Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 232 Qiankun's Might!

Almost at the same time that Chen Mu made his move, others present such as Kun Jie, Liao Chou, and the rest also took action. Apart from Wu Li, who was suppressing the Strength of Qian Heaven twenty zhang high in the sky, the attacks of the rest followed closely behind Chen Mu and arrived.

Attack after attack of demonic power surged mightily, and evil Qi converged into a black and deep red torrent, like blood and fog, threatening to completely engulf Chen Mu in an instant and kill him right there and then.

However.

While killing a Mysterious Corpse with a single punch, Chen Mu faced the successive attacks with nothing but a flash of icy intent on his face. Planting his feet firmly on the ground, the surging Earth Fiend Qi unexpectedly showed no resistance to him, merging directly together. Subsequently, it exploded into waves of black sand, billowing like tidal waves.

To suppress Qian Heaven, to trap him, the dense power of Earth Fiend especially arranged for this purpose, at this moment, was almost single-handedly manipulated by him, turning into a mighty torrent that exploded outward from him as the center in all directions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of explosions filled the air as the surging demonic power and clouds of Corpse Fiend Qi, under the counterattack of Earth Fiend's torrent, began to collapse in swathes.

The eight Mysterious Corpses that were focused on attacking Chen Mu were the first to be sent flying backward, followed by Kun Jie and other Sixth Rank Demon Men, who were unable to withstand the force of the Earth Fiend Qi that they had accumulated themselves and were each shaken into constant retreat.

From the moment Chen Mu burst forth, eradicating a Mysterious Corpse with a Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, followed by manipulating the power of Earth Fiend with the Qiankun Artistic Conception and shattering the joint attacks of everyone who came one after another, it all happened in an instant.

"Impossible!"

"Qiankun Artistic Conception?!"

Kun Jie and others who were shaken back, at this moment, almost all had expressions of undisguised shock, and some even cried out in horror.

Putting aside for a moment that Chen Mu was able to manipulate the power of Earth Fiend that they had arranged with formations to suppress Qian Heaven, just the might of Chen Mu's initial strike that annihilated a Mysterious Corpse had already far exceeded their expectations!

"This Earth Fiend Formation Veins is well arranged; you have been meticulous. However, to think to use this to deal with Chen is somewhat foolish."

Chen Mu stood firm in the center of the rolling black sands, with a boundless power of Earth Fiend Qi swirling and rising around him.

As his words fell, his expression turned icy, and he stamped his foot down again.

Boom!!

The black sand within dozens of zhang vibrated, causing ripples to undulate, and the power of Earth Fiend gathering here silently began to rotate, unexpectedly enveloping everyone into its fold at once.

Wu Li, hovering twenty zhang in the air, had his expression change repeatedly, his eyes filled with shock as he saw the area below that was originally arranged to trap Chen Mu. Instead, the power of Earth Fiend within dozens of zhang around that area was now being drawn, vaguely forming a profound and mysterious Cycle Mark, radiating awe-inspiring might.

"Not good!"

"Quickly disperse the power of Earth Fiend!"

Liao Chou's face showed terror, and by now he could clearly see that Chen Mu had not only cultivated Qian Heaven, but he also possessed the Kun Earth Artistic Conception.

This was the complete Qiankun Power!

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly have so effortlessly stripped away their control over all the Earth Fiend Qi here, turning the Power of Heaven and Earth to his own use, and trapping all of them within the grasp of the Earth Fiend Seal!

"Too late."

Chen Mu's icy voice spread like a cold wind from the netherworld, emerging from the surging Earth Fiend mist without any discernible direction, nor whereabouts of his figure. Then, in the next instant, his whole person appeared silently behind a Mysterious Corpse!

This Mysterious Corpse was using its own Mysterious Fiend Qi to fend off the impact of the surrounding Earth Fiend Qi. Since the Mysterious Corpse was itself tempered by the Earth Fiend Qi, it had a strong resistance to it and could even utilize it. But now, under the suppression of Chen Mu's complete Qiankun Artistic Conception, it struggled to contest with Chen Mu for control over the Earth Fiend Qi.

Hum!

The Mysterious Corpse abruptly struck out with an elbow toward Chen Mu behind it, the action and reaction both extremely quick, far from any clumsiness or delay. Its own Mysterious Fiend Qi combined with its robust body of Mysterious Steel Corpse caused the nearby rolling black mist to form a visible dent, spreading out waves.

However, such a terrifying strike was useless in front of Chen Mu; he still met it with a Fist Seal, where bands of light of different colors converged and swirled, forming series of marks that came together.

Wind Seal!

Fire Seal!

...

Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal!

With just a single strike of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, this Mysterious Corpse, tempered for who knows how many years and nearly as tough as the finest Treasured Artifact, was blasted apart from the elbow upward, inch by inch until its body broke into countless pieces!

Had Chen Mu truly only possessed the Qian Heaven Artistic Conception, then the Sky Demon Sect's people stepping in with the power of Earth Fiend to suppress Qian Heaven and seal off all directions including the skies above and the earth below with the Heavenly Net Earth Trap would indeed have left him no escape, even if he had immediately drawn the Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear to fight with his life on the line, the chances of escaping with his life would not have been great.

But.

Mastering a single kind of Qian Heaven and the complete Qiankun Artistic Conception are two entirely different concepts! Read latest chapters at empire

Not to mention how terrifyingly powerful the near-supreme Artistic Conception Technique, the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, is in buffing one's strength, just the formation of Qiankun makes one unstoppable, with all things in the world within Qiankun, all controllable and manipulable.

Heaven above, earth below, I alone am exalted!

Whether it's the clear Qi of Qian Heaven or the substantial power of Earth Fiend, both can be turned to one's own use with a mere flick of the wrist. Even the Heavenly Corpse Sect's Mysterious Corpses would struggle to contest with him for control of the Earth Fiend's power; after all, the Mysterious Corpse is just a 'corpse.' In mastering the Power of Heaven and Earth, they are far inferior to a Martial Artist who has truly cultivated the 'Kun Earth' Artistic Conception, and they fall far short of Chen Mu!
