Chapter 739 - 821 Soul-Stabilizing Bead
Boom!
The collision of the two created an indescribable energy storm that swept across the area, transforming the forest into a sea of fire in an instant.
Although the attack of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow was fierce, the Blue Dragon, transformed by a Top Grade Magical Artifact, was evenly matched in the clash.
Yet, in the end, the Blue Dragon had the upper hand, forcefully tearing apart the Flaming Tornado.
Chen Mo frowned because, in less than a breath after the Blue Dragon tore through the Flaming Tornado, the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow made its move. The talons, adorned with dragon scales, clawed fiercely into the dragon’s body like a rooster fighting a centipede.
The dragon scales shattered, releasing sparks of True Qi that dissipated into a flash of light.
After a brief battle, the dragon and sparrow finally determined a victor. In the sky, the Blue Dragon was torn apart by the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow, transforming into a long spear that plummeted to the ground, piercing it upright.
The ferocious might of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow remained as it dove towards Chen Mo with the grace of an eagle capturing its prey.
Song Jun had already revealed an expression of excitement.
"What kind of Demon Beast is this? So powerful..."
Facing the oncoming sparrow, Chen Mo was somewhat frightened.
It was his first time encountering such a fierce Demon Beast.
"Let’s test it with the physical body first!"
Chen Mo activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils to track the demon’s attack trajectory. With a swift movement, amidst the shocked gazes of the onlookers, he leapt forward like a humanoid beast to clash head-on with the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.
Just as the blue flames on the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow’s body were about to spread to Chen Mo,
a searing golden flame emerged from Chen Mo’s body, engulfing him in a vigorously rising blaze, yet not a thread of his clothing was damaged.
The spreading blue flames retreated back to the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow as if they had encountered a cat.
"Gulp..." The disciples outside swallowed their saliva, for Chen Mo appeared like an ant opposing a colossal demon beast.
And yet, these two entities of vastly different sizes
presented a scene of evenly matched combat.
The crowd was stunned by the sight, exchanging bewildered glances.
Years ago, there was Zhao Fujin.
Now there are Chen Mo and Song Jun.
Are all new disciples this fierce nowadays?
"Such a strong physical body," Elder Qiao commented. Having heard about Chen Mo from Song Jun, he initially thought Chen Mo was just a lucky kid, but now it seems not as simple as he said.
At least for the moment, Chen Mo is far stronger than he is.
Luckily, Song Jun couldn’t hear Elder Qiao’s thoughts, or he might have spit blood three feet.
In Song Jun’s mind, Elder Qiao rapidly formed hand seals.
The aura of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow surged again.
Chen Mo felt his hands were about to be crushed.
He hastily backed off.
It wasn’t that his physical body wasn’t strong enough, but that this demon beast was too fierce.
If he continued to withstand it, Chen Mo felt he would be shredded to pieces.
"Merak Flying Sword!"
Chen Mo multitasked, summoning the Celestial Inquiry Sword with the Merak Flying Sword to attack Song Jun.
Meanwhile, he wielded the Nine Thunder Profound Celestial Spear to entangle the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.
"Not good, it’s the Merak Flying Sword!"
During sect training, Song Jun had witnessed the power of the Merak Flying Sword.
This Divine Technique was also a signature of Zuoqiu Yiren, extraordinarily powerful. He quickly informed Elder Qiao.
"Where’s the Soul-Stabilizing Bead? Get it out quickly," Elder Qiao shouted.
"But Elder Qiao, you said the Soul-Stabilizing Bead shouldn’t be exposed, lest it attracts covetous eyes," Song Jun hesitated but seeing the flying sword, summoned the Soul-Stabilizing Bead stored in his mind.
With the Soul-Stabilizing Bead emerging from his mind, the oppressive feeling toward Elder Qiao vanished, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Soul-Stabilizing Bead floated before Song Jun, emitting ripples of golden light.
Celestial Inquiry shot forward, but upon colliding with the golden light, it was knocked down.
"Damn!" Chen Mo cursed as the golden light not only knocked down the Celestial Inquiry Sword but also prevented him from controlling it with the Merak Flying Sword.
"What kind of Magical Treasure is this?"
Chen Mo’s expression was somewhat serious.
"Soul-Stabilizing Bead!"
On Merak Peak, Zuoqiu Yiren, who had been lazily drinking wine, spat it out in surprise, sitting upright in the void. In her heart, she exclaimed: "It’s impossible, it can’t be the Soul-Stabilizing Bead..."
"Elder Zuoqiu, what’s wrong?" Zhao Fujin noticed Zuoqiu Yiren’s demeanor change and asked curiously, "Do you know that bead, Elder Zuoqiu?"
Zuoqiu Yiren did not respond, her beautiful eyes fixed upon the bead.
Regarding this bead, within the Shenxiao Sect observing the assessment competition, aside from Zuoqiu Yiren, who showed astonishment, the rest appeared curious, only wondering if the golden bead was some extraordinary Magical Artifact.
Within the Profound Spirit Mirror,
"Chen Mo, dying beneath the Soul-Stabilizing Bead is your fortune."
Song Jun’s Divine Sense maneuvered the Soul-Stabilizing Bead towards Chen Mo.
At that moment, Chen Mo felt as if his body was restrained, and the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow’s claw sent him flying.
Bang!
Chen Mo crashed heavily onto the ground, rolling several times before stopping.
Upon rising, he glanced down to find a few-centimeter-deep claw mark on his chest. Although the wound was healing swiftly, the sharpness of the claws was astounding.
"What on earth is that?"
Chen Mo gritted his teeth, more concerned with the bead above.
The golden rings emitted by the golden bead could immobilize him.
Seeing the demon approaching once again,
Chen Mo summoned the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner, once again summoning a Nascent Soul Realm ghost to face the enemy.
However, as soon as the eerie cold aura was released, the Nascent Soul Realm ghost was sucked into the golden bead above.
Chen Mo instantly lost his connection with the ghost.
"Damn..." Chen Mo couldn’t help but curse.
It was the first time since arriving in Primordial Heaven that he’d encountered such a frustrating situation.
He even sensed the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner’s dread of the golden bead.
Darn, a Dao Artifact.
An artifact even higher level than the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner.
"Retreat for now!"
A clever man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him; unsure of the situation with Song Jun, Chen Mo decided to retreat. Meanwhile, none noticed a red flag vanishing into the void.
Seeing Chen Mo fleeing without even his sword,
Song Jun could hardly let him escape and hastened Elder Qiao to give chase.
