Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Strange Place

What sort of place is the ancient battlefield? deliberated Mu Yu, letting the ultimate immortal gems procedurally levitate.

Mu Yu injected the gems with spiritual energy, triggering a vibrating and orbiting effect from them. The nine shone nine golden beams into one spot, forming a small teleportation formation. Mu Yu arrived at an aeonic ruin atop a mountain on the other side.

“Did this gargantuan broadsword cleave the mountain in half down the middle? This thing must be over three hundred metres long.”

“Eh, you could cleave the mountain in half,” added Xiaoshuai.

“Yeah, but the aggression still in the blade is gushing out of it in giant waves despite how many years presumably have passed.”

“You now, I’m pretty sure I’ve been here before.”

“With Shifu?”

“I don’t recall clearly. This isn’t the interior of the monument but a place that physically exists in reality.”

Mu Yu fixed his eyes on a pine tree by the precipice, galvanising its growth. “Oh yeah, I can finally control trees. The teleportation formation is also still glowing.”

“That’s what brought us here.”

“I don’t like the vibes of this place, charcoal sky with no golden light and crows cawing ominously. Just what is the ancient battleground?”

“Beats me. We’ll find out once we see it.”

Mu Yu flew to the other side, where a fallen palace accompanied the only red-skulls pillar. More strewn skulls from varying on the ground also kept the pillar company. After crossing half of the staircase and stepping over a skull, the pillar ejected skulls at Mu Yu. The red rays from their eyes merged together to seal the sky off with Ascension Realm qi.

“These aren’t souls.”

When Mu Yu flew out of the pillar’s range, the pillar mutated into a human titan hundreds of metres tall and armed itself with the gargantuan broadsword. The pillar’s power went from Ascension Realm to Apotheosis Realm, shaking the mountain.

Mu Yu summoned his own energy to Shadow Splitter Sword to break the broadsword’s sealing pressure and intercepted the downward swing. Mu Yu’s power hacked the broadsword in two and shattered the pillar in one motion. The titan vanished after the several earthquakes.

Mu Yu sheathed his sword. “What the hell is this place? I can’t believe we didn’t destroy even a rock with our collision.” Mu Yu checked the rock. “There really is some energy protecting this mountain. Are there realms beyond Apotheosis Realm, Xiaoshuai?”

“Does Old White Bead’s realm count?”

Mu Yu got up and confirmed the teleportation formation behind was still active. “We need to figure out how to pass the monuments test. I wonder if it’ll be easy to survive the ancient battleground.”

“Does it work if we just relax and wait for everyone else to be killed?”

“I don’t know, but this place should be safe for now. It’s not hard for me to survive if this is the level of threats we’re facing.” Mu Yu went to sit next to the teleportation formation and contemplate about his domain.

“Thinking about your domain ability?”

“Yeah, I’m surprised this is the domain ability I picked up.”

“It’s pretty fun if you ask me. I can’t wait to see its full abilities.”

“Relax. You’ll eventually see it. You pestered me until I told you my ability once I was done.”

“Have you named it yet?”

Worried Xiaoshuai would give it another narcissistic name, Mu Yu nodded. “It’s called… called… Flying… Fly-”

“Clearly you haven’t named it. I’ll name it. Let’s c-”

“If you say Invincible-Fearless Xiaoshuai Ultimate Domain, I’ll stick Shadow Splitter Sword in you.”

“Tch! Then, how about Yu Shuai Level Invincible World Domain?”

“Why is your name included in my domain?”

“Isn’t it complimenting you?”

“Well, yeah, but no.”

“Yu Shuai Soars Invincible World Domain or Yu Shuai Peerless Invincible World Domain? Yu Shuai Dynamic Light is pretty cool.”

All those names sound weak and silly. If anything, they’re comical, Mu Yu thought. “Ahem, my domain is called Universe Ruler.”
