Liu Yunfeng didn't expect that his strike, with 80% of his strength and 50% of his cultivation path, would only result in a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of the opponent's mouth... and a retreat of tens of thousands of miles? He was somewhat shocked as well.
Such a strike from him would normally kill even a junior supreme cultivator outright! How could this Quasi-Supreme... be virtually unharmed? Indeed, in Liu Yunfeng's view, Chu Mo was almost unscathed. Not to mention a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, even spewing a mouthful of blood would be equivalent to no injury at all!
How is this possible?
Liu Yunfeng was truly somewhat stunned. It was then that he suddenly realized that the other person was also a swordsman!
While there are a good number of cultivators who practice swordsmanship, those who truly understand the way of the sword are indeed a rarity. Especially to master swordsmanship to such an extent that, prior to this, Liu Yunfeng had never seen anyone do it!
If this Quasi-Supreme hadn't possessed such profound skill in swordsmanship, Liu Yunfeng was confident that his strike would have reduced Chu Mo to nothing!
"Impressive!"
After being stunned for a while, Liu Yunfeng couldn't help but voice his admiration, then candidly said, "I lost, you may proceed to the Trial Field of Reincarnation. My name is Liu Yunfeng. If you don't mind, let's become friends. Once you've grown stronger, we must have a proper fight!"
Chu Mo smiled and nodded: "My name is Lin Hei."
Alright, no need for Lin Bai, he'd use Lin Hei this time. Chu Mo couldn't be bothered to think of any other names. It was just a code name after all. The only name that truly belonged to him was Chu Mo.
"Okay, Brother Lin Hei, you may pass." Liu Yunfeng looked at Chu Mo, "Whenever you have time, let's delve into swordsmanship together!"
Chu Mo smiled and gave a respectful bow: "I wouldn't dare, I look forward to Brother Liu's guidance."
With that, he flew straight towards the Trial Field of Reincarnation.
That's it? It's over? Just letting him go to the Trial Field of Reincarnation like this?
On the ground below, all the young supreme cultivators were utterly dumbfounded!
They had hardly taken Chu Mo seriously just now, and the majority hadn't even noticed what had happened.
Because it happened too fast!
The two had exchanged just one move, then parted ways. Liu Yunfeng admitted defeat, Lin Hei left. It seemed like... the two really became friends?
Dammit!
Is there no justice in this world?
All these young supreme cultivators were nearly going mad.
"Can someone tell me what just happened?"
"Brother, I want to know even more than you!"
"What's with this world? A Quasi-Supreme can be this powerful just by wielding a holy artifact?"
"That's the Cold Moon Blade!"
"Hehehe, Cold Moon Blade, what a treasure! The foremost among the eight great holy artifacts, it has been missing for many years..."
"Such a weapon should belong in the hands of someone worthy of it."
In the crowd, people had varied thoughts and watched the retreating figure flying towards the mountain of Reincarnation with complex expressions.
As for Liu Yunfeng, he returned to the cold pool's side, took out his meat bun, and bit into it voraciously, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Foodie!
No one knows how many people were inwardly cursing Liu Yunfeng, then their eyes eagerly followed that figure flying towards the Trial Field of Reincarnation, the shock in their hearts starting to ferment and intensify.
Extraordinary!
The more they thought about it, the more incredible it seemed. The peak of the Quasi-Supreme realm, that's still Quasi-Supreme, which means, in the eyes of countless young supreme cultivators, a Quasi-Supreme is still a mighty emperor!
What does 'Quasi' mean? Quasi means not yet! Not yet... what makes one a supreme? Isn't that just gold-plating one's face? Although many of them were happy to consider themselves Quasi-Supremes before achieving their path, after truly advancing, they understood the gap between them, all feeling ashamed of their past ignorance. It's not about mockery or self-mockery, it's that the gap between Quasi-Supremes and supreme cultivators is just too big!
Even for exceptional Heavenly Geniuses, facing that vast chasm would invoke a deep sense of powerlessness. Only then would they truly understand the difference between them. Thus, their mockery of Chu Mo was not entirely unreasonable. But Chu Mo's performance completely overturned their previous perceptions.
A Quasi-Supreme... can really be this powerful?
Liu Yunfeng sat there, eating his bun bite by bite, head down, too lazy to look at these people.
Chu Mo quickly arrived above the Trial Field of Reincarnation, where three stone steles stood, each a hundred feet tall and quite enormous. But relative to the Trial Field of Reincarnation itself, these three steles seemed too trivial and unimpressive. Only by standing in front of the steles could one feel their own insignificance.
The three steles were the Heavenly Ranking, Earthly Ranking, and Human Ranking.
The Human Ranking had the most names, Chu Mo glanced at it and then flew by. He did not wish to challenge anyone until he possessed the strength to ascend to the Heavenly Ranking.
Because it was pointless. Aim to be the best!
The Heavenly Ranking had significantly fewer names compared to the Earth Ranking, with only a hundred. Chu Mo briefly glanced over and noticed, among them, six or seven with the surname Ji. He estimated that the majority must be from the Luotian Imperial Clan.
In the end, Chu Mo's gaze rested on the Heavenly Ranking, his eyes blazing with desire. This was the ranking he truly aspired to be on.
Heavenly Ranking first place, Zi Dao; second place, Zhong Sheng; third place, Wu Fei; fourth place, Du Chuan; fifth place, Hu Xiao; sixth place, Zhang Yalu; seventh place, Ouyang Fei; eighth place, Ji Qi; ninth place, Xue Wulei; tenth place, Jiang Caiyue.
No sign of that Liu Yunfeng just now? Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, finding it somewhat unbelievable. With Liu Yunfeng's strength, could it be that he couldn't even make it onto the Heavenly Ranking? From the reaction of those young supremes earlier, it was apparent that Liu Yunfeng must be a renowned and powerful figure. So why wasn't his name on the board?
Could it be on the Earth Ranking?
As Chu Mo pondered, he looked back at the Earth Ranking. With just one hundred names, someone at Chu Mo's level could memorize them all with just a sweep of divine sense.
Not on the Earth Ranking either!
Chu Mo was somewhat taken aback. He then checked the Mortal Ranking. Alright, among those three thousand names on the Mortal Ranking, none was Liu Yunfeng!
"Stop looking. I previously left the Trial Field once. The rules of the Trial Field state that once someone leaves, their name disappears from the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Rankings," Liu Yunfeng, for some reason, actually came over as well.
At that moment, those young supremes one by one began flying towards this area.
"Why aren't you blocking the way anymore?" Chu Mo asked casually with a smile.
"It's pointless. They're all too scared to fight me," Liu Yunfeng said somewhat gloomily.
The horde of young supremes trailing behind nearly choked on their own blood. With your monstrous strength, a single disagreement and you pulverize someone into dust, scattering their soul. Who in their right mind would fight you?
Even though this was the Trial Field, and although everyone came prepared for all eventualities, the issue was that they came here to grow stronger, not to seek death! How many were truly tired of living? Knowing they were no match, who would dare rashly charge forward?
Chu Mo had a speechless look on his face, looking at Liu Yunfeng: "Then, Brother Liu, what position did you hold on the Heavenly Ranking before?"
Liu Yunfeng scratched his head and said, "Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten... I've been in all of them. There are too many powerful figures, and not everyone likes to be on the rankings."
That makes more sense!
Chu Mo thought to himself, if a cultivator of this caliber couldn't make it onto the Heavenly Ranking, then it would mean the cultivators in this world were truly terrifying.
"Jiang Caiyue... Heavenly Ranking tenth, heh, I wonder how long she can stay in that position this time?" As the group of cultivators that followed had arrived, someone who saw the Heavenly Ranking couldn't help but laugh and say.
"Come to think of it, she's been on the Heavenly Ranking quite a few times, hasn't she?"
"Yeah, and then she's often squeezed out again."
"I say, being the first on the Earth Ranking isn't too bad either!"
"Nonsense, of course, it's not bad. The question is, can you do it?"
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. We all have the same cultivation level; victory or defeat is only a matter of one or two moves."
"Hehehe, you're so naive, brother. If everyone has the same cultivation level, does that mean their combat strength is the same? Didn't you see the combat strength of that Quasi-Supreme just now? Can you beat him if you fight him?" Someone coldly sneered, stirring the pot.
That young supreme, after giving Chu Mo a glance, who was beside Liu Yunfeng, suddenly sneered: "He uses a blade as well, aiming to take the path of blade mastery. It's merely normal that he could withstand a blow from Brother Yunfeng. But in a battle, how could he possibly be my opponent?"
"You can give it a try!"
The onlookers, who loved a good show, continued to provoke.
Chu Mo, on the other hand, was speechless, thinking what did this have to do with him? But he did fix his gaze on the instigator, saying coldly: "Do you dare fight me?"
The young supreme who was stirring up trouble indeed had the intention of watching the excitement, but he did not expect to become the target, and he immediately sneered with a darkened face: "What, Lin Hei, right? Do you think you are very powerful? And well-known? Let me tell you the truth, someone like you, I'll give you a handicap and only use one hand!"
Boom!
All the surrounding people became excited.
It wasn't because there was a show to watch - such excitement was not rare in the Trial Field. The key interest was in one of the combatants, who they were very curious about.
A Quasi-Supreme, just how formidable could their combat strength be? These people all wanted to know.
Liu Yunfeng slightly furrowed his brow; he indeed wanted to make friends with Chu Mo. For some reason, he felt a certain resonating quality in Chu Mo that he couldn't find in other cultivators. Thus, he truly didn't want to see Chu Mo come into any mishaps.
However, this was the Trial Field!
If Chu Mo really wanted to fight with someone, there was no way he could stop it.
"You don't need to give me any advantage. A supreme like you isn't that strong. High cultivation, strong divine abilities, and a deep cultivation level don't mean your combat power is strong. If you want to battle, then let's battle. Be quick, I still have things to do," Chu Mo looked at the young supreme, saying calmly.
