As the sun set in the west, a red afterglow dyed the horizon red. The clouds in that area looked as if they were being burned by flames. They were bright red and emitted traces of residual heat.
Gradually, the residual heat receded and the sky became cold. The setting sun also sank into the darkness.
Night fell!
The night wind blew over slowly, causing the leaves to sway and rustle. The world was completely silent.
Suddenly, a series of roars came from somewhere. Some were short, some were violent, and some were long. It was as if they were responding to each other. The roars rose and fell, making the night even richer and more dangerous. Because it was nighttime, all the Faux Beasts had gone berserk.
After ordinary Faux Beasts went berserk, their strength would explode and they would become even more tyrannical. Unless the swordsmen of the human race practiced a special Cultivation Technique, they would be affected to a certain extent.
The night wind blew a few leaves towards Chu Mu. They drifted three inches away from Chu Mu's head. Suddenly, there was a slight sizzling sound. It was as if a few strands of silver that were hard to see with the naked eye had sliced through the air. The leaves were instantly sliced apart. As they were continuously sliced apart, they turned into small pieces and then into powder.
This was the invisible sword Qi formed by sword intent. It was protecting Chu Mu, allowing him to comprehend in peace.
He placed his palms on the Scarlet Blood Sword. He felt as if his palms had fused with the Scarlet Blood Sword. His body also gradually fused with the Scarlet Blood Sword. His thoughts also seemed to enter the Scarlet Blood Sword. He could feel the Scarlet Blood Sword's fluctuations.
This was an extremely wondrous experience. It was as if his body had become a sword. It was an extremely rare experience.
No matter how much he comprehended, there was still a limit. Only by personally experiencing it would he be able to see it more clearly.
Of course, Chu Mu's current experience was only at a very shallow level. He had only temporarily fused with the Scarlet Blood Sword. It was impossible for him to truly become the Scarlet Blood Sword.
Even so, Chu Mu was filled with inspiration. All sorts of insights emerged and his understanding of swordsmanship and swordsmanship deepened.
Suddenly, something seemed to break. Chu Mu's body trembled slightly and his eyes snapped open. His pupils turned a pure silver, shining with sharpness. Two streaks of silver light shot out, piercing through space. They traveled several hundred meters before disappearing into the darkness, leaving behind two silver streaks as they slowly disappeared.
Sizzling sounds rang out one after another as strands of silver light appeared around Chu Mu's body like strands of hair. These strands of silver light rapidly coiled around him, slicing through his body before abruptly spreading out and exploding in all directions. Wherever they passed, everything was sliced apart, shattered, and shattered by the silver sword light.
It was like the end of the world. The horrifying sharpness of the sword intent scared a nearby Rank 7 Faux Beast into trembling. It let out a miserable cry and turned around to flee.
The higher the rank of the Faux Beast, the more intelligent it was. A Rank 7 Faux Beast already possessed considerable intelligence and could make simple judgments.
Just the sharpness of the sword intent had scared a Rank 7 Faux Beast away. If news of this spread out, it would cause quite a stir.
The silver sword light wreaked havoc within a radius of a few hundred meters. Everything within the range was sliced countless times and shattered into pieces.
Even the ground was left with countless fine scratches. Each of the scratches was more than three inches deep. It was extremely terrifying. The remnant of the sharpness of the sword intent was shocking.
Chu Mu, who was in the center, was unscathed and filled with joy.
"Sword intent has reached Dacheng's level. You have received 20,000 genius points." An ethereal voice rang out.
Entry level sword intent was worth 1,000 genius points. Small success level sword intent was worth 5,000 genius points. Dacheng's sword intent was worth 20,000 genius points. In total, he received 26,000 genius points.
On the Heaven Ascension List, Chu Mu's genius points rapidly increased from 234000 to 254000.
"What!"
"What's going on?"
"Isn't Chu Mu third? How did he get to second place? "
"He actually pushed Qin Aoxian down and took second place …"
The changes on the Heaven Ascension List immediately shocked countless people. Even many Great Emperors were no exception. The Great Emperors discussed among themselves and guessed which Great Emperor's descendant Chu Mu was. When they found out that he was the tenth God of the Divine Palace, they were even more shocked. They thought to themselves that the Divine Palace finally had a genius comparable to the top Great Emperor's descendant.
"Second place … He actually made it to second place …"
The elders of the Main Divine Palace were shocked. Their beards twitched and their faces were filled with excitement like children.
They were not excited at all. Third place was their biggest wish. They did not even dare to think about getting second place.
But now, Chu Mu had actually made it to second place.
"Chu Mu …" Somewhere in the Tianqing Domain, Qin Aoxian, who was killing a Rank 7 Elite Void Beast with her sword, suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were shockingly sharp like cold lightning.
She had long hair and a cold aura. She was like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.
She lived up to her name of Aoxian.
Her voice was as indifferent as water.
"Second place … He is quite capable …"
In another place in the Tianqing Domain, a young man, whose hair was tied up with a green grass, muttered to himself. When he opened and closed his eyes, there seemed to be a sense of space disorder. Even the air around him seemed to be distorted and light refracted.
He was Gu Luankong, who was ranked first on the Heaven Ascension List and had never been shaken.
…
"Second place …" Chu Mu smiled. He was not surprised. In fact, when he decided to challenge Dacheng, he had a premonition that he would be ranked second.
Because he had obtained 20,000 Genius Points in one go, it was natural for him to surpass Qin Aoxian. However, compared to Gu Luankong, there was still a gap.
The further one progressed, the more Genius Points one would obtain for any comprehension would be calculated in tens of thousands. Therefore, the gap between them could also be calculated in tens of thousands. However, as long as one succeeded in comprehending, one would be able to quickly close the gap and even surpass the gap.
Now, Chu Mu's Genius Points had surpassed Qin Aoxian's by 11,000 points.
It seemed like a lot, but it was actually very little.
"Let's go and test the power of Dacheng's Sword Essence," Chu Mu muttered to himself. Holding the Red Blood Sword, he went to look for Void Beasts.
The power of Dacheng's Sword Essence was even more powerful. It was several times more powerful than the Small Success Sword Essence. Just by adding Sword Essence to the Red Blood Sword, it could easily break the defense of an ordinary Rank Seven Void Beast and cause significant damage.
Without using any sword techniques, as long as Dacheng's Sword Essence, Gold Force and Inner Qi were added, he could instantly kill an ordinary Rank Seven Void Beast.
Dacheng's Sword Essence had greatly increased Chu Mu's strength.
There was no strongest. There was only stronger.
Qin Aoxian looked cold, but she was a very competitive person. She wanted to surpass Gu Luankong and did not care about the other geniuses. However, she did not expect that she would be surpassed by Chu Mu.
Since she was surpassed, she naturally wanted to surpass him. With her talent, she could do it.
The rankings on the Heaven Ascension Leaderboard changed once again. Qin Ao 'xian's talent points increased by 16,000 points. She had finally created a Grade 5 movement technique with her own accumulation.
Suddenly, Chu Mu's ranking was overtaken. He fell back to third place. There was a difference of 5,000 points between him and Qin Aoxian.
Chu Mu was not worried about falling back to third place. He did not care about third place or second place. He also had no intention of fighting for it. However, it was necessary for him to increase his strength.
After many battles, enlightenment and accumulation, his Sword Essence had reached the level of Dacheng's. His understanding of swords and sword techniques had deepened. Chu Mu created a new sword technique.
This new sword technique was also a Rank Four Sword Technique. Chu Mu had comprehended the scene of countless leaves flying away after a strong wind blew past. He combined it with his own comprehension and created it. He named it Rustling Fallen Leaves.
Metal gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood. The power of metal, water and wood caused the power of wood to become extremely strong. Adding the power of vibration, it caused every leaf formed by the power of wood to vibrate. The edge of the leaf was incomparably sharp, cutting through everything. Its power was extremely terrifying.
In fact, Chu Mu wanted to integrate more Force of Heaven and Earth. However, it was difficult. The more he integrated, the harder it was to control. He still felt that he was missing some trees. It was difficult to achieve a breakthrough.
At this point, Chu Mu's Genius Points were 262,000 points. Previously, he was 5,000 points behind Qin Aoxian. Now, he had surpassed her and was 3,000 points more than her.
Seeing that not long after she took back second place, Chu Mu once again surpassed her and took second place, Qin Aoxian's expression grew colder and colder. The coldness on her body seemed to be turning into ice.
The flow of time in the Azure Sky Illusionary World was different from the outside world. What happened in a few days would happen in a short period of time in the outside world.
Therefore, when Chu Mu first took second place, it caused a commotion. Very soon, Qin Aoxian overtook Chu Mu again. Many people who supported Qin Aoxian heaved a sigh of relief. They were overjoyed. However, the elders of the Main Divine Hall felt a trace of disappointment for no reason.
Their thoughts were that they would be satisfied if they just stuck at third place. They didn't dare to imagine a higher ranking. However, when Chu Mu did it and placed second, they felt happy. They even had the thought of Chu Mu staying at second place forever.
Now that they saw Chu Mu's ranking drop from second to third, this was their greatest hope from the start. Yet, they still felt disappointed. Humans' desires were like this. They could never truly be satisfied.
Before long, Chu Mu's Genius Points increased again. He caught up again and overtook Qin Aoxian again. He took second place, which made the elders even happier.
This feeling of ups and downs was indescribable.
"Looks like I have to work harder too …" The changes in Chu Mu and Qin Aoxian's Genius Points were quickly catching up with Gu Luankong. Gu Luankong finally took it seriously.
"Chu Mu …" Qin Aoxian frowned slightly. She felt that Chu Mu was determined to go all out against her. Since that was the case, she would surpass him completely.
