Chapter 713: Crimson Jade Miniature Tower

“It’s been a while since I’ve fought so hard. I would really like to know how powerful the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings actually are.”
Tan Qiyue slowly drew out a longsword. Its cold light was like water and it emanated a formless pressure. It was a low-grade profound level weapon and seemed of the type that had been custom-made for ancient martial art practitioners. This type of profound level weapon was rare. After all, only immortal cultivators could manufacture profound level weapons. Most immortal cultivators manufactured profound level weapons suitable only for themselves. They would not personally manufacture such a high-level treasure for an ancient martial art practitioner.
Of course, there were such cases, but they were rare. For example, some high-level immortal cultivators left behind descendants without spiritual roots. They could not walk the Way of Immortals and could only travel the path of martial arts. These immortal cultivators would then manufacture a profound level weapon, at a high cost, to give to their descendants.
This sort of situation was considered a rarity. The longsword in Tan Qiyue’s hand did not seem to be the flying sword of immortal cultivators. It more closely resembled an ancient martial art practitioner’s ancient sword.
A blue light flashed and Tan Qiyue disappeared from his spot. Right now, his cultivation already surpassed the ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm. There was not much difference between his power and that of Nangong Mingzhu. He had previously reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm. Among the Martial Arts Grandmasters here, he was at the very top. The strength of his combat ability could not be underestimated once it was unleashed.
“This time, everyone who is able must contribute to fighting against the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings,” the Ming Temple’s Second Sect Grand Elder said. “Otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable. All of you take care of yourself. Stay alive. I will go and check out the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings.”
He disappeared from his original spot, dashing towards the sea of Beast Kings. Right now, his cultivation had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm. He was one of the strongest of the human ancient martial art practitioners.
Granny Jin Hua glanced at her granddaughter. “Ying’er, take care of yourself. I have ordered a few sect elders to protect you. Remember, regardless of the situation, the most important thing is to stay alive.” Granny Jin Hua dove into the sea of Beast Kings with a flash of golden light.
As well as Granny Jin Hua and Wang Changhan, all of the human ancient martial art practitioners who had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm came forward to fight. They knew that if they did not kill the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings, everyone would die.
Among the sea of Beast Kings, thunder and lightning flashed. A silhouette adorned with flickering thunderbolts traversed continuously through the sea of Beast Kings. No monstrous beasts could stop him. It was none other than Mo Wen. No Beast Kings, not even the Pinnacle Beast Kings, could pose a threat to him anymore.
It only took a short while for Mo Wen to venture through the sea of Beast Kings. He appeared in front of the Giant Crocodile Beast King. With a snap of his fingers, the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared in his hands.
“Huh?”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King adjusted its posture and stared at Mo Wen in surprise. It was amazed to discover that the first person to venture through the sea of Beast Kings was actually a youth. Moreover, the person was Mo Wen.
Its impression of Mo Wen had always been that this youth had extraordinary talents and would achieve a great deal in the future, although his achievements would be unpredictable. The youth’s cultivation was not that high, yet he was cunning and hard to kill.
In terms of cultivation and ability, it was likely that there were many human ancient martial art practitioners who were stronger than Mo Wen. Therefore, the Giant Crocodile Beast King had never expected that the first person who ventured through the sea of Beast Kings would be him. Furthermore, the youth had actually dared to appear in front of the Beast King alone and seemed ready to fight it head-on.
“Are you here to seek death?” the Giant Crocodile Beast King asked.
If the Giant Crocodile Beast KingIt had been in Mo Wen’s position, it would have hidden among the crowd in the first instance and let the others do the hard work instead of putting itself in so much danger.
Mo Wen shook his head. “No. I am here to kill you.”
“It seems like you are very confident about yourself. Your confidence has reached the point of blind faith. You are indeed very strong. I have not expected you to improve to this extent. However, you are still not strong enough to face me. You are far from strong enough. Among the human ancient martial art practitioners, there are at least ten people who have similar cultivation to you. However, there are only three or four people who can threaten me.”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King laughed coldly. It could sense that Mo Wen had a rather frightening aura on him. His cultivation could surpass that of an ordinary Pinnacle Beast King. Earlier on, this level of cultivation would have been enough to make it panic-stricken, turn tail and run. But right now, it did not even bat an eyelid.
“Huh? Something is off! You have the aura of the Fire Scorpion Beast King on you…”
Suddenly, the Giant Crocodile Beast King seemed to have sensed something. Its facial expression changed slightly. Its big eyes stared closely at Mo Wen. It was because it had sensed the spiritual aura of the Fire Scorpion Beast King on Mo Wen’s body. That kind of aura could only appear on another person’s body under one condition.
“Could it be… You have killed the Fire Scorpion Beast King?”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King looked at Mo Wen in shock. Mo Wen could only have the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s spiritual aura on him if he had killed the Beast King. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, such a thing would not happen. Before a creature died, there would be large fluctuations with its soul. There would be deeply negative emotions. The hardest one to deal with was hatred. It could envelop the one who killed it for a long time without dissipating.
This was why when looking at those who enjoyed killing or had killed many people, a sense of fear would naturally well up. Such people were enveloped by hatred and others could subconsciously sense danger from these sorts of people.
Mo Wen had the spiritual hatred of the Fire Scorpion Beast King on him. Could it be that the Fire Scorpion Beast King had died at the hands of Mo Wen?
How was this possible?
The Giant Crocodile Beast King was somewhat dumbfounded. It had only been a few days since they last met. Could it be that this youth had already obtained enough power to kill a Fire Domain’s Beast King, which was almost on par with the Giant Crocodile Beast King?
“Your senses are rather sharp,” Mo Wen said plainly. Perhaps only the Giant Crocodile Beast King, who had been in contact with the Fire Scorpion Beast King for a long period of time, could identify that the spiritual hatred on his body belonged to the Fire Scorpion Beast King.
“You humans have a saying: a man can turn over a new leaf in just three days. I have never expected to encounter such a situation.”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King frowned slightly, its facial expression turning serious for the first time. Even if Mo Wen got lucky, to be able to kill the Fire Scorpion Beast King was enough to prove that Mo Wen was no ordinary warrior. Even though the Giant Crocodile Beast King was stronger than the Fire Scorpion Beast King, there was not much difference in their power.
A black light flashed and Nangong Mingzhu appeared near Mo Wen. She shot him a glance and gently snorted.
Mo Wen was actually the first to enter the sea of Beast Kings again. This made Nangong Mingzhu feel somewhat helpless. No matter whether it was intentional or otherwise, she seemed to have never been able to win against this youth.
“You and I will join forces and kill this giant crocodile first. Then, we will kill that wild bull. How about it?” Nangong Mingzhu asked.
Of the two Fire Domain’s Beast Kings, this Giant Crocodile Beast King was obviously stronger than the Fire Bull Beast King. Joining forces to first kill the Giant Crocodile Beast King, and then deal with the Fire Bull Beast King later would certainly be much easier.
“Alright.” Mo Wen gently nodded his head. He was not certain that he could kill the Giant Crocodile Beast King alone. He was very happy to accept help.
Since he and Nangong Mingzhu had decided to join forces to fight against the Giant Crocodile Beast King, then surely Chu Yuan, Tan Qiyue and the rest would handle the Fire Bull Beast King. Mo Wen did not know whether they could kill the Fire Bull Beast King, but it should not be a problem for them to keep it busy.
“You are thinking of killing me with just the two of you?”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King coldly laughed. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and a fireball appeared in it. The next moment, the surrounding temperature rose frenziedly. The whole place felt like a furnace. The terrifying high temperature went beyond the point where it could melt steel. The heat would most likely be able to melt even a spiritual weapon.
Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu instantly felt uncomfortable. This temperature was too frightening. It was even more frightening than Mo Wen’s Fire of Nine Yang.
When Mo Wen had first encountered the Giant Crocodile Beast King, it had used this flame to nearly kill him. At that time, he had the Dark Soul Pearl, so he was not affected by the flame. Now that the Dark Soul Pearl had been completely sealed, he could not use it at all.
However, with Mo Wen’s current cultivation, the temperature of this sort of flame was not enough to affect him too much.
A black light flashed on his body. In an instant, a Cold Qi swept through, immediately halving the surrounding temperature. With Mo Wen’s current cultivation, the Nine Yin Cold Qi he unleashed was already at a level that could instantly freeze Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioners solid. Compared to before, it was more than ten times stronger.
Even Nangong Mingzhu, who was standing near Mo Wen, was affected by it. She felt the temperature of the surroundings decrease greatly.
A crimson light flashed and suddenly an exquisite miniature tower appeared in Nangong Mingzhu’s hands. The miniature tower was only a foot tall. It had nine floors and the whole tower was flaming red in color. The tower looked like it had been carved from a piece of Blood Jade.
As soon as the crimson tower appeared, Mo Wen’s facial expression shifted slightly. He could sense an astonishing power from the crimson tower. The power was actually enough to threaten his life.
A superb grade profound level weapon!
Mo Wen drew a deep breath. There was actually a superb grade profound level weapon in Nangong Mingzhu’s hand! He finally understood why Nangong Mingzhu had wanted to exchange a superb grade Unsealing Light with him. It must have been to unseal this crimson tower.
Even the Giant Crocodile Beast King was shocked. Its entire huge figure shook uneasily. Its large eyes were full of caution as it stared at the crimson tower in Nangong Mingzhu’s hand. Even with its current cultivation, it could not ignore the threat of such an absolute treasure.
Roar! Roar!
The Giant Crocodile Beast King felt a strong sense of danger and did not dare to wait any longer. The large fireball in its mouth flew out. It transformed into a flame spear, furiously flying towards Nangong Mingzhu.
The flame spear burned with flames. It was far more terrifying than the ever-present heat. Everywhere it passed, formless flames twisted, seemingly setting the space ablaze.
“Buy me some time.”
Nangong Mingzhu glanced at Mo Wen. Then, she lowered her gaze and black lights emanated from her body. The black lights gushed continuously into the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower. At the same time, she flew up and her hands formed mysterious ritualistic gestures one after another. After each ritualistic gesture ended, a rune would fly out and melt into the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower.
Mo Wen did not say anymore. He did not need to ask anything. Lightning flashed and he appeared before Nangong Mingzhu, shielding her behind him.
A bolt of lightning flashed in his hand. The next moment, the thirty-foot long Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared. Once the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared, lightning flashed and thunder roared. A mass of thunderclouds gathered in mid-air. Large amounts of lightning frenziedly danced around. A destructive aura emanated from the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, seemingly about to destroy the world.
