Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The others might not have known that the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower was a rather terrifying demonic instrument in the Demonic Sky, but it was impossible for Chu Yuan not to know. He had often interacted with the Demonic Sky Clan and knew it well. The tower was renowned far and wide, and its name struck fear in the hearts of many.
According to legend, the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower was the pinnacle treasure in the Demon Realm. Its existence was akin to immortal treasures. For tens of thousands of years, it had dominated the Demon Realm.
The Crimson Jade Miniature Tower in Nangong Mingzhu’s hand was not an immortal treasure of legend but a replica of the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. It was a magical treasure that replicated the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. Although it was only a replica, its might was rather frightening, far surpassing that of ordinary magical treasures.
Legend had it that in the Demonic Sky, there were five replicas of the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. Even the replica with the lowest rank was a superb-grade profound-level weapon. The remaining four were all spiritual treasures. To Chu Yuan’s surprise, the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower replica, a superb-grade profound-level weapon, was in the hands of Nangong Mingzhu. The Demonic Sky must have high hopes of her. Otherwise, they would not have given her the replica of the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Giant Crocodile Beast King struggled desperately. Its power could usually cause mountains to collapse; right now, though, it was helpless. The bloody chains seemed to be held by the hand of God. No matter how hard it tried, it could not struggle free.
What was more frightening was that this bloody chain was like blood vessels. It actually broke open its scales and dug deep into its flesh, feeding on its Qi, blood, and energy. As time passed, its power was growing weaker and weaker. In the end, it would very likely be sucked dry.
“Despicable!” Anxiety welled up in the heart of the Giant Crocodile Beast King. It gave up struggling and instead summoned all its strength, transferring it into the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure. The Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure, which was a thousand meters long, suddenly shrank into a bone sword just a hundred meters long. Then, the sword crashed forcefully into the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower, which was floating in mid-air.
The Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure’s attack power was astonishing. Once it collided with the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower, it immediately emitted a huge rumbling sound that shook the heavens and the earth. The Crimson Jade Miniature Tower trembled violently, seemingly trying to absorb the shockwaves. It could very likely be sent flying at any moment.
Ptui! Nangong Mingzhu’s face paled, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her aura was instantly reduced by half. The attack of the Giant Crocodile Beast King was very strong. The rebound of its attack actually passed through the Crimson Jade Miniature Tower and caused her to be severely injured. Even though the might of the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower replica was formidable, her physical strength was still weak when compared to the cultivation of the Giant Crocodile Beast King. If it was not for the help of her treasures, she would not be a match for this Giant Crocodile Beast King at all.
“Mo Wen, what are you waiting for?” Nangong Mingzhu clenched her teeth together as she frantically activated her power, using the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower to trap the Giant Crocodile Beast King. At the same time, she used a top-grade Healing Light. The severe injuries that she had just suffered immediately healed.
Rumble!
Rumbling sounds could be constantly heard. The Giant Crocodile Beast King seemed to have gone crazy. It again activated the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure to attack the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower replica in mid-air. Each time it attacked, Nangong Mingzhu would be severely injured. Under normal circumstances, she would most likely have died from the shockwaves after three or four hits. However, she had enough top-grade Healing Lights, and by constantly using them to treat herself was able to withstand the attacks that kept surging forward.
The Crimson Moon Demonic Tower replica was rather difficult to deal with. The Giant Crocodile Beast King already felt the threat of death. The longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for it. The bizarre, bloody chains were constantly feeding on its Qi, blood, and energy, like hundreds and thousands of ducts that were draining it of blood. If this continued, it would very likely be killed by Nangong Mingzhu.
Moreover, she had Mo Wen, who was equally hard to deal with, beside her. The Giant Crocodile Beast King felt the fear of imminent death well up inside.
Bolts of lightning flashed past. Mo Wen’s figure appeared above the Giant Crocodile Beast King. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in his hand emanated dazzling lightning. An image of the Divine Spear, a thousand meters long, appeared in the sky. The image of the Divine Spear was a thousand meters long. Compared to the gigantic Giant Crocodile Beast King, the image of the Divine Spear was enormous. Mo Wen had transferred all his energy into the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. For the first time, he did not keep any power back, instead, attacking with all his might. He had activated the power of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear almost to its limit.
At the moment, Mo Wen did not even have any spare energy to defend himself. He did not even have the strength to activate the illusionary mountains. If the Giant Crocodile Beast King attacked him right now, Mo Wen would most likely be killed by just one shot and crushed into a powder.
This kind of battle technique was rather risky. It was equivalent to cutting off all means of retreat. However, Mo Wen believed that Nangong Mingzhu could hold the Giant Crocodile Beast King back for him. With her wisdom, she would know that right now, he could not be attacked.
When two people joined forces, only by not holding back could the team unleash the strongest power. Since Mo Wen had chosen to combine forces, he would trust his teammate for once. Of course, he had kept a trick up his sleeve as well. Even if Nangong Mingzhu could not block the Giant Crocodile Beast King, he would have ways to protect himself. With his personality, it was impossible for him to put his life completely into the hands of another person.
Bolts of lightning flashed in the heavens and earth. The image of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, which was a thousand meters long, emanated an unparalleled pressure. Everything turned silent.
Nangong Mingzhu narrowed her gaze, seemingly understanding Mo Wen’s intention for a one-shot kill. Her expression turned serious. With a wave of her hand, masses of light quietly flew out and floated in the air beside her. Many more Healing Lights appeared. She had no intention of conserving them.
The expression of the Giant Crocodile Beast King changed drastically. Its figure trembled uncontrollably. The attack unleashed by this human youth was incredibly strong. The Beast King could clearly sense that if it faced the attack head-on and failed to stop it, the power of the image of the Divine Spear would be enough to kill it instantly.
“You all go too far.” The Giant Crocodile Beast King raised its head to the sky and roared. The Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure that had become a bone sword shot out. It no longer attacked the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower replica and instead headed straight for Mo Wen. The Beast King knew that if it did not stop Mo Wen, it would very likely die at his hands.
It had never imagined that two human ancient martial art practitioners would be able to corner it in such a manner.
With a turn, the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure broke free from the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower replica and dashed towards Mo Wen. However, the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure had not flown very far when the crimson moon that had been coalescing all this while over the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower replica suddenly shot out. It actively sought the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure, closely pursuing it. In an instant, it had caught up with the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure and engaged it in battle.
The crimson moon was five hundred meters long. Although it was formed from coalesced energy, it was astute and quick beyond compare. When it struck the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure, it was not at a disadvantage.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The crimson moon turned into a crimson blade, exchanging frantic blows in mid-air with the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure. The crimson blade stopped the Giant Crocodile Beast King from attacking Mo Wen.
Every time the crimson blade collided with the Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure, Nangong Mingzhu spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face turned ghostly pale. She kept using the top-grade Healing Lights so that she would not be killed by the rebound of the Giant Crocodile’s attacks.
The Giant Crocodile Beast King was extremely enraged. To its surprise, the woman would rather be severely injured than allow it to attack the human youth. The Beast King also had not expected that the woman would have so many of those bizarre red lights that seemed to heal them.
The humans could instantly recover from their injuries. Under such circumstances, it could not kill her off instantly, meaning it was almost impossible to kill her. Despair filled the eyes of the Giant Crocodile Beast King. It would never have imagined that the human ancient martial art practitioners would own such formidable items. Right now, it could not be sure whether the Tower Spirit was on the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings’ side, or on the human ancient martial art practitioners’ side.
The image of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, along with its destructive power, came crashing down. Everywhere it passed, the space was distorted. Everywhere within a radius of a thousand meters was filled with a formless pressure. The bodies of the Beast Kings which were nearby gradually disintegrated. They could not withstand the aftershock of the pressure at all.
“No!” The Giant Crocodile Beast King let out a frightful cry. Its body was trapped by the strange Miniature Tower. Its Ancestral Bones Spiritual Treasure was held down by the woman as well. It couldn’t dodge or retaliate. It could only wait for its death.
The intense fright caused the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s eyes to be filled with blood. Its body shook intensely and began to expand. It seemed as though the Giant Crocodile Beast King was getting ready for one final attack. However, a light suddenly flashed past the replica of the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower, which was in mid-air. The thousands of bloody chains sucked forcefully on the Beast King. Instantly, half of the energy that the Giant Crocodile Beast King had accumulated was sucked away.
Nangong Mingzhu’s figure shook. She almost fell from the sky. Just now, she had absorbed half of the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s energy, transferring all of it into her body. Such a huge amount of energy had caused her body to almost break down.
The expression of the Giant Crocodile Beast King instantly turned sullen. It had not expected that this woman would be so ruthless. She would harm herself in order to return it to its original form.
The image of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear struck downwards. Without facing any resistance, it directly struck the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s head.
Rumble! Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed. A mass of thunderclouds enveloped the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s thousand-meter-long body. Explosions kept going off as the destructive power covered the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s entire body.
“Lord Dragon Horse will not let you go…”
In the thundercloud, the Giant Crocodile Beast King unwillingly let out a roar. Then, its body collapsed, turning to dust in the terrifying lightning storm.
Nangong Mingzhu’s body shook slightly. Then, not being able to withstand it anymore, she dropped down from the sky. Her legs and arms suddenly exploded from within. Just now, she had absorbed half of the power of the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s counterattack. Such a huge amount of power could not be converted in time by the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower replica. It could only flow back into her body, nearly tearing her to shreds.
Mo Wen wielded the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. With a wave of his hand, a lightning chain shot out and wrapped around Nangong Mingzhu’s slim waist. He pulled Nangong Mingzhu into his arms and placed his palm on her back, absorbing half of the power in her body into his own. The terrifying power entered his body, instantly severely injuring Mo Wen.
But at the same time, he activated two top-grade Healing Lights. Red light enveloped both of them. Their injuries immediately began to heal, and Nangong Mingzhu quickly grew back her limbs.
The power in Nangong Mingzhu’s body was huge. A top-grade Healing Light could not heal it, but using a superb-grade Healing Light seemed a bit of a waste. Hence, Mo Wen had transferred half of the destructive power in Nangong Mingzhu’s body into his own. That way, two top-grade Healing Lights were enough to heal them.
