At that moment, a series of rumbling sounds rang out in the distant sky behind them, and a vast sea of lightning descended. It was a sign that Qi Xiaoyu's tribulation was nearing its end.
Shrouded in dense light, the powerful being grew more and more impatient. It wanted to charge past Chu Mo and snatch Qi Xiaoyu out of the tribulation.
Chu Mo didn't utter a word. He unleashed his full strength as well. Although he wasn't a match for this powerful being, it wouldn't be possible for him to break through in a short amount of time!
The being was enraged, and each of its attacks shook the heavens. The already chaotic void became even messier. In the end, even the river of time was forced out. Both of their cultivations were simply too high. This time, the river was completely different from the one Chu Mo had seen in the past.
This time, the river was especially vivid and lifelike. Even the creatures within could be seen clearly.
A powerful humanoid creature stood at the head of the tide, wielding a rusted bronze spear and looking coldly in Chu Mo's direction. It looked like it was ready to attack at any moment.
An enormous creature tumbled about in the river of time like an enormous fish, its body hundreds of millions of kilometers long. It flickered in and out of existence, emanating terrifying and vigorous fluctuations.
Almost every cultivator had their own understanding of the river of time, but there was one point that everyone acknowledged. That was, every living being that appeared in the river of time had once existed in reality!
They might only have a single mark left in the river, but the power of that mark wasn't the slightest bit weaker than when they'd been at their peak. Therefore, any living being that encountered the river of time would be extremely cautious and fearful.
However, the glowing being didn't seem to care at all. It was intent on breaking through Chu Mo's blockade and rushing toward Qi Xiaoyu.
If he didn't make a move now, it would be meaningless once Qi Xiaoyu passed her tribulation.
What he wanted was the Dao Fruit that would appear when he transcended the tribulation!
The River of Time extended for a very, very long time in the fallen void. One could not see the end of it at a glance, and there were countless living beings in it. Just the aura that any one of them emitted was enough to cause others to feel shocked.
The existence that was glowing all over roared, trying to force Chu Mo into the river of time. Once they were pulled in, they would completely disappear from this world. Chu Mo had seen such a thing happen before. Thus, he gritted his teeth and resisted with all his might, not leaning toward the river of time at all.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe suddenly walked out from the river of time. He looked like an emperor of the human world, and his eyes emitted an endless cold light. Holding a seal in his hand, he smashed it towards the glowing existence.
Seeing that figure, Chu Mo's whole body trembled. Although he had never seen her before, he felt a sense of kinship with her in the depths of his heart.
The ancestor of the Imperial Family?
Chu Mo's heart trembled.
Boom!
The Royal Seal directly struck the glowing existence's body and exploded.
The being's body trembled slightly, and the light around it dimmed a little. Finally, its silhouette was revealed.
Although he still couldn't see its face, he could tell that it wasn't a person!
It was a humanoid monster covered in black scales!
After being struck by the imperial seal, the humanoid monster roared and sent a slap at the middle-aged man in the dragon robe.
With a swoosh, the figure retreated back into the river of time. From beginning to end, it hadn't said a single word. However, Chu Mo was deeply moved. Tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted to talk to that being. However, he knew that those creatures would not communicate with him. That would disrupt all of space and time!
Acting rashly like this actually carried a huge risk!
Thus, Chu Mo could only take advantage of the moment when the emperor attacked the humanoid creature to gather all the power in his body and attack the humanoid creature fiercely with his magic treasure.
Rumble!
The last bolt of violet lightning, unusually large, fell from the sky and struck Qi Xiaoyu.
Only then did Qi Xiaoyu summon an ancient artifact that looked like a small mirror to block the lightning.
Bang!
The thunderbolt struck directly on the mirror-like ancient magic item, causing it to sink down for tens of millions of miles. However, it stopped a few hundred kilometers above Qi Xiaoyu's head!
From a distance, it looked as if the lightning bolt had struck Qi Xiaoyu. Shui Yiyi was frightened out of her wits. The eagle patted its chest with its wings, then looked in Chu Mo's direction. This human … can even take on a grand supreme being head-on? He's so strong that he can't be any stronger, the eagle thought.
Chu Mo's divine runic armor flickered with starlight, illuminating the chaotic sky. Even the Grand Supreme Realm living being would not be able to do anything to the majestic power of the stars in his body for a while.
The River of Time also became clearer. The vast sky seemed to be affected by the River of Time, and some strange changes began to happen.
In fact, some creatures that were originally very weak would be infected by the power that leaked out from the river of time, and would instantly become powerful.
Boom!
The last bolt of heavenly lightning dissipated into thin air.
All sorts of powerful phenomena appeared in the sky, circling Qi Xiaoyu and dancing gracefully.
She'd finally passed her tribulation and stepped into the realm of the progenitor realm!
At this moment, the non-human creature covered in black scales glared coldly at Chu Mo. Without saying a word, it turned around and left.
Hum!
The river of time vanished.
Some creatures tried to crawl out, but the moment the river of time disappeared, those creatures were crushed into pieces …
The sky was still in chaos. Chu Mo stood there quietly for a long time without moving.
Only when the powerful laws of heaven and earth calmed the chaotic void and Qi Xiaoyu hurried over did Chu Mo move slightly. The divine runic armor on his body transformed into countless divine runes that flew back into his dantian.
Then, with a gurgling sound, Chu Mo spat out a mouthful of blood.
A being at the Grand Supreme Realm, but not a cultivator at the Grand Supreme Realm, was simply too terrifying!
If it weren't for protecting Qi Xiaoyu, Chu Mo wouldn't have faced such a being head-on. If he did, he'd run as far away as he could.
"Darling … are you alright?" Qi Xiaoyu couldn't quite restrain the fluctuations of a progenitor. There wasn't much joy on her face, only worry. Though she'd been focused on the tribulation just now, she was well aware of what had happened next.
Although there was no need for pleasantries between husband and wife to express their gratitude, Qi Xiaoyu's heart was brimming with warmth.
"Don't worry." Chu Mo glanced at Qi Xiaoyu and shook his head slightly.
At this time, Shui Yiyi and the Giant Blue Eagle finally arrived.
The blue eagle stared at Chu Mo in shock. "You were able to repel the mountain lord … that's incredible!"
"The mountain lord?" Chu Mo raised an eyebrow.
"It is a creature that only exists in legends, and it is the overlord of this generation. I've always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to actually exist. And it's so powerful. If it weren't for you, she would've been in danger today. "The blue eagle looked at Qi Xiaoyu and sighed.
"It's indeed very powerful," Chu Mo said after taking a deep breath. Although the broken bones and injuries in his body were under control, in reality, it wasn't that easy for him to completely recover. However, Chu Mo didn't plan on telling them. He could only worry the two women.
"Why did it attack at that time? Wasn't it afraid of the tribulation? Also, why did it leave right after the tribulation was over? What was it trying to do? "Shui Yiyi asked curiously.
"Legend has it that the mountain lord was born from the essence of heaven and earth. It's been feeding on all kinds of energy since birth. Its favorite food was all kinds of living beings that were undergoing tribulation. It devours their tribulation to obtain all of their cultivation and power. As for the tribulation, it shouldn't be afraid of it, "the blue eagle said, turning to Chu Mo." But I didn't expect you to be the same! No matter who it is, they won't have a good ending if they're touched by it. "
"In that case, it's only targeting living beings that are undergoing tribulation. Once that living being succeeds in transcending their tribulation, it won't attack them again?" Shui Yiyi asked.
"That's what my inherited memories say. But today is the first time I've seen such a being. It's too terrifying. " The blue eagle sighed with emotion. It was fortunate that it hadn't encountered this fellow during its tribulation.
"If that's the case, then it's fine. I'm just worried that it won't leave us alone, "Qi Xiaoyu said softly.
"Don't worry, I won't be undergoing tribulation any time soon." Shui Yiyi was a little frightened. She didn't want something like this to happen again. If something happened to Chu Mo, it would be too late for regrets.
"Let's leave this place first," Chu Mo said thoughtfully as he looked in the direction the mountain lord had left.
This thing was even more terrifying than the blue eagle had described. It was a venerated realm being after all. If it hadn't been stunned by Chu Mo's attack at the start, it probably wouldn't have retreated so easily.
When it left, it didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of unwillingness and disappeared without a trace. Chu Mo was very worried that the matter wasn't over yet. Therefore, he planned to leave as soon as possible.
In the next few years, everything was calm and peaceful. Nothing happened, and it was even to the extent that not a single Ancestor Realm lifeform that was ignorant appeared. Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
They felt that they might be out of the mountain lord's territory. However, they still felt a lingering fear.
Meanwhile, Shui Yiyi had finally reached the critical point of a breakthrough. They couldn't drag things out any longer.
