Chapter 1382 The Hidden Powerhouses
Thinking of this, Chen Mu shook his head, banishing these thoughts from his mind.
He had only grasped the essence of it, and at best, he could only be considered to have "one foot in the door of becoming a top-tier expert."
As stated in the item description, it was only something I saw—
A corner of the Heavenly Palace!
Thinking so much right now is probably a bit like worrying unnecessarily.
To be honest, among the powerful figures I could come into contact with, there were only a handful of "kindred spirits" such as the Supreme Demonic Path, Meng Po, and Lin Shan Tomb.
However, those powerful individuals who have not yet been encountered, especially the top-tier ones, probably know even more.
Chen Mu thought of his mother.
When I was trying to rescue my mom, there was a powerful demon lord hiding in the school she attended.
And later, after the bizarre mission ended, Mom actually said "Goodbye, son" at the last moment.
This means that Mom must know something too.
That mysterious Demon Lord might also be a top-tier expert who knows the true nature of things.
And there's the Lake of Fallen Gods...
The unknown existence within a black hole...
Chen Mu suddenly realized that he had been worrying unnecessarily.
So many powerful figures are still hiding in the shadows. It's truly laughable that I, who haven't even met them, think I'm the only one in the world who knows so much.
Chen Mu shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, keeping this new discovery of essence deep in his mind.
At that moment, he raised his hand, ready to try out this new skill.
Anyway, the skill's cooldown time is only one day.
Moreover, the skill only consumes a mere 1 of your innate Qi.
Why not give it a try!
With that thought, Chen Mu leaped into the air and flew towards the plain below.
At the same time, he activated a new skill, increasing the gravity within a 100-meter radius around him by 100 times!
The moment he activated the new skill, Chen Mu instantly felt a sharp downward trend within him.
It seemed as if a powerful force was pressing him down.
Fortunately, Chen Mu was strong enough that, as a high-level Ghost Lord, a mere 100 times the gravity had no significant impact on him.
It was at this moment that Chen Mu could clearly feel the air around him rapidly falling downwards due to the sharp increase in gravity.
"Does gravity pull the air downwards?"
In an instant, a small "vacuum" area was formed around Chen Mu. The air inside was basically drawn downwards.
However, it was only for a moment. The air above 100 meters above their heads was mistakenly moved into the 100-meter range due to normal airflow.
The next second, the air above them was drawn downwards again and plummeted down at high speed.
Therefore, in Chen Mu's macroscopic perception, a powerful downward airflow surged around him from top to bottom.
Despite the calm and still surroundings, a sphere of airflow was blown up within 100 meters of Chen Mu.
Xiao Shi, who was not far away, scratched his head in confusion after seeing this scene.
He still couldn't figure out how his boss had done it, creating such cool special effects.
As soon as Chen Mu landed on the ground, he stepped down with the force of a normal person, and the ground instantly cracked.
The hard ground beneath my feet shattered like glass.
Chen Mu found it fun and tried it a few times.
He was like a child walking on the beach, tiptoeing back and forth on the ground.
"Changing gravity is quite fun. If gravity were reduced by 50 times, would I be able to float?"
Chen Mu tried it again and indeed experienced a wonderful feeling.
interesting!
After trying it for a while, the initial excitement wore off.
Chen Mu thought about it and felt that this new skill didn't seem to be of much help in combat.
Even if gravity increases by 50 times, can I still defeat the Demonic Path Supreme?
Let alone fighting the Supreme Being of the Demonic Path, even if we were to fight those demonic beasts, we could crush them to death using gravity.
Once you acquire the Ghostly Longsword, or even a more advanced Ghostly Soldier, you should be immune to the effects of gravity.
"No, my mindset is still stuck in the old-fashioned 'fist to fist' combat mentality!"
Chen Mu shook his head. "The essence of a strong person is the control over the rules. I'm still using my past control over my innate strange energy and power to see the strength of top-level strong people."
Although the new skill may not be very effective in terms of raw power, it represents a change to the rules and serves as the entry point for top-tier powerhouses.
If combined with other rule modifications in the future, it might create an extremely powerful fighting force. My knowledge in this area is still lacking, and I need to think and learn more in-depth.
Chen Mu silently concluded.
Just then, Chen Mu sensed two familiar auras coming from the distant sky.
"That aura... it's Ye Changsheng's. He's back?" Chen Mu murmured to himself. "The other aura is... huh? How is it him? Why is he here?"
Chen Mu's lips twitched slightly, revealing that he had complex feelings towards the other visitor.
Before Chen Mu could react, he heard a deafening shout from the horizon:
"Congratulations to Boss Chen on his ninth successful attempt at the Ghost Gate! Boss Chen is awesome! Boss Chen is making a fortune!"
At that moment, Chen Mu felt an urge to kill that guy.
Chen Mu looked up at the sky and sighed, exhaling a breath towards the heavens.
I was just lamenting that something felt missing without that guy.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, that guy, like a little shadow, actually came looking for me on his own.
Wilderness!
Half a minute later, Ye Changsheng and the Wilderness Wanderer flew to Chen Mu's side.
Just as the wandering loner was about to shout again, he suddenly felt as if his mouth had been weighed down by a thousand pounds.
The mouth that was originally open was forcibly pressed shut by a powerful force.
The wilderness wanderer stared wide-eyed, not understanding what was going on.
Chen Mu smiled slightly. It seemed that the new skill was not useless after all.
At least [gravity] can be attached to a designated object. With 100 times the [gravity], I can shut up the wilderness wanderer.
Ye Changsheng cupped his hands to Chen Mu and said, "Congratulations, Boss Chen."
Chen Mu waved his hand, "It's nothing. By the way, why did you bring him along?"
The "he" Chen Mu was referring to was naturally the wilderness wanderer.
Ye Changsheng explained that after leaving the Great Rift Valley, he would come back every two days or so to check on Boss Chen and make sure nothing bad happened to him.
Today marks exactly two days since I last visited, so I'm back to check on things.
The wandering vagabond somehow found out about the news and insisted that Ye Changsheng take him along.
Ye Changsheng had no choice, since everyone was a high-ranking official and he couldn't refuse, so he simply took the Wilderness Wanderer with him.
It was quite a coincidence that I ran into Chen Mu coming out of the Ghost Gate as soon as I arrived.
