719 The Dragon Horse Appears (1/2)
A salty breeze blew past and a salty smell swept over them all. There was an endless ocean as far as the eye could see. The ocean waves churned over tens of thousands of kilometers. There was no end in sight. They seemed to be in the middle of the ocean, with water all around them.
Flying high in the sky, one could occasionally see reefs and small islands. There were seabirds flying across the sky above and there were schools of fish leaping in the waters below.
It was no different from an ordinary ocean.
The human ancient martial art practitioners appeared one after another above the ocean. Mo Wen estimated that the human ancient martial art practitioners numbered around 230 people.
Clearly, quite a number of people had died in the second stage.
He sighed. In the beginning, more than three hundred human ancient martial art practitioners had entered the Fighting Spirit Tower. Right now, before they even reached the end, they had already lost a third of them. More than a hundred people had already died.
In the sky above, a golden light shone. The beam of golden light was initially very far away, like a brilliant sun. As time passed, the golden light got closer and closer, its halo also growing bigger and bigger. A silhouette was situated at the center of the golden light, barely visible.
”What is that? It is so beautiful.”
”Could it be the legendary Pegasus?”
”Such a noble and holy horse. It would be great if I could make it my pet.”
Although the golden light was blinding, many ancient martial art practitioners who had pretty good eyesight could make out the barely visible silhouette in the light circle. Discussions immediately arose. They temporarily forgot that they were about to face the third stage challenge. The creature in the light circle was too beautiful. Some women had eyes sparkling with little stars. They couldn't wait to immediately hug the creature. Even the men felt stunned by its beauty, let alone the women. It was clearly a demonic beast, but it gave off an unparalleled sense of beauty.
”The Dragon Horse!”
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. He raised his head and looked at the golden light. In the mass of light, there was a horse that was as immaculate as jade. The horse had a healthy and vigorous figure and was pure white without any trace of color. It had a pair of pure white feathered wings on its back that measured more than ten meters when outstretched. On its forehead grew a single horn that was white jade with a golden spiral texture on it. Its four hooves stirred up winds and flashed with golden light, as though it was stepping on four brilliant golden suns.
The horse emanated a holy divine aura from its entire body, as though it was the purest creature in the world.
”That is the legendary Dragon Horse?”
A black light flashed and Nangong Mingzhu appeared beside Mo Wen. She looked at the mass of light in the sky, a serious look flickering in her eyes. Although the Dragon Horse was beautiful, it was definitely the most dangerous existence among the Fire Domain's Beast Kings.
Dragon Horses were rather rare. They were different from a demonic beast such as the Flaming Dragon Colt. A Dragon Horse usually had a rather pure dragon clan bloodline. Even if it wasn't a pureblood Dragon Horse, it would not be too weak. It was not something that demonic beasts such as the Flaming Dragon Colt and the Inferno Dragon Colt could compare with.
In the sky above, without sound or presence, two other blinding lights appeared. One was colorful and the other was as red as fire.
When the two masses of light got closer, everyone could see that behind the masses of light were a colorful peacock and a thousand meter long ferocious dragon. Their appearance was different from the Dragon Horse's holy silence. Once the two demonic beasts appeared, they emanated an unparalleled terrifying aura. An astonishing pressure descended from the sky. The surface of the ocean bizarrely descended a hundred meters. No matter how fiercely the ocean waves surged, they did not affect the area.
The expressions of the human ancient martial art practitioners frantically changed, their limbs turning ice cold. From the pressure, many people realized that they could see no hope in the road ahead.
”So frightening. What realm are they at? They couldn't be members of the legendary Demon Clan, could they?”
”They most likely are many times stronger than the Giant Crocodile Beast King. They are practically too terrifying. How can we possibly defeat such creatures?”
”Can we win?”
Once the Peacock Beast King and Dragon Beast King appeared, the expressions of everyone turned stiff and they felt chills down their spines. The terrifying aura was as though a heavenly force had descended. Some ancient martial art practitioners who had lower cultivation actually lost the will to resist.
The human Martial Arts Grandmasters that had battled with the Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King had ugly expressions. The two mythical beasts that had just appeared were more than a hundred times more powerful. The warriors felt that if they went against these two mythical beasts now, they would be killed instantly.
Once the Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King appeared, they slowly moved toward the Dragon Horse. However, they did not dare get too close to the Dragon Horse, appearing to respect it.
”There is no need to be nervous. If we can make it through, we will do so. If not, we will die. Until the end, no one knows what the result will be,” Mo Wen said plainly. Up until now, he had accepted it. They had done all that they could. Whether or not they would be alive in the end was all up to the will of Heaven.
He could also sense the power of the Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King. They definitely were not existences that the Giant Crocodile Beast King could compare with. In a one-on-one, with his current cultivation, it was difficult to say whether Mo Wen could kill the two mythical beasts. Moreover, the most powerful of them was not the Peacock Beast King or the Dragon Beast King, but the mysterious Dragon Horse.
Mo Wen's words put all the human ancient martial art practitioners slightly at ease. Subconsciously, Mo Wen had risen to the status where he could impact every ancient martial art practitioner here. He had the prestige of a leader.
