Chapter 726: Power Transference

Golden flames rose through the sky. The Dragon Horse stood in the air, emanating an impressive aura.
The faces of all the human warriors were all deathly pale. Even though they were hidden in the Four Guardians Light Shroud, they could all sense how terrifying the Dragon Horse was.
“We neglected a serious problem. The Dragon Horse is not alone. There is still the spiritual fire…” Mo Wen sighed softly. He could sense the spiritual pulse of the spiritual fire. The spiritual fire was one with the Dragon Horse. If they were not close, this sort of merger was impossible.
The spiritual fire was the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Alone, it was powerful. If the power of the spiritual fire were to be released completely, it would definitely be more terrifying than the Dragon Horse. They had not considered the spiritual fire earlier and had suddenly thought of this issue now.
Mo Wen’s lips curved in a bitter smile. The Dragon Horse was one with the spiritual fire right now. It was already more powerful than they could imagine.
“I see.” Nangong Mingzhu sighed softly. She now understood why the Dragon Horse had suddenly become so powerful. It was not their fault for not considering this earlier. The probability of the spiritual fire and the Horse Dragon merging was low. After all, the spiritual fire was the spiritual essence of heaven and earth and was an individual ent.i.ty. It could not be used by others easily, much less merge with anyone without any resistance.
However, the Dragon Horse already had very strong cultivation and could withstand the power of the spiritual fire. It could also make the spiritual fire merge with it willingly. These two points both tallied.
“What shall we do?” Chu Yuan was a little anxious. Even though he was an immortal cultivator and had some tricks hidden up his sleeve, he was unlikely to defeat the Dragon Horse. He feared that, once they met, he would probably be killed by the Dragon Horse in mere seconds.
n.o.body answered his question as they all descended into silence. n.o.body knew what to do next. Even Mo Wen was frowning. Even with the help of the Four Guardians Stratagem, it was impossible for them to defeat such a terrifying mythical beast.
There was a sudden flash of silver light beneath their feet, and a huge whirlpool of starlight appeared below Mo Wen. The tornado wrapped around him and grew bigger and bigger, becoming denser and denser.
“What a huge ray of starlight!” Nangong Mingzhu, who was standing next to Mo Wen, was careless and was tossed into the air by the ray of starlight. She had not managed to block it, even with her cultivation levels. She looked at Mo Wen in shock. The tornado of starlight was enormous. It was much bigger than the ones she had seen before. Even the starlight that the Dragon Beast King had generated when it died was only a fifth of this.
She knew that the starlight that surrounded Mo Wen was from the Peac.o.c.k Beast King. Furthermore, since Mo Wen had killed the Peac.o.c.k Beast King alone, the starlight went only for him. However, there was so much starlight that she was still extremely shocked. It was five times the amount of starlight from the Dragon Beast King. Was the Peac.o.c.k Beast King that “valuable”? Nangong Mingzhu was sh.e.l.l-shocked. The starlight from the five Beast Kings killed earlier would still amount to less than half the starlight here right now.
Mo Wen stood in the middle of the tornado of starlight. His power continued to increase as his cultivation levels climbed. In the time it took to take a breath, his power experienced an earth-shaking change. He emitted rays of terrifying power as his aura continued to grow stronger.
Joy flashed in the eyes of the human warriors around him. Everyone knew that the stronger Mo Wen was, the greater their chances of victory were. Whether they could walk out of the Fighting Spirit Tower did not depend on how many of them there were, but on the most powerful minority among them.
The tornado of starlight only started to slowly dispel after a full five minutes. The Dragon Horse stood on the golden flames but did not take the opportunity to attack them. Instead, it watched the human warriors below with its bright golden eyes.
Mo Wen’s body floated upwards slowly. Ray after ray of thunder and lightning jumped on his body. He was like a thunder G.o.d. The eyes of the human warriors were all fixed on him. Their eyes were filled with their last rays of hope. Everyone knew that a miracle would not happen to them, but to this youth. Whether they could survive would depend on whether Mo Wen could create another miracle.
There was a flash of light and six b.a.l.l.s of light appeared in front of Mo Wen. They were much less powerful items compared to the items that had appeared after the Dragon Beast King’s death. However, the six b.a.l.l.s of light captured Mo Wen’s attention immediately. They weren’t light tools or semi-finished spiritual talisman. They were six small and exquisite short swords. The carvings on the swords were exquisite and detailed and were simple yet regal.
Flying swords! The term appeared in Mo Wen’s brain immediately, and he found he could recognize them. They were flying swords of the immortal cultivation world. Furthermore, the six of them were a single set and could be a.s.sembled into a sword stratagem. Each flying sword was a superb-grade profound level weapon. Six superb-grade profound level weapons formed a set of flying swords. Mo Wen could not help but breathe in deeply.
The six flying swords vibrated slightly and appeared beside Mo Wen. Then, waves of information appeared in his mind.
Indeed…
After discovering the background of the flying swords, Mo Wen’s lips curled up. He had not expected something like this to show up at the last moment.
Everything happened just as he had expected. The Tower Spirit was constantly maintaining the balance between the humans and the Beast Kings of the Fire Domain. This balance would give the human warriors at least a chance of success. However, it would not allow human warriors absolute confidence in winning the battle.
Of course, the Tower Spirit was involved in them making it so far; however, it was more because of their efforts. If they had not killed the Dragon Beast King and the Peac.o.c.k Beast King, the six flying swords would not have appeared. Should they not have made it here, they would not know that such an object would appear even if they all died.
Mo Wen waved his hand and the six flying swords pointed downwards, floating around him. He sensed the power of the flying swords and his eyes lit up with hope.
“Why are you not attacking immediately?” Mo Wen looked up slowly at the Dragon Horse in the sky. The Dragon Horse could have attacked just now. It did not have to wait for him to level up. With its current powers, it would not be difficult to for the Dragon Horse to break through the Four Guardians Light Shroud. Mo Wen could not understand what the Dragon Horse was thinking as it watched his cultivation levels rise without doing anything.
“Even ants want to survive. I will give you all a chance to struggle. If you die too simply, this game will be boring. Furthermore, “he” would not want you all to die just like that. Who could go against “his” will in this s.p.a.ce?” The Dragon Horse laughed self-deprecatingly and looked up at the vast expanse of sky. There were no victors or losers in this world. They were all just chess pieces.
“I will give you 15 minutes to prepare. Then, I will give my all and will fight to the death. We will be able to tell who lives and dies in the end.” The Dragon Horse slowly closed its eyes. It was prepared to wait for 15 minutes!
“Is there any hope?” Nangong Mingzhu asked. She could only look at Mo Wen helplessly. It has been a long time since she had pinned her hopes on someone else.
“I will do my best.” Mo Wen breathed in deeply, holding the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in his hand.
Nangong Mingzhu’s face paled. Even though Mo Wen had not answered her directly, his words had already told everyone that he could only do his best and could not guarantee anything. She could even hear the worst possible result from Mo Wen’s tone.
The people around them looked at each other and they all fell silent. The joy they had felt from killing the Dragon Beast King and Peac.o.c.k Beast King had disappeared completely.
“This is the last battle and I can’t do anything anymore. This is the only way I can help you.” Nangong Mingzhu sighed and waved her hand. Seven superb-grade Healing lights, five superb-grade Recovery lights, and six semi-finished spiritual talismans appeared before Mo Wen. She was not going to partic.i.p.ate in the next battle. She knew that even if she did partic.i.p.ate in it, she would be killed by the Dragon Horse in mere seconds. She would not be of any help at all.
A flash of blood-red light shone from Nangong Mingzhu’s forehead as her Crimson Moon Demonic Tower appeared. The Crimson Jade Miniature Tower floated above her head, sucking in Nangong Mingzhu’s power. In the blink of an eye, Nangong Mingzhu’s terrifying cultivation level had been sucked dry. Even a warrior in the Sea of Qi Realm could hurt her with a single strike right now.
“Take this.” Nangong Mingzhu waved her hand and the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower flew towards Mo Wen.
Mo Wen reached out to take the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. There was a flash of shock in his eyes. He realized that a stunning power was surging into his body from the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. Furthermore, it did not clash with the power in his body. It changed slightly and transformed into his power.
Nangong Mingzhu’s cultivation had been transferred to him in just a few seconds. Her cultivation was not low. Among the human warriors, Nangong Mingzhu’s cultivation level was the highest after his. This large amount of power all surged into his body, making him feel a little bloated. His power increased by yet another level.
“The Demonic Sky’s Power Transfer Technique.” Chu Yuan’s pupils narrowed. The Power Transfer Technique was a famous secret skill of Demonic Sky. This secret skill could temporarily transfer one’s cultivation to another person. Those with high cultivation levels could even transfer their souls and take over one’s body. It had a similar effect to the secret takeover technique of immortal cultivators.
He had not expected that Nangong Mingzhu had cultivated in this secret technique. It was difficult to master, and, other than its strangeness and mystical effects, it was not very useful usually.
“Chu Yuan, are you still going to hide your things at a time like this? Take out that old fogey Lord Blood Soul’s Ten Thousand Soul Banner.” Nangong Mingzhu looked at Chu Yuan indifferently. Her words gave him a shock.
“How did you know?” Chu Yuan’s face was deathly pale. He had not expected Nangong Mingzhu to know about this. It was his greatest secret and not even his subordinates knew about it. He had always treated it as his last resort. It was such a secret thing, but Nangong Mingzhu knew about it! This was strange. When did Nangong Mingzhu become so powerful?
“You have to believe in the intelligence department of Demonic Sky.” Nangong Mingzhu laughed coldly. Then, she said indifferently, “Hand it over. You have no choice at a time like this, unless you want to die.”
