Just as Mo Wen was prepared to fight to the death with the snake type Beast King, the Primordial Soul Pearl in his mind suddenly changed.
The Primordial Soul Pearl lurking in Mo Wen's declarative memory suddenly released a beam of green light. The light swept out and illuminated the entire declarative memory. A green light pattern spread out and beams of green light suddenly appeared between Mo Wen's eyebrows. The green light gathered together and became a green vertical eye.
Once the strange vertical eye appeared, Mo Wen discovered that the effect that the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit had on him had completely disappeared in an instant, as if it had been blocked by something.
He discovered that his body had returned to normal in an instant. He did not feel any stiffness at all. Everything that had happened before seemed to be an illusion.
"So that's how it is!"
A look of understanding flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. Only now did he know that the snake type Beast King's Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit had released a demonic technique similar to a soul attack. This kind of demonic technique would not cause any physical harm to the body, but it had a terrifying suppressive effect on the soul.
Even with Mo Wen's soul cultivation, he had no ability to resist the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit, let alone others.
Of course, the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit's power was many levels higher than Mo Wen's, but it also activated the Primordial Soul Pearl's ability to automatically protect its master. The Primordial Soul Pearl was formed from the Medicine Sage, Ji Wuya's Primordial Soul. It had a very strong perception and defensive ability against soul attacks that Mo Wen suffered.
When necessary, it would automatically protect Mo Wen's soul from being harmed.
After the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit's effect was completely interrupted, Mo Wen's movements were no longer affected.
The snake type Beast King became a flaming dragon and shot forward. The horn between its eyebrows released a boundless light. It was like an exceptional fire sword, viciously stabbing towards Mo Wen.
In a flash, a light breeze swept past Mo Wen's body. The next moment, his silhouette disappeared from his original spot, narrowly avoiding the snake type Beast King's all-out attack. The snake type Beast King was clearly stunned. It had not expected that Mo Wen would still have the ability to dodge. Mo Wen actually still had the ability to dodge at this moment. Didn't his Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit restrict his ability?
The snake type Beast King had never doubted the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit's ability. Even a Beast King, let alone a human ancient martial art practitioner like Mo Wen, would not be able to withstand the effects of the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit unless the Beast King also had an Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit to fight against him.
Mo Wen's silhouette appeared a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. A brilliant golden light lit up in his eyes. The Cries of Hades Bell in his hand shone brilliantly, releasing an astonishing radiance.
Dong!
There was a crisp ringing of a bell. Wave-like ripples instantly covered the entire sky. The ripples flowed on their own and crashed towards the snake type Beast King.
The snake-type Beast King's head sank once more, and its mind momentarily went into a trance.
At this moment, Mo Wen, whose movements were not affected, had already transformed into a gust of wind and appeared beside the snake type Beast King in an instant.
The Blood-Clotting Claw shone brightly and released a thousand rays of bloody light. The crimson light was like a sword. It turned into a waterfall and ruthlessly struck the body of the snake type Beast King. The snake type Beast King's huge body suffered thousands of attacks in an instant. Every attack broke through its snake-scale armor and cut deep into its flesh, revealing its bones.
Howl!
The snake type Beast King let out an earth-shattering wail. Its huge body kept twisting, and large amounts of blood splattered onto the ground, falling into the sea of lava. In an instant, all of the blood was vaporized. Wisps of white mist rose from the sea of lava.
Mo Wen's face paled slightly. Without hesitation, he took out a medium grade Recovery Light from the medicine spiritual ring and used it to recover his strength. Just now, he had activated all of his Inner Qi and channeled it into the Blood-Clotting Claw. Although the damage caused was astonishing, he had almost been unable to withstand the backlash of the power.
The snake type Beast King's huge body kept twisting in mid-air. Its face was full of pain. The mountain-like illusion of the snake type Beast King was still floating in mid-air, but it could no longer affect Mo Wen.
"Die!"
Mo Wen held the Sacred Fire Sword with both hands. Once again, he viciously slashed at the snake type Beast King's neck. The Sacred Fire Sword directly cut into the snake's flesh. With the sharpness of the Sacred Fire Sword, it cut halfway through, almost cutting off the snake type Beast King's entire head.
Howl!
The snake type Beast King completely went crazy. A beam of crimson light lit up from its mouth. One could faintly see that the beam of crimson light seemed to come from a blood bead.
Once the crimson pearl appeared, the body of the snake type Beast King released an astonishing power. Flames swept out and an almost unparalleled power directly sent Mo Wen flying.
Ptui!
Mo Wen flew backward in mid-air. In the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale.
A demon core!
The blood bead was the demon core that the snake type Beast King had condensed after a thousand years of cultivation. This demon core seemed to have gathered the essence of the snake type Beast's cultivation.
Generally speaking, when a monstrous beast cultivated to the seventh rank, it would gradually form a demon core in its body. It was somewhat similar to the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners' Golden Elixir. Both were highly concentrated and gradually formed power embryos.
However, regardless of whether it was the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners' Golden Elixir or the monstrous beast's demon core, they were both nascent forms of the inner core. The inner core at this stage could not be called a true inner core.
A seventh rank monstrous beast, regardless of whether it was at the beginning stage of the seventh rank or at the pinnacle of the seventh rank, could not completely release the power of the demon core. It was even more impossible for the demon core to leave its body. Even if the demon core self-destructed, it would still be impossible.
This was something that even ancient martial art practitioners in the Golden Elixir Realm could not do unless they advanced a step further and reached the realm of becoming immortal. Only then would they be able to completely control the power of the inner core. Otherwise, the Golden Elixir Realm would at most become the source of one's own power. It could be used to store Inner Qi. Other than that, it had no other use.
However, some Beast Kings with extraordinary talent were different. When they cultivated to the Beast King realm, they had already reached the limit of monstrous beasts. They could faintly touch some of the abilities of the Devil Clan. If a Beast King studied its own demon core for many years, it was very likely that it could completely activate the power of its demon core. It could even cause the demon core to leave its body and unleash its strongest attack.
Before this, Mo Wen had encountered the Cold Sika Deer Beast King in the first stage. Although it could not completely activate the power of the demon core, it had imitated the structure of the demon core and created a Cold Pearl. The Cold Pearl was also a treasure that had been condensed over many years. Although it was not a demon core, its structure was similar to that of a demon core. Moreover, it could be completely controlled by the owner. At a critical moment, it could be activated and become a rather terrifying attack.
However, the Cold Pearl was only a one-time item. After it was used, it would disappear completely. On the other hand, the demon core could be used multiple times.
Of course, Beast Kings that could activate the power of the demon core were rare existences, even among all the Beast Kings.
Mo Wen had not expected that this snake type Beast King would be so abnormal. It could actually control a portion of the power of the demon core. Although it could not completely control the power of the demon core, just a portion of the power was already extremely terrifying.
It was just a simple collision, but Mo Wen discovered that more than ten bones in his body had broken. His internal organs had also suffered serious injuries. He had activated the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani. If it had been an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm who had broken through, he would most likely have been smashed to death in an instant. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would most likely not be able to withstand such terrifying power.
Mo Wen practically did not hesitate. He took out a medium grade Healing Light from the medicine spiritual ring. The red light enveloped his body and his injuries instantly healed.
After the snake type Beast King activated the demon core and unleashed an attack, its aura immediately weakened by half. Its spirit also became extremely dispirited. Although the power of the demon core was terrifying, it had to pay a high price every time it was released. Moreover, it could not completely control the power of the demon core. The price was even greater.
After forcing Mo Wen back with one attack, the snake type Beast King did not pounce on him again. Instead, it turned around and actually turned around to run, heading straight for the magma sea below. Even ants tried to live, let alone a highly intelligent Beast King.
"You can't escape."
Mo Wen coldly snorted. Since fighting with the snake type Beast King, he had been injured time and time again. How could he let the Beast King escape now?
With a light breeze, Mo Wen caught up with the snake type Beast King. Lightning flashed on his body and he once again unleashed the Glory of Thunder. The Blood-Clotting Claw that had transformed into a dragon claw suddenly grew by a foot and viciously stabbed towards the snake type Beast King's head.
The snake type Beast King was shocked. It nimbly shook its head and aimed its single horn at Mo Wen's Blood-Clotting Claw.
Rumble!
The snake type Beast King was sent flying. Right now, the power released by the Blood-Clotting Claw was almost at the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
The snake type Beast King had been severely injured one after another. Because it had used the power of the demon core, it had been weakened repeatedly. Its power had almost dropped below the level of a Beast King. It did not have heaven-defying items like the Healing Light and the Recovery Light.
Mo Wen's figure shook and he retreated tens of meters. Then, he once again gave chase.
"You despicable human. Don't push your luck. If you push me too far, I will drag you down with me."
Right now, the snake type Beast King was also a little anxious. It had not expected that a human ancient martial art practitioner with mediocre cultivation would have such frightening combat ability once he unleashed it. Also, how did he have so many treasures on him? Those terrifying weapons aside, the items that could instantly recover all of his power and injuries were simply beyond the scope of its understanding.
If not for that, it most likely would have killed this human ancient martial art practitioner long ago.
Mo Wen frowned. This Beast King was not exaggerating. It really might have that ability. It was a Beast King that could control the power of the demon core. If it did not care about its own life and death and completely unleashed the destructive power of the demon core, it would be enough to take Mo Wen down with it.
"You know that I am not trying to scare you. You'd better not give chase."
The snake type Beast King glared at Mo Wen fiercely. Then, it continued to run. Right now, it no longer had any will to fight.
Mo Wen looked at the snake type Beast King silently. He did not make any more moves, as though he had tacitly agreed to let it leave.
However, a formless ripple was quietly released with him as the center.
The ripple seemed very slow, but it instantly crossed the distance of space and caught up to the snake type Beast King. (To be continued.)
