Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1418: Ascend to the Heavenly Ranking


Xue Wulei frowned slightly and muttered, "Killer physique? What kind of physique is that?" However, upon reflection, he realized he had been tricked. How could such a physique possibly exist in this world?

"You're playing me?" Xue Wulei's eyes filled with murderous intent, unmasked! He had always been like this, seeing no need to hide his intent to kill from anyone he wanted dead.

"Wow, you actually figured it out, you're too smart!" exclaimed Chu Mo in amazement.

"Kid, you're dead meat!" Xue Wulei's voice was cold as ice. In his hand appeared a long sword with a peculiar design, curved like a serpent. The blade was entirely emerald green, emanating a chilly aura.

Xue Wulei pointed his sword at Chu Mo: "Witness the sword technique of the Xue Family!"

As he spoke, Xue Wulei's sword gently quivered, and green snowflakes began to fall from heaven and earth, stunningly beautiful to the point of taking one's breath away!

Not a hint of murderous intent could be felt!

Chu Mo chuckled, wielding the Cold Moon Blade and executed a set of sword techniques.

Plum Blossom Sword Technique!

His Cold Moon Blade also trembled lightly, and a sky filled with pink plum blossoms mingled with the green snowflakes, diffusing a strong intoxicating fragrance.

Even more enchanting!

If one looked from afar, they would see that area in the void covered by a blend of green and pink hues. Stunningly beautiful!

"You use a blade to perform the sword technique... you're blaspheming!" Xue Wulei roared in anger, thrusting his sword amid the fluttering snow of plum blossoms.

A streak of light that was much faster.

"You want to see a blade technique?" Chu Mo sneered, and cut out with an unremarkable blade.

That strike, seemingly simple, bore a shocking name.

It was called Slaughter Immortal!

The final strike of the eight Netherworld blades!

With Slaughter Immortal's release, heaven and earth mourn together!

Only after reaching enlightenment did Chu Mo grasp the essence of this strike, but he had never used it before stepping into the Supreme Realm. Without the power of the Supreme, one simply cannot wield this strike!

"That blade technique..." Disdain filled Xue Wulei's eyes at first, but then he sensed something was wrong. Having reached his realm, how could he lack insight? Initially, he failed to perceive the subtleties of the strike, but in a flash, he understood.

Yet, the strike was already at his face.

The person along with the blade disappeared momentarily in the void, then appeared right before him the next instant. The entire process took place in less than an instant!

At a critical moment, Xue Wulei employed his ultimate technique, placing the green serpent sword horizontally in front of him, barely blocking Chu Mo's strike.

Clang!

A thunderous boom echoed across millions of miles of sky.

The sound shattered the entire heavens, leaving space fragmented and broken.

Although their battleground was set high above, far from the Trial Field mainland, it still caused substantial damage below.

On the land of the Trial Field below, a vast and deep crater spanning tens of millions of miles appeared, bottomless, resembling a terrifying abyss. From high above, it looked like an eye filled with the breath of death.

Chu Mo's figure stood nailed to the firmament, unmoving.

But Xue Wulei's body, like a kite with a snapped string caught in a gust of wind, suddenly vanished from that spot, thrown towards the endless void of the cosmos.

An extremely distant star, fortuitously in the path of Xue Wulei's trajectory, was struck and shattered...

Splurt!

Xue Wulei spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

His eyes filled with boundless shock and horror, he barely stabilized his form in the void, staggering for a long while.

Then, he slowly raised his head, gazing at the distant Chu Mo: "What... what blade technique is this?"

"Killing Blade," Chu Mo stated indifferently: "Still wish to fight?"

"Fight!" Xue Wulei activated profound skills, quickly stabilizing his injuries, then drew a massive amount of essence energy from the endless void. In an instant, he was back to normal.

However, the hidden wounds within his body were not something that could be recovered in a short time.

But if he were to leave now, Xue Wulei believed he would definitely leave with a shadow in his heart. Were he losing to the regulars of the Heavenly Ranking, he would not feel this way. Key to his concern was the strangeness of this youth before him; he was certain he had never seen this person before.

It's true, the Trial Field has seen many strong figures with mysterious identities like this one, but ultimately, most of them fall. Faced with the powerhouses of the Heavenly Ranking, not many can resist.

Thus the existence of someone like the one before him, completely outside Xue Wulei's expectations, should not exist in the Trial Field!

Continue the fight!

This time, he chose to employ his divine abilities.

He had an ancestor of supreme standing who cultivated the top divine abilities. Staring coldly at Chu Mo, Xue Wulei declared, "You are the third person so far who has forced me to use divine abilities!"

"Who were the first two?" Chu Mo asked with a curious expression.

"Go to hell!" Xue Wulei thundered furiously. With hands forming seals, in an instant eight white colossal dragons appeared in the void. The dragons, with their scales and claws well-defined and their heads fearsome in appearance, surged with a sense of vigorous beauty, as they pounced directly towards Chu Mo.

Each dragon wielded immense powers of natural law.

All these dragons were coalesced from natural laws themselves! Such is the true divine ability, an attack of the Dao!

This divine ability was too powerful; a regular Supreme, upon receiving this attack, would at least be heavily injured.

Chu Mo did not hesitate; he stood tall and proud in the void, starting to operate the Nine Word Mantra.

Lin character mnemonic – Unmoving as a mountain!

Despite the overwhelming dragon's prestige of the dragons formed by laws, Chu Mo stood unshakeable.

Bing character mnemonic – Vast energy!

He swept up all the essence energy of this void, strengthening himself, even tearing off pieces from two of the snow-white dragons... to the utter shock of Xue Wulei.

Dou character mnemonic – Cosmic resonance!

The entire void, originally dominated by the field created by the appearance of the eight snow-white dragons, suddenly lost all pressure on Chu Mo. For his body had resonated with the cosmos and the void, as if merging into one.

Zhe character mnemonic – Recovery ability.

The hidden injuries on Chu Mo's body, under the operation of the zhe character mnemonic, healed almost instantly! Almost all the damage to his cultivation disappeared in that moment.

This is the power of the Nine Word Mantra. Even Chu Mo in the Supreme Realm could hardly bring out its full potential. But it was already enough.

Jie character mnemonic – Divine sense induction!

The moment the jie character mnemonic was deployed by Chu Mo, countless pieces of information from the vast universe instantly flooded into his spiritual sea. Then, after meticulous calculations, they provided feedback to Chu Mo. All this happened at an unimaginable speed.

Even giving Chu Mo a godlike feeling!

Operating the jie character mnemonic was as if holding the entire universe in his grasp!

At this moment, he was the god of this world!

Zhen character mnemonic – Concealment of breath!

Even though Chu Mo was just standing there at this time, the feeling he gave to Xue Wulei was as if he had completely vanished from the void, as if he had disappeared from this world! His divine sense lock on Chu Mo abruptly vanished, and he could not even sense Chu Mo's existence!

Lie character mnemonic – Time and space!

This particular void, which had been shattered by their fight, became even more bizarre under the operation of the lie character mnemonic.

Time continuously solidified, while space was fragmented into countless pieces. In each fragment, there seemed to be a world. And in each world, there seemed to be a Chu Mo.

With the Nine Word Mantra, Chu Mo brought forth seven characters in an instant!

The power of it, manifested by a real Supreme, was simply too astonishing.

The consequences, far too terrifying!

Xue Wulei, who had just displayed a divine ability, instantly collapsed, his body disintegrating into countless pieces.

Under the Nine Word Mantra, he had almost no room to resist.

But at the moment his flesh exploded, a streak of bright red blood, like the most transparent and glittering ruby in the world, floated through the void, then… from within this blood emerged a miraculous power that wrapped around all of Xue Wulei's fragments. In an instant, they vanished!

Supreme divine ability!

A look of shock appeared in Chu Mo's eyes.

He suddenly thought that behind Xue Wulei, there must be a terrifying existence that managed to save his life at the critical moment, taking Xue Wulei's fragmented body and fleeing through the void.

Even the lie character mnemonic from the Nine Word Mantra was powerless to stop it.

Chu Mo felt a bit regretful, yet also relieved. The Trial Field indeed is where the top Heavenly Geniuses from all domains gather; the mysterious and powerful forces behind these geniuses are all too common.

But what Chu Mo didn't know was that at the moment Xue Wulei's body crumbled and was whisked away by that blood, disappearing from the Trial Field, there was a sudden change in the ranking on the Heavenly Ranking above the reincarnation river.

People gathered in front of the Earth Ranking and the Human Ranking steles, watching, when the Heavenly Ranking suddenly flashed, drawing much attention. Then, everyone witnessed a miracle.

The name that originally occupied the ninth spot on the Heavenly Ranking was suddenly replaced by an unfamiliar name.

Lin Hei!

The crowd immediately erupted into an uproar.

"Who is Lin Hei?"

"Who is this? He defeated Xue Wulei?"

"Good heavens, something big has happened! The ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, Xue Wulei, was defeated by Lin Hei!"

"I know who Lin Hei is. I've heard of him. A few months ago, he fought a battle with Liu Yunfeng... Eh? That's not right, could it be a coincidence? That Lin Hei who fought with Liu Yunfeng, he was just a Quasi-Supreme!"

"A Quasi-Supreme defeating Xue Wulei? Stop joking."

"Really? That Lin Hei? That Quasi-Supreme who's been dying in strange ways?"

"This news... is astonishing!"

While Chu Mo was oblivious, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Trial Field.

Liu Yunfeng, upon hearing this news, was somewhat dazed and could hardly believe it was true. After confirming repeatedly, he dared to believe that there really was a person named Lin Hei, who had shown up at the ninth rank on the Heavenly Ranking.

His mouth twitching, he felt incredulous.
