The Swordless Purgatory had no sun, moon, or stars. There was no day or night. It was impossible to feel the passage of time.
Chu Mu kept moving forward and kept encountering enemies. The enemies were numerous and came in all shapes and sizes. There were zombies and skeletons, as well as various ferocious beasts called Purgatory Devil Beasts. One enemy after another died under his sword.
"Kill!"
With a shout, the Five Phase Sword turned into a sharp Sword Light. It pierced through the sky like a thunderbolt and cut through the neck of a Purgatory Beast, decapitating it.
The surroundings were filled with the corpses of Purgatory Beasts. There were dozens of them.
After killing the last Purgatory Beast, Chu Mu held his sword and gasped for breath. His Wood Phase Origin was temporarily suppressed. Otherwise, his physical strength would recover faster.
His physique was greatly weakened. At best, it was equivalent to the Ichino Sword Of Gojoseon's standard. He couldn't use his Sword Intent, Sword Energy, or Rule Force. He could only rely on his weakened physique to control the sword in his hand and display the sword arts that he had practiced.
From low to high, it was Gale Swift Sword, Metal Element Sword, Wood Element Sword, Water Element Sword, Fire Element Sword, and Earth Element Sword. Other than that, there was Raging Wave Sword, and Wind and Thunder 32 Swords.
All kinds of sword arts couldn't be integrated with Sword Intent, Sword Energy, or Rule Force. This gave Chu Mu a different feeling. When he first displayed them, they were just for show. However, Chu Mu's attainments in these sword arts were extraordinary. His comprehension was outstanding. He quickly understood the essence of these sword arts. Every move contained astonishing power.
He was constantly fighting and slaughtering. Sometimes, he would be scratched by the Purgatory Demonic Beasts. Fortunately, his body had been tempered by the Wood Avatar for a long time. Even though the Wood Avatar's Wood Avatar was currently suppressed, the toughness and self-healing ability of his physique were several times stronger than that of an ordinary One Star Sword King.
What was Purgatory?
Chu Mu could be considered to have truly experienced this.
In this place, one had to be alert even when resting. Otherwise, it was very likely that one would die from the sneak attacks that were everywhere.
Straightening his body, Chu Mu's aura recovered. The wounds on his body also healed rapidly under his strong self-healing ability. During this time, he had been paying attention to his surroundings. His eyes were filled with vigilance, and the light in his eyes was restrained as he paid attention to all the movements around him.
It couldn't be helped. He couldn't use his Divine Sense, so he could only rely on his own eyes to see what he wanted to see.
Vision could be deceiving. This was something that Chu Mu had verified once more. Some Purgatory Magic Beasts were able to change their color according to the environment, forming a very good protection. They could even hide their aura fluctuations.
With his stamina restored and his external injuries healed, Chu Mu walked forward while on high alert. There was a broken corpse there.
Looking at the broken bones left behind, Chu Mu judged that it should be the corpse of a human swordsman. He had died here, and his flesh had been eaten by the Purgatory Magic Beasts.
With a glance, Chu Mu could clearly see the minute details. His eyes narrowed, and he took out the Five Phase Sword. A ring flew up and landed in Chu Mu's hand. According to the pattern on it, Chu Mu judged that it was a spatial ring.
In the Ancient God World, spatial rings weren't very valuable. Almost everyone had one, so it wasn't strange. What made Chu Mu curious was whether there was anything in this spatial ring.
For example, Chu Mu only had a few low grade Primal Cores in his spatial ring. There was nothing else. He could be considered poor. However, others wouldn't be like him.
Primal Cores were useless in the Swordless Purgatory.
With his Divine Sense suppressed, Chu Mu couldn't enter the spatial ring to check. He could only choose to put it away. Of course, he could still use his own spatial ring. After all, it had his Divine Sense imprinted on it. The Swordless Purgatory didn't deliberately suppress this point.
After putting the spatial ring into his own spatial ring, Chu Mu took a deep breath. A cold and hot aura intertwined and surged into his body. It made Chu Mu feel like he was in a world of ice and fire.
He continued forward.
He constantly encountered, constantly fought, and constantly killed. In this place, Chu Mu also understood that the danger wasn't just the Purgatory Magic Beasts. There were other human swordsmen as well.
Once again, Chu Mu encountered other human swordsmen. Just think about it. After dealing with Purgatory Magic Beasts for a long time in such a vile environment, any normal person would feel pressured. When they met other swordsmen, their first reaction would be to communicate with them.
Unfortunately, that swordsman immediately attacked, attempting to kill Chu Mu.
Although they had the same physique, Chu Mu's swordsmanship was superior. With a counterattack, he killed the swordsman and took away his spatial ring.
The second time, he encountered another human swordsman. First, he greeted Chu Mu as if they were having a friendly conversation. Then, he launched a sneak attack to kill Chu Mu. Chu Mu was already prepared. Naturally, he wouldn't let him succeed. With a counterattack, he also killed the other party.
These two examples made him sigh. In this place, humans were even more savage than Purgatory Magic Beasts.
At the very least, Purgatory Magic Beasts wouldn't show any goodwill to you. They would either hide or directly attack you. Their hostility was absolute. As for humans, they would feign civility and take advantage of you when you weren't prepared. They were even more vicious.
Chu Mu didn't know how long it had been since he entered Swordless Purgatory. Now, he had already passed through the first and second layers, entering the third layer.
The second layer's Purgatory Magic Beasts were even stronger than the first layer's. The third layer's Purgatory Magic Beasts were even stronger than the first layer's. Chu Mu had also been injured a few times, but his gains weren't small either. He had obtained six spatial rings in a row. He didn't know what was inside, but Chu Mu put them away for now. When he left Swordless Purgatory in the future, he might be pleasantly surprised.
Other than the Wealth of the Dead, Chu Mu's progress in his swordsmanship was also extremely gratifying.
The Eighteen Gale Swift Swords was his limit. However, Chu Mu had made adjustments and optimizations in many battles, allowing the power of the Eighteen Gale Swift Swords to increase by twenty percent.
As for the Metal Elemental Sword Art and the other four sword arts, Chu Mu only had a deeper understanding of them. These five sword arts were created by the Five Elemental Sword Sect's founder over several hundred years. They were extremely complete sword arts. With Chu Mu's current ability, there was no way he could optimize them.
The Raging Waves Sword Art had also reached its peak through endless battles. The Thirty-two Wind and Lightning Swords had also improved. He could now execute thirty swords in one breath.
The Wind and Lightning Sword Art's thirty swords in one breath was several times stronger than the optimized Gale Swift Swords. However, at the same time, using the Wind and Lightning Sword Art's burden and exhaustion on the body was several times greater than using the Gale Swift Swords.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Mu tried his best not to use the Earth Tremor.
The third layer of Swordless Purgatory was even dimmer.
The toughness and sharpness of the Five Phase Swords gave Chu Mu a clear advantage.
Shaking off the blood on the sword, Chu Mu swept his gaze over the corpses of over a dozen Purgatory Magical Beasts. If he guessed correctly, this place shouldn't be far from the entrance to the fourth layer of Purgatory.
Looking around, he didn't discover anything. It couldn't be helped. An environment like Swordless Purgatory wouldn't produce any spiritual herbs or treasures.
As he advanced, he pondered over the problem of sword arts. Unknowingly, there were shouts coming from the distance. There seemed to be a battle.
Taking a closer look, there were three human swordsmen, one male and two females. One of the females seemed to be heavily injured and unable to participate in the battle. The other male and female were fighting fiercely with the Purgatory Magical Beast.
It was a Purgatory Magical Beast with the appearance of a werewolf standing upright. It was called a Purgatory Lycan. It was over two meters tall and had greyish-white fur all over its body. The muscles on its body bulged like a stone carving, and it was filled with terrifying explosive power. Its streamlined body was very vigorous, and its speed and reaction were shocking.
This kind of Purgatory Lycan could be said to be a very difficult opponent. Its reaction was fast, its speed was shocking, and its explosive power was shocking. Moreover, its pair of sharp claws were comparable to the best of the low-grade holy swords.
Chu Mu had encountered such a Purgatory Lycan when he entered the third layer of Swordless Purgatory. After a fierce battle, he used almost all of his means and paid the price of being clawed by the Purgatory Lycan and suffering a bone-deep injury. Only then did he successfully kill the Purgatory Lycan.
The Purgatory Lycan in front of him didn't seem to be weaker than the one he killed before.
It seemed that the two human swordsmen fighting the Purgatory Lycan were at a disadvantage and were somewhat passive. According to the current situation, the Purgatory Lycan would be injured in the end, and the human swordsmen would die. Unless the third human swordsman could recover from his injuries and join the battle, it would be possible to reverse the situation.
Even so, Chu Mu didn't have the slightest intention to make a move. If he had just entered Swordless Purgatory, he would have made a move without hesitation, but now …
The injured woman saw Chu Mu, gritted her teeth, and hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Sir, please make a move and kill this Purgatory Lycan together. There will be great rewards."
She could also see that the situation was not good, and she was injured. If she joined the battle, she would only become a burden. She might even die under the Purgatory Lycan's sharp claws.
She had no choice but to ask for help. As long as one more person joined the battle and attacked the Purgatory Lycan together to reduce the pressure on the other two, they would definitely be able to kill the Purgatory Lycan with a little more time. At the very least, they could force the Purgatory Lycan to retreat.
The other two naturally noticed Chu Mu, but they were fighting fiercely with the Purgatory Lycan and didn't dare to be distracted at all.
Seeing that Chu Mu didn't have the slightest intention to use his sword, the injured swordswoman spoke again and pleaded, "Sir, please make a move for the sake of being a human."
Chu Mu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he decided to make a move.
He took a step forward very quickly, and his speed became faster and faster. In the end, he turned into a light shadow. The Five Phase Sword was unsheathed, and a shocking cold light flew across the sky.
As soon as Chu Mu made a move, the gray hair all over the Purgatory Lycan's body stood up like steel needles. It felt a great threat from Chu Mu.
As soon as he made a move, there were eighteen moves. The Gale Swift Sword sword technique was merciless.
The roaring gale blasted out.
