Ch 285: Dao Ancestor’s Plan? Chu Mo: Sorry, I’m Flipping Your Chessboard!
The Dao Ancestor’s face was serene, as always, as he sat cross-legged upon his divine throne.
He seemed to be the embodiment and condensation of the Great Primordial World. The moment Chu Mo saw him… it was as if he saw the many Sages he had fought, his parents, Nezha, everyone he had met in his life…
But upon closer inspection, he found that his face was always the same.
“…What doubts do you have?” the Dao Ancestor asked gently.
“Why?” Chu Mo asked directly. Even though he didn’t ask a specific question… he knew that the Dao Ancestor understood what he wanted to ask.
“Why so many whys?” The Dao Ancestor shook his head and said faintly, “You are the eighth Sage of the world! This is the arrangement of Heaven and Earth… nothing more.”
Chu Mo appeared to be pondering on the surface, but in reality, he felt more and more that something was wrong. Wasn’t the Heavenly Dao the will of the Primordial World? So, in the final analysis, wasn’t this still the Dao Ancestor’s arrangement?
As thoughts flowed through his mind, Chu Mo asked again, “What can you tell me?”
The Dao Ancestor took a deep look at Chu Mo, and the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace suddenly swung open, “If that’s all… you should leave!”
After a slight pause, the Dao Ancestor sighed softly, “Of course, if you have any difficulties in your cultivation… you can ask me anything! After you leave, if you have other questions in the future, you can come again…”
The moment the door opened, although the Divine Thoughts of the Great Powerhouses still didn’t dare to probe in through the door, they could hear the voices coming from inside.
At this moment… they couldn’t be described with envy, jealousy, or hatred!
To this…
Chu Mo nodded understandingly, then his gaze sharpened, and terrifying primordial fire burned on his body, as if it were the embodiment of destruction—Chu Mo began to self-destruct.
This was the fundamental reason why he hadn’t completely fused the Six Sages’ Laws before! Once fused, it would be equivalent to him laying the foundation for his indestructible essence… even if he wanted to commit suicide, he couldn’t.
Dao Ancestor: “???”
“…What are you doing? Are you crazy?!” Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s emotions lost control for the first time. His face showed coldness, even it could be said to be hideous.
He raised his hand, and terrifying divine light permeated out at this moment, trying to forcibly suppress the primordial fire on Chu Mo’s body… However, it was useless!
In fact, Chu Mo, as an existence who wielded the Six Sages’ Laws with the body of a Quasi-Sage, was in a very dangerous state… especially since he was also trying to fuse the Six Sages’ Laws… The reason why he had been safe and sound in the past was only because he had too deep a control over these six Laws! To completely eradicate the risk, he had to fuse the Six Paths… using the Six Paths as fuel to condense his unique Great Dao…
But now, Chu Mo had voluntarily broken this balance. The Laws belonging to the Sage incinerated everything, destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth, beyond remedy…
Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn’t do it—
At least not when Chu Mo didn’t want to live, and was doing everything he could to use the divine energy in his body to fuel the Primordial Six Divine Flames.
“Damn it… you bastard! I order you… to stop!” The Dao Ancestor rose from his divine throne. At this moment, he seemed to be truly in harmony with the Great Primordial World that was close at hand, and his words became law.
The Purple Cloud Palace was trembling, and even the Great Primordial World was trembling… fully displaying the might of the Heavenly Dao!
However… it was useless. Like trying to hold down a gourd only for another to pop up… Chu Mo had too many Laws in his body. All of these hidden injuries erupted at this moment.
The Sages were dumbfounded at this moment: “???”
They vaguely realized… what exactly was happening inside! But they were unwilling to believe and accept it…
Even the Lord Lao, who had guessed that Chu Mo was going to make a big move, was completely dumbfounded at this moment. Your big move is suicide?
No, are you sick!
“…As expected! So that’s how it is.” Chu Mo didn’t have the slightest bit of anger or regret… He stared at the Dao Ancestor, who could definitely be described as having lost his composure, and suddenly laughed. This didn’t seem like someone who had no desires or demands from him at all…
So the answer was already very clear!
Chu Mo slowly closed his eyes, and the flames completely annihilated his body and soul…
Chu Mo completely disappeared from between Heaven and Earth.
The Dao Ancestor was silent in place for a long, long time.
He lowered his eyes, and finally, he still sat back on the divine throne…
The ancient and sacred gate of the Purple Cloud Palace slammed shut, as if everything had returned to its previous state.
◈◈◈
With just a blink of an eye.
Chu Mo then discovered that he had returned to the Heavenly Dao World. On his forehead, there was a brilliant seven-colored light lingering, sacred and vast to an unimaginable extent… but it couldn’t break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao World—
Or rather, this light could forcibly break open the Heavenly Dao World, which had not yet completed its transformation at this moment… but this forced breakthrough would inevitably cause damage, thereby causing harm to Chu Mo. So perhaps it was Chu Mo’s subconscious that suppressed the seven-colored luster?
“There’s no need to forcibly break it open… So, do I need to leave the Heavenly Dao World now… or use the Heavenly Dao Authority to open a gap?” Chu Mo was thoughtful. With a thought, he directly connected to Beyond the Heavens.
The brilliant divine light on Chu Mo’s forehead finally found an outlet at this moment…
Terrifying energy merged into his body at this moment.
“Should I say as expected…” Chu Mo didn’t care about the energy that had suddenly increased. For him, who controlled the Six Sages’ Laws, energy, or rather, realm, was no longer important! Even if he didn’t condense a Heroic Spirit, with the basic energy he had now, he could forcibly seize all the surrounding energy that could be seized in the Main World or when entering the Primordial Void, forcibly allowing himself to break through to the most absolute peak of the Quasi-Sage.
This was the power and terror of the Sage! For existences at this realm… the Laws and Principles engraved in their hearts, as well as the Primordial Qi that served as the foundation for their Dao, were the most important… What about the others? They didn’t matter?
As for whether directly breaking through to the peak would affect the foundation… Sages didn’t have the problem of a foundation! Or rather, the Laws and Principles they controlled were their foundation, their everything!
What Chu Mo was most concerned about now was the Six Sages’ Laws that were still operating in his body, and… the Primordial Black Qi seized from Black Sky!
The Primordial Black Qi had previously resided in the Doors of Time, so it naturally returned with Chu Mo as well.
“If I want to now! I can directly become a Sage.” Chu Mo thought for a long, long time.
He narrowed his eyes, “However, this step… needs to be cautious… Dao Ancestor.”
After a long, long silence, he laughed, but with a hint of sigh, “The worst possibility I guessed before… has finally been verified!”
Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Mo’s mind. The Dao Ancestor confirmed that he would die in the future, confirmed that Chu Mo would become the second generation Heavenly Dao, and even though he saw Chu Mo committing a great crime, he still acted as if nothing had happened… Even when attacking the Heavens, who was suspected to be an incarnation of the Dao Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor didn’t care either.
If it was a long time ago, Chu Mo might not have been able to figure it out, but after seeing… the many Sages returning with the help of Heroic Spirit Awakeners… he realized one thing!
“If the Dao Ancestor, wants to revive in my body, the second generation Heavenly Dao… then everything that can’t be explained… can all be explained!” Chu Mo smiled silently. Although he couldn’t quite understand, in the absence of him awakening the Dao Ancestor’s Heroic Spirit… what would the other party use as a medium…
But then again, Chu Mo pondered. According to the information he obtained from the Sage’s Heroic Spirit… they were seized when they reached the peak of the Quasi-Sage and advanced to the Primordial Void…
In other words, this seizure had a lower limit… it couldn’t be done at any time!
Based on the Dao Ancestor’s strength, which was more powerful than the Six Sages, it was likely that the Dao Ancestor could only perform the seizure after Chu Mo became a Sage! This could explain why the Dao Ancestor paved all the roads for Chu Mo to become an existence comparable to a Sage…
◈◈◈
“Hmm?” Chu Mo belatedly realized, and with a subtle expression, sensed the Primordial Black Qi in his mind. The medium wouldn’t be this thing, would it… The more Chu Mo thought about it, the more reliable it seemed!
Shaking his head, Chu Mo threw the cluttered thoughts out of his mind. So what’s next was…
“To demonstrate it! And then…” Chu Mo took a step and directly entered the Main World.
He hung high in the sky, his expression peaceful and serene. The cultivation that was infinitely close to the Sage Realm flowed through his body, allowing him to catalyze his Heavenly Dao Authority to the extreme. Even the authority of the Time Traveler seemed to be affected by some kind of traction at this moment, resonating and trembling slightly…
“…No, there’s even this kind of unexpected surprise?” Chu Mo was a little surprised. He vaguely saw a River of Time. Although it wasn’t as clear as when he stood on the River of Time before, he could still barely see the past and the future.
And at this moment… he sensed the abnormal time and location that was about to happen!
“…Three days later! Kunlun Sky Road?” Chu Mo was thoughtful. But then, he realized that the Kyoto World City he had descended upon at this moment was extremely quiet!
“? What happened?” Just as the confusion arose in his heart, Chu Mo understood everything with the feedback of the Heavenly Dao Authority. The commotion he had made when awakening the Heroic Spirit before… was too big, too big.
It shook Kyoto, no, Divine Province… or more accurately, the entire known Eastern and Western World Cluster!
Not to mention the residents in various cities, even the beasts in the wilderness that had not yet developed spiritual intelligence, and even those Chaos Beasts that were still wreaking havoc in the Primordial Sea, were silent at this moment because of that terrifying power.
Rather than being quiet due to shock, they were now… more like they were in fear!
Shaking his head, Chu Mo didn’t say anything more and stepped out step by step. He crossed one Great World after another and came to a towering, unimaginably huge Divine Mountain that truly pierced through the heavens and the earth…
“Next, is to wait!”
◈◈◈
Three days later.
Kunlun Mountain Peak.
The Master of Heaven drank alcohol, caressed the Qingping Sword in his hand, and yawned, “How boring!”
Emperor Guangwu of Han served behind him, lowering his head, his face full of respect, without interjecting.
“Damn it, things have become so big! Why don’t two or three big boss-level invaders come out to relieve my boredom?” The Master of Heaven muttered. After awakening the Heroic Spirit, he also inherited the Master of Heaven’s warlike nature.
Although Emperor Guangwu of Han was still respectful, he still forcibly suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. To let you have a good fight… wouldn’t this fight be able to affect several Northwest Great Worlds in a continuous stretch, and even Shaan Yu would be affected.
Suddenly, the Master of Heaven’s movements stopped. He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty, “This feeling… Could it be… Impossible!”
The Master of Heaven didn’t hesitate to summon the Four Heavenly Swords.
But the next moment, an extremely strange Law fluctuation was released. The Kunlun Sky Road trembled violently at this moment, and then burst out with endless Primordial Light. These Primordial Lights permeated the void, completely turning the surroundings of Kunlun Mountain into an environment similar to the Primordial Void.
“…You should have run away!” A playful voice rang out.
The Master of Heaven’s pupils slowly dilated.
He lowered his head in disbelief and found that his chest had already been pierced through at some point.
“…This, this kind of thing, how could this… Wait a minute… So that’s how it is!”
The Master of Heaven turned his head with difficulty and saw a black figure, as well as a scarlet figure, and a pure white figure… It was actually, these three… Hahahaha, he didn’t lose unjustly! He didn’t lose unjustly.
“…Don’t waste any more time!” The white figure said coldly.
“Don’t, don’t… Although it’s fake! But, in the end, it’s the predecessor of that guy, the Master of Heaven… I’m thinking, can I seal this guy up!” The black figure smiled helplessly, and then said with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Why are you urging me?”
“The Black Emperor’s body I used to descend… is gone! So only the White Emperor and Red Emperor you are now relying on can enter the Main World!”
Speaking of this, Black Sky’s emotions couldn’t be raised either, and his eyes were gloomy. Although he had reached a cooperation with his two companions… it was very clear that this verbal cooperation had limited binding force in the face of the extremely large benefits that could be obtained in the future!
In the end, even if he was given a share of the reward from this harvest, it would likely be pitifully small…
“How boring, then I don’t care…” Red Sky, who was relying on the Red Emperor’s body, only said half of his words.
Because in the next instant, three auras that were so terrifying that they couldn’t be described with words erupted and vented out at this moment.
“Four Demon Slaying Swords! Unite! Forbidden!”
“Jade Purity Purple Void High Sublime Supreme Primordial Emperor Great Dao Lord True Body!”
“Dao! Virtue!”
Everything seemed to be in annihilation.
The expressions of the three Heavens suddenly changed. They wanted to quickly counterattack. However, it was too late…
After all, two of the Heavens were relying on the bodies of Emperors, and their essence was still very different from that of a Sage… And Black Sky, who had come in person, the Sage methods he was showing at this moment were actually castrated versions!
Even if he used great Dharma Power to let the Primordial Void permeate the Kunlun Mountain Peak, this was still the Main World in the end… He could be strictly said to have used it cleverly!
And on the opposite side… he couldn’t understand. That was undoubtedly the power of a true Sage!
But, why… could there be an uncensored version of the Sage’s power? After the Black Emperor’s invasion and intervention, wasn’t the Main World only able to bear Quasi-Sages…
It couldn’t be that the opposite side used the Quasi-Sage Realm to unleash an attack of the Sage Realm, right?!
In just an instant, the two Emperor figures who were relying on the Ancient Heaven shattered. They were directly annihilated…
Black Sky flew out backwards, his body covered with dense traces, and the waves he stirred up shattered the void… But he reappeared in place in the next breath.
Black Sky looked somberly at Chu Mo, who was smiling behind the three terrifying existences, and the Master of Heaven and Emperor Guangwu of Han, whom he was holding in his two hands respectively.
