Chu Mo gently held Qi Xiaoyu's waist, his face softened as he said, "If a bunch of supremes really come, I'll cover you while you escape. You must not refuse."

Qi Xiaoyu stubbornly shook her head: "No!"

Chu Mo smiled: "So, no matter what comes our way, we fight! Over these years, our realm, just one step away from achieving Dao, is nearly there—just a breath away. Once we break through, we will succeed. It's a pity, the rules of this Heaven and Earth are tightly bound."

Qi Xiaoyu spoke softly: "Have you ever thought about achieving Dao in the Demon Clan?"

"Hmm?" Chu Mo raised his eyebrows.

Qi Xiaoyu continued: "When the Demon Clan descends, the Tunnel opens, and it's not one-way. They can come here, why can't we go there? Achieving Dao on their side, I think, might be much easier."

Chu Mo thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Impossible. The Demon Clan won't be unguarded against this. I fear the moment we arrive, we will immediately face catastrophic attacks."

Qi Xiaoyu also considered her suggestion unreliable after some thought, then added: "Let's imprint another array in this void. Even if those supremes come, we might be able to hold them off for a while."

Chu Mo nodded. He had come here a year early with this exact thought in mind.

Qi Xiaoyu began to bring out various top-quality materials. These were the collections they had amassed over the years, each of unprecedented value.

With Qi Xiaoyu assisting, Chu Mo took charge of array formation. His movements were composed yet swift. Even so, it still took nearly a month to set up a staggering array in this void.

This array was even more powerful than the one laid down by the Blood Demon Ancestor!

That's not to say Chu Mo surpassed the Blood Demon greatly, but because the materials that Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu possessed were far more abundant than those of the Blood Demon Ancestor. The reason why the array of the Blood Demon Ancestor was laid out bit by bit was mainly due to the scarcity of divine materials and he wished to keep the process secretive.

But now, this galaxy has turned into a barren cosmos, and Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu could set up without worry of being discovered by anyone.

One month later, an array was imprinted in this vast, lonely galaxy.

Chu Mo took a deep breath and said: "Though it may not hold them off for long, at least it will give them some trouble."

Suddenly, Chu Mo felt something and looked in a certain direction. Qi Xiaoyu blinked, sensing nothing unusual.

Chu Mo frowned and said, "Let's go over there and take a look!"

Qi Xiaoyu nodded, not asking further, but silently followed him.

Both of them moved extremely fast, shrinking the ground into inches, covering millions of miles in one step, speeding through the vast cosmos.

After several hours at full speed, they arrived in an unfamiliar star domain. Chu Mo then stopped, looking at a huge star system ahead, quietly saying, "It's there."

"What?" Qi Xiaoyu asked.

"Blood Moon!" Chu Mo responded, his figure flickering as he dove straight into that star system.

Qi Xiaoyu, slightly surprised, her face immediately showing delight, followed Chu Mo into the star system.

Having been with Chu Mo for so many years, Qi Xiaoyu certainly knew what Blood Moon referred to. The Cosmic Mirror on Chu Mo originally should have ten blood moons, but now only four were present. The remaining six were missing.

The two had searched countless times over the years without success, and ultimately had to give up. After all, they had more important things to do.

Unexpectedly, this time, they received information about the Blood Moon here. Qi Xiaoyu didn't even know how Chu Mo sensed it. Perhaps, it was credited to the Cosmic Mirror. Regardless, she was determined to help Chu Mo acquire this Blood Moon.

This would be crucial for the upcoming battle with the Demon Clan.

This star system was immensely vast, containing billions of stars. Under the illumination of countless stars, all other stars appeared like pearls set in the vast universe.

Chu Mo did not rush towards any particular star but headed straight for an enormous nebula!

This nebula was too vast; the giant stars comparing to it were like dust under the sunlight, utterly insignificant. The nebula displayed a multitude of vibrant colors, silently floating in this star system. Countless stars orbited it in a regulated manner.

As Chu Mo approached the nebula, suddenly a loud boom emitted from within.

A gigantic bird, incomparably large, with its wings beating the void, burst out from the nebula. The loud noise was created by the bird's wings striking the void.

The bird, a thousand times larger than the stars, immense and pitch-black like molten iron, exuded endless ferocity as it charged towards Chu Mo's direction.

Despite the massive size difference, the aura of Chu Mo and the giant bird remained nearly equal!

Chu Mo snorted coldly, feeling the aura of Blood Moons from the gigantic bird, and not just one but two!

Facing the bird whose presence could easily crush stars, Chu Mo's face showed no fear as he made his move. Holding the Heaven Slaying sword, he raised his hand and slashed!

This slash seemed casual, yet its power was astonishingly overwhelming!

The sword energy sizzled out billions of miles, like a cosmic ray, fiercely slicing towards the gigantic bird.

The power of this slash was so terrifying that it split the galaxy asunder. Countless stars turned into nothingness, and the entire galaxy seemed as if it was cleaved in half.

The body of the gigantic bird was sliced open by Chu Mo's slash, cleaving it into two halves, eliciting an extremely tragic scream!

This was a creature at the peak of the Quasi-Supreme Realm, an almost invincible presence in this universe. Thus, it did not take Chu Mo seriously before attacking, but it did not expect this human to be so terrifying. With one strike, its true form was severely damaged.

As the gigantic bird screamed, blood from the Quasi-Supreme Realm spilled across the void. The vast cosmic void was also filled with black iron feathers falling from the cleaved bird. Each feather was immensely large, much larger than the stars in the sky and extremely heavy. A single feather could easily smash a star into pieces!

Qi Xiaoyu made her move, beginning to collect these feathers, for the feathers of a bird of Quasi-Supreme Realm are naturally extraordinary.

Chu Mo did not pay attention to these things; his hand directly reached for two objects that fell out from the belly of the cleaved bird.

Those were precisely the two Blood Moons!

The gigantic bird became furiously insane; the two treasures it had nurtured within its body were snatched away by this human. It reconstituted its body, then launched a ferocious attack towards Chu Mo.

Unfortunately, such a level of attack would not have affected Chu Mo twenty years ago, let alone today, twenty years later. Chu Mo countered effortlessly, slapping the gigantic bird away and warned sternly, "These two items are related to me, I've taken them. If you persist in your folly, you will fall here today."

The gigantic bird roared, emitting strong divine sense fluctuations. It could not speak human language, but as a powerful creature, it could use divine sense to communicate intentions.

It said, "These are treasures I have nurtured for nearly a hundred thousand years, little boy, how old are you? Being of such high realm and robbing others of their treasures, do you have no shame?"

Chu Mo snorted coldly, and summoned the Divine Mirror of the Vault of Heaven.

The four Blood Moons on it shone with a brilliance that was dazzling, far brighter than the suns in the cosmic galaxy by millions of times!

The pitch-black cosmos was illuminated by this brilliance, dazzlingly so. Even ordinary emperors who dare open their eyes here would be blinded!

The gigantic bird was stunned as it also sensed the aura of Blood Moons from the Divine Mirror of the Vault of Heaven.

"This is mine!" The gigantic bird transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards the Divine Mirror of the Vault of Heaven.

Chu Mo raised his hand and slashed, directly decapitating the gigantic bird, and coldly stated, "Don't make things difficult for yourself."

The gigantic bird emitted a piercing and harsh cry, but retreated far back, then coldly watched as Chu Mo embedded the two Blood Moons he had taken from its body into the Divine Mirror of the Vault of Heaven. The gigantic bird was immensely furious and began loudly calling for help, as if summoning its companions.

The two Blood Moons that had been separate from the Divine Mirror of the Vault of Heaven for many years flew back directly without any resistance. At that moment, they truly awakened!

Buzz!

The Divine Mirror of the Vault of Heaven emitted a terrifying buzzing sound and shook violently!

It cleared all traces and auras related to the gigantic bird from the two Blood Moons.

Then, a piece of information transmitted into the spiritual sea of Chu Mo.

"Shining, Universal Illumination!"

A thought crossed Chu Mo's mind, it was indeed those two Blood Moons.

At this moment, the light from the Divine Mirror of the Vault of Heaven was even more resplendent and dazzling than ever before!

This brilliance even penetrated through this vast galaxy, illuminating the entire boundless cosmic void.

The gigantic bird that was calling its companions shuddered violently, then screamed in extreme terror and transformed into a black light, instantly disappearing into the nebula.

It was directly scared away!

However, the commotion caused by the Divine Mirror of the Vault of Heaven and the calls of the gigantic bird finally attracted other creatures.

Two green toads the size of grinding plates were leaping rapidly from a boundlessly distant place towards here. Each leap covered tens of millions of miles.

Qi Xiaoyu's eyes emitted divine light, exclaiming, "Frog Venerable!"
