160: Balance

Thunder was still roaring, and the last borrowed Magic Treasure sword had already shattered in the lightning.

There was another roar.

Within the tribulation clouds, it seemed as though a Thunder Dragon was winding and coiling, and a lightning pillar as thick as a bucket, carrying Killing Intent, fell with a mighty crash.

It landed on Chu Mo almost instantly.

However, fortunately, he was covered in Magic Treasures, which helped him withstand most of the lightning power.

It was just that the xuanwu jade pendant had been almost shattered by the Shen Jian Sect's Sect Protection Array last time and had not fully recovered yet.

With just one such tribulation lightning strike, the xuanwu jade pendant directly entered a dormant period, completely dimming, needing to wait for its internal miniature array to slowly repair itself.

And at this moment.

Chu Mo was still enduring the Lightning Tribulation's bombardment.

He was also pressed into a shallow pit by the Lightning Tribulation, undergoing a period of frantic output...

"Cough, cough." Chu Mo pressed Blazing Sun beneath him, his blood-stained mouth constantly opening and closing, as Medicinal Pills were swallowed into his abdomen, transforming into pure medicinal power to heal his injuries.

"How long are you going to keep absorbing?! If you keep absorbing, I'm going to be struck to death by lightning."

This time, Chu Mo's voice received a response; the Blazing Sun sword body trembled slightly, and a faint Sword Chant emanated from it.

Chu Mo seemed to understand, gripping the hilt and standing up against the continuously falling lightning.

"Still absorbing? If you keep absorbing, both of us are going to be done for!"

Amidst the flashing electricity, Chu Mo stood holding his sword, his hair disheveled, and his eyes bloodshot.

His body sometimes emitted a violent aura, and sometimes a tranquil one.

On his body.

Half Dao, half demonic.

The marvelous melody of Dao and demon continuously bloomed around him, and the falling tribulation lightning was gradually absorbed by his body.

"So, only I get struck, and you don't? No way, if we're getting struck, we're all getting struck together!"

"Either you strike me dead today! Or I strike you dead today!"

Chu Mo took a step forward, his aura completely turning violent, and he fiercely and angrily slashed a sword towards the sky.

The heaven-shaking Sword Qi tore through the lightning and struck the tribulation clouds, and under this sword, the tribulation clouds were actually ripped apart.

And then.

The tribulation clouds seemed to be provoked, gathering again, their aura even more terrifying and profound.

Within the lightning.

Chu Mo, holding a deeply spiritual Magic Treasure sword, charged into the tribulation clouds with unstoppable momentum.

His aura grew deeper and deeper, and he had actually silently achieved a Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.

His Nascent Soul gradually grew under the terrifying Lightning Tribulation, then transformed into a Primordial Spirit, and even became tainted with a trace of the Lightning Tribulation's aura.

And at this moment.

Chu Mo reached the depths of the tribulation clouds.

There was no fear in his eyes, only the simplest thought: you strike me dead, or I strike you dead!

Within the tribulation clouds, the power of Heavenly Tribulation frantically gathered, gradually condensing into a figure.

It was a human figure, holding a sword, and its appearance was so familiar.

However, the current Chu Mo had lost all other consciousness, possessing only one thought.

Kill!

The lightning shadow, holding a great sword formed by condensed tribulation lightning, swung it towards Chu Mo in front of him.

"Ah--!"

Chu Mo roared, throwing his head back, his black hair wildly dancing, his entire body surging with Sword Intent, like a madman.

One cannot survive without madness!

Be it demon or Dao, success or failure all depends on a single thought.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided frantically, and terrifying lightning power enveloped Chu Mo; the top-grade Magic Treasures on his body shattered inch by inch under the terrifying power of the tribulation lightning.

Finally, with a 'boom'.

The tribulation clouds gradually dispersed under the violent clash, and large patches of fish-scale-like light appeared in the shattered cracks.

Within the light, Chu Mo was charred all over, his eyes slightly closed, falling rapidly.

If one observed closely, one would find profound runes flickering with faint lightning beneath his charred skin.

And as he fell, the Shen Jian Sect Disciples rushed into the sky one after another, vying for first place.

"Quick! We must be quick! Don't let him die handsomely! He cannot die, even if he dies, we must pull him back from the gates of Hell!"

"Medicinal Pills! Who has Medicinal Pills!"

"Fourth-grade Soul Restoration Pill!"

"What's the use of a fourth-grade! Bring out a seventh-grade, no, my Old Ancestor's eighth-grade Heaven-Returning Body Restoration Pill, accumulated over half his life, will be given to him today!"

"Not enough! Others, get your Medicinal Pills ready, don't let him die!"

As the super debtor who caused the damage to all the Shen Jian Sect's Magic Treasure swords, how could these Disciples let Chu Mo die just like that?

They had to pull him back from the gates of Hell, even if by force.

Otherwise, wouldn't their Magic Treasure swords have shattered for nothing?

After Chu Mo was rescued to the ground by the Disciples, his mouth was already stuffed with a pile of Medicinal Pills.

If he really died.

It would definitely be from being choked by Medicinal Pills.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Xie Xuan squeezed in from behind, came to Chu Mo's side, used spiritual power to help him refine the Medicinal Pills, and handed two lists to a Disciple.

"The lists show the losses caused by the Xuanxiao Sect Disciple Undergoing Tribulation in our Shen Jian Sect. You must deliver these two lists to the Xuanxiao Sect, one to Shen Qingqiu, and one to the Xuanxiao Sect Master!"

The Disciple took the lists and looked at them, his mouth almost unable to close, "Sect... Sect Master, isn't this too exaggerated?! We, the Shen Jian Sect, only have so little, and you..."

"What do you know? Who is to blame for our Shen Jian Sect becoming what it is today? Undergoing Tribulation and destroying our entire Shen Jian Sect, all our Magic Treasure swords, Sword Arts, main peaks, Sect Protection Array... all gone. If we don't ask the Xuanxiao Sect for something, how can we rebuild the Shen Jian Sect?"

Xie Xuan waved his hand, signaling the Disciple to quickly go to the Xuanxiao Sect to deliver the message.

The surrounding Disciples showed surprised looks.

The Sect Master's way of balancing the books...

Beautiful, simply too beautiful!

They were originally worried about how to get compensation, but with this arrangement, their losses would soon be recovered.

"Sect Master, you are truly superior!"

"When it comes to balancing the books, it still has to be the Sect Master!"

"I think we reported too little, how about we report more?"

A group of Disciples gathered in front of Xie Xuan, excitedly offering their suggestions.

The implication was that it was too little.

Ask for more!

Not far away, a group of Elders' mouths twitched, looking directly at Xie Xuan's master, Sect Leader Liang.

As if to say: Your Disciple seems to have changed quite a bit!

Sect Leader Liang said with a forced smile, "People, they always grow. He used to look down on this because he hadn't been in charge yet. Now, he's kind of living the life he used to despise!"

.......

.......

On the bed, Chu Mo opened his eyes and saw the bright moonlight.

"I... succeeded?"

Chu Mo carefully sensed himself; the spiritual power in his body was countless times more abundant, and even his Nascent Soul had transformed into a Primordial Spirit.

However, his Primordial Spirit seemed a bit strange; there wasn't just one, but two.

One Primordial Spirit was as ferocious and terrifying as a Hell Asura.

The other Primordial Spirit was like a Thunder God bathed in lightning, sacred and solemn.

These two Primordial Spirits indeed made Chu Mo extremely surprised, but this did not hold his attention for too long.

After only a brief study, he began to review his previous actions.

It seemed his emotions had been slightly out of control under the Lightning Tribulation.

"Xiao Die."

"I am here."

"What exactly did I do before? Recount everything to me."

Chu Mo called out to the Ghost Face Butterfly Queen, who was hidden deep within his Soul, and the Ghost Face Butterfly Queen's voice also came from his Asura Primordial Spirit.

...That's how it was, after Master lost consciousness, those Shen Jian Sect Disciples were so proactive, each one rushing to stuff Medicinal Pills into your mouth, they are all good people!

...However, Master's Undergoing Tribulation caused significant destruction. I heard that the Sword Pavilion, Cangjian Peak, and other main peaks were all destroyed, and even the Sect Protection Array was shattered...

But, they didn't ask Master for compensation; instead, they asked a Sect called... called Xuanxiao Sect for compensation!

Chu Mo's mouth twitched slightly after listening to Xiao Die's narration.

This way of balancing the books... is outrageous!

Did I become the Great Sage of Book Balancing?!
