143: Chapter 143 Inner Demon Invasion

Under his gaze,

high up in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, bolts of lightning struck down, and waves of terrifying Spiritual Qi surged out continuously.

Above the Sect Blessed Land, fierce winds howled, and lingering clouds rolled across the sky.

Meanwhile, Mo Shenggu sat cross-legged within the Sect Blessed Land; at this moment, he was radiant and full of vitality, his eyes filled with confidence.

He gazed at those bolts of Lightning Tribulation, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and directly spread his arms as a vast amount of Spiritual Qi surged out from his body.

After ten years of secluded bitter cultivation, with the help of that drop of condensing spirit liquid, he was now only a final step away from the true Golden Core Realm. He only needed to survive these bolts of Lightning Tribulation to increase his Lifespan by eight hundred years and become a truly powerful expert of the Golden Core Realm.

"Hahaha, come on! Today is the time for me, Mo Shenggu, to prove the Dao, and today is the time for me, Mo Shenggu, to revive the past glory of my Mo family."

Mo Shenggu was in high spirits.

He directly resisted the Lightning Tribulation head-on.

With the methods prepared in advance for him by Chiyun Valley, these bolts of Lightning Tribulation were merely a formality and could not pose any threat to him at all.

Accompanied by the falling bolts of Lightning Tribulation, Mo Shenggu bathed within them, taking the opportunity to use these bolts of Lightning Tribulation to temper his Physical Body and obliterate some of the medicinal toxins hidden within his body.

Just as Mo Shenggu was bathing in them and using these bolts of Lightning Tribulation to temper his Physical Body, a series of voices sounded in his mind.

"Grandfather, I have been wronged! My death was so unjust!"

"Father, didn't you say you would protect Mo Xiaoyu well? Why was she still harmed by villains after my death?"

"Gu'er, you have disappointed me too much. In the past, your father fought battles for the Sect, all to ensure that the Legacy of our Mo family would not be cut off and would recreate its glory. Yet in your hands, our Mo family's lineage is almost cut off once again. In the end, you have disappointed me too much... If I had known earlier, it would have been better if I had left your third brother in Luoyun Peak to preside over the overall situation..."

Voice after voice continuously resounded in Mo Shenggu's mind.

Listening to these familiar voices, Mo Shenggu's originally high-spirited expression inevitably became dazed.

He only felt a burst of pain in his heart.

A sense of ominousness welled up in his heart.

Feeling this ominousness in his heart, Mo Shenggu directed his attention to the Storage Pouch at his waist; that spiritual talisman retaining Mo Xiaoyu's aura had long since shattered.

"Mo Xiaoyu..."

"No! How can this be? Didn't I ask Lin Shen to protect her all the way?"

"How is this possible? How could Mo Xiaoyu die!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Father, how can you blame me for this? Why do you think I am unable to revive the Mo family lineage? Could it be that even now you still think I am inferior to my third brother in every way?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost!!!"

"Fake, everything is fake!"

Bathing in the Lightning Tribulation, under the influence of the voices in his mind and the scenes surging from the depths of his soul sea, Mo Shenggu's expression began to grow somewhat frantic.

At this moment, the aura on his body began to become unstable, and under the Lightning Tribulation, the Spiritual Qi within his body began to fall into chaos.

Boom!!!

The final Lightning Tribulation descended.

Under Mo Shenggu's chaotic Spiritual Qi, the various treasures prepared for him earlier by Chiyun Valley directly and briefly failed due to the chaotic Spiritual Qi.

At this time, Mo Shenggu, influenced by the memories in his mind and those voices crying out grievances, did not make any reaction at all.

He just roared and howled with a frantic expression, allowing that final Lightning Tribulation to strike his body.

Puchi...

The Lightning Tribulation descended, and a terrifying aura of destruction swept through Mo Shenggu's body.

Under this terrifying aura of destruction, Mo Shenggu spat out a mouthful of blood. His already unstable cultivation rapidly plummeted at this moment, and the thick Spiritual Qi he had accumulated dissipated in all directions.

Bathed in this thick Spiritual Qi, the surrounding spiritual plants grew wildly, and in just a short moment, directly increased their age by twenty to thirty years for free.

Accompanied by the dissipation of the thick Spiritual Qi on his body, Mo Shenggu's complexion became extremely listless, and he still roared and howled frantically, completely unaware of this.

The pillar of light standing defiantly into the sky in high altitude shattered with a boom, the dark clouds in the sky scattered, and a ray of sunlight shone down once again.

However, not a single person present showed a look of joy; their faces were filled with disbelief.

He failed...

No one among the crowd expected that Mo Shenggu would be invaded by the Heart Demon at this very last moment, suffering a Qi Deviation and failing to survive the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

"Mud cannot be plastered onto a wall!"

Looking at the frantically roaring and howling Mo Shenggu, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu could not help but frown deeply, feeling extremely depressed in his heart.

Originally, he thought that after bestowing that drop of condensing spirit liquid and pouring in a large amount of resources, this Mo Shenggu would successfully achieve a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm and become a mainstay of Chiyun Valley.

But who would have thought that at this most inconspicuous juncture, at the very moment closest to becoming a Golden Core Realm expert, Mo Shenggu's state of mind was so unsteadfast that he was actually invaded by the Heart Demon, suffering a Qi Deviation and causing all the preparations made previously to be wasted in vain.

"Quiet! Wake up for me!"

Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's figure flickered.

The next instant, he appeared within the Sect Blessed Land, a vast amount of Spiritual Qi sweeping across him to directly suppress Mo Shenggu, who had entered the state of Qi Deviation and wore a frantic expression.

With a light tap of his finger, a pure surge of Spiritual Qi instantly poured into the center of Mo Shenggu's brows.

Under this pure Spiritual Qi, Mo Shenggu's originally frantic expression gradually returned to calm, and his pupils also began to grow clear.

He stepped out of the state of Qi Deviation.

Feeling his currently depleted cultivation and rapidly plummeting Lifespan, Mo Shenggu could not help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

The high hopes of the Mo family ancestors from days past, and the high spirits of being on the verge of stepping into the Golden Core Realm just moments ago—all these emotions welled up in his heart.

Under the weight of these emotions, Mo Shenggu only felt his eyes turn black, his sideburns rapidly turning white, and his body falling straight down.

"Sigh... The Mo family lineage is probably going to be cut off right here!"

Looking at Mo Shenggu, whose sideburns were white and whose face was covered in wrinkles, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu could not help but sigh and shake his head.

With a slight wave of his right arm and a flicker of his figure, he directly took the heavily injured and unconscious Mo Shenggu and left the Sect Blessed Land.

...

"Junior Brother Lin, the Lightning Tribulation has vanished. Presumably, you will soon be able to see your Revered Master, Elder Mo!"

Wang Boan spoke with a smile from the side.

He did not know what had happened within the Sect Blessed Land; seeing that the sky-defying pillar of light had shattered and seeing the Lightning Tribulation dissipate, he naturally jumped to the conclusion that Mo Shenggu had already successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm at this moment.

"Indeed, now that my Revered Master has achieved the Golden Core, the Luoyun Peak lineage will definitely revive its glory in the future. The only troublesome thing is..."

As he spoke, Lin Shen could not help but shake his head and sigh, a flash of guilt crossing his face: "Senior Sister Mo is the sole Bloodline of the Mo family. In the Secret Realm, I failed to protect her well, causing her to get separated from me. Now her life or death is unknown. I truly do not know how to explain this to Revered Master, nor do I know whether Revered Master will be able to accept this fact..."
