Da Xuan Martial Saint

But with the suppression of the Effortless Formation, it made the circulation of Inner Breath somewhat delayed, unable to continuously execute the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal and other supreme techniques. A short pause for breath was necessary mid-way, which was the flaw!

So what if it is comparable to a Celestial Human?

Although Chen Mu's strength had indeed greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, with the Effortless Formation set up in advance, combined with their collective power of seven, even a true Celestial Human master would not be invincible!

Of course, such determination also came with a greater issue, which was that they absolutely could not allow Chen Mu to escape. With Chen Mu's fearsome physique, it was feared that breaking into the Blood Exchange Realm would hardly be difficult. Once he stepped into the Blood Exchange, there would indeed be no place for them in the world!

The situation had long been do or die!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Chen Mu's left hand continued to contain the Void Flying Needle, while his right hand rose into the air and fell in succession, four palms matching against Chu Changhua, Lie Yuan, Xiang Yuan, and the others in turn. The nearby void shattered bit by bit, and the sea surface whipped up hundred-zhang high waves.

The wounded Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and the Master of the Blood Hidden Pavilion, after forcibly suppressing their injuries, also took to the air one after another and continued to converge their attacks on Chen Mu. Even the Ghostly Nether Sect Master, who had suffered the most severe injuries and had shaken viscera, swallowed a pill with a deep dark color, forcibly circulated his Inner Breath, and entered an intangible state to kill towards Chen Mu's position.

This time.

The assaults of the seven no longer had order, as they intersected from front, back, left, right, surrounding him from all sides. The fierce battles of the eight made the void continuously splinter, with waves exploding one after another. The chaotic aftermath intertwined, and even a top Grandmaster involved in it would be reduced to dust and bones in an instant!

With a Marrow Cleansing Physique, Chen Mu fought against the seven, battling seven Blood Exchange masters, and even under the suppression of the Effortless Formation, he was still not falling behind. With just a flick of his fingers, he unleashed inscrutable powers, forcing all seven like the Pavilion Master of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion to respond with their full strength!

In just the blink of an eye, the intense battle caused blood to splatter violently!

This chaotic scene shocked those far away, like the Dragonwood Island Master and others, who were all shaken. For a moment, they even looked at each other in dismay because, before this, no one could have anticipated that Chen Mu's strength would reach such a level, matching a Celestial Human with a Marrow Cleansing Physique!

"How can this be..."

Some watched the figure of Chen Mu, their eyes filled with disbelief: "He's merely at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, he couldn't possibly have challenged the Blood Exchange Realm in Xunmu Cave Heaven. How could he be so powerful? This defies all reason."

Even the Dragonwood Island Master couldn't help but take a breath, focusing his gaze from afar, and with profound eyes said, "The power of the Martial Body could actually reach such a level, his Five Viscera must have been tempered to the extreme... no, even the Six Viscera, and even the Marrow Cleansing Realm itself must have been cultivated to the ultimate degree. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to have such a physique before the Blood Exchange, but how could this be possible?"

"In this world, how could there be someone who cultivates the first seven realms of Body Tempering Martial Arts to this extent?"

The Dragonwood Island Master muttered to himself.

Tingchao Cliff has a long heritage that is even more ancient than the history of the Da Xuan Dynasty Court. It understands many of the world's secrets more than the Da Xuan Dynasty Court, knowing that beyond the vast void, there are Cave Heavens that can compare with this world, and some of these worlds have legacies that are even older and more complete than the Body Tempering Martial Arts of this world.

But different worlds are compatible with different cultivation methods. Even systems more complete than Body Tempering Martial Arts are often not suitable when placed in the Da Xuan World, not as applicable as Body Tempering Martial Arts. But this does not prevent them from knowing that Body Tempering Martial Arts is far from reaching its limit and that there is much more room for improvement and perfection.

In addition.

The resources of this world are not abundant, to say the least.

Looking at the changes of heaven and earth, the Yuan Qi of the world is slowly increasing. Though this progress is extremely slow, after tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, the concentration of Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi will be much denser than it is now. By that time, heaven and earth will inevitably give birth to more and richer resources, and Body Tempering Martial Arts will necessarily advance further.

The Martial Body that Chen Mu has cultivated at the Marrow Cleansing Realm is already inconceivable, feared to have reached the utmost degree. Such a realm should not be achievable by the current Body Tempering Martial Arts, nor should it be supported by the resources of the current world.

Chen Mu... how exactly did he do it?

Could it truly be as the rumors say, that he is blessed by the Heavenly Mandate of this world, receiving the support of the will of this world, thus encountering many unimaginable fortunes and thus reaching such a realm?

The Dragonwood Island Master was not aware, but he did know one thing, the situation had changed!

Chen Mu, able to contend with the likes of Pavilion Masters of seven Blood Exchange Realms and even revealing a Martial Body's strength that bordered on the unthinkable, meant that the world's previous judgments about Chen Mu had to be completely overturned, and this represented an entirely different significance!

Looking at the battle situation in the distance, this moment probably left no one in doubt of Chen Mu's ability to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm!

Even.

Inevitably, thoughts began to stir in the heart of the Dragonwood Island Master.

Earlier, Tingchao Cliff was reluctant to intervene in the strife of the Da Xuan Dynasty Court because the situation was unclear; on one hand, it was uncertain whether Chen Mu could step into the Blood Exchange Realm in the future, and on the other, given the arrangements by the Pavilion Master and others, the likelihood of Chen Mu surviving was slim. Hence, their intervention in this dispute meant facing an obscure situation without clear benefits.

But now it was different!

If Chen Mu were to break out of this killing predicament, then his subsequent assault on the Blood Exchange and his eventual claim to supremacy was almost a certainty. Under these circumstances, the stance of Tingchao Cliff became critically important—if they extended a helping hand to Chen Mu now, aiding him with an arm's strength, that would be establishing a profound bond of goodwill.

At this very moment, not just for the Dragonwood Island Master, but also for the others from the Pure Sea Palace and Vast Ocean Pavilion, their gazes flickered with change, rapidly reevaluating their thoughts and intentions.

If it were an inevitable death trap for Chen Mu, even if they took action, they couldn't change the outcome, then their interference would naturally be meaningless. But now, the Pavilion Master and others couldn't subdue Chen Mu temporarily and were mired in a tough battle. The situation was drastically different; any person present could cause a shift in the battlefield dynamics.

Was it the Pavilion Master's side?

Or was it Chen Mu?

The former was almost out of everyone's consideration because, as Blood Exchange Supremes of the Outer Sea, they had no need for relations with the Da Xuan, nor did they need to seek any advantage from the Pavilion Master and the like.

Only Chen Mu, if he were to ascend to the extreme pinnacle in the future, becoming unparalleled in the world, then it was undoubtedly the proper path to form a good relationship with him in advance.

However.

Before the Dragonwood Island Master and others could come to a decision amidst their spinning thoughts, another unforeseen change occurred!

Almost simultaneously, every person's face subtly shifted, their heads lifting in unison to stare into the distance in a certain direction, all sensing an immense presence rising up to interface with heaven and earth, merging into one.

Even though this presence was still extremely distant, not knowing how far away it was, everyone felt as though they were being watched, as if in the unknown expanses of the sky above, a pair of eyes were gazing upon this place, watching everything over the Ruins Sea.

Unity of Heaven and Man!

This was the gaze of a Celestial Human master...no, not just a gaze, there was action taking place!

All felt a spark of realization in their hearts because if a Celestial Human master were merely watching, there wouldn't be such a commotion. Such a disturbance could only mean that a certain Celestial Human master was on their way here, even from an extremely remote place, attempting to interfere with the battlefield from afar!

But.

Before this Celestial Human presence could draw near.

Another vast and ancient momentum surged up, mingling with heaven and earth, immeasurable and majestic, and as soon as this momentum appeared, it blatantly collided with the previous one.

Hum!!

Almost everyone felt it, an invisible humming as if resonating through heaven and earth, like two different wills colliding across the void, causing ripples to undulate across the vast Vast Ocean, even shaking the clouds.
