Chapter 989: Annihilating an Army of a Thousand

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Mo Wen simply waved his hand, and the magma that was frozen in mid-air shattered layer by layer. It became dust and dissipated in the air.

The foreign clan creature was shocked. His attack just now might have appeared off-hand, but in reality, he had gone all-out. An ordinary pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm cultivator would most likely have been unable to deal with it, yet his attack had simply been destroyed by this opponent. This human that had just arrived was actually very powerful.

“I believe you are Brother Mo Wen. I am Xiao Jinghe. I have heard lots about you, but I never imagined that you would be even better in person than your reputation made you out to be.”

Xiao Jinghe laughed out loud. He had heard about Mo Wen a while ago. However, the ease with which Mo Wen had dealt with the Flame Horn King’s attack had astonished him. Mo Wen was even more powerful than he had imagined.

“So you are Brother Xiao. I was wondering who dared to take on the Flame Horn King alone. I have heard so much about you,” Mo Wen replied with a smile. He knew about Xiao Jinghe. He was the famous Madman Xiao of the Huatian Palace. Rumor had it that this person was a cultivation maniac. He would go crazy over his cultivation, like a demon. This was why he was recognized as the strongest practitioner among the Huatian Palace’s younger generation.

Xiao Jinghe was the strongest of the four Huatian Palace members. No wonder he dared to challenge the Flame Horn King even though he had not broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm.

Mo Wen saw at a glance that the foreign clan creature was the Flame Horn Clan Leader. Other members of the Flame Horn Clan did not have this cultivation or ability.

“You human preliminary cultivators are truly daring. Today, I will make sure that you don’t leave here alive.”

The Flame Horn King saw that the two humans were politely exchanging pleasantries in front of him. They seemed to be completely ignoring him. He was immediately enraged. The city was the territory of the Flame Horn Clan. He was the Flame Horn King. A few humans were blatantly swaggering in the streets. What was this?

“Brother Mo, why have you come to Flame Horn City? You would not have come here unless you were seeking something.”

Xiao Jinghe showed no interest in the Flame Horn King and continued to ignore him. The Red Hot Desert could not be considered a cozy place. The Flame Horn Clan liked places like this, but other races did not like such hot environments. The members of outsider clans that lived in the Red Hot Desert either cultivated fire attribute powers or were forced to live in exile in such a place.

“I have come here to retrieve a treasure called the Fire Leaving Diamond. Why is Brother Xiao here?” Mo Wen did not hide anything and stated his intentions for coming over. If Xiao Jinghe had also come for the Fire Leaving Diamond, that would be a problem. It was difficult to say whether the Flame Horn Clan had two Fire Leaving Diamonds.

“I came here primarily to test out the abilities of these foreign clan creatures. I also came to retrieve some Phoenix Fire Wood,” Xiao Jinghe said.

Upon hearing this, Mo Wen nodded. If Xiao Jinghe wasn’t here for the Fire Leaving Diamond, then the matter would be much easier to settle. The Phoenix Fire Wood was also a rare treasure that grew in the Red Hot Desert.

“You two are so presumptuous!”

The Flame Horn King was so angry that he was about to explode. Not only did these two humans ignore him, but they were also openly saying that they wanted to steal the Flame Horn Clan’s treasures. They had also said it so simply and naturally. Take them away? Did they think that those treasures were household items that they could take as they pleased?

Also, one of them had dared to set their sights on the Fire Leaving Diamond, and in front of the Flame Horn Clan Leader at that!

The Phoenix Fire Wood was one thing. Although it was rather rare and considered a priceless treasure, it wasn’t as significant as the Fire Leaving Diamond. The Flame Horn Clan had embedded the Fire Leaving Diamond in their crown as a symbol of their royal power. How could they allow outsiders to profane it?

The two of them completely enraged the Flame Horn King. He couldn’t remain calm any longer, and he began to attack Xiao Jinghe frenziedly.

The Flame Horn King was a strong practitioner who was infinitesimally approaching the Tide Changing Realm. He had also lived for tens of thousands of years and had accumulated a rather frightening level of power. Although Xiao Jinghe was extraordinary, there was still a gap between him and the Flame Horn King. Mo Wen had already realized that Xiao Jinghe would be unlikely to defeat the Flame Horn King. As the Flame Horn King ferociously attacked Xiao Jinghe, he completely suppressed Xiao Jinghe.

“Members of the Flame Horn Clan, join me in killing these two human thieves.”

The Flame Horn King kept roaring in rage. He attacked Xiao Jinghe while instructing the crowd of Flame Horn Clan members. This place was the territory of their clan. How could they let two humans act as they pleased?

The Flame Horn King’s words had barely been uttered when dozens of silhouettes flew up into the sky and surrounded Mo Wen.

The dozens of bizarrely shaped creatures were all members of the Flame Horn Clan. Each of them had a rather powerful aura. The lowest of them was no lower than that of the Lie Ban Tribe’s Chief Bazzle.

Very clearly, these people were the Flame Horn Clan’s elite strong practitioners. Any one of them would be a prominent figure in the Red Hot Desert. More than ten of them had joined forces and surrounded Mo Wen.

“Brother Mo, these foreign clan members are all quite capable. You will need to hold them back. Right now, I couldn’t help you even if I wanted to,” Xiao Jinghe shouted as he withstood the frenzied attacks from the Flame Horn King. Despite this, he had still managed to warn Mo Wen. Even Xiao Jinghe couldn’t withstand dozens of foreign clan members at the pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm; he was worried about whether Mo Wen could handle it.

However, he could barely take care of himself right now. The pressure he faced grew larger, and he started to look a little haggard. As one would expect of the Flame Horn King, once he exploded out, he most likely could take Tide Changing Realm practitioners head-on.

Mo Wen smiled. With a flick of his finger, a long spear that was lit with lightning appeared in his hand. Once the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared, dark clouds immediately gathered above the entire Flame Horn City. Lightning leaped around in the dark clouds and gathered together.

A weapon that could gather such an astonishing natural phenomenon was not an ordinary spiritual treasure. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear could do so because of the Immemorial Heavenly Serpent Divine Spirit. This Divine Spirit was originally the incarnation of the Heavenly Path of Thunder. Once it appeared, thunder would begin to rumble.

“Good fellow. That long spear is somewhat bizarre.”

Xiao Jinghe stared wide-eyed at the strange signs in the sky above. A spiritual treasure that could cause such unusual signs? As the direct disciple of the Huatian Palace Grand Palace Lord, Xiao Jinghe had seen all sorts of spiritual treasures. Even heaven spiritual treasures didn’t have such abilities.

“Humph, die!”

“Die, human thief!”

“You humans treat us like prey. Today, it is my turn to kill you all.”

…

The dozens of Flame Horn Clan practitioners were full of anger as they surrounded Mo Wen. Dozens of them were enough to give even the Clan Leader a hard time. The Flame Horn King didn’t believe that this human could withstand their onslaught.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The heavens shook, and the earth split apart. Light poured out everywhere, and suppressive storms raged on.

All the strong practitioners at the pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm attacked at the same time. The destructive power that they produced was indeed rather terrifying.

However, Mo Wen was extremely laid-back, despite being in the center of this explosion of energy. His steps were miraculous. It was as though he was strolling among the astonishing waves of the energy storm.

“How is that possible?” The foreign clan practitioners had never imagined that this human would be so capable of dealing with such an attack.

“So what if there are more of you? No matter how powerful the energy you release, if you can’t hit me, it’s all in vain.”

Mo Wen’s frank words came from the center of the explosion of energy. Right now, it was as though he was walking over a steel tightrope across a chasm. He was walking calmly and steadily, not at all worried about falling.

He had absolute confidence in himself. Even if he fell into the chasm, it would not be a problem for him. Although the energy storm from dozens of strong practitioners combined was very powerful, his body could still withstand it. His Celestial Body had been cultivated to the point where he had two heads and four arms. Such an attack could not harm him at all.

Of course, he hadn’t used the Celestial Body to negate the force of the attacks. Instead, he nimbly unleashed the illusionary spirit release technique, artistically evading an energy storm that seemed impossible to avoid.

The illusionary spirit release technique! It was a remarkable power created with the illusionary spirit immortal release technique as its foundation. Although Mo Wen had just begun cultivating it recently, he could already see results and fully display the power of this release technique.

“D*mn it, his release technique is too mysterious. We cannot hit him at all.” The Flame Horn Clan members immediately roared angrily when they noticed that something wasn’t right.

Fighting a person who was proficient in release and shifting techniques would give them severe headaches.

“A mob of stragglers like yourselves expects to defeat me with sheer numbers?”

Mo Wen laughed coldly. On the surface, these dozens of Flame Horn Clan practitioners seemed powerful. However, they were separate individuals fighting for themselves. No matter how many of them there were, their powers couldn’t overlap to close off all escape routes unless all of them had been together for many years, cultivating combination techniques and practicing their teamwork. For example, Dual Evils Black and White could join forces and be greater than the sum of themselves. Otherwise, no matter how many people there were, their numbers would be useless.

Mo Wen had no intention of letting the battle go on for too long. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in his hand suddenly became a thousand-foot-long spear of lightning. Hundreds and thousands of spear illusions suddenly covered the entire sky.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The Flame Horn Clan practitioners saw a blur before their eyes. The next moment, their silhouettes were sent flying backward. They were entwined with the power of lightning from top to bottom. The terrifying power had already broken through their defenses and frenziedly surged into their bodies. They couldn’t move as the power of lightning ravaged them and made them go numb.

In an instant, dozens of silhouettes were all sent flying backward like meteorites enveloped in lightning. They crashed into the ground. For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. One by one, craters appeared in the city as though it was being hit by meteorites.

“He’s so powerful!”

“Good heavens!”

“Is he still human? Aren’t human preliminary cultivators all very weak?”

…

Flame Horn City was a huge city with tens of millions of residents. Members from almost every clan lived here. Right now, many people were watching the battle. Many Flame Horn Clan members were grinding their teeth. They could not wait to tear these two arrogant humans to shreds.

However, creatures with ordinary cultivation couldn’t intervene in this battle. They didn’t even have the ability to do so. They could only stand below and watch the battle in the sky, praying that their clan leader could show his might and crush these two humans.

“F*ck. That can’t be right. It’s so powerful!”

Xiao Jinghe’s eyes were wide open. He could not help but utter a profanity. Right now, it was hard to describe how he felt. He had been hearing things about Mo Wen for a long time, but he had never been too concerned about him. He believed that although this youth had potential, it didn’t mean that he had ability. Among the youths of the Huatian Palace, who could be as powerful as Xiao Jinghe?
