She initially thought the man was deranged, making such a ludicrous gesture. However, something came to her mind and her expression abruptly changed.

Indeed, as Chu Mo performed his playful act, a sudden violent wind arose in this windless golden world!

First, there was a loud bang!

In the mid-air, a brilliant flash of light burst out, followed by a ripple of energy waves exploding in all directions, visible even to the naked eye.

That wasn't all. An intensely cold murderous intent was directly locked onto the girl, bringing a breath of destruction and instantly arriving in front of her!

At that moment, just as the girl shouted, "that's bad," her words had hardly fallen!

Then, a beam of light burst out from the girl, releasing a hidden treasure emanating a powerful aura.

But just as this treasure appeared, it erupted swiftly and shattered into pieces.

The girl's body, like a kite severed from its string, was thrown forcefully into the air.

Thump!

Chu Mo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The color of his blood seemed unusually bright.

After spitting out this blood, Chu Mo's vitality drastically wilted, he was unable to stand up even with the support of the Heaven Slaying, he was half-kneeling there, panting heavily.

The blood he had just spat out contained a part of his own essence!

He took advantage of the good fortune to perform a special divine ability that required no arrows.

Yes, a divine ability!

Using his body from the ancestral realm, and the acquired realm, Chu Mo had forced out a divine ability.

But the cost was terrifying.

The essence blood that he spat out just now was equivalent to Chu Mo's cultivation accumulation of an entire year!

His realm would not fall as a result, but he lost a year's worth of his cultivation progress. And this was only because his constitution was indeed very robust!

Otherwise, his realm combined with this divine ability would lead to only one outcome, that is — death!

"Cough, cough…" Chu Mo let out a few coughs. The overwhelming sense of fatigue coursed through his body like a tide, prompting him to close his eyes and fall asleep right away.

But he could neither sleep, nor dare to sleep. God knows if that girl will come back and shoot him a few more arrows?

Block three arrows and acknowledge him as her master? Stop kidding! If Chu Mo would believe such a thing, he would be too naive.

His hands trembling, he swallowed a few elixir pills. They made him feel a tiny bit better, but any slight movement caused him to suffer excruciating pain throughout his body. The most critical aspect was that his mental energy had been consumed so much that his head felt like it was about to split open!

His entire head felt as if it was about to explode!

I've died hundreds of times…" Chu Mo clenched his teeth, his body trembling as he defiantly stood up from the ground. His body was unsteady, ready to fall at any moment, but he stood stubbornly on his spot.

Gathering his strength, he staggered in the direction of the girl, taking one step at a time.

Zhuge Lang stood at the foot of the small hill. His eyes had reddened. Retrieving a treasure from his possession and invoking the mnemonic, his figure disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, he appeared within the narrow space Chu Mo once emerged from. He too saw the stone coffin in front of him and felt the same crushing pressure.

Thump!

Zhuge Lang instantly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I, Zhuge Lang, was born with a congenital body! Although it's not a Daoist Realm body, my Emperor Realm flesh and blood are definitely not much worse... But I can't even resist this kind of pressure? I won't accept it!" Zhuge Lang roared, taking a step forward.

Ah, thump!

Another mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from Zhuge Lang's mouth, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

He didn't hesitate and took a second step.

This time, he didn't spit out blood but heard the sound of his own bones cracking.

Crack!

The shin of his right leg was fractured as he took the third step!

The pain caused Zhuge Lang's face to change instantly, but he didn't shout out in pain. But he didn't dare to take the next step.

Retreating three steps backwards, he sat down heavily on the ground. Sweat beads the size of beans poured down the bridge of his nose, his face incredibly pale.

With the strength of his body, he couldn't even take three steps!

"How is this possible? This Five Elements... it's not like nobody has acquired it in the past, those people's bodies couldn't possibly be much stronger than mine, why could they get it but I can't?" Zhuge Lang shakily stood up and continued towards the stone coffin.

This time, he managed to step four steps forward. Then he retreated again.

His eyes were now blood red. He ground his teeth and said, "That man must have touched this stone coffin. Otherwise, he couldn't have stirred the entire small world. Could he be a Daoist Realm body? If he can do it... I can do it too! Even if I have to crawl... I'll crawl there!"

As he spoke, he indeed began to crawl. But when he crawled to a distance five steps away, one of his arms snapped with a crack under the pressure.

This time, Zhuge Lang couldn't help but scream in pain, and he retreated again. Then he spat out two more mouthfuls of blood.

By now, both his legs and one of his arms were broken.

With his realm, recovery was not difficult. But to touch the stone coffin was even harder than reaching the heavens!

Though it was within grasp, he simply couldn't get any closer!

Zhuge Lang took out two more elixir pills from his body, swallowed them, then sat with legs crossed, running his cultivation method to heal his injuries.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and let out a cold laugh, "I'd like to see who can actually enter that place! Don't think just because you've entered, you'll definitely be able to retrieve the Five Elements Metal element! There is something extremely peculiar in that place!"

According to the information Zhuge Lang had, even though obtaining the Five Elements was extraordinarily difficult, it wasn't this arduous!

That is to say, there's more than just the Five Elements in the small world beyond the stone coffin!

It must also be hiding a vast crisis.

But where there is crisis... there certainly are vast opportunities.

Zhuge Lang was able to cultivate to this realm precisely because he understood this principle. So even though he can't go into the stone coffin, he would not leave. He wanted to see it with his own eyes—the moment the other one emerges from the coffin!

Then, he would kill him!

Often times, just because one obtained a treasure, it doesn't mean they could possess it.

...

Every step Chu Mo took was filled with excruciating pain, but he persevered, step by step, eventually coming face to face with the unconscious girl.

Standing in front of the girl, watching her curled up pitifully, Chu Mo had no sense of pity.

He couldn't even ascertain if the girl was human.

While it's true that other people could also enter this particular realm of Five Elements, who knows whether the girl came from outside or if she was a creature of this golden world.

Furthermore, she shot at him without asking any questions. Those who kill ought to be killed!

Chu Mo was no longer the naive boy he used to be. He lifted the Heaven Slaying sword in his hand, aiming it at the strikingly beautiful girl, and swung it down.

At this moment, the girl's eyes snapped open instantly.

"Master?"
