In a quiet and secluded valley, trees and grass grew beside the pool. It was lush and verdant.
The pool was quiet and without ripples. It was like a mirror that reflected the blue sky and white clouds. It was relaxed and carefree.
"This battle is really carefree." Lei Ba laughed loudly. His laughter immediately destroyed the tranquility and spoiled the scenery. However, no one was dissatisfied because they were also excited.
With the six of them, they had fought against over a hundred peerless experts. Such a magnificent feat had never happened before. Most importantly, they had killed almost half of the peerless experts and scared the other half away. Of course, Chu Mu was one of the reasons for this.
"I've never killed anyone from the Celestial Race since I started cultivating. Now that I've killed them, it's no different from us humans." Feng Wuhen smiled.
The Celestial Race was undoubtedly the top race in the Deep Blue World. Even though there weren't many of them, each of them had outstanding talent and were powerful. Moreover, they were extremely domineering. In the Deep Blue World, they almost had a dominating status. Therefore, when the cultivators of the various races encountered the Celestial Race, they wouldn't have any conflicts with them and would usually retreat.
After all, the concept of the Celestial Race being high and mighty had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for countless years.
Even if there were some people who were unwilling to be oppressed by the Celestial Race and rose up to resist, the result was that they were killed by the Celestial Race. Over time, for the sake of their own lives, no one resisted.
Chu Mu wasn't a native of the Deep Blue World. Moreover, his sword dao was incomparably firm. Anyone who tried to stop him would be cut apart by the sword in his hand. Therefore, no matter what race they were, no matter what background they had, as long as they wanted to kill him, they were all enemies. Enemies had to die.
If the Celestial Race was the heavens, he would break the heavens with his sword.
"The Celestial Race has lost eight Forbidden Guards in one go. With their domineering nature, they will definitely not let this matter rest. Perhaps, they will mobilize their full strength." Kong Liu said. Although he was happy, he was also a little solemn. After all, the Celestial Race was an extremely powerful race. Even in the era when the Saint Emperor didn't appear, the Celestial Race's experts were still the strongest in the Deep Blue World.
"Ever since the Celestial Race's people died under my sword, the Celestial Race has never had the intention of letting this matter rest." Chu Mu said indifferently. This was not the first time he had been chased by the Tian Clan. Between him and the Tian Clan, there was already an irreconcilable grudge.
"Among the Celestial Races, there is no lack of Third Refinement peerless and Fourth Refinement peerless. There are even Holy Venerates, more than one." Xia Yongxun said with a solemn expression, "With the death of the eight second-refined Divine Guards, the Celestials will definitely send out even stronger Divine Guards. Our current strength is still insufficient."
After the trip to the Ice Secret Domain, everyone's strength had obviously increased. Normally, this kind of improvement would be worth celebrating, but now, there were too many strong enemies, and they were even stronger than them. This kind of improvement was far from enough.
"The third refinement is easier said than done …" Feng Wuhen sighed.
With his strength at the peak of Second Refinement, when he said such words, the emotions in the others' hearts became even more obvious.
Chu Mu was also helpless. His true cultivation was only at the peak of the Saint Realm. If he did not use any secret techniques, his strength could reach the middle stage of the Second Refinement. If he used all his secret techniques, his strength could reach the half-step to the Third Refinement. When he used the Great Heavenly Might Sword Style or the Heavenly Slaughter Earthly Calamity Sword Style, his attack power could barely reach the early stage of the Third Refinement. However, it was still not enough.
In the end, his own cultivation was still too low. If he could truly reach the level of a peerless expert, he would be even stronger after using his secret techniques. It would not be a problem for him to fight against a Third Refinement peerless expert.
However, there was no other way. He chose the Path of True Intent, and not the Laws. Chu Mu did not regret this.
"Apart from the Celestial Race, the Imperial Court is also a variable," Chu Mu said. "The four experts of the Imperial Court are very strange. They cannot be killed."
"Perhaps that is the secret power of the Imperial Court," Xia Yongxun said.
"Strength!" Lei Ba clenched his fists and said in anger. The strong Imperial Court and the even stronger Celestial Race would definitely make one feel despair when facing such a huge force.
"Brothers, I am unable to help you break through, but I have a secret technique here. If you cultivate it, after using it, you should be able to increase your strength by several times." Chu Mu said. "I obtained this secret technique from an enemy. It is called Blood Hell Burning Heaven. It burns one's own essence blood in exchange for strength."
"That's good." Hearing that it was a secret technique obtained from killing an enemy, they did not feel any burden in their hearts. After all, some secret techniques were passed down by the sect and could not be taught to outsiders.
Chu Mu taught the five of them the Blood Hell Burning Heaven.
"Normally, don't burn more than 30% of your essence blood." After Chu Mu finished, he said, "If you burn more than 30%, it might affect your foundation."
"Brothers, after burning your essence blood, you need to replenish it. I have a secret technique that cannot increase your strength, but it can refine the blood of spirit beasts into Essence Blood Pills to replenish your own." Chu Mu said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and hunt spirit beasts."
Everyone left the valley and entered the mountain range to hunt spirit beasts for Chu Mu to refine into Essence Blood Pills.
….
"There are 240 Essence Blood Pills. Each of us will split 40, so it should be enough."
With the six of them working together, and since they were specifically dealing with Nine Star Saint Realm spirit beasts, it was really simple. Very quickly, they obtained over 200 Essence Blood Pills.
With enough Essence Blood Pills, everyone tried to use the Blood Hell Burning Heaven secret technique. After all, the Blood Hell Burning Heaven secret technique burned one's essence blood to increase their strength. The extent of the increase was closely related to one's essence blood.
Sun Jin was a Saint Body Dao practitioner and had evolved into a Spiritual Body. His essence blood was very powerful. After burning 30% of his essence blood, his strength increased tenfold. Chu Mu also cultivated the Saint Body Dao. Although he had not evolved into a Spiritual Body, he had reached the peak of the Saint Body Dao. All the blood in his body had been converted into essence blood, and he was very powerful. After burning 30% of his essence blood, his strength could increase by eight times.
Lei Ba and the others tried to use the Blood Hell Burning Heaven one by one. After burning 30% of their essence blood, their strength increased by about five times. After all, they were not Saint Body Dao practitioners. Each of their Saint Bodies was only at the sixth or seventh grade. It was normal that the increase was not as good as Chu Mu's.
However, with their strength, after using the Blood Hell Burning Heaven, their strength increased by five times. It was a very obvious increase.
"If I use the Blood Hell Burning Heaven, I can fight against a Half-step Third Refinement cultivator." Feng Wuhen said, "However, before we know the secret power of the Imperial Court, I feel that it is not appropriate to kill our way into the Imperial Court."
Their strength had increased, but in the end, they were still not strong enough. They could not fight against an ancient and powerful force like the Imperial Court.
"It is difficult to increase one's strength overnight." Kong Liu said, "Fighting against the Imperial Court is not something that can be done overnight. We have to hide ourselves and slowly develop and become stronger."
"That is the only way."
"You all have no chance." A cold and overbearing voice seemed to descend from the sky. Then, an extremely terrifying aura pressed down like an invisible ancient divine mountain.
Everyone felt their vision darken. The terrifying aura pressed down as if the sky was collapsing. It was unparalleled, as if the sky was about to be destroyed.
Wang Sun, who had the lowest cultivation, trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale and his aura was weak. Lei Ba and Kong Liu were also trembling. They were only slightly slower than Wang Sun. They spat out blood and their faces were pale.
Xia Yongxun and Feng Wuhen were very strong. However, under this sudden and terrifying aura, they could not resist it. Their bodies swayed and they groaned. Blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. Their faces were pale and their auras weakened.
Only Chu Mu was able to forcibly resist the terrifying aura descending from the sky. Even so, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Among the six of them, if he did not use a secret technique, Chu Mu's strength could only be considered at the intermediate level of the Second Refinement, which was the same as Wang Sun. However, his Spiritual Will was stronger than Feng Wuhen's and Half-step Third Refinement. Even compared to an ordinary beginner level of the Third Refinement, it was comparable.
Therefore, when he was suppressed by this sudden and terrifying aura, he felt his Spiritual World tremble. However, he relied on his incomparably strong Spiritual Will to resist it. Moreover, with the Divine Sealing Compass in his Spiritual World, it was more than ten times more stable. This allowed Chu Mu to completely resist the impact of this terrifying aura.
"Oh, you can actually withstand an attack from my aura. You are indeed a rare monster. You cannot be left alive." That incomparably tyrannical voice rang out once again, descending from the sky. Following that, that aura grew even more powerful. Furthermore, it contained an astonishing will, a terrifying will that was unparalleled in a hundred battles, a will that could break through the heavens and earth. That was battle intent.
The will that was supported by the will to fight suddenly increased. Feng Wuhen and Xia Yongxun were unable to resist at all. They spat out blood and fell to the ground.
The others were unable to resist and directly fainted.
Chu Mu's body trembled. It was as if a giant hammer had struck his Spiritual World. His entire Spiritual World was in turmoil and was about to shatter. The patterns on the Divine Sealing Compass immediately emitted a light and quickly spread out. It passed through his meridians and affected the entire Spiritual World. In an instant, it further strengthened the Spiritual World.
As his body swayed, Chu Mu took a step back. His face was a little pale, but he was not injured.
He clenched his hands and a spirit sword appeared in his hand. He directly used a secret technique.
Blood Prison Burns the Heavens!
Sword Domain Change!
Sword God Descends!
Facing such a terrifying enemy, Chu Mu did not dare to hold back at all.
Spirit of Metal, Innate Spirit of Water, and Spirit of Earth!
The three essences of the Power of Heaven and Earth were also stimulated.
The power of the Spirit of Metal was injected into the two swords. The power of the Innate Spirit of Water wandered between the muscles and bones of his body. The power of the Spirit of Earth covered his skin. The combination of the Innate Spirit of Water and the Spirit of Earth, one inside and one outside, gave Chu Mu's body an extremely strong defense. On his body, he was wearing the Blood Shark Armor and the Blood Shark Robe. In total, he had four layers of defense. In addition to his Pinnacle Level Nine Saint Body, he had five layers of defense.
It could be said that from the time he had encountered a strong enemy until now, this was the first time Chu Mu had used all the power he could use.
