891 Esoteric Aura (1/2)

On Challenge Ring 49, a golden light lit up the entire Death Corner Fighting Ring. A destructive force covered the entire ring. Everyone's gaze was drawn to the shocking aura.

In the golden light, Mo Wen looked as if he was made of flames. His entire body was enveloped in golden flames. For some reason, his hands had suddenly became bigger. They were almost the size of round cushions. They looked like the hands of a giant and were a little out of place on him… The palms glimmered with light and looked like a glowing piece of amber. The mysterious forces swirled around his hands.

Anyone who had some knowledge would be able to tell at once that it was an esoteric power.

Warriors who cultivated to the stage where they could become immortals would begin to understand esoteric power. As a rite of passage martial art, its power would only be completely released when used together with profound meaning. In other words, only warriors who had become immortals would be able to use rite of passage martial arts completely.

The rite of passage martial arts that Mo Wen already used had an esoteric aura. Even though it was minimal, it was also very scary. It meant that he had reached a high level in this rite of passage martial arts.

”Esoteric Aura! That is a difficult power to grasp for those who have not yet become immortal. But he has managed to cultivate a rite of passage martial arts to such a level!”

A monk standing in the square stared at challenge ring 49 in shock. He was none other than ”Wine and Meat Monk”, the person who currently ranked third. Even though he was from the Buddhist Sect, he consumed meat and alcohol and was one of the rare strange practitioners from the Buddhist Sect.

”This Mo Wen is shocking. He is so young, yet he managed to learn a rite of passage martial arts to this level.”

Water Deity was also very shocked. Her understanding of Mo Wen had once again been renewed. It was very difficult to understand a rite of passage martial arts if one had not yet become an immortal. Wanting to cultivate a rite of passage martial art to the point where it had an esoteric aura and for there to be an underlying esoteric rule was even harder than ascending to heaven.

It could be said that cultivating in a few rite of passage martial arts at one time was not as shocking as achieving an esoteric aura in one single rite of passage martial art.

”You…”

Zhang Feng felt an immense sense of threat rising from her heart. It was as if there was a dark shadow enveloping her from within. She felt extremely uncomfortable and afraid, just as a person would feel when she sensed death creeping toward her.

She was very shocked and pale, and she backed away without any hesitation. In just a mere moment, she had already backed several hundred meters away. At this moment, she just wanted to get as far away from Mo Wen as possible. She could not understand. It had only been a few days since she last saw Mo Wen. How did he become so terrifying?

However, hiding evidently would not solve the problem. Mo Wen had cultivated in the Glory of Wind. Within a short distance, there were not many warriors who were beneath the immortal realm who could hide from him if he wished to kill them.

A ray of golden light appeared in front of Zhang Feng silently. The giant pair of hands swatted down viciously.

”Damn it!”

Zhang Feng's expression changed drastically. Given the immense danger, she could not wait anymore. She released her most powerful power in that instant. A terrifying force exploded from within her with her as its epicenter. The challenge ring instantly turned into a storm of inner Qi. Rays of startling corrosive green light enveloped her, and she transformed into a ball of green light. Green tentacles stretched out from above the ball of light. Those tentacles were as thick as arms and whipped at Mo Wen with a startling amount of power.

The air around the tentacles twisted and turned because of the tentacles. It was as if they could cause a mountain to collapse or tear through a river. Ordinary martial arts warriors would be whipped to death if they faced an attack of such power.

However, Mo Wen was not afraid of such power. The trajectory of his hands did not change. Rays of golden flames appeared in his palms.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The green tentacles hit Mo Wen's palms. However, the collision did not cause an explosion. Instead, the tentacles disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just mere moments, more than ten green tentacles dissipated, turning into balls of green smoke. Then, they were burned to ashes by the flames.

”How is that possible?”

Zhang Feng inhaled sharply in shock. She could not believe it. She had used all the corrosive power she had collected for so many years, but she had not managed to withstand a single blow.

She sensed that Mo Wen was not that powerful and his cultivation levels were lower than hers. Yet, how did something like that happen? She had not even managed to withstand a single blow and all her attacks were easily mitigated. She did not know what kind of power Mo Wen wielded but she could sense that it was much more powerful than hers. It exerted a rather shocking pressure on her imperceptibly.

Puff! Puff!

Zhang Feng's corrosive powers were no match for Mo Wen's hands. Her powerful inner Qi was not of any use at all and it practically collapsed and failed at a single prod.

A pair of amber-colored flaming large hands gradually grew larger before her eyes. The almost unlockable power caused her to collapse completely. Her desire to live made her want to flee immediately. Yet, she was frightened and shocked to realize that she had been bound by an invisible power. She could barely move her body without difficulty. It was an indescribable power. It was not very strong, but it made one feel hopeless. It was like the laws and rules between heaven and earth. If she could not break these rules, then no matter how powerful she was, she would not be able to do anything.

”Esoteric Power! No… That's impossible…”
