Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As soon as the Cold Bead appeared, it transformed into three thousand cold beams, gus.h.i.+ng out and slas.h.i.+ng forcefully towards Mo Wen.
Mo Wen was taken aback. This female Beast King was really decisive when it was enraged. It was most likely not an easy task to coalesce the Cold Bead. It would be difficult to coalesce such a pure Cold Bead without at least decades or centuries. The female Beast King had used it decisively.
Mo Wen felt a little pressured. He was now faced with a huge problem. Any of the three thousand cold beams was equivalent to an all-out attack from a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
The speed of the cold beams was astonis.h.i.+ng. Furthermore, the Cold Qi covered the surrounding area, turning the land into ice. Even the air was frozen. It seemed impossible to escape all the cold beams.
“This female Beast King is ruthless.”
Mo Wen cursed under his breath. A crimson light suddenly illuminated on his right hand. It was followed by a crimson fist appearing over Mo Wen’s fist. The blood-red fist emanated an evil aura. It was none other than the profound level weapon, the Blood-Clotting Claw.
A red halo spread from Mo Wen’s fist. The next moment, the fist merged with Mo Wen’s hand. There seemed to be some crimson liquid flowing into Mo Wen’s hand. His hand started to expand slowly. His blood vessels bulged and they crisscrossed hideously like blood dragons.
Mo Wen’s palm had disappeared. A bizarre beast claw was joined to his arm. The size of the beast claw doubled, emanating an evil and b.l.o.o.d.y aura. The five sharp claws glowed with a faint light, as though they could s.n.a.t.c.h someone’s soul away.
Dragon Claw?
Mo Wen was stunned. He did not expect that activating the Blood-Clotting Claw would produce such an effect. The beast claw before him looked like a dragon claw.
Waves of terrifying force were transmitted into Mo Wen’s brain from his right hand. Mo Wen felt like he could even tear a mountain apart with one hand.
Such a terrifying force! The effect of the attacking type profound level weapon, the Blood-Clotting Claw, made Mo Wen feel a powerful force that he had never felt before.
Everything happened in an instant.
When the three thousand cold beams rained on them, Mo Wen tried his best to dodge them using the Glory of Wind. When he really could not dodge them, only then did he defend using the Blood-Clotting Claw. However, the attacking force of the cold beams was too powerful. Mo Wen was injured every time he tried to ward them off. Luckily, he had practiced the Celestial Scripture: Sun and Moon until the eighth level. His body’s self-recovery ability had reached a very high realm. Otherwise, even he could not be sure whether he could withstand such a terrifying attack.
The cold beams that did not hit Mo Wen flew everywhere. Everywhere they pa.s.sed by, they caused countless deaths and injuries. Once the pinnacle of the seventh rank monstrous beasts came in slight contact with the cold beams, they turned to ice in an instant, shattering on the ground. Originally, the monstrous beasts had been densely packed in the area, but with just one blow from the Deer Beast King, a few hundred monstrous beasts were killed, clearing out a patch of empty s.p.a.ce.
The power of the Beast King was so terrifying!
Cold beams swept past. In the final wave, five cold beams cleaved over at the same time. Mo Wen was so scared he turned as white as a sheet. This was equivalent to the all-out attacks of five Martial Arts Grandmasters. A single slip could blast him to pieces.
Mo Wen unleashed the Glory of Wind, dodging two cold beams coming from the front. But there were three beams that he could not evade.
He bit down on his teeth and furiously unleashed the Glory of Thunder. At the same time, he crushed a medium grade Healing Light. The red light enveloped his body.
The next moment, his body lit up with lightning. Beams of lightning appeared on his body, leaping over it and emanating a destructive aura.
Lightning being generated from the surface of one’s body was the embodiment of having practiced the first realm of the Glory of Thunder’s first stage, Brewing Thunder, completely.
An astonis.h.i.+ng destructive power surged from Mo Wen’s body. Combined with the Blood-Clotting Claw, a furious punch crashed towards the cold beams.
Rumble!
A terrifying power exploded out, directly shattering the three cold beams. Mo Wen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. With such a frightening power being reflected back, he was instantly severely injured. Fortunately, he was already prepared. The medium grade Healing Light was still on him. It immediately began to heal his wounds. In an instant, his injuries were much better.
Mo Wen’s silhouette flashed and he pa.s.sed by the Deer Beast King. Even if he had taken a huge hit from the Deer Beast King, right now he did not dare to attack it. He only wanted to save Bu Xingyi and immediately escape from this frightening circle of monstrous beasts.
The human youth had once again slipped past it. The Deer Beast King blinked, unable to believe its eyes. This human youth was impossible to kill! The Deer Beast King could not believe it! Even its Cold Bead had been released. It had cultivated the Cold Bead for two hundred years and it was the strongest attack that it could release. Against a Beast King of the same realm, all would be killed by the Cold Bead. For the Deer Beast King, everything that had happened today was too preposterous.
After Mo Wen slipped past the Deer Beast King, he ended up in the center of the battle circle. Right now, Bu Xingyi was being sent flying by a Beast King’s punch. Against the encirclement of a few Beast Kings, it would be strange if he was having a good time.
Mo Wen did not know how serious Bu Xingyi’s injuries were, but he knew that Bu Xingyi right now most likely could not even stand.
Fortunately, he had made it in time. With a flash of his silhouette, he appeared in front of Bu Xingyi and caught his body that had been sent flying outwards as though he was picking up a chick. Then, he turned and ran.
How could the Beast Kings not be enraged with Mo Wen intending to s.n.a.t.c.h their prey? A Beast King leaped forward, directly sending a huge fist cras.h.i.+ng out.
The Beast King that had injured Bu Xingyi came chasing, sending a punch cras.h.i.+ng out from behind, and blocking Mo Wen’s exit.
A light flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. His left hand pressed downwards, and the next moment a peculiar aura was released from his body. The aura spread outwards, forming a force that covered a very wide area. The force field slowly turned, one positive and one negative, one hot and one cold.
“The Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft!”
More precisely, it was The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft that had been practiced to the seventh level. Ordinary Ming Cult leaders only practiced the original version of The Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft and could only practice it to the sixth level. But Mo Wen practiced both the Nine Yin Divine Technique and the Nine Yang Divine Technique. Not only could he practice the upgraded version of The Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft, but he could also practice The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft to the seventh level.
Mo Wen had previously been able to practice The Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft to the third level and was already able to successfully counter his opponents regularly. Mo Wen did not know how terrifying The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft was. After he emerged from the mysterious galaxy, this was his first time unleas.h.i.+ng it.
A formless force field expanded outwards, covering a radius of a hundred meters. Large amounts of monstrous beasts that were under the effect of the force field all floated up. They could not control their bodies at all. They floated in the formless force field and flowed in the direction of the forces, constantly spinning.
The two Beast Kings that attacked Mo Wen felt their bodies tremble. Their entire bodies seemed to have stopped. The next moment, their punches that were aimed at Mo Wen suddenly changed direction, cras.h.i.+ng towards a few monstrous beasts to the side. The monstrous beasts did not even manage to cry out before being crushed to dust instantly by the frightening power of the Beast Kings.
The combined attack of the two Beast Kings was directly s.h.i.+fted away by Mo Wen. He used this opportunity and slipped through the encirclement of the three Beast Kings. With Bu Xingyi in one hand, he flew back out like lightning. Without any Beast King in the way, ordinary monstrous beasts could not stop Mo Wen. He easily slipped through and out of the beast pack.
Bu Xingyi’s eyes were full of shock. Mo Wen had actually saved him from such a dangerous situation. With his cultivation restricted, Bu Xingyi would very likely have perished in such an attack if he was not careful, especially when the enraged Deer Beast King had released the Cold Bead. Mo Wen had actually blocked it, and also successfully rescued him.
“Just now, what power did you use to s.h.i.+ft the attacks of the two Beast Kings?” Bu Xingyi asked with a cracked voice.
Mo Wen’s body emanated a peculiar power which was rather mysterious. Reality had also proved that the mysterious force field could actually s.h.i.+ft the attacks of the two Beast Kings. Mo Wen only had pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. For him to be able to pull this off, what sort of earth-shaking, astonis.h.i.+ng martial arts teachings had he practiced?
Mo Wen ignored Bu Xingyi. His silhouette became a beam of light. He managed to rush back to the altar in the nick of time.
When Mo Wen returned to the altar, there were less than five seconds left to the designated time. The people on the altar were awaiting the result in a cold sweat.
Mo Wen coldly threw Bu Xingyi onto the ground, then ignored him.
“You…” Bu Xingyi had not expected that Mo Wen would actually treat him so harshly, simply throwing him as though he was garbage. Where was his dignity as a Martial Arts Grandmaster? But seeing the situation at hand, he could only endure it. How could one not bow to circ.u.mstances?
The few people on the altar looked at Bu Xingyi, not hiding their cold snorts. This incident directly showed them that this person would most likely drag them down again in the future.
Bu Xingyi naturally knew what the others meant. His face turned red. He wanted to throw a tantrum, but he did not dare to do so. He retrieved a medium grade Healing Light from his sleeve. After using it, most of his injuries instantly recovered but some of his injuries were too severe. If he wanted to immediately be healed, he needed to use a top-grade Healing Light.
Bu Xingyi did not have any top-grade Healing Lights. They were too hard to find. He had killed countless monstrous beasts but no pinnacle of the seventh rank monstrous beasts and a top-grade Healing Light had yet to appear. He suspected that only by killing a beast at the level of a Beast King would top grade light tools possibly drop.
“Congratulations, you have completed the first stage of the task. You will all receive your respective rewards.”
The Tower Spirit’s voice suddenly sounded. At the same time, seven beams of white light descended from the sky, enveloping all seven of them separately. The next moment, everyone felt their Inner Qi, soul power and vigor being rapidly replenished.
Mo Wen had come into contact with the white light before. He knew that the Tower Spirit was helping to restore their conditions, so he was not surprised.
After Bu Xingyi knew the effects of the white light, he felt a pang of regret. If he knew that this would happen, he would not have used a medium grade Healing Light before this. He did not have many medium grade Healing Lights. For him, wasting one was a sizable loss.
“For pa.s.sing the first stage, everyone is rewarded with one top-grade Unsealing Light. Warrior Mo Wen was the first to reach the destination, and he also returned to save his companion. For his exceptional performance in the task, he is specially rewarded with a top grade Healing Light and a ninth rank talisman.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen’s heart leaped. Setting aside a top grade Healing Light, the ninth rank talisman was a terrifying item that was rumored to be able to kill a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
