If Chu Mo today is not candid because of him, the Demon Lord would truly be disappointed!
People should live with fear in their hearts. It is only natural to show respect in the face of formidable things.
But this doesn't apply to cultivators!
The path of cultivation is rough and uneven. How can one talk about cultivation without a truly fearless heart? It'd be better for them to comfortably live as a wealthy mortal, so why bother embarking on this lonely and harsh path?
Therefore, the Demon Lord brought Chu Mo to Longevity Heaven today not to help him clear all obstacles, but to give Chu Mo his final test before he leaves!
Chu Mo did not disappoint him.
In Zhao Hongzhi's gaze toward Chu Mo, there was a touch of disbelief. At the same time, he could hear the seriousness and persistence in the boy's tone, which brought an unprecedented fear deep in his heart.
This boy had only used a year to jump from the second level of the Yellow Rank—a warrior akin to an ant—breaking through the Primordial Pass and reaching the Iron Bone Realm. And all this was far from his limit. As a cultivator at the peak of the Understanding Heart Realm, his insight was not lacking.
But how could such a genius have escaped his eye at the time?
When Chu Mo arrived at Longevity Heaven a year ago, he plainly seemed to be a boy of mediocre talent. How had he undergone such a huge transformation in just one year? Could it have been this unfathomable man who changed Chu Mo's destiny?
At this thought, Zhao Hongzhi's heart leaped as if struck by lightning.
Then, he stared at the Demon Lord in shock: "The man who came with him to Longevity Heaven...that was you? It was you who...sealed off his natural talents?"
The Supreme Elder sitting on the side could not help but sigh inwardly. To only realize it now, this man truly was slow.
Then, a bitter smile formed on Zhao Hongzhi's face: "No wonder...no wonder...it wasn't my lack of discernment, but you had concealed his natural talent…"
With that, Zhao Hongzhi turned to the Supreme Elder: "Supreme Elder, did you see? I was also deceived by this expert. How could I possibly have driven away such a unique genius if I had known?"
"If my Master had not concealed my natural talent, you would have kept me in Longevity Heaven and let me quietly die after a year or two, wouldn't you?" Chu Mo looked at Zhao Hongzhi and softly said, "At that time, I swore at the foot of Lonely God Peak that one day I would smash this decaying gate of yours! But before that, Zhao Hongzhi...I will kill you, the ungrateful beast, first!"
The Demon Lord didn't bother with any nonsense, only throwing a casual glance at Zhao Hongzhi.
Zhao Hongzhi suddenly let out a scream. He felt a heavy lock appear in his elixir field, immediately sealing most of his power.
His face was full of fear, and he roared, "What are you doing?"
Now, the Supreme Elder couldn't keep his composure any longer. He looked at the Demon Lord: "Friend, are you really going to throw a rampage on Lonely God Peak?"
The Demon Lord looked at the Supreme Elder: "I didn't want to do this, but your attitude has made me change my mind. If my disciple says he's an ungrateful beast, then he is one. If my disciple wants to kill him, then he must die!"
"You are going too far..." The Supreme Elder's face turned ashen and he glared fiercely at the Demon Lord.
However, before he had finished speaking, he felt a chilling aura envelop him. The cold aura even made his innate realm body tremble uncontrollably.
The last word stuck in his throat and his face turned full of shock as he stared at the Demon Lord. He couldn't help but be horrified: This isn't supposed to happen!
Although they were both at the innately coveted realm, even if the man in front of him had reached the peak, he shouldn't possess such power!
As the Supreme Elder of Longevity Heaven, his knowledge was much more extensive than most. When he was young, he had seen some very old books in his sect.
They contained legends about the Spirit Realm. The reason they were called legends was that no one could confirm that the stories were real, he himself didn't believe them either.
But now, looking at the man in black robes in front of him, his methods reminded the Supreme Elder of the legends he had read in the past. It seemed...similar!
Longevity Heaven's head, who had already retreated and was far away, could sense that something had happened on the mountaintop. However, considering the Supreme Elder's authority, no one dared to be presumptuous. They could only wait anxiously.
Meanwhile, from several places within the 'ever-young' mountain, strong waves of energy were perceived as if something was agitated.
At this point, the Demon Lord said lightly: "If you don't want to die, stay put in your coffin!"
Bang!
Several colossal auras erupted from different locations in the 'ever-young' mountain.
Then, all of Longevity Heaven seemed to tremble as if there were an earthquake.
From deep within the 'ever-young' mountain range, an angry voice echoed: "Who dares to invade Longevity Heaven?"
After that, four pale, yellow, hazy sword auras came from different directions aiming directly at the Demon Lord!
Natural Mastery!
Even the head of Longevity Heaven had no idea that so many masters of the natural realm existed within Longevity Heaven!
Only those at the natural realm could evoke such shining yellow aura in their moves!
One of the sword auras, like a yellow line, nearly solid as it raced across the sky, aiming directly at the Demon Lord's head.
The Supreme Elder bulged his eyes and roared: "Don't…"
But it was too late. The four sword auras had reached the Demon Lord's front in the blink of an eye.
The Demon Lord's face remained expressionless. Such an attack was as light as a feather to him!
Therefore, he didn't even bother to dodge!
He allowed the four yellow hazy sword auras to strike him.
"Die!"
A cold voice came from afar.
And then...
There was no 'then'.
The four sword auras vanished as if they had entered the sea. They couldn't even create a gust of wind because the Demon Lord's clothes showed no change.
"This is the manner of your Longevity Heaven?" The Demon Lord said indifferently and then casually waved his hand.
Thump!
Deep within the 'ever-young' mountain, the figure that had just risen was directly blown apart.
"No!" The Supreme Elder screamed, "Master!"
The one whose body was shattered by the Demon Lord was the Supreme Elder's own master!
This news left everyone in Longevity Heaven in utter shock. At the same time, the disciples of Longevity Heaven, who didn't even know what was happening, had a vague feeling of impending disaster.
"I beg you, stop!" The Supreme Elder pleaded with the Demon Lord: "I will give you an explanation…"
"It's too late!" The Demon Lord said, and successively pointed in three other directions.
Boom, boom, boom!
Three explosions sounded as they erupted from above the 'ever-young' mountain range. (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it and purchase monthly tickets on qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users can read it on m.qidian.com.)
