The Human City was huge. The city walls were hundreds of meters high, like an ancient mountain sitting on the ground. It was majestic and had a sense of vicissitudes and heaviness.
The huge Human City had a total of four city gates, opened in the East, West, North, and South directions. Each gate was hundreds of meters high and tens of meters wide. It was shocking, but there was no guard as there was no need.
Chu Mu walked out of the North Gate. At a glance, he saw dry land. It was brown, as if it was stained with blood. Further away, there were shadows of mountains.
Chu Mu used his speed and flew forward. Under the first level of World's End Near at Hand, Chu Mu was still astonishingly fast even without using his Sword Principle Origin.
The Slaughter Behemoth was a type of beast that was unique to the Slaughter World. Its body was usually very large, and its large body brought with it even more powerful and vigorous power. Therefore, the strength of the Slaughter Behemoth was shocking. Under normal circumstances, it would be stronger than the human race at the same level.
In the Slaughtering World, most of the people were natives. They were the descendants of those who entered from the outside world a long time ago. Generation after generation, they gradually developed. Naturally, like the outside world, they were uneven. There were geniuses and ordinary people, unlike those who came from the outside world.
Therefore, when the cultivators in the Slaughtering World went out to hunt the Giant Slaughtering Beasts to obtain the Slaughtering Secret Marks, they would usually form groups. Only the true geniuses could fight or even kill a Giant Slaughtering Beast of the same level alone.
The Slaughtering Beasts were divided into low rank, mid rank, high rank, and monarch rank. The low rank corresponded to the Eternal Realm, the mid rank corresponded to the Exceptional Realm, the high rank corresponded to the Emperor Realm, and the monarch rank corresponded to the Sovereign Realm.
The Giant Slaughtering Beasts in the Slaughtering World were mostly low level, followed by middle level. It was rare to see high level Giant Slaughtering Beasts, let alone king level Giant Slaughtering Beasts.
In order to correspond to the level of the cultivator, the low-level Giant Slaughtering Beasts were divided into 12 ranks. Rank 1 to 9 corresponded to the First Sky to Ninth Sky of the Aeon, and rank 10 to 12 corresponded to the three major battle powers. Among them, there was a Beast King Rank, which represented the true invincibility of the Aeon Realm. It was a powerful existence that could compete with an ordinary First Refinement Realm expert.
Mid-level Slaughtering Beasts were divided into nine levels. The first level to the fifth level corresponded to the first level to the fifth level. The sixth level to the ninth level corresponded to the Lesser Sacred Master, Great Sacred Master, Extreme Sacred Master, and Half-Step Great Emperor respectively. Above that was the Beast King level corresponded to the Peerless Realm. These powerful existences could even escape from a Great Emperor.
Not long after leaving Human City, Chu Mu encountered his first Slaughter Behemoth.
At a height of ten meters, it was a ferocious black tiger covered in barbs.
The strength of a Slaughtering Behemoth was usually proportional to its size. A ten-meter-long Slaughtering Behemoth was basically equivalent to a low-level Level 10, which was equivalent to a human cultivator's Dark Star level combat strength, but it was also a bit stronger than a normal Dark Star level combat strength.
Humans killed beasts, and beasts ate humans. When the Slaughtering Behemoth saw Chu Mu, it roared and pounced towards him. Its aura was shocking, and its murderous aura was overflowing. With an attack, its thick claws shot out five shocking cold lights, each of which was half a meter long. They tore through the sky with shocking sharpness and murderous intent, wanting to tear Chu Mu apart.
Chu Mu's height was not even two meters. Compared to this enormous black tiger covered in barbs, the difference was huge. However, there was no panic on Chu Mu's face. The enormous claws fell, and five sharp cold glints were precisely five claws that slashed down like five swords.
A light flashed in his eyes. He raised his left hand and pointed out a finger. The finger light was like a sword, piercing through the sky and piercing through the Slaughtering Behemoth's body.
The huge body fell to the ground, causing the earth to shake and dust to fly.
One finger to kill a low-level Rank 10 Slaughtering Behemoth. Its strength was shocking.
After the Slaughtering Behemoth fell to the ground, its huge body released a faint light. It disappeared under Chu Mu's eyes in a few breaths' time, leaving behind ten iron-black auras. Each aura emitted a shocking murderous intent.
Chu Mu grabbed the ten iron-black auras in his hand. The auras naturally merged into Chu Mu's palm, turning into ten faint black marks. These were the so-called Slaughtering Secret Runes.
The Dark Iron-colored ones were the Dark Iron-level Massacre Secret Runes, which were the lowest level of Massacre Secret Runes.
From Lin Meng's book, Chu Mu had memorized the methods to condense forty-five Slaughtering Runes. The lowest one required twenty-five Slaughtering Secret Runes. Of course, that was also the weakest Slaughtering Rune.
As he continued forward, he encountered another Slaughtering Behemoth.
The Slaughtering Behemoth was a beast unique to the Slaughtering World. Strictly speaking, it was a beast made of energy. It had no flesh and blood. It was mainly condensed from Slaughtering Secret Runes. After it was killed, it would leave behind Slaughtering Secret Runes, and the rest would dissipate between heaven and earth.
Before long, Chu Mu had killed several Slaughtering Behemoths and obtained more than twenty Slaughtering Secret Runes. In theory, a low-level Rank 1 Slaughtering Beast would have one Dark Iron Secret Rune, while a low-level Rank 10 Slaughtering Beast would have ten Dark Iron Secret Runes. However, killing the Slaughtering Behemoth would not guarantee the maximum number of Slaughtering Secret Runes. There might only be a few, or none. It all depended on luck.
"Let's condense a Slaughtering Rune first."
As he spoke, Chu Mu controlled twenty-five Dark Iron Secret Runes and condensed them quickly using the method he already knew. With Chu Mu's ability, it was not difficult at all. It just required a lot of concentration.
Under the control of Chu Mu's consciousness, the twenty-five black Slaughtering Secret Runes swam around and gradually intertwined with each other. Finally, they formed a thumb-sized black rune. There were twenty-five marks on the rune, which looked very magical.
The Dark Iron Slaughtering Rune was called the Strength Rune. As the name suggested, it was a rune that could increase one's strength.
Chu Mu studied it carefully for a while. Then, he controlled it with his mind and stimulated the power of the rune.
The rune seemed to be burning and emitted a black light. Like a black flame, it instantly entered Chu Mu's arm. Chu Mu immediately felt a force spreading throughout his body. His strength was enhanced.
"Hmm, it's about ten percent stronger." Chu Mu felt it carefully. Although he could feel that his physical strength was enhanced by ten percent, it did not have any effect on Chu Mu's strength.
Ten percent was the lowest level of enhancement of a Slaughtering Rune. It was the same no matter what level of Slaughtering Rune it was.
The Dark Iron Slaughtering Rune corresponded to the Eternal Realm. The Bronze Slaughtering Rune corresponded to the Exceptional Realm. The Silver Slaughtering Rune corresponded to the Great Emperor Realm. The Gold Slaughtering Rune corresponded to the Sovereign Realm. Generally speaking, the enhancement of a Dark Iron Rune to an Eternal Realm expert was from ten to fifty percent. The enhancement of a Bronze Rune was from sixty to one hundred percent. The enhancement of a Silver Rune was from twenty to eleven to fifteen percent. The enhancement of a Gold Rune was from sixteen to twenty percent. These were the most basic enhancements of a single rune.
This kind of enhancement was very obvious. Invincible Eternal Realm experts who received the enhancement of a Dark Iron Slaughtering Rune would become stronger. If they received the enhancement of a Bronze Slaughtering Rune, they would become even stronger.
The world of the strong was like this. Every increment in strength, speed, or any other aspect would be maximized by them.
The reason why this Strength Rune did not enhance Chu Mu's strength was very simple. It was because Chu Mu's cultivation had already surpassed the Eternal Realm and reached the Exceptional Realm. Whether it was Yuan Li, Physique, or Spiritual Will.
"I have to hunt Intermediate Slaughtering Beasts." Chu Mu muttered to himself. Since the Dark Iron Slaughtering Rune was useless to him, he naturally did not care about it.
The area where the Intermediate Slaughtering Beasts were located was far away from Human City.
If he encountered any Slaughtering Beasts along the way, he would kill them and obtain some Dark Iron Slaughtering Runes. If he saw them from afar, he would ignore them.
Chu Mu did not expect that when he stepped into the area of the Intermediate Slaughtering Beasts, he would meet the person who had cheated him of 500 Law Crystals. When the person saw Chu Mu, he was surprised, but immediately, his surprise turned into a sinister smile.
"It seems that my luck is not bad today." The middle-aged man laughed, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Anyone who stayed in the Slaughtering World for a long time and experienced many battles and killings would be tainted with a strong murderous aura.
"You just broke through to the Exceptional Realm not long ago. You dare to come here alone. It seems that you are very confident in your strength." There were four other people with the middle-aged man, forming a small team of five. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was a Third Refinement Exceptional Realm. With a glance, he could tell that Chu Mu's cultivation had just broken through to the Exceptional Realm.
Among the five people, the highest cultivation was a Third Refinement Exceptional Realm. Two of them were Second Refinement Exceptional Realm, while the other two were First Refinement Exceptional Realm. On their chests, there was a silver saber symbol embroidered. This was the symbol of the Giant Saber Sect, indicating that the five of them were from the Giant Saber Sect.
"Brothers, the 500 Law Crystals that we ate, drank, and played not long ago were obtained from him." The middle-aged man pointed at Chu Mu and smiled at the other four.
"I see. It just so happens that we have used up all the Law Crystals. Kid, lend us some more. Not much, just four to five thousand will do." The other First Refinement Exceptional Realm grinned at Chu Mu.
"Kid, seeing that you have come here, you should not be weak. You must have killed some Low Slaughtering Beasts, right? Hand over the Dark Iron Slaughtering Runes."
"In my opinion, let him obediently hand over his Interspatial Ring."
The five people spoke one after another, treating Chu Mu as a piece of meat on a chopping board. They could chop him up however they wanted. As they spoke, they seemed to subconsciously move their feet, but in reality, they were blocking all of Chu Mu's escape routes, making it impossible for Chu Mu to escape.
