Chapter 616: Chapter 364 Destruction_2
“No wonder there was that map.”
Chen Mu rubbed his brows as he stared at the stone vein before him.
Even for people like Feng Hongsheng and Shi Zhenyong, coming across such a place, knowing well that if they could make use of it, it would be a precious treasure, but having no way to utilize it, they would most likely end up making a map of it, then leave.
However.
Even though he had no idea how to create a Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure, Chen Mu had no intentions of giving up. Instead, he continued to study and explore the stone vein.
The person who left that map behind might have been just a Grandmaster, who indeed had no means of dealing with this stone vein, but Chen Mu was different. Although he was also a Grandmaster now, his strength was comparable to the Blood Exchange Realm, coupled with the practice of Qiankun Eight Phases.
...
Even if nothing else…
He could at least destroy this stone vein!
This stone vein exists by relying on the balance between the power of the Earth’s Veins inside and the Cave Heaven. With his current strength, breaking that balance would not be so difficult, and it would naturally lead to its collapse.
Once the Ice State Abyss is sealed, it would be at least another hundred years before it could reopen. Chen Mu would not leave such a treasure trove untouched for later. If in the end, no method was found, he would have to take some extreme measures.
Even if he gained nothing, witnessing the complete collapse of a Cave Heaven World up close would surely bring him an extraordinary enlightenment.
And so.
Chen Mu meticulously explored around the stone vein, eventually confirming that there was only one cave entrance leading to the inside of the Cave Heaven World from the vein, and there were no entrances from any other direction.
Even if one were to forcefully carve out a rift from another direction and delve deeper, it wouldn’t lead to that inner part of the Cave Heaven World. Only by taking the only pathway could one reach it.
Finally.
Chen Mu returned to the entrance of the passageway once again.
“It seems there’s no way.”
He gazed intently into the depths of the passageway, his eyes becoming focused and determined as he suddenly took a step inside.
With his current abilities, he could destroy this stone vein if he wanted to, but to wholly uproot it and carry it away was a fanciful notion. To slowly refine and internalize it was also not possible, not to mention whether it could be done or not, it was not something that could be accomplished in a short time. All plans were unsuitable, so it was time to be more extreme.
There was nothing particularly rare inside this small Cave Heaven anyway, and even after a hundred years it wouldn’t produce anything precious. Even if it was destroyed, he wouldn’t find it much of a pity. After all, destroying the stone vein didn’t necessarily mean its complete destruction; in the end, this was also a trial, and what changes it would bring were uncertain even to him.
Soon.
Chen Mu reached the interior of the small Cave Heaven once more.
At the edge of this Cave Heaven, looking around, one could see the periphery of the Cave Heaven shrouded with white rifts. These barriers were beyond even Chen Mu’s ability to approach, as each white rift contained the power of a void rift—it was a mark that he could only leave when exerting his full strength, and the edge of the Cave Heaven was densely packed with them.
“This is the place…”
Chen Mu carefully sensed around the entrance of the small Cave Heaven and soon pinpointed a node.
To destroy the stone vein from the outside was very difficult, as the stone vein contained the overwhelming Power of Heaven and Earth. Even though it spanned only about ten miles, it was incredibly tough to break through.

And the same applied from the inside. Looking at the border of the Cave Heaven, nearly all were white rifts. Even if he went all out, adding a few more rifts wouldn’t mean much. At most, it would accelerate the Shattering.
Therefore,
the key was to destroy the node connecting the stone vein and the Cave Heaven.
Once the node was damaged, the Power of Heaven and Earth within the stone vein and the Void Force of the Cave Heaven would become unbalanced; coupled with the shock from the Earthly Abyss, only then could this place truly be broken.
After identifying the critical node connecting the stone vein to the small Cave Heaven, Chen Mu took several steps back, retreating to one side of the pathway, standing amidst the stone vein. Then, with a glint in his eyes, he raised his hands in a sweeping motion to form a Fist Seal.
Hum!!!
Accompanying his actions, the grand, sweeping Power of Heaven and Earth surged from the outside world, continuously converging in front of him, until it solidified to its extreme state. He then took a deep breath while the vast Yuan Gang True Essence also surged powerfully from within him.
Qiankun Domain, gathering the power of Heaven and Earth, solidifying the Qian Seal!
Qiankun Martial Body, with Yuan Gang Inner Breath, solidifying the Kun Seal!
The two brilliantly shining seals merged into one, rotating and transforming into a complete Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal!
“Huff…”
At this moment, Chen Mu’s body was taut, he dared not slacken at all, because this was the fullest extent of his power he had ever exerted, pushing all his strength to the limit, solidifying the most powerful Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal he could.
Finally, with a forward wave of his hand, the luminous Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal burst forth, instantly tearing through the void, landing more than ten zhang away, accurately striking the most critical node between the Stone Vein and the Cave Heaven.
Crack!
Accompanied by a shattering sound.
There, at the node within the void, the small Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal suddenly exploded, and on the nothingness where it was located, it left a minute white crack, roughly the size of two fingers.
If it were outside,
the tiny white crack would mend and disappear in an instant.
But here, the white crack that Chen Mu forcibly tore open with one strike not only did not disappear immediately, it even began to quietly spread outwards during the brief moment of a breath.
Crack, crack,
sounds resembling the breaking of ice continuously emanated.
It was as if some balance had been shattered; the Power of Heaven and Earth contained within the Stone Vein and the Power of the Cave Heaven could no longer perfectly blend, and the oppression emanating from the Earthly Abyss immediately took effect over the entire Stone Vein and the Cave Heaven within.
That crack, which was initially only as thick as two fingers, quickly spread to nearly a foot, and then began to spread outward like a spider web, with chunks of the void shattering incessantly.
Whoosh.
Chen Mu had already retreated to the edge of the Cave Heaven World shortly after delivering the strike with the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, seeing the irreversible shattering within the Cave Heaven World, he did not hesitate to retreat into the Stone Vein passage.
At that very moment, the Stone Vein passage was also unstable, the rock layers in all directions were beginning to show signs of fracture, spreading continuously.
Not just the passage.
The entire Stone Vein, an area of more than ten li across, began to tremble and sway.
Chen Mu quickly exited the Stone Vein passage, came out from the Stone Vein, and then without a pause, rushed upward, breaking through the earth and emerging above ground, where he hovered in the air, looking down at the Stone Vein below.
He saw,
the land for tens of li around was continuously trembling.
And within that, the area where the Stone Vein was located, a silent and desolate expanse of about ten li, displayed a crisscrossed scene of destruction; the entire Stone Vein quaked, becoming more and more intense, more and more violent.
This was not something Chen Mu’s power could achieve; all he did was break the internal balance of the Stone Vein. In reality, it was the violent collision between the Earthly Abyss realm and the Stone Vein, as well as the small Cave Heaven!
Crack! Crack!!
The terrifying spectacle quickly unfolded; the surface of the Stone Vein within a radius of more than ten li began to show signs of fracturing, and with the fracturing of the Stone Vein, the nearby void also began to display a dense network of white cracks.
However, these cracks in the void of the Earthly Abyss only mended and disappeared in an instant, only to continue shattering again and again within a radius of ten li, each white crack signifying a shock and conflict between the voids. The might of the burst was even greater than that of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal that Chen Mu had previously executed with all his might!
“Humans are so insignificant,” Chen Mu thought, overlooking the scene below, feeling the terrifying conflicts and might erupting from the void. Even as a Qiankun Grandmaster, comparable to the power of Blood Exchange, he could only sense his own insignificance.
Facing such collisions between the void, the earth and the forces of Cave Heaven, even one in the Blood Exchange Realm would find themselves caught in it, surely facing certain death!
