Pei Fengwu and the other three were all geniuses of Huatian Palace. They knew each other well and were used to fighting alongside each other. Their opponent was a fire scorpion at the peak of the seventh rank. It was on the losing end.
Mo Wen discovered two other teams of young warriors who had also teamed up to face a powerful monstrous beast. Perhaps alone, they would be no match for those creatures: together, they were able to unleash a startling combat power.
Mo Wen was surprised to discover that there were one or two younger human warriors who were fighting powerful monstrous beasts alone.
On his left was a youth in black. He held a blood red sickle in his hand and was alone in fighting the fire bull demon which was at the peak of the seventh rank. Even though the fire bull had the upper hand, it was not causing too much trouble for its opponent.
In terms of talent and abilities, Pei Fengwu and the others were no match for the youth in black. His cultivation levels must have been at the late Golden Elixir realm stage. In the small inner world that was the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, he was a powerhouse.
Even though there were only a few young powerhouses like him among human warriors, their future potential was difficult to estimate. Mo Wen was surprised and wondered which sect had nurtured such a talented youth.
It was chaotic in the square. Mo Wen did not join the chaos but concealed himself on the outskirts of the square, silently waiting for his chance.
On the edge of the ancient city was a tall mountain peak. A group of people had appeared above it. It was impossible to know how long they had been there. They were all wearing black robes and emanated a cold, evil aura.
There were seven people in total and the cultivation levels of each of them were high. One could judge from their aura that the weakest of them was a strong practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. The group of people stood on the mountain and looked down on at the central square. Their gazes were exceptionally cold.
“Those people are already facing the seven beast kings of the Fire domain. Looking at the situation, the beast kings are not going to be able to stop them,” the member of the group who was standing on the far left said. His voice was low and hoarse as if he had intentionally suppressed his voice in his throat.
“Lord Chu Yuan, the people making up the group are all from martial arts sects in the various worlds. There are not many people from Demonic Sky. I don’t know where they are hiding. From the information I received earlier, those from Demonic Sky should have reached here long ago.”
A pale-faced elder on the right turned to look at their leader. The leader was a middle-aged man who had a stoic expression. His eyes glowed with life and he was a man of rare beauty. However, there was a cold aura between his brows that made one feel that he was especially hard-hearted and callous.
“Demonic Sky thinks that our Ghost Lair has no interest in the spiritual fire so they have only sent two martial arts grandmasters. We do not need to fear them,” the middle-aged man who was leading the team said lightly. “The spiritual fire is very complex and extremely difficult to handle. It is the very spirit of heaven and earth. Furthermore, the beast guarding the fire has the blood of the ancient dragon flowing in it. Even though it has not yet become a demon, it is not far from it.”
Unlike the other six, the leader did not possess a terrifying aura. However, the rest of the black-robed team all looked at him with admiration and respect.
“The members of Demonic Sky are foolish. They thought that nobody from the Ghost Lair would come,” the man in black robes said with a smile. “The spiritual fire is indeed not very useful to us but that’s not what we’re after. Demonic Sky do not know that a small inner world like the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension would not be able to nurture a spiritual fire under normal circumstances. The appearance of a spiritual fire here must be accompanied by other amazing treasures.” He stood half a step behind the group’s leader. His status was evidently not average. From his aura, one could tell that he was a powerful martial arts grandmaster.
The people from the Ghost Lair had made preparations as soon as the news of the spiritual fire spread. They knew that the birth of a spiritual fire in a small inner world like the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension would definitely have something to do with a rare treasure. The nurturing of a spiritual fire was extremely difficult, especially in the small inner worlds.
“It is almost time. Let’s enter the city. With those human warriors fighting the beast kings in the square, getting into the ancient Fighting Spirit Tower will be much easier. That is a Fighting Spirit Tower of the immortal cultivation world. Even though it has been abandoned for a long time, there must definitely be some treasures in there. We might not just get the spiritual fire this time—we might even be lucky enough to get our hands on some amazing treasures.
An odd smile appeared on Chu Yuan’s lips. Fighting Spirit Towers were rarely seen even in the immortal cultivation world. Only powerful immortal cultivation sects had the ability to build Fighting Spirit Towers and all immortal cultivators dreamed of having such a place. Even in ancient times, a sect which had a Fighting Spirit Towers was certain to be powerful.
He slowly reached out a pale hand from his robe. In it was a dark wooden cane with a dragon carved on the top. The dragon’s eyes glowed blood red.
Chu Yuan shook the wooden cane slightly and a cloud of black fog appeared, enveloping all of the group wearing black robes. A second later, they all disappeared from the peak. It was as if they had never been there.
If Mo Wen had witnessed these events, he would have been really shocked. Chu Yuan had not converted any spiritual stones into spiritual energy when he activated the wooden cane. He had simply been able to activate it and had performed a series of complex actions in a moment.
In the square, the battles were continuing. As time passed, the monstrous beasts of the Fire Domain were starting to lose. There were 18 human martial arts grandmasters present.
The Peacock Beast King was guarding the front of the Fighting Spirit Tower and had not moved. There were already seven martial arts grandmasters trying to force their way past it. No matter how powerful the beast was, it was now facing seven grandmasters. It was covered in injuries, its situation extremely dangerous.
However, the Peacock Beast King was a formidable opponent. It did not allow a single one of the seven powerful martial artists to break through, despite their attacks on it.
However, Mo Wen knew that the beast kings would not be able to hold on for long. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
Roar Roar!
On the other side of the square, two other powerful martial arts grandmasters appeared before the Dragon Beast King. It was now facing five opponents and quickly began to lose the upper hand.
The current situation had occurred because the Fire Snake King had been defeated. Among the seven beast kings, the Fire Snake King had the weakest combat ability. It was no match for warriors like Gao Hanshan who had profound level weapons. It would even be unable to defeat Gao Hanshan if he had attacked alone.
After a battle, the Fire Snake King was covered in injuries. It had almost died at Gao Hanshan’s hands. The Fire Snake King abandoned the other beast kings and fled the ancient city. In the face of imminent death, even beast kings would be afraid. Even though the spiritual fire was very important, it was not as important as its own life. If the beast king died, then there was no point in guarding the spiritual fire.
The withdrawal of the Fire Snake King fled freed up two martial art grandmasters. The pressure on the Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King increased.
“Fire Snake King, you traitor. If I meet you again, I’m going to kill you.” The Dragon Beast King roared incessantly as its tail swished furiously. It swept a human martial arts grandmaster into the air. However, at the same moment, a powerful martial arts grandmaster’s profound level weapon smashed onto the Dragon Beast King’s body, almost causing him to fall onto the ground.
Of the seven beast kings, one had entered the Fighting Spirit Tower while another had fled. The remaining five were all injured.
Some human warriors considered trying to slip into the Fighting Spirit Tower by entering it in a place where the Peacock Beast King could not see what was going on. However, the Peacock Beast King and the seven martial arts grandmasters had fought so furiously that the aftershocks were too strong. Even warriors at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm did not dare to enter their combat circle. Furthermore, they would still face the danger of the Peacock Beast King if it was able to attack them. If they failed to sneak in, they would die.
Their lack of certainty meant that almost no one would dare to do it. As such, there were a few warriors gathered in front of the Fighting Spirit Tower, but none dared to enter.
Mo Wen’s eyes glimmered. He turned into a black mist and approached the central square.
Other than the seven beast kings, there were a few peak level monstrous beasts. However, they were all being restrained by human warriors. As long as he was careful and was not noticed by them, he would not be dragged into the battle.
A shadow turned into a ray of light and entered the square. It moved quickly, heading straight for the Fighting Spirit Tower. It traveled several dozen meters in an instant.
However, just as Mo Wen was about to pass by the battles and move closer to the Fighting Spirit Tower, an incident threw his plans awry. A flicker of blue light appeared in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. Mo Wen sighed lightly and punched in the direction of the obstruction, causing the blue light to disperse. A terrifying power flowed from the center of his strike. Mo Wen took a step back. The strength of the blue light was shocking.
The black fog twisted and Mo Wen’s figure was revealed. His expression was dark because his opponent was not a top-level monstrous beast but a human warrior.
“You sneaky b*stard. Do you think you can slip in like that? How funny.” The cold voice came from a youth in black. He was not old and must have been somewhere between 20 and 30 years old. His expression was a little cold and he was looking at Mo Wen with disdain.
The young man was fighting with a monstrous beast at the peak of the seventh rank. Despite this, he was able to notice Mo Wen while fighting such a terrifying beast, and stop Mo Wen. His ability was shocking.
He was none other than the youth in black Mo Wen noticed earlier. Of all the young warriors on the square, the youth in black was the most powerful.
Mo Wen had not expected that he would not be discovered at all, let alone by a young human who would intentionally ruin his plans.
“Who are you?” Mo Wen asked coldly.
“Hurmph, I am the Eldest Disciple of the Ming Temple of the Floating Mystery Dimension, Hou Jingfeng. Are you feeling resentful? If you are, you can come and look for me. I’ll wait for you.”
Hou Jingfeng laughed coldly and glanced at Mo Wen with disdain again. He was focused on fighting the monstrous beast at the peak of the seventh rank. Even though his cultivation level was only at the late Golden Elixir realm, he had many treasures. Furthermore, the martial arts that he practiced was also esoteric. He could still hold the monstrous beast at the peak of the seventh rank back even though they were of different ranks.
