Mo Wen had just taken two steps forward when the sinister voice sounded from behind him. Mo Wen frowned and paused, turning to look at the Devil Kingdom cultivator straight in the eyes. Judging from the Devil Kingdom cultivator’s words, it seemed like he was not going to let Mo Wen leave.
“What do you mean?” Mo Wen asked calmly, slightly annoyed internally. This youth snatched the savage ancient beast from him and now the youth was stopping him from leaving. Mo Wen had never encountered such an unreasonable person before.
The Devil Kingdom youth ignored Mo Wen and continued to harvest the important parts from the corpse of the savage ancient beast. The blood of the savage ancient beast could be refined to form blood essence. Cultivators could improve their mortal bodies by consuming this type of essence. The blood essence would not cause any side effects to the immortal cultivators and even if it was consumed in large amounts, the consumers would not develop an immune response to it. Hence, it was a safe and steady supplement for the immortal cultivators.
During the Immemorial Age, the living beings drank blood and consumed raw flesh of the savage ancient beasts. Hence, the living creatures during that era were huge in size and had endless energy. They could traverse the terrain, chase after the sun, move the mountains and fill the sea with their bare hands. In the modern day, there were very few living creatures in various realms who had bodies as strong as that of those from the Immemorial Age. This was because of the environmental changes and the rarity of these types of wild beasts.
Therefore, the Devil Kingdom cultivator did not want to miss out on obtaining the corpse of a Tide Changing Realm wild beast. Even if he had no use for the corpse, it could be sold at a high price after he left the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.
Mo Wen was both enraged and amused by the arrogant cultivator. He then decided to stand on the spot and remain silent. He put his hands behind his back as he waited for the Devil Kingdom cultivator quietly.
“You are quite daring.”
After a long while, the Devil Kingdom cultivator finally finished handling the corpse of the wild beast. He then slowly looked up and stared at Mo Wen in the eyes for the first time.
“More or less so. Why do you make me stay?” Mo Wen replied nonchalantly.
“Do I need a reason to make you stay?” the Devil Kingdom youth retorted, with a tone of taking things for granted. A glint of crimson light flashed past in his dark pupils.
“Then do I need your permission to decide whether or not I can leave?” Mo Wen sneered.
“You are very bold, daring to speak to me with such a tone. Of course, you do not need my permission to leave, but you will die here today.”
The Devil Kingdom youth cackled and took a step forward. Evil, dark, and destructive aura surged out from his body frenziedly. The power that the youth practiced was rather demonic and powerful, seemingly on par with the Yin Yang Qi.
A beam of crimson light appeared on top of Mo Wen’s head. The crimson light was terrifying; all the demonic Qi in the heavens and earth within the radius of a thousand miles was stirred up by the crimson light. Streaks of dark red cracks appeared on the ground, enveloping Mo Wen in it like a crimson web.
Mo Wen’s facial expression changed. This youth was far more terrifying than Mo Wen had expected. As soon as the youth attacked, Mo Wen realized that this youth indeed had the ability to kill him.
Within the radius of a hundred miles, all trees and stones turned into dust. Mo Wen attempted to escape from the attack range of the Devil Kingdom youth. With a flash, his figure had appeared in the sky.
However, the crimson light followed Mo Wen closely like a shadow. In the blink of an eye, it had appeared inches away from Mo Wen.
“All the stars shine in the heavens and earth.”
The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared in Mo Wen’s hand in an instant. The power of thunder exploded as the long spear transformed into the Heavenly Serpent and crashed forcefully with the crimson light.
The might of the Glory of Star did not need to be mentioned. However, the crimson light was like a messenger from Hell; it was far more terrifying.
Splash!
Mo Wen coughed out a mouthful of blood as his figure flew backward for a hundred miles. Should his body be any weaker, he would have been killed instantly by the Devil Kingdom youth.
“Did you think that with just this level of ability, you could act presumptuously before me?”
The Devil Kingdom youth walked out from the destructive Devil Qi that filled the sky and looked indifferently at Mo Wen. He was extremely casual, as though he had simply waved his hand just now. The fact that this white-robed youth could withstand a hit from him had indeed surprised him. However, that was all.
“What is your name?” Mo Wen wiped away the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth. The Yin Yang Qi circulating in his body suppressed the ever-spreading injuries within him. The Devil Kingdom youth’s power was rather frightening. After one blow, there was still destructive power clashing within Mo Wen’s body, constantly destroying his life force. Even his Yin Yang Qi could barely suppress it.
This was the first time Mo Wen encountered such a frightening cultivator. From the youth’s aura, Mo Wen also determined that the youth had not broken through to the Supreme Profundity Realm yet.
Even before breaking through to the Supreme Profundity Realm, the youth was already so frightening! As expected, Mo Wen could not underestimate the heroes of the world. This Devil Kingdom youth was definitely not an ordinary cultivator.
“What’s the matter? Do you want to know who will kill you? I do not mind telling you. I am Gu Motian,” Gu Motian said calmly.
“You are thinking too much. I just want to know who I need to find to seek revenge in the future.”
Mo Wen laughed and gave the Devil Kingdom youth a meaningful look. Then, Mo Wen became a beam of flowing light that directly flew into the distance. With his current ability, he was definitely no match for this youth. He also faintly felt that this youth had a very terrifying power in his body. The power even surpassed the limits of what Mo Wen’s body could withstand. There was a chance that it could destroy Mo Wen’s Celestial Body.
Although Mo Wen did not know what that power was exactly, to ensure his own safety, he was certainly not going to test it.
It was difficult for a cultivator with great attainment at the Supreme Profundity Realm to want to kill Mo Wen. No matter how powerful this youth was, it was impossible for him to be comparable to a cultivator with great attainment at the Supreme Profundity Realm. What power exactly could actually pose such a threat to Mo Wen?
“Even now, you wish to escape? You do not know your own strength.”
The Devil Kingdom youth coldly snorted. His silhouette became a mass of black clouds and instantly caught up with Mo Wen. His speed was actually even higher than that of Mo Wen. It far surpassed the speed of a beginning stage Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator. With a few flickers, he had closed the distance between them greatly.
Mo Wen shook his sleeve expressionlessly. Two beams of blue light flew out from his sleeves and became a pair of beautiful wings. They were the illusionary spirit divine wings. Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen’s speed could only compare to a beginning stage Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator. However, after he unleashed the illusionary spirit divine wings, the situation would be different.
Large amounts of Yin Yang Qi in his body surged into the illusionary spirit divine wings. The exquisite illusionary spirit divine wings trembled slightly. A large number of ancient and mysterious runes appeared on the surface of the wings. All the runes linked with each other silently, seemingly forming a miraculous stratagem. The next moment, the air itself seemed to distort slightly and then Mo Wen’s silhouette disappeared from his original position and appeared several thousands of miles away.
“Huh? A combination type heaven spiritual treasure, and a rare speed-enhancing type treasure at that.”
Gu Motian raised his eyebrows. Combination type heaven spiritual treasures were rare, far rarer than sacred treasures. For low-rank cultivators, this type of spiritual treasure was more effective than a sacred treasure. It was because low-rank cultivators would have a hard time unleashing the might of a sacred treasure. However, the same could not be said for a heaven spiritual treasure.
“A nameless little cultivator actually has such a treasure on him. If I can get my hands on his combination type heaven spiritual treasure, I can go anywhere I want in this Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.”
