The hundred-zhang black vortex was like a giant millstone that could crush heaven and earth.
Boundless and vigorous, extreme destruction, and endless growth.
An extremely terrifying suction force spread out from the pitch-black vortex and went straight down.
Five average-sized figures hovered in the air below the black vortex, exuding a majestic aura. Behind them were five giant illusory figures that exuded a frightening aura.
They were the five experts from the five castellan manors, five Bright Moon Sword Saints.
Below them, the five castellan manors' guards also flew up one by one, spreading out in five different directions. The hierarchy was strict and distinct, completely eliminating the possibility of others trying to fish in troubled waters.
Only those with a quota could enter. Without a quota, they could only watch from the outside.
If it was possible, the more people that entered the Black Mystery Realm, the better it would be. However, that was not the case. The resources to raise one's strength inside the Black Mystery Realm were fixed. If too few people entered, they would not be able to make full use of it. If too many people entered, it would not be enough.
The first to enter were the five castellan manors' geniuses, led by Tu Qianjun, Bai Chen, and the other star realm geniuses. They soared into the air and entered the black vortex in the blink of an eye.
Each of the five castellan manors had ten quotas. Following them were the powerful sects that were second only to the five castellan manors. Forces like the Three Sacred Sects and Evil Dragon Hall had fewer quotas, each having eight quotas. Following them were six quotas, four quotas, and finally two quotas.
These people who entered came from various forces. Finally, it was Chu Mu and the other freelance sword cultivators who had obtained ten quotas at the auction. Other than them, secluded geniuses like Zhao Wuji also had the qualifications to enter. Perhaps, they had obtained the quotas through other means.
When Chu Mu and the others flew up and were about to enter the black vortex, an eight or nine star realm mid-level Saint realm expert leaped into the air. Using a mysterious movement technique, he passed through the five castellan manors' guards' blockade at an astonishing speed, catching up to Chu Mu and the others, wanting to enter the black vortex with them.
This person did not have a quota, but wanted to fish in troubled waters to enter the Black Mystery Realm.
"Courting death."
The golden sword radiance was like a blooming lotus, tearing apart the illusory figure.
From the shattered shadow, an even more secretive shadow shot out, and its speed suddenly doubled.
"Destroy!" The second Bright Moon Sword Saint made a move. He flicked his finger, and a streak of fire shot out like a shooting star. It gathered the fiercest flames in the world and followed a mysterious trajectory in the sky. It seemed slow, but it was actually very fast. It hit the shadow that was faster and more hidden.
A small spark instantly turned into a prairie fire. In an instant, the illusory figure was burned. A miserable shriek reverberated in the sky, causing people to tremble in fear.
From the moment the illusory figure appeared to the moment it was burned and disappeared, it took less than two breaths of time. The amazing movement technique surprised Chu Mu and the others.
If it weren't for the Bright Moon Sword Saints guarding the place, that person would have succeeded in fishing in troubled waters.
"Trespassers without a quota. Kill without mercy." The Bright Moon Sword Saint who made a move looked down. His eyes shot out a sharp light, and layers of ripples appeared in the void. It was as if he could burn the void and everything in the world with a single glance.
Such power made some of the people below who wanted to make a move give up on the idea of fishing in troubled waters.
…
Chu Mu jumped into the pitch-black whirlpool. It was as if night had fallen, and he couldn't see anything. He could only feel traces of extremely powerful aura surrounding him.
This aura was cold and tyrannical, and it kept attacking his body.
The world seemed to be spinning, and the chilly wind roared. Flames burned the sky. His body felt like it was in a furnace, and it was being tempered.
It was as if a thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye. His feet landed on the ground, and the scenery in front of him became clear.
The dry land was scorched, and smoke rose into the sky. It was as if an endless volcano was erupting. Black and red colors intertwined in the sky. It was gloomy and oppressive, as if it could collapse at any time. Pitch-Black cracks appeared and disappeared everywhere, and it emitted a despairing terror.
It was like purgatory, and it was like the end of the world.
Chu Mu had imagined the Black Mystery Realm, but he didn't expect it to be so desolate and harsh. It was like a purgatory. It was impossible to fly in this place.
The Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth here was very thin, and the power of Heaven and Earth was very chaotic. Cultivators who didn't have enough comprehension would find it hard to control and display their strength.
However, those who could enter the Black Mystery Realm were either experts or true geniuses. Therefore, the chaos of the power of Heaven and Earth wasn't much of a hindrance to them. The only thing worth noting was that the thin Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth couldn't help them recover their Yuan Qi. They could only rely on elixirs.
Therefore, these people had prepared a large amount of elixirs to recover their Yuan Qi.
In the desolate and harsh environment, the aura of coldness and tyranny intertwined. It rippled in the void, and suddenly became stronger.
"Another damned human has come in."
"Kill, kill them all."
A strange voice sounded. It was a language that was similar to human language, but not human at the same time. Chu Mu could vaguely understand it.
Soon after, numerous figures swiftly flew over from afar and launched fierce attacks.
These figures looked a little like humans. They had a head, a body, and four limbs. They stood like humans and walked on two feet. However, they weren't humans. They had horns on their heads, and in addition to two eyes, there was a third eye between their eyebrows. Their faces were ferocious, and their bodies were covered in thumb-sized scales. Their arms were as thick as their thighs, and they were very long. Their sharp claws seemed to be able to tear through everything.
These monsters were generally more than two meters tall.
There were a total of four of these monsters. After they surrounded Chu Mu, they immediately attacked. Their meter-long arms clawed out fiercely, and the space was torn apart like a piece of cloth, leaving behind cold marks.
Fierce and direct, tragic and tyrannical. A fierce aura spread out and attacked.
Such an attack was so sudden and so fast that an ordinary seven-star Saint expert couldn't dodge it and would be torn apart immediately.
However, Chu Mu was no ordinary seven-star Saint.
His eyes flashed. He didn't even draw his sword. Instead, he put his fingers together and slashed out.
It seemed slow, but it was incomparably fast. It was a sharp contrast to the claws of his opponents. The intersection of speed and slowness created a gap.
A slight puffing sound was heard, and a ray of sword light swept through the air, turning into a ring that cut through the air. Immediately, it changed from tough to soft, like four threads intertwining with each other, layer by layer. The bodies of the four monsters trembled, and their movements suddenly stopped. No matter how hard they tried, they could not move.
Sword Qi Threads!
This was an extremely brilliant technique. It was a new technique that Chu Mu had grasped after his sword mastery had continuously increased. He could activate his own sword origin and transform it into sword aura. Then, he could transform the incomparably sharp sword aura into a thread.
After the sword-like threads entangled the four monsters, Chu Mu studied them carefully.
He knew that these monsters had a name. They were called the Ominous Demons of the Mystic Realm.
The Ominous Demons of the Mystic Realm were the only living creatures in the Black Mystic Realm. They were also the only intelligent creatures. Their language was similar to human language, and it was hard to understand.
Trapped by Chu Mu's sword Qi, the four Ominous Demons suddenly screamed and struggled. They exerted force and twisted their bodies, but they couldn't do anything.
Chu Mu sized up the four Ominous Demons. The horns on their foreheads were black, indicating that they were the lowest level of Ominous Demons.
The Ominous Demons of the Mystic Realm were divided into Iron-Horned Ominous Demons, Copper-Horned Ominous Demons, and Silver-Horned Ominous Demons. Above them were the Golden-Horned Ominous Demons.
The strength of an Iron-Horned Ominous Demon was about the level of a Seven-Star Saint, and so on. A Copper-Horned Ominous Demon was equivalent to an Eight-Star Saint, a Silver-Horned Ominous Demon was equivalent to a Nine-Star Saint, and a Golden-Horned Ominous Demon was equivalent to a legend.
However, the ferocious demons were even more powerful than regular human Sword Saints. This was because the ferocious demons had a special characteristic, which was that they possessed extremely terrifying physical strength, great strength, and extraordinary speed. Their scales possessed astonishing defensive abilities, and their self-healing abilities were shocking as well. Ordinary injuries could be healed in an extremely short amount of time.
Lastly, the Ominous Demons of the Mystic Realm were very tenacious. They were very difficult to kill. One had to break their core to truly kill them.
However, the core of the Ominous Demons was not fixed in one place. It could move around and was difficult to control.
The power of Spiritual Energy covered the four Ominous Demons and carefully observed them. Although Chu Mu had some understanding before entering, what he heard was not as real as what he saw with his own eyes.
Chu Mu's God's Soul power covered the four Iron Horn Fierce Demons and seeped into their bodies to sense carefully. At this moment, the four Iron Horn Fierce Demons suddenly gave up struggling. The third eye between their eyebrows suddenly lit up and shot out beams of black iron light. They were as sharp as swords and as fast as lightning, piercing through the void.
Chu Mu's footsteps shifted, as if he had already been prepared. He calmly dodged the four black iron beams. With a thought, a thread-like sword aura broke through the tough scales of the fierce demons and cut into their bodies. The pain caused the four fierce demons to instantly roar out.
In an instant, the four Ominous Demons were cut into dozens of pieces by Chu Mu's Sword Qi and fell to the ground.
No blood flowed out. Each piece of flesh was trembling, slowly approaching each other and piecing themselves together.
"What an amazing vitality!" Chu Mu couldn't help but be stunned. According to the current situation, these four Ominous Demons that had been cut into dozens of pieces would be able to be pieced back together and resurrected in less than a quarter of an hour.
However, Chu Mu didn't give them the chance. Under the Sword Qi, he directly pierced through their exposed cores. Suddenly, an invisible force spread out from their cores.
