Chapter 1025 - Instant Kill
Chapter 1025: Instant Kill
A year ago, when Mo Wen appeared in Li’an City, he was only at the Primordial Soul Realm. He was further from being an opponent for the Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader, Xue Chu. Mo Wen had barely escaped from Xue Chu’s grasp. After just one year, had Mo Wen actually trained up to the Tide Changing Realm? It was practically unbelievable. No matter how abnormal of a genius he was, it was impossible for him to be so ridiculously gifted.
The three members of the Petrification Cult had later stage Primordial Soul Realm levels of cultivation. Even compared with the Blood Evil Temple Leader Xue Chu, they would not be very much weaker than him, just slightly weaker than him at most.
In theory, any one of them could handle Mo Wen alone if they encountered him. With all three of them joining forces, they could even easily kill off Mo Wen.
“It definitely is Mo Wen. He looks exactly like his portrait. How could I possibly mistake him?” The black-robed elder claimed adamantly. As Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, it was impossible for them to have mistaken him. It was just that before this, he had not thought of Mo Wen. Now that he had pondered carefully, he immediately identified who this youth was.
“What do we do now? Elder Shao has not returned yet and the three of us cannot possibly hold off a Tide Changing Realm strong practitioner.”
Old Xu and Old Chen were also panicking. They had to believe what Old Wang had said. After all, having been together for such a long time, they were very familiar with one another. Old Wang was not the type of person who did not know the severity of a situation and would simply joke around. Since Mo Wen truly had Tide Changing Realm level of cultivation, then the three of them definitely could not stand against him.
A beam of white light faintly appeared on the horizon. After flashing a few times, it quietly appeared before them.
“Weren’t you all looking for me? Now that I have appeared, why are you afraid?”
A faint voice swept over within the breeze. It was very casual, but it creeped out the three members of the Petrification Cult. All the muscles in their bodies tensed up at the sound of it.
A youth dressed in white gradually appeared before them. His expression was indifferent; they could not detect any emotion in it. There was a perfect beauty standing beside him. Naturally, it was Pei Fengwu.
“Mo Wen!”
The three members of the Petrification Cult immediately recognized that the person before them was Mo Wen, the person whom they had come to the main space to search for. They never imagined that he would show himself now, waltzing up and appearing in front of them.
“Mo Wen, you actually dared to appear in front of us. Are you not afraid of dying?” Old Chen snapped while he appearing to look serenely at Mo Wen.
If before hearing Old Wang’s news, he suddenly met Mo Wen, Old Chen would certainly have been ecstatic and would have immediately attacked to capture him. However, after hearing the words of the black-robed elder, Old Chen was uneasy and he did not dare to rashly make a move. If Mo Wen truly had Tide Changing Realm level of cultivation, wouldn’t they be seeking death?
“Mo Wen, we Petrification Cult elders have been looking everywhere for you. You actually dare to reveal yourself to us. You really are reckless,” Old Xu also snapped. He hoped that they could intimidate Mo Wen into being more cautious. If they could scare him away, it would certainly be the best outcome.
“Hehe, you all have worked so hard to find me. I was abashed at the attention, so I decided to show myself now to save your troubles.” Mo Wen chuckled. He looked playfully at them. However, his gaze was as cold as winter.
Pei Fengwu also smiled slightly. Anyone could tell that even though the members of the Petrification Cult appeared serene on the outside, they were unemboldened inside.
“Mo Wen!”
“Sect Leader Mo!”
“Palace Lord Mo Wen!”
“Palace Lord Mo Wen has returned! My eyes are not deceiving me, right?”
“The Palace Lord has returned. The Palace Lord has come to rescue us.”
…
When the members of the Ming Palace who were hiding in the palace nearby saw Mo Wen, all of them became emotional. They did not dare believe that they were seeing that youthful silhouette. To them, that youth, that silhouette was their spiritual leader, the sustenance for their inner spirits.
Everyone had hoped that the Palace Lord could appear in time and rescue them from their predicament. They had not imagined that it had actually happened.
“He has come after all.”
In the crowd, Wang Yinru looked at Mo Wen’s silhouette with watery eyes. No matter when or how dangerous it was, that silhouette would always appear in the nick of time. However, she did not know whether that silhouette could weather through all storms. She had not wished for him to appear. She would have preferred that he kept hiding and did not come out.
Anyone could tell that the enemy the Ming Palace was dealing with this time was no pushover. The depth of the history of these people was unimaginable. The people who flew around in the sky like deities appeared one after another. For the members of the Ming Palace, their enemies had already broken their spirits and plunged them into endless despair.
Wang Yinru also did not know whether Mo Wen could still protect them. If even he could not protect the members of the Ming Palace, she preferred that he did not come and stayed hidden forever.
“Big Brother Mo.”
Su Wan’er clenched her small hand tightly. Two streaks of tears flowed from her eyes. Before this, no matter how much despair she felt, she had not shed a tear. However, now that she saw Mo Wen, she could not hold them back anymore. Initially, she really wanted to see him, but now she began to be deeply concerned. She would have preferred not having seen him.
The members of the Ming Palace burst into activity due to Mo Wen’s appearance. Many of them trusted and worshipped Mo Wen frenziedly. They believed that with Mo Wen’s appearance, their troubles would certainly be over. There were also some who were still very worried. It was because they were not certain whether their Palace Lord could deal with these immortal cultivators. There were others that were more concerned about Mo Wen’s safety and were feeling especially conflicted.
Mo Wen did not know what the members of the Ming Palace were thinking; he also did not have the time to ponder about that in detail. He merely smiled slightly at the members of the Ming Palace. He used his smile to give them a sense of security and trust.
“Weren’t you all looking for me? Now that I have come, what are you planning to do?” Mo Wen looked calmly at the three members of the Petrification Cult. Mo Wen knew that many sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm were looking for him. It was just that the Petrification Cult was ahead of everyone else.
The three members of the Petrification Cult glanced at each other silently. There was a look of caution in their eyes. If the situation was the same as before, finding Mo Wen should be a happy occasion. However, because of Old Wang’s words, they could not feel happy about it at all. If Mo Wen was truly as powerful as Old Wang had mentioned, what could they do? Elder Shao was not here; they could not hold Mo Wen back at all.
“Petrification Cult, I, Mo Wen, have not offended you. I have not even heard your sect’s name before this. However, you all seem eager for me to die immediately. Since that’s the case, I will play with you all for a while.”
Mo Wen looked indifferently at the three members of the Petrification Cult. Once he extended his hand, a terrifying aura burst out from his body. It seemed to be equal to that of a beginning stage Tide Changing Realm cultivator. It might even be more powerful. Even Mo Wen did not know what level he had reached ever since he emerged from the Creation Pool. Nevertheless, ordinary Tide Changing Realm cultivators were certainly no match for him.
“Such frightening aura. This pressure is that of the Tide Changing Realm. How is it possible? Has he truly reached the Tide Changing Realm?”
“Damn it! Damn it! How is it possible? A year ago, he was only at the Primordial Soul Realm. Has he trained up to the Tide Changing Realm after one year? That’s insane. Has the world gone mad?”
…
The facial expressions of the three Petrification Cult members changed drastically. Mo Wen’s advancement was too appalling; they dared not believe it. They were terrified by his arrival even more so.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Without hesitation, the three of them transformed into three beams of light and dispersed frenziedly. Should they stay to fight against a Tide Changing Realm strong practitioner? The only outcome that awaited them was death.
“The few worms are trying to escape.”
Mo Wen snorted. Back when he was in the preliminary ancient land, he could kill cultivators with great attainment at the Primordial Soul Realm easily. Now, it was impossible for a few later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators to escape from his hands.
A gigantic Tai Chi Diagram suddenly appeared in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, the diagram expanded to more than a thousand times its size, enveloping the entire fragmented space.
In the middle of the Tai Chi Diagram were two Yin Yang Fishes — one black and one gold in color. They swam around nimbly, emanating a mysterious and cosmic aura.
It was The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift, the remarkable power made known by Zhang Poxiao in the past.
Once this remarkable power was unleashed, it tightly trapped the surrounding space. Everything was locked in their positions like sand that fell into a swamp.
The three Petrification Cult members who were flying instantly froze in mid-air, unable to move an inch.
The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift was a small path remarkable power. Moreover, it was unleashed by Mo Wen with his current level of cultivation. Hence, it was highly unlikely for the cultivators at the Primordial Soul Realm to be able to defend against it.
“Die!”
Mo Wen snorted. The Yin Yang Fish in the middle of the Tai Chi Diagram turned slightly and the entire sky changed wildly, as though a grinding disc was rotating with friction.
The next moment, the bodies of the three Petrification Cult members turned into dust sprinkled in the air.
The entire space went quiet. Pei Fengwu stared at the scene, wide-eyed and speechless. Only after a long while did her brain register the fact that the enemies were dead! The three later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, who were terrifying people to the rest of them, had actually died in the blink of an eye. They had died so easily, as though they were but ants that were casually killed by a human’s hand.
Not only was Pei Fengwu stupefied, everyone from the Ming Palace was shocked too. They stared at the sky with a dumbfounded look, as though they were day-dreaming. Had the three terrifying immortal cultivators been killed?
Everyone had doubts in their head. Everything seemed so surreal.
“The Tide Changing Realm! That is definitely the power of the Tide Changing Realm.”
Ling Feng yelled out hoarsely in astonishment. He was previously also an ancient martial art practitioner from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. He had far more exposure and experience compared to the other members of the Ming Palace. Only Tide Changing Realm cultivators had such frightening power. Mo Wen was at the Tide Changing Realm? That was too unbelievable! More than a year ago, Mo Wen had yet to break through to the Primordial Soul Realm. How could he possibly have reached the Tide Changing Realm so quickly?
Even in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, Tide Changing Realm cultivators were unreachable beings. They stood among the upper echelons of the entire Immortal Cultivation world.
Pei Fengwu stared at Mo Wen speechlessly. She was suspicious as to whether Mo Wen had broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm or the Tide Changing Realm. She had not misheard it, had she?
Even in the Huatian Palace, those with Tide Changing Realm levels of cultivation had rather high positions. Only the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall Hall Leader had Tide Changing Realm level of cultivation. Above that was the Supreme Profundity Realm. Even in the Huatian Palace, there were not many of them.
“Are you all alright? I am truly sorry. All of you got involved in this situation because of me.”
Mo Wen took a step forward and appeared in the palace. He was very familiar with the prohibition stratagem in the Star Emperor’s palace. Naturally, he would not be impeded by it.
Speaking of which, everyone from the Ming Palace was innocent. The only reason why they had undergone this crisis was because of Mo Wen. Luckily, just in time, Mo Wen managed to rush back and prevent any major losses.
Mo Wen had to admit that Wang Yinru’s decision to hide here was in fact a wise one that saved them all.
“Mo Wen, quickly rescue Gu Jingman. There is another rather frightening elder from the Petrification Cult. Gu Jingman is most likely no match for that person.”
The crisis that had been looming over the members of the Ming Palace was resolved. However, there was still one person who was in danger. Wang Yinru fought back the desire to chat with Mo Wen and urged him to quickly go and rescue Gu Jingman.
