The sudden attack was out of everyone's expectations. It also surprised Chu Mu.
Caught off guard, Chu Mu was sent flying. However, he reacted quickly and borrowed the force of the attack to fly back a thousand meters, quickly increasing the distance between them. His blood was shaken. If not for his powerful physique, this attack would not only cause him a light injury, it could even cause him to lose the ability to fight.
Li Tianxiao didn't show any mercy after his attack succeeded. He took the opportunity and rushed forward. As if he was chasing the sun, he continuously attacked with the Vast Yang Hand. Streaks of golden-red palm prints pierced through the void and attacked Chu Mu.
Activating the Truth Seeking Technique, Great True Energy surged through his entire body, causing Chu Mu's wounds to quickly heal. He used the Four Directional Truth Seeking Steps and World's End Near at Hand Body alternately to dodge and pull apart the distance, fighting for enough time to heal his wounds.
Chu Mu knew that this was Li Tianxiao's true strength. He had surpassed the level of an Extreme Sacred Master. However, he wasn't at the level of a Half-step Great Emperor yet. He could only barely reach the level of a Half-step Great Emperor.
However, this was normal. The peak of the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm was barely at the level of a Half-step Great Emperor. This was the level of a prodigy. If he completely reached the level of a Half-step Great Emperor, he could surpass the level of a prodigy and reach the level of an Exceptional Prodigy.
Barely reaching the level of a Half-step Great Emperor meant that he possessed a portion of a Half-step Great Emperor's strength. Especially for a prodigy like Li Tianxiao, his strength was even more terrifying.
Chu Mu unleashed his strength to the extreme. After widening the distance between them, he counterattacked with his sword. The Sword Light split and danced chaotically. It was filled with endless changes.
Limitless Manifestation!
Li Tianxiao's expression was cold as he attacked with the Vast Yang Hand. He forcefully shattered the Limitless Manifestation's Sword Light, preventing Chu Mu from using the Ten Thousand Elephants Unification.
This also allowed Chu Mu to find a flaw in his Limitless Sword Technique. The combination of the two moves wasn't perfect enough.
When he used his full strength, Li Tianxiao's attacks were even more domineering. The might of the Vast Yang Hand became even more terrifying. Palm after palm struck out continuously. Every palm surpassed the level of an Extreme Sacred Venerate. Chu Mu found it difficult to resist.
Chu Mu wasn't as calm as he had been before when he faced the powerful Li Tianxiao. He could only hold on tenaciously under the pressure of his opponent.
"Are you going to display the true secrets of the Human Dao?" Chu Mu thought to himself. However, he didn't plan on using it so early. Li Tianxiao was indeed very powerful. Even if he wanted to defeat him, he wouldn't be able to do so. If he activated the Heavenly Sword Rune's power, he could still hold on.
The Truth Seeking Technique continued to circulate, and the Heaven and Earth Elemental Qi flowed into his body, transforming into Great True Power to recover his energy.
The purity of the Great True Power was astonishing, and adding that Chu Mu's dantian was different from ordinary people, it allowed him to possess power that far surpassed cultivators of the same cultivation level, and thus he could hold on for a longer period of time.
In addition, Chu Mu also wanted to use Li Tianxiao to train himself further.
This kind of training where the opponent was stronger than him and gave him intense pressure, but it was not enough to directly defeat him was the best way to train himself. It could stimulate his potential even better.
After attacking continuously, Li Tianxiao clearly felt like he could defeat Chu Mu, but he was unable to do so. After a few minutes, Li Tianxiao became somewhat impatient.
His personality and martial arts were all about being overbearing and directly crushing his enemies. However, at this moment, he had not been able to crush his opponent even though he had used his full strength. Instead, it seemed to have become a training ground for his opponent, which made him very unhappy.
"You asked for it," Li Tianxiao thought to himself. Li Tianxiao thought to himself as a golden-red blazing light flashed in his eyes. Soon after, he leapt up and let out a low cry. An incomparably terrifying heat was released from his body.
"Vast Yang Sky Burning Technique!"
Waves of heat surged out from Li Tianxiao's body, as if there was a blazing sun hidden in his body. At this moment, the energy that was released was enough to burn the sky.
This was a secret skill, a secret skill that only the Great Sun Palace had. It was extremely difficult to cultivate. One had to continuously absorb the sunlight under the sun to cultivate and store the power in one's body. It would only be released at a critical moment. Just like the Great Sun Hand, cultivating this secret skill would also require one to endure a lot of pain.
Terrifying heat was released from Li Tianxiao's body continuously, rumbling and shaking the void. The surrounding space was scorching hot, as if it had turned into a vacuum zone. With the execution of this secret technique, Li Tianxiao's aura rose rapidly, truly stepping into the realm of a Half-step Great Emperor.
Looking down from above, Li Tianxiao's body seemed to be shrouded in sunlight. He threw out a palm strike, the power of the Vast Yang Hand had exceeded its limit. The edge of the golden red palm print had a circle of sunlight, as if a blazing sun had descended from the sky, bringing with it terrifying power as it blasted towards Chu Mu.
"Is this Li Tianxiao's strength?"
"Too strong."
"Chu Mu is bound to lose."
Voices rang out one after another.
Li Tianxiao's current strength had already reached the realm of a Half-step Great Emperor. Moreover, it didn't seem to be the level of an ordinary Half-step Great Emperor. In the Hundred Battles Arena, it was rare to see someone with such strength, an invincible existence.
As the palm landed, it shattered Chu Mu's heavy Sword Light. The power didn't seem to be depleted at all, and the terrifying heat assaulted from all directions.
A loud boom was heard, causing the entire Hundred Battles Arena to tremble. A terrifying energy storm mixed with light blasted out in all directions.
Li Tianxiao's lips curled into a smile. He was confident that the power of this palm strike was extremely tyrannical, enough to defeat his opponent, but not enough to kill him. After all, this was the Hundred Battles Arena, and there was a corresponding protective mechanism.
The intense light completely covered Chu Mu, causing others to be unable to see clearly. Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura rushed out from the light, bringing with it a shocking sharpness. It was like a peerless divine sword tearing through the sky, crushing all the light rays.
Seeing that Chu Mu was unharmed and feeling the tyrannical aura from his body, Li Tianxiao's expression changed drastically.
"What's going on?"
"How did his strength suddenly increase by so much?"
Everyone was shocked and puzzled.
Previously, they had always thought that Chu Mu had used some kind of secret technique to increase his strength from the Great Sacred Master level to the Supreme Sacred Master level. But now, he had surpassed the Supreme Sacred Master level and reached the Half-step Great Emperor level. It was completely illogical.
"Could it be that he used a second secret technique?"
"Impossible. A secret technique that can increase one's strength by so much must have a huge side effect. It's impossible for him to use a second one."
Every body had a limit. Once it exceeded the limit, it would collapse. Otherwise, if there was no limit, then one could learn a few more secret techniques and use them together at a critical moment. Then, one's strength would definitely increase to a shocking level.
No matter what kind of secret technique it was, there were two kinds of secret techniques in the end. The first kind was to overdraw one's potential, strength, life and everything that belonged to one's body. Therefore, it couldn't be used frequently, and it couldn't be used repeatedly. The second kind was to use external forces. To put it bluntly, it was using external forces. For example, the Sword God's Descent secret technique that Chu Mu had cultivated back then required the essence of the Heavens and Earth to cultivate. It could only be used after accumulating energy and accumulating energy.
"Could it be that he didn't use any secret technique before, but used his true strength? Now, he's using some kind of secret technique?" murmured a Great Emperor. He wasn't the only one who had this thought.
"Exceptional Third Refinement Realm cultivation base, but his true strength has reached the limit of the Supreme Sacred Master level. If that's really the case, then he's not a genius, but a peerless genius!"
Blood Hand Great Emperor Chu Xue's eyes were also filled with excitement. He felt that this conjecture was very possible.
If Chu Mu was really a peerless genius, then once he joined Chu Sect, it would be equivalent to having two peerless geniuses. Chu Huangji was one of them.
The more peerless geniuses there were, the greater the benefits for Chu Sect. It meant that Chu Sect's potential was limitless.
On the side of the human race, the five Great Emperors were both shocked and vexed. If they had known earlier, they would have paid an even greater price to recruit Chu Mu. One had to know that peerless geniuses and peerless geniuses were two different concepts.
But now, it was too late. Blood Hand Great Emperor was here and had talked to Chu Mu. Chu Mu's intentions were very clear. He was very interested in Chu Sect.
"What a pity, what a pity …" The five Great Emperors shook their heads and smiled bitterly. They were extremely regretful, but there was no medicine for regret now.
As for the Great Emperors of the other races, they all had ugly expressions. This peerless genius was from the human race, not their race.
A peerless genius was extremely important to an entire race. Once he matured, he would affect the entire race. Perhaps there wouldn't be a second peerless genius like the Weapon Ancestor of the Weapon Tribe, but he would still become the pillar of the entire race.
Under the True Secret of Human Dao, Chu Mu's strength had surpassed the limit, reaching the half-step Great Emperor level. Compared to Li Tianxiao, he wasn't inferior.
"So you can still erupt with such strength." Li Tianxiao said. Being shrouded in a circle of sunlight, he gave off a lofty feeling. Even his words carried a blazing heat. That heat also revealed the excitement in Li Tianxiao's heart.
Originally, he thought that his Great Sun Sky Burning Secret Art would be powerful enough to crush Chu Mu. He didn't expect that Chu Mu would also use a secret art to raise his strength to the half-step Great Emperor level.
In other words, the secret art that Li Tianxiao had used was fake. That was Li Tianxiao's true strength. He was a peerless genius.
Li Tianxiao had experienced the limitless brilliance of a peerless genius. That was because there were peerless geniuses in Great Sun Divine Palace who were unparalleled in their generation. Even a peerless genius like Li Tianxiao was suppressed by them, living under their halo. Li Tianxiao had always wanted to break this suppression. Today, he had a chance.
