But deep in his heart, Chu Mo still felt very stifled and angry!
In terms of combat power, his current strength among his peers was absolutely unmatched in history. Those cultivators who had previously claimed to be Heavenly Geniuses, in his presence, had long lost the qualifications to be called geniuses.
But the enemies he faced now were far too powerful and terrifying compared to before.
His rate of progress was unparalleled, yet he still felt as if time was running out on him.
As his origin became clearer bit by bit, the ancient enemies also began to show up at his door. As to how powerful the Qin Family, which had preserved its strength for a hundred thousand years, really was today, probably no one knew. But from the fact that they had sent such a luxurious team to deal with a young man like him, one could make some guesses.
Perhaps, in the current Qin Family, there were many powerhouses at the Quasi-Supreme level.
Not to mention they had an old ancestor who was reviving, a true Supreme.
The enemies would never give you ample time to develop, so to carve a path in this harsh journey, one had to utilize every possible opportunity to rapidly become stronger.
On this path, Chu Mo silently practiced cultivation, comprehended the Dao, understood various Supreme Arts, and grasped the Nine Lives Technique. At the same time, he reflected on his actions during this period, wondering if there was anything he could have done better.
To grow, one must go through a process; to mature, one inevitably encounters pain.
Nine days after Chu Mo left the City of Heavenly Domain, he received the first piece of dreadful news that made him shudder.
The entire Mao Family in the Heavenly Realm was massacred. Except for Mao Shanhuh and Mao Hanhai, along with a dozen other Mao Family cultivators who escaped the catastrophe by hiding in the Heavenly Dao Garden, the whole Mao Family, including their ancestral land and seventy-some cities, were slaughtered overnight!
Along with those killed were countless innocents.
Those people, they were truly blameless, just ordinary cultivators living under the rule of the Mao Family.
But war... will never pity the innocent.
The one who took action was, of course, the Qin Family.
In that battle, the Qin Family paid a price, but it was negligible compared to the loss of the Mao Family.
This was the first significant move made by the Qin Family in the Heavenly Realm after their not-so-successful debut in the City of Heavenly Domain.
If they did not act, all was still; once they moved... it was earth-shatteringly ruthless.
The name of the Qin Family was, in an instant, shrouded in blood in the Heavenly Realm.
On the thirteenth day, Purple Smoke City vanished from the Heavenly Realm, gone forever.
The entire city, along with its countless citizens, was annihilated.
On the fifteenth day, Xuan'er and Xuanxuan's family were attacked by a mysterious powerhouse, but Xuan'er and Xuanxuan's family had deep roots and awakened an old ancestor at the Quasi-Supreme level who had sealed himself.
This old ancestor fought with his life and took down the opposing Quasi-Supreme powerhouse, and the attackers retreated.
Thus, Xuan's family escaped the disaster.
On the twenty-third day, the distant Tiger Clan came under attack.
But on the Tiger Clan's side, two deep-rooted ancestors appeared, both possessing the strength of a Quasi-Supreme. Two enraged old tigers annihilated the Qin Family's squad that had been sent there.
This was the Qin family's first true setback since they had unleashed a bloody storm in the Heavenly Realm.
However, after that battle, the Tiger Clan quickly disappeared, fleeing the ancestral land where they had dwelled for many years.
No one could withstand the Qin family's retaliation that followed!
On the thirtieth day, Yue Qingcheng's Yue Family was annihilated to the last.
By then, the Qin family's hands were drenched in blood, having retaliated against nearly all the clans that had participated in the battle that day.
Chu Mo watched as these messages continuously arrived on the communicator; he grew increasingly silent. He didn't respond to any of the messages from friends and relatives.
He did only one thing every day: silently cultivated!
The Chu Clan was not idle either. Facing the Qin family's frenzied retaliation, the Chu Clan's reprisals were equally fierce!
First, the Shui Family, where Yiyi belonged, directly sent a large number of strong warriors, picking fights with thirty-seven Qin family cities and killing all the experts within them. Although they didn't massacre the entire cities, it was widely known that those thirty-seven cities were almost utterly ruined.
Next, the forces of Hongyue, who controlled the Heavenly Dao Garden, began their retaliation against the Qin family. Almost overnight, a large number of the Qin family experts fell.
The Imperial Master of Purple Smoke was nearly driven mad; she personally took action, ambushing the Qin family cultivators everywhere. Regardless of their cultivation level, she struck to kill anyone she encountered!
If she faced someone in the Quasi-Supreme Realm, she would turn and leave.
Purple Smoke possessed an unmatched agility technique, and if she wanted to leave, no one could stop her.
Even so, it wasn't long before Purple Smoke was severely injured.
Fresh news appeared on the communicator each day; more and more clans in the Heavenly Realm began to be swept into this great war, whether willingly or out of necessity.
Don't want to take a stance? Impossible! Remain neutral? Unacceptable!
Only two choices remained: side with the Chu family, or... the Qin family.
The Heavenly Realm had completely changed.
War arose, and no one could stop it.
"The Qin family intends to use this opportunity to unify the entire Heavenly Realm and become its overlord. They have waited for this day for a hundred thousand years," Bian Kaiyu sat next to Chu Mo and said softly, "At a time like this, whoever stands in their way will be crushed! So, Young Master, you needn't blame yourself. While it seems that this situation was triggered by that previous incident... at most, that incident was just a catalyst. Even without it, the Qin family would have definitely taken these actions."
Having stayed by Chu Mo's side this whole time, Bian Kaiyu knew too much about these matters in the Heavenly Realm. He was consoling Chu Mo because he could clearly sense Chu Mo's silence and his intense cultivation during these days.
In Bian Kaiyu's view, this was not a good thing.
Pressure creates motivation, but too much pressure could crush a person.
"I know and understand all that you are saying. But do you know? The Qin family's victims are all clans that were associated with the Chu Clan in years past. Watching these clans being wiped out one by one and being a descendant of the Chu Clan myself, unable to do anything about it... I feel deeply saddened," Chu Mo said softly, his emotions sinking.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" World-Dominating Biao, who had been released by Chu Mo, suddenly interjected.
Chu Mo glanced at it: "Speak."
World-Dominating Biao said, "Actually, Young Master, you're already outstanding enough, and I'm not just flattering you; it's a fact. I've heard many legends about that glorious epoch from a previous era. Even those supremes of that time, at your age, were certainly not as exceptional as you."
"Yes, in that era, the rules of Heaven and Earth hadn't changed. Although becoming supreme was difficult, it was not utterly hopeless like it is now. To put it this way, if the young elites of this era were placed in an epoch past, at least half... could have set foot on the path to becoming supreme. It's merely a case of being born at the wrong time," Bian Kaiyu added, "And Young Master... is far superior to those young elites. In fact, these people are completely unworthy of being compared to the Young Master!"
