The Strongest Sword Strike of This Age!

"Please go ahead, Elder Mo," Chen Mu said, following his lead.

He was curious about what Elder Mo wanted to say to him.

Could he be trying to find out where I got these Dragon Blood Pills?

"To tell the truth, this old servant has always been deeply interested in the Thunder Gate Sword Cultivation technique. Now that you have cultivated it to Mahayana, Young Master, might you let me witness it firsthand?" Elder Mo asked.

"I see." Chen Mu nodded, then asked, "How would you like me to demonstrate it, Elder Mo?"

"Simple. All you need to do is attack this old servant with your strongest move, Young Master," Elder Mo replied.

He began backing away, giving Chen Mu enough room to unleash his technique.

"All right." Since Elder Mo had gone that far, Chen Mu could hardly refuse.

Given how unique and rare the Thunder Gate Sword Cultivation technique was, it was perfectly natural for him to take such a keen interest in it.

Elsewhere.

When they heard that Elder Mo, a Human Immortal Realm cultivator, intended to seek instruction from the young master in an ancient, mysterious technique, many disciples hurriedly dropped what they were doing and rushed over.

They gathered to watch.

"Is that Thunder Gate Sword Cultivation technique really as incredible as you say?"

"Of course! Didn't you see? Even Elder Mo has to humbly seek instruction!"

"More than that, what I envy most is still the young master's fortune. He actually obtained an ancient predecessor's legacy!"

"What can you do? The young master awakened a Heaven-Rank Supreme Thunder Spirit Root, and Senior Brother Chen Yu just happened to have the Thunder Gate Sword Cultivation technique."

"Who do you think will win this fight?"

"Give the young master another three years to improve his cultivation, and Elder Mo will definitely lose."

In short, he believed Elder Mo, with his Human Immortal Realm cultivation, was still stronger at present.

The enormous gap between their realms could not be easily bridged with a single legacy. It needed time to settle and mature.

Listening to their conversation, Chen Mu frowned slightly, feeling rather helpless.

When did I ever say Elder Mo and I were going to decide a winner?

He was merely letting Elder Mo see the wonders of the Thunder Gate Sword Cultivation technique.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble...

Thunderclouds gathered once more, blotting out the sky and moon.

As far as the eye could see, the sky darkened, and visibility plunged.

Yet in the next second, fierce winds rose amid lightning flashes and rolling thunder!

Cold light flashed repeatedly, illuminating heaven and earth like a scene from the end of the world.

Many disciples trembled in fear.

They had never witnessed such a staggering spectacle.

"This is ten times more terrifying than the earlier phenomenon—no, more than a hundred times!"

"Exactly. I feel like the sky is about to collapse."

"What's happening? Is the world ending?" a latecomer asked, bewildered and uneasy.

"Don't panic. The young master is just using a technique."

"Using a technique??"

Chen Mu's thinking was simple. Since Elder Mo wanted to broaden his horizons, there was naturally no need to hold back.

Besides, the system had obtained an Infinite Dantian for him through a check-in, so he did not need to worry that his strongest move would exhaust his spiritual energy.

He channeled his spiritual energy and activated the technique.

Overhead, countless bolts of lightning began converging, condensing into an enormous sword capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth!

Lightning surged within it, its crackling patterns flashing as they spread through the black clouds like a spiderweb.

Before the sword even descended, the immense power it contained had already shocked the onlookers into speechlessness.

They even felt that this single strike could raze the entire Tianyuan Holy Land to the ground!

It was far too terrifying.

They knew Chen Mu was strong, but they had never imagined he would be this powerful.

"Elder Mo, if you're ready, I'll unleash the sword." Chen Mu raised his right arm high, his half-closed hand facing the sky.

The lightning grew still more powerful, churning like ocean waves, its crackling deafening!

"Wait, Young Master! Please wait!"

Elder Mo's eyes, which had grown clouded as he lost himself in thought, instantly cleared upon hearing Chen Mu's words.

He hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.

His panic and fear were plain to see.

"What is it? Are you not ready yet, Elder Mo?" Chen Mu asked to confirm.

"No, Young Master. This old servant knows his strength is insufficient to withstand this strike. Please withdraw your sword," Elder Mo confessed honestly.

Faced with that sword, only one thought remained in his mind. I'll die!

This strike was more than a thousand times more terrifying than the heavenly lightning he had faced when breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm!

If he took it head-on, even if he managed to survive, at least half his cultivation would be blasted away.

Elder Mo truly did not have the courage to take that gamble.

His horizons had been broadened enough!

Whether it was Chen Mu's talent or the Thunder Gate Sword Cultivation technique, he was impressed—deeply impressed!

"I see." Since Elder Mo had said that, Chen Mu certainly could not insist on bringing the sword down.

The Tianyuan Holy Land had quite a few Human Immortal Realm cultivators, but raising even one was no easy task. If he really crippled Elder Mo, the loss would be his own.

He dispersed the lightning sword, and the black clouds rolled away, revealing the silver moon hanging high in the sky once more.

The immense pressure and aura of death looming over everyone's heads finally eased considerably.

"To think that after only a few days, the young master has already become this powerful."

"Someone said earlier that the young master stayed out of the Trial Tower for our sake. I didn't believe it then, but now I do."

"Exactly. If the young master really went in and those Spirits of Wisdom learned even a fraction of his skills, people like us might not even make it past the first floor!"

"He can scare off Elder Mo, a Human Immortal Realm cultivator, with a single move while only in the Martial Master Realm. If the young master reaches the Human Immortal Realm, who in all of Great Cang could withstand that sword?"

"No one!"

"The young master's strength has already surpassed anything we can comprehend."

Exclamations of wonder continued.

My cousin is so strong!

At that moment, Chen Yu was clearly treating Chen Mu as the goal he would strive toward in life.

He did not ask for much. If his future attainments in the sword could reach even one percent of that strike, he would be perfectly content!

As a genius sword cultivator, Chen Yu was willing to call Chen Mu's strike the strongest sword strike of this age!

Giving him the Thunder Gate Sword Cultivation technique had indeed been the right choice.

No one was better suited to the Thunder Gate Sword Cultivation technique than he was.

He murmured, "Looks like if Uncle doesn't step up his efforts, Cousin might well snatch the title of Great Emperor in this lifetime."

As Chen Mu's loyal follower, Chen Yu naturally hoped even more to see him ascend to the position of Great Emperor and reign supreme through the ages!

Just then.

Over by the Trial Tower, Ye Qingcheng sighed as she emerged from the portal.

The Trial Tower was considerably harder than she had imagined.

She had been eliminated before reaching the fiftieth floor.

The farther she progressed, the more intense her sense of helplessness became.

"Huh!" Rubbing her arms with both hands, Ye Qingcheng could not help feeling that, for some reason, the atmosphere outside the tower sent even more chills down her spine than the atmosphere inside.

Am I imagining things?

Why have so many people suddenly gathered around the Trial Tower?

Her gaze searched the crowd, soon finding Chen Mu.

She also noticed the Human Immortal Realm expert standing before him.

Did something happen?

Why did that Human Immortal Realm expert look as though he was still shaken to his core?!
