Using one's body as a seal?"
Seeing Dongfang Yu's crazed act, a hint of solemnity appeared in Mu Yun's eyes.
At this moment, Dongfang Yu was like a mad dog that had completely lost its mind, utterly abandoning its own life and wanting to drag him down with it.
Mu Yun wasn't unfamiliar with using one's body as a seal, but to see such a method appear within the tenth level of the Physical Body Realm, among Yellow-Rank martial arts, was truly astonishing.
The power of the Eight Desolations Chant had brought him far too many surprises.
"Now, there's no other way but to fight!"
Mu Yun smiled calmly, his palm gradually moving.
In his previous life, as the Supreme Immortal King of countless great worlds, Mu Yun had countless martial arts techniques in his memory.
However, some martial arts techniques, although powerful, Mu Yun wasn't sure if he could successfully activate them with his current level.
"Instructor Mu..."
Seeing that Mu Yun still intended to withstand the attack, Miao Xianyu was somewhat incredulous.
From the four black-robed figures at the beginning, to Jin Dong, and now to Dongfang Yu, how many more tricks does Mu Yun have up his sleeve?
"The Heavenly Dao is mysterious and empty, its punishments hollow. The chaos of Heaven is met with the man's mending of Heaven, the way to mend Heaven."
Mu Yun murmured continuously, true essence flowing between his hands, a powerful aura emanating from him like melting snow.
"The Sword Dao of Mending Heaven!"
With a low shout, Mu Yun brought his index and middle fingers together, and a long sword of true essence slowly extended.
Finally, the sword of true essence widened to three fingers' width and three feet's length before stopping.
However, the sword of true essence that Mu Yun condensed at this moment was significantly different from the sword of true essence he had used in his previous attacks.
Miao Xianyu stood to the side, unable to pinpoint the difference.
Yet, she sensed, in a vague way, that the sword of true essence seemed to contain an aura, and it was that aura that made this sword of true essence appear even more terrifying.
"The Heaven-Mending Sword Dao..."
Miao Xianyu secretly memorized the name.
"True Essence Sword? Your True Essence Sword couldn't even withstand my Eight Desolate Chant Three Seals. I used my death as the seal, how could it possibly withstand it?"
Dongfang Yu's face was full of arrogance.
Since Mu Yun wouldn't give him a chance to live, he would drag Mu Yun down with him before he died. Even if he died, it would be worth it!
Facing Dongfang Yu's mockery, Mu Yun didn't care. His eyes were completely focused on the True Essence Sword in his hand.
The long sword became more and more solid. At first glance, it looked like a real sword. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Mu Yun's face turned pale, but his eyes were filled with joy.
Only at this moment did he look at Dongfang Yu.
"Kill!"
However, at this moment, Mu Yun's eyes showed a bit of ruthlessness.
"Kill!"
At the same time, the
black became denser and denser, gradually converging into a ball, enveloping Dongfang Yu's figure.
His voice floated out from the black ball, hoarse and deep.
In an instant, the two figures collided.
Boom…
The earth shook once more, but this time, even standing dozens of meters away, one could see the ground crack beneath their feet.
Such power was beyond the capabilities of a martial artist at the tenth level of the Physical Body Realm.
Perhaps only a powerhouse at the tenth level of the Spiritual Aperture Realm could accomplish it.
The deafening explosion echoed, causing chaos and the howling of beasts throughout the forest.
In the center of the arena, two figures stood straight and unyielding.
It was Mu Yun and Dongfang Yu.
What was the outcome?
Miao Xianyu's heart was in her throat.
"Pfft…"
However, her doubts didn't last long, as a coughing sound of blood suddenly rang out.
A gaping hole in Dongfang Yu's chest, gushing blood, his life force gradually dissipating.
He won?
Seeing this, Miao Xianyu opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word; tears streamed down her face.
This battle was not only Mu Yun's battle, but also a battle concerning her life and death.
"Mu Yun, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"
Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour Mu Yun alive.
As one of the three genius instructors of Beiyun Academy, he could have had the opportunity to teach at Nanyun Academy in the capital, but now…
"Mu Yun, don't be so smug. I, Dongfang Yu, will use my body as a seal; the death aura within me will be transferred to you without reservation. You will soon come to see me!"
With these words, Dongfang Yu stood upright, motionless, and silent.
Suddenly, a cloud of black smoke enveloped Mu Yun's body, transforming into a black light that covered his skin.
*Thump*…
He sat down heavily on the ground, panting heavily. Mu Yun's skin gradually turned black.
"Master Mu, Master Mu, how are you?"
"I'm fine. I'm poisoned, don't touch me. Now, let's leave immediately!" Mu Yun said urgently. "The fighting here has probably alerted the nearby martial artists. We need to find a safe place. Let's go!"
"Okay, okay!"
Miao Xianyu was completely lost and didn't know what to do. Mu Yun's words were everything to her. "Wait, don't forget to
take the spirit stones, martial arts techniques, and treasures these guys have !" Hearing Mu Yun's words, Miao Xianyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. At this moment, Mu Yun was still thinking about these things. He was really greedy! "By the way, especially Dongfang Yu's Eight Desolations Chant. Such a mysterious and unpredictable martial art, we must get our hands on it!" Mu Yun couldn't help but remind her again. "I know, I know, you money-grubber!" ... At the foot of a mountain in the Northern Cloud Mountains, there was a cave more than two meters high, with stones piled up at the entrance. At this moment, two figures sat cross-legged inside the cave. It was Mu Yun and Miao Xianyu. At this moment, Mu Yun was surrounded by black mist and exuded an aura of death. Even sitting three meters away from Mu Yun, Miao Xianyu could still feel that aura of death.
Within his body, the black energy coiled around almost every meridian, coursing through every vein.
The black energy relentlessly entwined itself within him, and Mu Yun could sense its intense devouring force, tearing at his body.
"Damn it!"
He tried every possible method, but Mu Yun was still powerless against that deathly energy.
"It's a pity my cultivation level is too low right now. If I were to enter the Spirit Aperture Realm, open the ten major acupoints within my body, and nourish myself with true essence, what would this deathly energy be!"
Just as Mu Yun felt helpless, he suddenly realized that the black energy was almost omnipresent throughout his body.
However, his mind remained completely clear; the black energy only reached his neck before refusing to advance any further.
"My mind..."
Mu Yun suddenly realized, his mind containing only the Immortal Execution Diagram.
"Could it be because of the Immortal Execution Diagram?"
Mu Yun's mind jolted. He exerted all his strength, controlling his true essence, binding a wisp of black energy, and sending it rushing towards his mind.
In that instant, Mu Yun felt fear and repulsion emanating from the black energy, as if something within his mind was causing him to tremble.
"Fear? The more afraid you are, the more I'll let you in!"
Mu Yun gritted his teeth, ignoring the black energy's resistance, unleashing a powerful surge of true essence that surged directly towards his brain.
*Thud*...
The black energy ultimately couldn't resist Mu Yun and crashed into his brain.
But in that collision, a corner of the Immortal Execution Diagram in Mu Yun's mind exploded.
A powerful suction force churned Mu Yun's head, almost causing him to faint.
At this moment, it felt as if countless blades were churning within his mind, trying to tear his head apart and completely disintegrate him.
"Hmph! No matter how powerful you were in your past life, now you're one with me, I am your master. Don't be too smug, one day I will tear this lousy diagram apart!"
Mu Yun endured
the pain, constantly cursing.
With a whoosh…
the cursing subsided, and in the next moment, a corner of the Heaven-Slaying Diagram opened, releasing a powerful and righteous force that swept through Mu Yun's entire body.
That force, brimming with vitality, absorbed all of Mu Yun's injuries.
Gradually, the energy within his body began to pulsate.
Nourishing the meridians with Qi!
He was about to enter the sixth level of the Meridian Condensation Realm!
Mu Yun was overjoyed and began to carefully comprehend it.
While Qi energy couldn't compare to true essence, it was superior in its flexibility, offering both a tempering and a gentle approach to the meridians.
Therefore, in the Meridian Condensation Realm, nourishing the meridians with Qi was the best method for nurturing a martial artist's meridians.
Mu Yun understood that the path of a martial artist would be fraught with countless dangers in the future. At the tenth level of the physical body realm, he had to diligently build a solid foundation and perfect his physical body.
Even with the memories and experience of his previous life, he dared not be careless now, proceeding step by step, following the rules meticulously!
After a long while, he let out a soft breath, satisfied with the changes within his body.
The Meridian Condensation Realm was indeed much stronger than the Qi Condensation Realm.
Nourishing the meridians with Qi fills them with the power of Qi, greatly enhancing both flexibility and strength.
This step is absolutely incomparable to the Qi Condensation Realm.
"The black Qi...it's gone!"
Coming to his senses, Mu Yun suddenly realized that the black Qi within his body had completely vanished.
"No, it hasn't disappeared!"
Suddenly, Mu Yun felt a ball of black Qi in his abdomen condense to the size of a thumb.
The black Qi looked more like a black pill.
"This..."
Mu Yun was somewhat surprised to find that the black pill formed from the condensed black Qi was now incredibly docile, curled up in his abdomen like a well-behaved cat, completely still.
A thought struck him, and Mu Yun was speechless.
This black Qi pill was now completely obedient to him, entirely under his control.
"This deathly aura was formed by Dongfang Yu using his own body as a seal, connecting with the power of heaven and earth. Its destructive power is immense, hidden within his body. At crucial moments, it can unexpectedly kill opponents, even more powerful than hidden weapons!"
Having made up his mind, Mu Yun sensed the Heaven-Slaying Diagram. As expected, the Heaven-Slaying Diagram, which had been partially unfolded, was now slowly closing again.
"There will be plenty of time to unravel its secrets later!"
His current cultivation level was too low, so Mu Yun wasn't worried about the Heaven-Slaying Diagram escaping.
Gradually, as time went on, Mu Yun could feel the connection between himself and the Heaven-Slaying Diagram growing stronger. Given time, it would be difficult to distinguish between them.
"This time, the gains were considerable, but what surprised me most was the Eight Desolations Chant!" Having made up his mind, Mu Yun awoke from his seated meditation.
