706 The Final Challenge (1/2)
The heavens turned dark. A dark red fire cloud descended from the sky. The fire cloud seemed to cover the entire sky.
A peerless pressure reverberated all around. It felt as though the sky had fallen. Everywhere, everyone was struck with awe and wonder.
Mo Wen raised his head and looked at the fire cloud in the sky. It was likely that only the Tower Spirit could pull off such a feat.
Mo Wen had just killed a pinnacle monstrous beast. The starlight became a sea of starlight, frenziedly surging into Mo Wen's body.
After all the starlight had been absorbed, Mo Wen discovered that his current cultivation was now comparable to a second realm Martial Arts Grandmaster. However, he was only equivalent in terms of cultivation. He did not have the Heart of Clarity of the second realm Martial Arts Grandmasters.
The Tower Spirit's voice slowly sounded. ”The final challenge will soon commence. All human ancient martial art practitioners, please prepare yourselves.”
After another seven to eight minutes, the human ancient martial art practitioners in the space disappeared one by one. In the blink of an eye, all the human ancient martial art practitioners had disappeared from their original positions.
Space and time both shifted. When the human ancient martial art practitioners saw the scene before them, they were all shocked and stunned.
All of them, including Mo Wen, had appeared on top of the fire cloud.
The fire cloud was enormous, and no edge could be seen. A huge number of densely packed monstrous beasts crawled on it. When the human ancient martial art practitioners appeared on the fire cloud, the monstrous beasts stood up one by one. Their movements were like waves, spreading wide and far.
All the human ancient martial art practitioners appeared in an empty space that was less than a thousand square meters wide. Aside from the empty space, everywhere else was full of monstrous beasts.
Mo Wen glanced around his surroundings. He noticed that there were around two hundred and seventy human ancient martial art practitioners. Even the ones with the lowest cultivation were at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. The Martial Arts Grandmasters among them were actually the majority. There were around one hundred and eighty of them.
He discovered that Pei Fengwu, Jun Wulei, and the other youths had also risen to the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster. Their bodies emanated rather powerful auras.
Although Martial Arts Grandmaster cultivation in this space was not true cultivation, their experiences in the Fighting Spirit Tower would have unimaginable benefits for their future practice. After all, it was equivalent to them walking down a path that they had previously walked. Naturally, they would encounter fewer bumps along the way.
Of course, this space and the memories of Mo Wen's own practice in his previous life were not the same. The Fighting Spirit Tower simplified too many things. It was impossible for everything to be exactly the same as it was in real life. Hence, wanting to break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm still required fate to be on one's side. Of course, compared to ordinary ancient martial art practitioners, the chances of them becoming Martial Arts Grandmasters were certainly a bit higher.
Mo Wen nodded his head. The power of a hundred and eighty Martial Arts Grandmaster realm human ancient martial art practitioners was significant. Against the strengthened versions of the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings, they should have a shot at victory.
Aside from the younger generation of ancient martial art practitioners, Mo Wen's main concern was still the senior Martial Arts Grandmasters. They were the center of this challenge. Even if Pei Fengwu had risen to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm, her combat power would certainly not be a match for strong practitioners who were already Martial Arts Grandmasters.
As expected, each of the Martial Arts Grandmasters had rich cultivation. They emanated auras of outrageous power. Nobody knew how much stronger they had become since the beginning of the contest. Most of these Martial Arts Grandmasters most likely had Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm combat ability.
Of course, Mo Wen was most concerned about the top strong practitioners such as Nangong Mingzhu, Chu Yuan, Tan Qiyue, Granny Jin Hua and Wang Changhan. Even among the Martial Arts Grandmasters, these people were rather famous, especially Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan, who were mysterious immortal cultivators.
However, Mo Wen could not read the cultivation of Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan. He instinctively felt that they had both reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm in terms of combat ability. Aside from them, Tan Qiyue and the other strongest human Martial Arts Grandmasters had also reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm in terms of power.
Of course, their third realm was not the real third realm. They were only at the third realm in terms of power. It was impossible for them to have the enlightenment and spirituality of the Realm of Wisdom.
Among the human ancient martial art practitioners, debates began to sound. Everyone was nervous about the next challenge.
”There are so many monstrous beasts. It is practically a sea of beasts. It is too frightening.”
”Aside from the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings, other illusionary beasts have appeared in the final challenge. As expected, things are more difficult than we imagined.
”All the monstrous beasts here are seventh rank and above. There are even a large number of Beast Kings. Fortunately, we had a final day of double rewards that raised the cultivation of everyone. Otherwise, with the power of these illusionary beasts, who knows how many will die.”
At the same time, people were also somewhat excited. As long as they passed the final challenge, they could leave this strange Fighting Spirit Tower.
Originally, there had been more than three hundred human ancient martial art practitioners, but only around two hundred and seventy were on the fire cloud. Where had the other fifty to sixty people gone? The only possible explanation was that they had died before making it through to the final challenge.
Among the Ming Temple team, many people had sullen expressions. They had discovered that Hou Jingfeng had not appeared on the top of the fire cloud. Earlier on, the members of the Ming Temple had discovered that they could not contact Hou Jingfeng. They couldn't even find him after sending people out to look for him. At first, the members of the Ming Temple did not think much about it. After all, this space was very strange and it was possible that Hou Jingfeng might be in a special situation such as being held up in a certain place or he was carrying out a certain task.
Hou Jingfeng's failure to appear on top of the fire cloud left only one possibility. They now realized that he must have died long ago in this space.
”Hou Jingfeng is dead. How is this possible?” The Ming Temple's Second Sect Grand Elder had a hideous gaze. He glanced around the surroundings with an expressionless look. Everyone could feel his fury. The ancient martial art practitioners of the Ming Temple fell silent. None of them dared to say a word.
