Chapter 1682: Chu Bai
Mystic Venerate and Bailing, these two Supreme Ancient Patriarchs, in infinite pain and extreme terror, could still clearly see the expression of horror in the eyes of the Star Sovereign as his head flew up.
Betrayed!
This was almost the only thought in the deepest hearts of Mystic Venerate and Bailing, these two ancient patriarchs.
"Go..."
Mystic Venerate and Bailing, these two Supreme Ancient Patriarchs, turned to leave without any hesitation.
The Star Sovereign had already suffered catastrophe, this was beyond doubt!
The Supreme Wuji was indeed insidious, only making a move at the very last moment, which caused great hatred in the hearts of Mystic Venerate and Bailing. But they did not dare to stay here; they had to pass this news on, to let everyone know what had happened.
Xu Tianxiao's information was wrong!
Yes, not false, but wrong!
They could even imagine that Xu Tianxiao must have already suffered a catastrophe. Moreover, just like them, he was betrayed by the Supreme Wuji at the last moment!
At this moment, Mystic Venerate and Bailing couldn't even imagine that the Star Sovereign's calamity had nothing to do with the Supreme Wuji!
It was entirely because of Chu Mo's dao, which completely restrained the Star Sovereign's dao. Even without the intervention of the Supreme Wuji, the Star Sovereign was no match for Chu Mo.
However, knowing or not knowing now makes no difference.
Because Chu Mo had already come to kill!
Because the dao title of the Supreme Wuji still exploded in the spiritual seas of Mystic Venerate and Bailing!
"Immeasurable Heaven Honor!"
"Immeasurable Heaven Honor!"
Mystic Venerate and Bailing were almost going mad; for ten thousand ages, they had never suffered such a loss.
With their dao cultivation, accomplishments, knowledge, and terrifyingly unparalleled calculation abilities, they couldn't deduce the reasons why the Supreme Wuji and the Immeasurable Buddha would attack them.
They simply couldn't understand!
"Why?" The Ancient Patriarch Bailing couldn't help but roar in anger, "Even if you became dao before us countless ages before, you can't bully us like this!"
"Immeasurable Heaven Honor!"
The only response to her was a dao title, devoid of any emotion but carrying endless pressure!
Ah! Puff!
The Ancient Patriarch Bailing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, most of it due to anger.
At this moment, a strange, cold, blood-red blade light suddenly flashed bright on the other side!
Mystic Venerate, one of the dominators of the Tunnel World, his head flew directly into the sky.
Bailing was going crazy!
Another ancient patriarch had been ambushed!
The wild roar of Mystic Venerate echoed, shaking the entire heavens!
This was too terrifying, making one feel chilled to the bone. Yet this region was completely sealed by the three ancient patriarchs. Thus, no one except them knew what actually happened here.
It was too awful!
It was as if they had dug an enormous pit for themselves and buried themselves in it.
Is there anything more heart-wrenching in this world?
At this moment, the Ancient Patriarch Bailing was like a madwoman, constantly teleporting to the endless distance... She questioned her own speed for the first time in her life. Why is it so slow?
In fact, the entire canopy of the universe was continually receding behind her!
Her speed had already reached its peak, the utmost speed that could be achieved by an ancient patriarch at the Supreme realm...
She was terrified, more than she had ever been before.
She finally felt how terrifying the threat of death was.
She even felt an immense dizziness, as if the entire world in her eyes... become so unreal.
Before deciding to ambush Chu Mo, the Ancient Patriarch Bailing never considered that the outcome would be like this. She regretted it, deeply regretted it, her intestines turning green from the regret!
Suddenly, she sensed a shadow looming ahead!
A huge shadow!
She couldn't even confirm what the shadow was, and she couldn't help but let out a shrill scream: "No! Don't kill me!"
Bloody light surged.
Strange, enchanting, eerie, with endless killing intent!
The primordial spirit of the Ancient Patriarch Bailing was already severely injured, the kind of wound that dropped her combat power to less than three-tenths of usual.
At the critical moment, she still summoned all the dharma instruments she had, making a desperate struggle.
Clang!
Dang!
Boom!
A series of loud crashes, all the dharma instruments she summoned shattered in an instant!
Then, that crimson blade light directly slashed toward her head.
Without a moment's hesitation, and not a shred of mercy.
Decisive, direct, cruel, and cold!
Crack!
The head of the Ancient Patriarch Bailing was severed instantly.
In that instant, Ancient Patriarch Bailing suddenly felt: the body she had refined for ten thousand ages, once thought to be indestructible, was actually so fragile. Fragile to the point of being vulnerable to a single blow!
"Ah!" Ancient Patriarch Bailing let out an ear-piercing scream, a scream filled with resentment that shook the large expanse of cosmic void to collapse.
But this couldn't stop her calamity.
Spurt!
Chu Mo, at this moment, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Although his injuries and strength were instantly restored by the boundless power of the stars, the wounds from the Dao hadn't completely healed all at once.
Slaying three Supreme Ancient Patriarchs in succession was a tremendous challenge for him.
After all, for the first Star Dao Sovereign, he didn't rely on the help of Supreme Wuji, but instead killed him purely with his own strength.
Yet the exhilaration in Chu Mo's chest was unparalleled.
This feeling was truly amazing!
The three heads were directly sealed away by him and tossed into the world of the Celestial Mirror.
Then, Chu Mo sat cross-legged atop this high sky, beginning to run Heaven's Will and My Will, to recover.
The seals set by the three Ancient Patriarchs were still present, and now, this piece of heaven and earth was like an independent small world. This was precisely to Chu Mo's liking. He could cultivate in peace here for some time.
This battle held incalculable significance for Chu Mo's growth.
Chu Mo's combat power and combat experience were beyond doubt. Though he hadn't been cultivating for a long time, his combat experience seemed innate. And it has always accompanied him throughout his growth.
This battle today gave Chu Mo more robust courage and confidence when facing the Supreme Ancient Patriarchs.
Three months later, Chu Mo emerged from here, broke through the seals left by the three Ancient Patriarchs, and continued onward toward the territory of the Ancient God Family.
The entire Tunnel world remained in turmoil.
The battle of the Gray Land's creatures was relentless; their numbers were too vast to be completely annihilated. The elite alliance seized every opportunity to continually grow stronger; the ancient clans with enmities toward the Chu Royal Family were engaged in tense arrangements, but they couldn't hide their decline and were unable to prevent a large number of their members from leaving; even the forces outside the thirteen ancient clans in the Tunnel had begun to take action, seeking to elevate their own families.
It was not an exaggeration to describe this world as thrown into great chaos.
However, at this time, a not-so-small incident occurred in the Tunnel world.
One of the thirteen ancient clans, the Ancient Chu Clan, had opened an ancient battlefield in the Western Imperial Universe. Then, directly from that universe, they acquired fifty exceptionally talented and powerful cultivators. But they didn't expect that among the fifty cultivators, a terrifying god of slaughter emerged.
He directly killed the other forty-nine cultivators from the Investiture of the Gods, seized their divinities, and then, upon entering the Tunnel, immediately struck, killing a legitimate offspring of the Ancient Chu Clan who held the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods. He seized the Edict and disappeared without a trace!
The comprehensive strength of that person was truly overwhelming, giving the legitimate offspring of the Ancient Chu Clan no chance to use the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods.
This incident stirred quite a commotion throughout the Tunnel world. If it weren't for this time of turmoil, it would have caused an even greater uproar.
The Ancient Chu Clan announced that person's name instantly. That terrifying god of slaughter was named Chu Bai.
"Why is it another one with the surname Chu?"
"Could it be that the Chu Royal Family from a million years ago is going to return collectively with explosive force in this generation?"
"Now whenever I hear the surname Chu, I feel an endless sense of dread."
"If this Chu Bai is also a member of the Chu Royal Family, I can only say that the Chu Royal Family... they are defying heaven, simply unstoppable!"
The cultivators in the Tunnel world discussed fervently, speculating about the origins of Chu Bai. Yet there was no concrete information, everything was speculation.
Chu Mo had also heard the name; the two words Chu Bai made him lost in thought for quite some time.
It was from a past life, from the memory of that Young Master Chu.
If, among the youth of the Chu Royal Family a million years ago, one were to say who was most famous, everyone would likely agree it was the peerless Young Master Chu. But in truth, hardly anyone knew that a million years ago, the Chu Royal Family had another top-tier young cultivator.
That was Chu Bai!
In terms of seniority, Chu Bai and Chu Mo were from the same generation. But unlike Chu Mo, who was legitimate, Chu Bai... was illegitimate.
Yes, in a past life, Chu Mo and Chu Bai were half-brothers.
Though illegitimate, Chu Bai was extraordinarily talented beyond imagination. At that time, Chu Mo was known for his brilliance, intelligent to the point of being terrifying! He could learn anything at a glance; Chu Bai, on the other hand, was a true martial enthusiast, apart from cultivation and combat, he liked nothing else!
Due to his illegitimate status, Chu Bai remained very low-profile, so low-profile that almost no one outside the Chu Royal Family knew of him.
For countless years, he ventured out into the world under aliases. Each of his aliases had garnered some renown in the Tunnel.
Later, upon hearing about the crisis in the Royal Family, Chu Bai returned directly to the Chu Royal Family. Unfortunately, when he returned, Chu Mo had already chosen reincarnation. Not long after, the entire Chu Royal Family met its fate.
The once extraordinarily dazzling Chu Bai also vanished without a trace.
In Chu Mo's past life memories, even though there wasn't a deep brotherhood between him and Chu Bai, their relationship was quite good. It was the kind of relationship where, even without much interaction, they could still support and watch out for each other.
Otherwise, Chu Bai wouldn't have rushed back to the Chu Royal Family immediately upon hearing about Chu Mo's crisis.
Reflecting on the past life, Chu Mo couldn't help but sigh, wondering in his heart: Could this Chu Bai be that brother from his past life?
