Chapter 899: Colored Divine Stone
In the Divine Dragon Nest, everyone was paying close attention to the shifts in the positions of the Heaven List’s top ten strongest practitioners. They could be considered the strongest youths in Hua Xia. The battles between them would naturally be fantastic.
“Why did Mo Wen choose the sixth challenge ring?” A strange look flashed in Tan Qiyue’s eyes. With Mo Wen’s ability, he should not have merely chosen sixth place. He could probably even be in contention for the top three. Also, there was already someone on the sixth challenge ring. Going up now was equivalent to fighting a battle earlier than necessary. It was not very advantageous for his later endeavors.
Some of the people who knew Mo Wen felt that it was somewhat strange. From the ability that Mo Wen had demonstrated before, he should be aiming for the top three.
“Elder sister, why is Mo Wen challenging the sixth challenge ring?”
Two people stood out of sight in a corner. One was a woman with fluttering white robes, like a deity that had descended from heaven to the mortal realms; the other had a very enchanting, gender-neutral face. They could be considered enchanting among the enchanting.
These two were none other than Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian.
They were in the Divine Dragon Nest; however, no one could notice them. Even the referee had not noticed them.
“He must have had some feud with that youth,” Mo Qingtian said with a plain smile. If they did not have bad blood with each other, Mo Wen would most likely not have done such a thing. Based on her understanding, Mo Wen was not someone who would be content with sixth place.
“Elder sister, could it be that you have known all along that Mo Wen would enter the top ten, so you gave him the Colored Dragon Stone before this? This time, the competition for the Heaven List Tournament is fierce. At first, I was not really confident in him,” Mo Qingtian said curiously. Right now, he had found out that his elder sister’s Colored Dragon Stone had been passed to Mo Wen.
Even though the Colored Dragon Stone was precious beyond compare, it was only useful after it entered the Goddess’ World.
“I do not have the ability to predict the future. The reason I gave him the Colored Dragon Stone was just because I wanted to give him an opportunity. Even if he did not enter the Heaven List’s top ten, I would have found a way for him to enter the Goddess’s World,” Mo Qingge said. With her position in the Huatian Palace, it was not difficult for her to make an exception and let Mo Wen enter the Goddess’s World.
“Elder sister, aren’t you being too nice to this Mo Wen? The Colored Dragon Stones are rare objects, and there are only a few of them in the entire world. You are just going to give them to Mo Wen?”
Mo Qingtian looked strangely at Mo Qingge. His elder sister had never been so kind to a man before. The Colored Dragon Stone was also known as the Colored Divine Stone. There were only a few of these in all the realms. Based on what he knew, the entire Spirit Realm only had two. One had ended up in the hands of his elder sister. She had actually simply given it to someone else!
“Although the Colored Divine Stone is rare, in my hands, it is no different from an ordinary stone. I have been to the Goddess’s World a total of five times, and I have returned empty-handed each time. If it is not meant to be, it is not meant to be. It would be useless no matter how many times I go there. I gave the Colored Divine Stone to Mo Wen to see whether he would have the same fate. After all, before this, he had also given me the Soul Nurturing Jade. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for me to get through the massacre crisis this time around,” Mo Qingge said.
She had given the Colored Divine Stone to Mo Wen to repay his kindness. Moreover, the Colored Divine Stone was useless in her hands.
Hearing the massacre crisis being brought up, Mo Qingtian fell silent. The disaster that his elder sister faced was his eternal pain. He hated his helplessness and that he could only watch as his elder sister endured the pain. Also, at any moment, she could go berserk and the incident that he feared the most would occur.
“Tian’er, it’s been so long already and you still haven’t moved past it? I have lived happily and have no regrets. Moreover, with my cultivation, after weathering this massacre crisis, I should not have an outbreak for the next five years.”
Mo Qingge had her hands behind her back. Her entire person was full of the Qi of the Celestial Spirit Body. She was beyond this world. From the surface, he could not detect any negative aura from her at all.
Mo Qingtian looked silently at his elder sister. In his heart, he laughed bitterly. Are you truly happy?
He looked at Mo Wen in the challenge ring. The Colored Divine Stone was far more precious than the Soul Nurturing Jade. They could not be compared at all. However, since his elder sister was happy, who was he to reject her decision? Moreover, this was the first time his elder sister had been so concerned about someone.
...
“Mo Wen, if you stop now, there is still a chance for us to make peace. Otherwise, you should know what happens to those who offend me.” Lord Merciless stared at Mo Wen with an icy cold expression. He had chosen the sixth challenge ring to avoid battling with Mo Wen. He knew that, right now, he was no longer a match for Mo Wen.
“Enough of this nonsense. A dignified Blood Evil Temple young Temple Lord like yourself acts in such a way? You either fight me or get off this challenge ring,” Mo Wen said plainly.
“You... you seek death!”
Lord Merciless was enraged. Mo Wen had actually dared to speak to him in such a manner. If it wasn’t because they were restricted by the rules set by the Huatian Palace and thus Lord Merciless couldn’t use many of his treasures, he would have killed this brute long ago. Right now, Lord Merciless had no choice but to fight Mo Wen. If he ran away without a fight, it would most likely be even more embarrassing for him.
Raging Blood Ocean!
The one who attacked first would gain the upper hand. Since the fight was inevitable, Lord Merciless decisively unleashed his strongest martial arts teaching. Waves of blood ocean surged frantically, enveloping the entire challenge ring. Wave upon wave of blood crashed endlessly towards Mo Wen. Each wave was stronger than the previous one.
Right now, Lord Merciless had broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Third Realm. His ability had improved by leaps and bounds. He didn’t believe that Mo Wen could defeat him easily. Even if Lord Merciless couldn’t win, he still wanted to find ways to injure Mo Wen.
“You don’t know your own strength.”
Mo Wen coldly laughed. Even Heng Xiangguang was not his opponent. Lord Merciless, who had just broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Third Realm, actually wanted to threaten him.
A phoenix illusion appeared above the challenge ring. Below the illusion, Mo Wen emanated unparalleled might. Waves of golden phoenix flames swept out. The golden phoenix flames contained terrifyingly high temperatures. With one sweep, the blood ocean that surrounded Mo Wen immediately evaporated and was instantly reduced by half.
A golden shadow broke straight through the blood ocean and appeared before Lord Merciless.
Rumble!
A gigantic blazing palm descended from the sky above. The palm contained unparalleled might. It was the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm.
However, the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm now contained waves of golden phoenix flames. A flame phoenix made from golden flames danced around the gigantic palm. It caused the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm to have an additional mysterious and wild aura.
Lord Merciless was sent flying. The Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm that contained the Phoenix Divine Power was rather frightening. Even Heng Xiangguang could not withstand this technique, let alone Lord Merciless.
Rumble!
Lord Merciless’ figure flew out of the challenge ring and smashed straight into the ground. Cracks appeared on his body, and blood poured out onto the ground in jets. A mere palm strike had nearly smashed his body into pieces. If Lord Merciless’s cultivation wasn’t strong enough, he would have nearly died straight away.
“So powerful!”
Sword Addict White Dust felt his heart tremble. Even he could not have withstood the power of Mo Wen’s palm strike just now. The palm strike did not contain any technique. It broke through technique with sheer strength. It could not be blocked.
If Mo Wen was as powerful as he was now when Sword Addict White Dust first met him, how would he have dared to snatch half of Mo Wen’s points? It would have been a blessing if Mo Wen did not snatch his.
One by one, the participants looked at Mo Wen in astonishment. Such ability was indeed sufficient to contend for a position in the top three.
A streak of white light descended from the sky and shone down on Lord Merciless. His injuries were immediately healed at a speed that could be tracked with the naked eye. In an instant, the bleeding stopped.
“You are severely injured, and your internal organs have been greatly affected. Do you wish to continue competing? If you give up, you will automatically be placed tenth,” the referee said as he appeared in the challenge ring and stared at Lord Merciless.
Just now, the white light had merely healed his external injuries. It was impossible for the Huatian Palace to heal the participants completely. Therefore, Lord Merciless was still severely injured now.
“I yield,” Lord Merciless said feebly.
He looked at Mo Wen with a gaze full of hatred. He was well aware that Mo Wen had purposely hurt him until he was severely injured, thus crumbling his ranking on the Heaven List. In his current condition, Lord Merciless could barely stand on his own, let alone fight others. Any of the other participants could defeat him easily.
“Within fifteen minutes, all participants must choose a challenge ring. Otherwise, you will forfeit the task.”
The referee glanced at the participants who had yet to decide on a challenge ring before giving them a warning. Then, he disappeared once again.
The participants could choose to not pick a challenge ring immediately; however, they couldn’t refuse to do so forever.
The participants flew up and dashed towards the challenge rings. A battle was still going on in the first challenge ring, and the sixth challenge ring had been conquered by Mo Wen. Right now, they still had eight challenge rings to pick from. Of course, unless they were forced to do so, no one would choose the tenth challenge ring.
Almost at the same time, two figures dashed towards the second challenge ring. The two figures were none other than Wine and Meat Monk and Water Deity.
“Monk, are you prepared to fight me now?” Water Deity said coldly as she stared at Wine and Meat monk who had flown up to the challenge ring at the same time as her. Clearly, it was unwise for both of them to fight each other right away. After all, both of them intended to fight for the first challenge ring. Naturally, they wouldn’t waste too much effort on the second challenge ring. Water Deity was certain that Wine and Meat Monk would not fight her now.
“Amitabha, since Water Deity has the intention to occupy this challenge ring, naturally I will not take away what you love.” Wine and Meat Monk took a step back. His body swung slightly, and he retreated to stand on the third challenge ring. As Water Deity had expected, he wouldn’t fight her now.
Shen Hao occupied the fourth challenge ring. Sword Addict White Dust took the fifth challenge ring while Guo Mengqiao took the seventh.
On the other hand, Gu Jingman stepped up the eighth challenge ring leisurely. She sat cross-legged and stared at the surroundings with great interest. She seemed to not be in a rush.
At the moment, nobody rushed to fight the others. Even though they occupied a challenge ring, they could still challenge those who were at the upper challenge rings.
It could be said that no one was currently in their ideal ranking. Fights were certain to follow.
Right now, the battle on the first challenge ring was still going strong. Nobody expected that this Xin Wuji, who had seemed to pop out of nowhere, could actually exchange blows with Dark Hand for so long. Moreover, to everyone’s surprise, Xin Wuji had actually gained the upper hand as the battle continued.
The facial expressions of Wine and Meat Monk, Water Deity, and the others turned serious. Nobody expected that such a strong opponent would have actually appeared.
