Chapter 169: Ch 169- Secret Realm (15)

The moment the saber strike hit the ground, everything became silent.

For a few seconds, there was not even the sound of wind.

Then the destruction began.

Boom!

The entire Secret Realm shook violently.

The red saber light did not disappear after striking the ground. Instead, it continued forward with terrifying power, tearing through the earth.

A huge canyon began to form.

The canyon stretched for nearly a hundred kilometers and was several kilometers deep in some places. Cracks spread across the ground like giant spiderwebs and red-hot lava began flowing out from the depths of the earth.

Mountains collapsed, trees were instantly destroyed and countless plants were reduced to dust.

Even several small mountains were flattened by the terrifying force of the saber strike.

The entire Secret Realm shook as if an apocalypse had descended.

It was like a massive earthquake had struck the entire world but the destruction did not stop there.

The saber light continued forward for another three hundred kilometers, tearing through everything in its path.

Any beast caught in its path, whether it was a High Realm beast or even a Peak Realm beast, was killed instantly.

None of them had the chance to resist.

The power of the strike was simply too overwhelming.

Soon, dust and countless particles filled the sky.

The ground continued shaking and the shockwave spread through the surrounding mountains.

It felt like a magnitude-ten earthquake had struck the Secret Realm.

The Golden Mouse, which was standing beside Mo Yuan, had completely frozen.

Its tiny eyes were wide open as it stared at the destruction in front of it.

Its mouth was hanging open and it could not believe what it was seeing.

"...."

For a moment, the Golden Mouse wondered if it was dreaming.

It slowly turned toward Mo Yuan.

"Senior..."

Its voice trembled.

"Can you hit me?"

Mo Yuan looked at it strangely.

The Golden Mouse swallowed.

"I want to make sure I’m not dreaming."

Mo Yuan was speechless.

He had never expected the little mouse to make such a strange request.

However, after looking at the destruction ahead, even Mo Yuan himself was shocked.

He had expected his full-strength saber strike to be powerful but he had not expected it to cause this much destruction.

’That was just a single saber strike.’

Mo Yuan looked at the enormous canyon.

’What if I used a hundred strikes?’

His expression became strange.

’What about two hundred?’

Even Mo Yuan could not help but think,

’Am I just too overpowered now?’

He shook his head and looked toward the Golden Mouse.

Since the mouse wanted to make sure it was not dreaming, Mo Yuan raised his hand and flicked its forehead.

Flick!

"Ow!"

The Golden Mouse immediately covered its forehead and jumped backward.

"Oww! Oww! Senior, forgive this junior for doubting you!"

But inside, the Golden Mouse was already trembling.

’That attack was terrifying!’

’Thank the heavens I never tried to fight this monster.’

Soon, the violent earthquake gradually subsided and the dust in the sky also began to settle.

The destruction left behind by that single saber strike finally became visible.

A massive canyon stretched across the land.

The surrounding mountains had been destroyed and the ground was covered in cracks.

It looked like the Secret Realm had been attacked by some ancient disaster.

Meanwhile, the group of four who had taken the Six-Leaf Ascension Flower had not gone very far.

Mu Qingying, Bai Ningning, Mu Shaobei and Qin Wushang were still moving through the forest when the earth suddenly began shaking beneath their feet.

Boom! Boom!

The four immediately stopped.

They turned around and what they saw made their faces change.

A massive red saber light had torn through the distant land.

Even from where they stood, they could clearly see the destruction.

A huge canyon had appeared in the distance and the shockwave was still spreading toward them.

Their expressions became extremely strange.

Mu Shaobei was the first to speak.

"What the fuck was that?"

His voice was filled with disbelief.

"Who did this?"

A chill ran down all four of their spines.

Qin Wushang stared at the destruction with a serious expression.

"It was definitely Saber Intent."

He could clearly sense the familiar aura.

"But which human could do something like this?"

He paused.

"I thought only Origin Soul Realm cultivators were allowed to enter this Secret Realm."

The four suddenly became silent.

One name appeared in everyone’s mind.

Mu Qingying was the first to speak.

"Could this have been done by Mo... Yuan?"

Qin Wushang immediately shook his head.

"Impossible."

But his voice lacked confidence, then he looked at the enormous canyon again.

"This..."

He could not finish his sentence.

There was no other person they could think of who could create such destruction with a single saber strike.

On the other side, Mo Yuan looked at the Golden Mouse.

"Alright. Now tell me where the Six-Leaf Ascension Flower went."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"I want to see who dared to steal my treasure right under my nose."

The Golden Mouse felt a chill run down its spine.

For some reason, it suddenly felt sorry for whoever had taken the flower.

That person had stolen a treasure from a terrifying monster without knowing it.

The Golden Mouse quickly activated its Treasure Finder Talent.

After sensing the remaining traces, it immediately pointed in a direction.

"Follow me, Senior!"

Mo Yuan nodded and then he followed behind the Golden Mouse.

Mo Yuan followed the Golden Mouse through the forest and after about two minutes, the Golden Mouse suddenly stopped.

"Senior, they are just ahead."

It looked ahead with a strange expression.

"That’s weird. They aren’t running anymore. Maybe they are still shocked by the destruction you caused."

Mo Yuan nodded and continued forward.

A moment later, the two finally reached their location.

When Mo Yuan saw the four people standing ahead, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

’What a coincidence’

He had not expected to meet them here.

On the other hand, the Golden Mouse did not know any of them.

It immediately puffed out its chest and spoke with an arrogant tone.

"How dare you puny humans steal Senior’s treasure? Do you know what you have done?"

The four people remained silent.

They had already been shocked by the destruction caused by that terrifying saber strike.

Although they had suspected that the attack might have been related to Mo Yuan, they had not been completely certain.

But now, seeing Mo Yuan appear together with the Golden Mouse, they immediately understood.

It really was him, then the Golden Mouse continued speaking proudly.

"Senior’s treasure is not something you can simply steal. You should immediately hand it over and pay for your mistake with your life!"

The four remained silent.

The Golden Mouse misunderstood their reaction.

’They must be scared.’

It turned toward Mo Yuan and said, "Senior, should I eat one of them to teach the others a lesson? How dare they steal your treasure!"

Before it could say anything else, Mo Yuan smiled and raised his hand.

Flick!

His finger landed directly on the Golden Mouse’s forehead.

"Ow!"

The Golden Mouse covered its forehead and looked at Mo Yuan in confusion.

"Senior... what was that for?"

Mo Yuan looked at the little mouse helplessly.

On the other hand the four people finally could not hold back their expressions.

They had just witnessed the Golden Mouse acting like a mighty beast king and the aura it radiated was peak realm

Yet Mo Yuan treated it like a troublesome little pet and for a moment, none of them knew what to say.
