904 Tens and Thousands of Miles of Ice (1/2)

Originally, those at the Primordial Soul Realm and above had a power than encompassed that of heaven and earth. Even though Mo Wen had cultivated his Nine Yin Divine Technique to the ninth level, he would still be unable to match up to the power of the Primordial Soul Realm. However, the cold vital Qi nourished by the Cold Pool was in his Cold Qi. The cold vital Qi was a power that was even stronger than a spiritual power. After it blended into Mo Wen's cold Qi, it immediately caused Mo Wen's cold Qi to reach the level of a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm.

The terrifying cold Qi swept across the entire challenge ring. Xin Wuji was shocked and frightened to realize that his ability to move had been greatly affected. Both his speed and power were significantly reduced. What was the most frightening was that he could not use all his power. Against the attack of the freezing cold Qi, a portion of his power was immediately forced down inside his body. He was unable to release it.

This meant that his cultivation level had fallen by a level. What cold Qi was this?! It was incredibly terrifying.

”Damn it. How did he manage to grasp a sacred level power? And it is just enough to restrain my cold attribute power.”

The Day Scorpion Familiar cursed secretly. It was already very inconvenient for him to battle while controlling Xin Wuji's body. This cold Qi that affected his control of the body was his nemesis. It was almost impossible for him to release all his power.

After all, Xin Wuji's body was merely in the Golden Elixir Realm. He was not a real martial arts grandmaster and did not have the strong resistance ability that a martial arts grandmaster had. When a warrior in the Golden Elixir Realm faced a cold Qi like this, the warrior would be greatly affected even with the protection of the Day Scorpion Familiar.

It could be said that with the cold Qi, Mo Wen had managed to weaken Xin Wuji's powers by one-third. Furthermore, it would make it difficult for Xin Wuji to battle against Mo Wen.

”I'm sorry. I did not expect the cold Qi to have impacted you so greatly.”

Mo Wen had realized how odd Xin Wuji was as well. He started laughing. He had not realized earlier. If Xin Wuji were an ordinary third realm martial arts grandmaster, the impact the cold Qi had on him would not be so great even though he would have been affected. Furthermore, given Xin Wuji's combat ability, he was not an ordinary third realm martial arts grandmaster.

At first, Mo Wen had suspected that there was something wrong with Xin Wuji. It now seemed that there was indeed something wrong with him.

”So what? I have more than enough power to deal with you.”

Xin Wuji harrumphed coldly and took a step forward toward Mo Wen. Even though his speed had been greatly affected, it was not difficult for him to defeat Mo Wen with his absolute power. After all, he had the Day Scorpion Familiar in his body.

Even though Xin Wuji could not unleash all his powers due to the suppression of the cold Qi, his powers were still stronger than Mo Wen.

Crash!

There was a punch, and a terrifying pressure hurtled towards him. Space seemed to twist.

Mo Wen did not dodge the attack, and his fist met Xin Wuji's.

Crash!

A terrifying power exploded between the two. Mo Wen did not manage to hold on against the energy that was released and took several steps back. His body shook several thousand times before he managed to shed the terrifying power. However, Xin Wuji only backed away step by step. Xin Wuji approached him again, about to kill Mo Wen and force him backward.

Whoosh!

On the challenge ring, several illusionary figures of Mo Wen appeared. There were many illusionary figures and when the figures all disappeared, Mo Wen was already in a different corner. Xin Wuji did not have time to kill Mo Wen even if he had taken the earlier opportunity to do so. The cold Qi had affected Xin Wuji's mobility, but it had not affected Mo Wen's at all.

”Sacred-level movement secret technique.”

The Day Scorpion Familiar's voice rang in Xin Wuji's mind. He did not expect a mere warrior to have grasped a sacred-level movement secret technique. Even though Mo Wen could not express the extremely powerful powers of the sacred-level movement technique, his technique alone had already surpassed ordinary martial arts teachings.

Originally, the Day Scorpion Familiar's mobility had been restricted after being affected by the cold Qi. Now, his opponent also knew a sacred-level movement secret technique. To him, things were undoubtedly getting more troublesome.

”It seems that I have to show a little of what I can do. Otherwise, I will not be able to deal with this lad.”

The Day Scorpion Familiar harrumphed coldly. Then, an image of a scorpion suddenly appeared in Xin Wuji's mind. The scorpion glowed with a green light. Its body was like a precious stone, and it was rather beautiful. However, its head seemed menacing and evil, and it made one feel fearful.

At the same time, the image of two jade green scorpions reflected in Xin Wuji's pupils. A layer of green light rose from his body.

Then, he turned into a green shadow and disappeared from where he stood. He appeared in front of Mo Wen in mere seconds.

Crash!

He flung his fist out and a terrifying power exploded. Mo Wen was tossed into the air. If he did not have great skills, he would have already been thrown out of the challenge ring.

”The release technique!”

Water Deity and the other geniuses from the hidden martial arts stream all stood up suddenly. Their gazes gathered on Xin Wuji. The skill that he had used earlier was the release technique that only a Primordial Soul Realm immortal could cultivate successfully in! The release technique was a type of secret technique amongst the immortals and could also be classified as a type of secret movement technique. However, compared to ordinary secret movement techniques, the release technique was even scarier. That was because only immortals in the Primordial Soul Realm or warriors who have become immortals can cultivate in the release technique. Ordinary warriors would not be able to successfully cultivate it.

And because the requirements to cultivate in the release technique were so high, once one succeeded in cultivating it, the power would be rather scary. Ordinary warriors might be able to understand secret movement technique skills at the elementary level, but it was almost impossible for them to understand the release technique.

Of course, this did not mean that the release technique would be stronger than secret movement techniques at the elementary level. Actually, Mo Wen's Glory of Wind technique was already past the immortal realm and was not at all weaker than the release technique. Mo Wen wasn't unable yo use the power of the Glory of Wind technique because this form of movement technique was weak. There was no difference in levels between the two techniques. The only difference was that an ordinary warrior was unable to cultivate in the release technique while an ordinary warrior could cultivate slightly in the Glory of Wind. When one looked at the two techniques this way, perhaps the movement techniques that ordinary warriors could cultivate in might be slightly more precious.

No matter what, Xin Wuji being able to use the release technique meant that he had the upper hand over Mo Wen in terms of speed.

”How is it possible for him to cultivate in the release technique? That's impossible.”

”This is so odd. The release technique is made to measure for those powerhouses who are beyond the ordinary realm so that they can speak to heaven. There are almost no rudimentary techniques. It is a technique that uses the power of heaven and earth to fly around. Ordinary warriors would not be able to use the power of heaven and earth. How would they manage to cultivate in the release technique?”
