Xiao Chen withdrew his saber and stopped in satisfaction. He was close to Great Perfection in the three foundational moves. He could already send out nine strands of dense saber Qi at the same time.
The quality of a Martial Saint's saber Qi was much weaker than a Martial King's. However, Xiao Chen had Glittering Wukui. The saber Qi from the tree branch was no weaker than a Martial King's saber Qi. This made up for this gap.
Furthermore, this move exhausted very little Essence. It could be executed indefinitely until the Essence was exhausted. It was no different from a saber Qi.
This way, in terms of the quality of the saber Qi, Xiao Chen had an advantage over Murong Chong. Although it was not a big advantage, it increased his chances of victory.
After practicing the three foundational moves, Xiao Chen started to practice the three killing moves: Wukui Shakes the Heavens, Wukui Blossoms, and Wukui Supporting the Heavens.
Wukui Shakes the Heavens was a separate move. As for Wukui Blossoms and Wukui Supporting the Heavens, they had to be chained together in order to bring out their greatest might.
After executing the three killing moves, Xiao Chen looked at the deep trenches on the ground and the purple electricity lingering in the air. He stopped and rested for a while.
"Wukui Breaks the Heavens!"
Xiao Chen shouted and executed the seventh move according to the Wukui Saber Technique's mental cultivation method.
Immediately, an ancient divine tree slowly grew from its roots. However, before it finished growing, a saber light appeared on the saber, extending for a hundred meters.
Xiao Chen did not show much surprise on his face. He said softly, "I released it too early. The timing is not in sync with the circulation of Essence. Again!"
"Boom!" He failed the second time. Like before, the saber Qi only extended for a hundred meters before it fell. Its might was not even as strong as Glittering Wukui.
Second time, failure. Third time, failure. Fourth time, failure!
Xiao Chen could no longer remember how many times he had failed. However, he did not feel discouraged. Every time he failed, he would summarize the reason for his failure and continue trying.
The killing move of the Wukui Saber Technique was already very ferocious. It could kill an Inferior Grade Martial King. Xiao Chen believed that the killing move would be even more ferocious.
A regular peak Inferior Grade Martial King might not be able to withstand it. Thus, it was expected that it would be harder to practice. Fortunately, Xiao Chen was someone who could endure loneliness. The repeated failures did not make him feel frustrated.
Hu chi!
The divine Wukui Tree above Xiao Chen's head had already grown to a near perfect state. However, the light on the saber still lit up ahead of time, extending a five-hundred-meter-long saber light.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Xiao Chen encouraged himself, "Not bad, just a little bit more and I'll succeed. Continue."
After practicing for such a long time, Xiao Chen had gained some understanding of the mysteries of Wukui Breaks the Heavens.
This move focused on the mysterious phenomenon, the speed of the circulation of Quintessential Energy, and the timing of the release. The three had to be completed at the same time to be able to execute this move.
The so-called mysterious phenomenon naturally referred to the divine Wukui Tree above him. The latter two were easy to understand, but they were the hardest to do.
By now, Xiao Chen had complete control over his phenomenon, and he could control the speed at which his Quintessential Qi circulated at will. The only thing he couldn't coordinate was the timing of the release.
Unknowingly, the sky slowly darkened. Xiao Chen was still practicing this move without any discouragement.
"Wukui Breaks the Heavens!"
Xiao Chen shouted and the ancient divine Wukui Tree slowly formed. The instant the divine Wukui Tree completely formed, the Lunar Shadow Saber in Xiao Chen's hand suddenly lit up with a resplendent saber light in the dark night.
The saber light quickly elongated. In a breath of time, it extended by a thousand meters. At the end of the saber light was a mountain wall. There was a loud rumble and a bottomless cave appeared. Rocks fell down continuously.
I finally succeeded, Xiao Chen revealed a gratified smile. Hard work pays off; I finally grasped this move.
Next, I have to try to infuse the state of thunder into it. Only by infusing the state into the Saber Technique would I be able to bring out the might of this Martial Technique.
Dark clouds churned endlessly in the sky. Low and deep thunder rumbled continuously. Occasionally, tiny bolts of lightning would tear through the night sky, illuminating the ground.
Xiao Chen's expression was calm. He placed his right hand on the saber hilt and continuously gathered the state of thunder. The thunder in the sky grew louder and louder. It was like there was a huge army in the middle, galloping and roaring angrily.
A boundless aura reverberated in the back mountains. A visible purple energy drifted in the air, giving off a 'zi zi' sound.
"Wukui Breaks the Heavens!"
Xiao Chen shouted and the ancient divine Wukui Tree above his head grew rapidly. When the Wukui Tree was completely grown, Xiao Chen's right hand, which was on the saber hilt, immediately swung.
"Pu ci!"
A resplendent pillar of light appeared on the snow-white saber blade. The endless thunder in the sky suddenly stopped. The silence lasted for less than half a second.
Suddenly, thunder resounded. A horrifying purple bolt of lightning tore through the dark clouds in the sky, tearing apart the dark night sky. It was like a berserk roaring dragon descending from the sky.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's aura was raised to its peak. He was like a treasured saber drawn from its scabbard, revealing its sharpness and sweeping through the surroundings. Everywhere he looked, it was like a sharp saber tearing through the air.
"Rumble!"
Xiao Chen's state and Saber Technique finally merged perfectly. The pillar of light on the saber quickly elongated.
In the blink of an eye, the peak of the mountain a thousand meters in front was struck by the pillar of light. The peak shattered and rocks fell from the sky.
When the rocks came in contact with the pillar of light, they were immediately reduced to dust. The dust scattered with the wind and disappeared.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and the thunderclouds in the sky immediately vanished. The rumbling of thunder stopped. The night turned quiet once again. Only the sound of rocks falling could be heard.
Xiao Chen revealed a joyful smile. He muttered, "In two days, I finally merged my state of thunder and Wukui Breaks the Heavens. This move is sufficient to show disdain for Martial Saints. In terms of might, it is only a hair's breadth away from an Inferior Grade Heaven Ranked Martial Technique."
Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and took out a Medial Grade Spirit Stone. He quickly recovered his Essence.
After a while, the exhausted Essence was completely replenished. However, the Essence in the Medial Grade Spirit Stone had not been completely exhausted yet. Xiao Chen took advantage of the situation and entered a state of cultivation.
He infused the remaining energy in the Medial Grade Spirit Stone into the Qi whirlpool in his dantian. When the Spirit Stone was completely exhausted, the Qi whirlpool expanded slightly. The amount of Essence it could contain increased again.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush to get up. Instead, he continued circulating the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. He infused the energy he just absorbed into his body, turning it into his own cultivation.
After the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation completed a great cycle, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. A purple light flashed in his pupils.
Xiao Chen got up and looked at the distant horizon. A faint light appeared; dawn was approaching. He said, "After the sky brightens, there are only five days left. The Wukui Breaks the Heavens has just merged with the state. That means there are only four days left.
"Of the four days, I will use three days to practice the eighth move of the Wukui Saber Technique. I will use the remaining day to consolidate and modify the Rushing Thunder Roars. That way, I will have three trump cards."
After taking out some simple food from the Universe Ring and consuming it, Xiao Chen continued to familiarize himself with merging the Wukui Breaks the Heavens with the state of thunder.
The vast Lingyun Mountain Range rose and fell in all directions. It was unknown how many meters wide it was. There were many desolate mountain peaks. On an extremely secluded mountain peak.
On an incomparably secluded mountain peak, this mountain was very desolate. It was barren and did not have any vegetation. Aside from rocks, there were only rocks. Murong Chong stood quietly at the summit of the mountain with his eyes closed.
The mountain was two thousand meters tall. A strong wind blew, causing Murong Chong's clothes to flutter and his hair to flutter.
"Xiu!"
Murong Chong suddenly opened his eyes. The light in the depths of his eyes was withdrawn, and his hair stopped fluttering. When the wind blew past him, it seemed like it passed through his body, merging with the wind.
"The state of wind has finally reached Great Perfection. My speed can also reach the speed of sound in advance. Given this, I have a seventy percent chance of dodging his move."
Murong Chong said indifferently. Right after he spoke, his body flashed. He followed the direction of the wind and drifted down. He did not make any sound. In the blink of an eye, he had traveled five hundred meters.
Murong Chong's body flickered continuously as he headed for the foot of the mountain. The clouds in the sky started to churn. Under the clear sky, they moved continuously.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be pulled by a strange force and started to collide with each other. As the clouds collided, thunder roared from the nine heavens.
"Pu ci!"
Murong Chong drew his saber ferociously, and a bolt of lightning shot down from the clouds. Before the lightning bolt landed, a strong gust of wind blew.
With a 'shua' sound, the lightning merged with the strong wind. The formless wind instantly turned purple and formed a purple tornado. Lightning flickered in the wind, and thunder roared.
Murong Chong's body rose from the ground. His figure was ethereal and formless in the air, like a cloud moving with the wind. The purple tornado behind him moved with his ethereal figure, moving up and down.
Everywhere the tornado passed, countless tall rocks were crushed into dust by the purple tornado, filling the air with dust. As the wind blew, the dust flew everywhere, looking like yellow sand.
"Chasing Clouds, Chasing Lightning!"
Murong Chong, who was moving erratically in the air, shouted and the purple tornado changed. It turned into a purple flood dragon flickering with flowing light. Then, it moved in the direction of Murong Chong's saber light and charged.
The flood dragon was incredibly fast, almost faster than the speed of sound. It was a flood dragon made of lightning, clouds, and strong wind. With a loud bang, he crashed into a mountain peak. The mountain peak immediately collapsed and was directly crushed into countless amounts of powder.
"Parting Clouds, Revealing the Sky!"
Murong Chong shouted again and landed on the ground. His saber lit up with a resplendent light.
In an instant, it stretched infinitely and rushed into the sky. The surging clouds were instantly scattered by the saber light, and the sun shone brightly, becoming even more intense.
"Rebuking the wind and clouds!"
Murong Chong roared ferociously. The cold saber light trembled uncontrollably.
