Sword Drawn, Chaos Annihilated, Xing Tian Defeated! The Prize Claimed!

With a shout, Qin Mu fiercely brought down the Grass Sword in his hand.

The sword emerged, Chaos Sword Qi spreading out as it charged straight toward Xing Tian's Three Axes of Heaven-Opening.

"Rumble!"

In an instant, this Small World shook violently.

Terrifying sword force swept across everything, tearing the Void apart wherever it passed.

Qin Mu's sword contained the immense might of Heaven-Opening.

Beneath its vast swordly might, even the laws within the Small World began to collapse, while space shattered inch by inch like a mirror!

"Bang, bang..."

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

The instant they touched, Xing Tian's axe force crumbled like rotten wood, annihilated into nothingness by Qin Mu's Heaven-Opening Sword.

"What?"

At the sight, Xing Tian, transformed into a thousand-zhang giant, was left utterly dumbfounded.

He had never expected the Three Axes of Heaven-Opening, in which he took such pride, to be so fragile before Qin Mu's single sword strike.

More than that, upon sensing the sword force Qin Mu had unleashed, his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

At the same time, Kuafu's face was filled with shock.

"This?"

"Wh-what a terrifying sword!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu is only a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo realm. How could he unleash such a mighty sword art?"

Kuafu spoke with a trembling voice, swallowing mouthful after mouthful of saliva.

When he had seen Xing Tian unleash the Three Axes of Heaven-Opening just now, he had still been worried whether Qin Mu could withstand them.

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

That terrifying power instantly overwhelmed Xing Tian's Three Axes of Heaven-Opening.

The once-mighty axe force vanished in an instant beneath the onslaught of sword force.

Just as Xing Tian and Kuafu stood stunned, the sword Qin Mu had unleashed had already crushed the axe force. Its remaining might did not diminish in the least as it began to ravage everything wildly.

"Rumble!"

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

As the sword force swept through, this Small World shook even more violently, already on the verge of total collapse.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Kuafu was greatly shaken and cried out in alarm.

Without time to consider anything else, he flashed forward and flew toward Xing Tian.

Looking again, Kuafu had already revealed his Great Witch true form.

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

"Xing Tian!"

"What are you still standing there for?"

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

Hearing this, Xing Tian finally came back to his senses. Without further thought, he immediately summoned his Xing Tian Shield to block the incoming sword force.

"Boom!!"

"Bang, bang!"

Earth-shaking explosions rang out.

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

Yet under that immense impact, the Wu Clan's Small World could no longer endure and began to collapse completely.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Chaos currents poured backward into it, while the Vajra Wind howled fiercely.

The space occupied by the three of them rapidly disintegrated as well!

Before the Small World could fully collapse, Qin Mu and the other two flew out through the shattered Void.

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

At this moment, Kuafu and Xing Tian were both still shaken with lingering fear.

Whenever they thought of Qin Mu's sword just now, their scalps tingled.

Standing to one side, Qin Mu was equally astonished.

He had never imagined that the Heaven-Opening Sword he had just comprehended would possess such terrifying power, destroying the Wu Clan's Small World with a single strike.

This divine ability's power is anything but ordinary!

It's just that the consumption is far too great.

Qin Mu secretly sighed.

He had merely unleashed the Heaven-Opening Sword, yet nearly all the mana within him had been drained away, leaving his face somewhat pale.

Just as Qin Mu stood lost in thought, Xing Tian and Kuafu both turned to look at him.

Xing Tian's face was full of shock.

"What a terrifying sword."

"Had Kuafu not acted just now and joined me in blocking that sword..."

"With my strength alone, even if I did not die beneath Fellow Daoist Qin Mu's strike, I would surely have been gravely wounded."

At that thought, Xing Tian could not help but shudder inwardly. After taking a deep breath, he said to Qin Mu:

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu."

"I lost the sparring match earlier!"

Xing Tian was exceedingly sincere when he said this. Though he had lost to Qin Mu, he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly.

Kuafu glanced at Qin Mu and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu."

"The power of that sword you used just now was far too great!"

"I fear no ordinary Golden Immortal of the Great Luo realm could possibly withstand it."

Hearing Xing Tian and Kuafu's words, Qin Mu came back to his senses. He clasped his hands toward them, his face full of apology.

"My two fellow Daoists, I am truly sorry!"

"I failed to control the force of that sword just now, causing that Small World to collapse and nearly injuring Fellow Daoist Xing Tian."

Though he spoke thus, Qin Mu was secretly mulling it over.

The Heaven-Opening Sword possesses immense power.

Even with my Golden Immortal of the Great Luo realm cultivation, I can unleash such horrifying might!

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

At that thought, even Qin Mu's heart trembled.

At this moment, Xing Tian smiled faintly and replied:

"It is nothing."

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu need not take the collapse of the Small World to heart."

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

Having said that, Xing Tian casually waved his hand. Immediately afterward, two streams of light flew straight toward Qin Mu.

Within the shimmering light were the Fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation Xing Tian had previously promised Qin Mu, as well as a drop of his own essence blood.

Seeing this, Qin Mu was greatly shaken.

Naturally, he knew how extraordinary these two items were.

The Fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation contained the power of Great Dao laws, while Xing Tian's essence blood contained Heaven-Shattering Malevolent Energy.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu, accept them!"

"They are both what you deserve."

Xing Tian's voice rang out.

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

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

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

Qin Mu did not conceal anything and replied:

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

Xing Tian gave a soft grunt. He had already learned earlier that Qin Mu was a Three Pure Ones' Disciple.

At this moment, Kuafu suddenly looked toward Qin Mu and said with a smile:

"Xing Tian and I both serve under Ancestral Witch Houtu."

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

"I imagine the Ancestral Witch will also be very interested in your sword Dao."

After Kuafu said this, Xing Tian hurriedly added:

"Kuafu is right."

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

"When the time comes, I shall certainly have another proper spar with you!"

Qin Mu nodded slightly and said:

"Very well. When I have the time, I will certainly come to visit."

Afterward, Qin Mu did not linger any longer. Bidding farewell to Kuafu and Xing Tian, he transformed into a stream of light and departed into the distance.

Above the clouds and mist, he looked back at the towering Buzhou Mountain, his heart filled with countless emotions.

This journey through Buzhou Mountain had brought him an abundant harvest.

His battle with Xing Tian had won him the precious Fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation and a drop of Xing Tian's essence blood. It had also allowed him to comprehend the peerless divine ability, One Sword to Open Heaven.
