He had given in three times because Chu Mu had come with sincerity and intended to make an exchange, not to take it by force. But after three times, if the other party was still unwilling to stop, it meant that the other party was not tactful. Chu Mu would fight back.
He was not the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goal, but he was also not a pedantic person who did not know how to be flexible.
However, to deal with Huang Qu, Chu Mu did not need to use all of his strength.
Back then, when Chu Mu bought the information from the Wind Tower, he knew that Huang Qu's strength was at the peak of the initial stage of Second Refining. However, he had the Essence of Earth. Once he used the power of the Essence of Earth, he would definitely be more powerful. Therefore, at that time, even though Chu Mu had the ability to perform a powerful sword move like the Heavenly Slaughter and Earthly Calamity Sword Style, he was not confident that he could defeat Huang Qu.
It was undoubtedly very dangerous to propose a trade when one's strength was insufficient. Today, it had also proven this point. Fortunately, Chu Mu's strength could not be compared to back then.
He grasped the void with his right hand. Under the silver light, the Silver Light Spiritual Sword appeared.
"Let's end the battle as soon as possible so that the power of the Spirit of Earth will not be overused," Chu Mu thought.
Huang Qu used the power of the Spirit of Earth, which would naturally be consumed. The longer the battle, the more power the Spirit of Earth would consume. Once it was overused, even if Chu Mu obtained it, he would not be able to use it immediately. He would have to spend time and energy to cultivate it.
"Sword Realm Change!"
Now Chu Mu could add the power of the Sword Realm to the sword in his hand, increasing its power by seven times.
The strength of the peak of the initial stage of Second Refining had reached the middle stage of Second Refining. Moreover, it was close to the peak. This was already more powerful than Huang Qu when he used the Spirit of Earth.
However, Chu Mu did not intend to stop there.
This was because Huang Qu had grasped the Spirit of Thick Earth. He might even have grasped a secret technique related to the Spirit of Thick Earth. Once he used it, his strength would soar again. He might reach the peak of the middle stage of the Second Refinement or even higher. In that case, the power of the Spirit of Thick Earth would definitely be consumed.
It was fine if he did not attack, but if he did attack, he would quickly finish off his opponent.
"Sword God Descends!"
Chu Mu immediately activated the power of the Sword God's Descent secret technique that had recovered a little bit in his body. The sharpness of the Silver Light Spirit Sword increased tenfold.
All of this happened in an instant. Huang Qu could feel Chu Mu's aura rising from the peak of the initial stage of Second Refinement to the middle stage of Second Refinement. Then, it rose again and reached the peak of the middle stage of Second Refinement. Huang Qu could vaguely feel that Chu Mu was half a step into the advanced stage of Second Refinement. Huang Qu's expression changed drastically. Such strength had already surpassed his own.
Although activating the Spirit of Thick Earth to use the Secret Method would cause damage to the Spirit of Thick Earth and it would take a long time for it to recover, there was no other way at this moment. Huang Qu had to use the Secret Method.
However, just as he activated the power of the Spirit of Thick Earth and was about to use the Secret Method to increase his strength, a silver Sword Light appeared in front of his eyes. It seemed to have no beginning or end. The whole world disappeared. Only the silver Sword Light pierced through, eternal and indestructible.
It was so fast that it surpassed time and space. It also surpassed Huang Qu's reaction and his thoughts. He could only watch as the incomparably bright silver Sword Light pierced between his eyebrows. Then, it broke through all his defenses and pierced into his mind.
Under the explosion of a terrifying power, it raged in his mind and wantonly destroyed his spiritual world. His Primordial Spirit was directly pierced and the consciousness within began to collapse.
"Even if I die, I won't let you get the Spirit of Thick Earth. Moreover, you will die too." Huang Qu's collapsed consciousness erupted with the last of his ruthlessness. He wanted to detonate the Spirit of Thick Earth. This way, not only would Chu Mu not get the Spirit of Thick Earth, but at such a close distance, he would also be affected by the explosion of the Spirit of Thick Earth. Even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
"In your dreams." Chu Mu let out a low roar. The Silver Light Spirit Sword trembled. Under the True Intent of Quake, Huang Qu's consciousness quickly collapsed. Furthermore, his primordial spirit shattered. His entire mental world was unable to withstand the True Intent of Quake's power and shattered into pieces.
Huang Qu's eyes dimmed with the last of his unwillingness. In the end, his consciousness collapsed and he didn't even have the ability to detonate the Spirit of Thick Earth.
He pulled out the sword. With a bang, Huang Qu's body fell back. There was a very smooth sword wound between his eyebrows.
"I wanted to trade with you, but you refused. You had to go to this step." Looking at Huang Qu's body, his dim eyes opened and stared at the sky as if he was saying something. He was filled with unwillingness and regret. Chu Mu couldn't help but whisper.
With a wave of his hand, Huang Qu's interspatial ring flew into Chu Mu's hand.
Soon after, Chu Mu felt an aura move on Huang Qu's body. It was an aura that was as steady and heavy as a mountain. That aura was rapidly condensing from Huang Qu's body and moving downwards.
"The Spirit of Thick Earth!" Chu Mu roared and quickly moved. His powerful aura directly passed through Huang Qu's body and acted on the aura. He immediately imprisoned it. Then he slashed out and cut open Huang Qu's body. However, he didn't hurt the Spirit of Thick Earth at all.
Since the Spirit of Thick Earth was called a spirit, it already had a considerable amount of spirituality. When it was weak, Huang Qu had obtained it and forcibly refined it. After that, Huang Qu had constantly nurtured the Spirit of Thick Earth. The stronger the Spirit of Thick Earth was, the more beneficial it would be to his strength.
Therefore, the Spirit of Thick Earth was much stronger than before. It had more spirituality.
As soon as Huang Qu died, the Spirit of Thick Earth planned to leave his body. As long as it entered Tianzhong Mountain, it would be free. As long as it was careful, it wouldn't be captured in the future.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu had already sensed it and cut off its path.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the Spirit of Thick Earth in his hand.
The Spirit of Thick Earth was a yellowish-brown thing. When he held it in his hand, it was very heavy. Chu Mu felt as if he was holding a mountain. If his Saint Body hadn't reached the pinnacle of Ninth Level and his strength wasn't amazing, he wouldn't have been able to hold it firmly.
It felt good. It seemed soft but was actually very hard. The Spirit of Thick Earth kept struggling in Chu Mu's hand, trying to escape from Chu Mu's grasp. That was impossible.
"I finally got the Essence of Thick Earth." Chu Mu looked at the Spirit of Thick Earth in his hand and sighed. After such a long time, he finally gathered all the treasures needed for the second level of the Sword God's Descent Secret Technique. The most important thing was the eight essences of the power of the world.
"Now, I can cultivate the second level of the Sword God's Descent Secret Technique." Chu Mu thought. He didn't leave, because Tianzhong Mountain would be a good place to cultivate.
The famous experts in Tianzhong Region all knew that there was a powerful peerless expert living in Tianzhong Mountain. He was the number one expert in Tianzhong Region. Tianzhong Region was equivalent to that person's private territory. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't come here at all.
For those ordinary cultivators, Tianzhong Mountain was full of copper mines. The gravity was so great that it was difficult for them to move an inch.
With a sweep of his Spiritual Power, Chu Mu found the Tianzhong Cave where Huang Qu had been cultivating in seclusion. His figure flickered and he appeared outside Tianzhong Cave. He broke the seal, walked in and repaired it.
"The second level of the Sword God's Descent Secret Technique requires eight essences of the power of the world and hundreds of precious materials. I've gathered all of them now." Chu Mu took out all the materials he needed and arranged them in front of him.
"However, the Spirit of Metal can strengthen the sharpness of the sword, the Innate Water Spirit can increase the flexibility of the body, the Spirit of Thick Earth can also increase the defense of the body, and the Origin of Wood can increase the vitality and strengthen the self-healing ability. It's a pity to use all of them. I have to keep some of them."
"The Origin of Wood is strong enough. I only need half of it to cultivate. I don't need all of the Spirit of Metal and the Innate Water Spirit. But it's also very good to cultivate it for a while. The Spirit of Thick Earth is between the Spirit of Metal and the Origin of Wood."
"However, to be on the safe side, I'll take some time to cultivate it."
The Spirit of Metal and the Innate Water Spirit were both controlled by Chu Mu. Then, he also controlled the Spirit of Thick Earth. Suddenly, he had a feeling of compatibility with the Sky Bell Mountain under his feet. The Spirit of Thick Earth was born from the Sky Bell Mountain.
There weren't many other treasures in Huang Qu's Interspatial Ring, and they weren't very valuable. The only thing that Chu Mu cared about was the 300 or so crystals of the law of earth.
Chu Mu simply used all of them to cultivate the Spirit of Thick Earth. It should be known that Huang Qu wouldn't have dared to do this before, because the 300 or so crystals of the law of earth were the wealth that he had accumulated over many years. He would only occasionally feed the Spirit of Thick Earth one.
Chu Mu's actions were definitely generous. The Spirit of Thick Earth was also very excited, constantly absorbing the power of the crystals of the law of earth.
In addition to feeding the Spirit of Thick Earth, Chu Mu also fed the Spirit of Metal and the Innate Water Spirit. Only the Origin of Wood couldn't be fed due to the lack of the corresponding law crystals.
Ten days later, the 300 or so crystals of the law of earth were all absorbed by the Spirit of Thick Earth. The power that Huang Qu had used before not only recovered, but the Spirit of Thick Earth also seemed to have grown a little bigger, and its aura fluctuations were stronger. Similarly, the aura fluctuations of the Spirit of Metal and the Innate Water Spirit were more obvious, and their colors were more vibrant.
"Okay, next, I'll divide the Origin of Wood, the Spirit of Thick Earth, the Spirit of Metal, and the Innate Water Spirit." After dividing, he kept part of them in his body. When he used them, Chu Mu's strength would increase, and he could continue to feed them and make them stronger. The other part could be used to cultivate the second level of the Sword God's Descent Secret Technique, so that Chu Mu could master more powerful secret techniques. When he used them, his strength would reach a higher level.
