Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1149 - 724: The System Returns_2
Chapter 1149: Chapter 724: The System Returns_2
However, as Chu Mo took a step forward, an immensely terrifying pressure suddenly appeared before him. The magnitude of this pressure was such that ordinary people would not dare to force their way through it, and even powerful martial artists might faint under its horrifying weight.
The moment the pressure emerged, Chu Mo’s figure slightly staggered. He immediately opened the wooden box containing the Sharira, took the Sharira in his hand, and as the last trace of mysterious energy from the Sharira began to circulate within his body, Chu Mo, who was about to be overwhelmed by the enormous pressure, finally stood up straight again. His gaze was fixed on the two elderly men at the end of the narrow path. Clearly, the immense pressure was being jointly emitted by the two of them, and their purpose seemed to be to stop him from advancing.
In the depths of Chu Mo’s heart, there was a faint guess that perhaps the Xue family was not so eager to take his possessions; they just did not want him to go to the Shaolin Temple and did not want him to meet Grandmaster Zhi Shang.
With such thoughts in mind, the next moment Chu Mo hesitated no longer; he took a step forward and then strode ahead.
Not far away, the two white-haired elders saw that Chu Mo was undeterred, and they exchanged a glance. Then, the two men, one dressed in black and the other in white, transformed into streaks of light and quickly dashed towards Chu Mo.
At this moment, behind Chu Mo, the two Great Grandmasters, Lei Ting and Qin Lan, similarly showed no sign of weakness. Despite the fact that they were not truly a match for the opposition, it was still possible for them to momentarily hinder them.
As the four beams of light swiftly collided, accompanied by a series of dull and terrifying collision sounds, the four Great Grandmasters finally clashed in combat. At this point, Chu Mo paid no attention to anything else and continued to forge ahead with large strides. Soon after, he passed the narrow path and, crossing the small road, the scenery before him suddenly opened up, and standing there, he could clearly see the main gate of the Shaolin Temple.
Chu Mo’s eyes carried a touch of solemnity. He knew that his danger was truly starting now. If the Xue family were determined to stop him from passing, Chu Mo himself did not know how to cope, for after all, he was just an ordinary person. Without the protection of the Sharira, he would not have been able to withstand even the pressure just now, and should a martial artist truly attack him, let alone a Great Grandmaster, even if the opponent were the weakest D-level martial artist, Chu Mo would only have his bottom kicked.
Chu Mo’s expression became extremely solemn as he moved forward. Although the sound of combat behind him had entered an intense stage, with trees thick enough to be embraced by an adult being snapped by the impacts, and even the figure of the Great Grandmaster Lei Ting being sent flying by the palm of the white-clothed elder, crashing into several large trees before barely coming to a stop. However, the pertinacious Lei Ting did not hesitate at all; after picking himself up, he continued to charge towards the white-clothed old man.
Then, following a brief moment of silence, when Chu Mo was only a few steps away from the main gate of the Shaolin Temple, a delicate and boneless white jade hand suddenly attacked Chu Jie’s shoulder from the side. The opponent’s speed was as fast as lightning; with Chu Mo’s eyesight, he only felt a gust of wind, and before he could even turn his head, his whole body was smashed away like being hit by a train.

Not only was his body severely damaged, but Chu Mo could distinctly feel a terrifying stream of heat drilling into his body from that small hand. The heat flow was like scorching lava, instantly ravaging Chu Mo’s inner organs.
Before a mouthful of fresh blood could be spat out, the Sharira in his hand suddenly flashed brightly, and the next instant, the last trace of energy from the Sharira surged madly into Chu Mo’s body. It resisted against the scorching breath that had invaded him. After a fleeting moment, the heat flow that was continually destroying Chu Mo’s organs finally dissipated, and the Sharira in Chu Mo’s arms cracked, its last sliver of mysterious energy also completely vanishing.
When Chu Mo’s body finally fell to the ground from mid-air, at the location where he was originally standing, an adolescent girl with the innocent appearance of a doll stood with an incredulous expression, staring at her own pale and tender hands. She lightly opened her mouth and called out in the distance:
“Miss, didn’t you say that this senior Chu is an unparalleled expert at the level of a Celestial God? I was just playing around and sneaked an attack, how did it hit him so easily?”
The fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, innocent-faced, had just spoken when, from the forest in the distance, the daughter of the Xue family, clad in snow-white garments ethereal as a descending goddess, lightly tapped her toes on the branches and gracefully floated down from a tree ten meters high.
As she landed, the enchantingly beautiful woman, her face still covered with a light veil, said thoughtfully:
“As expected, how could there be a true Celestial God-level expert in this world? People of the world are ignorant; they do not know that beyond the Heavenly Barrier, there is also the Divine Barrier. To break through the realm of a Celestial God, one must shatter the Divine Barrier. However, with the current spiritual energy of the entire Earth, it’s simply impossible for anyone to gather enough spiritual energy.”
Half-step Celestial God, that is the martial limit this world can sustain.
The woman with a light veil on her face slowly approached, and she came to the side of Chu Mo, who was lying on the ground, then she began to speak:
“If I’m not mistaken, the reason you, with a mortal’s body, can help those Great Grandmasters break through the Heavenly Barrier, is because of the Sharira in your arms, right!
The Sharira is a treasured item of the Buddhist community, with every single one born from the posthumous remains of a Buddhist master. The Sharira contains vast amounts of Spiritual Energy, which is key to breaking through the Heavenly Barrier. You’ve helped so many people break through; I assume the Spiritual Energy within that Sharira is nearly depleted!”
With just a few sentences, the absolutely stunning girl behind the veil had pinpointed Chu Mo’s biggest secret, which clearly showed that her strength and wisdom were far beyond common folk.
Meanwhile, behind the young Miss Xue, the girl in pink retracted her hand. She had just hit Chu Mo’s shoulder with all her might, fully prepared to be sent flying as a result, yet nothing of the sort happened, causing her to worry unnecessarily. Looking at Chu Mo, who now lay on the ground without getting up, the girl in pink pouted and said:
“What a shame, you turned out to be a fake. And to think I mistook you for a predecessor of divine realm and revered you for so long! What a waste of my emotions.”
The girl in pink lightly pursed her lips, seemingly blaming Chu Mo for deceiving her. Seeing that Chu Mo on the ground was completely ignoring her, the frustrated girl snorted coldly and immediately took action again.
This time, knowing that Chu Mo was just an ordinary person, she did not use her full power, merely a tenth of her strength. Even so, with her terrifying power as a half-step Grandmaster, if Chu Mo didn’t have the aid of the Sharira, he would likely sustain serious injuries.
Miss Xue from the Xue family did not stop her little maid from striking. She had already warned Chu Mo before; the previous time was just a probe but this time, they could not easily let things slide.
Just as the girl in pink’s delicate little hand was about to strike Chu Mo yet again, Qin Lan suddenly broke free from the white-clothed old man she was entangled with not far away. However, as soon as she had exerted all her strength to force him to retreat, she was pursued and caught up by the white-clothed old man.
Qin Lan was merely an early-stage upper-level Great Grandmaster, whereas the white-clothed old man in front of her had been renowned for dozens of years. Whether in terms of control over Innate True Qi or the richness of True Qi within his body, he was far beyond what Qin Lan could match; hence, it was impossible for Qin Lan to break free from his obstruction.
As for Lei Ting nearby, with his early-stage Great Grandmaster strength, if the black-clothed old man across from him had not been merciful, he would have already fallen and been unable to rise. Lei Ting was completely unable to fend for himself, let alone provide any help.
At this moment, just as the soft little hand of the girl in pink was about to land on Chu Mo, the latter, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly opened his eyes wide!
In his mind, that familiar yet strange voice finally sounded.
“Host’s life-threatening situation detected, The Tycoon System reactivating…!”
