Lan Zhongzhi and Tan Qiyue both looked at Bu Xingyi. Their eyes held unfriendly gazes. It was as Gao Hanshan had said. Bu Xingyi had been holding them back. In both the first stage and second stage he had dropped the ball.
They could not blame him for failing the third stage, with his ability. However, they knew he had hoped that Mo Wen would also fail and that they would fail the entire task. That would be his heart’s desire.
“Gao Hanshan, you better not make slanderous accusations.”
Bu Xingyi’s expression changed slightly. He indeed hated Mo Wen, but he had never thought of intentionally failing the task. Gao Hanshan had accused him of such a heinous intent of huge implications. If word of it got out, Bu Xingyi’s reputation would be ruined. It would even affect the image of the entire Ming Temple.
Gao Hanshan laughed coldly. “Slanderous accusations? Humph, then tell me, of what I said just now, which part is not true?”
Bu Xingyi’s expression turned completely sullen. He pouted and said nothing. He knew that he had misspoken just now and Gao Hanshan had caught on to that. If he continued to argue, it would only serve to make things worse.
“If he encountered a Pinnacle Beast King, that most likely would be very difficult…” Nangong Mingzhu sighed, lowering her gaze and quietly waiting for the final result. Right now, there was still an hour until the task ended. She had no hope for Mo Wen completing the task, but she wanted to see how long he could still hold up.
In a mountainous region of Beast King Island, Mo Wen was wandering around. A large pack of Beast Kings was chasing him. From time to time, Beast Kings emerged to block his path. They lay in ambush everywhere: on the ground, in the sky above and hanging from the cliffs.
However, with mountains in the way, the attacks that Mo Wen received at the same time were reduced to a minimum. He was able to use his abnormal cultivation to easily slip between the encirclement of the Beast Kings. For a while, they were at an impasse.
Mist surrounded Mo Wen and starlight sparkled. He constantly unleashed the Glory of Cloud and the Glory of Wind. He had familiarized himself with the two rite of passage martial arts. He became more nimble and had greater variability. He was as swift as thunder.
Time passed slowly. Mo Wen did not realize that there were less than fifteen minutes left. As time passed, more and more Beast Kings surrounded Mo Wen. He was the only human left on the entire Beast King Island. It seemed that he had attracted all the Beast Kings to him.
The mountain region’s topography was perilous and, against the Beast Kings’ hunt, the pressure on Mo Wen grew larger. Everywhere he looked, he saw the mountains collapsing and the ground rupturing.
Luckily, he did not encounter a second Pinnacle Beast King. If he had done, it would have been difficult for him to survive.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
In the sky, a fierce bird dived downwards. Its huge claws reached for Mo Wen as it created a whirlwind.
A purple light flashed in Mo Wen’s hand. The attack of the Cries of Hades Bell was instantly released. The fierce bird’s figure froze. Mo Wen leaped upwards, as the Blood-Clotting Claw released a crimson light. As the crimson light flashed, he tore the fierce bird type Beast King’s wing cleanly off.
Large amounts of blood rained down from the sky. The fierce bird screamed but did not fall. Furiously flapping its other wing, it instantly rose high into the sky.
Mo Wen looked regrettably at the fierce bird, but he did not have the opportunity to kill it with one further blow. If he flew high into the sky, he would certainly be surrounded by large amounts of bird type Beast Kings.
His body turned as he flew down into the valley. A huge flaming claw slashed past beside him, nearly landing on Mo Wen.
Next, a long sword that looked like a blue stretch of silk shot up from the ground, heading straight for him.
Mo Wen’s body twisted and he miraculously evaded the attack. From above and below, Beast Kings would occasionally attack him. However, it was very difficult to land a hit on Mo Wen.
He flew into a valley. Then, before he had stabilized himself, a bloody mouth appeared there. It seemed to have been waiting for him to descend.
The Sacred Flame Sword in Mo Wen’s hand flashed. A beam of Sword Qi shot out, instantly traversing a thousand meters. It headed straight for the owner of the bloody mouth.
The mouth’s owner moved quickly. An ink green snake tail shot up to the sky. Its body shone with a dark light. With a furious swipe, it sent Mo Wen’s Sword Qi flying.
Mo Wen did not bother with it, turning and flying off in the other direction.
Time continued to pass slowly. Mo Wen’s luck was not bad. He avoided encountering Beast Kings that were too powerful. After Mo Wen had thrown the Wyvern Beast King off, no other Pinnacle Beast King found him again. This made Mo Wen breathe a slight sigh of relief. If Pinnacle Beast Kings had kept appearing, the Tower Spirit would have been too cruel.
Ding dong!
A bell suddenly rang in the sky. The next moment, a beam of white light descended. It enveloped Mo Wen’s body and instantly sucked him away.
Mo Wen saw a blur before him. When Mo Wen could see his surroundings clearly again, he discovered that he had already shifted into a different space and time, once again appearing in the mysterious galaxy.
The Tower Spirit spoke. Its voice came fluttering down from the distant galaxy. “Congratulations, you have lasted until the end and have successfully completed the double task. Because of your excellent performance, you will receive additional rewards.”
A beam of starlight shone down. The pillar of starlight enveloped Mo Wen’s body.
Mo Wen felt as though he had been dunked in warm water. It was rather comfortable. He was reluctant to leave the starlight.
However, aside from being warm and comfortable, he did not notice anything different. What was this Tower Spirit’s reward?
An incredulous look flashed in his eyes. He closed them and tried sensing in detail, but still could not detect anything.
After an indeterminable amount of time, the starlight pillar gradually dissipated. Mo Wen did not know whether he was imagining it, but after it dissipated, the entire galaxy seemed to have dimmed by quite a bit. After he had examined it in detail though, there still seemed to be no change.
Mo Wen examined his body and similarly did not notice any changes. His cultivation had not increased, his flesh had not grown stronger, and his soul was not more powerful.
Huh?
Mo Wen initially thought that he had not undergone any changes, but soon noticed that his mind seemed to be working much faster. He could also sense the surrounding objects much more clearly.
He sensed that inside his own declarative memory, there was another spiritual aura. The spiritual aura could not be explained easily. One could not touch it, but Mo Wen felt a difference. His entire person seemed to have a spiritual aura.
Spiritual Aura Light!
Mo Wen’s eyes flashed with a look of joy. Could it be? He thought of a possibility, however, he wasn’t certain.
Just as he was feeling incredulous, another three beams of light descended from the sky. Three crystals were enveloped within them. One was silver, another red and the last was white.
A superb grade Unsealing Light, superb grade Healing Light and a Disaster Avoiding Light!
Mo Wen was shocked. Aside from the Spiritual Aura Light, the Tower Spirit had also rewarded him with three light tools.
There was a superb grade Unsealing Light that he had dreamt of among them. It could unseal top grade profound level weapons and superb grade profound level weapons.
As for the superb grade Healing Light, it was also an absolute treasure that could resurrect the dead. It was equivalent to having an additional life.
The Disaster Avoiding Light stunned Mo Wen. This was the first time he had heard of the Disaster Avoiding Light. Could it be that there were other unknown light tools aside from the three he knew?
When he touched the Disaster Avoiding Light, he was shocked by its effects. It could eliminate any damage once. No matter what the damage was, it would absolutely cancel it out!
Mo Wen took a breath. The Disaster Avoiding Light belonged to a group of special light tools. They did not have any grades, but their effects were rather astonishing.
On the surface, absolutely eliminating any damage once, regardless of what damage it was, seemed to not be too impressive. But in reality, the function of the Disaster Avoiding Light was larger than a superb grade Healing Light.
If he encountered an attack that was too powerful and his body was instantly disintegrated down to the tiniest atom the superb grade Healing Light would not be able to resurrect him. It would mean that he was truly dead. But the Disaster Avoiding Light could eliminate such an attack. No matter how powerful the attack, he could safely avoid an attack without suffering any injury.
“I wonder. Are there are other special light tools?”
A strange idea came into Mo Wen’s mind. Since a special light like the Disaster Avoiding Light had appeared, were there other special light tools too? However, it would be rather difficult to obtain such special light tools. It would most likely be more difficult than obtaining superb grade light tools.
Mo Wen retrieved the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear from the medicine spiritual ring. Lightning flashed on the surface of the Divine Spear as it emitted a strong aura.
The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was a superb grade profound level weapon. It had peerless might. Even he did not know how powerful it would be if it was unsealed.
Mo Wen pointed his finger. The silver crystal became a beam of silver light that melted into the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.
The next moment, the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear flashed brightly with silver light. The blinding silver light almost engulfed Mo Wen.
A sharp roar sounded. Silver light flashed and the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear flew up high into the sky. The next moment, thunder roared and lightning flashed. Countless silver arcs filled the galaxy, like snakes made of lightning.
Hiss! Hiss!
A huge illusion of a Heavenly Serpent appeared in the starry night. The Heavenly Serpent was huge beyond compare, and tens of thousands of kilometers long. It traversed the galaxy, going around the moon and the stars. One could not see its end with their own eyes.
Below the illusion, a king cobra formed from lightning appeared. The fierce and majestic king cobra danced in the thunder clouds. It was mysterious and lifelike.
In the galaxy, one by one, the stars suddenly shined brightly, far more beautifully than the others. The beautiful starlight formed a chain, forming an even larger Heavenly Serpent made of stars.
The illusion of the Heavenly Serpent, the Heavenly Serpent made of stars and the king cobra formed of lightning, all these strange phenomena came together and filled the entire galaxy.
A look of awe flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. Unsealing the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear had caused such a majestic scene. How could a superb grade profound level weapon be so powerful? Even Mo Wen felt that it was somewhat unreal. The strange phenomena before his eyes were astonishing.
Mo Wen wasn’t sure how long the phenomena were present for, but eventually, they began to disappear. Lightning flashed once more and the king cobra flew down from the thundercloud, lightning surrounding its body. It circled Mo Wen a few times, and then turned into the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, appearing before Mo Wen.
A beam of light shot out from the galaxy, enveloping Mo Wen’s body. The next moment, he disappeared from the galaxy, shifting through space. When he could see his surroundings, he had already appeared on the altar in the outside world.
