125: Crushing defeat! The despair of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!
When Shen Yuanmo's voice rang in his ears, The strong and sturdy cultivator's blood seemed to freeze instantly.
He didn't even see how the other party moved!
Fast!
So fast that it was completely incomprehensible!
His battle-hardened body, driven by the instinct to survive, reacted at top speed.
"Blazing Fire Sweeps the Plains!"
He roared, his Golden Core frantically circulating, and vast fire-attribute magic power surged out as if it were free!
Boom!
A sea of crimson flames instantly spread out from him in all directions!
This was no ordinary flame, but their Blazing Fire Li Family's renowned "Heart-Burning Blazes"! This fire not only had an extremely high temperature but could also directly burn the Divine Soul, making it incredibly malicious!
This was his trump card, a life-saving ultimate technique!
He refused to believe that at such a close distance, the opponent could remain completely unharmed!
As long as he could obstruct the opponent for an instant, just an instant! He would have a chance to create distance and reorganize his offense!
However, all his fantasies were mercilessly shattered in the next second.
Shen Yuanmo looked at the oncoming sea of flames, capable of instantly melting steel, with not a trace of expression on his face.
He didn't even make a move to dodge.
He simply stepped into the sea of flames as if taking a leisurely stroll.
"Chirp... chirp chirp..."
The Heart-Burning Blazes furiously scorched his body, emitting a grating sound.
But then, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Those flames, capable of burning metal and turning stone to ash, not only failed to harm him in the slightest upon contact with Shen Yuanmo's body but were instead madly absorbed into every pore of his body, like swallows returning to their nest!
Bathed in the sea of flames, he was not only unharmed, but the aura around him faintly grew stronger!
"This... this is impossible!"
The strong and sturdy cultivator's eyes nearly popped out, his face filled with horror as if he had seen a ghost!
His Physical Body contending with the Heart-Burning Blazes?
No!
This wasn't contending! This was... devouring and absorbing the Heart-Burning Blazes!
He was actually absorbing his own Heart-Burning Blazes!
What kind of monster is this?! What Cultivation Technique is he cultivating?!
The strong and sturdy cultivator's Dao Heart completely collapsed at this moment!
From Shen Yuanmo's calm eyes, which seemed to be looking at an ant, he saw something.
It was an absolute... crushing, originating from a difference in life levels!
They were not existences of the same dimension at all!
"Run!"
This was the only thought left in his mind!
He no longer had any Battle Intent, bit down hard on his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of his Vital Blood Essence!
"Blood Escape Great Technique!"
The ball of Blood Essence exploded in the air, transforming into a bloody mist that enveloped his entire body.
His figure instantly blurred, about to transform into a streak of blood light and flee desperately towards the horizon!
This was his last life-saving trump card; performing it would cost him at least several decades of Lifespan, and his cultivation would even regress by a minor Realm!
But now, he couldn't care less!
He just wanted to escape!
Escape from this devil that made him feel suffocated and despairing!
"Trying to leave?"
Shen Yuanmo looked at the blood mist about to escape, a cold arc forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Did I say you could leave?"
He slowly raised his right hand and made a grasping motion towards the blood mist.
"Space, solidify."
Buzz—!
A barely perceptible soft sound.
The space within a hundred zhang around The strong and sturdy cultivator, at this moment, seemed to instantly transform from a flowing liquid into an indestructible transparent amber!
The blood mist enveloping him, along with his figure that was about to escape, was eerily frozen in mid-air, unable to move!
The expression on his face still held the madness and ferocity of his desperate escape.
But his eyes were completely filled with endless, bone-deep fear and despair!
Space Law!
This kid could actually manipulate Space Law!
This... this was a Domain that only a Nascent Soul True Lord could dabble in!
Who exactly was he?!
What kind of monster was he?!
Endless regret, like a surging tide, completely drowned his reason.
He regretted it.
He truly regretted it.
He shouldn't have come!
He shouldn't have listened to Fourth Elder and come to this godforsaken place to hunt down such a... Prodigy, who could not be judged by common sense!
"Now, let me show you what real fire is."
Shen Yuanmo's voice, like a death sentence, echoed in his ears.
He slowly walked to The strong and sturdy cultivator, who was restrained in mid-air.
He extended a finger.
A wisp of flame, as thin as a strand of hair, shimmering with five-colored glazed treasure light, quietly rose from his fingertip.
That wisp of flame looked so tiny, so harmless.
But The strong and sturdy cultivator, the moment he saw this wisp of flame, his Divine Soul screamed and trembled madly!
From that wisp of flame, he felt an extreme fear, originating from its Origin, capable of burning away heaven and earth, and incinerating all Laws!
"No... no..."
He wanted to beg for mercy, wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't move a single finger or utter a single syllable.
He could only watch helplessly.
Watching that young man flick that wisp of five-colored flame, which seemed capable of burning his Soul, towards his glabella.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
No shrill, despairing screams.
The moment that wisp of five-colored flame touched The strong and sturdy cultivator's glabella, it silently merged into his body.
The next moment.
The strong and sturdy cultivator's body began to burn from within.
His flesh and blood, his bones, his Golden Core, his Divine Soul... everything, under the scorching of this Five-Colored Glazed True Fire, silently annihilated and disintegrated from the most basic particle level.
In less than a breath's time.
A living, breathing Late Golden Core Stage Grand Cultivator, who could have walked sideways in Baiyue Prefecture, thus completely vanished from this world.
Not even a trace of ash remained.
As if he had never existed.
Shen Yuanmo stood silently, withdrawing his finger.
He glanced at the Storage Pouches left by the two Cultivators and, with a casual wave, collected them into his embrace.
Then, he raised his head and cast his cold gaze towards two other directions in Linjiang City.
He could feel that the remaining two Li Family Cultivators had been alarmed.
Currently, they were rushing towards him, regardless of anything.
"That's good too."
"It saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."
Shen Yuanmo's figure slowly ascended into the sky.
He did not leave.
He just waited there quietly.
Waiting for those two... prey, who were actively coming to their deaths.
