Supreme Demon God

Mo Xiu's cultivation base had stayed on the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm for a while.

After this time of polishing, his foundation had become extremely stable, and it was almost time to ascend to the Foundation Building Realm.

Returning to the Mo Family's mansion, entering the room, Mo Xiu immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

As the Universe's Origin Heavenly Art was operated, the surrounding Spiritual Energy rushed into his body frantically and was transformed into invisible True Energy, which was stored in his Dantian.

"Boom…"

With a bang in his body, Mo Xiu's cultivation base was raised from the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm to the 1st level of the Foundation Building Realm almost effortlessly. Along the way, there were no bottlenecks either, as if as long as enough Spiritual Energy was absorbed, his cultivation base breakthrough could be broken through as easy as drinking water.

After breaking through to the 1st level of the Foundation Building Realm, Mo Xiu did not stop practicing but continued to frantically absorb the Spiritual Energy around him.

The 2nd level of the Foundation Building Realm, the 3rd level of the Foundation Building Realm, the 4th level of the Foundation Building Realm...

About an hour later, after raising the cultivation base to the 9th level of the Foundation Building Realm, he stopped meditating.

After slightly consolidating the 9th level of the Foundation Building Realm, he got up and walked out of the room.

Before, his cultivation base was only on the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm, even if his cultivation technique was the Universe's Origin Heavenly Art, when the Soul Devouring Knife couldn't do its job, it would be difficult to deal with the ghost-masked person who had the cultivation base of the early stage of the Spirit Vessel Realm.

Now that he had cultivated to the peak level of the Foundation Building Realm and had many methods, he could go and kill the ghost-masked man and Song Qian.

But before that, he still had to find a way to increase his speed. After all, his current cultivation base was not as good as that of the ghost-masked man. With the difference of two great realms of cultivation, his and that ghost-masked man was naturally different.

Once that guy saw a bad situation and wanted to escape, he must have the ability to stop the opponent. Otherwise, he would have to work only for nothing instead.

If a person wanted to increase his speed, there were generally two ways. One was to cultivate his body, and the other was to use external objects.

The cultivation of the body was based on one's own ability, and the use of external objects was based on the power of objects.

As the strongest Demon King in the Realm of Heaven before, Mo Xiu naturally had a lot of body techniques in his previous life, but it took a certain amount of time to cultivate the body techniques, which was far less rapid than using foreign objects.

There were also many kinds of foreign objects that could increase speed. Flying sword was one of them and the most common one used to increase the speed at the same time.

However, Mo Xiu did not have the materials for refining flying swords for the time being, and he also could not spot any first-class materials either. As long as it was not the first-class materials, he would not be satisfied with the refined flying sword.

The reason why flying swords were the most common foreign object used to increase speed was because few people knew that there were other things that could be used to increase speed. Also, even if they knew there were other things, they couldn't get it.

Mo Xiu knew a lot of things that could be used to increase speed, but he didn't use them.

He decided to cultivate a secret art, a secret art that allowed him to walk through the air with his current level of cultivation.

The Imperial Spirit Secret Art was not considered as a body technique. The so-called walking in the air was actually based on external objects, and this external object was the Spiritual Energy that filled the heavens and the earth. But since most people could not see it, so it was no different from walking in the air.

Not surprisingly, a cultivator could still walk through the air to a certain level. He did not even need to rely on external objects. It was enough to rely on his own powerful True Energy. Therefore, the former Mo Xiu had only practiced the Imperial Spirit Secret Art for a period of time. After his cultivation base improved, he never practiced or used it again.

This kind of secret technique was just a small method. If he really wanted to increase his speed, it was still better to cultivate the body technique. But again, it took a certain amount of time to cultivate the body technique, so he had to kill that ghost-masked man and Song Qian first before talking about this again.

In his past life, Mo Xiu had already practiced the Imperial Spirit Secret Art, so now, it was no different from reviewing the lesson again, so it was not difficult at all. It only took less than half an hour before he had mastered the Imperial Spirit Secret Art.

After activating this technique, the invisible Spiritual Energy started to entangle around Mo Xiu's body rapidly. After but a few seconds, he soared into the air and flew in the direction where the ghost-masked man and Song Qian were perceived.

...

A wilderness far away from Sun Martial City.

The ghost-masked man let go of Song Qian and found a place to sit and rest.

"Thank you, Lord Zeng." Song Qian saluted the ghost-masked man.

Among the four masters of the Yan Kingdom, there was only one Zeng Canghai, and the identity of the ghost-masked man was indeed Zeng Canghai.

Prior to this, Song Qian was also the lord of Azure Prefecture and the lord of Fu City, holding one hundred thousand elite soldiers, and he was also a Core Formation expert. He was highly regarded by Yan Wuji. Even if he faced one of the four masters, Zeng Canghai, he did not need to be polite and respectful.

But now, Song Qian's 100,000 armies were gone, and even his own life was saved by Zeng Canghai, so it was natural to be polite to Zeng Canghai.

Zeng Canghai glanced at Song Qian, "Lord Song, you should thank His Majesty instead. If it were not for your respect towards His Majesty, do you think I would save you? In the situation just now, if I ignore you and go directly to Mo Xiu, I'm afraid Mo Xiu is already dead in my hands by now."

"Yes, yes, His Majesty's kindness is immeasurable."

Song Qian smiled wryly, and then asked, "Has Lord Zeng already seen through that Mo Xiu?"

"Yeah."

Zeng Canghai nodded, "That Mo Xiu himself has a low cultivation base, only the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm, but he has a lot of methods, especially the kind of Spiritual Consciousness technique that can kill people invisibly. Wan Yixuan should be planted in that kind. But I am not Wan Yixuan, that kind of Spiritual Technique can't deal with me."

"Only the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm?" Song Qian frowned.

After pondering for a while, he said again, "Lord Zeng, you have been saying that you want to kill Mo Xiu from just now to now. Doesn't His Majesty want to kill Yan Ran and capture Mo Xiu alive?"

"Originally, I wanted to capture Mo Xiu alive. After all, the Alchemy League intervened, saying that Mo Xiu was probably the reincarnation of a Pill King and could not be killed, but His Majesty also had his considerations. This Mo Xiu has repeatedly opposed him, so it is naturally excellent to be able to catch alive. But if we can't catch him alive, we will just kill him. Even if he wants to go to the Alchemy League, there is nothing he can do about it." Zeng Canghai explained.

"So that's the case." Song Qian understood, but soon became a little curious, "Is that Mo Xiu really the reincarnation of a Pill King?"

"I don't know, but it's very likely." Zeng Canghai said, taking a deep breath, "Do you know why he can practice the Spiritual Consciousness technique?"

After a pause, he said, "He has the Spiritual Consciousness technique for only one reason, and the other reason is that his Spiritual Consciousness is extremely powerful, which is stronger than the Spiritual Consciousness of any strong man I have ever seen. His Spiritual Consciousness can even be described with the word "horror", so it is not impossible to say that he is the reincarnation of a Pill King."

"..."

Song Qian was stunned. He thought that the reincarnation of a Pill King was pure nonsense. But it turned out that it was not impossible at all. No wonder Mo Xiu was able to rise at such a fast speed.

"Lord Song, it was hard to say clearly before. Actually, I don't agree with you leading one hundred thousand elite soldiers to attack the Mo Family, but now that one hundred thousand armies are gone, you have already suffered heavy losses, and I am in a trouble too."

Zeng Canghai glanced at Song Qian, "It's just that you are the pastoralist of the Azure Prefecture, and the Azure Prefect is also an important border town. Your turf may be invaded by the enemy of another country, so I advise you to return back and re-enlist people to prevent the situation from getting out of control."

"Lord Zeng thinks the enemy state is coming to attack my Azure Prefecture?" Song Qian asked with a frown.

"Be prepared so you won't be in trouble." Zeng Canghai gave him a quick glance.

"Lord Zeng is right, but..."

Song Qian hesitated for a while, and finally expressed his inner worry, "If I returned to Azure Prefecture immediately, won't I run into Mo Xiu on the way?"

"You think too much." Zeng Canghai shook his head slightly, "No matter how defiantly strong Mo Xiu is, it is impossible for him to know that you and I are not together, not to mention he is far inferior to me. It's him who should find a place to hide in a hurry, so how can he have the courage to run out and die here? But I can't let him find a place to hide either, I'll return to Sun Martial City to kill him later, so you don't need to worry."

"What you said makes sense." Song Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately bid farewell to Zeng Canghai.

But before he could leave, a figure fell from the sky without even a bit of warning. It was Mo Xiu.

"You... why are you here?" The moment he saw Mo Xiu, Song Qian was stunned.

"To kill you." As Mo Xiu said, he slammed Song Qian's body with a punch.

Hearing a "bang" sound, Song Qian was lifted off the ground and flew out abruptly. Before landing, half of his body exploded. His blood exploded out, which looked a bit pretty like a firework.

Zeng Canghai was also stunned. But in a split second, he quickly stood up from the ground, looked at Mo Xiu, and said in disbelief, "How did you find us?"

"..."

Mo Xiu knew everything in his heart but didn't answer.

In fact, when Zeng Canghai was preparing to escape before, he had already left a mark of Divine Consciousness on Zeng Canghai and Song Qian, but neither Zeng Canghai nor Song Qian could detect it.

With the mark of his Divine Consciousness, even if Zeng Canghai and Song Qian fled to the ends of the world, he could still find these two people, which was why he was relieved to let them leave before.

It was precisely because of this that when Mo Ruyi asked before, he said that the escape of the two was only temporary.

Zeng Canghai still didn't know that there was a mark of Divine Consciousness left on his body. Although he was surprised, he calmed down quickly.

Looking at Mo Xiu with a cold face, he sneered, "It just so happens that I originally wanted to go back to Sun Martial City to kill you, but I didn't expect you to come here by yourself. Since you are rushing to reincarnate, I don't mind making your wish perfect!"

With this, his majestic True Energy rushed out. His whole person seemed to become a black arrow, mixed with a burst of air-breaking sound, and rushed towards Mo Xiu without any delay.

Mo Xiu moved his hand and blasted out a punch.

"Boom…"

After an exploding sound, Zeng Canghai snorted painfully as he was blasted away frantically.

Mo Xiu's fist also exploded, but before blood could spew, a green light flashed, and his fist returned to its original appearance as if it had not been hurt even the slightest bit.
