No one expected Zhong Sheng to be so resolute and ruthless, to directly initiate the Saint Tribulation!

This was his attempt to take the shortest time, using the most ruthless means, to directly eradicate Chu Mo!

He wanted to strike a heavy blow in response to the emperor's recent words!

This move was nothing short of venomous.

The expressions of many from the Luotian Imperial Clan turned solemn in an instant. Even the emperor under the canopy, his figure shrouded in mist, shifted slightly.

Ji Qingyu gripped Chu Tianji's hand somewhat nervously.

Chu Tianji gently shook his head at Ji Qingyu with a smile, without saying a word, yet this gesture instantly calmed her down. Though husband and wife had not been together for many years, they still had a telepathic understanding of each other.

Ji Qingyu's understanding of her son was far less profound than Chu Tianji's. Thus, she was immediately reassured, realizing that her son was definitely in no danger.

Jiang Caiyue, Zi Dao, Liu Yunfeng, and others all wore serious expressions, their hearts also clenching with anxiety for Chu Mo.

In contrast, the witch Zhenzhen, sitting within the Luotian Imperial Clan's ranks, appeared calm. Her understanding of Chu Mo, while not as extensive as Chu Tianji's, was still substantial. She had a faint sense that Chu Mo was not afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The spectators around the stands all had different thoughts. Meanwhile, those of the Zhong Family began to beam with joy once more.

This was the Saint Tribulation!

It was no ordinary heavenly lightning, a single bolt could easily slay a supreme!

Even if Chu Mo had protective treasures bestowed by the Imperial Clan, what use would they be? Could a cultivator at the supreme realm defend against the Saint Tribulation with just one or two dharma instruments? Absurd! If the Saint Tribulation were so easily overcome, countless supreme beings would not have died unable to take that final step.

Crack!

The first thunderbolt struck towards Zhong Sheng with ferocity!

Hum!

Zhong Sheng directly brought out a small bell, which swelled against the wind and instantly became immensely huge.

This bell was extremely ancient, emanating endless Dao rhymes, and within those rhymes was a sharp scent of death! Even separated by the arrays, many felt their scalps tingle, as if enveloped by a bone-chilling cold.

"The Lifeloss Bell of the Zhong Family! That one... must be the true Lifeloss Bell!" someone exclaimed.

"Indeed, it's that bell. It seems that the Zhong Family places no less importance on this battle than the Imperial Clan…" said an elder among the watching crowd.

"That young man called Chu Mo, he comes from the Yanhuang domain? Can he really withstand this?" among the spectators, many were not familiar with Chu Mo.

"Under the alias Lin Hei, he rose to fame with a battle in the Trial Field, defeating the Heavenly Genius Xue Wulei of the Xue Family, and ascended directly onto the trial field's Heavenly Ranking. He must be quite a formidable figure," informed someone who was in the know.

In the arena, the battle had unfolded!

Zhong Sheng utilized the true ancestral artifact, the Lifeloss Bell, to contend with the Saint Tribulation, and simultaneously struck a palm towards Chu Mo.

This palm was overwhelming, carrying boundless power, as if to completely engulf Chu Mo!

The Heavenly Tribulation was also imminent!

At such a close distance, no one could escape the envelopment of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Zhong Sheng's palm strike, fierce as it was, was only to pull Chu Mo into the Heavenly Tribulation even faster.

Chu Mo could even see the ferocious light in Zhong Sheng's cold eyes!

Many in the stands saw it too, and even some powerful cultivators built numerous illusions in the void to more clearly observe the details of the fight.

When people saw the ferocious light in Zhong Sheng's eyes, many couldn't help but let out a gasp.

However, what followed left many people stunned as they saw Chu Mo's expression.

Because Chu Mo was smiling!

Yes, he was indeed smiling, and his smile appeared incredibly bright!

Just like... a person about to die of thirst in the desert suddenly seeing a water source!

Countless spectators were dumbfounded by Chu Mo's smile!

Including those in the Zhong Family's ranks. Some younger members couldn't help but mock, "Really foolish enough to laugh when death is imminent?"

"He easily gained the status of the Imperial Clan's relative, maybe he cares about the imperial grace and wants even his death to be with a smile!"

"Hahaha, too hilarious, I've never seen someone so idiotic!"

Boom!

A Saint Tribulation thunderbolt descended from the sky, striking directly at Chu Mo!

Above, the clouds of Heavenly Tribulation in the endless void thickened, surpassing the norm for a Saint Tribulation!

Because although Chu Mo had not yet stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm, the fact was, from supreme to saint, there's only one level difference in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. The "Quasi" realm is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao!

Therefore, strictly speaking, Chu Mo at the Supreme Realm was already qualified to transcend the Saint Tribulation!

Of course, under normal circumstances, almost no one would do so.

Chu Mo didn't bring out any dharma instruments, simply clenched his fists, and brutally counterattacked Zhong Sheng's palm strike.

A smile was on his face, but his eyes were icy cold!

This punch carried immense momentum and deadly force, smashing directly into Zhong Sheng's palm. The energy wave from their clash spread out in all directions, violently hitting the protective light curtain formed by the arrays.

The light curtain rippled slightly.

Countless spectators couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Zhong Sheng staggered two steps backward. Chu Mo, however, did not budge an inch!

Shock appeared in Zhong Sheng's eyes as he exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

"Weaklings like you, of course, cannot understand!" Chu Mo raised his hand and threw another punch at Zhong Sheng.

Splitting firewood to achieve the Dao, the way of the thunderbolt, the Nine Word Mantra... These three great Daos were simultaneously employed by Chu Mo.

This punch seemed ordinary, but its power... was enough to shock heaven and earth!

Eight or nine out of ten people in the stands couldn't see the profoundness of this punch. Only a few, feeling the aberration in Chu Mo's momentum, especially those cultivators at the Great Saint Realm, were all astounded. They could naturally deduce the power of Chu Mo's punch. Even if it were they themselves, this punch... would probably be difficult for them to withstand!

How is this possible?

The cultivators of the Great Saint Realm from the Zhong Family who were originally sitting still, two of them even stood up directly.

The cultivators of the Great Saint Realm from the Luotian Imperial Clan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene. Then, their eyes burst out with an incredibly bright light!

Under the canopy, the emperor shrouded in the light of qi movement gently exhaled.

This child is powerful!

This battle is won!

At this moment, the first bolt of Heavenly Thunder intended for Chu Mo had already struck him. A look of surprise flashed across Zhong Sheng's face; he seemed to see the scene of this arrogant man, facing imminent death, being burnt crispy by the Saint Thunder!

But that surprised expression lasted only for a moment; it instantly froze on his face.

Because this Heavenly Thunder, which even he could not bear, struck Chu Mo, and it disappeared into the void without a trace, as if a clay ox entering the sea... gone without a shadow or an end!

The Dao platform within Chu Mo's body that contained the way of the thunderbolt was running wildly, directly swallowing this bolt of Saint Thunder!

"This is impossible!" Zhong Sheng's mind went into turmoil. Even with his Quasi-Saint intellect, he could not deduce what exactly was happening to Chu Mo. How could he not fear the Saint Tribulation?

Boom!

Chu Mo's punch had already smashed into Zhong Sheng's face.

It was only then that Zhong Sheng thought to instinctively raise his hand in response.

Crack!

A crisp sound, and Zhong Sheng's arm was directly shattered by Chu Mo's punch!

That crisp sound also rang in the ears of those in the Zhong Family's camp, like a thunderbolt exploding in their ears, dazzling them with stars!

"Ah!" Zhong Sheng let out a short cry of agony.

Then, Chu Mo's fists rained down upon Zhong Sheng like droplets, with a frequency that caused even the cultivators at the Great Saint Realm to feel shock and fear.

Spurt!

Zhong Sheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He was hit by a series of attacks from Chu Mo, causing him severe injuries!

He had to flee tens of thousands of miles away in an attempt to escape from Chu Mo's close-range combat. Following that, he took out a war spear that emanated a desolate aura with a hint of bright red still on its tip. It seemed like someone's blood!

"God Slaying Spear!" Someone exclaimed from the stands.

"Another ancestral artifact? The Zhong Family actually gave this kid two ancestral artifacts?" someone who recognized this dharma instrument couldn't help but feel shocked and blurted out loud.

Zhong Sheng tossed several elixirs into his mouth, which were clearly extraordinary, and his wounds were rapidly healing.

Above his head in the sky, the ancestral artifact, the Lifeloss Bell of the Zhong Family, was still protecting Zhong Sheng from the Heavenly Tribulation.

Zhong Sheng fixed his gaze on Chu Mo, who was not taking the opportunity to pursue his advantage, and said coldly, "Chu Mo, I admit... I underestimated you before, but what of it? You're still going to die, aren't you?"

"I just hate your shameless stubbornness." Chu Mo said indifferently, taking out the Heaven Slaying: "I've been the one suppressing you in battle all this time, right? Your confidence is really something!"

"Cut the crap!" Zhong Sheng, with bloodshot eyes, charged directly at Chu Mo.

This time, on his body burst forth an incredibly terrifying aura!

This aura was infinitely close to that of a Saint!

Chu Mo was the same; as successive bolts of Heavenly Thunder kept striking into his thunderbolt Dao platform, the Saintly aura on his body became increasingly thick!

So much so that the surrounding observers were all stunned speechless. If they had not been watching from the beginning, they might not have been able to tell... who exactly had triggered this Saint Tribulation!

Because Zhong Sheng was always using the ancestral artifact Lifeloss Bell to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, but Chu Mo... was always using his body to withstand it!

Those bolts of Heavenly Thunder struck into Chu Mo's body, and it was as if he felt nothing at all!

Is this guy a demon?

At the scene, who knows how many people had this thought in their hearts.

Clang!

Zhong Sheng's God Slaying Spear fiercely stabbed towards Chu Mo.

That hint of blood on the tip of the spear looked incredibly eerie, giving off an unbelievable aura.

Chu Mo, holding Heaven Slaying, immediately radiated an even more bizarre aura, the bright red blade shining with a cold light that seemed almost solid!

Clang!

The two weapons collided fiercely.

Zhong Sheng let out a miserable cry, and actually let go of the God Slaying Spear as his body was flung backward violently.

What happened?

Countless eyes widened, faces full of shock.
