Chapter 656: Lord Monstrous Beast

Just what kind of existence was this tower spirit? What kind of power did it have for it to be able to almost create a world? As long as one’s cultivation did not exceed that of the person who had created the Fighting Spirit Tower, any immortal cultivator would be hard pressed to defeat the tower spirit within it.

Mo Wen was having difficulty understanding just how the Purple Bottle Gourd had been able to escape the rules set by the Fighting Spirit Tower.

Mo Wen had already felt that the Purple Bottle Gourd was odd. It was completely different from any other treasures he had encountered. Now, he felt that the gourd was even more mysterious.

Since there was no need to unseal the limitations on the gourd, Mo Wen decided instead to aim to unseal the power of the Five Beast Hoops.

Even though the Five Beast Hoops had an average attack ability, it had strong defensive capabilities. Furthermore, it was highly flexible in that it could both attack and defend. It was a very useful treasure.

There was a glimmer of gold light and the Five Beast Hoops were unsealed. The five bronze hoops were suspended in mid-air. At times, they would turn into beasts, and on other occasions would become hoops. The treasure was amazing and unpredictable.

The Five Beast Hoops corresponded to the five beast halls of the Five Beast Sect. They were the lion, tiger, bull, elephant, and leopard.

The Five Beast Hoops had usually been placed in their respective beast halls. They were the treasure of the beast halls and were not to be used casually.

He Xiangyu had taken the Five Beast Hoops from the halls to capture the treasure of the Luofeng Sect.

However, he did not expect that he would both lose the hoops and not capture the Luofeng Sect’s treasure. He had not only failed to get the Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl, but had also lost the Five Beast Hoops.

Mo Wen waved his hand and the Five Beast Hoops flew over to him. They floated in the air surrounding him.

He would usually need spiritual stones to make spiritual power in order to use the Five Beast Hoops. He would not be able to keep the spiritual weapon around him to protect him for a long period of time.

However, the inner Qi in his body was sufficient to move the Five Beast Hoops. He only needed to release a little bit of inner Qi for the Five Beast Hoops to guard him at all times. It was much more convenient.

Mo Wen flew into the air and rushed towards the altar.

The altar was surrounded by an enormous shield of blue light. The enormous beast king was sleeping inside the light. The light seemed to separate it from everything outside. No matter how loud everything was, it did not awaken the beast king.

Mo Wen had just flown into the air when several seventh rank monstrous beasts flew up as well, attacking him wildly.

Mo Wen pointed his finger and the Five Beast Hoops floating around him turned into five spiritual beasts. They were the lion, tiger, bull, elephant, and leopard.

The power of each spiritual beast was not any weaker than a post seventh rank monstrous beast. Furthermore, they shimmered with the spiritual light of treasures and their attack capabilities were stunning.

The lion roared and a terrifying ripple spread. The beginning seventh rank monstrous beasts that were charging at Mo Wen immediately shuddered. Then, they slowly turned into sparkles of starlight. The elephant beast that was 10 meters tall and 30 meters long lifted its foot and stomped down viciously. There was a crashing rumble and it seemed as though the air was spinning. The monstrous beasts that were charging towards Mo Wen were torn apart and also turned into starlight. The leopard beast had the advantage of stunning speed. It charged at the crowd of monstrous beasts, and everywhere it went, monstrous beasts fell to the ground.

The power of the Five Beast Hoops was now completely released. Not even those from the Five Beast Sect would be able to unleash the capabilities of the Five Beast Hoops so completely. However, in this mysterious space, Mo Wen had made this possible. Like an immortal cultivator, he released the entire power of the Five Beast Hoops.

However, while the power of the Five Beast Hoops was stunning, it took up a lot of inner Qi as well. Mo Wen’s inner Qi flowed out so quickly it was almost visible to the naked eye.

The Five Beast Hoops would drain his inner Qi completely in 10 minutes.

Mo Wen laughed bitterly. Even though the power was immense, the expenditure of inner Qi was just too great. It did seem worth it though: the five spiritual beasts that emerged from the Five Beast Hoops were equivalent to five post seventh rank monstrous beasts. They were no weaker than the most highly powerful species.

The five beasts appeared, killing monstrous beasts faster than Mo Wen could alone. In just mere moments, several dozen monstrous beasts died due to the power of the Five Beast Hoops. A huge vortex of starlight enveloped Mo Wen. He could vaguely sense that his cultivation was constantly improving, and was growing at a rate much faster than it had done before.

If he maintained this speed, he could become a martial arts grandmaster in three days.

The monstrous beasts that could fly up into the air were all seventh rank monstrous beasts. Several of them had died, but they would not drop any objects.

There was not any unsealing light, not even of a low-grade. However, five balls of recovery light did fell. The rest of the drops were all healing light.

Mo Wen used the recovery lights the moment he received them. He desperately needed to replenish the terrifying amount of inner Qi he had expended. Fortunately for him, the beasts that had been killed by the Five Beast Hoops had dropped recovery lights, allowing and his inner Qi recovered quickly enough for him to achieve a rough balance.

The battle in the air grew more and more intense. Monstrous beasts kept flying into up to challenge him and the battleground grew wider. The five spiritual beasts were magnificent. Since they were illusions of the spiritual weapons, they could not be injured and nor would they die. As long as Mo Wen had enough power to give them, they could continue to kill monstrous beasts.

Mo Wen looked down at the altar. Many monstrous beasts were in the streets surrounding it. He realized that the other three people would not be able to reach the central altar quickly. As such, Mo Wen knew he could afford to take his time. He remained in the air, continuing to kill monstrous beasts.

The other three humans did not dare to fly in the air like Mo Wen. They knew that, if they were to do so, they would become the first target of all of the monstrous beasts of the seventh rank and above in the ancient city. Even though it seemed difficult on the ground, the air was more dangerous.

There were more and more monstrous beasts dying in the air. In just 15 minutes, Mo Wen discovered that his cultivation levels had increased a great deal. If this continued, it would be likely that his cultivation would strengthen further.

Other than avian monstrous beasts, only monstrous beasts of the seventh rank and above could fly. Mo Wen knew that, even though it was dangerous in the air, the rewards were high too.

Mo Wen had already gathered more than 30 drops of recovery light. He used about 20 and had about 10 left.

Such great expenditure of power had still resulted in the accumulation of resources. It made it clear that Mo Wen had made the right choice in deciding to use his full power to activate the Five Beast Hoops.

Suddenly, a high-pitched caw rang out.

Up until, this point, the large Cyan Light Eagle had stayed above the altar, guarding it. It had not joined in with the battle at all. However, when it saw the situation in the air and realized that so many monstrous beasts had died or been injured, it could not hold back anymore.

The eagle made a long whistling sound that could be heard throughout the ancient city.

The tall buildings surrounding the central altar suddenly collapsed even before the sound ended. Dust flew into the air. A large figure started to emerge slowly. The ground started to shake every time it took a step. A thick and strong aura swept through the area like a tidal wave.

The figure was that of an enormous ape-like monstrous beast that was covered in light grey hair. It was 20 meters tall and walked on two legs. The two large deer horns on its head glowed with blue light.

The monstrous beast looked very odd. It was enveloped in cloud and mist, which had the effect of making it seem as if it were there one moment and gone the next. It was as if it was a beast that grew in the clouds.

Mo Wen noticed the monstrous beast the moment that it appeared, sensing an aura from it that was as powerful as the Cyan Light Eagle.

It was one of the four lords of the ancient city.

Roar! The moment the strange monstrous beast appeared, it turned to look at Mo Wen who was still in the air. Then, roared straight at him, as if it had appeared just for Mo Wen. Its large body flickered and it flew upwards, appearing in the battleground in the sky in just mere moments.

Mo Wen’s expression was grave. He took out two recovery lights to recover his inner Qi levels to its peak. Then, he flicked his wrist and the Sacred Fire Sword appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the Gray Mountain Peak also released a patch of light. The rays of gray light enveloped the area around Mo Wen, protecting him.

A monstrous beast at the pinnacle of the seventh rank was highly likely to be extremely powerful. Mo Wen did not dare to be careless.

On the ground, the three human warriors looked up to the sky at almost the same time. Their expressions turned grave when they saw the Lord Monstrous Beast.

The Lord Monstrous Beast was the most powerful existence other than the beast king. Even a warrior at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm would be no match for them. The Lord Monstrous Beast could not be compared to human martial arts grandmasters but posed a real threat to martial arts practitioners under the grandmaster rank.

“Mo Wen. He’s here!” There was a flash of hatred in Hou Jingfeng’s eyes. He had discovered that the person in the air was Mo Wen.

Mo Wen had almost killed him earlier and shamed him several times. The loathing he felt for Mo Wen had reached a stage where he would not stop hating him until he died.

“Good. Very good. I hope that Lord Monstrous Beast will not disappoint me and eat him up. Chew him up viciously and tear him to shreds…”

There was an expression of schadenfreude in Hou Jingfeng’s eyes. The Lord Monstrous Beast charging at Mo Wen was something he could not be more pleased about. If the four Lord Monstrous Beasts in the ancient city all attacked Mo Wen, then it would be perfect.

Gong Zhangyan and Pei Fengwu were also shocked. Neither of them had expected Mo Wen to also come to this ancient city. Had he also received the secret task?

Pei Fengwu frowned. “Why does he show off his skills so much everywhere he goes? Is he not afraid of bringing trouble unto himself?” As soon as she looked up, she realized what was happening in the sky. Mo Wen truly did surprising things everywhere he went. No wonder the Lord Monstrous Beast had come out to especially attack him.

Pei Fengwu had a rough gauge of the situation in the ancient city. The most dangerous creatures in the ancient city were the four lords. However, they would not show their hands so easily until the most crucial moment. Or perhaps, one could say that they had also received a task and their task was to protect the treasure of the beast king. As such, they would not show themselves so easily when the beast king’s treasure was not threatened. This was to ensure that accidents did not happen.

The Cyan Light Eagle only flew above the altar and did not attack because its goal was to protect the white jade treasure box.

Even though they could not avoid going against the four lords in the end, their probability of success would be higher if they killed more monstrous beasts now and gather more power.

Actually, the three of them had been getting closer and closer to the altar in the center. However, they did not barge forth with all their might.

The monstrous beasts in the ancient city were all precious nourishment. As long as the four lords did not attack them, the lives of the humans would not be in danger.

Nobody would be so foolish as to barge into the central altar right now to fight the four lords.

“When one is talented, jealousy would easily strike others. You’re seeking death, and I am quite pleased to watch on.” Gong Zhangyan’s lips curled up into a mocking smile. In his eyes, Mo Wen was looking to die.
