361: When gods fight, mortals suffer

“This place is not suitable for long stays; we must leave quickly!”

After Chu Mo rescued Long Aotian, who was imprisoned beneath the Immortal Source Pool, the Lust Demoness dared not delay for a moment and immediately urged him to leave.

The Heavenly Palace was shaking violently.

The Void Realm was also gradually collapsing, and gray matter, capable of annihilating everything, was constantly spreading, devouring all living beings in this space.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Palace was located at the center of the Void Realm.

Therefore, there was still time to escape this realm.

One Human, one Dragon, and one Demon exited the Heavenly Palace.

They saw a gateway embedded in the Void Realm.

An ancient staircase extended from the gateway all the way to the Xuanling Continent.

Four words involuntarily appeared in Chu Mo’s mind.

Void Ancient Road!

This was also the only passage to leave the Void Realm.

“You two wait for me outside the Void Ancient Road; I’m going to the Xuanling Continent.”

Chu Mo immediately flew towards the Xuanling Continent.

Shen Qingqiu and a group of Rebellious Disciples were still up there.

He couldn't just run away and disregard their lives.

“No! We must leave now!”

The Lust Demoness would not allow Chu Mo to waste any more time.

This realm had reached its end.

Even an Immortal Lord would find it difficult to escape in such circumstances, let alone them.

“Instead of blocking my way and standing here, why don’t you come with me to the Xuanling Continent to find them? That way, I can save time.”

Chu Mo flew towards the Xuanling Continent, brushing past the Lust Demoness.

The time spent arguing...

Would be enough for him to find the people and return.

But before he could enter the Xuanling Continent.

The Xuanling Continent disintegrated right before his eyes.

“This...” Chu Mo was stunned.

Before he could process any other emotions, half a Demon Spear pierced through the Void Realm, and a tattered scroll covered the sky, contending with the Demon Spear.

A suffocating aura pressed down on the entire Void Realm, and the collision between the two was terrifying, with dazzling light tearing through the Void Realm, as if it were going to destroy this space.

“Quickly, go!”

The Lust Demoness stepped forward, grabbed Chu Mo’s shoulder, called out to Long Aotian, and then plunged into the Void Ancient Road.

“Was that... Xuan Ling and Wan Hai’s true forms?” Chu Mo still felt a lingering fear.

The robberylight generated by that collision was too terrifying. Even though he had now ascended to the Immortal Realm, if he were hit by any single ray of robberylight, there would definitely be nothing left of him.

The Lust Demoness didn't care about Chu Mo's feelings, as long as he wasn't dead and didn't implicate her.

At the same time, she cursed Xuan Ling's ancestors eighteen generations back in her heart.

If it weren't for the Blame-Shifting Talisman in her body... “Bitch Xuan Ling! You’re using me as a nanny, damn it! Bastard!”

Chu Mo chose to ignore the Lust Demoness's renewed insults towards Xuan Ling.

She was cursing Xuan Ling; what did that have to do with him?

However, Chu Mo then thought of Shen Qingqiu.

“Those people on the Xuanling Continent...”

“They’re dead!” The Lust Demoness didn’t give him a kind look.

“That’s impossible, right?” Chu Mo didn’t believe it.

“Xuan Ling evolved the Xuanling Continent from his true form. Now that his true form has emerged, it means the collapse of the Xuanling Continent. You just felt the energy that erupted at that moment; I don't think I need to say more!”

The Lust Demoness was right. Chu Mo used himself as an example, deducing the probability of survival at the moment of the Xuanling Continent's collapse.

The answer he got was only one: zero.

Even if he entered the Immortal Realm, without any external intervention, his probability of survival would still be zero.

Let alone others.

However, Chu Mo didn’t believe Shen Qingqiu would die.

“Wan Hai made a huge bet on Shen Qingqiu, even falling out with Xuan Ling because of this scheme.

Of course, analyzing with the existing information.

Wan Hai was completely schemed against by Xuan Ling.”

Analyzing based on Shen Qingqiu’s uniqueness, Chu Mo was more inclined to believe that Xuan Ling did it on purpose.

The purpose was to make Wan Hai increase his bet, and without Xuan Ling himself being tied to a major Karma with Shen Qingqiu, he would bind Wan Hai to Shen Qingqiu.

The goal, naturally, was to shift the firepower.

The firepower from the Demon Race!

By doing so, his Luck-bearer self would have more time to develop.

Hmm, there's another possibility: to make himself share the firepower for Shen Qingqiu, allowing Shen Qingqiu to achieve Dao in an unconventional way.

After all, from his previous conversation with the Lust Demoness, the information Chu Mo received was that Wan Hai wanted to cultivate Shen Qingqiu towards the Dao Realm.

Although the Human Race Luck he carried was considerable, it wasn’t excessive.

Using this Human Race Luck as bait.

Executing a plan to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, helping Shen Qingqiu gain time to achieve Dao—it was a worthwhile trade!

“Shen Yan likes to gamble, and Xuan Ling also inherited his will. I just don't know if the stake is me or Shen Qingqiu, or perhaps, both of us...”

Chu Mo couldn't comprehend the calculations of these great figures.

Facing these old beings who had lived for countless years, he had already done well enough.

Even though he was on the chessboard, he had now, through his own efforts, become an indispensable chess piece in the eyes of the great figures.

“One day, I will go from being a chess piece to a chess player! Immortals and Demons as pieces, Heaven and Earth as the chessboard!”

Chu Mo secretly vowed in his heart.

Now that it was confirmed the Xuanling Continent had collapsed, and Xuan Ling and Wan Hai had deployed their true forms to fight in the Void Realm.

Chu Mo also extinguished the thought of searching for Shen Qingqiu and the others, choosing to enter the Void Ancient Road with the Lust Demoness and Long Aotian to leave the Void Realm.

Inside the Void Ancient Road, there was nothing.

Only a vast expanse of white mist.

If one were to enter the Void Ancient Road for the first time, they would likely get lost in this space until the passage completely closed.

But now, they had a guide.

The Lust Demoness had entered the Void Ancient Road several times and now actively took on the role of guide.

“Back then, when I took eight younger brothers out to play, the first time I entered here, I even thought I had taken the wrong path...”

Long Aotian had now transformed into a human form, but it wasn't a complete human form; he had scales on his head and face.

His golden long hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and he wore a tattered Dragon Scale Armor.

But his expression was very melancholic, as if reminiscing about the past.

“Were you taking eight younger brothers out to play? You plundered the tomb of the primordial dragon and were issued a kill order by the Dragon Clan! Those eight Yao Race members who came with you were here to hunt you down!”

Ahead, the guiding Lust Demoness mercilessly exposed his lie.

“You... don’t you know it’s rude to expose others’ difficulties?” Long Aotian occasionally looked at Chu Mo, his face a little embarrassed.

He retorted to the Lust Demoness: “So what if they were hunting me down? Grandpa Dragon...”

He stopped himself before saying 'Grandpa Dragon'.

Calling himself 'Grandpa' in front of these two might get him beaten, so he quickly changed his words: “This handsome Dragon! My Bloodline is noble, even if they were all exceptional among their races, I fought eight against one, and although I was somewhat at a disadvantage, I could still handle it!”

The Lust Demoness continued to debunk him: “Noble Bloodline? You? I wonder what level you were at before you obtained the ancestor dragon pearl and were cleansed by the Dragon Clan Qi within the ancestor dragon pearl?”

“As for fighting eight against one, you still have the nerve to say it. Relying on the ancestor dragon pearl integrating into your body, enhancing your Bloodline, and enduring attacks with the defense provided by Dragon Clan scales, even in such a situation, you were beaten to a pulp and ran away with your head in your hands. Then, relying on the powerful vitality brought by the Fusion of the ancestor dragon pearl, you stumbled into this Void Realm.”

“Hehe, if it weren't for your good Luck in coming to this Void Realm, you would probably have been taken back, had your tendons pulled and skin flayed, and your Dragon Soul annihilated!”

It was extremely boring in the misty Void Ancient Road. Now that she had such an Opportunity to ridicule someone and relieve boredom, she naturally spared no effort to debunk and embarrass him.

Long Aotian stiffened his neck and shamelessly said: “Luck is also a part of strength! Besides, did the ancestor dragon pearl actively come to me? Didn’t I have to rely on myself to go to the primordial dragon’s resting place and dig it out little by little? Others who wanted to dig it didn’t have that ability!”

As he spoke, the expression on his face gradually turned proud, as if showing off his grave-digging skills.

The Lust Demoness suddenly stopped, turned around with a smile, a smile that contained a different meaning.

“A tiny earthworm, who fortuitously gained some Opportunity and stole the Dragon Clan’s supreme treasure, dares to speak so brazenly?”

Saying that, she looked at Chu Mo.

With a wicked smile, she said: “How about we two capture him and hand him over to the Dragon Clan in exchange for resources?”

Long Aotian felt a tightening in his rear. Not only did she expose his past, but she also wanted to send him to the Dragon Clan in exchange for resources.

This Demoness was simply a Devil!

“Boss! No! I am your most, most, most loyal younger brother!”

He looked at Chu Mo, his eyes brimming with tears, just like a little loyal dog about to be sold by an evil Demoness.
