In the distance within the void, a young man with a pale face, clutching his chest, his eyes filled with endless horror, cut a sorry figure.

Blood gushed out from his fingers. The strike from Heaven Slaying had almost split him in half. Had he not run fast, he might have been cleaved into two by that sinister blade.

"What a pity... I didn't manage to kill him in one go!"

This young man was none other than the one who had been guarding the entrance to the heavenly road. He had never believed that Chu Mo would not show up this time for the heavenly road. Although he did not know why Chu Mo was absent, based on what he had learned about Chu Mo from various sources these days, he believed that Chu Mo was not the type to turn back at the first sign of hardship.

Although Chu Mo was his target, he had to admit that Chu Mo was a cultivator with a resolute temperament and quite persistent.

Even many young lords were far inferior to Chu Mo in terms of mental fortitude.

Hence, after entering the heavenly road, he did not go far; he decided to wait until the very last moment before the gate closed to lose heart.

Indeed, he was not disappointed, as Chu Mo had almost stepped on time to come in. He did not attack immediately, even though he was confident he could have easily suppressed those three men. Still, he had not acted rashly.

Because his elder had once told him during training, "The best method of killing is the element of surprise! Even the strongest person has moments of laxity, and that is the best time to strike!"

He had also asked, if my power is enough to crush the opponent, isn't it more thrilling to smash him face to face? His ancestor had answered him like this.

"You think you can crush the opponent, but that's only what you think, the reality might not be the same. You have trump cards, and so does the other side! How do you know for sure that you can crush the opponent without giving them any chance to retaliate? Moreover, even if the opponent's strength is less than yours, do you know how many escape skills they possess?"

For that, he had indeed paid a certain price.

At that time, he was only a cultivator in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and his target, an assassin, was only in the early stages of the true immortal realm. At that moment, there were tens of millions of miles without a human in sight, where he whimsically decided to toy with his prey like a cat does with a mouse.

After severely injuring his target with a surprise attack, he revealed himself, wanting to squeeze the last bit of advantage from his opponent.

Unexpectedly, that barely alive true immortal cultivator directly sacrificed a dharma instrument of the Emperor Realm, catching him off guard and almost killing him!

Even though he eventually didn't let that person escape and murdered him, and he obtained that Emperor Realm dharma instrument, the incident taught him a profound lesson. It made him vow never to engage in a direct confrontation with anyone unless absolutely necessary.

That lesson truly made him grow, and later on, successfully assassinating two mighty beings of the Emperor Realm even gave him a taste of the sweetness.

His path... was assassination!

"It's been many years since I last failed... This person is truly extraordinary." The young man's bleeding gradually stopped as he lifted his hand and glanced at his blood-stained hand, a cold smile appeared on his pale face, "Next time, I won't let you get away. Having three incredibly powerful dharma instruments on you, good... I'll be mindful of them."

As the young man spoke, his figure gradually faded into the void and disappeared.

Chaos furnace carrying Chu Mo transformed into a streak of light, vanishing directly into the void, so much so that despite the exceptionally quick reactions of Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng, they still lost track of Chu Mo. Both of their faces looked rather unsightly, filled with worry and self-blame.

"I should have thought of this... it's all my fault," Yue Qingcheng said with slightly reddened eyes, blaming herself.

"It's my fault. I'm the highest realm among the three of us, and Lord Hongyue had reminded us. I was just too proud at the moment," Hu Lie was equally filled with self-reproach, not knowing where Chu Mo had gone or how he was now.

"Give me two elixirs," Yue Qingcheng hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "I need to get stronger faster!"

Hu Lie did not hesitate, taking out all four elixirs.

"I only need two," Yue Qingcheng took two from Hu Lie, one bright and one slightly dimmer.

In Hu Lie's eyes, a fierce rage also emerged, "If I find that person, I will definitely tear him to pieces!"

The two decided to first find a place to seclude themselves for cultivation to boost their strength, then devise a plan to search for Chu Mo.

At this time, Chu Mo had already passed out completely, half of his body terribly mangled, even his internal organs were exposed. A full-force sneak attack from a peak True Immortal cultivator would normally shatter even a Heavenly Immortal cultivator protected by several divine instruments.

It was his ancestral realm body that saved Chu Mo's life.

But his injuries were too severe, blood still continuously flowed out, the whole Chaos Furnace inside was dyed bright red.

From within the dharma instrument on Chu Mo's chest, the Heaven's Will Mirror, came a crisp girl's voice, "Chaos, are you satisfied now?"

"What do you mean 'am I satisfied now'? Do you think this is my fault?" The voice of Ground Entering Blood Moon appeared.

"If it hadn't been for your idea initially, the danger was clearly perceived in advance, then why wasn't there a warning beforehand?" the girl's voice sounded again.

Ground Entering Blood Moon fell silent for a while before saying, "I think this calamity is a good thing for him. Wishful... I admit that previously I was reluctant to accept him as my master. But his performance has won my approval. I would not harm him."

"But now he is like this..." the girl's voice became somewhat sad, she knew that Ground Entering Blood Moon's words made sense, but she still felt unbearable seeing Chu Mo wounded like this.

"Wishful, do not be too sad, he will be fine. The body of the ancestral realm also needs constant tempering to become even stronger," another voice rang out, it was from Avoiding Disasters Blood Moon on the Heaven's Will Mirror, who said gravely, "The master himself also needs this kind of hardship to truly grow. Otherwise, if he relies on us too much, it will not be good in the long run."

The voice of Entering Earth Blood Moon also came out, that of an elder, "Avoiding Disasters is correct, actually, during these days without our guidance, the master has gradually gotten used to it. Today's incident can only be considered an accident, that person too was very strong, extremely skilled at concealing their presence. And we, the ten moons are not complete... each of us cannot exert all our power, only one ten-thousandth... Otherwise, just a mere True Immortal would have been suppressed with just a thought."

The voice of the Heaven's Will Mirror then followed, "Let's heal him first. You ten moons siblings, ultimately there will come a day of reunion."

At this moment, all four Blood Moons fell silent. After a long time, Wishful finally spoke softly, "Reunion? I don't even know if they are in this plane of existence. I cannot sense their aura at all."

"You are Wishful, you have to cheer up, we will find them," said the Heaven's Will Mirror.

Then, all voices disappeared.

Large amounts of medicinal herbs autonomously flew out from the Heaven's Will Mirror, entering the Chaos Furnace. They almost completely buried Chu Mo.

Following that, the Chaos Furnace operated on its own, starting to refine everything.

Soon, Chu Mo's destroyed body was submerged by the elixirs refined from those medicinal herbs, leaving only his head exposed.

That broken body was also being continuously repaired.

Heaven's Will My Will, Volume Four, Only Me Scroll... Grand scriptures also began to operate autonomously within Chu Mo's sea of divine sense, emitting a thunderous sound of the Dao, over and over again.
