722 Sealing the Dragon Horse (1/2)
When the four major divine beasts appeared, the entire space was radiating with magnificent beams of light. There was auspicious Qi diffusing everywhere. The initial killing spirit that was in the air had disappeared completely. In the sky, four rays of light shone down through the clouds. The rays enveloped the figures of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
”The arrival of the divine beasts is an auspicious sign,” the Dragon Horse said gently. It immediately stopped attacking the four figures that were shrouded in light. Its gold eyes were fixed on the four major divine beasts that had appeared in the sky. Legend had it that the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise were auspicious beasts. They guarded the Square World and were a global representation of luck.
To a certain degree, the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits were of a much higher position than the average divine beasts. They were said to be even higher than immortals. However, although the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits had existed since time immemorial, nobody had ever seen them. Hence, even immortals could not say for sure if they truly existed.
There was one thing for certain, however, and that was the fact that in the world of Immortal Cultivators, there were many remarkable powers, mysterious principles, secret techniques, stratagems, and the like. Hence, there was a very close relationship between Immortal Cultivators and the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits. The laws and powers related to the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits were also very broad and numerous.
The Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem encompassed the Laws related to the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits. It could harness the auspicious energy from the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits and trigger its Body Differentiation Technique. It was not even a small portion of the Heaven and Earth Four Spirit's power, but to the average Immortal Cultivator, it was an exceptional power.
Almost as soon as the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits had appeared, the figures of the three major mystical beasts had been solidified in mid-air. They seemed extremely frightened as they looked at the four major divine beasts.
”How could he release such auspicious energy!” The Dragon Horse suddenly looked over at Mo Wen with a look of disbelief in its eyes. Its expression had turned solemn for the first time. It was an expression that the Dragon Horse would make only when faced with a dangerous situation that it could not handle.
”Four Guardians Heaven Sealing.” Mo Wen extended his finger and tapped. Immediately, the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits flew out and formed a colorful beam.
The next moment, the colorful beam had disappeared. When it reappeared, it was above the head of the snow-white Dragon Horse. The colorful swirl descended and the Dragon Horse instantly inhaled it. Even with the Dragon Horse's abilities, there was no way of resisting it.
The body of the Dragon Horse was radiating with white light and burning in a radiant gold flame. There were waves of frightening power rolling out. However, it was no match for the auspicious light. Without any delay, the Dragon Horse had been engulfed completely by the swirl.
”Lord Dragon Horse!”
”Lord Dragon Horse…”
Both the Peacock Beast King and Dragon Beast King were so shocked that their expressions changed. They let out exclamations of shock and in their anxiousness, their bodies trembled and they teleported thousands of meters to appear before the auspicious swirl. They continued to attack the auspicious swirl, seemingly with the intention of destroying it. However, their power was no threat to the auspicious swirl at all and so they had no effect. Instead, all of the attacks aimed at the auspicious swirl were reflected back on the two mythical beasts.
Not only had the two renowned mythical beasts of the Fire Domain failed in their rescue attempt, but they had also sustained a whole body of injuries.
”They've really captured Dragon Horse.” A surprised look flashed in Nangong Mingzhu's eyes. She could not believe that Mo Wen had actually captured the Dragon Horse, the head of the Fire Domain Beast Kings and the one whose cultivation was so strong that nobody could even fathom just how powerful it was. Everyone knew just how terrifying the Dragon Horse was. It was more formidable than the Peacock Beast King and Dragon Beast King combined. Being able to capture the Dragon Horse really meant a lot to all ancient martial art practitioners.
”He really succeeded…!”
”The Heaven and Earth Four Spirits are so strong that their auspicious power is indeed no match for any opponent.”
”Perhaps we really do have a chance of winning!”
Looks of joy appeared in the eyes of all the human ancient martial art practitioners. Now that the Dragon Horse was captured, there was nothing that could faze them. Instantly, all of them held their heads up, and they were once again full of fighting spirit. Even their auras had strengthened significantly.
”What have you all done to Lord Dragon Horse?”
”B*stard, release Lord Dragon Horse at once. If not, I will swallow all of you alive.”
The Peacock Beast King and Dragon Beast King had grown very flustered. The Dragon Beast King began to shout angrily at all the human ancient martial art practitioners beneath him. With a sway of his huge figure, he lunged towards the Four Guardians Light Shroud in an attempt to go all out for an attack. He did it with the aim of completely destroying the light shroud.
However, the Four Guardians Light Shroud was still as strong as ever. Previously, even with the collaboration of the three major mystical beasts, it had not been destroyed. Now that only the Peacock Beast King and Dragon Beast King remained, they would fail even more badly in trying to destroy it.
”Attack!” Mo Wen let out a light humph. With the flash of lightning, his figure disappeared on the spot. He was the first to leave the Four Guardians Light Shroud in an attack aimed at the Peacock Beast King.
