Hundreds of meters up in the sky, a brilliance that was even more resplendent than a meteor flashed past. A figure in the sky suddenly trembled. His eyes widened, and his eyeballs protruded. He was filled with disbelief and fear. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make any sound.
With a bang, as if a large amount of explosives had been stuffed into his body, Chang Zizai's body exploded after trembling. He turned into flesh and blood that splashed in all directions, creating a torrential rain.
The figure that had shot straight into the sky stopped after rushing up dozens of meters, and then quickly fell down.
With a continuous sizzling sound, Chu Mu's body trembled continuously in the air. Small streams of blood shot out like arrows, drawing traces in the air and splashing in all directions. In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu was covered in blood.
Rapidly falling, with a burst of ear-piercing wind, Chu Mu's body fell like a meteor.
Falling from hundreds of meters in such a heavily injured state, without any protection, the result was death.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu fell more than a hundred meters. The wind whistled past his ears, and the corner of his eyes seemed to be able to catch a glimpse of a white stream of air rushing into the sky.
Tired, very tired, and there was no part of his body that did not hurt. Every muscle seemed to be torn apart, and the slightest movement would cause unbearable pain.
But Chu Mu's consciousness was still clear enough. He knew that if he did not do anything, once he really landed, even if he did not die, he would most likely be injured even more. Once he fainted, he would most likely die.
Resisting the pain all over his body, Chu Mu used the sword Qi wings on his back that were about to dissipate. He gently flapped them, and his falling momentum paused, then slowly circled around like a leaf falling to the ground.
The heart of the Heaven Wasteland Transformation was constantly beating, and waves of blood flowed through his body. The remaining ancient Heaven Wasteland Pellet in his dantian was also releasing traces of pure Heaven Wasteland Qi.
Wherever the Heavenly Wasteland Qi passed, the injured parts of the body would feel as if a clear stream had washed over them, giving them a sense of comfort.
Forcefully enduring the waves of exhaustion that assaulted him until he was about to faint, Chu Mu sat cross-legged on the barren ground. He placed the Profound Star Sword to the side and focused his mind to mobilize the Heavenly Desolate Aura in his dantian, consciously repairing the wounds in his body.
The first use of the Heaven Desolate Pill was to treat internal and external injuries. However, Chu Mu had obtained the Heaven Desolate Sword Record, so the Heaven Desolate Pill had a second use.
Currently, Chu Mu was not cultivating the Sky Desolation Sword Physique. Instead, he was using the few remaining Ancient Sky Desolation Elixirs in his Dantian to heal his internal injuries.
As time passed, Chu Mu's injuries slowly healed under the effects of the Ancient Heaven Desolate Pill's pure Heaven Desolate Qi.
If it wasn't for the remnant of the Ancient Tianhuang Pill in his body, Chu Mu didn't know how long it would take for him to recover some of his mobility before he could take out the Tianhuang Pill from his space bracelet.
It should be known that he was holding on with his willpower just now. Being able to control the Sword Qi wings on his back and sit cross-legged was already his limit.
About an hour passed. Although the injuries in his body had not healed, they were no longer as painful as before.
An hour also allowed Chu Mu to recover a little. The feeling of fainting had disappeared, but he was still very tired.
After recovering his basic mobility, Chu Mu took out the Qi Recovery Elixir and threw it into his mouth to restore the Sword Qi that was almost exhausted. The Ancient Heaven Desolate Pill was still constantly releasing pure Heaven Desolate Qi to heal his injuries.
In a flash, another hour passed. Half of his injuries were healed, and some of his mental fatigue had also disappeared. Chu Mu immediately got up. He knew that it would take more time to recover to his peak state.
But in this barren land, if he encountered other swordsmen, they might be tempted to attack him. With his current state, perhaps a swordsman in the Great Perfection of Qi Transformation would be enough for him.
After getting up, Chu Mu glanced around and fixed his eyes on the Cold Water Sword stuck in the hard ground hundreds of meters away and the space bracelet dozens of meters away from the Cold Water Sword. These were all Chang Zizai's things, but now they were Chu Mu's trophies.
Quickly putting away the Cold Water Sword and Chang Zizai's low-grade space bracelet, Chu Mu immediately performed the Flashing Wind Shadow movement and quickly headed in the direction of the mining area.
He held a mid-grade spirit stone in each hand. The Heaven Origin Sword Qi was slowly moving, constantly absorbing the pure Spirit Qi within the spirit stone to restore his Heaven Origin Sword Qi. The Ancient Heaven Desolate Pellet was also automatically releasing pure Heaven Desolate Qi to heal his injuries. He believed that by the time he returned to the mining area, his injuries would have recovered a little.
The Flashing Wind Shadow movement was an advanced movement technique. Its speed was indeed not as fast as a transcendent movement technique, nor was it as fast as the Heaven Traversing Secret Art. However, its advantage was that it consumed very little Sword Qi, and the burden on the body was also very small, almost negligible. It was just right for Chu Mu to perform at the moment.
As he hurried, Chu Mu recalled the battle between him and Chang Zizai.
It was an extremely unfair battle. It was a battle with a great disparity in strength, but in the end, Chu Mu won, and Chang Zizai did not even have a corpse left.
It had to be said that Chu Mu's victory in the end was thirty percent due to luck and seventy percent due to strength.
Thirty percent was due to Chang Zizai's underestimation of Chu Mu. If Chang Zizai had used his Earth Realm Ancient Sword Art right from the start, Chu Mu would have been killed by his sword.
Unfortunately, Chang Zizai was a cruel person. While he underestimated Chu Mu, he also wanted to torture Chu Mu to vent his anger after being offended twice before killing Chu Mu. This gave Chu Mu the perfect opportunity.
Of course, thirty percent was still just luck. If Chu Mu did not have enough trump cards and power, he would not have been able to kill Chang Zizai even if he was extremely lucky. He would have died under Chang Zizai's sword in the end, and everything would have become Chang Zizai's.
The Spirit Devouring Great Art, the Dacheng Sword Form, the Ripping mentality, the Stone Shaking Power, the Extreme Rank Profound Sword, the first and second stage of the Heaven Traversing Secret Art, the Sonic Sword Art, and many more.
The Heaven Traversing Secret Art allowed Chu Mu's speed to reach the extreme in one breath. It was close to the speed of sound, and even a Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist would have a hard time catching up to him.
As for the Sonic Sword Art, as the name suggested, it was a sword that could reach the speed of sound.
Although many Sword Artists seemed to be very fast and were often described as fast as lightning, but in reality, their speed was far from reaching the speed of sound, let alone the speed of lightning. It was just that people's vision and reaction would not be able to catch up to the speed of sound, so it was described as lightning.
Even a Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist would have a hard time swinging a sword that was close to the speed of sound, let alone a real Sonic Sword Art.
In fact, Chu Mu knew that his Sonic Sword Art was only at the beginning stage. Therefore, the speed of his sword was not close to the speed of sound, but rather close.
However, close to the speed of sound and reaching the speed of sound were two completely different levels.
If Chu Mu's sword had really reached the speed of sound, then he would not have been able to kill Chang Zizai. His body would not have been able to withstand the pressure of the air and would have exploded before he could kill Chang Zizai.
It had to be said that this was actually a kind of luck.
Approaching Chang Zizai with a speed that was close to the speed of sound, and then swinging a sword that was close to the speed of sound, combined with the Space Shattering Blade and the Minor Success of the Seismic Stone Art, it was so terrifying that Chang Zizai could not resist it.
This kind of sword could even threaten a Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist like Dacheng, and Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm.
Thinking about it, if Chu Mu's Sword Qi had reached the Qi Hai Realm, then even a Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist like Dacheng would not be able to survive under this sword.
The price was also huge, and that was the burden on the body. If it was not for the Desolate Qi that strengthened the body, Chu Mu might have exploded and died.
"Everything is linked, and not a single one can be missing." Chu Mu said to himself, as if everything was predestined.
If he did not enter the Desolate City, then he would not have offended Chang Zizai. Similarly, if he did not enter the Desolate City, then his Sword Force would not have been able to break through to the Dacheng Realm in such a short period of time. Everything was so unpredictable.
"Although Sword Force and Sword Intent do not rely on Sword Qi, without Sword Qi, there is still a lack of support, and it will be difficult to fully unleash the power. As for secret techniques, they cannot be separated from Sword Qi. In the end, Sword Qi cultivation is the foundation."
"The difference between my cultivation and Chang Zizai's is too big. Fortunately, I have the Spirit Devouring Technique. Otherwise, no matter how many secret techniques I have in this battle, I will still die."
The Spirit Devouring Technique was an ability that evolved from Chu Mu's Sword Qi. It was similar to a talent ability.
When he broke through from the half-step Qi Transformation Realm to the Qi Transformation Realm, his Sword Qi disappeared and was replaced by the Spirit Devouring Technique.
The Spirit Devouring Technique only had one use, and that was to instantly recover his Sword Qi.
As long as one was in a place where there was spiritual Qi and it was not so thin that it was difficult to sense, once one performed the Spirit-Devouring Great Skill, one would be able to instantly absorb all the spiritual Qi within a radius of 10,000 meters and convert it into one's own sword Qi.
As for the degree of recovery, it depended on the environment. The denser the Spirit Qi, the more it could be recovered. For example, he had recovered more than half of it just now, but it was all consumed when he used the secret technique.
This was the first time Chu Mu had used the Spirit Devouring Great Technique in battle. He also knew that after using it, he couldn't use it a second time in a short period of time. This time interval was about twenty four hours. As for why? He did not know.
In short, the Spirit Devouring Technique that could only be used once every 24 hours was one of his trump cards. Chu Mu would not use it unless he had no other choice.
In any case, Chu Mu had killed Chang Zizai. Although he was seriously injured, he had also obtained a lot of good things.
What Chu Mu cared about was Chang Zizai's sword. It was able to communicate with the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth and was extremely powerful. Such a method was not something that the Qi Transformation Realm could compare with.
Breaking through from the Sword Qi Realm to the Qi Transformation Realm required one to communicate with the outside world. From there, one could absorb Spirit Qi from the outside world into the body and refine it into Sword Qi to increase and recover one's cultivation. In the Qi Sea Realm, one would be able to increase one's foundation and use the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to strengthen one's attacks during battle. (To be continued.)
