Even some cultivators at the Great Saint Realm, in that split moment just now, failed to see clearly what exactly had transpired. The weapons of both parties had only clashed for an instant, so how could Zhong Sheng have suddenly let go of the God Slaying Spear, spouting fresh blood as he was sent flying backward?

Only a few people saw what happened clearly.

Several Great Saint Realm cultivators from the Zhong Family stood up abruptly, nearly charging forward!

"Thunderbolt!" A Zhong Family Great Saint Realm elder, shivering, cried out the reason that sparked everyone's curiosity: "He actually has command over... the power of thunderbolts!"

"How is it possible for someone in this world to be proficient in the way of thunderbolts? Impossible... Impossible!" Another Great Saint from the Zhong Family muttered to himself.

On the side of the Luotian Imperial Clan, the emperor's silhouette under the canopy became increasingly hazy. However, his guards, who had accompanied him year-round, could clearly sense the emperor's mood at this moment... was one of immense pleasure!

The witch sat there, stupefied, her stunning eyes filled with disbelief.

Zi Dao glanced at Liu Yunfeng, who also happened to look back at him, shaking his head with a bitter smile: "Don't look at me, I didn't know about this either. If the third brother fought me this fiercely, I reckon I wouldn't have had the chance to become sworn brothers with him."

Truly too powerful!

The power of thunderbolts is the most difficult force to master in this world!

Imagine, for a cultivator, the greatest calamity is the Heavenly Tribulation.

Even the supreme beings who reach the ancestral realm cannot avoid this problem. Especially the epochs' grand calamities, striking every thirty-six epochs... they are world-shattering!

The nature of such Heavenly Tribulations is unimaginable.

But with the power of thunderbolts in hand, it's not to say that one could completely ignore such Heavenly Tribulations, but at least, one would be able to handle them with much more ease!

This technique, even for supreme existences, is an irresistible temptation!

Ji Qingyu instantly thought of this, looking toward Chu Tianji. Chu Tianji smiled and shook his head: "Not as exaggerated as you think, this is the child's own path, it can't be taken by anyone!"

Really can't be taken away?

Ji Qingyu felt both joy and worry.

The horizontal strike Chu Mo had just delivered on Zhong Sheng employed the power of thunderbolts!

His Thunder Dao platform was already filled with the power of thunderbolts, which surged through their clashing weapons and sent Zhong Sheng flying with a single strike.

You're using the Lifeloss Bell to block the Heavenly Tribulation, no? No worries, I can offer you a taste of the Heavenly Tribulation!

Zhong Sheng could never have anticipated that Chu Mo would possess such a technique; even if he had thought of it, he couldn't have dodged it!

However, all of this was just the beginning!

The God Slaying Spear, after slipping from Zhong Sheng's grasp, seemed to sense a great danger, attempting to break through the void and fly toward the Heavenly Tribulation clouds above.

But Chu Mo's Heaven Slaying sword whooshed out of his hand, repeatedly slashing viciously at the God Slaying Spear.

In an instant, Heaven Slaying had already performed hundreds of millions of slashes!

In the void, that terrifying sound of metal clashing was so loud that it even overshadowed the thunderous roars of the Saintly Heavenly Tribulation!

The clash between those ancestral artifacts was beyond the might of the Saintly Heavenly Tribulation!

"My god, that blade... it's that notorious blade!"

"That's right... it's Heaven Slaying! The legendary blade that fell from Beyond Heaven!"

Many elders from ancient clans in the Luotian Immortal Domain had also quietly arrived. Although they were not at the supreme level, their experiences were so rich that even ordinary Great Saints could hardly imagine.

They knew too much about that blade.

Even previously, when Chu Mo possessed the Great Dao of thunderbolts, it did not shock them as much as this moment. But now, seeing Heaven Slaying unleashed its power, none could remain seated!

"That notorious blade... there really is someone capable of wielding it?"

"Isn't it said that whoever holds that blade will meet with misfortune?"

"In this world, there really is someone who can grasp that blade..."

A few elders couldn't help but shudder as they turned their gaze toward the direction of the Luotian Imperial Clan.

Underneath the canopy, the emperor's figure remained hazy, seated immovable like a mountain, emanating a holy aura.

An elderly Great Saint from an ancient clan finally couldn't help but murmur: "The depth of the Imperial Clan's heritage... is unfathomable... truly unfathomable!"

Boom boom boom!

The lightning in the sky continued to strike at Chu Mo relentlessly.

On Zhong Sheng's side, because of the severe damage suffered, his ability to control the Lifeloss Bell had also diminished somewhat.

Therefore, Saintly Heavenly Lightning finally bypassed the Lifeloss Bell and viciously struck him!

Zhong Sheng's face turned pale as he kept summoning various dharma instruments. The treasures on him even left Chu Mo a bit envious. So many holy artifacts, simply countless!

However, this was of little use. Because Chu Mo would not allow him to surmount the tribulation with ease.

"This is the style of battle you chose, then don't be a coward!" Chu Mo roared: "Come and fight!"

He stood in the void like a titan, his waterfall-like long hair fluttering, with a blood energy soaring to the heavens.

Above the azure sky, Heaven Slaying was fiercely slashing the God Slaying Spear, which could clearly be felt growing weaker by the moment.

This was a true ancestral artifact and it was being pushed to such a state. Unbelievable. In the hands of a Great Saint, an ancestral artifact could withstand numerous attacks from an ancestral realm supreme existence!

Chu Mo charged toward Zhong Sheng, no longer concealing his combat strength, going all out, his unimaginable mastery of the Dao was countless times more fearsome than that of Zhong Sheng!

This was still without employing the Tree Patriarch's Dao or the Six Syllable Mantra. Chu Mo was well aware that too many eyes were watching him, analyzing his combat strength and his Dao. So in this battle, he had to demonstrate peerless style yet couldn't expose all his trump cards to everyone's view.

However, all this was already enough!

Under his cross strike, Zhong Sheng retreated again and again, quickly being pushed to the edge of the arrays.

Because the battle between them was too terrifying, some cultivators not far from here saw the two fighting and even doubted the defensive capability of the arrays, subconsciously flying to the sides!

Boom!

Chu Mo's fist clashed with Zhong Sheng's, the surging power of the thunderbolt invading Zhong Sheng's body, ruthlessly destroying his cultivation.

"You want to traverse tribulation, don't you? I shall grant you your wish!" Chu Mo roared angrily.

The power of the thunderbolt bursting from his body had completely thrown this patch of void into chaos.

Even the supremes could no longer see his attack process clearly, and only martial artists at the Great Saint Realm could barely get a glimpse. Only a very few individuals could see everything clearly.

Slap!

Chu Mo slapped Zhong Sheng's face, directly smashing his head into a mess!

Zhong Sheng's physical body rapidly reconstituted elsewhere, but his blood energy and essence energy had weakened a lot.

In his eyes, there was no longer that air of disdain for the world, and his body no longer held that invincible belief. What remained was endless panic and… fear!

Chu Mo threw a punch, a straightforward punch without any disguise, but Zhong Sheng had no way to dodge and could only forcefully resist!

Then, a massive amount of thunderbolt power surged out along Chu Mo's fist!

Zhong Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, too many people could not sit still any longer. Whether it was the Zhong Family's camp or the Luotian Imperial Clan's side, almost everyone subconsciously stood up, staring unblinkingly at the scene.

Everyone had a feeling that the battle… seemed to be ending!

But... it didn't.

Zhong Sheng suddenly roared, "Descendants of the Zhong Family... there is no cowardice!"

"No!" Zhong Cheng from the stands, who had been maintaining his calm, suddenly burst out with a piercing roar, "Don't do it!"

But it was already too late!

Zhong Sheng's body exploded with a bang, turning into an overwhelming blood energy.

Then, a sonorous Dao sound echoed through the void: "With my blood as the sacrifice to the ancestors, Lifeloss Bell, avenge me!"

Zhong Sheng's body had exploded and turned into overwhelming blood energy. Almost instantly, it fused into the Lifeloss Bell at the apex of the sky, which was resisting Heavenly Tribulation.

In an instant, the Lifeloss Bell radiated a splendid glow!

Then, it transformed into a human shape, completely enveloped in light.

But judging from that figure, it was actually Zhong Sheng!

He had actually sacrificed himself through a secret method and merged with the Lifeloss Bell!

This was also the most ancient and most brutal secret method of the Zhong Family.

Once this method is chosen, the person is as good as dead, leaving only a spirit attached to the Lifeloss Bell. Even the supreme beings are unable to separate it.

Which means, at this moment, Zhong Sheng is already dead, leaving only a spirit.

Countless Holy Thunderbolts instantly lost their target, surging towards Chu Mo.

On the stands, the Zhong Family's camp was filled with mournful cries, as Zhong Cheng's tears poured down. He said in grief, "My son... why did you choose this path? Chu Mo... I will have you torn to pieces!"

On the Luotian Imperial Clan's side, Chu Tianji suddenly spoke out, "You cur, your death is imminent! I'll let you and your son keep each other company!"

Although almost everyone's attention was focused on the arena, the aerial confrontation between these two still shocked countless people. What shocked them the most was not the Great Saint Zhong Cheng, but the relatively unfamiliar Chu Tianji!

How could a cultivator who had just ascended to sainthood possess such conviction? Could it be that he, like his monstrous son, also had an incomparable battle power?

However, these people no longer had the time to think so much. Because the battle in the arena had erupted again!

Zhong Sheng, now merged with the ancestral artifact Lifeloss Bell, enveloped in enormous killing intent, directly charged at Chu Mo.

This time, his battle power... skyrocketed countless levels!

Bang!

With just one strike, Chu Mo's body was sent flying.

Chu Mo spat out blood in the void.

"Aren't you very powerful?"

"Aren't you very arrogant?"

"Weren't you shouting… that you would kill me?"

"Come on, then?"

Zhong Sheng's voice, coming through the void, sounded like a bell, filled with boundless hatred.

The body of Chu Mo, after hitting the luminescent barrier at the edge of the arena, bounced back. Hearing these words, he smiled and said, "Really sturdy... Merging with the Death Bell, quite creative. But, I'll still tear you apart!"

While speaking, Chu Mo wholly ignited the purple-golden bloodline within his body.

Then, the ancestral realm within him erupted with boundless aura.
