Strong.
Really strong.
The strength of Taishi Tao Master made Li Mu feel suffocated.
From the beginning of this battle, Li Mu had been in a state of suppression.
For a long time, Li Mu had been proud of his broadsword skills.
It had been tempered and perfected.
But Taishi Tao Master's broadsword skills were more terrible than Li Mu's.
Abandoning the fancy combat skills and divine abilities of ordinary immortals, Lord Taishi's bladesmanship had returned the Great Dao to simplicity. His movements were ordinary, but each of his movements contained great power. He could control the Great Dao with his will, and with a casual stroke, he had the terrifying power to turn something rotten into something magical.
Li Mu was sent flying again and again.
"Is this the power of the culprit who stirred up the Immortal Realm in the past?"
The more Li Mu fought, the more frightened he became.
Moreover, he knew very well.
The Taishi Tao Master in front of him was just a simulated image.
It might not even have one-tenth of the strength of the real Taishi Tao Master.
A simulated image was so terrifying.
How terrifying would the real Taishi Tao Master be?
At this time, if he fought against Taishi Tao Master, he might not even be able to hold on for a moment. The other party could kill him in a second, right?
Fighting.
Constantly fighting.
Li Mu was completely suppressed.
Scars appeared on Li Mu's body one by one.
Drip.
Blood was flowing.
It couldn't be sealed.
He couldn't stand it.
On the one hand, Taishi Tao Master's cultivation was too strong. In many cases, he could directly break Li Mu's theoretically flawless defense with force.
On the other hand, Taishi Tao Master's broadsword skills were too brilliant. With Li Mu's understanding of broadsword skills, he couldn't completely keep up with the other party's rhythm.
He didn't know how long it had been.
Suddenly —
Sizzle!
In the void, flashing snowflakes like a TV screen suddenly appeared.
Li Mu felt that something was wrong and quickly withdrew.
Then the world changed in an instant.
It was extremely strange.
It was as if someone had suddenly pressed the high-speed rewind button.
Time and space backtracked.
The entire space of the trial instantly returned to the scene when Li Mu first entered.
Then, everything returned to normal.
The surrounding beautiful mountains and rivers, the waterfalls, and the rare birds and beasts all returned.
The buildings and heaven and earth that had been destroyed in the battle between Li Mu and Taishi Lord had been restored to normal.
Lord Taishi had also turned back into the statue, standing on the square in front of the Hovering Mountain, motionless and lifelike.
A hint of joy flashed across Li Mu's eyes.
His gamble paid off.
His guess was right.
Just like in the stone pillar Instance Dungeon, when the challenger persisted for a certain period of time, the Instance Dungeon's energy supply would run out. The Boss would have to return to its original state to replenish its energy.
Just like the faceless white-robed Celestial Saint sword cultivator from back then.
The cultivation of the Taishi Dao Lord was even stronger. To simulate it, the amount of Heaven and Earth energy required was terrifying. Even the stone pillar trial space of the War God Shrine could not withstand it. It was like making a super special effects blockbuster. Every frame and every second required a large amount of money.
Thus, this battle ended much earlier than any of the previous Trial Spaces.
"Hu hu hu …"
Li Mu stuck out his tongue and gasped for breath.
Tired.
He was exhausted.
He didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent and immediately seized the time to adjust his breathing and recover.
At this time, he would no longer hold back and directly took out a supreme Immortal Crystal to absorb.
Pure energy containing the almost complete Heaven and Earth energy of the Immortal Realm gushed out of the Immortal Crystal and entered Li Mu's body.
"What a perfect power."
Li Mu was overjoyed.
After about half an hour, after absorbing about three supreme Immortal Crystals, Li Mu's Sacred Level Celestial Core Power was finally replenished and he returned to his peak state.
Then, he exercised his Qi.
The injuries on his body were also completely healed.
At this time, on the square of the Hovering Mountain in the distance, the statue of the Taishi Dao Lord emitted a sparkling light and then the stone layer on its surface fell off.
As expected.
The Taishi Dao Lord was resurrected again.
Li Mu's black hair fluttered in the wind and he rushed forward again with the two swords in hand.
Let's fight.
The blood in Li Mu's chest was burning.
He had never met such a powerful opponent.
Fight.
"Ahhhhh …"
Li Mu screamed as if he had gone crazy.
Two hours later.
Blood dyed the sky red.
There were more cracks on the Blood Dissipating Sword.
Li Mu was like a fish that had been cut into pieces. He was riddled with scars.
At the same time, the scene of time and space backtracking appeared again.
Another reincarnation repeated.
Everything returned to normal.
Li Mu gasped for breath and then raced against time to restore his cultivation.
Then, continue.
Continue.
Continue.
The battle went back and forth for a total of ten times.
After Li Mu recovered for the tenth time, the Sacred Level Celestial Core Power in his body finally broke through the shackles of a small realm and entered the middle stage of Celestial Sage.
His strength soared.
And in this almost crazy battle, Li Mu raised his limit again and again.
Unconsciously, he deepened his understanding of the Broadsword Way.
The Broadsword Way of the Taishi Dao Lord had inspired Li Mu so much.
Boom!
The stone skin of the statue of the Taishi Dao Lord flew off again.
The battle began again.
Boom! Boom!
The Broadsword Way collided.
Li Mu felt the change.
The omnipresent pressure that made him almost breathless before was obviously reduced a lot in this battle.
But he was still at a disadvantage.
Boom! Boom!
Boom!
When the space of the eleventh trial returned to its original state, Li Mu's injuries were much less than before.
Recovery, breathing adjustment, and comprehension.
Then, the statue of the Taishi Dao Lord was resurrected again.
Then, he fought again.
Then, he continued to recover, breathe adjustment, and comprehend.
And so on.
Even Li Mu couldn't remember how many times this reincarnation had repeated.
Finally, Li Mu's realm improved again.
The high stage of Celestial Sage.
He had already consumed 300 supreme immortal crystals.
The consumption rate was a little shocking.
It was simply burning money.
But the effect was also obvious.
In this realm, Li Mu could already fight head-on with the Taishi Dao Lord. He was no longer completely suppressed and had room to fight back. He could always make one move in ten moves.
However, it was still a long way to go to defeat the Taishi Dao Lord within the time limit.
Time flew.
Countless battles.
Of the supreme divine-grade fairy crystals that Li Mu had left for himself, there were less than 150 left.
Finally, after countless battles, Li Mu's realm was pushed to the peak of the high stage of Celestial Sage.
At this time, if he fought with the Taishi Dao Lord again, he could fight back three times in ten moves.
"The cultivation of the Taishi Dao Lord simulated in this space is probably at the peak of the Celestial Sage."
"His aura is still at the Sage Realm, not above the Celestial Sage."
"That's a little strange."
Li Mu made a judgment and frowned slightly.
The initial stage, the middle stage, the high stage, and the peak.
These were the minor realms that the immortal cultivators had to go through after entering the Celestial Emperor Realm.
With Li Mu's combat strength, he could already kill a Celestial Sage when he was at the peak of the Celestial Emperor Realm.
Logically speaking, after he reached the peak of the high stage of the Celestial Sage Realm, he could be invincible in the Celestial Sage Realm and kill all the Celestial Sages.
Li Mu should be able to kill Taishi Dao Lord, who was at the peak of the Celestial Sage Realm, with his current cultivation and combat strength.
But when the battle started again, he was only on par with the Taishi Dao Lord.
In the end, after consuming the energy of the Taishi Dao Lord, everything returned to the original state.
Li Mu's body was unscathed.
This was undoubtedly a huge improvement.
There was one thing worth noting.
In the beginning, the time it took for Taishi to turn into a stone statue and come back to life to fight again was about the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. But now, the time had been extended to two hours.
Li Mu had more time to recover and recuperate.
He also had more time to comprehend the Way of Broadsword, reflect on the battle, and improve his Way of Broadsword.
Finally, ten days and ten nights had passed in the dungeon space.
On this day.
"Kill!"
Li Mu shouted angrily.
The long saber swept across the void like a flash of primordial light.
Swoosh!
The blade cut through the body of the Taishi Dao Lord.
Crack.
That long saber, which was like the autumn water and the bright moon, was split into two from the middle, broken at the same time.
A saber mark flickered with bright light, splitting the Taishi Dao Venerate's body in two.
The trial was over.
Li Mu put away the saber and stood up.
He finally defeated the Taishi Dao Lord.
And he had completely used up all the supreme Immortal Crystals he had.
His cultivation had finally reached the peak of the Celestial Sage Realm.
It was over.
He finally passed the trial space of the 20th stone pillar.
Li Mu let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time —
"Everything is not over."
"Everything will come back."
"The Celestial Realm … The Celestial Realm …"
The Taishi Dao Lord, whose body was gradually collapsing, suddenly spoke.
Li Mu was shocked.
"No."
"This voice is not like the voice of the stone statue at the beginning."
It was a strange voice.
It was full of demonic pressure.
At this moment, even with Li Mu's cultivation in the peak of the Celestial Sage Realm, he couldn't help but feel a burst of fear.
But the voice didn't finish what it wanted to say. Soon, it disappeared with the collapse of the simulation of the Taishi Dao Lord.
"What's going on?"
"The voice just now …"
Li Mu frowned and found that things were not simple.
But he didn't have time to think about it. The next moment, the repulsive force of the space came.
Li Mu was teleported away.
He returned to the real world.
He immediately ran the Divine Hiding Skill to hide his cultivation, and the aura he revealed was about at the peak of the Celestial Emperor.
In the real world, a day had passed.
There were two days left before the opening of the Immortal Ancient Battlefield.
Li Mu was not in a hurry to enter the dungeon space of the last stone pillar.
Because of the battle with the Taishi Dao Lord, the Magic Blood Saber and the Immortal-killing Saber were damaged to different degrees. The bodies of the sabers were full of cracks, and the blades were full of soybean-sized nicks.
