Chapter 401: Heaven Rank: Paramita Anatta

No Snow Under Heaven!!

Chen Mo finally used his Earth Rank.

White saber-light flashed the moment he drew the saber, and the entire abyss seemed to be enveloped in a vast snowscape. Pure white snow stretched as far as the eye could see. Clearly, this was not a snowscape, but that bone-chilling cold still could be felt nonetheless.

The fei yi had no chance to escape at all, and it was too late to use the Primeval Chaos qi. It did not expect that an Earthly Immortal was actually capable of using an Earth Rank Technique.

"Earth Rank, a Primordial Earth Rank."

The fei yi felt the power of the saber-light that cut into its body and sharply howled.

There was no other move more gorgeous, just an ordinary return of the saber to its scabbard, and the snowscape under heaven instantly receded to the blade's edge. The Fei Yi was already on death's door, laying battered and bruised on the mountain range.

However, it was a Primeval Chaos Demon beast, after all, an existence that shocked even Ancient Monarch Shang Tang. Against the powerful Earth Rank, the fei yi still used all its strength to rouse its body for a final struggle.

Chen Mo would not give it that chance. He slowly walked over, pacing over as if on a stroll, neither fast nor slow. Without rush nor delay, he drew his saber. All of his movements were as natural as a little bird soaring through the sky, a fish breathing underwater. 

A Dark Yellow energy that even did not lose out to the Primeval Chaos qi gathered in his weapon.

The fei yi finally felt fear, and even its Primordial Spirit trembled.

"Do not kill This One, This One can help you become even stronger."

"And how will you help me?" Chen Mo asked.

"This One does not know why you are capable of cultivating Dark Yellow qi, but presumably, Your Distinguished Self can also sense this Primeval Chaos qi also contains Your Distinguished Self's Dark Yellow energy."

Chen Mo's expression said, "Continue."

Pausing, the fei yi said: "This One comes from Maiden Mountain's lower realm, cultivating here by fate. This One has some understanding of Dark Yellow qi and has a secret art that can allow Your Distinguished Self to completely absorb the Dark Yellow qi here."

Chen Mo actually did not doubt its words. Whenever a Fei Yi appeared, even sages would wage war, for they were akin to the legendary hanba. That it cultivated in this place proved it was quite capable. "I don't have much time."

His fingers already gripped his saber's hilt.

The fei yi screamed: "It will not take long, This One can use its Primordial Spirit to help you."

"I can give you one chance, but I'm still not convinced by you." Chen Mo flatly said.

The Fei Yi crawled along the ground, its serpentine body shuddering as it awaited his decision.

"How about this. I will use the School Of Mind to sign a contract with you. Henceforth, you will be my slave." Chen Mo thought about it. It had been a long time since he used the School Of Mind's spiritual contract. This actually could solve the problem.

The fei yi did not dare disobey. It could only release its Primordial Spirit and be bound to a servant contract.

Then, the fei yi fully utilized their time to impart the secret technique of absorbing Dark Yellow qi to Chen Mo. The technique was very simple. The fei yi blew, and its Drought Evil Wind would roll the Primeval Chaos qi over. Having gone through the Evil Wind's power, Chen Mo would activate the secret technique, and the Dark Yellow qi in the Primeval Chaos would separate and enter Chen Mo's body.

However, this place was too rich in Dark Yellow qi. The fei yi had no choice but to use the power of its Primordial Spirit to help accelerate Chen Mo's absorption process. By doing so, it would suffer enormously, but there was other way unless it wanted to preserve its life.

The Dark Yellow qi was a formidable power from when ancient emperors ascended to Heaven. Regardless of just who this man was, to be able to possess such an ability, the fei yi did not consider submitting itself to his service to be a great loss; it had the chance to scale Maiden Mountain.

As expected, a few moments later, Chen Mo had mostly absorbed the Dark Yellow qi. This apparently omnipresent Dark Yellow Sword Qi entered his body and seemingly became a tiny lake. Surprisingly, he did not feel out of sorts or full at all. However, Chen Mo still felt that he had obtained much more of the scant Dark Yellow Sword Qi than before. In the future, he could practice the fei yi's cultivation method with more dedication.

Thinking up to this point, Chen Mo then looked to the Earth Origin Peal above him.

"My lord, that Earth Origin Pearl is the Primordial Star General's protection array. You must not take it." The Fei Yi's body shrunk more and more, becoming several inches long as it spoke in low spirits.

"Hm."

Chen Mo flew up to the Earth Origin Pearl and reached out to grab it.

The moment he touched the Star Array, he suddenly perceived all kinds of images. Upon careful inspection, it was actually Earthly Brave Star Sun Yueying. Thousand Snowpiles and Ten Thousand Clouds emerged. Presumably, this should be the array where that Primordial Star Name existed. Chen Mo snapped his fingers, and Dark Yellow Sword Qi easily broke the array. He then took the Earth Origin Pearl into his hand.

Having lost the support of the Earth Origin Pearl, the entire underground palace's Primeval Chaos qi began to recede.

Chen Mo did not delay and flew upwards.

…

The Earth Rank Long Snake Endless Rain injured Wang Yuanji's entire body. Even if the average martial general would not fall over, they certainly would show regretful expressions begging Shen Guang for mercy.

But this girl.

Whether she was arrogant or honestly too indifferent, even with a body covered in wounds, she would not fall. And because of this frightening concentrated power, Shen Guang's repeated attacks were still unable to rip apart the Commandery Princess Of Lanling's darts.

After a dozen Lü Clan Spring And Autumn disciples died to Shen Guang's Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff, these disciples' fury fled with its tail between its legs. Even so, Shen Guang still was infuriated by Wang Yuanji's apathetic expression.

"You should not be so detached in the face of death." Shen Guang flew by, finally striking down Wang Yuanji's Winding Stream Dragonfly Darts. The Meaty Flying Immortal moved about like a true ummortal, evading all attacks. Then, the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Sttaf swung straight for Wang Yuanji's gorgeous head.

A blow that concentrated all of Shen Guang's strongest energy, its might unstoppable.

Wang Yuanji was unable to move even in the slightest. She could only watch helplessly as the iron staff descended.

But just at this moment, a powerful arm took Wang Yuanji into its embrace. This arm acted as a shield that endured this strike. Wang Yuanji only felt that this man's chest was as steady as rock, that even his heartbeat was like stone.

Shen Guang was taken aback. She continued to thrust with her staff.

Her counterpart nevertheless swiftly evaded, and a second malevolent weapon already stopped her assault.

"Damned Servant Star."

Shen Guang grit her teeth at him.

Chen Mo.

"Be careful."

Chen Mo released Wang Yuanji. Leaving behind these words, he drew a line like flashing light that ripped space apart. Without any warning, Chen Mo's attack silently arrived right before Shen Guang's very eyes.

Wasting no words on her, Chen Mo only wanted to end this battle as soon as possible right now.

Shen Guang was very surprised by Chen Mo's speed. The Corporeal Flying Immortal possessed strong confidence in her own speed, having gone through many battles herself, but how could she have anticipated that this man's first move completely stole the intiative on her.

Do not think this will be able to seize the advantage.

Shen Guang sneered. She suddenly leapt upwards, and from far away, she appeared to be a blinding golden pillar of light rising straight from the ground. In an instant, she became a golden dragon rocketing into the sky, her immense might covering Heaven and Earth, fitting the devastated atmosphere. Before she even arrived, a storm formed from the atmosphere already blew the surroundings asunder. 

Dark Rank.

Dragon Cry!!

Shen Guang felt that killed a cultivator using her Dark Rank was already more than enough. The shadow of a yellow dragon flew out and coiled around her staff, and the dragon-shadow issued every kind of murderous intent. Following Shen Guang's figure, it pounced towards Chen Mo. Golden light flashed, her entire person already shooting straight as an arrow!

One hit certain kill!

Chen Mo's speed advantage was completely obliterated, and the distance between them seemed to not exist, as if once Shen Guang's staff had been raised, terrifying killing intent had already arrived before him, overcoming his own attack. 

A Star General's technique was incredible, as expected.

Chen Mo's expression tightened ever so slightly. Exercising his Star Energy, he brandished Northern Dipper. The Bagua's Gen Overturned Bowl subsequently followed, and the weapon carried an immensely oppressive wind. Although he had not seen Shen Guang's might, she followed alongside Yang Su back at the Sui Ye Star Kingdom. Presumably, she as not a simple martial general. Chen Mo did not dare be neglectful in the slightest.

Against her Dark Technique, other Earthly Immortals would already put up a defense. But Chen Mo attacked instead of defend, advanced instead of retreat.

Bang!!

Shen Guang's attack was like a torrential downpour battering Chen Mo's body.

A dragon cry echoed.

In a split second, she closed the distance to her target. That impact was sufficient to disintegrate the strongest of defenses. Furthermore, Shen Guang's lifetime of combat experience was fully displayed during close quarters.

Chen Mo's lips curled into a cold smirk. The next moment, the Northern Dipper Staff in his hands hurtled towards the iron staff with force that could topple mountains and overturn oceans. Iron staff met iron staff like two ferocious beasts charging and tearing at each other.

"A cultivator like you dares to contest me in close combat." That her Dark Rank did not achieve results made Shen Guang infuriated. Then, the woman deftly spun with movements the naked eye could not track, adding the enormous momentum completely onto the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff, slicing the air in an arc coming straight down from the front.

In terms of speed, this was swift both in name and reality!

Countless blinding sparks flew the moment the two weapons collided, shaking even the air. Shen Guang's full power attack mixed in illusory silhouettes, her speed swift beyond imagination, but no matter how fiercely she pushed, Chen Mo's defenses were as impenetrable as that indomitable Black Turtle. It was like there was no shudder at all, as if he was the most solid and heavy mountain.

Swifter speeds were unable to surmount an insurmountable heavenly moat.

Dammit, dammit. Shen Guang's voice quivered, but having sustained an Earth Rank and wasted too much effort on Wang Yuanji, she currently had no leeway at all. If she used another Earth Rank, if that did not kill her opponent, she may expose an opening that she could not recover from.

And Chen Mo was biding his time, waiting for this opening. When the time came, he would use Dark Yellow Sword Qi to slay Shen Guang.

Both sides held their breath.

Just at this moment, there was a din in the underground palace. A majestic force erupted like a volcano, spreading in all directions. Shen Guang's expression changed. This was bad. She hastily turned and fled, fully utilizing her qinggong to swiftly break away from Chen Mo's entanglement. Chen Mo did not expect her to be so decisive. He could only flick his finger at that rapidly departing figure, firing a ray of Dark Yellow Sword Qi.

Shen Guang suffered the Dark Yellow Sword Qi and let out a groan, but her escape nevertheless did not falter, as if she was a rat sensing an impending flood.

Chen Mo was in no mood to chase after her right now. In an instant, he arrived in front of Wang Yuanji and the Yu Sisters.

Heaven Devouring Demon King Xiao Mohe and Sun Yueying's battle had suddenly reached an explosive stage. Sun Yueying's flawless defenses showed an enormous opening. Then, Xiao Mohe finally seized her chance to strike with all her might.

Heaven Rank.
