The mass of spiritual fire had spirituality. It snuggled against the Dragon Horse’s side like a child snuggling against its mother. Its golden flames seemed not to radiate any heat, but the seawater below was already beginning to evaporate over a large area. In a short while, dark clouds covered the sun and enveloped a radius of a thousand kilometers. Rain fell from the sky. Without sound or presence, the spiritual fire had altered the weather of the area.
A look of astonishment flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. As expected of a spiritual being of the world, it possessed the power to change nature that even Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators would find it difficult to pull off.
“Only by killing us can you all walk out of this space alive. It is also the same for us.” The golden light on the Dragon Horse’s body became more and more powerful. The rain automatically parted around its body, and its divine aura became richer. The mass of sparkling golden spiritual fire suddenly landed on top of the Dragon Horse’s head, becoming a beautiful crown. It glittered brightly, as though it adorned the king of the world.
The Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King were to the left and right of the Dragon Horse. They slowly approached the human ancient martial art practitioners, the sky covered with their huge figures.
“You are on your own now. Since we have come to this, I cannot protect all of you anymore.” Nangong Mingzhu glanced at the few Martial Arts Grandmasters around her, who were also from Demonic Sky. Right now, she was not even sure whether she could make it out alive. She no longer had the ability to protect the few subordinates who had come with her.
This time, there was not an army of demonic beasts around. Yet, the danger faced by everyone far surpassed that of the previous stages. A careless mistake would render everyone dead. Even if they won in the end, most likely only a few of them would survive.
The human ancient martial art practitioners here came from various sects in the ancient martial arts world. There were seniors and juniors. A sense of tragedy gradually welled up in the hearts of everyone. Everyone knew that there would be a slim chance of survival in the trial ahead.
“Members of the Gao Clan, Golden Dragon Sect, Maple Forest Valley and Cold Light Pavilion, please come to my side.” Mo Wen let out a soft snort. A powerful aura was emanating from him. The terrifying Qi formed a tornado, clearing the area with a radius of fifty meters around Mo Wen. Those Martial Arts Grandmasters stepped back frantically, not daring to get near to Mo Wen.
The members of the clans who had been called by Mo Wen exchanged a glance. Then, without any hesitation, they moved toward him one by one.
The Gao Clan of Jun Wulei, the Golden Dragon Sect of Jin Ying, and the Maple Forest Valley of Pei Fengwu, all had links to Mo Wen. The others were not surprised when Mo Wen summoned them. But to everyone’s surprise, the Cold Light Pavilion was listed too. Since when was the Cold Light Pavilion related to Mo Wen?
The ancient martial art practitioners of the four factions that were called quickly gathered around Mo Wen. The members of the other factions had ugly expressions. Everyone could tell that Mo Wen had called them to his side right now with the intention of protecting them. In such a situation, only an absolute strong practitioner like Mo Wen was qualified to protect others.
A few factions that had no relationship with him, or even bore grudges to Mo Wen, were green with envy. If they knew that Mo Wen could reach such a level from the beginning, they would certainly have befriended this youth earlier on. But right now, all of this was crying over spilled milk.
Among the Cold Light Pavilion’s ancient martial art practitioners, aside from Lan Zhongzhi, the other ancient martial art practitioners revealed astonished looks one by one. They had not expected that they would be on this list of names. Did they have a relationship with Mo Wen?
“Quickly! Get over there,” Lan Zhongzhi said softly as he ordered his people with a look of joy in his eyes. He knew that the fact that he had proactively befriended Mo Wen before this and had given him the Cold Light Insignia that made Mo Wen friendly towards the Cold Light Pavilion.
After a while, more than thirty ancient martial art practitioners from the four factions all gathered around Mo Wen.
“Little friend Mo Wen, I am alone. Am I qualified to be on your side?” A grey light flashed and Tan Qiyue walked out from the crowd.
“Senior Tan is being too serious. Later, I will still need to join forces with you to defeat our strong foe together.” Mo Wen nodded his head. He naturally knew that Tan Qiyue did not want his protection, but instead intended to form an alliance. If they encountered any sudden situations, they could take care of each other. With Tan Qiyue’s ability, he would certainly be a strong force in battling the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings. The few with the most powerful combat ability were also in the most dangerous positions.
“You have no chance of winning. You’d better think about making arrangements for after you die.” The Peacock Beast King laughed coldly. The glow on its body became more gorgeous. It did not believe that this team of human ancient martial art practitioners could defeat them. Even if Lord Dragon Horse was not here, the Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King could also easily defeat everyone.
“The Giant Crocodile Beast King and the Fire Scorpion Beast King said the same. But right now, they are dead.” Mo Wen placed his hands behind his back. The wind and rain automatically avoided the space three feet around him.
“Then I will prove everything with results.” The Peacock Beast King’s expression changed. Its hostility exploded as its beautiful feathers lit up with beam after beam of light. The next moment, in the sky above, beams of illusionary feathers appeared. They seemed endless and were densely packed. Each illusionary feather contained enough power to kill an ordinary Beast King. The number of illusionary feathers could eliminate an army of Beast Kings.
The faces of all the human ancient martial art practitioners frantically changed color. Once the Peacock Beast King attacked, it did so with such a display. The Fire Domain’s Beast Kings such as the Giant Crocodile Beast King and the Fire Scorpion Beast King, could not compare. Also, it still was not the most powerful among the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings.
“Things will sort themselves out. There is always a chance of hope in the midst of despair. The Tower Spirit is not too cruel.” Mo Wen quietly sighed. He gradually extended his palm and four masses of light emerged from it. They became four crystal clear pocket-sized stratagem flags. They were the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem stratagem flags.
As soon as he had obtained the complete set of the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem, he had discovered everything there was to know about it. This stratagem was the chance of survival that the Tower Spirit had given the human ancient martial art practitioners. Otherwise, with their current ability, defeating such powerful Fire Domain’s Beast Kings was too difficult. Even if they won in the end, the cost would be unimaginable.
According to legend, the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem was an ancient divine stratagem. It had the ability to take control of the world as well as destroy immortals and slay demons. Its fame and reputation were known far and wide. Up until now, no one knew whether there were still people who recognized the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem. But in ancient times, everyone knew of it.
The Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem in Mo Wen’s hand was not the real Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem, but one that the Tower Spirit had replicated based on the original.
Mo Wen waved his hand and the stratagem flags of the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem flew out to the cardinal directions respectively. They stood tall between the heavens and the earth. As the wind blew, they kept growing larger. In an instant, each stratagem flag could block out the heavens and the sun. They had formed a sealed-off space that enveloped all the human ancient martial art practitioners and the three Fire Domain’s Beast Kings inside it.
A light flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes as he recited a rhymed formula. In an instant, the stratagem flags that blocked off the heavens disappeared, seemingly fusing with the surroundings. However, a formless light shroud still enveloped all around them, sealing off the surrounding space.
“Such sophisticated stratagem techniques.” A look of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the snowy white Dragon Horse. It glanced around, surprised. In just the blink of an eye, it was as though space and time had shifted. On the surface, they still seemed to be in the middle of the ocean, but the feeling was different.
Spreading its two wings, the Dragon Horse became a beam of golden light, flying out more than a thousand meters in an instant. After flying for a certain distance, it discovered that space and time had shifted and returned to its original position.
“As expected.” The gaze of the Dragon Horse was slightly serious. Before this, it had discovered that this space had undergone an unknown change.
The Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King were also cautious of their surroundings. They had not expected that the human ancient martial art practitioners would have such a trick up their sleeves. They could actually cause difficulties for the Lord Dragon Horse.
“Without destroying the stratagem, you can’t walk out of the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem,” Mo Wen said plainly.
“With your ability, you can’t unleash the might of this stratagem. It is not impossible for me to break the stratagem, but why do I need to do so? I can just kill you all and the stratagem will collapse on its own.” The Dragon Horse did not attempt to destroy the stratagem, which covered the heavens and earth. Instead, the creature turned its gaze on all the human ancient martial art practitioners. With its ability, the Dragon Horse could tell that it would be difficult to destroy this stratagem. Focusing energy on destroying the stratagem was putting the cart before the horse. The human ancient martial art practitioners might use this opportunity to attack the Beast Kings.
“You are clever. However, this stratagem is not just for capturing you.” Mo Wen smiled. His slender fingers drew out a mysterious ritualistic gesture. The next moment, a light flashed and the four miniaturized stratagem flags returned to his side: the fiery red Vermillion Bird Flag, the shimmering green Azure Dragon Flag, the dazzling White Tiger Flag, and the mysterious Black Tortoise Flag.
The four stratagem flags planted themselves in the space of the four cardinal directions, with Mo Wen as the center. The next moment, a colorful flash of light enveloped all of the human ancient martial art practitioners around Mo Wen. However, the other ancient martial art practitioners were all outside the circle of the stratagem flags. Only the four factions around Mo Wen were within the circle of the stratagem flags.
“Humph, I want to see what tricks these stratagem flags of yours have.” The Peacock Beast King coldly snorted as it spread its wings. In the sky above, countless illusionary feathers fell down like raindrops, densely crashing down towards the human ancient martial art practitioners.
Rumble!
Wave after wave of illusionary feathers attacked them. The illusionary feathers were like raindrops, falling on the colorful light shroud. However, the light shroud, which was formed from the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem, remained still. It protected all the human ancient martial art practitioners steadily.
The human ancient martial art practitioners, who were initially covered in cold sweat, instantly breathed a sigh of relief. With their current ability, even though they would not die under this wave of attack from the Peacock Beast King, they would surely deplete a rather huge amount of energy if they were to counterattack. Moreover, they could block this kind of attack once or twice, but continuously defending would be difficult. Moreover, who knew whether or not these terrifying Beast Kings would unleash attacks that could kill them in an instant.
Although they did not know what Mo Wen’s stratagem was and how powerful it was, the fact that they could block the first attack of the Peacock Beast King made quite a few people breathe sighs of relief.
“I do not believe it.” The Peacock Beast King had not expected that its attack would have no effect at all. Hostility welled up in its eyes. Seven especially brilliant feathers from its body flew up. They were the Peacock Beast King’s seven Demonic Spiritual Treasure feathers.
