After settling Ye Qing, Chu Mo turned around and saw the huge mantis. The warning from the Firmament Divine Mirror had already been received.

The creature in the Supreme Realm was swift and robust, its two forelegs sharp like serrated blades. The fellow's eyes reacted quite fast, and its movements were even faster!

If Chu Mo hadn't reacted quickly just now, Ye Qing might have really been sliced in two by those sharp blade-like forelegs!

With such a creature, there's no point in communication, there's only one word—fight!

The Cold Moon Blade swept out, a blade of blue light transforming into the cold moon's radiance, forming an arc that pushed against the huge mantis!

Clang!

The giant mantis lifted one of its forelegs with contempt, blocking Chu Mo's strike, then its eyes still filled with scorn.

Whoosh!

It moved.

Its speed was simply too fast!

Not like a bolt of lightning, but faster than lightning!

So fast that even Chu Mo felt overwhelmed. He swung his blade in counterattack.

Bang!

A loud noise, followed by a powerful force. Even a star, under such an attack, would be knocked off its orbit, even shattered to pieces!

Although the rules of Heaven and Earth in the Trial Field were strong, the shockwaves from the attack still caused the surrounding mountains to collapse, reducing mountain ranges to flat ground. But in this place rich with spirit energy, it would take only a few days for the vegetation to cover the area with greenery once again.

Chu Mo activated the lin character mnemonic from the Nine Word Mantra—Immovable as the Mountain.

Then, with hands forming seals, he activated the bing character mnemonic—Vast Energy!

Next, Chu Mo once again used the jie character mnemonic—Divine Sense Induction. This was to counter the terrifying speed of the giant mantis!

The speed of divine sense is always the fastest. To keep up with the mantis's pace with the eyes, even for Chu Mo, was impossible. With the augmentation of the jie character mnemonic, Chu Mo's divine sense was enhanced manyfold and finally kept up with the trajectory of the giant mantis's movements.

The giant mantis never expected that its strike, capable of splitting a stone mountain, failed to make this human retreat half a step!

Just a moment of astonishment in thought, but its reaction was still swift.

But Chu Mo was faster!

In fights between the strong, victory and defeat often hinge on a single thought. In an instant, Chu Mo activated the zhen character mnemonic, perfectly concealing his own aura.

The giant mantis that was about to retreat suddenly found that it had lost its lock on this human's aura!

For powerful creatures in battle, this was a fatal blow!

The stronger the beings, the more important it is to lock onto the opponent's aura, because often the eyes can be deceived. What is seen may not be reality, it could just be an afterimage. Therefore, only the divine sense's lock on the aura is truly crucial.

But it had lost the lock on this human!

Disastrous!

The giant mantis instantly felt a surge of panic and began to fear.

However, its panic and fear only lasted an instant.

Because Chu Mo's attack had arrived; he swung the Cold Moon Blade with his right hand, aiming at one of the giant mantis's compound eyes, while with his left hand, he threw a fierce punch at one of the mantis's forelegs!

His figure lunged forward violently!

At the same time, he activated the lie character mnemonic from the Nine Word Mantra!

Everything was completed in the blink of an eye.

Too fast!

Too clever!

Simply incomparable to powerful beings like the giant mantis who, despite their high realm, had almost never fought against human cultivators.

When Chu Mo's attack came, it had only readied itself to retreat, using all its power to pull back. How could it have anticipated that its enemy would have so many tricks and techniques?

At this moment, it seemed as if time froze, and space twisted, as though it was fragmented into many pieces.

In Ye Qing's eyes, it was as if the entire world had changed!

This moment became the most profound scene in Ye Qing's mind since she started cultivation!

"Is this the Dao that the Young Master refers to?" Like a bolt of lightning, it shone within Ye Qing's sea of consciousness, and her eyes became exceptionally bright. She was indeed a genius, grasping during this battle what many cultivators might not realize in their entire lives.

Dao!

Crack!

A crisp sound.

Chu Mo's punch directly shattered one of the giant mantis's forelegs!

Not fractured, but shattered!

That seemingly indestructible foreleg, stout like cast black iron and sharp like a serrated blade, was blown to pieces by Chu Mo's blow!

At the same time, Chu Mo's blade did not hit the giant mantis's compound eye. It was precisely in dodging Chu Mo's attack on its eye that the mantis's foreleg was hit.

But as one of its forelegs was destroyed, Chu Mo's blade also struck the underjaw of the giant mantis.

Crack!

The power of the holy artifact burst forth in an instant, shattering the giant mantis's underjaw completely!

One strike!

It was enough to fatally wound this terrifying Supreme Realm giant mantis.

Yes, for a creature like it, such a blow was indeed lethal!

The foreleg could regrow, and the underjaw could be healed. But that required time! In an ordinary place, such a creature could dominate a galaxy! Just like the two Frog Venerables Chu Mo once encountered in the Yanhuang domain.

But in a Trial Field like this, a stronger creature could appear at any time and directly devour the seriously wounded giant mantis!

Yes, creatures of the Supreme Realm are not the top predators in the Trial Field! There are far too many beings that could restrain them.

For example, a Supreme Realm Yellow Finch could easily kill a giant mantis of the same realm. Not to mention one that is injured.

So, the moment the giant mantis was heavily damaged, it went mad!

Its two massive compound eyes burst forth with a bloody red light. It was fighting desperately!

Chu Mo sneered, his hand reversed, and another slash was aimed directly into the slightly open mouth of the giant mantis. The terrifying murderous aura inside the holy artifact exploded completely within the mouth of the giant mantis!

The entire oral cavity of the giant mantis was destroyed in an instant!

This was fatal.

The giant mantis roared, rolled, and at the same time its remaining sharp foreleg fiercely swept towards Chu Mo, trying to cut him in half.

Chu Mo clenched his fist and punched again.

Crack!

A crisp sound of breaking bones. Chu Mo broke that leg of the giant mantis too!

Chu Mo leaped into the air, landing directly on the head of the giant mantis. In his left hand, a crimson long knife appeared out of nowhere.

Thud!

The long knife plunged directly into the head of the giant mantis, almost to the hilt.

The body of the giant mantis jolted fiercely, and then began to struggle wildly; Chu Mo nonchalantly jumped off its head. The giant mantis, using its remaining hind legs, ran frantically towards the distance.

But it couldn't even make it ten steps before it collapsed on the ground, its body convulsing and rapidly shriveling up.

The Cold Moon Blade in Chu Mo's hand emitted a few mournful wails, seemingly dissatisfied with Heaven Slaying appearing all of a sudden to steal its prey.

But Heaven Slaying merely released one breath, and the Cold Moon Blade became obedient. There was no helping it, the difference in their grades was too wide! One was a big brother, the other a little brother; it wouldn't even dare have the thought of competing, as Heaven Slaying could easily suppress the Cold Moon Blade.

In a moment, the essence of the giant mantis's body was all sucked away by Heaven Slaying. Satisfied, it returned to the world of the Skyscape Divine Mirror.

Not long ago, the imposing giant mantis was now reduced to a mere shell lying there. But it was a supreme level shell, invaluable.

Chu Mo had no disdain and directly collected the mantis's shell into his storage ring.

At this time, he turned back to look at Ye Qing. But he saw Ye Qing standing there, her whole being having entered a kind of ethereal realm. Chu Mo was slightly startled and then a look of incredulity appeared on his face.

He once thought that Fang Lan was talented enough, but compared to Ye Qing, Fang Lan seemed rather insignificant. Ye Qing's talent was too great, and her comprehension power was incredibly strong.

It seems… only I can be stronger than her, right? Chu Mo thought somewhat narcissistically. He then laughed at himself; she was born with unimaginable massive amounts of essence energy, reaching the level of a Quasi-Supreme without needing cultivation. How did I step into this realm? Through a path full of hardships, brimming with blood and tears!

Chu Mo did not disturb Ye Qing but used the zhe character mnemonic to treat her recent wounds.

He then sat down cross-legged nearby, protecting Ye Qing as she cultivated. Everyone who entered the Trial Field cherished the opportunity, but Chu Mo treasured it even more!

What realm he could reach depended on the luck and fate found within the Trial Field. But before that arrived, he wouldn't waste any time for cultivation.

Ye Qing's enlightenment this time took a whole month!

During this period, Chu Mo used the divine metal obtained from slaying the giant bird to forge a rough prototype of a sword for Ye Qing. Chu Mo's artifact forging skills weren't particularly profound, and he thought that this divine metal could at least be used to create a supreme level artifact. However, he didn't currently possess such ability. He could only forge a rough prototype for Ye Qing, temporarily achieving the level of a top tier emperor's dharma instrument. Compared to many supreme artifacts, this sword prototype was not inferior in the slightest. Because it had vast potential for growth.

It allowed Ye Qing to continuously refine it. When one day, this sword prototype was refined into a sharp blade by Ye Qing herself, it would become a truly formidable weapon!

And it would be Ye Qing's personal dharma instrument.

A month later, Ye Qing awoke from her deep contemplation, and in her eyes, a nebulous and coarse world was evolving.

This was the Dao!

In this Trial Field, she received her very own opportunity that belonged solely to her. It was her Dao.

"Young Master, thank you!" Ye Qing knelt on the ground and earnestly kowtowed to Chu Mo.

This was a great kindness!

A debt of gratitude heavier than the heavens!

This time, Chu Mo didn't play coy and accepted the kowtow from Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's combat power and cultivation realm were finally balanced as a result of this enlightenment, entering the level of a Quasi-Supreme. Although there was still much to learn, her progress was nothing short of miraculous.

Chu Mo didn't doubt that Ye Qing could step into the Supreme Realm by the time she left the Trial Field.

The two continued on their way, and after another month, they finally entered the bustling area of the Trial Field. Here, traces left by other cultivators had begun to appear.
