Chapter 230: Ch 230- One strike

"Senior, please let me handle this one."

As soon as Mo Yuan said this, David looked at him with wide eyes.

"Mo Yuan, you... are you sure?"

"Yes, Senior."

Mo Yuan smiled, showing no sign of hesitation.

David looked at him for a moment before reminding him, "It’s a late-stage Sovereign Realm beast. We don’t even know what talent it possesses. Be careful."

Mo Yuan nodded.

Just then, Mo Ran with Mu Qingying and Bai Ningning also stepped forward.

"Brother..."

Mo Ran looked at him with worry in her eyes. She didn’t know exactly how powerful a late-stage Sovereign Realm beast was but she knew that Sovereign Realm was the strongest realm she could imagine.

She didn’t want her brother to fight such a dangerous beast.

Mu Qingying and Bai Ningning along with Mu Shaobei and Qin Wushang, also looked worried.

"Mo Yuan, you should wait and let Senior David handle it," Mu Qingying said.

While everyone was worried, there was one person who seemed completely unconcerned.

Goldy, the Golden Mouse, was sitting on Bai Ningning’s shoulder. Looking at Mo Yuan, he spoke in a confident tone.

"You don’t have to worry about Senior. I think you should worry about the beast instead."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Goldy in surprise.

Why was he so confident in Mo Yuan?

David, on the other hand, nodded slightly. He knew Mo Yuan well enough to understand that if he had decided to fight the beast himself, he must have some confidence in his ability.

Mo Yuan slowly walked toward the edge of the flying boat and looked up at the sky.

A massive beast was flying toward them.

Its body was around seven hundred meters long and its entire form was covered in pitch-black feathers. Its enormous wings spread across the sky, creating powerful gusts of wind with every flap.

The aura coming from its body was unmistakably that of a late-stage Sovereign Realm beast.

This was the first time Mo Yuan had encountered a beast which had reached a Sovrereign realm.

As for its talent, he couldn’t determine it yet. The beast was still too far away to be within the range of his Copy and Paste Talent.

Mo Yuan nodded once toward David before turning his attention back to the approaching beast.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

’Taking care of this beast should be easy. I’m more curious about what talent it possesses.’

As his strength with all the multipliers had already reached around 1.6 trillion jin and even without using his Shadow Blessing, his strength was still around 800 billion jin.

Dealing with a late-stage Sovereign Realm beast shouldn’t be too difficult.

With that thought, Mo Yuan activated his Strength Talent and at the same time, his Blood Saber Intent also erupted.

In an instant, his entire appearance changed.

His blond hair turned crimson red and his eyes also became blood-red. A blood-red saber manifested in his hand, releasing a powerful aura that spread across the sky.

David’s expression became serious as he looked at the saber.

He had first seen Mo Yuan’s Blood Saber Intent inside the Human Federation Tower, when it had erupted and gone out of control.

But now, looking at it again, he could tell that Mo Yuan had gained complete control over it.

Not only that but its power had also become much stronger.

The others were equally shocked by Mo Yuan’s transformation.

Qin Wushang, who possessed Sword Intent, felt his own Sword Intent trembling in the presence of Mo Yuan’s Blood Saber Intent.

He looked at Mo Yuan with a shocked expression.

"What... is that?"

The others also looked confused.

David then explained, "It’s Saber Intent. More specifically, Blood Saber Intent. It’s extremely dangerous."

"Oh..."

Everyone looked at Mo Yuan with curiosity.

They had never expected that he would possess such a terrifying saber intent.

After activating his Blood Saber Intent, Mo Yuan also gathered Primordial Qi and coated his saber with it.

The blood-red saber grew even more powerful as its aura spread through the sky.

Mo Yuan finally turned around and looked at everyone.

"I’ll be back in a few minutes."

After saying this, he bent his knees and jumped.

BOOM!

The flying boat shook violently as Mo Yuan leaped into the sky.

The powerful impact caused the entire boat to sink slightly before its defensive formations activated and stabilized it in the air.

Meanwhile, Mo Yuan had already shot toward the approaching Sovereign Realm beast, his crimson hair fluttering behind him.

On the other side, the massive Sovereign Realm beast looked at the flying boat carrying the humans.

It had been resting in its lair, feeling bored, when it noticed the flying boat passing through the sky. After sensing the auras of the people aboard, it became interested.

Among them, only one person had reached the Peak Sovereign Realm. The rest were merely Origin Lord Realm cultivators.

To the beast, they were nothing more than weak prey.

It especially enjoyed killing opponents weaker than itself. Watching them struggle and desperately try to escape gave it a strange sense of pleasure.

As it flew closer, it noticed a young human jumping out of the boat.

The boy was only at the Origin Lord Realm.

Seeing this, a grin appeared on the beast’s bird-like face. Its appearance was already disgusting and the grin made it look even worse.

"A puny human at the Origin Lord Realm? Hahahaha!"

It laughed loudly as it looked at Mo Yuan, who was still rising through the sky.

"Let me teach you humans what fear really is!"

With that, it flapped its enormous wings and rushed toward Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan, who was still rising through the air after his jump, heard the beast’s words.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Fear? Hahaha. Then let me show you what real fear looks like!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yuan activated the Boundless Saber Art.

His body moved at an incredible speed as he swung his blood-red saber toward the approaching beast.

He aimed directly at its head.

After all, he wanted to finish the battle with a single strike. At the same time, he wanted to preserve the beast’s corpse so he could use his Copy and Paste Talent to check its abilities.

The beast watched Mo Yuan’s saber swing with amusement.

"Hahaha! Do you really think you..."

Before it could finish speaking, it suddenly felt a terrifying intent coming from the saber.

Its eyes widened as it felt the aura but it was already too late.

The blood-red saber streak shot forward and cleaved straight through its head.

The beast didn’t even have time to activate its talent.

The saber streak continued downward, cutting through its enormous body before crashing into the ground.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion shook the entire forest.

The force of Mo Yuan’s strike was around eight hundred billion jin. The impact was so powerful that the ground trembled as if a massive earthquake had struck.

Countless trees were uprooted and thrown into the air. The ground split apart, forming a massive crater that stretched for several kilometers.

Deep cracks spread through the surrounding forest, while some areas were completely flattened by the shockwave.

In the deepest part of the crater, molten rock could even be seen bubbling beneath the shattered ground.

Countless beasts living in the forest were frightened by the terrifying impact. Some fled in panic, while others simply collapsed under the pressure of the powerful aura.

The head and body of the seven-hundred-meter-long beast fell from the sky.

And then...

BOOM!

Its massive corpse struck the ground, creating another explosion.

Mo Yuan landed beside it a moment later.

While on the flying boat, everyone stared at the scene with wide eyes.

They had just witnessed something that was beyond their imagination.

The most shocked person was David.

He knew very well the difference between an Origin Lord Realm cultivator and a Sovereign Realm beast, especially one at the late stage.

Yet Mo Yuan had killed it with a single strike.

’This monster...’

David couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingying, Mu Shaobei, Qin Wushang and the others were equally stunned.

Mo Ran looked at her brother with her mouth slightly open. She had been worried about him just moments ago but now the powerful beast had already been killed.

Goldy, who was sitting on Bai Ningning’s shoulder, looked completely unsurprised.

He simply thought to himself.

’Senior has become even stronger.’

Back on the ground, Mo Yuan looked at the massive corpse.

He had already stopped using his Blood Saber Intent but he didn’t let it absorb all the blood.

For his cultivation, he only needed to transform his Primordial Qi into elemental Qi. He didn’t need blood.

However, he still wanted to preserve the beast’s body so he could examine its talent.

Mo Yuan activated his Copy and Paste Talent.

Soon, information about the beast appeared on his talent panel.

Beast: Blackwing Sky Roc

Bloodline Talent: Ultimate Grade

Wind Talent: Superior Grade

Seeing the information, Mo Yuan nodded.

"Superior Grade Wind Talent. Not bad."

He could use it in the future if he decided to comprehend Wind Elemental Qi.

After checking the talent, Mo Yuan allowed his Blood Saber Intent to absorb the beast’s blood.

Some of the blood was instantly absorbed and the Blood Saber Intent returned to his body.

His crimson hair and blood-red eyes gradually returned to normal and then Mo Yuan then stored the massive corpse inside his storage space.

After finishing everything, he looked toward the flying boat.

He was already looking forward to seeing everyone’s shocked expressions.

With a smile on his face, Mo Yuan jumped back toward the boat.
