When a martial artist takes the step towards the Celestial God realm, they need to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth to form a domain.
The rules of heaven and earth are numerous, varying in strength, which in turn leads to differences in the strength of martial artists' domains.
Even if two martial artists comprehend the same rule of heaven and earth, there will still be distinctions.
After breaking through to the Celestial God realm, Mu Canglong was able to become the second strongest in the Mu family, and even a peerless powerhouse in the entire Outer Domain world, because he comprehended two rules of heaven and earth.
One was the rule of speed, and the other was the rule of power.
Under heaven, no martial art is unbreakable by speed.
One force can break all techniques.
These were the inspirations behind Mu Canglong's comprehension of these two rules.
With his domain formed by these two rules, he was a dominant existence among the Celestial God realm powerhouses in the Outer Domain world.
At this moment, as he unleashed his saber strike, the true qi sabers suspended around him swiftly converged, forming a nearly materialized true qi treasure saber that slashed towards Heavenly Dragon Daoist.
Fast.
This saber strike was astonishingly fast!
Boom!
Heavenly Dragon Daoist had no time to react before the true qi treasure saber struck the Yin Yang Millstone.
This was a manifestation of the rule of speed!
However, the true qi treasure saber did not break through the Yin Yang Millstone, only creating a crack. The true qi treasure saber was then embedded within it, spinning with the Yin Yang Millstone and being gradually dissolved by it.
Facing Mu Canglong's terrifying saber strike, Heavenly Dragon Daoist was not flustered. Instead, he madly burned his origin true qi, activating his Yin Yang domain for defense, temporarily blocking the true qi treasure saber.
However—
At this moment, the true qi treasure saber vibrated violently, unleashing a terrifying and unparalleled power. It instantly halted the Yin Yang Millstone's dissolution of it and continued to cut forward, intending to completely sever the Yin Yang Millstone and kill Heavenly Dragon Daoist, who was at the core of the Yin Yang formation.
"Heaven and Earth Qiankun, Yin Yang Transmutation!"
As danger loomed, Heavenly Dragon Daoist let out a low shout. His hands moved rapidly, forming seals, and the Yin Yang Millstone spun even faster, undergoing a massive change.
In an instant, the black and white Yin Yang Millstone turned entirely white, with only a black dot in the center—Heavenly Dragon Daoist.
At this moment, Heavenly Dragon Daoist was activating the ultimate profound meaning of the Yin Yang domain—Yin Yang Transmutation—under the premise of using the Daoist Sect's inner energy cultivation technique's forbidden art and burning his origin true qi!
Yang leads offense, Yin leads defense.
Supreme Yin contains the profound meaning of overcoming the strong with the soft, making it the strongest defense!
With the transmutation of Yin and Yang, the Yin Yang domain presented its strongest defense. Mu Canglong's true qi treasure saber was once again stopped, feeling as if a person had fallen into a swamp or mire, unable to advance further.
"Blocked?"
"That native old scoundrel actually blocked Mu Canglong's domain saber strike?"
"This... How is that possible?!"
The elders from the other four great families of the Outer Domain, though distant from the battlefield where Heavenly Dragon Daoist and Mu Canglong were fighting, were all half-step Celestial God realm powerhouses and could clearly see the entire process of their combat.
At this moment, seeing Heavenly Dragon Daoist block Mu Canglong's domain saber strike with the Yin Yang Millstone, they were all shocked!
This was because even though Mu Canglong was suppressed and weakened by the world's rules, he still possessed the strength of a Celestial God realm!
Mu Canglong, in the Celestial God realm, using a 'domain saber strike' imbued with two laws of heaven and earth, could not break through Heavenly Dragon Daoist's Yin Yang domain. How could they not be shocked?!
If even they were astonished, let alone Mu Canglong himself?
On the platform below Mount Everest, Mu Canglong's eyes widened, looking at the Yin Yang Millstone before him with disbelief, as if to say: How could he possibly block it?
"Celestial God realm, nothing more than this!"
Heavenly Dragon Daoist's low shout was the response to Mu Canglong.
As the shout echoed, Heavenly Dragon Daoist's mind moved. He waved his hands and formed seals again, and the completely supreme Yin millstone began to spin frantically once more, intending to completely melt the true qi treasure saber that Mu Canglong had unleashed.
"Ugh..."
The elders of the four great families of the Outer Domain, hearing Heavenly Dragon Daoist's incomparably domineering words and watching the true qi treasure saber being melted, were utterly dumbfounded!
Just like the five half-step Celestial God realm powerhouses who descended upon the East Sea Martial Academy back then, they had never seen a domain capable of melting an opponent's domain!
Even the current strongest powerhouse of the Outer Domain world, or the legendary overlords of ancient times in the Outer Domain world, their domains could not achieve this!
Furthermore, Heavenly Dragon Daoist was only at the half-step Celestial God realm, half a realm lower than Mu Canglong!
The scene before them had completely surpassed their understanding of domains and subverted their understanding of martial arts, making it unbelievable for them!
"What happened?"
"Did that native block Master Mu's attack? And... is he looking down on Master Mu?"
"Am I hallucinating?!"
At the same time, the other soldiers of the Outer Domain army were all dumbfounded.
In their eyes, Mu Canglong's strike would have been enough to instantly kill Heavenly Dragon Daoist.
However, the two had fought to this point, and Heavenly Dragon Daoist was not only alive but was also uttering words of contempt towards Mu Canglong!
"He blocked it!"
"Heavenly Dragon Daoist blocked the attack of that Celestial God realm Outer Domain enemy leader!"
At the same time, in the God Net live broadcast, the host screamed excitedly.
"Heavenly Dragon Daoist, truly invincible in this era!"
"A half-step Celestial God realm repelling a true Celestial God realm is an unprecedented myth!"
Martial artists from all over the world were also as if injected with stimulants, extremely excited, some trembling as they typed comments.
Not only them, but even in the front-line command center, Qi Wufu, Li Rui, and others had faces filled with excitement—Heavenly Dragon Daoist's performance far exceeded their expectations!
Only Jiang Wuming was an exception.
Amidst the excited crowd, Jiang Wuming frowned, staring intently at the God Net live broadcast. His brow was filled with worry.
The worry stemmed from the fact that he could tell that Heavenly Dragon Daoist today was completely different from how he was at the East Sea Martial Academy.
On that day, Heavenly Dragon Daoist had a serene expression, his actions were effortless, and he swept through everyone.
But the current Heavenly Dragon Daoist had no ease on his face; instead, there was solemnity, and he appeared to be struggling somewhat.
For this reason, Jiang Wuming deduced that his master had used the forbidden art of the Daoist Sect's inner energy cultivation technique, burning his true qi, and even his origin true qi.
Setting aside the side effects of the forbidden art, if Heavenly Dragon Daoist, under the use of the forbidden art, could not kill the enemy, there was only one outcome—death!
"I must admit, you have indeed shocked me. To think that in this native world with its scarce martial arts environment, you have almost cultivated to the true Celestial God realm!
However, a slight miss is a vast chasm!
Even if you use forbidden arts and burn your origin true qi, it will be of no avail—take another saber strike from me!"
As if to confirm Jiang Wuming's judgment, on the battlefield, Mu Canglong saw through everything and revealed the truth, then once again unleashed his domain saber strike.
Boom!
In an instant, the true qi treasure saber reappeared, imbued with the rules of speed and power, and arrived in an instant, slashing towards Heavenly Dragon Daoist.
Boom!
At this very moment...
Another loud noise erupted.
The snowdrift not far behind Mu Canglong exploded, and a figure suddenly shot up, like a cold gleam, soaring towards Mu Canglong!
Invincible in this era, Zhuge Lingyun.
He wielded the God Slaying Saber and slashed at Mu Canglong!
This was the old man's final saber strike in his life.
Capable of slaying Celestial Gods!!
