Chapter 1061 - 169: Breakthrough, Early Stage of Spirit Wheel

Boom!

Boom!

In the midst of the chaotic Shishan, the sound of spiritual power roaring incessantly erupted, with deep pits continuously carved out on the ground.

Suspended in mid-air, Chen Mo kept channeling the "Blood God Seal" to bombard the ground and the Shishan.

He was chasing a mid-stage Third Realm python-type demon beast, almost subduing it, but didn't expect it to burrow underground, hiding beneath the Shishan.

Having found such a "local" demon beast, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't let it escape, so he kept bombarding the area around the Shishan to prevent it from escaping underground to elsewhere.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen Mo's face looked extremely unsightly.

This python-type demon beast had dug too deep, beyond the range of his Primordial Spirit's exploration, and the sickly glazed surface of the ground could isolate part of the spiritual power attack, preventing him from causing strong damage to the underground demon beast, allowing it to escape.

Chen Mo's face turned dark. Despite spending so much effort, it all came to nothing, a waste of so much spiritual power.

Chen Mo found a place to sit cross-legged on the spot, grabbing a handful of Fire Spirit Pills to replenish the consumed spiritual power.

Just as he had nearly recovered, the earth suddenly shook, affecting his position.

"What happened?"

Chen Mo was taken aback, stood up, and instantly employed the Wandering Dragon Step, rushing toward the direction of the commotion.

Before long, Chen Mo's figure silently landed on the treetop of an ancient tree, gazing toward the valley not far below. There, in a valley with particularly lush vegetation, lay a massive Golden-Horned Ox, enveloped in flames, collapsed amidst a pool of golden liquid.

1699999.

Seeing the number displayed by this demon beast indicated that it was an early-stage Fourth Realm demon beast.

Chen Mo gave it a glance, intending to turn and leave, as he knew that a Fourth Realm demon beast was not something he could afford to provoke.

But right then, he noticed something was amiss.

This "Ox Demon" seemed to be wounded, and severely so—the golden liquid was flowing from its wounds, its blood.

In Chen Mo's perception, it seemed very weak.

Chen Mo swallowed hard, though uncertain why it was so severely injured, he knew this was an opportunity sent his way.

He scanned the surroundings, finding no other people.

Opportunities lost cannot be regained.

"Take a gamble."

Chen Mo made up his mind, and with a thought, the Spirit Brilliance Sword and eighteen Wind Shadow Swords flew out, hovering behind him, shimmering slightly and forming a sword array.

Indeed, Chen Mo was deploying the Circulation Sword Array.

He decided that once he had gathered all 888 spirit swords, he would charge forward to deliver a heavy blow to this severely wounded Fourth Realm demon beast.

Meanwhile, he had already considered, if it failed, he'd turn and run.

Perhaps this time he concentrated his focus more.

In less than a quarter, 888 spirit swords were gathered, alongside the eighteen Wind Shadow Swords and the Spirit Brilliance Sword, making a total of 907 swords.

Chen Mo moved swiftly, without hesitation, charging directly toward the severely injured "Ox Demon."

"Roar!"

The Golden-Horned Flame Bull, sensing the fluctuation of spiritual power while lying recovering, immediately let out a feeble roar. The True Flame on its body, initially extinguished, reignited, and it stood up—the two golden horns radiating brilliantly, unleashing a golden beam, fiercely blasting toward Chen Mo.

"Pfft."

The Fourth Realm demon beast's attack, even when severely injured, was not something Chen Mo could dodge. He took the hit forcibly—causing the Life-saving Jade, bestowed by Huang Su, to shatter, resulting in a mouthful of blood spurting from Chen Mo's mouth.

However, his physique was strong, and his cultivation was more potent than Huang Su's during the Jade Secret Realm, so it wasn't too severe.

Following the blow, Chen Mo pointed at the "Ox Demon," and the Circulation Sword Array instantly enveloped it. Simultaneously, he swiftly retreated to avoid being hit again.

"Roar roar roar!"

The Golden-Horned Flame Bull sensed the threat, emitting a furious roar, beginning to burn the little remaining essence blood within. It was desperate—if the last bit of essence blood was entirely consumed, its life would come to an end.

Nonetheless, it would never let itself fall into the hands of despicable humans.

The Ox Demon's phantom gathered once again on its body, but just as it completed its assembly, the Circulation Sword Array directly severed the Ox Demon's phantom's head, then all 907 swords descended onto it, causing the entire valley to surge with spiritual power.

The Spirit Brilliance Sword, under the Circulation Sword Array's augmentation, pierced through the Golden-Horned Flame Bull's skull, extinguishing its vitality and Primordial Spirit.

"Boom!"

The huge body of the Golden-Horned Flame Bull collapsed, causing the ground to tremble slightly, as dust rose.

Having retreated far, Chen Mo only approached after sensing no more movements.

The Spirit Brilliance Sword and eighteen Wind Shadow Swords returned to his side.

However, Chen Mo still didn't approach the Ox Demon, wary of any tricks it might have.

Instead, he controlled the Spirit Brilliance Sword to extract the "Ox Demon's" Inner Core.

According to the book's description, a demon beast's Inner Core is typically inside its head.

"Hopefully the sword didn't destroy the Inner Core."

Chen Mo controlled the Spirit Brilliance Sword to churn inside the "Ox Demon's" head.

Soon, a ping pong ball-sized, golden yet exuding a faint red glow bead was excavated by the Spirit Brilliance Sword.

Chen Mo's eyes burned intensely, seizing the Inner Core into his hand.

"So hot…" As soon as it touched his hand, Chen Mo felt his skin being scorched, quickly mobilizing spiritual power to envelop the Inner Core, observing closely, he could even see wisps of white mist emanating from the Inner Core.
