Chapter 943: Enforcing To The Letter
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes, focusing all his attention on being cautious of his surroundings. He did not believe Yao Yu’s words at all. How could there be something so abnormal in the world? However, he could not afford a single mishap. If this woman Yao Yu said it, it might not be baseless.
Injury!
When this word was uttered, Mo Wen suddenly noticed a frightening heavenly force descending onto his body. He instantly sensed the wave, but, to his horror, he could not evade it at all, and he also did not know how to withstand it. He could only stare wide-eyed as the wave descended on him.
Rumble!
A muffled sound of thunder resounded in his mind. It was as though his soul was being forcefully smashed by a hammer. His mind instantly went dark. Then, a sweet taste filled his mouth as blood flowed from it.
“The power of the Heavenly Path. How is it possible?”
Mo Wen looked at Yao Yu in astonishment. His eyes were filled with a look of disbelief. He was no stranger to the wave that had just fallen, that oppression that was like a heavenly force. That was the power of the Heavenly Path. Previously, inside the primeval space, he had experienced it close-up. Hence, he had a very clear sense of how frightening the power was.
He did not understand how Yao Yu could control such a power. It was quite frightening! Fortunately, it was just a weak Heavenly Path aura. If it had been even slightly more powerful, his soul would most likely have been immediately killed.
“Enforcing To The Letter! That is an ability that only absolute mighty cultivators who have mastered the Heavenly Path can possess. How is this possible? Who exactly is this Yao Yu?”
This was the first time in the battle arena that not only Mo Wen, but also Mo Qingge, appeared astonished. She looked at Yao Yu in shock. Enforcing To The Letter. Only supreme Heavenly Path Sages had such a heavenly force. A Heavenly Path Sage could change the heavens and the earth just by uttering a word. Deserts would become oases and mountains would become plains with just a thought.
Only Heavenly Path Sages and incredible Virtue and Justice realm strong practitioners could have such power. Yao Yu was just a junior of the younger generation. How was it possible?
However, the scene before her could not be wrong. Yao Yu had, indeed, just activated the power of the Heavenly Path. With one word, the Heavenly Path was altered. With one word, life and death could be determined. Although this power was weak, approaching nothing, and could not threaten Mo Qingge, it was definitely in the Enforcing To The Letter realm.
“Elder sister, this Yao Yu most likely has already surpassed what we imagined. There has not been a Heavenly Path Sage among the clans outside of Hua Xia for tens of thousands of years,” Mo Qingtian said with a serious expression.
Yao Yu’s figure gave him very frightening premonition. Could it be that another Heavenly Path Sage was about to appear among the outsiders?
A Heavenly Path Sage was a power at the absolute pinnacle. Although there was a significant difference between them and Ancient Age Heavenly Path Sages like the God of the Underworld, one more Heavenly Path Sage was a huge deal in all the various realms.
“That Yao Yu is indeed strange. To be able to master the power of Enforcing To The Letter proves that her background is not ordinary. However, becoming a Heavenly Path Sage is beyond difficult. The chances aren’t even one in a million. Many absolute Virtue and Justice realm immortal cultivators can come in contact with the Heavenly Path, as well. They can also utilize the power of Enforcing To The Letter. However, among them, the hopes of becoming a Heavenly Path Sage are rather slim.”
Mo Qingge shook her head. Becoming a Heavenly Path Sage was a difficult path. During the Ancient Age, if one became a Heavenly Path Sage, in reality one was already immortal. They were even more frightening and powerful than ordinary deities. On their Immortal End Day, if their luck was good, some Virtue and Justice realm immortal cultivators could overcome that tragedy and transcend. The success rate for absolute Virtue and Justice realm immortal cultivators that had come in contact with the Heavenly Path was almost over 90%. Very few people failed to transcend. When such a situation occurred, it was usually an accident.
As for Heavenly Path Sages, they were almost guaranteed to become immortal. Transcending was, for them, a matter of choice. Due to various reasons, it was common for some Heavenly Path Sages to hold off on transcending.
In the past, the God of the Underworld was for a long time a rather frightening Heavenly Path Sage during the Ancient Age. In order to comprehend an absolute Heavenly Path like the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he held off on transcending. Unfortunately, the Immortal End Day came and he could no longer transcend.
“Even if there is only a one-in-a-million chance, Yao Yu will most likely become a must-kill target for the Gods Alliance,” Mo Qingtian said with a smile. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to become a Heavenly Path Sage. However, there was some hope for Yao Yu. But this small hope was something that the Gods Alliance would absolutely forbid. If the Demon Gods Alliance had another Heavenly Path Sage, it would be an indescribable catastrophe for the Gods Alliance.
…
Mo Wen’s expression paled slightly. He was definitely injured. Just because Yao Yu had uttered a word, he was injured. Since they began engaging in battle, he had not been injured at all thanks to his Celestial Body. But now, the power of the Heavenly Path had descended. No matter how powerful the Celestial Body might be, it would be useless unless he had also come in contact with the profundity of the Heavenly Path.
Luckily, his injury was not serious; it was just a minor wound. Even so, Mo Wen acted like an enraged rooster. He was both shocked and angered. How could he possibly battle someone who had mastered the power of the Heavenly Path?
“You can’t use this power freely, right?”
Mo Wen suddenly noticed the sweat on Yao Yu’s face as she stood motionless in place. He immediately thought of something, and so raised his eyebrows and spoke.
“That’s right. You are truly smart. If I could use it freely, you would not be qualified to fight against me at all,” Yao Yu said plainly without avoiding the question. Yao Yu’s talent was indeed very frightening, but that also depended on her opponent. If they were an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster, she could instantly kill them with just the word, “Die.” However, Mo Wen was too powerful. She could not even utter the word “Die” since the power of the Heavenly Path was also limited. All things were relatively balanced. With Mo Wen’s cultivation, it was impossible for her to kill him with one word.
Ultimately, the reason was that her own cultivation level was too low. If her cultivation were sufficient, forget killing Mo Wen with a single word; she could even kill a Divine Soul. The legendary Heavenly Path Sages could destroy the heavens and the earth with a single word.
Mo Wen heaved a sigh of relief. He calmed down slightly inside. If Yao Yu were able to use it a few more times, they would not need to fight at all; he would immediately surrender.
“You are celebrating too early. Just now, I did not give my all. Otherwise, you would have certainly been severely injured. Also, even if I do not rely on my heavenly talent, you are still no match for me,” Yao Yu said plainly.
Previously, she was just testing him. Of course, if Yao Yu did not hold back and unleashed her heavenly talent to attack Mo Wen, she would also be injured. They were not bitter rivals, so it was not worth it for her to risk her life for this battle.
“Defeat me? Bring it on, then. I also hope that you are able to defeat me. Most likely this time, I will truly need to go all out.”
Mo Wen was not nervous because he knew what to expect. His eyes were burning with fighting spirit. Where else could he find such a strong opponent, under normal circumstances? Besides, since the two of them did not have any grudge, it was unlikely that they’d kill each other. When they reached the crucial moment, they would probably leave each other a way out. Hence, this battle was a perfect opportunity for Mo Wen to refine his skills.
Lightning flashed past them. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared in Mo Wen’s hand. The might of the spiritual treasure roamed free on the snowy landscape. The lightning in the heavens and earth continuously gathered around it.
At the same time, a crimson glow lit up on his right arm. Mo Wen’s arm instantly transformed into a crimson dragon arm. The hideous dragon arm was quite terrifying.
The Blood Clotting Claw was a very special profound level weapon that Mo Wen owned. It could be strengthened through a massacre and it could one day transform into a spiritual treasure. It could be categorized as a heretic weapon. Moreover, after Mo Wen refined the Blood Clotting Claw, it drastically increased the strength of his arm. The scope of the change was really huge. The part that surprised Mo Wen the most was that, even after he unleashed the Celestial Body and his strength had been pushed to its maximum capacity, the Blood Clotting Claw could still increase his energy in this fashion. Even the increment remained unchanged.
This fast was truly frightening. Even ordinary superb-grade profound level weapons did not have such an ability, let alone that the Blood Clotting Claw, which was just a low-grade profound level weapon.
Mo Wen was certain that the Blood Clotting Claw was not ordinary. In the past, it was most likely a terrifying heretic weapon. He couldn’t help but recall the dry corpse in the living compound of the ancient city. Even after thousands of years of rotting, he had actually been able to make it move due to this Blood Clotting Claw. Mo Wen shivered at the thought of it. The grade of this Blood Clotting Claw that Mo Wen had taken most likely exceeded what he imagined.
Beyond than the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear and the Blood Clotting Claw, the Cries of Hades Bell and the mountains painting scroll, which Mo Wen used to use frequently, were useless now. Yao Yu was born heretic and different. Since she had such bizarre talents, naturally, her soul must not be ordinary. The attacks from Cries of Hades Bell would most likely not have much effect on her.
As for the mountains painting scroll, it used to be an excellent defensive treasure. However, right now, Mo Wen’s body was tougher than the mountains painting scroll. Hence, it had become useless to Mo Wen; yet he felt reluctant to just let go of it.
“You are also very wealthy.”
Staring at the two treasures Mo Wen took out, Yao Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly. She recognized good stuff when she saw them. The thunder and lightning spear was quite terrifying; its power was on par with her Fallen Angel Sword. As for the bizarre blood dragon claw, even though she couldn’t tell its origin, she felt an uncontrollable sense of danger. It was most likely something extraordinary, as well.
To think that a mere Hua Xia youth was actually that wealthy. Even ordinary sacred-level practitioners could not possibly get their hands on those two treasures. Only Saints or those higher up would have come in contact with treasures of this caliber. Even though the western world was not as wealthy as Hua Xia, there was no way that the difference was that great.
“How is this wealthy? I am still far behind compared to you. Come at me – stop being overcautious. Whatever you have, use it on me. I am not someone who can be easily taken down.”
The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in Mo Wen’s hand shook slightly. In the sky, thunder and lightning appeared in an even greater frenzy. Now, Mo Wen was more or less able to use the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. Even though he would still experience the energy recoil, he could resist it with his Celestial Body. Otherwise, even Primordial Soul realm ancient martial art practitioners might not be able to handle this dignified spiritual treasure.
“Fallen Angel Domain.”
Yao Yu gave this command. The wings on her back suddenly brightened up with dazzling lights. Then, the entire sky darkened, seemingly covered by snow. Endless darkness enveloped the earth; dark magical power gushed forth continuously out of the blue. There were stars in the sky; however, those were not ordinary stars. Instead, they were demonic ones. The demonic stars seemed to be supplying endless energy to Yao Yu. As long as she stayed in the Fallen Angel Domain, she was undefeated.
A beam of sword light slashed across the night sky, crashing like a comet towards Mo Wen.
