Chapter 880: Chapter 463: Sword Shatters the Thunder Tribulation (Part 2)

In the next moment, a cyan hill appeared before Li Mu, magnified thousands of times, with thunderbolts striking its body, unable to shake it in the slightest.

At the same time, the Ten Thousand Spirit Swords rooted on the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain seemed to be enraged by the tribulation thunder, emitting constant ’buzzing’ sword hums. They were like awakened giant dragons, breaking free from the mountain, turning into dazzling Sword Qi, shooting straight into the sky.

A glint of determination flashed in Li Mu’s eyes. He took a deep breath and fully activated the True Essence within him to bolster the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, nearly infusing all his True Essence into this strike.

As Li Mu’s surging True Essence infused into the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, it began to shake violently, and the Ten Thousand Spirit Swords were endowed with life. Guided by the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, they danced lightly in the air, interweaving into a gigantic Sword Net.

Li Mu drove the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, deploying the Profound Celestial Ten Thousand Swords Array, preparing to use the power of the Sword Array to destroy the thunder cloud.

Once the Profound Celestial Ten Thousand Swords Array was initiated, it condensed Li Mu’s will, quickly converging to form a massive Sword Dragon, making the raging thunderbolts seem to tremble.

Aware of Li Mu’s rebellious act, the will of the Heavenly Dao was enraged, the thunderous fury became even more aggressive, with enormous thunderclouds rolling and releasing more terrifying tribulation strikes than before, silver giant dragons coiling in the sky, rapidly converging.

Li Mu’s gaze was firm, unafraid of the Heavenly Dao’s enraged will, he pushed the power of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain to its limits, the Sword Net grew tighter, and the Sword Qi became sharper.

"Slash!" Li Mu shouted, his voice echoing through the clouds. The Ten Thousand Swords launched in unison, transforming into dazzling sword lights, charging towards the thunder cloud.

In an instant, countless Sword Qi and tribulation thunder violently collided in the sky, erupting into brilliant light and deafening roars.

However, the tribulation thunder from the Heavenly Dao seemed infinite, continuously bombarding the Profound Celestial Ten Thousand Swords Array. Li Mu felt the increasing pressure from the Heavenly Dao, but he did not retreat, instead, he was spurred by a stronger fighting spirit.

One after another, Sword Qi was birthed from the Ten Thousand Swords, infused with Li Mu’s unwavering will, engaging in fierce battles with the tribulation thunder.

As time passed, Li Mu gradually gained the upper hand, the Ten Thousand Swords were sharp, the Sword Qi unmatched, slicing through the thunder cloud like agile and sharp fish dancing in a storm, churning the cloud to devastation.

Li Mu floated in the air, his Five Elements Dao Body fully revealed, radiating multicolored light, fully focused on manipulating the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, guiding the swords in their battle against the tribulation thunder.

Within the thunderclouds, Thunder Dragons roared, carrying the power of heaven and earth destruction, constantly clashing with the Sword Qi to intercept the Ten Thousand Spirit Swords, the frenzied Thunder Essence unleashed its fury.

As time continued, although the tribulation thunder within the clouds was still fierce, under the disturbance of the Profound Celestial Ten Thousand Swords Array, their assault began to grow disordered, the tribulation thunder showing signs of fatigue.

Seeing this, Li Mu felt a surge of joy, knowing the scales of victory were tipping in his favor.

However, just as Li Mu thought he was about to succeed, the Heavenly Dao’s will seemed unwilling to relent. The dispersed thunderclouds, under the support of the Heavenly Dao’s will, gathered once more, their rumble intensified, as if heralding the arrival of an even stronger tribulation thunder.

Seeing this, Li Mu’s expression turned solemn, but he did not retreat. He quickly retrieved and consumed a large number of High-tier Spirit Pills from his storage space, fully operating the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique, trying to recover the severely depleted True Essence.

The spirit pills dissolved within Li Mu’s body, turning into pure energy that coursed through his meridians and Dantian, nourishing his body.

Li Mu felt his strength gradually recovering, but he also knew that relying solely on these spirit pills was far from enough. The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, as a Tier Seven Daoist Soldier, wielded immense power, but to continuously control it to exert its full strength, even with his cultivation in Five Elements and Yin Yang, he felt it beyond his ability.

At this moment, the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, having devoured the Spirit Vein of the Celestial Moon Peak, its Artifact Spirit manifested, its spirituality greatly enhanced, transformed into a Five-Colored Flood Dragon, spiraling and flying in the sky, radiating brilliant light.

The Five-Colored Flood Dragon spiraled above Li Mu’s head, its scales glistening with dazzling light, seeming to contain endless mysteries. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spewed pure Spiritual Power, cascading like a waterfall, enveloping Li Mu within.

Li Mu’s spirit was invigorated, immediately sensing the strength of this Spiritual Power. It flowed like sweet spring water, quickly nurturing his withered meridians and Dantian. His True Essence rapidly recovered under this Spiritual Power, even stronger than before.

Li Mu’s eyes brightened, the feedback from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion’s Artifact Spirit boosted his confidence greatly, his True Essence’s quality multiplied. With this technique, wielding the Daoist Soldier, Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, he had confidence in destroying this small thundercloud.

Li Mu took a deep breath of the Essence Qi between Heaven and Earth, focusing his mind, his fingers rapidly dancing in the void, resonating mysteriously with the Ten Thousand Swords, fully driving the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, guiding the swords to once again weave the Profound Celestial Ten Thousand Swords Array.

This time, Li Mu poured his True Essence into the Sword Array without reservation, greatly enhancing the power of the Profound Celestial Ten Thousand Swords Array.

The Ten Thousand Spirit Swords, nourished by the immense True Essence, emitted dazzling and blinding light, their Sword Qi sharp and unparalleled, the brilliance so intense, it illuminated the entire thundercloud, brightening the previously darkened sky.

Facing the regrouped thunderclouds and the denser thunder roar, Li Mu’s eyes sparkled with firm light, understanding that this upcoming sword swing would be his ultimate confrontation with the will of the Heavenly Dao. The success or failure of this sword not only concerned his life and death but would also determine the fate of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

Li Mu clasped his Long Sword tightly, focusing intently on the thunderclouds in the sky.

The celestial thunderclouds prepared at the critical moment, gradually forming a pitch-black vortex, emitting an awe-inspiring pressure, the thunder’s roar deafening, as if intending to drown this piece of heaven and earth in endless rumblings.

In the face of the terrifying thundercloud, Li Mu remained unmoved, with only one belief in his heart—break through the thundercloud.

"Slash!" Li Mu shouted, his voice filled with a sense of absolute determination.

As his shout fell, the Ten Thousand Swords resonated, like ten thousand dragons emerging from the sea, with grand momentum, the Ten Thousand Spirit Swords rapidly converged in the air, combining into a gigantic thousand-foot Giant Sword, its Sword Qi like a rainbow, pointing directly at the thunderclouds in the sky.

The thousand-foot Giant Sword pierced through the thundercloud in an instant, charging into it, violently slashing, unleashing massive, sharp Sword Qi, slicing through the thundercloud as if cutting through a giant cake.

Accompanied by earth-shattering roars and the eruption of thunder light, the terrifying vortex thundercloud was gradually cleaved apart by countless slashes of the Giant Sword, creating a massive void.

The void within the thunderclouds grew larger, and the gathered thunderclouds soon shattered into pieces, the cracks swiftly expanding. Finally, the entire thundercloud was torn into countless fragments, and the power of the Heavenly Dao’s will could no longer regroup the thundercloud, the tribulation thunder began to dissipate at this moment.

As the thundercloud dissipated, the sky returned to tranquility, sunlight broke through the clouds and shone upon the land, bringing a touch of warmth to the mountain range that had suffered the tribulation thunder’s rampage.

Li Mu hovered in the air, gasping for breath, his face pale, a sign of excessive True Essence depletion.

However, looking at the battle results he created, a victorious smile appeared on Li Mu’s face, knowing that he had successfully withstood the celestial tribulation, defending the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

Li Mu slightly smiled, gently patting the side of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. This mysterious mountain seemed to resonate with his intent, trembling slightly in accordance with his will.

A rush of Sword Qi quickly spread from the body of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, like a vast net, enveloping all the Ten Thousand Spirit Swords in the sky.

Under the pull of this Sword Qi, all the Spirit Swords emitted crisp sword hums, resembling a flock of birds returning home, swiftly racing towards the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. Each Spirit Sword shone brilliantly, tracing beautiful arcs in the sky, finally embedding steadily into the mountain.

With the last Spirit Sword in place, the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain once again regained its peace.

Li Mu put away the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, his gaze falling on the Artifact Spirit of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

The Painting Realm Treasure Mansion’s Artifact Spirit, sensing the thundercloud’s dispersal, happily flew around Li Mu. After drawing an entire Top-Grade Spirit Vein, it radiated new vitality, its five-colored scales gleaming enchantingly in the sunlight, telling of endless joy.

Li Mu slightly smiled, his Innate Divine Technique—Spirit Recognition, allowed him to clearly perceive that the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion had entered a rapid recovery state, letting him breathe a sigh of relief.
