Once he had given it his all, Mo Wen’s stunning explosion of power could be seen immediately. In just mere moments, he had left Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan behind him. He was like a spirit, and he managed to pa.s.s the monstrous beasts that tried to surround him with just a flicker.
Nangong Mingzhu could possibly surpa.s.s Mo Wen in raw speed with the boost of the Jade Green Cicada Wings.
However, Mo Wen’s Glory of Wind technique was not only used for speed. It also gave him the agility and changes of the wind. Mo Wen also had the Glory of Cloud that was odd and mysteriously accurate.
At the moment, the advantage of the two rites of pa.s.sage martial arts was obvious to all.
However, the further he went, the greater the pressure. A beast king roared into the sky and the terrifying sound waves formed into a wave of attack that forcefully targeted Mo Wen forcefully. Even Mo Wen stopped for a moment against the power of the beast king. It was impossible to block the attack.
There was a flicker of blue light, and the figure of a beast appeared in front of Mo Wen. It was an attractive monstrous beast that was entirely icy blue in color. It was like a deer but had long hair on its temples. The blue hairs were crystal clear and very beautiful.
The moment the beast appeared, a terrifying wave of cold air a.s.saulted Mo Wen. Wherever the beast went, ice and snow covered the land within a thousand-mile radius. However, the cold air stayed and did not disperse within a thousand-mile radius of the beast. Outside that area, the temperature remained the same.
It was a cold attribute beast king. Mo Wen was shocked. The power of the beast king’s Cold Qi was as strong as his. What kind of beast was it to be able to grasp such a stunning cold attribute power?
Mo Wen knew that his Qi of Nine Yin would be at a disadvantage against such a cold attribute beast king. The quality of his Qi might be about the same, but he did not have as much.
The cold attribute beast king seemed to know that Mo Wen’s powers were mysterious and had undergone many changes. It knew that Mo Wen would not be easy to stop. As such, it did not mind expending a huge amount of its powers the moment it appeared to use the No Difference attack to block Mo Wen.
Before Mo Wen could react, it lifted its beautiful front legs off the ground forcefully and then stomped down heavily. A terrifying wave of coldness exploded from its body. The terrifying cold Qi formed a whirlpool from heaven to earth that enveloped the entire s.p.a.ce tightly.
The beast king that looked like a deer was very intelligent. It knew that Mo Wen was good at dodging and that his ability to tunnel through s.p.a.ce was very strong. As such, it did not attack him directly but used a method of restricting his movement to an area.
As long as the lively human was trapped within a certain s.p.a.ce, then it would be able to do whatever it wanted with it.
A terrifying cold Qi enveloped the area. The s.p.a.ce seemed to turn into a hard piece of ice. Mo Wen could sense his hands and legs stiffening up. His mobility was seriously affected.
With how powerful his Qi of Nine Yin was, this cold Qi was not sufficient to freeze him. However, escaping from this cold Qi would not be an easy task. The Qi of Nine Yin’s cold attribute was of no use here and now. How could Mo Wen compare to a beast king if he only used his own strength?
Mo Wen knew the deer beast king’s strategy. It was indeed the most powerful of the monstrous beasts. Its intelligence was not any lower than that of humans. Once he stopped, he would not only be surrounded by a large number of monstrous beasts, it would be difficult to deal with the beast king in front of him too.
Mo Wen harrumphed coldly and retracted the cold Qi in his body, which suddenly completely disappeared. Something no one could have expected then happened. A ray of golden light shone from Mo Wen’s body. The ball of gold light was like the sun, radiating its stunning heat.
A terrifyingly high temperature scorched through the earth. The s.p.a.ce between heaven and earth felt like a furnace. Even a piece of metal that was placed in this s.p.a.ce would melt completely.
The terrifying heat reached an alarming level. The stones on the ground started to melt. Some of the monstrous beasts that were closer to Mo Wen ignited in inextinguishable flames.
The effect of the Beast King’s cold Qi powers was dispersed by the flames on Mo Wen’s body. His mobility was no longer affected.
The Deer Beast King was sh.e.l.l-shocked. It had not expected that something so dramatic would happen. Didn’t this human youth cultivate in cold attribute powers? How could it have suddenly changed into Fire Attribute techniques?
“The legendary ice and fire body?” The Deer Beast King spoke in the human tongue with a look of shock in its eyes. As a beast king, its mind could not comprehend the situation. This human youth was able to switch between two very different kinds of power.
Ice and fire body was the way monstrous beasts said it. It was not cultivated later in life, but it was a talent that one possessed at birth. It was rare to see monstrous beasts with fire and ice body. It was so rare that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, there were exceptions. When ice and fire body monstrous beasts matured, they were immensely powerful.
“Hard and light, the power of extreme flame!”
Elsewhere, shocked sounds could be heard. Even though the other human warriors were some distance away, with their cultivation levels, their sense of perception was extremely strong. They could even sense an ant scratching an itch from within a hundred miles away. There were some things they could sense even at a distance of a thousand miles.
Mo Wen had made such a huge commotion that it was difficult for them not to focus on what he was doing.
The terrifying power of extreme flame could be sensed even from far away. Even steel that was more than a hundred miles away would immediately melt in the heat.
Other than Mo Wen, those who had come were all at least of the martial arts grandmasters rank. They were all knowledgeable. However, such terrifying heat was also rarely seen by them. Even a martial arts grandmaster who cultivated in the fire attribute would not be able to produce such heat.
“Freak, freak! How did he do that?” Lan Zhongzhi’s face was filled with shock. He looked dazed and did not react for a long time. To him, it was already shocking that a youth was able to cultivate the cold attribute to such levels. However, who would have thought that the youth had also cultivated in the entirely different fire attribute techniques? Furthermore, his cultivation had reached an unimaginable level.
Cultivating in both cold and fire was the stuff of legend in the ancient martial arts world. The number of people who could actually do it could be counted on two hands. It was rare in the history of the ancient martial arts world to have someone who cultivated both powers to such high levels. Those who managed to do this were all powerful figures.
An ordinary person who cultivated in both cold and fire would kill himself in a few days. Even if they managed to last, and escape death time after time, it would be impossible for them to achieve anything great.
Regular people who wanted to cultivate in one type of martial arts to the highest realm would already find it difficult. It would be almost impossible with two different types of martial arts that were on two extremes and would try to cancel each other out.
“Hard and light, the power of extreme flame. It has to be the Qi of Nine Yang!” Gao Hanshan’s eyes were filled with shock. He knew that Mo Wen cultivated in the Nine Yang Divine Techniques. As such, he was not surprised by the fiery heat that Mo Wen released. However, he thought of another possibility, and that made him even more shocked. He was so shocked that he, a martial arts grandmaster, could not stop himself from shaking.
Qi of Nine Yang was hard and light. Qi of Nine Yin was dark and cold.
Could the cold attribute inner Qi that Mo Wen had used earlier that be the legendary Qi of Nine Yin?
Gao Hanshan finally understood. It was a thought that made him feel as if his heart was about to fail.
Nine Yin and Nine Yang had appeared in one person at the same time. What did that mean?
Gao Hanshan was the Gao Clan leader. He knew clearly what that meant. Only one person in the history of Ming cult leaders had ever done it. That person had built the most magnificent era of the Ming Cult. It had brought the Ming Cult from a power in the main s.p.a.ce to a power in the various inner worlds. The Ming Cult was known throughout the ancient martial arts world. Its strongest pract.i.tioner was known to be the most powerful cultivator in the universe.
Mo Wen cultivated in both Yin and Yang. Centuries after the Ming Cult fell apart, a second powerful and impressive talent had appeared.
Could it be that the Ming cult that had fallen apart centuries ago was about to appear again? Would it be able to s.h.i.+ne and s.h.i.+ne upon the entire ancient martial arts world again?
Gao Hanshan was shocked and excited. This discovery made him so animated he could not speak. Who would have thought that a youth who had appeared out of nowhere would take the same path as that impressive person from centuries ago?
“This talent is the appearance of the Qilin. It seems like the peaceful Huaxia martial arts world is about to experience an upheaval.”
Tan Qiyue looked at Mo Wen thoughtfully. He seemed to have already seen the future changes in the ancient martial arts world that Mo Wen would bring. He had lived for more than 200 years, and his heart was as calm as still waters. And yet, it started to ripple now.
Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan looked at Mo Wen in surprise. The two were finally taking him seriously. Their previous att.i.tude, ignoring everyone else and behaving as if they were superior, had ended.
Bu Xingyi was the one who looked the most unpleasant out of everyone. Earlier, it could have been said that he felt only hatred and a slight sensation of wariness towards Mo Wen. Now, he felt traces of fear.
A martial arts grandmaster was afraid. And it was a youth who had struck fear in him.
“The brat must not live. Otherwise, trouble will happen in the future!” Bu Xingyi balled his hands into tight fists. His eyes were red. He wanted to kill Mo Wen right now. The brat boy was too talented and was beyond the comprehension of an ordinary person. Even his position as a grand elder of Ming Cult could not bring him a sense of security now. He even suspected that if things were to go on, the little beast would bring disaster upon Ming Cult.
Like the Ming Cult from several centuries ago, the Ming Cult believed in the Enlightened Buddha and in the power of fire. The Ming Cult’s greatest techniques were all fire attribute techniques. The most famous Buddha’s Sacred Scripture was one of the famous hard and light techniques.
However, the Ming Temple set up their own sect, and even though they still believed in the Enlightened Buddha, they no longer followed the teachings that the Ming Cult had in the past. Righteousness, Kindness, Killing Evil and Helping the Poor were qualities that no longer appeared in the Ming Temple. On the contrary, in order to expand the sect and their powers, the Ming Temple behaved despicably and used any means to achieve their goal. The Ming Temple did not have a good reputation in the ancient martial arts world. In fact, their standing in the martial arts world was one of the lowest.
