With a buzzing sound, the silver luster flowed like water ripples, and like a gust of wind, an astonishing sharpness filled the surroundings, cutting the dark aura into pieces.
Xia Zhenkong's eyes were full of surprise, staring at the silver luster on the sword in his hand, and could not help laughing.
"I've been stuck at the bottleneck of level seven for fifteen years, and didn't know when I would be able to break through. I didn't expect that under your guidance today, I would finally break through the bottleneck and reach level eight sword force." Xia Zhenkong was overjoyed.
It was very difficult to increase sword force by one level. Xia Zhenkong had reached the Eternal Realm more than two hundred years ago, and only then did he comprehend sword force. After that, he continued to comprehend and cultivate, and as time passed, he improved his sword force level by level. It was not until fifteen years ago that he raised his sword force to level seven. He had been working hard for more than ten years, but the progress was slow, and he did not know when he would be able to make another breakthrough.
Today, when he discussed sword techniques with Chu Mu, Chu Mu did not keep it to himself. Xia Zhenkong received a lot of pointers, and many things that he did not understand before were suddenly enlightened. His sword force suddenly broke through the bottleneck and reached level eight.
Level seven sword force increased by eight times, and level eight sword force increased by nine times. The difference of one time was a great improvement in strength.
"Brother, you are really my lucky star. Meeting you not only saved my life, but also helped me make a breakthrough in sword force." Xia Zhenkong sighed. He suddenly felt that his previous thoughts and decisions were very correct and wise.
"I also benefited a lot from talking with Brother Xia, and I believe Su Yuexi is the same," Chu Mu said.
If they continued, it would be meaningless to flatter each other, and everyone stopped.
After the breakthrough in sword force, Xia Zhenkong's strength had increased further, and he was more confident in walking in the Black Demon Pool.
When the three of them joined forces, their strength was indeed terrifying. If the team led by the Black Demon commander encountered them, the result would be death.
While the Black Demon Race was looking for the Human Race to kill, they were also being slaughtered by Chu Mu and the other two. The sharp decline in the number of experts was definitely a huge loss for the Black Demon Race.
The spatial rings of the dead Black Demon Clan members naturally became the spoils of war for Chu Mu and the other two.
After killing another group of Black Devil Clan members, they collected the spoils of war. Chu Mu even took the interspatial ring of one of the corpses. Most likely, this person had just been killed by the Black Devil Clan when Chu Mu and the others arrived and killed the Black Devil Clan members.
After obtaining this Death Human's spatial ring, for some reason, Chu Mu's heart trembled. He had a strange feeling. Good fortune had come to him. He seeped his Divine Remembrance into the spatial ring to take a look and was instantly stunned.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Xia Zhenkong asked hurriedly. Su Yuexi also looked concerned.
With a thought, something appeared in Chu Mu's hand. As soon as it appeared, Xia Zhenkong and Su Yuexi's eyes widened.
A deep blue light spread out in waves. Amidst the dark aura, it was resplendent as if it stood aloof from the world.
"Deep Blue … Divine Pearl …" Xia Zhenkong was tongue-tied.
"It is indeed the Deep Blue Divine Pearl." Chu Mu also sighed heavily. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Entering the Black Demon Abyss, fighting many battles, and even experiencing life and death, wasn't it all for a Deep Blue Divine Pearl?
However, he did not expect to find a Deep Blue Divine Pearl in the spatial ring of a dead person.
What was this called?
He had searched high and low for it, only to find it by chance without any effort?
Was it really effortless? Then what about the many battles and life-and-death experiences?
However, to say that it took a lot of effort was not the case. Except for that life-and-death experience, all the other battles were basically a complete victory.
In any case, the Deep Blue Divine Pearl was finally in his hands. Looking at it, there were five golden formations. It was the fifth divine pearl.
However, Chu Mu did not know whether this Deep Blue Divine Pearl was the one from the previous auction. Thinking about it, it most likely was. There were a total of eighteen Deep Blue Divine Pearls. He now had two, and the powerful and mysterious organization that Xia Zhenkong mentioned, the Imperial Court, probably also had a few.
"Brother, congratulations on obtaining a Deep Blue Divine Pearl, but you must hide it well. Don't let others know, otherwise it will bring endless trouble," Xia Zhenkong said solemnly.
The Imperial Court had also sent people into the Black Demon Abyss, but they did not encounter Chu Mu and the others.
"I know," Chu Mu said. He was not stupid. Did he have to spread the news that he had obtained a Deep Blue Divine Pearl?
In addition to the fifth divine pearl, Chu Mu also had a third divine pearl, which he did not let Xia Zhenkong know about.
He put away the fifth divine pearl, seemingly into the space ring, but in fact into a small portable space. Except for Chu Mu, no one else noticed.
"According to the information I know, the Deep Blue Divine Pearl at the auction was the fifth divine pearl, which is the one that you obtained," Xia Zhenkong said. "Of course, I can't be one hundred percent sure that it's the same one."
"Whether it is or not, the purpose of this trip to the Black Demon Abyss has been achieved," Chu Mu said. "Why don't we leave now?"
Su Yuexi and Xia Zhenkong had no objections. They decided to leave the Black Demon Abyss.
… …
It was unknown whether it was too good or bad, but when they were not leaving the Black Demon Abyss, the most powerful person they encountered was the Black Demon Commander. Now that they were leaving the Black Demon Abyss, they encountered one of the eight kings of the Black Demon Race — — the Power Demon King.
The Power Demon King led a group of subordinates and carried a thick black iron rod on his shoulder.
The Power Demon King was almost three meters tall and was the strongest and tallest of the eight Demon Kings. He had a bald head, a single horn, and bull-like eyes. He looked ferocious, and the armor he wore was special. It did not completely cover his body, and his arms were exposed.
His dark skin glowed with a metallic luster, as if he was cast from steel. His muscles bulged, and every movement he made contained a terrifying power.
His entire person was like an iron tower. His tyrannical body and terrifying blood and qi fluctuations caused the air around him to be constantly suppressed and dispersed, forming faint ripples.
The black iron rod he carried on his shoulder was as thick as a bowl. It was dark in color and covered with strange patterns. If one looked at it a few more times, they would feel dizzy.
There were bulges on both ends of the black iron rod. If one was hit by it, they would instantly turn into minced meat.
The Power Demon King was sitting on a huge black bull, a Black Demon Beast. It was as strong as a small hill, and a group of high-level Black Demons followed behind it. There were no commanders, and the highest was an eighth-grade Black Demon General, while the lowest was a sixth-grade Black Demon Warrior.
When the Power Demon King saw Chu Mu, his bull eyes widened and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. Anger rose from his strong body like flames and burned fiercely.
"Damned human, die!" There was a thunderous roar that shattered the sky. The Power Demon King suddenly exerted his strength and jumped up from the back of the giant bull. He held the black iron rod with both hands and smashed it down.
Above Chu Mu, the black iron rod was low and oppressive. A terrifying aura poured down, as though the sky was collapsing and it was about to smash him into pieces.
He was indeed one of the eight Demon Kings of the Black Demon Tribe. He had such a terrifying aura the moment he attacked. Even though Chu Mu could see the trajectory of the attack with his Mind Sword, the black iron rod that came down carried a terrifying aura. It was as though the surrounding air had been sucked dry, and the air under the rod was heavily compressed, making it as hard as steel. It was an obvious suppression on Chu Mu.
His body felt as though it was bound and he could not move.
Gap. This was the huge gap in absolute power.
Against a Black Demon Commander, Chu Mu could still kill him within ten strokes. However, against a Black Demon King, he was restrained.
No matter how good one's skills were, it would be difficult to unleash them when the gap in power was too great.
The gap between a Black Demon King and a Black Demon Commander was like the gap between an Immemorial Realm and a Nirvana Realm.
To kill a Black Demon Commander, a Black Demon King only needed a light blow.
The current Chu Mu was not in the same state as before. He could kill the Black Demon Emperor's doppelganger and fight against the eight Black Demon Kings alone.
Even so, Chu Mu would not sit still and wait for his death when faced with a blow from the Power Demon King.
He forcefully increased his power and unleashed it. He slashed with both swords and instantly broke the restraints around him. He retreated rapidly and swung both swords at the same time. Countless Sword Light was like a storm that rumbled toward the Power Demon King in mid-air. However, they were all dispersed by the Power Demon King's rod.
The gap between them was too great.
Su Yuexi attacked with her sword and slashed toward the Power Demon King like a bolt of black lightning. However, there seemed to be a layer of strange force field around the Power Demon King that distorted Su Yuexi's attack. The Sword Light that landed on his body sounded as though it had hit steel. Su Yuexi was sent flying by the rebound force.
Xia Zhenkong attacked with his sword.
As he slashed with his sword, there was a bright light that tore through the darkness. It carried a brilliant heavenly might as it charged toward the Power Demon King. The Power Demon King's expression changed abruptly.
Xia Zhenkong was a Seven Star Sword Saint after all. Even though he was suppressed by the power of the Black Demon Abyss and could only unleash power at the Ninth Heaven of Nirvana Realm, his sword power had reached the eighth level. The power of his sword was amplified by the eighth level sword power by nine times. In addition to his powerful sword skills, his power was still very terrifying.
The current Chu Mu was no match for Xia Zhenkong if he were to fight against him.
As soon as Xia Zhenkong attacked with his sword, the pressure on Chu Mu decreased sharply. He stopped retreating and his power surged. His sword will was highly controlled and gathered into both swords. The eighth level sword power was fully unleashed as both swords attacked.
The other high-level Black Demons also charged over.
"Brother Chu, Sister Su, I'll hold the Power Demon King back. You guys take care of the other Black Demons," Xia Zhenkong said telepathically.
"Okay," Chu Mu replied. He then turned around and joined forces with Su Yuexi to kill the other high-level Black Demons.
Compared to the Power Demon King, these high-level Black Demons were as weak as tofu under Chu Mu's sword. They died under Chu Mu's sword one after another. Su Yuexi also continued to kill them.
This scene made the Power Demon King furious.
