Da Xuan Martial Saint

This differed from the earlier display where Ling Huan manipulated the power of the formation; this time, it was the genuine posture of a Celestial Human, unleashing the real methods of a Celestial Human. With a single move, heaven and earth followed, and this Fist Seal seemed to twist heaven and earth, leaving no room for escape!

There was no flamboyance in the technique, only the simplicity of immense power!

Facing Ling Huan's genuine Celestial Human Fist Seal, and feeling as if facing the entire world, the vast expanse of the ten thousand-mile Xunmu, Chen Mu harbored no fear in his heart. On the contrary, he felt a surging passion, with every drop of blood in his body trembling violently, as if they were brewing endless fighting spirit. They even seemed on the verge of such a transformation, to withstand the washing and refining by the Power of Heaven and Earth, and to take the step towards the ultimate realm of Body Tempering Martial Arts.

Of course, Chen Mu knew this was an illusion, as Xunmu Cave Heaven could not bear the transformation of the Blood Exchange Realm; this sensation was merely caused by the slight changes induced by Ling Huan's posture as a Celestial Human, wielding The Power of Heaven and Earth.

Without superfluous words.

Chen Mu raised his hand, to meet the oncoming blow with a Fist Seal of his own!

The light of Qiankun Eight Phases cycled and Solidified Refinement, gathered on the surface of the fist. It was also plain and simple, executing the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal!

Boom!!!

The two Fist Seals collided in midair, then suddenly burst apart.

Chen Mu's fist and Ling Huan's fist did not make contact, but stopped about three feet apart. In the void between them, densely packed white cracks appeared, exploded, stretching several dozen feet, continuously shattering and spreading, until at the very center, a pitch-black void crack burst open!

Shua.

Chen Mu and Ling Huan both withdrew and stepped back. Right after, their figures flashed, reappearing dozens of feet away, ready for the second move.

The third move,

The fourth move,

The fifth move,

As the two clashed with basic moves reminiscent of ordinary townsfolk, their figures continually flickered. After each collision, the void was almost always left burst open, creating pitch-black void cracks!

Having swallowed a massive amount of Xunmu's power with a Taboo Secret Art and having lifted his restrictions to force a rise to the perfect posture of a Celestial Human, Ling Huan, and Chen Mu, at the peak of the Seventh Realms and with his Martial Body reaching its apex, exchanged dozens of moves in a short time.

These dozens of moves gave no indication of who was stronger or weaker, but the sky above, riddled with cracks, continued to spread. Many fissures, yet to heal, were once again shattered, eventually extending over hundreds of feet, all dotted with white rifts, as if the entire canopy of heaven had turned into a shattered sheet of ice, about to collapse!

Below,

Hong Shida and many other Grandmasters were still blocked by the forest's flow, but many were looking up at the great battle in the sky. This was a true exchange at the Celestial Human level. Even as Grandmasters, it was a scene they may not witness many times in their lives, their eyes filled with awe at the power, the yearning for the pinnacle of Martial Arts, and amazement.

As the exchange between Chen Mu and Ling Huan intensified, although both of them were moving at their utmost speeds, their figures flickering relentlessly across the sky, subtle changes gradually became apparent between the two.

One could see Chen Mu's arms sporting bloody wounds that would appear and then rapidly mend into invisibility, while Ling Huan, on the other hand, had fine cracks gradually surfacing all over his body and unceasingly spreading and intersecting, with droplets of crimson blood seeping through the cracks, looking quite terrifying, as if he could shatter completely at any moment!

If Ling Huan were in the Da Xuan World, not bound by any restrictions and a true Celestial Human, perhaps he could have contended with Chen Mu without falling behind. But employing a Taboo Secret Art to forcibly break limits to display the full power of a Celestial Human... Ling Huan, the Celestial Human ancestor, was not a match for Chen Mu!
