Mountain Oath Collapse!!

Yang Shuang’s Earth Rank activated, and Purple Sun Valley quaked intensely. The surrounding mountains seemed to topple, issuing enormous noise. With Yang Shuang’s “Water And Fire Prisoner Dragon Staff” as the epicenter, boundless Star Energy crashed like a torrent flooding the heavens. The entire Purple Sun Valley tottered on the edge of collapse, and terrifying pressure practically crushed the valley.

Yang Shuang’s Earth Rank was centered around the two staffs, its power rippling outwards. Not only did she want to kill Chen Mo, she wanted the others to die here as well.

Chen Mo’s expression did not change. The instant he detected that the Mountain Backed King was using her Earth Rank, he also promptly drew his saber. Saber-light instantly became a boundless white light descending from the blade, covering everything in her field of vision.

The slash in front of her was like snow floating over a thousand li. Innumerable saber-lights descended upon Yang Shuang’s Earth Rank. The might of this Star Energy surprisingly was able to match the Mountain backed King’s Earth Rank. These pale saber-lights immediately sealed Yang Shuang’s Star Energy.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Earth Rank – No Snow Under Heaven!!

Not daring to hold back whatsoever, against a Heavenly Star’s Earth Rank, only another Earth Rank could contend against it. This Earth Rank practically made Chen Mo use the very limits of his Star Energy.

Mountain Oath Collapse and No Snow Under Heaven clashed, their Star Energies entangling each other.

“How can this be.”

Yang Shuang was in disbelief, for her Earth Rank was actually stopped as well. Her opponent unexpectedly did not lose out to her Earth Rank. This honestly exceeded the Mountain Backed King’s expectations.

The violently shaking Purple Sun Valley was frozen solid under the might of No Snow Under Heaven. In the end, it slowly settled, and all of the erupting power whimpered to a stop.

Despite Chen Mo using Earth Rank to counter Yang Shuang’s formidable strike, he was also very drained. This was the first time he had used the Earth Rank, and he was practically unable to maintain the Star Energy expenditure. He nearly fainted over.

The moment Yang Shuang’s Mountain Oath Collapse finally settled, Chen Mo did not hesitate to charge forward. He raised the saber and swung the saber at the woman’s neck.

Although he stopped her Earth Rank, Chen Mo understood that the “Mountain Backed King” most certainly also had a Heaven Rank. If she used that Heaven Rank, he certainly would be destroyed. Although he received the teachings of Yanran’s Heaven Rank, he basically was unable to comprehend it with his current Realm and Cultivation. He could only steal the initiative to sneak attack Yang Shuang before she used it.

The “stars” on the Water And Fire Prisoner Dragon Staffs completely opened. The Five Star staffs attacked with an insufferably arrogant force that stopped Chen Mo’s attack.

Chen Mo’s saber became a staff. The power of each attack with the Northern Dipper staff was a dozen times heavier than the last. It was not sharp like the Northern Dipper Saber, but the Northern Dipper Staff’s assault was purely an overbearing, crushing force. The Star Energy consumed was very immense.

Yang Shuang’s three hundred catties Water And Fire Prisoner Dragon Staffs surprisingly were unable to overcome him.

The Mountain Backed King’s eyes were even more surprised. Could it be she actually had to use her Heaven Rank?

“Heaven Rank” was the strongest technique ever for a Heavenly Star, an absolute honor. They would never be used until the moment everything hung in the balance, at the critical moment of life and death, because each usage of the Heaven Rank would cost a Heavenly Star’s “Star Name” its power.1 Although the Purple Rose Star Emperor unified Star World, using the Primordial Star Name Legion to make Star World’s Star Generals establish new Realms and Techniques, the Heaven Rank was far from being as important as it was back then. But the legends accumulated over several tens of thousands of years still made the Heaven Rank occupy a special, holy place in every Star General’s heart.

To think she would have to use her Heaven Rank on a nameless Star Warrior, Yang Shuang’s teeth were about to grind to dust.

Absolutely impossible!

She was the grand Heavenly Shiren Star, how could she fall so far as to use her Heaven Rank against a warrior who was not even Earthly Immortal. If word of this got out, she would become a laughingstock.

The fury in her heart swelled. The woman bellowed, her power like the Five Sacred Mountains, and she suddenly pounced.

Star Energy flowed into her Destined Star Weapon. The Dragon Staffs let out dragon cries. Blue and red staff-lights suddenly flashed, becoming two imposing storms.

The Northern Dipper Staff suddenly blocked them.

“Dark Rank: Sea Breach!”2

Yang Shuang again used a Dark Rank to attack. She watched the blue and red storms become two dragons that threw themselves at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo’s eyes narrowed. Immediately, his hands sped through hand seals, his hand-shadows shuttling back and forth. Two dark lights of Yin and Yang emerged from his palms. He pushed his hands forward, and Chen Mo finally used the “Dual Modes Life And Death.”

The dark lights suddenly spread, forming a “Yin Yang Diagram” space, enclosing them within.

“What is this?” Yang Shuang was shocked.

She watched the Yin Yang lights spin. A powerful force crushed her Dark Rank, and the woman’s whole body was jolted by the impact, her armor shattering.

The might of the “Dual Modes Life And Death” ability was formidable. It created an isolated space by using the power of Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang. Within this space, the power of Yin and Yang to live and die, to die and live, endlessly alternated. It could smash apart external powers, and in the process of alternating Yin and Yang, the opponent’s strength would recoil back at them.

Mountain Backed King Yang Bushuang completely did not expect that Chen Mo would surprisingly have an Ancient Ability capable of handling Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellows. The power she used recoiled and injured her. The cold and hot oppression that the Dual Modes Life And Death produced made Yang Shuang feel unbearable pain.

But the Mountain Backed King was worthy of being called one of the Nine Elders Of Sui. She bit her lip, and the Star Crest on her forehead flashed. She activated her Innate Skill, “Stability.” For a Star General to activate her Star Crest, that was practically being forced to a very sorry situation.

The “Stability” Innate Skill turned the Star Energy defenses throughout Yang Shuang’s entire body into an impenetrable fortress. Her body was as immovable as a boulder, not budging in the slightest in the Dual Modes Life And Death. The power of Yin and Yang slammed into her, but they were unable to knock her down at all.

The Dual Modes Life And Death could not be maintained for a long time, only for a few breaths.

When Yang Shuang emerged from the Dual Modes Yin And Yang, she was exhausted from head to toe, covered in injuries. This was simply unbelievable.

Yu Zan and Wen Zhenzi saw that Chen Mo unexpectedly was capable of forcing the Mountain Backed King, a Nine Elder Of Sui, to such a state. Their mouths hung agape in shock. Yu Qingluo’s eyes especially were filled with fear.

What kind of Star Warrior was this to actually be so swift and fierce!

“I will rend you to pieces, I will scatter your ashes!!” Yang Shuang roared in fury, her eyes like a wild animal’s.

All of a sudden, his eyes were dazzled. Chen Mo already approached the tiger’s pounce first. He swung Northern Dipper down and was knocked away by the woman’s twin staffs. The Prisoner Dragon Staffs in the woman’s hands easily attacked.

Just at this moment, Chen Mo’s finger pointed.

His fingertip fired a ray of Dark Yellow Sword Qi.

Not good.

Yang Shuang’s face paled.

The Dark Yellow Sword Qi shot straight into Yang Shuang’s body. A boundless Dark Yellow energy thrashed about inside her body, battering her bones, “Go!” Chen Mo chanted. The swords of black light immediately attacked. Pity that he had no sword array, which drastically reduced the Flying Swords’ might.

Yang Shuang was injured by the Dark Yellow Sword Qi; she was nearly killed. The rage in her heart reached its peak.

She looked at Chen Mo, honestly hating him to the bone.

“Courting death!!”

Yang Shuang’s angry yell ripped apart the sky. All of a sudden, boundless Star Energy erupted.

Everyone’s expressions changed.

This is a Heaven Rank??

Mount Hua.

“Quiet Phoenix Cry’s” divine light flowed, endlessly sparkling in the air. It was as swift as a white steed flitting by, transient. Under such a fast assault, it seemed that the area had countless attacking Quiet Phoenix Cries.

But the woman being attacked showed no concern. She wore a cap of purple gold and a large white robe. The scholarly “Cold-blooded Beauty” Yang Su’s white finger snapped. Her fingernail was snow-white, and she seemed to wield a string, as if threading a needle. Flying Phoenix General Li Guang’s Quiet Phoenix Cry was surprisingly completely helpless against her.

Lu Xiujing, Jiang Kui and the others were already defeated. They looked at Li Guang with hope.

“I never imagined that I would be able to see the legendary Earthly Star, Flying Phoenix General.” The corner of Yang Su’s lips curled. She leisurely waved her hand, the gesture elegant, like she was swatting an insignificant fly.

Quiet Phoenix Cry suddenly was knocked away. Afterwards, an invisible killing intent formed thousands of strings that launched towards Li Milu.

“Ancient Songs Red Stone Array!”

Li Milu used her Dark Rank, cutting down all of the killing intent.

Just as Yang Su wanted to step forward past these people, there was suddenly a drawn-out raptor cry in her ear. This sound carried a profound pressure that surprisingly prevented Yang Su’s step from finishing.

The girl’s brow wrinkled.

All of a sudden, the sky faraway from Mount Hua split open. Power that made the entire Star Field shudder burst out. Even Mount Hua quaked, intensely jolting. Boulders tumbled down, and the animals scattered.

Lu Xiujing, Jiang Kui, the Red Fragrant Child, Yang Su, and Li Guang all looked at the horizon at the same time.

Yang Su’s graceful eyes abruptly focused.

“This is a Heaven Rank?”

“Hm? What is going on.” This energy was Yang Shuang’s. To be able to make the Mountain Backed King use even her Heaven Rank, Yang Su immediately had a feeling of foreboding.

“I will pay my respects to Ancestor Chen Tuan another day.” Yang Su no longer cared for the “Purple Cypress.” She turned around and promptly vanished from Mount Hua.

This is bad, Heaven Rank!!

Chen Mo’s expression became extremely unsightly. He had exhausted all his tricks, used all of his trump cards just to kill Mountain Backed King Yang Shuang before she could use her Heaven Rank, but his opponent’s tenacity was greater than he anticipated. Even so, he inflicted serious wounds.

A heavily injured beast would be thoroughly enraged. Its killing intent would be fiercer and more frightening.

Chen Mo had Thousand Year Star Energy, but so long as he had yet to comprehend Heaven Rank, he naturally was not so arrogant as to dare contend against one. His first thought was to block it, but no whether it was treasures like the Bodhi Treasure Karma or the Gods And Demons Life And Death Wheel, they would not be able to withstand a single blow against a Heaven Rank.

Flee?

Already too late.

Dammit. He could only put his all into the battle. No matter what, he could not let Yang Shuang’s Heaven Rank fully activate. The body of the Black Turtle manifested its towering figure over Purple Sun Valley. Chen Mo attacked Yang Shuang, but at practically that moment, the power of the Heaven Rank completely defeated his Star Energy. The True Spirit “Black Turtle” let out a struggling wail in the face of the Heaven Rank’s concentrated power. Even this immovable, proud Four Symbols Holy Beast was ravaged nearly to the point of destruction. The terror of a Heaven Rank was plainly visible.

Star Energy tore at Chen Mo’s whole body. He grit his teeth, already prepared for the worst. He used the Star Manual to muster all of the Thousand Year Star Energy to face Yang Shuang’s Heaven Rank.

Sun Yingmeng and the others could only root themselves in place. They basically were unable to look directly at Yang Shuang’s Heaven Rank.

Yu Juluo forcibly operated her body’s Star Energy, not caring that she had yet to completely refine the medicinal soup as she moved her body.

Several blinks of time seemed to last longer than centuries. Chen Mo felt that he could hardly move an inch, and a majestic Star Energy surged towards him again to rip him apart.

Chen Mo was just about to unleash the Star Manual when at the critical moment, a slender figure stood in front of him. That figure was curvaceous, delicate but filled with pride.

“Yang Shuang, This Military Commander will have you die here today without a corpse to bury!”

An apathetic voice flowed from the woman’s lips, and a giant, malevolent demon appeared behind her.

“Demon Faced Military Commander” Yu Juluo’s killing intent surfaced.
