Ch 158: Showdown with the Jade Emperor! Heroic Spirit Intervention… Chu Mo and the Red Emperor!

Chu Mo’s voice suddenly stopped, his expression strangely fixed as he gazed towards the sky.

In that instant, endless rosy clouds shimmered above the firmament, and a vast and magnificent heavenly gate slowly appeared.

At the very top of the heavenly gate, dragons and phoenixes danced in intricate carvings, forming three characters. These characters were not in any language of the present world, but everyone who saw them immediately understood their meaning.

“…South Heaven Gate?!” Yang Jian’s face turned extremely grim as he murmured, “Why is this gate appearing here… Wait, could it be!”

A terrifying giant hand suddenly burst out from the incomparably huge South Heaven Gate, pressing down towards Chu Mo with unparalleled might. Although the giant hand was decaying every moment, as if bearing the pressure of heaven and earth, it still possessed unimaginable power…

The Jade Emperor has made his move! Even if it means paying a terrible price, he has resolved to strangle this person! “Heaven has appeared?!”

“Wait… why is Heaven attacking His Majesty!”

“Could it be that His Majesty has done something that violates the immortals and gods?”

“Impossible, I don’t believe it! His Majesty cannot be wrong.”

At this moment, the faces of countless people in Great Ming turned unsightly, but their trust in Chu Mo remained unshaken.

Chu Mo’s expression did not change as he took a sudden step forward, causing the entire firmament to tremble violently at that moment. Terrifying ghost qi surged wildly around him, eventually transforming into a black wave that blotted out the sky, rushing towards the firmament.

“All the ghosts under Heaven, gather your power here!”

The ghost qi frantically corroded the giant hand that blotted out the sky. Although it was extremely large, it was precisely because of its size that it suffered even more terrifying suppression from heaven and earth. With almost no defense, the ghost qi easily penetrated it.

The existence above the firmament seemed to realize something, suddenly clenching its fist and constantly contracting it, transforming it into a huge, terrifying fist, carrying terrifying divine power capable of crushing thousands of Human Immortal Fifth Realm experts.

“Heroic Spirit Intervention…” A cold glint appeared in Chu Mo’s eyes, and his aura rapidly soared at that moment. He naturally chose the Great Ming Preceptor.

Five kinds of brilliant and sacred light constantly intertwined around him, evolving into supreme beings such as the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Phoenix.

As if they had come to life, they circled and roared around him. With Chu Mo’s thoughts, they rushed towards the firmament like spewing lava, carrying unparalleled destructive power. Cooperating with the ghost qi, they collided with the terrifying fist with a bang.

“Bang!”

The entire world seemed to be trembling, and the fist actually trembled slightly at that moment, cracks appearing on its skin.

Blood seeped out from the skin, pouring down from the firmament like a torrential rain. The further down it went, the larger it became. In the end, it encompassed an area of thousands of miles. Chu Mo sensed the terrifying killing intent within it.

This was like emperor fluid, but it was poisonous emperor fluid.

“…Refine!” Chu Mo’s expression was extremely solemn, and his hair took on a touch of crimson at that moment.

He raised his palm and released the seal on the merit within his body, but he did not use it to enhance his own strength. Instead, he used it to support himself in performing a supreme supernatural power.

“Supernatural Power: Red Emperor!”

The Red Emperor of the Five Emperors, said to have originated from Shennong. Extremely skilled in alchemy… Even though this one is not that Human Race Emperor, the characteristics of that Red Emperor have still been passed down through divinity.

At that moment, flames swept across the surrounding thousands of miles, colliding with the terrifying blood rain from the firmament. They constantly refined it, dissipating all the killing intent within it, only melting out the most essential part.

Allowing that trace of rain, carrying pure spiritual energy, to fall down.

Gentle drizzle, like a spring breeze, gentle and warm…

For thousands of miles around, countless cultivators and countless people all stared in astonishment and disbelief towards the sky. They felt such a magical rain.

The images in the minds of the world had not yet dissipated, so they all realized what had happened.

“This… could it be that the Official!”

“Fighting against Heaven, is this the legendary seizing the creation of heaven and earth?”

“Are we… are we all absorbing the creation of Heaven!”

“Damn it.” The existence above the firmament seemed to be furious about it, “Why are you unwilling to die so obediently! Why do you have to cause me so much trouble.”

Amidst the furious voice, the Jade Emperor extracted all the killing intent from his blood, sweeping towards Chu Mo from all directions.

A touch of solemnity appeared in Chu Mo’s pupils. He could sense the ferocity and resentment within it, and if it all came towards him alone, even using the Red Emperor’s flames seemed completely unable to refine it…

Therefore…

“Principle Investigation Method!” Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Mo’s mind, and he opened his arms, completely ceasing to defend.

“What?” Yang Jian’s expression changed drastically, “Are you crazy?!”

The Third Holy Mother clenched her fists, her face full of apprehension and worry.

As for the likes of Yue Fei, their expressions turned even more serious as they soared into the sky. Even if they felt that they might die from being affected, they still wanted to support Chu Mo.

However…

The ferocious qi tore apart Chu Mo’s body, but the terrifying resentment within it was constantly repairing Chu Mo’s body with the help of the Principle Investigation Method.

The only problem was that this extreme pain… was almost unbearable.

But Chu Mo was prepared for this. Point allocation, activate!

◈◈◈

【Tenth year, you constantly summarized the knowledge in your mind, combined with your own situation, and successfully developed the Realm of Painlessness!

Once this method is used, you will no longer be able to perceive pain, only having a sense of it when your life is on the verge of death. 】

Realm of Painlessness!

Chu Mo’s originally distorted face instantly smoothed out. He was calm and composed, gazing towards the firmament.

He still opened his arms, bearing the endless resentment and killing intent, like a saint who had borne all the sins of the world!

The vast Great Ming world was silent, and countless people stared blankly at the scene in their minds of Chu Mo playing against that terrifying existence.

Many people who had originally felt that the gods had taken action because the emperor had committed evil, and thus had other thoughts about Chu Mo, were now angry and ashamed.

“His Majesty is willing to bear the sins and evil thoughts that are corroding the world with his own strength! Yet we still slander him, suspecting that he has angered Heaven! I deserve to die.”

“That is clearly an evil god, not Heaven! The Mount Tai Sacrifice… the conferring of gods was successful, so Heaven must have approved of His Majesty.”

“Damn evil god!”

Countless people for thousands of miles around Mount Tai were now sobbing, “Your Majesty, don’t do this… you can’t bear it! Cast down those sins, your life is far more important than ours.”

Chu Mo was still maintaining the Red Emperor Great Supernatural Power, and the emperor fluid was still constantly falling, purifying everything.

“…How?!” The deafening voice from above the firmament carried a hint of uncertainty, before turning cold again, “Impressive! So this is your saintly method… but even so…”

“Wait… Red Emperor, you actually…” An extremely angry voice came from above the firmament, vaguely carrying a hint of disbelief. Terrifying firelight surged at that moment, entangling the entire South Heaven Gate.

Chu Mo’s pupils contracted slightly, and he finally discovered that the South Heaven Gate was actually collapsing out of thin air in the sea of fire. The giant hand and all the attacks disappeared at that moment.

The firmament became calm and sunny again.

Chu Mo stood in the sky, silent, as if nothing had happened.

Countless pieces of information intertwined in his mind, and he finally realized a certain possibility.

“Red Emperor… made a move?!”

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, why would he make a move? He had actually already made the worst plan, which was that if the Heroic Spirit Intervention time passed, and he used Heroic Spirit Intervention twice more, and the other side still refused to give up, he would simply escape to the Netherworld.

After all, as the new Netherworld Emperor, he controlled unparalleled power in the Netherworld. Even if the emperors of Heaven and the Buddhas of the West wanted to take action in the Netherworld across the mortal realm, they would probably be exhausted to death by him.

It was just… that way, the losses in the mortal realm would be unimaginable!

“Could it be… related to my Red Emperor Great Supernatural Power?” Thoughts flashed through Chu Mo’s mind, and he realized a certain possibility, his expression becoming extremely strange.

Although he had always regarded the Five Emperors as imaginary enemies, Chu Mo now realized belatedly that his divinity was not plundered from the Five Emperors of this era. Then, what would the Five Emperors think of him, a person with divinity, without losing their divinity?!

“…Innate divinity?” The corner of Chu Mo’s eye twitched.

Especially since he had also become an emperor. Thinking about it this way… perhaps in the eyes of the Five Emperors, he was actually considered a direct descendant of the Five Emperors who they had never met?

Considering it from this perspective, even the seemingly extremely outrageous thing of the Five Emperors taking action for Chu Mo did not seem completely incomprehensible.

Chu Mo was silent, but because he no longer operated it, the Mount Tai Sacrifice slowly came to an end. The brilliant and surging formation from before slowly subsided at that moment!

A divine light suddenly flashed, and Yang Jian appeared beside Chu Mo.

He was wearing silver battle armor, his heavenly eye blooming on his forehead, and he held a Three-Point Double-Edged Blade in his hand. It was clearly the most traditional image of Erlang Shen. This was not the unsealing of Erlang Manifesting Truth Lord’s divine position, but the divine position of the Lord of Guankou.

For him, having this divine position split from the Erlang Manifesting Truth Lord’s divine position was enough for him to display a corner of his full strength. Although because he was in the mortal realm, his cultivation was still at the Human Immortal Fifth Realm, he had not even dared to come to kill him before.

Seeing Chu Mo thinking, Yang Jian seemed to have misunderstood something, and exhaled lightly, “No need to worry… the more powerful one is, the greater the price they have to pay to interfere in the mortal realm! Especially if you were really attacked by one of those Five Emperors…”

Yang Jian pondered slightly, “At the very least, he would have to pay the price of one hand! This is not something that can be recovered in a short period of time… He may not take action again for the next ten years or even longer! Moreover, with this lesson, other top tycoons… will also be more cautious.”

“Is that so?” Chu Mo nodded. And the next moment, he and Yang Jian took action very tacitly.

“Five Emperors Great Supernatural Power!”

“Nine Turns Mysterious Art!!”

The terrifying aura erupted and swept across at that moment. The void was torn apart at that moment… One after another, immortals and gods who had suppressed their auras fell from the void.

Their faces carried panic and fear, not understanding why they, who were preparing to sneak attack, would be directly detected by the other party.

“Erlang Shen… you can’t do this!”

“Ahhhhh, don’t kill me! Don’t kill me.”

“Why? How could it be so strong?!”

They had all suppressed their realms to the Human Immortal Fifth Realm, and were vulnerable to Chu Mo and Yang Jian at this moment. Under the Five Emperors Great Supernatural Power that had evolved into a millstone, under the Three-Point Double-Edged Blade with its awe-inspiring killing intent—

Immortals fell like rain, and blood splattered on the earth…

The divine power within the bodies of the dead immortals erupted at that moment, sweeping towards all directions.

This actually caused the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth to begin to increase extremely quickly!
