Anyone would collapse under such circumstances. This feeling is simply too despairing. Years of meticulous planning and efforts ended up like fetching water with a bamboo basket—empty in the end. For any person, it would be almost impossible to accept this reality.

Patriarch Beidou, already known as a man of great composure, is an extraordinary figure by any measure. As the true ruler of his domain, his wisdom, temperament, and vast experiences were unmatched by ordinary individuals. Yet, even he couldn't endure this kind of blow.

His hatred for Chu Mo had reached an unparalleled level.

Standing in the void, Patriarch Beidou glared at the figure undergoing tribulation behind the curtain of light, his eyes filled with endless venomous resentment.

"Even if I can't claim this opportunity, you... Chu Mo, you shall never have it either!" Patriarch Beidou spat venomously, and without hesitation, he attacked the curtain of light. He refused to believe that the dharma instrument could continuously release such powerful defensive radiance.

No matter what, he would never willingly allow Chu Mo to successfully transcend the tribulation and refine these seven stars. He knew better than anyone how pivotal these seven stars were. He was fully aware that once Chu Mo refined them, Chu Mo's realm would soar to an astounding level instantly. It might even rival his own!

BOOM!

Patriarch Beidou unleashed a ferocious strike against the curtain of light, a blow powerful enough to sink an entire domain.

Yet, the curtain of light merely rippled faintly, and the disturbance was so weak it bordered on despair. Still undeterred, Patriarch Beidou intensified his relentless assault on the curtain.

BAM!

BAM!

Again and again, the apex power of a Great Saint Realm cultivator in full force was simply a stunning sight to behold.

Even from an incomprehensible distance, one could clearly see the catastrophic scene—the universe seemed to plunge into apocalypse!

Within the curtain of light.

The seven stars had all surged into Chu Mo's body, arranging themselves within his elixir field before explosively unleashing incomparably dense power that propelled Chu Mo's realm upward continuously.

While Chu Mo's Great Saint Heavenly Tribulation had yet to conclude, his cultivation had already pushed straight into the late phase of the Great Saint Realm. Such a breakthrough—across ten thousand ages—Chu Mo was undoubtedly unrivaled!

No one had ever broken through to the Supreme Realm as effortlessly as Chu Mo did.

At least, within this Luotian cosmos, such a phenomenon had never occurred before.

Outside, Patriarch Beidou frantically attacking the curtain of light could even feel the terrifying aura emanating from Chu Mo through the barrier. In fury and despair, he let out a thunderous, wretched roar, pouring his strength into a ferocious strike against the curtain once more.

This time, the ripples on the curtain quivered slightly more dramatically.

Within the light curtain, the furious thunder tribulation transformed into a boundless Thunder Sea, and this time, amidst the Thunder Sea, a strange silhouette faintly emerged!

Patriarch Beidou instinctively halted his assault, staring in disbelief at the nebulous figure within the Thunder Sea through the radiance.

Since when did living entities appear within heavenly tribulations?

At that moment, the figure within the tribulation clouds suddenly conjured a spear—a weapon entirely formed from condensed lightning—and aimed it directly at Chu Mo… unleashing an attack!

BOOM!

With an earth-shaking roar, the lightning-born figure casually struck Chu Mo, sending him flying.

Even across an unfathomable distance, Patriarch Beidou witnessed Chu Mo coughing up blood!

Moreover, with the figure's single strike, even the light curtain shielding Patriarch Beidou trembled violently!

"Ah-ha… hahahaha!" Patriarch Beidou erupted into maniacal laughter, his entire being suddenly enlightened. Years of pent-up frustration melted away, unleashing an intoxicating sense of catharsis he hadn't felt in countless years.

Soon, though, he saw that despite being sent flying by the entity's blow, Chu Mo wasn't gravely injured. He swiftly climbed to his feet, wielding his blood-red Heaven Slaying, and launched into battle with the figure.

Patriarch Beidou's laughter gradually faded. His expression turned somber, his gaze fixating on the ferocious clash between the two, as his eyes shimmered with indecisive light.

BAM!

The lightning-forged figure struck horizontally within the Thunder Sea, unleashing attacks that Chu Mo struggled to fend off. Yet, Chu Mo's growth was visibly rapid!

He was swiftly adapting his combat techniques, adjusting to the sudden elevation within the advanced Great Saint realm. Although the entity within the tribulation was overwhelming, forcing him into a position where he barely parried—Chu Mo wasn't seriously hurt. On the contrary, he was gradually regaining ground!

"This…" Even though Patriarch Beidou despised Chu Mo with every fiber of his being, at this moment, he couldn't suppress a begrudging acknowledgment of the young man's unparalleled talent!

He seemed to be a cultivator born for cultivation itself!

His comprehension of the Dao was far beyond what ordinary minds could fathom.

BOOM!

Another massive collision erupted as Chu Mo and the entity clashed fiercely once more.

No embellishments—just sheer, brutal ferocity at its peak!

Anyone witnessing this battle would feel their blood ignited, as if their veins burst into flames from sheer adrenaline!

This time, Chu Mo retreated a dozen steps. In contrast, the lightning figure also staggered back two or three steps!

The terrifying shockwaves from their battle pounded the light curtain formed by the Celestial Mirror, causing it to tremble intensely. Yet, there was no hint of satisfaction on Patriarch Beidou's face!

It was terrifying!

The shockwaves from their battle had already surpassed the full-powered strike he himself could unleash!

The deeply humbling realization plunged Patriarch Beidou into another collapse. A youth who moments ago fell short of him had transformed utterly after the seven stars merged with his physique—advancing to an inconceivable level in mere moments!

Is there any justice left in the heavens?

If the Seven-Star Formation Diagram… were to fall into his hands next—would this person transcend to the realm of an ultimate existence? Would he emerge as a genuine youthful giant?

Consumed by maddened hatred, Patriarch Beidou spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next moment, he turned and fled!

He no longer cared to watch, nor did he wish to remain in this realm!

"Chu Mo, mark my words… Every humiliation you've inflicted upon me today—soon, I'll repay you a thousandfold! The Seven-Star Formation Diagram… you will never get it!" Patriarch Beidou's hateful voice reverberated throughout the Beidou Realm.

And then, his figure vanished into the cosmic void.

Within the light curtain, Chu Mo paid no heed to Patriarch Beidou's words. His entire being focused solely on the entity forged from lightning.

The creature was unimaginably terrifying. Without the seven stars merging into his body and his surge in power, a confrontation against this entity would almost certainly lead to his demise. However, if he had no seven stars at all, would this entity even have appeared? That was uncertain.

Regardless, the reality now stood before him; facing off against this harrowing opponent, Chu Mo had to summon every ounce of his strength and resolve to fight the most fearsome adversary of his life.

The figure remained nebulous, its features veiled. Its entire essence was composed of tribulation lightning. Each strike carried an aura of utter annihilation. Even those with slightly inferior Dao attainments might not need a direct attack—merely standing too close would result in instant obliteration!

Even those with profoundly advanced cultivation struggled against such a horrifying creature.

Chu Mo sustained himself and slowly turned the tides primarily due to his mastery of the thunderbolt Dao. Otherwise, despite his elevated realm and formidable power as an advanced Great Saint, he would still be unable to deflect the entity's onslaught!

Power suppresses skill.

This lightning-born entity was the epitome of that principle. From beginning to end, its attacks were devoid of flourish or finesse. It only executed a few straightforward moves.

Smash, stab, sweep!

And yet, those simple techniques were enough to sweep through the living beings of the Great Saint Realm!

Save for the ancestral realm's ultimate beings, there were likely few Great Saints capable of withstanding assaults of this caliber.

Within Chu Mo's elixir field, his thunderbolt Dao platform was spinning furiously, whirring with such intensity that the space surrounding it reverberated with Dao harmonics. The platform continually absorbed the entity's Dao, etching it deeply into its surface.

Now, the Dao platform bore countless esoteric runes. Each rune contained a terrifying, world-shattering power.

This… was Chu Mo's thunderbolt Dao!

A force of unspeakable terror!

The duel continued, with Chu Mo's Heaven Slaying endlessly harvesting energy from the entity.

For the Heaven Slaying, as long as it fought, as long as the opponent was sufficiently powerful, it could siphon away energy!

And thus far, no creature had ever been able to resist this draining.

Not even this entity born from a Great Saint-level tribulation!

The battle was grueling beyond measure. Chu Mo fought relentlessly for nine days and nights!

The Great Saint tribulation had long ended, and the tribulation clouds had dispersed—yet this entity, seemingly hellbent on interminable vengeance against Chu Mo, fought on, unfaltering.

Despite the pair now evenly matched—Chu Mo's combat prowess had even exceeded the entity's level—its ferocity remained undiminished. It refused to cease fighting.

On the tenth day, Chu Mo unleashed a strike that finally shattered the entity's spear. The broken weapon fractured into two immense bolts of lightning that appeared ready to dissipate across the void.

However, Chu Mo's thunderbolt Dao platform emitted an overwhelming suction force, drawing the two massive bolts straight into itself.

The entity, for the first time… found itself empty-handed against Chu Mo.

Under such conditions, how could Chu Mo hold back? He summoned the entirety of his strength and unleashed ferocious strikes against the entity.

By the fifteenth day, Chu Mo succeeded in slicing the entity into halves. Then quarters. As the mutilated being struggled to reconstitute itself, an immense force erupted from Chu Mo's thunderbolt Dao platform.

The entity was ultimately subdued.

Finally, Chu Mo's thunderbolt Dao platform bore a silhouette—holding a spear—though the figure appeared… even hazier than before.
