Chapter 962: The Purple Light Reappears
Xue Chu was shocked beyond words. Not only was this Mo Wen young, but his talents were extraordinary. Moreover, his immortal remarkable powers were profound and mysterious. Xue Chu felt like he could not catch up with Mo Wen. Most likely, not long after this, Mo Wen would leave him in the dust.
“Damn it! We absolutely cannot let him get away.”
Xue Chu bit down tightly on his lip. If they missed this opportunity, who knew whether or not they would have another. Mo Wen was too dangerous to be left alone. They needed to act swiftly and cleanly, dealing with him as soon as possible.
The few of them left Li’an City in the blink of an eye, a group of people chasing one person. Mo Wen became a black dot, faintly flickering on the horizon. It seemed as though he would disappear at the next moment.
The situation at hand did not allow Xue Chu time to think. A string of crimson beads slowly flew out from his wrist. There were 12 beads on the string. They were Buddhist prayer beads and were a brilliant red as though a crimson sea was churning inside each of them.
The Blood Buddha Beads! The Blood Evil Temple’s most valued treasure. They were venerated in the Blood Evil Temple for generations and could only be used by the Temple Leader. It was rather close to the level of a spiritual treasure. It was not something that ordinary superb rank profound level weapons could compare with.
Xue Chu’s sharp fingernails slit his wrist. Large amounts of blood immediately gushed out. The blood seemed to have spirituality and automatically coalesced into a blood dragon. Then, it dove headfirst into the Blood Buddha Beads and disappeared without a trace.
The Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader’s expression instantly became extremely pale. He unleashed ritualistic gestures one after another. The Blood Buddha Beads immediately shone brightly. Crimson light lit up the sky and faintly emitted a domineering Qi that consumed the heavens and the earth.
“You forced me to use this technique. I don’t believe that I cannot kill you now.”
Xue Chu silently bit down on his lip. This was the Blood Evil Temple’s forbidden secret technique. By cultivating the beads with blood, his cultivation would revert 50 years. He only used this technique when he had absolutely no other choice. He didn’t like using this technique because, once he used it, it was likely that, in his lifetime, he would never reach the level of great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm.
Swoosh!
The Blood Buddha Beads instantly disappeared. The next moment, a huge Blood Buddha appeared on the horizon. The Blood Buddha was like a mountain, tens of thousands of meters tall. It was chubby with a big smile on its face like a Laughing Buddha. However, its eyes contained a killing intent that shook the heavens and the earth. Crimson light shone everywhere.
Mo Wen stared wide-eyed at the huge Buddha in mid-air. That monstrous pressure made even his heart turn cold. The terrifying pressure enveloped a radius of a thousand miles, causing him to be unable to escape it no matter what.
What trick was this? Most likely even a cultivator with great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm did not have such ability!
Rumble!
“Mo Wen, die!” The huge Blood Buddha spoke and then sent a palm strike crashing down. The huge palm strike enveloped an area of a radius of at least a few hundred miles. As it descended, it kept growing larger. When it was about to land, it most likely enveloped a thousand miles.
No matter how fast Mo Wen was, he could not escape this palm strike.
Tsk!
Mo Wen drew a cold breath. Under the huge palm, he felt the aura of death approaching. If he made even a slight slip, he would very likely end up dying here.
He flicked his wrist and an ancient talisman appeared in his hand. This was the Thousand Mile Talisman that he had obtained from the forbidden land of the Dafang Sect. The Thousand Mile Talisman was on the level of a spiritual talisman. Only Tide Changing Realm cultivators could concoct one. It was at least at the level of a fifth-rank spiritual talisman. Mo Wen’s spiritual talisman was a treasure passed down from the Middle Age. Its original rank might be even higher than the fifth rank.
“I won’t make it!” Just when Mo Wen was about to activate the spiritual talisman, he realized that he could not make it in time. It took some time to activate the spiritual talisman. Moreover, under such circumstances, the process of activating the spiritual talisman was longer. Perhaps even before Mo Wen could be teleported away, he would already be smashed by the gigantic crimson palm.
If he had known earlier that this was going to happen, he would have used this Thousand Mile Talisman from the beginning. Mo Wen regretted it. Before this, he thought he could escape with his speed. He had not imagined that Xue Chu would have such a powerful attack. Then again, Xue Chu was the Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader and should not be underestimated.
“Take that!” Mo Wen bit his lip, and the Qi and blood in his body surged frenziedly. He pushed the Celestial Body to its upper limit. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in his hand released streaks of lightning. The Power of Heaven and Earth transformed by the esoteric rule for thunder gathered feverishly. In the blink of an eye, a lightning swirl had formed around Mo Wen.
“The Glory of Thunder!”
Among the three Glory techniques, the Glory of Thunder was no doubt the one with the strongest offense. Right now, Mo Wen extended the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in his hand, and it crashed towards the gigantic crimson palm. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was fully activated with the power of the Glory of Thunder. A gigantic heavenly serpent illusory figure quietly appeared and hovered over the sky. It was not any smaller than the Blood Buddha.
Rumble!
Mo Wen’s strongest attack crashed with the Blood Buddha’s crimson palm. However, the outcome was that Mo Wen was smashed to the ground by the palm strike. A deep hole was formed in the ground. On the other hand, the Blood Buddha’s gigantic palm merely shook slightly and paused for a moment before it continued smashing down.
“A spiritual treasure!”
Xue Chu stared at the heavenly serpent illusory figure in the sky greedily. Before he came here, he had received news about Mo Wen owning a spiritual treasure. It was a treasure far more powerful than the Blood Buddha Beads. The biggest reason why Xue Chu had come to Li’an City so quickly was that he was wanted Mo Wen’s treasures.
“How can someone like you who has low cultivation utilize the spiritual treasure? Most likely you didn’t even unleash one percent of the might of that spiritual treasure. Even so, you managed to block an attack from the Blood Buddha. If I can get my hands on that spiritual treasure, most likely even ordinary cultivators with great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm will not be a match for me.”
As Xue Chu thought about it, his greed intensified. Xue Chu spent 50 years of his cultivation to unleash the Blood Buddha forbidden technique, but Mo Wen, who only had a tad bit of cultivation, managed to block an attack from the Blood Buddha with the help of a spiritual treasure. From this, one could speculate the might of the spiritual treasure.
Mo Wen flew out from the underground. He was still surrounded by lightning; however, his face was pale beyond comparison. His aura was all messed up, and his shirt was drenched with blood. He managed to block an attack from the Blood Buddha, but he was severely injured. If it was not for the Celestial Body, and if any other person had been in Mo Wen’s shoes, they would have died instantly.
Could it be that a later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator was already so invincible?
Mo Wen did not know that Xue Chu had paid the price of 50 years of cultivation to unleash this remarkable power. Let alone later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, most likely even cultivators with great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm would have been killed if they were careless when faced with this Blood Buddha. If later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, who were slightly weaker, were to face this there was an 80% or 90% chance that they would have been killed by this forbidden technique.
Mo Wen was too huge of a threat for the Blood Evil Temple, hence Xue Chu had to go all out when battling him.
“You won’t escape this,” Seeing that Mo Wen was severely injured, Xue Chu laughed aloud. Once he killed Mo Wen, not only would he eliminate a huge threat, but he would also obtain Mo Wen’s treasures. Rumor had it that Mo Wen was related to and was the successor of the infamous person who lived 100 years ago.
If the rumors were true, was that item with Mo Wen too? When Xue Chu thought of that, his entire body seemed to be burning, and he was excited beyond words. Xue Chu’s intuition told him that his chance of advancing prosperously in his career had come. After all, in the past, the items that the infamous person owned caused a few big stirs in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Otherwise, that person would not have made so many enemies.
Mo Wen clasped the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear tightly. His body had been severely injured; however, at the same time, a green light gushed out from his body continuously and was repairing his wounds. It was Mo Wen’s vital energy, another form of energy stored in Mo Wen’s body. Before this, Mo Wen absorbed a large amount of initial vital Qi, and it rose by a level to form vital energy in his body. Differing from Yin Yang Qi, the vital energy did not have any attack ability. However, it contained a majestic vital function. Hence, it was the best thing for saving lives and healing wounds.
Mo Wen had a deep understanding of vital energy from Ji Wuya’s inheritance. This energy was the source of the creation of life for all living things. It was needed for the source of life. As long as this energy within him was pure and rich enough, even if he was only left with a limb, or even just a single cell, he could reconstruct his entire body and resurrect from the dead.
“Go to Hell.”
Xue Chu could not possibly give Mo Wen too much time to catch his breath. The spiritual power on his body overflowed, and he drained almost all the energy in his body dry in an instant, intending to kill Mo Wen with one strike.
Rumble!
The huge Blood Buddha’s huge palm suddenly accelerated in its descent. Its arm suddenly trembled and split into three with a flash. The three palm strike illusions overlapped and pressed down fiercely.
“Three palm strikes!”
Mo Wen’s expression turned pale. The Blood Buddha sent out three consecutive palm strikes. The technique was similar to compound waves. Each palm strike was more powerful than the one before. He found it hard to receive even one palm strike, let alone three consecutive ones.
“Bastard!” Mo Wen cursed. With a flick of his wrist, another ancient spiritual talisman appeared in his hand. The lightning aura faintly flashed over its surface. This was the Thunderbolt Talisman that Mo Wen had obtained. Mo Wen had not used this Thunderbolt Talisman before, so he was unclear of the rank. After all, items passed down from the Middle Age already lost half of their might over the years.
However, he estimated that the residue power was equal to that of a fourth-rank spiritual talisman. It was at least equal to a hit from a strong practitioner with great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm.
Mo Wen had kept this spiritual talisman as a last resort. He had never used it before. From the looks of it now, he could not reserve it any longer.
“Let’s fight then. I do not believe that you can keep me here, Mo Wen.”
Mo Wen pointed his spear at the heavens and leaped. He actively crashed towards the huge Blood Buddha palm. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in his hand split into three. One roared with thunder, brilliant lightning forming into a lightning serpent. One howled with the winds of the heavens. A wind dragon spun on the ground, and suddenly, a huge tornado appeared in the heavens and the earth. One gathered the clouds and constantly changed, forming what appeared to be a bottomless wall of cotton at a glance.
One spear merged all three Glory techniques within it. It was the greatest achievement that Mo Wen had recently cultivated. It was also his limit. Other remarkable power secret techniques, such as the Cold Ice Domain and Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm were useless in a battle like this. Only the three Glory techniques were Mo Wen’s most practical methods of attack.
On the other hand, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift was not a proficient offense. He definitely could not just rely on defending in the situation at hand. He could defend once or twice, but could he possibly still defend against that 10 times or 100 times? Only by relying on absolute power to destroy the Blood Buddha itself could he successfully escape.
“You don’t know your strength,” Xue Chu coldly laughed. Even if Mo Wen could withstand the first palm strike, could he still withstand the second and third ones?
Although he said that, Xue Chu was astonished. The remarkable powers that the brat unleashed were unbelievably powerful. There were most likely all Heavenly Path remarkable powers.
The three Glory techniques were like three long spears, gallantly colliding with the crimson palm. In an instant, the whole world seemed to shake.
