Chapter 869 - 956: Breaking Through via Battle

Boom!

In the high sky, the powerful and mighty energies of the Jianghu clashed together, with thunderous roars resounding, and some shock waves rampaged, making the surrounding air scorchingly hot.

Chen Mo and Mu Qianqian each retreated more than ten zhang, standing in a void.

Chen Mo’s brows tightened, sensing the overwhelming True Qi on Mu Qianqian, an oppressive aura emanating from the red battle armor.

Chen Mo knew this was a sign of a breakthrough.

Mu Qianqian clenched a fist, just a little short.

"Again!"

A red rune lit up on Mu Qianqian’s chest, and the next instant, the True Qi fluctuations erupting from the red battle armor surged directly, the aura growing rapidly.

Like a meteor, she shot towards Chen Mo as fast as thunder.

Boom!

Chen Mo’s figure almost simultaneously dashed forward, choosing to confront Mu Qianqian head-on, the overwhelming True Qi around them turning into torrents, roaring out the next moment, crashing together again.

Two ferocious energies vibrated the void, clashing with the kind of power that could bring down Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators.

Boom Boom!

Chaotic True Qi shock waves erupted, and just because this was the Daoist Alliance, the space barrier was incredibly strong, or else, the void would likely be torn into spatial rifts.

Chen Mo and Mu Qianqian exchanged a glance, and without the slightest hesitation, they charged at each other again in perfect tacit understanding.

Chen Mo also felt that the energy from dual cultivation with Su Mengyan, absorbing the Nine-Colored Other Shore Flower, had thoroughly merged with his body, as if every chunk of flesh and blood contained powerful energy.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In just a few breaths, the two had exchanged dozens of rounds in the high sky, evenly matched.

Mu Qianqian hadn’t battled this fiercely in a long time, even when confronting Xiao Qingtian, who, although strong, couldn’t make her use her full strength.

But Chen Mo was different.

Mu Qianqian could feel he was a truly equal opponent.

"Break through now!"

Mu Qianqian let out a fierce shout, and the round shield in her hand transformed into a red longsword under her mental control.

Buzz!

The sword light burst forth, countless sword shadows appearing in the sky, the sharp aura piercing the clouds.

"Slash!"

Mu Qianqian’s left hand surged with True Qi, and as her left hand swept across the red longsword, in an instant, countless sword shadows converged, transforming into a mighty torrent shooting forth, where it passed, even the air seemed torn apart, the unstoppable force seeming to shred anything in its path.

Chen Mo knew she was using this to complete a breakthrough.

Chen Mo decided to lend a hand.

With a light shout, his True Qi surged, then he looked up to the sky and let out a deafening dragon roar.

"True Dragon Treasure Skill!"

Rolling True Qi gushed out from within, like a giant golden wave, within which a hundred-zhang Five-Clawed Golden Dragon protruded, also roaring to the sky, earth-shattering, exuding immensely dense demon qi.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon opened its giant mouth, swallowing towards the torrent of sword shadows.

Bang!

The Golden Dragon collided with the torrent of sword shadows, the Sword Qi constantly washing over the Golden Dragon, the whole world thunderous, with the violent True Qi shock waves raging on.

Wave after wave erupted high in the sky, causing the void to tremble slightly.

The next moment, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon erupted with vast divine power, directly engulfing the torrent of sword shadows, then with undiminished momentum, carrying a world-ending motion, rushed straight toward Mu Qianqian.

Mu Qianqian’s pupils shrank, the red longsword in her hand transformed back into the round shield, then quickly raised to block in front of her.

"Roar!"

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon arrived at this moment, its mouth going straight to swallow Mu Qianqian, but the round shield in her hand formed an invisible giant wall around it.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon crashed into the giant wall, with fierce wind howling around.

Mu Qianqian, standing in the void, was continuously pushed back by the Golden Dragon’s impact.

Even though powerful True Qi burst from behind her continuously, it was to no avail, unable to resist the backward momentum.

"Crack!"

The air wall around the round shield was crushed by the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon’s claws, the next moment, swallowing Mu Qianqian whole, then the giant mouth closed, rushing straight toward the sky.

Above the sky, dark clouds gathered, thunder rolling.

Below, Zuoqiu Yiren saw this scene. She hurriedly activated means, locking the surrounding space to prevent too much commotion.

"Clap!"

A bolt of Celestial Thunder descended, and as it was about to strike the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, the dragon opened its mouth, the Celestial Thunder directly striking into the dragon’s mouth.

The next second, with a "bang," the dragon exploded directly, turning into an energy storm capable of destroying everything, the intense light causing people to instinctively close their eyes, avoiding direct sight.

Chen Mo activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils, his eyes staring at this scene.

Last time, after gaining the Dragon Race’s blood in the Sea of Nothingness, his True Dragon Treasure Skill got much stronger.

The power it unleashed now, he was quite satisfied with.

But she...

Soon, as the intense light dissipated, a red figure stood above the sky.

It was Mu Qianqian.

However, she looked quite battered at the moment.

The armor on her had disappeared, her red dress tattered and torn, exposing large areas of snow-white skin, her whole right shoulder and half of her bosom exposed, her hair messy.

Yet around her, a powerful aura lingered, giving Chen Mo a sense of oppression.

"Divinity Transformation Late Stage..." Zuoqiu Yiren murmured.

"She broke through!" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow.

"The real battle is just beginning; let’s decide the victor."

Mu Qianqian ignored her condition, but after the breakthrough, she felt extremely excited, her battle intent even more intense, with her beautiful eyes locking directly onto Chen Mo below. In a flash, she was right in front of Chen Mo, reaching towards his chest’s disciple token.

A tinge of seriousness appeared on Chen Mo’s face; as for strength, even though Mu Qianqian just broke through to Divinity Transformation Late Stage, the oppression she brought was stronger than before when Su Mengyan.

No more holding back, Heaven and Earth Lose Color unfolded, enveloping Mu Qianqian.

Then his figure abruptly retreated, dodging away.

"Domain?" Mu Qianqian’s expression shifted slightly, looking at the black and white world before her, all her body’s senses became slower.

The higher the realm, the more one could feel that this kind of sluggishness in battle would be the key to deciding victory or defeat.

Sure enough, after Chen Mo dodged back, he quickly closed in, with the help of the Ancient Heavy Pupils, quickly finding Mu Qianqian’s flaw, attacking towards it.

Mu Qianqian’s pupils shrank, under Chen Mo’s Heaven and Earth Lose Color’s cover, her strength was greatly reduced.

In an instant, she felt a fierce wind strike towards her thigh.

She hurriedly sidestepped to evade.

"Rip..."

Suddenly, the sound of fabric tearing rang out.
