Chu Mo awoke.
As he opened his eyes, he saw the scene within the Chaos furnace, yet his gaze was filled with calm.
He showed no anxiety or confusion about his surroundings.
He was well aware of the power of the three divine artifacts on his body, how they had pulled him back from the brink of death countless times, even autonomously seeking opportunities to disguise him… helping him to cleanse the great karma on his body in the sin-ridden edges of the legendary underworld.
These affairs, one after another, were proof enough that these artifacts had always been silently protecting him.
"Thank you," Chu Mo softly said.
Then he leaped out from the Chaos furnace.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Mo surveyed his surroundings.
It was a cave, not very deep, with the entrance visible at a glance from the end.
Heaven Slaying was embedded in a huge rock at the entrance, silently guarding there.
Chu Mo touched his chest, where the Sky Mirror was still in place.
He took out a set of clothes, dressed, and walked leisurely to the entrance, then raised his hand and pulled out Heaven Slaying from the rock. Chu Mo looked into the distance.
The person who had ambushed him must have been injured then by a fierce slash from Heaven Slaying and probably lacked the ability to trouble him for the time being. Then there was that cultivator from the Zhuge Family who had failed to advance to Emperor but was likely suffering now.
Thinking of the unlucky Zhuge Family, Chu Mo couldn't help but want to laugh.
This time, although it was a scenario of the mantis stalking the cicada with the Yellow Finch behind, having been ambushed by a surprise strike, but personally ending the opportunity for an unparalleled Heavenly Genius of the Zhuge Family to ascend, Chu Mo was quite satisfied.
Phew!
Chu Mo let out a breath, the terrifying injuries in his body had mostly healed.
Although not fully restored to his original state, it was no longer a big problem for Chu Mo.
Anyone else in the Heavenly Immortal Realm would have been less fortunate, barely escaping that catastrophe and needing several years to recuperate.
His ancestral physique, combined with the Chaos Furnace, had allowed Chu Mo to recover in just a few days.
He believed even the true immortal who had ambushed him would never have dreamt of such a thing.
Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng had disappeared to who knows where, they must be quite worried about him now. Thinking this, Chu Mo took out the communication stone, first activating the trace of spiritual energy Hu Lie had left on it.
There was silence from the other end of the communication stone. Chu Mo slightly furrowed his brows, just as he was about to disconnect the spiritual connection, the stone connected. However, the voice was very noisy. Hu Lie's voice was fraught with fatigue but also filled with immense surprise, "Haha, I said, my brother, there's no way it's that easy to encounter calamity, where are you? Get lost! Cough cough… I didn't mean you, brother, I'm fighting with someone… Damn it, get lost!"
Boom!
A massive explosion came from the other side of the stone.
A cold light flashed in Chu Mo's eyes as he said sternly, "Where are you?"
Hu Lie said, "We are at…" He quickly gave a location.
Chu Mo looked up at the sky, silently calculating the location in his mind, and found it was not very far from where he was. About over ten million miles or so.
Of course, this distance was trivial for Chu Mo's current realm.
For ordinary people, it would take ten lifetimes to travel such a distance.
The vast cultivation realm, boundless and immense. Ten million miles was perhaps just a corner of a large clan's territory.
On the endless heavenly road, ten million miles was hardly anything.
Chu Mo did not hesitate and, carrying Heaven Slaying, immediately headed in the direction Hu Lie had mentioned.
Shrinking Ground into Inches, a thousand miles in one step!
His formidable realm demonstrated its power at this moment.
Soon, Chu Mo arrived at the scene of the incident.
From afar, he could sense the turmoil in the aura of the skies ahead.
A great battle was taking place there!
Voices of reproach, roars, and bellows—continuous and unending!
Chu Mo quickly made his way over and spotted Yue Qingcheng, but was somewhat surprised to find that Yue Qingcheng's realm had already reached the peak of the true immortal state!
The one she was battling was a man dressed in white, tall and with a handsome stature, who even in silhouette, exuded an extraordinary grace!
The man's moves were extremely fierce; his realm was clearly also at the peak of true immortal state, and he was handling Yue Qingcheng with ease and flair.
This was a supreme Heavenly Genius, a true young master!
Just by that aura, Chu Mo could tell, but the person seemed completely unfamiliar.
The one Hu Lie was battling were four individuals!
All four of them were at the realm of true immortals!
Although not at the peak level, their offense and defense were measured and their coordination was seamless.
The four, two men and two women, both men dashing and charismatic, while the women were beautiful, floating like immortals.
Their moves were equally fierce; although they appeared relaxed, they were secretly lethal, every move and every style aimed directly at Hu Lie's weak points.
Hu Lie's realm had also reached the peak state of true immortal, with unmatched combat power, attacking with great force in every move, making it difficult for others to intercept directly.
Chu Mo walked through the void, and the people on the other side had already noticed his presence. Immediately, one of the men assaulting Hu Lie flew towards Chu Mo, soaring high before launching a fierce kick directly at Chu Mo's face.
"Are you Chu Mo? The little trash that climbed up from the Mortal Realm? The one who acts recklessly just because he has some outdated support from the Immortal Realm?"
By the time he spoke, his foot was already very close to Chu Mo!
On the other side, Hu Lie roared, "Your opponent is me!"
The man sneered, "Settle them first!"
Boom!
This kick, carrying endless oppressive force, was like a massive mountain!
Crashing down overhead!
Such an act was extremely humiliating; in battles among cultivators, unless there was deep hatred, such methods were generally not used.
Chu Mo did not even know who this person was. He snorted coldly and performed the "Phantom Wind Steps," instantly disappearing with his speed skyrocketing by tenfold!
He appeared directly above the man!
"Leng Nan, be careful!" The man in white battling Yue Qingcheng suddenly called out a warning.
But it was still a bit too late.
Chu Mo also stomped fiercely toward the face of the true immortal called Leng Nan.
A heavenly immortal striking a true immortal… Although not at the peak of true immortal, Leng Nan, who was in the mid-stage of true immortal realm, was furiously enraged. But what completely baffled him was that his opponent was way too fast!
So fast that even with his true immortal power controlling his movements, he couldn't dodge in time.
In a critical moment, he crossed his arms in front of his face.
Chu Mo's kick landed fiercely on the intersection of Leng Nan's arms.
Crack!
A crisp bone-cracking sound echoed, followed by a scream from Leng Nan.
For a dignified true immortal to be injured in the face by a heavenly immortal, both arms broken, was both humiliating and infuriating.
Just as he was about to use his magical power to mend his broken bones, Chu Mo's sword slashed towards him.
The slash was so dazzling that, for a moment, Leng Nan was slightly dazed.
"You little beast dare…" The man in white combating Yue Qingcheng suddenly arrived, moving incredibly fast as well, and struck at Chu Mo with his sword.
