Heaven Slaying Blade

At this moment, the Investiture of the Gods and the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods which were originally on Spiritual Master Lingtong appeared simultaneously, unleashing two incredibly powerful forces directly aiming to strike Chu Mo!

They were actually trying to stop Chu Mo from severing Spiritual Master Lingtong's Shen Ge!

Clang!

Heaven Slaying emitted a sound of contention, a wave of incomparable anger erupted from Heaven Slaying.

Then, a red light appeared!

The Investiture of the Gods broke, and the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods shattered!

At this moment, in many places within the Tunnel, some beings of the ancestral realm suddenly let out a scream, clutching their heads, the sudden pain making them feel as if they were going to die.

However, the pain lasted only for a brief instant, and after it passed, they suddenly felt their bodies lighten considerably, as if some shackles had been broken!

"What happened?"

"What occurred?"

"The Shen Ge is still there, but that kind of constraint seems to have disappeared..."

These beings were extremely shocked but couldn't figure out what had happened.

Inside the small world.

The Investiture of the Gods, broken in half, still emitted a terrifying aura, seemingly wanting to rejoin together. But under Heaven Slaying's consecutive strikes, it shattered into countless pieces!

Finally, it was directly refined by a true fire bursting from Chu Mo's body!

The shattered Edict of the Investiture of the Gods was also directly absorbed by Heaven Slaying!

And at this moment, Chu Mo's blade had already struck into Spiritual Master Lingtong's forehead, directly hitting the Shen Ge there.

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed, and the Shen Ge first split open with a faint crack.

A look of pain appeared on Spiritual Master Lingtong's face, but his entire being showed no excessive reaction.

Then...

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

A series of crisp sounds echoed from within Spiritual Master Lingtong's spiritual sea.

Then, the piece of Shen Ge... shattered directly!

It turned into countless fragments, rushing instantaneously towards the vast spiritual sea of Spiritual Master Lingtong, each fragment as if aware of an imminent crisis, wanting to hide!

At this time, the knife in Chu Mo's hand, formed by the beheading path, appeared to slash a million times in an instant!

Each strike aimed towards Spiritual Master Lingtong's head, yet the incredibly real knife caused no physical harm to Spiritual Master Lingtong's head.

Its peerless destructive power lay within his spiritual sea only...

What it slashed were those shattered Shen Ge pieces!

When the fragmentation reached a certain extent, the knife formed by the beheading path began to plunder and absorb those Shen Ge pieces!

Outside, at Xiushui Villa.

Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi waited anxiously there. Both felt somewhat uneasy, even blaming the hurried decision-making process of these two, leaving no time for response.

But upon reflection, such matters aren't trifling for Chu Mo and Spiritual Master Lingtong. No matter how much they deliberated, no matter how much they planned, ultimately… the result would be the same.

The blue giant eagle and other beings who decided to follow Chu Mo on the journey all gathered at Xiushui Villa, curious about this unfamiliar place.

Similarly, the people within Xiushui Villa were curious about these external beings, but they quickly accepted each other. If it were the Human Clan outside, they might be more guarded against each other at such times.

Inside the small world, the pain on Spiritual Master Lingtong's face became increasingly evident.

His Shen Ge was deeply rooted, formed over an immeasurable age.

Although a new Shen Ge is born with each reincarnation, this life of Spiritual Master Lingtong had already surpassed countless years.

His realm was simply too high!

Even with various means to deceive his Shen Ge, its strength completely surpassed that of other beings of the ancestral realm.

Chu Mo's complexion also began to turn somewhat pale; his expenditure was immense!

Top-tier elixirs poured into his mouth as if they cost nothing, various elixirs previously refined were also consumed in large quantities, yet still unable to keep up with this rate of consumption.

Fortunately, within his body, there were those seven stars, and the small sapling, which at crucial moments continued to provide Chu Mo with maximum support.

Seeing Chu Mo's complexion switch from white to red, then back to white, amidst the entire process, within the silent small world, there was not a single sound.

This scene looked so bizarre.

A multitude of dharma instruments hung high in various places, suppressing the qi movement of the entire small world.

A white-haired youth swung his incredibly sharp sword at an old man who exuded an aura of immortality and elegance, hacking fiercely at him tens of thousands of times in mere moments!

The entire process continued without stopping, and Chu Mo's energy consumption became increasingly significant.

In the end, Chu Mo finally felt boundless fatigue and weariness. However, the spirit fragments within Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine sense sea were also dwindling!

Phew!

Chu Mo actively initiated the Heaven's Will My Will mental technique and began absorbing large quantities of essence energy from this small world. This was something he had already prepared for.

Spiritual Master Lingtong had left behind an unimaginable amount of essence energy in this small world. As Chu Mo's mental technique continued to operate, all the essence energy swarmed toward Chu Mo.

The spirit fragments within Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine sense sea were finally completely beheaded!

Even the extremely tiny ones were absorbed into the sword formed by the beheading path.

At the moment everything ended, Chu Mo sat on the ground unsparingly and exhaustedly, utterly depleted, not wanting to move at all!

Spiritual Master Lingtong stood quietly, seemingly sensing something. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. Within his eyes was an endless radiance that was incredibly dazzling. He looked at Chu Mo, who was sitting limply on the ground, and the radiance in his eyes gradually receded, eventually transforming into a gentle warmth.

"Child, thank you." He said.

"It's what I should do." Chu Mo nodded.

"Well, you are already very tired, just rest well here." Spiritual Master Lingtong said, gently waving his hand, and the dharma instruments in the void disappeared instantly. Then, his figure also vanished.

Chu Mo frowned slightly, sensing that something was off, and suddenly stood up to leave this small world.

At that moment, a buzzing sound erupted, and countless arrays in the entire small world instantly lit up!

Roughly estimated, there were a million of them!

All the arrays overlapped, and the endless pressure they emitted directly suppressed Chu Mo there, making even a single movement... incredibly difficult!

Chu Mo was stunned, shouting angrily: "What do you mean by this?"

The divine sense wave of Spiritual Master Lingtong slowly came: "Your ability is too defiant against nature, and if it appears in the world, it will inevitably lead to endless pursuit. Child, I am doing this for your own good! The task you need to do, I will certainly help you complete it. Later, I will bring those people to you, and you will help them behead their spirit fragments. I will shield you from other storms!"

"Spiritual Master Lingtong, you repay kindness with enmity!" Chu Mo said coldly.

"Child, many things are not as simple as you think. I have no malice, you misunderstood." Spiritual Master Lingtong's voice was still gentle.

"Misunderstood?" Chu Mo sneered, by now entirely calm, showing a mocking smile. He thought, "How foolish I was, someone who could lay down such a vast scheme, plotting for ten thousand ages to do one thing, how could they be truly benevolent?"

"Yes, it is a misunderstanding." Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine sense wave continued to come.

"Don't harm Xiaoyu and Yiyi." Chu Mo sighed.

"They are my daughters, why would I harm them?" Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine sense wave came: "Whether you believe it or not, I have not lied to you, everything I told you is true. With your personality, if you are allowed to leave, it won't be long before the entire Tunnel knows about your abilities. At that time, all ancient clans will start hunting you. Wouldn't my two daughters be destined to be widowed in the future? So child, quietly stay here and calmly cultivate! This small world has endless essence energy to aid your cultivation. Perhaps it will be lonely, but it will... be greatly beneficial to you!"

Chu Mo, by this time, had also completely calmed down. Whether Spiritual Master Lingtong was benevolent or malicious, the fact that he restricted his freedom was a cold, hard fact that cannot be disputed.

Chu Mo slightly closed his eyes; Spiritual Master Lingtong's actions clarified the malice of this world even more. He suddenly recalled what Spiritual Master Lingtong had once said about the Buddha.

"Perhaps, he is deliberately avoiding me?"

Avoiding you for what reason? Would the Buddha be afraid of you? The so-called avoidance... is simply unwilling to meet you?

Chu Mo sighed lightly.

All beings suffer? It's all self-inflicted.

Outside.

Xiushui Villa.

At the moment Spiritual Master Lingtong's figure appeared, Heaven and Earth shook!

This level of existence, once free from the shackles of spirit fragments, exudes an aura that is absolutely world-shattering.

Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi rushed over with excitement, but they only saw Spiritual Master Lingtong, and their complexions immediately turned pale.

Qi Xiaoyu asked: "Where's Chu Mo?"

Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at the two women: "Don't you two want to congratulate father first on completely breaking free from the control of spirit fragments?"

"Where's my husband?" Shui Yiyi's complexion had already turned cold, she asked angrily.

Spiritual Master Lingtong's joyful expression also receded, saying lightly: "In your hearts, your husband is above everything, isn't he?"

Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi nodded in unison, appearing very coordinated.

"Good, very good, since you desire to see him so much, I will send you to meet him." Spiritual Master Lingtong said, with a casual wave of his hand, Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi's figures disappeared instantly in the void.

"As well as these beasts and birds." Spiritual Master Lingtong said, sending those non-human creatures that followed Chu Mo into the small world as well.

After finishing all of this, Spiritual Master Lingtong's eyes began to evolve into a vast, infinite universe.

"An overwhelming force that suppresses all ancient clans will begin from me." He said, and his figure transformed into a white-haired youth, vividly resembling Chu Mo, even the aura around him was almost identical!
