Mo Wen’s body fell from the sky. Many people noticed him right away. All of them stared at him frantically. They were stunned.
Nobody had expected that Mo Wen, who had always been brave and formidable and who had killed the Fire Scorpion Beast King, would be so roundly defeated by the Giant Crocodile Beast King.
Just looking at such a degree of injury was frightening. If it were any other time, right now, he most likely would have already been a dead man. Such injuries would be difficult for even a top grade Healing Light to heal. Moreover, even if he was cured, the fact that he was no match for the Giant Crocodile Beast King still remained. Battling it again would most likely end the same way.
It had been less than a minute since the battle had begun and already Mo Wen, who was their main warrior, had been severely injured. Many felt a looming sense of crisis. Could it be that they couldn’t even pass the second stage?
Some people who had slightly lower cultivation had faces that were as white as a sheet. They could not hope to change the result at all. They could only hope that the other human ancient martial art practitioners could defeat the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings. Now that the person that they had placed all their faith in had fallen, their confidence was shattered.
“He certainly has a superb grade Healing Light on him. He has not lost yet. All this while, he has never lost. How could he possibly lose now?”
Pei Fengwu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Once she remembered that, since they first met, Mo Wen had never lost and that he had performed miracles time and time again, her heart calmed down slightly. Only a superb grade Healing Light could resurrect Mo Wen once more.
“He will not lose. Just being defeated once won’t determine anything at all. This space has a rather fair set of rules. Although the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings are very powerful, the human ancient martial art practitioners also have their ways of surviving. With a superb grade Healing Light, he will not die. As long as he is not dead, there is always a chance.”
Jin Ying bit her lip. Her face was slightly pale, but she said this to comfort the few human ancient martial art practitioners around her. She knew that if more than half of the human ancient martial art practitioners lost confidence and fear grew in their hearts, then the emotional torment would cause many of them to die.
“You must hold on to the end. You cannot die.”
Jun Wulei clenched his fist tightly, laughing bitterly in silence. He had just found the hope that could cause his clan to rise again after so many years of difficulty. He could not let it be all buried here in this Fighting Spirit Tower. Right now, many people were most likely having regrets. If they knew that they would encounter such a thing in the Fighting Spirit Tower, no matter how attractive the spiritual fire was, most likely no one would have risked their lives to come here.
The Giant Crocodile Beast King had an excited and somewhat shocked expression. The youthful human ancient martial art practitioner had managed to withstand the all-out attack from the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure and wasn’t completely turned to dust!
Although along the way, after passing through layers of obstacles, the power of the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure had been greatly reduced, the final power that collided with Mo Wen’s body was enough to instantly turn a Pinnacle Beast King to dust. Could it be that his human body was actually more powerful than a Pinnacle Beast King?
The Giant Crocodile Beast King felt that such a thing was not quite possible. Wouldn’t that mean that this puny human, under normal conditions, had a body of flesh more powerful than its own?
However, although it was shocked that the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure had not completely turned this human youth to dust, it also believed that he had absolutely no chance of surviving.
Mo Wen felt his body fly across the sky. A look of pain flashed past his face. If it was a normal attack, even if his body had a large hole in it, with his willpower, it was impossible for him to show pain on his face. But the attack from the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure was very different. Not only had it punched a large hole in his body, but a terrifying destructive power was also surging through him, destroying his undamaged organs and tissues.
If he did not force the destructive power out of his body and heal himself in time, he most likely would not last for much longer before his body completely collapsed.
He sighed. The power of the Giant Crocodile Beast King right now had completely surpassed the level of demonic beasts. It was almost equivalent to half a member of the Demon Clan.
A red crystal flowed out of Mo Wen’s body. The next moment, beams of brilliant red light enveloped his figure. His wounds healed at a speed that the naked eye could see. In the blink of an eye, his arms regrew and the huge hole in his body was completely healed. New flesh, fair and soft like baby skin, covered the wounds. There was no trace of any injuries left.
Under the shine of the brilliant red lights, the destructive power in Mo Wen’s body gradually melted away. It was as though the snow had met the sun. The destructive power eventually disappeared completely.
Mo Wen stopped his body from falling and he slowly stood in mid-air. Most of his clothes had been destroyed. However, with a flash of golden light, his body was covered with a layer of golden light armor. It looked like clothes, and at the same time, it looked like a suit of armor as well.
With his current abilities, Mo Wen could utilize his deep and profound cultivation to materialize his power, creating some clothes. Not only could the clothes cover his body, but they also had great defensive abilities as well.
His mind shifted slightly, and an instant later, the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear and medicine spiritual ring that had also been sent flying appeared before him.
The medicine spiritual ring spun and then actively adorned itself on his finger. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear floated before him, releasing bolts of brilliant lightning.
“You… you… how is this possible?”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. It was stunned for an instant. Its dumb expression made it seem as if it had seen a ghost.
What was happening?
How could a person who was at death’s door possibly recover as though nothing had happened in an instant? He had even been able to reach his peak condition! It was likely that even eating the legendary panacea would not bring about such an effect!
Question after question welled up in the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s mind. No matter how long it thought about it, it could not comprehend how such a bizarre scene had played out before it.
The Fire Domain’s Seven Major Beast Kings knew that their final enemies were all the human ancient martial art practitioners, but they did not know what support the human ancient martial art practitioners had as a vulnerable group. If they had known from the start about the existence of the Healing Lights and Recovery Lights, they most likely would not have had such an optimistic outlook.
“How did you do it?”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King was sullen. Against a person that could not die, how could it continue this battle?
“I did it just like that. You are truly ignorant. Did you think that the Tower Spirit only gave you limitless cultivation and simply left all the human ancient martial art practitioners to rot?”
Mo Wen stepped onto empty air. His silhouette appeared before the Giant Crocodile Beast King in a flash. Upon seeing that Mo Wen had recovered, the human ancient martial art practitioners each breathed a sigh of relief. They calmed down. Although their cultivation was no match for these Fire Domain’s Beast Kings, they had their own support.
When battling against the Beast Kings in the sea of Beast Kings, they were not necessarily more powerful than the Beast Kings. But because of the existence of the Healing Lights and Recovery Lights, even if a few Beast Kings surrounded them, it was difficult for the Beast Kings to kill them. Instead, the Beast Kings fell one after another. Quite a few human ancient martial art practitioners used this opportunity to break through into the next realm, their cultivation becoming even more powerful.
The sea of Beast Kings could kill a group of people, but it could also cultivate them.
“You mean that all the human ancient martial art practitioners have this ability?” The Giant Crocodile Beast King could not stay calm any longer. Once its cultivation reached the level of a Beast King, its intelligence was high. It realized that not only Mo Wen had this ability and that all the human ancient martial art practitioners would have the same ability to heal.
It looked down at the sea of Beast Kings. After it observed its surroundings for a moment, its facial expression turned ugly. Its gaze was wary as it realized that not many human ancient martial art practitioners had actually died. Many were injured, but they could recover in an instant. Even the Inner Qi that they had depleted could be quickly recovered.
Unless the Beast Kings killed them instantly, it would be very difficult to kill a human ancient martial art practitioner.
“So that’s how it is.” The Giant Crocodile Beast King finally realized that this game of death was not an opportunity arranged by the Tower Spirit to let them slaughter the human ancient martial art practitioners. It was instead a real game of death. Both sides had equal chances.
“You are quite intelligent,” Mo Wen said with a smile.
“You shouldn’t be too pleased with yourself. I killed you once, and that means I can kill you a second and a third time until you cannot resurrect. I do not believe that you can keep resurrecting indefinitely.”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King became more positive. The gaze it gave Mo Wen was no longer one of condescension but one of a raging thirst for battle. Since the chances were equal, that meant that it also had a chance of defeating the human ancient martial art practitioners. Since either side could win, then why shouldn’t it be the side of the Beast Kings? The Giant Crocodile Beast King had dominated the Fire Domain for millennia. Since when had it feared anyone?
“You won’t get any more chances.” Nangong Mingzhu, who had been floating in mid-air all this time and had not been harmed due to Mo Wen’s protection, suddenly opened her eyes. Two crimson moons appeared in her beautiful pupils. At the same time, the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower released a brilliant light, instantly disappearing from in front of Nangong Mingzhu.
When it appeared again, it was above the Giant Crocodile Beast King. Beams of crimson light poured down, becoming tens of thousands of crimson chains. In an instant, they enveloped the Giant Crocodile Beast King, binding him in the blink of an eye. Even with the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s ability, it did not have time to react.
Howl!
The Giant Crocodile Beast King panicked, shaking its huge figure as it tried to struggle free from the crimson light chains. No matter how absolute its cultivation was, the crimson light chains were exceptionally tough. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free.
At the top of the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower, a mass of crimson light slowly coalesced. The mass of crimson light changed shape, gradually becoming a crimson crescent moon blade. The moonlight blade shone more brilliantly, becoming bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, it was over a thousand feet tall.
An unparalleled destructive power emanated from the moonlight blade. It seemed to be able to even cut the sky in two. Even people tens of thousands of feet away could feel their hearts tremble. Their expressions turned pale as the power of death enveloped the hearts of everyone.
“The Crimson Moon Demonic Tower.”
The expression of Chu Yuan, who was fighting the Fire Bull Beast King, changed drastically. He looked shocked by the appearance of the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower in the sky.
