Then, a woman's voice as clear as a silver bell rang out from the void, "During the time of my Heavenly Tribulation years ago, you sneaked up and attacked me, causing me to almost die by heaven's thunderbolt. Now you are hiding in this mundane Mortal Realm to quietly pass through your tribulation, do you really think I couldn't find you?"
"The incident back then was my fault. If you spare me today, I will be forever grateful! I will repay your kindness in the Spirit Realm!"
"Bullshit! You want to erase so many years of grudges with just a single sentence, how can you be so naive?"
"Yellow Demoness, if you try to destroy my future, I will fight you till the end! We might as well die together!"
"Tch! I've long been wanting to die together with you!"
Boom, boom, boom!
Wave after wave of blinding lightning frequently lit up the sky. The heart-wrenching roar of thunder followed closely behind, sounding off explosively.
Chu Mo stared, dumbfounded, and muttered, "Did I just encounter... the most top-tier battle between Primordial Beasts in this world?"
The rooster responded half-heartedly, "Yeah, you're indeed lucky!"
Chu Mo was also completely gobsmacked and speechless. Who could have thought that things would transpire so unexpectedly? The path he had chosen, although a bit remote, was still within the boundaries of the mortal world. Who would have thought that in such a place, a rank-nine Primordial Beast attempting to cross its Heavenly Tribulation would appear?
And even more unimaginable was...
Boom!
A loud explosion came from the void, even stronger than the sound of thunder.
Then, the giant black serpent's body was faintly visible, squirming in the rolling black clouds. At the same time, the serpent's wild laughter echoed, "Yellow Demoness, you fell into my trap! Did you really think I didn't know that you were hiding secretly in this river? How naive of you! Don't you know, this river... belongs to your Grandpa Hei's territory? Even if you were to hide 500 li away, or even 5000 li away, as long as you are in this river... your Grandpa Hei can sense your presence!"
"Black Serpent... You shameful creature, I'll risk my life fighting against you!" The girl's bell-like voice was filled with rage.
Above the high sky, the rain was pouring fiercely.
A black and yellow figure were entwined in a fierce fight amidst the flashing lightning and the roaring thunder.
As the rain fell heavier and heavier, even with Chu Mo's sharp eyes, he could barely see the happenings in the sky.
Just then, the girl let out a scream, followed by the hearty laughter of a middle-aged man, "Yellow Demoness, you were born a thousand years too late! Otherwise, Grandpa Hei might really not be your match. But, the gap is the gap! Die! Grandpa Hei is entering the Spirit Realm!"
As he spoke, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly struck the giant black serpent from above the high sky.
The black serpent let out a painful grunt, but at the same time, unleashed a force that tore a huge rift into the void!
In that split second, Chu Mo and the rooster clearly saw a breathtakingly beautiful blue sky appearing in the depth of the rift. Then, the black serpent squirmed its way upwards, dashing into the rift at a high speed.
Despite hundreds of lightning bolts striking it at the same time, they could not stop it from entering.
Whizz!
The rift closed instantly.
The entire Heaven and Earth once again fell into darkness.
The rain was pouring fiercely, as if venting its fury.
Just a moment ago, Chu Mo even had an urge; if he could fly, he might really have tried to rush through that rift!
Because in that moment, in Chu Mo's vision, it was as if the lively girl in the blue skirt had appeared.
"Why are you howling?"
"Are you just showing off your loud voice?"
"Now that you're out, what can you do?"
"You're the monster!"
"Your whole family are monsters!"
One scene after another from the past washed over him. Chu Mo's face showed a touch of melancholy as he thought, how great would it be if I had the powers of that massive black python? Being able to easily tear open the void, to be immune to the lightning. And to directly rush into that world to find you.
The Rooster grumbled under its breath, "Really rotten luck, this damn sky...it just keeps pouring."
Speaking, it turned its head and looked at Chu Mo, "All thanks to you, picking this lousy path!"
Chu Mo woke up from his memories and glanced at the Rooster, "No one asked you to follow me!"
"Humph, do you think Lord Rooster is interested in following you?" The Rooster turned its head away sneaking a look at Chu Mo, thinking: This lad, he's got stuff on his mind. Even when Lord Rooster provokes him, he doesn't react much. His expression...why does it look like Lord Rooster missing his hen?
"Right, what was that yellow thing?" Chu Mo remembered the yellow silhouette, uncertain if it was dead or alive. That was a ninth-tier Primordial Beast!
If it's dead, the body of a ninth-tier Primordial Beast could probably cause the entire Four Symbols Continent to go mad, right?
The Rooster thought for a while, somewhat uncertain, "It seemed like a cat? Or was it a dog? Lord Rooster didn't quite see what it was. But it was a female!"
Chu Mo rolled his eyes, thinking that the yellow shadow just now, who talked like a young girl and called herself grandma, who wouldn't know it was female?
At that moment, a volley of dense lightning strikes pounded a certain area.
The Rooster squinted its eyes, muttering, "It should be over there! That black python...what a crafty mind, it tricked this blockhead to the core!"
"What do you mean?" Chu Mo watched the area being brutally attacked by thick clusters of lightning, his mouth twitching violently. He was thinking, if that lightning hit his body, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand even one strike, let alone this many. That thing was probably nine out of ten chances, dead.
The Rooster said, "You think the Heavenly Tribulation is that easy to withstand? Even though this is the Mortal Realm's Heavenly Tribulation, and its power is not as great. But correspondingly, the beings of the Mortal Realm... are not that powerful! So... this logic actually applies uniformly!"
The Rooster stretched out its wing, pointing to the lightning in the sky, saying to Chu Mo, "Each of those lightning strikes possesses formidable power. Even that black python would find it hard to withstand it completely. So even though it knew this yellow fool was planning to ambush it from the dark, it feigned ignorance. And then, suddenly began its breakthrough, the Heavenly Tribulation immediately descended. This... it was all meticulously planned by the python!"
"And then?" asked Chu Mo.
"And then, that fool was tricked, thinking that the python couldn't hold on. It rushed straight out, using its strongest force, wanting to kill the python. But it hadn't considered that once it displayed its full power, it too could attract the attention of the Heavenly Tribulation. So, it ended up helping the python by sharing half of the thunderbolts!" The Rooster snickered, "If you don't call it a fool, what would you call it?"
Chu Mo was left speechless by the Rooster's words, even though he knew that the intellectual capacity of a ninth-tier Primordial Beast far surpassed that of many clever humans. However, this was his first encounter with a true ninth-tier Primordial Beast, and deep down he had always viewed them as animals, which was a concept he was struggling to change.
As a result, after what the Rooster said, it seemed to make a lot of sense.
The image of a ruthless, cunning, and wise black python vividly came to life in Chu Mo's mind.
This was also the first time that Chu Mo truly regarded the intelligence of non-human beings.
And as for the Rooster? It didn't count!
Such monstrous thing, Chu Mo never considered it to be an animal. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to support me on Qidian.com with your recommended votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
