Heaven Slaying Blade

The child accompanying her let out a wail, and a beam of light shot directly from its eye toward the One-eyed Great Saint who had snatched its mother.

"Heh heh..." The Great Saint-level One-eyed being's eye also emitted a beam of light, instantly obliterating the child's attack and turning the young One-eyed child into a pile of debris without hesitation!

The female One-eyed being let out a heart-wrenching cry, but the passing One-eyed clan members remained indifferent, their faces cold and emotionless, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, the female One-eyed being saw Chu Mo approaching and, with her solitary eye, revealed an expression of desperate plea: "Help me..."

The face Chu Mo had disguised as a One-eyed clan member showed no expression, but an involuntary pang echoed within his heart. Regardless of the species, as long as they were intelligent beings, they possessed emotions in the end. Yet, a trace of hesitation lingered in Chu Mo's heart.

Just as this thought arose, an attack shot toward Chu Mo without warning!

The one who struck was none other than the Great Saint-level One-eyed being holding the female One-eyed clan member hostage.

Chu Mo swiftly sidestepped, allowing the attack to land beside him, striking a nearby building. A faint halo spread from the structure, and the attack dissolved into nothingness. Every building in this city was protected by powerful arrays.

Otherwise, the attack earlier from that being would have been enough to sink the entire city.

Soon, a cold voice from the One-eyed being reached Chu Mo's ears: "Leave!"

Chu Mo raised his head to look at the One-eyed being. His current appearance was that of an ugly One-eyed creature as well. From his protruding single eye, a dazzling beam of light shot forth. At his level, mimicking a One-eyed clan member's attack was an effortless matter.

BOOM!

The beam of light struck the Great Saint-level One-eyed being's head.

It attempted to dodge, but it was utterly incapable of evading Chu Mo's attack.

With a thunderous bang, half of the Great Saint-level One-eyed being's head was blasted apart. It collapsed to the ground and died instantly.

On the ancient streets, a crowd of One-eyed creatures stood in stunned silence, staring at Chu Mo.

Although killing was commonplace here, very few dared to attack a One-eyed being from a group backed by an ancestral realm powerhouse.

As expected, Chu Mo's single strike was akin to stirring up a hornet's nest. At least ten vicious One-eyed creatures from the group erupted in fury, charging toward him with savage intent.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the female One-eyed being fled, but no one paid her any attention.

Ten beams of light rained down on Chu Mo, forcing the other One-eyed beings on the streets to scatter, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Chu Mo's figure darted left and right, deftly dodging as he launched counterattacks. Beam after beam shot toward the attacking One-eyed creatures.

Though Chu Mo only utilized one type of offensive technique, his methods were ruthlessly sharp, and his realm was vastly superior to these creatures. In mere moments, the group attacking him either lay dead or gravely injured—none emerged unscathed.

Many One-eyed beings watching the commotion from afar were left dumbfounded. They had never seen such a fiercely powerful comrade. He was utterly overwhelming.

Typically, a One-eyed being as strong as this would have an entourage of followers surrounding them.

Yet, here was Chu Mo, alone, strolling through the streets, unleashing devastating attacks without hesitation and displaying unparalleled strength.

From start to finish, the One-eyed clan member exuding ancestral realm energy in the war chariot had not made a move nor launched an attack against Chu Mo. Instead, it watched with its solitary eye, an amused expression visible.

When its group of followers suffered casualties numbering over ten, it finally clapped its hands lightly, its ghastly face breaking into a smile: "Not bad! Well done with the killing!"

Chu Mo froze for a moment. The creature was using mental communication.

In truth, for beings at the Supreme level and above, communication between different species or even the same species was nearly always conducted through mental transmissions. This method was far faster than spoken words—countless times faster.

Chu Mo stared back at the solitary eye, locking gazes with the creature. To many One-eyed beings observing, Chu Mo's behavior was nothing short of defiant—like a direct provocation.

"How dare he look at General Meng Na like this..."

"Judging from his skills, he seems quite powerful. He probably isn't too afraid of General Meng Na, right?"

"Nonsense! In this city, how many would dare provoke General Meng Na?"

On the streets, numerous One-eyed beings secretly exchanged mental transmissions, their excitement growing as they watched Chu Mo. They were eager to see how General Meng Na would deal with this audacious figure.

"These worthless followers can't handle a single enemy and are a disgrace to me. Young warrior, I have high hopes for you. Follow me, become my subordinate!" The ancestral realm One-eyed being in the war chariot extended a public mental transmission, extending an offer to recruit Chu Mo.

This scene left many One-eyed beings brimming with envy. Being recruited by General Meng Na ensured a prosperous future filled with immeasurable opportunities!

Chu Mo didn't immediately accept but released a cold mental transmission: "What benefit will I gain by following you?"

General Meng Na burst into hearty laughter, its mental transmission brimming with mirth: "Resources! Endless cultivation resources! Whatever you desire, this General will provide!"

"I want to go to the Tunnel." Without hesitation, Chu Mo released his mental transmission.

He had already discerned that these One-eyed beings were cruel, bloodthirsty, coldhearted, and cunning. Yet, some exhibited a blunt, unfiltered nature. This ancestral realm creature before him was direct to the extreme, openly revealing its intentions without pretense—simply wanting Chu Mo as its subordinate.

Catering to its interests was the simplest way to gain favor.

General Meng Na paused briefly, staring at Chu Mo: "Young warrior, why would you want to go to a place like that?"

Chu Mo remained silent, offering no response.

Intrigued, General Meng Na scrutinized Chu Mo with its solitary eye, astonished internally. Where had such a powerful One-eyed being emerged from?

The One-eyed tribe was vast in number and reproduced rapidly. Typically, masses of them could proliferate within a few years. When their resources ran dry, they would either expand their territory through warfare or dispatch massive armies into the Tunnel, motivated solely by killing and plundering.

The beings of Gray Land who ventured into the Tunnel had one singular aim: acquiring resources while wreaking havoc. Though they envied the Tunnel's vastly superior environment compared to Gray Land, they could not remain there permanently.

This was because the forces within the Tunnel were beyond their ability to contend with.

Many years ago, Gray Land's major factions united in a joint effort to conquer the Tunnel entirely. Only ancestral realm creatures were capable of crossing over, and the resulting battle was catastrophic. The Tunnel suffered severe losses, but Gray Land… was decimated even further!

Nearly the entire army was wiped out!

Less than one in ten thousand Gray Land beings managed to survive and return!

As a result, the majority of Gray Land beings spoke of the Tunnel with dread. Beings like Chu Mo, proactively seeking entry into the Tunnel, were exceedingly rare.

"Fine, I promise you. Next time we wage war, I'll bring you along!" General Meng Na hesitated briefly before agreeing.

It found no flaws in Chu Mo's disguise, nor did it detect that the One-eyed person before it was a fake. Before each invasion of the Tunnel, a mass mobilization would occur, rallying beings of higher realms to join the battle. Those who returned alive, bearing resources, were generally beings of higher realms!

To General Meng Na, having someone like Chu Mo willingly request access to the Tunnel was a fortunate turn of events. It didn't fear any trickery—there was no being in this city capable of gaining the upper hand against General Meng Na.

However, the One-eyed followers beside General Meng Na glared venomously at Chu Mo. Their animosity wasn't due to Chu Mo killing their companions—they couldn't care less about that. Instead, it stemmed from the apparent favor General Meng Na showed toward Chu Mo. This stirred their dissatisfaction!

Chu Mo remained aloof, ignoring the other One-eyed creatures entirely. His unyielding demeanor only pleased General Meng Na further. After all, recruiting a being of colossal power for its own cause but lousy with relationships would put General Meng Na at ease.

And thus, Chu Mo followed General Meng Na back to its residence.

True to its word, General Meng Na treated Chu Mo with importance, immediately assigning him a sprawling estate. Within the estate, over a hundred so-called One-eyed beauties awaited him at all times.

Faced with General Meng Na's gesture, Chu Mo could only acknowledge it without genuine interest. The One-eyed women didn't even warrant a second glance from him.

Over the next few days, Chu Mo gradually uncovered certain truths.

This city was one among a hundred major cities under the One-eyed clan's domain. The City Lord was an ancestral realm peak-level presence. Chu Mo had caught sight of this figure from afar while accompanying General Meng Na. Judging by the aura emanating from the City Lord, Chu Mo doubted whether he could secure victory against it.

General Meng Na had also warned Chu Mo to tread cautiously around the City Lord and avoid provoking it, lest his demise be a brutal affair.

As for General Meng Na, it ranked third or fourth in the city's hierarchy. It was, without a doubt, a figure of considerable influence—a powerhouse who had invaded the Tunnel three times and achieved stellar battlefield accomplishments.

The overall leader of the One-eyed tribe, known as the One-eyed Great Venerable, was undeniably the strongest among them.

As General Meng Na claimed, "A single thought from the One-eyed Great Venerable could obliterate me a hundred times over!"

Clearly, this being was an unbeatable force at the Supreme level!

Chu Mo naturally chose to steer clear of such entities, refraining from provoking them.

The remaining four colossal leaders—Three-leaf Heavenly Venerable, Crimson Snake Old Immortal, Blood River Great Venerable, and Bigfoot Evil Venerable—were also Supreme-level beings.

Within Gray Land, they were supreme lords, unrivaled and unchallenged.
