Chapter 1687: The Woman in the Yellow Skirt
Thinking about it in his heart, he couldn't help but hate the ancient ancestors of the Ancient God Family even more, planning to let them suffer more when he returned to refine their primordial spirits.
At this point, high in the sky, deep within the void, the fluctuations within the barrier that had been blasted into a huge pit became increasingly apparent.
Chu Mo stood there, his gaze coldly fixed on it.
Like a pond stirred by a giant object, the ripples deep in the pit began to intensify.
Finally, a figure emerged directly from it.
It was a stunningly beautiful woman, wearing a bright yellow long dress, emanating Great Dao fluctuations. This was battle attire, and the ripples emanating from it made it clear it was top-tier!
The woman's aura was incomparably noble; she stepped out from the depths of the pit and, in the blink of an eye, arrived before Chu Mo. Yet her gaze did not fall upon him, as she seemed to look skyward and uttered coldly, "What happened here?"
Chu Mo was irritated by the woman's aloofness, although he knew well that she must be an extraordinary being. After all, entering such a barrier was not a feat anyone could achieve, not even those ancient ancestors at the Supreme realm.
Chu Mo did not respond, instead sizing up the woman, attempting to use the power of the Celestial Insight to discern her realm!
However, the Celestial Insight returned an answer that said it was impossible to detect her.
Just then, the woman in the bright yellow dress finally set her gaze upon Chu Mo, her eyes extremely cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Are you spying on me?" The woman coldly looked at Chu Mo.
"No." Chu Mo shook his head without hesitation, denying it outright. He only wanted to see her realm but failed, yet she accused him of spying, which might lead others to misunderstand his intentions.
"A creature as insignificant as an ant dares to lie to me?" The woman's face was full of arrogance, yet she said nothing more, lightly extending her finger into the void, creating a seemingly ordinary Water Mirror Technique.
Chu Mo felt nervous, realizing she wanted to trace what had just happened here.
Just as Chu Mo was about to stop her, the woman let out a light exclamation, and then the Water Mirror Technique shattered with a puff in the void!
The woman suddenly turned toward the distant west, speaking coldly, "Do you want to meddle?"
A Buddha chant came directly from that direction: "Amitabha."
The woman coldly replied, "Reciting Amitabha won't work! Amitabha is eternal... hum." She didn't continue for some reason.
At this moment, a voice came from the east: "Immeasurable Heavenly Reverence."
The woman's expression turned colder, and she raised an eyebrow, saying disdainfully, "Are the two of you bullying me? No matter who came in the past, you ignored them, but now that I arrive, you want to meddle?"
Speaking, the woman directly attacked Chu Mo!
She coldly declared, "It seems you care a lot about this ant, so I'll crush him!"
Buzz!
The woman aimed a slap at Chu Mo's forehead.
The action was as if she was swatting a bug.
Fueled with immense anger, Chu Mo opted not to use Heaven Slaying, instead clenching his fist and directly punching toward the woman's palm.
"Overconfident."
The woman didn't move as her palm descended directly.
At first glance, it seemed as though this palm lacked any power, not even as impressive as an ancient ancestor's strike.
Yet Chu Mo had a sense of impending doom.
This woman in the yellow dress was terrifying; she was the strongest foe Chu Mo had ever faced.
The palm almost instantly reached Chu Mo's forehead, yet Chu Mo's fist also struck!
Boom!
A loud bang echoed.
With a cry, Chu Mo spat out a mouthful of blood; his entire arm snapped, making a crisp cracking noise as the bones shattered.
But the yellow-dressed woman's hand was forcefully pushed back by his punch.
The woman felt her whole arm go numb for a moment. Her face displayed surprise. She didn't expect to encounter a cultivator with such combat prowess in this place, which greatly astonished her.
Chu Mo couldn't perceive her realm due to the vast difference in their levels! Yet she could see through Chu Mo's realm at a glance.
Ancestral Realm!
Such a low realm managed to withstand her palm?
The woman felt her face burning, embarrassed by the situation. Especially since the two must be watching this scene.
She coldly stated, "Let me see how many palms you can withstand?"
At that moment, voices rang simultaneously from both east and west.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Reverence!"
"Amitabha!"
And then, two figures appeared directly there.
It was as if they emerged out of thin air!
Subsequently, an elderly man in ancient robes raised his hand and waved, directly blocking the woman's attack.
The woman immediately retreated several steps.
Then, the woman became furious like a cat whose fur was bristling. She pulled out an ancient long sword from her body and thrust it towards the elder in robes.
Clang!
A resonant sound echoed in the void.
The woman's combat prowess had reached an extreme, entering a state of returning to simplicity. She appeared to be just an ordinary warrior, but in reality, each of her strikes held world-destroying power.
Chu Mo watched from the side, his mind swayed, barely able to believe such terrifying beings existed in the world.
However, the elder in robes was also immensely powerful, calmly defusing the woman's attacks without any trouble. It seemed he did not truly wish to turn hostile with the woman.
But the woman was relentless, her face like cold frost, unleashing a furious assault on the elder.
On the other side, an old monk draped in a worn-out robe looked kindly at Chu Mo: "Are you alright?"
This old monk, if encountered elsewhere, would never be assumed to be a formidable presence. He emitted no strong aura whatsoever.
But Chu Mo knew, this old monk should be the Immeasurable Buddha guarding the West! That old Taoist… naturally was the Supreme Wuji guarding the East. Yet, he didn't expect that he held such respect. Not only did they help him secretly, but now, in times of crisis, they had come personally.
Chu Mo felt deeply grateful, quickly mending the injury on his arm, then bowed to the old monk: "Junior is fine, thank you for your concern, senior."
The old monk nodded at Chu Mo, then shifted his gaze to the old Taoist, suddenly saying: "Kill!"
What?
Chu Mo was instantly startled, looking at the old monk in horror.
What situation is this?
Kill?
Kill whom?
Kill the woman who perhaps comes from beyond the tunnel?
This could shatter the heavens!
Even if Chu Mo wasn't certain what lay beyond the tunnel, whether it really was the fabled eternal realm, it was clear that a place far beyond their world existed. Killing someone from there, was it really okay?
The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, but only briefly, even Chu Mo barely sensed the old Taoist's hesitation.
The battle on that side suddenly became intense.
The mode of their combat was something Chu Mo struggled to comprehend!
Yes, incomprehensible!
While earlier Chu Mo could still sense a powerful Dao from the clash between the old Taoist and the yellow-skirt woman, now he couldn't even feel that Dao.
This both shocked and stirred a desire in Chu Mo towards that realm. For the first time, he felt such a strong wish to break into that domain, to experience its law.
The yellow-skirt woman seemed extremely angry; she could hardly believe it was real. These two ancient beings of the tunnel world actually intended to kill her?
"You must be tired of living!"
Even though facing the old Taoist alone was somewhat exhausting for the yellow-skirt woman, her attitude remained fierce, unwilling to utter a single soft word. She directly engaged the old Taoist fiercely in battle.
The fight between both sides didn't spread strong ripples, which was why Chu Mo couldn't comprehend it. But he understood this was true simplicity, contrasting their battles that often caused tremendous damage to the surrounding environment.
Especially battles at the Supreme levels like this, they could easily collapse the heavens.
In the lower universe, battles between cultivators at such levels could even effortlessly ruin entire cosmic spaces!
The more the yellow-skirt woman fought, the more startled she became. She had long known that the tunnel world's two ancient beings possessed unfathomably profound techniques. But in truth, she had never paid them much attention.
For ten thousand ages, these two beings never showed hostility towards people like her. Even faced with an apocalyptic catastrophe, they remained unmoved. Over time, these two beings seemed timid and fearful in their eyes.
With grand compassion, wholly intent on safeguarding the entire tunnel world, they wouldn't dare challenge them!
How could she have thought this time they would directly turn hostile!
This nearly made the yellow-skirt woman's stomach explode with rage.
But now she had little energy left for anger, because the old Taoist's techniques… were too profound!
When he wasn't serious, she couldn't feel it, but once he focused, she instantly realized she wasn't his match.
"Do you really want to kill me?" The woman said coldly: "Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"You have broken the rules by entering this world time and again," the old Taoist struck at the yellow-skirt woman with a palm, speaking calmly.
"I wasn't the first to break the rules!" The yellow-skirt woman was shaken by the old Taoist's palm, causing a line of blood to overflow from the corner of her mouth, her eyes petrified with fury.
"Either leave now, or… stay here forever." The old Taoist seemed tired of speaking to the woman, directly issuing the final ultimatum.
"Want me to leave? You must have some conspiracy!" The woman snarled coldly, then sneered: "Want to kill me? Want to kill an eternal, indestructible being? You must be insane!"
The old monk spoke softly on the side: "In this world, what eternal and indestructible being is there? Leave the eternal realm, and anyone would decay."
