Chapter 721: Heaven and Earth Four Spirits
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Peac.o.c.k Beast King’s seven Demonic Spiritual Treasures feathers were valuable treasures born from its millennium of cultivation. Their might was no weaker than that of an ancient martial art pract.i.tioner’s low-grade profound level weapon. Unleashed with the Peac.o.c.k Beast King’s cultivation, one could it imagine its power.
The seven tail feathers became a huge hundred-meter long feather. It crashed again and again onto the light shroud coalesced by the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem. The light shroud shook violently. However, no matter how the Peac.o.c.k Beast King attacked it, it refused to break. On the surface, it appeared precarious, but in reality, it was as stable as Taishan Mountain.
Mo Wen felt his Inner Qi drop at a terrifying rate. The Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem used his cultivation as a foundation. If it was not supplied with power, it was impossible for it to have the power to block the Peac.o.c.k Beast King’s attack.
If he had the cultivation of a first realm Martial Arts Grandmaster, his Inner Qi most likely would have been sucked dry in a breath. Even with his current cultivation, Mo Wen was unlikely to last long. The power required to maintain the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem was huge.
“Attention everyone. Gather around the stratagem flags. Please inject your Inner Qi into them,” Mo Wen shouted loudly. His voice could be heard a hundred kilometers away. The Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem’s true power lay not in how much power it could unleash, but in how it could absorb all power and convert it into its own. It was not only Mo Wen’s power that could maintain the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem. The power of all the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners could be used to maintain it. Even some of the power attacking the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem could be partially converted into its own power. It was miraculous.
Only with the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem could the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners unite as one and unleash their combined power to the fullest. Otherwise, only a few human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners could block a simple attack from the Peac.o.c.k Beast King alone.
The ancient martial art pract.i.tioners that had been able to enter the Fire Domain were all the elite of the ancient martial arts world. They understood Mo Wen’s meaning as soon as he gave his order. In an instant, a large number of ancient martial art pract.i.tioners surrounded the stratagem flags and frantically injected their own Inner Qi into them. The next moment, the light that enveloped the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners shone brightly. The huge light shroud immediately stabilized. No matter how the Peac.o.c.k Beast King attacked, it did not shake anymore.
“It can actually do such a thing!” A look of astonishment flashed in the Peac.o.c.k Beast King’s eyes. The peculiar stratagem could combine all the power of the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners into one. Although a single human ancient martial art pract.i.tioner alone was far inferior to the Beast Kings, there were many human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners. If everyone’s power was gathered together, it would be remarkably strong.
Disregarding everything else, with this protective shroud and all the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners united, it would be impossible for the Peac.o.c.k Beast King to break through their defenses.
“I’ve said before that nothing is simple. In this game of death, it is impossible for victory to be ascertained so definitely.” The Dragon Horse sighed. The Peac.o.c.k Beast King and the Dragon Beast King kept thinking that killing off these human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners would be an easy task. After the Tower Spirit raised their cultivation, the two Beast Kings thought that no one would be a match for them in this s.p.a.ce.
However, it would be meaningless to have this game of death if everything was so simple. The Tower Spirit would definitely not do such a thing. Otherwise, this group of human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners would have failed the first two stages and would not have appeared in front of them now.
“As Lord Dragon Horse commands.” The Peac.o.c.k Beast King lowered its head. It believed that with the Lord Dragon Horse present, they would absolutely not lose.
“Go all out then. Try your best to defeat them in the shortest amount of time,” the Dragon Horse said softly. The creature spread its wings, and its figure disappeared from its original spot. The next moment, the Dragon Horse had appeared on top of the Four Guardians Light Shroud. Its four limbs stepped on the light shroud, and its front limbs lifted high and stamped down on the light shroud forcefully.
Rumble!
A circle of golden flame, with the Dragon Horse as its center, spread out. It was as though a storm had been unleashed. A terrifying force poured down and the Four Guardians Light Shroud, which had been as stable as a mountain, shook violently once again.
A terrifying force penetrated through the light shroud. Some ancient martial art pract.i.tioners with lower cultivation were impacted, vomiting blood frantically. Their faces went pale.
However, luckily, the Dragon Horse’s attack did not instantly shatter the Four Guardians Light Shroud’s defense.
“More power!” Mo Wen frowned. He had not expected that the power of the Dragon Horse was this strong.
Beam upon beam of light shone from the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners’ bodies. After they experienced the Dragon Horse’s terrifying might, no one dared to be careless.
The Dragon Horse frowned as well but for a different reason. The stomp that it had used just now was its all-out attack, yet it had not broken the defense of the Four Guardians Light Shroud.
The Peac.o.c.k Beast King and the Dragon Beast King also pounced forwards, joining in the attack. The three beasts continuously attacked. The human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners could not stabilize the Four Guardians Light Shroud’s violent shaking, despite their best defensive efforts. It was as though it was on the verge of completely shattering.
“What do we do now?” Nangong Mingzhu said as her eyebrows furrowed. She flew towards Mo Wen. The appearance of the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem was a surprise for her too. She had not expected this stratagem to be so ridiculously powerful. However, they could not stay like this for long. Even though the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem had a high defensive ability, it was impossible for them to just hide in the stratagem forever.
Aside from Nangong Mingzhu, the other human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners that had exceeded the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm were also all gathered together. Among the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners, they were the ones with true combat power. Even Chu Yuan right now was standing silently beside Mo Wen. Now was not the time to look into personal vendettas. Everyone’s lives were tied together. One careless mistake, and no one would be getting out of this s.p.a.ce alive.
Right now, because of the appearance of the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem, Mo Wen had officially become everyone’s leader. Even Nangong Mingzhu, who was always arrogant, silently acknowledged Mo Wen’s position as the commander.
“Of the three beasts, who do you think is the easiest to kill? Who is the hardest?” Mo Wen asked.
“That goes without saying. The easiest to kill is the Dragon Beast King. The hardest to kill is the Dragon Horse,” Chu Yuan said with a sullen face. Although the Dragon Beast King was the largest among the three beasts, it was also the easiest to kill.
No one understood why Mo Wen asked this. In theory, the Dragon Beast King was the easiest to kill, followed by the Peac.o.c.k Beast King. But that was only in theory. In reality, all three beasts were hard to kill. With the Dragon Horse around, they would not be able to kill the other two beasts unless they could isolate them. It would be impossible for the Dragon Horse to stand aside, not do anything, and witness the humans killing off the Dragon Beast King and the Peac.o.c.k Beast King.
“In a short amount of time, it is impossible for us to kill the Dragon Horse. When we battle it, our chances of victory or defeat are unknown. In order for us to increase our chance of success, we must first clip the Dragon Horse’s wings. So, we will first attack the Dragon Beast King and the Peac.o.c.k Beast King and kill them. After that, we will gather our strength and fight the Dragon Horse to the death.”
A bright light flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. His eyes burned with the desire to fight. The more dangerous it was, the more he could disregard everything and unleash his full potential.
“How do we kill it?” Nangong Mingzhu asked. Everyone shared her doubts. Surely Mo Wen was well aware of that. Everyone understood the theory but they needed Wen said to come up with a plausible solution. They all stared at him.
“The Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem can seal the Dragon Horse for a short while. I dare not be certain of how long, but two minutes should be a conservative estimate. We need to kill the Peac.o.c.k Beast King and the Dragon Beast King in two minutes.”
Mo Wen’s gaze looked past the Four Guardians Light Shroud towards the three ferocious beasts that were constantly attacking the light shroud. Under normal circ.u.mstances, with the three beasts attacking, the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem would be unlikely to last very long. However, the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners were not without other forms of support. The Recovery Lights could continuously replenish their Inner Qi. This made it rather difficult for the three beasts to break through the Four Guardians Light Shroud.
“Really?” Nangong Mingzhu drew a cold breath as she looked at Mo Wen with s.h.i.+ning eyes. She clearly knew how powerful the Dragon Horse was. It most likely was infinitesimally approaching a legendary demon. Trapping a demonic beast like that? Just the thought of it was unbelievable.
“How could the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem be so uncomplicated? It can trap even the sky, let alone a demonic beast.” Mo Wen laughed coldly. “After this, I will use the power of the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem to seal the Dragon Horse. All of you divide into two groups. One group will attack. Try your best to kill a beast in the shortest amount of time. The other group will try your best to hold off the other beast.” Mo Wen called those human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners with high combat ability to his side to discuss their combat strategies.
After a moment, Mo Wen’s body emanated an absolute power. The power frenziedly surged into the stratagem flags. At the same time, Nangong Mingzhu and some of the others injected their own power for the first time. All of this was injected into the stratagem flags at once. Immediately, the stratagem flags shone brightly, and the Four Guardians Light Shroud became more and more substantial.
Mo Wen drew out a miraculous ritualistic gesture. Rune after rune flew out from his hand and fused into the Four Guardians Stratagem Flags. Nangong Mingzhu’s gaze was complicated as she looked at Mo Wen. Not only had he obtained a set of Four Guardians Stratagem Flags, but he had also obtained a set of defense stratagem ritualistic gestures for the Four Guardians Stratagem. These ritualistic gestures were authentic immortal ritualistic gestures.
Maybe he would not be able to take the Four Guardians Stratagem Flags out from the Fighting Spirit Tower, but in the future, if he was fated to walk the Way of Immortals, he could certainly use this defense stratagem ritualistic gestures to replicate a set of the Four Guardians Stratagem. Right now, she could tell that the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem was extraordinary. It was certainly a peerless stratagem that could shake the heavens.
Although a superb-grade Healing Light could give them an extra life, they could not be taken out of this s.p.a.ce. But defense stratagem ritualistic gestures were different. Clearly, her greatest mistake was not choosing the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem.
The runes fused into the stratagem flag, and, after a short while, the Four Guardians Stratagem Flags trembled.
Roar!
Howl!
The roar of dragons and beasts could be heard. The Four Guardians Stratagem Flags suddenly shone brightly. From the Azure Dragon Flag, an azure light flashed and a thousand-meter long Azure Dragon flew out. From the White Tiger Flag, a White Tiger as huge as a mountain walked out. A huge Black Tortoise, more than a thousand meters in diameter, stepped out from the Black Tortoise Flag. From the Vermillion Bird Flag, a beautiful Vermillion Bird flew out. It was as though all the beauty of the entire lifetime of the world was gathered in it.
They were the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits. The four divine beasts appeared at the same time. Their frightening divinity caused the three beast kings that were constantly attacking the Four Guardians Light Shroud to tremble, and they suddenly halted their attacks. They looked over with fearful and astonished gazes. As demonic beasts, they had a natural inborn respect and fear of divine beasts.
