Chapter 663

Mo Wen had not expected that he would actually encounter a Dragon Bloodline monstrous beast like the Red Shelled Earth Dragon. Compared to the huge Demon Clan, monstrous beasts with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan were still very rare.

However, the Beast King seemed to be a descendant of the Red Shelled Earth Dragon. The level of its bloodline inheritance was very low. It could not be said to be a true Red Shelled Earth Dragon. Otherwise, with the Beast King's cultivation, it would most likely have successfully become a demon long ago.

Mo Wen cautiously walked towards the white jade treasure box in the center of the altar. He did not know what was so strange about this altar. Right now, he could only take it one step at a time.

Based on Mo Wen's experience, the Beast King had indeed suffered very serious injuries and had fallen into a deep slumber.

Under such circumstances, as long as the Beast King's life was not threatened, it would normally not wake up.

If the danger in the altar did not come from the Beast King, then what was it?

For a moment, Mo Wen was also somewhat puzzled.

When he was within fifty meters of the white jade treasure box, suddenly, a terrifying beast roar sounded. The roar shook Mo Wen to the point of dizziness. He subconsciously took a step back.

The Beast King had woken up?

His expression changed drastically. He furiously looked at the Beast King. He saw that the Beast King's body was glowing with a red light. The red light set off its crimson scales. It was rather bright.

A mass of flames silently flew out from the Beast King's head. It was a mass of scorching flames the size of a washbasin. Within the flames was a mass of silhouettes that were constantly changing. It was a miniature illusion of a monstrous beast. It was only the size of a palm, but it emanated a terrifying energy wave.

The Red Shelled Earth Dragon!

Mo Wen's pupils constricted. He could tell at a glance that it was a miniature version of the Beast King. It was exactly the same as the Red Shelled Earth Dragon on the ground.

Or rather, it was the soul of the Red Shelled Earth Dragon. It was the soul of a Beast King.

Only Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators could manifest their souls and release them from their bodies. Even Martial Arts Grandmasters did not have this ability. Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators cultivated their souls into Primordial Souls. Only then could their Primordial Souls leave their bodies.

Otherwise, if their cultivation was insufficient and their souls were forced out of their bodies, they would be destroyed. They would never be able to reincarnate.

Logically speaking, in the Demon Realm, only the Demon Clan had the ability to manifest their Demon Souls. Even a Beast King monstrous beast could not do it.

How did this Red Shelled Earth Dragon do it?

Mo Wen was certain. The Red Shelled Earth Dragon before him was not a member of the Demon Clan. It only had the cultivation of a Beast King.

Roar!

The Beast King's Demon Soul floated out slowly. Then, it raised its head to the sky and roared. There was a flash of red light. The fist-sized Demon Soul suddenly grew in size, becoming a huge Red Shelled Earth Dragon. Although it could not compare to the main body, it was still one-third the size of the main body.

Waves of majestic soul aura constantly emanated from the Red Shelled Earth Dragon's Demon Soul. The soul power, which seemed to have a physical form, caused even Mo Wen to be shocked.

Mo Wen's soul power was not low. However, compared to this Red Shelled Earth Dragon, it was much weaker.

An out-of-body experience. So that was how it was.

Right now, Mo Wen finally understood what danger lay within the altar.

The Beast King's Demon Soul! Although it was not a complete Beast King, the Beast King's Demon Soul that could materialize was still a fatal threat to ordinary ancient martial art practitioners.

No wonder Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan had been defeated so quickly. Their souls had also been severely injured and they had fallen unconscious.

Most likely, after they entered the altar, they encountered the terrifying Beast King's Demon Soul. He encountered the terrifying Beast King Demon Soul and almost died at the hands of the Beast King Demon Soul.

The Beast King couldn't wake up because it was heavily injured, but it could leave its body to intercept the enemy. This was probably the last hurdle of the mission.

Although Mo Wen did not know what the Beast King had relied on to achieve the Demonic Soul leaving its body, his expression relaxed.

To ordinary ancient martial art practitioners, its threat was far above that of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts. Its threat was far above that of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts. This kind of soul attack was an attack on the soul. It was practically impossible to defend against. If one's soul was not strong enough, it was very easy for one to be severely injured.

However, Mo Wen smiled relaxedly. His cultivation might not be high, but his soul power was not lower than that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Even some ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters could not compare to him. Although it was not as powerful as the Earth Dragon Demon Soul before him, it was not easy for the Beast King's Demon Soul to do anything to him.

Roar!

The Beast King's Demon Soul twisted. Then, its red crystal-like eyes released two beams of enchanting red light that suddenly shone on Mo Wen's body.

Two masses of golden light appeared in Mo Wen's eyes. The golden light was like two suns. Mo Wen merely blinked his eyes and it was as if nothing had happened. The soul light released by the Beast King's Demon Soul was still unable to pose a threat to him.

The Beast King's Demon Soul clearly had not expected that its soul light would actually be useless against a human ancient martial art practitioner. Didn't he only have later stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivation? How could he possibly block its soul attack?

A look of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Beast King's Demon Soul. When it reached the level of a Beast King, not only was its intelligence no lower than that of humans, but it could also speak the human language and communicate with humans. As for those from the Devil Clan who were a step further, they could even transform into human form. After transforming, they looked no different from humans on the surface.

Mo Wen ignored the Beast King's Demon Soul. After confirming that the Beast King's Demon Soul was unable to threaten him, he boldly walked towards the white jade treasure box in the middle of the altar. As long as he took the white jade treasure box, his task this time would be completely completed.

"Roar! Damned human, you covet my treasure. You deserve to die! "

The Beast King's Demon Soul had not expected that this human ancient martial art practitioner would actually directly ignore it, minding his own business and walking towards its treasure.

It was simply unbearable. The Beast King was enraged. With a flash of red light, it pounced towards Mo Wen. It wanted to kill this human's soul and then hang his corpse in front of the city gate.

Humph!

Mo Wen coldly snorted. His eyes shone with golden light. A formless ripple instantly spread out with him as the center.

With Mo Wen's current cultivation, the soul attack power of the Divine Soul Trillion Layers could even slightly disrupt a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Against a soul body like the Beast King's Demon Soul, its power was naturally even greater.

The formless ripple crashed into the Beast King's Demon Soul. The Beast King's Demon Soul's figure trembled and suddenly stopped. It was stunned and could not pounce towards Mo Wen again.

Right now, Mo Wen had already walked in front of the white jade treasure box. He extended his hand and grabbed the white jade treasure box. The white beam of light from the technique gradually dimmed and then slowly disappeared.

"How dare you! Put down my treasure!"

When the Beast King's Demon Soul saw that its treasure had landed in someone else's hands, it immediately became anxious. Its eyes were red and masses of frightening soul power emanated from its body. The frightening aura was enough to make a Martial Arts Grandmaster feel suppressed.

"I will kill you, you bandit!"

Roar!

The Beast King's Demon Soul let out a shrill roar. The next moment, its figure had already appeared in front of Mo Wen. Beams of red light kept flashing. It was like a resplendent sun.

A formless ripple emanated from Mo Wen's body. He had originally wanted to use the Divine Soul Trillion Layers to send the Beast King's Demon Soul flying again.

However, the Beast King's Demon Soul had unleashed some unknown power. It actually only paused for a moment. Then, it broke through Mo Wen's soul attack and pounced on Mo Wen.

Mo Wen's body trembled, and his expression immediately turned serious.

The Beast King's Demon Soul did not have a physical body. Once it pounced on Mo Wen, it burrowed into his body and charged towards his declarative memory.

Once the Beast King's Demon Soul took control of his declarative memory, Mo Wen's entire body would be controlled by the Beast King.

If it were an ordinary ancient martial art practitioner, they would almost certainly die at this moment. This was because when an external soul invaded one's body, only a similar soul power could withstand it.

The soul power of a Beast King was very powerful. Ordinary ancient martial art practitioners naturally would not be able to withstand it.

However, Mo Wen's soul power had already exceeded the scope of ordinary people's understanding. Moreover, he had also cultivated a Primordial Soul Trillion Layers, a Primordial Soul secret technique.

Just as Mo Wen was preparing to use his own declarative memory as a battlefield and have a good battle with the Beast King's Demon Soul, an accident suddenly happened.

The Beast King's Demon Soul had just barged into Mo Wen's declarative memory and had yet to find the essence of Mo Wen's soul when an azure sun suddenly rose from the vast declarative memory.

The azure sun released a brilliant light that illuminated the entire declarative memory. At the same time, it also enveloped the Beast King's Demon Soul.

A vast and boundless soul power poured down, instantly enveloping the Beast King's Demon Soul.

The Beast King's Demon Soul, which was flying at high speed, instantly froze, unable to move.

The Beast King's Demon Soul's expression froze, as though it had been hit by a Body Fixing Spell or had instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

"No … no …"

The Beast King's Demon Soul's eyes were filled with terror. It screamed hysterically. It continuously tried to struggle, but it could not move at all.

The azure light descended and swept past the body of the Beast King's Demon Soul. The Beast King's Demon Soul shattered inch by inch, turning into specks of light that dissipated in the boundless declarative memory.

A golden light flashed and Mo Wen's soul appeared in the vast declarative memory. He looked at the body of the Beast King's Demon Soul that was slowly dispersing. His face revealed an expression that he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

The Primordial Soul Pearl!

The azure sun was the Primordial Soul Pearl that Ji Wuya had passed on to him not long ago in the Devil's Heart Palace.

The Primordial Soul Pearl contained Ji Wuya's inheritance and the power of his Primordial Soul. It had always been hidden in Mo Wen's declarative memory. Before this, although Mo Wen had passed Ji Wuya's test and obtained his inheritance, he had only inherited a little bit of alchemy knowledge. It could even be said that he had not obtained Ji Wuya's true inheritance at all. At most, he had only learned a little bit of the technique.

That was because with his current cultivation, he could not come into contact with things at Ji Wuya's level. The alchemy techniques that he had learned from Ji Wuya were only the basics and only scratched the surface.

The Primordial Soul Pearl contained the power of Ji Wuya's Primordial Soul. Since it had acknowledged Mo Wen, it would protect Mo Wen's declarative memory. The Beast King's Demon Soul that had barged into Mo Wen's declarative memory could be said to have met with great misfortune. It was seeking its own death.

However, Mo Wen had not expected that the illusionary beast's Beast King's Soul would actually cause the Primordial Soul Pearl to attack. Could it be that the life created by the Tower Spirit had already reached the stage where it could pass off the fake as the real one?

After the Beast King's Demon Soul dissipated, Mo Wen felt that his declarative memory had become much more substantial. Even his soul had received great benefits. It was as though he had absorbed the soul of a Beast King. He felt that his soul power had increased by a large margin. (To be continued.)
