They couldn't help but feel shocked. They were all favored children of Heaven and Earth, all deeply cultivated practitioners. In the eyes of the world, they were true celestial beings. Yet, at this moment, they all felt a profound sense of unreality.

It was as if they were dreaming!

The person we see… is it really him?

Are we dreaming?

Even Hongyue, a woman who had already entered the Holy Realm, was struck by an almost dizzying disbelief.

Chu Mo didn't waste any words and directly sent Qi Xiaoyu and the other four women into the world of the Celestial Mirror.

Then, he looked at the distant fleeing Beidou Sect Holy Realm cultivators, his eyes glinting with an unimaginably chilling light.

"Trying to escape?"

Chu Mo raised his hand and slashed with the blade. At this moment, the Heaven Slaying Blade was already tinged with a faint red hue.

Although it wasn't particularly obvious yet, compared to before, there was already a visible difference.

"Who are you really?"

"What grudge does our Beidou Sect have against you?"

"Our Patriarch is a Great Saint at the peak of his realm! You dare treat us like this?"

"You cannot kill me..."

Faced with Chu Mo's cold and unyielding slaughter, these Beidou Sect cultivators were utterly terrified, almost to the point of losing their souls!

But no matter what they said or how they pleaded, the only response they received was a dazzling, resplendent blade arc.

One slash, one death. One slash, a group perishes… Regardless, there was only killing!

Neither Saints nor Supremes could offer any resistance before Chu Mo, whose eyes were bloodshot and heart filled with murderous intent. And even in death, they remained clueless about who was killing them.

How similar it was to the countless lives cut short by their hands over all these years!

The Beidou Sect's Heavenly Palace had long been ruined. A battle between two Great Saints, intentionally guided by one of the enraged Great Saints, had left the Heavenly Palace barely standing—a miracle in itself.

Thus, the Beidou Sect's current residence was located in the central region of the Beidou Realm.

The disciples guarding the soul lamps watched helplessly as one by one, the soul lamps belonging to eminent figures of the Beidou Sect shattered, leaving them paralyzed with fear, their souls nearly crushed from terror.

But it wasn't over yet. As the disciples rushed frantically to report, the densely packed soul lamps continued to shatter, one by one...

Several days later, more than five hundred soul lamps of disciples above the Supreme Realm had shattered!

Something catastrophic had happened!

This news couldn't stay hidden—it was impossible. Too many spies from other forces were planted within the Beidou Sect. And in their panicked state, the soul lamp guardians hadn't bothered to conceal anything, so it didn't take long for the news to spread across the entire Beidou Realm.

On this vast land, everyone was utterly stunned.

Who was it?

Who could possibly be so powerful, slaughtering so many cultivators of the Beidou Realm?

Was it a single person? Or a group?

Ever since the previous Great Saint's demise, virtually all non-Beidou Sect cultivators had lost hope and fallen into despair. While resistance never stopped, deep down, they had given up, believing there was no chance of turning the tide.

The Beidou Sect had so many Saints, and even their Patriarch, a Great Saint at the pinnacle of existence, had personally joined the fray… who could possibly resist?

But now, their Saints were nearly completely wiped out!

As for their Supreme Realm cultivators, the casualties were even more devastating!

No matter who accomplished this, it was a miracle tonic for the other cultivators in the Beidou Realm!

Resistance!

War!

Defiance!

Slaughter!

The fires of war reignited across the Beidou Realm. Almost extinguished before, they now burned fiercely once more, fueled by this earth-shattering news.

Patriarch Beidou was furiously hunting down Chu Mo's whereabouts, but every time he arrived, he was one step too late, finding only scorched earth and the severed limbs of Beidou Sect disciples.

Driven to madness, Patriarch Beidou howled at the heavens, his roars filled with rage, as he swore a Great Saint Realm vow to shred the enigmatic culprit into pieces!

But even now, he had no clue who this person was, what they looked like, whether they were male or female, nor their cultivation level… not even a shred of useful information!

For someone of Patriarch Beidou's level, this was an immense humiliation—an absolutely intolerable disgrace.

The man poised to become a colossus of the universe had been reduced to such a pitiful state, his Beidou Sect nearly crippled by a single individual? Such shame was unbearable!

Yes, Patriarch Beidou knew well that the assailant was just one person—and not someone at the Great Saint Realm!

From the lingering aura at the battle sites, he could easily discern the opponent's overwhelming power, but it wasn't the overwhelming power of a Great Saint.

All Beidou Sect disciples who had encountered Chu Mo had been instantly obliterated—body, spirit, soul… utterly vanquished without a trace!

Even someone at Patriarch Beidou's level couldn't piece together any useful information from these remnants. Thus, to this day, he remained entirely in the dark!

"Are you forcing me to directly refine those three stars just to ferret you out?" Patriarch Beidou spat a mouthful of blood in fury.

Meanwhile, Chu Mo vanished again into the boundless expanse of the Beidou Realm, leaving not a single trace. No matter how Patriarch Beidou calculated, he couldn't deduce anything useful.

Chu Mo entered the world of the Celestial Mirror once more. After more than ten days of slaughter—countless Beidou Sect disciples had perished under the Heaven Slaying Blade—a vivid red layer began emerging on the blade's surface again. Though it hadn't yet reached the Heaven Slaying Blade's peak state, it was not far off.

Over these days, Chu Mo hadn't killed anyone below the Supreme Realm—every victim was an elite powerhouse. The Heaven Slaying Blade had been utterly drenched in the blood of top-tier cultivators.

Now, Chu Mo needed only to nurture the blade with his own strength continually. Further kills of powerful cultivators—excluding Great Saints—would bring little benefit to the Heaven Slaying Blade.

After some time, the five women had nearly fully recovered.

Within the Celestial Mirror existed vast stores of various top-tier medicines, amplified further by the Chaos Furnace that constantly refined elixirs. Hongyue and Qi Xiaoyu, along with the others, each carried massive reserves of elixirs from the Chaos Furnace, so numerous that they were starting to wonder if it was excessive.

But the Chaos Furnace continued its refinery work… showing no signs of stopping.

Over these days, Chu Mo amassed countless spoils from battle. Regardless of the grade of the medicinal materials, he tossed them all into the Chaos Furnace…

For just one purpose—refining elixirs!

During this period, Chu Mo avoided interacting with the five women, as he needed to maintain his towering killing intent. Any communication with them could cause that killing intent to dissipate.

After more than ten days, the ferocious aura in Chu Mo's chest finally calmed, and those Beidou Sect elites left alive after his rampage now resembled frightened stray dogs, refusing to show their faces. Only then did Chu Mo retreat back into the world of the Celestial Mirror.

"How is the situation outside?" Hongyue asked as she looked at Chu Mo.

"It's over. Except for Patriarch Beidou, there's no one who can threaten us anymore." Chu Mo's face finally showed a smile.

The five incredibly beautiful women all relaxed a little.

Having spent years apart, they had countless thoughts to share, but upon meeting again, they found themselves unsure of where to start. The women all turned to Qi Xiaoyu.

Qi Xiaoyu chuckled, "Why are you all looking at me?" Then she turned to Chu Mo and asked, "Brother, why have you come here?"

"I came looking for a few things but didn't expect to find you all here too." Chu Mo smiled and sat down.

Afterward, everyone shared their experiences over the past years, though mainly it was Chu Mo speaking while the others listened. They were more curious about what Chu Mo had been through than their own hardships.

When they learned that Chu Mo had reunited with his parents in the Yanhuang Imperial Clan, the women were overjoyed.

Then Hongyue shared how, following the path left by the Demon Lord, they escaped the Yanhuang Realm and decided to seek opportunities in the Beidou Realm to enter the Trial Field.

"When we arrived at the Beidou Realm, we discovered that this world was astonishingly suitable for cultivation. The essence energy here is many times richer than in the Yanhuang Realm. So we decided to cultivate here first and build a solid foundation before heading to the Trial Field. However, just as Xiaoyu and I achieved sainthood, the Beidou Sect had already locked down the realm..." Hongyue sighed softly. "We didn't want to get involved in this world's conflicts and weren't aware of what had transpired. Yet in the end, we were dragged into it. And unexpectedly, you showed up here as well. Such a coincidence!"

"Yes, it truly is a coincidence." Chu Mo said, still feeling some lingering fear. If he hadn't arrived, the women might truly have been in danger. However, there was cause and effect in everything. If he hadn't come, it was unlikely that Patriarch Beidou would have been able to trace them.

Indeed, the mysterious power of karma in this vast universe was unfathomable.

"So, what's your next plan?" Hongyue asked Chu Mo softly.

"The items I'm seeking are still elusive, but I now know what Patriarch Beidou is after. Three of those items are in my possession. Hence, sooner or later, a confrontation with Patriarch Beidou is inevitable!" Chu Mo said.

"My heavens... You mean an inevitable battle with Patriarch Beidou?" The five women were startled.

Having spent far more time in the Beidou Realm than Chu Mo, they naturally had some understanding of the Beidou Sect and Patriarch Beidou. They knew that Patriarch Beidou was a truly terrifying giant, the unrivaled ruler of the Beidou Realm.

While their confidence in Chu Mo was nearly blind trust, they couldn't help but wonder—could Chu Mo truly face Patriarch Beidou?

Chu Mo saw their worried expressions and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry—I never fight unprepared battles. You can rest here and recuperate. In this place, as long as you don't have breakthroughs, no one will be able to find you."

The women nodded. They didn't ask about the nature of this world. Judging from the seemingly ocean-like lake and the myriad auras it exuded, it was evident that this was no ordinary place.

Chu Mo offered no explanations and refrained from further catching up with them. Instead, he exited the world of the Celestial Mirror directly.

He then headed toward a location he'd passed while rescuing the women earlier—a location where a blood moon should be waiting.

Several days later, Chu Mo returned to the area he'd previously passed and began using the Fengshui Divine Art to deduce its secrets.

Soon, he pinpointed the location: a range of enormous, boundless mountains.
