A million li under the Dugu Dynasty, a lone Dugu Mountain!
This saying describes the Dugu Family, which stood unyielding in the Spirit Realm for thirty thousand years.
In the Spirit Realm, there are no nations, only large and powerful clans and sects that have stood for countless years on this land of cultivation. Of course, there are also innumerable smaller families and sects.
The reason the Dugu Family is dubbed a dynasty lies fundamentally in their ancient ancestor who, thirty thousand years ago, indeed established a nation.
The Cultivation Kingdom!
Following the secular hierarchy, he designated vassals and demarcated territories.
Thus, from that time, the Dugu Family came to be known as the Dugu Dynasty.
However, the true dynasty had disintegrated more than twenty thousand years ago.
At that time, the entire Dugu Dynasty collapsed overnight. Countless high officials fled, numerous warriors vanished. Nobody knew what had exactly transpired that night. That turmoil was the most critical crisis faced by the Dugu Family in their thirty thousand years, almost leading to their complete extinction in the annals of the Spirit Realm.
But ultimately, they persevered.
They merely reverted from a dynasty back to a clan, yet every head of the Dugu Family retained the title of king.
This incident was yet another crisis for the Dugu Family, neither too big nor too small.
Indeed, even though Chu Mo's reputation was well established in the Spirit Realm, even though the preceding examples of the Ouyang Family, Fire Sect, and Ping Family were evident, in the eyes of the Dugu Family members, Chu Mo... still was not considered a significant threat.
"Even that tempest thirty thousand years ago didn't truly damage the primordial energy of the Dugu Family; what could a mere Chu Mo possibly do?"
Therefore, some people from the Dugu Family boldly declared that if Chu Mo dared to come to Dugu Mountain, they would certainly teach him that there are always higher skies and superior people beyond one's knowledge.
At this moment, Chu Mo arrived!
Alone, with a blade, he burst forth directly from the ambush laid out over thirty thousand li by the Dugu Family.
A trail of bloodshed!
On his way, Chu Mo slaughtered no less than a hundred Dugu Family experts!
Each one possessed peak Primordial Infant-stage capabilities.
From the moment Chu Mo stepped into the Dugu Family's territory, high-level cultivators constantly surged forward to ambush him.
Yet, very few were a match for Chu Mo in a single exchange.
Now, Chu Mo had made his way directly to the foot of Dugu Mountain!
At the base of Dugu Mountain, a colossal and ancient mountain gate stood, exuding an aura of age and antiquity, towering over a hundred zhang high!
Below it, one felt a sense of insignificance.
Above the mountain gate, on the ancient plaque, were inscribed the characters for "Dugu".
The writing was like swords, radiating endless sharpness!
Just like the Dugu Family's long-standing style—sharp and uncompromising!
In front of the gate stood a young man, appearing to be around thirty-five or thirty-six, his face adorned with a green stubble, tall and statuesque, with very handsome features. He held a long sword in his hand. Seeing Chu Mo approaching, he said, "My name is Dugu Qingfeng. On the Netherworld Road, do not forget my name!"
Dugu Qingfeng, a peerless Heavenly Genius of the young generation of the Dugu Family!
A young powerhouse with yellow bloodlines.
Known as the most outstanding genius in the Dugu Family in three thousand years.
Swish!
With a flourish of his sword, a streak of sword qi, like a long rainbow, swept toward Chu Mo.
Boom!
The void was directly cleaved, forming a twisted ripple.
An unusual force instantly formed there, then transformed into a terrifying power, tearing toward Chu Mo.
Chu Mo's Heaven Slaying blade gently swept across.
Netherworld Eighth Blade—Thunder Shock!
Crack!
In the sky, a thunderclap suddenly resounded.
This slash directly split the terrifying force that had advanced to his front in two. Skirting Chu Mo, it thundered toward the distance.
Where it passed, a terrible storm formed, grinding everything in its path into shreds.
Chu Mo's figure flashed, charging toward Dugu Qingfeng with Heaven Slaying in his hand flashing a dazzling light, immediately producing countless extremely sharp blade shadows in the void. Every single blade shadow... possessed peerless sharpness!
Charging toward Dugu Qingfeng to kill.
Dugu Qingfeng, calm and composed, continuously retreated backward, then directly took out a white jade gourd and roared at Chu Mo, "Capture!"
Boom!
An unmatched force instantly emitted from that gourd.
Chu Mo immediately felt an irresistible force enveloping him. He couldn't help but be slightly startled and looked toward the white jade gourd in mid-air.
Dugu Qingfeng, full of pride, stated, "White Jade Divine Gourd, a Heavenly Realm dharma instrument. Chu Mo, it's not only you who can obtain things from the Heavenly Realm! I have already joined a major family in the Heavenly Realm, and this gourd... was specifically given to me to capture you! No matter your physique, no matter your bloodline, today... you are doomed to die without a doubt!"
Buzz!
The Heaven Slaying in Chu Mo's hand first emitted a terrifying buzzing sound.
Crack! Crack!
Two cracks instantly formed on that white jade gourd.
Seeing this, Dugu Qingfeng was greatly frightened, and his complexion even changed. This gourd was obtained from the Zhuge Family in the Heavenly Realm. It was said to be an imperial master dharma instrument!
The enmity between the Zhuge Family and Chu Mo needs no elaboration. After learning of Chu Mo's identity, the Zhuge Family loathed him to the bone. They wished they could personally come down to capture Chu Mo and tear him to pieces.
Upon learning that Chu Mo had appeared in the Spirit Realm, the Zhuge Family directly found Dugu Qingfeng in the Illusionary God Realm, took him into the family, and bestowed upon him this imperial master dharma instrument, commanding him to trap Chu Mo inside the gourd and then hand him over to the Zhuge Family. By doing so, he would receive an amazing reward.
How could Dugu Qingfeng pass up such an opportunity?
Thus, he was eager for Chu Mo to come to the Dugu Family quickly so he could complete this task and go to the Illusionary God Realm to claim his reward!
In his view, no matter how powerful Chu Mo was or how unparalleled his combat prowess might be, facing a dharma instrument that did not require mana to operate, there was no chance of turning the tables!
But he could never have dreamed that the opponent's blade... would be terrifying to such an extent that merely by trembling lightly, the White Jade Divine Gourd actually cracked open with two lines.
With things having come this far, it was impossible for him to give up midway, so he could only grit his teeth and continuously chant mnemonics to activate the gourd, hoping to capture Chu Mo inside.
It must be said that this dharma instrument was indeed extremely powerful, to the extent that even Chu Mo felt like he might be sucked in.
But he forcefully resisted, though he also somewhat understood some things in his heart.
It seemed that news of his presence in the Spirit Realm had already spread out. Those Heavenly Realm cultivators with enmities against him seemed quiet on the surface, but they were definitely all watching him in secret.
This was just the Spirit Realm; expectedly, entering the Immortal Realm later, he would face even greater threats!
However, this did not instill fear in Chu Mo; rather, it roused his fighting spirit. Just a battle... what was there to fear?
This is precisely how I've been fighting my way up!
Be it the Spirit Realm or the Immortal Realm, anyone who dares to come to kill me must be ready to be killed!
Boom!
Chu Mo's body surged with a suddenly explosive aura, and an immensely heavy aura burst forth from his ancestral realm body. At that moment, Chu Mo was like a colossal star, unbearably heavy!
Although the White Jade Gourd had already successfully sucked Chu Mo up to the brim, it could no longer withstand such a heavy aura.
With a loud bang, it burst apart!
As powerful as it was, it could not possibly suck in an entire star!
After all, it was merely a dharma instrument activated by a crystal stone.
Dugu Qingfeng, with a cry, spit out a large mouthful of blood, his spirit instantly wilted to the utmost!
Chu Mo also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Although he had successfully held on, he was not unhurt. The Heaven Slaying in his hand swept across.
And Dugu Qingfeng's head flew high up into the air.
