A Calamity Sword

Chapter 531: A Tribulation Sword

"This sword technique alone is not enough to defeat the First Ancestor."

Qin Mu put away his sword and looked at Taihuangtian shrouded in darkness. The stunning sword light in the air dissipated.

The crackling flames on the battlefield were still burning, not extinguished, and the air was filled with the smell of burning meat.

Although the sword he thrust out just now vented all his emotions in this sword and reached a height he had never reached before, he was still a long way from defeating the First Human Emperor.

Without the oppression of the First Human Emperor and without this experience of entering the dark world, it would have been difficult for him to take this step, difficult to break away from the village chief's sword pattern, and difficult to break away from the butcher's knife skills.

This thrust of the sword was not just a simple creation of a sword technique of his own, it also dispelled the haze that had been shrouding his heart for some time.

Sang Huan stared at his back in a daze. The young man's practice of swordsmanship at the altar just now left a deep impression on her.

Especially Qin Mu's last sword, pointing at his forehead and stabbing out with the sword, the artistic conception contained in that sword was so magnificent that she seemed to see in a trance a grand change of heaven and earth, and saw countless people of lofty ideals fighting in the bloody storm, one after another.

The sword technique that Qin Mu had displayed before, "Sword Stepping on Mountains and Rivers", was majestic and had the spirit of going forward to defeat the gods, but it was just a description of the mountains and rivers, which delicately dispersed the spirit.

The move of "One Sword Opens the Ocean of Blood" is full of murderous aura and too domineering, worthy of the sword god, but the meaning of the sword is to commemorate the martyrs and indulge in the ancient times.

When the emperor was robbed, it was too sad and wasted, and it told the history of the ruin of the emperor's era.

These three sword techniques each have their strengths, but also their weaknesses.

In terms of spirit, she felt that the previous three sword techniques were not as good as the one Qin Mu had just performed, but she couldn't tell exactly what was better about it.

"Good swordsmanship."

She stood up, came to Qin Mu, and asked, "What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

"Robbery Sword."

Qin Mu turned his head and watched her walk to his side, then raised his head and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in his face and landed in front of the altar, turning into an extremely majestic tiger. Its body was covered with black and yellow stripes, and some of its fur was swirling, making it look very powerful. There was a small tuft of fur on its ears, and its ears were standing up, and could turn in all directions.

"Great swordsmanship! That swordsmanship is truly brilliant!"

The tiger god stepped onto the stone steps of the altar. Halfway up, his front feet left the ground and he transformed into a god with a tiger head and a human body. He walked towards Qin Mu and shouted, "Why is it called the Jie Sword?"

This tiger god is the mount of the Woodcutter Saint. He was summoned to this world together with the Woodcutter Saint. He carries the Woodcutter Saint on his back to fight, and is very brave.

Qin Mu's heart was moved. This Black Tiger God had returned from the front. It seemed that the Woodcutter Saint had already pacified the demon gods at the front. He immediately said, "The change of heaven and earth is called a great catastrophe! The change of heaven and earth is not just a natural disaster, not just an invasion of demons, not just the people being buried in fire and water. The change of heaven and earth is also the change of people's minds, the change of supernatural powers, and the change of laws." Note ①

The tiger god tilted his head and walked up, sneering, "Change the hearts of the people, change the magic, change the law, change the way, you are so arrogant! With your swordsmanship, can you change the world, change the bright universe, and change the thoughts and ideas of all living beings? Your swordsmanship is not bad, but you are too ambitious!"

Qin Mu's eyes became eager, and his tone was a little excited: "Change the hearts of the people. If the people don't worship God and don't fear God, then God will have no power. If God has no power, then you can change your supernatural powers. If supernatural powers change, then the law will change. If the law changes, then the Tao will change. If the Tao changes, then the world will change!"

Sang Huan looked at the young man beside her. The young man was in high spirits and was not afraid at all even when facing the majestic Black Tiger God.

Qin Mu raised his hand and pointed at the tragic battlefield in the darkness. His voice was a little hoarse, but it was quite shocking in the night.

"Look! This is the calamity that the gods and demons have sent to us. They want to destroy our world and let the common people know the power of the gods and demons, to fear them, to be terrified of them, to respect them, and to worship them! And my sword of calamity is to start a calamity that will change the hearts of the people, change the supernatural powers, and change the way of the Tao, thus changing the world!"

He became more and more passionate. Although Sang Huan didn't quite understand what he said, she could feel the passion surging in his heart!

This young man seemed to have a charm that could infect people's hearts, making people unable to help but listen to his words and be infected by his emotions.

The black tiger god arrived at the bottom of the altar in just a few steps. His body was much taller than Qin Mu and others, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The demon god looked down at Qin Mu for a long time before he smiled, his beard spreading out in all directions: "I knew you were amazing. I don't understand everything you said, but I think it's very powerful. What's the name of this move of yours?"

Qin Mu looked up at him and said in a deep voice: "This sword technique is called Kaijie!"

The Black Tiger God was slightly startled. "The calamity that will change the people's hearts? The calamity that will change the supernatural powers? The calamity that will change the way of Taoism? What a good name!"

Sang Huan also understood some of it. This young man who came from another world beside her wanted to bring disaster to these gods and demons who had brought disaster upon them, so he called his swordsmanship Kaijie.

His swordsmanship followed the path of reform, changing the methods of his ancestors and overturning the orders of gods and demons.

The Black Tiger God asked again: "How many moves does your sword have?"

Qin Mu's face turned slightly red, and he said hesitantly: "At present, I only have one move. I think my foundation has been used up after creating this move..."

"I think so. There isn't much you can accumulate at your age."

The black tiger god's beard stuck to his face and said, "It's quite remarkable that you can create a sword technique at your age. I'm here on the orders of my lord to take you over. He's fighting with someone and needs you. Come with me."

Qin Mu was slightly startled, and couldn't help but get excited: "The Woodcutter Saint wants to see me?"

The Black Tiger God showed his true form again and said, "Didn't you understand? He was fighting with someone, and suddenly he thought of you and asked you to come over. Get on my back. There are still some dangers along the way, and there are many demons. You can't go through by yourself."

"The woodcutter saint is fighting with others... Bah, fighting with others, what do you want me to do?"

Qin Mu was puzzled, but he still jumped onto his back. Sang Hua hurriedly jumped on and said, "My father is also at the front line. I'll go find him!"

The yellow and black tiger god took a step forward and ran towards the front line at an extremely fast speed.

Although his body is huge, it is full of tendons, and he runs silently without making any sound.

"It's much faster than Long Pang!"

Qin Mu clenched his fists and felt a sudden pain in his heart. Although Long Qilin ran much faster than before, his steps were heavy, and when he ran at full speed, he would crush even the rocks.

Sang Huan looked at the dark night and felt a little worried. They had already moved away from the battlefield, jumped over the front line, and were running towards the city of Li where the demons were. Many demons gathered there, including the real demon Fu Riluo!

When Li City was breached, it was Fu Ri Luo who took action personally. He used his magic power to kill countless people in Li City. Even the two true gods of Taihuangtian were killed in his hands. His power was extremely powerful!

This Black Tiger God leaped over the vanguard army and headed straight out of the city. Isn't this courting death?

"How do the masters of Taihuangtian determine whether a person has the potential to be a true god?"

Qin Mu woke up and asked the girl beside him, "How do they practice?"

Sang Hua suppressed her uneasiness and said, "First of all, we need to look at the aptitude. The aptitude of a spirit with the aptitude of a king will not be very bad. If there is a famous teacher to guide them and teach them the skills of a true god, and they practice diligently, their physical body can reach the level of a young true god. In addition, we have another test in Taihuang Heaven, called the God-Suppressing Tower. Those who can walk out of the God-Suppressing Tower will be considered to have the aptitude of a true god."

Qin Mu blinked his eyes: "God-suppressing Tower? What is that place?"

Before Sang Huan could say anything, the Black Tiger God's voice came, saying, "The God-Suppressing Tower is a treasure left over from the previous emperor's era. It is used to test the achievements of the physical body. Those who can open the God-Suppressing Tower cannot be considered as having the potential to become a true god. They can only be considered as having a physical body that barely reaches the level of a young true god. Those who pass the God-Suppressing Tower in Taihuang Heaven have at most half the potential to become a true god. It is extremely difficult to become a true god. How can you become a true god by studying the true god's skills and practicing hard?"

Sang Hua couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, how can one be considered to have the potential to become a true god?"

"The true qualities of a true god are not just the physical body, but also the primordial spirit. The primordial spirit is divided into the spirit and the soul. Has the spirit embryo reached the qualities of a true god? Has the soul reached the qualities of a true god? In addition to the primordial spirit, there is also the state of mind. Even if the state of mind reaches the divine realm, it is not enough to become a true god. Because in addition to the state of mind, there is also the divine realm of the Tao."

The Black Tiger God said: "You so-called supernatural beings with the potential to be true gods are still far from being true gods! For example... young man, what is your name?"

"My name is Qin Mu!"

Qin Mu quickly said, "The contemporary Heavenly Saint Patriarch."

"The Heavenly Saint? Never heard of him."

Qin Mu's face darkened. Ever since the founding of the Heavenly Demon Sect, everyone regarded the Woodcutter Sage as the ancestor and saint teacher. He didn't expect that his mount had never heard of the Heavenly Demon Sect!

The Black Tiger God continued, "For example, Qin Mu, he is quite capable. In your opinion, his physical body has not reached the level of a true god, but his strength is very strong, enough to compete with the so-called true god-level supernatural powers."

Qin Mu said excitedly: "This is because I am a tyrant!"

"Tyrant? Never heard of it."

As the Black Tiger God flew through the darkness, he continued, "His swordsmanship is close to the Dao realm, and his understanding of Dao magic is almost at the level of a true god. His state of mind is a little weak, and it is not strong enough. As for his Yuanshen, it is also very strong, and is also first-rate among the magicians of the same generation. Therefore, he has the strength to compete with the young masters with the talent of a true god... We have arrived at the city!"

Ahead, flames shot up into the sky, and a magnificent city was shrouded in light. On top of the city stood demon gods and countless demons.

Sang Huan was horrified to see that these demons and monsters did not stop the Black Tiger God, but let them enter the city.

Note 1: The change of heaven and earth is called a great catastrophe. This sentence comes from the Taoist classic "Yunji Qi Qian".
