In the depths of the cave on the fourth level, the giant golden cocoon pulsed again and again. Every time it pulsed, it would absorb the surrounding energy. However, under the efforts of the seven kings, the amount of energy it absorbed was greatly reduced. However, the seven kings could only stop a portion of it. They could not stop it completely. The Gold Sinners in the giant golden cocoon would appear sooner or later.
Now, they could only place a part of their hope on Chu Mu. They hoped that he could have the strength of a King in three years. Only then would they have a chance to join forces and kill the powerful Gold Sinners.
…
In the Essence Blood Pool in the depths of the Slaughtering Blood Hall, Chu Mu closed his eyes and immersed himself in the Essence Blood Pool, cultivating wholeheartedly.
In the past three years, he had put aside the cultivation of Origin Power and swordsmanship. He had spent all his time on the cultivation of his Saint Body. The Essence Blood Pool was full of vigor and boundless. Chu Mu's Saint Body had broken through from the late stage of Level Eight to the peak of Level Eight. Now, he was continuously increasing his strength, preparing to break through to Level Nine.
The influence of the Sword Demon Sect on the five cities gradually weakened with the passage of time.
However, the Sword Demon Sect had caused great damage. More than a dozen camps had been destroyed, and some forces in the five cities had been annihilated. Such a loss could not be recovered in a short period of time.
At this time, the five cities and the surrounding camps seemed to have a thousand things to do.
The young geniuses were all stimulated and went into seclusion to cultivate, striving to improve their cultivation. Perhaps because of the pressure from the outside world, their seclusion was quite effective.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, more than two years had passed.
In the Essence Blood Pool, Chu Mu's aura was constantly pulsing, causing the blood in the Essence Blood Pool to ripple.
"Break!"
A low roar, yet it was like rolling thunder that shook the inside and outside of his body. His Qi and blood surged like a great river that endlessly battered his body. It was also like a huge wave that came wave after wave. Waves of roars constantly came out from Chu Mu's body. The aura on his body grew stronger and stronger. A burning heat constantly spread out from his body, as if there was a raging fire burning in his body.
His Qi and blood were of the Yang attribute. His Qi and blood were vigorous and full of Yang energy.
In fact, when one's Qi and blood reached a certain level, the power of Qi and blood that was emitted would produce a terrifyingly high temperature. It could easily melt steel into molten iron and turn hardwood into charcoal.
As the temperature of Chu Mu's Qi and blood continued to rise, the temperature of the Blood Essence Pool that he was in contact with also rose along with it. Wisps of white aura filled the air, spiraling upwards and steaming.
The impact of Qi and Blood became more and more intense. In one go, they attacked, attacked, attacked, and attacked.
Chu Mu's skin turned red, expanding and contracting. As it continued to surge, it rapidly absorbed the Blood Qi from the Essence Blood Pool to replenish itself. It accumulated strength and launched attacks again and again.
The shackles between the peak of Grade Eight and Grade Nine were finally broken under Chu Mu's repeated attacks. Suddenly, the Qi and blood in his body produced an extremely powerful suction force, instantly absorbing the majestic Blood Qi from the Essence Blood Pool around him. It was like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, causing the color of the Essence Blood Pool to fade in an instant. However, the power at the bottom of the Essence Blood Pool continued to replenish itself, and the color of the Essence Blood Pool quickly returned to its original state.
Waves of powerful force rushed through his body. Chu Mu felt as if he could pick the stars and the moon with a raise of his hand. He could shatter mountains and crack the earth with one punch.
This was the power of an initial Grade Nine Sacred Body. It was extremely powerful.
With the breakthrough of the Sacred Body, the vitality in his body also increased. Light injuries could be healed instantly, and serious injuries could be healed in just a few breaths. Even broken limbs could be regrown in a short period of time, just like before.
The power of the Sacred Body has increased by many times. There are still a few months left. It's impossible to raise the Sacred Body to the middle Grade Nine Sacred Body. However, I can consolidate it and convert the increased power into strength, Chu Mu thought.
He continued to cultivate, familiarizing himself with the increased power.
This was not a short period of improvement from taking elixirs. It was an improvement accumulated over more than two years. Hence, it would be easier to master it.
…
"Little friend Chu, time's up. It's time to come out."
A voice rang out above the Essence Blood Pool and entered Chu Mu's ears. It was the Blood Slaughtering King's voice.
Chu Mu leaped out of the Essence Blood Pool. A long robe immediately appeared on his body. When he landed, the door outside the Essence Blood Pool opened. Chu Mu's body flashed and he left the Essence Blood Pool.
"Not bad. Although your Yuan Qi cultivation is still at the late Grade Nine Eternal Celestial Layer, it's much more refined than three years ago. In a few more years, you will definitely reach the peak." The Blood Slaughtering King's eyes flickered. He looked deeply at Chu Mu and nodded in admiration. "Your Sacred Body has also reached the early Grade Nine Eternal Celestial Layer and has stabilized. The current you may have the strength of a King."
"I can feel that my strength has increased a lot, but I don't know what level it has reached," Chu Mu said.
"You'll know when we fight." The Blood Slaughtering King laughed. Immediately, he attacked. His palm was like a sword. He raised it and slashed down. It was a very simple movement, but a blood-red Sword Light appeared instantly. The Sword Light was extremely condensed, as if it was made of metal.
This slash did not have a huge momentum. All the power was restrained, and it did not affect the surroundings at all. However, Chu Mu could feel the terrifying power contained in the blood-red Sword Light. It was enough to instantly kill an expert at the peak of the Bright Yang Celestial Layer. Even the Sword Devil Feng Wuyi could not resist it when he used all his strength.
In other words, the Blood Slaughtering King's slash could also instantly kill Chu Mu, who was at the late Grade Nine Eternal Celestial Layer and had a late Grade Eight Eternal Celestial Layer.
This attack had completely surpassed the Bright Yang Celestial Layer and the so-called half-King-level.
If it was in the past, Chu Mu would have felt that he could not resist. Just the aura alone was enough to suppress him. However, at this moment, he only felt some pressure.
He opened his right hand and clenched it tightly. The Blaze Spiritual Sword appeared. He raised it up, and it turned into a fierce fiery-red Sword Light. It burned with spiritual flames and attacked the blood-red Sword Light.
They collided and resisted. Both sides were worn down and finally collapsed.
"That attack just now was equivalent to the attack of an exceptional First Refinement expert. If you can resist it, it means that your current strength has already reached the level of an exceptional First Refinement expert." The Blood Slaughtering King said.
Chu Mu's current realm was only the Saint Rank. However, his strength had far surpassed the Saint Rank. In one leap, he had reached a level where he could contend against absolute experts. Even if he had just stepped into the first refinement absolute expert level, he was still considered an absolute expert's strength.
"It's a pity. If you had more time, you could raise your Yuan Qi cultivation to the extreme, and then raise your Sage Body cultivation to the extreme. Your strength would definitely be stronger than an exceptional First Refinement expert. You might even reach the level of an exceptional Second Refinement expert." The Blood Slaughtering King said.
Hearing the Blood Slaughtering King's words, Chu Mu was extremely excited.
His purpose in entering the Land of Exile was to avoid the numerous experts in the Deep Blue World and raise his strength as much as possible. It would be best if he could reach the level where he could contend with an exceptional expert. However, Chu Mu wasn't sure if he could do it because it was too difficult.
Since ancient times, there had never been anyone who had the strength of an exceptional expert before reaching the level of an exceptional expert. That was an unprecedented challenge.
He had worked hard, and now he had finally achieved it. Although he had only just reached the level of a peerless expert, he had really done it. Moreover, his cultivation had not reached the pinnacle of the Saint level, and there was still room for improvement. Moreover, his Sword Will had not been included in his current strength.
In other words, when Chu Mu could use his sword intent and his Yuan Qi and Sage Body cultivation reached the extreme of the Saint Realm, he would at least have the strength of an exceptional Second Refinement expert.
"Young friend Chu, since your strength has reached the King Realm, follow me." The Blood Slaughtering King said, "We can talk about other issues on the way."
"Okay." Chu Mu knew that the matter was urgent and couldn't be delayed. He immediately responded.
Under the Blood Slaughtering King's lead, the two quickly left the Blood Slaughtering Manor and Blood Slaughtering City.
Now that Chu Mu's strength had increased, his speed had also increased. Although he still couldn't compare to the Blood Slaughtering King, he was already far ahead of other Bright Yang Realm experts.
The combination of Yuan Qi and Sage Body was a perfect combination of power. It turned into speed that propelled Chu Mu forward, allowing him to catch up to the Blood Slaughtering King as much as possible. The Blood Slaughtering King also reduced his speed so that he wouldn't fall too far behind Chu Mu.
"Young friend Chu, many years ago, the seven of us discovered a Gold Rank Sinner. After chasing it for a while, we followed it into an underground cave. That cave had a total of four floors." The Blood Slaughtering King explained the situation to Chu Mu as he led the way, "The seven of us killed our way into the cave and cleared out all the Sinners. We even killed the Gold Rank Sinners on the fourth floor. However, there was a huge golden cocoon that was nurturing a Gold Rank Sinner. Even with the seven of us working together, we couldn't do anything to the golden cocoon. Not only were we unable to destroy it, the power of our attacks was absorbed by the golden cocoon, accelerating the nurturing of the Gold Rank Sinner."
"Is that Gold Rank Sinner very powerful?" Chu Mu asked.
"Yes. Although it hasn't been nurtured yet, its aura let us know that the Gold Rank Sinner is definitely very powerful. It's much more powerful than the Gold Rank Sinners we've killed." The Blood Slaughtering King said, "Let's put it this way. Among the Gold Rank Sinners we've killed, the strongest one was only at the initial Second Refinement, while the seven of us are at the Second Refinement. However, the Gold Rank Sinner that hasn't been nurtured yet is estimated to be at the Third or Fourth Refinement at the very least. Once it's born, we won't be able to resist it. It'll definitely bring a calamity to the five great cities."
"Seniors, you must have a countermeasure, right?" Chu Mu asked in astonishment.
"Of course," the Blood Slaughtering King replied and explained.
