With a puchi sound, the Purgatory Demonic Bear's head flew high into the air under the impact of the magma-like blood. Its savage eyes were filled with astonishment.
It couldn't understand why this human could at most cause some injuries to it after fighting for so long, but in the end, he was able to cut off its head with a single strike.
Chu Mu's figure gently landed on the ground. He was also stunned. He absolutely didn't expect that the sword he swung out at the last moment would actually match the charm of the black-robed man's sword. The faint silver luster flickering on the sword seemed to still remain in his eyes.
"Sword Force …" Chu Mu murmured.
The appearance of Sword Force, cutting off the head with a single strike. That kind of feeling was incomparable. It couldn't be described with mere words.
Raising his sword, he once again swung out, wanting to cut open the corpse of the Infernal Demonic Bear and extract its essence. A powerful repulsive force made Chu Mu's hand numb. This sword didn't have a silver luster.
Calming down, he focused on that godly sword. In a flash, he felt as if he was possessed by a sword god.
After ten breaths of time, his eyes opened and a bright light shot out from them. The sword once again slashed out. The sword trembled and a strange power seemed to be born from nothingness. It flowed through the sword, and as it breathed, it flickered with a faint silver light.
With a faint crackling sound, the Sword Light left behind a faint trace in the air, slowly dissipating.
"That's the feeling," Chu Mu secretly said.
He was bewitched. Ignoring the corpse of the Infernal Demonic Bear and the approaching roars, he continued to cultivate.
Chu Mu was certain that this was Sword Force. Its sharpness was astonishing.
But right now, it was somewhat unstable. He still couldn't reach a hundred percent.
After swinging three or four times in a row, he didn't activate Sword Force. Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry. He continuously recalled, comprehending that state, and once again swung his sword. This time, the sword flickered with a faint silver luster.
After experimenting with more than thirty swings, only five of them succeeded in activating Sword Force. Roughly a sixth or seventh of it, it wasn't stable.
At this time, more than ten Infernal Demonic Beasts rushed over from all directions, rousing Chu Mu.
"I'll use you guys to practice my sword." With a thought, Chu Mu chose the side with the least amount of Purgatory Devil Beasts and sprinted over.
None of the three Purgatory Magical Beasts could compare to the Purgatory Demonic Bear. Close to it, the Inch Step was executed, and the sword was drawn.
His sword energy surged, and a faint silver luster flowed over it. With a slash, the head of the Purgatory Demon Beast flew high into the air.
The sharp claws fell, shattering the afterimage. Then, he slashed out again. This time, he didn't use any sword energy, but he still left a bone-deep wound on the Purgatory Demonic Beast's body.
By the time the other Purgatory Magical Beasts approached, these three Purgatory Magical Beasts had already died under Chu Mu's sword.
In the fierce battle, the Inch Step guaranteed Chu Mu's safety, the Inch Sword guaranteed his killing power, and the Inch Step was able to instantly kill the Purgatory Magical Beasts.
The final Purgatory Magical Beast died under Chu Mu's sword. Chu Mu hastily cut open the corpses of the Purgatory Demonic Beasts, including the Purgatory Demonic Bear's corpse. In the end, he obtained four essence cores. He quickly consumed them and immediately left. The smell of blood here would attract even more Purgatory Magical Beasts.
As he walked, he continued to practice his sword. Gradually, he reached the point where he could activate Sword Force for every two swings of his sword.
None of the sixth floor's Purgatory Magical Beasts could block his sword. Even the powerful Purgatory Demonic Bear died under his sword.
Even if he encountered a dozen or so Purgatory Magical Beasts, Chu Mu still dared to charge forward with his sword. He used the Inch Step to avoid being surrounded by the Purgatory Magical Beasts. Once he activated the Inch Sword, he could instantly kill a Purgatory Magical Beast. A dozen Purgatory Magical Beasts only needed twenty or thirty swings of his sword.
These dozen or so Purgatory Devil Beasts also allowed Chu Mu to obtain a few Essence Sources and strengthen his physique slightly.
Without Sword Force, his Inch Sword could only deal a moderate amount of damage to the sixth floor's Purgatory Magical Beasts. But when he activated Sword Force, he could at least heavily injure or instantly kill them.
The power of Sword Force shocked Chu Mu.
Chu Mu gave up on the idea of leaving the Swordless Purgatory. He continued to search for Purgatory Magical Beasts on the sixth floor, constantly fighting and activating Sword Force. He didn't know how many Purgatory Magical Beasts had died to his sword, but Chu Mu was finally able to activate Sword Force with a single swing of his sword.
Only at this point could he be considered to have grasped Sword Force.
Next was to cultivate Sword Force to the point where he could use it as he pleased.
Chu Mu was very grateful to that black-robed man. If not for that black-robed man leaving an imprint in Chu Mu's mind, giving Chu Mu a benchmark to comprehend and gradually harmonizing with its charm, Chu Mu wouldn't have been able to grasp Sword Force so quickly.
The Low-Ranked Sword Of Gojoseon had grasped Sword Force. Since ancient times, he seemed to be the only one to do so.
Cultivating, fighting, gradually improving. This time, Chu Mu's luck was rather good. He saw the outline of the Heavenly Sword Camp.
After fighting for a long time, Xiao Chen was somewhat tired and needed to rest.
When he walked into the Heavenly Sword Camp, the discerning swordsmen could tell that the sword in Chu Mu's hand was an Inferior Grade Holy Sword. They were astonished. Since when could a Low-Ranked Sword Of Gojoseon reach the sixth floor of the Swordless Purgatory?
However, just based on this sword, one could not determine that Chu Mu was a Low-Ranked Sword Of Gojoseon. Perhaps he was a High-Ranked Sword Of Gojoseon.
Naturally, the first step was to unseal the one hundred thousand Inferior Grade Primal Pills. Chu Mu quickly took out the six spatial rings and checked them one by one.
The number of Inferior Grade Primal Pills in these six spatial rings reached ten million. Including Chu Mu's, there were more than eleven million Inferior Grade Primal Pills. As for Medial Grade Primal Pills, there were more than one million. Including Chu Mu's, there were 1.1 million.
There were also Medicinal Pills, ores, metals, Spirit Herbs, and secret manuals for Martial Techniques.
As for Cultivation Techniques, there were no Movement Techniques or Movement Techniques. There were a total of six Sword Techniques: three Mortal Grade Sword Techniques, three Earth Grade Sword Techniques, and the highest was a High-Ranked Earth Grade Sword Technique called the Mountain Sea Sword Technique.
A High-Ranked Earth Grade Sword Technique was indeed hard to come by. Unfortunately, Chu Mu could only practice sword moves, as he did not possess some of the power of laws.
In terms of Primal Pills, the harvest was already a lot. This made Chu Mu very happy. First, he went to the tavern and ordered a few pots of wine. Then, he ordered a few portions of meat and ate slowly. As he ate, he listened to the conversations of the other swordsmen in the tavern.
The swordsmen who could come to the sixth floor of the Swordless Purgatory were at least High-Ranked Sword Of Gojoseon. Most of them were Nirvana Realm swordsmen with a higher cultivation. There were not as many of them as there were on the fourth floor. However, the content of their conversations was not as boring.
After drinking the wine and eating the meat, Chu Mu slowly left the tavern. He spent ten thousand Inferior Grade Primal Pills to rent a room for ten days. Then, he entered the room and rested.
The only way to rest was to take a nap.
He slept for more than twenty hours. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and his fatigue was gone. His body felt refreshed from inside out. He couldn't help but stretch his body before getting out of bed. In this small room, he began to practice martial arts and move his hands and feet.
Xiao Chen executed the Inch Steps. His figure moved like the wind, circling around the room. After one hour, he stopped and breathed out a mouthful of turbid air.
The sufficient rest and the exercise made Chu Mu feel very comfortable. Then, he sat down on the prayer mat and started thinking.
Sword Qi was different from sword intent, sword essence, and the power of laws. It was a special kind of energy. It was the energy that one could activate with the sword in one's hand after comprehending the essence of a Sword Technique. It was a kind of sharpness, the sharpness of the Sword Dao.
Xiao Chen drew his sword and focused his mind. His wrist trembled, and a faint silver light flickered on the sword. A sharp aura spread out.
The sharpness of the sword, the sharpness of the sword energy.
With a gentle wave, the sharp sword tore through the air, leaving behind a faint mark in the air and slowly dissipating.
After activating the sword energy, the sword did not seem to be hindered in any way.
"With the sword energy I have now, it should be grade one," Chu Mu muttered to himself.
There was a description of sword energy in the book given out by the Five Elements Sword Sect. It was a kind of unique energy that belonged to the Sword Dao. It was divided into nine grades, from the lowest grade to the highest grade.
After activating the grade one sword energy, it could increase the sharpness of the sword by two times. If the sharpness of the sword was originally one, it would reach three after two times. The sharpness of the sword would increase greatly.
It was also because of this that Xiao Chen could cut off the Purgatory Demonic Bear's neck.
Activating the sword energy did not consume sword intent, nor the power of laws, nor sword essence, but physical strength. Every time it was activated, a part of his physical strength would be consumed. With Chu Mu's current physique, he could only activate it twenty times in a row.
It was only a first level sword strength, yet it already had such power. This caused Chu Mu to look forward even more to the second, third, and even the highest ninth level sword strength. However, comprehending the essence of sword arts and controlling sword strength was already extremely difficult. If it wasn't for a coincidence, Chu Mu would probably have to spend a few more years before he could activate sword strength. Raising the level of sword strength was not the slightest bit less difficult than activating sword strength.
However, Chu Mu had a feeling that he had yet to completely comprehend the essence of the black-robed man's sword. If he did, his grasp of the Sword Technique would be even deeper. Perhaps his sword energy would also rise and become even stronger.
Normally, he would stay in the rented room and comprehend the essence of the black-robed man's sword. He would also cultivate the Inch Step and so on. He would also take out three Earth Tier Sword Techniques to comprehend. Chu Mu discovered that after comprehending the essence of the Sword Technique, his efficiency in comprehending the Sword Technique had increased by several times.
When he tried to cultivate the Earth Tier Low Tier Sword Technique, Chu Mu discovered that his cultivation efficiency had also increased by several times.
In other words, cultivating the Sword Technique in the future would save him several times more time than before. Originally, he would need a month, but now, he would only need ten days.
Chu Mu had never imagined that comprehending the essence of a Sword Technique would have such benefits apart from grasping sword energy. This time, his cultivation in the Swordless Purgatory had completely exceeded his expectations.
He decided to stay in the Swordless Purgatory and continue cultivating.
While Chu Mu cultivated in the Swordless Purgatory, Ning Zhongtian left and returned to the Five Elemental Sword Sect. As soon as he returned to his dwelling, he immediately summoned his subordinates. After learning that Chu Mu had occupied the Celestial Couple Residence, he was extremely furious. He immediately found a sword cultivator proficient in sealing and prepared to break the seal.
