The magic techniques the Demon Lord understood and had mastered were all in their pri when they were in the Immortal Realm. The Demon Lord had no deep understanding of what kind of power these techniques should display in the Four Symbols Continent.
So, the Demon Lord did not realize that these techniques, as wielded by Chu Mo, were many tis more powerful than when others used them after cultivation.
Therefore, the Demon Lord rely smiled faintly at Chu Mo's boasts and said, "I hope so!"
The Demon Lord then said, "The boxing technique you are cultivating is known as the Three Talents Boxing Technique of Heaven, Earth, and Man."
"The Three Talents Boxing Technique of Heaven, Earth, and Man?" Chu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.
The Demon Lord said, "Indeed. This boxing thod only has three moves, and you seem to have almost grasped the essence of what should be the 'Man Fist'."
Chu Mo twitched his mouth, "It might sound better just being called 'One Fist'..."
"…" Not bothering to argue with him, the Demon Lord continued, "The footwork you practice is called Phantom Wind Step. Even in the Immortal Realm, this technique is considered top-tier! Once you develop your immortal power, you will beco a phantom when using it. By the ti soone sees the phantom, you would have already been miles away!"
"That sounds pretty good, sowhat interesting," Chu Mo said, grinning.
The Demon Lord continued, "The technique you just used to intercept the poison needle was the Thousand Heavy Hands. Your quick understanding of its secrets surprised a bit."
"Is that technique powerful?" asked Chu Mo.
"Of course!" replied the Demon Lord confidently. "When used in the Immortal Realm, the Thousand Heavy Hands can transform into millions of hands for combat! Would you say that's powerful?"
"Sounds pretty powerful!" Chu Mo said, sowhat longing.
"It is indeed powerful!" snapped the Demon Lord, who had been hiding in the void. He then said, "The skill of the blade you are practicing is the most powerful! In truth, this blade skill really suits you."
"How so?" asked Chu Mo.
"This blade technique is known as the Eight Blades of Netherworld. To fully unleash its power, a suitable blade is absolutely essential. This technique is so dominating that ordinary precious blades simply cannot withstand its might. On the Four Symbols Continent, this is still manageable. But in the Spirit Realm or the Immortal Realm, ordinary precious blades would shatter the mont you deploy this technique! But your blade... will not," the Demon Lord explained.
"The Eight Blades of the Netherworld … I like this!" Chu Mo chuckled.
"The blade you have grasped so far is called Soul Seizure. A human's soul is composed of three parts: the Heaven Soul controls consciousness; the Earth Soul controls emotions; the Man Soul controls life span. When Soul Seizure is deployed, it imdiately seizes all three components of the soul. In the Supre Realm, the enemy is already dead before this blade can even fall on them," the Demon Lord said in a soft voice, "Of course, to achieve this state, you will have to at least wait until you reach the Spirit Realm."
Then, the Demon Lord said, "But because you have already grasped the essence of Soul Seizure, even if you use it here in the Four Symbols Continent, the power of this blade move is still awe-inspiring."
"You might not have noticed, but when you deployed this move, your opponent's reaction was slightly slower than usual."
"In a life-or-death battle, even a slight delay in reaction could determine the outco!"
"Moreover, your blade is so sharp that virtually no weapon can withstand this blade move."
"Therefore, at the sa level...Even if soone is one level higher than you, once confronted with you wielding this Soul Seizure with the blade in your hand, he has virtually no chance of escaping. Even when faced with soone two levels higher...it might still be effective!" The Demon Lord turned sowhat wistful as he said this, recalling that he had once relied on the Eight Blades of the Netherworld to sweep across the Immortal Realm, slaughtering beings who were one and a half levels stronger than himself.
"Soul Seizure..." Chu Mo muttered, recalling his opponent's reaction as he executed the move. It seed just like his master had said: the sight of the blade mystified the opponent, stripping away their usual agile response.
So, it wasn't that his own blade was especially swift... but rather, the mystery of the blade was Soul Seizure!
"The second of the Eight Netherworld Blades is called Life Killer," explained the Demon Lord. "The so-called Life Killer is ant to eliminate all living beings in this world! This blade requires an ample asure of murderous intent to comprehend. Your current level of murderous intent still falls short, but I expect you'll be able to grasp it after this ti."
"The third of the Eight Netherworld Blades is called the Soul Cutter!" The Demon Lord erged from the void and approached Chu Mo, looking directly at him. "A person's soul is the root of life, and life is the soul's branches and leaves. Life cannot flourish without a soul, and a soul cannot grow abundant without life. As such, the Soul Cutter is more brutal than both the Soul Seizure and the Life Killer! Just like a giant tree, if you chop off all its branches and leaves, leaving only the bare trunk, not only does it lose its ability to shelter from wind and rain, but it also loses its life."
"Master used this move before?" Chu Mo asked, looking at the Demon Lord.
A trace of rembrance flashed across the Demon Lord's face. "Back in the day, I used the Eight Netherworld Blades to crawl out of a sea of corpses. Regrettably, I didn't have as good a blade as you do. Otherwise... I could have slain even more dogs!"
Chu Mo took out Heaven Slaying from his ring, gently stroking it. "Its na is Heaven Slaying!"
"Heaven Slaying? A fine blade! It suits you!" The Demon Lord, who seldom complinted Chu Mo, lavished praise at this mont. His gaze was full of admiration for Heaven Slaying, but without a shred of greed. The Demon Lord had seen far too many greedy and shaless individuals; despising such people. At the sa ti, he understood better than most how difficult it is for one to find a weapon that resonates with oneself.
The fact that Chu Mo managed to obtain Heaven Slaying was a trendous stroke of fate; the Demon Lord was only delighted for him!
"The fourth of the Eight Netherworld Blades is called Nightmare. You might only grasp a little of this blade when you reach the Spirit Realm, as it has already entered the realm of magic. It wouldn't make sense to you if I explained it now," the Demon Lord stated.
Chu Mo nodded, not pressing for further details. He believed in his master's words. To him, magic already seed like the tools of immortals. At least on the Four Symbols Continent, no one else was known to possess this kind of ability.
"The fifth blade is called Thunder Shock. It cos with a shock like thunder, and light as bright as lightning. The impact of this blade is terrifying, inducing cries from both gods and devils," the Demon Lord recalled, with mories of those who had fallen to this move. Many of them were influential figures in the Immortal Realm, with significant abilities of their own. Yet, all of them had turned into lost souls under the Thunder Shock blade.
"The sixth blade is called Purgatory," the Demon Lord said with a faint smile. "I suppose I don't need to explain what that ans to you? Once Purgatory is released, everything turns into purgatory! No matter where you are... if you use this move, that place will beco purgatory!"
"The seventh blade is titled Asura," the Demon Lord looked at Chu Mo, stating, "This blade enters the realm of divine abilities, so even your master has not grasped the essence or mysteries of this blade. Hence, I can't explain the specifics of its peculiar characteristics to you. I'll leave it to you to discover on your own in the future."
Chu Mo looked at the Demon Lord in surprise, "Even you haven't mastered it?"
The Demon Lord's face reddened before he broke into laughter and teased, "What are those eyes saying? Your master is human, not a god!"
"Cough, cough..." Chu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered, "In my eyes, my master is the strongest!"
The Demon Lord's heart ward, and he continued, "The last of the Eight Netherworld Blades is called the Slaughter Immortal. Even your master hasn't reached the stage of Asura, so obviously Slaughter Immortal is out of the question. However, before I destroyed the Netherworld Blade martial art script all those years ago, I ca across the description for this blade."
As the Demon Lord narrated, a longing gaze filled his eyes, and he murmured, "When Slaughter Immortal cos out, Heaven and Earth mourn together!"
