A roar filled with killing intent reverberated in his ears. Terrifying killing intent assaulted him, and Chu Mu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His entire body felt cold.
The Star Beast's sharp claws tore through the air, and a terrifying force that could shatter meteorites and tear heaven and earth apart descended with terrifying killing intent. However, the claws grabbed nothing but air, and only a few scratches were left behind. Chu Mu dodged the Star Beast's claws. Before he could react, the Star Beast's sharp horns pierced through him like a peerless divine sword.
Subsequently, the Star Beast's tail also tore through the air, and it was like a peerless divine spear piercing through the void.
Finally, the Star Beast's sharp teeth bit down.
In an instant, the Star Beast launched four consecutive attacks. The timing of each attack was perfect, and there were no superfluous movements in each attack. It was purely for the sake of killing the target. It used the most direct and most efficient method to kill the target.
Chu Mu had personally experienced the Star Beast's four consecutive attacks, and he was even more aware of the Star Beast's tyrannical strength.
The Star Beast's powerful physique and astonishing speed, in addition to the most efficient killing technique, could turn the Star Beast into a killing machine. This kind of technique had already surpassed many cultivators. In some aspects, even Chu Mu admitted that he was inferior.
However, Chu Mu still managed to dodge the Star Beast's four consecutive attacks by a hair's breadth. After all, his true strength was stronger than this Star Beast. If a Third Step Emperor Realm Star Beast launched four consecutive attacks, Chu Mu estimated that it would be more difficult for him to dodge.
After the four consecutive attacks missed, the Star Beast suddenly launched a fifth attack.
A ball of light suddenly emerged from the Star Beast's mouth. The ball of light seemed to be made up of countless colors, and it shot out endlessly. Chu Mu immediately felt his hair stand on end.
Third stage of the Truth Seeking Four Directions: Time!
The difference of a breath allowed Chu Mu to dodge the starlight shot out by the Star Beast.
The Starlight Rays that were everywhere on the battlefield were extremely harmful to cultivators below the Great Emperor Realm. The Starlight Rays that the Soldier Level Star Beasts spat out could erode and kill Great Emperor Realm experts.
The incomparably hard ground was bombarded by the starlight spewed out by the Star Beast and instantly split open. It was like a red-hot soldering iron falling on ice and snow, rapidly sinking in. Chu Mu's scalp went numb at the sight.
It wasn't just four consecutive attacks, but five consecutive attacks. Under normal circumstances, cultivators at the same cultivation level as the Star Beast would have a hard time dodging these attacks.
The Star Beast's strength was equivalent to a Peak Second Step Great Emperor, which was weaker than Chu Mu. If Chu Mu wanted to kill it, he only needed one strike. However, Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry to kill it. This was his first time encountering a Star Beast. His understanding of the Star Beast was very limited. Therefore, he wanted to experience it personally and understand it better. He also wanted to learn the Star Beast's combat skills and improve his own combat strength.
Under Chu Mu's sword, the Star Beast unleashed all of its strength to the extreme. It pounced on Chu Mu crazily and displayed its skills to the extreme. Every movement and every movement of its muscles was grasped by Chu Mu in great detail.
Since he was already familiar with all of this Star Beast's methods and grasped the technique of using its strength, Chu Mu did not plan to continue fighting with it. Star Beasts could constantly absorb the starlight in the air to replenish their energy consumption. Therefore, in places with starlight, Star Beasts would not know fatigue.
With the Myriad Heavens Golden Sword in his hand, Chu Mu casually pierced through the Star Beast. A tyrannical force swept out and destroyed the Star Beast's body.
The Star Beast was also a lifeform of flesh and blood. After being killed by Chu Mu, its blood flowed all over the ground. Its blood was red, but there were spots of bright light mixed in it. It looked like fluorescent powder.
"It's said that one of the rewards from killing Star Beasts is their crystal." Chu Mu thought. The Myriad Heavens Golden Sword was incomparably sharp. It cut open the Star Beast's body and dug out a crystal from its head.
This crystal was in the shape of a rhombus. It was transparent on the outside and contained countless kinds of light inside. Those lights flickered and were extremely beautiful.
The Star Beast Crystal contained pure Star Energy, but it was harmless to the human body. This kind of Star Energy could be absorbed by people to replenish their energy. It could also be used to increase their cultivation. The most important thing was that one could comprehend the Great Dao of Stars from the energy of the Star Beast Crystal.
The Great Dao of Stars was one of the high-end Great Daos. It was extremely profound and mysterious. Its might was astonishing.
Those who came to the battlefield were usually here to kill gods and devils. They were also here to kill Star Beasts. Although killing Star Beasts wouldn't give them any clan merit points, they could still obtain Star Beast Crystals. It was a good choice whether to use it or sell it.
Chu Mu sensed a little. This piece of Star Beast Crystal had reached Intermediate Grade Four. The Star Energy it contained was rather dense and pure. However, he planned to take more and use the Star Beast Crystal to comprehend the Great Dao of Stars. He wanted to perfect the Great Dao of Stars in his Myriad Heavens Sword Dao and condense the Myriad Heavens Stellar Sword.
The more Myriad Heavens Swords he condensed, the deeper Chu Mu's comprehension of the Myriad Heavens Sword Dao would be. This was a process that complemented each other.
Similarly, the more Myriad Heavens Swords he condensed, the stronger the Myriad Heavens Sword Spirit would be.
After collecting the Star Beast Crystal, Chu Mu moved forward again. After another day, Chu Mu arrived at a stronghold at the border of the Origin City. It was called the seventh stronghold.
The seventh stronghold was like a town. The people in the town came from various races in the Origin World. Most of them were Great Emperors. There was also a small group of Sovereign Realm experts who took turns to guard the stronghold.
The stronghold was surrounded by a special kind of wood. This kind of wood was called the Star Ironwood. It was extremely hard. Even a Third Step Great Emperor might not be able to break it. However, other than being hard, the Star Ironwood didn't have any other uses. It wasn't difficult to find it on the battlefield. Therefore, it was used as a wall.
Chu Mu was a human cultivator. Naturally, he could enter the seventh stronghold easily. Along the way, he saw many stalls hawking their wares. The people who set up the stalls were all Great Emperors. This scene was very interesting. It was like a market for mortals. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that Great Emperors with high status in the Origin World would actually set up stalls to sell their wares.
Of course, the items on the stalls of Great Emperors weren't ordinary.
There was Star Iron, which could be used to forge swords, other weapons, and secret treasures. There were also Star Beast Crystals, fragments of weapons, and so on. It was very complicated.
The common currency for transactions was clan merit points. Clan merit points could be used by all races because they could be exchanged with each other.
Chu Mu slowed down his footsteps. As he walked past, he carefully looked at the stalls on both sides to see if there was anything useful for him. What he needed was something that could increase his cultivation speed, or something that could help perfect the All Heavens Sword Dao, or something that could help condense the All Heavens Sword.
"My purpose in coming to the Yuan Spirit Battlefield is to train myself in life and death battles. The ultimate goal of training is to make myself stronger." Chu Mu thought to himself. "Since that's the case, if there are any suitable treasures, I naturally won't let them go."
Unfortunately, Chu Mu walked along and looked at all the stalls. However, he didn't find anything useful. Indeed, Star Beast Crystals were useful. However, he could obtain them by hunting. There was no need to use clan merit points to buy them. As for the metals, it wasn't that Chu Mu didn't need them. It was just that there wasn't enough to satisfy Chu Mu.
Walking along the way, Chu Mu soon reached the exit of the seventh foothold and directly headed outside.
A low-level Second Step Emperor Realm entering and leaving didn't attract any attention. This was very normal. Even a Third Step Emperor Realm expert entering and leaving was a very common thing.
Perhaps in many places in the Origin World, Emperor Realm experts were rarely seen. However, in the Yuan Spirit Battlefield, they were the most numerous group.
In this place, only those who had reached the Sovereign Realm would attract more attention. As for half-God Sovereigns, no matter where they went, they would be the center of attention. Of course, under normal circumstances, it was impossible to see half-God Sovereigns appearing.
Walking out of the foothold's entrance, Huang Xiaolong continued to walk forward. It was the central zone of the Origin City and Divine City. It didn't belong to either Divine City or Origin City. It was also the place with the highest number of Star Beasts. It was also the place where the God Race and the various races of the Origin World were the most active.
Soon, Chu Mu stepped into the central zone of the Yuan Spirit Battlefield. The baleful qi here was denser than other places. Because of the frequent battles and massacres.
Chu Mu's speed wasn't slow. He quickly went deep into the central zone.
Along the way, he didn't encounter the God Race first. Instead, he encountered many humans and other races, such as the Vajra Race, the Human Soldier Race, the Beastmen Race, and so on. There were also some Emperor Realm experts from small races.
Every one of them carried a killing intent and fiendish aura. It was extremely shocking. Their eyes were cold and when they looked over, it was as if they were looking at prey. When they passed by, the terrifying killing intent and fiendish aura pervaded the air, causing Chu Mu to be on high alert.
These people were all Emperor Realm experts. Moreover, they were the kind of Emperor Realm experts who had experienced many life and death battles. The application of their strength was no small matter. They weren't easy to deal with. Chu Mu didn't dare to let his guard down.
One had to know that in a place like the Yuan Spirit Battlefield, especially in a place like the central zone, all rules and regulations were useless. There was no binding force at all.
Perhaps the real enemy was the God Race. However, it didn't exclude the possibility of the various races of the Origin World killing each other. Everything was as long as there were enough benefits.
Since ancient times, there were many examples of relatives and friends plotting against each other and killing each other for the sake of benefits.
To put it cruelly, in a place like the Yuan Spirit Battlefield, it was difficult to find someone you could trust other than yourself.
