The night in the Crimson Wasteland was cold and gloomy. The air was filled with an evil aura that made people shudder.
Sharp and mournful cries could be heard from afar, making this terrifying night even more eerie.
Popping sounds could be heard as the bonfire burned fiercely. Sparks flew out and disappeared. On top of the vigorous bonfire, an archaic vicious beast that had been roasted until it was golden yellow emitted a rich meat fragrance that made people drool.
The red light from the fire shone on everyone's faces. The ten members of the Zhen Tian Battle Team were surrounding the bonfire.
"Captain, where have you been all these years?" Even though it had been a while, Qin Shanhe's tone was still a little emotional.
"Some fortuitous encounters. It's a long story." Chu Mu said briefly, "It must have been hard to develop the Zhen Tian Battle Team these years. You still need to introduce these people to me."
"Captain, my name is Wu Kong. Because I have comprehended the shadow esoteric, I specialize in scouting." Wu Kong was the first to introduce himself.
"Captain, my name is Lu Chao …"
"Captain, my name is Wang Yue …"
"Captain, my name is Feng Feihua …"
"Captain, my name is Yu Chaoqun …"
"My name is Gong Feiyu …" Gong Feiyu was the last to speak. After saying his name, he paused for a while before continuing, "Captain …"
"Gong Feiyu, how is it? Now you know how powerful our captain is." Tu Gang laughed heartily.
Gong Feiyu's face revealed a bitter expression.
He was the same as the others. They were all recruited into the Zhen Tian Battle Team after Chu Mu disappeared for three years. Each of them came from other places and were not originally disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace. Hence, they did not know much about Chu Mu. They had only heard about him from a few words.
Qin Shan, He Tu Gang, and Tantai Liu Guang only recognized Chu Mu as their captain. The others could not replace him. That was their bottom line and could not be touched.
Although he was not the leader, Gong Fei Yu's sword intent and profound had both reached rank seven, he was the strongest among them and had the most authority to speak. He did not think highly of the leader who had disappeared for many years and was rumored to be extremely talented, he felt that he was not inferior to the other party.
He had even thought of challenging that so-called captain when he returned. He wanted to defeat him and let Tu Gang and the other two know that he was the strongest person in Zhen Tian's battle team.
Now, Chu Mu had returned in an absolutely shocking manner. One sword, one kill. Three swords, three kills. Every opponent he killed was an enemy he couldn't defeat.
The desire to challenge Xiao Chen was completely extinguished. He was not Xiao Chen's match at all. Xiao Chen could instantly kill him with one sword strike.
Without any excuses, Gong Feiyu was convinced, let alone the others.
"My name is Chu Mu." Even though everyone knew his name, out of respect, Chu Mu still introduced himself. "Zhen Tian Battle Team was created by me and Qin Shanhe."
When Chu Mu said this, Qin Shanhe's face instantly lit up.
Other than Qin Shanhe, Tu Gang, and Tantai Liu Guang, Feng Feihua was a woman. She was valiant and had the spirit of a woman who was not inferior to men.
In seven and a half years, everyone's cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds. Just as Chu Mu said at the beginning, the Zhentian Battle Team focused on quality over quantity. Every one of them was at the Divine Condensation Realm.
Other than Chu Mu, the one with the highest cultivation was Gong Fei Yu, who was in the initial stage of God Condensation Realm. The other eight had similar cultivation and were all in the initial stage of God Condensation Realm.
Gong Feiyu's sword intent had been refined to the late stage of the seventh revolution, which was his limit. He had comprehended three profundities: cloud profundities, wind profundities, and water profundities, which had all been refined to the late stage of the seventh revolution.
The other few's sword intent profound were all below rank seven, almost at the limit of rank six.
In Sky Edge Sword Palace, there were very few swordsmen who could refine their sword intent to rank seven. Excluding Chu Mu and including Gong Fei Yu, there were only six of them. As for the limit of rank six, there were not many either.
"The geniuses of Sky Edge Sword Palace are too weak compared to Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace." After Chu Mu understood, he said to himself, regardless of quantity or quality.
Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace was far behind Sky Edge Sword Palace in terms of the number of disciples, but in terms of the number of geniuses, Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace far surpassed Sky Edge Sword Palace. Basically, Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace's top thirty inner palace disciples had all refined their sword intent to rank seven. Including Nan Wu Ming, Xiao Luo, Qiu Shui, and the others, there were at least thirty swordsmen in the inner palace who had refined their sword intent to rank seven.
As for the limit of rank six, there were even more of them, far more than Sky Edge Sword Palace. Moreover, Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace also had True Palace, Sword Of Gojoseon. The number and quality of experts in Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace were above Sky Edge Sword Palace.
However, Sky Edge Sword Palace was only an insignificant existence in the Immemorial World. There were many forces that were stronger than Sky Edge Sword Palace.
Speaking of which, although he had stayed in Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace for a few years, his understanding of Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace was still very limited. Chu Mu still did not know the full strength of Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace, so he had no way to judge.
Maybe it was just what it seemed on the surface. Maybe there were still many things hidden.
"Captain, now that you are back, your strength is even stronger. Our battle team has also completed the promotion mission. After we return, we will be promoted to the fifth super battle team." Qin Shanhe smiled and said happily, "Although Sikong Zhan's Stardust Battle Team became a super battle team earlier than our Zhen Tian Battle Team, we will definitely surpass Sikong Zhan's Stardust Battle Team with captain's leadership."
"Zhen Tian Battle Team will only become the strongest battle team." Chu Mu said.
"Captain, your strength …" Gong Feiyu hesitated for a moment, but he still asked in the end.
The others also stared at Chu Mu. They had seen Chu Mu kill three powerful foreign race geniuses with three strikes. They knew that Chu Mu was very powerful, but they had no idea how powerful he was.
Chu Mu did not speak. Instead, he released his aura. The enormous sharp aura was like a heavenly sword descending from the sky, suppressing everyone. Instantly, they felt as if they were about to collapse. An ancient and desolate aura also filled their hearts. Even their thoughts were affected and slowed down.
They felt as if they were about to suffocate, and their bodies were unable to move. When the aura dissipated, everyone's faces were filled with shock.
"God Condensation Realm Dacheng!" Gong Feiyu cried out involuntarily.
After reaching the God Condensation Realm, every small level of advancement was more difficult than before. One had to refine the sword energy, increase the amount of sword energy, and then refine it again. Repeating this process repeatedly would take a lot of time.
Thinking about it, seven and a half years ago, Chu Mu's cultivation was at the Origin Realm, and he was also under the Godseal Blood Curse. It would take some time to break the Godseal Blood Curse.
The shock was not over yet. Shortly after, Chu Mu opened his palm. A strand of golden light appeared. It was extremely sharp. Looking at it, one would feel as if their eyes were being cut.
"Eight … Eight Revolution Gold Profound …" Gong Feiyu stuttered.
The golden power disappeared, and a strand of green appeared. It was like a gust of wind. Shortly after, it changed into a stream of water, then a purple lightning, and finally a flame.
No matter how powerful it was, it contained a soul-stirring power that made people tremble.
"Eight Revolution … Wind Profound …"
"Eight Revolution … Water Profound …"
"Eight Revolution … Thunder Profound …"
"Eight Revolution … Fire Profound …"
Every time Chu Mu displayed a power, it would cause a commotion.
Finally, an endless sharpness shot out from the top of his head, piercing through the sky of the Blood Wasteland as if it was tearing the darkness apart. That was Eight Revolution Sword Intent!
After half a year on the Heaven Wasteland Warship, Chu Mu's sword essence and sword intent had completely recovered and could be used.
Sword intent, metal profound, wind profound, water profound, thunder profound, and fire profound, all of them had reached the eighth revolution. Their levels were not high enough, they did not know if they were at the early stage, middle stage, late stage, or even the limit of the eighth revolution. But in the entire Sky Edge Sword Palace, since they were born, this was the first time they had seen someone with eighth revolution sword intent and profound. Moreover, it was five kinds of profound.
Dacheng's cultivation was at the God Condensation Realm, Eight Revolution Sword Intent, and five Profound.
Immediately after, Chu Mu's finger slashed out like a sword. A green wind blade tore through the dark sky and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This is …" Gong Feiyu and the others were stunned.
"It doesn't seem to be the limit of the Border Realm …"
"Could it be … Sword Skill …"
"Man and Sword as One!" They exclaimed again and looked at Chu Mu. When they saw the smile on Chu Mu's face, they felt as if thousands of lightning bolts had struck their hearts.
What kind of strength was this?
Everyone tried their best to think, but they could not imagine how powerful Chu Mu's current strength was. The difference between their levels was too great, and the difference between their realms was like heaven and earth.
Although they did not know how powerful Chu Mu was, they were sure that Chu Mu was very powerful. They had a very powerful captain. All of them were trembling with excitement as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Even Gong Feiyu was no exception.
Chu Mu could feel the excitement in their hearts and couldn't help but smile.
"Let's eat. After eating, we will return to the Sword Palace and upgrade our battle team." Chu Mu said.
"Come, come, come. Let's eat." Tu Gang laughed and took out a gourd of Ten Thousand Beast Blood for everyone.
"So generous." Wu Kong's eyes lit up and quickly snatched a gourd.
"Because our captain is back, we can all benefit from it. Otherwise, we would not be able to drink it." Lu Chao laughed.
"I don't have much Ten Thousand Beast Blood in stock. You should thank our captain." Tu Gang laughed. He opened the gourd and took a big gulp. "Awesome."
Gulping down wine and eating meat, this was the most satisfying meal they had ever had in their memory. The huge ancient beast was eaten up by them.
After eating, they extinguished the bonfire and tidied up a little. Then, they returned to the Sky Peak Valley with Kuang Qiu Lei's head.
Their speed was the same as when they came, but their momentum and mentality were very different.
When they came, their hearts were heavy as they constantly thought about how to complete the mission without suffering any losses. When they returned, their hearts were filled with joy and excitement as they saw great hope.
