There were a total of 99 runes bestowed by the heavens, and they were scattered in the Massacre Domain. There were a few runes in the Human City, the City of the Celestial Race, the City of the Devil Race, and the City of the Primordial Realm Alliance. Other than the Human Race, there were also a few runes in the Massacre Domain.
The God-given Runes that fell in the Massacre Battlefield were undoubtedly the most difficult to obtain. This was because there were many powerful Massacre Beasts in the Massacre Battlefield. Experts of the Great Emperor Realm and the Dominator Realm would not take action. If one wanted to obtain the God-given Runes, they would have to face the powerful Massacre Beasts.
Outside the Massacre Battlefield, although there were Massacre Beasts comparable to Holy Venerables, there were not many.
After Chu Mu obtained a God-given Rune, he and Mingjing quickly rushed to the next one. However, when they arrived, the God-given Rune had already chosen its owner.
Just as they were about to continue searching for the other God-given Runes, Chu Mu was blocked by someone.
"Chu Wangting, hand over the Massacre Runes that you were rewarded for the task of leaving your name on the Sword Cliff."
The person who blocked the way was Si Yufeng, a genius from the Hundred Heavens Alliance who wanted to purchase the Massacre Runes that were rewarded for the task of leaving one's name on the Sword Cliff at the exit of the Human City.
A few months ago, Si Yufeng's cultivation was at the Third Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. Now that a few months had passed, he was still at the Third Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. There was no obvious improvement. After all, when one's cultivation reached the Exceptional Realm, the improvement of each refinement could no longer be as fast as that of the Eternal Realm.
On the contrary, Chu Mu's cultivation had increased from the First Refinement of the Exceptional Realm to the Second Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. His strength had increased significantly, and he was not afraid of Si Yufeng.
"You really don't give up." Chu Mu smiled.
"I have an advantage. Once I see something, I must get it." Si Yufeng grinned. His sharp gaze was like a sword that pierced through Chu Mu's body.
"I also have an advantage. Anyone who extends a hostile hand to me will be killed." Chu Mu replied unhurriedly.
"Since that's the case, let's fight. Let me see what qualifications you have to be ranked first in the Sword Cliff. After I kill you, everything you have will be mine." Si Yufeng's voice became sharp, and it was like a devilish voice that pierced the mind. After that, a wisp of extremely fierce Sword Light tore through the sky as it shot over.
The Sword Light was accompanied by an astonishing howl. It was as if an invisible sword had pierced into the spiritual world, into the depths of one's heart, and shook one's mind.
The law that Si Yufeng primarily cultivated was shockingly the law of sound.
The Law of Sound could cause damage to both substance and illusion, impacting one's mind and will, disturbing one's mind. It could also affect the circulation of one's Qi and blood, impacting one's meridians and destroying one's body from within.
However, Chu Mu cultivated the Truth Seeking Art, which was the simultaneous cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit. This allowed him, who was at the second refinement of the supreme realm, to reach an astonishing level in every aspect. Although Si Yufeng's sword was powerful, it still couldn't affect Chu Mu.
"Let's see if I can condense my power into a Heavenly Rune," Chu Mu thought to himself as he drew the Li Perishing Sword.
Si Yufeng's sword turned into a sound that was everywhere. Then, it instantly condensed into one. Visible ripples charged at Chu Mu. Wherever it passed, the void seemed to shatter. The ground cracked inch by inch, and dust flew up. Countless stones and sand turned to dust under the terrifying sound waves.
Si Yufeng had once used this sword to shatter the body of a Lesser Sacred Venerate, turning it into a bloody pulp.
However, Chu Mu did not quickly reach the strength of a Lesser Sacred Venerate. Instead, he reached the peak of Lesser Sacred Venerate.
The Li Perishing Sword turned into a sharp Sword Light and instantly tore through the air. Under the effect of the Heavenly Rune's power, Chu Mu felt his power fuse even more tightly under the influence of the rune. It was like he was being compressed at a high intensity.
If Xiao Chen's power was like wood before, then now, under the influence of the Heavenly Rune's power, it turned from wood to steel. This was a qualitative improvement.
As the sword tore through the air, the void under the sword did not shake violently. The sky and earth were not affected at all. However, the moment the two swords collided, Si Yufeng was shocked to discover that the power of his sword had been directly torn apart.
The terrifying Sword Light tore through the air. Si Yufeng's hair stood on end. He waved the Sword Light around and layers of sound waves spread out continuously. They overlapped and intersected with each other in an attempt to block Chu Mu's sword.
Si Yufeng had clearly underestimated Chu Mu's strength and attacked rashly. Otherwise, if he knew that Chu Mu's current strength was enough to kill an ordinary Lesser Sacred Venerate, he would not have attacked so directly.
However, since he had already attacked, there was no turning back. He could either admit defeat or continue to fight.
Layers upon layers of intersecting sound wave sword aura, under Chu Mu's highly condensed Heaven and Earth Aligned Sword, the Li Perishing Sword's ability was displayed to the extreme. Instantly, it tore through the sound wave sword aura and continued onwards.
"Damn it!" Si Yufeng cursed in a low voice and activated the power of the Slaughter Rune.
He had mastered three Slaughter Runes. Each of them had reached the level of Bronze Rank Five and contained extraordinary power. One of them was the Slaughter Rune that was mainly used for defense. When it was used, it immediately formed a huge oval shield around him. It was enough to withstand the attack of a Lesser Sacred Venerate without breaking.
Chu Mu's sword arrived, but it did not change at all.
In an instant, the shield condensed from the power of the slaughter runes was pierced. With the tip of the sword as the center, cracks rapidly spread out, covering the entire shield in the blink of an eye, causing the shield to shatter. Under the impact of the tyrannical power, Si Yufeng quickly retreated.
Truth Rune!
Killing Intent Rune!
Two-hundred-thousandth of the Sword Way Origin!
"Sky Shattering Cloud!" Chu Mu shouted in a low voice. He raised the Li Perishing Sword high up and unleashed all his power. He slashed down again.
In an instant, the shockingly domineering Sword Light seemed to shatter the sky and crush countless clouds. It covered a radius of three thousand meters. It was as if everything within three thousand meters was crushed by the domineering power of the sword.
Then, countless broken clouds surged and condensed into a sword. The domineering Sword Light that covered a radius of three thousand meters condensed into a huge light sword and slashed down from the sky.
This was the fourth level of the Sky Shattering Cloud Sword Technique.
The fourth level of the Sky Shattering Cloud Sword Technique was equivalent to the level of a Supreme Sacred Venerable. Of course, with Chu Mu's current strength, he could only unleash a small portion of its power. However, it was still very powerful.
The power condensed under the Heaven Bestowed Rune, allowing the power of the fourth level of the Sky Shattering Cloud Sword Technique to condense at a high intensity. The original Sky Shattering Cloud Sword Technique turned into a huge light sword slash.
As the slash fell, it was indestructible!
The void seemed to crack. Under the terrifying pressure, Si Yufeng was extremely shocked. His face was pale, and a sense of regret emerged from the depths of his heart. He regretted attacking this person.
This domineering sword had destroyed his last bit of hope. However, Si Yufeng was, after all, a quasi-supreme prodigy. He had experienced hundreds of battles. He knew that at this moment, he could not regret or be afraid.
"Rune Shatter!"
Without hesitation, Si Yufeng shattered all three Bronze Level Five Slaughter Runes. After they were shattered, three powerful forces emerged and entered his body. Si Yufeng's body quickly spread, and he wore an armor made of countless small shields. His strength and the power of the Law of Sound that he had mastered also received a huge boost. In an instant, his strength skyrocketed, and his aura soared.
Chu Mu's arm shook. Suddenly, the Li Perishing Sword's Sword Light turned blue. A deep blue World Shadow that was more than a hundred meters in size descended and instantly suppressed everything. Its power was completely integrated into the huge light sword that was slashing down, causing the light sword's color to change instantly, turning into a deep blue color.
Using the Dao Seeking Sword Technique's deep blue world to activate the fourth level of the Sky Shattering Cloud Sword Technique!
Suppress!
The terrifying power caused Si Yufeng, who had received a huge boost in strength to resist, to pause. The deep blue light sword had already slashed down.
The shields and armor on Si Yufeng's body shattered piece by piece under the terrifying and domineering power. His body shook, and blood spurted out from his mouth and nose.
The power of this sword had reached the limit of a Lesser Sacred Master. It had exceeded the limit that Si Yufeng could withstand.
Si Yufeng could hear his bones, organs, blood, and everything else wailing under the terrifying pressure. It was the wailing of being unable to withstand the pressure.
"Stop … I'm from the Hundred Sky Alliance … You can't kill me …" As the last word was uttered, the deep blue Sword Light slashed down. It was indestructible, and it instantly shattered Si Yufeng's body into pieces. Countless pieces were then destroyed by the terrifying power of the Sword Light.
In other words, Si Yufeng had been turned into nothingness under Chu Mu's sword. However, his Interspatial Ring and sword remained.
"These people are all the same," Chu Mu thought to himself.
When Ye Jingyun attacked him and was about to be killed by him, he also said something similar. Something about a person from a family or a faction with a powerful backer. This Si Yufeng was also like that. However, so what? As long as they were enemies, he would kill them. This had always been Chu Mu's principle against enemies.
"Brother Chu …" Mingjing's voice trembled. He could see that Si Yufeng's strength was extraordinary, but he had been killed by Chu Mu in one strike. This meant that Chu Mu was much stronger than he had imagined. "My sister is not only beautiful, but she is also proficient in many talents. She is truly a talented woman. The number of people who like her can circle the Great Sky Domain three times. However, I still feel that Brother Chu is more suitable."
"Haha." Chu Mu only smiled.
"What do you mean by 'haha'? Why do I feel like you're scolding me, Brother Chu?" Mingjing asked.
"There's no such thing." Chu Mu smiled and said, "Let's go and find the other heaven-bestowed runes."
"We will, but what do you think of my sister? She's not bad." Mingjing chased after him and continued.
Si Yufeng's interception and his death were just a small interlude for Chu Mu. However, this matter would soon be known by the Hundred Sky Alliance.
This was because the battle between Chu Mu and Si Yufeng had been witnessed by others. They had nothing to do with Chu Mu, so they naturally would not hide the news. Instead, they would spread it.
At that time, there would be even more conflict.
