Chu Mo's face bore an increasingly serene smile, knowing that not even the Blood Demon Ancestor could stop Qi Xiaoyu's ascension now!

Tears streamed down Qi Xiaoyu's face amid the tribulation, her heart aching unbearably. If it weren't for her not wanting Chu Mo's efforts and sacrifices to be in vain, if it weren't for the fact that once the Heavenly Tribulation began, it simply could not be stopped on her own, she would have even felt the urge to stop and die together with Chu Mo at this moment.

"If you truly sacrifice yourself for my sake today, then one day, I will surely bring you back. And... the only reason for me to keep on living will be for vengeance! I will choose to fall into endless darkness!" Amidst the thunderous storm, Qi Xiaoyu's eyes fixated unwaveringly on Chu Mo, as she swore in her heart.

Boom!

Yet another massive and peerless heavenly thunderbolt targeted Qi Xiaoyu. But with the bolstering essence energy from the Endless Mountain and rivers beneath her, these thunderbolts... brought only one benefit to Qi Xiaoyu... body refinement!

Yes, Heavenly Tribulation body refinement!

This was an act all cultivators in the Spirit Realm would not even dare to dream of. Even in the Heavenly Realm, it was regarded as an extraordinary occurrence. And it was unfolding right here.

A faint glow began to enshroud Qi Xiaoyu's body, almost obscuring her figure from sight.

Chu Mo's face was adorned with a smile as he called out loudly, "Xiaoyu, remember, wait for me in the Immortal Realm! Don't ever fully succumb to the darkness. Even if you do fall into endless darkness... always remember that you still have me! I still want you to accompany me as we take in all the world's scenery! Remember... you still have me! No matter what you turn into, you are my woman! You are mine! Remember!"

"Wuw... I... will... remember!" Qi Xiaoyu's voice echoed from within the thunderstorm, laced with endless sorrow. Then with a thunderous roar... the sky erupted with a terrifyingly boundless power, instantly enveloping Qi Xiaoyu and causing her to vanish into the void.

"Aaaaagh!" The Blood Demon Ancestor finally broke free from his cage. Within tens of thousands of miles, the mountains and land crumbled into disarray the instant he emerged!

Boom!

The earth sank, and the mountains collapsed!

The first thing the Blood Demon Ancestor did upon breaking free was not to capture Chu Mo, but to madly assault the spot where Qi Xiaoyu had disappeared.

He actually tried to disrupt the tunnel to the Immortal Spirit Realm!

However, he was ultimately one step too late; everything he did was in vain.

At that moment, the Blood Demon Ancestor let out another fit of enraged howling, his entire demeanor that of a madman.

Chu Mo held the Heaven Slaying Blade calmly, standing in the void with a smile as he watched, "Before facing you, I had pondered countless outcomes, but each one... was actually a dead end. I never believed I had a chance of defeating you. In fact, it's true, I'm not your match. But even the fiercest of beasts... can fail when they hunt, right? Like now, the prey has escaped, hahaha, how does that feel?"

In his frenzy, the Blood Demon Ancestor turned back, his eyes bloodshot. His body erupted with terrifying blood energy which seemed to contain countless struggling souls. He extended his tongue to lick his lips, gradually calming down, and looked at Chu Mo: "Kid, you never worried about your own fate, did you?"

"My fate is naturally for me to dictate, you need not concern yourself," Chu Mo responded with a smile, looking at the Blood Demon Ancestor. "I'm rather curious though. If this incarnation of yours dies, will your true self feel the pain?"

"Me? My incarnation dying?" The Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes flickered with bloodlight, "Are you joking with me?"

"No, I'm serious. Look, this ferocious beast has now locked onto me, prey that was never in your target range. I can't escape now. Let's have a chat," Chu Mo kept a beaming smile while looking at the Blood Demon Ancestor, without a trace of fear on his face.

"You nasty brat, trying to recover now is meaningless. And as for entering the Phantom God Realm, it's absolutely impossible!" The Blood Demon Ancestor had completely sealed off the area the moment he broke free.

This seal could only be broken by a Heavenly Tribulation. But Chu Mo, obviously, didn't have the capability to go through a tribulation. He hadn't reached that stage yet.

"Old bastard, I guess you're right. I just wanted to discuss with you, if your incarnation dies here, would your true self know what happened?" Chu Mo asked cheerfully, "Surely you aren't too cowardly to satisfy even this bit of curiosity, are you?"

"Why should I satisfy your curiosity? You ruined my big plan, destroying the arrangement I've laid out for three hundred years." The bloodlight in the Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes began to pulse, "If you want to know so badly, I'll tell you after you die!"

With that, the Blood Demon Ancestor made his move against Chu Mo!

He sent a palm strike towards Chu Mo!

In the void, a colossal palm formed instantly, viciously striking Chu Mo.

Bang!

Chu Mo's body, like a kite with its string cut, flew toward the distance.

The bones in his body also made a series of cracking sounds.

Even the body of someone in the ancestral realm couldn't withstand the furious and crazed full-force attack of the Blood Demon Ancestor.

The Blood Demon Ancestor was slightly taken aback; he had originally thought that this slap would completely shatter Chu Mo's body, leaving behind only the Primordial Infant.

But unexpectedly, the opponent had only suffered severe injuries and broken some bones...

"Your physique?" The Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes sparkled, showing some interest, "Kid... you really are extraordinary! I've just realized that you are countless times stronger than I imagined! All this time, I've somewhat neglected you, not expecting that what I thought was a mere ant could actually be a seedling with the potential to grow into a giant. I must say, I was wrong."

As he spoke, the Blood Demon Ancestor caught up with Chu Mo, flew up high in the sky, and looked down at Chu Mo, who harshly crashed onto a mountain peak, and suddenly let out a sly laugh, "Very good... you've learned the Versatile Technique, you can turn into a woman... hahahaha, I suddenly find that Heaven indeed treats me well. It closes one door, yet opens a much larger one for me!"

At this point, Chu Mo was nearly unconscious. Seeing the expression on the Blood Demon Ancestor's face, he suddenly realized something and said with intense anger, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you think I want to do?" The Blood Demon Ancestor chuckled sinisterly, slowly descending from the sky to stand in front of Chu Mo, taking interest in his angry countenance, "You let my little prey escape, causing me to lose a cauldron... So, you will substitute for the cauldron!"

"I'm a man, damn it!" Although Chu Mo already had a plan in mind, he was still severely disgusted by the Blood Demon Ancestor.

"What's to fear about being a man? Can't you transform?" The Blood Demon Ancestor spoke indifferently, "Just turn into the appearance of a woman, and all will be well. Don't worry, I won't find you lacking!"

"I find you lacking! You disgusting creature!" Chu Mo exclaimed, suddenly erupting into action, with the Heaven Slaying Blade in his hand flashing brilliantly as he fiercely slashed at the Blood Demon Ancestor!

-------------

I indeed overextended myself yesterday, so I'm taking today to rest, delivering three chapters.

Firstly, I'd like to thank loushifang for becoming the leader of the Heaven Slaying Blade alliance. I'm truly happy and moved; thank you for your support!

There are also some emotions stirring in me, so I want to share a few words from the heart.

Reading a book is, in fact, about seeking relaxation, happiness, easing the fatigue of study and work. If everyone enjoys reading, just cast a vote. If there's no monthly ticket, a recommendation ticket will do. It's all support for the author, right?

If you really don't like it, that's fine too. Next door, there are top authors such as Third Young Master, Chen Dong, Wang Yu, Tato, Feng Ling, Miao Nian, and seventy-two others offering a wide selection of fantasy and Xianxia novels, and your choices are indeed vast. Er Gen's new book is also on the way, something to look forward to.

As for the urban novels I've been following lately, they're quite good too. Novels like Literary Age, Perfect Life, I Really Am a Superstar, and Ordinary Person Record, although their update frequency might be a bit sporadic, are redeemed by their quality and exciting stories; at least I really like them, and you all can go check them out.

I also have a whole bunch of completed old books, from Super Hunter to Rebirth in Commerce, from Proud Sword Over the Clouds to Unique Sovereignty to War God Variations to Proud Sword Heavenly Dome—yeah, quite a few, nearly twenty million words in total, all completed. If you're interested, go take a look, and it's okay to subscribe and not read if you don't like it.

I hope everyone avoids throwing around vicious abuse. Honestly, after a decade of writing, I realize my limitations, but I am still very sincere and earnest, so please bear with me. I seldom mention these things, not because I don't see or understand, but because I don't want my mood to be affected.

Really, my abilities are limited, the story has many loopholes, and besides, everyone has different tastes. Even a simple question like whether tofu pudding is better salty or sweet can cause many to argue, right?

If you like it, then please support it. If not, feel free to read someone else's work as there are actually many good books out there.

Indeed, nobody knows anyone on the internet, and insulting others is cheap, but harboring too much negativity ultimately affects oneself. One can be passionate, but not overly violent.

Uncle Dao's thirty-some years of life experience are precious, something most people wouldn't tell you.

Try to keep a calm mind, and you'll find much more joy, truly.

I will also continue to strive, love everyone who likes me, mwah. The story continues to erupt tomorrow, but don't come looking for ten chapters... that would be too hurtful. It can only occasionally go crazy.

That's all.

Goodnight, everyone.
