If it were any other half-step Emperor Realm expert facing three Second Step Emperor Realm experts, their legs would have turned to jelly, and their bodies would have stiffened. However, Chu Mu wasn't afraid in the slightest.
Even so, he knew that even though he wasn't weak and could fight against a low-level First Step Emperor Realm expert, he wasn't a match for a mid-level First Step Emperor Realm expert, not to mention a Second Step Emperor Realm expert.
There was an obvious difference in strength between every small rank in the Emperor Realm.
Even so, Chu Mu wouldn't hand over the lightning source stone with both hands because he had found it himself. If they wanted to snatch it away, they would need to have the strength to do so. If Chu Mu couldn't fight against them, he would have to use his trump card.
The three Second Step Emperor Realm experts had never imagined that Huang Xiaolong would have such a trump card. However, after thinking about it, a half-step Emperor Realm expert who dared to come here alone definitely had something to rely on.
But now, they were in a deadlock.
If they were scared off by a half-step Emperor Realm expert, they would become a big joke. However, if they didn't retreat, would they have to attack?
If they attacked, they wouldn't have the confidence to defend against the other party's trump card. A third-step Emperor Realm expert's power was enough to kill them.
Chu Mu didn't dare to act rashly. If he moved, the other party might find an opening and attack him. Both sides were in a deadlock.
It wasn't a good idea to continue like this. It was a waste of time.
"You have two choices. One, retreat immediately. Two, I'll waste one of my trump cards and kill you." Chu Mu spoke in a neither fast nor slow manner, but his words were filled with threat.
In an instant, the three Second Step Emperor Realm experts' faces turned ugly. They were threatened by a half-step Emperor Realm expert who was like an ant in their eyes. However, they couldn't retaliate against this threat. They felt like vomiting blood.
"Very good. Junior, I'll remember you." The Second Step Emperor Realm expert glared at Chu Mu fiercely as he spoke. It was as if he wanted to skin Chu Mu alive.
In the end, the three Second Step Great Emperors had no choice but to retreat. They didn't want to be stuck in a stalemate and miss out on other opportunities to find treasures.
When the three Second Step Great Emperors disappeared, Chu Mu finally let out a sigh of relief. In fact, Chu Mu still felt a lot of pressure when facing three undefeatable experts. During that period of time, he was highly focused and forgot about everything else. Otherwise, the slightest distraction would have given his opponents an opportunity to attack him.
Under such intense concentration, the exhaustion was obvious. Hence, as soon as he relaxed, Chu Mu felt exhausted. He put away the Thunder Origin Stone in his hand.
Right at this time, a sudden change occurred. A black ray of light pierced through the void and attacked Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's expression greatly changed. His entire body unconsciously trembled, and his hair stood on end. The shocking icy killing intent caused his hair to stand on end, as if there was a cold current flowing down his spine. Chu Mu's mind instantly focused. The Li Perishing Sword in his hand, the Sword Six of the All Heavens Sword Style counterattacked with extreme strength and speed, carrying the essence of using unchanging to counter all changes.
From the moment Chu Mu relaxed to the sudden change in situation to Chu Mu's counterattack, the entire process was extremely short. It didn't even take one hundredth of a breath's time. It was as if he had suddenly risen to a high place, fell down, and rushed back up again. The intense stimulation couldn't be described with words.
The indescribable trembling made Chu Mu understand something in an instant, but he couldn't grasp it.
The Sixth Sword collided with the black ray of light. However, the black ray of light dissipated in an instant. It spread out like smoke and turned into countless tiny black rays of light. Each of the black rays of light was astonishingly sharp as they shot towards every part of Chu Mu's body.
Attack after attack, the attack was endless. It didn't give Chu Mu the slightest chance to breathe. It was as if it was afraid that Chu Mu would take out the Snow Jade Sword of Way.
In the face of such a dense and continuous attack, Chu Mu was indeed unable to take out the Snow Jade Sword of Way. This was because the moment he took out the Snow Jade Sword of Way, he would be hit.
The sudden attack didn't kill Chu Mu. He gradually grasped the opportunity. The fourth layer of the Immemorial Sword Seal, the Heavenly Sword Rune!
With his strength increased, Chu Mu waved his sword and shattered the countless black rays of light. It was a life and death crisis.
A black shadow appeared behind him very strangely. The black ray of light shot down with astonishing killing intent. However, it was blocked by Chu Mu's sword. The sword trembled and the vibrating power washed away. He waved his sword to counterattack.
At the same time, Chu Mu also seized the opportunity to take out the Snow Jade Sword of Way.
The moment he took out the Snow Jade Sword of Way, the black shadow immediately retreated and escaped into the void. Chu Mu couldn't capture its aura.
Even if Chu Mu used the aura of the Sword Principle Origin to search, it was to no avail. It was as if the black shadow had already gone far away and disappeared without a trace.
However, Chu Mu didn't dare to let down his guard. Just now, when he let down his guard, the attack suddenly came. Who knew if the black shadow was still hiding in the void and waiting for him to let down his guard to attack again?
Fortunately, the black shadow's strength wasn't very strong. It was only a First Step Emperor Realm expert. Its strongest point was its ability to hide. Otherwise, Chu Mu would be in danger.
Maintaining a high level of vigilance, Chu Mu didn't put away the Snow Jade Sword of Way in his left hand. He maintained a uniform speed as he moved forward. The aura of the Sword Principle Origin covered the surroundings with pure spiritual power. He wanted to see if he could find any treasures.
On the other hand, Chu Mu discovered that after the pressure from the three Second Step Emperors and the sudden attack from the black shadow, his bottleneck seemed to have loosened.
"It seems like life and death is the best training." Chu Mu thought to himself.
However, life and death were also extremely dangerous. Sometimes, if he failed to train, he could be killed and lose everything.
It was like walking on a tightrope. Below him was a mountain of blades.
Under the high level of vigilance, Chu Mu didn't suffer any more attacks. Perhaps the black shadow had already left, or perhaps it was hiding in the surroundings, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
The feeling of having to be on guard against assassination at any time and place gave Chu Mu a very strange feeling. Under this feeling, the bottleneck seemed to loosen up a bit.
After a period of time, Chu Mu didn't find any treasures. However, he encountered the three Second Step Emperors from before. When the three Second Step Emperors saw Chu Mu, their faces were gloomy. If looks could kill, Chu Mu would've been killed countless times.
"Everyone, this person found more than a dozen Lightning Origin Stones." One of the three Second Step Emperors suddenly said, deliberately exaggerating the facts. There were other Great Emperors around. Hearing this, their gazes instantly fell on Chu Mu's face.
The gazes of the Great Emperors were all focused on Chu Mu's face. Their overbearing, sharp, and cold gazes instantly brought great pressure to Chu Mu. His originally highly concentrated state of mind became even more tense.
With a thought, Chu Mu immediately released the aura of the Snow Jade Sword. The energy fluctuation that belonged to a Third Step Emperor spread out, intimidating everyone. As expected, a group of Great Emperors was intimidated. They looked at the Snow Jade Sword in Chu Mu's left hand with fear.
However, there was one Great Emperor who wasn't intimidated because he was a Third Step Great Emperor.
"Are you going to hand it over yourself, or do you want me to kill you?" The Third Step Great Emperor stared at Chu Mu calmly. It wasn't that he didn't fear Chu Mu, but he was confident that he could withstand Chu Mu's attack. However, he didn't dare to let his guard down. The energy in his body surged and the aura of the Great Dao filled the air, ready to erupt at any time.
Chu Mu had three Snow Jade Swords that possessed the strength of a Third Step Great Emperor. However, his opponent was a true Third Step Great Emperor.
In addition to the Third Step Great Emperor, there were more than a dozen Second Step and First Step Great Emperors. No matter what, Chu Mu couldn't withstand them.
A Third Step Great Emperor, a dozen Second Step Great Emperors and First Step Great Emperors undoubtedly brought great pressure to Chu Mu. There might even be a Great Emperor assassin hiding in the void. Chu Mu's heart trembled. He felt like a lamb that had entered a pack of wolves.
One Origin Stone might not be enough to move a Third Step Great Emperor, but a dozen Origin Stones were very attractive.
Even a First Step Great Emperor wouldn't be able to withstand such pressure. However, Chu Mu didn't collapse from the pressure. On the contrary, an indescribable feeling emerged from the depths of his heart. It was as if he was trembling with fear, but also as if he was excited and excited.
It was a very strange feeling. It was as if he was drunk, or as if he was walking on clouds. It was as if he had lost all his strength, but also as if his entire body was filled with great power.
His heartbeat was more than ten times faster than usual. Under such intense heartbeat, his Qi and blood were transmitted to every part of his body at a speed ten times faster than usual. His skin turned red as if it was being roasted by the high temperature, emitting waves of heat.
His mind power became extremely active. It was as if thousands of waves were rolling up from a calm sea. An endless storm attacked. His Origin Energy rushed out of his Dantian uncontrollably and wreaked havoc in his meridians. It was as if his meridians were about to break out and wreak havoc in his body.
All of this seemed to have exceeded Chu Mu's expectations. His consciousness seemed to have become a bystander, observing the changes in his body from an unbelievable angle.
His heartbeat seemed to be getting faster and faster, and his Qi and blood surged more and more violently. Gradually, it seemed as if his Qi and Origin Energy were mixing together. His mind power was like a tsunami or a volcanic eruption.
"Will my body explode if this continues?" Chu Mu couldn't help but wonder. The situation was out of his control, and he couldn't stop it.
"Am I going to break through?" Another thought popped up.
Previously, he had been looking for opportunities to break through, but now, he was breaking through the bottleneck because of the pressure from the dozen Great Emperors.
However, even if he was going to break through, it wasn't safe to do so in such a place.
With a flash of spiritual light, Chu Mu's figure disappeared in front of the dozen Great Emperors in an instant.
