Zhang Shuangshuang gave Chu Mo a deep look, proudly raised her head, and then instantly activated the supreme artifact on her body, a palm-sized seal.
In the times of ancient ancestors, a great variety of supreme artifacts were crafted, among which seals, cauldrons, and fans as dharma instruments were relatively more common.
The seal on Zhang Shuangshuang's body, engraved with four ancient fierce beasts, instantly enlarged when fully activated, resembling a great mountain, pressing down towards Chu Mo.
The overwhelming pressure of the supreme artifact assailed from all directions.
Roar!
One of the beasts on the seal seemed to come to life, struggling and twisting its body manically, as if it was about to break through the wall-like face of the seal.
Despite the powerful seals, the sight of the beast on this side of the stands still sent a chilling fear rising from the depths of the hearts of countless spectators, who all watched with faces filled with horror.
A solemn expression appeared on Chu Mo's face.
In his hand, the Heaven Slaying blade began to gather a murderous aura.
Hum!
The blade itself emitted a sonorous ring.
Boom!
An earth-shattering murderous intent, gathered to the extreme… burst forth in an instant!
This aura, just right to meet the gigantic beast that had broken free from that side of the seal, saw both sides' momentum climbing to the pinnacle in this moment!
Zhang Shuangshuang's face was incredibly serious, having already pushed her strength to the limit. She could only activate one of the beasts on the supreme artifact, but to her, this was already enough!
This beast was not a fake; it was an ancient fierce beast directly sealed by her ancestor, a great power of the Supreme Realm, with mighty magic!
The name of this supreme artifact was the Four Beasts Seal. In ancient times, it had accompanied Zhang Shuangshuang's ancestor in battles far and wide, establishing illustrious military exploits and possessing immense fame.
The ancient beast, sealed within the seal, had accumulated endless resentment and fury in its heart; every time it was activated, it had to devour a massive number of living beings to barely quell its rage.
This time, seeing that its opponent was alone, it let out a heaven-shaking roar.
Its momentum reached its peak in an instant!
Then, Chu Mo raised his Heaven Slaying blade, whose murderous aura had also climbed to the pinnacle.
Swish!
He slashed at the beast with his blade.
Around the stands, an uncontrollable cry of surprise erupted.
"Good heavens… under such circumstances, he actually dares to confront it head-on!"
"That's a fully activated terrifying beast!"
"Zhang Shuangshuang's strength is indeed extraordinary, managing to activate one quarter of the supreme artifact successfully."
"Although her actions are somewhat shameless, one has to admit, she's also very strong!"
"How could there be any weaklings among those who serve under Lord Qiushui?"
"Look quickly…"
The people in the stands exclaimed and discussed fervently.
Next, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
The ancient beast, sealed for who knows how many years, with at least the power of the Emperor Realm, was actually split in half by Chu Mo's single slash!
The originally rampaging ancient beast let out an extremely frightened cry of distress… which also stopped abruptly because it had been cleaved in two.
Whoosh!
The ancient beast, split in half, turned into two streaks of light and drilled back into the giant seal.
Although it would not be completely destroyed by Chu Mo's slash, it was definitely greatly weakened; even if the supreme artifact could gather the essence energy of Heaven and Earth at an unimaginable speed, without a few hundred years… this ancient beast would not recover to its peak state.
Spurt!
Chu Mo directly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He staggered underfoot and almost fell; he steadied himself by planting Heaven Slaying into the arena floor and turned to face Zhang Shuangshuang.
Zhang Shuangshuang also knew that at this moment, Chu Mo was exhausted, barely clinging on. If she activated another ancient beast with the supreme artifact, she would surely win this battle!
Forcedly suppressing the shock in her heart, Chu Mo could cleave an ancient mythical beast with a single blade, which had already shocked her beyond measure. But at this moment, in her mind, there was only one thought: no matter what, this battle... must not be lost!
Ahpu!
Zhang Shuangshuang suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, sparkling with vitality, and even with drops of essence blood!
She had already sustained some damage to her very foundation!
But she was still trying!
She didn't want to disappoint Lord Qiushui, didn't want to see that look of disappointment in his eyes!
"Ah!"
Zhang Shuangshuang let out a shrill cry.
Boom!
In the sky, that colossal seal suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light!
This time, it was another side of the Four Beasts Seal.
Yet another ancient beast was frantically writhing on it, its roaring could already be heard.
InThe stands.
Tong Ying, anxious, urged Long Qiushui beside her, "Please make her stop, Lord Qiushui, Shuangshuang has no ability to sustain the emergence of a second ancient beast, she will die!"
Even Zhao Dongming couldn't help but look towards Long Qiushui, though he didn't speak, the intent was clear — he wanted Long Qiushui to give the order.
The other two young cultivators following Long Qiushui also looked towards him.
Long Qiushui serenely sat there, casting a somewhat strange glance at them, "Do you think... I can stop her now? This is her own choice, why are you all looking at me like that?"
Tong Ying instantly lowered her head, tears falling from her eyes, saying no more.
Her relationship with Zhang Shuangshuang may not have been particularly good, but she couldn't bear to watch her fall like this.
Zhao Dongming had been secretly in love with Zhang Shuangshuang and never showed it out of respect for Long Qiushui, but at this moment, he couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to shout, "Shuangshuang, stop!"
Zhang Shuangshuang glanced in the direction of Zhao Dongming, but what she saw was the expressionless and unresponsive Long Qiushui.
Then, a wan smile appeared on her face, and she once again frantically urged the seal suspended in the void.
Ao howl!
The ancient beast on that side had already poked out most of its body!
This beast, resembling a titanically vast crocodile, had scales like the sturdiest armor, glimmering with a metallic sheen.
A pair of cold eyes stared at Chu Mo, who was kneeling there.
Chu Mo, in turn, looked up at the ancient beast that was about to climb out of the seal. He bitterly smiled inwardly: he did not regret not making the slash just now, not because Zhang Shuangshuang was a beautiful girl, but because of what Hongyue had said.
He was merely feeling somewhat helpless now; the slash he had just made had nearly exhausted all of his cultivation.
Strictly speaking, his situation was not much different from Zhang Shuangshuang's; the real fight was between Heaven Slaying and that ancient beast emerging from the supreme dharma instrument.
He and Zhang Shuangshuang were merely activating two powerful weapons.
The difference was, Zhang Shuangshuang was a Heavenly Immortal peak cultivator, with a greater accumulation of power within her body than Chu Mo had.
So, after making that slash, even with the support of the Five Elements foundation, Chu Mo was nearly drained.
Chu Mo watched as the ancient beast slowly emerged, while also seeing the teetering Zhang Shuangshuang.
At this moment, Zhang Shuangshuang had already spat out three or four mouthfuls of essence blood. She was solely sustained by a stubborn conviction; otherwise, she would have already fallen.
For some reason, Chu Mo's aversion towards Zhang Shuangshuang had lessened a lot at this moment.
Could it really be time to use that trump card?
Chu Mo pondered, sincerely not wishing to use that trump card in such a time, at such a place.
