Sword Drawn, Chaos Annihilated, Xing Tian Defeated! Prize Secured!

With a shout, Qin Mu swung the Grass Sword in his hand in a single, decisive slash.

The sword lashed out, Chaos Qi Flow surging as it met the Three Axes of Heaven-Opening cleaving toward him from Xing Tian.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In an instant, this small world trembled violently.

Terrifying sword force tore through everything in its path, the void itself ripped apart.

This one sword from Qin Mu carried the might of Heaven-Opening.

Under its sweeping sword majesty, the laws within the small world began to collapse, and space shattered like a mirror into countless fragments!

"Bang, bang..."

In less than a breath, the sword force collided with Xing Tian's Three Axes of Heaven-Opening.

The moment they touched, Xing Tian's axe power crumbled instantly, annihilated into nothingness by Qin Mu's Heaven-Opening Sword.

"Ah?"

Seeing this, Xing Tian, now a thousand-zhang giant, stood dumbfounded.

He never imagined that his proud Three Axes of Heaven-Opening would prove so fragile and weak under Qin Mu's single sword strike.

What's more, feeling the sword force Qin Mu had unleashed, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Meanwhile, Kuafu, witnessing this, was equally shaken.

"This?"

"Such... such a terrifying sword!"

"Brother Qin Mu is merely a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal—how can he unleash sword technique of such power?"

Kuafu stammered, swallowing hard.

Just moments ago, when he saw Xing Tian unleash the Three Axes of Heaven-Opening, he had worried whether Qin Mu could withstand it.

Who would have thought that Qin Mu would counter with One Sword to Open Heaven?

Its terrifying might instantly overshadowed Xing Tian's Three Axes of Heaven-Opening.

The once-mighty axe power, under the assault of the sword force, vanished in an instant.

While Xing Tian and Kuafu were still stunned, the sword Qin Mu had swung had already crushed the axe power, and the remaining sword force, undiminished, began to rage wildly.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The sword force churned, shaking this small world even more violently, now on the verge of total collapse.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Kuafu's heart jolted, and he couldn't help but cry out.

Without a second thought, he flashed and sped toward Xing Tian.

Looking closely, Kuafu had already manifested his Great Witch True Body.

His thousand-zhang frame stood shoulder to shoulder with Xing Tian.

"Xing Tian!"

"What are you standing there for?"

Seeing Xing Tian still frozen in shock, Kuafu shouted urgently.

Hearing this, Xing Tian snapped back to reality. Without time to think, he directly summoned his Xing Tian Shield to block the onrushing sword force.

"Boom!!"

"Bang, bang!"

An earth-shattering explosion rang out.

With Kuafu and Xing Tian joining forces, they finally managed to withstand Qin Mu's sword.

But under this immense impact, the Witch Clan's small world could no longer hold and began to collapse entirely.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Chaos Qi Flow poured in, fierce winds howling.

The space where the three stood rapidly disintegrated!

Before the small world fully collapsed, Qin Mu and the other two flew out from the shattered void.

When they reappeared, the three had landed at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Now, both Kuafu and Xing Tian were still shaken.

Thinking back to Qin Mu's sword just now, they felt their scalps tingle.

Qin Mu stood to the side, equally stunned.

He never expected that the Heaven-Opening Sword he had just comprehended would possess such terrifying power—one sword had shattered the Witch Clan's entire small world.

"The might of this divine ability is truly extraordinary!"

"But the consumption is far too great."

Qin Mu sighed inwardly.

Having just executed the Heaven-Opening Sword, the mana within his body was nearly drained, leaving his complexion somewhat pale.

Just as Qin Mu was lost in thought, Xing Tian and Kuafu both turned to look at him at the same time.

Xing Tian's face was filled with shock.

"What a terrifying sword strike."

"If not for Kuafu's intervention, joining me to block that blow together..."

"On my own, under Fellow Daoist Qin Mu's sword, even if I didn't die, I would likely be severely wounded."

At this thought, Xing Tian couldn't help but shudder. After taking a deep breath, he spoke to Qin Mu:

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu."

"In our earlier sparring match, I concede defeat!"

As he said this, Xing Tian appeared utterly sincere. Though he had lost to Qin Mu, he accepted it wholeheartedly.

Kuafu glanced at Qin Mu and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu."

"That sword strike of yours just now was far too powerful!"

"An ordinary Golden Immortal of the Origin would likely be unable to withstand it at all."

Hearing what Xing Tian and Kuafu said, Qin Mu snapped back to reality. He cupped his hands toward the two and said apologetically:

"Two fellow daoists, my sincerest apologies!"

"That sword strike just now—This Humble One failed to control its force, causing that small world to collapse and nearly injuring Fellow Daoist Xing Tian."

Though he said this aloud, Qin Mu was muttering inwardly.

"The Heaven-Opening Sword's might is immense."

"Executed with my Golden Immortal of the Origin cultivation, it unleashes such terrifying power!"

"If my strength reaches the level of a Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, could I truly destroy the Primordial Wilderness with a single sword?"

At this thought, Qin Mu's heart trembled.

Just then, Xing Tian smiled faintly and replied:

"No matter."

"As for the collapse of that small world, Fellow Daoist Qin Mu need not dwell on it."

"This time, I am the one who lost."

With that, Xing Tian waved his hand casually, and two streaks of light flew straight toward Qin Mu.

Within the shimmering light were the Creation Jade Disk Fragment that Xing Tian had promised Qin Mu earlier, along with a drop of his own Quintessential Blood.

Seeing this, Qin Mu's heart shook.

He naturally understood the extraordinary nature of these two items.

The Creation Jade Disk Fragment contained the power of the Great Dao Laws, while Xing Tian's Quintessential Blood held the Heaven-Opening Sha Qi.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu, accept them!"

"These are what you deserve."

Xing Tian's voice rang out.

Hearing this, Qin Mu nodded. Without standing on ceremony, he put away the Creation Jade Disk Fragment and Xing Tian's drop of Quintessential Blood.

Seeing Qin Mu accept them, Xing Tian smiled in satisfaction and then asked:

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu, where do you plan to go next?"

Qin Mu did not hide his intentions and replied:

"I have been traveling for quite some time now. It's time for me to return to Kunlun Mountain and report back to my master."

Xing Tian gave a soft hum. He had already learned earlier that Qin Mu was a disciple of the Three Pure Ones.

At that moment, Kuafu suddenly looked at Qin Mu and said with a smile:

"Both Xing Tian and I serve under the Houtu Ancestral Witch."

"If Fellow Daoist Qin Mu has leisure time in the future, you are welcome to visit our Houtu Tribe."

"I'm sure the Ancestral Witch would be very interested in your sword dao."

Hearing Kuafu's words, Xing Tian quickly added:

"Kuafu speaks truly."

"Fellow Daoist, you must visit our Houtu Tribe often in the future."

"At that time, I will definitely have a good sparring session with you, Daoist friend!"

Qin Mu nodded slightly and said:

"Good. When I have free time in the future, This Humble One will surely pay a visit."

After that, Qin Mu did not linger. He bid farewell to Kuafu and Xing Tian, then transformed into a streak of light and flew far away.

Above the clouds, he looked back at the towering Buzhou Mountain, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

This journey to Buzhou Mountain had been extremely fruitful for him.

The battle with Xing Tian just now had allowed him to obtain a precious fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly and a drop of Xing Tian's Quintessential Blood, and he had also comprehended the peerless divine ability, the "Heaven-Opening Sword."
