A strong wind blew, and dark clouds surged, covering the sky in layers. The dark clouds looked like they were going to destroy the city.
Suddenly, a dazzling electric light tore through the layers of dark clouds, instantly striking down. That might was tyrannical and unparalleled, completely ignoring the existence of others.
That lightning was a saber light, a ferocious and tyrannical saber light. The saber light chopped down from the sky, tearing the sky and splitting the ground.
The expressions of the dozens of Holy Venerate experts around the scarlet ball of light changed drastically. They quickly burst forth with all their strength, struggling free of the horrifying suppression. Before the tyrannical saber light chopped down, they all retreated, leaving the scarlet ball of light.
Nearly the instant the dozens of Holy Venerates flew back, the tyrannical saber light, carrying a horrifying might that could cut and destroy everything, instantly chopping down on the hundred-meter-tall scarlet ball of light.
The crowd only saw that the scarlet ball of light, which the dozens of Holy Venerates attacked, had only caved in slightly. However, under this tyrannical and horrifying saber light, the scarlet ball of light quickly caved in. The saber light condensed into one, sharp and strong, charging forward with irresistible force.
Strike down! Strike down!
The saber light seemed to have the spirit of not giving up until it broke the blood-colored ball of light. The blood-colored ball of light resisted with all its might, but under the domineering saber light, it caved in little by little, constantly approaching the killing rune in the center.
Once it came into contact with the massacre talisman, the scarlet ball of light would probably break.
This was the saber strike of a half-step Martial Emperor. The hundreds of Peak Martial Emperors present could not compare to this saber strike. They could only dodge or look up to it.
"The Tyrant Saber Sovereign's saber is indeed terrifying," someone exclaimed.
The Tyrant Saber Sovereign's saber light disappeared.
The entire world seemed to disappear. Only the saber light remained, continuously chopping into the scarlet ball of light.
However, the scarlet ball of light was incredibly tough, forcefully blocking the saber light's attack. Ripples started spreading out from where the saber light struck. The scarlet ball of light was doing its best to disperse the saber light's energy, weakening the attack at its weak points.
One breath. Two breaths. Three breaths …
Time passed bit by bit. Every breath felt as long as a year.
Chu Mu narrowed his eyes. His pupils contracted to the size of swords. He carefully stared at the point where the saber light and the blood-red light ball came into contact.
The dozens of Saint Masters from before had attacked, but their attacks were quickly dispersed by the blood-colored ball of light. It was too fast, and Chu Mu was unable to observe it all the time. Although there were many people attacking, it was different after all.
However, things were different now. The saber light was domineering and powerful, refusing to give up. It constantly fought against the blood-red light ball, giving Chu Mu ample time and opportunity.
Using the Sword Dao Origin, Chu Mu's eyesight reached its peak. He seemed to be able to see the distribution of power within the saber light.
Whether it was saber techniques, sword techniques, or other martial arts, when used, it was the distribution and arrangement of power. The better the arrangement, the stronger the power. In the end, it was the structure of power.
Ripples continuously spread out from the blood-red light ball in all directions. The ripples were very rapid. The might of the saber light started to be countered by the blood-red light ball. The sunken blood-red light ball also started to bounce back.
Vaguely, Chu Mu seemed to hear a crisp sound. The power of the blood-red light ball suddenly erupted and instantly bounced back, shattering the weakened saber light.
After the saber light shattered, it turned into countless rays of light and dissipated.
The person in the sky revealed a look of shock. However, he did not intend to attack again. This was because that saber strike was the strongest saber strike that he could muster. Since such a saber strike could not break the blood-red light ball, he would not be able to do it again.
"Heaven-bestowed Talismans have always had their own spirituality. It is very difficult to obtain them if not for the right person. I wonder who will be able to obtain this Heaven-bestowed Talisman?" The Tyrant Saber Sovereign thought to himself. His sharp and tyrannical gaze swept across the crowd below, giving them great pressure.
Chu Mu closed his eyes. However, the scene from before kept replaying in his mind. The collision between the tyrannical saber light and the blood-red light ball.
The two seemed to be constantly magnified, allowing Chu Mu to clearly see the way in which they used their power.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind. It was as if he had captured some inspiration.
At the same time, the blood-red light ball suddenly jumped and actually shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had shrunk to the center of the ball, revealing a blood-red rune. As soon as the rune appeared, it had a terrifying and overwhelming sharpness. Even the Tyrant Saber Sovereign, who was the most powerful person in the sky, had a great change in expression. He felt as if his hair had been pierced through.
In the next moment, the blood-red rune that was emitting an endless sharpness moved. It was extremely fast. In an instant, it flew out and shot towards the crowd.
"It recognizes its master!"
Everyone understood that this Heaven-bestowed Talisman was about to choose its master.
Chu Mu seemed to have sensed something. Just as he opened his eyes, he happened to see a blood-red light shoot out at an astonishing speed and instantly enter his body.
In an instant, Chu Mu knew that he had been chosen by the Heaven-bestowed Talisman. Suddenly, sharp and fierce gazes from all directions all fell on Chu Mu. It made his scalp tingle. One had to know that there were hundreds of Saint Venerables here.
"Hand over the Heaven-bestowed Talisman." Someone immediately threatened Chu Mu. A shocking killing intent covered Chu Mu's body. It was a great sacred venerable expert.
"A bunch of idiots." The Tyrant Saber Sovereign's voice came from above. "Once the Heaven-bestowed Talisman chooses its master, even if you kill its master, you will not be able to obtain it."
Hearing the Tyrant Saber Sovereign's words, everyone felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over their hearts.
Indeed, the Heaven-bestowed Talisman was different from the other Slaughter Talismans. Once it chose its master, it was determined. Killing the other party was useless. However, everyone was still very angry. After all, they had come all the way here but ended up empty-handed. They even had to watch others reap the benefits. That kind of feeling was extremely unpleasant.
"If you have time, why don't you go fight for the other Heaven-bestowed Talismans?" The Tyrant Saber Sovereign said again. He turned into a sharp saber light and quickly left, heading towards another Heaven-bestowed Talisman.
After hearing the Tyrant Saber Sovereign's words, everyone suddenly understood. Most of them also quickly left.
A small portion of them seemed to be somewhat unwilling. They all stared at Chu Mu covetously, as if they wanted to tear him apart.
Mingjing stood not far from Chu Mu. She was a bit nervous. There was nothing she could do about it. Everyone here had the strength of a Saint Venerable. Any one of them could defeat and kill him.
Chu Mu's expression didn't change. He already knew the use of the Heaven Bestowing Rune. Moreover, there were more than twenty people left, but most of them were Small Sacred Venerables. There were a few Great Sacred Venerables. With his current strength, he wasn't afraid of Small Sacred Venerables at all. Perhaps he wasn't the opponent of Great Sacred Venerables, but if he wanted to leave, it wouldn't be difficult.
"If we fight later, don't interfere. I am confident that I can escape." Chu Mu transmitted his voice to Mingjing.
"Even if we kill you, we won't be able to obtain the Heaven-bestowed Talisman. However, I am still unhappy." A Little Saint Venerable said angrily. He directly sent out a palm strike. His intention was to teach Chu Mu a lesson and vent his anger.
However, was Chu Mu the kind of person who could be taught a lesson so easily? Clearly not. Thus, he drew his sword.
The Li Perishing Sword slashed out. The cold Sword Light was incomparably sharp. It directly displayed the strength of a Little Saint Venerable. The terrifying Sword Light directly cut apart the opponent's palm strike. It continued forward with irresistible force, instantly sending the opponent flying.
The power of this sword directly startled the others.
"Who are you?" a Great Saint Venerable asked.
"Chu Royal Court," Chu Mu replied neither quickly nor slowly. This name immediately caused their expressions to change greatly.
The first person to leave his name on the Sword Cliff was ten feet above Emperor Chu. He was fully deserving of the title of a peerless genius. No wonder he could injure a Little Saint Venerable with his initial Second Refinement cultivation.
"Let's go. The Heaven-bestowed Talisman has already recognized him as its master."
After learning of Chu Mu's identity and the special characteristics of the Heaven-bestowed Talisman, no one had any intention of remaining. After all, even those Great Saint Venerables were not confident that they could keep Chu Mu here. Furthermore, once they made a move and failed to kill him, it would be sowing hatred. In the future, the other party would definitely seek revenge.
Just thinking about the revenge of a peerless genius who could leave his name on the Sword Cliff made one's hair stand on end.
In the end, only Chu Mu and Mingjing remained beside the huge pit.
"Brother Chu, congratulations on obtaining the Heaven-bestowed Talisman," Mingjing sincerely said. However, no matter how one looked at it, there was hidden bitterness on her face. Soon, it was replaced by curiosity. "What is its attribute? How many are there? "
"There's only one attribute," Chu Mu said. "It's condensed power."
By condensed power, the Heaven-bestowed Talisman's power would assist Chu Mu, allowing his power to reach an even more condensed level. This might not increase his overall strength by much, but this Heaven-bestowed Talisman was different from the other Talismans of Slaughter. He did not need to activate its power because it was passive.
Yes, when the Heaven-bestowed Talisman chose Chu Mu as its master, its power naturally took effect. Chu Mu could choose whether or not the Heaven-bestowed Talisman's power would affect his own, allowing his power to become even more condensed. However, the Heaven-bestowed Talisman's power would not be consumed.
This meant that Chu Mu did not need to use the Secret Slaughter Inscriptions to replenish the consumption of the Heaven-bestowed Talisman.
"Brother Chu, are we still going?" Mingjing asked.
She was referring to whether or not they still needed to find other Heaven-bestowed Talismans.
Through this, they already knew that the Heaven-bestowed Talisman was not necessarily better if they arrived earlier. It would choose its master, so even if they arrived first, they might not necessarily be able to obtain it. If they could not obtain it, they would definitely be very unhappy to see someone else obtain it in the end, just like those people who had come not too long ago.
"Of course," Chu Mu said with a smile.
Although the Heaven-bestowed Talisman that he had obtained could not directly increase his strength, it could make his power more condensed. More condensed power meant more powerful attacks. Coupled with the various abilities of the Li Perishing Sword, he would be able to break through anything, no matter how tough it was.
