Chapter 351: The World-Shocking Sword

The Village Chief blinked, testing, "Could his surname also be Qin?"

Qingyou Mountain Dweller sneered, "Yes, his surname is indeed Qin. Is Qin Chongming also a Tyrant Body? Brother Dao, you puzzle me a little. We in Little Jade Capital didn't even know about Tyrant Bodies, so how are you so sure they exist?"

The Village Chief's heart surged, but he didn't explain. He shook his head and said, "I'm just wondering how a deity from Worryfree Village came to Little Jade Capital."

"This senior was one of the founders of Little Jade Capital," Qingyou Mountain Dweller replied. "From the records of Little Jade Capital, I learned that he made a pact with the Earth God. Later, he decided to break this agreement. There were certain things he had to do, so his primordial spirit was taken by the Earth God, leaving only his physical body. Before his death, he transformed his divine treasures into seven divine temples. He put a lot of thought into this, wanting these seven temples to cultivate future generations even after his death."

The Village Chief looked at the Three Primordial Temple, confused. "Seven divine temples? Does that mean besides the Three Primordial Temple and the Five Qi Temple, there are also the Seven Star Temple, the Celestial-Human Temple, the Life-Death Temple, and the Divine Bridge Temple? Why aren't the others visible?"

"The seven great divine treasures in the human body are one, so the seven divine temples are naturally also one. The other great halls are all within this Three Primordial Temple," Qingyou Mountain Dweller explained. "You just said that since I've already opened the Three Primordial Temple and the Five Qi Temple, why not open the other temples in one go? It's because we in Little Jade Capital don't have the ability to open them. This deity from Worryfree Village has many secrets, and whether the temples can be opened isn't up to me. Our Three Primordial Elder and Five Qi Elder in Little Jade Capital can only open the Three Primordial Temple and the Five Qi Temple; the other temples cannot be opened. We are short-staffed in Little Jade Capital, and while the Old Daoist Master and Old Tathagata are sufficient, they have just arrived and need more time to familiarize themselves with the temples."

Little Jade Capital had only a dozen or so old immortals, and opening the temples required six of the strongest experts. When it came to the Seven Star Divine Temple, it would require seven beings of their level, making Little Jade Capital even more understaffed.

"I said you were stingy, but not so stingy towards people from Worryfree Village. So that's how it is," the Village Chief chuckled.

Qingyou Mountain Dweller snorted, "Everything about this deity has been refined to a divine level: his divine eyes, divine hands, divine legs, and divine physical body. Not only that, but his primordial spirit has also reached an extremely pure state, and his magic power is also at a divine level. His wisdom is also at a divine level! Brother Dao, if the Human Emperor chooses to make his breakthrough through the Three Primordial, I fear he won't gain any benefit!"

The Village Chief pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "His magic power is also at a divine level? Then Mu'er has truly met his match."

Qingyou Mountain Dweller was puzzled.

The Village Chief said calmly, "The old-timers in our Disabled Elderly Village each have their strengths. Some aspects of our nine individuals have reached the divine realm, but none of us can reach the divine realm in terms of magic power. However, Mu'er's primordial qi has reached that level of profoundness. Although his realm hasn't caught up, his profound magic power is beyond compare. If there's anyone in this world who can possess god-like magic power, it certainly won't be the Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, but only Mu'er!"

Qingyou Mountain Dweller also knew how formidable Qin Mu's cultivation was and said, "You mentioned earlier that his sword art still had many flaws, and if he met someone with superior insight, he wouldn't even know how he died. I think he has already met such a person."

The Village Chief's heart jolted. "Is this deity also a divine swordsman?"

Qingyou Mountain Dweller nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Brother Dao, can you now tell me what a Tyrant Body is?"

The Village Chief smiled faintly, saying leisurely, "A Tyrant Body is unique, surpassing the four great spirit bodies, and is the rarest physique in the world. As long as one Tyrant Body appears in the world, there cannot be a second one. However, false Tyrant Bodies will appear to contend for the Tyrant Body's fortune…"

Inside the Three Primordial Temple.

Qin Mu strode directly towards the young deity, his steps heavy but extremely fast. With each footfall, dirt flew, and the ground undulated like waves.

As the dirt and broken stones floated up, they were instantly melted. Some transformed into ceramic swords in the air, others into stone swords. Some stones containing metal were also melted and refined, turning into sharp flying swords!

Integrating artifact refining into combat was one of Qin Mu's unique skills. Mute had not taught him this, but his ability to adapt and apply knowledge had always been Qin Mu's strength.

Since he couldn't use his own spirit weapons here, he would refine them on the spot!

By the time the two were a hundred yards apart, Qin Mu was surrounded by more than a hundred flying swords. Simultaneously, he unleashed his sword art.

His first move was Sword Treading Rivers and Mountains!

A surge of heroic spirit filled Qin Mu's chest. "Can a god be struck down? Yes, they can!"

His sword light surged. A hundred flying swords attacked the young deity, their light flashing. But a hundred flying swords were too few, so his internal sword light burst forth, compensating for the lack of physical swords.

He rushed forward swiftly, and Sword Treading Rivers and Mountains also unfurled before him, mountains and rivers advancing like a scroll. In this single sword strike, he incorporated all his understanding: the Village Chief's teachings, the Imperial Preceptor's enlightenment, Qin Hanzhen's guidance. He integrated everything he had learned into his sword!

The power of his sword light surged. This was his most powerful move. Even the second move of the Sword Diagram, "One Sword to Open the Emperor's Bloody Ocean," was less powerful than Sword Treading Rivers and Mountains, because he had put all his efforts into refining and improving Sword Treading Rivers and Mountains.

Compared to the Sword Treading Rivers and Mountains taught by the Village Chief, Qin Mu's version had almost doubled in power!

On the opposite side, sword light also erupted from the young deity's hands and fingers. Countless sword lights flew towards Qin Mu, who paused slightly, immediately discerning the mystery.

"Worryfree Village's sword art! He's from Worryfree Village!"

He had no time to think further as their sword arts finally clashed. Countless sword lights engulfed both of them simultaneously. The power contained within the majestic mountains and rivers was fully unleashed, and the power of Worryfree Village's sword art also surged!

The Three Primordial Elder stood atop the sun, moon, and mountains, looking down. He saw the mountains and rivers collapse in an instant, and then an infinite burst of energy exploded, expanding outwards like two bright, spherical masses.

"Remarkable," the Heavenly Primordial True Man, within the great sun, exclaimed.

As the power of these two moves fully dissipated, Qin Mu and the young deity flew backward, crashing to the ground. They continued to tumble uncontrollably, like broken ragdolls rolling down a hillside, limbs flailing helplessly as they rolled.

*Splat—*

Qin Mu landed against the cliff face, his body erupting with sword wounds, splattering blood onto the rock in patterns resembling plum blossoms.

"My sword art…"

Qin Mu coughed up blood, slowly sliding down the cliff face. He plopped onto the ground, unable to hide the shock on his face. "I lost…"

He had unleashed his perfected sword art for the first time, only to suffer a thorough defeat. His sword art had been broken by his opponent.

On the opposite side, the young deity crashed into a mountaintop with a *thud*, causing large rocks to dislodge and tumble down the cliff. He had no sword wounds, but the immense power of Qin Mu's move was too great, exceeding what he could withstand.

In terms of sword art alone, his was indeed superior to Qin Mu's. Although Qin Mu's Sword Treading Rivers and Mountains controlled hundreds of flying swords and countless beams of sword light, not a single one struck him.

However, the sheer power of Qin Mu's move heavily injured him. When the sword art's power erupted, a terrifying force crushed him, and even though it didn't directly hit him, his ribs fractured with audible snaps.

Yet, the young deity seemed to feel no pain. He shook his arms, freed himself from the rocks, slid dozens of feet forward, and landed steadily.

Beneath his armpit, a fractured rib had pierced through his skin, the bone shard exposed. Yet he seemed completely unaware, reaching up to pull out the broken bone and casually tossing it to the ground.

At the foot of the cliff, Qin Mu shakily stood up, letting out a roar. He circulated the Creation Human Emperor's Art, sealing his wounds.

He chose not to use dragon saliva to heal his wounds; the opponent's sword intent lingered within them. Without expelling the sword intent, dragon saliva could not heal his injuries.

Moreover, the opponent also didn't heal himself. If that was the case, then let it be a fair fight!

"Tyrant Body, peerless in the world! If I cannot defeat you, then it means I haven't worked hard enough!"

Qin Mu activated the Tyrant Body Three Elixirs Art, and his form suddenly transformed into a divine state: a bull-headed human body with two dragons beneath his feet, and a bull's eye growing between his brows, rolling around.

Flames blazed around him, and the two dragons beneath his feet charged towards the young deity.

Using the Sword Treading Rivers and Mountains move consumed a tremendous amount of his energy. If he continued to use such moves, he wouldn't be able to sustain it for long, so he had to switch tactics.

The young deity's body also changed, transforming into the White Grand Star Lord form with a tiger head and human body, also treading on two dragons. However, his dragons were formed from metal qi, while Qin Mu's were formed from fire qi.

The two pairs of dragons beneath their feet raced, then suddenly veered, almost paralleling each other as they charged towards a nearby mountain peak. The great dragons pressed against the cliff face, their claws gripping the rocks, their steps swift as they climbed the mountain. The two individuals on their backs, both in their divine forms, unleashed their most powerful divine abilities, attacking each other!

That great mountain was incredibly high, the very one the Earth Primordial True Man had established.

Even though this mountain was a majestic thousand zhang tall, Qin Mu and the young deity were about to reach the summit, their cultivation arts constantly changing. They unleashed the five great divine forms of the Five Luminaries realm: sometimes the Jupiter Star Lord form with a human head and bird body, sometimes the Saturn Star Lord form with a human head and snake body, and then suddenly transforming into the Mercury Star Lord form with a human head and red hair, battling fiercely.

The Earth Primordial True Man raised his hands, and the great mountain immediately began to grow, its peaks expanding, becoming larger and higher.

Qin Mu and the young deity continued to ascend, sending rocks flying as they fought.

"His magic power is no weaker than mine! He is definitely a Tyrant Body!"

Qin Mu's heart was filled with indescribable shock. He had unknowingly fallen into a disadvantage. While fending off the opponent's attacks, he melted rocks to refine stone swords, iron swords, and bronze swords, hoping to gain a weapon advantage.

However, being distracted, he was suppressed by the opponent. Although the young deity was below him, he forced Qin Mu to retreat upward. The flying swords Qin Mu refined were constantly deflected, lying broken and scattered on the cliff face.

Their figures were almost parallel to the ground, continuously ascending, with no sign of their momentum slowing.

"This mountain can't get any higher; it will collapse if it does."

The Earth Primordial True Man frowned, about to leave the mountaintop to give them space to fight to their hearts' content. Suddenly, Qin Mu channeled all his magic power and clashed head-on with the young deity.

"The Human Emperor is still too young. He lost a lot of magic power refining flying swords, and now he's clashing head-on with a deity. I'm afraid he won't win."

Just as the Earth Primordial True Man spoke, both were thrown from the cliff face. Qin Mu was sent bouncing high, while the young deity was sent falling downwards.

Qin Mu forced himself to stop, and the sword wounds all over his body instantly tore open, gushing blood.

"The victory is decided!"

He roared, charging downwards. As he descended, the stone, iron, and bronze swords stuck in the cliff face flew up, attacking the young deity!

This side of the cliff was filled with the various swords he had refined. Now, countless stone, iron, and bronze swords, under Qin Mu's control, furiously attacked the young deity!

The young deity had no time to dodge. His vital qi erupted, and he unleashed his sword art. A dense clash of sword light, like a torrential rain hitting pear blossoms, rang out. His sword art was indeed profound, but he had lost his advantageous position, and the force coming from above pressed him down, making him unable to stabilize himself as he plummeted down the mountain!

Meanwhile, more stone, iron, and bronze swords flew from the cliff, forming a torrent of swords. Qin Mu controlled them with qi, each sword having a different speed and sword move, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating!

He was still using Sword Treading Rivers and Mountains, his most powerful move. The young deity's sword light occasionally broke through the sword rain, striking him and adding more sword wounds to his body.

Qin Mu seemed to feel no pain at all, his sword art forcing the young deity to crash into the ground at an even faster speed!

The ground drew nearer.

"You lost!"

Qin Mu revealed a hint of a smile as countless stone, iron, and bronze swords enveloped the young deity, slamming him hard into the ground!

*Boom!*

The ground shook violently. A surging airflow picked up rocks and scattered them in all directions. A huge crater appeared in the ground, with broken swords sticking haphazardly around its edge.

Qin Mu landed right after him, creating a smaller crater.

From this smaller crater came his faint voice, barely a whisper: "You are… a false Tyrant Body, hehe, hehe…"

At this moment, there was movement from the large crater. Qin Mu's hair stood on end. "Still alive?"
