……

The pitch-black sword domain, devoid of light and darkness, crumbled inch by inch under the violent, unstoppable suppressive power of the demon-suppressing force.

The shattered fragments of light and shadow scattered and illuminated Shanwei's face, which was slightly panting from exhaustion.

He grinned, revealing his signature mischievous smile, and despite the numbness in his hand from the impact, his voice remained arrogant: "Good move! I almost fell for your trick again!"

"But Fifth Brother, this time I'm going to beat you so badly you'll be calling me 'Big Brother'!"

Chen Mu staggered half a step from the shock, and the Seven Kill Sword hummed and trembled, but he forcibly suppressed it.

He spat out a mouthful of non-existent blood onto the ground, his eyes as sharp as ever: "Pah! You think you can suppress demons in this little mountain? Maybe you can manage it in your next life if you're reborn into a better family. In this life, obediently call me Brother Mu!"

The shadows of vines swayed and entwined around them, creating a tense atmosphere that was also imbued with a stubbornness that was hard for others to understand.

These two people were born on the same day, month, and year, but neither of them was willing to reveal their exact birth time.

Thus, from their first meeting at the Soul Sacrifice Clan Competition, "discussing seniority under the sword" became the way these two sworn enemies resolved their issue of address.

Chen Mu raised his Seven Kill Sword diagonally, the tip of the sword trembling slightly like a snake's tongue, pointing directly at Shan Wei's brow.

Shanwei grinned, and with a simple, unadorned upward slash of the Demon-Suppressing Heavy Sword, he delivered a powerful strike – "Clang!"

The clang of metal clashing pierced through the rustling of swaying vines.

The immense force pressed down on Chen Mu, causing him to bend one knee slightly, and the gnarled vines beneath his feet groaned under the weight.

Sparks from the clash of swords landed between the two men, who were staring at each other from inches apart.

The last time such a clash occurred, Chen Mu's Lone Peak Sword Technique had a slight advantage.

Sweat trickled down Shanwei's brow bone and rolled into the dark, murky dust.

"You got the upper hand last time," Shanwei gritted his teeth, pressing all his weight onto his greatsword, trying to crush his opponent's block. "This time, I'll make you beg for mercy!"

Chen Mu gritted his teeth and withstood the overwhelming force. The muscles in his sword-wielding arm trembled slightly, after all, he was injured.

He spat out a defiant retort through gritted teeth: "Bullshit! Last time I made you call me 'brother'... today you're still stuck being the subordinate!"

……

Two flowers bloom.

Just now, in the center of the Azure Cage, Long Xiaoqian, who had been imprisoned for a long time, let out a deep, muffled roar.

Thanks to Ji Lintong, the invisible shackles binding Long Xiaoqian loosened a little.

His already tall and strong body was undergoing an astonishing transformation.

With a low growl, the first spirit ring faintly glowed purple, "Demon Ape Transformation!"

His sinews bulged and bulged beneath his muscles, his imposing figure grew taller and larger, and the power beneath his skin surged like boiling water.

Immediately following, the third spirit ring shone brightly with purple light, "Dark Gold Power!"

A layer of dull, metallic sheen instantly covered every inch of his exposed skin, even the contours of his undulating muscles were coated with a hard texture, and the flowing dark gold color made him look like an ancient bronze statue coming back to life.

But the real battle began with the arms!

The second spirit ring suddenly lit up, "Golden God's Wrath!"

This is a yellow spirit ring. Although it's not as purple as Long Aotian's ten thousand years later, it's a deep yellow.

In terms of acquiring spirit rings, the Body Sect is highly sought after.

Driven by the power of dark gold, the muscles and bones of his right arm surged, stretched, and deformed violently—his skin hardened and extended into a sharp blade. A heavy, menacing dark gold longsword condensed at the core of his arm bone, its blade reflecting a cold, eerie light.

His left arm also transformed into a heavy, massive, dark gold battle axe.

The skin completely transforms into armor, and then into the weapon itself.

The sound of swords and axes thundered!
The dark gold longsword whistled as it cleaved through several entangled meteorite vines, while the battle axe spun and cleaved the thick stems that had wrapped around it in two.

Broken vine fragments splattered with green sap.

But a devastating scene unfolded.

At the wound cut by the blade, a rich green light of life instantly healed the scar, and the broken vine sprouted new buds at a speed visible to the naked eye, twisting and entwining, and in the blink of an eye it had wrapped around the wound again more fiercely.

Long Xiaoqian's arms slashed with the speed of lightning, his feet moving nimbly in the limited space of the cage. The flashing blades and axe shadows brought up fragments of broken branches and leaves—one could be cut off, two would regenerate, the cut would heal, and new vines would coil around.

The dark gold blade struck the thicker meteorite vine, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound. It could only leave deep cracks rather than sever the vine completely, demonstrating the vine's resilience and strength beyond imagination.

Even more strikingly, broken vines took root the moment they hit the ground, coiling around his ankles like venomous snakes.

All of this was under the quiet gaze of Xiaoyi.

A soft, luminous green light swirled at her fingertips, maintaining an endless cycle of life and precisely guiding the flow of life force.

Every healing, every growth, and even the slightest adjustment in the direction of strangulation of the vines was under her control.

Each time Long Xiaoqian unleashed his power, he was met with even more vines coiling around him.

Sweat seeped from Long Xiaoqian's dark golden skin, sliding down along the cleavage-like muscle lines.

He wielded his sword and axe, slicing through countless vines, yet it was as if he had sunk into a thick, self-repairing, emerald-green swamp.

The clanging of metal against metal and the rustling of vines tearing and growing intertwined to create an eerie symphony of despair.

The dark gold giant was trapped in an ever-shrinking turquoise cage. Each heavy strike was like beating a massive drum of life, only producing an echo and more surging waves of vines.

The seven layers of "Azure Cage" shackles, nourished by abundant vitality, are as solid as a rock.

……

"Second Awakening!"
Long Xiaoqian's towering, ape-like body suddenly froze, and beneath his dark golden surface, some kind of boundary shattered.

Silvery-white light cascaded down like a waterfall, turning his originally wild and flamboyant orange-red hair into a frosty silvery-white, coating his face with a layer of cold, hard dark purple, and even the blood surging beneath his skin was coated with a metallic sheen.

This is not a simple color change, but a rise in the life level.

His aura surged like a ferocious beast awakening, and his soul power fluctuations broke through at an alarming speed—jumping from level 55 to level 62!
If the second awakening of the Bronze level is comparable to the markings of a breathing technique, then the Silver level is similar to the body of a god.

Every inch of bone and muscle is purified and compressed in the silver light, and its qualitative change far exceeds the physical enhancement itself - strength, reaction and defense all leap exponentially.

Its overall combat capability has increased by nearly 100%!

Chen Xiaojun and Xiaoyi had discussed that this move was somewhat similar to "Awakening of Life Force," both of which stimulate potential and were related to life.

However, there's a good thing: this "second awakening" starts from the Martial Soul, so its stress or aftereffects will be less than those of "life force awakening".

An even more profound change erupted in its arms—

"The profound meaning of the unity of heaven and man!"
His concept of "harmony between man and nature" is not a state of mind, but a profound principle of combat. Of course, this helps in understanding the state of mind.

The silvery radiance did not radiate outwards; instead, it rapidly collapsed inwards, fusing soul power and spiritual power into one.
