Chapter 363: Chapter 354: Not a Few Acquaintances

"It’s been a long time."

Seeing Yao Wuliang’s gaze bearing down, brimming with killing intent, Mo Wangchen simply responded with a cold smile.

Their meeting instantly subdued the atmosphere of the scene, and many held their breaths. Yao Wuliang’s Cultivation was of the seventh turn of the Nirvana Realm, far stronger than anyone present. Now with his aura revealed, he was pressuring everyone so much their complexions slightly changed.

However, the majority of Yao Wuliang’s imposing aura, like a great mountain, loomed over Mo Wangchen, intending to completely crush him.

But everyone could clearly see that Yao Wuliang’s oppressive aura, upon nearing Mo Wangchen, collapsed into nothingness, dissolving into the void.

"The Sacred Body breaks all spells!"

Someone exclaimed. It was rumored that Mo Wangchen had reached the Holy Rank Body, capable of withstanding the great powers of the contemporary Saint Venerables, his Body Sanctification impenetrable by all spells. Yao Wuliang’s oppressive momentum had not affected Mo Wangchen in the slightest.

Following Yao Wuliang, many others stood up from their places, each with a grim expression, their eyes fixed on Mo Wangchen, among them the Little Peng King Zhou Tong and the Chu Family’s Saint Chu Youtian.

"There seems to be no shortage of familiar faces."

Mo Wangchen nevertheless smiled calmly, "Many of you here have once been defeated by me..."

"You!" Zhou Tong clenched his teeth, finding Mo Wangchen’s arrogance unbearable. Even if he had achieved Body Sanctification, he wasn’t invincible in this world. Here, there were not only the geniuses of the Tiannan lands but also numerous Saint Heirs from beyond.

"The esteemed Little Peng King Zhou Tong carries the heritage of the Ancient Kunpeng Bloodline in him. The blood of an Ancient Divine Beast flows in your veins. And yet, now you collude with the Yao Clan. Don’t you find that shameful?" Mo Wangchen looked toward Zhou Tong and couldn’t help but mock.

With those words, the tension in the scene escalated even further. Indeed, as Mo Wangchen had said, the Kunpeng was an Ancient Divine Beast, while Yao Wuliang’s Qiongqi Bloodline was from an Ancient Fierce Beast known to prey on the flesh and blood of Divine Beasts.

Their legacies should have been at odds, yet now they had joined forces, which was indeed contemptible to many.

"I have heard that the Tian Nan Divine King Body has reached the Holy Rank, capable of shaking the great powers of the contemporary Saint Venerables. I, Duan Wuhao of the Nine Nether Land’s Fuyun Manor, have long wanted to experience Brother Mo’s superb skills!"

Swoosh!

A youth spoke and stood up, having been seated at the same table as Yao Wuliang, indicating the two were together.

Hum!

Duan Wuhao took a step forward after speaking, and a Divine Rainbow burst forth from within him. It was a Heavenly Holding Duster that, in the blink of an eye, grew to the size of a mountain. The duster whisked through the void as swiftly as the stroke of a pen, and in an instant, a vast ’Killing’ character emerged. Carrying an astonishing presence, like the collapse of a snow mountain, it thunderously fell, attempting to suppress Mo Wangchen on the spot.

"Duan Wuhao’s Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo, the Heavenly Holding Duster!"

"It’s said that this Heavenly Holding Duster can mimic and inscribe various powerful spells. With this Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo, Duan Wuhao is said to have mastered thousands of spells in the world."

"The technique he is mimicking now is the Killing Technique of the Beiming Lin Family!"

The crowd was astounded, not expecting Duan Wuhao to act so decisively, taking direct action and even inscribing an Ancient Dao Technique.

"Such a powerful aura. Though it’s just a mimicry, its strength seems no weaker than mine!" Lin Jing, who had also arrived, furrowed her brows, her eyes revealing a flicker of shock.

Hisss!

Yet, just as the crowd was astonished, they only saw Mo Wangchen standing tranquilly. With a subtle step, a Golden Sword streaked from within his body, slicing through the air. The piercing Sword Light penetrated the void and, in the blink of an eye, cleaved the Killing Technique in two.

Whoosh!

The Golden Sword flew swiftly, its speed exceeding everyone’s expectations. In a flash, it arrived before Duan Wuhao, as if meaning to eradicate him on the spot.

"Do not!" From the distant void, Liu Yiyi arrived in a rush, her voice attempting to halt the action.

Hum!

The Golden Sword paused in the void, poised just before Duan Wuhao’s brow. Had it advanced a fraction more, Duan Wuhao would have already shed blood.

He gasped for breath, the sensation from a moment ago leaving Duan Wuhao with a profound encounter with the breath of death—his first such vivid experience from beginning to end.

Mo Wangchen, he truly intended to take my life!

"If this were not within Feixue Pavilion, you would now be nothing more than a corpse," a cold voice spread throughout the room, as Mo Wangchen’s gaze fell upon Duan Wuhao, void of any emotion.

"This is the true strength of a Divine King Body!"

"What exactly is inscribed on his Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo that allowed him to shatter Duan Wuhao’s attack directly? And just now, had it not been for the Feixue Saintess’s interjection, Duan Wuhao might already have been slain on the spot!"

Many were internally shaken by the sudden turn of events, which caused them to instinctively rise from their seats.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned toward Mo Wangchen, their eyes filled with wariness, including those geniuses from outside the star domain who had not met Mo Wangchen before. Previously, they had merely heard of his exploits, but now, upon their first encounter, the strength revealed by him was immensely unsettling.

It should be known that Duan Wuhao was the Saint Heir of Fuyun Manor, with cultivation at the seventh rotation of the Nirvana Realm, and among all present, save for Yao Wuliang, none would dare claim they could best him.

And yet, at this moment, the strength Mo Wangchen displayed showed he could take Duan Wuhao’s life with ease!

Hum!

The Golden Sword returned to Mo Wangchen’s body, and at the same time, Liu Yiyi also arrived. Seeing that no life had been lost, she let out a sigh of relief, "My friends, calm your anger. We are all here to discuss and exchange Daoist knowledge; let us set aside past grievances for the moment."

Upon hearing this, everyone sat back down. Duan Wuhao’s complexion was slightly pallid as he was escorted to his seat by Zhou Tong and Yao Wuliang.

Mo Wangchen was led by Liu Yiyi to a spot to sit down, right beside Chen Yihao and next to Wu Lingfeng.

"Brother Mo, with your Divine King Body achieving Sanctification, you are capable of shaking the current Saint Venerables, which is indeed a cause for celebration!"

"With Body Sanctification, looking across the younger generation beyond, no one of this age has reached such a step. Brother Mo’s great talent will surely become renowned throughout the entire Canglan Star Domain!"

After Mo Wangchen took his seat, many geniuses from outside the domain toasted to him from across the space; the strength Mo Wangchen had revealed deepened their profound shock.

"The woman who was once with you, do you know of her whereabouts now?" Suddenly, from a place next to Liu Yiyi, a woman posed the question.

Mo Wangchen turned his eyes to her, recognizing her as the Yaochi Saintess, Qin Yue, his former senior sister.

However, now as the Yaochi Saintess, Qin Yue had severed ties with the past, and they had long since become strangers to each other.

Mo Wangchen knew that she was inquiring about Yaoyao. Perhaps by now, Yaochi Immortal Palace had also become aware that Yaoyao was actually the reincarnation of the Saintess from a hundred thousand years ago.
