World of Cultivation - Volume 05 - Charge Out of the Ancient Battlefield

by Fang Xiang

  Zuo Mo and the others quickly experienced the power of the sandstorm!

  The power of the wind was tolerable. All of them were exceptionally skilled, and could stabilize themselves in the wild wind. But the ever-present Golden Crystal sand was truly hard to deal with!

  Even Zuo Mo who had the protection of the Great Day mo physique felt pain from the barrage of sand. The pain the others felt could be imagined. Everyone was furiously channeling ling power to protect their body. Shu Long, who was covered in armor, was drowning in sparks.

  Only the strange corpse had a calm face. The space within one zhang of him was undisturbed, the area was filled with warm winds and radiating light.

  Zuo Mo was quickly overwhelmed and could no longer look around. The sandstorm had increased in power. It became even difficult for him to stabilize his body. He had to hunch over to try to reduce the resistance against the terrifying sandstorm. The Golden Crystal sand rained down on his body. Under the Flame Seal Armor, it was unusually painful.

  This wind … … wasn’t right!

  The wind that had just started was producing a different sound than just a moment ago. There was a feeling of tearing in the howling as though there were hundreds of sharp knifes rubbing together.

  Hard wind!

  This was hard wind!

  Hard wind was like a blade. Its most famous quality was being able to tear apart the ling power that protected one’s body. But in reality, the hard wind didn’t just tear through ling power, it could also tear apart mo physiques!

  Zuo Mo could not open his eyes. His ears were filled with wails and cries. He bit down hard and did not dare to relax. The hard wind was growing stronger!

  The howl of the hard wind seemed to have an unusual power and could stun one’s soul. Zuo Mo did not have the spare energy to think about analyzing the experience. In this degree of hard wind, if he slacked off in the slightest, he would instantly be torn apart and turned to powder! The hard wind that carried Golden Crystal sand was like an enormous grinder that could reduce everything into a powder!

  The strange corpse glanced at the slave transporting boats that were wavering against the hard wind. He suddenly reached out to point at the trembling slave transporting boats. The ling shields on each slave transporting boat suddenly became brighter and the boats instantly stabilized.

  The states of Zuo Mo and the others were not good.

  Xie Shan had long ago summoned his flying sword. Circles of multicolored light spun around his body like rainbows. An enormous shadow appeared behind Zong Ru. He summoned the Attainment Golden Body. Shu Long had also summoned his black ji, and his body seemed to be nailed to the ground.

  After a while, Wei Sheng who had been motionless all this time finally raised the black sword in his hand. A vigorous sword essence erupted and tightly wrapped around Wei Sheng.

  Zuo Mo’s Great Day mo physique was being channeled to the maximum. Flames rampaged across the Flame Seal Armor and hardily burning in the hard wind.

  The sandstorm covered the sky. In the middle of the storm, Zuo Mo and the others were unable to see anything in the darkness.

  Zuo Mo only felt that every muscle was burning. When every grain of the Golden Crystal sand hit his body with the hard wind, he felt a heart-boring pain. In the dark sandstorm, sparks flew like rain and tightly surrounded Zuo Mo. They came from all directions and pushed Zuo Mo to the point he was unable to move.

  The impenetrable Flame Seal Armor started to warp from the furious blows of the sandstorm.

  Blows that made him unable to breathe!

  It was the first time Zuo Mo had encountered such a suffocating attack. Other than bearing through it, he could not think of any other solution. Even when he had been facing Clear Sky Old Forefather, he had not been as disheveled as now.

  Today, he learned just how immeasurable the power of the world was!

  Zuo Mo’s body rattled like dice, and his energy quickly flowed. Every breath was so long. This sandstorm seemed endless and made one feel hopeless. Sparks continuously flew. The Flame Seal Armor continuously changed shape. Pia pia pia, several Golden Crystal sand grains penetrated the Flame Seal Armor and hit Zuo Mo’s body. Zuo Mo’s figure swayed and he almost fell.

  No … … he almost couldn’t persist any more … …

  Zuo Mo gritted his teeth and bore it out, stabilizing his figure. He knew if he lost control of his body, then there was no possibility of survival. The ever-present Golden Crystal sand and the hard wind that could enter any opening would take his life.

  Pew pew pew!

  Several bursts of blood suddenly sprayed and was ground into a bloody mist by the sandstorm as it left his body. The powerful Great Day mo physique seemed to become fragile in front of this sandstorm.

  Ever since he had begun cultivating the Great Day mo physique, especially as he had become familiarized with the six transformations, Zuo Mo had never been wounded. But today, he was forcibly beaten down and covered in wounds.

  With a string of screeching cracks, the Flame Seal Armor suddenly crumbled!

  The hard wind carried the Golden Crystal sand from all directions as it burrowed into Zuo Mo’s body. Pew, dozens of tiny blood arrows shot out!

  Zuo Mo’s pupils suddenly unfocused and his body froze!

  Even more Golden Crystal sand leapt at him as though they were sharks that smelt blood!

  A bellow like that of a wounded wild beast!

  Zuo Mo’s eyes were completely red, his hair standing on end. A tendril of blood came from his mouth. The successive wounds had enraged him.

  He was wounded … … wounded … … wounded … …

  Deep inside his body, something seemed to break. A warm wave erupted. Zuo Mo’s entire body became boiling, the blood in his vessels was like lava.

  Every nerve was shaking! Every muscle was shaking! His entire body was shaking!

  His body was completely red like burning metal.

  In the sea of consciousness, Wei’s expression changed greatly. “Is his Great Day mo physique going through its second breakthrough?”

  Pu Yao found it strange. “Breakthrough is good.”

  Wei’s expression was serious as he shook his head and said, “He is reaching the destination too fast to. His Great Day mo physique has just gone through the first breakthrough, or the first maturation that you know of it as. But if he successively has two breakthroughs in such a short period of time, then there is a possibility that he will not be able to reach the third breakthrough before he levels up.”

  “That is also good.” Pu Yao was slightly confused. He might understand how to cultivate as mo but on the details, he was far lacking compared to Wei.

  “It is not good.” Wei shook his head. “His mo physique cultivation talent is astounding. I hadn’t thought that he would reach his second breakthrough this quickly. But with the growth of a mo physique faster is not better. It is like the growth of a person. Too rapid of growth will leave behind hidden weaknesses. What he needs right now is to make a good foundation. He has just had a break through, his body has not reached the limits of maturation in this stage. A breakthrough with a body that is not mature would lower the limits of what his body can tolerate.”

  Pu Yao instantly understood what Wei meant. His expression also became grave. He was of outstanding knowledge, and once seen many geniuses that had pursued speed in cultivation and had not set a good foundation when they were young. Their ability to maintain their cultivating speed had been lacking.

  The two sank into silence and stared nervously at Zuo Mo.

  Zuo Mo did not know that he was at a very crucial time. He only felt that his entire body was immersed in lava. His entire body was filled with endless power as though nothing could stop him.

  Brutality, craziness, and the most primitive impulses controlled his mind.

  He wanted to bellow, he wanted to shout, he wanted to destroy everything!

  There seemed to be an invisible wall around his body. The hard wind and Golde
n Crystal sand that had seemed invincible before were forcibly stopped on the outside.

  The strange corpse’s eyes saw through the sand and stared at Zuo Mo. His gaze landed on Zuo Mo’s chest.

  A cool slender flow silently flowed past Zuo Mo’s heart.

  At the same time on the slave transporting boat, A Gui seemed to detect something and stood up, her eyes lighting up with a serene purple energy.

  Chapter 419: Forced to the Precipice

  Zuo Mo’s mind suddenly cleared. It was the five element glass bead inside his body!

  Faint water element power flowed along his channels and nurtured his dry and bright red channels. But pitted against the Great Day Banded Flame, this portion of water element power was like a cup of water, and consumed by the strong flame instantly.

  But this weak water element power had allowed Zuo Mo, who had entered an unusual state, a very brief moment of clarity. It was this brief clarity that pulled Zuo Mo from the edge of the cliff.

  He instantly detected danger, great danger!

  He did not know where the danger was. In fact, the expanding power inside his body was intoxicating. Yet at this time, he displayed shocking calmness, because he smelt that the great danger lingered under the great power!

  But he quickly found he did not know how to get out this unusual state.

  He wanted to ask for help from Pu Yao, but no matter how he shouted inside, he could not feel the existence of Pu Yao. There seemed to be a power that separated him and Pu Yao.

  This was going to be fatal … …

  He didn’t have to time to groan before he was swallowed once again by the bursting flame.

  At this moment, a faint blue light once again came from the five element glass bead in his body. As it slowly spun, faint water element power erupted again.

  The water element power this time was thicker than previously.

  The Great Day Banded Flame was rampaging in Zuo Mo’s body. It was created from the Great Day mo physique, and the sixth-grade Great Day Banded Flame was filled with destructiveness. It hadn’t been tamed by Zuo Mo to start with. Stimulated by the outside environment, it started to resist.

  It was like a furious wild beast, power in angry waves!

  The Great Day mo physique that had just finished the first maturation was fragile in front of this terrifying power as though it would be consumed at any moment. The golden Great Day Banded Flame permeated every fiber of muscle, every bone. The Great Mo Physique of the Great Day Mo physique that had completed the first maturation was unable to withstand the tyrannical Great Day Banded Flame.

  Flesh and blood that had not matured perfectly instantly burned to dust. Even the strong flesh and blood that had completed the maturation perfectly were slowly melting under the heat of the Great Day Banded Flame.

  The process seemed akin to tempering. If it could be completed, Zuo Mo’s body would reach terrifying new heights in power!

  The water element power that had just been released by the five element glass bead was instantly surrounded by the Great Day Banded Flame, and a strong collision occurred!

  Hiss hiss hiss!

  The light blue stream and the golden flame crossed, but the water element power quickly was defeated. The ferocious Great Day Banded Flame was like a savage beast that easily burnt the water element power until there wasn’t a drop left. It seemed to be still unsatisfied and immediately leap at the five element glass bead!

  This conflict that appeared to have no meaning once again allowed Zuo Mo to receive a brief moment of clarity.

  As though he had been scooped out of lava, Zuo Mo’s vision was still completely red. If it was said that last time he had just smelt the scent of danger, then this time, he truly realized just how dangerous his situation was!

  He panted heavily as every nerve burned in pain.

  Savagery and insanity furiously attack his nervous. He suppressed the demonic impulse to destroy everything.

  No! He could not keep going like this!

  Zuo Mo wring his brains and tried to think. Zuo Mo was locked inside a cauldron. He didn’t know what was going on with Pu Yao, did not what was happening to the others. He didn’t have the time or the energy to spare thinking about others.

  Forced to the precipice, there was only one thought in his mind. Stop the Great Day Banded Flame!

  Uncontrolled tempering that would not submit to control!

  The five element glass bead was obviously the loser of the battle with the Great Day Banded Flame. The grade difference between the two was too great. The Great Day Banded Flame had completely surrounded the five element glass bead and was furiously pressing in!

  The five element glass bead was starting to spin slower and slower.

  What … … what to do?

  The Great Day Banded Flame did not listen to Zuo Mo’s orders at all. It was like a bloodthirsty monster that rampaged in his body. All the techniques used in cultivating the Great Day mo physique were useless. The Great Day Banded Flame that had been coincidentally formed far surpassed the limits of what his Great Day mo physique could control.

  This great leap of progress finally caused Zuo Mo trouble for the first time.

  Damn it! What to do?

  Almost forced into insanity, Zuo Mo used all the powers that he could use!

  Ling power, spiritual power … …

  These were not strong powers but he channeled them as though he was completely crazy. It was the first time that he used ling power, spiritual power, and the mo physique simultaneously without holding anything back!

  Just to resist the sixth-grade Great Day Banded Flame!

  They were completely different but these unconnected powers were fighting together. They started a fierce conflict around the five element glass bead.

  Zuo Mo’s ling power was sent into the five element glass bead, and the sealed five element glass bead detected danger. It greedily absorbed Zuo Mo’s ling power. The five element glass bead that almost stopped spinning started to gradually spin faster. The dim light lit up again and the water element power released was multiple times greater than what it had been before.

  And Zuo Mo’s consciousness was furiously releasing water yao arts. Inside Zuo Mo’s body, the manipulation of his consciousness was even easier. The rate that these water yao arts were released was so fast it was frightening.

  Facing the five element glass bead’s water element power and the water yao arts, the Great Day Banded Flame was still dominating. The enormous difference in grade was not something that could be filled just by numbers. If the water element power tried to push forward, it would be forced back by the Great Day Banded Flame. When those astounding numbers of water yao arts flew into the Great Day Banded Flame, it was like they were being thrown into a bottomless pit. There was no response.

  Zuo Mo controlled the mo physique and tried to vent the power of the Great Day Banded Flame to the outside. It was also ineffective. The Great Day Banded Flame inside his body was like a beast that lost control. All the methods to control it in the past had completely lost effectiveness now.

  The situation was still slowly and persistently developing in a dangerous direction.

  The only thing worth celebrating was that while the Great Day Banded Flame raged it also blocked the hard wind and the Golden Crystal sand.

  ———

  Zuo Mo’s terrible situation caused Pu Yao and Wei to wear grave expressions and show the utmost concern. The power of the Great Day Banded Flame had completely cut off their connection to Zuo Mo. They could only stare and were unable to do anything. Due to the fact the Great Day Banded Flame was born from the Great Day mo physique and was strongly yang, it was extremely fatal to existences like Pu Yao and Wei.

  Pu Yao and Wei’s power had been too greatly expended. Even if they had received reinforcement from the Golden Souls and recovered slightly, but facing a natural enemy like the Great Day Banded Flame, they still couldn’t do a thing!

  “That guy still isn’t acting?”
Pu Yao’s bloody pupil flashed with a cold light.

  “He’s really composed,” Wei said emotionally. His expression was also terrible. This event originally had been a chance for him. If Zuo Mo was willing to take up his succession, he could have easily resolved the complications. But he had not expected that the Great Day Banded Flame was so domineering that it had forcibly blocked the connection between Zuo Mo and themselves.

  Right now, they couldn’t even help, much less pass anything on.

  Their only hope was the strange corpse. On the way here, the strange corpse had not showed any enmity towards Zuo Mo, and was instead very friendly. With the strange corpse’s power, it would only take a flick of the finger to solve Zuo Mo’s trouble.

  Yet, even though the situation was now so dangerous, the strange corpse still showed no signs of moving.

  For Pu Yao and Wei, Zuo Mo’s situation was directly connected to their future. If the Great Day Banded Flame’s power was completely released inside Zuo Mo’s body, Zuo Mo would be directly burned to dust, and they could not avoid the same fate.

  The duo’s gazes as they stared at the strange corpse were very unfriendly.

  ———

  Zuo Mo understood his dangerous situation. He forcibly fought off the influence of the Great Day Banded Flame even though the power was so seductive.

  Who was strong and weak could be seen with a glance. Zuo Mo understood that if he could not immediately figure out an effective method, his outcome would definitely be very terrible!

  If he had the time to think, he would have definitely regretted cultivating the Great Day mo physique!

  But he didn’t have the time to think. All of his attention was focused on the battle inside his body. After the brief pause was a one way advance. It caused him to have a deep understanding of the deep abyss between grades.

  He realized that normal methods were basically useless!

  The strong feeling of burning and exhilaration attacked his mind like the tide. But at this time, Zuo Mo completely calmed down.
