Chu Mo lamented in his heart—it was a pity. He originally thought that with his full-force slash, he would be able to sever Luo Jue's arm. In the end, it was still just a hair's breadth away from success.

The time he had merged the two paths to give birth to the myriad of paths was ultimately too short. He could not truly unleash their full power; hence, although this slash wounded Luo Jue, it was already the limit of what he could currently achieve.

At this moment, the battle here had already attracted the attention of a large number of the native cultivators from the heavenly road. Countless individuals took to the sky, rushing over towards them.

The first ones to arrive happened to witness the moment when Chu Mo's sword struck out and the blood light bloomed on Luo Jue's shoulder, leaving them completely astounded!

"Lord Luo Jue... wounded? How is that possible?"

The people who arrived after were also standing there, dumbfounded and stupefied, unable to accept the fact that Luo Jue had been injured.

In their eyes, even if Chu Mo was extremely strong, at most he would only be equivalent to the battle power of the third or fourth level of the Emperor Realm. Not to mention Lord Luo Jue, even they, if confronted head-on, would definitely be able to suppress him easily.

The reason he managed to escape last time was entirely because Chu Mo's little tricks were too numerous and too strong.

He first set up arrays, making the Emperor fear to barge in. Then, he used the Drifting Empress's Nine Lives Technique to leave behind a fake body and directly made his escape.

Therefore, in their eyes, Chu Mo's battle strength, although also very strong, was surpassed by his schemes!

After all, he was simply a true immortal, how strong could he be?

But the scene before their eyes made all these lords of the Emperor Realm feel a sense of dread.

This young man, he wasn't just good with clever tricks—his battle strength... had actually become so powerful that even a being like Lord Luo Jue could be injured!

"Ahh!" Luo Jue let out an extremely enraged roar, elevating his fighting power to the highest realm. In front of these Emperors, he had actually been injured; he couldn't even forgive himself for the face he had lost...

In Luo Jue's eyes, which shone with divine light, endless murderous intent began to spread. He directly brought out a dharma instrument, which was a long spear!

"Heavens, Lord Luo Jue actually used the Heavenly God Spear!"

"This is my first time seeing this divine instrument!"

"To force Lord Luo Jue to use this divine instrument, Chu Mo's battle strength..."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, be careful..."

The cultivators who arrived later saw this scene and all revealed shocked expressions on their faces, startled by the sight.

Luo Jue had actually brought out his life-bound dharma instrument.

The long spear lay horizontal in the void, exuding an unparalleled and formidable aura.

It was extremely dangerous!

Hovering in the void, it appeared as if it had merged with the void itself.

Endless power of the laws encircled it, and the radiance it emitted was too blinding to look at directly.

Hum!

The spear, pointing at Chu Mo, let out an intense hum.

"I haven't used this spear in tens of thousands of years." A chilling light shot from Luo Jue's eyes as he looked in Chu Mo's direction, "Dying by its edge today, you should feel proud!"

Chu Mo was startled by the aura bursting from the spear, and the Heaven Slaying in his hand emitted a reluctant clang. Chu Mo spoke softly, "I know, it's not the spear that's powerful, but the master of the spear!"

A Quasi-Supreme wielding a top supreme dharma instrument naturally exuded even more terrifying power.

Chu Mo looked at Luo Jue and suddenly said, "The ruler of the heavenly road truly domineering, fierce and unparalleled, commanding in all directions. Gathering minions to weave the net, with confidence enough to capture a true immortal. The grace of your protection I cannot forget, one day I shall repay the debt. If you can't find someone, don't rage; please don't vent your anger on the mountain's edge. Embarrassed and disheveled, losing grace, the vast sea and sky—I'm gone."

Chu Mo looked at Luo Jue and suddenly repeated these lines with a smile.

Upon hearing these words, Luo Jue's body erupted with a torrent of blood energy.

Directly using the long spear, he aimed at Chu Mo's direction. Even if it meant exerting greater effort to search Chu Mo's divine sense sea after killing him, he would not hesitate!

He must kill this brat!

Too arrogant!

Bang!

The spear pierced directly through the void where Chu Mo was located, causing a large swath of the void to collapse.

At this moment, countless people at a distance burst into applause and cheers, loudly praising the attack.

Luo Jue's strike was indeed domineering and peerless; even a peak Emperor Realm cultivator would not escape a fated downfall under his attack.

But people soon noticed that Luo Jue's face was grim, without a trace of joy.

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't Lord Luo Jue just kill that kid?"

"Probably blasted the kid into bits, to the point where there's nothing left to find, right?"

"Eh? Turned into bits? Shouldn't be the case, right? Lord Luo Jue still wanted to obtain some things from that kid, didn't he?"

People whispered among themselves, then stupidly turned their gaze toward Lord Luo Jue's direction.

However, a few elderly Emperor Realm cultivators with extremely high realms seemed to sense something amiss, with one of them whispering lowly, "It seems that the kid has escaped."

"Escaped?"

"How is that possible?"

"How can anyone escape from such a terrifying attack by Lord Luo Jue?"

The surrounding people were immediately astonished; due to the old Emperor Realm cultivator's high status, no one dared to speak disrespectfully, but skepticism rippled through the crowd.

There, Luo Jue, his gaze exceptionally cold, stared at the place where Chu Mo vanished, feeling extremely suffocated inside. Listening to those surrounding discussions only aggravated his irritability. He stood silently, not uttering a word.

At that time, the surrounding onlookers also seemed to sense the anomaly, and they involuntarily shut their mouths, turning to look in Luo Jue's direction.

After a long while, Luo Jue finally let out a sigh, "He's run away!"

Whir!

A startled murmur surged through the crowd of onlookers.

People could hardly imagine how that young man had managed to escape under Luo Jue's fearsome strike.

And where could he escape to? On this heavenly road, cultivators from the Heavenly Realm could leave, but only after passing the tribulation and reaching the very end of the heavenly road in their hearts, could they depart the heavenly road.

Chu Mo had not undergone tribulation; his realm was still at the level of a true immortal. Thus, in everyone's eyes, he must have run to some place on the heavenly road.

A cultivator said, "Do not lose heart, my lord. We will dispatch all our forces, weave a net in the heavens and on the earth, and eventually we'll find that kid!"

"Yes, all of us will cooperate with our lord with all our efforts!"

The others also expressed their support one after another.

As the king of the heavenly road, even if slightly setback, he remained the undisputed ruler in the eyes of these native heavenly road cultivators.

Luo Jue, feeling somewhat powerless, waved his hand dismissively, and sighed, "Forget it, he's already left the heavenly road and returned to the Heavenly Realm."

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

"He hasn't undergone tribulation, how could he leave?"

Everyone was baffled by Luo Jue's words. They did not doubt the veracity of what Luo Jue said but found it hard to believe it was true.

"He... he may have already mastered a method to come and go from the heavenly road as he pleases, and in the future... all of you must be more vigilant. He could suddenly appear before you at any time," Luo Jue said, his tone low and filled with loss and even a hint of despair, "Remember, if by any chance... he appears before you, do not fight him. Immediately kneel and beg for mercy. Otherwise, you will die!"

After saying this, Luo Jue turned around and left. His figure was filled with melancholy and desolation.

A group of heavenly road native nobles looked on dumbfounded, watching that sad figure recede into the distance.
