Inside there was a dazzling radiance that flashed out in an instant, making Chu Mo momentarily blinded, unable to see anything at all. Then, an incredibly powerful suction force sucked him in without warning.

The massive stone doors began to slowly close, gradually disappearing above the illusionary divine lake.

Just as Chu Mo's figure vanished, the entire illusionary divine lake... surged tumultuously!

Giant waves rose high into the sky, countless formidable creatures hiding in the lake appeared occasionally, their roars shaking heaven and earth...

However, there was no one who could witness this spectacle.

After Chu Mo walked in, he found himself on top of a mountain, in front of him was a heavenly pool spanning several hundred acres, like a magnificent gem embedded on the summit of the mountain.

The pool radiated a chilling aura, making Chu Mo shiver involuntarily.

"Is this...Water of the Five Elements?" Chu Mo's mouth twitched as he tried to verify it with his divine mirror, but to his surprise, the usually reliable divine mirror felt as if it had gone into a deep slumber, it offered no response to Chu Mo's attempts at communication.

Suddenly a dangerous presence emerged from behind him, Chu Mo didn't turn around, but he tensed himself up slightly, ready for confrontation.

The adversary seemed to detect Chu Mo's preparation and didn't make a move.

If they didn't move, neither would Chu Mo.

Both sides stood still, after some time, Chu Mo realized that the dangerous aura that was locked onto him was slowly fading away until it completely disappeared.

Chu Mo took a deep breath, finally relaxing, turning back to sit down, only to find his back was drenched with sweat!

With his current strength, even if he were to face an expert at the Foundation Establishment phase, he still wouldn't feel this much pressure.

More to the point, this is a place that suppresses one's ability to the Innate phase!

However, a sudden realization flashed across Chu Mo's mind... the Realm Spirit only mentioned the abilities of the outsiders would be suppressed to the Innate phase when they entered, but it never mentioned that the native species inside would also be suppressed!

"Damn it!"

After figuring this out, Chu Mo couldn't help but curse. Clearly, the being that was tracking him before was not an outsider, but a native species in this miniature world.

Based on the dangerous aura it carried, it must be a being at the perfect Foundation Establishment phase, or even a being at the Golden Core phase!

Outside, opponents of this caliber would hardly be a threat for geniuses in the Illusionary Divine realm and could easily be defeated with one blow.

But here...such creatures are invincible entities!

Not to mention the young prodigies, even Emperors would find it challenging if they encounter such beings here!

"Luckily, the opponent didn't launch a full-on attack." Chu Mo took a deep breath and turned his gaze toward the lake, his brows furrowing a little. Even if he didn't understand why his divine mirror was suddenly unresponsive, his instincts told him that the lake was unlikely to be the Water of the Five Elements.

If the Water of the Five Elements was this easy to find, it wouldn't be called the Essence of the Five Elements.

After the previous close encounter, Chu Mo didn't dare to be reckless anymore. He drew out Heaven Slaying and decided to approach the lake, thinking,"since I'm here and all I see is this lake, I should at least take a closer look."

Chu Mo slowly descended, and everything around him was surprisingly peaceful, much to his surprise.

There was no sun in the sky, but it was still very bright. The sky was cyan-white, which created a refreshing atmosphere.

However, Chu Mo remained watchful, his experience here, coupled with the Realm Spirit's advice, made him extra cautious.

Whoosh!

Suddenly!

An extremely chilling killing intent enveloped Chu Mo without any warning.

Only when the air tore with a sharp noise, Chu Mo felt a tingle at his temple… it was only the killing intent!

Chu Mo stepped on the Phantom Wind Step, his body swayed as if he was drunk and he stumbled forward.

Bang!

A giant rock that was tens of feet away from Chu Mo exploded!

Rocks flew all over, some of them were heading towards Chu Mo.

They hit Chu Mo's defence, making a dull thud.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Then...three more deadly intents shot towards Chu Mo.

Chu Mo activated Phantom Wind Step and narrowly avoided these fierce attacks. He looked angrily in that direction, this look, however, left him stunned.

A hedgehog, only slightly bigger than a human palm, was positioned in that direction, approximately twenty or thirty feet away from Chu Mo. Its tiny eyes were emitting a cold and ruthless light as it watched Chu Mo.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three more giant rocks were shattered over there.

But Chu Mo didn't look back, he was staring at the hedgehog, somewhat shocked and a bit amused.

If there was anything special about it compared to normal hedgehogs, it was that its body was snow white, unlike ordinary hedgehog's grayish hue.

This hedgehog was not only snow white, but its eyes were also bright red, emitting a spooky and cold light.

"Did I offend you?" Chu Mo looked at the hedgehog and couldn't help but ask.

For his answer, the hedgehog launched another attack!

This time, it shot five quills!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

And, these five quills were coming at him from three different directions - top, middle, and bottom!

Immediately followed by another five quills!

These five quills respectively blocked Chu Mo's left and right sides.

Three on the left and two on the right!

"What a cunning beast!" Chu Mo yelled, Heaven Slaying in his hand suddenly shone with a brilliant light. Soul Seizure Blade... had not only the Soul Seizure ability.

Its speed... was also unmatched in the world!

All ten quills, every single one of them was knocked out of the air by Chu Mo, no exceptions!

However, what shocked Chu Mo was, all ten quills remained intact and not a single one was cut off by Heaven Slaying!

On the contrary, the great force from each quill made Chu Mo's wrists somewhat numb!

"What the hell is this creature?" Chu Mo even took a nervous glance at the blade edge of Heaven Slaying, luckily, there was no change on the blade edge.

After the snow-white quills fell to the ground, they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and flew back towards the hedgehog.

"You throw them out and want to take them back? Dream on!" Chu Mo yelled, directly unleashing the Thousand Heavy Hands, capturing all ten quills in his hand, and without any hesitation, he threw these quills into the divine mirror space.

Something that Heaven Slaying couldn't cut was definitely a treasure, only a fool wouldn't seize such an opportunity.

Upon seeing the treacherous human stole his ten quills, the little hedgehog let out a furious screech.
