Mu Shen was relaxed because, the tower of fifth cannot be exited so easily. Just as it is difficult for most cultivators to enter, it is also difficult to leave. So instead of deciding to simply leave due to a feud, Wang Si and Wang Chung focused on becoming one of the top ten that would be chosen for Astral combat Academy.
The Tower of fifth has so many base and floors. The massive turret screamed of perfect control and coordination. Zhao Ran stared at Yuan Shi.
"I haven't heard of anyone who uses the Bleeding sky except for Liu Fuxue. She was someone worthy to be called a powerhouse. What I do not understand is, why that guy is able to replicate the same technique."
Yuan Shi was silent for a while and he added: "From what I know, the bleeding sky cannot be learnt since it is a comprehension technique. The Bleeding sky is something that Liu Fuxue comprehended."
"That's right," Xuan Qi said. "The truth about comprehension techniques is that, it varies of different types. There is never any day I heard that someone's comprehension technique was used by another person. This guy is really stunning."
"A comprehension technique is definitely different from a battle technique. Anyone can learn any kind of battle technique, but a comprehension technique is unique to one person. How did he do it?" Ling Xuan's face was contorted in a frown. But then their gazes snapped towards the entrance of the Tower.
The iron bars were rolling upwards again.
The next minute, a multitude of cultivators pooled into the lowest base of the tower of fifth. Immediately one man shouted.
"Jiu-Jitsu, she's the one. She tried to destroy our spiritual force. Attack!"
There was an uproar and countless battle techniques moved into the horizon and sent ripples through the air which caused an internal rumble within the tower.
Zhao Ran's face was pale. She immediately turned to leave while Xuan Qi used feather God flames to scare the cultivators. The temperature around spiked and the unbearable darkness descended causing endless chill to sweep through the air.
Sharp flames like a filamental feather pierced through the air and aimed for numerous cultivators. But only a few were stabbed by the feather and two died as their stabbed bodies shattered bit by bit.
Ling Xuan's third sword descended, replacing the sky and pressing down on everything below.
Yuan Shi's expression was calm. These people here were trash. The real competition is Mu Shen, so he waved his hands and a terrifying force spread which overturned the earth. In an instant, many cultivators were either gravely injured or brutally killed.
Si Cheng from where he stood used the All Knowing Shield to withstand the power from those freaking geniuses, his eyes scanned the entire base for Mu Shen, but he was nowhere to be found.
'Is he alright?' Si Cheng Shook his head. 'Mu Shen is a powerhouse. The way his combat Strength improved after cultivating the day before actually stunned me.'
Suddenly Zhao Ran appeared before Si Cheng in an instant and Si Cheng's pupils shrank down rapidly.
He tried to dodge, but all of a sudden his eyes were unfocused and surprised. He saw himself seated atop the chieftain throne that allows one enjoy the power as a Town's president. He was happy, he was contented. Everything just seemed normal, smooth and real.
"From today, Si Cheng becomes the Town president, the one who becomes in charge of the Lower realm." The voice of a man resounded within his ears and Si Cheng was excited, his hormones palpitating, his adrenaline, rushing.
But then, his brows furrowed under the declaration of power and might. He doubted, and instantly one doubt changed everything completely.
Si Cheng's pupils constricted and he retreated, his face pale.
This has been an illusion and now, his spiritual force suffered a terrifying attack.
Zhao Ran sneered; "I was about to make you dominate even the Upper realm, why did you doubt?"
Her hands moving and the air around shaking from the impact. Si Cheng spat out blood and responded; "no wonder it felt so good to be true. And besides, a low life like myself cannot dream of becoming a ruler. The Upper realm is the dominating realm which is why a single doubt is able to break your Illusion, very pathetic!"
Zhao Ran scoffed. "If you had allowed that Illusion to complete, your spiritual force would have been annihilated completely. Let's do this again."
"Night's End Daybreak!"
The moment Zhao Ran muttered, Si Cheng's face paled beyond the normal color, his mouth leaking blood uncontrollably.
Si Cheng had used Blessings of the Mind Technique to protect his mind from myopic invasion, but the power from Night's End Daybreak still caused him to spit blood.
"You dare resist?" Zhao Ran hissed as she charged forward causing Si Cheng's expression to pale.
In a span of two hours, chaos erupted and the base of the Tower was filled with ongoing battles. More cultivators died and some were injured to the extent that they could no longer fight. They became the easiest prey by a much powerful cultivator.
Mu Shen had been one floor above the base where much of the fight took place. His eyes was closed as he manipulated his surroundings with his six senses. But then, his instincts towards the environment spiked and a sharp chill rose dramatically and Mu Shen discerned that the attack was coming from the left hand side.
Mu Shen took two steps to the right and an arrow whistles past his head as the air distorted and warped.
His mental picture was becoming much sharper and it was due to the intense feeling of brushing side-by-side with the jaws of death that heightened those sense. The slight feel of chill could alert Mu Shen where the danger is coming from, what the danger is and who was actually attacking.
This person gave him a terrifying sense of crisis and he had to open his eyes, fearing that keeping his eyes closed will leave him with a certain disadvantage.
Mu Shen stared at the tall and timid man before him. And a certain memory dropped into his mind, all of a sudden he remembered that this person was Qiu Puyu. A very old acquaintance. His body told him that Qiu Puyu was dangerous, his mind screamed to simply avoid the young man, but it was already too late.
Qiu Puyu appeared.
At the same time, the bleeding sky took over as a wave of red washed over the entire first floor. Anyone that enters is overwhelmed by the terrifying feeling of pressure, the aura that it gives off seem so unrivaled.
Qiu Puyu spat out blood but his face did not change and then, he moved his hands in a symmetrical pattern. The moment he crossed his hands, the bleeding sky shattered.
Mu Shen was horrified.
His eyes red as blood dropped from his lips. The bleeding sky was not omini-potent, anyone who discovers the flaw can shatter the bleeding sky and that one flaw is; brittleness.
The law is that, the bleeding sky can bring about unimaginable power, pressure and aura that suppresses everything. It's range is very large that it is possible to cover the entire Lower realm. As long as any other power doesn't meet with the sky head-on, then the bleeding sky can retain it's dominance in the battle, however if something hits it squarely, the bleeding sky would collapse.
Mu Shen was bitter. He had already known about the flaw of bleeding sky, which is why he doesn't use it much often. He did not expect someone to discover and shatter it so soon.
He glared at Qiu Puyu with hatred while the man stared back.
"I heard that you stole the Wang family's Heavenly Dao of seven rivers technique. I want to have the jade slip." His voice was commanding but Mu Shen sneered;
"Come have it!"
Then, the four corners of the world around locked Qiu Puyu in place, surprising the young man for a bit. What a strange technique.
But Qiu Puyu broke out in no time, telling Mu Shen that harsh truth that none of his Techniques were able to make him go all out.
For the first time, Mu Shen felt despair so thick.
