The golden radiance rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes as Chu Mu slashed out with his sword.
A clanging sound rang out and sparks flew. The golden radiance was shattered by Chu Mu's sword. Chu Mu felt the Demon Slaying Sword vibrate violently and almost flew out of his hand.
The second golden radiance broke through the air and almost connected with the first golden radiance. Chu Mu had no choice but to use the Flying Swan Illusory Sky Steps to dodge.
The third, fourth, and fifth golden radiance flew over in an extremely dangerous manner. Under the Flying Swan Illusory Sky Steps, Chu Mu's figure flew like a spirit in the clouds. The golden radiance tore through Chu Mu's Protective Sword Qi and almost flew past his body. Chu Mu could feel the threatening sharpness of the golden radiance. It was as if it was going to pierce through his body, causing his hair to stand on end.
The golden radiance missed and paused in midair. It was as if they were pulled by an invisible rope and changed their direction, once again shooting towards Chu Mu.
Landing on the ground, he swung the Demon Slaying Sword and five sword shadows broke through the air. It was as if Chu Mu had swung five swords at the same time, breaking apart the five sword radiance. Chu Mu only felt that his palm was being violently shaken, as if it was going to split open. It was extremely painful.
One had to know that after he had cultivated the first level of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Physique, all aspects of his body had improved by at least ten times. Furthermore, he had used the Force Dissipation Technique to dissipate most of the force. Under such circumstances, he still felt that his palm was about to split open. This was enough to show how powerful the golden radiance was.
Lu Yuan's face was solemn. His eyes flashed with a strong golden radiance as he controlled the five golden radiance to attack Chu Mu from afar.
The five golden rays were even more nimble than fish in the water. They changed unpredictably and went straight for Chu Mu. They came from every angle, splitting and splitting. Sometimes they formed a straight line to attack Chu Mu, while other times they attacked Chu Mu from five different angles.
Lu Yuan's control over the five golden rays was extremely high, but at the same time, it was very taxing on his mind.
The other five rays of golden light hovered around Lu Yuan, protecting him like loyal guards. Everyone could see that Lu Yuan still had some strength left. The five rays of golden light had already forced Chu Mu into a difficult situation. If all ten rays of golden light were released, they would definitely be able to defeat Chu Mu.
No one realized that their thoughts had changed. Originally, they thought that Chu Mu wouldn't be a match for Lu Yuan's sword. But now, they thought that Lu Yuan would have to go all out in order to defeat Chu Mu.
Chu Mu once again deflected the five golden rays that shot towards him at almost the same time. Now that he had grasped the pattern, he didn't suffer much of an impact this time.
"Very powerful, at least three times stronger than the Stone Shaking Wave Sword. Unfortunately, this sword technique has too many flaws." After a few exchanges, Chu Mu could see the flaws of the Ten Blades. "If it's perfected, its power can be increased by at least ten times."
If its power was increased by another ten times, then Chu Mu would definitely lose this time. Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
A true sword skill was a framework that required various components. Sword Qi, Concept, and Sword Force were all indispensable. Apart from Sword Qi, Concept, and Sword Force were all on the same level of power. As for sword Qi, from a certain perspective, it should be on the same level as the mentality and sword aura. If it was higher than the mentality and sword aura, then it would be even better. If it was lower than the mentality and sword aura, then it would affect the true power of the sword technique.
For example, once a sword artist reached the Qi Hai realm, he would naturally be able to understand the mentality and sword aura. It was like an accessory. Therefore, the sword technique created based on the mentality and sword aura would need to be at the Qi Hai realm to be able to release its full power.
Of course, if one used the sword aura of the Astral Realm to activate the sword technique, then its power would increase by a few folds. However, the sword aura was much more powerful than the sword Qi. It would not be able to achieve a balance with the sword aura and sword aura. In the end, it would destroy the integrity of the sword technique and make it less smooth.
With the same logic, the Ten Blades was a powerful sword technique created based on the sword aura. It needed to be at the same level as the sword aura in order to be able to achieve a balance. Naturally, that would be the sword aura and the mentality.
When one reached the Astral Realm, the sword Qi would turn into sword aura. When the mentality reached the completion stage, it would reach a higher level called profound.
In other words, for the Ten Blades sword technique to be complete, it would need to be a combination of sword aura, profound, and sword intent.
Right now, the Ten Blades was only a combination of five percent sword aura, sword aura, and mentality. It was also a combination that was forcefully combined. There was no technique to speak of. In other words, it could not be considered a sword technique. It was just an outline of a sword technique that was forcefully combined.
Even so, this sword technique's embryonic form had three times the power of the Stone Shaking Wave Sword. And this was under the condition that the five percent sword aura had not been fully utilized.
Lu Yuan should know this as well, but he had no way to solve it right now.
The mentality was easier to comprehend than the sword aura. Therefore, many sword artists who had comprehended the mentality could not comprehend the sword aura.
However, the profound and sword intent were different. After reaching the peak of the sword aura, as long as one had enough talent and some luck, it was not impossible to comprehend the sword intent. As for the profound, there was a strict rule that one had to reach the Ninth Transformation Realm first.
Every time a swordsman made a breakthrough in his cultivation, it was a metamorphosis from his spirit to his body. Every metamorphosis was a sublimation of his life essence. Comprehending the sword intent required a strong perception. Although comprehending the profound was partially dependent on talent, it still required a sublimation of one's life essence.
The Ninth Transformation Realm was the starting point for comprehending the profound. Before reaching the Ninth Transformation Realm, no matter who it was, no matter how monstrous, they would not be able to comprehend the profound. This was the iron rule.
Otherwise, Lie Kong Yang and the others who had comprehended the mentality to completion would have already comprehended the profound.
Chu Mu kept dodging and shattering the five golden lights, absorbing the pitiful advantages within them for his own use.
Seeing that the five golden lights could not do anything to Chu Mu, Lu Yuan clenched his teeth and waved his longsword. The other five golden lights around him trembled and shot out one after another.
Using all of his strength, Lu Yuan's forehead was covered in sweat. His face was pale, and he clenched his teeth as if he was under great pressure.
Under Lu Yuan's control, the ten golden streaks connected and shot into the sky. Like a dragon swimming in a circle, their speed was extremely fast. They circled around Lu Yuan's back and floated above Lu Yuan, locking onto Chu Mu like a dragon emerging from the water.
"Chu Mu, take my strongest move!" Lu Yuan roared. The veins on the back of his hand that was holding the sword were bulging. Even his palm was trembling. He waved his longsword, and the golden sword light shot towards Chu Mu with a terrifying sound. The air was pushed apart and countless ripples were created.
"Lu Yuan, since you've used all of your strength, I can't hold back either. This move is a new sword skill that I've created recently. It's a sword skill that hasn't been completed yet," Chu Mu said seriously. The Monster Slaying Sword was suddenly covered in a layer of dark golden light.
When everyone heard Chu Mu's words, they immediately straightened up, even though their bodies were already as straight as swords that pierced the sky.
"Although this sword skill hasn't been completed yet, I've already given it a name. It's called … Moon Slashing!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Monster Slaying Sword slashed forward.
A dark golden crescent moon sword energy that was only a few meters long tore through the air and slashed forward.
It looked very similar to the Seismic Wave Sword, but it was much smaller, only a few meters long. However, the power it contained was more than ten times that of the Seismic Wave Sword.
Moon Slashing!
This was the result of Chu Mu's sudden inspiration after comprehending the sword intent. It was also a brand new sword skill that was created through a special combination of sword intent, sword Qi, mentality, and the Seismic Wave.
This combination was different from Lu Yuan's forced combination. It was a combination that went with the flow. Therefore, it was more powerful than Lu Yuan's Ten Blades.
To be able to do this, one reason was due to Chu Mu's extremely powerful soul and comprehension ability. The other reason was due to the immense power of providence that he had. If not for the immense power of providence, Chu Mu would have needed at least a few months to reach this stage.
There was a clear difference between an incomplete sword skill and a sword skill prototype.
Now was the time to test the power of Chu Mu's incomplete sword skill.
The dark golden crescent moon sword energy was unbelievably powerful. The air in front of it was first compressed and then torn apart, forming terrifying ripples that spread out. The power of each ripple was at the level of the Seismic Wave Sword.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the dark golden crescent moon. In front of them, the world disappeared and fell into darkness. The dark golden crescent moon was like the only light, cutting through the dark sky and descending with destruction.
The dark golden crescent moon collided with the golden light.
Everyone felt as if there was a teeth-numbing crunch in their ears, as if a knife was slashing across glass.
Lu Yuan's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. He saw with his own eyes that the first ray of golden light was sliced apart by the dark golden crescent, followed by the second and third rays of golden light in less than a blink of an eye.
Unable to block it, Lu Yuan could only watch as the ten golden lights were cut in less than a hundredth of a second by the dark golden crescent moon. The dark golden crescent moon shrunk to half its original size and slashed towards Lu Yuan.
Fast, too fast, and there was no way to dodge.
Lu Yuan instinctively felt fear, the fear of death. He felt as if his throat was being choked, and he couldn't breathe. He had already used all his strength to perform the Ten Blades. The power of the Crescent Moon was too terrifying. The aura that locked onto him made it difficult for Lu Yuan to move.
In the next breath, Lu Yuan would be slashed by the dark golden crescent moon. With the power of the Crescent Moon, one could imagine that even if Lu Yuan had an extreme grade armor, he wouldn't be able to escape death.
Lu Yuan knew this as well. He tried his best to dodge, but at this moment, his body didn't listen to him at all.
The faces of the people from the Hidden Dragon Sword Palace changed drastically. The dark golden crescent moon was too fast, and they didn't even have time to save him.
In the blink of an eye, the moment the dark golden crescent moon broke through Lu Yuan's protective sword qi, a sword light fell from the sky.
With a pop, the dark golden crescent moon was shattered by the sword light, turning into countless dark golden light spots. Due to the inertia, they flew towards Lu Yuan and brushed past him, causing his black hair to dance wildly in the wind.
Lu Yuan stood rooted to the ground as if he was scared out of his wits. Chu Mu's face flashed with shock. Although the Crescent Moon was an incomplete sword skill, he knew how powerful it was. It was actually shattered by a sword light, and that sword light came from the sky. In other words, the one who made the move was Elder Long. (To be continued.)
