Maiden Galaxy

Jian Shu was of the Spring and Autumn Period. Originally she was a hermit indifferent to worldly rewards and aloof from worldly affairs, content to engage in farming. Because of Baili Xi's recommendation, he became one of the Spring and Autumn Qin's famous ministers. In Chen Mo's recollection, he did not compare to a martial general, but he planned far ahead. The story of the "Debate of the Weeping Master" was fresh in mind.

The woman who inherited the Jian Shu Star Name was tall in build. Her jade thighs were long and slender, her countenance fine, emanating a meticulous and strict dignity. On her back was an exquisite sword box. This sword box was named "Tears Of Heaven," and it was her Star Weapon.

The box did not contain any swords. Hidden inside was a sword-heart of her mind, clearer than any lake, sharper than any sword.

After Chen Mo used the "Black Turtle" to defeat Lord Xinling Wu Weiji, Jian Shu was the second to launch an already prepared Earth Rank in an attempt to attack while Chen Mo was off guard.

To the others, her first attack being an Earth Rank was indeed surprising. Perhaps this attack could seize an advantage, but to Chen Mo, the mind of the Without Ultimate gave rise to the sigh of the Four Symbols, the way of the Bagua. This kind of sneak attack was meaningless.

"Long live the nobleman, may your bright wisdom ever grow!!"

Tears Of Heaven opened, and sword-light enveloped the sky.

The Purple Rose Star Eyes looked at this sword-light, and the Four Symbols Azure Dragon manifested. The enormous blue dragon even dimmed the bright world's light. Chen Mo wandered freely through Jian Shu's Earth Rank "Bright Collapse." The seemingly omnipresent sword-light was surprisingly unable to match the Azure Dragon's speed.

"En." Jian Shu struck a hand seal, and Tears Of Heaven's sword-light became a human-headed dragon, an immaculate deity, as if it had emerged from the mountains and seas.

"Long live the nobleman, may the Mandate of Heaven ever serve you!"

Earth Rank – Loss Of The Mandate Of Heaven

The human-headed dragon sword-light roared, shaking the sky. Its speed was even swifter, catching up to the Four Symbols Azure Dragon. Everyone was astonished while Chen Mo spun around, turning the Northern Dipper into the Gamma Ursae Majoris Bow. He then loosed the "Ten Thousand Li God Killing Arrow."

It shot straight towards the white sword-light.

…

Heavenly Elegant Star Wei Wuji dragged her heavy body towards Su Mian to report, her expression ashamed.

Su Mian knew that Chen Mo was definitely capable of defeating Wei Wuji, but she did not realize Chen Mo would be so fast, using only the Black Turtle of the Four Symbols to do so. Dream In A Millennium bade her return to her place to rest, then once again turned her attention to Chen Mo.

"Hmph, the Heavenly Box Star has four Earth Ranks, ‘Bright,' ‘Conferment,' ‘Happiness,' and ‘Mandate.' To think he will face four of them on his own, ridiculous." Wei Wuji drank to drown her sorrows. Chen Mo's staff blow made her vomit blood; she had suffered serious injury.

"Phoenix Earth Rank, Descent Of The Mandate Of Heaven!" Jian Shu was left without option and invoked her Phoenix Earth Rank.

The Tears Of Heaven's white light ascended into the sky, becoming a torrential downpour. Each raindrop carried power to ravage Heaven and Earth. The rain fell, sufficient to leave nothing in a range of several hundred thousand li alive. However, Jian Shu did not dare to actually devastate the Purple Rose Star Palace. She pointed a finger, sending the rain towards Chen Mo. Even a Star Marquis-level lightspeed could not possibly escape her Phoenix Earth Rank.

Chen Mo did not avert his gaze. Divine light swirled around his Purple Rose Star Eyes.

His hand nocked an arrow on the bowstring.

Everyone gazed up at the sky. Then, they saw the most unbelievable scene in their lives.

Without Ultimate True Qi stirred the heavy rain, making the raindrops behind Chen Mo, forming a hundred zhang-sized Supreme Ultimate diagram. The Supreme Ultimate spun, and an Azure Dragon emerged from the Without Ultimate. This Azure Dragon was so enormous and mighty that when it appeared, the entirety of the east was covered under its divine might. 

Pop.

He nocked the bowstring.

The Azure Dragon moved, and arrow-light flew forth. Millions of raindrops were breached by the Azure Dragon. Before they even fell, they were all completely evaporated. The rainstorm was instantly quelled, barreling forth without stop for Jian Shu.

After being cleansed by the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit, Chen Mo's Purple Rose Star Eyes, Without Ultimate True Qi, and Primordial Star Energy had already reached Heaven Earth Dark Yellow, a level where he could achieve all he desired. The Four Symbols Azure Dragon and the Without Ultimate True Qi's combination was sufficient to match a Phoenix Earth Rank.

"Huh??"

Jian Shu was alarmed, and her stomach dropped.

This arrow's speed was faster than she could have imagined. The laws of time and space were unable to constrain the power of this arrow.

The Azure Dragon arrow-light shot into Jian Shu. The woman screamed, and the sword-light of the "Tears Of Heaven" completely faded. She fell from the sky like a kite with a severed string, crashing into the ground and falling unconscious.

Everyone was silent. Even Star Generals like Li Bai and Li Shimin were shocked.

"This man is so strong, he controls a Heaven Earth Dark Yellow with perfection. He actually defeated two of the Four Lords so easily."

"He only used the first chapter of the Book Of Changes, yet the Black Turtle was able to defeat Lord Xinling and Sword Hidden In The Box. Could it be he is prepared to use the Ling Guang and Jian Bing to face Bai Qi and Chuli Ji?"

"As expected of the Without Ultimate Star Emperor. He does not fall far behind compared to the Purple Rose Star Emperor."

"Back then, the Purple Rose Star Emperor still needed the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. Perhaps he has already surpassed him."

Everyone discussed spiritedly, whispering into each other's ears.

"Young Master, you're amazing, I love you! Go, go!" Moye pumped her little fist in excitement.

"Please."

Chen Mo gazed at the remaining two lords.

"Stern Lord" Chuli Ji was not as powerful as Wei Wuji or Jian Shu. The woman's expression was stiff, but just as she was about to take the stage, she was stopped by the apathetic God Of Slaughter. "Do not embarrass yourself. You are a flock of useless things." Bai Ling was extremely displeased with Wei Wuji and Jian Shu's display. It was plainly obvious that they were defeated by a single Star Warrior without any power whatsoever to fight back. They did not bring Chen Mo much trouble at all.

Such an easy fall was simply a disgrace.

God Of Slaughter Bai Qi Bai Ling raised her Nine Star Star Weapon "Heavenly Slaughter" and personally took the stage. Bai Ling's ancient aristocratic clothes fluttered, her bearing elegant.

All of Central fell silent.

"God Of Slaughter" Bai Qi was currently the number one Star name on the Star Duels List. She had once accompanied the Ancestral Dragon to cultivate the strongest Purple Rose Qi, and even the strongest Purple Rose Star Li Shimin was somewhat afraid of her.

In Star World, "God Of Slaughter"¹ was a nickname that indicated she truly could kill gods.

"Please, allow me to see just what you are capable of" Bai Ling stared at Chen Mo, her powerful aura emitted in waves, blowing Chen Mo's clothes violently.

"Please!!"

Chen Mo knew of Bai Qi's might. In Chinese history, Bai Qi was fully deserving of her fame as formidable general; "undefeated in this life" could describe his lifelong battlefield achievements. Chen Mo took a deep breath. The White Tiger of the Four Symbols appeared, and Without Ultimate True Qi coiled around his entire body, thinning Chen Mo's aura to the point it was one with emptiness.

"Oh?" Bai Qi narrowed her eyes, feeling something was a bit abnormal.

As the top Star Name of the Star Duels List, the God Of Slaughter had never acted blindly. Before they crossed blades, she was already on guard.

Show me what you are capable of.

Bai Qi lunged. The "Heavenly Slaughter" divine sword flashed a sword-light. In an instant, specters of herself and her sword filled the world, unclear which was real, which were fake.

This sword was not a Heaven, Earth, Dark, or Yellow, yet it contained power that was even more frightening. Even a Lord Of Heaven could be directly slain by Bai Qi's attack, their soul destroyed. This woman's martial prowess was frightening enough leave people in shambles.

Chen Mo's body moved, and he pressed down with his hands, taking Heaven and Earth into them.

Qiankun Seal!

His punch-intent became substantial, using Heaven and Earth as a foundation. After his Book Of Changes was developed into the Without Ultimate, Chen Mo's Qiankun Seal also reached an inconceivable Realm. The imprint of Heaven and Earth emerged from his palm with a whoosh. In an instant, the figures of woman and sword filling the world were blown away.

Her real body was exposed, but Heavenly Slaughter already cleaved open the Qiankun Seal, the slash approaching Chen Mo's head.

Northern Dipper became the Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber and countered.

Saber and sword released a crisp collision.

Bai Qi's sword emitted a enormous power. This force gathered the countless Star Names slaughtered over the last millennium. Once upon a time in Star World, there was a sword named "Phoenix Splitter." True Phoenix Realm Star Generals suffered crushing defeat against it, and Bai Qi's "Heavenly Slaughter" was far more overbearing than that Phoenix Splitter. Let alone a True Phoenix Realm Star General, any Star Name confronting this sword would be severely weakened.

If not for Chen Mo's achievements with the Book Of Changes, his cultivation of the "Without Ultimate," his training in the power of the Primeval Chaos World, perhaps the him of the past that had the Five Emperors Seal would have no chance against Bai Qi. The Four Symbols White Tiger roared. Among the Four Symbols, the White Tiger possessed the greatest offense. In its eyes was ruthlessness, as if it wanted to devour Bai Qi the God Of Slaughter's power.

Chen Mo's swordstroke even astounded Bai Qi somewhat.

The Purple Rose Star Eyes saw through Bai Qi's attack.

Countless bouts of battle faster than light clashed intensely above the Purple Rose Star Palace.

In an instant, they had exchanged several tens of thousands of evenly matched blows.

Bai Ling narrowed her eyes. Chen Mo's power exceeded her expectations. "No wonder Wei Wuji and Jian Shu were no match for you…Your Servant admits that there has never been one with a Realm like yours." Heaven was not as high as him, Earth not as thick, mountains as robust, water as endless. Countless possibilities seemed to fill Chen Mo's body, countless unknowns and countless abnormalities. 

No limits, no bounds, was this the Without Ultimate?

"This is too good. Finally, I have an interesting opponent." The woman put on a murderous grin. "Things were too boring up until now, only a life and death battle is the greatest. Let our swords decide life and death!!"

What??

Bai Qi cackled. The power of her Nine Star Destined Star Weapon filled the vast Central Star Field. In the space around the woman, natural law seemed to distort. A Star Crest glowed on her forehead, and her Innate Skill "Slaughter God Time"² activated.

Everyone immediately felt suffocated, and a terrible killing intent bloomed over them.

"Bai Ling is moving for real. This man is dead for sure." The Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom's Qin Niyan's expression changed.

Ganjiang and Moye subconsciously wanted to intervene, but Chen Qinghan stopped them. "This is the moment Mo'er's name will become eternal. You must not interfere."

"Elder Sister." Mo Huang was a bit afraid that Chen Mo would actually die at Bai Qi's hand.

The God Of Slaughter's reputation for being a killmonger was nightmarish. To make her get serious was absolutely a bad thing.

Chen Qinghan was very resolute.

"Elder Sister?" Su Wanyang glanced nervously at Su Mian. She wanted her to intervene.

"Those with the name of Star Emperor must have strength that surpasses the Star Marquis. Back then, Father was able to subdue Bai Qi. Chen Mo should be able to achieve this. Let them fight to the death." Su Mian apathetically stared.

Everyone stared, and even the fingertips of "Fingertip Dramatization" Ban Gu were trembling.

"Snare!"

"End!"

"Execute!"

"Kill!"

A mysterious voice in the sword spoke out. Yellow Rank, Dark Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank were used in succession. Then, they developed into the strongest "Phoenix Heaven Rank" in all of Star World, practically reaching the Realm of a real Phoenix Heaven Rank. Boundless destructive qi and murderous intent covered primeval chaos.

White Tiger Xian, Black Turtle Jue, Vermilion Bird Zhu, Azure Dragon Lu.

Four sword-lights directly broke the Four Symbols.

The world dimmed.

Everyone trembled.

Phoenix Heaven Rank – Ten Thousand Immortals Annihilation!!

"Without Ultimate True Qi, Five Emperors Descent!!"

Chen Mo roared thunderously and used his strongest technique.

The five young women of the Immemorial Five Emperors took everyone's breath away. They fearlessly attacked Bai QI's "Ten Thousand Immortals Annihilation."

The primeval chaos dissipated and was destroyed.

The four destructive sword-lights were likewise destroyed by the Green, White, Crimson, and Black Emperors in succession. Lastly, the Yellow Emperor woman, her sword swift as a dragon, directly attacked Bai Qi.

"Ah!!! Impossible!!" Bai Qi had never thought there would be a second person in Star World who could destroy her Phoenix Heaven Rank without relying on Romance Of The World.

The Yellow Emperor's sword cut into Bai Qi.

Her white clothes were instantly stained red.

Everyone looked at Chen Mo in shock, their minds completely blank at the sight of everything that had happened. Only when Bai Qi screamed did they return to their senses.

Henceforth, history began to realize there would be a name that would be known through the ages.
