Chapter 596 - 413: Martial Momentum Clash, Domain Insights, and the Feast Begins!
At the edge of Myriad Leaves Lake, a worldly blade was drawn, yet the murderous aura did not affect the surrounding streets, not even stirring the flags hanging outside the taverns. In a blink, it crossed the alley and pressed down on a quietly appearing figure.
Clang!
Another worldly blade was unsheathed, equally unyielding.
Two forces of Martial Momentum clashed fiercely, like porcelain shattering upon hitting the ground. Amid the sound of clashing metal, the space became overwhelmed and produced a continuous buzzing, just from the pure confrontation of these two forces!
The next second, the proud man stomped his right foot on the ground, and a special force flashed by, containing and eradicating the aftermath of the clash without damaging any objects in the alley.
The figure at the end of the alley was none other than Su Mu, who had left the Ye City Martial Arts Association for some fresh air.
Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of battle intent in them, along with a hint of surprise. Indeed, Huaxia Land, the Ye Family and Ye City, hid many remarkable figures.
"Peak Martial Momentum?"
Su Mu carefully sensed the sharp and murderous martial momentum, a trace of hesitation passing through his heart. He could discern that it was a martial momentum that had reached peak level; otherwise, it could not have stirred the two peak blade momentums within him to such a degree.
However, the other had no murderous intent, only curiosity. Su Mu could not immediately identify what kind of martial momentum it was, yet it was so sharp.
Furthermore, the force the man used to contain the aftermath of the martial momentum was quite unique, the first time Su Mu had encountered such power, though it felt vaguely familiar.
"Such a peak blade momentum? No wonder you could leave your name on the Sword Monument; you are quite impressive."
Su Mu looked toward the man standing before the Sword Monument by Myriad Leaves Lake, clad in a white gold-trimmed martial robe. His short hair was clean and sharp, and although his facial features were not particularly outstanding, his eyes were extremely profound.
He was tall, with broad shoulders and long arms, combined with an extremely proud and confident demeanor. He was captivating, noticeable at a glance, no matter where he stood.
It was as if the ground beneath him was the center of the earth.
"If I were to tell you that this world is heading toward annihilation, and it will happen not long in the future, would you believe it?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mu’s pupils constricted abruptly, his mind struck like a heavy blow.
Catastrophe?
This person knows about the catastrophe?!
The proud man took note of Su Mu’s expression, involuntarily sighing, feeling somewhat disappointed and lost, as expected, no one would believe it.
However, the next moment, the man’s face registered shock.
"No, I believe!"
Su Mu’s voice was firm and resolute. The proud man trembled all over, revealing ecstasy, intending to continue speaking when a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from the direction of the Ye Clan Territory.
"I have some matters to attend to, take this token. I acknowledge you, and I’ll come to find you after some time. Your martial momentum has reached such a level that this item should aid you, consider it a small greeting gift."
"I hope next time we meet, you’ll become even stronger!"
As the words fell, the proud man’s figure flickered, transforming into a golden stream of light cutting through the night, disappearing from Ye City in an instant.
Once the golden stream of light vanished, the terrifying aura from the Ye Clan Territory paused on Su Mu for a few seconds before disappearing.
"That aura from the Ye Clan Territory is likely the aura of the Ye Family Martial Saint..."
Su Mu turned to look toward the Ye Family’s direction, making a guess regarding the identity of the earlier person.
Reaching out into the void, he obtained a token and a piece of Purple Jade.
The token’s material wasn’t special, just ordinary refined iron, without any ornate decorations, engraved with three ancient characters on the front and a single ancient character for "Heaven" on the back.
Upon seeing the character for "Heaven," Su Mu’s gaze settled on the Sword Monument, where there was also a character for "Heaven."
Thus, the identity of the person earlier became apparent.
The unparalleled demon of contemporary Huaxia, Huangfu Tian!
"Everyone likely underestimates Huangfu Tian; he’s stronger than the rumors, and he knows about the catastrophe."
Su Mu’s eyes sparkled with intensity, looking in the direction where Huangfu Tian had left. He hadn’t perceived it in detail during the martial momentum clash, but when Huangfu Tian evaded the Ye Family Martial Saint.
The force he exhibited in that instant resonated somehow with the Flame Gate within Su Mu’s Sea of Consciousness.
"Huangfu Tian isn’t as rumored, unable to comprehend the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed. That just now was the aura of the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed, and it contained the aura of the Ye Family’s Formless Three Flowers."
In other words, Huangfu Tian had truly mastered the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed, and not only the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed.
For a time, Su Mu became even more interested in this legendary Huaxia martial prodigy.
"It’s not wise to stay here long; I should return."
The Ye Family Martial Saint was alerted, and Su Mu quickly returned to the cultivation room at the Ye City Martial Arts Association. At this time, he infused a hint of spiritual power into the Purple Jade Huangfu Tian had given him.
Immediately, the information within the Purple Jade emerged in his mind, and after briefly digesting it, Su Mu’s eyes shone brightly.
The Purple Jade didn’t contain any shocking martial arts, but rather Huangfu Tian’s insights and experiences concerning martial momentum, which surpassed thousands of worldly martial arts.
It recorded several attempts of Huangfu Tian’s failures at reaching the Mental Realm, along with some unique realizations.
Though there were multiple failures, these insights were extremely valuable, and even from them, Huangfu Tian had gleaned some unique things.
"That special force that restrained the aftermath of the martial momentum must be... Domain Power!"
