In an instant, Gu Motian appeared ten thousand miles away. His expression was still shocked, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. In order to escape the terrifying heavenly fire, he was willing to unleash the self-mutilating forbidden release technique.
"Damn it."
Gu Motian was filled with rage. He, Gu Motian, had actually failed miserably. Under the burning of the heavenly fire, everything would be reduced to ashes. He hoped that the Immemorial Heavenly Serpent's remnant soul and the combination heaven spiritual treasure could withstand it. Otherwise, he would definitely return empty-handed.
He knew that once the heavenly fire erupted uncontrollably, even low-level sacred treasures could be reduced to ashes, let alone heaven spiritual treasures. The chances of nothing being left behind were too high. Also, the heavenly fire was also divided into levels. If the youth's heavenly fire was too powerful, the entire region of the territorial waters could be vaporized, turning the sea into scorched earth. It could even form a flaming mountain that would never be extinguished.
In the distance, the distorted flames grew more and more turbulent, seemingly causing the entire heaven and earth to distort. The terrifying aura still did not disappear. Instead, it became more and more intense. A distance of ten thousand miles was definitely not a safe distance. Even a hundred thousand miles might not be a safe distance. Gu Motian did not even think. He turned and fled, unleashing the Infinite Phantom Release to its limits. He hoped that he could escape from this area before the heavenly fire completely erupted.
In the sky, the remaining half of the body continued to advance slowly. Everywhere it passed, everything was reduced to ashes. Cracks also appeared in the ocean below. Wherever the heavenly fire enveloped, all the seawater instantly disappeared, causing a strange and huge empty space to appear in the center of the ocean.
If someone was here right now, they would certainly discover that although the heavenly fire on the other half of the body was spreading more and more wildly, the heavenly fire on the body was being compressed bit by bit. It was as though there was a huge invisible hand pressing down on the heavenly fire and then slowly withdrawing it into the body. In the blink of an eye, the heavenly fire on Mo Wen's body had completely disappeared.
At the same time, beams of mysterious white light emanated from the surface of his body. The light was rather gentle and gentle. It was not dazzling or ostentatious, but it seemed to be the center of the world and the source of all things. Although its light was not intense, it could illuminate the entire world, the universe, and all things …
Heavenly Path Sacred Light!
As Mo Wen's body bathed in the Heavenly Path Sacred Light, it rapidly recovered at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. In just an instant, his broken body had been completely restored. He was as tall and majestic as before.
If it weren't for the blood stains on his body, no one would have thought that he was injured.
"That was close!"
Mo Wen let out a long breath. He looked in the direction that Gu Motian had disappeared in the distance with lingering fear in his heart. Then, he quickly fled in the opposite direction.
This time, Mo Wen had indeed taken a considerable risk in order to scare Gu Motian away. Of course, it was impossible for him to truly perish together with Gu Motian. The scene just now was merely to scare Gu Motian away. Fortunately, his control over the Heavenly Fire was much stronger now. Otherwise, it would have been hard to say whether he would have been able to resolve the situation.
Mo Wen's Celestial Body was a Heavenly Path remarkable power. Of course, it was impossible for him to be killed so easily. Even if half of his body was destroyed by Gu Motian, with the foundation of the Heavenly Path in his body, he would be able to recover. Even if Gu Motian could not completely kill him in an instant, his Celestial Body could be continuously repaired. After all, his foundation was the Heavenly Path, the Heavenly Path that was above all other paths. If he could not affect the rules of the Heavenly Path, it would be impossible for him to interfere with the Heavenly Path, a power that could seize the creation of the heavens and earth.
Of course, there was a limit to everything. If Gu Motian continuously destroyed Mo Wen's body, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times … the damage would accumulate over and over again. In the end, Mo Wen would not be able to withstand it. Moreover, Gu Motian still had a power that Mo Wen was rather wary of. Mo Wen was not confident that he would not die under the attack of that power. Hence, he had managed to escape with his life.
Mo Wen's speed was astonishing. Once the distance between them was completely widened, it would be impossible for Gu Motian to catch up even if he unleashed the forbidden secret technique. In just a few breaths, Mo Wen's silhouette disappeared into the horizon.
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, Gu Motian stopped on a tall mountain. He looked in the direction of the ocean with a puzzled gaze.
The youth actually did not chase after him!
"That can't be!"
Gu Motian secretly suspected. Could it be that the youth did not want to drag him down with him before he died? With the youth's speed, if the youth went all out and caught up to him, Gu Motian could not guarantee that he would be unscathed even if he fled with all his might. Gu Motian knew that the youth's normal speed far surpassed his. The probability of the youth catching up to him was still very high.
"Could it be that something unforeseen happened along the way?"
Gu Motian frowned. He had been fleeing all the way here, but the youth did not seem to be chasing after him at all. Moreover, it was too calm! Based on the time, the heavenly fire should have completely erupted by now. However, it was frighteningly calm over there.
When the heavenly fire erupted, even if they were hundreds of thousands of miles away, it was impossible for there to be no movement at all.
"What's going on?"
Gu Motian stood on the spot, hesitating. Why did he feel that something was not right?
After another 15 minutes, there was still no movement in the direction of the distant ocean. Gu Motian finally could not sit still any longer. He transformed into a beam of flowing light and flew back.
15 minutes later, Gu Motian once again appeared in that region of the sea. The surroundings were calm and peaceful. There was no apocalyptic scene that he had imagined. If it wasn't for the aura of the heavenly fire still lingering in the air and the fact that some islands on the surface of the sea had mysteriously disappeared, he would even suspect that he had been hallucinating.
"The heavenly fire's eruption only has this much power?"
Gu Motian was somewhat at a loss. He looked at his surroundings. If the heavenly fire only had this much power, it was definitely impossible. Moreover, the flames on the youth's body were definitely heavenly fire. It was impossible for him to be wrong.
"Could it be?!"
Gu Motian suddenly thought of a possibility, and his expression instantly turned ugly. With a wave of his hand, he performed a mysterious ritual. Immediately, an invisible power spread out. In the surrounding space, tiny particles kept gathering. In the end, those particles gathered to form a drop of blood.
Gu Motian placed his palm on the drop of blood. Mysterious runes flew out from his hand and continuously tunneled into the drop of blood. Suddenly, the drop of blood seemed to come alive. It kept flying up and down, struggling violently. In the end, with a pop, it completely turned into nothingness.
"As expected, he is still alive."
Gu Motian's expression was extremely gloomy. He had actually fallen for the youth's trick.
"Damn it. How dare you trick me. The next time I meet you, I will definitely make you wish you were dead." Gu Motian clenched his fists tightly. Ever since he had started cultivating, he had never suffered a loss at the hands of a cultivator whose cultivation was far below his.
…
Tens of millions of miles away, a beam of blue light barged into a dense forest. Then, with a rumble, it seemed to violently crash into the ground.
The surroundings were in a mess. A youth whose body was stained with blood was lying on the ground, completely unconscious.
This person was none other than Mo Wen. Even though he had managed to escape from Gu Motian, his injuries had become terrifyingly severe. It was not that Gu Motian had caused him injuries. Gu Motian's injuries could be completely healed by the Heavenly Path Sacred Light and would not be affected.
The only thing that could injure him to such an extent was the heavenly fire. Although he had forcefully retracted the heavenly fire in the end, the heavenly fire that he had released to scare Gu Motian away was far beyond his control. If it were not for the fact that his control over the heavenly fire was getting stronger and stronger, he might have been completely burned to death by the heavenly fire if he had been careless.
Even the Heavenly Path Sacred Light could not heal the internal injuries caused by the heavenly fire. After all, his foundation in the Heavenly Path was still very shallow. It was not a complete law of the Heavenly Path.
In a primitive forest like this, there were savage ancient beasts lying in wait everywhere. Fainting in such a place could be considered rather dangerous.
After an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly a whooshing sound in the forest. A huge green snake that was as thick as a water bucket and tens of meters long slithered over. Its cold eyes reflected Mo Wen's silhouette on the ground.
Hiss!
The huge green snake opened its mouth wide, revealing a black snake tongue. It was obvious that this snake was extremely poisonous. Just as the huge green snake was about to swallow Mo Wen, there was a whooshing sound. A beam of crimson light shot over, accurately crashing into the huge snake's head.
Hiss!
The huge green snake let out two sharp cries. Its body twisted a few times before it fell to the ground violently. A dark red arrow was stuck in its head. The arrow was made of an unknown material. It was as red as blood and emitted a frightening heat. The surrounding dead trees and branches started burning silently under the heat emitted by the arrow.
The huge green snake's head was charred black. The snake soul hidden in its brain had been completely burned.
Whooshing!
In the forest a distance away, two silhouettes flew over at high speed. Very quickly, they arrived in front of the corpse of the huge green snake. The two silhouettes were rather vigorous. They wore the skin of an unknown animal and carried a longbow and quiver on their backs. They also had machetes on their waists. Clearly, the huge green snake had been killed by them.
"Father, there's another youth. Was he bitten to death by the snake?"
The person who spoke was a woman. She was tall and wore the skin of a leopard. Her vigorous and impressive figure was accentuated to the fullest. Her skin was the color of wheat. It was glossy and looked very healthy. She was not very beautiful, but her facial features were very three-dimensional. She gave off a rather strong sense of wildness.
Beside this woman was a burly middle-aged man. If he were in the main space, he would be a classic muscular man. He had bronze skin, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His gaze was very sharp, giving off a fierce feeling. The machete on his waist had already been unsheathed. Holding it in his hand, he slowly walked in front of Mo Wen.
The burly man carefully observed for a long time. After confirming that there was no danger, he squatted down to check on the youth's condition.
After checking, the burly man slowly said, "He has been unconscious for a long time. He was not injured by the huge snake."
Puff! At this moment, the wild-looking woman had already pulled out the arrow that was stuck in the huge green snake's head. She wiped off the blood stains on it, then put it back into the quiver.
Upon hearing this, the woman walked over curiously. "He's not dead?"
