Da Xuan Martial Saint Chapter 1520 - 730: The Universe’s Fifth Supreme Venerable

Previously on Da Xuan Martial Saint...
Chen Mu pondered the simple yet profound pattern on his system panel, realizing that true Transcendence demands not further accumulation of Daos but a natural perception and relinquishment of self-will, allowing the three Origin Daos to integrate effortlessly. He discerned the flaws in paths taken by top Dao Venerables like the Primordial Palace Master, who strive too forcefully against the essence of non-action. In the Source Sea, accompanying Wutian Venerable and others, Chen Mu explored with newfound serenity, no longer fixated on marvels. Amid a bizarre Abyss, over a hundred Dao Venerables clashed chaotically around a volcano erupting with Primordial Power, likely birthing a rare Primordial Marvel, as powerful figures wielding supreme treasures vied for dominance.

Boom!!

In the midst of the raging turmoil, the dark volcano situated at the heart of the abyss finally burst out with a deafening explosion.

A massive surge of immense Primordial Power exploded from the volcano's core, thundering like a mighty True Dragon. This profound ultimate force demolished the Void, Creation, and Time—the three fundamental Great Dao powers.

As soon as this Momentum spread out, it made every Dao Venerable engaged in brutal battles pause for a brief second.

Right away,

All of them, no matter how near or far, shifted their attention to the volcano.

And in the very next moment, amid a world-shaking dread, a brilliant glow flashed within the bursting Primordial current, shooting upward along with the volcanic blast.

The energy radiating from this shining light wasn't just a single Great Dao power. It merged Creation, Void, and Time into a clear Primordial Power!

Primordial Marvel!

This was a Primordial Marvel that held the combination of three Great Dao powers!

Nearly all the Dao Venerables recognized this truth in an instant.

After that, the whole abyss descended into frenzy, with beams of light streaking across the emptiness, desperately chasing after the Primordial Marvel that had burst from the volcano, striving to seize it!

"Primordial Marvel! It's really a Primordial Marvel!"

Even mighty beings like Wutian Venerable had their eyes burning with fierce desire, charging ahead in wild excitement.

A Primordial Marvel that included three Great Dao powers, carrying the ultimate secret to the Realm of Transcendence—how could it fail to send the Dao Venerables into utter madness?

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

However, Dao Venerables who approached the light stream one by one were constantly pushed back by the raging Primordial power torrent.

The fiery current blasting from the volcano's depths, wrapped around the Primordial Marvel, ripped apart the Heavens Vault, crushed the Universe, and destroyed the Great Dao. No matter where it went, be it against a group of a dozen united Dao Venerables or a supremely strong Venerable commanding three Origin Dao, nothing could halt it, hurling bodies away repeatedly.

In the chaos,

Only one figure didn't pursue the ascending torrent; that was Chen Mu.

With more than a hundred Dao Venerables madly rushing forward, he remained motionless, eyes lifted, observing the Primordial stream and concentrating on the spot where the Marvel was forming.

His look held only careful examination, interest, and reflection—free from the burning greed that drove other Dao Venerables to claim it.

And right then,

As though following some hidden path.

The glow enveloped in the Primordial flow, after ripping through the Heavenly Universe and breaking the Great Dao, appeared exhausted, curving in a thin arc at the edge of the Source Sea, then plummeting downward again.

While falling, the flowing Primordial Power kept knocking away one Dao Venerable after another who tried to grab it.

From above, it dropped like a shining meteor, heading straight for Chen Mu who stood unmoving.

Boom!!!

This Primordial Marvel unleashed its last burst of energy, scattering the last cluster of a dozen Dao Venerables, as its accumulated Primordial Power faded, quietly landing on Chen Mu's head.

"For those who do not contend, none can contend with them?"

Chen Mu looked up, fixing his eyes on the crystal-clear Marvel, now with all its power gone, resting softly in front of him, briefly taken aback, a hint of astonishment and realization crossing his gaze.

Nothing in the world happened by mere chance; all was fated. Chen Mu appeared to understand the reason the Marvel came to him—not simply because he chose not to compete, but because he had grasped the way to transcendence, comprehending the core merging of the three Dao powers, and even without fully attaining it, faint transformations had stirred within him.

This faint transformation drew the Marvel to him in an enigmatic manner.

Still,

Even with the Marvel now right there before him, its Primordial Power completely scattered and ready for a simple grasp, Chen Mu's mind stayed utterly serene, without any excitement, longing, or haste, merely watching the marvel with steady calm.

"Brother Chen!"

"Grab it now!"

At the same time, those like Wutian Venerable, flung aside by the Primordial Power, witnessed the marvel drop near Chen Mu, their hearts surging with delight, but seeing Chen Mu's delayed reaction and failure to take it at once, urgent ideas raced through their minds, even transmitting calls from afar.

"This Primordial Marvel..."

Amid their pressing concerns, Chen Mu examined the marvel, a surge of emotion welling up inside him.

On the journey of Martial Arts, the Immortal Road, everyone must compete, even up to the Dao Venerables, yet the ultimate stride toward transcendence involves ceasing to compete, shifting from Perfection back to Void; competing breeds 'presence', pulling away from 'void'.
