands of Gods in Yan Yang Society, all parties will know something about any new God who joins Yan Yang Society, not to mention that Chen Mu is not an ordinary God, but a God Overlord of the Eighth Heaven!
Although there are thousands of gods in the Yan Yang Society, there are only dozens or even a hundred who have reached the eighth level.

Although according to rumors, Chen Mu is not an Eighth Heaven Lord like Jingtian who has mastered the fusion of the three mysteries, but a God Lord overlord who relied on extremely profound foundation and divine power to forcibly break through the threshold of the Eighth Heaven. He is weaker than Jingtian, but he has finally broken through the Eighth Heaven, and there is still a qualitative change in his strength.

"Shepherd Lord."

Green River God and others reacted and responded to Chen Mu immediately.

Jingtian Divine Lord, who was originally looking out of the city at the vast red lava cave, also looked away in surprise, looked at Chen Mu, and said, "I heard that another fellow from the Yanyang Society has come. I never thought I would be able to meet him so soon. I was thinking of inviting Divine Lord Mu to my cave for a small gathering after this."

As the overlord of the gods in the eighth sky, he was still a little arrogant towards the Green River God and others, but towards Chen Mu, who had also reached the eighth sky level, he treated them equally.

However, as far as he knew, Chen Mu seemed to have reached the eighth level by relying on his accumulation and background, and had not really penetrated the fusion of the three mysteries. There was still a certain gap between him and a true eighth level strongman. This situation was also quite special. Perhaps, after a long time, Chen Mu would be able to penetrate the fusion of the three mysteries, and his strength would greatly improve. It was even possible that he would be able to take a step forward and directly approach the peak of the eighth level, going further than him.

But it is also possible that, like the vast majority of the Seventh Heaven Gods, they are trapped at the threshold of the fusion of the three mysteries, unable to make any progress.

But no matter what,
After all, Chen Mu's strength has reached the eighth level, which is enough to gain his recognition.

"Lord Jingtian."

Chen Mu also recognized the identity of Lord Jingtian. After all, he was the overlord of the Lords of the Eighth Heaven. He had already learned about the many Lords within the Yanyang Society in detail from Lord Fangu and Pengyi.

Chen Mu nodded slightly at the other party and took the initiative to say: "I just entered the Endless Abyss and have not yet adapted to the environment here. Therefore, when I first came here, I secluded myself for some years and secretly learned about the situation here."

Lord Jingtian nodded and said, "When I first fell into the Endless Abyss, I was also at a loss. I traveled alone in the lava cave for a long time. Later, I joined the Yanyang Society and finally settled down... I have been in this Endless Abyss for hundreds of kalpas. Although I haven't explored much, I know a lot about this place. If Lord Mu has anything you want to know, you can come to me and ask."

"Thank you very much, Lord Jingtian."

Chen Mu responded.

Although Lord Jingtian is not as strong as Lord Fangu, as Lord Jingtian said, the other party has stayed in the Endless Abyss for hundreds of kalpas. Even if he rarely goes out to explore, he has a deep understanding of the situation here and may even know many secrets that Lord Fangu does not know. In addition, he is polite and considerate, so Chen Mu naturally returns the courtesy.

Another moment passed.

No one else arrived.

Lord Jingtian finally retracted his gaze and took the initiative to say, "Okay, we will be stationed here this time, so let's briefly discuss the matters of defending the city."

Green River God and others responded one after another, while Chen Mu stood aside with his hands behind his back, watching silently.

In fact, there is no need to discuss the matters of defending the city in detail. It is nothing more than how to deal with the attack of the abyss beast. All those present are gods, and there are only a dozen of them. No matter how they attack, there will basically be no chaos. The so-called matters of defending the city are just a general discussion of the tricks and means that each person is good at, to avoid interference with each other due to incompatibility when taking action.

What is not surprising is that among the more than ten gods, only Chen Mu is from the Void lineage, and the rest, including the God Jingtian, all mainly practice the Creation lineage. As for the Time lineage, no one has it.

This made Chen Mu secretly think that the lineage of time was indeed the shortest and most difficult one.

It seems that it can be more clearly reflected in this endless abyss.

There are almost no resources to be obtained in the Endless Abyss, and there are not many wonders for people to comprehend. If one wants to comprehend the great Dao, one can either sit in meditation and practice, or discuss the Dao with some gods of the same lineage.

There are a large number of gods from the Creation lineage, and it is always easier for them to gain some insights by discussing with each other. However, there are much fewer gods from the Void lineage, and as for the Gods from the Time lineage, there are even fewer!
In the entire Yan Yang Society, there are dozens or nearly a hundred Eighth Heaven Gods, but only one is from the Time lineage.

However, Chen Mu just sighed secretly about this. At present, these did not have much impact on him. Although there were few gods in the Void lineage, his path of cultivation did not require him to exchange ideas with others for the time being.

now,

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, he has actually accumulated most of the experience in the fusion of the three mysteries of the void lineage. He only lacks the final little bit. He can rely on the system panel to directly glimpse the essence of the fusion of the three mysteries and thus get to the root!
……

Above the desolate and vast land of crimson caves.

A city that is so small and inconspicuous is slowly flying by.

Looking down, one can see that the ground above the cave is covered with rugged rock formations and dark caves, all leading to unknown places. The interiors are interconnected and penetrate the entire underground rock formations.

The city flying in the sky is naturally the Molten City. Although it is said to be small, it actually has the means of the void, which can converge the huge and vast body into a very small point in the void structure.

but.

Even so, the slowly flying Molten City still couldn't completely cover up all sounds.

In other words, the various abyss beasts born in the Endless Abyss are strange and varied, and their methods of exploration are also various. Even if the aura is restrained to the extreme from the level of void and creation, these abyss beasts still have various ways to capture traces.

It can be said that almost all the gods have tried to study the Abyss Beasts, but the results of their attempts were all fruitless, because the composition of the Abyss Beasts is almost exactly the same as those rock formations. They are all formed by the fusion of different mysterious forces from different avenues, which is simply beyond the scope that the gods can try to understand.

Look up along the land.

It can be seen that there is no sky above, and at the far end is also a rugged rock layer. That is naturally the lava cave on the upper level. Through some holes on its surface, there is a chance to find a passage and reach the upper level.

The Molten City was currently flying over the middle of the two layers of lava caves, trying to stay as centered as possible and not getting close to either side.

But even so,
During the slow flyby, things continued to happen.

Directly below the Molten City, in a rugged rock cave, when the Molten City passed overhead, a strange black shadow like a tentacle quietly emerged from the cave. The black shadow swayed slightly as the Molten City passed by, obviously aware of the existence of the Molten City and seemed to be observing something.

Just as the Molten City was gradually disappearing into the distance, the black shadow finally made a move. With a "whoosh", it left the cave and merged directly into the void, chasing after the Molten City.

After a while.

It approached the Molten City and directly crashed into the void barrier outside the Molten City!

Almost at the same time, inside Molten City, on the top of the high tower on the city wall, Jingtian, Luhe, Chen Mu and many other gods opened their eyes and looked out.
