(Fourth Update, Time to Wash Up and Sleep)
A great opportunity to break through to the Qi Hai realm was given up by Chu Mu. If other swordsmen knew about this, especially those who had been stuck at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm for many years, they would probably kill themselves or fight Chu Mu to the death.
Breaking through to the Qi Hai realm was much harder than breaking through to the Qi Transformation Realm. There were many obstacles and bottlenecks. Therefore, many swordsmen were stuck at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm and could not break through to the Qi Hai realm for many years.
Swordsmen's time was very precious. Breaking through a year earlier meant that they had a higher chance of becoming stronger. Therefore, swordsmen would usually break through as soon as they got the opportunity.
Because when they got the opportunity to break through, they would let nature take its course. They would not force it, and there would not be any side effects.
But Chu Mu had his own ideas. He had to break through to the Ninth Transformation Realm before he could break through to the Qi Hai realm.
To him, breaking through to the Qi Hai realm was not difficult. As long as he finished the Ninth Transformation, he would be able to break through to the Qi Hai realm.
Now, because of the pressure brought by the Blood Sword Fen Lie and the stimulation that Chu Mu received, Chu Mu gave up on the opportunity to break through to the Qi Hai realm. He planned to follow his original plan and finish the Ninth Transformation Realm first before breaking through to the Qi Hai realm.
Whether it was Duanmu Xing Kong's words or his own intuition, Chu Mu planned to do this. He felt that there would only be benefits and no harm.
Since that was the case, why not give up?
In an instant, Chu Mu rushed out of the cave and looked around. He then quickly went up the Chaoyao Mountain.
If he went down the Chaoyao Mountain back to the Chaoyao Plain, it would be a smooth journey and he would be easily caught by the Blood Sword Fen Lie. But if he went up the mountain, not only would the terrain be rugged, there would also be stronger monsters.
After ten breaths of time, a bloody light rushed out of the cave and stopped outside. It was the Blood Sword Fen Lie.
His eyes flickered with blood-red light, and there was an unusual shade of red on his sickly white face. Light gathered and flickered in his eyes as he swept his gaze across the area. Then, he looked towards Chaoyao Mountain, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
With a sway of his body, Fen Lie once again transformed into a streak of bloody light as he swiftly headed up the Chaotic Demon Mountain. Shockingly, he was heading in the direction that Chu Mu had left in.
After about three breaths of time, the sound of something breaking through the air suddenly rang out in the sky. The sound was so loud that it was as if an airplane was flying across the sky, bringing with it a series of sharp roars.
Following that, several extremely terrifying auras descended. The light in the mountain forest within a radius of ten miles outside the cave suddenly dimmed, as if it had suddenly turned from noon to dusk. Moreover, it made people feel oppressed and their hearts palpitate. The surrounding demonic beasts didn't even dare to move. One by one, they crawled on the ground, as if even the trees and grass were bent.
The air seemed to have frozen.
Blood Sword Fen Lie, who was chasing after Chu Mu, felt the sudden terrifying aura. His entire body froze as his expression changed greatly. He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky. The bloody light in his eyes became abnormally dense, almost piercing through the sky. His hands were tightly clenched into fists as his entire body trembled.
Origin Realm!
That's right. Fen Lie was incomparably certain that this was the aura of an Origin Realm expert. Only an Origin Realm expert could release such an aura that was unparalleled.
Furthermore, Fen Lie felt that the aura of an Origin Realm expert wasn't just one, but several. In other words, there were several Origin Realm experts rushing towards this place.
This was only a relatively ordinary cave. Why would an Origin Realm expert rush over?
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, a few figures suddenly appeared in the sky. They instantly stopped a few hundred meters above him. Because they were moving too fast and suddenly stopped, they brought along a strong air current that whistled and attacked. It was as if a tsunami was surging violently. Under the collision, waves of terrifying roars could be heard.
Under the impact of this air current, it was as if the waves of the sea were rushing towards him. It actually gave Blood Sword Fen Lie the illusion that the sky was about to be destroyed. The trees within a ten mile radius were also crazily swaying and bending under the impact of this air current. It was as if they were being swept up by a storm and were about to be uprooted.
Broken branches and leaves filled the sky as they whistled and swept towards the horizon. It was as if dragons and snakes were dancing chaotically.
The arrival of an Origin Realm expert was unparalleled!
Fen Lie clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. His nails pierced into his flesh, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of pain. His white face was filled with green veins that bulged out one by one, and blood was seeping out of his gums.
The arrival of an Origin Realm expert was unparalleled, causing the weather to change. At the same time, it also brought along an incomparably huge pressure. This pressure was as terrifying as the collapse of a mountain. Even the space had turned dark because of the pressure. How could Fen Lie, who was only at the Qi Hai realm, resist it?
However, Fen Lie thought highly of himself. If it wasn't because of his age, he wouldn't be able to become a Sword Hero. Otherwise, he would have already obtained the title of Sword Hero at the Eastern Sage Sub Palace.
One year. It was only a difference of one year. Not being able to become a Sword Hero was a heavy blow to Fen Lie.
Now, facing the pressure of an Origin Realm expert, Fen Lie chose to resist instead of submitting. He was unwilling to submit just like that. His entire body was trembling and even his bones were letting out creaking sounds.
Similar to Fen Lie, Chu Mu was also resisting.
He ran further away, so the pressure he was enduring was obviously not as much as Fen Lie. However, Chu Mu's cultivation was also far inferior to Fen Lie's. Thus, Chu Mu's current suffering was not any less than Fen Lie's.
It was as if the collapse of the heavens and the earth was about to crush him into mincemeat. This kind of terror caused his bones to let out creaking sounds. If it wasn't for the fact that his bones had been tempered by the Desolation Transformation, Chu Mu's bones and internal organs would have been injured under this kind of terrifying pressure.
If he were to look within himself, Chu Mu would definitely be able to see that there were clear marks on his internal organs, bones, and meridians. They looked like cracks, but they weren't. These were the marks left behind after the Desolation Transformation. They would normally disappear and would only appear when there was an incomparably huge pressure.
"Even if it's a real landslide, don't even think of making me submit!"
Chu Mu roared in his heart. He continued to gather all the energy in his body. His essence, energy, and spirit were all condensed into one. His entire body's aura was incomparably sharp, as if it had turned into a sword pointing towards the heavens.
Unyielding, unforgiving, and would rather break than bend!
Dacheng's Peak Sword Force burst forth and pointed towards the heavens, as if it wanted to pierce through the heavens.
The aura of several Yuan Realm experts poured down continuously like a huge waterfall. Chu Mu straightened his back bit by bit, and the Sword Force seemed to have become even stronger.
Dacheng's Peak Sword Force was the limit that Chu Mu could reach at the moment. If he wanted to break through to the Perfection Stage, he would have to break through to the Qi Hai Realm. Breaking through from the Qi Transformation Realm to the Qi Hai Realm was not only an increase in strength, it was also an indirect transformation, a transformation of life.
Thus, no matter how much he improved, Chu Mu's Sword Force would not be able to break through to the Perfection Stage. Once it broke through to the Perfection Stage, it would mean that he would be injured, an injury that could not be healed.
At this moment, Chu Mu's Sword Force was like a sword embryo, and the aura of several Yuan Realm experts were like a blazing hammer. This blazing hammer hammered on the sword embryo again and again, and every time it hammered on the sword embryo, the impurities in the sword embryo would be removed bit by bit, causing the sword embryo to become even harder and more resilient, moving towards the embryonic form of a treasured sword.
Other than Chu Mu, Blood Sword Fen Lie also benefited from the confrontation, but he was also injured.
After all, Fen Lie was not Chu Mu. He did not have the Desolate Sky Sword Physique to withstand such a huge pressure.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out. Immediately after, the terrifying aura weakened a lot, reaching a level that both Fen Lie and Chu Mu could withstand.
In an instant, after losing the huge pressure, Chu Mu and Fen Lie's aura suddenly soared to the sky, as if two sword Qis were shattering the void.
"That must be the so-called Blood Sword. Not bad indeed."
"Who's the other little guy?"
Normally, swordsmen who could cultivate to the Yuan Realm were not young. There were at least fifty or sixty years old, and there were even some who were over a hundred years old. It was normal to call a swordsman like Chu Mu, who was not even twenty years old, a little guy.
"I don't know."
"I don't know what kind of power he is from, but he must have an extraordinary background."
After the few Yuan Realm swordsmen in the sky casually spoke a few words, they turned around and flew towards the cave, disappearing with a swoosh.
As the Yuan Realm swordsmen disappeared, the terrifying aura that enveloped a radius of ten miles also disappeared. Immediately after, the turbulent storm also rapidly weakened. In the end, it merged with the mountain wind and blew past, causing the leaves to rustle.
"Looks like that cave is indeed not ordinary. It even made Yuan Realm experts take action. There must be a peerless treasure inside." Chu Mu stared at the empty sky, his heart still lingering in the shock from before.
Soon after, with a flash, Chu Mu turned into a stream of light and quickly left. His speed was even faster than before.
Just as Blood Sword Fen Lie was about to chase after Chu Mu again, his body moved and he staggered, almost falling forward. He was not Chu Mu. Although his sword aura had been sharpened in the confrontation just now, his internal organs and bones had more or less suffered some injuries.
Fen Lie's eyes were filled with a bloody light as he stared in the direction Chu Mu went, as if he was in deep thought.
"I'll let you live a little longer." Fen Lie said to himself. At this moment, it was possible for him to continue chasing after Ye Xiwen. He was confident that he could catch up and kill Ye Xiwen, but that would only worsen his injuries. Moreover, fighting against the aura of several Yuan Realm swordsmen was a rare experience. If he did not take advantage of this opportunity to comprehend it, it would be a waste if he missed it.
Think about it, Yuan Realm swordsmen were all high and mighty experts. They usually lived in seclusion and rarely came out. Moreover, even if they did, they might not release their aura to help you refine your sword aura. Why would they?
Moreover, there were several Yuan Realm experts just now. Every one of them had a different aura. When they mixed together, they did not specifically target him. It was just enough to push him to his limit without exceeding it by much. It was a very suitable way to refine his sword aura.
After recovering slightly, Fen Lie turned into a stream of bloody light and disappeared. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
