Collision of Devouring Power

Collision of Devouring Power

Space rippled, and Mu Chen and Su Youwei appeared in midair. Mu Chen opened his eyes at that moment.

He had just been feeling the improvement from opening his second meridian when an accident suddenly occurred. The Space Ancestral Symbol had actually resonated with his second meridian and teleported him away.

Su Youwei had been teleported along with him because she was holding onto him. This truly had been an accident.

"Fuck!"

The sudden sensation of falling made Mu Chen's eyes widen. He and Su Youwei were plummeting rapidly.

Couldn't it have teleported them somewhere more steadily? The Space Ancestral Symbol was such a scam—it had actually made him play free fall?!

He was only in the Meridian Opening Realm and could not stay airborne yet. He would need to reach the Heaven Pass Realm before he could begin flying, so all he could do was fall rapidly.

"Splash!"

Water sprayed everywhere as Mu Chen crashed heavily into a stream. The water was shallow, barely deep enough to cover his ankles, but the sand and stones beneath it dug painfully into his back.

Su Youwei fell right after him and landed squarely on his chest, nearly knocking the breath out of him and making him pass out.

"Where are we?"

With Mu Chen beneath her as a human cushion, Su Youwei did not feel much pain. She looked around in a daze.

Unlike the Black Forest Mountain Range, the forest here was older and quieter. Towering ancient trees blotted out the sky, and only thin shafts of sunlight reached the ground, forming scattered specks of light.

"Cough, cough. Youwei, could you get up first?" Mu Chen's helpless voice rang out, startling Su Youwei into jumping to her feet.

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

Su Youwei spoke awkwardly. Since she had landed on Mu Chen's chest, her upper body was barely wet. Mu Chen, on the other hand, had been lying in the stream and looked like a drenched rat.

"I'm fine. My back just hurts a little from the rocks."

Mu Chen stood up and rubbed his back. Water dripped from his trouser legs and sleeves.

Looking around, he had never been to this unfamiliar place before. Moreover, the forest carried a dangerous aura. Powerful Source Beasts likely lived here.

"Be careful, Youwei. This place is much more dangerous than the Black Forest Mountain Range." Mu Chen released his Soul Power and remained alert for danger in the forest.

Su Youwei nodded. A jade-like glow shone from her slender fingers, radiating a chill. If danger appeared, she would strike immediately.

"Roar, roar~"

An unfamiliar roar came from the distance, causing Mu Chen and Su Youwei to tense up.

An ancient rune floated from above Mu Chen's head and transformed into a terrifying black hole, emanating powerful Devouring Power. The surrounding space rippled, as though it could devour even light.

That beastly roar had made Mu Chen sense danger.

It was definitely not a First-grade Source Beast. At the very least, it was Third Grade, possessing strength comparable to a Heaven Pass Realm expert.

Before long, a small beast with pale yellow fur appeared. It seemed to have been rolling around on the ground, leaving its body grimy and dusty. It looked just like a little dog.

Mu Chen frowned. This small beast was not as harmless as it appeared. Through his Soul Power, he could sense that it was extremely dangerous. The earlier roar had probably come from it.

"Youwei, don't attack yet," Mu Chen said.

They did not know the little beast's background, and attacking rashly would not be wise. Besides, it was very likely a Source Beast capable of matching a Heaven Pass Realm expert.

Su Youwei nodded. If Mu Chen had not stopped her, she truly would have planned to strike first.

"Roar?"

The little beast raised its head and looked at the black hole above Mu Chen's head. A trace of confusion flashed through its beastly eyes.

After thinking for a moment, the little beast opened its mouth. Black light emerged within it, also radiating Devouring Power. At the same time, its tiny body erupted with astonishing momentum and majesty.

"Could it be Tuntun?"

Mu Chen was slightly stunned. At this time, the only Source Beast capable of using Devouring Power should be Tuntun, especially with such pure and powerful Devouring Power.

Could this be...

Upon seeing Tuntun, Mu Chen knew where the two of them were. This was far too much of a coincidence.

"Mu Chen, this fellow has an extremely powerful bloodline. Be careful," Little Marten's grave voice sounded beside Mu Chen's ear.

He was a Heavenly Demon Marten, one of the Four Great Overlord Clans of the Beast Domain on the Heaven Xuan Continent. His bloodline could suppress countless beasts, yet before Tuntun, he was experiencing the feeling of being suppressed for the first time.

Even the powerful Dragon Clan had never made him feel this way.

"I know."

Mu Chen grumbled inwardly, now almost certain that this was Tuntun. Of course its bloodline was powerful—it was the Innate Sacred Beast Ancestral Taotie, one of the most powerful Sacred Beasts in the entire Heaven Origin World.

Even without being affected by Yaoyao's awakened Divinity, if it simply grew step by step, it would ultimately become at least a Three-lotus Sacred Beast. Even now, it was far stronger than Mu Chen.

From Tuntun's posture, it was preparing to test him.

That made sense. A human possessing Devouring Power would naturally draw the attention of Tuntun, which possessed the same power.

With his Late Void Realm Soul Power, Mu Chen could activate the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and hold out against Tuntun for a while.

Late Void Realm Soul Power could inscribe Third-grade Origin Patterns, allowing one to contend with the Heaven Pass Realm. Tuntun should currently be at the Primordial Realm level.

Although he could not use Third-grade Origin Patterns, could the Devouring Ancestral Symbol possibly be inferior to one?

Activating an Ancestral Symbol did not rely solely on Soul Power, but his Source Qi was currently too weak, so he could only use Soul Power.

"Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Devouring Power."

A deep black aura spread out, carrying mysterious Devouring Power as it swept toward Tuntun, as though it wanted to drag it into a dark space.

"Roar, roar!"

A glint flashed through Tuntun's beastly eyes. The black light in its mouth radiated domineering Devouring Power and clashed against the black curtain of light, the two forces pulling against each other.

Bang!

Under the pull of the two streams of Devouring Power, stones on the ground were dragged over. The black hole's force crushed them directly into powder, and a large pit gradually formed in the earth. This Devouring Power seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and devouring the earth, incomparably tyrannical.

Su Youwei covered her red lips in astonishment. Tuntun was one thing, but she had never expected Mu Chen to possess such an astonishing method.

After her surprise faded, Su Youwei looked at Mu Chen resentfully. She had thought they were roughly on the same level, but he actually had such abilities hidden away.

Mu Chen felt awkward. He could feel that scorching gaze on his back and knew it belonged to Su Youwei. This was the first time Mu Chen had displayed such a method, so she had known nothing about it before.

However, this was not the time to lose focus. Even with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, he was no match for Tuntun. The gap between them was right there.

"Tuntun, stop."

Just as the stalemate continued, a clear and gentle young girl's voice rang out. Tuntun gave a whimper and withdrew its ability. Seeing this, Mu Chen also recalled the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
