Da Xuan Martial Saint

Buzz!!!

At the summit of Kunlun, two streaks of blade light clashed across the void, and after a brief stalemate, they suddenly caused the heavens and void to rupture, shattering a pitch-black rift spanning over ten yards, crossing the heavenly universe!

Such a massive void rift almost made all the Blood Exchange experts change their expressions. If they were nearby, let alone facing the two streaks of blade light directly, the mere shockwaves from the collision would be enough to claim their lives!

Amidst the nihility.

There was Chaotic Origin Wu Liang, boundless Qiankun. On one side was a blade intent that pierced the skies and shook all things in Qiankun, turning everything it touched into silent annihilation Chaotic Origin. On the other side was the grand and righteous Qiankun Eight Phases, thoroughly blended and united as one.

These two streaks of blade light collided across the void. Chen Mu meticulously felt Gongyang Yu's Chaotic Origin Blade Intent. He practiced the Qiankun Path, encompassing all Martial Arts under heaven, yet his understanding of the Chaotic Origin Path was not as profound. At this moment, feeling Gongyang Yu's supreme strike, countless mysterious insights of the Chaotic Origin surged in his mind.

For Chen Mu, having refined the Qiankun Path to the utmost, he could already break through the confines of heavens and earth, walking the path of Communing with the Divine, without needing further comprehension of Chaotic Origin. However, being able to sense the Chaotic Origin Path and verify it against Qiankun, he suddenly gained many profound truths about the opening of heaven and earth, vaguely touching upon the mysteries of the Way of the Void.

But these were merely momentary flashes of spiritual light.

Thud!!!

The stalemate between the two streaks of blade light did not last long. As the void rift in the vault of the heavens gradually expanded from over ten yards to nearly twenty yards wide, finally collapsing into a void rift, with a resounding explosion, the two blade intents simultaneously extinguished.

At the central peak of Kunlun Mountain, many Marrow-Cleansing Grandmasters who were stopped in their tracks could clearly feel the clash of those two majestic blade intents. They all knew that these two blade intents came from none other than Martial Saint Chen Mu and Heavenly Blade Gongyang Yu, arguably the pinnacle clash of the blade path throughout the ages, unparalleled in history.

"Who won?"

They looked up at the peak of Kunlun Mountain, feeling the retreat of those two blade intents, and the thought surfaced in their minds.

Even though they were all standing at the central peak, unable to see the scene atop the mountain, almost the majority of the Marrow-Cleansing Grandmasters had already anticipated the victor in their minds.

And the reality matched their expectations.

At the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

Gongyang Yu held the Heavenly Blade, his face suddenly turning pale, staggering back over ten yards in the void, finally halting his steps, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his internal energy in chaos.

On the other side.

Chen Mu remained unfazed, slowly sheathing his blade, completely ignoring the void rift that had nearly shattered before him.

The entire peak of Kunlun was silent. Whether it was the many Celestial Humans or those in the Blood Exchange Realm, all were silently immersed in the clash of those two blades just moments ago.

"Cough..."

Gongyang Yu's complexion returned to normal, lowering the Heavenly Blade in his hand, he lamented to Chen Mu, "The Qiankun Path encompasses all, reaching the pinnacle, unparalleled in the world, I am no match..."

As the words fell, he couldn't help but cough twice more. It was evident that the impact from the earlier clash slightly injured his internal organs, making it difficult to quickly heal in a short time.

Gongyang Yu knew very well that Chen Mu had held back, for their strike was a clash across the void, without much use of physical strength. Had Chen Mu attacked with full force, he would have been even less of a match.

In the void.

The ruptured void rift quickly healed, and the void fissure disappeared without a trace.

Chen Mu's gaze penetrated the vanishing void rift, landing on Gongyang Yu. Holding his blade with his right hand, he looked at this Heavenly Blade master who had dominated for over a hundred years and said, "Senior Gongyang's blade path has reached the ultimate Martial Arts realm, enough to shake the Qiankun. As far as blade path is concerned, no Martial Arts in the world can surpass it."

Once, when he was competing with the younger generation, he experienced the mysteries of the Heavenly Sword at the Heavenly Sword Sect's true inheritor Zuo Qianqiu. In Chen Mu's view, even at its pinnacle, the Heavenly Sword Path still fell a level short of Qiankun.

But Gongyang Yu's strike reached the pinnacle, defied Qiankun, returned to Chaotic Origin, truly reaching the Martial Arts realm's ultimate, not inferior to the Qiankun Path. No Martial Arts in the world could surpass this blade in technique.

Even Chen Mu's Qiankun Path was merely evenly matched.

But in terms of foundation, Martial Body, and Power of the Soul Heart, Gongyang Yu was far from matching him. These were insurmountable gaps; yet, even so, Gongyang Yu was undoubtedly worthy of the title of "Sword Saint," a distinction of great honor!

With this one blade,

the future of the blade path now has an apex, a realm capable of rivaling Qiankun.

Of course, this so-called rivalry is still limited to the level of the blade path. In terms of the Way of Body Tempering, unless Gongyang Yu can organize a complete practice method for the 'Chaotic Origin Martial Body,' he is still inferior to the Qiankun Martial Body even if trained to the utmost.

But at least, with the existence of this blade path, all blade wielders now have a glimmer of hope, a hope to question Qiankun!

"Brother Gongyang's blade, at least, advances the blade path in the world by tens of thousands of years, deserving the honor of Sword Saint. In the future annals of Martial Arts, Brother Gongyang's name will undoubtedly be heavily inscribed."
