Free Web NovelChapter 495: Chapter 492: Law (2)
The Desperate Mountain Range, though extremely dangerous, was incredibly rich in resources.
Whether it was Spirit Stone Veins, rare Spirit Medicines, or exotic birds and beasts, one could find them all here, as long as they had the strength to venture deep enough.
This was also why the Halls of Envoys from both the East District and North District refused to back down; neither was willing to give up a prize like the Desperate Mountain Range.
A golden light descended from the heavens, a phenomenon that made everyone believe a Precious Treasure had appeared, drawing countless powerful experts to this place.
But then, the Master of the Doomed Mountain Range emerged. He killed a member of the Palace Guard Army with a single, decisive blow. Not only did the Guard Army’s leader not seek revenge, but he instead adopted a humble posture, apologizing respectfully, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
The higher-ups from the two Halls of Envoys finally understood. Regardless of whether this Master of the Doomed Mountain Range was real or fake, he was not someone they could afford to provoke.
It was better to obediently follow his rules: only Cultivators below the Void Realm could enter to hunt for treasure. freёweɓnovel.com
They had thought there wouldn’t be much to gain this time. Who could have expected the Master of the Doomed Mountain Range to suddenly issue a mission, offering the entire mountain range as a reward for a single life!
Elder Ku Mu’s message didn’t just inform them of Mo Qi’s appearance, but also his aura and his Vajra Realm Cultivation.
And so, the Halls of Envoys from both districts went into a frenzy.
They summoned their true geniuses and awakened the exceptional disciples who were in seclusion preparing for the Demon Spirit Battlefield.
They now had only one goal: enter the Desperate Mountain Range, find Mo Qi, kill Mo Qi, and claim ownership of the Desperate Mountain Range!
As for those already inside the Desperate Mountain Range, they dropped everything they were doing.
Treasure hunting?
Was there any treasure more precious than the title of Master of the Doomed Mountain Range?
They believed that, given the immense power Elder Ku Mu had displayed, he wouldn’t make empty promises or deceive them.
As long as they could gain Elder Ku Mu’s approval and take the position of Master of the Doomed Mountain Range, they could have anything they wanted!
As for Mo Qi, ninety-nine percent of the people were absolutely confident they could kill him.
After all, according to the information provided by Elder Ku Mu, Mo Qi only had a Vajra Realm Cultivation.
In their eyes, this mission was far too simple.
The only question was, who would be the lucky one to find him first?
Obviously, it was first come, first served!
The initiative had to be seized!
And so, everyone began a sweeping search, venturing recklessly deep into the Desperate Mountain Range.
But that brought a new problem. The Desperate Mountain Range wasn’t their own backyard; its dangers still remained.
Whether it was the various Demon Beasts, the powerful Abyssal Demons, or the inescapable Array Restrictions, any one of them could claim their lives.
Furthermore, the two Halls of Envoys already had deep-seated conflicts, and they would break into brawls at the slightest disagreement.
For a time, the Desperate Mountain Range was filled with ceaseless combat and endless death. Rivers of blood flowed, and cries of agony echoed everywhere.
But none of this dampened the crowd’s enthusiasm for finding Mo Qi. In fact, it only made them intensify their search efforts and quicken their pace.
As the protagonist of this incident, Mo Qi had no idea he had been set up by Elder Ku Mu. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
He was even more clueless that he had become the target of a manhunt for everyone in the Desperate Mountain Range.
He walked through the dense forest, navigating to avoid danger while chatting idly with the Pig Emperor.
"Pig Emperor, I think I’ve gained some incredible new abilities."
The Pig Emperor paused. "Like what?"
Mo Qi leaped onto a large tree, hiding himself in the shadows. "It’s hard to explain. Just watch."
With that, Mo Qi slapped his palm backward behind him.
HISS!
A large, blue-patterned snake as thick as a bowl suddenly appeared, lunging at Mo Qi from behind with its cavernous mouth wide open.
"Watch out!"
The nearby Scab Chicken shrieked a warning, but had already scampered hundreds of meters away.
After striking with his palm, Mo Qi retracted it without even turning his head.
SHLICK—
The sound of flesh being split and torn apart rang out.
Before the Pig Emperor’s shocked eyes, the massive snake was split in two from its mouth all the way to its tail. Blood and guts scattered on the ground, as if it had been perfectly bisected by a sharp weapon.
The cut was smooth, without any hesitation, slicing cleanly through bone as well.
"That’s..." The Pig Emperor keenly sensed that in the instant Mo Qi struck, a peculiar power had twisted space, folding it into the shape of a blade.
The snake had charged right into it and was sliced apart by this spatial blade.
"Space Folding! That’s an application of the Space Law!" The Pig Emperor looked as if he’d seen a ghost.
"Even though it’s a rudimentary application, you only have a Vajra Realm Cultivation! Did you already comprehend a Law so quickly?!"
Mo Qi himself was startled.
He knew that his Nether Soul Flame had devoured the Void Spirit Flame and, after digesting it, had fed back some Energy that fused with his flesh and blood.
He had thought it was just a small perk from the Nether Soul Flame. He never expected it to be an application of the Space Law.
"Mo the kid, how did you do that?"
Mo Qi shook his head without answering. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and acted again.
This time, his target was the Pig Emperor.
The moment he focused his gaze on the Pig Emperor, the world seemed to sink into a quagmire. The motion of everything slowed down drastically, becoming nearly still.
When Mo Qi grabbed the Pig Emperor’s ear and lifted it in front of him, the Pig Emperor’s expression was still frozen in its initial state of confusion.
At the same time, Mo Qi’s Spiritual Power was being consumed at a terrifying rate.
He quickly closed his eyes.
"Huh?" The Pig Emperor’s startled voice rang out. "What happened? Mo the kid, when did you grab me?"
The Pig Emperor hadn’t seen Mo Qi move at all. One second he was several meters away, so how was he suddenly caught?
"No, wait!" With the Pig Emperor’s extensive knowledge, it immediately realized something. "This is the Divine Eye of Time! The Time Law! You just accelerated your own flow of time, which is why I couldn’t react!"
Mo Qi fought back the dizziness from overexerting his Spiritual Power and the stinging pain in his eyes as he nodded.
Using the Eye of Time took a massive toll on him. At his current strength, he could use it only once in a short period.
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"
Seeing Mo Qi nod, the Pig Emperor cursed three times in a row.
"That’s the Time Law! Mo the kid, you’re going to defy the heavens!"
"Given time, once your comprehension of the Space and Time Laws deepens and your applications become more advanced, then even without the Power of the Dragon Vein, ordinary Immortals won’t be able to do a thing to you!"
Mo Qi rubbed his eyes, not feeling happy at the Pig Emperor’s words.
’If Mother left these for me, then she must have also mastered these two Laws. But she was still defeated and sealed by Queen Mo Yan, which means these two Laws aren’t as powerful as one might think.’
Hearing this, the Pig Emperor opened his mouth to speak but then hesitated.
’The power of the Space and Time Laws is undeniable.’
’The fact that Mo Qi’s mother was defeated by Queen Mo Yan... there must be more to that story.’
