During the Holy Emperor Era, the Undying Holy Emperor was extremely famous. He was one of the top existences among the Holy Emperors. Many people's expressions changed drastically when they heard his name. They didn't want to be his enemy.
Think about it, wouldn't it be a headache to face an undying enemy? Once you became his enemy, you wouldn't be able to kill him. Instead, you would be exhausted to death. How miserable would that be?
Other than the Undying Saint Emperor's Undying Force, he also had other techniques. They were the Undying Saint Emperor's Ten Ultimate Techniques. The Undying Force was ranked first and the Invincible Finger was one of the Ten Ultimate Techniques that the Undying Saint Emperor had mastered.
The first finger of the Invincible Finger was the Earth-Shattering Finger. After cultivating it, one would be able to control the power of the Earth-Shattering Finger. The second finger was the Heaven-Shattering Finger. The third finger contained the quintessence of the Invincible Finger, and was the true killing move of the Invincible Finger. Its power far surpassed the Earth-Shattering Finger and Heaven-Shattering Finger.
The Mortal Annihilation Finger controlled the Mortal Annihilation Finger, which was also the Deathly Stillness Force.
The Deathly Stillness Force wasn't as powerful as the Annihilation Force, but it was on the same level as the Destruction Force. Moreover, the Mortal Annihilation Finger was different from the ordinary Deathly Stillness Force.
The Invincible Finger, Mortal Annihilation Finger, required the user to reverse their vitality and convert it into pure Deathly Stillness Force. It was only half a level lower than the Eternal Qi and the Annihilation Force. Under the Mortal Annihilation Finger, Battle King couldn't maintain his Sovereign Battle Demon Body. Half of his vitality had been consumed. His face was pale, and his hair was as white as snow.
The Mortal Annihilation Finger had consumed half of his vitality and strength.
The Mortal Annihilation Finger was the Mortal Annihilation Finger of Battle King. It was either success or death.
Actually, the Immortal Annihilation Finger had to be combined with the Immortal Annihilation Force to maximize its power. Unfortunately, Battle King hadn't inherited the Immortal Deity Technique of the Undying Holy Emperor.
This finger attack made Chu Mu feel extremely threatened. The Six Daos Sword Styles only lasted for a few breaths of time before they shattered one by one. This was a terrifying finger attack that contained all of Battle King's strength and half of his life force. On the other hand, Chu Mu's Six Daos Sword Styles was nothing more than a normal attack. In terms of strength, there was a huge difference.
However, the Six Daos Sword Style was able to resist the Finger of Mortal Extermination for a few breaths of time, giving Chu Mu enough time.
The Annihilation Spirit Sword was raised high. In the sky, dark clouds rolled and thunder filled the sky. It was as if a thunder dragon was roaring, condensing into one and striking down from the sky.
The lightning illuminated the heaven and earth, illuminating Chu Mu's figure. It was as if he had been standing between the heaven and earth since ancient times, eternally immortal.
As he raised his sword, dazzling lightning radiated from it, giving off a feeling of heavenly judgment.
This sword style was called Great Heavenly Might.
The Battle King never would have thought that his all-out Human Annihilation Finger could easily kill a half step into the fourth refinement expert. Even a true fourth refinement initial stage expert would feel threatened. Yet, Chu Mu used a defensive sword technique to block it.
A few breaths of time was very long for experts.
Perhaps the Finger of Mortal Extermination's power of death was extremely terrifying and almost unrivaled. However, it was only 'almost'. It just so happened that the two powers that Chu Mu grasped, the power of annihilation and the power of eternity, were of a higher level than the power of death. In the history of the Deep Blue World, even during the prosperous Ancient Era, this had never happened before. It was precisely because of this that the Undying Saint Emperor was feared.
Although it had never happened before, it didn't mean that it would never happen again.
Although the difference in the quality of power was covered by the quantity, it could still be resisted for a bit. This bit of time was enough for Chu Mu to counterattack.
"God-Sealing Light!" In order to ensure that his sword would succeed, Chu Mu first shot out the God-Sealing Light and hit Battle King.
Great Heavenly Might Sword Style. The terrifying Sword Light was like the rumbling of the Heavenly Dao, directly hitting Battle King's body. Battle King, who had used up almost all of his strength and lost half of his vitality, was still hit by the God-Sealing Light. He couldn't dodge at all.
With a boom, Battle King's body was hit and instantly shattered. Only his head was left.
It wasn't that the Great Heavenly Might Sword Style wasn't powerful enough, but that Chu Mu had purposely controlled his power. He only destroyed Battle King's body and left his head behind. Even Battle King's primordial spirit wasn't damaged at all. This was because Chu Mu wanted to use a soul-searching technique on Battle King to understand more about the Imperial Court from his memories, especially about the other nine Kings.
Battle King was only one of the ten Kings of the Imperial Court. After killing Battle King, the other nine Kings wouldn't let this matter rest.
Only by knowing one's enemy and oneself could one win a hundred battles.
Reaching out, Chu Mu directly grabbed Battle King's head and sent in an eternal sword intent to suppress Battle King's primordial spirit. Even his consciousness was suppressed. He couldn't explode at all and could only obediently let Chu Mu grab him.
Apart from that, Battle King's interspatial ring also fell into Chu Mu's hands.
"Let's go." Without any hesitation, Chu Mu called Feng Wuhen and the others and quickly left the Imperial Court Divine Mountain.
The Undying Royal Guards were exiled, Battle King was dead, and the Imperial Court Divine Mountain was destroyed. At this moment, there were no other enemies. However, Chu Mu and the others knew that there were nine other Kings in the Imperial Court apart from Battle King. Battle King was already so powerful. If the other nine Kings appeared, Chu Mu and the others wouldn't be a match for them. Leaving was the best choice.
Of course, leaving now was a strategic retreat.
…
"Since Lord Battle King is dead, the other nine Kings should be coming out soon." Zhi Shi, who had been hiding all this time, was shocked. He couldn't be considered a true upper echelon of the Imperial Court, but as a genius proficient in divination, he knew some things.
The ten Kings usually didn't have any contact with each other. However, if one of them died, the other nine would sense it and come out.
However, only Battle King's body was destroyed. His soul was still there and he hadn't completely died. Therefore, the other nine Kings didn't know about it. Zhi Shi also didn't know about it.
…
Apart from Chu Mu and the others and Zhi Shi, no one else knew about what happened in the Imperial Court Divine Mountain. However, this was only temporary because the seal of the Imperial Court Divine Mountain had been destroyed long ago. The Imperial Court Divine Mountain was directly exposed. Sooner or later, people would find out that this was the ancient and mysterious place of the Imperial Court.
Chu Mu and the others quickly left and returned to their temporary base. They were in a cave on a mountain. It was very hidden and difficult to find.
"Chu Mu, if you kill me, all of you will die as well." The head of Battle King was in Chu Mu's hand. Although it was suppressed by the eternal sword intent and couldn't explode, it could still speak.
"Whether we will die or not, it's not something you should consider." Chu Mu calmly replied, causing Battle King to choke. He didn't know how to refute. After a long time, he finally spoke, "Chu Mu, my strength can only be considered as the seventh out of the ten Kings of the Imperial Court. Once I die, the other nine Kings will immediately sense it and they will know that you killed me. At that time, you won't be able to escape no matter where you go."
"That's my business." Chu Mu said calmly. He wasn't afraid of Battle King's threat at all. It was useless. Even if he used the Undying Saint Emperor to threaten him, the result would be the same.
Because, the war between Chu Mu and the Imperial Court had already reached this stage. He exiled the eighteen Undying Royal Guards, destroyed the palace of the Imperial Court, and even destroyed Battle King's body. The hatred between them was already irreconcilable. Even if he released Battle King now, the result would still be the same. There wouldn't be any change.
Battle King also understood this point. Hence, after saying a few words, he didn't say anything after seeing that Chu Mu wasn't moved at all. However, he had been guessing how Chu Mu would treat him. As long as he didn't kill him, he would be able to escape with his own strength. At that time, he would be able to rebuild his body. There would be a chance for him to rise again.
Only then did he know what kind of fate he was facing.
After adjusting his breathing, Chu Mu's essence, qi, and soul reached their peak. He then began to use the soul-searching secret art.
The Battle King felt as if a knife had been stabbed into his soul, crazily slicing it apart. That kind of pain made him wish he was dead, but he was unable to cry out. His face was pale and twisted, like a ferocious demon.
The pain of the soul was the most unbearable pain. However, he couldn't faint and could only endure it.
Battle King was sure that the pain of having his body destroyed wasn't even a tenth of this pain.
Battle King was enduring inhumane pain. Chu Mu also felt some pain. Of course, compared to Battle King, it was many times worse.
After all, Battle King was an expert who had lived for thousands of years. His experiences were incomparably rich, and his memories were unimaginably vast. Chu Mu's soul-searching secret art wasn't like before, where he only needed to find the location of the Imperial Court's headquarters. He wanted to find more useful things from Battle King's memories. This required Chu Mu to constantly search. The longer he searched, the greater the pressure on his soul.
His soul was different from ordinary people's. It was true that it was stronger than ordinary people's. However, the impact of such a vast amount of memories was extremely painful. His face was pale and slightly twisted.
Feng Wuhen and the others stood to the side, guarding him while feeling worried.
As time passed, Chu Mu's face became paler and paler. His facial muscles twitched subconsciously, and they weren't under Chu Mu's control. An hour passed. Two hours passed. Very quickly, four hours passed. However, Chu Mu still didn't stop. He was obtaining more and more memories from Battle King's soul.
After six hours, Chu Mu couldn't endure any longer. Only then did he stop. However, he still hadn't finished searching Battle King's memories. There was still a portion left. If he continued, Chu Mu's soul wouldn't be able to endure it. At that time, it would definitely bring about negative effects. On the other hand, Battle King was on the verge of death.
