The time to comprehend the Tablet of Massacre was three days. Once the time was up, it would close and the cultivators would be sent out of the Tablet of Massacre to return to the Massacre Divine Palace.
Chu Mu looked at the remaining 100 battle merits and found them useless. Anything that was useful to him would cost at least 500 battle merits. He transferred the remaining battle merits to Ming Jing. Together with Ming Jing's remaining battle merits, he now had more than 200 battle merits. He could let Ming Jing exchange for something else.
"Brother Chu, I have to leave the Massacre World and return to the Great Sky Region. See you again." Ming Jing bade farewell to Chu Mu. This time, he was really leaving.
"See you again," Chu Mu said.
The friendship between gentlemen was as light as water. Parting and reuniting only took a few words.
After Ming Jing left, Chu Mu stayed in Human City. Comprehending the Tablet of Massacre had allowed Chu Mu to comprehend the mysteries behind it. It had also allowed him to transform the mysteries into a sword technique. However, this was only the beginning. There was still room for improvement and improvement.
Chu Mu chose a secret cultivation room where he could practice his sword technique and began his seclusion.
…
In the Great Sky Region, the Heavenly Sword Divine Palace was lofty and deep. Suddenly, a powerful aura gushed out from one of the palaces and shot into the sky. It was as if an invisible divine sword had pierced through the heavens and pierced through the Nine Heavens.
This sword aura was earth-shattering.
"That aura is …"
"Ye Jingshen has broken through."
"He was at the Fourth Refinement Exceptional Realm before his seclusion. He has the strength of a Supreme Sacred Master. After his breakthrough, he is at the Fifth Refinement Exceptional Realm. Does that mean his strength has reached …"
"Half-step Great Emperor!"
In the Source Realm, as long as a cultivator worked hard enough, reaching the Eternal Realm was almost guaranteed. As for the Exceptional Realm, as long as one worked hard enough and had enough time, one could reach it. However, reaching the Great Emperor Realm was very difficult. It was at least a hundred or a thousand times harder than reaching the Exceptional Realm.
For many cultivators, reaching the Great Emperor Realm was their lifelong goal. However, it was unattainable.
Therefore, the Half-step Great Emperor Realm was the limit of many cultivators. Now, Ye Jingshen's strength had probably reached the Half-step Great Emperor Realm.
If he could kill a strong Supreme Holy Master when he was only at the Fourth Refinement of the Exceptional Saint Level, then he would definitely be stronger than a Supreme Holy Master now that he was at the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Saint Level. He would be a half-step Great Emperor.
"What a monster."
"As expected of a peerless genius."
"I dare say that Ye Jingshen will at least become a Sovereign in the future. He might even reach the level of our Sky Sword Godly Hall's ancestor."
"At the same level as the Patriarch, that's …"
"If Ye Jingshen can reach the level of the Great Ancestor in the future, our Sky Sword Godly Hall will become even more powerful and dominate the heavens."
Ye Jingshen, the number one genius of the Ye Clan since ancient times and the last disciple of the current Sky Sword Godly Palace Master, broke through to the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm after a year of closed-door cultivation. His strength also increased, surpassing the Extreme Sacred Venerate and entering the Half Step Great Emperor Realm.
A Sword Light shot up to the sky from the palace as if it had pierced through the void.
Immediately after, it turned around in the sky and left the Sky Sword Godly Hall at an astonishing speed, heading towards the outside world.
"You dared to kill my younger brother. Are you prepared to face my wrath?" Ye Jingshen's eyes were ice-cold. A thick murderous intent condensed in his eyes, ready to be unleashed.
Ye Jingshen left in a hurry as soon as he came out of closed-door cultivation. He wanted to go to the Massacre World to find the murderer of his brother, Ye Jingyun. He wanted to take revenge for his brother and find out everyone related to the murderer and kill them all.
Previously, when he was in closed-door cultivation, he would be injured if he stopped. Hence, he did not dare to stop and could not stop. He only rushed to the Massacre World after he came out of closed-door cultivation as he was afraid that the murderer would escape.
…
In the secret room, there was a human-shaped metal statue. It was made of a special material and was extremely tough. Its strength could withstand the attack of a Half Step Great Emperor Realm.
Now, it was the target of Chu Mu's sword skills.
With the Li Perishing Sword in his hand, he stood quietly in the secret room and faced the metal statue. His aura was restrained.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
It was not until ten breaths later that Chu Mu's hand moved.
The Li Perishing Sword pierced through the air at a speed that could not be seen. The speed of the sword was shocking. It turned into a blood-red ray that cut through the void and attacked the metal statue.
It was fast and ruthless.
This sword was filled with killing intent. It was the condensation of pure killing intent and killing intent. It unified Chu Mu's killing intent and killing intent and integrated them into this sword to become a killing move.
This was the Sword of Killing, the Sword of Killing Dao.
The blood-red sword light instantly slashed at the metal statue, directly cutting it open and leaving a deep mark.
"Its power can reach the level of an Extreme Holy Master. However, when I attack, the condensation and circulation of the killing intent is still a little slow. It needs to be improved."
Chu Mu thought to himself after thinking about it for a while.
After another ten breaths, Xiao Chen attacked again.
Just like that, Chu Mu attacked again and again. There was a gap of ten breaths between each attack. Those ten breaths were the time for Chu Mu to reflect and store up power, just like when he was at the Slaughter Stele. However, at that time, Chu Mu was simulating cultivation in his spiritual world. Now, he was cultivating in his own body.
After ten attacks, Chu Mu had a deeper understanding of this move.
After another twenty breaths, Chu Mu attacked for the eleventh time.
"The trajectory can be further adjusted to be more concise," Chu Mu thought to himself.
After another twenty breaths of time, Chu Mu waved his sword again. Compared to before, the trajectory had a slight change. It wasn't very obvious, but this slight change caused Chu Mu's sword's speed to increase a bit.
When experts fought, the faster the speed, the easier it was to gain the upper hand and kill the opponent.
After the twentieth attack, Chu Mu comprehended again. This time, there was a gap of thirty breaths.
The longer the interval, the deeper Chu Mu's comprehension was. The deeper his comprehension was, the more time he had to spend to comprehend more. This was a cycle.
Starting from ten breaths, to twenty breaths, to thirty breaths, to forty breaths … fifty breaths … sixty breaths …
After sixty breaths, Chu Mu attacked for another ten times.
"This is the limit," Chu Mu thought to himself.
He had already reached the upper limit of how much space he could improve this sword. If he wanted to improve it further, he would need to increase his cultivation realm. In other words, he had barely reached the Minor Sovereign Realm. He had to increase his cultivation realm again in order to continue improving this sword art.
"A sword art created based on the Slaughter Profound Dao. It only exists for slaughter." Chu Mu thought to himself, "Since it's like this, I'll call it the Lifeless Sword Style."
Lifeless Sword Style, when the sword was drawn, there was no life.
What made Chu Mu interested was that the Lifeless Sword Style had no ranks.
A martial art without ranks could be said to be the weakest martial art. It could also be said to be the strongest martial art. Because there was no rank restriction, it had unlimited possibilities. However, because there was no rank restriction, it wasn't outstanding in the beginning.
For example, the two sword arts that Chu Mu cultivated, the White Horse Sword Style was at the half-step Great Emperor realm. In other words, the highest level of cultivation would be at the half-step Great Emperor realm. At the same time, it also meant that this sword art was most suitable for half-step Great Emperors. If one's strength exceeded half-step Great Emperors, this sword art would be useless.
The highest level of the Sky Shattering Cloud Sword Style was at the Great Emperor realm. It meant that the highest level of cultivation was suitable for Great Emperors. It also meant that the highest level of cultivation was at the Great Emperor realm.
All of these were restrictions.
The Lifeless Sword Style had no rank restriction. This meant that theoretically, even Qi Refining Realm cultivators could cultivate it. Even Dominator Realm experts could cultivate it. It also meant that the power could be at the Qi Refining Realm, Dominator Realm, or even higher.
Of course, the power of the Lifeless Sword Style wasn't only related to the cultivator's cultivation. It was also closely related to one's murderous aura and killing intent. The stronger the murderous aura and killing intent, the stronger the power of the Lifeless Sword Style would be.
The Lifeless Sword Style was a sword art of the Slaughter Dao. It was closely related to the murderous aura and killing intent. It wasn't as obvious as the cultivation level. Of course, this was relative.
The difference between the White Horse Sword Style and the Sky Shattering Cloud Sword Style was that the Lifeless Sword Style wasn't only a sword art without a rank. It was a sword art that Chu Mu had created himself. It was completely compatible with Chu Mu's own sword art. Such a sword art could be unleashed beyond the limit and had amazing potential.
"Let me try the strongest power of the Lifeless Sword Style." Chu Mu thought to himself. His eyes emitted an incomparably fierce glint that shot out and landed on the metal statue. Soon after, an incomparably powerful killing intent and killing intent surged forth. It converged with the Great True Energy and instantly poured into the Li Perishing Sword. Using a peculiar method, it combined and rotated. When it collided, it exploded with an even more tyrannical power.
The Sword of Slaughter of the Path Seeking Sword Art!
"Lifeless Sword Style!"
Chu Mu said in his heart. He slashed out with his sword. It turned into a blood-red Sword Light. It was like a waning moon and flowing light. It tore through the air and attacked the metal statue.
The moment the sword was unleashed, the sword light had already hit the metal statue. An ear-piercing sound rang out. The sword had actually cut the metal statue's head in half.
It should be known that the metal statue could withstand the attack of a Half-step Great Emperor. Chu Mu could clearly feel that the Lifeless Sword Style he had used with the Sword of Slaughter was his most powerful attack. Its power had surpassed the level of an ordinary Supreme Saint. It had risen to the level of a peak Supreme Saint.
This was the most powerful sword move he had mastered so far.
After unleashing the sword, Chu Mu also felt a wave of weakness. Not only did he feel weak in terms of power, but he also felt weak in his murderous aura and killing intent.
After comprehending the mysteries of the Way of Slaughter, his murderous aura and killing intent had become a power that he could freely use. It had become the same as Great True Force. It could be consumed and recovered. When Chu Mu used all of his murderous aura and killing intent, it was like using all of his Great True Force in an instant. There would be a temporary lack of power. It was a kind of weakness.
Such a sword meant that Chu Mu could only use it once in a short period of time. If he couldn't kill the enemy, he might be killed. Thus, he couldn't use it easily.
