In terms of attack power, the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was probably more frightening than the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower in Nangong Mingzhu’s hand. A destructive aura was released by the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. All around, thunder roared and lightning flashed.
The Giant Crocodile Beast King was so scared that its expression changed drastically. Its gigantic body twisted fearfully. It had not expected that Mo Wen would also have such a terrifying weapon. From the mysterious spear, it could sense waves of aura which were powerful enough to destroy it.
Silver light flashed. An image of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared in mid-air. The image was two hundred meters long. It crashed straight into the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s fireball. A huge rumble sounded and the fireball was shattered into pieces.
Mo Wen’s figure shook as he was sent back tens of meters. Heat surged into his body from the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, nearly cooking him alive. The Giant Crocodile Beast King’s fireball was frighteningly powerful. It had passed through the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear and crash into his body.
A black light flickered and an immeasurable Cold Qi was released from Mo Wen’s body. In an instant, within a radius of a hundred meters, snow descended from the sky and covered the ground, freezing it with a layer of ice crystals. A few Beast Kings that were close to him were frozen into ice sculptures, dying meaningless deaths.
The Flame Qi and the Cold Qi from Mo Wen’s body collided, gradually canceling each other out.
With Mo Wen’s Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm cultivation, he could freeze nearly everything by unleashing the Nine Yin Cold Qi. He certainly was much more frightening than a cold attribute Pinnacle Beast King.
“Such formidable Cold Qi.” The Giant Crocodile Beast King stared at Mo Wen in shock. It had thought that, even if Mo Wen could block its fireball, the high temperature of the fireball would burn him to death. After all, the greatest strength of its attack was the fireball’s high temperature. To its surprise, the human youth could actually produce Cold Qi to counter the high temperature.
Nangong Mingzhu’s eyes were closed and she held a magical seal in her hand. Runes flew out from the magical seal and melted into the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower. The Crimson Jade Miniature Tower emanated a faint crimson glow. Even though the glow was not dazzling, it covered a large area. Everywhere within the radius of a thousand meters was bathed in the crimson light.
Waves of unique aura were emanated continuously from the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower.
At the same time, a few human ancient martial art practitioners, led by Chu Yuan and Tan Qiyue, had engaged the Fire Bull Beast King in battle. They did not join in the battle against the Giant Crocodile Beast King when they saw Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu were joining forces to fight against it. Instead, they chose to hold back the Fire Bull Beast King.
After all, everyone knew that the combat ability of Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu was equivalent to that of all of them combined.
The Giant Crocodile Beast King felt a stronger sense of danger well up in its heart. Originally, it had thought that it could easily defeat these human ancient martial art practitioners, whose cultivation was far below its own. But now, it did not dare to drag the battle out and wanted it to be over as quickly as possible. The power of Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu was enough to make it feel threatened. It finally understood why the Fire Snake King and the Fire Scorpion Beast King had been defeated at the hands of these human ancient martial art practitioners. They may not have high cultivation, but their potential was extremely powerful.
“You won’t get a chance. Die!”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King raised its head and roared at the sky. Wave after wave of terrifying aura emanated from its body. The next moment, a bloody spine rose from its back. The Giant Crocodile Beast King’s face revealed a slight look of pain. After its spine was completely removed from its body, it shook slightly and all of the blood that had been spilled was sent flying. A huge pure-white spine floated above the head of the Giant Crocodile Beast King. It emanated a warm glow.
The spine was a thousand meters long. It was like a chain that spread out across the sky. The Giant Crocodile Beast King’s aura instantly reduced. It showed signs of exhaustion. It seemed as though it had paid a high price to separate the spine from its body.
Mo Wen’s expression turned serious. His body lit up with golden light as he instantly became a golden man, the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani being activated to its limit. At the same time, the illusionary mountains profound level weapon appeared and the mountains that it created enveloped his body. Mo Wen felt a frightening danger from the pure white spine. Even the Fire Scorpion Beast King had not given him such a sense of danger.
Nangong Mingzhu seemed to have sensed something too. Her facial expression tensed. Her eyelashes quivered. However, she still did not open her eyes. She continued to recite various rhymes and as she did so, her speed suddenly drastically increased.
There was a large difference between immortal cultivators and ancient martial art practitioners. Not only were their sources of power different, but there were also large differences in how they used magical treasures. For instance, ancient martial art practitioners could channel their power to simply activate the power of the magical treasure.
However, some high-rank magical treasures were embedded with immortal rhymed formulas when they were being manufactured. In conjunction with these immortal rhymed formulas, one could unleash an unimaginable power. For instance, Nangong Mingzhu’s Crimson Jade Miniature Tower was embedded with some sort of magical, remarkable power. This power could only be released by an immortal cultivator who practiced the corresponding rhymed formulas. No matter how powerful the ancient martial art practitioner was, it was absolutely impossible for them to unleash this sort of power.
Right now, Nangong Mingzhu was fully activating the remarkable power contained within the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower. Once she finished, the power that would be released would very likely far surpass that of Mo Wen’s Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.
This was one reason why the Giant Crocodile Beast King felt more and more anxious. It did not dare to wait for Nangong Mingzhu to completely unleash the power.
“I did not expect that you would force me to unleash my Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure so soon! Die! You will absolutely not get a chance to make a comeback.”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King roared angrily. The thousand-meter long spine that floated over its body suddenly released a brilliant white light. At the same time, one by one, ancient runes surged out of the white bone. As more and more runes surged out, the white bone gradually dimmed. It seemed to have dissolved into those runes. In the sky above, a thousand-meter long chain of runes appeared.
“It is actually an Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure!”
Mo Wen drew a cold breath. His facial expression was extremely serious. The Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure was also a type of Demonic Spiritual Treasure, but it was a very unique type. This type of Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure usually required both Devil Bone Runes and a Demonic Spiritual Treasure to activate it. Only members of the Devil Clan whose skeletons were part of their Demonic Spiritual Treasure would have them.
Simply put, it was the combination of the Devil Bone Runes and the Demonic Spiritual Treasure.
Even among the demon realm’s Devil Clan, this sort of talent was very rare. After all, members who were equipped with both Devil Bone Runes and Demonic Spiritual Treasures were few, even among the Devil Clan. Moreover, they had to take a risk and make their own skeletons part of the Demonic Spiritual Treasure.
Making their own skeletons part of the Demonic Spiritual Treasure was ten times riskier than the Peacock Beast King turning its feathers into its Demonic Spiritual Treasure. If a problem arose, they would very likely end up crippling themselves.
Of course, this type of Demonic Spiritual Treasure was extremely powerful and far surpassed the might of ordinary Demonic Spiritual Treasures.
Mo Wen had not expected that a mere monstrous beast like the Giant Crocodile Beast King, who was not a member of the Devil Clan, would have the rare Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure. In order to face the human ancient martial art practitioners, the Tower Spirit was truly vicious.
Swoosh!
The shining Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure became a long whip. It furiously struck at Mo Wen. In the blink of an eye, it traversed the heavens and the earth, appearing before him.
Mo Wen did not dare to be careless. He fully activated the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. A five hundred meter long image of the Divine Spear collided with the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure. A huge rumble sounded. The image of the Divine Spear, which had always been successful, shattered with a loud crash. The Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure directly penetrated it and continued crashing towards Mo Wen’s figure.
Mo Wen narrowed his gaze. Both his hands suddenly became countless illusions, followed by beams of starlight overflowing from his body. In an instant, he had become a nebula. The Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure struck downwards, colliding with the nebula. It seemed as though the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure crashed into the nebula and then continued forward. However, those who were looking carefully would have noticed that the speed of the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure was greatly reduced by the collision.
Rumble!
Passing through the nebula, the thousand meter long Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure collided with the illusionary mountains. A rumble that shook the heavens and the earth sounded. The illusionary mountains shook violently and were unable to block the power of the attack, dissipating bit by bit.
Mo Wen’s figure was finally completely exposed. The thousand meter long Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure moved closer to him, heading straight for Mo Wen.
A huge gale swept through the air beside Mo Wen. The next moment, his silhouette became a blur. Just as he prepared to unleash the Glory of Wind to escape, a large number of ancient runes suddenly surged out from the thousand meter long Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure. These runes linked together, forming a cage. Mo Wen’s figure crashed into the rune cage. A huge force surged out, sending him bouncing back.
Mo Wen laughed bitterly. The Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure deserved to be famous in the demon realm. As expected, it was frightening!
Unable to dodge or escape, Mo Wen could only gather all his strength. He sent out two punches that furiously crashed towards the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure. He only hoped that, after being weakening and with his current strength not as high as he would like, he would be able to withstand the attack from the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure. Otherwise, he would be instantly crushed and killed.
“Tiny creature, die.”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King coldly laughed. Realizing that Mo Wen was be killed by its Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure, it had a look of pleasure in its eyes. Mo Wen had forced it to endure pain and suffering and had even made it unleash its Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure. The Giant Crocodile Beast King did not believe that it would fail to kill this human youth. No matter how many tricks this sly human had, before absolute power, all was futile.
Rumble! Suddenly, the roar of dragons and tigers could be heard. Mo Wen activated the Dragon Tiger Overlord Fist, using brute force to take the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure head on. A huge rumble sounded. Mo Wen’s arms shattered inch by inch. The frightening power directly turned his bones into dust. The spine whip continued crashing into him, furiously smashing into Mo Wen’s chest and sending him flying backward. A basin sized hole appeared in Mo Wen’s chest, penetrating cleanly through his body. Even the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani was not enough to block the penetrating power of the spine.
The power of the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure was immense. Not only was it already powerful, but, in order to unleash it, the Giant Crocodile Beast King would need to use up half of its Qi and blood. This attack was its blow that would surely deliver a kill.
A silhouette shot across the sky, flying far into the distance. Large amounts of fresh blood rained down from the sky.
In the sea of Beast Kings below, cries of astonishment could be heard one after another. A few human ancient martial art practitioners that were battling the Beast Kings frantically looked up at the sky, looking towards the fragmented silhouette.
“He lost. How is this possible?”
Pei Fengwu looked at the sky, stunned. In an instant, her face turned pale.
