The Imperial Clan's side, Chu Tianji was anxious as he stood there and shouted, "Chu Mo, come back! The next battle is mine!"

Ji Qingyu also shouted, "Child, your battle has ended. Come back!"

On Luotian Imperial Clan's side, countless Imperial disciples were fervently waving their fists.

What a relief!

What satisfaction!

It felt like the pent-up frustration in their chests had exploded all at once.

Prince Ji even let out a long howl!

Then, standing there, he muttered, "I… I still don't like you, but you've done well, done brilliantly… This is exactly how it should be!"

Ji Qi remained silent, his eyes flickering with light, his face unable to suppress the excitement. Even though, as the crown prince, he was required to remain composed and dignified, at this moment, his blood boiled uncontrollably in his chest!

Didn't even the Emperor secretly clench his fist?

Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng were even more impassioned. The radiance on Zi Dao's body shimmered. At the moment Chu Mo broke into the Saint Realm, Zi Dao had an epiphany and gained insight into his own Great Dao!

Even if he underwent tribulation immediately, Zi Dao was confident he could successfully break through to the Saint Realm!

The bald chef's eyes turned red, his hideous face behind the clown mask was brimming with excitement. He stood there, furiously punching the air.

Relief!

Satisfaction!

**** damn it!

Lin Xiu tightly gripped Liu Yunfeng's arm, almost unable to breathe at that moment.

Especially when Chu Mo pointed his finger at Great Saint Zhong Cheng from the Zhong Family's camp and shouted, "Zhong Cheng, get up here and die!" In that instant, Lin Xiu suddenly understood why Liu Yunfeng and Zi Dao, two Heavenly Geniuses famous in the Trial Field, held Chu Mo in such high regard.

He truly was an extraordinary, awe-inspiring top-tier Heavenly Genius!

Jiang Caiyue, Ye Qing, and the witch Zhenzhen were also so overwhelmed with excitement they couldn't speak.

At this moment, unlike the anxiety of Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu, countless young cultivators had their blood ignited by Chu Mo's domineering aura.

The cheers shook the heavens and earth.

Even some of the younger cultivators from factions leaning toward the Zhong Family couldn't help but secretly pump their fists a few times.

At this moment, Great Saint Zhong Cheng stood there, gritting his teeth, his face twisted with rage, and said to the Jiang Family's Great Saint hosting the arena, "You've seen it clearly, haven't you? He's the one challenging me!"

The Jiang Family's Great Saint replied with an expressionless face, "Youngsters letting their blood boil, you shouldn't join in their madness, should you? The rules for these two battles were that Chu Mo faces Zhong Sheng, and you face Chu Tianji."

"Rules my ***!" Zhong Cheng immediately exploded with fury, "My son was murdered by him!"

"So what? You can kill his father," the Jiang Family's Great Saint said indifferently, not even glancing at the enraged Zhong Cheng.

"Fine, fine, fine! Your Jiang Family sure knows how to stay neutral!" Zhong Cheng's face twisted maliciously as he coldly said, "Then I will kill his father first!"

Chu Mo stood there, attuning himself to the feelings of entering the Saint Realm. Each major breakthrough brought entirely new sensations. When stepping into the Supreme Realm, this sensation was especially pronounced. It was completely distinct from the experience of challenging across levels.

Now that he had entered the Saint Realm, the feeling was even more different. It was as if the entire world had transformed.

"So this is what the world looks like through a Saint's eyes." A smile appeared on Chu Mo's face. Then, he gazed at the Jiang Family's Great Saint hosting the arena and asked, "Esteemed senior, may I ask, who set the rules for these battles?"

The Jiang Family's Great Saint was slightly stunned, feeling slightly displeased in his heart and thinking, "This kid, does he not understand his place? Does he think stepping into the Saint Realm means he can challenge me, a Great Saint? Even if this Great Saint self-seals his strength to the Saint Realm, he is still not someone you can contend with!"

He knew perfectly well that Chu Tianji might also not be a match for Zhong Cheng, but for him, Chu Mo was the most important person right now!

This couldn't be called selfishness; from the perspective of allies, Chu Mo was clearly more promising and had greater potential for growth than his father.

How old was he, after all? Even with the fullest estimate, his years of cultivation wouldn't exceed a hundred years, right? Yet he had already entered the Saint Realm!

A Saint within a hundred years of age—throughout Luotian Immortal Domain—it couldn't be said this had never happened, but it was unquestionably exceptionally rare!

Therefore, the Jiang Family's Great Saint was determined, at all costs, to protect Chu Mo.

At this moment, Zhong Cheng shouted loudly, "Did you hear that? No one set the rules! Now he wants to challenge me! I still intend to keep my promise and self-seal my strength to the Saint Realm!"

Chu Tianji grew even more anxious, shouting angrily, "Chu Mo, come back here!"

Ji Qingyu also looked worriedly at the Emperor, who stood under his canopy, never taking his seat, silently pleading with him to summon Chu Mo back.

However, the Emperor, with a thoughtful expression, watched Chu Mo on the arena as though he hadn't noticed Ji Qingyu's gaze. But this was impossible. With the Emperor's peak Great Saint power, how could he not sense Ji Qingyu's gaze? He simply had his own considerations.

Chu Mo said, "Father, don't worry. I am your son. The saying 'father's debts are repaid by the son' fits here. Though this isn't your debt, as father and son on the frontlines, let me take this first step."

"No!" Chu Tianji resolutely rejected. How could he not know how perilous this battle would be? Did he truly have the confidence to win?

That was absolutely a joke!

Where would he find such confidence of certain victory? He'd only just entered the Saint Realm, while Zhong Cheng was at the Great Saint Realm!

Even if he suppressed himself to the Saint Realm, it would be at the peak of the Saint Realm!

Would a mortal enemy in a life-or-death battle suppress their realm to the early Saint stage? Even a fool would know that wouldn't happen!

But he had to fight!

And he had to do it with absolute confidence of victory.

Even if he fell right there, Chu Tianji wouldn't furrow his brow, not because of his status as an Imperial Clan outsider, but because of the undying pride within him as a member of the Chu Family!

He wanted the people of Luotian Immortal Domain and the Seven Great Domains to know that those who came from Yanhuang Domain were not cowards!

Though sealed for countless ages, the only thing sealed was their realms. Their hearts… were something no one… could ever seal!

Chu Mo looked at the Jiang Family's Great Saint hosting the arena: "Senior, this junior does not mean to disrespect you, but rather wishes to show you that in this battle, it matters not whether it's me or my father—our resolve is the same!"

The Jiang Family's Great Saint fell silent. Suddenly receiving a voice transmission in his mental sea, he finally nodded hesitantly, "Alright, since neither of you has objections…"

"No—I have objections!" Chu Tianji shouted.

At this moment, the Emperor suddenly spoke, "Tianji, let the child try."

The Emperor rarely spoke in such a tone. As the one wielding qi movement, his words were law, commands without negotiation.

Chu Tianji naturally understood this, which left him momentarily stunned.

The Emperor continued, "Trust him."

Though Chu Tianji's face still showed traces of unwillingness, he understood he had no choice but to nod. In front of so many people, defying the Emperor's wishes had no benefit.

"Alright!" Chu Tianji sat down in defeat. He didn't even bother to warn his son to be cautious, since it would be a pointless remark. Against a Great Saint Realm cultivator, who wouldn't know caution was required?

Ji Qingyu looked at her imperial brother with incomprehension. She naturally knew her brother would never harm Chu Mo, but she also didn't believe Chu Mo possessed the capability to defeat Zhong Cheng.

The Emperor offered no explanation but stood quietly, watching.

At this moment, Zhong Cheng coldly said, "May I enter now?"

The Jiang Family's Great Saint replied, "First, seal your realm. I need to verify it."

"You…" Zhong Cheng was infuriated but helpless, forced to channel powers and seal his realm to the Saint stage.

The Jiang Family's Great Saint glanced at him and remarked indifferently, "Good. Saint Realm peak. Zhong Cheng Great Saint's method is truly sophisticated—an extraordinary display of mastery!"

The irony embedded in these words was clear to anyone.

Zhong Cheng paid no heed, responding coolly, "I simply said I'd self-seal to the Saint stage. No rules have been broken, right?"

All around the arena, many could not hold back their jeering. Countless people cursed Zhong Cheng in their hearts: utterly shameless!

Indeed, Zhong Cheng's actions hardly violated promises but were widely seen as lacking the magnanimity befitting a Great Saint Realm cultivator.

Still, some could understand his motives; this was a duel of life and death, and Chu Mo had recently displayed overwhelming power by killing his son. Zhong Cheng's pressing thirst for vengeance was relatable. Battles between cultivators left no room for sentimentalism.

The Jiang Family's Great Saint spoke indifferently, "No violations. You may enter now." As he spoke, he used the array to create an opening in the structure.

This technique astonished many. The Jiang Family's control over arrays had reached an exquisite level. That they could carve out a portal within the formation stunned many onlookers.

Even Zhong Cheng's eyes narrowed as he coldly snorted before stepping through the portal into the center of the array. As soon as he arrived in front of Chu Mo, he didn't waste a single moment. He raised his hand and struck!

"Little bastard, die!"

He didn't want to wait—he couldn't bear a second of delay!

He only wanted to end Chu Mo with the shortest amount of time, strike him dead beneath his palm!

As a cultivator who had been in the Great Saint Realm for years, even with his strength sealed to the Saint Realm peak, his attack was still imbued with the grandeur of a Great Saint.

The heavens rumbled as infinite essence energy surged forth, triggered by Zhong Cheng's strike, all converging to strike Chu Mo!

The entire arena became Zhong Cheng's domain!

Chu Mo's figure flickered. In the next moment, he boldly met Zhong Cheng's fierce strike head-on. The Heaven Slaying in his hand emitted a demonic, blood-red glow, forcibly carving a tunnel through Zhong Cheng's domain.

The Chopping Wood Technique manifested through Chu Mo.

BOOM!

Within Chu Mo's body, the resonance of the Great Dao roared aloud.

His physique radiated gleaming light, erupting in immeasurable brilliance. The ancestral body fusion with the Five Elements Dao foundation, alongside the violet-golden bloodline of the Luotian Imperial Clan—all three perfectly intertwined—unleashed unimaginable power in the Saint Realm!

Zhong Cheng's domain could not restrain him!
