Heaven Slaying Blade

Dongfang Sheng waved his hand: "Go quickly!"

Dongfang Wang's eyes were moist, and with red-rimmed eyes, he left. He had never seen such a heavy, almost uncontainable, sense of defeat emanating from his father.

From a young age, the person he admired the most was his father.

All along, Dongfang Sheng was a god-like figure in the entire Ancient Dongfang Clan.

High-spirited, commanding with ease, unflinching in the face of collapsing mountains...

Just a mere Young Master Chu, even if he bore the title of unparalleled and world-renowned tens of epochs ago, is he still so terrifying upon his reappearance? Still unparalleled?

Dongfang Wang found it hard to imagine, what means unparalleled… what means unmatched? He also struggled to understand why the dignified Ancient Dongfang Clan, with more than one Supreme Ancestor, would fear such a young man?

Is he really that frightening?

In truth, he really did not want to go to the battlefield now. It wasn't fear; he wanted to stay with his father and face the challenges shoulder to shoulder. No matter what difficulties lay ahead, he was fearless.

But he couldn't disobey his father's orders, nor could he force his father to reveal the secret that only the family head had the right to know.

Therefore, he could only suppress all thoughts in his heart and, with one hundred thousand elite soldiers, leave the Dongfang Family.

On the night Dongfang Wang left, the family head, Dongfang Sheng, visited the retreat of two Supreme Ancestors within the Ancient Dongfang Clan. He stayed a long time with one of the Supreme Ancestors and spent some time with the other one as well.

Days later, one of the Supreme Ancestors from the Ancient Dongfang Clan directly emerged. This Supreme Ancestor, named Dongfang Yunluo, had not left seclusion in several epochs.

After emerging, he first visited the ruins of the Chu Clan royal family, circled around there but did not enter. Then, he directly moved away.

Chu Mo stood at the entrance of the dilapidated ancient hall, his gaze icy as he watched that Supreme being depart. The other party, however, did not notice his presence!

When Chu Mo brought people in that day, he also could not detect the presence of the old yellow dog and the old servant here. It was from that time he knew that there absolutely existed a shocking array at this Chu Clan royal heritage site. With the awakening of his memory, he understood everything.

This resulted in the coldness and assertiveness he displayed facing Dongfang Wang later on.

The awakened memories, together with the notes the old servant handed him, informed him of far too many things!

In the awakened memory, Chu Mo learned how to activate the ancestral array of the Chu Clan royal family!

This array was left by an ancestor of the Chu Clan royal family long ago, but none among the descendants understood how to operate it. In the previous life, Young Master Chu, an extraordinary and gifted individual, found the method to activate the array and the means to operate it.

Yet, he hadn't the chance to inform the family before a disaster struck, coupled with the sudden downfall of the Chu Clan royal family. As a result, that array, which had existed through ten thousand ages, though possessing boundless power, never had the opportunity to unleash its potential, and the Chu Clan royal family fell.

It's a very tragic affair; nobody could truly have a flawless plan.

On the way back, Chu Mo's strong confidence partly stemmed from a promise by two entities, and partly from a voice from the depths of his soul.

That voice urged him to return home, making him understand that home was the safest place!

After the memory awakened, Chu Mo instantly understood.

The notes left to him by the old servant recorded other things.

Those matters were the fundamental reason for his firm stance against the Dongfang Family.

The notes detailed all… the enemies of the Chu Clan royal family!

Those were intelligence gathered bit by bit over tens of epochs by the old servant, accompanied by the yellow dog. Clearly documented were which of the ancient clans had ancestors who were once subordinates of the ancestor of the Chu Clan royal family, what role those ancient clans played in the downfall of the Chu Clan royal family, and even recorded how the daughters of the Chu Clan royal family, married off to those ancient clans, were living after the royal family perished.

After reading through these notes, Chu Mo's heart had long since grown cold.

Enemies everywhere!

No matter what he did, the path he was destined to walk in the end was just this way.

There was no choice; this was the fate bequeathed to him by his ancestors, his responsibility!

In the previous life, he chose to escape, like a coward, employing various means to rush to reincarnation before the crisis arrived, assuming that by doing so, he could save the entire Chu Clan royal family from becoming implicated by him.

But he was wrong, absurdly wrong!

If he hadn't chosen reincarnation in his previous life, with his abilities combined with the strength of the Chu Clan royal family, perhaps there was still a chance. Although the Chu Clan royal family might still not have escaped the peril of destruction, at least the ancient clans would certainly have paid a heavy price!

In this world, there is no 'if'. Even with his prodigious talent, he couldn't traverse the river of time to change what had already occurred.

What is past is past and will never happen again.

So in this lifetime, he won't escape anymore; whatever he ought to face, he will confront. No matter how difficult, he will face those challenges head-on!

As the Chu Clan royal family fell, he intended to make it rise again!

Rebuilding upon this ruin may seem like a beautiful dream to everyone else.

But Chu Mo knew it wasn't.

In the Tunnel, the Supreme Ancestors once again... sat together. For the third time due to matters concerning the Chu Clan royal family, they gathered to discuss strategies.

"Young Master Chu has returned," Dongfang Yunluo said in a cold, chilling voice. It was one of his avatars sitting here, towering and vast, his being emanating immeasurable light.

This was a very special space, appearing like a small world, but in reality, those present here were not the true bodies of these Supreme Ancestors.

There were thirteen figures sitting here in total. They were from the thirteen ancient clans in the Tunnel.

"Kill." A Supreme Ancient Ancestor said coolly.

"Who will go to kill?" Another Supreme Ancient Ancestor asked.

"We'll all go together." Someone suggested.

"Yes, let's go together."

"Since we all decided to do this together back then, now, no one can escape this matter."

"Young Master Chu has reappeared in the world and dared to return to the ruins of the Chu Clan royal family to rebuild. This means he must already know everything. You all understand very well that no tale of great ancestors can deceive him." Dongfang Yunluo said slowly, "This matter primarily concerns our Ancient Dongfang Clan, but I think his intentions are not solely focused on the Dongfang Clan alone."

"We understand." An ancient ancestor slowly spoke.

"So, there's nothing left to say, let's join forces and kill him again!"

"It's not exactly 'again,' last time, we failed to kill him."

"Even when he was the leader, he was struck by divine punishment..." An ancient ancestor said quietly, "He's not easy to kill."

"But we still need to kill him! Otherwise, the Tunnel will be thrown into chaos by him!"

"Yes, he must be killed!"

"Alright, since we're all in agreement..." Dongfang Yunluo said solemnly, suddenly he froze.

All the Supreme ancient ancestors here also froze.

They are all the supreme beings of this world, and their ability to sense energy is unmatched!

At this moment, they all suddenly felt that in this space, something else seems to have appeared!

At this point, a voice of the Buddha: "Amitabha."

A voice of the Dao: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."

Both sounds rang out simultaneously.

Then, the entire space fell into complete silence!

Not a single sound could be heard!

The overwhelming pressure was almost suffocating for the thirteen Supreme ancient ancestors present.

Instantly, they knew who had arrived. But they found it difficult to believe that those two could find this place, even more unbelievable was that those two would intervene in this matter?

Back when the Chu Clan royal family was annihilated, neither of those two stepped forward to say a word!

What is going on?

A voice filled with compassion slowly sounded: "Right and wrong."

A voice filled with authority slowly sounded: "Good and evil."

The compassionate voice said: "Heavenly Dao."

The authoritative voice said: "Cause and effect."

The compassionate voice chanted a Buddhist mantra: "Amitabha, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and reach the shore."

The authoritative voice chanted a Daoist mantra: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, harbor killing intent, fall forever into the abyss."

After that, the compassionate power vanished, and the authoritative power... also vanished.

The entire mysterious space became extraordinarily silent!

Thirteen Supreme ancient ancestors of the Tunnel stood there, frozen. They've lived for endless ages, they've experienced countless reincarnations!

They have survived from the Primordial Chaos to become the supreme beings of today!

They had never been threatened so simply and directly by anyone!

What did it mean?

What is right and wrong, good and evil, Heavenly Dao, cause and effect, the sea of suffering, turn back, harboring killing intent, endless abyss?

All these together essentially say one thing: Dare to harm Young Master Chu, and you will all die! You won't even have the chance for reincarnation!

Unknown how much time passed, perhaps just a moment, perhaps as long as a reincarnation. Finally, one ancient ancestor uttered an icy voice: "Are the two of them threatening us?"

"Clearly, yes." said another ancient ancestor.

"Why do they dare?" The third Supreme ancient ancestor's voice was filled with endless anger. The entire space echoed with his furious voice.

"Because if they leave, the Tunnel will collapse." said the fourth Supreme ancient ancestor.

Afterward, there was again a long silence.

Under the radiance of the Supreme ancient ancestor Dongfang Yunluo of the Dongfang Clan, his face was as ugly as it could be.

These masters, representing the supreme will of the entire Tunnel world, were simply and straightforwardly threatened by two beings of the same realm!

What's frustrating is that they... dare not resist!

Yes, at their level, what can be done, and what cannot be done, they don't need anyone to teach them, they understand better than any living being!

They've been threatened, bullied, but they can't resist, and dare not resist.
