More than ten feet away, the figures of Chen Mu and Gu Xiaochen landed on the ground. Gu Xiaochen’s face was pale, his breath disordered. He glanced sideways at the void that had collapsed behind them, involuntarily taking a deep breath, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected that Chen Mu could directly withstand his Fractured Void Sword like this, nor had he expected that Chen Mu’s method of breaking technique with force would unleash such terrifying damage to the void, to the extent that after his sword light was shattered, he couldn’t muster the strength to escape the tearing of the void. If Chen Mu hadn’t pulled him back, he would likely have perished in the void!
"Thank you."
Gu Xiaochen turned back, deeply looking at Chen Mu and sighed with admiration: "This sword of mine is still unrefined and difficult to control. Indeed, Saint Chen’s mastery in martial arts is profound; even my Eighth Ultimate Sword can be broken with mere strength. Is the path of body refining truly the correct one?"
Chen Mu listened and slightly shook his head, saying: "The Way of the Void, mysterious and extraordinary, is the Origin Dao, which surpasses martial arts and is the path of cultivation for the God Realm. If not for my physique being slightly stronger, I would find it challenging to handle this sword from you, senior. If this sword could go further, not only wandering beyond heaven and earth but even harnessing the Void Force for one’s use, that would be stepping into the Great Dao, and I might not be able to withstand it with my current means."
He spoke the words quite honestly.
Gu Xiaochen’s sword, though incorporating a few subtleties of the void, when faced directly, Chen Mu understood that this sword was far from truly grasping the Origin Dao and couldn’t even be considered a rudimentary form. It merely incorporated some mysteries of the void, after all. When this sword was thrust, it merely wandered outside the world, drifting in the void, unobstructed but unable to gain any benefits from the void.
If it truly could gain benefits from the void and inversely harness the Void Force, mastering a genuine embryonic form of the Void Dao, then pared to now, indeed there would be petition, and even the oute would be hard to predict!
After all, if one can prehend an embryonic form of the Origin Dao, it matches the level of cultivating an Immortal Divine Body and Divine Heart, qualifying one to step into the ’Divine Under Fifth Rank’ realm, a leap to the heavens!
However, Gu Xiaochen’s physique was too weak; he hadn’t even achieved the Great Success of Blood Exchange, and his Soul Heart Strength was far from high. In such circumstances, even if he truly mastered the embryonic form of the Void Dao, he might not be able to fully unleash its power, or even withstand the backlash of its aftermath, so whether he can reach the ’Divine Under Fifth Rank’ remains to be seen.
Even so, withstanding this sword from Gu Xiaochen still brought immense insight to Chen Mu, and even now, he was continuously recalling the subtlety of that sword in his mind.
Moreover, the Experience Points on the system panel for the Void Dao were also continuously increasing!
"Void Mysterious, Origin Dao..."
Chen Mu felt a myriad of Spiritual Lights flashing through his mind, but at this moment, he couldn’t grasp them all. He could only rely on his prehension to capture these flickering lights, turning them into an understanding of the void and Experience on the system panel.
At this moment.
Not only was Chen Mu standing still, recalling the subtlety of Gu Xiaochen’s sword, but all the Celestial Masters present seemed to have fallen into silence as their minds were continuously reflecting on Gu Xiaochen’s Fractured Void Sword.
Only Gu Xiaochen himself looked at his own body at this moment, seeing his sleeves torn by the void in the previous strike, appearing quite embarrassed, yet his demeanor unchanged. He slightly shook his head, reaching out to summon back the Absolute Sword that had been knocked away. Then he looked at Chen Mu, carefully recalling the terrifying Physical Strength he sensed from Chen Mu up close, and his heart was tumultuous.
It turns out that when one’s physique is strong enough, one can also shake the void with bare hands, breaking technique with force!
He had thought that if he could pletely master this sword, there would be no rival in the world, and he would transcend all martial arts. But now, it seems he was somewhat short-sighted.
Martial Arts, Martial Arts, with martial es the Dao; any path cultivated to its pinnacle is by no means inferior to others. prehending the mysteries of the void certainly transcends heaven and earth, but cultivating a Peerless Martial Body like Chen Mu can also prove the Dao through force and municate with the Divine through martial might!
And...
The confrontation of that strike also made him aware of his inadequacies. This yet-unrefined strike, in its direct clash with Chen Mu, caused a collapse of the void with resulting ripples even he could not bear. If truly mastered, even if a single sword could crown the world, with his physique and strength, could he truly wield such a sword?
