Chapter 1079 - : Going Down Together (2/2)

“Die! Blood Devil Saber — Soul Resting Slash.”

Prior to this, he had missed once; Gu Motian did not want to miss a second time. The Blood Devil Saber became a beam of crimson light that directly appeared behind Mo Wen.

With a Soul Resting Slash, a soul would be put to rest.

Mo Wen even felt his own soul tremble. What appeared to be a normal slash was definitely not simple.

Mo Wen activated his own powers to the limit, frenziedly trying to escape. However, despite being a few hundred miles away, he could not escape from a sacred treasure like the Blood Devil Saber at all.

The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear became an afterimage and collided with the Blood Devil Saber. With a loud ding, a terrifying power sent the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear flying out from the collision. Destructive power directly entered into Mo Wen’s body. The arm that wielded the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was instantly turned to dust that disappeared in the air.

Ptui!

Mo Wen’s figure shook and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood. Crimson cracks appeared on his huge figure like crack lines on pottery. He seemed to be on the verge of shattering at any given moment.

After the slash from the Blood Devil Saber, another strike came down again. Crimson mist lingered. It was as though a blood ocean was contained within it. Countless restless souls floated in the blood ocean, howling and screaming miserably.

Mo Wen felt his soul being pulled into the blood ocean. His mind felt heavier and heavier and his will seemed to show faint signs of being separated from his body.

This Soul Resting Slash not only attacked the body but also had such a frightening effect on his soul. With Mo Wen’s Primordial Soul level of cultivation, he actually could barely withstand the slash after being injured…

The Blood Devil Saber’s second slash once again slashed downwards, preparing to slash on Mo Wen’s figure without fail. It directly cleaved him in two. Blood rained down in torrents, splashing into the ocean below. Half of Mo Wen’s figure that was slashed off by the Blood Devil Saber turned to dust and dissipated bit by bit.

A hundred miles away, the corners of Gu Motian’s mouth curled into a sinister smile. Among those of the same realm, aside from a few chosen ones, he had never yet failed to kill those he wanted to kill.

However, the smile on Gu Motian’s face had just appeared before it immediately froze on his face.

“Don’t push your luck!”

A hoarse voice sounded. The remaining half of Mo Wen’s figure remained standing. His remaining arm furiously formed a fist that punched downwards towards the surface of the ocean. A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the ocean below. A large volume of seawater shot into the sky. The sea level rose, actually surpassing tens of thousands of meters. Even Gu Motian’s position was flooded by the waters.

Wisps of formless flame emanated from the remaining half of Mo Wen’s figure. At the same time, a terrifying pressure that seemed to be able to destroy the heavens and the earth frenziedly scattered in all directions. Within a radius of 10 000 miles, the seawater instantly evaporated. The large volume of water vapor formed a sea of mist.

“Heavenly fire! How is it possible?”

Gu Motian shrieked as he stared with a horrified look at the shapeless fire which was expanding. The fire was imposing like the heavenly force, as though it could engulf the entire world.

“How is it possible for him to have heavenly fire in his body? Even Virtue and Justice Realm cultivators would not dare to simply come in contact with it. How can a Tide Changing Realm cultivator possibly master the power of the heavenly fire?”

Gu Motian behaved as though he had seen a ghost. He gawked in disbelief at the shapeless fire that was burning more and more frenziedly. His face was as pale as a sheet as he subconsciously took a few steps back.

It was impossible for a Tide Changing Realm cultivator to have control over such a terrifying heavenly fire. If the heavenly fire spread and Gu Motian was caught in the fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Gu Motian, since you are pushing your luck, I’ll take you down with me.”

Mo Wen’s hoarse voice sounded once again. His remaining half of the body pounced toward Gu Motian suddenly. The horrifying heavenly fire gushed forward like a shapeless sea wave as Mo Wen’s haggard body moved closer towards Gu Motian.

“You are a lunatic.”

Gu Motian was scared out of his wit. He had never imagined that this youth would actually have something as terrifying as the heavenly fire on him. Normally, this would not be a threat to Gu Motian since the youth couldn’t possibly utilize much of the power of the heavenly fire with his current level of cultivation. So, the heavenly fire was not menacing for Gu Motian.

However, right now, Mo Wen was at the brink of being killed. Would he still care about the heavenly fire when his life was almost ending? Mo Wen’s self-immolation was clear that he wanted to bring Mo Gutian down with him. Even Gu Motian trembled when faced with such a mighty force.

“Unlimited Traceless Sky-Merging Apparition.”

Without hesitation, Gu Motian unleashed the forbidden release technique and ran away. Unleashing it thrice consecutively would cause him to pay a price more than what he could bear; it might cause him to be severely injured and lose a great amount of Qi and blood, resulting in him to not be able to break through to the Supreme Profundity Realm in the next hundred years. However, it was still better than him losing his life here. The heavenly fire that was out of control was too appalling. Even a Divine Illusionary Realm cultivator would not dare to try their luck with it, let alone Gu Motian.
