Chapter 1069: The Strongest Body

Not a single person expected to hear such a preposterous plan. Who would imagine that Mo Wen would actually suggest leaving the city to fight Muhong City Mayor?
Everyone inhaled sharply. This young cultivator, what was he if not crazy? A lot of the higher level cultivators were starting to think this young man was unhinged. Before this, perhaps they had only felt this young man was foolish and impulsive… but now, foolish and impulsive were words to kind to be used to describe this young man. He was utterly and completely mad!
There were hundreds of thousands of Muhong City cultivators outside the city walls, and there were just as many spiritual power cannons too.
Hundreds and thousands of spiritual power cannons—what was going on? It was likely that even the Muhong City Mayor would be afraid of standing in front that many spiritual power cannons himself. To a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, the cannons posed a real threat. And at this time, Mo Wen was actually thinking of leaving the city! He would probably be turned to dust by the spiritual power cannons without the protection of Yingyun City’s stratagems.
“You can’t, you really can’t.”
Huai Hongxiu blanched. How could this person be this reckless? She had never seen someone as insane as Mo Wen before. She had initially thought she could rely on him to jointly take down the Muhong City Mayor, but now, was this person really reliable?
She felt despaired. Why would that senior send someone like this over? Was she serious about aiding them?
The Huai Clan second young mistress, who had been standing beside her older sister, was speechless. Back then, when she had first known with him, she did not think he was foolish. Why was she thinking that he was becoming more and more…
Mo Wen did not pay attention to the people who were trying to convince him otherwise. He bounded out right away, stepping out of the perimeters of Yingyun City in just two steps.
All of the cultivators in Yingyun City paled. There were hundreds of thousands of energy blasts being discharged outside the walls, so much so that even calling it a storm would be an understatement.
“Hurry up and come back…” The Huai Clan first and second young mistress both paled instantly. No one had expected for Mo Wen to be this headstrong. He paid no heed to any of their persuasions, and in any case, it was already too late to stop him now.
Exclamations of shock echoed from the city walls as everyone was screaming for Mo Wen to return. Regardless of what they thought of him, he was still on their side, and he was a force to be reckoned with. If he died because of the thousands of cannons firing, it would be such a sorry and wasteful end.
As for Mo Wen, he was visibly unaffected with the concerns of people behind him. He stood leisurely outside the city, so at ease that he walked about the city to take a short tour of the surroundings.
It was dark outside the walls, and all kinds of spiritual light filled his sight. The battle in the Immortal Cultivation World was an awe-inspiring sight indeed, but one that would end in untold destruction, in every sense apocalyptical. At least half of Yingyun Island had been utterly destroyed. The ground was full of craggy bumps and hollows, and there were deep cracks all over the place. Beyond the island, waves rose to be hundreds of feet high, surging violently upon Yingyun Island, as if they were about to swallow the island whole.
The cultivators had enough power to alter the nature of Heaven and Earth entirely. At the same time, they were also strong enough to destroy it.
Mo Wen might have been leisurely appreciating the sights of battle, but the cultivators on Yingyun City were stunned. All of them looked at him with varying expressions of fear and anguish, and everyone anticipating for when he would be torn to shreds by the storm of deadly beams of energy.
Rumble!
A wave of attacks was coming straight at him, but Mo Wen did not bother evading or even blocking. He welcomed it – and allowed the attack to strike upon his body.
Such attacks were nothing more than a scratch to him. He had cultivated the Celestial Body and therefore did not fear these attacks at all. He feared the power that could wipe him out in an instant, so what he faced now was no more than a mere drizzle.
Others might say his body was slight, and it had a smaller surface area for the blast to take effect, but he was not at all afraid, not even if there were thousands of spiritual power cannons firing at him at the same time.
“Hurry and come back, Mo Wen. The Muhong City Mayor will definitely strike you hard later,” Huai Hongxiu said urgently.
With Mo Wen’s cultivation, she was not too afraid of the mass of attacks outside. What she feared most was the Muhong City Mayor discovering he had stepped out, then commanding for all the cultivators and thousands of spiritual power cannons to attack him at once. That would be truly horrific.
The Huai Clan second young mistress paled instantly and called out ceaselessly for Mo Wen to return. She could not figure out why someone would run out like this, for absolutely no reason, to seek death. Even if he was not afraid of the spiritual power cannons, there was still the Muhong City Mayor outside as well as the hundreds of high-level cultivators.
Mo Wen ignored the shouts coming from behind him, and he took one step forward. He had just broken through to the Tide Changing Realm intermediary stage, and now wanted to test how strong the Muhong City Mayor really was. Naturally, he could not retreat.
“Huh?”
Hundreds of miles out, the Muhong City Mayor suddenly raised an eyebrow. He looked out in the distance, in the direction of Yingyun City, somewhat surprised. The mayor was a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, so everything with a radius of several thousand miles was within the range of his deified soul. The moment Mo Wen stepped out from Yingyun City, he had detected it immediately.
“That young man… He’s actually stepped out of the city at this time.”
The Muhong City mayor could not figure out what the young man was playing at, but a look of glee immediately flashed in his eyes. Coming out at this time was nothing if not seeking death. There was no way the mayor would pass up such a chance to take Mo Wen out, not when presented to him so fortuitously.
“Listen up, everybody. Aim your attacks at the young man who’s stepped out of Yingyun City. Fire all the spiritual power cannons. He must die!” The Muhong City Mayor ordered coldly.
His wrath had been unabated since that fateful day, and now his eyes turned red with bloodlust. Not even he would have dared to stand right in the face of thousands of spiritual power cannons; anyone would suffer grievous injuries when hit by it.
The mayor had been too hasty when he chose to meet the challenge of with that young man the last time, and he realized too late that he was ill-prepared. To think that that young man would now be running out to his own death.
RUMBLE!
An endless stream of attack surged forth. The attacks were no longer targeted at Yingyun City, all of it directed towards the young man. Like all rivers that ran into the sea, the attacks were pouring towards that one point.
“Hmm!”
Mo Wen laughed coldly. His Celestial Body had gone through years of cultivation, and it was much more durable than it was when he had been at the Creation Pool. It was unlikely for even the Muhong City Mayor to wound him now, much less such scattered attacks.
He looked without outward expression at the energy beams surging towards him. He intended to test the limits of the body he had cultivated over the years and see just how far it had come.
“Is that suicide?”
“My God, he’s not even trying to hide. Had he been thinking of killing himself from the start?”
“A madman. He’s a madman.”
…
The Muhong City Mayor, who had been thousands of miles away, was stunned. He could not believe what he saw, though he didn’t actually believe this one blow could kill that young man. After all, at his level, he could run even if he could not block that attack since his speed was not any slower than the average Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator. Killing him was unlikely, but he would still be severely injured, and that was more than enough.
However, the Muhong City Mayor could never have predicted that the young man would stand there instead of running, looking straight at the incoming attack streaming right at him.
Was he seeking death? Was he committing suicide?
The Muhong City Mayor was in a state of disbelief. This was highly unusual and would never happen under normal circumstances.
Was this a ploy?
He was in doubt for a moment, but he immediately shook it off. The aura coming off of the young man was his own, he was sure about that.
However, a scene that nobody had seen coming unfolded in front of their eyes. As the energy streams smashed into that young man’s body, it was deflected and sent surging upward, filling the sky with a wild and unrestrained explosion like bursts of fireworks and sending fierce winds across the land.
But what nobody had expected was that Mo Wen would still be standing there. He was standing where he had been, looking as he had been. He had not moved at all…
