He gently stroked the blade of Heaven Slaying and softly asked, "Heaven Slaying, can you retrieve it yourself?"

Humm!

Heaven Slaying trembled once more, emitting a buzzing sound.

Chu Mo knew that he was too weak now, unable to truly unleash the full power of Heaven Slaying. He might not even be able to harness one ten-millionth of its capabilities.

"I have wronged you by keeping you with me," Chu Mo said softly.

Heaven Slaying let out another clear resonate hum, as if replying, leaning gently towards Chu Mo, as if to comfort him.

"Alright, I'm not someone who gives up so easily. Go, bring it back!" Chu Mo patted the blade of Heaven Slaying.

Clang!

Heaven Slaying suddenly burst forth with a strong aura, soaring into the sky in an instant, disappearing with a flash.

Then, Chu Mo turned towards the direction where the Demon Lord and the others were fighting, and started running swiftly.

Though I can't reach your side so swiftly, I am trying my hardest!

Above the wasted land, a figure dashed at high speed, continuously crossing over wide and deep chasms, sprinting towards the target.

...

In the Heavenly Realm, within a vast jungle, there lay a desolate Guiding Land.

Normally, the Guiding Lands of the Heavenly Realm are not this desolate, for every year, a large number of practitioners from the Immortal Realm ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Those who undergo celestial ascension through the Heavenly Tribulation are generally welcomed by the powers within the Heavenly Realm.

In the Heavenly Realm, transitioning from the ascension phase to the great Luo Jinxian does not require undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation.

Of course, there are brave ones who trigger the Heavenly Tribulation themselves. If they are successful, their cultivation and understanding of Tao will indeed be superior to those of the same realm who did not undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. But if they fail... they may turn to ash and vanish, disappearing completely between Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, the Guiding Lands of the Heavenly Realm are typically thronged with many people waiting there.

But this place has no one.

For this is a land of great peril!

More than three thousand years ago, this place was bustling and not known as a perilous land. However, since a malevolent beast arrived, it turned into a land of death. Almost no one dares to set foot here lightly.

And for those cultivators from the Immortal Realm who ascend to this place, very few are able to walk out of this perilous land alive.

Because whenever a cultivator ascends, the Guiding Land emits fluctuations, which the malevolent beast senses and promptly arrives. The moment the cultivator successfully appears after ascending, the beast strikes immediately. It kills the cultivator in one fell swoop and devours them.

Over the past three thousand years, countless ascendants from the Immortal Realm have unjustly died such deaths.

Today, this Guiding Land once again emitted fluctuations.

Not long after, a creature the size of a domestic dog, covered in multicolored fur looking like a canine, appeared like a shadow.

Sitting beside the Guiding Land, its ferocious eyes stared fixedly at the spot, and its tongue kept darting out to lick its lips, showing a ravenous appearance.

Next, a slight ripple emanated from the Guiding Land, and a figure dressed in a blue skirt started to materialize.

Whoosh!

This multicolored-furred canine creature had no hesitation whatsoever, and as it had done countless times over the past three thousand years, it lunged straight for the apparition!

"Scram!"

As the figure appeared, it saw the canine creature and, without any hesitation, raised a hand and struck it with a slap.

"A mere human who has just ascended from the Immortal Realm... dares to be so arrogant?" In the eyes of the canine creature, a very human-like disdain even flickered.

It didn't care at all about the human's counterattack and simply opened its mouth, aiming directly for the human's throat.

Slap!

The woman in the blue dress slapped the canine creature so hard that it let out a howl.

Howl!

Its body rolled and flew out, crashing through several dozen towering trees before landing on the ground.

Blood flowed from the canine creature's mouth, half of its dog face... almost smashed to pieces by that slap.

Then, the woman in the blue dress walked step by step toward the canine creature, her eyes flickering with astonishing dark energy, upon closer inspection, it looked as though a bottomless abyss was drifting within that darkness.

"A dog dares to bully me?" The voice of the woman in the blue dress was extremely cold, as if emanating from millennia-old ice, and she quickly approached the canine creature, suddenly holding a pitch-black sword in her hand. The sword's edge emitted a chilling aura, pointing at the creature.

"Master, please don't kill me!" The canine creature suddenly spoke human language, then, twisting its body, it transformed into the form of a human, resembling a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with multicolored hair. And then, he knelt before the woman in the blue dress: "I was wrong... I am willing to become Master's servant, I beg for mercy."

"Servant? A mere true immortal realm dog dares to ask to become my servant?" The woman in the blue dress was overwhelmingly domineering, coldly looking at the boy with multicolored hair: "You might as well die."

"Ah... Master, don't kill me, I am very useful... really, I have many treasures, please spare my life!" The boy kept kowtowing, his eyes swiftly shifting about, desperately thinking of any value he might have.

"Treasures? Do you think I'm a beggar?" The woman in the blue dress sneered.

"I... I can gather information for Master; my nose is very sensitive. As long as I have smelled a scent, no matter how far, I can find it!" The boy said tremblingly, for he felt a strong intent to kill coming from her.

He didn't even have the chance to wonder why a person who had just ascended from the Immortal Realm possessed such terrifying strength and an aura so dreadful that it completely prevented him from harboring any thought of resistance.

"Sensitive nose? A dog is just a dog." The woman in the blue dress muttered very indifferently.

The boy wanted to correct her: I'm not a dog, I'm the Seven-colored Divine Wolf! But after giving it some thought, he still dismissed the idea, because he didn't dare. And now he awaited the arrival of his fate, not knowing whether it would be good or bad.

"Extract a strand of your primordial spirit and vow to forever loyally serve me. If you betray me, you shall be reduced to ashes." After waiting for quite some time, the woman in the blue dress finally spoke, her face indifferent and somewhat impatient.

The boy's face immediately stiffened. He wanted to protest, trying to say that he was a wolf, not a dog... a dog could serve humans, but a wolf wouldn't. But as he hesitated, the woman in the blue dress snorted coldly from her nostrils. Frightened, he shuddered violently.

"Fine, fine, I agree!" The boy said, directly offering a strand of his primordial spirit then using it to swear eternal loyalty to the woman.

Afterward, the woman in the blue dress took the strand of the boy's primordial spirit. Then her aura suddenly changed, dropping countless levels in an instant!

The boy stared at the woman in the blue dress, dumbfounded. It wasn't until now that he dared to take a real look at this master and suddenly realized that she was incomparably beautiful. But that wasn't the main issue, the thing is... the master seemed very weak!

"What are you looking at?" The woman in the blue dress gave him a cold glance, but at this moment, that look lacked the power it had previously.

This made the boy stand there in shock as he murmured, "Master, your strength..."

"What about my strength?" The woman in the blue dress responded indifferently: "I have just ascended from the Immortal Realm and have not yet truly broken through to the realm of a great golden immortal. Is there a problem?"

Spurt!

The boy suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the woman in the blue dress with a face filled with grief and indignation: "But just now... what happened just now?"

"It was just your illusion." The woman in the blue dress said blandly.

The boy froze, then began to recall. He remembered being sent flying upon the first encounter and suffering heavy injuries... heavy injuries? He suddenly realized that his body was entirely fine, showing no sign of any injuries.

"Ah... I... Howl!" Suddenly, the boy's face filled with anguish, and he let out a long howl to the sky.

Outside, a heavy rain poured, gushing down into rivulets, the roads becoming rivers, how on Earth do I get home?
