The rise of the Zhen Tian Battle Team was unstoppable.
The God Slayer Battle Team had Jiang Tianmu as their number one battle team. Now, the Zhen Tian Battle Team had Chu Mu, who was even stronger than Jiang Tianmu. Their reputation had already surpassed the God Slayer Battle Team, the Demon Slayer Battle Team, the Monster Slayer Battle Team, and the Stardust Battle Team.
"The strength of the God Slayer Battle Team does not only come from Jiang Tianmu. Currently, only Chu Mu is the strongest in the Zhen Tian Battle Team. The other nine are nothing to worry about." One of the vice-captains of the Demon Slayer Battle Team sneered as he directly saw the weakness of the Zhen Tian Battle Team.
"That's right. If the nine of them want to increase their strength, they will need to spend a lot of time. By then, we will be even stronger and will be able to suppress them." Another vice-captain also sneered.
Because of Chu Mu, the Zhen Tian Battle Team's reputation skyrocketed and they were in the limelight for a while. However, there were still people who could see the shortcomings of the Battle Team, and that was the other nine people besides Chu Mu.
The strongest, Gong Feiyu, was only at the Initial Stage of the God Condensation Realm. His Sword Will and Ultimacy had been refined to the late stage of the Seventh Transformation Realm. That was the limit. He was not as good as Sikong Zhan and the others, but he was on par with Sikong Ao. The strength of the other eight was only at the middle level among the God Condensation Realm swordsmen.
Only by increasing the strength of Gong Feiyu and the other eight could the Zhen Tian Battle Team truly surpass the four super battle teams. Now, it was only because of the prestige brought by Chu Mu's strength. This kind of strength was just a facade and had no foundation.
Chu Mu was not a fool. Before the challenge, he also understood this point. But he still did it. His purpose was very simple. First, let the Zhen Tian Battle Team surpass the other four super battle teams in terms of prestige. This would have a very good motivational effect. Then, it would also bring pressure to Qin Shanhe and the other eight people.
Pressure was motivation. With enough pressure, there would be enough motivation. In addition to the swordsmanship that he had imparted to them, under hard practice, their strength would definitely increase significantly in a short period of time. It was not impossible for them to challenge someone of a higher level.
What Chu Mu wanted was the true strength of Zhen Tian's Battle Team.
Three days after the challenge ended, Chu Mu imparted all 99 stances of the Celestial Extreme Sword Art to Qin Shanhe and the others. He also got them to cultivate continuously while he watched from the side and pointed out the inadequacies, allowing everyone to gradually deepen their understanding and grasp of the Celestial Extreme Sword Art.
Every single one of them had reached the limit of Advanced Realm in terms of their control over their strength. Thus, it wasn't difficult for them to cultivate the ninety-nine forms of the Sky Extreme Sword Art. However, it wasn't easy for them to completely comprehend the Sky Extreme Sword Art.
In order to make them stronger in a short period of time, Chu Mu had spared no expense.
Other than giving them pointers on the cultivation of the Celestial Extreme Sword Art, Chu Mu even personally fought with them, allowing them to truly feel the profoundness of the Celestial Extreme Sword Art.
In a flash, half a month had passed. The nine of them had reached a very profound level in their mastery of the Heaven's Extreme Sword Art. If they were to cultivate by themselves, they would need at least two to three years to reach this level.
"These are my insights on the sword art." Chu Mu took out the sword art cultivation insights that he had recorded over the past few days and handed them to Qin Shanhe for everyone to read and comprehend. Then, he took out the Time Compass and ninety low-grade Sand of Time, explaining the profoundness and so on. Everyone was shocked.
"There's actually such a precious treasure in this world!" All of them were in a daze. At the same time, they were very touched. They had never heard of such a precious treasure, yet Chu Mu took it out for them to use. This showed how much importance Chu Mu placed on them.
"Alright, for the next nine months, you guys will take turns using the Time Compass to cultivate. Do your best to improve your strength." Chu Mu said, "I'm going to the Crimson Wasteland for a walk. I hope that when I return, your strength will have improved by leaps and bounds."
"Captain, don't worry."
"We'll definitely cultivate with all our might. When the time comes, our strength will improve by a lot."
They were touched that Chu Mu placed so much importance on them. At the same time, they also secretly made up their minds. Even if they were to die of exhaustion, they would cultivate with all their might. They would cherish every breath and try their best to improve their strength to the limit.
Nodding, Chu Mu also believed in his companions.
…
As the number one elite disciple and the most famous demonic swordsman, Chu Mu would receive a lot of attention wherever he went.
As soon as he entered the Sky Peak Valley, countless gazes landed on him. They were filled with passion. As soon as he walked out of the Sky Peak Valley, these gazes followed him and passed on all kinds of information.
In the Crimson Wasteland, the thick smell of blood was still dense. A faint baleful aura floated in the air. There was no sunlight in the sky, and it was dusky. It looked as if a storm was coming. It was gloomy and oppressive.
Chu Mu's purpose in entering the Crimson Wasteland was to kill. The purpose of killing was not to vent or simply to pursue the pleasure of killing. It was to cultivate the secret technique: Divine Weapon of Slaughter.
To cultivate the Divine Weapon of Slaughter, one had to first master the Divine Desolate Sword Seed Art and condense a sword embryo in the middle dantian. Chu Mu already had a sword embryo. The sword embryo needed nourishment to grow and take shape. How could he provide nourishment to the sword embryo?
The Divine Weapon of Slaughter's secret technique was essential.
If there was slaughter, there would be killing intent, baleful aura, resentment, evil aura, and other negative auras. When they were weak, they were not much of a hindrance. Once they were strong to a certain degree, they could even kill people.
The cultivation of the Divine Weapon of Slaughter was to absorb all kinds of negative auras and absorb them into the sword embryo. It would nourish the sword embryo and allow the sword embryo to take shape.
There were pure and mixed energies. There were strong and weak energies. Absorbing strong and pure energies would have better effects. Chu Mu needed to kill powerful opponents to be able to absorb high quality negative energies.
The so-called powerful opponents would be at least in the God Condensation Realm. It would be best if they could fight with him.
Although he could not fly, it did not stop Chu Mu from riding the wind. His feet left the ground. Under the support of the Profound of Wind, he flew forward at a speed faster than the speed of sound. After a few thousand meters, the tip of his foot lightly touched the ground. Borrowing a trace of strength, he left the ground again.
Along the way, Chu Mu encountered some Immemorial Beasts. However, they were all too weak. They were only at the level of an Origin Realm swordsman. Chu Mu had no desire to fight.
As he continued to move forward, he went deep into the Crimson Wasteland. Chu Mu encountered a few mutated races. They were all in the God Condensation Realm. He unsheathed his Sword of No Return and killed them all.
The Divine Weapon of Slaughter's secret technique was activated. Suddenly, from the bodies of the mutated races, strands of grey aura floated up. After circling once, they flew towards Chu Mu and entered Chu Mu's body. Chu Mu's body shook as he felt waves of coldness invading his body.
This was the aura of resentment. It was the resentment of being killed by Chu Mu.
The Divine Weapon of Slaughter's secret technique was activated. These strands of resentment were like docile suns. Under the guidance of Chu Mu, they flew towards his Middle Dantian. Once they entered his Middle Dantian, the sword embryo trembled and released a powerful suction force. It directly sucked in the strands of grey aura.
The slightly trembling sword embryo seemed to have a mind of its own. Chu Mu could feel its joy. It was a kind of admiration.
Chu Mu did not know how much negative aura energy it had to absorb for the sword embryo to grow and take shape. He could only continue to find powerful opponents to kill and provide nourishment for the sword embryo.
The Crimson Wasteland was a place similar to a battlefield. There were humans and other races here. They fought and killed each other. Chu Mu did not have to worry about not having opponents.
His strength was great. Every time he encountered an opponent, they would die under his sword. They would become his battle points and at the same time become the energy to nourish the sword embryo.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu had already been active in the Crimson Wasteland for a month. In total, he had killed over a hundred foreign races. Compared to a month ago, the sword embryo was twice as large. Its color was even purer, purer, and fuller.
Many foreign races had died under Chu Mu's sword. Chu Mu's ferocious reputation had spread far and wide.
…
"Chu Mu has actually appeared again. Not only has he broken the God Sealing Blood Curse of our Nether God Clan, but his strength has also greatly increased. He was able to easily kill the Ghost Fetus Realm clansmen of the Dacheng Clan," an Elder of the Nether God Clan said in a hoarse voice.
"This child is a monstrous genius of the human race. We absolutely cannot allow him to grow. Otherwise, he will become a powerful enemy of our clan," another Elder said.
"No, let's not be in a hurry to kill him. It's best to capture him alive. We must know how he broke the God Sealing Blood Curse," the third Elder said.
The God Sealing Blood Curse was one of the most terrifying curse techniques of the Nether God Clan. It could only be cast with the life of a member of the Nether God Clan as the price. Since ancient times, no one had ever broken it. Chu Mu was a precedent.
Therefore, they had to know how Chu Mu could break the God Sealing Blood Curse and then improve it to make it even more perfect. Otherwise, they would feel very uneasy.
Therefore, capturing Chu Mu alive was more important than directly killing him. Other than interrogating him for the method to break the God Sealing Blood Curse, they could also refine Chu Mu into an Nether God Puppet. It would definitely be a huge blow to the human swordsmen of the Sky Edge Sword Palace.
"Let Ming Xie do it," the Nether God Clan's Grand Elder said finally.
"Alright. Ming Xie is the strongest person in our clan below the Nether King. With him, there's a 90% chance of success," the other Elders said.
"However, in order to ensure the success of capturing Chu Mu alive, let Ming Xie bring a few more helpers," said the Grand Elder.
The reason why the Nether God Clan hadn't directly sent out Nether King level experts was because they felt that although Chu Mu was monstrous, there was no need for them to send out Nether King level experts to deal with him. The second reason was that if a Nether King level expert entered the Crimson Wasteland, the other clans would immediately know. At that time, a chaotic battle would be unavoidable.
Unless even Ming Xie couldn't do anything to Chu Mu, the Nether God Clan wouldn't send out Nether King level experts to deal with him at all costs.
Chu Mu didn't know that danger was approaching. This time, his opponent was extremely powerful.
After so many years, Chu Mu once again entered the stone tomb in the Crimson Wasteland. This stone tomb had been discovered many years ago and had been explored many times. He gradually went deeper into it.
In the past, when Chu Mu entered this stone tomb, he didn't feel anything. Now that he entered, he immediately felt an invisible power. That power seemed to be some kind of suppression. When one's strength reached a certain level, they would be suppressed by this invisible power.
