Chapter 692: The Appearance of the Beast Wave

A faint beam of light flashed once and then vanished in the sky full of poison mist. In the blink of an eye, it traveled a few hundred meters. Its speed was astonishing.

A look of amazement flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. He focused his gaze. With his vision, he could tell that it was a Five Colored Spider that was multiple times smaller.

This Five Colored Spider was only the size of a palm. Its body flashed with brilliant colors and was shiny and smooth, like a newborn child.

“Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique!”

Mo Wen was quite shocked. The Five-Colored Spider had mastered the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique. This technique was quite renowned in the Immortal Cultivation world. Very few people could master it. This technique was remarkable even among immortal cultivators. Similarly, only a few especially talented Devil Clan members could master such a remarkable power.

Mo Wen had not expected that such a remarkable immortal cultivator power would be used by a monstrous beast.

The Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique was the type of technique that shed the outer shell and caused one to be immediately reborn. If one was not a match for the enemy, it was a first-class secret technique for escaping.

The beginning stage Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique involved destroy one’s outer shell and regrowing another one, allowing one to flee. This method of the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique had a high price because it involved giving up one’s body that had been cultivated for many years.

The intermediate stage Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique involved assuming another shell and escaping with one’s own body. This method was a more mature stage of the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique. It could protect one’s own body, and thus the price was considerably smaller.

The later stage Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique allowed an individual to transfer attacks, finding a substitute to instead receive the blow, while one disappeared without a trace. This was the highest stage of the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique. Those who could master this stage could be said to have mastered the technique.

The Calamity Substitute Talisman that Mo Wen had obtained from the Dafang Sect’s secret treasure chamber contained the secrets of the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique within it. Of course, the Calamity Substitute Talisman was the true absolute treasured talisman. It was not as simple as just containing the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique.

It was clear that the mastery of such a technique could only be achieved by a creature of advanced power.

Based on mere talent, the Five Colored Spider was not comparable to the snake type Beast King. It did not have an Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit, Demonic Spiritual Treasure or the ability to control its Demon Elixir. But it had the Inherent Skill that belonged to the Five Colored Spider Clan: the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique.

However, the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique mastered by the Five Colored Spider was obviously fairly crude. It wasn’t even at the level of the first stage. Otherwise, Mo Wen would not have been able to discover the Five Colored Spider that was multiple times smaller. Instead, it would have disappeared without a trace. Mo Wen would not have even known when it escaped.

The smaller Five Colored Spider was rather fast. Mo Wen would most likely not be able to catch up even if he unleashed the Glory of Wind. However, the shrunken Five Colored Spider did not have any abilities. He did not need to chase it himself.

Mo Wen narrowed his gaze. In an instant, a change occurred. Two Tai Chi Diagrams, one blue as the sea and one red as the sun, appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, a huge Tai Chi Diagram image appeared in the sky. The red and blue Yin Yang Fish released beams of light.

The miniature Five Colored Spider, which had already flown more than a thousand meters, suddenly stopped. Then, as though it was under an Immobilization Technique, it froze in mid-air, as though time itself had stopped.

“Yin Yang Shift!”

Mo Wen’s two hands formed a circle in front of him. His sleeves shook slightly and the Tai Chi Diagram in the sky suddenly turned. The next moment, the miniature Five Colored Spider disappeared from its original position, as though it had experienced a spatial conversion. An instant later, it returned to the valley, less than ten meters away from Mo Wen.

“No…”

The miniature Five Colored Spider let out a frightened sound, its figure struggling non-stop. After using the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique, its cultivation was even lower than that of a pinnacle of the seventh rank monstrous beast. How could it possible withstand the binding of the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift?

If it was at its prime, it would most likely be difficult for the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift to bind it. But the Five Colored Spider in its current condition could not withstand the power of the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift at all.

“How is it possible? What martial arts teaching of yours is this… impossible, absolutely impossible…”

No matter what, the Five Colored Spider had not expected that even when its Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique had been unleashed, it would be unable to escape from this human ancient martial art practitioner. How could a human ancient martial art practitioner possibly be so powerful? It was practically incomprehensible.

Also, what Mo Wen had unleashed just now did not seem to be ancient martial art practitioner martial arts teachings. How was it that it was even more bizarre than its Inherent Skill?

Mo Wen retrieved some low-grade Recovery Lights from the medicine spiritual ring. Although the might of the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift was astonishing, its expenditure of Inner Qi was equally so. In just an instant, it had expended nearly half of his Inner Qi.

Mo Wen had many low-grade Recovery Lights. He was not afraid of wasting them and used all of them on himself.

The Five-Colored Spider was trapped in the Tai Chi Diagram image, unable to escape at all. Its eyes were full of fear.

Mo Wen waved his hand and the miniature Five Colored Spider flew towards him. He released a mass of flame and clasped his hands together, immediately crushing the miniature Five Colored Spider and burning it to ashes.

Specks of starlight appeared in the valley. The colorful poison mist gradually dissipated. More and more starlight surround Mo Wen, frenziedly surging into his body.

When all of the starlight had vanished, Mo Wen’s cultivation once again increased by a large margin. The aura on his body became richer and more drawn out.

His Inner Qi cultivation had already surpassed that of an ordinary pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner and was now gradually approaching the heights of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Maybe, when he killed another Beast King, he would be infinitesimally closer to becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

A blue light and a red light appeared before Mo Wen. They were a top-grade Healing Light and a top-grade Recovery Light.

After killing a Beast King, as expected, two top-grade light tools had dropped. Mo Wen’s luck was good. Every time he killed a Beast King, at least two top-grade light tools would drop. However, this time, a talisman had not dropped.

Right now, he had five top-grade Healing Lights and three top-grade Recovery Lights on him.

After killing the Five Colored Spider, Mo Wen did not stay too long in the valley. He discovered that a few Beast King monstrous beasts, attracted by the shockwaves of the battle, were approaching and so immediately turned to leave.

After Mo Wen left the valley, he began to explore around the island. Along the way, he encountered quite a few Beast Kings. However, he always chose to escape, not having the desire to kill another Beast King.

Time passed slowly. Mo Wen estimated that in another two hours, one day would have passed.

Right now, four Lights of Life still burned in the sky. The way things were going, if there were no accidents, passing the third stage would most likely not be a difficult feat.

The Beast King Island was very large. There were valleys, forests and mountains; and even a desert and a few large lakes. He had encountered all types of Beast Kings. There were those that crawled on the ground, flew in the air and swam in the water.

Although his current cultivation may not be a match for some Beast Kings, escaping was not an issue.

The most dangerous moment was when Mo Wen was surrounded by eight Beast Kings, and even then he escaped, shocked, but unscathed.

Just as Mo Wen thought it would continue on like this until the task ended, a bizarre change suddenly occurred.

In the sky, a crimson sun had appeared. As it began to vibrate, wave after wave spread slowly across the surrounding earth and sky. In a short while, it had enveloped the entire Beast King Island.

“What is that?” Mo Wen looked incredulously at the sky. He did not sense any danger from the waves. It shouldn’t be of any harm to them. It did not seem like any power, instead, it appeared to be a message. The crimson sun seemed to be transmitting a message throughout the entire Beast King Island.

A message transmission!

Mo Wen was shocked. Aside from the human ancient martial art practitioners, the only other beings on the island were Beast King monstrous beasts. He did not understand the meaning of the crimson sun’s waves. The message was clearly being transmitted to the Beast King monstrous beasts on the island. Mo Wen swiftly realized that there would be changes on the Beast King Island.

The crimson sun’s waves disappeared as quickly as they had appeared. Just as all the waves disappeared completely, four beams of crimson light suddenly shone down from the sky, shining on four parts of the island simultaneously.

One of the beams of crimson light landed on Mo Wen. Immediately, a crimson Qi enveloped Mo Wen’s entire body. The crimson light was rich beyond compare.

Mo Wen discovered that he could not evade the crimson light shining on him at all. The crimson light disappeared in a short while, but a layer of crimson light enveloped Mo Wen’s body. No matter what he did, he could not get rid of it.

“Blood Spirit!”

Mo Wen suddenly thought of a possibility. After he had killed Hou Jingfeng and when he received the punishment of the Tower Spirit, not only had his cultivation reduced by quite a bit, but a layer of crimson light had also enveloped his body. It was called the Blood Spirit.

The Blood Spirit had no other purpose in this space than to attract monstrous beasts to attack him. It was like a person wearing a large lightbulb in the dark night: it was impossible for him not to draw the attention of others.

The Blood Spirit enveloping his body had only disappeared once Mo Wen had received the next task.

Now, however, the Blood Spirit on Mo Wen’s body was a hundred times richer than the one that had enveloped him after he had killed Hou Jingfeng.

“That’s too cruel.” Mo Wen immediately understood the Tower Spirit’s intentions. Now, all the Beast Kings on Beast King Island could instantly find him.

Rumble!

Mo Wen had no more time to think. The entire Beast King Island suddenly changed drastically. The heavens and the earth shook. It seemed as though the entire island was moving.

Mo Wen suddenly looked at the sky, narrowing his gaze. His expression was sullen beyond compare.

In the sky above, shadows appeared. They were not dark clouds, but monstrous beasts. A large number of bird type monstrous beasts had formed the shadow.

Hundreds and thousands of bird type Beast Kings seemed to have flown up into the sky in an instant. They were circling Beast King Island, seemingly searching for something.

On the ground, the mountains, the earth, and the trees all trembled.

Mo Wen discovered that terrifying auras, one after another, seemed to have locked on to him and were constantly approaching his position.

“Beast Wave!” A phrase appeared in Mo Wen’s mind.
