Chapter 683: Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The crimson light formed by the Demonic Spiritual Treasure did not have any attack power, but it was extraordinarily powerful. It pushed Mo Wen back by more than a thousand meters before he managed to stabilize himself.
A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. If the power had been used to attack him, he most likely would have been severely injured or knocked unconscious. He could even have been killed instantly.
Howl!
The snake type Beast King let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. Its body that was frozen in the magma frenziedly shook, turning the frozen dark brown substance to dust. A gale of emotion was released by the snake type Beast King. It seemed that it wanted to drill a hole in the sky before it.
Howl! Howl!
The snake type Beast King’s eyes were crimson. Its frenzied actions made it clear that it was as annoyed as it possibly could be. Blood was pouring out of the five finger holes clearly visible on its head.
On the wound, masses of crimson flames were burning. The crimson light that had been there before had now completely disappeared. The blood colored lines on its body had all dimmed down, seemingly having lost their power.
“My demonic treasure… my demonic treasure… damn you human. I’m going to kill you… I am going to tear you to shreds and eat you up…”
The snake type Beast King was completely enraged. Its huge figure suddenly flew out from the magma ocean. It ferociously pounced forward.
The surging waters of the Chang Jiang River could not wash away the hate in its eyes. The Demonic Spiritual Treasure that it had cultivated over eight hundred years had been destroyed in an instant. It also could no longer cultivate it again, meaning that it had completely lost the chance of obtaining a Demonic Spiritual Treasure.
Mo Wen’s face was cold as he stood quietly in mid-air, looking at the snake type Beast King pouncing towards him. He retrieved a medium grade Recovery Light from the medicine spiritual ring. This Recovery Light could cause a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner to instantly recover all their Inner Qi.
Although before this, he had only attacked twice, he had gone all out both times. He had already expended ninety percent of his Inner Qi. If he was in a normal situation, he would not be able to kill the snake type Beast King. He would only be able to escape because he would not have enough Inner Qi to sustain him as he continued attacking.
But it was different now. In this space, with the medium grade Recovery Light, he could recover all the Inner Qi he expended.
The reason that he had confidence in his ability to kill a Beast King was largely due to the Recovery Lights. If he did not have them, he would not have such confidence.
A blue light enveloped his body. His aura instantly recovered. In an instant, his Inner Qi had all completely returned.
Mo Wen, after recovering to his peak, once again emanated an astonishing aura. He unleashed the Glory of Thunder without hesitation. At this moment, Mo Wen did not feel bad about using up his Inner Qi at all. Against a Beast King, if he was the slightest bit careless, he would very likely pay a painful price.
On top of the head of the snake type Beast King, crimson flames kept burning. It was the residue of the demonic power left behind by the Blood-Clotting Claw’s previous attack. Before this, a Lord monstrous beast had been injured by the Blood-Clotting Claw and then burned to a shriveled corpse by the crimson flame.
This time, however, the crimson flames were slowly being extinguished by the power of the Beast King. The seemingly difficult to deal with crimson flames were clearly not inextinguishable. It was just that the power of a Lord monstrous beast was still not enough to do so. A Beast King could completely extinguish the crimson flames using its enormous power.
As expected, the crimson flames on the snakehead became smaller and finally completely disappeared. However, the crimson flames also quickly burned away quite a bit of the snake type Beast King’s life force. It caused the snake type Beast King’s energy to wilt.
“You despicable human. I am going to eat you… eat you…”
The snake type Beast King frenziedly pounced on Mo Wen. Flames enveloped it. It traversed the sky, leaving a trail of red, like a burning cloud.
When the power of the snake type Beast King was activated to its utmost limit, a huge illusion appeared in mid-air. It was a huge mountain-like snakehead. The snakehead was that of a classic king cobra, ferocious and majestic.
The huge mountain-like snakehead was like a mirage, as though it was formed from cold mist. However, the snake type Beast King’s eyes flashed with a breathtaking, enchanting red glow.
Mo Wen looked into the snake’s eyes and instantly felt his mind sink. His body turned cold. A stiffening sensation spread throughout his entire body. Mo Wen felt his blood vessels freeze solid, as though he was under a petrification demonic art and his body was turning into stone.
“An Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit!” Mo Wen drew a cold breath, as he looked in astonishment at the huge mountain-like snakehead. There was actually so much more to this snake type Beast King than met the eye. It was a Beast King that had an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit bloodline heritage.
The so-called Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit was a mysterious power that only existed among the Devil Clan. This power could only be inherited through bloodlines, passing endlessly from the ancestral devil to the future generations of the Devil Clan.
Rumor had it that in ancient times, there had been an earth-shattering Devil Clan with an exceedingly high cultivation. They had conquered heaven and earth and dominated the world in ancient times. This Devil Clan had cultivated to the very limits and had been able to coalesce a sacred spirit. The sacred spirit not only embodied the Devil Clan’s own cultivation. It could also empower their descendants, passing on this power through their bloodline heritage.
Among the Devil Clan, there were extraordinary or peculiar bloodlines that could coalesce an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit when the power of their Qi and blood were activated to the limit. Whatever form their ancestral devil took, so did the sacred spirit that they coalesced.
Mo Wen had not expected that this snake type monstrous beast could actually also coalesce an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit. Clearly, an earth-shatteringly strong monster had appeared among its ancestors at some point in the past.
It was surprising that a mere monstrous beast that was not a demon could actually coalesce an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit. It could be seen that this snake type Beast King was highly talented.
Even for some of the Devil Clan, if their ancestral devil was too ancient, or their bloodline heritage was not pure enough, they would most likely be unable to coalesce an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit. The chances of them of being able to coalesce an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit were very slim for some ancient absolute Devil Clan sacred spirits.
The shorter the amount of time since the sacred spirit bloodline heritage had been inherited was, the purer the bloodline heritage would be and the more powerful the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit coalesced would be. In the Devil realm, there were even some living Devil Clan sacred spirits. The Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirits that their descendants could coalesce would be extremely powerful. This type of race was regarded as royalty among the Devil Clan.
Of course, there were strong and weak Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirits. It wasn’t necessarily the case that the shorter the time of inheritance that the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit would absolutely be more powerful. For absolute sacred spirits that defied the laws of Heaven in ancient times, even up until the present day, their descendants could still coalesce powerful Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirits.
The snake type Beast King was but a Beast King. It naturally could not compare to a Devil Clan’s Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit. However, for a human ancient martial art practitioner, the threat it posed was rather astonishing.
“F*ck.”
Feeling the terror of the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit, Mo Wen couldn’t help but curse. His body was stiffening. He could not dissipate the numbing sensation no matter how hard he tried. The power had already exceeded his level. It was not a difference that could be solved with numbers, but rather it was a difference in the laws of power and essence.
Mo Wen knew that with his cultivation, being able to completely counter the influence that the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit had on him was an almost impossible feat.
Right now, he had a sudden urge to curse the Tower Spirit. Asking a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner like him to go against a Beast King was unfair. He was also facing a Beast King that could coalesce an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit.
This Beast King’s cultivation was average. It could be said that it barely reached the level of a Beast King. It was far from being comparable to the Dragon Beast King and the Peacock Beast King. However, the talent of this Beast King was truly terrifying. It had a Demonic Spiritual Treasure and also an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit.
Sending out such a monster, wasn’t that just bullying?
Mo Wen made the decision not to use his power to block the interference of the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit. Blocking it was simply a waste of effort. However, the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit was just a sacred spirit coalesced by the snake type Beast King. It was impossible for it to truly petrify him. At most, it could affect his body a bit.
The snake type Beast King moved angrily towards Mo Wen. Being unable to move freely, Mo Wen knew that the chances of him evading the snake type Beast King’s attack were low. He simply did not evade or dodge. With a touch of the Cries of Hades Bell, he once again released a soul attack.
The snake type Beast King obviously could not block the Cries of Hades Bell’s attack. Even if it was mentally prepared beforehand, it still hesitated for a moment, its entire huge figure pausing in mid-air. Although it was just an instant of sluggishness, the attack that the snake type Beast King had built up for a while was completely interrupted by the momentary interruption.
However, regrettably, the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit was a power activated through bloodline heritage. It could not be stopped at all. Mo Wen’s movements could not be recovered, so he only had a small area of movements he could make. His movements being restricted meant it was not quite possible for him to be able to suddenly appear before the snake type Beast King and attack it.
Mo Wen sighed. Being unable to approach and attack, he was unable to completely utilize his advantage.
He pointed forwards and Yin Qi surged. The Tai Yin Claws suddenly appeared before the snake type Beast King, furiously clawing downwards.
The flesh of the Beast King was astonishing. The Tai Yin Claws merely drew out a few shallow claw marks on the Beast King’s body. They shattered a few scales but did not do any serious damage.
Roar!
The snake type Beast King responded after the attack from the Cries of Hades Bell. When it discovered that it was injured again, it was even more enraged. It once again frenziedly pounced towards Mo Wen.
Mo Wen frowned. He exercised his stiffened body and then retrieved the Sacred Flame Sword from the medicine spiritual ring. With the longsword in one hand and the Blood-Clotting Claw in the other, he waited for the snake type Beast King to approach.
With his body’s current condition, it was difficult for him to even unleash the Glory of Wind. He might actually have to fight the snake type Beast King to the death.
Mo Wen felt a chill down his spine at the thought of fighting a Beast King. However, he had no other choice.
A golden light shone out from Mo Wen’s body. The golden light was the one he had used previously. He was like a shining sun, shining golden light. But among the golden light, there was a jade-like luster that was not there before.
The Indestructible Body of Vajrapani!
After Mo Wen practiced the Nine Yang Divine Technique to the eighth level, the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani also reached the eighth level. The eighth level Indestructible Body of Vajrapani still had a bright golden body, but on the surface, there was an additional jade-like luster. It gave off a sleek feeling.
Without a doubt, the current Indestructible Body of Vajrapani was ten times more powerful than before.
However, just as Mo Wen was preparing to unleash all his power to fight the snake type Beast King, the Primordial Soul Pearl that was still emanating a pale green glow in his declarative memory suddenly shook.
