Chapter 1039: Chapter 540: Cross-Tier Sword Duel (Part 2)

As the battle deepened, Sword Master Chen profoundly felt the depth and vastness of Li Mu’s Chaos Realm, seeming capable of devouring and transforming all forces within heaven and earth. Whether the released Sword Qi or his Dharma Realm was suppressed in this chaos, becoming part of the Chaos Realm.

"The Dao of Chaos, indeed unfathomable!" Sword Master Chen controlled the Geng Metal Domain, secretly admiring it, yet sensing Li Mu hadn’t exerted his full power.

Today, he aimed to force out Li Mu’s true strength and explore his potential.

"Elder Li, be careful!" Sword Master Chen, holding the Geng Metal Dao Sword, revealed his form and spoke to Li Mu.

Before the words fell, Sword Master Chen’s Geng Metal Qi suddenly boiled, like rivers breaking dikes, unstoppable. His figure flickered and vanished, merging into the Geng Metal Domain, using an Integration Cultivator’s secret skill — "Sword Domain Unity, Geng Metal Dharma Aspect."

In an instant, the Geng Metal Qi on the Sword Fighting Platform seemed summoned, no longer an invisible force, but transformed into Sword Master Chen’s figure. Every Geng Metal molecule became his extension, his will, his Sword Intent. Sword Master Chen completely merged with the Geng Metal Domain, forming a gigantic Sword God Illusion composed entirely of pure Geng Metal, standing majestic and sacred between heaven and earth.

This Sword God Illusion wielded a Giant Sword condensed from Geng Metal Law, its body flowing with golden divine light, with even its tip’s slight tremor accompanied by space distortion and tearing, as if it could cut through all worldly obstacles.

At this moment, Sword Master Chen’s will and the power of the Geng Metal Law reached perfect integration, with every thought and movement able to command the Geng Metal Qi in heaven and earth, wielded as easily as an arm.

"Sword Master, it’s not a sword duel competition, why so serious? I’m just starting to form my realm, still unfamiliar."

Seeing this, Li Mu showed a faintly serious expression, hesitatingly said.

"Elder Li, you are too modest. I deeply experience the power of your Chaos Realm. Today’s battle is not for victory or defeat but for exchange and exploration, jointly seeking the Extreme Realm of martial arts. I, Mr. Chen, have been obsessed with Sword Dao all my life; encountering an opponent like you naturally requires full effort to pursue self-breakthrough." Sword Master Chen’s voice came from the Sword God Illusion, carrying some sincerity and expectation.

Upon hearing, Li Mu’s eyes flashed a touch of emotion, collecting earlier hesitation, his expression becoming firm: "Sword Master makes a valid point. Since that’s the case, Mr. Li has no choice but to accompany."

After speaking, Li Mu’s Soul Power surged, releasing constraints on the Chaos Realm, deploying the Chaos Dharma Aspect, his form gradually blurred, seemingly merging with the surrounding Chaos Realm, as if an ancient deity slowly emerged from chaos. Under the Chaos Dharma Aspect, Li Mu’s visage became hazy and profound, eyes sparkling like stars with the Light of Chaos, emitting an indescribable majesty and mystery.

With a thought from Li Mu, the energies within the Chaos Realm began frantically surging, forming Chaos Dragon Tornadoes. They whirled and intertwined in the air, releasing the breath of Heaven and Earth Destruction.

Just as the Chaos Dragon Tornadoes ravaged, causing heaven and earth to change color, yet Sword Master Chen’s Sword God Illusion remained unmoved, the golden Sword Aura gathering at the sword’s tip, like a tangible blade aimed directly at the heavens, arriving in an instant.

"Geng Metal Sword Intent, cut!"

Sword Master Chen shouted, the Giant Sword in the Sword God Illusion’s hand swung fiercely, a dazzling golden Sword Aura slicing through the sky, heading directly for the Chaos Dragon Tornadoes. Wherever the Sword Aura passed, the space seemed divided, leaving slender cracks.

"Chaos Domain, devour!"

Li Mu roared, and the Chaos Dragon Tornadoes suddenly accelerated, forming a massive Chaos Vortex, its center like a black hole, capable of swallowing everything.

The golden Sword Aura collided with the Chaos Vortex mid-air, instantly erupting in a seismic explosion. The Sword Aura, sharp and unmatched, cut through the chaotic force, while the Chaos Vortex twisted and rotated like a living creature, swallowing the golden sword’s edge.

The small Sword Fighting Platform, under the turmoil of this power, seemed unable to withstand the pressure, started trembling, with space fluctuating intensely, as if it could collapse at any moment. Fortunately, under prior arrays and array artifacts set up by Li Mu, this force was effectively contained within the Sword Fighting Platform, causing no significant impact on the outside.

However, amidst the weaving of this destructive power, a strange transformation quietly occurred; the golden Sword Aura within the Chaos Vortex didn’t completely dissipate but was slowly enveloped by that power of chaos, blurring the boundary between them.

Sword Master Chen furrowed his brows, sensing his Geng Metal Sword Intent gradually being assimilated by the Chaos Realm, yet this wasn’t a bad thing, instead, a completely new experience. During the fusion of Geng Metal Sword Intent with the Power of Chaos, a sudden realization surged within him, as if the mysteries of heaven and earth unveiled before him at this moment.

Sword Master Chen was shocked internally, immediately realizing he stood at an unprecedented realm threshold.

"So, Sword Dao and the Dao of Chaos aren’t irreconcilable, but can complement and integrate..." Sword Master Chen muttered to himself, eyes sparking with the light of enlightenment. His Geng Metal Sword Intent, under the envelopment of the power of chaos, not only didn’t disappear but grew tougher and more profound, the Geng Metal Qi endowed with chaos’s inclusiveness and transformation, became unbreakable yet endlessly variable, gradually counteracting in chaos, the transformative process.
