Heaven Slaying Blade

At this moment, from the distant sky behind, a series of thunderous roars sounded, as vast swathes of the Thunder Sea descended. This signaled that Qi Xiaoyu's ancestral realm Heavenly Tribulation was nearing its end.

The powerful being shrouded in a haze of light grew increasingly restless, desiring to charge through Chu Mo and forcibly extract Qi Xiaoyu from the tribulation.

Chu Mo remained silent, unleashing all his combat strength. Though not a match for this formidable presence, the other's attempts to break through him were futile for the time being!

The being was furious, and each strike reverberated through the heavens and the earth, making the already chaotic void even more disordered. In the end, he even struck out the river of time. Because both parties' cultivations were so advanced, this river of time appeared completely different from any Chu Mo had seen before.

This time, the river of time appeared especially clear and vivid, and even the many living beings within it were plainly visible.

There were powerful humanoid beings standing atop the waves, holding rusty bronze spears, their eyes coldly gazing towards Chu Mo. Their stance suggested they could attack at any moment.

Massive creatures rolled within the river of time, like incomparably gigantic fish. How many billions of miles in length were they? Vaguely visible, they emitted terrifying and majestic waves of force.

Regarding the river of time, almost every cultivator has their own understanding, but one point is universally acknowledged by all: any being appearing in the river of time had once truly existed!

Now, they might only be an imprint left in the river of time, but the power of that imprint is no weaker than at their peak. Therefore, when encountering the river of time, nearly any being becomes cautious and apprehensive.

But this being radiating light seemed not to care at all, focused solely on breaking through Chu Mo's blockade and charging toward Qi Xiaoyu.

Because if he didn't act now, it would be meaningless once Qi Xiaoyu completely passed the tribulation.

What he sought was the Dao fruit obtained in the process of overcoming the tribulation!

The river of time stretched out for an incredibly long distance in the already fallen void, endless to the naked eye. The number of beings within it was countless. Any random one of them emitted an aura so powerful it was shocking.

The being suffused with light roared, trying to force Chu Mo into the river of time. Once pulled inside, disappearing from this world forever was certain, and Chu Mo had seen such things before. Therefore, he gritted his teeth, resisting with all his might, refusing to approach the river of time.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe suddenly emerged from the river of time, like a mortal emperor, his eyes emitting endless cold light. Holding a seal, he struck directly at the being bathed in light.

Seeing that figure, Chu Mo shuddered all over. Although he had never seen it before, a sense of bloodline connection surged within him instantly.

Could it be the ancestor of the Imperial Clan?

Chu Mo's heart trembled slightly.

Boom!

The seal struck the glowing being, and immediately exploded.

The being's body trembled slightly, and then the light within it dimmed somewhat, finally revealing its outline.

Though his appearance remained unclear, it could be discerned that he was not human!

But a humanoid monster covered entirely in black scales!

Struck by the seal, this humanoid monster roared, swinging a palm at the middle-aged man in the dragon robe.

The figure immediately withdrew into the river of time. From beginning to end, he said not a word. Yet Chu Mo felt deeply moved; tears welled in his eyes. He longed to speak to that being, but he knew those beings would not communicate with him. Interacting would thoroughly disrupt the entire time-space continuum!

Such reckless interventions come with enormous risks!

Thus, Chu Mo could only seize the moment when the emperor attacked this humanoid being to rally all his strength again, preparing to attack the humanoid being's fierce dharma instrument.

Rumble!

At this moment, the final massive purple thunderbolt descended from the heavens, striking directly toward Qi Xiaoyu.

Only now did Qi Xiaoyu summon an ancient dharma instrument, resembling a small mirror, to withstand the enormous thunderbolt.

Bam!

The thunderbolt struck directly on the ancient dharma instrument like a small mirror, causing the artifact to sink downward by tens of millions of miles, yet it halted just a few hundred miles above Qi Xiaoyu's head...

From a distance, it seemed as if the lightning had already struck Qi Xiaoyu. Yiyi was greatly frightened, and the giant eagle patted its chest with its wings, then looked in Chu Mo's direction. The giant eagle thought to itself: This human... to withstand even Supreme beings, he truly is overwhelmingly powerful.

The divine script armor worn by Chu Mo shimmered with starlight, illuminating the chaotic sky. Within his body, that grand star force, even faced with this Supreme being, could not be subdued immediately.

The river of time grew ever clearer, and the vast and boundless firmament seemed to be affected by the river of time, starting to undergo some anomalies.

Even some originally weak beings occasionally touched by the leaked power from the river of time would suddenly become stronger.

Boom!

The last gigantic heavenly lightning vanished like smoke dissipating into clouds.

Above the high heavens, various powerful anomalies appeared, dancing gracefully around Qi Xiaoyu's body.

Qi Xiaoyu finally passed through the heavenly tribulation of the ancestral realm and successfully stepped into the ancestral realm!

At this time, the non-human creature covered in black scales glanced coldly at Chu Mo, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Buzz!

The river of time disappeared instantly.

Inside it, a creature tried to climb out, and at the moment the river of time vanished, that creature was crushed directly...

The whole sky remained chaotic, and Chu Mo stood there silently without moving for a long time.

Until the powerful laws of Heaven and Earth calmed the chaotic void, and until Qi Xiaoyu hurried over, Chu Mo's body slightly moved, and the divine text battle armor on him instantly transformed into countless divine texts and flew back into his elixir field.

Then, Chu Mo suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

A spiritual entity of the Supreme realm is terrifying beyond measure, truly not comparable to Supreme realm cultivators!

If it wasn't for protecting Qi Xiaoyu, Chu Mo would never have confronted such an entity head-on. Upon encounter, he would retreat as far as possible.

"Husband... are you alright?" Qi Xiaoyu's body emitted the fluctuations of the ancestral realm, momentarily difficult to contain. Her face didn't show much joy but was full of worry. Although she was focused on crossing the tribulation, she was very aware of what had just happened nearby.

Even though there's no need for polite language to express gratitude between husband and wife, Qi Xiaoyu felt a deep warmth in her heart.

"Don't worry." Chu Mo glanced at Qi Xiaoyu and shook his head slightly.

At this moment, Yiyi and the blue giant hawk finally arrived.

The blue giant hawk looked at Chu Mo in shock, saying, "You actually managed to drive away Master Wulong Mountain... truly unbelievable!"

"Master Wulong Mountain?" Chu Mo raised his eyebrow slightly.

"It's a creature said to exist in legends, the overlord of this era. All this time, I thought it was just a legend, but unexpectedly, it really exists and is so powerful. If it weren't for you, she would have been in danger today." The blue giant hawk looked at Qi Xiaoyu and exclaimed.

"It is indeed very powerful." Chu Mo took a deep breath and said. Although the broken bones and injuries in his body were under control, to truly be fully healed was not easy. But Chu Mo did not intend to say these things, to avoid worrying the two women.

"Why did it act at that time? Was it not afraid of being entangled in the heavenly tribulation? And why did it leave right after the heavenly tribulation ended? What was it trying to do?" Yiyi asked curiously.

"According to legend, Master Wulong Mountain was born from the essence of Heaven and Earth, feeding on various energies from its birth. It most enjoys feeding on beings undergoing tribulation, devouring them to obtain all their Tao and power. As for the heavenly tribulation, it should not be afraid of it." The blue giant hawk explained, gazing at Chu Mo: "But unexpectedly, you are also unafraid of the heavenly tribulation! The power of such tribulation, whoever it touches, has no good outcome."

"So, its target is only the beings undergoing tribulation; once a being fortunately succeeds, it almost never acts again?" Yiyi asked.

"The information from my inherited memories is exactly that. But today is the first time I have seen such a creature; it is too terrifying." The blue giant hawk lamented, also feeling thankful that it did not encounter this creature when it was undergoing tribulation itself.

"If that's truly the case, then good. Just worried it might continue to linger and haunt us." Qi Xiaoyu said softly.

"Don't worry; I won't go through the tribulation in the near term." Yiyi was somewhat scared. She didn't want such an event to replay. If Chu Mo were to encounter any accident, they would regret it beyond measure.

"Let's leave here first." Chu Mo said thoughtfully, looking in the direction where Master Wulong Mountain had departed.

This entity seems even more terrifying than the blue giant hawk described. After all, it is a spiritual entity of the Supreme realm; if not initially fooled somewhat by Chu Mo, it would not have been so easy to make it leave.

When it left, it seemed to be totally unresentful, simply disappearing swiftly. Chu Mo was very concerned that this matter might not be over. Therefore, he intended to leave here as soon as possible.

In the following years, it remained peaceful, with nothing happening, not even a single ancestral realm creature showing itself. Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Feeling perhaps that they might have left the territory of Master Wulong Mountain, though still slightly fearful.

And at this time, Yiyi finally reached the critical point of her imminent breakthrough. She could no longer delay further.
