Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen’s Primordial Soul techniques could still pose a threat to the mayor of Muhong City. But now, after the mayor had unleashed the Guiluo Mystic Yin Body, Mo Wen’s Divine Sword of the Primordial Soul would not pose a serious threat to him anymore.
Huai Hongxiu and the rest believed that the Primordial Soul techniques were Mo Wen’s strongest suit. Earlier, he even managed to cause some injury to the mayor of Muhong City, because he used his Primordial Soul techniques.
Sinister winds began to blow, and an ominous ghost claw appeared stealthily behind Mo Wen without a sound. It suddenly slammed furiously down as swiftly as lightning.
In an instant, Mo Wen’s figure glowed like an orb and flickered, before he suddenly disappeared from his original spot. The next moment, he had appeared a hundred miles away. The ghost claw missed its intended quarry and instead smashed into the ground where Mo Wen had just been. It left five gaping slash marks measuring dozens of miles long in the ground. Large quantities of underground water gushed out and quickly surged up, and filled the gigantic claw marks.
“Humph, your release techniques are indeed extraordinary.”
The mayor of Muhong City snorted coldly. Ordinary Tide Changing Realm cultivators would not have been able to evade his ghost claw; he would have killed them outright in a single blow.
“But, do you believe that by just evading my ghost claw, you can contend with me?” The mayor of Muhong City sneered, with a mocking expression on his face. He stood there a figure that was more than twenty meters tall. The next moment, he had transformed once again, replicated himself into two, then into four, and finally into six bodies. Each body emanating a very frightening aura.
“This is not an illusion technique!”
Mo Wen looked at the six silhouettes, and he was astonished. His Eyes of Enlightenment could tell at a glance that this was actually not an illusion technique. Instead, they were actually physical bodies, and this type of technique required duplication-type remarkable power. Among the six figures, the original was the strongest, while the other five were slightly weaker. However, they were still far more powerful than ordinary cultivators with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm.
“One body into six duplicates. The mayor of Muhong City has actually mastered his Guiluo Mystic Yin Body to such perfection!” Huai Hongxiu’s expression changed, and her eyes were filled with fear. This mayor of Muhong City had hidden his abilities very well. He had already mastered the Guiluo Mystic Yin Body! As a fourth-rank, small-path remarkable power, even Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators would have difficulties cultivating it. And, it was naturally even harder to cultivate it to the point of mastery and perfection. Even ordinary intermediate stage Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators would not necessarily be able to achieve that.
“I have already mastered the Guiluo Mystic Yin Body. Even if Wise Man Huai Guang were still alive, he would not be a match for me.” The mayor of Muhong City laughed with sinister glee. He had not only just set his eyes on Yingyun City because the Wise Man Huai Guang had recently died. He had had plans for this place for a long time, it was only that he had never put them into action.
He had been good friends with Wise Man Huai Guang. Once, after drinks, he was inadvertently let in on a secret by Wise Man Huai Guang. Inside Yingyun City, there was actually a hidden vital ore vein. The scale of the vital ore vein was considerable. Every year, it could produce large amounts of vital stones.
For immortal cultivators, vital stones were treasures that had far more uses than spiritual stones. After the mayor of Muhong City found out about this, he naturally became interested. He was initially prepared to only act after he had reached the intermediate stage Supreme Profundity Realm, but suddenly, Wise Man Huai Guang died in an accident. It was practically a godsend.
The six Guiluo Mystic Yin bodies glowed, flickering slightly and reappeared in six different locations, encircling Mo Wen. All around their bodies, a dark ghostly fire burned coldly. The ghostly flame was joined from one body to the other, seeming to form an unbroken wall of shadowy fire around Mo Wen.
“Die!”
The six Guiluo Mystic Yin Bodies attacked all at once. Terrifying power erupted in the space between the heavens and earth. Ghostly shadows formed, rank upon rank, and no one could escape from such an attack.
The eyes of the mayor of Muhong City were filled with desire. For after he had killed this youth, he would obtain his heaven spiritual treasure. With a heaven spiritual treasure, he would not need to be afraid even when up against the number one cultivator in the Ruyun Territorial Waters, Venerable Master Hui Hong.
The place trembled violently. The terrifying power could indeed kill a Tide Changing Realm cultivator, and even Mo Wen was no exception.
However, Mo Wen had never intended to take on this attack from the mayor of Muhong City head-on. Even Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators couldn’t take such a challenge and emerge victoriously.
Mo Wen flicked his wrist and beams of blue light emitted out from his body. The next moment, a pair of beautiful and exceptionally exquisite pair of wings sprouted on his back. Amid a flash of blue light, hundreds and thousands of illusions kept appearing.
The mayor of Muhong City felt disoriented, and his vision became unfocused and hazy. He saw Mo Wen’s silhouettes everywhere, and by the time he managed to respond, all of the illusions had suddenly disappeared. As for Mo Wen, he had already stealthily escaped from the spot he was attacked. The mayor of Muhong City did not even notice how he had escaped.
The six Guiluo Mystic Yin Bodies attacked at the same time, but all had missed their mark. The expression on the face of the mayor of Muhong City was one of both rage and shock.
He instinctively turned his head to the other side with a hard expression. To his surprise, Mo Wen’s silhouette was standing there, calm and silent. He had appeared there without a trace.
“A heaven spiritual treasure, and on top of that, a combination-type heaven spiritual treasure!” The mayor of Muhong City muttered this word by word through his teeth.
The illusionary spirit divine wings shone with an unworldly brilliance. The light nearly blinded him with its intensity. Heaven spiritual treasures were even on their own, exceedingly rare. Support type heaven spiritual treasures were even more unique. Two heaven spiritual treasures needed to combine together to form a combination-type spiritual treasure. The mayor of Muhong City was speechless.
“Who are you exactly?”
The mayor of Muhong City was perturbed, and his facial expression turned dark and wrathful. A combination-type heaven spiritual treasure was akin to a sacred treasure. Its value was far above that of the sword, which was also a heaven spiritual treasure. Could someone without a deep background possibly own such rare items?
The mayor of Muhong City dithered, he was inhibited by a moment of doubt. When he first saw the heaven spiritual treasure sword, he was overcome by his desire to obtain it. However, now that he had seen the illusionary spirit divine wings, his craving for the treasure was replaced by an overpowering sense of anxiety. Strength has always been the currency in this Immortal Cultivation world. The weak were inconsequential. This rule applied not only toward one’s ability but also for one’s background and status. Certain people should not be offended, as once they took offense, the only consequence awaiting the offender was death.
“Who I am is none of your business,” Mo Wen replied fearlessly. The reason why Mo Wen dared to meddle in the affair of Yingyun City was that he was not afraid of any ordinary Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators. Even when Mo Wen had yet to break through to the Supreme Profundity Realm, opponents of that level stood no chance against him even when they attacked him head-on.
The illusionary spirit release technique was a mysterious technique that evolved from the illusionary spirit immortal release technique; it was unique and unrivaled. On top of that, Mo Wen also had the replica of the illusionary spirit divine wings. With such powers in hand, how could primary stage Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators deal with him? Even intermediate stage Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators could not possibly kill Mo Wen.
The mayor of Muhong City wavered, overcome by a sense of doubt and shock. All the cultivators in Yingyun City looking on were in a stupor. It was another heaven spiritual treasure! Moreover, the delicate pair of wings was a very rare combination-type heaven spiritual treasure. This kind of treasure was so unique that it would be ranked among the top in the entire Ziya Territorial Waters. In terms of rarity, such combination-type heaven spiritual treasures were of a higher level than the sacred treasures.
A momentary silence swept over the vast battlefield. Everyone was eager to know precisely who this youth by the name of Mo Wen was.
Mo Wen was not concerned with what the others were thinking. He took a step forward, and suddenly, two beams of light, one black and one golden flashed brightly, emanating outwards from where he stood.
“Yin Yang Qi: Yin Yang Destruction!”
Mo Wen raised the long sword in his hand and forcefully swept it in a downward slashing motion with a stern expression. The two beams of light, one black, and one gold transformed into a gigantic Tai Chi Diagram. A ray of crimson red light shone in the middle of the Tai Chi Diagram.
