744 The Meeting in the Mountain (1/2)
The entirety of Intentionless City was covered in a layer of ice. The air was frigid and even the clouds in the sky froze, the rain turning into snowflakes which floated downwards slowly.
The snow fell across an area of a thousand miles, and the entire scene was rather magnificent. Even though the cold was startling and everyone in the city could feel it, it did not hurt. The coldness right now did not seem natural. Instead, it was like a spirit that would automatically protect the humans who might be hurt by it.
However, this situation only happened in the city. The coldness was brutal in the sky as the cold winds howled. The warriors who surrounded Mo Wen were encapsulated in the ice one by one. Even though all of them were warriors in the Golden Elixir Realm, they could not withstand the terrible coldness.
In mere moments, more than a hundred warriors in the Golden Elixir Realm were frozen. They looked like statues as they froze in mid-air in odd shapes.
Grandmother Hui Ling used all the strength in her body to fight against the cold air surrounding her. She would shatter the layer of ice that settled on her body with her fist the moment it formed. However, the coldness was too terrifying. Another layer of ice would form just after she shattered the first layer.
”How is this possible? How can he wield so much power?” Grandmother Hui Ling's eyes were filled with incredulity. As Mo Wen had released all the power in his body without holding back, she realized just how powerful he had become.
There were more than two hundred Golden Elixir Realm warriors in the sky. However, there were only a few who could shatter the ice, and their numbers could be counted on one hand. Other than Grandmother Hui Ling, there were only a few other later-stage Golden Elixir Realm warriors who barely managed to escape being frozen. As for the other warriors, they were all completely stuck in the ice and could not move at all.
A black ray of light shone forth from Mo Wen. He was like a black sun at this moment, releasing a brilliant light that seemed unending. A terrifying coldness spread out with him at the center and swept across his surroundings.
Mo Wen had discovered earlier that his body had gone through a thorough transformation since he had emerged from the Fighting Spirit Tower. The techniques that he cultivated in had also undergone major changes. Even though the fire and cold attributes of his Nine Yang Divine Technique and Nine Yin Divine Technique had already been strong, they were now much more powerful.
Mo Wen had the power of three attributes because he cultivated in three different types of technique at the same time. Having a single attribute was characteristic of a single technique.
He merged the inner Qi of the three techniques. Even though his inner Qi had increased multiple times, it was impossible for his attribute strength to increase by the same amount. When he had previously used his attribute power, he could only use one-third of his inner Qi that belonged to that attribute. His power would suffer and was not as strong as merging the inner Qi of the three techniques. He would not use the attribute power but instead attack with his powerful inner Qi. This was also why he rarely unleashed the characteristics of the two techniques despite having cultivated in the most powerful cold and dark, and fiery and strong techniques in the world.
However, in the Fighting Spirit Tower, for some reason unknown to him, the inner Qi of the three different attributes merged into one complete entity. When he thought of using the Nine Yin Qi, which was of the cold attribute, all his inner Qi turned into Nine Yin Qi. When he wanted to use the Nine Yang Qi, which was of the fire attribute, all his inner Qi turned into Nine Yang Qi. When he wanted to use the Celestial Scripture: Sun and Moon, all his inner Qi was endless, a characteristic of the Celestial Scripture.
That meant that he would be able to use the three attributes inner Qi in him to their fullest extent no matter which attribute he wanted to unleash. Furthermore, it would be three times stronger than it would be in usual circumstances. One could imagine how powerful three times the coldness of the Nine Yin Qi would be. Otherwise, with Mo Wen's current cultivation, it would be difficult for him to freeze Intentionless City as he had done.
Mo Wen's used the Nine Yin Qi that had absorbed the Dark Soul Pearl. A cold wind swept around wildly, and it was snowing heavily within a thousand-mile radius. Warriors in the Golden Elixir Realm fell from the sky one after another. They landed on the ground unmoving, like ice sculptures.
”How is that possible!” Bu Zhangkun could not believe what he was seeing. Only a few people were still in the sky. He had never seen anything so shocking in his life. It was like a nightmare that should be impossible. It was crazier than a dream.
Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu's expressions immediately grew horrified. They only now realized that Mo Wen was no longer the Mo Wen that they knew. He was already at a stage that they could not imagine.
”How can he be so powerful. It's impossible…It's definitely impossible!” He Xiangyu looked at Mo Wen, his face extremely pale. Despite having seen many great things, he stood motionless in shock and could not react after a long time had passed.
On the ground, Jiang Jingtao and Jiang Pingzhou lay stiffly. They had been waiting for their allies to save them and hoped that Grandmother Hui Ling and the other older experts would be able to take Mo Wen down. However, darkness surrounded them, and they were filled with fear.
Was Mo Wen even still human? He seemed like a demon!
