Chapter 148

Two years later.

After gaining control over Bibi Dong's life and death, Chen Mo went into seclusion for two years.

As for Bibi Dong, she was released. Chen Mo created a restriction on Bibi Dong's Soul Origin and then handed it over to his sister Chen Mo for safekeeping.

Chen Mo will leave Bibi Dong's life in his hands, and he will not interfere in how Chen Mo Chen Mo deals with Bibi Dong and the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Chen Mo did not want to do anything that would affect Chen Mo's prestige in everyone's eyes.

After that, Chen Mo turned to cultivating immortality and continued his seclusion for two years.

The path of cultivation truly is one where time seems to stand still in the Yamanaka!

Chen Mo is now getting closer and closer to the Golden Core Perfection stage. The day he breaks through to the Nascent Soul will be the day he reaches the Golden Core Perfection and makes no further progress.

Just as Chen Mo was preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul, Qian Renxue in the Angel Hall was also close to breaking through. She had reached the crucial moment of the Angel Nine Trials and could pass at any time.

Like Bibi Dong, he became a newly ascended deity— Angel God!

Several days later, Chen Mo's cultivation finally reached its limit. No matter how much he practiced breathing exercises and took pills, he could no longer form new True Essence within his body.

Chen Mo understood that he had now reached the Golden Core Peak. Although it was not perfect, he was still qualified to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation and shatter his core to become an Infant.

With Chen Mo's current strength, overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation is not difficult, especially since this world is giving him special treatment.

Even if the tribulation he was undergoing was Chaos Lightning Tribulation, given the nature of this world, it would definitely summon various auspicious Chen Mo to block most of the tribulation's power, just like when Core Formation.

Besides, Chen Mo still has trump cards like Experience Card. If all else fails, he can just use Experience Card. The strongest Experience Card can even shatter a heavenly tribulation.

Chen Mo: "Thousand-Faced, has Bibi Dong and the Angel Temple in Heavenly Soul City made any moves?"

Thousand-Faced Witch (Mature Woman Form): "Master, as early as three days ago, the Angel Temple has been emitting extremely strong energy fluctuations, and they haven't stopped yet. Moreover, the energy fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger, and they are already very close to Bibi Dong's level."

In addition to several communication satellites, there are also some Inspection and spy satellites in the outer space of Douluo Star, which are specifically designed to conduct 24/7 uninterrupted surveillance of a particular area.

After Bibi Dong returned to the Heavenly Soul Empire, apart from the fact that Chen Mo had left her with some backup plans, she was actually under Chen Mo's surveillance the whole time.

After the Thousand-Faced Witch Inspection the anomaly at the Angel Temple, she immediately informed Chen Mo.

Chen Mo guessed that Qian Renxue was probably undergoing the Angel Nine Trials and was about to become a new deity— Angel God —just like Bibi Dong.

After that, Chen Mo had the Thousand-Faced Witch keep a close eye on that place. To this end, Chen Mo spared no expense in using precious resources to build several spy satellites, one of which maintained the same rotation speed and trajectory as Douluo Star.

The purpose was to keep a close eye on Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, so that Chen Mo could know immediately what had happened and why they dared to rebel against him if there was any unusual movement.

Bibi Dong can return to the Divine Realm at any time. Bibi Dong, her life is in her own hands, so she shouldn't be too worried about revealing Chen Mo's existence to the Divine Realm.

But Qian Renxue was different. The first thing she did after becoming a god was to run away and tell the gods of the Divine Realm about Chen Mo's existence and actions.

Without a doubt, the gods will come to punish Chen Mo.

Chen Mo Chen Mo could handle this, but doing so would undoubtedly affect his plans.

Those who conquer the world and those who defend it are two completely different concepts.

Typical examples are Qin Shi Huang and Hu Hai.

While the First Emperor was alive, no one in the world dared to rebel. But Qin Shi Huang death, Hu Hai came to power, everyone in the world rebelled.

Therefore, if possible, Chen Mo would prefer that his younger sister Chen Mo conquer the Divine Realm herself, rather than Chen Mo using the power of the Experience Card to slaughter the Divine Realm and then hand the newly reborn Divine Realm over to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's possession of such a powerful system destined the Douluo World to be merely a stopover, a place to rest.

In the future, Chen Mo will likely take Lin Yaodong on a journey through countless worlds, and ten or even a hundred years will become the norm.

If Chen Mo leaves for so long and doesn't return, will Chen Mo still be able to keep those people in check?

Even though his younger sister Chen Mo's cultivation level was already quite good—in theory, someone with the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage or even the Nascent Soul Stage Transformation stage could kill indiscriminately— Chen Mo was still somewhat worried. In Chen Mo's eyes, Chen Mo would always be that innocent and carefree little girl, and it wasn't easy for him to stand up to her alone.

Therefore, if Chen Mo can rely on her own strength to lead the talents trained by the Moon Shadow Wind Spirit Academy to conquer the entire Divine Realm, there is no doubt that her position is as stable as Mount Tai. Even if Chen Mo is not around, no one would dare to push her off the position of God Emperor.

At that time, Chen Mo was able to completely let go of his worries and no longer have to worry about the safety of his family. He was able to devote all his attention to the myriad realms.

"It's time for me to break through to the Nascent Soul," Chen Mo murmured to himself.

After swallowing a handful of pills, Chen Mo sat down to meditate, calming his mind and refining the medicinal power to break through that barrier.

After about two hours, the barrier was finally breached, and Chen Mo's True Essence surged into it like a tide.

Meanwhile, at the Moon Shadow Wind Spirit Academy, where the sky was still clear and blue, suddenly dark clouds began to gather, and more and more of them appeared, as if something particularly terrifying was brewing within them.

This wasn't the first time Chen Mo, Lin Yaodong, and Xiao Wu had witnessed this situation, and they all guessed that Chen Mo was undergoing a tribulation to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

So they sent all the students of Moon Shadow Wind Spirit away, as far away as possible from the forbidden area, which was Chen Mo's dojo.

Although the heavenly tribulation looks terrifying, and no one present feels confident they can survive such terrifying pressure, there is absolutely no problem in this world to undergo the tribulation. Before long, auspicious clouds will appear beneath the dark clouds of lightning tribulation, shielding the sufferers from most of the damage.

Because when Chen Mo and Chen Mo broke through to the Golden Core Stage, it was the same scene. Although it looked quite scary, they both passed through safely without any real danger.

Besides, even without the auspicious clouds of this world, they didn't think that a mere heavenly tribulation could harm Chen Mo. In their eyes, Chen Mo was omnipotent; no matter how terrifying the danger or how powerful the enemy, it was nothing to Chen Mo.

Lin Yaodong and his two companions were right. Before long, auspicious clouds began to gather in the sky, blocking Chen Mo from the dark clouds of heavenly tribulation.

After a long time, when the auspicious clouds stopped increasing, the dark clouds of heavenly tribulation also ceased to appear.

Everyone understood that the tribulation was about to begin.

Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage requires withstanding nine waves of lightning tribulation. The quantity, thickness, and energy level of each wave of lightning depend on the foundation of the person undergoing the tribulation.

The stronger one's foundation, the stronger the heavenly tribulation one will face; conversely, the weaker one's foundation, the weaker the heavenly tribulation. But even the weakest foundation is still a heavenly tribulation, and very few people with weak foundations can survive a Tenten tribulation and break through to the next realm.

Those who can survive the Heavenly Tribulation are basically geniuses with a solid foundation. With a strong foundation, one's own strength will be strong, and one will be able to cultivate more powerful secret techniques and methods, and the growth of strength will increase exponentially.

Chen Mo faced nine lightning bolts as thick as tree stumps as his first tribulation. The purple lightning emitted a dazzling light, and the destructive aura was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. Lin Yaodong and the others were still standing several kilometers away. The group of students seemed to be suffocating. Lin Yaodong saw this.

"You are not strong enough to withstand this oppressive force. Stay further away."

"Yes!"

Lin Yaodong's words brought a sense of relief to many people, who quickly retreated, wishing they could stay as far away from the terrifying lightning tribulation as possible.

Meanwhile, other equally powerful students continued to endure.

Seeing this, Lin Yaodong nodded. Although the lightning tribulation was terrifying, its pressure was indeed unbearable for ordinary people. Even Lin Yaodong's own body instinctively urged him to get away from the destructive power ahead.

However, if one can observe the lightning tribulation up close, feel it, and face it directly, it will also greatly improve one's state of mind.

True strength lies in facing fear head-on, confronting it, and overcoming it.

~~~

After the nine terrifying purple lightning bolts passed through the auspicious clouds, only three remained, and their thickness was reduced by two-thirds.

With such limited power, it's safe to say that any Immortal Cultivator in the Late Golden Core could easily overcome it.

This world is really kind to Immortal Cultivator. Basically, as long as you can get a cultivation technique and have spiritual roots, Nascent Soul won't have to worry about reaching the Nascent Soul stage. With the back door opened by this world, if you still can't withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, you might as well give up and find a block of tofu to smash your head against.

Chen Mo simply tossed a shield-shaped magical artifact, easily dispelling the first wave of lightning tribulation.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the second lightning tribulation struck, but Chen Mo remained completely unfazed.

And so it went, the third, the fourth, and so on, Chen Mo handled them all with ease.

By the time of the ninth tribulation, this heavenly tribulation had been brewing for a full half hour.

When the ninth lightning tribulation appeared, even Lin Yaodong and his two companions had to retreat several hundred meters.

Chen Mo, who was facing this lightning tribulation, even felt a Sisi of death. All living things within a radius of several miles had long since fled, and even tree branches and plants were bent over by the weight.

This time, Chen Mo also put away his playful thoughts and prepared to seriously face this final wave of lightning tribulation.

Nine streaks of purplish-black lightning slowly gathered together. In a short while, the lightning, which was as thick as a tree stump, thinned out and became as thick as a bucket. Its color also changed from purplish-black to pure black. Most importantly, the lightning took shape.

This bolt of lightning actually transformed into the form of a giant python. When the black python passed through the auspicious clouds, its aura and shape were indeed smaller, but unlike the previous eight lightning tribulations, it was not weakened by seven or eight layers of power.

The black python formed from lightning lost at most three-tenths of its power, or even three-tenths at all.

Chen Mo, in danger!

Upon seeing this, Lin Yaodong and the other two also changed their expressions, their hearts sinking into their throats. They even began to worry about Chen Mo, because this had exceeded everyone's expectations.

If Chen Mo hadn't withstood this level of lightning tribulation, he might not have survived.

Their concerns were valid. Chen Mo was certain that if he couldn't withstand the attack, given his physical limitations, there was an 80% chance he would be dead.

However, with the Experience Card and other trump cards, Chen Mo is unlikely to die.

However, if possible, Chen Mo didn't want to rely too much on the Experience Card; he would solve problems on his own whenever possible.

Chen Mo first activated the defensive array of the dojo, and then all the other arrays he had set up were also activated. However, these things only blocked the lightning black python for a moment, and the black python's aura and size were reduced.

Next came the three defensive magical artifacts that Chen Mo threw out: a giant cauldron-shaped artifact at the top, a jade ruyi in the middle, and a giant shield artifact that Chen Mo had meticulously crafted.

When the black python crashed into the giant cauldron, Chen Mo's magical power began to rapidly dissipate in an instant. This barely managed to block the python's attack. Seeing this, Chen Mo multitasked, occasionally summoning magical artifacts, spirit weapons, magical treasures, or talismans to fly to the black python's side.

Burst!

This is how you slowly cut off its flesh and deplete its energy.

The giant python's aura and size gradually diminished as it was being consumed. This tug-of-war between the two sides, a battle of wits, didn't last long, and before either side could determine a winner, it ended with the shattering of the giant cauldron.

Chen Mo wasn't surprised; its mission was over. It was already quite good that it could withstand the lightning python for more than ten breaths, although he felt a little sorry for his magic weapon.

During this brief respite, Chen Mo grabbed a handful of pills and swallowed them.

A warm current quickly flowed through Chen Mo's body, and most of the magic power he had just lost had now been restored to about 70-80%. In addition, Chen Mo had more than a dozen pills in his mouth, and he would swallow one from time to time.

At this moment, the black python collided with the jade ruyi again, and its attack faltered once more. Chen Mo then resorted to the same tactic, throwing magical artifacts and talismans at the black python as if they were free.

Although it felt great to smash people with magical artifacts, in just a short while, Chen Mo had used up nearly one-tenth of the various magical artifacts and talismans he had stored.

That's fucking money-grabbing!

This was a stockpile that Chen Mo had stored and refined for over a decade, making Chen Mo feel a real pang of regret.

Following closely behind, the jade ruyi followed in the footsteps of the giant cauldron magic weapon, and the giant shield held out for several dozen more breaths.

When the black python broke through these three lines of defense, most of its energy was consumed, and its python form was reduced to a long snake form.

Now that Chen Mo has exhausted his defensive measures, reducing the giant python's power to less than 30%, it's a matter of who wins in a close encounter.

Chen Mo summoned four longsword-shaped magical artifacts and spat a mouthful of blood onto them. Instantly, the artifacts shone brightly, and the four artifacts attacked the black python from four directions. Moreover, the four artifacts were faintly connected, seemingly forming an array.

Chen Mo: Today I'll show you my self-created Four Seasons Killing Formation.
