It had to be said that Ji Mo was an anomaly. Possessing the Yanhuang bloodline, he had awakened an unimaginable extraordinary physique, seemingly able to transcend the Great Dao.
This had already broken through the boundaries of heaven and earth, thus heaven and earth could not tolerate him, and descended the strongest heavenly tribulation.
The elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, along with the yin, yang, and five elements, and various calamities capable of destroying worlds, descended in a frenzy.
At the same time.
The Underworld Blood Sea also retaliated fiercely, attempting to corrupt and assimilate Ji Mo.
Ji Mo's entire body was emitting a bone-chilling, bizarre, and evil black mist. His life force was almost completely devoured, leaving him a mere skeleton wrapped in skin.
He was in a dire state, caught in a pincer attack, his body bleeding profusely, his bones broken countless times. His soul light was dim, and he had been on the brink of death several times.
But he had endured it all.
Despite facing myriad calamities, his realm continued to ascend.
His cultivation finally reached the peak of the Immortal God realm, and he began to step into the Divine Path.
"I will use this tribulation to temper an invincible sacred body and condense the strongest divine spark," Ji Mo murmured, his ambitions vast.
His eyes remained clear, his indomitable will unbroken, intending to completely control all daos and embark on the path of invincibility.
Just then.
At the edge of the universe, within the boundless darkness, a terrifying ball of light ignited.
An eye slowly opened.
That eye was immeasurably vast.
Even if it merely squinted open a sliver, stars were but tiny specks in comparison.
The eye was cold and emotionless, devoid of any trace of sentiment. It was supreme, looking down upon all heavens and myriad realms.
Sensing the emergence of a dangerous factor, it briefly awakened, intending to nip the threat in the bud.
Soon, it discovered Ji Mo.
A killing intent flashed through the eye, emitting a terrifying beam of light.
Instantly.
The void twisted, time collapsed, and the laws of the Great Dao trembled. Wherever the gaze fell, all was destroyed.
Stars dimmed, and all heavens hummed, creating a scene of doomsday.
The beings of all realms trembled, their faces filled with despair.
What was happening?
Had the apocalypse arrived, and was the epoch about to end?
The cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Realm felt it most acutely, as that beam of light was directed towards their star domain.
The gaze pierced through the endless void, its target being Ji Hanhan.
"Danger!"
The Immortal Slaying Sword, the Chaos Bell, and the Investiture of God immediately sensed it and issued frantic warnings.
They had all battled with this entity before and knew its terror.
What sin had Ji Mo committed to attract the attention of such a being, just as he embarked on his cultivation journey?
He must not be allowed to die.
The three damaged Primordial Treasures harbored the same thought and instantly revived themselves.
The Investiture of God unfurled like a banner, wrapping Ji Mo layer upon layer, shielding him completely.
The Chaos Bell boomed, emitting brilliant light. Ten million energy ripples spread across the starry sky like a tsunami, forming countless layers of defense.
Simultaneously, it rapidly expanded, engulfing Ji Mo within its bell.
The Immortal Slaying Sword adopted an offensive stance, meeting the attack head-on.
Its sword light illuminated the sea of stars, chaotic matter boiled, and unparalleled sword intent poured forth madly.
But that gaze was simply too powerful.
It was indestructible, piercing through everything, possessing the might to cleave the heavens and earth.
Boom.
The sword intent was annihilated, and the sword light dimmed.
The already damaged Immortal Slaying Sword could not withstand it and directly shattered, turning into countless fragments.
Following that.
The Chaos Bell also succumbed, falling apart.
The Investiture of God, unable to resist, cracked like porcelain, breaking into several pieces.
The three Primordial Treasures, already damaged, were ultimately unable to block this strike.
Ji Mo was hit, his body pierced, and a shocking wound appeared in his abdomen.
Had it not been for his incredibly resilient body and the partial protection from the three Primordial Treasures, he would have been utterly annihilated, not even a speck of dust remaining.
He had once harbored grand ambitions, aiming to tread the path of invincibility.
He never expected the accident to arrive so swiftly, to be targeted by that eternal existence.
His ambition unfulfilled, his spirit extinguished before it could take flight, Ji Mo's gaze dimmed with immense regret.
He had planned to become powerful enough to fight against the darkness, but instead, his opponent gave him no chance to develop.
With such a vast disparity in strength, he likely could not escape this calamity today.
"Master!"
"Brother Mo!"
"Mr. Ji!"
Ji Mo's friends, family, and subordinates cried out in sorrow upon witnessing this, their hearts clenching in anguish.
Could it be that the invincible Ji Mo was about to meet his end?
The eternal being's strike could easily extinguish epochs, let alone a mere human.
Hum.
The Moon God Ring on Ji Mo's left pinky finger glowed, and a peerlessly beautiful figure appeared.
The Moon God manifested, her face etched with anxiety as she formed hand seals. A colossal phantom of the moon slowly rose behind her, and moonlight, imbued with immense life force, cascaded down, healing Ji Mo's injuries.
However, it was utterly useless, like a drop of water in a parched land.
Such injuries were beyond the Moon God's ability to heal.
In the Sky City, within the humble courtyard.
The crooked old willow tree by the pond erupted with boundless radiance. Its three thousand willow branches glowed, piercing through the void in an instant and traversing vast distances to appear before Ji Mo.
A torrent of vital energy, like an incoming tide, poured into Ji Mo's body at any cost.
At the Lesser Thunderclap Temple.
That Bodhi tree radiated with brilliant light, accompanied by grand Buddhist chants. Its leaves fell one by one, transforming into a rain of light that sprinkled towards the starry sky, supplying Ji Mo with nourishment.
For a thousand days, soldiers were raised; for a day, they were used.
Ji Mo had meticulously nurtured them, and now it was time for them to repay him.
The Bodhi tree shed all its leaves, and the old willow tree turned withered and yellow; they had almost exhausted themselves.
As spiritual roots of heaven and earth, they contained unimaginable energy, finally stabilizing Ji Mo's injuries and pulling him back from the brink of death.
Ji Mo's eyes reddened. With a casual wave, he collected the fragments of the Immortal Slaying Sword, the Chaos Bell, and the Investiture of God scattered across the void and placed them into the Moon God Ring.
Then, he raised his hand and sent the Moon God away from this star domain.
Because, from the depths of the universe, light began to flicker again.
That eye opened and closed, revealing a vision of falling stars, corpses strewn across thousands of miles, and all things withering.
Immediately, an even more brilliant beam of light descended.
The Great Dao exploded, and stars shattered.
Wherever the beam passed, everything was annihilated, vanishing without a trace.
This time, without the protection of the Primordial Treasures, what could Ji Mo possibly use to resist?
A ball of light emerged from Ji Mo's body.
A palm-sized jade disc, emanating primordial light, evolved three thousand laws, and positioned itself before Ji Mo.
Although it had constantly criticized and berated Ji Mo, the system, despite its flaws, was ultimately not a betrayal, intending to sacrifice itself to protect Ji Mo.
"You're useless in offense, and defense isn't your strong suit either. Why are you getting involved?"
Ji Mo struck again, sending the system flying far away with a single palm, intending to face it himself.
He no longer suppressed the backlash of the Underworld Blood Sea. Instead, he abandoned his defenses, allowing it to fully invade his soul and body.
Concurrently, he utilized his superior comprehension energy to analyze the laws of the Underworld Blood Sea.
"As long as the Blood Sea does not dry, my body shall not perish."
Ji Mo's blood surged within him, his vitality like mountains and seas. He finally comprehended the life-saving divine ability of Patriarch Minghe.
His body emanated an endless mist of blood, forming an ocean.
