Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 761 - 422: The Fall of the Celestial Human

With Ling Huan’s skills, having reached the Celestial Human Level in Xunmu Cave Heaven, if he were born in Da Xuan World, he would certainly be a pure Celestial Human master, unrestricted, and battling him would then have unpredictable outcomes.

Even though Ling Huan’s physique was a weak point, being of the poorest kind within the Blood Exchange Realm, the level of Unity of Heaven and Man brought significant enhancements, and he was still in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, not having yet stepped into the Blood Exchange.

What Chen Mu didn’t say was that, in Da Xuan World, Ling Huan might be an unrestricted Celestial Human, but he would also likely have crossed the threshold of the Blood Exchange Realm, reaching the final Realm of Body Tempering Martial Arts!

Ling Huan was destined not to be his match.

But at this moment, Chen Mu did not have any intentions to humiliate Ling Huan, after all, the other was a Celestial Human, and the first Celestial Human he fought, deemed respectable as he laid down his life to cover the retreat of Ling Ji and many others from the Spirit People Race.

If Ling Huan had wished to escape alone, having deployed this forbidden Secret Technique, he would have been able to flee instantly, and Chen Mu would have most likely been unable to stop him; yet the other chose not to do so. Now, even if escape was intended, it would be meaningless as Chen Mu could see Ling Huan’s body collapsing, an irreversible disintegration.

“Take this old man’s final move then.”

Ling Huan let the cracks spread continuously over his body, his gaze deep and intent on Chen Mu. Suddenly, his hands rapidly came together in front of him, instantly causing severe tremors in Xunmu below. From the crowns of the Xunmu trees around, as if endlessly, the power of Xunmu surged towards his body.

This action accelerated the shattering of his body but also caused his aura to rapidly swell.

Rustle.

Below, the sprawling tree sea that entangled Hong Shida and others seemed also to have its power drawn away. Already wilted, it now rapidly withered, turning into dust and dispersing, leaving only Ling Huan bathed in the emerald light.

His shattered body continued to bleed profusely, the blood not purely crimson but tinted with emerald hues, yet strangely, did not feel eerie but instead appeared sacred.

“…”

Chen Mu stood firm against the sky, his expression still calm.

Ling Huan’s death was irreversible, no matter how forbidden the technique, it posed no threat to him at the same level. This was Ling Huan’s final strike, fitting for experiencing the ultimate technique of a Celestial Human master.

Bathed in the surging light of Xunmu spiritual power, Ling Huan gazed at Chen Mu from afar, then His gaze shifted upward suddenly, looking at the Xunmu tree crowns spread like a canopy, obscuring the sky.

“The leaves return to their roots.”

With these words spoken, in an instant, the entire world’s surging spiritual power froze in place.

The wind stopped.

The swinging branches and leaves of Xunmu also quietly returned to stillness.

The extensive Xunmu, as if it contained wisdom, seemed to emit a hint of mourning, rendering the atmosphere throughout Xunmu Cave Heaven filled with solitude.

And in the next moment, Ling Ji’s shattered body no longer bled; instead, he plummeted downward rapidly, crashing onto a broad trunk of Xunmu.

The moment he landed, all the blood drained from his body turned vivid emerald green, and his entire being gradually transitioned from the emerald state into a deep brown color, merging with Xunmu below, this time not merely disappearing into Xunmu or using it to escape, but his whole being completely melted away, becoming part of Xunmu!

“Not good.”

“Go!”

Hong Shida and many other Grandmasters were nearby, who, upon witnessing this scene, hadn’t initially realized what was happening, but almost instantly grasped the danger, all their expressions drastically changing as they exerted all their might to retreat in all directions.

Almost the moment many Grandmasters made their sudden retreat.

Ling Huan, now merged with Xunmu, fully transformed into a part of Xunmu, turning into an extending branch, which suddenly spread vigorously in all directions, suddenly sweeping out endless branches!

The sky filled with branches attacked Hong Shida and many other Grandmasters, with the thickest one directly striking at Chen Mu, spanning the heavens in a flash, extending right before Chen Mu!

“The leaves return to their roots, eh? Such an ending is fitting for a Celestial Human’s stature.”

Chen Mu faced the incoming thick branch, this branch unlike any of Ling Huan’s previous tricks, now fully integrated with the endless Xunmu, as if the main body of Xunmu itself had swung a strike, like the majestic force of heaven, powerful and irresistible.
