Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 1178: Chapter 739: The Youngest Supreme Expert in History_2

And right when Tianya retreated to the side with a complicated expression, indicating that he wouldn’t intervene, the graceful middle-aged man opposite him suddenly spoke:

“Little Luo, only by confronting your inner fears and bravely overcoming them can you truly break through yourself. The Heavenly Barrier, frankly, is a process of self-awareness. Once you cross this threshold, the vast sky awaits you, free to soar. If even this slight setback cannot be overcome, how can one possibly achieve supreme greatness?”

As the middle-aged man’s indifferent words fell, the woman beside him, her face always veiled, took a deep breath, and at the same time, the tremors on her body slowly subsided.

Xue Yuluo, who had always bowed her head in front of Chu Mo and didn’t even dare to glance at him, suddenly lifted her head with determination.

Despite her resolved heart and having staked everything, how could the System had made the skill of Death’s Eye so easily decipherable?

The instant she raised her head, the fears buried deep in her heart were once again awakened. When Chu Mo’s gaze lightly swept over her, an immense fear instantly assailed her heart.

At this moment, Xue Yuluo felt as if the scenery around her had vanished, her soul seemingly pulled into an endless dark universe, where there was no gravity, no space, and not even time. Her soul aimlessly drifted, the boundless fear and crushing loneliness tormented her, and the sense of unperceivable time made it impossible for her to know how long she had suffered in such a space.

At this moment, Xue Yuluo’s eyes gradually became vacant, her spirit subjected to an invasion of endless fear. If this continued, her soul would be forever locked in the darkness, unable to free itself, and eventually, she would become a soulless shell.

Not knowing how much time had passed, seemingly a moment yet perhaps countless years, when she opened her eyes again, she saw at the end of the boundless darkness, a faint light appeared. This light, though exceedingly weak and flickering as if it could extinguish at any moment, was for the despairing Xue Yuluo the light of hope, the sole chance for her to escape from there.

So, Xue Yuluo immersed in darkness began swimming towards the light, but at this moment, she felt like she was stretching out into an infinite void, unable to move forward despite her efforts.

However, she did not give up. Faced with her only chance, Xue Yuluo kept swimming forward forcefully.

Not knowing how many days and nights passed, her heart extremely resolute, to the point of numbness, Xue Yuluo found that the distant light had disappeared.

However, this time, after experiencing innumerable years of trial in the endless darkness, Xue Yuluo’s heart had become as solid as a rock, unshaken by the circumstance.

And at a certain moment, a gentle voice suddenly echoed by her ear, so familiar and comforting. She closed her eyes gently, attentively listening to the affectionate voice, and as she subconsciously reached out, the vanished point of light suddenly appeared in her palm. In the next instant, Xue Yuluo, emerging from the endless darkness, found herself surrounded by countless points of light, and as the lights connected, the darkness in front of her was gradually dispelled, and once more, that familiar and comforting voice sounded by her ear.

“Little Yuluo, congratulations on overcoming your inner demons.”

When Xue Yuluo opened her eyes bewildered, she saw the elegant middle-aged man looking at her with a gratified expression, and only then did she realize that the guiding light in the darkness had been this graceful man all along, and the voice by her ear was his constant calling.

At this moment, Xue Yuluo felt a warm surge within her, and the Innate True Qi within her body, like great rivers, started to flow swiftly. With the strengthening of the Innate True Qi, the meridians inside her body, which were like rivers, were expanded once more, and her spirit, after the trial by darkness, became even more resilient and sharp.

At this moment, feeling her rapidly surging strength, Xue Yuluo, whose heart had already been tempered to extraordinary firmness, did not experience significant emotional fluctuations. She simply bowed to the refined gentleman in front of her to express her gratitude, her voice crisp as she said:

“Yuluo thanks Great Great Grandfather for your guidance and favor.”

As the refined gentleman waved his hand lightly, Xue Yuluo finally completed her last breakthrough.

She had already reached the peak mid-level of the Great Grandmaster realm, but the Heavenly Barrier had troubled her for a whole year. According to her ancestors’ predictions, she would need to focus on cultivation for at least ten years to possibly break through the Heavenly Barrier and reach the higher-level Great Grandmaster realm.

But now, because of the seed of fear planted in the depths of her heart by Chu Mo, in endless fear and darkness, Xue Yuluo’s mentality had been tempered to extreme firmness, and her last weakness was also remedied. Thus, while successfully overcoming her inner demons, she also shattered the Heavenly Barrier that troubled countless others and triumphantly advanced to the higher-level Great Grandmaster realm.

At this time, the gaze of Miss Xue’s family once again settled on Chu Mo across from her. However, this time, within her pure and flawless eyes, there was no longer any color of fear or apprehension, but only a touch of faint indifference and solemnity.

Taking measured steps, Xue Yuluo, with solemn eyes, slowly moved towards Chu Mo. As she stepped forward, all the burdens she carried seemed to fall away. The meridians in her body, originally like mighty rivers, expanded once more, and the Innate True Qi flowing rapidly within also became increasingly dense. In this moment, Xue Yuluo, whose spiritual consciousness had expanded several fold, formally entered the higher-level Great Grandmaster realm. Moreover, unlike Jiang Dingnan and Hua Zhenyu who had forcefully breached the Heavenly Barrier through Sharira and were already of considerable age, with little hope of advancing further due to reliance on external forces,

Miss Xue was different; she was merely eighteen or nineteen years old, a truly favored child of heaven. Furthermore, she had broken through her psychological barriers using her own strength, so her future prospects could be described as boundless.

In comparison with the Xue Yuluo in front of him, even the Half-step Celestial God Tianya at his side felt shame enough to die.

A moment later, when Xue Yuluo arrived in front of Chu Mo, the True Qi in her body had fully solidified, and her higher-level Great Grandmaster realm was completely stable.

The woman with dazzling eyes looked directly at Chu Mo. After a moment, the light veil on her face gently fluttered and then slowly disappeared. In this moment, the enchanting beauty of Miss Xue’s family was revealed before everyone, and Chu Mo couldn’t help but show a hint of intoxication in his eyes.

If Zhan Bingxue and Dong Xun’er, standing nearby, were considered stunning beauties scoring above ninety-five points, and Liang Bing and Ru Yu were exceptional beauties with ninety-eight or ninety-nine points, and Ding Qian and Winnie were perfect epitomes of devastating beauty with a hundred points, then Miss Xue, who had just removed her veil, possessed a beauty beyond the limits of humankind, capable of completely mesmerizing anyone.

At this point, Xue Yuluo, who had successfully ascended to the higher-level Great Grandmaster realm, carried an incredibly proud aura. The tempering of her character during her ordeal with the inner demons had made her even more stable and dignified.

When Chu Mo looked into her eyes, he could even see a hint of ancient wisdom within, and on her beauty transcending human limits, there wasn’t the slightest hint of expression.

“Hostile spiritual attack detected, the guardian system is automatically activated.”

Just as Chu Mo’s eyes began to show growing intoxication, the voice of the system suddenly rang out in his mind, and the next moment, Chu Mo’s entire being became incredibly lucid.
