618 Giant Crocodile Beast King (2/2)
He had once been a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. He had some experience of breaking through to the Golden Elixir realm. But his current situation was different from his previous one. He was now practicing three martial arts methods simultaneously. If he wanted to coalesce a Golden Elixir, he needed to find an equilibrium between these three methods.
The only way for Mo Wen to break through to the Golden Elixir realm would be by testing different methods out to see what worked. There had never been a situation where someone practiced three martial arts method simultaneously. He also did not how to coalesce a Golden Elixir in such a situation.
Of course, it was not that Mo Wen had no experience at all. He naturally had confidence in doing so if he dared to practice three martial arts method simultaneously. Even with the heritage of the mysterious Jade Buddha statue, which also gave him a lot of guidance, he still had to figure things out himself, progressing bit by bit.
To put it bluntly, what Mo Wen lacked was time. He believed that, given time, he certainly could break through to the Golden Elixir realm. But right now, time was against him.
Up till now, Mo Wen's cultivation had always broken through very rapidly, almost skyrocketing. Although he could increase his cultivation in a short amount of time this way and improve his ability, it was not without its disadvantages. The greatest disadvantage was that his martial arts method realm and the martial arts teachings realm could not keep up with his cultivation.
His martial arts teachings realm was one thing. He had enough martial arts teachings and did not need to practice each and every one of them to the standard of a high realm. This was especially the case now that he had the three Glory techniques.
But it was different for his martial arts method realm. His martial arts method realm was deeply connected with his cultivation.
For example, the Nine Yang Divine Technique and the Nine Yin Divine Technique had seven levels each. They were divided into seven realms, each realm having different mysteries.
Although Mo Wen's current cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm, his martial arts method realm was only at the fourth level. If he did not increase the realm of his martial arts method, then the difficulty of breaking through to the Golden Elixir realm would be much harder than before. It may even be impossible.
That was because breaking through to the Golden Elixir realm was different from the other realms. It required coalescing a Golden Elixir inside one's body and a very high martial arts method realm.
”Although I did not break through to the Golden Elixir realm, at least my cultivation has increased a little.” Mo Wen sighed. Although he had failed, his Inner Qi was now quite a bit denser. Compared to before, he was slightly more powerful. Consuming all those medicines had not been in vain. If it was an ordinary pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioner, they most likely would have broken through to the Golden Elixir realm.
Mo Wen opened his eyes. He discovered that the monstrous beast corpses before his eyes had accumulated into a small mountain. Blood had dyed the small island red, but a three-meter radius from where Mo Wen sat cross-legged was immaculate. Not a speck of blood had stained the area.
Nearby, the Black Gold Puppet stood like a small mountain. Its black and gold metallic figure gave off a majestic look.
In the three days that had passed, the Black Gold Puppet had killed an immeasurable amount of monstrous beasts. There were probably hundreds of corpses on the ground, but the puppet's body remained bright and clean, being unstained by any contaminants.
Mo Wen swept a glance across the ground. The monstrous beasts were mostly fifth and sixth rank. Occasionally there were a few seventh rank monstrous beasts, but their levels were not high.
”Nicely done.” Mo Wen subconsciously uttered these words. For three days, he had not been disturbed at all. The Black Gold Puppet's contributions could not be overlooked. However, he also knew that the Black Gold Puppet could not understand him at all. It only knew how to follow orders and complete its mission.
Rumble! Just as Mo Wen was preparing to take the Black Gold Puppet and begin his journey to find the whereabouts of the spiritual fire, the magma ocean near the small island suddenly emitted a loud sound. Waves rose to the sky and magma splashed. A huge creature gradually floated up. First, a head appeared. The head was the size of the island beneath Mo Wen. It was a hundred meter square in area. It was followed by an entire body floating to the surface of the ocean.
It was a giant crocodile that was unbelievably huge. Its entire body was black and red, and it was clearly extremely ferocious and aggressive, like a prehistoric behemoth. It seemed to Mo Wen that the Giant Crocodile could swallow him and the small island whole.
”A Fire Domain's Beast King!”
Mo Wen's expression changed slightly. He could tell from the aura coming from the Giant Crocodile's body that this terrifying monstrous beast was certainly an existence at the level of a Fire Domain's Beast King. Its overwhelming and terrifying aura was far superior to that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
”A mere human actually dares to kill so many of my kin? Die!”
A voice came from the Giant Crocodile. It was like rumbling thunder, seemingly shaking even the sky. Its bloody mouth suddenly opened wide, furiously spraying out a dark red pillar of light.
The pillar of light was scorching hot, its temperature several tens of thousands times hotter than the magma. Everywhere the red light passed touched seemed to be burned red by it, even the sky.
Mo Wen felt a frightening suppression descend upon his body. He felt as though he was carrying a large mountain on his shoulders. Even he could not withstand shaking a little. The pressure was definitely much more frightening than a Martial Arts Grandmaster's. It was the pressure from an ancient, ferocious beast.
