Chu Mo said indifferently, "This time he escaped, but next time he might not be so lucky."

Hu Lie nodded, "Exactly, for an assassin, failing once means you should not strike a second time; that's the basic rule. He broke this rule and suffered a heavy setback this time. The next time we meet will be his end!"

Then, Chu Mo, Hu Lie, and Yue Qingcheng left together and continued forward.

On the heavenly road, message boards could not be used, but sound transmission stones could still be utilized. Although the speed of message delivery was much slower, it still could not stop the spread of various messages.

Throughout their journey, Chu Mo and his companions heard a lot of useful information from other cultivators.

"The most astonishing news on the heavenly road this time! Chu Mo's master and his suspected mistress have both stepped into the Emperor Realm, and they are all high-level Emperors. Their progress is almost unprecedented!"

"Chu Mo's mistress broke through from the Great Luo Jinxian Realm to the Emperor Realm in one breath, treating the Heavenly Tribulation as child's play. Even more terrifying, during her promotion to the Emperor state, thirteen supreme images appeared in the sky! Who else has had so many supreme images appear while ascending to the Emperor Realm?"

"Chu Mo's master is even more formidable. When he ascended to the Emperor Realm, there were no anomalies at first, and many who witnessed this scene thought the miracles had stopped. But then, suddenly, a supreme image emerged! It completely overshadowed the thirteen supreme images of his wife!"

"Having a disciple like Chu Mo, how could he be simple? Don't look at him as someone who ascended from the Immortal Realm. Now, who would dare provoke him?"

"Fortunately, those two have already exited the heavenly road; otherwise, all these young masters would be mere children in front of them, easily suppressed with a single slap."

"Why did they exit? Isn't it still possible to continue forward on the heavenly road after ascending to the Emperor Realm?"

"Are you stupid? They already reached the end of the heavenly road!"

"Isn't there still a long way to go?" someone else questioned.

Someone knowledgeable replied somewhat disdainfully, "The heavenly road is endless! The so-called end is one's own path! When there's no higher realm to ascend to on the heavenly road, it naturally means you've reached the end!"

Chu Mo then realized that his master and mistress had such a fortune. This made him incredibly exhilarated, even happier than his own gains.

Although the Demon Lord never showed it outwardly, Chu Mo knew deep down that his very proud master was gratified with his disciple's achievements but also felt a bit of loss in his heart.

Recalling the past years in the Mortal Realm, the Demon Lord was incredibly imposing, looking down upon the world!

The Demon Lord's strength wasn't just evident in the Mortal Realm. After returning to the Immortal Realm, he was still dominantly unmatched.

In Chu Mo's view, those young masters were nothing compared to his master—all pale in comparison!

What kind of unbeatable confidence? His master was truly unbeatable! He didn't need confidence! He was unbeatable!

But in the later stages in the Immortal Realm, the Demon Lord's imposing aura seemed to have retracted a lot, and towards the end, it was barely visible. This sensation made Chu Mo very sad, feeling a sense of a hero in twilight. He hoped his master would recover but did not know how to console him.

The Cultivation Realm is cruel, and talent is just that—unchangeable.

Fortunately, the Demon Lord truly had both talent and fortune, and Mistress Die as well!

This time, they directly stepped into the Emperor Realm, and high levels at that. After exiting the heavenly road, they truly became a dominant force. With his master's combat power, the invincible Demon Lord had returned!

Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie were both genuinely happy for Chu Mo; the stronger the forces around him, the happier they were.

Then, more news slowly came out.

Those young masters who stepped onto the heavenly road began to breakthrough one by one.

But not everyone could become a high-level Emperor. Most of the young masters, after their breakthrough, did not leave the heavenly road. This showed they still had room for improvement.

There were, however, not many rumors about Chu Mo, as there were almost no witnesses to his several battles.

Chu Mo, Hu Lie, and Yue Qingcheng naturally would not boast about it, and those who were defeated and had lost probably had no face to speak.

But still, one piece of news spread.

It was released by Qi Bo himself: "In my battle with Chu Mo, without sealing my realm, I did not manage to win. Therefore, from now on, I step down from the ranks of the young masters, and in the future, do not address me as 'master.'"

This news was quite shocking, and many who heard it initially thought it was not true.

Who is Qi Bo? He was an outstanding figure among the young elites!

Even when facing off against other young elites, his chances of winning were incredibly high!

Since the day he became famous, he had never been defeated. How could he possibly fail to defeat Chu Mo without sealing his cultivation?

Although Qi Bo never admitted he was defeated, if he couldn't beat Chu Mo without sealing his power, it essentially meant he had lost! Everyone knew that Chu Mo's cultivation level couldn't possibly match Qi Bo's.

If the two were on the same level, Qi Bo would most likely... be defeated!

Is Chu Mo really that strong?

Many cultivators on the heavenly road felt an irresistible urge to challenge and surpass him upon meeting him.

Those young top Heavenly Geniuses entering the heavenly road were all incredibly proud. Each of them had a heart that believed in their invincibility.

If they could defeat Chu Mo, wouldn't that mean they could surpass someone like Qi Bo?

Although Qi Bo declared he would step down from the ranks of the young elites, almost everyone still considered him one of them.

Kong Hongyi declared once again that he would defeat Chu Mo upon meeting him!

This was the second time.

Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie were somewhat indignant, especially Hu Lie, who became even more determined to feast on Peacock's wings.

Chu Mo, on the other hand, didn't feel much about it; upon hearing the news, he just smiled. There was nothing much to say.

If the above were considered good news, there was also a host of bad news spreading.

"Some cultivators have already perished on the heavenly road."

"The heavenly road seems peaceful, but it is actually full of danger!"

"Some Heavenly Geniuses exploded from absorbing too much essence energy!"

"Some cultivators encountered the indigenous people of the heavenly road and were slain."

"Some powerful beings on the heavenly road started attacking outside cultivators..."

In comparison to the inspiring good news, these pieces of news spread more widely and extensively.

"The heavenly road has never been peaceful. Anyone who thinks they can just waltz in and seize fortune is delusional," Hu Lie said gravely.

Yue Qingcheng nodded, "Yes, I heard early on that the beings on the heavenly road are extremely fearsome, as are those indigenous cultivators. Most of them are concentrated deep within the heavenly road. If one can't complete their heavenly road quickly and actually ventures deep inside, the further in you go, the denser the essence energy, but the more dangerous it becomes."

Chu Mo thought about the words a Saint from his past memories left him, saying a great opportunity awaited him on this heavenly road. But so far, he hadn't found it.

That might indicate that his opportunity lies deep within the heavenly road.

Chu Mo thought, raising his head to look at Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng, and asked, "Has anyone truly reached the end of the heavenly road? Not just their own path, but the very end of this road, has anyone reached it?"

Climbing the monthly ticket rankings is seriously challenging... a fierce competition. Sometimes, it's truly exhausting, and I've even thought about giving up, not wanting to compete anymore.

Honestly, striving for the monthly ticket rankings isn't really about the prize money. It's purely because having a goal and some spirit allows me to work even harder and burst with effort. Otherwise, I might not even have the motivation to update.

Let's keep going today!

Although I don't know how long I can keep this up, as long as you haven't given up on me, I won't give up on myself.
