Jiang Kui and Mi Fu cautiously advanced along the dark passageway. The energy coming from the depths of the ruin made the entire underground palace rock about. It could collapse at any moment.
“Sister Yuezhuo, are we really going in?” Despite the dust covering her clothes, Mi Ji gazed at the terrifying power from the unknown depths with some apprehension.
“Sister Ji, you wait outside for me.” Jiang Yuezhuo said.
Mi Ji shook her head.
The Primeval Chaos qi of the Connecting Valley exhibited an anomaly. Many Lü Clan Spring And Autumn disciples went in then came back out. Clearly, enormous changes were occurring in the underground palace. Jiang Kui was worried for Chen Mo’s safety, and she was determined to enter the underground palace and see the situation despite Mi Ji’s obstruction.
From the perspective of the “Unknown Literati,” they were merely spiritual power Star Generals. Their martial prowess was insignificant, and they basically did not have any useful abilities in a battle between Heavenly Stars. They would have to thank Heaven and Earth already just for not becoming burdens. But despite knowing they were of no help at all, Jiang Yuezhuo still was determined to go in.
“It seems the Corporeal Flying Immortal has just fled. Truly a pity we didn’t kill her.” Mi Fu said.
Jiang Yuezhuo had no interest at all in the Corporeal Flying Immortal’s survival.
“To be able to make the Corporeal Flying Immortal escape without a trace, I fear that Chen Mo also faces slim odds, Elder Sister.” Mi Fu sighed.
Seeing she was unable to otherwise persuade the Clear Empty Shadow, Mi Fu had no choice. She carefully took up her Star Weapon. With no choice but to play things by ear, if she were to encounter danger, she would activate her Earth Rank to escape even if she died.
The two of them walked for a while. The tremors of the underground ruins also slowly subsided.
The pressure lessened considerably. In particular, there was a blinding flash, and the entire underground ruins seemed to descend into a kind of deathly silence, as if it had suddenly died.
This tomb-like quiet was rather unsettling.
Jiang Yuezhuo’s quiet expression became increasingly anxious.
Finally, an entrance to the underground palace appeared at the end of the corridor. The girl quickened her pace.
“To actually be able to make Sister Yuezhuo so worried.” Mi Fu harrumphed, quite jealous of Chen Mo’s treatment.
Mi Fu also increased her speed. The pair walked out from this winding underground corridor, and the scene that appeared before them left Mi Fu dumbstruck.
The Unknown Literati possessed quite the imagination regarding the struggle for the Five Emperors Seal.
The Lü Clan, the Wang Clan of Langya, the Thousand Gold Pavilion, and other intervening Star Generals would make this battle for the Five Emperors Seal appear very bitter.
With the disappearance of the Primeval Chaos qi, powerful Star Energy shook the underground palace to the verge of collapse, and Starfalls would confirm her conjecture.
But what was the final result?
If nothing else, it would be a confrontation between the two top-notch Star Generals, the Wang Clan’s Wang Xianzhi and the Lü Clan’s Lü Meng. With a bit of luck, both sides would have suffered heavy losses and thus shared in the Five Emperors Seal equally. As for Chen Mo…In Mi Fu’s “outline,” his position was only an insignificant brush stroke. As an Earthly Immortal, it was simply an fool’s dream to wrest a treasure from a Heavenly Star.
But what was the scene in front of her?
On the underground palace’s wide open space, a woman that wore black armor like a demon king of war was currently brandishing her sword in a furious assault. That woman was very stern, and an evil spirit seemed to support her from behind.1 Each of her slashes and stabs all had howling ghostly wind and coiling black light.
That gorgeous yet frightening weapon was surprisingly the Ghosts And Gods Nirvana.
The Destined Star Weapon of the Heaven Devouring Demon King.
And the person she faced was neither the Wang Clan’s Little Sage Buried In Books Wang Xianzhi, nor were they Lü Meng of the Lü Clan’s Three Great Martial Generals They were not a Star General at all.
A man.
A man who made Jiang Yuezhuo worried.
Chen Mo!!
“How is this possible.” Mi Fu’s jaw hung wide open. She looked around the underground palace again. Several women with heaven-bestowed beauty were all laying to one side, heavily injured. They could only powerlessly, even jealously, watch the battle.
“Huh?” Jiang Yuezhuo gasped in astonishment. She immediately flipped open the Damask Dragon Calligraphy Book.
Bang, bang, bang.
The sounds of the Ghosts And Gods Nirvana echoed throughout the underground ruins. Each clash of the weapon seemed to revive ghosts and gods. Chen Mo’s Northern Dipper Staff could barely block, and his entire body was already covered in wounds. Even the Body of the Black Turtle was somewhat at its last breath. The Heaven Devouring Demon King was among the best Star Generals, after all. She once fought one against seven without falling to a disadvantage. Her Star Energy was plainly formidable.
Even after using her Earth Rank numerous times, Xiao Mohe’s assault seemed insufferably powerful, bringing Chen Mo great pressure.
Seeing that Chen Mo was somewhat at the end of his rope.
Jiang Yuezhuo opened her Star Weapon, Damask Dragon Calligraphy Book, and used her Earth Rank.
“Moonlight Of Olden Days!”2
As if a moon was showering Chen Mo with its blessings, his dying body absorbed the moonlight’s quintessence and suddenly shuddered. Xiao Mohe’s attack was thwarted completely.
Her Earth Rank “Moonlight Of Olden Days” was capable of replenishing Star Energy and averting any normal attack, but after use, she would lose one Star from her Star Weapon as the price. Unless vitally necessary, Jiang Kui would never use this Earth Rank.
Chen Mo received Star Energy rejuvenation, and his breathing wildly invigorated.
Xiao Mohe did not expect that there would actually still be a Star General who would supplement Chen Mo’s Star Energy. She was slightly astonished, but as expected of a top-notch Star General who battled in the Hunting Day Pavilion, she immediately raised her sword after fleeting astonishment. With a step like an arrow, she charged over.
Chen Mo leapt high into the air, the Northern Dipper Staff transforming into the Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber.
Against the might of the Rakshasa, Chen Mo drew his blade.
Saber-light unsheathed became a white snow-light that illuminated the entire underground palace. The snow-light saber-qi flooded every nook and cranny, descending upon Xiao Mohe following Chen Mo’s will.
Astonishingly, this was Earth Rank.
No Snow Under Heaven!
Having received Jiang Yuezhuo’s Star Energy replenishment, Chen Mo did not hesitate to use Earth Rank, his one and only trump card.
The snow-like saber-light covered the Heaven Devouring Demon King, making that pitch-black figure instantly vanished.
“That is actually Earth Rank…” Yu Ji’s red lips hung agape, not daring to believe this.
The others present also felt their eyes were deceiving them. None of them thought they would witness an Earthly Immortal use an Earth Rank. Everyone was stunned by No Snow Under Heaven, and even Mi Ji was flabbergasted.
“Just what kind of…person is he…How is there this kind of Servant Star.”
Chen Mo landed on the ground and exhaled. The Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber quivered. Using two Earth Ranks left him a bit exhausted.
The snow-light dispersed. The Demon King’s dark figure once again loomed over the underground palace, and everyone’s hearts sank.
Chen Mo bitterly smiled.
The woman’s hands used the Ghosts And Gods Nirvana as a shield. Her frightening figure calmly appeared after the Earth Rank. Although the Rakshasa Innate Skill was already close to vanishing, Xiao Mohe still had breathing room.
Too terrifying.
This Heaven Devouring Demon King truly was like her nickname. A kind of spontaneous powerlessness covered their hearts. But the more he saw Xiao Mohe was so unyielding, the more Chen Mo wanted to gain Xiao Mohe’s participation.
Forming hand seals, Chen Mo prepared to use the Five Emperors Seal once again. Even if this time would make the undeveloped Five Emperors Seal fade away, he would not hold back.
Xiao Mohe set down her greatsword and calmly stared at Chen Mo.
The woman’s expression was like a stone Buddha. In her eyes, there was nothing frightening, only mercy.
Then, the Heaven Devouring Demon King’s pervasive dark killing intent slowly receded.
Chen Mo grunted.
The Ghosts And Gods Nirvana vanished into thin air, and Xiao Mohe took down her battle stance.
“Xiao Mohe, do you concede defeat?” Chen Mo asked.
“If one has not yet comprehended mahaprajna, they should practice in accordance with the teachings of Buddha.” Xiao Mohe said cryptically.
“Mahaprajna illuminates the essence of all things, it is the greatest of wisdom.” Chen Mo knew a bit.
The woman calmly said: “Star Name Mohe, True Name Bore.3 Do you truly wish to defeat the Sui Ye Star Kingdom?”
“Yes.” Chen Mo resolutely said.
The woman nodded: “Then Bore shall lend you a hand. If someday you betray this courage, I will kill you first.”
“Good.”
Chen Mo happily smiled.
“Lady, let us go.” Xiao Mohe turned around. Her cloak dragged along the ground as she walked towards the underground palace’s exit with a steady pace. The opposition already had no reluctance to leave. Jiang Kui and Mi Fu nervously stared at the approaching Heaven Devouring Demon King.
Xiao Bore gently nodded, as if praising Jiang Kui’s Earth Rank just now. Then, she walked into the corridor, becomign one with the darkness. The two girls sighed in relief and finally noticed they were covered in cold sweat.
Lady Wei followed close behind.
Knowing that the Heaven Devouring Demon King was invited by her, everyone had no choice but to allow Lady Wei to leave.
“Young Lord Chen Mo, you truly obtained Star World’s number one fortunate encounter. I fear those Star Cultivators of the Xuannü Seven Stars cannot compare to you.” Lady Wei was very unreconciled.
“Lady, you plotted to exploit the Wang Clan and the Lü Clan. You’d better take care of yourself.
Lady Wei’s expression changed. She spotted the cold and detached Wang Yuanji. For the Connecting Valley’s Five Emperors Seal, she had not only lost Qi Jie, she had even offended two major powers and returned empty handed. This truly was giving away a lady and an army on top of that.
This matter could only be handled later.
Lady Wei lowered her head and hurried away.
After Chen Mo obtained the Five Emperors Seal, the underground palace became deathly silent, but the lingering Primeval Chaos qi still coiled about.
“Senior Sister, why’d you come?” Chen Mo stepped forward, both shocked and happy. “Didn’t I make you two wait outside for me?”
“Sister Yuezhuo was worried about you, I didn’t want to come.” Mi Fu wrinkled her brow and patted the dust off herself. This underground palace was too filthy.
“I really need to thank Senior Sister for taking action just now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have handled it so well.” Chen Mo gratefully said.
“Hmph, that underground palace cost her Star Weapon one of its Stars. That’s a very big price, so you’d better thank Sister Yuezhuo.” Mi Fu said.
“No need, so long as Junior Brother is safe, that’s all that matters.” Jiang Yuezhuo sighed in relief.
“Let’s leave this place now.”
Mi Fu looked around and noticed that the Lü Clan and Wang Clan were missing people. Seeing Wang Yuanji’s heavy and sorrowful expression, Mi Fu seemed to realize something and deeply sighed.
The group left this underground palace. After a few hours, they saw the the sun again.
Along the way, Mi Fu came to understand everything that happened in the underground palace. She sighed upon learning that Wang Xianzhi, Lü Meng, Wang Dun and others had all Starfallen. People die for money, and birds feast on the dead. Even the Little Sage Buried In Books suffered a destructive end for the Five Emperors Seal.
“Xiao Mohe obtained the Five Emperors Seal. In the future, it looks like we will need a Star Marquis in order to have qualifications to go to the Central Star Field.” Mi Fu recalled the Heaven Devouring Demon King and was slightly regretful.
“Who said she obtained the Five Emperors Seal?” Chen Mo smiled.
“If not her, then who else?” Mi Fu was confused. Given the Heaven Devouring Demon King’s martial prowess, the others could not wrest it from her even when they joined hands.
“The Five Emperors Seal was obtained by Chen Mo.” Yu Ji jealously said.
“What? You obtained the Five Emperors Seal?”
Mi Fu and Jiang Kui were tongue-tied.
