Without Ultimate World.

Chen Mo’s absence made this Star Field suddenly become much quieter. Chi Xuzi and Chi Songzi maintained nonchalant appearance as they once again played chess, as if the events from a moment before had never occurred.

Ancestor Chen Tuan lowered her head to look at that black hole, her brow tightly creased. Her finger pointed, and the “All Things Omnipresent Stars” descended towards the black hole. Her Star Weapon glittered with all kinds of starlight, its unparalleled Star Energy seemingly about to blow apart this Star Field.

The All Things Omnipresent Stars fell into the black hole, its powerful might sufficient to jolt a Star Field.

But such formidable power nevertheless was unable to stir a ripple when it fell into the black hole. The All Things Omnipresent Stars seemed to be thrown into still waters. Without even a splash, her power sunk into the black hole.

Xiyi’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

“Do not waste your energy. This black hole is the Ancient Chess Star Field’s ultimate mystery. If he truly wants to obtain this Star Field’s power, then he needs to break free on his own. Otherwise, he will be like the others…” Chi Songzi played her pieces as she leisurely spoke.

“Yes, devoured and turned into a piece of this Star Energy.” Chi Xuzi finished her elder sister’s sentence.

Ancestor Chen Tuan’s contained neither pretty nor regret. Her tone was calm: “You two have been stuck in the Dual Modes for countless moons. Now, there is finally someone you can pass your legacy on to. Fellows, do you not want to leave?”

“Ancestor Chen Tuan, you are worthy of being called the best in Daoism. You have already seen through this ‘Dual Modes.'” Chi Songzi smiled as she placed a piece.

“Yin and Yang birth all things, and how elusively at that.”

“Though your words are true, in order to obtain this thousand year Star Energy, one needs to undergo a tribulation of life and death. Otherwise, is there anything wrong with this power disappearing in this place?” Chi Xuzi indifferently said.

The girl wrinkled her brow.

“Ancestor Chen Tuan, why not play a round with me? Even if he is devoured, this will still take some time.” Chi Songzi beckoned.

“I believe that he will succeed.” Chen Tuan’s eyes gazed at that terrible black hole.

“Because of that ‘Primordial’ being present, We actually have no doubts that he can pass. But beyond ‘death,’ there is still ‘life.’ The two tribulations of life and death, this is the true trial.” Chi Songzi sneered, mercilessly breaking Ancestor Chen Tuan’s small fantasy.

Ancestor Chen Tuan watched the black hole, her ethereal, snow-white pupils suddenly flickering with clear light. A galaxy was born and annihilated in her eyes.

The darkness shattered, starlight flashed, and Chen Mo turned his head back.

Fair Skinned Gentleman Zheng Yanran’s True Spirit was already gone, and her presence was already absent from the world. Chen Mo knew she was not dead at all. She was merely a thought, but until she truly disappeared, he was still despondent. In his heart, he already treated Zheng Yanran, who imparted her Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow Techniques to himself, as his teacher.

It was also because of her that he was able to tread the path of a Star Cultivator.

“Since this is the case, then I’ll climb Maiden Mountain. When the time comes, I’ll thank you again.” Chen Mo shut his eyes and resolved himself.

After he opened his eyes, Chen Mo then discovered after he looked at the glittering starlight world that, although the complete black hole was finally cut down under Zheng Yanran’s “Heaven Rank” together with his Earth Rank, the trial was far from finished.

Dazzling, glaring multi-colored starlights showed a sharp contrast to the prior desolate, abyssal black hole. If the black hole could be described as a place where no life existed, then each of the starlights that appeared in front of him were like the pulse of bright life.

“Death or life?”

After all, Chen Mo had received the authentic teachings of Zen and the School Of Mind. He also had some understanding of Daoism. In a flash, he realized the significance of the enviornment he was in.

Weiqi had a saying about “all-dominating ko.” Once a stone was taken, both black and white needed to spare no effort to win.

Chen Mo looked at the seemingly vivacious starlights filling the world. Though relaxed, he did not dare be careless. The “Star Manual Of Masters Gan And Shi” continually converted his magic energy into Star Energy. Chen Mo controlled his Flying Sword to fly towards the starlights. With this incursion, Chen Mo felt like he had stepped into brisk seawater filled with bubbles. Sparkling starlights surrounded him everywhere.

These star-lights seemed to be washing all of Chen Mo’s pores. This was exceptionally soothing. Sometimes, Chen Mo even wanted to stop moving forward and be caressed by this starlight.

However, Chen Mo knew that this should be the trial of a tribulation. Possessing the Black Turtle’s boulder-like body and the bodhi’s penetrating mind, Chen Mo was not mesmerized by these beautiful starlights.

Yanran made such a great sacrifice for his sake. Chen Mo absolutely would not let this sacrifice go to waste. As if sensing Chen Mo’s unperturbed state, the thousands of glimmering starlights suddenly flew over, launching themselves towards Chen Mo like a swarm of mosquitoes that detected fresh blood. 

The seven Black Turtle Swords were like stars embedded in Chen Mo’s surroundings. The Ancient Sword Chant’s sword-light glowed brightly, emitting the Black Turtle’s boulder-like, unconquerable aura.

These seven starlights quaked intensely upon contact with the Black Turtle Swords’ light. There was a fierce explosion, the might of which was enough to shake Heaven and Earth. Even if Chen Mo had the Black Turtle’s protection over his whole body, he still felt on the verge of disintegration. His ears rang, and he was nearly disoriented and blinded..

“This Life Tribulation seems more merciless than the Death Tribulation.” Chen Mo practically gave up the ghost from this explosion.

Each one of these thousand starlights exploded, and they were all approximately equal to a “Yellow Rank” in power. The thousand rays detonated together. Given his strength, Chen Mo nearly was unable to endure.

Immediately afterwards these thousand starlights passed, another thousand purple lights flew over. These purple lights carried a bit of purple qi compared to the starlights as they exploded around Chen Mo. With enormous rumbles, the Black Turtle Flying Swords tottered on the edge of collapse.

“This is all pure Star Energy.” Chen Mo sensed that what was stopping him was the purest Star Energy left in this Star Field. The pure Star Energy was practically indistinguishable from a Star General, its might massive. This seemed like Chen Mo was dealing with the bombardment of a Star General.

The third wave, the fourth.

Starlight and purple qi crisscrossed. Countless bubbles detonated, endlessly obstructing him.

“Don’t think of stopping me.”

Chen Mo grit his teeth. The Star Manual was already dim, and his Star Energy was slowly running dry. The Black Turtle Flying Swords continuously defended. All of a sudden in front of him, a massive lightball hurtled over, mixing with the starlight and purple qi like a bright moon. The middle of the moon also became a burning sun.

Sun and moon alternated, Yin and Yang changed.

All of its power was concentrated to charge Chen Mo from the front.

The Black Turtle Flying Swords shot over. Sword-lights blocked the power of the sun and moon, but they were being pushed back little by little.

Chen Mo extended a finger, firm resolve in his eyes. A wisp of Yellow Qi wound around his finger. This yellow qi grew and grew. It was like a whirlwind was swirling and condensing around his fingertip.

Slowly, it became even more solid and massive, taking the shape of a sword.

“Dark Yellow Sword Qi!”

Chen Mo pointed his finger and used the Dark Yellow Sword Qi.

The sword-qi burst forth from his finger. In the middle of its launch, it was like a yellow True Dragon forging onwards towards the falling sun and moon. The Black Turtle sword-qi wrapped around the sun and moon, piercing through the center, finally disintegrating it.

Cold Yin light and warm Yang air endlessly changed over Chen Mo’s skin.

His mind was bright.

The sun and moon-lights shredded by Dark Yellow Sword Qi became a Yin Yang symbold in front of Chen Mo’s eyes. Then, this Yin and Yang opened like a door, and Chen Mo saw Ancestor Chen Tuan.

The refined girl’s gaze seemed to have a slight glow. Like a stone cast into a tranquil lake, they it suddenly brightened.

She extended her little hand.

She seized Chen Mo’s hand.

Thereupon, life and death were no longer important.
