684 Fleeing Hastily (1/2)
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.
