In the vast world, martial arts techniques are countless, and Mu Yun doesn't master them all.
This Eight Desolations Chant uses true essence to generate a domineering impact, capable of injuring martial artists; it is truly incomparably powerful.
"It's a good martial arts technique, I want it!"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Mu Yun chuckled and said mockingly.
"You want it? I can burn a copy and send it to you in the netherworld!"
Seeing that Mu Yun still had the mood to joke, Dongfang Yu was furious and couldn't contain himself.
"Eight Desolations Chant, Shatter Seal!"
Dongfang Yu spread his ten fingers, strands of true essence wrapped around his fingertips. Those strands of true essence were like ripples on water after a pebble was struck, intermittent, but the power they spread gave people a terrifying sense of awe.
"Eight Desolations Chant is a high-level Yellow Rank martial arts technique, Mu Yun, I used this technique to kill you, you can die without regret!"
Dongfang Yu's face was indifferent, and the true essence dancing at his fingertips became even stronger. A series of
crackling
sounds, like the flow of electricity, rang out, sending chills down one's spine.
Dongfang Yu suddenly shot forward, heading straight for Mu Yun.
"Good martial skill, I accept!"
Mu Yun shouted, slamming his hands on the ground, his body soaring into the air.
"Falling Cloud Sword Palm—Falling Cloud Style!"
The Falling Cloud Sword Palm was unleashed, Mu Yun's figure leaping into the air, his speed no less than Dongfang Yu's.
"Try taking my palm strike!"
Mu Yun roared as he flew towards Dongfang Yu.
Seeing that Mu Yun didn't dodge or evade, but instead flew directly towards him, Dongfang Yu sneered, his true energy completely dormant, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Mu Yun.
"Falling Heaven Style!"
However, just as Dongfang Yu went all out, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Mu Yun, Mu Yun's figure directly swept over his head.
Damn it!
Dongfang Yu's expression suddenly changed.
This damned Mu Yun's target wasn't him at all, but Jin Dong behind him.
"Trying to kill me? Dream on!"
Jin Dong was slightly angry that Mu Yun had directly targeted him.
He was, after all, a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist; Mu Yun's actions were a gross underestimation of him!
This underestimation made his face flush red.
"Mountain Blocking Fist!"
Taking a step forward, Jin Dong's energy surged, instantly increasing his height.
"Last time I lost to you because of my carelessness. This time, I will definitely kill you!"
With both fists out, Jin Dong showed no fear. His injuries had already fully healed, and he was even stronger than before.
Although he knew that killing Mu Yun was unlikely, Mu Yun's desire to kill him was also wishful thinking.
"Falling Heaven Palm!"
With his hands together, a palm print erupted, and Mu Yun's figure instantly appeared
before .
"Kill!"
A roar erupted from Mu Yun's mouth, and an inexplicable power spread outwards from Mu Yun.
Crack...
A cracking sound rang out as the four fists collided.
Immediately following, accompanied by a cracking sound, two tearing sounds rang out.
"Ah..."
A scream echoed throughout the forest, and a surge of blood shot into the sky.
The instant the four fists collided, Jin Dong's arms were instantly broken.
However, Mu Yun's strength was incomparably domineering; after breaking Jin Dong's arms, he actually managed to detach them from his body.
Blood spurted from his shoulders, and Jin Dong's face instantly turned deathly pale.
True Essence!
At the same time, Miao Xianyu and Dongfang Yu stood to the side, mouths agape, unable to utter a single word.
No one understood better than Dongfang Yu why Mu Yun had been able to severely injure Jin Dong with a single move.
True Essence.
That was the explosive power of True Essence.
Only True Essence could be so powerful.
However, he simply couldn't believe that Mu Yun, who was only at the fifth level of the Body Condensation Realm, actually possessed True Essence.
"You're not at the fifth level of the Body Condensation Realm, you're at the seventh level!" Seeing the True Essence floating on Mu Yun's palms, Dongfang Yu was incredulous.
"No, you're clearly at the fifth level, and you haven't even cultivated your meridians yet, so you can't be at the seventh level!"
"Nothing is impossible!"
Mu Yun sneered. "The Southern Cloud Empire is just a corner of the Heavenly Fortune Continent, and the Heavenly Fortune Continent is merely one of the three thousand minor worlds. The world is vast; what do you know?"
Hearing Mu Yun's inexplicable words, Dongfang Yu's face gradually darkened.
"Even if you possess true essence, it's just relying on the magic treasures within your body. What are you anyway? Killing you is still as easy as turning my hand!"
True essence surged again in his hands, and a layer of true essence surrounded Dongfang Yu's body, forming a defense.
This is the power of a seventh-level True Essence Realm martial artist.
By gathering true essence on the surface of the body to form a solid defense, neither physical strength nor qi can break through it.
Even true essence cannot penetrate it.
The defense formed by the True Essence Robe is no less than that of a mid-grade mortal weapon.
True essence can not only form sharp, knife-like attacks but also form a shield-like defense.
Now that Mu Yun could launch a true essence attack, Dongfang Yu had no choice but to be on guard.
"Are you scared?"
Seeing Dongfang Yu's defensive posture, Mu Yun
couldn't help but sarcastically ask.
Scared?
Dongfang Yu wasn't afraid, but Mu Yun was truly cunning and unpredictable.
He had to be cautious.
"Eight Desolations Chant, Heaven-Spanning Seal!"
With his hands outstretched, true essence burst forth from Dongfang Yu's palms.
The true essence continuously condensed, compressed and shrinking between Dongfang Yu's hands...
Gradually, the true essence gathered, forming a four-sided pyramid. Every line of the pyramid was straight and firm, as tough as steel. The pyramid was only the size of a palm, yet the terrifying true essence within it, even in the slightest ripples, exuded killing intent.
"The Heaven-Suppressing Seal... Covering the Sky and Absorbing All! The Eight Desolations Chant, truly a remarkable martial skill!"
Seeing Dongfang Yu's technique, Mu Yun didn't interrupt, but instead stood aside, observing closely.
Such a seal was indeed powerful enough, but Dongfang Yu's execution seemed somewhat obscure, and his true essence wasn't sufficiently concentrated.
"A good martial skill, but it's a waste to have it in your hands!"
"Hmph, enough to kill you!" Dongfang Yu's contempt deepened. "Using the Shattered Seal, you already couldn't withstand it, let alone the Heaven-Suppressing Seal!"
Hearing Dongfang Yu's words, Mu Yun didn't explain.
Initially, he did intend to use his physical strength and internal energy to resist Dongfang Yu, testing the limits of his power.
Moreover, the true essence within him wasn't absorbed by himself, but rather released from the Immortal Execution Diagram and remaining in his meridians.
The reason for hiding it was precisely to kill Jin Dong at a crucial moment.
After all, Jin Dong's existence was always a threat.
Only by dealing with Jin Dong could he ensure absolute safety when facing Dongfang Yu.
Witnessing the power of the Eight Desolations Chant, Mu Yun yearned for this martial skill even more.
He had rarely seen a high-level Yellow Rank martial skill unleash such destructive power.
"All laws are of one mind, the mind moves with me!"
Without hesitation, Mu Yun
unleashed his full power. Having revealed too much to Miao Xianyu today, he might as well reveal it all.
With a low shout, Mu Yun's body twisted strangely, his true essence overflowing, a powerful aura lingering.
Around that true essence, tiny waves rippled, almost imperceptible.
Gradually, the true essence gathered around Mu Yun was drawn into his palm.
And in Mu Yun's hand, it slowly condensed into the shape of a sharp sword.
True essence materialization!
How was this possible?
True essence materialization, something only an eighth-level Core Formation Realm expert could achieve, Mu Yun had actually performed at the fifth level!
If Mu Yun possessed true essence within him, it was merely
shocking.
But this was utterly astonishing!
"Damn it!"
Dongfang Yu's face turned grim.
He had been stuck at the seventh level of the Physical Body Condensation Realm for half a year, only lacking the ability to open his dantian and condense his true essence.
However, Mu Yun had actually achieved this at the fifth level of the Physical Body Condensation Realm.
How did this guy manage to do it?!
"You're taking shortcuts. Although you can do this, you're still only at the Qi Condensation Realm!"
With a step forward, Dongfang Yu unleashed the four-sided pyramid-shaped true essence from his palms.
Boom...
In an instant, a loud explosion resounded throughout the entire forest, leaves fell from the trees, and the ground trembled slightly.
"So powerful!"
Even from dozens of meters away, Miao Xianyu could still feel the tremor of the earth and her eyes widened.
Was this a battle that could be created between a fifth-level and a seventh-level Physical Body Condensation Realm warrior?
Even a ninth-level Physical Body Condensation Realm cultivator and a tenth-level Physical Body Condensation Realm cultivator might not be able to cause such a commotion.
The Mitian Seal and the True Essence Sword collided, and the powerful impact exploded instantly, separating the two figures in a single touch.
Deep, labored breathing filled the air between the two. Dongfang Yu's face flushed, and she swallowed a sweet taste, swallowing a hint of blood.
Meanwhile, Mu Yun's tiger's mouth split open again, blood flowing from it.
"Good!"
Mu Yun suddenly shouted, watching the blood flow from his palm.
Good?
Miao Xianyu felt a pang of anxiety.
Mu Yun was clearly at a disadvantage; why was he still shouting "good?"
Miao Xianyu couldn't understand Mu Yun's thoughts.
Condensing True Essence was indeed something only a martial artist at the eighth level of the Body Gathering Realm could do.
Mu Yun was able to do it because of his extensive knowledge from his previous life and his physique, enhanced by the complete transformation of his body by the Heaven-Slaying Diagram.
It could be said that a True Essence Sword condensed from True Essence was far more powerful than an ordinary mid-grade mortal weapon.
Yet, even so, it was shattered by Dongfang Yu's Heaven-Spanning Seal.
On one hand, it was because his current realm was inferior to Dongfang Yu's.
On the other hand, it could only be said that the power of the Eight Desolations Chant far exceeded his expectations.
Unfortunately, such a powerful martial skill was only used halfway by Dongfang Yu, failing to unleash its full potential.
A pearl cast before swine!
"Dongfang Yu, such a powerful martial skill is a waste in your hands. How dare you call yourself a genius? It's laughable!"
"Hmph, still so stubborn! Once I kill you and seize your treasure, Diao Yadong of the Diao family and Wang Qingfeng of the Wang family will no longer be my match!"
Dongfang Yu's face turned cold, his hands secretly preparing.
