Because of the battle between Chu Mu and Ming Xie, this passage and the tomb had been damaged. Countless cracks had appeared on the surrounding walls, and they were scorched black. They had been burned by high temperatures.
This ancient tomb had existed for a long time. The materials used to construct it were not ordinary either. It was made from extremely hard stones that had been smelted together. Under normal circumstances, even a high second grade Human Tier sword skill would not be able to leave a mark on it.
Even a high third grade Human Tier sword skill would only be able to leave a faint mark on it. It would not be able to destroy it.
However, Chu Mu's sword skill had reached the level of a third grade Human Tier sword skill. It was dozens of times stronger than a high third grade Human Tier sword skill. Ming Xie's curses were also extremely powerful under the amplification of the Underworld God Dharma Idol. They were almost on par with Chu Mu's sword skill. The ground and walls of the ancient tomb were naturally damaged.
The collision of the two powers in particular created a shockwave that was extremely powerful. It affected a large area and caused even more damage.
Chu Mu's strength made Ming Xie's blood boil.
This was a true opponent. As the strongest person below the King level of the Underworld God Clan, he had been lonely for a very long time. He had not used all of his techniques for a very long time. He had not fought to his heart's content.
At this moment, Ming Xie forgot about his mission. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to fight Chu Mu to the death.
He waved his hands and cast his curses again. A pitch-black hole appeared beside Ming Xie. It gave off a shocking cold aura. Then, one figure after another charged out.
Three of them were dressed in pitch black. One of them was a human swordsman, one was from the berserker race, and one was from the spirit race. Each of the Underworld God Puppets emitted a powerful and sinister aura. Wave after wave of aura swept out towards Chu Mu like a stormy sea.
The three Underworld God Puppets were all at the peak of the Divine Condensation Realm. They were all very powerful. After being refined into Underworld God Puppets, their bodies had become even stronger. The energy within them carried the characteristics of the Underworld God Clan. They were not afraid of pain or death. They were even more terrifying.
The moment the three Underworld God Puppets appeared, Ming Xie immediately cast all sorts of curses. Curses flew and landed on the three Underworld God Puppets. Various colored lights flickered on the three Underworld God Puppets, and their auras constantly strengthened.
Some of these spells increased the Nether God Golem's strength, some increased its speed, some increased its defense, and so on.
From the three Underworld God Puppets, Chu Mu began to feel a sliver of threat.
Chu Mu's expression turned serious. Three powerful Underworld God Puppets and an even more powerful Ming Xie. With their cooperation, they were even more powerful, causing Chu Mu's blood to boil.
Fight!
He slashed out three times in a row. Without the Mountain Shaking Energy, Windfire Wheel, and Thunderfire Annihilation struck the three Underworld God Puppets. Chu Mu quickly opened the Warbeast Space and let out the Savage Beast Bawang.
As soon as Bawang appeared, it immediately let out an earth-shaking roar. It opened its mouth and sucked in a large amount of air from all directions. A speck of light appeared in its throat and was spat out. It turned into a huge ball of light that instantly shot towards Ming Xie.
Ming Xie hurriedly used a curse to counterattack, shattering the ball of light. Bawang charged out, its sharp tail piercing through the air towards Ming Xie.
Chu Mu also took a step forward, using the Inverted Space Step. He appeared behind Ming Xie and used his grade three sword skill, Volcanic Explosion.
The three Underworld God Puppets were directly hit by Chu Mu's grade two sword skill. Their defenses were instantly broken and they were injured. However, their bodies were extremely tough and they weren't killed. Instead, they turned towards Chu Mu and charged towards him.
Ming Xie's figure flashed, creating afterimages as he dodged Bawang's tail attack. However, the afterimages were all shattered by the Volcanic Explosion. Even his real body was affected and his defenses were shattered once again.
Chu Mu appeared beside Ming Xie. He slashed out with his sword, beginning a close combat battle. His Mountain Shaking Energy Slash seemed to cut through space.
With the addition of the three Underworld God Puppets and Bawang, the situation became even more chaotic.
Ming Xie's curse caused the ground to become as soft as mud, restricting Chu Mu and Bawang's movements. Bawang spread its wings and flew at a low altitude, while Chu Mu used the profound of wind to prop up his body so that he wouldn't be affected by the curse on the ground.
All sorts of curse techniques flew towards Chu Mu, but they were all shattered by Chu Mu's sword. Ming Xie had the three Underworld God Puppets engage in close combat with Chu Mu, delaying Chu Mu's movements. Ming Xie pulled away, dodging Bawang while casting curse techniques, separately attacking Chu Mu and Bawang.
Although Bawang wasn't as strong as Chu Mu, he was still very powerful. Ming Xie couldn't kill Bawang in a short period of time, so Bawang drew away a portion of the firepower, reducing the pressure on Chu Mu.
In such a high intensity battle, no one could do anything to the other. It was like a competition of endurance.
The ancient tomb's passageway was completely destroyed.
Continuous eruptions of Wind Cutter, Wind Fire Wheel, Thunderfire Annihilation, and Volcano Explosion. Immediately after, Chu Mu once again used the Inverted Space Step. The Ice Soul Cold Art's Ice Soul power instantly erupted, pouring into the Sword of No Return as he slashed towards Ming Xie.
Ming Xie blocked, but the Ice Soul power immediately spread out, freezing half of Ming Xie's body. Immediately after, Chu Mu used the Burning Blood Transformation, burning his essence blood to increase his strength, explosiveness, and speed. After three slashes, the three Underworld God Puppets were sent flying, and Sword Heart's Shadow slashed towards Ming Xie.
This slash was the sword skill Wind Cutter. Sword Heart's Shadow also contained Sword Shadow Annihilation, increasing its power by fifty percent. Combined with Sword Heart's Shadow's true body and Sword Heart's Shadow, the Wind Cutter's power greatly increased. Its single target attack power was close to Volcano Explosion.
Ming Xie, who had just broken out of the ice, immediately received an even more powerful attack from Chu Mu. Without enough time to dodge, he immediately used his trump card. A jet-black shield appeared in front of him, blocking Chu Mu's sword.
With a cracking sound, the shield shattered, and Ming Xie gained a bit of time to use his curse technique. His body exploded, turning into countless shadows that shot out in all directions. It was hard to tell which one was the real one. The three slightly injured Underworld God Puppets once again rushed up, launching their attacks.
A sword whirled, and an ice stream instantly spread out. This was a defensive sword skill, but it could also be used as a ranged attack. Although its power was not as great as the Wind Fire Wheel, it had a large range, and was able to shatter all of Ming Xie's shadows.
Under the curse technique, the power of heaven and earth shook. Above Chu Mu, a black lightning condensed and struck down, followed by a dark red meteor.
The ground beneath his feet instantly turned into a swamp, bubbling with bubbles. Numerous black hands of death reached out, grabbing at Chu Mu's ankles.
Ming Xie, who had put some distance between them, also used a secret technique based on the Underworld God Dharma Idol. His body was surrounded by black Qi, and the Yin Qi was eerie. The speed at which he used his curse technique became much faster, and its power increased as well.
Chu Mu had many tricks up his sleeve, but so did Ming Xie. He truly lived up to his reputation as the strongest person below the King level of the Underworld God Clan's branch.
"I can't use the Burning Blood Transformation for too long, and the power of the Heart Sword Sky Cleaving isn't enough to kill Ming Xie. The Shadow Sword and Sword Heart's Shadow aren't weak, but they can't kill Ming Xie either." Chu Mu's mind spun rapidly as various thoughts flashed through his mind.
It could be said that Ming Xie was the most difficult genius to deal with out of all the geniuses he had encountered. He had many tricks up his sleeve and was extremely powerful. It would be impossible to determine the victor in a short amount of time. If he hadn't used the Burning Blood Transformation, Chu Mu would have been able to continue fighting him for a long time.
However, using the Burning Blood Transformation and constantly burning his essence blood were disadvantageous to him. Of course, Chu Mu believed that Ming Xie wouldn't be having a good time either. The secret technique he used had considerable side effects as well.
He had to end this quickly.
After shattering the hands of death grabbing at his ankles, he waved his sword, shattering the lightning and meteors in the sky. Chu Mu appeared beside Ming Xie again. With Sword Heart's Shadow in front, he slashed out again. His true body poured all of the remaining ice power into the sword. Ming Xie dodged Sword Heart's Shadow's attack, but he was struck by Chu Mu's next attack. His clothes were immediately damaged, and frost spread rapidly.
"Die!" Wind Slash attacked, slashing towards Ming Xie's head. This sword was extremely resplendent and unstoppable. Ming Xie's head was directly cut off, flying high into the air. The three Nether God Puppets that were charging towards Ye Xiwen all fell forward.
"If you kill me, you'll die as well." A sinister voice rang out from Ming Xie's flying head. Afterwards, Ming Xie's head exploded. A dense grey Qi turned into a skull with its mouth wide open. It shot towards Chu Mu, biting towards Chu Mu's neck.
Under the Sword of No Return, the skull exploded, turning into a cloud of grey smoke. It surrounded Chu Mu's body and drilled into Chu Mu's body unstoppably. Chu Mu's body trembled. A powerful chill spread throughout his body, almost freezing his blood.
This was resentment. It was the resentment of a curse that had been gathered through some method and refined. It was different from normal resentment. It was much more powerful and had a purpose. The moment this resentment entered Chu Mu's body, it rushed towards his head, as if it wanted to destroy Chu Mu's mental world.
Wherever the resentment passed, Chu Mu felt his muscles and meridians twitch. He couldn't move at all. He could only "watch" as the resentment rushed towards his mental world.
Chu Mu couldn't help but bitterly smile. This genius of the Underworld God Clan was really hard to kill. Last time, when he killed Ming Luo, he was struck by the Godseal Blood Curse. Now that he killed another one, he didn't know what he would be struck by this time.
Just as Chu Mu was at a loss of what to do, a sudden change occurred. The sword embryo in his middle dantian suddenly trembled and exploded with a powerful suction force that engulfed his entire body. Instantly, all the resentment stopped. While resisting unwillingly, it was sucked into the middle dantian by the sword embryo's suction force.
"Seeing" this scene, Chu Mu immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Strands of resentment were sucked into his middle dantian and then absorbed by the sword embryo, becoming nutrients for the sword embryo. This was highly pure resentment, so it was even more effective than the resentment of the past. As the sword embryo absorbed the resentment, it became even rounder and more lustrous. Its body also began to grow bit by bit.
When all of the resentment was absorbed by the Sword Embryo, there was a peng sound. From within the Sword Embryo, a force that was like a beating heart burst out, causing Chu Mu's entire body to tremble. The Sword Embryo was about to take shape...
