Vol 5 Chapter 57: The Path to Dominance
These twenty-plus arms weren't illusions or the handiwork of the Spell Elental. Mo Yu wasn't even carrying the Spell Elental with him. Though he no longer had the Spell Elental's help to manifest multiple arms for the Eight-Ard Heavenly Demon Sword Path, in his current state, Mo Yu didn't need its assistance anymore.
The Slaughter Immortal Physique could enhance cultivation realms or mystical abilities during acts of slaughter. In the Origin Realm, he naturally wouldn't choose to improve his cultivation base. So during the killings, his avatar had been using the essence of slaughter to enhance the "Three Heads and Six Arms" technique. This divine ability had effortlessly reached perfection.
With Three Heads and Six Arms, Mo Yu could similarly execute the Multi-Ard Heavenly Demon Sword Path. But most crucially, after usurping the Dark Emperor's body, he'd actually gained nine tails as flexible as arms - these tails could also function as arms to wield sword techniques.
Moreover, since the avatar had now ford a contract with the main body, their connection had deepened not only with each other but also with the Ice Soul Gu. Compared to before, he could now rge with the Ice Soul Gu more seamlessly, effortlessly controlling its eight "arms" during fusion.
Six, nine, eight - in his current peak state, why would he need to manifest additional illusory arms? If he wished, he could produce over twenty arms without issue. And these twenty-plus arms weren't just for show - each could genuinely unleash formidable power!
The Three Heads and Six Arms provided artifact power bonuses, the nine tails granted dark energy enhancents, while the Ice Soul Gu itself bestowed sword technique mastery...
"The Eight-Ard Heavenly Demon Sword Path of Demon Emperor Tianchou can't compare to my Twenty-Three-Ard Heavenly Demon Sword Path."
Mo Yu's eyes flashed as he unleashed his full combat power, charging straight at the teor Spirit Beast. From their earlier clash, he'd discerned that the teor Spirit Beast was still injured, not yet restored to peak condition - this was undoubtedly the best opportunity to deal with it.
"Damn it!"
Facing Lin Jing's assault, the teor Spirit Beast struggled to comprehend - this guy... wasn't just about having perfected demonic bloodline. There was even a terrifying dark energy about him that felt strangely familiar yet unplaceable. Combined with that tyrannical killing intent, the fusion of three powers made the teor Spirit Beast feel like it was seeing another Sheng Kun.
This guy's strength... had definitely reached the level of the Demon Sect's Sacred Son! The teor Spirit Beast's assessnt wasn't far off - Mo Yu alone might have lacked so foundation, but after fusing with the quasi-celestial grade Ice Soul Gu, his combat power had reached its peak.
Crash!
The twenty-three-ard Mo Yu relentlessly pursued the stone-bodied teor Spirit Beast, exemplifying the principle of striking while the iron was hot. As the teor Spirit Beast retreated step by step, Lin Jing was also astonished. Though he could sense the teor Spirit Beast struggling against Mo Yu's full-powered assault, its terrifying defensive capabilities baffled him - this thing... endured countless sword strikes with only superficial cracks, showing no signs of sustaining any substantial damage!
Tens of thousands of years had tempered the teor Spirit Beast's body to sothing even more formidable than perfected demonic physique.
"Enough!"
Amid the fierce battle, the teor Spirit Beast shouted, "Coming here, you shouldn't have intended just to fight . Speak! What do you want to discuss? If you don't stop now, I'll definitely annihilate you here!" Killing intent radiated from the teor Spirit Beast too. Though currently not in optimal condition, one shouldn't forget - this was the Star Dust Realm, its stronghold, with countless spirits stationed here.
Facing this threat, Mo Yu halted because his spiritual sense had detected countless spirits of the Star Dust Realm unknowingly taking positions within nurous grand formations. At the teor Spirit Beast's re thought, countless stellar killing arrays would activate, trapping and eliminating him instantly.
Not being one to fight two against one, Mo Yu naturally wouldn't accuse the other of treachery. He spoke calmly, "My purpose here is simple - I wish to discuss cooperation with you!"
"Cooperation?" The teor Spirit Beast coldly regarded Mo Yu. "What possible cooperation could we have?"
"Heaven-Earth Sect." Mo Yu stated, "I want to invite you to join the Heaven-Earth Sect."
"Heaven-Earth Sect?" The unfamiliar term initially puzzled the teor Spirit Beast, but it soon recalled what this organization was - established by the acting city lord of Xianlin City, with Lady Nethersoil and dozens of other spirits having joined it!
The teor Spirit Beast couldn't comprehend why beings like Lady Nethersoil would join such an organization. It had sent agents to investigate but found nothing.
Wait... Mo Yu was a demonic-blooded cultivator. How could he be connected to Lin Jing and the Heaven-Earth Sect?
"A spy... you're actually a Cultivation Alliance spy planted in the Demon Sect!" The next mont, the teor Spirit Beast exclaid in realization. If Mo Yu wasn't its own planted agent, then he could only be a spy cultivated by the Cultivation Alliance!
"I'm not a Cultivation Alliance spy," Mo Yu said, "but I am indeed a mber of the Heaven-Earth Sect."
"teor Spirit Beast, consider this - you're leading these spirits in rebellion precisely because you don't want to beco nourishnt for external cultivators, because you want to break free from immortal restraints, right? Join the Heaven-Earth Sect. We can grant you freedom, help you leave the Origin Realm!"
"Is this what you wanted to discuss?" The teor Spirit Beast chuckled darkly. "And if I say no?"
"Then the Star Dust Realm need not exist anymore, and you'll die today." Mo Yu declared. A fully-powered teor Spirit Beast would indeed be troubleso to deal with, but after its battle with Sheng Kun, he believed he could handle it!
Plans had changed - he'd decided that if the teor Spirit Beast wouldn't submit today, he'd follow the example of those two celestial spirits and eliminate a competitor early. But if he could subdue it, he'd be one step closer to dominating the Origin Realm!
"You? Do you realize your life hangs by my whim right now?" The teor Spirit Beast laughed heartily as the entire realm's formations began glowing.
But the next mont, its laughter abruptly ceased.
The Mo Yu before it had reverted to his original form - a fox it recognized all too well.
This fox...
Then, a phantom appeared beside the fox - the projection of Lin Jing, sect master of Heaven-Earth Sect and deputy city lord of Xianlin City. Standing beside his avatar, Lin Jing's projection spoke, "teor Spirit Beast, you don't actually think killing my beast with these formations would end matters, do you?"
"My Beast Master Sect possesses a secret art - at the cost of cultivation realm regression, a beastmaster can revive their contracted beast. aning even if you kill him, I can resurrect him indefinitely."
"I possess the Longevity Immortal Physique with infinite lifespan, and have mastered the Heavenly Demon Body. Even if my realm falls to mortal level, I can easily return to the Nascent Soul Transformation stage."
"How many tis can you kill him?"
"Choose now - cooperation or destruction. I'll even let you try killing him once at full power before deciding. Go ahead."
"Mo Yu... is actually your contracted beast?!!!" The teor Spirit Beast, which had been confident until now, hadn't been shaken even upon learning Mo Yu was part of Heaven-Earth Sect and allied with Lin Jing. But discovering that Mo Yu - whose combat power approached its own peak - was rely this Lin Jing's beast caused violent tremors in its dao heart!
