The Knife Hut servant wearing a blue robe and a small hat still wanted to say something more, but when his eyes met those of Li Mu, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. All his arrogance vanished like smoke. He felt as if he would be a dead man instantly if he dared to say one more word.
He hurriedly turned around and left to pass on the message.
Standing on the Immortal-slaying Platform, Li Mu closed his eyes to rest, because there was no longer any other challenger.
He had fought one hundred fights in a single day.
This was a miracle.
However, it was very easy for him.
This time, his main purpose was to improve his ranking on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, so he didn’t enjoy fighting or temper his Cultivation Method. No matter who the opponent was, he just ended the fight with only one strike.
Only the woman named Mo Tinglan, the “Rain Stopper”, was indeed powerful.
If it weren’t for the fact that Li Mu practiced the Xiantian Skill and he was very good at restraining and stabilizing his mind, he would probably have been caught in her “Xiaoxiang Night Rain Formation-breaking Music”. He would have failed to free himself, fallen into the Void-breaking Realm, and not been able to launch that strike at all.
Moreover, Mo Tinglan’s natural qi cultivation, combat skills, and physical strength were also very formidable. She was already a Heavenly Legend who had peeked into the King Realm. Even if Li Mu finally saw through the flaws in her Cultivation Method and combat skills, it would be difficult for him to defeat her and therefore, Li Mu used a little bit of the power of his white-bone right arm in the fight with Mo Tinglan.
He carefully concealed that power even though he used just a little bit of it.
The feedback from the surrounding practitioners indicated that no one noticed that.
Moreover, Li Mu ascertained one thing after this fight.
The thing was that the power of his white-bone right arm was really terrifying, with which he could overwhelmingly defeat anyone in the King Realm.
It was hard to tell what his fight with a real master in the King Realm would be like for the time being, but Li Mu vaguely felt that he would not be at a disadvantage.
This greatly boosted his confidence.
In the fight just now, Li Mu wielded the broadsword mostly relying on his Eye of Flaws, Broadsword Intent, and physical strength and used his natural qi as an auxiliary element.
To defeat over a hundred challengers, he just launched the same number of strikes.
The strengths of most challengers were not comparable to Li Mu’s current strength at all, so he didn’t use much of his natural qi.
In Li Mu’s heart, he vaguely understood something after he successively defeated over a hundred Heavenly Legends in a row.
This was a kind of accumulation.
His Eye of Flaws saw through the flaws of his opponents’ Cultivation Methods and combat skills, and his Samsara Knife broke those flaws. He wielded the Samsara Knife continuously as if he were hitting iron continuously. As he continued, the impurities were smashed out, and then the iron underwent a qualitative improvement and turned into refined steel.
Li Mu drew out his broadsword, struck with it, swung it, and withdrew it.
After he repeated these moves hundreds of times in a row, he had gained an unprecedented strange understanding on the use of his broadsword.
He closed his eyes and began to practice the Xiantian Skill to recover his natural qi. The feeling of wielding the broadsword was engraved on his mind.
In the Mud-pill Palace of his brain, the little figure of his “True Self Doppelganger” was imitating his movements of wielding the broadsword.
Every move gradually developed with the charms of nature.
Wherever the blade tip pointed, there was something brilliant that he had never seen before.
Hundreds of thousands of practitioners around the platform burst into an even louder uproar sounding like ocean waves.
Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes.
He saw a long saber cutting through the sky from the distance and swooping down like the Holy Light of the Absolute Beginning.
Dongmen Chuixue, the 20th super Heavenly Legend known as the “Heavenly Broadsword Striker”, was here.
The long saber flashed.
A young man with white eyebrows and white hair landed on the Immortal-slaying Platform.
His face was covered with tiny silver scales, and two silver horns protruded out of his white hair. He was dressed in white, and the skin of his face and arms was as white as snow. Standing opposite Li Mu, he looked like a snowman made of ice and snow. There were also flickering silver light spots, which looked like snowflakes swirling around him.
“Um.. this is not a human being.”
“Instead… is it from other races such as the Snow Clan or the Jade Flood Dragon Clan?”
Li Mu thought for a while. He didn’t know enough about this person.
He had no detailed information because he had had no time to ask for this person’s battle video from Dongfang Piaoliang.
However, judging by his appearance alone, he was someone from a really strange clan.
At first, Li Mu thought that the name “Dongmen Chuixue” seemed to suggest that its owner was posing himself as a lover of arts but he had gone too far.
However, Li Mu changed his mind after seeing the real person.
It was a perfect match.
This name matched well with this person.
“Strike.”
When Dongmen Chuixue spoke, there seemed to be an ice storm coming out of his mouth.
In an instant, the entire No. 21 Immortal-slaying Platform turned into a place like a world of ice and snow.
The ice lines on the floor crawled and propagated silently like snakes and worms and, soon turned into thick ice rocks.
The white light spots around Dongmen Chuixue suddenly grew ferocious and swept across the Immortal-slaying Platform like a blizzard.
The surrounding practitioners waiting to watch the fight could only see the white snow that had completely covered the entire platform, and they could not clearly see the two figures on the platform at all.
Li Mu was shocked.
“How could he have created such an oppressive atmosphere by saying only one word?”
“This Dongmen Chuixue is definitely someone in the King Realm.”
“Is he in the Potential Realm? Legend has it that it is the power the king has mastered.”
Li Mu felt shocked.
One in the King Realm could make use of heaven and earth and create his own “Potential Realm”.
“Is this snowstorm an embodiment of Dongmen Chuixue’s ‘Potential Realm’?”
Li Mu directly opened his Third Eye and Eye of Flaws without hesitation and held the Samsara Knife reversely in his hand. His general state reached the highest level.
Dongmen Chuixue was definitely the strongest opponent he had ever encountered.
He used his Eye of Flaws to capture the tracks of the surrounding snow and wind. He continuously searched for and analyzed the most basic routes of energy transfer pathways while trying to see through the snow and wind and capture Dongmen Chuixue’s movement tracks.
An indescribable chill invaded.
Li Mu had no doubt that if it weren’t for his strong physical body and special Cultivation Method, he would probably have long been frozen to death like any other ordinary general-level expert, in which case Dongmen Chuixue wouldn’t even need to draw the long saber.
“Strike.”
Dongmen Chuixue’s voice rang out again in the snowstorm “Potential Realm”.
At the right time, heaven and earth would be with you, but at the wrong time, even resourceful heroes could do nothing.
The so-called potential was the potential of heaven and earth.
It was a simple embodiment of the original rules of the Great Way of the universe. It was also a method for the masters of martial arts to acquire the potential of heaven and earth and the universe by combining the principles of martial arts with the Great Way of the universe.
Only the masters in the King Realm could take advantage of the potential of heaven and earth and the universe.
The place with such potential could turn into a “Potential Realm”.
Li Mu held the long broadsword in his hand, but he couldn’t strike with it.
He couldn’t strike with his broadsword because he had not completely figured out the composition of the “Potential Realm” with his Eye of Flaws.
“Strike.”
There came Dongmen Chuixue’s voice again.
That was the third time he urged Li Mu to draw his broadsword and strike.
“You will lose if you can’t make a strike with your broadsword.”
Dongmen Chuixue slowly walked out of the boundless blizzard.
Yes, it was indeed a boundless blizzard.
Although Li Mu knew very well that he was still on the platform now, he could only see a boundless world of blizzard. The floor under his feet was no longer a platform floor made of white stone, but a slab of ice that had been frozen for tens of millions of years. The one-meter-deep snow swallowed Li Mu’s knees like flowing sand that was about to bury him.
This was the first time Li Mu had been in a “Potential Realm”.
He felt as if he were suppressed and repelled by heaven and earth.
It was very difficult for him to see the flaws in the opponent’s Cultivation Method.
Dongmen Chuixue raised his hand casually, caught a snowflake from the snowstorm, and turned it into a crystal clear snow knife.
“What a pity. I’m very disappointed with you.”
He looked at Li Mu and swung his broadsword.
In the very next moment, the chill of the snowstorm and god-killing intent all over the sky crazily gathered in this strike. The terrifying murderous intent and energy turned into the most frightening blade between heaven and earth, slashing at Li Mu.
Li Mu had to make a move now.
Otherwise, he would surely be defeated.
He calmed his heart, emptied his mind, and captured the track of Dongmen Chuixue’s strike with his Eye of Flaws.
Clink!
The scabbard vibrated and buzzed.
Li Mu immediately unsheathed the Samsara Knife.
A twisting and spinning force burst out from Li Mu’s body. This force was the secret of the skill of Shattering of a Thousand Stars of his Zhenwu Boxing, which was activated in this way. In an instant, the ice, snow, and wind around him blew up and flew in all directions.
At the same time, the Samsara Knife emitted a flash of light.
Clink!
The stone knife and the snow knife collided.
Li Mu felt that his body was shaking violently and his wrist was numb. The area between his thumb and index finger was instantly torn open, and the flesh and bones were exposed.
He could hardly grasp the Samsara Knife and almost lost his grip on it.
“Is this the power of the ‘Potential’?”
Li Mu was greatly shocked.
Borrowing potential.
It was the power that Dongmen Chuixue borrowed from heaven and earth and the universe.
This kind of power seemed to be beyond the range of natural qi and physical strength.
This was also the reason why the king-level masters were powerful.
“Um?”
Dongmen Chuixue’s eyes flashed with surprise.
He had found that that Li Mu’s real level of cultivation was pitifully low, and Li Mu’s physical body might be a little stronger, but it was useless. This strike carried 90% of the power in his “Wind and Snow Potential Realm”, which could split heaven and earth. Unexpectedly, Li Mu withstood this strike, and he failed to break Li Yidao’s broadsword and cause severe injury with one strike.
The two broadswords met, and the edges of the blades faced each other.
Li Mu felt that there was endless power coming from the snow knife towards him.
Dongmen Chuixue drove the power of the Wind and Snow Potential Realm to the snow knife and transferred it toward Li Mu slowly.
“You have unsheathed your broadsword, but you can’t defeat me. Your one-strike legend ends here, and your path ends here,” Dongmen Chuixue said lightly.
Li Mu growled and drove the power of his physical body with all his might.
His spine rumbled like a dragon, the muscles of his arms bulged out, and he boosted his physical strength to the extreme.
The Samsara Knife pressed against the snow knife and slowly pushed it back.
“It’s just half a strike. It’s not done yet.” Li Mu growled angrily like a mad dragon.
Dongmen Chuixue was surprised again.
But it was just a surprise.
“Your strong physical strength is insignificant and like a grain of dust in the face of the potential of heaven and earth.” He shook his head.
All the power of the Wind and Snow Potential Realm, the snow all over the sky, the ice lines on the ground, the starry snowflakes in the sky, and all the chill… all the energy of the Potential Realm instantly poured into the snow knife in his hand.
Once again, Li Mu felt the overwhelming power bursting out from the snow knife and coming at him.
The two knives met, and the snow knife slowly pressed toward Li Mu.
Li Mu roared angrily and boosted his physical strength once again.
However, the blood from the area between his thumb and index finger had stained the handle of his knife. The muscles in his palms and fingers continued to split apart under the great pressure … His physical strength had reached its limit. If he continued boosting his physical power forcefully, his physical body would be on the verge of collapse.
Li Mu sighed silently.
The potential of heaven and earth was indeed not be underestimated.
It looked like that finally he had to use the power of his white-bone right arm.
He activated the strange power hidden in his white-bone arm.
In an instant, the wounded area between his thumb and index finger, the torn muscles of his fingers and the back of his hand, and… all the flesh and blood disappeared.
The section from his fingers to the upper arm instantly turned into crystal clear jade-like bones.
At that moment, Dongmen Chuixue felt that his vision blurred.
Then, the face of this 20th Heavenly Legend on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions suddenly changed.
