Chapter 185: You, are you trying to stop me? (A 6,000-character chapter)

Chen Mo looked at the two people blocking his path, and without a shred of hesitation, he struck decisively.

Heavenly Law condensed, constructing a pair of divine fists in the void, drawing upon Heaven and Earth Power to smash toward the two Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists before him.

Chen Mo could actually guess roughly that these two were likely from a righteous faction of another world.

Their appearance now was to stop him, to prevent him from setting foot into the territory of that other world.

But it was also possible they were Demonic Path powerhouses.

Furthermore, even if they were righteous powerhouses, so what? The possibility that they might attack him could not be ruled out.

Strike first to gain the advantage; regardless of their background, deal with them first and talk later!

"This fellow Daoist, I am Su Hao Ning of the Su family of Xuanqi Mountain. This place is already the territory of our Xuantian World; I hope you will not enter. Wait until..."

A middle-aged man wearing embroidered precious robes and possessing a gentle and refined appearance spoke up.

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt boundless Heaven and Earth Power lock onto him, making his hair stand on end and his legs tremble.

He had naturally seen the scene earlier when Chen Mo fought those Demonic Path Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses.

One against six, in but a brief moment, killing two in succession and suppressing a puppet; such combat power meant that within the same realm, there was absolutely no one who could contend with him.

Therefore, even facing this casual strike from Chen Mo, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

In his haste, he circulated his True Qi, gathering Heaven and Earth Power to block, and hurriedly took out a White Jade Exquisite Small Tower.

The tower was only nine inches tall, engraved with countless Dao Marks, and the entire body was wreathed in mysterious precious light.

The small tower projected a phantom image; although it barely blocked Chen Mo's strike, several cracks appeared on the tower's body, and the precious light dimmed significantly, making it unusable for a short time.

A look of heartache appeared on the middle-aged man's face, but he could not care about that now, and hurriedly shouted, "We have absolutely no ill intent, I hope you will cease!"

As for the other person, he also gritted his teeth and took out a Jade Talisman; cyan mysterious light erupted, as if a Great Ability's phantom had appeared, forcefully blocking the strike.

Chen Mo did not feel particularly surprised by this situation; after all, this was just a casual strike of his.

Moreover, within the same realm, the strength of righteous Martial Artists was actually a notch higher than that of Demonic Path Martial Artists.

Because their cultivation techniques were different, making their foundations more solid.

And righteous inheritances were stable; let alone the Heavenly Human Realm, even righteous Martial Artists who had reached the Innate Realm had more or less some factional foundation on their persons, to be used for life-saving at critical moments.

"You two, are you trying to stop me?" Chen Mo said coldly, his gaze fixed on the two.

"I have absolutely no such intention; pursuing and killing the Demonic Path is a matter of natural justice. Please, fellow Daoist, go ahead!"

The handsome young man who had taken out the Jade Talisman spoke loudly, and after finishing, turned and left.

He naturally understood that as a righteous Martial Artist of the Xuantian World, if he really wanted to block Chen Mo from entering the world, the other party might not necessarily kill him.

But, Xu Ping would not gamble on that possibility; what if Chen Mo really did attack!

One only has one life, and he did not think that with his own strength he could block the other party, nor did he think he could beg for a path to survival from the other party's hands.

Even if his family were to avenge him later, what good would that do? His own life would be gone!

Su Hao Ning stood frozen on the spot, never having expected that Xu Ping would leave so quickly.

People often say, the older one gets in the pugilistic world, the smaller one's courage becomes.

How was it that he was clearly so much older than the other party, yet the other party's courage was even smaller than his own!

"Fellow Daoist, please go ahead, I shall also take my leave first!" Su Hao Ning did not dare to say another word, likewise cupped his hands in a salute, and hurriedly turned to leave.

Since the fellow Daoist who had accompanied him had already left, if he remained here to forcefully block Chen Mo from entering, then others would probably really suspect he was in collusion with the Demonic Path!

Furthermore, through that strike just now, he could perceive the gap between himself and Chen Mo even more clearly.

A county magistrate is not as effective as the official currently in charge.

Even if he had a powerful faction behind him, or top-tier powerhouses, if they were not behind him at this moment, their effect could basically be ignored!

They might suffice to deter some petty people, but facing a powerhouse like Chen Mo, they were useless.

Moreover, with the strength Chen Mo was currently displaying, even in the Xuantian World he could be called a top-tier powerhouse; those who could steadily defeat him would definitely not exceed the number of fingers on one hand.

"Haha, two idiots, they really thought they could stop him!"

The tall and thin old man watching this scene from afar through a Treasure Mirror mocked without any concealment.

At this time, among the righteous Heavenly Human Martial Artists in the world, if not all, at least eighty percent were watching Chen Mo fight those Demonic Path powerhouses.

Yet none of them went to block him from entering the world; it was because they saw Chen Mo's combat power was peerless, and even if they went to block, they couldn't stop him.

As it turned out, there really were two idiots who dared to block him without fearing death.

If they had really been tough to the end, they could be considered men.

But the moment they saw Chen Mo strike, they turned cowardly faster than anyone; this was truly losing both face and substance.

Mo Qianshan could not understand how these two idiots had managed to cultivate to the Heavenly Human Realm!

"These family disciples are just like this, accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong all day long, really thinking everyone else must yield to them." Dihe Daoist, dressed in red robes, smiled in agreement.

Unlike sects that cultivate disciples, when aristocratic families cultivate their descendants, besides looking at aptitude and comprehension, there is one most important point.

That is bloodline.

Direct descendants, even if their natural talent is slightly inferior, can still receive the best cultivation.

While collateral descendants, even if their talent is top-tier, are highly likely to be buried.

And even those born into the household or Slaves can be ignored even more.

Sects, however, value aptitude, comprehension, and moral character most when taking in disciples.

Therefore, under the same realm, the probability of two idiots appearing in an aristocratic family is truly higher than the probability of two idiots appearing in a sect.

Because having a good father is something decided at birth, while having a good master is not something decided at birth.

………………

Chen Mo continued to rush forward; although he had been delayed for a moment, it was not a big problem.

He soon discovered another Heavenly Human Martial Artist fleeing for their life, not that Palace Master of the Insect God Palace, but the black-veiled beautiful woman from before.

In addition, along this path, there were also several Demonic Path Innate Martial Artists fleeing, who were likewise quickly dealt with by his strikes.

In fact, it was not just him; other righteous Heavenly Human Martial Artists here were also looking for opportunities to eliminate these fish that slipped through the net.

"My lord, this Slave is willing to surrender to you. This Slave has practiced secret arts since childhood and possesses an excellent cauldron body. As long as you are willing, you may use this Slave as you please." She looked at him with seductive eyes, her voice gentle and melodious, while she subtly swayed her gauze dress to display her proud figure.

"This Slave also knows matters within this world; you can interrogate this Slave thoroughly later! Use any method you wish, this Slave can endure it!"

Chen Mo's expression did not change in the slightest; he still attacked with full force, preparing to first beat her into a serious injury, extract enough intelligence, and drain her value before killing her.

He could tell that this person practiced seduction arts and was skilled at bewitching people's hearts.

The other party indeed had little value, but he could learn a great deal of information from her.

Although he already had one Heavenly Human expert in his hands, Chen Mo did not mind having one more to cross-verify the intelligence he had obtained.

After beating her into a serious injury, he stuffed her into a Storage Ring just the same, and Chen Mo intended to continue his pursuit forward.

However, he felt a sense of bewilderment as he drew his sword and looked around.

Everywhere his eyes could reach, no matter how he searched, he could not discover the trail of the Gu God Palace Master.

Was it that the other party's speed was too fast, or were their concealment methods too strong, that they could vanish without a trace in such a short moment?

"Gu God Palace Master, you still refuse to surrender?"

Just at this moment, a thunderous roar resounded from afar.

Chen Mo activated his Divine Eye to observe, and only then did he see the Gu God Palace Master abruptly reveal his figure inside an ancient tree reaching toward the heavens, hundreds of miles away in the depths of the mountain range.

It seemed he had been lurking there previously, and because the distance was great enough, he himself had failed to discover him.

Chen Mo could guess that this Martial Artist who took the initiative to speak wanted to use his hands to resolve the Gu God Palace Master without any risk.

The Demonic Path was the Demonic Path after all, and everyone had the right to punish them.

Even if the Demonic Path came from the same world as them, they were still absolute enemies to one another.

Chen Mo did not mind this; having someone help find the Gu God Palace Master's trail was better than not finding it at all.

He strode through the air, covering over ten miles in a single step, and caught up to the Gu God Palace Master in the blink of an eye.

The wings on his back were still vibrating continuously, but the distance between him and Chen Mo was constantly shrinking.

"Boom!"

The tides of Heaven and Earth surged, and the phenomena of the ten directions trembled.

A mysterious phantom of a dharma wheel appeared under the interweaving of countless Dao Marks.

Chen Mo opened up the divine treasures of his entire body; besides the Mysterious Apertures of his feet, arms, eyes, and ears, the five internal organs of a person could also be transformed into divine treasures.

By using these ten divine treasures as a foundation to connect into one, causing the physical body to undergo a Mortal Transformation, a Martial Artist could step into the second level of the Creation Realm.

Although Chen Mo's Dao Marks were not yet connected into one throughout his entire body, even if it were only half, the power he could mobilize far exceeded that of Martial Artists at the same realm.

The divine ability he was currently displaying was the Five Elements Divine Wheel evolved from the foundation of his five internal organs.

A person's five internal organs correspond to the Five Elements; transformed into the Five Elements Divine Wheel, it could grind down all things in Heaven and Earth.

The Five Elements Force gathered, and the Heaven and Earth within thousands of miles underwent a great change; the Gu God Palace Master naturally could not surrender, and Chen Mo had no intention of capturing him alive either.

This person practiced the Gu path, and his Gu insects were treacherous; it was safer to kill him completely.

Additionally, it was because he already had two captives in his hands and did not need any more.

The Five Elements Divine Wheel rotated, drawing in the power of the ten directions of Heaven and Earth.

The Gu God Palace Master wanted to flee, yet facing this kind of pulling force, he could not make any effective resistance.

Countless Gu insects were suppressed by Chen Mo; he was already severely wounded, and having finally managed to hide and lurk, he had been seen through by someone after all.

At this moment, even fleeing for his life was somewhat strenuous, let alone resisting.

"My lord, I am willing to surrender!" he shouted loudly, begging desperately, praying to be able to live.

As long as he lived, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future; even as a servant, there was a chance to turn things around, but if he died, there would be no opportunities at all.

Chen Mo turned a deaf ear, and the Gu God Palace Master's pleas grew lower and lower until they vanished completely.

Confirming that he was dead beyond any doubt, Chen Mo then dispersed the Five Elements Dharma Wheel; his movements were extremely fast, and he suppressed the Gu God Palace Master with great ease.

Chen Mo made a grabbing motion, and a jade-green mantis was taken into his hand.

This was the Gu God Palace Master's natal Gu, raised within his dantian and cultivated alongside him.

The Gu God Palace Master was dead, but the natal Gu had not perished; Chen Mo kept it for now, preparing to refine it later.

Of course, he would not keep this Gu insect; who knew if the Gu God Palace Master had left any traps on it? Chen Mo would only be at ease after processing it thoroughly.

Carrying the Storage Ring left behind by the Gu God Palace Master, he flashed and left this world.

Now that he had displayed his own strength, the righteous path of the other world would likely change their attitude toward him as well.

Furthermore, the peace talks conducted by the ancestral spirits of the two worlds should also be able to truly proceed.

Only strength was the foundation of everything.

If he did not display his strength, this world would not even be qualified to negotiate.

Chen Mo returned to the Bian City of the Cangxuan World, the journey smooth and without any further obstruction.

The phantom of the Heaven and Earth Furnace he had condensed still existed there, continuously suppressing those thousands of Gu insects and that puppet.

Meanwhile, the remaining Innate Martial Artists were also successively clearing the battlefield and recovering from their injuries.

Although they had the advantage in the previous slaughter and had killed many Demonic Path Innate Martial Artists.

They themselves had also suffered many losses; three Martial Artists who had just entered the Innate Realm were killed in action, and seven more Innate Martial Artists were seriously injured.

The situation of the remaining people was slightly better, having only suffered minor injuries, and they were all currently consuming pills to heal.

Chen Mo took control of the Heaven and Earth Furnace; originally dormant, it began to rotate frantically once more, and vast Heaven and Earth Power was drawn in.

Countless Gu insects were turned into cultivation resources by him, and that puppet of the Heavenly Human Realm was also being ground down continuously.

Such puppets were troublesome to refine and possessed extremely strong combat power; Chen Mo still did not have much trust in Ziyuan Daoist, so naturally, he could not leave behind a puppet that could be controlled by him—it was better to deal with it first.

As a continuous stream of power surged into his body, Chen Mo guided it all into the Transformation Pearl.

The Heavenly Law on the surface of the Transformation Pearl was gradually being lit up, and the Qi and Blood within was constantly filling up.

After both increased by a full twenty percent, Chen Mo finally stopped.

Inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace, only one piece of divine metal remained at this moment; this was one of the main materials for refining the puppet.

Chen Mo did not refine it away, but instead prepared to keep it for the time being.

Such materials are hard to find, so refining it directly would be a waste.

Whether it is finding someone to use it to refine a weapon, or having that Daoist who is skilled in refining puppets help him refine a puppet, both are very good choices.

After putting away this material, the phantom of the Heaven and Earth Furnace gradually dissipated, and Chen Mo returned to Bian City to sit in command.

"The injured Martial Artists are being treated in batches, and I have arranged for people to send the remains of the three fallen Martial Artists back to their families or sects."

Zhao Xuanxin hurried over to report; he was also injured, but the situation was not very serious.

"Hmm, the forces behind these fallen Martial Artists may send people into the Ancestral Realm to select profound techniques and Secret Techniques."

Chen Mo nodded lightly, and after a moment of thought, he spoke.

For forces capable of cultivating an Innate Martial Artist, resources will not be lacking by much.

What's more, now that the two worlds are merging and the Heavenly Law is complete, more cultivation resources can be born.

On the contrary, those cultivation techniques and secret manuals left by predecessors stored within the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate are the truly valuable items.

"Good. I will arrange for people to do it right away." Zhao Xuanxin nodded in agreement.

Chen Mo looked at the situation inside and outside Bian City again, and after confirming that everything was fine, he opened a cave dwelling on the mountain behind him to cultivate.

Even though it was only a temporarily opened cave dwelling, he still gathered a large amount of Heaven and Earth Power and simply set up a few barriers to prevent anyone from peeking.

Chen Mo took out a bright green mantis, and with surging Blood Qi flowing, he began to refine this bright green mantis.

He could feel that there was a consciousness within this mantis, but he did not know exactly who it belonged to.

But none of that mattered; after several hours, the bright green mantis disappeared completely, and the power of the Transformation Pearl within Chen Mo's body increased by another ten percent.

It must be said that the resource accumulation that Heavenly Human Martial Artists can possess is indeed far superior to that of Innate Martial Artists.

He had not even processed their Storage Rings yet, and the harvest was already quite abundant.

He figured that if he completely digested this harvest, he should be able to carry out the next Mortal Transformation, and take the opportunity of the transformation to thoroughly enter the Creation Second Layer.

After refining the bright green mantis, Chen Mo took out another Storage Ring and began to carefully wear down the True Qi restriction on it.

This was an extremely troublesome process; Chen Mo had no choice but to use his own True Qi mixed with Blood Qi to constantly wear it down.

He had obtained a total of fourteen Storage Rings, five from Heavenly Human Martial Artists, and the rest from Innate Martial Artists.

Among them, the owners of two rings were in his hands; he could have them unlock the restrictions for him later.

He only needed to wear down the remaining twelve himself.

Chen Mo was in seclusion here, while waves were already rising within the Xuantian World; many Heavenly Human powerhouses gathered to summarize the intelligence they had gathered one by one.

"Everyone, the Ancestor is in seclusion, and I am temporarily presiding over the affairs of the Holy Land. I did not have the fortune to see the situation that day, so I hope everyone can explain it clearly."

A Martial Artist with a young appearance, red lips and white teeth, and a face like a youth spoke.

He looked young, but judging from the power fluctuations vaguely emerging from his body, this was definitely a top-tier Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artist.

"That person's strength is very strong. I once had a brief encounter with him, and in order to test his specific strength, I withstood one of his strikes.

The defense created by the Linglong Miaoyu Tower in my clan was shattered by him.

And that day, he fought six alone, first beheading two Demonic Path Heavenly Humans in succession, and then suppressing a puppet.

He himself was not injured, and while in pursuit, he captured two other Heavenly Human Martial Artists and refined the Palace Master of the Insect God Palace to death."

Su Hao Ning spoke; he had been repelled by Chen Mo's strike that day, and almost everyone present saw it clearly, so this matter could not be covered up.

It was better to admit it generously; he could even change the narrative, saying that he was checking Chen Mo's specific strength.

"Oh! Looking at it this way, this person's combat power is indeed peerless. Could he also be a sealed Ancestor Son? Now that the Golden Age has arrived, he has broken the seal and appeared in the world."

The young Martial Artist spoke slowly, his brows slightly furrowed, clearly thinking continuously.

"The New World has sent many spies and scouts to our world. My sect disciples have captured quite a few, and we have obtained a lot of intelligence using the Truth-Identifying Pill, but time is short, and it is impossible to determine whether this intelligence is true or false."

Mo Qianshan said slowly; the Truth-Identifying Pill can make people tell the truth, but the truth can also be deceptive, because the situation those people understood might not necessarily be true.

The young Martial Artist lifted his chin, signaling him to continue.

"That powerful Martial Artist is named Chen Mo. Within the New World, there are two imperial courts divided into Great Gan and Great Li, as well as many aristocratic families and sects.

That Chen Mo is very strong; he is the number one powerhouse of the other world, and he is not an Ancestor Son, but someone who has always existed."

Mo Qianshan spoke; in fact, the intelligence he had found was far more than this, but only these were considered valuable.

Moreover, before this batch of Xuantian Guard and Heavenly Net were sent out, Chen Mo and the others had already anticipated that they would very likely be captured by the forces of the other world.

Therefore, they simply did not know many of the more important matters.

Being able to know this much was only because Chen Mo had shown his face too much, and these things simply could not be covered up.

"He is not an Ancestor Son, then to say he cultivated to this level of strength by his own power alone, it seems his constitution is likely special.

However, looking at it this way, there is still only one Heavenly Human powerhouse in this New World."

The youth nodded in thought; he did not have too many doubts this time.

People with special innate constitutions can appear anywhere. That the other world could give birth to one can only be said to be good luck; it is not worth being too surprised.

"You didn't kill those spies, did you? Try to keep them alive for now."

The young Martial Artist looked at Mo Qianshan and instructed.

Since Chen Mo's strength is extraordinary, then even if he is the only one, they have to be cautious and take the other world seriously.

People who could have been killed at will, now, even if they don't care about Chen Mo's face, they must look at his strength and hold back a little.

"No, I have already had people lock them up, and we will deal with them later." Mo Qianshan naturally understood this principle and spoke immediately.

"Since the New World has such a powerhouse, the plan we previously set has been abandoned. Regarding the affairs of this New World, what other plans do you all have?"

The young Martial Artist smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

Plan before acting; the merger of the two worlds is also a massive event for them.

Many plans had been discussed long ago; now it was just a matter of deciding which one to use.

The numerous Heavenly Human Martial Artists debated fiercely, with both radicals and conservatives among them.

But their goal was very clear: the fat meat already in their mouths must never be let go.

Chen Mo was certainly strong enough, but he was only one person.

Those Demonic Path powerhouses from before appeared to have joined forces, but in reality, they had not truly united, lacking the combined support of an Array.

If six righteous Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists joined forces using an Array, Chen Mo might not be their match.

Furthermore, within their own world, there were top-tier powerhouses who firmly suppressed Chen Mo by a major realm, as well as Heavenly Human powerhouses who could contend with him within the same realm.

They still held a massive advantage, so how could they possibly abandon this fat meat at their lips just because of Chen Mo's intimidation?

As long as they could win, what they would gain was not just cultivation resources and population territory.

More importantly, it was Heavenly Luck; this point was the most crucial.

With the two worlds merging, this world could currently accommodate at most three top-tier powerhouses who had surpassed the Heavenly Human Realm.

They already had one, and Chen Mo, with his naturally special constitution and having pushed open the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate to receive the favor of Heaven's will, would inevitably occupy one seat.

As for the remaining seat, it would need to be fought over.

Whoever could obtain more Heavenly Luck would have a better chance of breaking through this realm.

Even if what they seized might not necessarily fall to their own faction, it would at least remain within their own world.

The only thing to be thankful for was that this kind of struggle, while incomparably cruel, would always remain within a controllable range.

Compared to a Demonic Path invasion where Chen Mo's world could not resist and would be completely occupied by the Xuantian World, the situation was far, far better.

"The Ancestral Spirit is calling; I must go for a moment. You may continue the discussion yourselves."

A streak of light flew over, and the young Martial Artist's expression changed before he vanished in an instant.

…………

Chen Mo looked at the thirteen Storage Rings before him; the powerhouses and resources of the other world were significantly more abundant than those of their own world.

Even Demonic Path Innate Martial Artists were able to use Storage Rings instead of Storage Bags.

By now, the restrictions on these thirteen Storage Rings had been completely worn away by him.

Chen Mo opened one Storage Ring first, his True Qi probing inside to inspect the scene within.

This Storage Ring was very spacious, containing a large number of cultivation classics and miscellaneous items.

There were also many temporarily sealed Gu insects; it seemed this Storage Ring must belong to that Palace Master of the Gu God Palace.

In addition, there were many cultivation resources, the vast majority being fist-sized rhombic hexahedrons, totaling three hundred and seven pieces.

They were milky white throughout, with vital energy flowing inside, emitting a lustrous, precious glow.

Chen Mo did not know their name, but he could feel the Heaven and Earth Power and Dao Marks contained within.

Moreover, the power contained in these rhombic crystals was quite substantial; one hundred and fifty pieces were enough to charge his own Transformation Pearl by one layer.

There were also some natural treasures, but the quantity was small, likely used mostly for feeding the Gu insects.

Chen Mo was very interested in these classics, as they would surely record matters concerning the other world.

Furthermore, there was another point: the Palace Master of the Gu God Palace could refine Gu insects that completely controlled others, and he wanted to see if there was a refining method within these classics.

If he could find it, it would be of great help for his subsequent control of the other two Heavenly Human Martial Artists.
