Chapter 800: World Of Man (2/2)
Mo Wuji’s personal insights towards the Seven World Finger became increasingly clear. Currently, he was unable to break seven worlds with a single finger. However, this finger of his was gradually becoming a sacred art which could release seven forces capable of killing worlds.
If his one finger could consecutively release seven World Killers, wait… there’s no need for seven, as long as he could consecutively three World Killers, he was confident that he could eliminate Bao Bu with his current cultivation.
After Mo Wuji gained enlightenment on his own World Killers, another insight appeared in his mind.
A concept of his Seven World Killers derived from the Seven World Finger appeared. Not only that, he came up with a name for his First World Killer - World of Man [2].
Just as Mo Wuji thought of the name ‘World of Man’, the second to seventh names of his Seven World Killers appeared in his mind.
Second World Killer: Heaven and Earth; Third World Killer: Fortune; Fourth World Killer: Yin Yang; Fifth World Killer: All Creation; Sixth World Killer: Falsehood; Seventh World Killer: Returning Mortality.
Mo Wuji inhaled deeply. Through the development of his Immortal Mortal Technique, the Seven World Finger actually became his own unique skill. The moment he thought of his Seventh World Killer, he knew that it was related to his Immortal Mortal Technique.
Mo Wuji’s dao insights belonged to him. Even though he had borrowed the help of the Immortal Mortal Technique, he was still able to rapidly gain understanding on his Seven World Killers.
The Heaven and Earth is the furnace, Fortune is the labour, Yin Yang is the charcoal, All Creation is copper…
In this world, was there a difference between Man and the copper burning within a furnace? It didn’t matter whether a thing is living, or just another one of the All Creations within the Heaven and Earth, that thing is either an ant that was going to be burned in a furnace or a material to burn that ant for the Heaven and Earth.
Only through breaking the falsehood of this dao will, can one break the seven worlds and obtain a new life for oneself. That was the true meaning of being a mortal; it’s not about being an ant with the constant threat of being burned or crushed.
”Boom!” The immortal elemental energy around Mo Wuji surged strongly. His dao will moved with greater fervour, breaking out of his sea of consciousness as it started to revolve undyingly around his body.
Mo Wuji took a step forward. The sea in front of him automatically split into two. He seemed to instantly appear at the surface of the Oblique Sea. The pressure of the Heaven and Earth came looming; his energy got stronger and stronger.
Mo Wuji was very clear that the Immortal Emperor Stage, which had always been so elusive, was appearing right in front of him.
At this instant, he didn’t use any immortal pill. Even though he had the Emperor Dao Fruit, he also didn’t consume it. He was sensing a Dao which belonged to him; he was sensing a road that was only for him to tread on.
”Boom! Boom! Boom!” Ten thick bolts of lightning came crashing. Not only didn’t Mo Wuji take out any magic treasure, he flew towards the lightning and punched.
The Heaven and Earth was a huge furnace. To get out of this furnace, he needed to find a world which belonged to him.
”Crack! Crack!” The tearing sounds of bones cracking could be heard. Even though it was only the first wave of lightning, it had already caused injuries all over Mo Wuji’s body.
Mo Wuji’s Level 7 God Physique was like a paper tiger in front of this terrifying Lightning Calamity.
However, Mo Wuji was unafraid; he didn’t even take any pills. His vitality channel went into furious motion and he charged back up to the surface of the sea. The injuries on his body only served to bolster his willpower and his fighting spirit.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The lightning bolts got increasingly savage. Mists of blood exploded out the exterior of Mo Wuji’s body. However, the expression in his eyes didn’t change; he still continued to charge up and release his punches.
He had enough of being pressured and oppressed. He needed his own voice to speak.
His punches struck against the lightning bolts; the bones in his hands continued to shatter.
Boundless amounts of immortal spiritual energy were being swept towards Mo Wuji. The moment the third wave of lightning descended, Mo Wuji’s aura had already soared to the max.
”Ka!” The sound of a Grand Dao of the Heaven and Earth breaking could be heard. An aura that was more than ten times more majestic than before burst out of Mo Wuji’s body.
”Boom! Boom! Boom!” The third wave of lightning bolts descended down on Mo Wuji. However, the expression in Mo Wuji’s eyes became increasingly calm. He knew that he had stepped into the ranks of the Immortal Emperor Stage; he was now a true Immortal Emperor.
The instant he stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage, he gained enlightenment on things he didn’t understand before. At this instant, the lightning sword and lightning web skills that he learnt in the Cultivation World had become his sacred art.
Ever since he entered the Immortal World, Mo Wuji rarely used his lightning-type skills. It wasn’t because he didn’t like them, but because they were not strong enough. But now, as he advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage, his skill had become his sacred art. From now on, not only did he have his Four Halberd Strikes, Domain Crushing Fist, Wheel of Life and Death, Spatial Imprisonment, and Spiritual Will Arrow, he also had the Seven World Finger and the lightning-type sacred art.
Boundless lightning continued to descend down on him. By now, Mo Wuji didn’t even bother retaliating. He allowed these violent lightning bolts to land on him as he retrieved an immortal vein and sat down.
Lightning continued to crash. Mo Wuji’s majestic aura gradually began to shrink in. Once again, he had returned back to his appearance as an ordinary mortal. Perhaps, he could be the only person that could tell others that he was a mortal, but he wasn’t a mortal that could be simply trampled on.
Mo Wuji kept the immortal vein. He uttered a long shout. Thereafter, he retrieved his flying treasure. He was going back to Oblique Space Sea Island. It was time to receive his compensation.
[1] The creation of Heaven and Earth is the myth of Pangu. Hopefully, this short extract of the myth will make the motifs clearer. In the beginning, there was only primordial chaos in the world. Pangu was born from within a black egg. With his might, he cleaved this black egg in two; the top half forming the Heaven, and the bottom half forming the Earth. This is not the full myth, but it should explain about the tearing force required in the creation of a Heaven and Earth.
[2] Not trying to be sexist. The author is referring to the world of people, and I can’t say Human’s World as there are those from the other races as well. Thus, I used Man with the capital ‘M’.
