Ten blood moons, nine have already returned to their positions. Now, only the final blood moon remains—Divine Mirror!

Thus, Chu Mo turned back once again.

The paths of Beheading and Unification returned without any waves, so Divine Mirror should fulfill its promise as well.

Patriarch Beidou, who had been stalking Chu Mo for so long, noticed him looping back once again. He sneered inwardly: Do you think this will allow you to escape my pursuit?

At this moment, he was unaware that Chu Mo already knew about his deliberate indulgence in allowing Chu Mo to gather strength. From Patriarch Beidou's perspective, Chu Mo was still trying every possible method to escape. But can he truly escape?

Setting everything else aside, just the skill Chu Mo demonstrated of "locating geomantic treasures" had Beidou salivating!

This ability, while possessed by apex figures, typically required immense mental effort and calculations. Yet Chu Mo seemed to locate such treasures effortlessly with a casual touch—far beyond ordinary.

And every location he identified was nearly always the most prime area in the entire Beidou Realm!

After ascending to the unparalleled level of the Ancestral Realm, even Patriarch Beidou required vast amounts of essence energy to continuously enhance his cultivation of the Dao.

Chu Mo once more returned to the underground palace where Divine Mirror dwelled. Divine Mirror glanced at Chu Mo without saying a word and then immediately unleashed a supreme aura of Dao Energy, crushing toward Chu Mo with overwhelming force!

Rumble!

The collision of Dao energies transformed this entire space into endless void.

An uncountable expanse of billions of miles, all following suit, disintegrated into oblivion.

The Beidou Realm was nearly pierced through by this single strike.

Chu Mo spat out a mouthful of essence blood with a cry, "Ah!" To his astonishment, a trace of black substance was within his blood. Even Chu Mo himself was stunned—he hadn't anticipated that impurities could still exist in his blood!

At the same time, the purple-gold bloodline within his body surged forth with the expelled blood.

Somehow, Chu Mo didn't feel any weakness, but instead sensed an entry into an entirely new realm!

It was as though his very soul had undergone significant sublimation in that instant.

Gazing at Divine Mirror with a look of surprise, Chu Mo inspected his own body and finally confirmed one thing: the royal bloodline of Luotian had completely vanished from his body!

Alongside it, the essence of the Chu Clan's bloodline had also disappeared.

In other words, although he remained the son of Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu—at least nominally—factually, with the expulsion of this mouthful of essence blood, not only had Chu Mo cleared and refined impurities from his bloodline, but he had also simultaneously refined away the bloodlines of both the Chu Clan and Ji Clan!

A complex mix of emotions filled Chu Mo. There was an intense, poignant sense of loss.

Meanwhile, back in the Luotian Immortal Domain, Ji Qingyu and Chu Tianji trembled slightly all over, exchanging looks of disbelief.

"Our child..."

"Chu Mo, he..."

The two spoke in unison, their eyes radiating profound sorrow.

"No! I must head to the Beidou Realm!" Ji Qingyu's tears began to fall uncontrollably.

"Wait, no. Try sensing again," Chu Tianji urged with steady calmness, looking at Ji Qingyu. "Mother and son are connected in heart; likewise, father and son share the same bond. He's still alive!"

Ji Qingyu paused briefly, then quieted herself. Narrowing her eyes slightly, she started focusing on sensing. After a long moment, she softly said, "You're right, but why do I feel this sense of having lost my son?"

"I feel it too," Chu Tianji murmured with a furrowed brow. "There must be a reason behind this. But for now, you and I can't step away…"

Ji Qingyu sighed deeply and spoke, "I just received news—those side branch members likely dispatched people to hunt down our son."

An icy chill and disdain flashed in Chu Tianji's eyes. "With just them? If our son were that easy to kill, he wouldn't have made it this far!"

"At this moment, I truly despise having this royal bloodline," Ji Qingyu sighed deeply.

Chu Tianji gently embraced Ji Qingyu. "Don't worry. Our child is destined to turn calamities into blessings!"

Ji Qingyu nodded slightly and leaned against Chu Tianji's shoulder.

Back in the Beidou Realm.

Chu Mo stared blankly at the essence blood floating in the void. Although it appeared to be just one mouthful of blood, the energy contained within could fill an enormous ocean!

Divine Mirror gazed at Chu Mo and suddenly said, "You still have a clone, don't you?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Mo asked in confusion, looking at Divine Mirror. At that moment, his aura reached an absolute peak, but the sensation of bloodline separation left Chu Mo disoriented.

"Whether it's the royal bloodline of Luotian or the Chu Clan bloodline, neither is as noble as your original bloodline. In truth, even without my actions today, you would one day have ultimately refined them entirely. So, there's no need for reluctance. Seal these bloodlines within your clone—he remains you, yet he's your parents' true son." Divine Mirror explained.

Chu Mo's eyes brightened. Although he could accept his nature as a soul from the Tunnel in his previous life, losing any semblance of blood connection to Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu left him profoundly saddened.

Afterward, Chu Mo summoned his perfect clone and, after refining the black impurities from the essence blood, he transferred it into the clone!

In an instant, the clone emanated an inexplicable, mysterious aura and gained an extraordinary sense of spirituality!

The clone's eyes snapped open suddenly, and he smiled brightly, cupping his hands toward Chu Mo: "Many thanks, Daoist friend, for fulfilling me!"

Chu Mo smiled wryly; this was, after all, his own thought—just spoken aloud by the clone.

Just then, above the endless void, tribulation clouds began to gather densely!

Chu Mo instantly understood the reason: the infusion of this essence blood into the clone had triggered the clone's supreme ascendant state—a need to transcend the Saint Tribulation!

The Saint Tribulation!

Chu Mo and Divine Mirror exchanged glances, and Divine Mirror's eyes brightened slightly as it seemed to have grasped something. It said to Chu Mo, "This is fate… It seems your current life truly holds promise. Since this is Heaven's Will, merge with this clone."

"What do you mean?" Chu Mo asked, slightly perplexed.

Divine Mirror sighed, "My power reveals the truth of all things, a gift you bestowed upon me in your previous life. This clone, infused with the essence blood you separated, has undergone an unimaginable transformation. Its future path of cultivation rivals even your own! This means… I was wrong: your parents' bloodlines combined have birthed a genuine peerless prodigy! Thus, if you now refine and merge with this clone, you can directly transcend the Great Saint Heavenly Tribulation. From there, you'll embark on an entirely unpredictable path—the same truth you once claimed yourself in the past. Alas, none of us believed you back then, but now… it's evident."

As Divine Mirror spoke, it transformed into a beam of light and flew into Chu Mo's chest.

As the tenth blood moon aligned, the entire Divine Mirror of the Firmament erupted with unfathomable energy and immeasurable radiance.

It ascended autonomously, enveloping the heavens within a hundred-billion-mile radius, forming an immense barrier of radiant defense.

Coincidentally, it blocked Patriarch Beidou from entering.

The firmament's Divine Mirror Spirit spoke directly into Chu Mo's spiritual sea: "Focus on merging with the clone and transcending the tribulation. Patriarch Beidou cannot enter!"

Chu Mo trembled slightly, then his vision gradually cleared.

He looked at the clone, and the clone looked back at him.

They were already one entity!

Divine senses synced, spirits unified—they were the same person!

Thus, merging into one was effortless, as natural as flowing water!

They exchanged smiles and advanced toward each other. Their forms seamlessly fused into one.

Boom!

Above, the infinite firmament erupted as a terrifying heavenly thunder descended!

The Great Saint Heavenly Tribulation!

Directly manifesting as the tribulation of the Great Saint Realm!

Moreover, the tribulation Chu Mo faced far surpassed the terror any cultivator had ever encountered when transitioning from Saint to Great Saint Realm!

Even Patriarch Beidou, hundreds of billions of miles away, was shocked. He frowned as he gazed at the distant storm clouds within the heavens, then glowered at the radiant barrier the Divine Mirror emitted. With a cold snarl, he growled, "You want to transcend the tribulation? Dream on!"

He struck out with a massive blow!

Contained within his attack was the boundless force of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. In this moment, it seemed as though the entire Beidou Realm's power had concentrated within Patriarch Beidou himself.

This was the confidence behind his indulgence of Chu Mo!

As the ultimate ruler of Beidou Realm, as the most powerful sovereign of this vast world, all the energy of this domain was under his command!

Patriarch Beidou concentrated this force to strike at the Divine Mirror's defensive shield, attempting to disrupt Chu Mo's tribulation efforts and prevent him from stepping into the Great Saint Realm!

A radiant light surged forth from Patriarch Beidou.

********!

Throughout the Beidou Realm, this singular ray of light expanded relentlessly.

In an instant, it engulfed the entirety of the Beidou Realm.

Then, the continents of Beidou Realm shattered in an instant; the regions nearest dissolved completely, vanishing without a trace!

Far-flung areas, mountains collapsed, dragon veins crumbled, and fissures tore through the land… The devastation was absolute.

Entirely reminiscent of the ancient destruction of the Yanhuang Realm, Patriarch Beidou's strike obliterated the entire Beidou Realm!

Countless beings turned to cosmic dust in this instant, their spirits, their Dao, and their blood energy becoming rivers of power flowing toward Patriarch Beidou.

The surging energies flooded into Patriarch Beidou's body!

Patriarch Beidou's aura grew even more overwhelming! His form radiated the divine brilliance reserved for apex figures!
