Dark Yellow Sword Qi!!

The yellow-clothed emperor finally took action, snapping her fingers.

Powerful yellow sword-qi directly pounced over. Surprisingly, it was hardly any different from Dark Yellow Sword Qi, bearing a frightening might that remained from ancient times. The moment she moved her hand, the other four emperors withdrew for the moment.

Chen Mo did not dare hold back and fired the Dark Yellow Sword Qi he had just absorbed.

The two Dark Yellow Sword Qi promptly collided.

There was no heaven-shaking rumble, and there were no shocking changes. The instant the two Dark Yellow Sword Qi collided, the entire space immediately was enshrouded by the Dark Yellow qi and fell into a distant antiquity. Time froze in the ancient past, and the Dark Yellow Sword Qi began to coil, evolve, birth the changes of Primeval Chaos.

This was like the universe and primeval chaos were shaped in Chen Mo and the Yellow Emperor’s palms.

Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow; Universe, Eternity, Primeval, and Chaos.

Nothing could surpass the essence of the most primordial power. The other forces were basically unable to interfere.

From an outsider’s perspective, the pair’s Dark Yellow Sword Qi contest appeared to be nothing to write home about, but Chen Mo himself was confronted with the most rigorous trial in his life.

The Star Manual Of Masters Gan And Shi.

The School Of Mind.

Sharp Bright Mind.

Northern Dipper Great Overflow.

Bodhi Soul Technique.

Chen Mo used practically all of his soul techniques to bolster his willpower and power-type abilities, fully utilizing his Innate Skill.

The Yellow Emperor’s face was expressionless. Her beauty seemed to be a divine likeness left behind from ancient times, filled with dignity that made the world revere her. Seeing Chen Mo stop her Dark Yellow Sword Qi, the woman’s brows slightly rose in surprise.

“The idiot becomes a sage by studying Heaven and Earth, I become intelligent by studying time and characteristics. He in stupidity is perplexed about sageness, I in my stupidity am the same.1 That is, to say: sink into waters, plunge into fire, bring about your own doom.”

The woman slowly said, each word showing killing intent, mixing into the Dark Yellow.

The surrounding Dark Yellow qi immediately seemed to fall under her control. Chen Mo sensed increasing strain, and all of a sudden, countless ancient script characters manifested. Astonishingly, these characters were Li Si’s Lesser Seal.

These characters were produced by the Heaven, Earth, Dark and Yellow. Their life and end was but a mere instant.

Chen Mo’s eyes glowed, for he sensed something from these characters. He formed hand seals, and he chanted: “Feelings of the Dao, dark and deep. Sightless and soundless, carry mind and spirit in stillness…” At the same time, the black and white qi of Yin and Yang separated in the surroundings, endlessly forming and disappearing. The Dark Yellow Sword Qi thereupon cycled through the Dual Modes.

This was none other than Dual Modes Life And Death.

“Hm??”

The lively Dark Yellow Primeval Chaos suddenly calmed like an infant.

“Classic Of Nature?” The Yellow Emperor muttered.

“Dark Yellow forms, Dual Modes parts. It seems he has the qualifications to obtain the Five Emperors Seal.” The Green Emperor said neither quickly nor slowly.

“To not perish in the Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow, Your Servant also approves of this reprieve.” The Red Emperor acknowledged.

“…” The White Emperor’s face was like ice and snow. She uttered not a single word, yet her expression brimmed with approval.

“That Xing man2 or whatever from back then obtained our power yet was unable to fully utilize it. This Emperor actually wants to see whether or not this man has the qualifications.” The Black Emperor sneered: “Death is also acceptable.”

The four emperors glanced at each other. Then, their gazes fell upon the Yellow Emperor.

“The universe rests within the hand, myriad changes rest on the body.” The woman spoke, her voice ethereal and ancient. “Then we shall proceed.”

The Five Emperors formed a hand seal, chanted, and moved.

“Green Emperor Immortal Killing Seal!”3

“White Emperor Demon Destroying Seal!”4

“Crimson Emperor Dragon Slaying Seal!”5

“Black Emperor Devil Eradicating Seal!”6

“Yellow Emperor God Slaughtering Seal!”7

The five women whose stunning beauty was shaped by the heavens activated their powers. Dull green light gathered worldly mystery, manifesting all things.

White sword-light filled with ancient frost and cold froze space. Red sword-light seemed to suck the blood of all living things, shocking the world. Black light as heavy as a thousand years shrunk to the extreme, boundless and infinite.

And the Dark Yellow sword-qi carried an absolute might produced from Heaven and Earth, sweeping everything away, now and unknown.

The five lights filled the entire space as they barreled towards Chen Mo. These five seals carved into his body. The Black Turtle manifested and let out a terrible howl. Even the Holy Beast that possessed the strongest defense, the indomitable Black Turtle, could not endure this formidable power.

“…I telleth thee. Enter into the boundless, roam through infinity. Mine is the light of the sun and moon, the life of Heaven and Earth. People may all die, but I alone exist eternal.”8

Chen Mo opened his eyes, and the universe awakened in this moment.

Afterwards, the figures of the Five Emperors already disappeared. The surroundings suddenly let out an explosion. Glancing around, the lifetime he spent in the Little Thousand World was in reality no longer than a breath’s time. The five totems glowed brilliantly. Then, the five lights formed five breathtaking figures that turned into shooting stars, entering his body.

There was a loud noise. The stone wall that stood untoppled since ancient times peeled away, then it turned to dust. These dust particles then gathered to form a kind of elegant character. They were formed like wriggling worms, their center sections bulging, their heads and tails sharp. Under their long legs, they were like flying birds, with the power to soar above the Nine Firmaments.

“Bird-worms seal script!!”

The calligraphy Star Generals Huang Tingjian and Lady Wei were shocked to see these characters.

Astonishingly, they were one kind of Li Si’s Qin compilations.

They were known as the ultimate calligraphic style capable of linking to Maiden Mountain.

“Ah, Xiao Mohe, hurry and seize the Five Emperors Seal.” Lady Wei shrieked. She recklessly used hear Earth Rank Falling Thousand Autumns again, but the Autumn Waters Brush had barely written a few characters. Under the power of the bird-worms script, it was difficult to form a character.

Sun Yueying meaningfully smiled. She stepped backwards, and her True Spirit vanished into nothingness.

Xiao Mohe forcibly terminated her Heaven Rank Paramita Anatta.

The entire underground palace finally was alleviated of its pressure.

In the span of a single breath, the bird-worms script characters all flew into Chen Mo’s body and fused with him. Chen Mo realized he had already obtained the ancient Five Emperors’ imprint.

“The Five Emperors Seal…It actually…” Lady Wei was slack jawed.

“Are you capable of obtaining the Five Emperors Seal?” Xiao Mohe’s voice was low and hoarse, as if she did not dare believe what she saw with her own eyes. It was said that only Purple Rose level Star Generals were able to completely control the Five Emperors Seal. Even the best Star Generals could not master it, which is why it existed here in Connecting Valley for so long.

In truth, even the Sixteen Star Marquis did not dare boast that they were capable of controlling the Five Emperors Seal.

“Perhaps.” Chen Mo noticed that obtained the Five Emperors Seal was not that difficult, however, this probably was related to his Dark Yellow Sword Qi.

Xiao Mohe violently roared.

The might of a rakshasa covered the entire underground palace. Everyone that saw the Heaven Devouring Demon King’s power could not help but shudder. Chen Mo was unfazed, his expression normal.

Xiao Mohe’s Ghosts And Gods Nirvana leaned against the ground. Her purple eyes were contemplative.

“Xiao Mohe, would you like to work with me. Don’t tell me you want to hide in the Hunting Day Pavilion for the rest of your life? To let the Star Name of the Heaven Devouring Demon King become an eternal laughingstock?” Chen Mo’s tone was harsh as he asked.

“What are you saying?” Xiao Mohe was unperturbed, her lips tightly pursed.

“Let’s face the Sui Ye Star Kingdom together!” Each and every one of Chen Mo’s words resounded, echoing throughout the underground palace.

Lady Wei, Yu Ziqi, and the rest were stupefied to hear him surprisingly wish to fight the SUi Ye Star Kingdom.

Xiao Mohe originally did not believe his words, but now that she saw Chen Mo’s determined eyes that did not waver at all from start to finish, the Heaven Devouring Demon King finally believed this man’s sincerity.

“The Golden Age Tyrant Yang Guang is one of the Sixteen Star Marquis. Back then, she even executed Yang Jian, and her subordinate Nine Elders Of Sui possess powerful martial arts. On what grounds can you fight them?” Xiao Mohe calmly asked. 

“On the grounds that I want to fight them.” Chen Mo grinned and replied.

Xiao Mohe evidently did not expect this kind of answer. The woman froze, her brow relaxed, and she nodded without comment. “This courage is rare even among top-notch Star Generals. Your Servant is impressed.”

“But, Xiao Mohe has never been fond of associating with arrogant characters…” The Ghosts And Gods Nirvana was slowly raised. The Heaven Devouring Demon King’s desired answer was considerably straightforward.

“If you flee now or attempt to persuade me…Die here.”

“I’m a bit arrogant, so I want to try persuading you, Heaven Devouring Demon King.” Chen Mo was unfazed.

There was no need for another word.

After hearing Chen Mo’s reply, Xiao Mohe used her most decisive attack to prove just how extraordinary this man believed himself to be.

The Ghosts And Gods Nirvana carried a foehn wind as it slashed, swift as black lightning. No one could see it clearly.

Clang, clang.

The Ghosts And Gods Nirvana collided with the Northern Dipper, their clash sending sparks flying.

Having just met the legendary Five Emperors, Chen Mo’s current self-confident could be said to be overflowing. His big stick caught Xiao Mohe’s attack easily.

The woman moved her wrist. In an instant, hundreds of sword-light attacked like a thunderclap.

Similarly in the blink of an eye, Chen Mo impeccably warded her off.

But this was far from enough to subdue a Star General as terrifying as the Heaven Devouring Demon King. He needed to make her witness even greater power, power that originated from Primeval Chaos, from Maiden Mountain, a mysterious power from ancient times.

Chen Mo’s hands formed seals. He prepared to forcibly used the still not completely proficient Five Emperors Seal.

Xiao Mohe scarcely realized her own lips had curled. “Let me witness the ancient Five Emperors then!”

Earth Rank: Darkness Mandala!!

The flower of darkness blossomed on the edge of her sword, and dim sword-light covered Chen Mo.

“Chen Mo.” The apathetic Wang Yuanji cried out in worry.

Chen Mo grinned and struck hand seals.

“Black Emperor Devil Eradicating Seal!”

Black light glowed, and the shadow of a black armored girl seemed to emerge and handle Xiao Mohe’s sword swing. The Darkness Mandala was immediately suppressed.

But Chen Mo’s power was not done yet. The second “White Emperor Demon Destroying Seal” followed immediately afterwards.

Xiao Mohe’s pupils contracted. The glow in her purple pupils suddenly flared. This was a glint that came from being aroused by battle. The woman let out a husky laugh.

Her hands lifted her greatsword.

A white light suddenly cracked the Ghosts And Gods Nirvana’s black edge. Then, this light instantly became even more brilliant. An enormous red spider lily suddenly blossomed on the sword.

The silhouette of a phoenix seemed to appear on the blade, and terrifying power suddenly spread in all directions. This was far stronger than any ability Chen Mo had encountered thus far.

This was.

Phoenix Earth Rank.

Radiant Manjusaka!9

Tremendous light blinded everyone’s eyes. Even a Lord Of Heaven would suffer under this brilliance, and even Star Generals like Yu Ziqi were unable to gaze directly at it, to say nothing of Earthly Immortals.

Chen Mo showed an excited expression and changed hand seals.

“Green Emperor Immortal Killing Seal!”

“Crimson Emperor Dragon Slaying Seal!”

“Yellow Emperor God Slaughtering Seal!”

The Five Emperors Seal was used.

The phantoms of five heavenly empresses flickered one after another in the light. Let alone an Earth Rank, their eternally tranquil and dignified expressions would not change even against a Heaven Rank.

Then.

The light.

Faded.
