World of Cultivation - Volume 06 - All Hail Our King

by Fang Xiang

  But in Zuo Mo's mind, what it gave off was not the energy of a dragon, but a cold and brutal killing essence. It was as though its sharp thick dragon claws dripped with black blood.

  The purest of all killing essences!

  In this moment, even the Three Thousand Strands of Worry decided to retreat. Other than the thickest few strands, the other strands of worry released the Anti Dragon Claw.

  The Anti Dragon Claw that a portion of its restraints had been undone and unhesitatingly displayed its power and brutality!

  This dragon shadow moved like a blur of grey lightning and Zuo Mo was unable to see its path clearly.

  As the shadow blurred, a sun at it's peak intensity fell from the sky. Streaking through the sky like a comet, it howled as it smashed towards the grey shadow!

  Roar!

  The grey shadow suddenly roared, the killing energy reaching a peak. Rushing upwards, it fearlessly welcomed the sun's incoming attack!

  Pure killing essence was like the sharpest blade essence in the world.

  Both sides were peerless in their speed.

  Two lights, one gold and one grey, drew across the horizon and collided.

  Dong!

  An deafening sound. The entire jie shuddered!

  There was no explosion, no gust of air, just a terrifying sound of the collision.

  Everyone felt the golden light brighten until it was blinding. Their vision went white. But the light quickly faded and their vision recovered. Then they found that flames were raining down.

  Every thread of flame was a seed that had been caught in the wind and floated in the air.

  But this was just the beginning.

  The nine remaining suns in the sky suddenly fell one after another!

  Dong dong dong!

  With every sound, Zuo Mo's body reflexively shook. Blood seeped out from his hose, eyes, and mouth. No matter if it was the Ten Crow Celestial Domain or the shadow of the dragon, they were connected to him. When the two were fighting like this without any regard the damage they suffered, Zuo Mo's body was collateral damage.

  If this was in the past, his body would have been unable to endure the backlash from the fight.

  Fortunately, his body had been strengthened, but even so, with every impact, his body suffered a heavy blow. The power inside his body was not under his control but it still existed.

  Every impact was soul-rattling, and the entire jie trembled in unison!

  Ten times in succession, the Sun Crystal Seed and the Anti Dragon Claw clashed and did not leave anything behind. The magnitude of the backlash that Zuo Mo's body endured reached a shocking intensity.

  The grey mo matrix on the surface his body was twisted and tangled in on itself like metal wire.

  The rain of fire gathered back into ten suns again. However, they were several times smaller and dimmer than before. They were like ten red beads that entered Zuo Mo's body again.

  The earth-shaking collisions surpassed Zuo Mo's knowledge.

  In front of such great power, Zuo Mo could not react at all.

  However, the battle had not ended. The two, now wounded, returned to the old battlefield back in Zuo Mo's body. The conflict was not as powerful as before but in terms of danger, it was even greater.

  The Sun Crystal Seed was much dimmer but it still continued to release hot flows. Zuo Mo discovered that the hot flows released by the Sun Crystal Seed was weaker than before.

  The Anti Dragon Claw's presence was also weaker.

  Once again, the battlefield was where the ten sun matrices were located.

  The power of the two sides weakened as they continued to destroy each other. Zuo Mo found to his joy that the suppression of his power seemed to show signs of weakening.

  But the damage his body endured became greater. As the two powers continued to weaken each other, they did not have any power to spare to heal Zuo Mo's body. The Greenvine Mystical Water was still being suppressed. While there was signs of release, it was still unable to move.

  Zuo Mo started to feel urgency. He knew that as the two powers weakened, he would regain control of his body, but he was afraid that his body would be damaged beyond repair by that point.

  He could not wait until that moment!

  As the suppression weakened, Zuo Mo's mind recovered its usual nimbleness. He did not hesitate and made a decision.

  He had to do something!

  The only card he had left was the Soul Setting Divine Light. At this time, no matter what, he had to try. His body was pushed to the point where it was going to completely collapse.

  His first target was one of the sun matrices, the sun matrix at his forehead.

  The sun matrix was much dimmer than before, but there was still much of the hot flows of energy from the Sun Crystal Seed inside. The brutal energies of the Anti Dragon Claw outside were continuously attacking this sun matrix.

  The power of the two sides collided and shifted as they fought of dominance.

  The Soul Setting Divine Light suddenly appeared.

  Without any warning, the two powers were suddenly frozen in place. No, set in place. The sun matrix that had been restless just now was strangely calm.

  The following changes were out of Zuo Mo's expectations.

  Zuo Mo had observed that the two powers had been colliding and destroying each other. But now the situation seemed slightly different. When the power of the two apparent mortal enemies was set, Zuo Mo discovered that there was a novel power that glittered like the stars that was left around the sun matrix.

  This power was not like any power that Zuo Mo knew of.

  Compared to the brutality and dominance of the Anti Dragon Claw and the Sun Crystal Seed, these strange fragments of power were unusually peaceful and gentle. As Zuo Mo's thoughts moved to examine the fragments, they entered Zuo Mo's blood and flesh.

  The next change brought joy to Zuo Mo.

  These seemingly peaceful and harmless fragments had the strong ability to heal and regenerate. Once they entered Zuo Mo's flesh, the flesh started to miraculously heal.

  Yet the healed flesh seemed different than before.

  There was no time for Zuo Mo to study it carefully now. There were nine other sun matrices where the battle was raged on.

  With his confidence boosted, Zuo Mo urged the Soul Setting Divine Light towards another sun matrix.

  The Soul Setting Divine Light was as powerful as expected. Anything that it shined on, regardless of the intensity of the battle, would be immediately set.

  Zuo Mo furiously searched for the fragments of power that appeared after the two powers collided. He had them enter his flesh and the effects were great.

  As three sun matrices were sealed by the Soul Setting Divine Light, both the Anti Dragon Claw and the Sun Crystal Seed seemed to have recognized that their control over the situation was quickly unravelling. The two powers immediately retreated.

  Boom!

  Zuo Mo's body suddenly shook. He once again had control over his body.

  The joy at surviving this hardship rose. In this moment, he had an impulse to cry from joy.

  But he quickly calmed his mind. At this time, there were more important things to do.

  The strange new power that was floating around the sun matrices!

  Zuo Mo greedily merged every drop of this newborn power into his body. He did not waste one bit of it. These dots and particles of power were not strong, and disappeared after being merged with his flesh.

  Zuo Mo's body was healing at a visible rate.

  His nearly ruined body was restored in a short period of time. No, not as the same as before, but having changed again.

  Shen power, ling power, mo skill, spiritual consciousness, these familiar powers once again returned to his body. Strong confidence rose. Power was the basis of confidence. Without power, his confidence was unrooted.

  There was nothing more beautiful than this familiar confidence!

  At this time, Zuo Mo suddenly noticed unusual movements in the
Three Thousand Threads of Worry. From the beginning, the Three Thousand Threads of Worry seemed to have been neutral. It did not participate in the battle between the Anti Dragon Claw and the Sun Crystal Seed so its movements now were unusually eye-catching.

  Hm!

  This was … …

  Translator Ramblings: Blame Fang Xiang shall be the new motto.

  Chapter 651: When He's Sick, Take His Life!

  Several strands of the Three Thousand Strands of Worry suddenly burrowed into the Anti Dragon Claw.

  The Anti Dragon Claw shook but the furious struggle and resistance that Zuo Mo had expected from the Anti Dragon Claw did not come. Was it? Zuo Mo suddenly had a realization. The Anti Dragon Claw had exhausted itself in the conflict with the Sun Crystal Seed just now and was in a weakened state!

  The following scene seemed to prove Zuo Mo's guess. Pew pew pew, the slender Three Thousand Threads of Worry punctured the Anti Dragon Claw like needles. The Anti Dragon Claw shook but did not resist.

  Great opportunity!

  For natural born opportunists like Little Mo Ge, if he missed an opportunity like this, then he would not be Little Mo Ge.

  With his strength, he didn't know how long it would take him to subdue the Anti Dragon Claw. Previously, he had only managed to hold onto the Anti Dragon Claw by using the Three Thousand Threads of Worry. But holding it and subduing it was not the same. Even though the Anti Dragon Claw could not escape, he could not channel the power of the Anti Dragon Claw.

  Right now, this was when the Anti Dragon Claw was weakest and the best opportunity to subdue it.

  Take his life when he was sick, this principle was also able to be applied to sky mo weapons. In blink, Zuo Mo threw aside his respect of the Anti Dragon Claw and started to scheme against it. Only now did he find that the Three Thousand Threads of Worry was the most cunning and evil of the three. This guy had pretended to be neutral from the beginning but showed its hand when the Anti Dragon Claw showed weakness!

  Very vicious!

  But I like it!

  Zuo Mo did not wait around watching but reached out as well! Regardless of how the Three Thousand Threads of Worry subdued the Anti Dragon Claw, it could not help him tame this peerless mo weapon. He had to do it himself.

  Zuo Mo tried to reach towards the Anti Dragon Claw.

  In the moment that his hand touched the Anti Dragon Claw, an extremely brutal energy suddenly burrowed into Zuo Mo's body.

  Extreme fury!

  He felt the anger of the Anti Dragon Claw. Thunderous roars echoed in his mind intimidatingly!

  Zuo Mo was startled but he quickly calmed down. Compared to the vast brutal energies before, this energy was sharp but weaker, leading Zuo Mo to be more certain that the Anti Dragon Claw was in a weakened state. He found to his joy that his newly tempered body did not feel any discomfort when enduring this brutal energy.

  This made Zuo Mo overjoyed.

  The Anti Dragon Claw also noticed this quickly. Another gust of brutal energy entered Zuo Mo's body. Zuo Mo's body suddenly froze. This energy seemed the same as the one before, but when it entered Zuo Mo's body, he immediately detected the difference.

  Dark and cold!

  Extremely dark and cold to the point it almost froze Zuo Mo. At this dangerous moment, Zuo Mo hurriedly activated the Soul Setting Divine Light!

  The Soul Setting Divine Light was as wondrous as usual. This extremely cold energy was immediately set.

  Zuo Mo finally released a breath.

  But this energy was extremely cold and could not be absorbed like the previous brutal energies by Zuo Mo's mo matrix. This cold energy was extremely pure. Zuo Mo knew his own abilities and that it would not be easy if he wanted to process it with his own power. But if he did not process it, it may lead to great trouble.

  An idea sparked. He thought of the remaining sun matrices.

  There were still many hot flows from the Sun Crystal Seed inside the sun matrices. Would the hot and cold pair together well? His thoughts moved and Zuo Mo threw the extremely cold energy into a sun matrix.

  When this energy was thrown into the sun matrix, it was like cold ice poured into boiling oil and caused a great disturbance.

  In moments, the extremely cold energy disappeared and half of the hot flow in the sun script was gone. More of the new power fragments appeared.

  Zuo Mo was overjoyed. These unfamiliar power fragments were of great benefit to him.

  After digesting these power fragments, Zuo Mo continued to focus his attention on the Anti Dragon Claw.

  At this time, his hand was tightly gripping the Anti Dragon Claw. This was the first time he touched the Anti Dragon Claw. The dragon claw was covered in icy and hard dragon scales, but the dragon scales where he held the mo weapon were much finer than the scales elsewhere.

  More strands of the Three Thousand Strands of Worry burrowed into the Anti Dragon Claw and it trembled even more violently.

  At his time, the Anti Dragon Claw grew dim like it had lost all of its light.

  Zuo Mo gritted his teeth and reached into the Anti Dragon Claw along the Three Thousand Threads of Worry.

  Boom!

  It was like Zuo Mo's finger had been placed into a glacier. Great cold energies immediately exploded forth and spread into Zuo Mo's body from his finger. Grey frost headed for Zuo Mo at lightning speed.

  Not good!

  Zuo Mo paled. He suddenly understood, he had been tricked!

  The Anti Dragon Claw purposefully pretended to appeared weak to lure him. Such a cunning mo weapon!

  Just as the frost was about to cover Zuo Mo immediately, Zuo Mo unhesitatingly threw out his ultimate card—Soul Setting Divine Light!

  The Soul Setting Divine Light seemed small but it was unexpectedly powerful,

  Gritting his teeth, Zuo Mo released the cold flows towards the three remaining sun matrices. In moments, the cold energy that invaded his body had disappeared but so had the hot flows.

  Zuo Mo felt some pity. He finally understood what these hot flows were. They were the base source of the Sun Crystal Seed's power. If he could have processed them, it would have been greatly beneficial for his shen power and the Ten Crow Celestial Domain. It was a pity that the cold flow had been too powerful and he could not withstand it on his own.

  Fortunately, the two powers had destroyed each other and created those new power fragments.

  After this fright, Zuo Mo became even more cautious. The Anti Dragon Claw was valuable, but if he lost his life trying to tame it, then it would not be worth it!

  This cold energy seemed to be the last attack the Anti Dragon Claw had. The Anti Dragon Claw became almost lifeless in Zuo Mo's hand like a withered branch. It was extremely dim and there was none of its awesome presence that it showed before.

  Zuo Mo did not encounter any more resistance. His hand reached into the Anti Dragon Claw and easily touched the icy bone at the core.

  This bone seemed to be carved from ice. Zuo Mo couldn't help but shudder when he touched it. It was too cold! But Zuo Mo's face showed joy. He knew he had found the crux!

  The Three Thousand Threads of Worry seemed to understand that Zuo Mo had tamed the Anti Dragon Claw and shrank back out from the body of the Anti Dragon Claw. This was the first time Zuo Mo saw the Three Thousand Threads of Worry release the Anti Dragon Claw completely.

  Suddenly, Zuo Mo's hand was empty. The thick Anti Dragon Claw had disappeared and was replaced by a grey claw bracelet on his wrist.

  This bracelet was dim in color and nondescript.

  In this moment, Zuo Mo seemed to be dreaming.

  He had succeed?

  He had really succeed?

  A surreal feeling overwhelmed him. Had he subdued the sky mo weapon Anti Dragon Claw like this? Looking at the grey bracelet on his wrist, Zuo Mo's expression was slightly dazed. The entire process had been surprising but the attempt was almost unimaginably easy. It had gone so smoothly that Zuo Mo felt that there had been a problem somewhere along the li
ne.

  Zuo Mo quickly found that there really was a problem!

  No matter how he called out ot it, the grey bracelet did not respond at all. It did not react as though it was dead.

  Zuo Mo was stunned. Why was it like this?

  The great disparity made him almost throw up blood!

  Anti Dragon Claw! Where did my sky mo weapon, Anti Dragon Claw, go?

  The bracelet did not move at all and did not shine. No one would connect this dim article to the vicious and peerless Anti Dragon Claw.

  Depressed, Zuo Mo quickly sorted out his emotions. Right now, he had not completely escaped the present danger and he could not waste his time on this matter.

  He looked around and his gaze immediately landed on Marshal Yu.

  Marshal Yu did not look as at ease as he previously had. His face was white and he seemed to be wounded. Thinking about the earth-shaking conflict that had just occurred, Zuo Mo realized that Marshal Yu had probably been suffered a major injury.

  Zuo Mo's guess was very accurate.

  Marshal Yu had been greatly affected. It could be said that the blow he had received was much greater than others. One reason was because he had been closest to Zuo Mo when the battle had happened so he naturally received more of the collateral damage. The other reason was because he was the strongest person present and had the deepest understanding of power. Higher level powers affected him more than other people.

  However, his gaze flickered. He was wounded, but he was not demoralized. He was filled with confidence. He had been affected the most, but he had gained the most!

  If he could successfully recover, and could digest all that he comprehended today, his power would definitely go up a level.

  Zuo Mo also understood this and his gaze became vicious.

  At this time, Marshal Yu had gone through a hard battle and he was wounded. This was when he was weakest. Zuo Mo's own power had actually increased and he was at his strongest.

  If he waited for Marshal Yu to heal completely, the other was not someone that he could defeat under normal circumstances. He could not reach marshal level any time soon. Zuo Mo did not know what level Marshal Yu would reach after digesting his comprehensions today.
