Chapter 964: The Might of the Heavenly Fire
The spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth in a radius of more than 10,000 miles were all gathered together. Xue Chu had never witnessed such a scene in his entire life. The spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth seemed to be attracted by something, frantically gathering together.
“What’s going on?”
Xue Chu did not understand what was going on exactly. He only felt that Mo Wen had an extremely terrifying aura in his hands. The aura could destroy him instantly. He could not help but feel afraid.
“How can something like this happen?” A sense of foreboding welled up inside Xue Chu.
“Be destroyed,” Mo Wen raised his head and looked at the huge Buddha in the sky. There seemed to be formless flames leaping within his eyes. He slowly extended his hand and sent a palm strike upwards into the air.
Then, a bizarre scene occurred. The Blood Buddha’s huge palm that was descending directly stopped in mid-air and then dissipated little by little. Not just the palm, but in a short while, the entire arm of the huge Blood Buddha turned to dust and scattered.
“How is it possible?” Xue Chu could not believe it. Mo Wen destroyed his Blood Buddha forbidden technique. How could a mere teenager have such ability? Even a Primordial Soul cultivator with great attainment could not destroy his Blood Buddha forbidden technique. After all, this was a Blood Evil Temple forbidden technique that he had spent 50 years to unleash.
Ptui!
Although Mo Wen had merely sent out a palm strike, for him it was already rather difficult. Fresh blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth and his face was as white as a sheet. His figure was trembling slightly like a residual candle in the wind.
Even the Celestial Body nearly could not withstand the recoil of the Spiritless Clean-Fire. Inside and out, his injuries became even more serious, reaching a rather terrifying state. If ordinary cultivators were in such a condition, they would most likely have perished then and there.
“Impossible! How did you do it?” Xue Chu was somewhat diminished. His eyes were full of blood streaks that made people s.h.i.+ver at a glance. Blood also kept oozing from the corners of his mouth. His figure was trembling slightly, seeming uncomfortable. Mo Wen recoiled. It was also the same for Xue Chu. When the Blood Buddha’s arm was destroyed, a portion of the damage would be transferred to Xue Chu.
Two streaks of blood flowed from Xue Chu’s eyes. He stared at Mo Wen like an evil spirit.
“You must die,” right now, Xue Chu only had one thought. No matter what, he had to kill Mo Wen. Otherwise, this youth would be the end of him and even the end of the entire Blood Evil Temple.
“Dual Evils Black and White, attack. Spare no cost and kill this brat,” Xue Chu said fiercely. He also saw through Mo Wen and knew he was burnt out. With the two Sect Grand Elders, they were enough to kill Mo Wen.
Mo Wen coldly looked at the few members of the Blood Evil Temple. The Thousand Mile Talisman that he had been grasping in his hand all this while suddenly released a beam of spiritual light. Instantly, he disappeared from his original spot and appeared 1,000 miles away. Previously, he could not control where he went when unleas.h.i.+ng the Thousand Mile Talisman and could only teleport randomly. However, it was different now. He had cultivated a Primordial Soul. He could determine the destination at a distance and be directly teleported over to the position.
Xue Chu was heavily injured and had no strength to stop him. As for the Blood Evil Temple’s two Sect Grand Elders, they were a distance away from him and were not able to stop him at all. It was a good opportunity for Mo Wen to escape.
“A Teleporting Talisman!”
Xue Chu saw Mo Wen suddenly disappear from his original spot. The next moment, Mo Wen appeared 1,000 miles away, almost exceeding the range of Xue Chu’s soul probe. Xue Chu’s expression drastically changed.
Mo Wen had a Teleporting Talisman! The lowest grade Teleporting Talisman was the Thousand Mile Talisman. In an instant, one could travel a thousand miles. No Primordial Soul Realm cultivator could achieve such speeds; even most Tide Changing Realm cultivators could not manage to do so.
Only cultivators of great attainment in the Tide Changing Realm who were also proficient in releasing techniques could travel 1,000 miles in an instant.
As for the Teleporting Talisman, it was a treasure that even a Tide Changing Realm cultivator could not concoct. Only those whose cultivation had reached the Supreme Profundity Realm and had mastered the profundity of s.p.a.ce could concoct these Teleporting Talismans. A youth like Mo Wen had such a treasure!
In the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, such a Thousand Mile Talisman could be sold for the high price of a few million spiritual stones. After all, such an item could save one’s life at a crucial moment.
“d.a.m.n it!” Xue Chu clenched his teeth tightly. It was already impossible to depend on Dual Evils Black and White to block Mo Wen. The only thing that could block Mo Wen was the Blood Buddha in mid-air. Besides, the window of opportunity was narrow and Xue Chu only had one chance to attack. He didn’t have any time to hesitate or do other preparations.
However, right now, if Xue Chu instructed the Blood Buddha to attack Mo Wen, who was 1,000 away, the price that he had to pay was way more than 50 years of cultivation. Xue Chu might even lose his life to launch this attack. After all, this was a forbidden technique. Moreover, Xue Chu was exhausted and was reaching the end of his life. If he didn’t pay a price, even he couldn’t control the Blood Buddha.
“d.a.m.n it! Who would have thought that I, the dignified Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader, would be forced into such a desperate predicament by a young brute? I am even forced to find a way to survive. The brute must die!” Xue Chu bit down on his lip. He absolutely could not let that brute go. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable. Even if he paid for this with his life, he definitely could not take a step back.
As he hardened his heart, Xue Chu’s entire person immediately released a brilliant crimson light. The crimson light was exceptionally beautiful. It gave off a thrilling sense of beauty. As for Xue Chu, it was as though he was burning in the beautiful crimson fire. His entire person seemed to be melting.
“Temple Leader!” The expressions of the Dual Evils Black and White changed drastically. They were in a state of absolute panic. They knew that the Temple Leader was sacrificing his own life to the Blood Buddha Bead. He was converting his life into a final, frightening attack.
At the same time, the Blood Buddha in the sky above suddenly released beams of crimson light. Crimson light enveloped the heavens and the earth. The missing arm showed signs of it beginning to gradually recover. At the same time, a pressure that was frightening beyond comparison swept across a thousand miles.
The power from Xue Chu sacrificing his life was undoubtedly the most glorious attack that he had unleashed in his entire life.
“As expected!”
A thousand miles away, Mo Wen, who was just preparing to continue using the Thousand Mile Talisman to escape, turned back and glanced at the Blood Buddha above him. A thrilling pressure kept coming down as though it wanted to freeze him to his spot.
He coldly laughed. He had previously predicted that Xue Chu would most likely go all out with no regard for his life and would not easily let Mo Wen go. As expected…
However, Mo Wen had already left himself a way out. How could he let Xue Chu do as he pleased?
Xue Chu had not noticed that Mo Wen, who had used the Thousand Mile Talisman to teleport himself away, had left behind something else. It had not been teleported away with him.
A Thunderbolt Talisman!
Below the Blood Buddha, an ancient spiritual talisman floated quietly. On the spiritual talisman, there were thin streaks of lightning leaping on it. Originally, this item was very obvious. However, be it Xue Chu or the Dual Evils Black and White, they had focused all their attention on Mo Wen, so they had not noticed this spiritual talisman at all.
A thousand miles away, Mo Wen focused his will. The Thunderbolt Talisman immediately became a bolt of lightning and shot up into the sky, instantly piercing the heavens. At the same time, dark clouds filled the sky and a sea of lightning bizarrely appeared. The power contained within the sea of lightning was enough to startle a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator.
Rumble!
The Thunderbolt Talisman dove into the sea of lightning. The next moment, the sea of lightning transformed into a thunderbolt, cras.h.i.+ng ferociously onto the gigantic Blood Buddha. Everything happened without warning. Even Xue Chu had not expected that he would encounter such a sudden attack.
Besides that, the might of the thunderbolt attack was practically shocking. Its power had surpa.s.sed that of an all-out attack delivered by a strong pract.i.tioner who had reached the great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm.
The unguarded Blood Buddha dissipated slowly after being hit by the thunderbolt directly. In an instant, it had turned into dust and the sky returned to normal.
Xue Chu’s figure froze on his original spot. He was expressionless, with a slightly dull gaze. He seemed puzzled and had inexplicable and complicated emotions.
Once the Blood Buddha was destroyed, his life sacrifice would naturally be terminated. It meant that he had narrowly escaped death. However, right now, he felt even worse than death. Once Mo Wen escaped, in the future… He did not dare to continue thinking about it.
For a person like Mo Wen, once they offended him, they needed to eliminate him to prevent him from coming back to seek revenge. Otherwise, the consequences would be destructive. Initially, Xue Chu was not too concerned about Mo Wen. After all, Mo Wen was just a youth, no matter how talented he was, he still needed a very long time to grow.
However, in the recent battle, he had already realized that the Blood Evil Temple’s crisis was approaching.
A few hundred miles away, on top of a mountain peak, stood an elder dressed in green robes. He utilized the advantage of him being at a high place to spectate the entire battle that just occurred.
“Such a terrifying youth. He is practically horrifying. Something extremely terrible is about to happen to the Blood Evil Temple.”
This elder was none other than Zhang Huishan who had followed Mo Wen furtively from Li’an City. He regretted it slightly. He should have held fast and firmly helped the youth to fight against the Blood Evil Temple courageously. Now, he had lost a good chance to befriend the youth.
This youth was definitely not ordinary. He was destined to stand head and shoulders above the rest. Let alone his background, even with just himself, he deserved respect and fear from others.
The world shouldn’t be fooled by how the Blood Evil Temple was hunting the youth now. Most likely not long after, the Blood Evil Temple would become the youth’s prey.
…
A thousand miles away, the Thousand Mile Talisman was once again activated. Mo Wen disappeared from his original spot. With a few flickers, he had disappeared completely without a trace.
Half a month later, in an unnamed mountain forest, a youth dressed in white robes was sitting cross-legged at the entrance of a cave. He faced the sunlight and was meditating quietly.
This person was none other than Mo Wen who had escaped from Li’an City.
After an unknown period, he completed his meditation and opened his eyes slowly.
“At that time, I was too severely injured. Even with the aid of Vital Energy and various healing medicinal pills, most likely I will need at least a month to recover.”
Mo Wen sighed. His other injuries were still fine, but the injury caused by the recoil of the Spiritless Clean-Fire was troublesome. He didn’t think he would be able to heal in a short amount of time.
However, his ability was about 80% recovered. He did not need to hide and heal his wounds anymore.
From the battle with the Blood Evil Temple, Mo Wen’s greatest insight was that his cultivation was still insufficient. He might be able to dictate situations as he pleased outside, but in an Ancient Age place like the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, he was rather insignificant.
“Unfortunately, I have not cultivated an incredible release technique. Otherwise, I would not have been so pathetic in the battle that day,” Mo Wen thought.
Mo Wen’s speed was very fast, even surpa.s.sing strong pract.i.tioners like Xue Chu. However, Xue Chu was not proficient at speed. Winning against him had no meaning at all. If it was a later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator that was proficient in flying and soaring, Mo Wen would most likely be no match for them.
