Thunder roared. The Sword Light turned into a world-destroying thunderbolt and struck down from the sky. The sword tore through the sky. The pitch-black spatial crack was like the mouth of an ancient monster, swallowing the world.
Under the sword light that looked like it could destroy the world, a charred figure gave off thick white smoke and a burnt smell as it fell like a meteor.
The rumbling sound was like the eruption of a volcano, and the earth was shaking. The charred figure had forcefully broken open the hard ground of the second prison. As the ground shook, countless cracks spread out like spider webs, and the ground within a radius of several thousand meters collapsed. In the center, there was even a bottomless black hole.
A continuous barrage of attacks. Every sword was an attack with full strength. Then, he used the various offensive sword styles he knew, finally ending with the Great Heavenly Might Sword Style. After a series of attacks, Chu Mu felt his strength instantly stagnate. Normally, he would need at least a few breaths of time to recover. However, under the Azure Wither Secret Technique, it didn't even take a breath before he recovered.
Even if the Sword Of Gojoseon was reborn, it would not be able to withstand such a series of attacks. It probably would not be able to last until the last sword attack. Chu Mu believed that even if this Holy King was stronger than the Sword Of Gojoseon, he would not be able to withstand such a series of attacks. Even if he did not die, he would most likely be on the verge of death.
However, for some reason, Chu Mu felt a sense of danger in his heart. This sense of danger made him not dare to relax. Instead, it made him even more vigilant.
His eyes were sharp as he stared at the black hole. His two swords shone brightly as sword intent surrounded his body.
Time passed breath by breath. Each breath felt as long as a year.
Chu Mu held his breath. Even his heartbeat seemed to stop. His attention was completely focused on the black hole.
Suddenly, an indescribable sense of danger exploded from the depths of Chu Mu's soul. From the black hole, a fine ray of light shot towards Chu Mu like a meteor streaking across the sky.
Fast, it was simply too fast. By the time Chu Mu realized it, the light was already right in front of him. There was no way to dodge it.
In fact, before Chu Mu's two swords could cross in defense, he felt an intense pain in his chest. The terrifying light was like a sword that pierced through his Blood Shark Robe and Blood Shark Armor. Even his powerful body couldn't defend against it and was pierced through by the light.
At the same time as the terrifying light pierced through Chu Mu's body, the enormous power also brought Chu Mu's body up into the sky, instantly covering several thousand meters.
That light contained an astonishing power that seemed to be able to shatter the heavens. It rapidly spread throughout Chu Mu's body and wreaked havoc. It caused Chu Mu's body to be covered with cracks like the heavens. In the next breath, he would completely shatter.
At the same time, a figure charged out of the black hole. His entire body was charred black as if he had been burned by a fire. In the next breath, a shocking scene appeared. It was as if his skin had been peeled off. The charred skin fell off and the Holy Ruler came out. His ruddy skin was like a baby's, as if he had been reborn.
There wasn't the slightest injury on his body. His aura wasn't in disorder either. It was as if all of Chu Mu's previous attacks had been ineffective.
How could such a terrifying attack not cause any harm to the Holy Ruler?
Chu Mu didn't understand. He felt that even if the Holy Ruler had the strength of the initial fifth refinement, it was impossible for him to be unharmed in the face of such an attack.
His body seemed to be on the verge of shattering. The power of the Withering Secret Technique swept through his body. The power of Heaven's Bane didn't have much resistance against the Withering Secret Technique and was quickly devoured. Chu Mu's injuries also rapidly healed in a short time. His strength also completely recovered.
The two of them were tens of thousands of meters apart. This distance was no different from a few thousand meters.
Seeing that Chu Mu not only didn't die from his finger, but even quickly healed from his wounds and recovered his strength, the sacred king was extremely shocked.
Could it be that he has also cultivated the Immortal Deity Technique? The Holy Ruler couldn't help but have this thought. The Immortal Deity Technique was the ultimate technique of the Immortal Division. Other than the Immortal Saint Emperor, he was the only one who had cultivated it. Even the Immortal Royal Guards of the Imperial Palace had only been transformed by the Immortal Energy and hadn't cultivated the Immortal Deity Technique.
If it wasn't the Immortal Deity Technique, then it should be a technique similar to the Immortal Deity Technique. However, with the Holy Ruler's knowledge and experience, he didn't know what kind of technique could be compared to the Immortal Deity Technique.
"What technique do you cultivate?" The Holy Ruler actually asked directly.
"Should I call you the Holy Ruler or the Holy Sovereign?" Chu Mu didn't answer. Instead, he asked a question of his own.
"With your age, you're already half a step away from the Fifth Refinement. It's a pity that the difference between the Fifth Refinement and the Fourth Refinement isn't something you can understand." The Holy Ruler said, "Only those who have reached the Fifth Refinement have a chance to become a Holy Sovereign."
In one sentence, he had pointed out the difference between the Fifth Refinement and the Fourth Refinement.
The Holy Sovereign was an expert below the Holy Emperor.
However, Chu Mu could hear the meaning in the sacred king's words. It seemed that reaching the fifth refinement didn't mean one could be called a sacred sovereign. Instead, reaching the fifth refinement gave one a chance to become a sacred sovereign. These were two meanings.
In other words, in order to become a Holy Sovereign, one had to reach the Fifth Refinement. However, reaching the Fifth Refinement didn't mean that one was a Holy Sovereign.
What was the secret behind this?
Chu Mu didn't know because he wasn't a Fifth Refinement cultivator yet.
"Ask?" Chu Mu asked. He didn't give up the opportunity to understand the Holy Ruler just because the Holy Ruler was his enemy. Of course, he was just casually asking. He didn't expect the Holy Ruler to tell him.
"Peerless experts refine their laws. Holy Sovereigns refine at least one type of law to the extreme and then control it," the Holy Ruler explained. It was a short explanation, but Chu Mu understood.
A so-called Sacred Venerate was someone who had refined at least one of the laws they possessed to the extreme before gaining control over it.
As expected, the further one walked, the more one could see. The higher one flew, the more one could experience.
"Do you have any trump cards?" After the Holy Ruler finished speaking, he stared at Chu Mu. His meaning was obvious. If Chu Mu didn't have any trump cards, today's battle would be over. A powerful aura spread out from the Holy Ruler's body. It surpassed the Fourth Refinement, surpassed the Fifth Refinement, and reached an even higher level. As Chu Mu expected, the Holy Ruler had reached the Fifth Refinement.
Chu Mu's current strength was infinitely close to the Fifth Refinement, but it was only close. Close and reaching were two different things.
It seems like I have to use the third level of the Withering Secret Technique, Chu Mu thought.
His violent attacks didn't cause any harm to the Holy Ruler, but the Holy Ruler's finger had injured him. If it wasn't for the Withering Secret Technique, he would have died.
The difference in strength was too great. He couldn't hold back.
The third level of the Withering Secret Technique allowed one's lifespan to be reduced by a thousand times. Once it was used, Chu Mu could only live for a few hundred years.
Once he opened the third stage of Withered Secret Technique, his lifespan would decrease by a thousand times. Chu Mu only felt that the power in the deepest part of his body was rapidly disappearing. An unprecedented sense of weakness emerged, but this weakness didn't affect his strength.
At the same time, Chu Mu's aura also increased rapidly.
When his aura increased to a certain extent, Chu Mu felt that he had reached a bottleneck. That was the bottleneck of the Fifth Refinement.
His aura continued to increase. A powerful force surged in his body, gathered, and then rushed out.
After breaking through the bottleneck, an indescribable force filled Chu Mu's body. This force made him feel extremely powerful.
Fifth Refinement!
This was the strength of the Fifth Refinement.
The Holy Ruler watched as Chu Mu's aura continued to increase. It broke through the limit and reached the Fifth Refinement.
It's not enough, it's still not enough, the Holy Ruler thought. His eyes grew brighter.
After entering the Fifth Refinement, some information appeared in Chu Mu's mind. This information came from heaven and earth. It was information that every peerless powerhouse who entered the Fifth Refinement would receive. It was a gift from the Great Path of the world.
"I see. The Fifth Refinement isn't divided into beginner, middle, advanced, or peak. There's only the ordinary Fifth Refinement and the Holy Venerate." The information in his mind made Chu Mu understand this point. His strength was now at the level of an ordinary Fifth Refinement.
However, the increase was still ongoing. Only, Chu Mu felt that the powerful energy in his body seemed to be restricted by some invisible force.
The price of using the third level of the Withering Secret Technique was a thousandfold increase in his lifespan. Naturally, Chu Mu hoped to obtain even more power.
"The difference between the Fifth Refinement and the Holy Venerate is the control of the power of laws. I don't have the power of laws, but I have the True Intent. However, my True Intent has never been tempered. My strength is forcefully pushed up by the power of the Secret Technique."
As his thoughts raced, the change in the situation exceeded Chu Mu's expectations.
A strand of the Withering Secret Technique's power actually entered his Spiritual World, startling Chu Mu. Shortly after, a spiritual light flashed, and his consciousness came in contact with that strand of the Secret Technique's power. When he discovered that it wasn't rejected, Chu Mu immediately led that strand of the Secret Technique's power towards one of the True Intents.
The True Intents that Chu Mu comprehended now included the True Intent of Sword, the True Intent of Piercing, the True Intent of Slashing, the True Intent of Shaking, the True Intent of Qi, the True Intent of Defense, the True Intent of Life, the True Intent of Death, and so on. Naturally, Chu Mu couldn't refine all of them. He could only choose one.
Without hesitation, he chose the True Intent of Sword.
To a sword cultivator, the True Intent of Sword was the foundation of all the True Intents.
A strand of the Withering Secret Technique's power came in contact with the True Intent of Sword, entangling and tempering it. Even more of the Withering Secret Technique's power entered Xiao Chen's Spiritual World and continuously tempered the True Intent of Sword, causing it to undergo a miraculous transformation. Chu Mu couldn't describe this transformation, but he could feel that the change in his body was extremely profound and indescribable.
