This sword strike arrived with extre suddenness!
Both swift and fierce!
As if wielding the force of heavens, unspeakably heavy. Though it was rely a single blade of sword energy, it carried an overwhelming aura, as though it could crush the sky itself!
No one anticipated that, even after the retreat of the Primordial Chaos Patriarch's manifestation, Ji Donggu would suddenly strike against Ji Qi.
At the sa ti, the Primordial Chaos Patriarch—who should have already withdrawn—unexpectedly descended once more!
And likewise aid an attack at Ji Qi!
Concurrently, another four or five deadly intents ca hurtling from Beyond Heaven, all targeting Ji Qi!
This was truly a lethal trap!
Its real target was not Chu Mo, whom many powerhouses sought to kill. Instead, it was Ji Qi, the heir of the Luotian Imperial Clan—the Crown Prince!
This was an attempt to sever the future of the Imperial Clan!
For throughout all history, no imperial heir had ever been successfully assassinated by an outsider.
Now the reigning emperor had delegated most political affairs to Ji Qi, which ant that although Ji Qi had not yet ascended the throne, he had already inherited a significant portion of the Luotian Imperial Clan's qi movent.
If Ji Qi were slain at such a juncture, the entire qi movent of the Imperial Clan would suffer a catastrophic blow!
These people… truly cunning, calculating their moves with ruthless precision!
They had earlier sent a few Great Saint Realm cultivators to their deaths, rely to put everyone off guard. To assassinate Ji Qi, this group rcilessly sacrificed several Great Saint Realm cultivators. Such deep and wicked scheming was beyond comprehension.
"Courting death!" The Monkey was the first to grow furious.
He felt utterly humiliated!
The manifestation of the Primordial Chaos Patriarch had just retreated monts ago, and while the Monkey didn't say it out loud, he was secretly quite pleased with himself.
A mighty powerhouse retreating directly before him; what a truly unparalleled show of authority.
But now, not only had the adversary returned in force, but the entire situation had always been a ticulously crafted assassination trap, and he hadn't seen through it.
Brandishing his massive iron staff, the Monkey viciously struck forth toward a location within the void.
The iron staff instantly extended to a length of a million miles, resembling a celestial pillar, smashing down a vast expanse of skies and forcing out a figure.
That figure turned out to be the very manifestation of the Primordial Chaos Patriarch.
However, the Patriarch showed no fear, wielding a long staff of his own as he clashed fiercely with the Monkey.
The reigning emperor imdiately activated the City Protection Array, enveloping all guests within the imperial city. Simultaneously, he unleashed the Imperial Seal to counter the attacks aid at Ji Qi.
The old monarch's eyes were cold as death. Years ago, when he failed to ascend to the ancestral realm, he retreated into seclusion. In truth, under the protection of his ancestors, he avoided the severe injuries and impending demise that the world had assud. Instead, he had been silently preparing for a second attempt at breaking through to the ancestral realm!
But now, he was truly enraged!
Although Ji Donggu was a collateral mber of the Imperial Clan, he still shared the bloodline of the Ji lineage. Were it not for this token of family connection, the old emperor and his court would never have allowed him to take mbers of the collateral branch and leave.
They thought the mountains were high, the roads distant, and they would never cross paths again. But who could have foreseen that he would conspire with foreign enemies, return with murderous intent, and even seek to usurp the throne!
"Utterly courting death!" The old emperor let out a furious roar, ascending into the air.
Ancestral realm energy faintly radiated from his body. In so ways, the old emperor had beco almost indistinguishable from an ancestral realm powerhouse. He rely hadn't yet faced the trial of the Heavenly Tribulation.
At this mont, he infused the entirety of the Imperial Clan's qi movent into himself, achieving the combat power of the ancestral realm in an instant.
The reigning emperor wielded the Imperial Seal, hoping to intercept all the killing blows aid at Ji Qi. But his strength, ultimately, was limited. After all, he was only a peak Great Saint Realm cultivator. Moreover, he had been gravely injured before due to his efforts in aiding Chu Mo.
Thus, in this mont, he was clearly struggling to keep up.
Over a dozen elder Great Saint mbers of the Imperial Clan all unleashed their dharma instrunts, trying to block the attacks heading for Ji Qi.
anwhile, the Kun Fish Great Saint and the other six Great Saints charged out, joining forces with the Monkey to confront the manifestation of the Primordial Chaos Patriarch.
None of them cared particularly about Ji Qi's fate. To the seven brothers, the only one in the entire Luotian Imperial Clan worthy of their respect was Chu Mo!
Because Chu Mo had saved both the Monkey and the Kun Fish Great Saint, earning the imasurable debt of all seven brothers!
Thus, as long as Chu Mo remained unhard, they wouldn't concern themselves too much about other matters. Their engagent with the Primordial Chaos Patriarch was more an act of instinct.
The seven brothers had always been of one mind!
The previously low-profile Patriarch of the Jiang Family and Elder Vine, who had avoided exposing themselves, also joined the fray!
Intercepting those attacks.
All of these actions unfolded within an instant, too sudden and too swift!
Even the Holy Realm cultivators couldn't react in ti, let alone the completely bewildered Supre Realm cultivators. All they could feel was that the entire field of Heaven and Earth had fundantally shifted!
The City Protection Array was activated, the seven Great Saints had vanished, and suddenly several cutting sword intents appeared in the sky. Initially, they seed aid at Chu Mo, but they were actually targeting Ji Qi.
Everything happened so quickly, so quickly that even the slightly lower-level Great Saints were unable to respond.
At this mont, the responses of the Old Chu, the Demon Lord, and the Drifting Empress were unrivaled!
They imdiately raised defensive domains and unleashed their dharma instrunts to shield the group from the Yanhuang Domain.
The Demon Lord had been joyfully reunited with his long-separated wife and daughter, staying by Die and their daughter's side. However, his actions were lightning-fast just now; after deploying his dharma instrunt to protect his family, he instantly moved to Chu Mo's side. He also quickly realized these attacks were directed at Ji Qi. Yet, the Demon Lord showed no hesitation, striking out with a blade!
Apart from the Monkey, Chu Mo's reaction was the fastest!
Before anyone else could respond, Chu Mo first unleashed the Heavenly Mirror, freezing this section of Heaven and Earth in place. His speed even outpaced the activation of the City Protection Array!
Next, he summoned the Chaos Furnace, and with a swing of the short staff forged from the finger of a powerhouse, he struck at the first streak of sword energy heading his way.
Only after his intervention did the others begin to act!
At that mont, ti seed to freeze.
Observing the situation… the expressions on everyone's faces varied!
That montary stillness felt eternal, like ten thousand ages. Chu Mo's figure leaped forward directly.
In an instant, everything ca vividly alive.
The deafening roars of the Great Dao erupted instantly!
The attacks initially aid at Ji Qi were entirely intercepted by those who had reacted first!
One could not deny that Ji Donggu and his conspirators had set up a nearly perfect plan, seamless in its intricacy!
They had accounted for the old emperor, Chu Mo, the City Protection Array, and even the existence of the Jiang Family Patriarch and Elder Vine!
Only after factoring in every variable had they deployed this deadly sche!
It could be said that without the presence of the Monkey and the seven Great Saints, Ji Qi would almost certainly have t his end today!
The seven Great Saints, including the Monkey, didn't directly involve themselves with Ji Qi. However, their re actions alone carried such overwhelming authority that they created imnse pressure for even a powerhouse.
The mont they took action, the second attack ant for Ji Qi—which was the strongest strike—faltered under the Primordial Chaos Patriarch's hesitation!
The manifestation of the Primordial Chaos Patriarch roared furiously, wielding a mighty staff as he battled against the Monkey and his six brothers.
In the span of re monts, the skies darkened, the heavens and earth plunged into chaos!
The imperial city's qi movent-bound cosmic sky was shattered in an instant!
The Primordial Chaos Patriarch remained a completely uninjured powerhouse!
His attacks were far beyond those of previously injured figures like Zhong Caiyun, Patriarch Zi, and Patriarch Heiyu.
At the pinnacle of his strength, even a manifestation of the Primordial Chaos Patriarch retained boundless power. His assaults were so fearso that even the seven brothers struggled to withstand them.
But at least, Ji Qi was now safe!
Chu Mo's ancestral realm body radiated imasurable light, as the Great Dao within him thundered with resounding echoes. In this mont, his peak combat power burst forth fully.
After intercepting the attacks aid at Ji Qi with the others, Chu Mo defied the heavens, unleashing Heaven Slaying with a single strike that cleaved straight toward a peak Great Saint Realm cultivator from the Imperial Clan's collateral line!
That person's hair and beard stood on end, petrified by Chu Mo's strike. He let out a terrified scream, utterly shaken to his core.
On the other side, Ji Donggu tried to intervene but was sent flying by the furious old emperor's punch, spitting blood and staring in horror at the monarch. "You… you're completely unhard!"
The old emperor said coldly, "Not only that! Today is the wedding of my daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, and their spouses. You ca here to sever my Imperial Clan's lineage, but I'll make sure you all understand sothing: there is no regret in this world! I'll send them a true gift, and I'll send you traitors… a grand gift as well!"
As the old emperor spoke, his aura surged explosively, and a canopy of tribulation clouds gathered above his head!
The sight nearly scared everyone to death!
Even those within the City Protection Array froze in pure terror.
The old emperor… he was actually attempting to ascend to the ancestral realm at this very mont!
Insanity!
Truly insane!
This grand royal wedding had instantly transford into a storm of chaos, evolving into its current state. Not only was everyone caught off guard, but even the enemies themselves… were utterly stunned by the unexpected turn!
Chu Mo threw his head back and laughed heartily. "Grandfather, let help you!"
Saying so, he soared into the Nine Heavens, launching himself toward Ji Donggu and his cohorts!
Alone, he charged an entire group of peak Great Saint Realm cultivators, his blood energy staining the skies red wherever he passed!
With Heaven Slaying in hand, he unleashed his wood-splitting stroke, slicing the peak Great Saint Realm cultivator in two!
A peak Great Saint cultivator didn't even have ti to scream before perishing on the spot, their spirit and form destroyed. Only their bifurcated corpse remained, disintegrating bit by bit in the void.
This was Chu Mo's path!
The Path of Slaughter!
The overwhelming and terrifying power of laws left his enemy's body in fragnts!
Even a Great Saint's physical body could not withstand it!
So, as Chu Mo uttered those words, his second blade was already bearing down upon Ji Donggu!
"Starlight Kill!"
