Da Xuan Martial Saint

Ding!

A clear and crisp sound of a sword ringing.

Zuo Qianqiu's first sword, imbued with the Power of Yin Yang, struck Chen Mu, who was enveloped by the Qiankun Power. After a brief stalemate, it was ground into pieces by the Qiankun Power, disintegrating without causing any disturbance.

Despite this, Zuo Qianqiu's resolve was unshaken; the sword light in his eyes grew even brighter, and he raised his sword again.

The second technique, "Sever the Dual Extremes!"

The third technique, "Break the Three Talents!"

The fourth technique, "Fix the Four Seasons!"

...

Swish, swish, swish, swish.

The Seven Cutting Skies Swords unleashed six successive strikes. The terrifying Sword Intent oppressed everyone on the entire mountain steps. Many warriors felt the pressure; their Artistic Conceptions, to varying degrees, were included in the "Breaking Technique" of the Seven Cutting Skies Swords!

The so-called Seven Cutting Skies Swords, wielding the Heavenly Sword Path and cultivated to the third step—the highest within the sword—are contending with supreme entities such as the master of Yin Yang, the Four Seasons, the Five Elements, evolving step by step into a sword technique that breaks all the Artistic Conceptions in the world!

"The Seven Cutting Skies Swords."

Zhou Hao took a deep breath.

Back then, he faced Zuo Qianqiu's fourth sword; at that time, his Kun Earth Artistic Conception hadn't been mastered yet. But according to his judgment, even if it was mastered, he could at most resist up to the sixth sword; he would likely lose against the seventh sword.

Others, like Hua Nongyue and Yuan Yingsong, were also watching this scene intently. They had all suffered under Zuo Qianqiu's Seven Cutting Skies Swords and had been in disarray before. But now, Zuo Qianqiu faced not them but the so-called strongest Martial Arts practitioner in the world, a complete Qiankun; how would the situation unfold?!

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!

As multiple beams of sword light from Zuo Qianqiu descended, what followed was a deep clanging sound, similar to striking a bell.

Chen Mu stood there steadfast, merely looking down the mountain steps, motionless, as the Eight Phases cycled through creation and destruction, resembling an immortal ancient bell, grinding all sword light to nothing, unshakably.

"The seventh technique, 'Plummet of the Seven Luminaries!'"

The final sword, the sword light drawing down the falling stars, issued seven beams of starlight from above. It not only solidified and sliced with the Sword Intent of falling stars, but within each beam of stellar light, distinct Sword Intents were faintly visible, separating Yin Yang, breaking the Three Talents, fixing the Four Seasons...

This sword seemed to draw upon the previous six swords, gathering all the remnants of the Artistic Conceptions shattered by the Qiankun, converging into a vast Sword Intent, layer by layer exploding around Chen Mu's Xun Wind, Thunderbolt, Separating Fire, Kan Water...

Ultimately,

Zuo Qianqiu's sword forcefully pierced through the Qiankun!

At that moment, he seemed to have a realization, as though validating his own Martial Arts path. Although that beam of sword light dimmed after penetrating through the Eight Phases and entering the Qiankun, it was still stubbornly gathering strength, as if to defy the heavens and earth and wanting to tear through the vast Qiankun with a single sword.

Time seemed to come to a standstill at this moment. It was unknown how long it lasted; it seemed only an instant, yet also like a myriad of years had blinked by. That dim and flickering sword finally, in a moment, reached the end of the Qiankun, thrusting towards the body of Chen Mu!

But,

there was no trace of joy on Zuo Qianqiu's face.

For it was only then that Chen Mu finally slowly raised his right hand, and with just one finger, silently resisted his sword's edge, preventing it from advancing even a fraction of an inch. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

"In the past, I had only heard of the mysterious nature of the Heavenly Sword. Witnessing it today, indeed, it has extraordinary aspects. If you could train these Seven Cutting Skies Swords to seamlessly mesh as one, I might have had to expend a bit more effort to resist."

Ding!

A clear and crisp sound of a sword ringing.

With a flick from Chen Mu, Zuo Qianqiu's sword could no longer sustain the stalemate. His whole body, along with the sword in his hand, was flung backward, plummeting over ten meters, landing down the mountain steps.

"Do you have any other moves?"

Chen Mu gazed at Zuo Qianqiu, his demeanor as usual.

It must be said that the Heavenly Sword is truly extraordinary. Initially, it might have been just an ordinary Sword Dao, but with generations of inheritance and competing with Yin Yang, Four Seasons, the Five Elements, it gradually honed a Heavenly Sword capable of overpowering thousands of paths. If it grew to its pinnacle, upon encountering a complete Yin Yang Five Elements, it could also fight.

But unfortunately, there's still a gap from the Qiankun, and even with all his strength, he could only barely break through the naturally converging Power of Heaven and Earth around Chen Mu, grounded in his Artistic Conception, and it wasn't enough to force Chen Mu to use the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal.

However,

being barely able to break through that layer of the Power of Heaven and Earth is already quite impressive.

Even without his deliberate control, the Power of Heaven and Earth naturally gathered by his current level of Qiankun Artistic Conception far surpasses the typical Five Viscera Realm, almost comparable to the levels of Chu Jingsui, Xiahou Yan, and others.

"..."

Zuo Qianqiu's face was somewhat pale.

He wasn't injured.

But what he felt was an even colder chill, because he knew that Chen Mu hadn't hurt him not because he couldn't, but because he deliberately didn't hurt him, just to see to what extent his Heavenly Sword could perform.

What does this mean?

"You—have you stepped into the Six Viscera Realm?"

Zuo Qianqiu stared at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu calmly answered, "No."

"..."

Zuo Qianqiu's face grew even paler.

This wasn't the result he wanted.

He hoped his fully committed Seven Cutting Skies Swords, even if losing to Chen Mu was acceptable, losing to the Qiankun wasn't an issue, but at least he wanted to see Chen Mu exert himself. But what was that just now? Chen Mu didn't even mobilize his Yuan Gang True Essence.

Both were in the Five Viscera Realm,

how could there be such a huge disparity between the Heavenly Sword and the Qiankun!

He couldn't even make Chen Mu make a move!

"You have other techniques, right? I remember you also have a Spirit Weapon, called Mysterious Heavenly Sword Diagram?"
