"I didn't expect you to have such strength. However, your path ends here." A voice sounded. A figure flashed and another person appeared on the battle arena.
"It's Lin Ye."
"Lin Ye from the Seven Sword Tower."
"Lin Ye is ranked twenty-ninth. However, his strength is many times stronger than Qiu Wugang. He only needs one sword to defeat Qiu Wugang. With him, Chu Mu will definitely lose."
"That's right. Moreover, Lin Ye is from the Seven Sword Tower. If he loses, the other members of the Seven Sword Tower won't just sit and watch. Maybe Hou Qingming will intervene."
"Once Hou Qingming intervenes, there will be a good show to watch."
Hou Qingming's strength was widely acknowledged. In the competition, he only used three swords to defeat the second place disciple. In the hearts of the inner disciples, Hou Qingming was an existence that they could only look up to.
Lin Ye already had a problem with Chu Mu. Before, he didn't want to fight because he didn't want to have a bad reputation for bullying the outer disciples. However, now that Chu Mu was arrogant enough to accept the challenge from all the inner disciples, it was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson. How could Lin Ye let it go?
"Don't be so arrogant." Chu Mu replied indifferently.
"You'll know soon enough whether I'm arrogant or not." Lin Ye didn't get angry. He only replied coldly.
With the sword in his hand, Lin Ye's aura changed immediately. It was extremely sharp like a storm, sweeping across the battle arena. His aura was truly unimaginable.
Once he made a move, it was earth-shattering.
The sword slashed out instantly. A green sword light broke through the air.
This was the sword light of the Human Sword Realm. It didn't look special, but all the power was highly concentrated, surpassing the limit of the Entry Realm.
One had to know that to comprehend the Human Sword Realm, one had to combine the Entry Realm, the Entry Realm, and the Entry Realm into one.
Strictly speaking, Extreme Threshold was the next level after Profound Threshold, and Profound Threshold was the next level after Preliminary Threshold. The three were closely related, and it was difficult for them to coexist. Just coexisting with all three was difficult enough, not to mention fusing them together.
Inner Palace disciples like Lin Ye had been in the Divine Condensation Realm for more than ten years. Their talent, comprehension, and potential far surpassed normal Divine Condensation Realm swordsmen, which was why they were able to comprehend the concept of becoming one with the sword.
Strictly speaking, none of the top thirty inner palace disciples were younger than sixty years old. However, due to their cultivation, they all looked very young, as if they were in their thirties or even younger.
The higher a swordsman's realm and the deeper his cultivation, the longer his lifespan would be. An Astral Realm swordsman could live for hundreds or thousands of years, so sixty years was nothing.
True Palace disciples were at least seventy years old, and many of the inner palace elders were over a hundred years old. True Palace elders were even older, being at least a few hundred years old.
The green sword light pierced through the air. It was the sword light under the state of becoming one with the sword. Although it was not as powerful as a sword skill, it was still not to be underestimated.
Under the Profound of Wind, Chu Mu's body moved rapidly, like a gust of wind. Just by using the Profound of Wind at the peak of the Seventh Transformation, Chu Mu's speed was already shockingly fast.
With the power of spirit sense and reaching the Divine Condensation Realm, he was able to use the Profound of Wind even more thoroughly.
The sword light missed and hit the seal, creating layers of ripples. Chu Mu had already unsheathed his sword and stabbed out, tearing through space. The tip of the sword carried a shocking sharpness as it pierced towards Lin Ye.
"Child's play." Lin Ye snorted disdainfully. He turned around and slashed at Chu Mu.
Although his swordsmanship was not as good as Chu Mu's, his control of power had reached the state of becoming one with the sword. The sword in his hand was like an extension of his arm, as if it had completely merged with his body. He could control the sword as if it was his own arm, without any hesitation.
The state of becoming one with the sword was not only reflected in its power, but also in its control of the sword.
It was as if the sword had been given life. It was displayed in Lin Ye's hand. Each move looked ordinary, but it contained unfathomable power. Under the state of becoming one with the sword, even the simplest basic swordsmanship would be imbued with astonishing power.
In an instant, Lin Ye counterattacked with more than a dozen swords. Each sword contained the power of the Profound of Wind. It was extremely powerful and fast, making it impossible to distinguish the sword's trajectory.
More than a dozen swords complemented each other, faintly forming a tornado, as if it wanted to tear Chu Mu apart.
Facing Lin Ye's sword, Chu Mu felt like he was suffocating. Not only was it fast, but it was also violent and difficult to deal with. He had no choice but to parry and retreat.
"With this kind of strength, you're delusional to be the Young Palace Master." Lin Ye attacked while attacking Chu Mu with his words.
Chu Mu was unmoved. He resisted each of Lin Ye's sword attacks, feeling the power of becoming one with the sword. Because of the repeated parries, his arm began to feel numb.
"Let me defeat you with my swordsmanship. I'll make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly." After more than a dozen swords, like a raging tornado, Lin Ye was still unable to defeat Chu Mu. Lin Ye was a little unhappy. He shouted in a low voice. Suddenly, his sword vibrated, and a blue light pierced through the void. The sword pierced through the center of the tornado. As he waved his sword, the tornado suddenly exploded, turning into a gust of wind that blew towards Chu Mu.
In the gust of wind, dozens of blue swords flew towards Chu Mu, leaving him with nowhere to dodge.
"He's going to lose."
"Sure enough, the top 30 is strong."
"Yeah, the difference in strength between those who have comprehended the state of becoming one with the sword is so obvious."
Lin Ye's sword skill made Chu Mu's expression turn serious. Indeed, according to the strength that Lin Ye had shown before, he was indeed unable to deal with it, even though his Profound was much better than Lin Ye's.
Exhaling, since there was no way to dodge, then he would use his sword to shatter this sword skill.
The sword seemed to have a life of its own, turning into a spirit. Suddenly, the eyes of the inner palace elders lit up.
"This is …"
"The state of becoming one with the sword!"
"That's right, this feeling is definitely the state of becoming one with the sword. Chu Mu has actually comprehended the state of becoming one with the sword … this … this …" The inner palace elders were astonished. The True Palace Elder and the Third Palace Master, who were watching the battle with their soul power, were also astonished.
They did not expect that Chu Mu, who had just broken through to the Divine Condensation Realm, would be able to control his strength to the state of becoming one with the sword.
If he wasn't wrong, Chu Mu's age shouldn't be over fifty years old.
Strictly speaking, Chu Mu's age should be around 40 years old.
With the man and sword as one, the peak seventh rank metal profound was unleashed. Even without sword intent, Chu Mu was still able to shatter the cyan sword rays one by one and break Lin Ye's sword technique, causing Lin Ye's face to be full of astonishment.
"Lin Ye's sword skill is not perfect, but it was broken like this. Chu Mu is too monstrous." Some of the inner palace elders thought to themselves.
After confirming that Chu Mu's control of his strength had reached the realm of One with the Sword, Lin Ye creased his eyebrows. His confidence in defeating Chu Mu instantly weakened a bit. Unknowingly, his aura also weakened a bit.
Chu Mu seized the opportunity and immediately counterattacked with his sword. Under the state of becoming one with the sword, coupled with his unpredictable sword skills, the power of his Sword Domain was even more terrifying.
The peak of the Seventh Revolution Gold Profound was unleashed to the extreme by Chu Mu. His footwork alternated between the Wind Profound and the Cloud Profound, making his body even more ethereal and unpredictable. As the state of becoming one with the sword, the sword was also affected and became ethereal. It was as if it was everywhere, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It was very shocking.
Lin Ye found himself trapped in a quagmire, unable to extricate himself. He could only block and dodge continuously, unable to counterattack.
Facing Chu Mu, he felt powerless.
The people below were dumbfounded. Not only did Chu Mu display the state of becoming one with the sword, which was the dream state of many swordsmen, but he also suppressed Lin Ye. It seemed that Lin Ye was not in a good condition.
Was this an illusion?
Everyone rubbed their eyes hard, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Hou Qingming frowned. The feeling of being extinguished emerged again, stronger than before, making him feel very uncomfortable.
As for Chu Mu, he had unknowingly entered the state that everyone envied, the state of epiphany.
The Gold Profound, Cloud Profound and Wind Profound were used alternately. The power of the three Profound Meanings seemed to be connected. There was no gap between them, as if they had become one.
"I see. So this is how the different Profound Meanings are fused together." Chu Mu thought to himself, feeling enlightened.
This was not only because of his comprehension ability, but also because of the state of becoming one with the sword.
The state of becoming one with the sword, as the name suggested, meant that the sword in one's hand and the person had become one. Under the state of becoming one with the sword, one could use the Profound Meanings. Then, one could use the Profound Meanings to fuse with the Profound Meanings. It would be easier for one to switch between the Profound Meanings. When the Profound Meanings were fused with the Body, the Sword would move with the Profound Meanings.
Unknowingly, the Wind Profound had also fused into the sword, flowing alongside the Metal Profound. However, this was only the beginning. He still needed to fuse the Metal Profound and the Wind Profound into a single power. Only then would it be considered a true fusion of the Profound.
Unknowingly, Lin Ye had become the target of Chu Mu's cultivation.
At this time, Lin Ye was suffering unspeakably. It was as if he had fallen into a quagmire, unable to escape. He had no choice but to block and dodge again and again. However, he found that Chu Mu's sword speed was increasing, and its sharpness seemed to be increasing as well.
Suddenly, a sword stabbed out. This sword's speed increased a bit, and its sharpness became even more tyrannical. It broke through Lin Ye's block in one fell swoop, and the powerful force made Lin Ye stagger back. Before he could adjust, a second sword slashed out. Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, a series of sword strikes formed a small tornado.
Lin Ye was defeated by Chu Mu's sword just like that. His face was gloomy.
