Just as Mo Wen was preparing to go all out against the Beast King, the Primordial Soul Pearl in his mind suddenly changed.
The pearl in his declarative memory released a ray of blue light which swept across his mind and illuminated his entire consciousness. The blue light spread and rays of blue light emitted from Mo Wen’s forehead. The rays of light gathered together and turned into a blue eye.
The moment that the strange vertical eye appeared, the effects created by the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit immediately disappeared. It was as if something had blocked it, cutting off its power.
Mo Wen realized that his body had returned to normal. It did not feel stiff at all. Everything that happened in the last few minutes now seemed like a hallucination.
“So this is it!” A flash of understanding danced through Mo Wen’s eyes. He now realized that the snake-type beast king’s Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit had released a type of demonic skill similar to soul attacks. This type of demonic skill would not cause physical harm to one’s body but had a terrifying effect on one’s soul. Even with Mo Wen’s soul cultivation, he did not have the ability to retaliate against the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit.
Of course, the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit was a power way beyond Mo Wen. However, it had also triggered the Primordial Soul Pearl’s automatic protection capabilities. The Primordial Soul Pearl was made from the primordial soul of the medicine sage, Ji Wuya. It had a strong sense of perception and defensive capabilities against the soul attack that Mo Wen suffered. When necessary, it would appear automatically to protect Mo Wen’s soul from attacks.
After the Ancestral Demonic Sacred Spirit’s effect was completely halted, Mo Wen’s moves were no longer restricted.
The snake-type beast king turned into a flaming long dragon and shot towards Mo Wen. The horn in the middle of its forehead released a bright ray of light. It was like a flaming sword that heading forcefully towards Mo Wen.
In an instant, a light breeze surrounded Mo Wen and he disappeared from where he had been standing. He just managed to avoid the full frontal assault of the snake-type beast king. The snake-type beast king was visibly shocked. It had not expected Mo Wen to still have the ability to dodge. Hadn’t its Ancestral Demonic Sacred Spirit restricted the human’s abilities?
The snake-type monstrous beast had never once doubted the capabilities of its Ancestral Demonic Sacred Spirit. Even another beast king would not be able to block its effects, much less Mo Wen. That was unless the other beast king had an Ancestral Demonic Sacred Spirit to fight against him with.
Mo Wen’s figure shimmered and he appeared a hundred meters away. A glint of brilliant gold light appeared in his eyes. He held the Cries of Hades bell in his hand. It immediately released a stunning ray of light.
A crisp chime of the bell sounded. The sound rippled and covered the entire space. The ripple moved independently and collided viciously with the snake-type beast king.
The snake-type beast king’s head sank once more and it seemed momentarily disoriented.
Mo Wen, whose actions were no longer restricted, had already turned into a light breeze. He appeared next to the beast king.
The Blood Clotting Claw glinted with blood red light, releasing thousands of blade-like rays of blood-red light. They ferociously stabbed the snake-type beast king. Its enormous body felt as if it was under attack from a thousand directions at once. Each attack cracked through its snake scale armor, stabbing so deeply into its flesh that one could see its bones.
The snake-type beast king cried out loudly and pitifully. It twisted its enormous body and a large amount of blood splattered onto the ground and into the sea of lava. The drops of blood immediately evaporated and wisps of white mist emerged from the sea of lava.
Mo Wen’s face turned pale. He did not hesitate to take out a mid-grade recovery light from his medicine spiritual ring to recover his strength. He had pushed all his inner Qi into the Blood-Clotting Claw, unleashing an attack of terrifying strength. However, he had also been affected by the reflection of that strength.
The snake-type beast king’s enormous body twisted back and forth in mid-air. Its expression was one of pain. The snake king’s illusionary body that was like a mountain as it remained suspended in mid-air. However, it no longer posed any threat to Mo Wen.
“Die!” Mo Wen held the Sacred Fire Sword with both hands, bringing it down on the snake-type beast king’s neck. The Sacred Fire Sword pierced through the snake’s flesh. It was very sharp and cut halfway down the snake’s body, almost decapitating the snake-type beast king.
Roar!
The snake-type beast king was enraged. A ray of blood-colored light flashed in its mouth. One could vaguely see that the light seemed to come from a blood-colored bead.
The moment the blood bead appeared, the snake-type beast king released a stunning power. Flames spread out from it and an almost undefeatable power caused Mo Wen to fly into the air.
Mo Wen flew backward and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His complexion was very pale.
Demon Elixir!
The blood bead was the culmination of the snake-type beast king’s thousand-year cultivation. The demon elixir gathered the essence of the snake-type beast king’s cultivation.
Generally speaking, a demon elixir would gradually form in the bodies of monstrous beasts once they cultivate to the seventh rank. It was similar to the golden elixir of warriors in the Golden Elixir Realm. They were all highly condensed power embryos that would form slowly over time.
Both the golden elixir and the demonic elixir were all the beginning forms of inner elixirs. The inner elixirs at this stage could not be considered true inner elixirs.
A seventh rank monstrous beast, whether of the beginning or the pinnacle stage, would not be able to completely release the power in their demonic elixir, much less make it leave their body. They would not be able to do that even if their demonic elixir self-detonated.
This was something a warrior in the Golden Elixir Realm was not able to accomplish either, unless they went one step further and became immortal. Only then would they be able to fully grasp the power of the inner elixir. Otherwise, the golden elixir would at most become a source for their power. It could store inner Qi but was useless other than that.
However, a talented beast king was different. Monstrous beasts that cultivated until the Beast King Realm had reached the limits of a monstrous beast. It would be almost on the verge of developing some of the abilities of the Devil Clan. If a beast king continued to work on its demonic elixir over the years, it would be highly likely it could summon all the power in its demonic elixir. The demonic elixir might even leave its body and it would be able to deliver its most powerful attack.
Earlier, Mo Wen had encountered the Cold Attribute Plum Deer Beast King, which had been in the first stage of working on the elixir. Even though it could not push forth all of the power of its demonic elixir, it imitated the structure of its demonic elixir, creating a cold bead. The cold bead was a treasure that had formed over a long period of time. Even though it was not a demonic elixir, its structure was similar. Furthermore, the beast king had full control over it and was able to trigger it at the most critical moment, making it a powerful attack.
However, the cold bead could only be used once. It would disappear completely after one use while the demonic elixir could be used many times.
Of course, a beast king who could trigger the power of the demonic elixir was considered an extremely powerful existence even amongst beast kings.
Mo Wen had not expected that this snake-type beast king would be so powerful that it could control some of the power in its demonic elixir. Even though it did not have complete control over the power of the demonic elixir, it was still extremely terrifying.
With just a simple strike, Mo Wen found himself with several dozen broken bones from head to toe. His internal organs had also suffered serious injury. This was also after he had triggered his Indestructible Body of Vajrapani. If he had been another warrior who had broken through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm, he would have been struck dead. Even a martial arts grandmaster would not be able to defend himself against such terrifying power.
Mo Wen barely hesitated before taking a mid-grade healing light from his medicine spiritual ring. His body was enveloped by red light and he recovered from his injuries instantly.
After the snake-type beast king attacked using his demonic elixir, its aura immediately reduced by half. Its energy also weakened drastically. While the power of the demonic elixir was terrifying, there was a huge price to pay every time it was used. Furthermore, the beast king was unable to grasp the full power of the demonic elixir. As such, the price it had to pay was higher.
After forcing Mo Wen back with a single blow, the snake-type beast king, rather surprisingly, did not lunge at him again. Instead, it turned back and fled into the sea of lava. Even ants would not flee, but this highly intelligent beast king had.
“You can’t run away anymore.” Mo Wen harrumphed coldly. He had been injured several times during the battle with the snake-type beast king. How could he let it flee now?
There was a gentle breeze and Mo Wen caught up with the snake-type beast king. There was a flash of lightning and the Glory of Thunder was used unleashed once more by Mo Wen. The Blood Clotting Claw turned into a dragon claw, growing a foot and swiping viciously at the snake-type beast king.
The snake-type beast king was startled and it moved its head in a flash. It positioned its horn at Mo Wen’s Blood Clotting Claw and slammed at it heavily.
Crash!
The snake-type beast king was thrown into the air. The power released by the Blood-Clotting Claw was almost like the power of a martial arts grandmaster.
The snake-type beast king had suffered serious injuries one after another, and because it had used the power of the demonic elixir, its power had been decreased several folds. Its power had almost fallen below that of a beast king. It did not have healing light or recovery light.
Mo Wen’s figure shook and he moved back several meters before he gave chase again.
“You annoying human. Don’t try to push your luck…if you force my hand, I will pull you down into my grave with me.”
The snake-type beast king was a little anxious right now. It had not expected that a human warrior with lowly cultivation levels would have such astonishing combat ability. Furthermore, how did he have so many treasures? Even without those terrifying weapons, he also had those items that could replenish his strength and heal him. This was completely beyond its scope of understanding.
If not for this, it would have long killed the human warrior.
Mo Wen frowned. The beast king was not just threatening him. It definitely had the ability to kill him. It was a beast king that could control the power of the demonic elixir. Once it chose to fight without regard to its own life, the destructive power of its demonic elixir would be completely triggered. Then, it would die together with Mo Wen.
“You know that I am not just scaring you. You’d better not give chase.”
The snake-type beast king glared at Mo Wen and then continued to flee. It no longer had any will to fight at this moment.
Mo Wen looked at the snake-type beast king silently and did not do anything else. It was as if he was agreeing to let it go.
However, there was an invisible ripple that exuded slowly from Mo Wen with him in the center.
The ripples looked very slow but they immediately spread throughout the space around Mo Wen. They were heading straight for the snake-type beast king.
Just as Mo Wen was preparing to go all out against the Beast King, the Primordial Soul Pearl in his mind suddenly changed.
