Chapter 707: Pinnacle Battle
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The aura of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was so terrifying that it immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Its ferocity allowed Mo Wen to reach the Fire Scorpion Beast King. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear glowed silvery-white in his hand, and no other Demonic Beast dared to get close to him.
The Tower Spirit’s ability to create life was amazing. The illusionary beasts even had the intelligence to sense the threat posed by the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear and would be able to avoid danger. This quality meant that the Fire Scorpion Beast King was unable to command the illusionary beasts to send themselves to their death unnecessarily.
“Just what martial arts weapon is that? It’s terrifying!” Tan Qiyue looked at Mo Wen in utter shock. He was dumbstruck. With his cultivation, he could easily be ranked in the top five amongst all ancient martial art practitioners. Out of all of the martial arts grandmasters that had entered the Fire Domain, only he was a second realm grandmaster. The rest were first realm grandmasters. Other than the two Immortal Cultivators, Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan, no one else was stronger than him.
However, at that very moment, Tan Qiyue realized that the spear in Mo Wen’s hand had the ability to kill him. It turned out that killing him was not that difficult a task after all.
“How could he possibly have such a formidable weapon?” Chu Yuan’s expression turned ugly. He had never expected Mo Wen to have such a powerful weapon. By rights, based on resources and the fact that Chu Yuan was an Immortal Cultivator with the support of the Ghost Lair, it should be impossible for him to lose to a mere ancient martial art practitioner.
Chu Yuan had a medium-grade profound level weapon, as well as some even more advanced treasures. However, there was not a single treasure he owned that could compare to the long silver electric spear in Mo Wen’s hand. In fact, he had only rarely seen a treasure of that level.
Chu Yuan’s expression continued to change. He had already been shocked by the news that Mo Wen had three profound level weapons in his possession. Now that he knew of Mo Wen’s Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, he felt that Mo Wen was even more mysterious. As a person of the Ghost Lair, Chu Yuan could not even be certain at this point in time if he could confidently defeat this youth.
Could it be that Mo Wen had some ties to Huatian Palace? Chu Yuan’s gaze trembled. Other than Huatian Palace, no other sect in the ancient martial arts scene could provide a young man with such resources. If Mo Wen’s relations with Huatian Palace ran deep, he would not be surprised at all that Mo Wen had such a treasure.
However, this time, Huatian Palace had not sent any of their people to the Fire Domain. As the main coordinating institution, they did not really care about a small inner world like the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Moreover, even if Huatian Palace had wanted to send someone, they would not have sent a mere youth like Mo Wen.
“A superb-rank profound level weapon! Moreover, it seems to have the charm and power that only a Spiritual Treasure possesses. He actually owns such a treasure!” Nangong Mingzhu’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Mo Wen solemnly. She could sense just how strong the superb-rank profound level weapon was. Moreover, it was definitely not just an average superb-rank profound level weapon.
“Just what kind of person is he, and how is he able to obtain the superb-rank Unsealing Light?” Nangong Mingzhu’s eyes were filled with confusion. With her knowledge, if Mo Wen’s background was completely unknown, it would not be odd for him to own such treasures. However, just what power did he hail from? In the main space, other than Huatian Palace, Ghost Lair, and Demonic Sky, there were not many powers that could have such an influence.
Moreover, going against the Tower Spirit required the superb-rank Unsealing Light to unleash such profound level weapons. Just when had Mo Wen obtained this Unsealing Light?
Gao Hanshan and Jun Wulei shared a glance, their eyes full of fear. They had not expected that Mo Wen would actually possess such items. In particular, Jun Wulei had some understanding of Mo Wen. He knew that Mo Wen did not hail from a prominent power, nor did he have any sort of strong backing. So, how did he have such resources? Could the silver electrifying long spear have something to do with the Ming Clan’s treasures as well?
“How could you be so arrogant?” Nangong Mingzhu let out a light humph. Suddenly, a strong competitive feeling rose within her. All along, Mo Wen’s attitude had been rather lofty. No matter where he was, he would attract the attention of everyone. Initially, she did not think too much of it. However, in the double task, Mo Wen was the only one that had lasted till the end, and this made her feel a little indignant.
Her lips curled up slightly and a black light flew out from her mouth. The light came from a simple ancient bronze mirror that was glowing black. With a point of her finger, the black-colored bronze mirror immediately became a black beam of light. It was a hundred meters in diameter and over a thousand meters long. All the demonic beasts that were touched by the black light were instantly burnt. Without a sound, countless Demonic Beasts had turned into ashes.
With a tremble of the Jade Green Cicada Wings, Nangong Minghu’s figure disappeared. Without a single obstacle to stop her, she was soon just behind Mo Wen and was the second to arrive in front of the Fire Scorpion Beast King.
“Black Flame Mirror!” Chu Yuan’s expression grew solemn as he recognized the spiritual treasure that Nangong Mingzhu possessed. It was the renowned Black Flame Mirror. Although the Black Flame Mirror was only a medium-grade profound level weapon, it was the main spiritual treasure of Nangong Mingzhu and had undergone years of training and development. Its powers were even stronger than Chu Yuan’s Apatite Millstone. When Nangong Mingzhu used it, its power seemed to be comparable to a top-grade profound level weapon.
Chu Yuan’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the two people who had arrived in front of the Fire Domain Beast King before the others. After a moment’s hesitation, he slowly lowered his gaze and went forward to attack.
The Fire Scorpion Beast King shook its body. Immediately, the sky was in chaos. The Beast King looked over at Mo Wen cautiously: it could sense a strong danger emanating from the spear in his hand.
“All you despicable humans have intruded into our Fire Domain. I will kill all of you today.” A murderous gleam flashed in the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s eyes. He looked at Mo Wen, who had reached him first, with particular ferocity.
It was a fight to the death between human ancient martial art practitioners and the Fire Domain Beast King. There were only two possibilities – survival or death. The Tower Spirit had sent out a message telling all Fire Domain Beast Kings that if they were unable to kill off all the human ancient martial art practitioners, they would be the ones dying instead. Out of the two parties, only one side could stay alive.
A red light flashed out from the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s body. In the next moment, a ray of red light collided with Mo Wen. Everything that it touched was rocked into chaos. It was definitely at least twice as strong as the battle strength of a Pinnacle Beast King.
“Fire Domain Beast Kings are indeed as exceptional as the Tower Spirit made you guys out to be. Not only are you twice as strong as an average beast king, it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that you’re ten times stronger.” Mo Wen’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed. The aura that the Fire Scorpion Beast King exuded had already exceeded that of the Pinnacle Beast King by multiple times, and could even be said to have attained a different realm altogether. Although there were still some discrepancies in abilities when compared to a demon, it was already on its way to achieving that level.
With the flash of silver light, the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was unleashed. A flash of lightning appeared on the sharp end of the spear and the red beam of light that had been previously shot out had been eradicated in a single blow.
With Mo Wen’s current Cultivation, his inner Qi was barely sufficient for him to use the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear without draining all of his energy in just one blow. The power of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was astonishing. However, although it was able to eradicate the red light ray as it collided with him, Mo Wen could not stop his body from being thrown back a hundred meters.
Evidently, based on abilities alone, Mo Wen was still not a worthy opponent of the Fire Scorpion Beast King. However, with the aid of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, the difference in their abilities was no longer as vast.
“Go and die, you despicable humans.” The voice of the Fire Scorpion Beast King was slightly muffled as it reverberated through the air. A scorpion’s tail that was five hundred meters tall and tens of meters wide weaved through the air and struck Mo Wen viciously. In the sky, a dark and indistinct figure appeared, making it look as though the sky had been pierced.
There were two rays of light shining in Mo Wen’s eyes, one red and one blue. The next moment, a huge Yin Yang disk appeared in mid-air. Right in the center, two Yin Yang Fishes swam continuously. The huge flying scorpion tail appeared to have encountered some obstacle as its speed decreased drastically.
Mo Wen’s body flashed as he rose and his body lit up with lightning. With the appearance of the Glory of Thunder, multiple lightning bolts as thick as his arms engulfed his entire body and continued to transform his body. A destructive force was emitted and it caused Mo Wen’s aura to double.
Ping!
The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear dissolved into a ray of light as it struck the scorpion tail. A frightening roar of power was delivered onto the scorpion tail and immediately turned it into a bloody mess. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the tail that had been as strong as stone was almost destroyed by Mo Wen.
The Fire Scorpion Beast King flew into a rage. A red light flashed on his giant body and the Yin Yang disk trembled for a moment before dissolving into the air.
The next moment, a shocking sight occurred. The scorpion tail suddenly broke off from the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s body. The huge scorpion tail spun in the air and flashed with a red light. Then, it started to morph into something else. When the red light disappeared, a Blazing Divine Dragon that was 700 meters long and tens of meters wide appeared in the air. It was arched in the sky and had antlers, the eyes of a turtle, the neck of a snake, fish scales, the paws of a tiger, the claws of an eagle, and the ears of a cow. It was just like the divine dragons of legend as it drifted across the sky.
“Demonic Spiritual Treasure!” Mo Wen’s eyes narrowed. The Fire Scorpion Beast King actually possessed a Demonic Spiritual Treasure. Naturally, it could not possibly be an authentic divine dragon. The legendary divine dragon was the ultimate champion, even undefeated by Immortals. It was the ultimate existence of heaven and earth and it seemed to exist in myths. It was difficult to find this type of divine presence in the world of Immortal Cultivators, let alone the world of humans.
The Blazing Divine Dragon in the sky was formed from the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s Demonic Spiritual Treasure. It was simply able to imitate the structure of a divine dragon. The power of the Demonic Spiritual Treasure was very strong indeed.
The Fire Scorpion Beast King had not even possessed a Demonic Spiritual Treasure up until now. It was obvious that the Tower Spirit not only increased the Cultivation of the Fire Domain Beast King but also increased its all-round abilities.
The Blazing Divine Dragon shook for an instant before letting out Cries of Dragon. Then, it lunged straight at Mo Wen. The Blazing Divine Dragon whipped its tail ferociously and appeared very vicious as it approached him.
“This beast is actually powerful. It is obviously out to get all of us regardless.” Mo Wen’s expression changed slightly. The Tower Spirit had increased the Fire Domain Beast King’s abilities by a large extent. It was almost corrupt. The Fire Domain Beast King was thought to be the least powerful of the Seven Major Beast Kings. If it was this strong, just how powerful were the others?
Mo Wen knew that amongst the Seven Major Beast Kings, the strongest was not the Peacock Beast King or the Dragon Beast King. Instead, it was a mysterious beast that had long infiltrated the Fighting Spirit Tower, and it had never appeared before.
