The Ten Thousand Killing Array was an illusion array, an incomparably mystical illusion array.
Within the Ten Thousand Killing Array, one would constantly encounter enemies of all shapes and sizes. Each enemy would require one to display a formidable sword skill in order to kill them. But within the Ten Thousand Killing Array, no matter how many sword skills one used, there would be no consumption.
In other words, within the Ten Thousand Killing Array, one was like a perpetual motion machine that could crazily display sword skills.
After each sword skill was created, it was not perfect. It had to be constantly perfected, and the process of perfection was usually the process of displaying it.
Again and again, one would display a sword skill against an enemy. Again and again, one would feel the inadequacies, and again adjust and improve. After many times, the sword skill would become more and more perfect. It would become smoother and smoother, and the power would become more formidable, and the consumption would become smaller.
However, for each sword skill to be created to perfection, even those monstrous geniuses would have to spend a lot of time. Under normal circumstances, a normal swordsman would need at least seven or eight years, or even more.
The appearance of the Ten Thousand Killing Array was tantamount to speeding up this process.
Think about it, in a normal battle, one would display a sword skill at most a dozen times. If one continued to display it, it would create a burden on one's body and cause damage. Not only that, but such a battle was very intense, and was not common.
Within the Ten Thousand Killing Array, one could continuously display a sword skill. 10 times, 50 times, 100 times, 500 times, or even 1000 times, or even 10,000 times.
Every time one displayed a sword skill, one could carefully feel the inadequacies, think about it, improve it, display it again, and improve it again, and so on.
Without a doubt, if one followed a normal progression, then every improvement would make a swordsman happy. But within the Ten Thousand Killing Array, the initial improvement would make one happy, but after a long time, it would cause one to collapse.
To continuously do the same thing over and over again, this was an extremely challenging matter to one's patience.
The manager of the Ten Thousand Killing Array was a 60 year old swordsman. He looked at the time, and his face was full of amazement.
"I've already been in the Ten Thousand Killing Array for 10 days, this is incredible …"
In the Enlightenment Pagoda, one would enter a meditative state. When one woke up, they would discover that many days had passed, but it seemed like only a second had passed.
But within the Ten Thousand Killing Array, one could clearly feel the passage of time. Not only that, but one would constantly face powerful enemies, constantly fighting, constantly displaying sword skills.
Generally, when a swordsman entered the Ten Thousand Killing Array, they would only stay for a day before leaving. They would rest and adjust themselves before entering again. Those swordsmen with a more resolute will and a stronger will would often stay for two or three days.
So far, according to the records of the managers of the Ten Thousand Killing Array, the most time was five days.
Chu Mu had already been in the Ten Thousand Killing Array for ten days.
"To think that he has such a crazy cultivation method. No wonder he was able to kill Yang Lianfeng with a single sword." The old man sighed again, feeling heartfelt admiration.
Within the Ten Thousand Killing Array, there were more and more enemies. Chu Mu's thoughts flashed like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had already subconsciously responded, sword after sword.
Streaks of deep purple auroras shot out. Each streak of purple auroras was sure to pierce through a powerful enemy and kill them instantly.
Chu Mu activated his footwork, pushing his Flying Swan Illusory Steps to the extreme. The Void Profound and the Void Profound were mixed into his footwork. Chu Mu's body sometimes became light and silent, and sometimes became illusory. It was hard to tell if he was real or not.
He drew his sword!
He drew his sword!
He drew his sword!
Bipolar!
Armor Break!
A sword skill of a swordsman, and a sword skill of a swordsman. Alternating, he could instantly kill a powerful enemy.
Chu Mu was like a crazy demon. He had already forgotten the passage of time, everything around him, and everything outside the Ten Thousand Killing Array. He was completely immersed in the slaughter.
His instinct was to calculate, think, adjust, and improve each time he used a sword skill. The next time he drew his sword, there would be subtle changes, and he would slowly approach the road of perfection.
For ten days, Chu Mu did not know how many times he had used Bipolar and Armor Break. He only used it again and again, because in this place, there was no consumption, and there was no burden on his body.
As for the pressure on the spiritual plane, because Chu Mu's soul was very powerful, his mind was also very powerful. In addition, he had completely entered into a state of slaughter, and had forgotten everything, so he could not feel it.
He thrust his sword out again, and a deep purple auroras shot out. Vaguely, one could see the lines of the purple auroras become clearer. This meant that the Bipolar sword skill was close to perfection.
Time passed.
The eleventh day passed, and Chu Mu was still immersed in the slaughter.
The twelfth day passed, and Chu Mu was still in the slaughter.
The thirteenth day passed, and the old man managing the Ten Thousand Killing Array had a serious and dignified expression. He could no longer maintain his calm.
Half of the fourteenth day passed, and in the afternoon, a figure walked out from the Ten Thousand Killing Array.
As if it came from hell, as if it came from the abyss, this figure's body naturally emitted a monstrous aura of slaughter. It was like a raging storm, a raging flood, vast and endless.
Surrounded by this murderous aura, no one could clearly see the face of this figure. Who was he?
This was because the expressions of the swordsmen changed drastically when they sensed the seemingly material Slaughter Qi. They were extremely horrified and abnormally shocked. All of them hurriedly used movement techniques to retreat far away from the area enveloped by the Slaughter Qi. It was even to the extent that when they looked at the figure, they only felt that the scene before them was like an asura hell. Even their souls were sucked out and fell into it, sinking into it and consigning themselves to eternal damnation.
The old man managing the Ten Thousand Killing Array quickly walked out. His strength was comparable to a high level Sword Hunter, but he couldn't help but feel horrified. His entire body was surrounded by this murderous aura, as if he were drowning and suffocating.
In a split second, the old man only felt the other party's eyes looking at him. In that moment, he only saw a pair of very bright eyes, as if they were demonic eyes of slaughter that had opened in the abyss. His soul was almost frozen, and his body was motionless, unable to move.
He didn't know when, but the old man woke up. He discovered that the figure had already left. Only the residual murderous aura was still hovering in the air, gradually dissipating.
"So terrifying …" The old man recalled that pair of demonic eyes of slaughter, and his entire body involuntarily trembled.
A legend began to circulate within the Sacred Wild City. There was a terrifying slaughterer that had walked out from the Ten Thousand Killing Array. On that day, the swordsmen that had personally felt that terrifying murderous aura had left a deep impression on them.
They all guessed, who was this person? How long had he stayed in the Ten Thousand Killing Array?
However, the old man managing the Ten Thousand Killing Array didn't say anything, so no one knew. This became a legend.
…
"Armor Piercing and Dual Polarity have already reached perfection. From now on, the increase in power is directly related to my Sword Origin cultivation, Sword Intent, Mountain Quaking Energy, Mountain Piercing Energy, and so on …"
"… It's just that I haven't created a new sword skill yet. Fortunately, there are already some embryonic forms."
In his own room, Chu Mu put aside the matters of cultivation, relaxed his mind, and slept well. The murderous aura that seemed to have materialized all over his body quickly faded away. When he woke up the next morning, he moved around a bit, and practiced the basic sword skills several times. Then, Chu Mu went out to eat a delicious meal, and then went to the location of the auction.
On the tenth day that Chu Mu stayed in the Ten Thousand Killing Array to practice, the news of the Sacred Wild City's auction began to spread. In a short five days, the auction had caused a wave of excitement.
This was because the Sacred Wild City hadn't held an auction for more than a dozen years. It was said that the auction this time would be very grand, and there would be many, many treasures that would be auctioned. Many swordsmen planned to show off their skills at this auction.
The auction was held in the underground training grounds of the Sacred Sword Guards. It was the largest area in the entire Sacred Wild City. In just half a month, it was reconstructed and divided into two floors.
The first floor was the ordinary area, and was filled with chairs. The second floor was the VIP area. There were only 100 individual rooms, and each room corresponded to 100 VIP invitations.
"Chu Mu, you have a VIP invitation in your hand, right? I will give you 1 million top grade spirit stones, give me the VIP invitation." As Chu Mu walked to the entrance of the auction, he was stopped by a swordsman. This middle-aged swordsman had a centipede-shaped scar on the left side of his face as he directly spoke. His cheek twitched, and the scar seemed to come alive, making people afraid.
"100 million top grade spirit stones." Chu Mu looked at the swordsman and lightly said.
"Chu Mu, don't think that you are invincible just because you killed Yang Lianfeng with a single sword strike. In my eyes, you are far from qualified." The centipede-scarred swordsman's complexion changed, becoming as black as the bottom of a pot. As he threatened, a fiendish aura burst out, as if a wild beast was roaring.
Chu Mu didn't care. He walked to the entrance of the auction and took out the VIP invitation. Immediately, someone came to lead the way for him. This was the special treatment of having a VIP invitation.
As for why someone knew that he had a VIP invitation, this wasn't strange. It had already been half a month since Su Haosha had sent someone to deliver the VIP invitation. If he hadn't deliberately blocked the news, then most likely it would have been known by others.
"Sir, that person just now is the infamous Zhou Zhixiong. He has the strength of an intermediate level Sword Hunter. His nickname is Violent Dragon. It means that his temper is very violent and his strength is very strong. He is as fierce as a Violent Dragon." The person who led the way for Chu Mu was a Qi Hai swordsman. He seemed to be trying to find a topic to talk about or to build a relationship. He explained to Chu Mu.
"Violent Dragon …" Chu Mu repeated and nodded.
If it was before, he would have been worried if he was at the peak of an intermediate level Sword Hunter. But now, with the strength of a peak intermediate level Sword Hunter, even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still easily escape.
Seeing that Chu Mu didn't seem to want to continue talking, the swordsman who was leading the way was very tactful. He didn't keep talking and obediently led the way for Chu Mu.
In such a grand auction, it was very lucky to be arranged to welcome the guests. If any of the guests were to be dissatisfied, then the consequences would be very bad. (To be continued.
