As the battle deepened, Sword Master Chen profoundly felt the profoundness and depth of Li Mu's Chaos Law Domain, as if it could devour and transform all power between heaven and earth.
Whether it was the Sword Qi he released or his Law Domain, both were suppressed and transformed into a part of the Chaos Law Domain within this Chaos.
"The Dao of Chaos is indeed unfathomable!" Sword Master Chen praised inwardly while controlling his Gengjin Law Domain, but also felt that Li Mu had not used his full strength.
Today, he wanted to force out Li Mu's true strength and ascertain his potential.
"Elder Li, be careful!" Sword Master Chen said, holding the Gengjin Dao Sword and revealing his figure as he looked at Li Mu.
Before his words finished, the Gengjin Qi within Sword Master Chen's body suddenly boiled, like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.
His figure flickered, then disappeared, merging into the Gengjin Law Domain, using a secret technique that only Combined Body Realm Cultivators could perform—"Sword Domain and Body Integration, Gengjin Law Manifestation."
In an instant, all the Gengjin Qi on the entire Doujian Stage seemed to be summoned.
They were no longer invisible forces but transformed into Sword Master Chen's figure; every Gengjin molecule became his extension, his will, his Sword Intent.
Sword Master Chen completely merged with the Gengjin Law Domain, forming a colossal, purely Gengjin-composed Sword God phantom, standing between heaven and earth, majestic and sacred.
This Sword God phantom held a giant sword condensed from Gengjin Law, with golden divine light flowing on its blade.
Even a slight tremor of the sword tip was accompanied by the distortion and tearing of space, as if it could cut through all obstacles in the world.
At this moment, Sword Master Chen's will and the power of the Gengjin Law reached a perfect synergy; every thought and movement could stir the Gengjin Qi between heaven and earth, wielding it as easily as an arm.
"Sword Master, this is not a Doujian competition; why be so serious? I just condensed my Law Domain and am still unfamiliar with it."
Seeing this, Li Mu's expression showed a hint of solemnity, and he hesitated.
"Elder Li, you are too modest.
I have deeply experienced the power of your Chaos Law Domain.
Today's battle is not for victory or defeat but truly for exchange and discussion, to explore the ultimate limits of the Martial Dao.
I, Chen, have been obsessed with the Dao of Sword my entire life, and it's rare to encounter an opponent like you.
Naturally, I must go all out to seek a Breakthrough myself." Sword Master Chen's voice came from the Sword God phantom, carrying a hint of sincerity and anticipation.
Hearing this, a hint of emotion flickered in Li Mu's eyes.
He cast aside his previous hesitation, and his expression became firm: "Sword Master speaks wisely.
Since that is the case, then Li will accompany you."
With that, Li Mu's Soul Power surged, releasing the restraints on his Chaos Law Domain and manifesting the Chaos Law Manifestation.
His figure gradually blurred, as if merging with the surrounding Chaos Law Domain, or perhaps slowly walking out of Chaos like an ancient deity.
Under the Chaos Law Manifestation, Li Mu's face became hazy and profound, and his eyes flickered with starlike Chaos Power, exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery.
As Li Mu's mind moved, the power within the Chaos Law Domain began to surge madly, forming swirling Chaos Tornados.
They spiraled and intertwined in the air, releasing a world-destroying Aura.
Just as the Chaos Tornados raged and heaven and earth changed color, Sword Master Chen's Sword God phantom remained unmoved.
Golden sword light gathered at the sword tip, its substantial sharpness pointing directly at the sky, arriving in an instant.
"Gengjin Sword Intent, Slash!"
Sword Master Chen bellowed, and the giant sword in the Sword God phantom's hand suddenly swung out.
A dazzling golden sword light streaked across the sky, heading straight for the Chaos Tornados.
Wherever the sword light passed, space seemed to be split in two, leaving long, thin cracks.
"Chaos Domain, Devour!"
Li Mu roared, and the Chaos Tornado suddenly accelerated its rotation, forming a massive Chaos Vortex, its center like a black hole capable of devouring everything.
The golden sword light and the Chaos Vortex met in mid-air, immediately erupting in an earth-shattering collision.
The sword light was incomparably sharp, cutting through the power of Chaos, while the Chaos Vortex twisted and spun like a living thing, swallowing the golden sword's sharpness in one gulp.
The small Doujian Stage, under the frantic impact of this power, seemed unable to withstand the pressure and began to tremble, with violent spatial fluctuations, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Fortunately, under the protection of the Formation and Formation Artifacts Li Mu had previously set up, this power was effectively contained within the Doujian Stage, without causing too much impact on the outside world.
However, just as this destructive power intertwined, a strange change quietly occurred.
The golden sword light did not completely dissipate in the Chaos Vortex but was slowly enveloped by the Chaos Power, and the boundary between the two began to blur.
Sword Master Chen's brows furrowed.
He could feel his Gengjin Sword Intent gradually being assimilated by the Chaos Law Domain, but this was not a bad thing; on the contrary, it was an unprecedented experience.
During the process of the Gengjin Sword Intent and Chaos Power's Fusion, an inexplicable enlightenment suddenly surged into his heart, as if the mysteries of heaven and earth had opened their doors to him at this moment.
Sword Master Chen's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that he was standing on an unprecedented Realm threshold.
"So, the Dao of Sword and the Dao of Chaos are not mutually exclusive but can complement and merge with each other..." Sword Master Chen murmured to himself, his eyes flickering with the light of Epiphany.
His Gengjin Sword Intent, enveloped by the Chaos Power, not only did not disappear but became even tougher and deeper.
The Gengjin Qi was endowed with the inclusivity and changeability of Chaos, becoming indestructible and infinitely variable, gradually being offset and transformed within the Chaos.
At the same time, Sword Master Chen glimpsed a part of the Chaos Law Domain's mysteries—a power system that surpassed all his previous understanding.
He saw how the power between heaven and earth flowed and transformed within Chaos, and he saw the fundamental Laws of the birth and death of all things and the evolution of the Universe.
At this moment, he seemed to breathe and share destiny with heaven and earth, and his understanding of the Dao of Sword reached a new height.
"The Heavenly Dao's ultimate truth, it turns out, is hidden within this Chaos!"
Sword Master Chen stopped his attack, his gaze dull, as if deeply attracted by an invisible force, falling into contemplation of the Heavenly Dao's ultimate truth.
The Gengjin Sword Domain surrounding his body produced a special rhythmic fluctuation with his breathing.
Seeing this, Li Mu did not take the Opportunity to attack.
He withdrew his Chaos Law Domain and stood quietly to the side, his eyes flickering with admiration and anticipation.
Sword Master Chen was currently experiencing a rare Epiphany of the Formation, a great Opportunity countless Cultivators dreamed of.
Perhaps through this Epiphany, he could cross that hurdle and fully advance to the Great Vehicle Dao Lord.
"Epiphany, Sword Master Chen is having an Epiphany!"
"What a great Opportunity! I didn't expect this battle to give Sword Master Chen the Opportunity for Epiphany!"
Watching the two on the Doujian Stage stop fighting, with Sword Master Chen standing still, lost in thought, Qin Wentong and Zhong Zilin couldn't help but exclaim enviously.
"Silence, all of you! This is a crucial moment for Sword Master Chen's Dao comprehension; any disturbance could cut off his Opportunity." Sword Master Feng transmitted his voice, interrupting the crowd's clamor, and looking at Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, and Ge Xinyu, he transmitted his order: "You three guard this place; don't let anyone approach."
Qin Wentong and the other two bowed in unison, not daring to speak further, and carefully guarded the Doujian Stage.
"Elder Li, come with me."
Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with eyes as if he were looking at a treasure, transmitting his Divine Thought.
Hearing this, Li Mu smiled brightly, immediately understanding Sword Master Feng's intention.
He then flew out of the Doujian Stage and followed Sword Master Feng to the top of a relatively secluded mountain peak.
"Elder Li, in today's battle, your Chaos Law Domain displayed extraordinary power, truly opening my eyes." Sword Master Feng spoke first, his tone full of praise and affirmation: "Especially this battle, which even gave Sword Master Chen the Opportunity for Epiphany, is truly rare."
Li Mu smiled humbly and said, "Sword Master Feng exaggerates.
Li merely did what he should.
Sword Master Chen's Dao of Sword cultivation is unfathomable, and being able to battle him has also benefited Li greatly."
Sword Master Feng nodded slightly and continued: "Sword Master Chen's Epiphany is not only his personal Opportunity but also a great fortune for our sect.
If he can break through the Combined Body Realm with this Opportunity, you will have the greatest credit."
"I have been stuck in the Combined Body Realm for a thousand years, always unable to reach the threshold of Mahayana, but watching your fierce battle today, I too have gained much insight, though not as good an Opportunity as Sword Master Chen's." Sword Master Feng said this, a never-before-seen anticipation flashing in his eyes as he looked at Li Mu.
"Sword Master, if you have anything to command, Li will certainly do his best."
Li Mu smiled slightly, mostly understanding Sword Master Feng's implied meaning, and replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Sword Master Feng's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Elder Li, I observe that your Chaos Law Domain has infinite potential.
Not only is its power astonishing, but it also contains the profound mystery of encompassing and transforming all things.
This is the foundation of the Great Dao."
Changing the subject, Sword Master Feng continued: "The Chaotic Great Dao that Elder Li cultivates has already revealed its boundless potential.
I have a question, are you willing to share more insights about the Dao of Chaos?"
Li Mu immediately replied respectfully: "Sword Master Feng is too polite.
It is Li's great honor to discuss the Dao with you.
I am only an Initial of the Dao of Chaos and know little.
My understanding of Chaos is that it is the origin of all things and the root of the Universe, containing infinite possibilities.
It encompasses all things yet transcends them.
My understanding of the Chaos Dao Law, first and foremost, lies in 'nothingness' and 'existence'...".
"All things in the world are born from Chaos.
Within Chaos, there is neither form nor attribute; this is 'nothingness'.
However, it is precisely this 'nothingness' that gave birth to the initial 'existence'; the origin of all things stems from this.
The Dao of Chaos is about finding that sliver of life, that hint of change, between this 'nothingness' and 'existence'."
"Furthermore, the Dao of Chaos emphasizes transformation and Fusion.
Within Chaos, all things can transform into each other.
Yin and Yang generate and counterbalance each other, and the Five Elements generate and counterbalance each other; all are manifestations of the principle of Chaos transformation.
And my Chaos Law Domain, which I cultivate, combines Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, incorporating external attacks, spiritual power, and even the Origin Qi of heaven and earth.
Through Chaos Fusion, it transforms them for my use.
This is the profundity of the Dao of Chaos's inclusivity and transformation."
"In addition, the Dao of Chaos also contains a transcendent power.
It is not bound by form, nor limited by Law,..."
...
Listening to Li Mu's detailed narration, Sword Master Feng nodded from time to time, sometimes showing understanding, sometimes hesitation.
Thus, the two engaged in a deep exchange and discussion on the Dao of Chaos and the principles of the Dao of Sword on the mountain peak.
Li Mu, with his unique perspective and insights, provided Sword Master Feng with many fresh thoughts and inspirations.
After a period of in-depth exchange and discussion, Sword Master Feng's eyes became even brighter, yet he still had many unresolved confusions.
He sighed and said, "Elder Li, today's discussion of the Dao has greatly benefited me.
However, I still have an impolite request; I hope Elder Li can grant it!"
Although Li Mu had a guess in his heart, he still humbly replied: "Sword Master speaks too seriously.
Just say it; Li will certainly do his best."
"I wish to engage in a Doujian with you, not for victory or defeat, but only to take this Opportunity to personally experience the profound mysteries of the Dao of Chaos.
Perhaps it can help me break through my Bottleneck and step into the Mahayana Realm." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with bright eyes and requested.
Li Mu nodded knowingly and respectfully replied: "Since Sword Master Feng has such an elegant interest, Li will naturally accompany you.
However, please be merciful, Sword Master; Li's cultivation is still shallow, and I fear I cannot withstand Sword Master's full power."
Sword Master Feng laughed heartily and said: "Elder Li is too modest.
When you and I engage in Doujian, we will stop at the appropriate point; the emphasis is on comprehension."
"Elder Li, please set up a protective Formation first! Otherwise, if we start fighting, this large spiritual mountain will be destroyed." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu, eagerly saying.
"Sword Master, please wait a moment!" Li Mu nodded knowingly, flew to the Doujian Stage, and retrieved those Formation Artifacts.
Afterward, Li Mu flew to the Doujian location chosen by Sword Master Feng, released the Five Elements Jade Plate, set up the Five Elements Protective Formation, stabilized space, and transformed the residual combat power into the Five Elements Protective Formation's power.
He lightly tapped the small bronze gong, and sound waves rippled, creating an echo barrier to absorb and transform sound wave impacts, preventing sound from leaking out.
He unfolded the Myriad Manifestations Sealing Diagram, with mountains, rivers, stars, and living beings appearing vividly on it, transforming into flowing light and merging into the Void Realm, building a powerful barrier...
As several Formation Artifacts were activated, three Formations tightly enveloped the entire spiritual mountain.
The entire peak of the spiritual mountain was covered by a faint layer of spiritual light, and the outside clamor and prying were isolated, leaving only the two of them, preparing to engage in a unique contest in this space interwoven with Chaos and Sword Intent.
"Elder Li, please!" Sword Master Feng summoned his Qingyuan Dao Sword, and a profound Sword Intent surged from his body.
The azure wind sword blades were omnipresent, and his sword momentum was sharp yet elegant, like a spring breeze turning into rain, silently nourishing all things, yet capable of instantly transforming into a fierce storm, destroying all obstacles.
Li Mu smiled slightly, summoned his Five Elements Dao Sword, and his Chaos Law Domain unfolded again, surrounding him, interweaving with the azure sword light emanating from Sword Master Feng's Qingyuan Dao Sword, forming a breathtaking scene.
"Sword Master, please enlighten me!" Li Mu responded in a deep voice, his figure moving slightly.
Before his words finished, in the next moment, Li Mu's figure transformed into a streak of flowing light and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Sword Master Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his Qingyuan Dao Sword hummed softly in his hand.
He lightly tapped the Void Realm with the sword tip, and immediately, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand.
Streaks of azure Sword Qi roared out like tornados, carrying a world-destroying Aura, heading straight for Li Mu. (End of Chapter)
