The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 419 Wang Yuanxing_1
Wang Yuanxing, as the First-rank Priest of the Bright Sand Country and the most powerful cultivator in the Wando Archipelago, possessed formidable strength!
Even though the nature's spiritual energy was meager here, the evil cultivation method he practiced relied on an endless supply of common men and women as sacrifices. These sacrifices allowed him to advance his cultivation level and refine demonic artifacts. Furthermore, the immortal sect that had taken refuge here two or three thousand years ago left behind numerous inheritances, so he lacked neither magic nor martial arts.
Compared to cultivators from the Five Great Sects at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, Wang Yuanxing's only inherent shortcoming was the insufficient True Yuan in his body. Otherwise, his techniques were no weaker than theirs.
Having dominated the Wando Archipelago for hundreds of years, such a long period had allowed his cultivation methods and magic treasure to reach the limits of the Spirit Sea Realm!
Any magic he chose to perform had reached a state of Perfection in the cultivation world, even the Senior stage as defined by the panel.
The magic artifacts he casually threw out were top-grade profound level, or even middle or low-grade spiritual level!
Upon their first exchange, Shen Mo knew this man's Skills were not weak. He was an incredibly difficult opponent, on par with a Hall Master from the Riverside Sect.
The Ruyi Soul Stealing Needle was entangled by a skull-shaped Spiritual Artifact.
The Big Dipper Sword Array he deployed also plunged into the bloody mist emanating from the Blood Pool, as if falling into a thick, viscous quagmire. Slicing through all the mist would be no easy task!
Instantly, he unequipped the Special Destiny [Martial Performance], activated [Insight into All Beings], and offered ten middle-grade Spirit Stones.
SHHH...
The Spirit Stone powder trickled from his fingertips, and information about Wang Yuanxing was fed back to his panel.
[Human: Wang Yuanxing]
[Realm: Spirit Sea Realm Layer IX]
[Summary: This cultivator is from the Wando Archipelago. Since childhood, he followed a Sixth-rank Priest for his cultivation and reached the rank of Seventh-rank Priest at the age of fourteen. By a fortunate chance, he discovered his parents had been killed by his Master's Blood Sacrifice Magic. He also learned that his Master taught him cultivation merely to obtain a high-quality sacrifice. After a period of scheming and struggle, this cultivator killed his Master, obtained all his possessions and legacy, and began his rise to become one of the strongest in the Wando Archipelago. He has cultivated dozens of Evil Magics, including five low-grade spiritual level cultivation methods, most of which have reached the Perfection stage. The primary low-grade spiritual level cultivation method he practices, the "Spirit Reversing Scripture," has reached the Elite stage and is capable of seizing the origin power of others to augment his own cultivation.]
[Weakness: Due to practicing Evil Magic, he is classified as an evil cultivator/demon. Attempts can be made to injure him using (Uncommon Victory).]
He killed his Qi Gathering Realm Master when he was only in the late Body Tempering Realm. What a ruthless man! Shen Mo mused.
As for Wang Yuanxing possessing numerous potent Evil Magics, Shen Mo wasn't surprised.
A wealth of information he had gathered along the way proved that the group who first arrived in the Wando Archipelago three thousand years ago were originally members of immortal sects. Only those with cultivation could overcome the many perils at sea, travel a million li, and escape the demonic calamity! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
It's not to say that cultivation methods passed down two or three thousand years ago were necessarily powerful; however, after so many years of development, they have been modified to be perfectly suited to the "cultivation environment" of the Wando Archipelago, even evolving into spiritual level Evil Magics...
It must be known that evil cultivators in the Red Flame Country, under the suppression of the Five Great Sects and various other powers, are like rats scurrying in the shadows. It's difficult for them to develop systematically on a large scale, and few manage to learn spiritual level cultivation methods!
Undoubtedly, the unique environment of the Wando Archipelago is exceptionally suitable for the likes of evil cultivators. If the evil cultivators from the Red Flame Country were to learn of this place, they would undoubtedly strive by any means to come here!
As for Wang Yuanxing's weakness, Shen Mo did perceive it when he employed his offensive techniques, thanks to the aid of the Special Destiny [Uncommon Victory]. However, achieving a decisive blow still seemed somewhat difficult.
It could only be said that this top expert of the Wando Archipelago truly lived up to his reputation. His mana, vitality, soul, cultivation methods, magic artifacts, and so on, were all extraordinary, and he possessed no fatal flaws! To slay him, Shen Mo would have to confront him head-on, relying on superior techniques, as there was absolutely no opportunity for trickery.
Immediately, Shen Mo unequipped [Insight into All Beings] and equipped the [Chanjue] Destiny!
Because the panel only had two slots, he had to adapt to different situations by pairing different Special Destinies as needed.
[Chanjue] allowed Shen Mo to sense impending danger, useful whether in combat against others or exploring Dungeons. The other Special Destiny he had equipped, [Uncommon Victory], was specifically to counter evil cultivators like Wang Yuanxing...
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
Though a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, Shen Mo's actions were without hesitation. Dazzling streams of sword Qi burst forth from the Demon Slaying Sword, slashing towards Wang Yuanxing. His newly grown arm and head also coordinated to unleash numerous Great Palm Seals with varied effects, bombarding Wang Yuanxing.
Currently, this First-rank Priest of the Bright Sand Country had already employed numerous powerful techniques, such as the skull Spiritual Artifact, the human bone pagoda, and the cloud of defiled blood... Shen Mo refused to believe this man could produce more techniques of the same caliber to resist his Universe Sword Qi and Constellations Palm.
When it came to the variety and power of his techniques, Shen Mo considered himself second to none beneath the Golden Core Realm... even if his opponent was a Hall Master-level figure from the Riverside Sect!
Facing the ferocious sword Qi and Great Palm Seals, Wang Yuanxing continuously deployed various magic artifacts and cast defensive magic, expending considerable effort to block this wave of attacks.
At this point, he no longer held a shred of contempt for the young cultivator before him!
Despite his young age, he possesses such powerful methods... What on earth is the background of the Riverside Sect?
Even for Grade I Upper Sects like the Hehuan Sect and the Nine Abysses School, as recorded in ancient texts, their Spirit Sea Realm cultivators shouldn't possess such prowess!
No.
If this continues, I might actually lose to this kid.
A flash of blood-red light flickered in Wang Yuanxing's eyes as he intoned, "Spirit Reversing Magic, Reverse Yin and Yang!"
A boundless, dark crimson light surged from his body, its aura seemingly connecting with every part of the Bright Sand Country's Capital City.
In the next instant, Shen Mo felt as if heaven and earth had overturned, the cosmos inverted. The information fed back to his mind from his five senses and spiritual sense became utterly chaotic.
The scenes he perceived were inverted—front and back, left and right, up and down—all reversed. Wang Yuanxing was clearly in front of him, yet his eyes and spiritual sense both "informed" him that this formidable enemy was now standing behind him! Moreover, Wang Yuanxing appeared upside down, feet pointing upwards and head downwards, his face to the rear and back to the front, facing away from Shen Mo!
It wasn't just Wang Yuanxing; every other object perceived by his sight and spiritual sense was in this bizarre, disorienting state.
Furthermore, the scents detected by his nose and spiritual sense had also become strange! The distinct, nauseating stench of blood now smelled exceptionally sweet. The faint, pure fragrance emanating from himself and Senior Sister Jiang Lingfeng, a mark of their accomplished cultivation, had transformed into an unbearable, sickening stench that made one want to retch!
His sense of touch, which could normally perceive the sharpness of the Demon Slaying Sword, now registered it as incredibly dull. Conversely, a gentle breeze that should have been harmless now caused his skin to sting with pain...
His five senses—sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch—along with his spiritual sense, were all thrown into a state of inversion and chaos!
