The Earth Rank True Dragon Cutting manifested Sun and Moon True Dragon Swords that slashed at Chen Mo. Zhu Yuanzhang’s Earth Rank was sufficient to kill Su Shi, Liu Yong, and Chen Mo all in one fell swoop with her current Realm.
Su Wanyang dug her feet into the ground and attacked with all her might. The Faded Moon Dredged Star Sword was flung into the sky, activating Phoenix Earth Rank “Celestial Palace.”
Sword-light illuminated a heavenly palace that surreptitiously followed the star image in arrangement. It was pure white and flawless. The palace’s gates opened, and white star-light flooded down like a river.
Liu Yong also raised a flute. This flute seemed to be made of carved jadeite, its framework quite typical, though its fingerholes were like stars. A spring breeze lingered in its notes, and it was very beautiful to listen to. This was her Star Weapon, “Overnight Romance.”1 She blew the flute, its melody like a cool breeze and bright moon, enchanting the world.
Phoenix Earth Rank – Returning Wind Dancing Snow.
“Overnight Romance” played a graceful tune, wind and snow manifesting a dozen fairies that danced wonderfully in the world. Their dance in the surroundings seemed to be capable of stopping all harm.
But how could these two be a match for Zhu Yuanzhang’s Earth Rank. The Sun and Moon True Dragon Swords pincer attacked their Earth Ranks, and Su Shi and Liu Fengxi used all their Star Energy to resist.
Their Earth Ranks lasted a few seconds before breaking.
The Celestial Palace was disintegrated by the Sun Sword, and the Returning Wind Dancing Snow’s elegant fairies were also mercilessly slain by Zhu Yuanzhang. The two girl’s expressions changed as they vomited blood from the force of Zhu Yuanzhang’s Earth Rank Star Energy. However, this also gave Sima Qian the chance to use her Heaven Rank.
“Flawless Heavenly Law!!!”
Sage Of History Sima Qian activated her Heaven Rank.
It seemed to come from Heaven’s strongest will itself, and the Sun and Moon True Dragon Swords completely dissipated.
Once a Heaven Rank was used, that was practically a move of indiscriminate destruction. Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, turning her target to the Sage Of History, “Sima Qian, stay in the Ten Thousand Sages Hall and record my history!!”
The Sun And Moon True Dragon waved her hand, attacking with the Ancestral Dragon’s purple qi.
“Zhu Yuanzhang, die!!” “Hundred Generations Exemplary Writer” Han Yu’s Dream Devourer Cinnabar Seal scattered, forming an inconceivable Great Thousand World that enveloped Zhu Yuanzhang.
Heaven Rank: Great Thousand Destruction!
Wang Xizhi also wrote with her brush. With every stroke of “Ink Hero,” each character seemed to pierce through layers of primordial chaos and write into tens of thousands of years of history. The power of her brush was already beyond “profound.” Rather, it wrote into history itself, penetrating through the thickness of history and the accumulation of time, straight to the most primal genesis.
This was also a powerful Heaven Rank.
Writing The Beginning!
Three great sages used three Heaven Ranks. Their powerful might shook the Ten Thousand Sages Hall to the point of collapse, rumbling loudly. However, the Ten Thousand Sages Hall was worthy of being called a Universe Eternity level Spirit Treasure. Under such powerful force, the array actually showed no signs of breaking at all.
The three women were very clear about Zhu Yuanzhang’s power. Even with three Heaven Ranks, destroying her would be very difficult, but only a Heaven Rank attack would buy Chen Mo the time he needed to comprehend the steles.
“Are you all in such a rush to die?” Zhu Yuanzhang lifted her hand, temporarily giving up on killing Chen Mo. The Ancestral Dragon’s qi coiled into a circle, and her sun and moon pupils fired into the purple qi. The purple qi was unparalleled in might. The strength of this power surprisingly made the immovable Ten Thousand Sages Hall let out an enormous groan.
The three sages’ power and Zhu Yuanzhang’s Sun And Moon Dragons and Ancestral Dragon Purple Qi collided.
Heavenly Law, the Great Thousand, and the Beginning became very strained in the face of the True Dragon’s might.
Wang Anshi and the others pounded the Ten Thousand Sages Hall even more frantically. More and more Star Energy poured into the hall, and every stone in the hall seemed to glow redder and redder as if heated by flame.
Just a little more, and it should awaken.
Wang Anshi sneered.
Meanwhile, Su Shi and Liu Yong were already unable to achieve the Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout in the face of three Heaven Ranks’ combined power. They activated defensive techniques, bitterly holding on, placing their final hopes on Chen Mo.
The “Black Turtle” spirit in Chen Mo’s body manifested, shaking off the Heaven Ranks’ oppression, allowing Chen Mo to answer the sage stele without pressure.
Chen Mo answered the fourth stele with the Mohist “one who cultivates himself before the spirits is not recognized by the people. Rather, it is he who strives in the open that is recognized,”2 perfectly obtaining the sage’s aspirations.
The fifth stele was answered with “A Happy Excursion.”3
Chen Mo immediately came upon the sixth stele.
Sending in Divine Intent, having obtained in succession the everlasting power of five steles in addition to the sage aspirations he already received beforehand, Chen Mo’s confidence was overwhelming. His comprehension was also at its peak, able to smash through practically all changes in the world in an instant.
The sixth stele.
“Beauty Of Aromatic Herbs” appeared once again. Different this time, however, was that she appeared in an empty world with no sense of direction. The entire plane seemed to be enveloped in a murky, pervasive white fog.
Then, an ancient song faintly echoed. Nine beautiful women appeared at Qu Yuan’s side. These women’s features were like Qu Yuan’s, beautiful beyond description. Their beauty existed before the word existed, and each of the women brimmed with the aura of the Nine Heavens.
Astonishingly, they were legendary Immemorial Star Names from Star World’s Maiden Mountain.
This song was mournful, filled with grief. A listen would evoke solemnity, leaving no other thoughts.
These nine ancient women coldly stared at Chen Mo, brimming with murderous intent.
Chen Mo’s expression slightly changed. He listened to the song. Donghuang Taiyi, Lord Within the Cloud, Lord of the Xiang, Lady of the Xiang, Greater Master of Fate, Lesser Master of Fate, Lord of the East, River Early, and the Mountain Spirit were Qu Yuan’s “Nine Songs.” He never imagined that Qu Yuan’s Songs of Chu Realm would already have reached this level. She was surprisingly capable of relying on her Nine Songs to seemingly recreate ancient divine power.
Chen Mo’s eyes focused. The “Five Emperors” also appeared at this side, and they drew their blades, their stances outstanding, not inferior in the least to these gods of the Nine Songs.
Qu Yuan’s eyebrows rose. The gods of the Nine Songs attacked Chen Mo.
The Five Emperors also grunted, brandishing their swords. Their figures were swift and nimble, reaching the pinnacle of perfection. The gods of the Nine Songs crossed blades with the Five Emperors, surprisingly producing an incomparably harmonious scene.
“Play the Nine Songs and dance the Shao!”
This was the Shao Dance of Encountering Sorrow.
The Ancestral Dragon’s Purple Qi at last slowly faded under the heaven Rank. At the same time, “Sage Of History’ Sima Qian also collapsed with a groan, her True Spirit sealed into the sixth stele.
With only two of the Seven Sages Of The Bamboo Grove left, they could not possibly be a match for the Sun And Moon True Dragon. Wang Xizhi brandished her Lanting Brush, but the best calligraphy in the world could not save her life. Her True Spirit was sealed into the seventh stele.
“Fuqing!!”
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to take Han Yu for the eighth and final stele, Huang Yuheng finally caught a chance to breathe. His valor surged, and his “Cinnabar Seal Myriad Chapters Flying Swords” assembled an ancient sword array to block Zhu Yuanzhang’s power.
“Don’t you think of killing her!!” Huang Yuheng roared. His vast power endured, astounding everyone.
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed her eyes, striking with a palm.
A sun broke the sword array. Huang Yuheng threw himself onto Han Yu, turning his body to shield her from Zhu Yuanzhang’s palm. Huang Yuheng vomited blood, and his Primordial Spirit was about to disperse.
“Yuheng!!!”
Han Fuqing stared in shock at this childhood sweetheart that protected her from this strike.
“Nianwei, leave this to me, run away now!” Huang Yuheng said with difficulty.
“No.” Han Fuqing seemed to see that little boy who tumbled off the cliff from back then. For a moment, her heart ached terribly.
“All of you can die!” Zhu Yuanzhang’s palm came again.
Huang Yuheng spun around, using a fist ability. To trade punches with a top-notch Star Marquis, this was death without doubt, even for the number three Star Warrior of the Xuannü Seven Stars, but no one could have imagined that Huang Yuheng would surprisingly block Zhu Yuanzhang’s punch.
“All things are indestructible, countries are eternal – eternal are countries!!”
Huang Yuheng activated his strongest ability. His Star Energy circulated, and a mysterious country trapped Zhu Yuanzhang. Eternal Country was comparable to a Lord Of Heaven’s Little Thousand World, just even stronger. This Eternal Country was what Huang Yuheng cultivated by using the Hundred Generations Exemplary Writer’s Innate Skill, “Dharani.” The interior of the Country concentrated the Sage Of Writing’s power. Even a Lord Of Heaven would die if they entered the Eternal Country.
However, this time, he faced Zhu Yuanzhang, the number three Star Marquis. Even if she was a True Spirit Projection, she was powerful enough to kill several sages.
Zhu Yuanzhang was trapped in the Eternal Country. Huang Yuheng used all of his Star Energy, and for some reason perhaps related to her being a True Spirit, she was surprisingly unable to break free.
Seeing Huang Yuheng had stalled Zhu Yuanzhang, the others were left dumbstruck.
“This man is this powerful? He can actually contend against the Sun And Moon True Dragon?” Su Wanyang did not dare believe this.
Liu Fengxi’s brows slightly wrinkled. She blew into One Night Romance. Its music was mellow, helping Huang Yuheng.
Su Wanyang glanced at Chen Mo. She noticed that Chen Mo had not broken free of the sixth stele, and she grew inwardly worried. The Peerless Star Hero also hastily sent in Divine Intent to see what the topic was, but her Divine Intent had barely entered when her whole body suddenly went limp.
Ancient Nine Songs, Ancient Nine Gods.
How were they supposed to answer this?
Just at this moment, someone tapped the girl on the shoulder. She immediately stowed her thoughts, only to see Chen Mo staring at her.
“It is alright if you were unable to answer it.” Su Wanyang saw that Chen Mo’s face was pale. She knew this sage’s aspirations were impossible to obtain. Qu Yuan’s Nine Songs were only a rumor in Star World. Even the Xinjie Academy did not have any clear records on it.
“I already answered it.” Chen Mo wiped his sweat. He lifted his gaze to look at Zhu Yuanzhang. Of the Seven Sages Of The Bamboo Grove, only Sage Of Writing Han Yu was left, and Huang Yuheng’s Eternal Country was unexpectedly contesting the Sun And Moon True Dragon.
“Incredible, to be able to face Zhu Yuanzhang.” Chen Mo was surprised.
Su Wanyang was also very impressed, but now was not the time for that. “He will not last much longer. Can you still release the Ten Thousand Sages Hall?”
Chen Mo took a deep breath. The Realm of Qu Yuan’s Nine Songs was too ancient, too abstruse. Only a sage that had experienced a Star Era could possibly solve it. He had no choice but to use the Five Emperors Seal and forcefully solve it, barely a pass. However, he had use too much Star Energy and stamina. He could only count on luck for the last two.
“Hm!” Zhu Yuanzhang, who was trapped in the Eternal Country, suddenly saw Chen Mo move towards the seventh stele. The sixth was surprisingly solved by him, and the Sun And Moon True Dragon’s eyes glowered. This man was a bit outside of her expectations.
At this time, Huang Yuheng sensed that Chen Mo was surprisingly already on the verge of Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout. The man was alarmed, and he suddenly lifted up Han Yu.
“Yuheng!” Han Fuqing cried out in surprise.
“We are leaving now!” Huang Yuheng knew that the reason why he was able to use the Eternal Country to face Zhu Yuanzhang was only because of their prior arrangement. Zhu Yuanzhang allowed him to take the limelight in the Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout, to win Han Fuqing’s affections.4
Sensing that Zhu Yuanzhang was a bit impatient, the Eternal Scholar did not dare be too complacent. He carried the injured Han Fuqing to the gate and fled.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s Sun and Moon Dragons charged out of the Eternal Country, smashing the barrier. Zhu Yuanzhang did not chase after the Sage Of Writing, for there was someone close to Su Mian that she could exploit without too much of a problem. Seven powerful True Spirits were already sealed into eight of the steles. The woman’s cold eyes looked over everyone.
White Clothed Court Official Liu Fengxi and Peerless Star Hero Su Shi were both suitable candidates. She could even use that man who was solving the sage steles in quick succession.
“Do not struggle, accompany the sages.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved her hand.
Her killing intent descended.
Without the Seven Sages, there was no one left in the Ten Thousand Sages Hall who could stop her.
