Too stunning for words!
In fact, what really made the Demon Lord and Die famous were not the words of the cultivators who came from the heavenly road, but a few other things they did.
Including their realm, which was not as the cultivators from the heavenly road had said.
The Demon Lord and Die had not thought they would gain such an incredible opportunity on the heavenly road, nor had they planned to leave the heavenly road so early. They were intent on safeguarding Chu Mo.
Yet, they obtained the opportunity early and left the heavenly road early, which annoyed both of them, as they were concerned Chu Mo might be at a disadvantage.
But waiting idly for the apprentice's news was not the Demon Lord's style; he thought of clearing some obstacles for Chu Mo.
The biggest overt enemy Chu Mo had in the whole Heavenly Realm was the Zhuge Family, which had been entangled with Chu Mo ever since he entered the Illusionary Divine Realm.
Even though Chu Mo's astonishing background had been revealed, the Zhuge Family was still targeting him, both openly and secretly.
Thus, the first target for the Demon Lord and Die after coming out was the Zhuge Family.
Due to the opening of the heavenly road, many strong members of the Zhuge Family gathered here in the City of Heavenly Domain, including Zhuge Lang, who had tried to kill Chu Mo numerous times, and a few other high-ranking members from the Emperor Realm, also waiting here for good news from the family members who had entered the heavenly road.
Especially Zhuge Changfeng, a young lord of the Zhuge Family, carried the greatest expectations of the Zhuge Family for this opening of the heavenly road.
Those Zhuge Family lords staying in the City of Heavenly Domain were all very eager to see how far Zhuge Changfeng would advance.
Therefore, before this opening of the heavenly road, the family head Zhuge Changchun had forecasted that a rare great opportunity would appear on the heavenly road!
They were even more eager to see Zhuge Changfeng's performance.
But all these dreams, expectations, and hopes were abruptly ended when Zhuge Changfeng left the heavenly road early!
Zhuge Changfeng exited the heavenly road even earlier than the Demon Lord and Die!
On the heavenly road, his attempt to break through to the Emperor Realm had failed, and Chu Mo had outright seized his Dao fruit. Zhuge Changfeng, seriously injured, headed back, and what was even more unlucky was that his heavenly road journey also came to an end.
He was forcefully expelled from the heavenly road.
So much so that those guarding the entrance of the heavenly road couldn't believe that this young lord of the Zhuge Family was kicked out without any advancement!
It was simply unbelievable!
This incident also caused a sensation at that time.
Faced with various interpretations and inquiries from the outside world, the Zhuge Family kept completely silent, not making any response.
But some speculations still emerged. The one closest to the truth was many people's belief that this matter must be related to Chu Mo!
The Zhuge Family, being one of the top powers in the Heavenly Realm, didn't have many who dared to move against them.
And there were even fewer who had the guts and the strength to do so.
Chu Mo was definitely one of those who had the courage and the strength!
Although many lords of the Emperor Realm still looked down on Chu Mo, not considering him a threat, in his own realm, even one realm higher, Chu Mo was invincible... and this was almost universally acknowledged.
Though Zhuge Changfeng was a young lord at the true immortal realm, facing the audacious Chu Mo, what could happen was anyone's guess.
Especially since their hatred ran deep, and the Zhuge Family had repeatedly tried to harm Chu Mo, who in turn never ceased to retaliate.
The most recent incident was when the Zhuge Family, on their way to the City of Heavenly Domain, tried to ambush Imperial Master of Purple Smoke's warship, but were overwhelmingly suppressed by him, causing heavy losses to the Zhuge Family.
Therefore, it was highly speculated that Zhuge Changfeng's failure on the heavenly road was related to Chu Mo.
But the Zhuge Family, from start to finish, never made any response.
All of this, until the Demon Lord and Die openly knocked on their door, finally came to light.
The Zhuge Family in the City of Heavenly Domain boasted six leaders at the Emperor Realm, including one at the Seventh Tier, three at the Sixth Tier, one at the Fifth Tier, and Zhuge Lang at the Second Tier. It could be said that wherever they were placed, this was a force not to be underestimated.
Originally harboring a bone-deep hatred toward Chu Mo, the Zhuge Family, faced with the provocation of the Demon Lord and Die at their doorstep, was utterly enraged. Almost everyone sneered, believing that Chu Mo's master and mistress had gone mad, coming to deliver themselves to their deaths.
The first to strike was Zhuge Lang, who thought, "Why use a cleaver to kill a chicken?" To deal with these two weaklings, one of him was more than enough!
However, outside the City of Heavenly Domain, Zhuge Lang's head was shattered by a slap from the Demon Lord, and he died along with his primordial spirit.
This strike shocked the remaining five Emperor Realm leaders of the Zhuge Family, as well as some onlookers who had come to enjoy the spectacle.
No one expected that, before stepping onto the heavenly road, a cultivator, merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal, had elevated to such a high realm in such a short time!
To instantly kill a cultivator of the Second Tier of the Emperor Realm required at least the strength of the Sixth or Seventh Tier!
Especially to rise from a Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Emperor Realm suddenly, one should need many years to adapt, but this person... seemed to not need to adapt at all! It seemed he was naturally meant to be this kind of exceptional powerful being!
The battle of the Demon Lord shocked the world!
But what was even more shocking came afterward.
The remaining five Emperor Realm leaders of the Zhuge Family formed a battle array, surrounding the Demon Lord and Die, intending to completely annihilate them on the spot.
Because by now, things had escalated to a matter of the family's honor.
The proud Zhuge Family, attacked in such a manner and having an Emperor Realm member killed outright. If they could not retaliate, how could they continue to stand in the Heavenly Realm? How could they talk of surpassing Lingdan Hall to become the largest elixir merchant in the Heavenly Realm?
All five Emperor Realm leaders were renowned fighters, and their combat prowess could not be completely determined by their realms.
For example, the leader at the Seventh Tier of the Emperor Realm was definitely stronger than Die, who had also reached the Seventh Tier.
But what left everyone utterly astounded was, while Die's combat prowess might not have been terrifying, the Demon Lord beside her... was simply a supreme god of slaughter!
His combat experience and prowess completely overturned all spectators' understanding of cultivators from the Immortal Realm.
He first struck directly, chopping down the cultivator of the Fifth Tier of the Emperor Realm in an instant, utterly killing him in the void.
The cost was him sustaining two shallow wounds on his body.
Because Die was there, risking her life to block for him!
Husband and wife united, their tacit understanding astounded everyone.
Then, the three leaders at the Sixth Tier of the Emperor Realm were all severely injured by the Demon Lord alone!
The Zhuge Family's battle array had not yet taken effect and was already destroyed by the swiftly acting Demon Lord.
Then, the Demon Lord exchanged blows with the leader at the Seventh Tier of the Emperor Realm, severely injuring him internally before he left with Die, floating away.
Before leaving, he threatened, "The next time you target my disciple, I will kill one of the direct heirs of the Zhuge Family and see whose life, my disciple's or your direct heirs', holds more value!"
So domineering!
So ruthless!
"See whose life holds more value, my disciple's or your family's direct heirs!"
This statement quickly spread throughout the City of Heavenly Domain. People were shocked, but they also couldn't help but realize where Chu Mo's might came from.
With such a mighty and overbearing master, how could he possibly produce a weak disciple?
This very battle solidified the Demon Lord's standing in the Heavenly Realm.
Faced with the encirclement of six Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Zhuge Family: killing two, severely injuring three, and heavily wounding one... This record was enough to shock everyone.
After this battle, whenever people mentioned him, they no longer referred to him as "Chu Mo's master" but by the terrifying name that sent shivers down their spines—Demon Lord!
