"Spirit-burning?" When Chu Mu saw this, he immediately felt that his understanding of the experts in the Sword Sect Spirit Imprint was very shallow. His heart was incomparably shocked.
The increase from the peak of the Eight-Star Saint level to the middle of the Nine-Star Saint level was shocking. It was far better than the first level of the Sword God's Descent secret technique. Even the second level could not be compared to it. It could be said that the increase of the Spirit-burning secret technique was between the second and third level of the Sword God's Descent secret technique.
Without a doubt, this should be a very terrifying secret technique to increase one's strength. The price to pay for it might be very high.
"Using a secret technique to forcefully increase your strength to the middle of the Nine-Star Saint level, you are still no match for me." The one-eyed old man snorted coldly. He had been in the middle of the Nine-Star Saint level for dozens of years. He had mastered his own strength to the extreme. He did not think that he was inferior to other Nine-Star Saint experts. A person who used a secret technique to increase his strength might be comparable to him in terms of strength, but definitely could not be compared to him in terms of application.
Soon, he realized that this idea was wrong.
The Spirit-burning secret technique was used very quickly. In just an instant, Zijian's strength had increased completely. He slashed out with his sword.
The purple-gold sword was domineering and majestic. As the sword slashed down, it collided with the blood-red Sword Light of the Vengeful Spirit Sword and shattered.
They were evenly matched!
"Nothing can change your ending." The one-eyed old man said. His body flashed and turned into a shadow. He quickly approached Zijian and launched an extremely fierce attack with the blood-red sword in his hand.
The one-eyed old man's sword technique was strange and cunning. It was cruel and ruthless. Every strike was fatal. On the other hand, Zijian's sword technique was majestic and domineering. He was like an emperor descending to the world.
Their strength was on the same level, but Zijian's sword technique seemed to be better. Suddenly, the one-eyed old man was suppressed.
It was an unbelievable scene that happened in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned and found it hard to believe.
They originally thought that the one-eyed old man would easily defeat the purple-gold-robed man and then kill Lin Biruo to force Chu Mu out. They did not expect that the one-eyed old man would be suppressed by the purple-gold-robed man who had mysteriously appeared.
With his life at stake, Chu Mu stopped comprehending and stared at the battle between Zi Jian and the one-eyed old man.
With his attainments in the sword, he could tell that Zi Jian's attainments in the sword were indeed superior to the one-eyed old man's. However, it was only by a little, not by much. As a result, she could only slightly suppress the one-eyed old man. It was impossible for her to gain the upper hand, let alone kill him.
He could tell that Zijian's condition was very strange. Under the secret technique of Soul-ignition, her figure seemed to be fading bit by bit.
"Could it be that the price of the Soul Burning secret method is to burn oneself?" Chu Mu suddenly thought of this and was greatly shocked.
It seemed that this was the only explanation that could explain why the Soul Ignition Secret Technique was so powerful.
Once the body was burned to ashes, the body would also disappear and die.
"I need to become stronger." Chu Mu took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Zijian had ignited himself in exchange for a moment of strength to suppress the one-eyed old man. Based on the current situation, he should be able to delay the one-eyed old man for a long time. He had to obtain even more strength during this period of time.
After calming himself down, he began comprehending again.
Perhaps it was because of the pressure from the outside world, but Chu Mu's mind was unprecedentedly focused and clear.
The intense battle between Zi Jian and the one-eyed old man affected the surroundings. The cultivators all retreated. Those who were unable to dodge in time were caught in the shockwaves and died on the spot. They died very unjustly.
Lin Biruo reacted quickly and had already fled far away. The difference in strength was simply too great. She could only do her best to not become a burden.
Zi Jian's sword was domineering and grand. The power that each strike carried was extremely shocking. It would definitely cause the surrounding air to resonate. It was like thousands of people had gathered and were marching in formations under his command to kill the enemy together.
Faced with Zi Jian's sword technique, the one-eyed old man immediately felt like he was going against the world around him. He felt pressured.
This was the sword of an emperor, as well as the way of an emperor.
Fortunately, he had immersed himself in his own strength for several decades. Otherwise, if he were a regular mid-level Nine-star Saint, it was very likely that he would have been defeated by Zi Jian already.
The battle continued. Aside from those who were standing on the altar, everyone else retreated far away. They were at least ten thousand meters away.
They all stared at the two sides of the battle. This was a battle between Nine-star Saints. It was extremely rare to see. It would more or less help their sword techniques and cultivation. They could not miss this opportunity.
If it were any other time, Chu Mu would naturally wholeheartedly watch and comprehend as well. However, at this moment, he had something more important to do.
He had to comprehend the sliver of inspiration that he had obtained from sacrificing the Onyx God sword.
Chu Mu had a feeling that as long as he could completely comprehend that sliver of inspiration, his Way of the Sword would definitely improve qualitatively. Right now, he had to comprehend it completely in the shortest amount of time possible.
The sense of urgency and the danger from the outside world did not cause Chu Mu's mind to become chaotic. Instead, he became even more focused. The effect of his comprehension became even greater and his efficiency increased.
In his mind, sword shadows clashed and replayed scene after scene. It was the process of Chu Mu practicing the sword again and again.
Starting from the sword technique, he gradually progressed to the sword technique. He continued to deepen and comprehend the bottom level.
The level of the sword technique, the level of the Way of the Sword, the realm of the sword technique.
The essence of the sword technique, the essence of the sword, his own pursuit …
His comprehension became deeper and deeper. His train of thought became clearer and clearer. The answer was close at hand, right in front of him.
The one-eyed old man's afterimages circled around and dodged the purple sword. The blood-red longsword slashed down. Instantly, streaks of blood-red sword light pierced through the air like arrows falling from the sky.
The incomparably hard silver ground was instantly broken by this sword. The streaks of blood-red sword shadows pierced into the ground.
He swung the sword with both hands and swept it across in a domineering manner. It was like a thunderbolt, extremely domineering.
Under this domineering move, the streaks of blood-red sword light that shot towards him were directly shattered. The purple-gold sword light cut through the void.
The one-eyed old man's single eye was suffused with a blood-red color. Behind him, a sea of blood appeared. As the waves of the sword fluctuated, the waves surged. In the midst of the surging waves, the purple-gold sword light shattered and dissipated. The sea of blood boiled. A blood-red figure rose from the sea of blood. He held a huge blood-red sword and slashed down from the sky.
The baleful aura was dense. Corpses floated up and down, slaughtering all life.
What a terrifying sword. Could the purple sword block it?
The sword was raised. The purple light was dense and the golden light blazed. As the purple and gold intertwined, the sword instantly expanded and slashed upwards.
The two swords clashed, causing a terrifying storm to wreak havoc in all directions. The one-eyed old man raised his hand and pointed out. Blood-red light shot out, surrounded by vengeful spirits.
"Shatter!" The purple sword glared. Purple-gold light flickered in his eyes. The vengeful spirits dispersed. The blood-red light dimmed and disappeared without a trace.
As the two swords clashed, fine cracks appeared on the incomparably hard ground, spreading out.
The old man used his sword technique with all his might, wanting to defeat and kill his opponent. However, his opponent was extremely powerful and tenacious. For a moment, neither side could do anything to the other, resulting in a stalemate.
"So powerful!"
"How terrifying."
"That Chu Mu actually has such an expert protecting him. How fortunate."
The person they were referring to was the purple sword.
No one would have thought that there would be an expert with the strength of a Nine Star Saint following and protecting him. From the looks of it, it was an expert who obeyed Chu Mu's orders. That was what was even more frightening.
Some geniuses would have powerful followers protecting them. However, the relationship between the two was that of a senior and a junior. However, Chu Mu seemed to have a master-servant relationship.
Chu Mu was the master, and the mysterious expert was the servant. If that was not the case, he would not have appeared only when Lin Biruo was in danger. It must have been Chu Mu who ordered him to act.
However, what was puzzling was how this expert was able to follow beside Chu Mu.
No one had discovered him.
Other than Chu Mu, no one else knew of the purple sword's origins. That was why he felt mysterious and even more fearful.
They were glad that they did not attack Chu Mu, especially that Eight Star Saint. If Chu Mu was in danger, he would definitely provoke the Nine Star Saint expert. He was definitely not an existence that he could fight against.
"No wonder he could take out so many Silver Hearts. He must have come from a very powerful force. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such wealth and a Nine Star Saint expert as his servant to protect him." Someone made a presumptuous guess. Others felt that this was the truth. However, the truth was the opposite. Chu Mu did not come from a powerful force. Everything that he had was obtained through his own efforts. Nothing was obtained without effort.
The fierce battle continued, but it did not affect Chu Mu at all. At this time, Chu Mu had reached the most critical moment.
"A sword can be gorgeous or simple. However, no matter what kind of appearance it has, no matter whether it is decorated or not, it cannot change the fact that a sword is a lethal weapon. It is a weapon to strengthen the body and kill people."
"Whether it is swordsmanship or swordsmanship, it is a way to display. Different methods are used to interpret the sharpness of the sword and to display the sharpness of the sword."
"For a swordsman and sword cultivator, all of their strength exists for the sword in their hand. The sword in their hand exists for the sword cultivator. They are one."
"The sword is the sword. The person is the person. The person controls the sword. The person controls the sword. The person and the sword become one."
"There is a sword in my heart. My heart contains the sword."
"Sword force is the strength of the sword itself."
Thoughts appeared in Chu Mu's mind one after another. They seemed to be unrelated to each other, yet they were inextricably linked.
All of the sword projections transformed into streaks of light that flew toward the center of the formation.
The illusory sword shadow in the center quickly became solid.
"Above strength is will."
"The will of the sword is not sword intent. It is … true intent!"
When the two words' true intent 'appeared in Chu Mu's mind, the wind blew and the clouds surged. The heavens and the earth shook.
An unprecedented, higher level of comprehension emerged, and the pinnacle level-nine sword power in his body also transformed rapidly under this comprehension.
