Chapter 465: Blood-Stained Hall of Supreme Authority! (9k2) (Part 2)
Chapter 465: Blood-Stained Hall of Supreme Authority! (9k2) (Part 2)
He understood that Chen Mu had targeted him and the Blood Concealment Manor Lord first. Now that the Blood Concealment Manor Lord was dead, his situation was dire!
Without hesitation, he retreated, his body flickering like a ghostly shadow. He positioned himself behind the Mystic Chamber Master and other experts for protection, then dashed towards the Hall of Supreme Authority.
"Trying to escape?"
A cold glint flashed in Chen Mu's eyes, and he took a step towards the direction where the Ghostly Shadow Manor Lord had retreated.
Seeing Chen Mu's intention to kill the Ghostly Shadow Manor Lord, the various Blood Replacement Realm experts couldn't just stand by and let Chen Mu act freely. After all, the Blood Concealment Manor Lord had already died at Chen Mu's hands, and if Chen Mu continued his slaughter, the situation would become even more uncontrollable!
"Cough... Four Seasons Cycle, Time Surrounds!"
The Mystic Chamber Master took the initiative, his pale face suddenly flushing with a hint of redness. He burned his essence and blood, using a spirit armament to unleash the power of the four seasons' cycle in an instant, forming a ring of light that enveloped Chen Mu.
"How dare you claim to control time with mere spring and autumn."
Chen Mu's body didn't pause for a moment, his gaze remaining indifferent. He continued forward, colliding with the four seasons' light ring with a single touch, causing it to explode. The power of the warm spring, vibrant summer, and other seasons hadn't even been fully unleashed before being pushed aside by Chen Mu.
"Stop him!"
"Boundless Sword Decision!"
Ruan Tian also shouted, raising his sword and creating a sword circle in the air. This move wasn't meant to kill but to entangle and restrict Chen Mu.
"Everlasting Life!"
"Thousand Coils and Hundred Knots!"
"Cloud Sea Concealment!"
In the 1619th chapter, a revised version!
...
In an instant, numerous Blood Replacement Realm experts also took action, each displaying their entanglement and restriction techniques. After the previous clashes, no one dared to directly confront Chen Mu, opting for restraining methods instead.
On the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Authority, clouds and mist intertwined like chains, and rays of light encircled him like soft, finger-like swords. Despite their efforts, they couldn't stop Chen Mu's advance, but they did visibly slow him down.
"Human Sovereign Seal!"
It was at this moment that Prince Xuan Ji, standing before the Hall of Supreme Authority, made his move! A solemn look appeared in his eyes as he raised his hand, and a small seal appeared in his palm. In an instant, it burst with dazzling light, unleashing the power of the Heaven and Earth, seemingly connecting with the Void Formation.
"Heaven and Earth, Suppress the World!"
Although Prince Xuan Ji didn't cultivate the Heaven and Earth realm, as the Emperor Xuan Ji, he could control the Void Formation and harness some of the power of the Heaven and Earth Cauldron. With this, he could unleash the might of the Human Sovereign Seal!
The small seal burst with boundless light and unleashed the power of Heaven and Earth that Chen Mu was all too familiar with. It descended upon him like a towering peak connecting heaven and earth, its oppressive force suffocating. Despite its small size, the seal seemed to crush Chen Mu with its overwhelming might.
"A display of amateurish skill."
Chen Mu looked up, his expression calm and fearless. If it were Ji Yongzhao here, in his prime state with the Heaven and Earth Body, and the realm of a Heaven Person, wielding the Imperial Seal of the Human Sovereign and the Void Formation, perhaps he could pose some threat. But relying solely on his initial blood replacement skills, even if he forcefully activated the power of the Imperial Seal through the Void Formation, it still wouldn't amount to much.
As the Imperial Seal descended, Chen Mu didn't even react at first. Instead, he flipped his right hand, and an ancient-looking long knife suddenly fell into his grasp. Then, his gaze shifted towards the Hall of Supreme Authority behind Ji Xuanfei. With a mighty heave, he threw the Heaven and Earth Knife forward!
Heaven and Earth Throw!
With this throw, he harnessed the pure power of Heaven and Earth, fully unleashing his physical strength. Even under the suppression of the Void Formation, he still managed to tear open a dense web of white cracks in the void, which continued to spread out.
The knife's light slashed like a long rainbow, causing even Ji Xuanfei, standing before the Hall, to gasp and instinctively dodge to the side. But the next moment, he realized that the knife wasn't aimed at him.
Whoosh!
In front of the Hall, a ripple appeared in the void, and the figure of the Ghostly Shadow Sect Master suddenly materialized, directly in the path of the Heaven and Earth Knife's blade. He was forced to reveal himself!
"Nether Ghost Shadow!"
He knew he was at a life-or-death juncture and had no time for hesitation. With a loud roar, he ignited his martial blood and unleashed the Ghostly Shadow Sect's martial arts to their fullest. Holding a Nether Ghost Needle in his hand, he launched an attack towards the rainbow-like slash of the Heaven and Earth Knife.
Clang!
Even under the suppression of the Void Formation, Chen Mu's knife still managed to tear through the void, creating a web of cracks. In the moment of collision with the Ghostly Shadow Sect Master, there was only a brief pause before the surging Heaven and Earth power directly overwhelmed the Ghostly Shadow Essence Energy, shattering the spiritual light on the Nether Ghost Needle and causing the entire needle to fly out of his grasp.
Amidst the shocked gazes of onlookers, Chen Mu's knife pierced through the Ghostly Shadow Sect Master's chest, sending him flying backwards dozens of zhang and slamming him into the grand Hall of Supreme Authority!
"No..."
The Ghostly Shadow Sect Master's chest was pierced, and his eyes revealed an unwillingness. He seemed to want to say something more, but the next instant, the Heaven and Earth Knife pierced through the entire court, finally nailing itself into the dragon pillar of the Hall. A surge of Heaven and Earth power exploded from his body, shattering his entire physique into pieces of flesh and blood that splattered everywhere.
The Imperial Seal had just crushed a Heaven Person and eleven blood replacement experts who had entangled him. Chen Mu, with his unstoppable might, had slashed the Ghostly Shadow Sect Master with a single knife, ending his life in the Hall of Supreme Authority!
Blood stained the Hall!
As the most revered and sacred hall of the Great Xuan Empire, it had not been tainted by blood for countless years. But now, not only was it splattered with blood, but it was the blood of a blood replacement expert!
The Blood Concealment Tower Master, the Ghostly Shadow Sect Master, the Eastern Governor, and the Western Governor—these two newly established departments of the Great Xuan court, embodying Ji Xuanfei's will to follow the path of slaughter—had all died on the spot after engaging with Chen Mu for merely a moment!
After annihilating the Ghostly Shadow Sect Master.
Chen Mu calmly dealt with the descending Imperial Seal.
He slightly lifted his head, clenched his right fist, and with a mighty upward swing, he struck the Imperial Seal with his bare hand!
Boom!!!
Chen Mu's fist collided with the Imperial Seal, and for a moment, the entire earth seemed to tremble. The ground beneath Chen Mu's feet, already fragmented and broken, couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure and collapsed, forming a giant pit dozens of zhang in radius!
The various Essence Energies and Soft Energies that had entangled Chen Mu's body, constantly tearing at him, also exploded in pieces during the collision between Chen Mu and the Imperial Seal. It was as if the chains binding Chen Mu's body had suddenly snapped under the overwhelming force.
As the aftershocks dissipated.
Chen Mu remained standing in his original spot, in the center of the collapsed square. His right fist was raised, holding back the Imperial Seal, and he withstood the pressure that felt like a heavenly peak collapsing!
"The legendary Imperial Seal, finally revealed its true form. It's indeed not bad."
Chen Mu, with one fist holding back the Imperial Seal, evaluated it with a light tone. Then, a glint appeared in his eyes, and he swiftly transformed his fist into a palm, grabbing the bottom of the Imperial Seal. The Heaven and Earth power surged from his palm, flowing into the Imperial Seal, causing it to tremble violently and emit a buzzing sound.
"Not good, he's trying to seize the Imperial Seal! Stop him!"
Ruan Tian's expression changed, and he shouted, unsheathing his sword and charging towards Chen Mu.
The Imperial Seal, a royal treasure of the Great Xuan Empire, was the symbol of the emperor's authority over the realm. It had been refined by generations of the Ji family, and normally, it couldn't be taken away easily. However, the problem was that Ji Xuanfei wasn't a cultivator of the Heaven and Earth Principle, he was only using the Void Formation to forcefully activate the power of the Imperial Seal. On the other hand, Chen Mu was a genuine blood replacement expert of the Heaven and Earth Principle!
Furthermore, if Chen Mu's understanding of the Heaven and Earth Principle had reached the level of Heaven Person, then seizing the Imperial Seal from Ji Xuanfei would only take an instant!
"..."
Ji Xuanfei's face also changed at this moment, and his entire body erupted with energy, soaring towards the clouds. He merged with the Void Formation, attempting to seize control of the Imperial Seal from afar, and a stalemate ensued between him and Chen Mu.
Crackle!
Chen Mu, with one hand holding the Imperial Seal, felt the seal constantly trembling in his palm. It seemed to be caught in a dilemma, pulled by the Void Formation and forcefully seized by his Heaven and Earth power. The two forces, centered on the Imperial Seal, violently clashed, emitting a crackling sound like thunder.
At the same time, Ruan Tian's Boundless Sword, having unleashed its terrifying sharpness under his control, arrived at Chen Mu's back!
Chen Mu's gaze remained calm and indifferent, and without changing his expression, he turned around. With one hand holding the Imperial Seal, he reached out with his other hand, grabbing towards Ruan Tian's Boundless Sword, completely ignoring its sharpness and forcefully seizing it in his palm!
Buzz!
The Boundless Sword, a spirit armament, emitted a boundless sharpness under Ruan Tian's control. But when it landed in Chen Mu's palm, it merely managed to tear open a blood-stained mouth on his hand. This wound, which had only appeared for an instant, quickly healed at a visible speed, and Chen Mu's left hand forcefully suppressed the entire Boundless Sword!
"Four Seasons Rotation!"
The Master of the Mystic Pavilion and other blood replacement experts, seeing Chen Mu holding the Imperial Seal in one hand and suppressing the Boundless Sword with the other, all roared and charged towards him.
Despite knowing that their attacks were useless against Chen Mu, the eleven strands of Primordial Energy they unleashed were not meant to kill, but to suppress and entangle. The various restraining techniques surrounded Chen Mu from all directions, trapping him in the center.
However, even with the eleven strands of Primordial Energy and the Void Formation working together, they still couldn't suppress Chen Mu. He stood firmly in the center, his Heaven and Earth Physique resembling an immovable reef, unmoved by the crashing waves.
The Boundless Sword, which could barely harm Chen Mu, was suppressed by him. The energy of the Void Formation covering the Imperial Seal of the Human Sovereign was also being gradually destroyed by Chen Mu, and control was slowly shifting towards him.
The situation seemed irreversible, and everyone could see that the defeat of Ji Xuanfei's side was inevitable if this stalemate continued.
For a moment, as they gazed towards the Imperial City and the numerous figures in front of the Hall of Supreme Authority, an unbelievable thought crossed their minds. Could the thousand-year-old Great Xuan Dynasty, which ruled the world, be defeated by Chen Mu, a lone martial artist?
"Is the court about to lose?"
The elder of the Heavenly Strategy Manor, standing dozens of li away, stared at the scene in front of the Hall of Supreme Authority, also finding it hard to believe.
The old Taoist, whom he called the 'Heavenly Calculator', stood by with a wine gourd, seemingly drunk as he watched the direction of the hall. "It's too early... The court's methods can't be limited to this... Ji Xuanfei isn't a fool. Knowing that Chen Mu's Heaven and Earth Physique is unparalleled in the world, why would he choose to fight in such a way?"
As if to prove the old Taoist's words, even though Ji Xuanfei's side was at a significant disadvantage, and Chen Mu was about to seize the Imperial Seal, making it impossible to fight against him, everyone remained calm, especially Ji Xuanfei. As Chen Mu took the Imperial Seal, the remaining energy of the Void Formation on it was gradually destroyed by Chen Mu, reaching its limit. The initial shock in Ji Xuanfei's eyes faded, replaced by a deep, serene gaze filled with cold killing intent.
"Now!"
The entire area in front of the Hall of Supreme Authority suddenly fell silent.
The steady rain drops froze in mid-air, and everything came to a standstill. An invisible force spread throughout the hall.
A massive aura suddenly soared into the sky.
This was a Heaven and Man Master, and his energy was distinctively recognizable. As soon as it appeared, people could identify it, including Chen Mu, who also recognized it instantly, as he had experienced it before.
Yang Qingshan of the Southern Swamp Sorcerer Sect!
This Heaven and Man Master, appearing at some point on the dragon eaves of the hall, wore a long robe, his eyes expressionless, holding a black lacquered jade orb that emanated an indescribable energy.
Everyone's vision blurred for a moment, and they seemed to see Yang Qingshan's figure rising towards the sky, becoming a towering shadow that stepped towards Chen Mu.
When they regained their senses, they saw that Yang Qingshan was still standing in his original position, his eyes vacant and lifeless, as if he had lost his spirit. The black lacquered jade orb in his hand had somehow turned pure white, and the black mist within it had completely dissipated.
The Boundless Sword Master, witnessing this scene, was filled with confusion, not understanding what had just happened. However, all the Blood Transformation Realm masters present had their faces turn pale. Having tempered their Soul Cores in the Blood Transformation Realm, they were no longer ordinary, and they could see that Yang Qingshan had used a technique that directly targeted the Soul Core.
This was not a Heaven and Man technique or a Martial Dao skill, but a deadly attack aimed at the Soul Core! No one in the world could ignore the physical body and directly attack another's Soul Core. Yang Qingshan couldn't do it either, and the only reason he could was because of the jade orb in his hand.
The black lacquered jade orb, glowing with spiritual light, was not a Spirit Weapon or an artifact from this world. It was a treasure from the Great Wilderness, a rare artifact capable of attacking another's Soul Core.
"Die!"
Ji Xuanfei stared at Chen Mu with murderous intent in his eyes.
The treasure from the Great Wilderness, wielded by a Heaven and Man Master, could attack the Soul Core. This was one of Ji Xuanfei's true trump cards, and his real killing move against Chen Mu.
Since Chen Mu's physique was unparalleled in the world, invincible, they would ignore his body and directly kill his Soul Core.
All the previous confrontations were merely lures, meant to restrict Chen Mu and prevent him from evading. Although this battle would expose this trump card to the world, it was worth it to kill Chen Mu's Soul Core. Afterward, they could turn Chen Mu's body into a puppet or a corpse puppet, which even Blood Transformation Realm masters and Heaven and Man Masters would find difficult to damage.
