709 The Be (1/2)

Above the cloud of fire were demonic beasts that were flying through the air. They were everywhere. Warriors who did not have high enough cultivation levels might be surrounded and killed by the demonic beasts at any time. Some human warriors had already fallen. They had not even encountered the beast king of the Fire Domain but death and injury had already occurred. Everyone realized the seriousness of their situation. Even if they successfully defeated the seven beast kings of the Fire Domain, how many of them would die doing so?

Fortunately, human warriors had three major light tools they could use. Otherwise, the mortality rates would be even greater.

”Benefits?”

Nangong Mingzhu's eyes gleamed and then, she replied. ”Whoever loses must help the other party in the future, when the situation allows.”

”That's a promise.” Mo Wen's lips lifted in a smile as he looked at the Fire Scorpion Beast King. Since Nangong Mingzhu had chosen the Fire Snake King, then the Fire Scorpion Beast would be his opponent.

”What arrogance. We don't even know who will be the one doing the killing.”

The Fire Scorpion Beast King laughed coldly. A mysterious pattern slowly appeared on its back. It was a realistic-looking dark blue colored scorpion that took up the entirety of the beast king's back. It continued to spread outwards and was soon much larger than the thousand-meter-long Fire Scorpion Beast King.

The dark blue colored giant scorpion was 5000 meters long and covered the Fire Scorpion Beast King's body, enveloping him completely.

”The Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit.”

Mo Wen's pupils shrank. The Fire Scorpion Beast King had an Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit. Mo Wen could sense a terrifying threat on the enormous dark blue colored scorpion. The threat he felt from it continued to grow.

”Insignificant humans. Do you think you can kill me? Die!”

The Fire Scorpion Beast King flew into the air and looked at Mo Wen coldly, extending its left arm forward. The 5000-meter-long dark blue scorpion on its back extended its pincer, swiping viciously towards Mo Wen. It was like a pillar that descended from the sky.

The clouds of fire on the ground's surface shook and rolled. The illusionary beasts around it could not bear the terrifying pressure. All of them exploded.

At that moment, not a single demonic beast dared to approach the circle of battle where the Fire Domain beast king was. Even some demonic beasts at the level of beast king did not dare to approach.

The scorpion pincer that was 1000 meters long fell forward. Mo Wen felt as if there was a mountain that was smashing down from above. An unprecedented pressure pressed against his body.

”How powerful.”

Mo Wen was shocked. The Fire Scorpion Beast King's Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit was very powerful. It could kill ten beast kings at the pinnacle stage in mere seconds.

Furthermore, the power of the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit released a gust of power that sealed the space around it. This led to a large decrease in Mo Wen's speed. He did not have time to dodge the massive pincer at all.

Mo Wen pursed his lips, the intention to battle firing up in his eyes. The stronger the pressure, the higher his will to fight. A ray of cyan-colored light flew out from his sleeves and a picture scroll expanded. Then, the illusion of a mountain appeared and enveloped him within it.

At the same time, Mo Wen's body shone with a ray of starlight. The hazy starlight turned into clouds of stars. The appearance of clouds of stars was the successful completion of the first stage of the Glory of Cloud.

The enormous pincer fell, hitting the clouds of stars. The clouds rolled, the light gradually dimmed and the clouds shrank.

Moments later, the clouds disappeared completely. However, the glow of the 1000 meter scorpion pincer also dimmed by half.

The pincer continued to smash down. When it collided with the illusionary mountain, it only caused the illusion to shake dramatically. It did not break through its defenses.

Mo Wen's face turned pale. He had already used a large portion of his inner Qi against the pincer's attack. If his cultivation levels were not high enough to be comparable to that of a second realm martial arts grandmaster, the pincer would break through his defenses in just a little while longer. Then, his body would be pulverized.

The Fire Scorpion Beast King looked at Mo Wen in shock. This human had not died despite facing the attack of the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit. The defensive capabilities of this human were unnatural.

The expression of the Fire Scorpion Beast King turned grave. With its current cultivation levels, it could not use too much of the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit Power. He could use it four or five times at most. After all, the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit was a Demon Clan ability. It was rare for a beast king like him to be able to use the power. If the tower spirit had not purified its bloodline, it would never be able to trigger the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit power in its blood.

”You are indeed powerful. But the power you have received was not cultivated by you. You can only use half of your powers at most.”

Mo Wen looked at the Fire Scorpion Beast King that was suspended in mid-air. There was a flicker of silver light and the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared in his hands once more. Even though the powers of human warriors increased quickly, they had received the power bit by bit from killing demonic beasts. A significant amount of combat could increase their powers speedily.

However, it was different for the seven major beast kings of the Fire Domain. They had not experienced battles and honed their skills through them. Instead, their power had increased by ten times suddenly. They would find it hard to fully expend the powers they had in such a situation.

Through their exchange earlier, Mo Wen could sense that the Fire Scorpion Beast King had not expended its full powers. Otherwise, it would definitely be more powerful considering its current cultivation levels.

”Even though I cannot use all my powers, but I am still much stronger than ordinary beast kings at the pinnacle. It is more than enough to kill you.” The Fire Scorpion Beast King harrumphed coldly. Its powerful cultivation had given it unmatched confidence.

Mo Wen smiled but did not speak. There was a flicker of blue light in his hand and a top-grade recovery light broke open. Mo Wen's cultivation immediately recovered to its peak.
