The sky was filled with fire raining down from above. Mo Wen used the Glory of Wind’s nimbleness and speed, not letting a single flame land on him.
A hundred-meter long snake tail swept across the sky. Everywhere it passed, everything that was in its wake was chopped up and sliced apart, becoming dust. Mo Wen’s silhouette flashed and he avoided the snake tail’s sweeping attack. However, something that he did not expect occurred.
With a flick, the snake tail split into two, then four, and then eight. In an instant, the sky was filled with illusionary snake tails that were more than a hundred meters long and as thick as a bucket. The illusions crossed together, forming a huge cage and locking Mo Wen inside it.
A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. He glanced at the dense illusions all around him. They were like skyscrapers, tightly sealing off the space around him from all directions. Although he couldn’t see through the snake tail illusions, judging by the aura emanated from them they were not something to be trifled with.
A beast roar sounded. The lava sea beneath him splashed and churned. A huge snakehead emerged from the magma, not affected in the least by the illusionary snake tails. The huge head easily passed into the illusionary cage. Mo Wen did not know how long the section of the snake type Beast King that remained submerged in the magma was.
The snake type Beast King suddenly opened its mouth and spoke. “Human, after eating you, I can shed my beastly body and become a demon. I truly thank you for giving me this opportunity.” Its voice was like thunder, constantly rumbling and causing the heavens and the earth to tremble. The gaze it gave Mo Wen was full of covetous desire. It was a desire that stemmed from deep within the soul, as though Mo Wen was the meat of Tang Sanzang and eating him would bestow immortality.
The corner of Mo Wen’s mouth twitched slightly. He had not expected that the Beast Kings created by the Tower Spirit would be so real. Right now, this Beast King was no different from a real life beat king. It had emotions, desires, goals, and pursuits.
Was it true that it could become a demon after eating him?
Mo Wen laughed bitterly. The Tower Spirit had sent out such a message. This Beast King would certainly treat Mo Wen as the most important person in the world, facing him immediately with all of its power.
“You want to eat me? Unfortunately, I want to kill you,” Mo Wen said as he shook his head.
“Kill me?” The snake type Beast King blinked its eyes. Then, it flared up and said, “You dare provoke my honor? Damned puny human. I will swallow you alive and let you experience the pain of death slowly.”
In the eyes of the Beast King, Mo Wen was its food. A piece of food actually dared to speak to it in such a manner. What else could it be asides from challenging its authority?
The snake type Beast King opened its mouth in fury. Its bloody mouth emanated a stench of blood. Its teeth were like savage sharp swords. With a flick of its huge head, the creature leaned forward as it opened its mouth to bite Mo Wen.
Mo Wen’s soul power was not weaker than a Beast King’s. His sensory ability was also strong. The instant that the snake type Beast King moved forward, Mo Wen became a gust of wind, disappearing from his original spot.
At the same time, a small bell emitting purple light appeared in his hand. The Cries of Hades Bell suddenly released large amounts of purple light, illuminating the entire space with a purple glow. The Inner Qi in Mo Wen’s body frenziedly flowed towards the Cries of Hades Bell without stopping at all. The Cries of Hades Bell was like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing his Inner Qi.
A mass of blinding golden light quietly floated in Mo Wen’s pupils. It seemed as though there were two bright golden suns in his eyes.
A formless pressure spread out to the surroundings with Mo Wen as the center. Right now, Mo Wen’s imposing manner was not beneath that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. His soul power had reached the realm of a Beast King and had already surpassed ordinary human Martial Arts Grandmasters. With his enormous soul power, he could completely unleash the imposing manner of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
This was the first time that Mo Wen’ had fully activated his soul power since he had absorbed the Red Scaled Earth Dragon Beast King’s soul,
The formless wave emanating from Mo Wen did not extend outwards but instead surged into the Cries of Hades Bell. Its glow became brighter as it continually absorbed the waves.
The Beast King roared in anger as it realized it had missed its target and its prey had disappeared right before its eyes. Its huge figure rolled around in the lava sea, forming huge waves.
The next moment, its figure suddenly constricted and its long snake body began to curl up. A pair of crimson snake eyes looked furiously at the small purple bell in Mo Wen’s hands. It stared intently at it, a look of caution suddenly appearing in its huge eyes.
From the little bell in Mo Wen’s hand, it could sense a frightening threat.
Roar!
The snake type Beast King did not dare wait for Mo Wen to unleash his attack. It raised its head and a beam of blinding red light coalesced in its mouth. The mass of red light emanated more and more intense energy waves. It was a power that was enough to destroy any pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. It most probably would be difficult for even Martial Arts Grandmasters to block it.
The power of the Beast King greatly exceeded that of a human Martial Arts Grandmaster. With their huge monstrous beast figures, even an average Beast King could compare with a human Martial Arts Grandmaster of the second realm, the Realm of Clarity.
Of course, in a contest of pure power, it was impossible for an ordinary Beast King to be a match for a second realm human Martial Arts Grandmaster.
The fireball very quickly formed. In an instant, it floated out of the snake type Beast King’s mouth. With a sudden acceleration, it headed straight for Mo Wen.
The Cries of Hades Bell in Mo Wen’s hand suddenly emitted a clear ringing sound. The next moment, a formless wave covered the entire illusionary space. The wave began with Mo Wen at the center, but then the next moment, it shifted. It appeared on the snake type Beast King’s body, with the beast as the center.
Dong!
It seemed as though a heavenly drum had sounded from the nine heavens. It came directly crashing down to the mortal realm, smashing into the mind of the snake type Beast King.
In an instant, the snake type Beast King felt the earth and sky spin. Its mental capacity was completely severed. It had a dull look in its eyes. Its huge figure seemed to have lost all its strength. Its body began to free fall, smashing into the lava ocean below.
The illusionary snake tail cage surrounding Mo Wen was also instantly disrupted, disappearing quietly into thin air.
In the same instant, the fireball that the snake type Beast King had fired also appeared before Mo Wen. After using the Cries of Hades Bell to attack, Mo Wen could not evade in time at all.
However, he had already been prepared. A painting floated out from Mo Wen’s sleeve. Once it appeared, the illusionary mountain was once again formed. It reached up to the sky, enveloping Mo Wen within it.
The Beast King’s fireball crashed into the illusionary mountain. A huge rumble sounded. The heavens and the earth trembled. The shockwave formed caused the lava sea below to dip by two meters. The illusionary mountain shook, nearly falling apart completely after the first blow.
Just a second later, the illusionary mountain completely dissipated. It wasn’t that the painting scroll profound level weapon could not block the Beast King’s attack, but that Mo Wen did not continue to provide the ink painting profound level weapon with power.
The instant that the illusionary mountain fell apart, Mo Wen’s silhouette disappeared from its original spot. The next moment, lightning leaped on his body and a destructive aura suddenly welled up. Mo Wen’s power instantly increased to a terrifying level, almost approaching that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
It was the Glory of Thunder. Mo Wen had completed his cultivation of the first realm Brewing Thunder and so could finally display the frightening might of the Glory of Thunder.
Mo Wen dashed head-on into the center of the fireball’s explosion. Then, he emerged from the blast zone, furiously dropping down like a meteorite towards the surface of the lava sea, shooting towards where the snake type Beast King had fallen.
The Cries of Hades Bell combined with Mo Wen’s Divine Soul Trillion Layers had astonishing might. Even a Beast King would be unable to regain consciousness for at least three seconds after receiving such an attack. Also, its soul would certainly be injured.
When Mo Wen caught up with the snake type Beast King, it was still in a daze, unable to regain consciousness.
A black light shined from Mo Wen’s body. Then, a terrifying Cold Qi was suddenly released with him as the center. Within a radius of a kilometer, all the magma froze, becoming a dark brown substance.
The snake type Beast King’s body was half submerged in the magma ocean. The other half that had yet enter the lava was frozen instantly in mid-air by Mo Wen.
A mass of crimson light lit up on Mo Wen’s right hand. The Blood Clotting Claw appeared. His right arm became a dragon claw and brutally jabbed at the snake type Beast King’s head.
Mo Wen believed that no matter how tough the head of the snake type Beast King was, and no matter how strong its body was, it could not withstand a jab from the Blood-Clotting Claw.
Swoosh!
As expected, the Blood-Clotting Claw broke through the snake type Beast King’s skull in one blow.
However, just as Mo Wen was getting ready to use the Blood-Clotting Claw to wreak havoc and smash the snake type Beast King’s brains, a circle of crimson light suddenly emerged from the head of the snake type Beast King. The crimson light circle was an incomparably brilliant shade of red, as though it was the blood of a young maiden.
The crimson light engulfed Mo Wen’s Blood Clotting Claw, blocking off its power and causing Mo Wen to be unable to destroy the snake type Beast King’s brain.
Blood colored lines lit up suddenly on the skin of the snake type Beast King. These blood colored lines were rather radiant. Even if the snake type Beast King was completely red, it still could not hide the light of the blood-colored lines.
Mo Wen discovered that the crimson light of the blood-colored lines was constantly shifting upwards. All of the crimson light was gathering towards the snake type Beast King’s head. It surged towards the head and could be seen with the naked eye. After losing the crimson light, the blood-colored lines on the snakeskin immediately dimmed down.
The Demonic Spiritual Treasure had automatically protected its owner!
Mo Wen was shocked. The snake type Beast King had actually cultivated a Demonic Spiritual Treasure, and it was its own snakeskin.
However, this snake type Beast King clearly was not as powerful as the Fire Domain’s Peacock Beast King. Its Demonic Spiritual Treasure was only a semi-finished product and had yet to be completed.
Right now, because it felt that the main body was in life-threatening danger, it had automatically come out to protect it.
However, the snake type Beast King’s Demonic Spiritual Treasure was a semi-finished product and had come out to block Mo Wen’s Blood Clotting Claw. Hence, after it blocked Mo Wen’s Blood Clotting Claw, it certainly would be completely destroyed. Cultivating a Demonic Spiritual Treasure was no easy feat. It was equivalent to hundreds and thousands of years of effort being ruined in an instant.
The crimson light coalesced as the snake type Beast King’s head grew brighter and brighter. An astonishing pushing force suddenly crashed into Mo Wen, sending Mo Wen’s Blood Clotting Claw and his body flying backward.
Howl!
The snake type Beast King raised its head to the sky and let out an astonishing howl. It had finally completely awakened.
