Chapter 963: The Heavenly Fire Appears
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bam!
One of the crimson palm illusions gradually dissipated, then dissipated into nothingness.
The first palm strike was finally negated with Mo Wen’s most powerful attack. However, the second and third palm strikes came crashing towards Mo Wen right after that, and they were both far more powerful than the first palm strike.
Mo Wen roared angrily like a cornered beast. Two auras, one black and one white, surged out from his body and became a huge Yin Yang Trigram. His Yin Yang Qi surged, like a river overflowing its banks.
At the same time, a faint purple light silently appeared on the surface of his body. This purple light gave off an exceptionally distant and mysterious feeling.
The Tai Chi Purple Light! This was the most fundamental embodiment of the Heavenly Path of Tai Chi. This purple light represented the tiniest portion of the Heavenly Path of Tai Chi. In the world, there were very few complete Heavenly Paths, but the Heavenly Path of Tai Chi was one of them. However, to comprehend the Heavenly Path of Tai Chi, one had to cultivate the Tai Chi Purple Light. If one could not even successfully cultivate the Tai Chi Purple Light, they couldn’t comprehend the Heavenly Path of Tai Chi.
Of course, Mo Wen was still a billion miles away from comprehending the Heavenly Path. That was a matter for the Heavenly Path absolute strong practitioners. However, the Tai Chi Purple Light appearing on Mo Wen’s body proved that he was fated for the Heavenly Path of Tai Chi. Otherwise, Mo Wen, or even a more advanced Supreme Profundity Realm or Divine Illusionary Realm cultivator could not cultivate the Tai Chi Purple Light.
With the Tai Chi Purple Light on him, Mo Wen could do more with less and still achieve extraordinary results when cultivating any remarkable secret techniques, magical treasure manufacturing, stratagem setups, and medicinal pill concoctions that were related to the changes of Yin Yang Tai Chi.
This was the reason why Mo Qingge was so surprised when she saw the Tai Chi Purple Light appear on Mo Wen. This was equivalent to winning a grand prize. It was something worthy of the envy of others.
The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift was a remarkable power that was created with Tai Chi as its foundation. Its changes were mysterious and unpredictable.
When merged with the Tai Chi Purple Light, it made this remarkable power almost seem like nature itself. It was like a natural appearance of the Yin and Yang of the heavens and earth and was flawless.
Even the creator of The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift would most likely have not imagined that the Tai Chi Purple Light would appear on his successor.
The huge Yin Yang Trigram slowly rotated and actively received the huge Blood Buddha palm that was crashing downwards.
“As expected, it is The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift. It’s that person’s unique remarkable power,” Xue Chu narrowed his eyes. He recognized it at a glance. That was The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift that was famous in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Their Blood Evil Temple still did not have any Heavenly Path remarkable powers, not even small path remarkable powers. This brat was truly lucky.
However, The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift that the brat unleashed seemed to be different from that of legend. As for what was different, he couldn’t put his finger on it. The Yin Yang Trigram made him feel as though it was merged with the heavens and earth. The whole world seemed to have merged into the Yin Yang Trigram.
“Humph, I don’t care what remarkable power you use. No matter how powerful your small path remarkable power is, it is useless. Your cultivation is too low. You can’t block my Blood Buddha forbidden technique,” Xue Chu coldly snorted. He didn’t believe that the youth could block his attack with a tiny triagam. If the same remarkable power was unleashed by the famous Mighty Immortal Cultivator, Xue Chu speculated that that person could casually destroy his Blood Buddha forbidden technique. That person could finish off Xue Chu with one finger.
However, that person was a savage existence who had killed countless Tide Changing Realm strong practitioners. The Tide Changing Realm Mighty Immortal Cultivators who died at that person’s hands could not be counted. On the contrary, Mo Wen was just a brute who had yet to grow up. How mighty could Mo Wen be?
Mo Wen clasped onto the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear tightly. He hoped The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift could block a palm strike from the Blood Buddha and dissipate some of the Blood Buddha’s force.
Usually, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift did not naturally have such might. However, the situation was different this time because Mo Wen had merged the Tai Chi Purple Light into it.
Regarding the Tai Chi Purple Light, Mo Wen had had a better understanding of it since last time. Mo Qingge advised him to try not to use the Tai Chi Purple Light. Even though the power was heaven-defying, it attracted the envy of others. Therefore, during ordinary battles, Mo Wen would never use the Tai Chi Purple Light.
Of course, there were very few people who could recognize the Tai Chi Purple Light. Xue Chu was one of the only people who could recognize it.
Rumble!
The entire heavens and earth seemed to shake for a moment. The Yin Yang Trigram and the huge palm of the Blood Buddha crashed into each other. In an instant, time seemed to have paused. There weren’t any ferocious collisions. The two seemed to simply touch and then freeze in their spots.
The huge palm of the Blood Buddha seemed to have been stopped by the Yin Yang Trigram.
“How is this possible?” Xue Chu’s eyes were wide open. He was well-aware of the might of the Blood Buddha forbidden technique. Let alone Mo Wen, even a cultivator with the great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm would not dare to take a palm strike from the Blood Buddha head-on. As a small path remarkable power, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift were naturally extraordinary. However, it couldn’t be heaven-defying, right?
Mo Wen’s cultivation most likely had not yet reached the intermediate stage of the Primordial Soul Realm. At most, Mo Wen was at the beginning stage of the Primordial Soul Realm. Xue Chu even suspected that Mo Wen hadn’t even broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm yet. Xue Chu suspected this because he couldn’t sense the aura of the Primordial Soul Realm cultivators from Mo Wen.
A Primordial Soul Realm cultivator was one with nature, and they were very close with the spiritual energy in the heavens and earth. Usually, it would be hard for the Primordial Soul Realm cultivators to hide their spirituality. Perhaps cultivators could hide this aura using secret techniques during normal times so that they could hide their true identities. However, when they went all out during a battle, they couldn’t hide their aura.
Right now, Xue Chu could only faintly sense Mo Wen’s spirituality at times. The spiritual energy seemed to not be close to Mo Wen. It truly seemed as though Mo Wen was not a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator.
However, even though Mo Wen did not seem like a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator, his cultivation was not weaker than that of a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator. In many aspects, Mo Wen was even stronger than ordinary beginning stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators. Xue Chu had observed Mo Wen for a long time, yet he still could not figure Mo Wen out.
But that was not the main point. The most important thing was Mo Wen’s ability had far exceeded Xue Chu’s expectation.
“Your defense is merely a futile struggle,” Xue Chu coldly snorted. What difference did it make for Mo Wen to block his attack momentarily? In the end, Mo Wen would still die at his hands.
As expected, the frozen Yin Yang Trigram did not last long. It crumbled slowly under the force of the Blood Buddha’s huge palm, completely dissipating in the end.
However, the force of the Blood Buddha’s second palm strike had been weakened by more than half.
Mo Wen, who had been waiting for the right moment, seized the opportunity to unleash the three Glory techniques once again. The wind howled and the clouds shifted. A terrifying force crashed with the Blood Buddha’s second palm strike. Finally, the second palm strike dissipated completely as well.
However, after taking the Blood Buddha head-on twice, the injuries in Mo Wen’s body worsened. Mo Wen bled from his orifices, and he was practically struggling with his last breath.
“The third palm strike. This is when you die.” A glint of excitement flashed in Xue Chu’s eyes. He had not expected Mo Wen to last for so long. However, no matter how strong Mo Wen was, he could not possibly block the third palm strike, right?
Right now, Xue Chu went closer and was standing on the shoulder of the gigantic Blood Buddha. However, he had invested all his energy into activating the Blood Buddha, so naturally, he could not unleash any other attacks. As for the Dual Evils Black and White, they did not dare to go near the battlefield at all. With their cultivation, if they were dragged into the battle, they would most likely be killed after the first attack.
As expected, the third palm strike continued to descend, and it was even fiercer than the two palm strikes before it.
Mo Wen raised his head and looked at the huge palm that covered an area of a thousand miles. His expression looked more serious than ever. He caressed the Thunderbolt Talisman in his hand. Right now, if he used the Thunderbolt Talisman, he certainly could destroy the third palm strike. However, after that, Mo Wen could not be certain if Xue Chu had other tricks up his sleeve, and he didn’t know if he could risk it.
Xue Chu’s will to kill him was as strong as steel. When that time came, Xue Chu would most likely throw all caution to the wind. As long as the Blood Buddha was not destroyed, who knew whether it would attack again or not. Mo Wen guessed that Xue Chu had reached his limit too. However, it was hard to say what Xue Chu would do if he decided to fight to the death.
“F*ck!” Mo Wen cursed inside. He could not give Xue Chu any opportunity. Caution was the parent of safety. The more dangerous it was, the more he had to be cautious.
Right now, he had long depleted the energy in his body. His Yin Yang Qi was almost completely expended. Without it as a foundation, the might of the three Glory techniques was reduced to less than a tenth. After all, his energy was the most crucial. If he did not have enough energy, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was or how incredible his remarkable powers were, he could not unleash their full potential.
The Power of Heaven and Earth could be endlessly gathered, but how much Power of Heaven and Earth could he gather within a short amount of time? In a fight, life and death were decided in an instant. By the time one had gathered enough Power of Heaven and Earth, the other party would have long finished them off. That was unless one’s realm was far higher than the other party’s and one could instantly gather Power of Heaven and Earth to destroy the other party. However, the actual situation was that the other party’s realm was higher than his.
Mo Wen discovered that he was already at his wit’s end. The Power of Heaven and Earth activated by a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator could easily destroy an ordinary Infinite Powerhouse. However, in a battle between Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, it could not play a key role.
“Although I have never tried it before, it shouldn’t be too bad.”
Mo Wen slowly lowered his head and looked at his palm. There appeared to be nothing in his palm. But, if one looked closely, they could see that the space around his palm was being distorted continuously.
The Spiritless Clean-Fire!
It was formless and colorless, turning everything into nothingness. Ever since he consumed the spiritual fire, Mo Wen had a formless flame hidden inside his body. However, he had never used it before because he felt that he could not control this fire and would very likely burn himself while trying to use it and end up losing his life.
Previously, Ji Wuya had cultivated to the Divine Illusionary Realm before he managed to unleash the Spiritless Clean-Fire as a potent remarkable power. Before that, he had only used it to concoct medicinal pills. The reason why he could become the Medicine Sage was largely attributed to the Spiritless Clean-Fire.
“Let’s do it. At most, I will release less of the Spiritless Clean-Fire. My Celestial Body should be able to withstand the first wave of recoil. I only need to attack once to destroy the huge palm!” Mo Wen ground his teeth. Finally, he did not restrict the Spiritless Clean-Fire within him.
Rumble!
In an instant, the whole world seemed to tremble. Then, a terrifying scene appeared. Within a radius of 10,000 miles, all the spiritual energy swarmed towards him. A huge swirl of spiritual energy appeared in the sky above. The bottom of the swirl was like a funnel, connecting directly with Mo Wen’s small palm.
It was as though he was stirring the entire world within a 10,000-mile radius.
Once the spiritual fire appeared, spiritual energy would automatically coalesce. As for the Heavenly Fire, it was far superior to the spiritual fire. If the Heavenly Fire got out of control, no one knew what would happen. With Mo Wen’s capabilities, he would surely suffer the recoil from unleashing the Heavenly Fire. He might even lose his life in the process.
“What?” Xue Chu stared wide-eyed as he was shocked by the scene before him. What was going on?
