Chapter 495: Chapter 61: Mo Kang’s Ultimate Technique
What made Mo Kang take a second look was Yue Jinghua’s Primordial Spirit, a Primordial Spirit as brilliant as the star Venus.
Even during the era a thousand years ago when Mo Kang lived, where Dark Practitioners did not yet underestimate spiritual cultivation and only focused on Dark Skill, very few people at Yue Jinghua’s age could cultivate such a strong Second Primordial Spirit.
Part of the reason Mo Kang was able to cultivate his Primordial Spirit was that when he was young, he learned a Spiritual Power Technique, which although was superficial, it helped preserve the last vestige of his Primordial Spirit’s power when his physical body was devoured by the Dragon Transformation Pond.
To hide from his enemies and conceal his movements, he sealed away the Sky Dragon Palace, but even so, the power of his Primordial Spirit continued to dwindle like a candle burning over a thousand years.
Just then, the Sky Dragon Palace was unintentionally opened by one of his descendants’ widow, and with the influx of Holy Beasts from Holy Beast Mountain and the entry of Dark Practitioners, Mo Kang could only hide within this unstable Opportunity Transmission Array.
This is the origin story of the Dragon Slayer Hero legend.
Neither by age nor by his Dark Skill cultivation should Yue Jinghua possess such tremendous Primordial Spirit power.
"Girl, I see that you haven’t cultivated your Primordial Spirit for long, so why is your Primordial Spirit’s power so strong? Could it be that you possess some Miracle Technique for Primordial Spirit cultivation? If you really have such a technique, this old man is willing to exchange with you," Mo Kang worried that if his Primordial Spirit continued to diminish, he would eventually dissipate completely.
Luckily, Yue Jinghua appeared.
Only someone with sufficiently strong spiritual power cultivation could perceive the state of a Second Primordial Spirit, and Yue Jinghua, having accidentally damaged her physical body, could clearly discern Mo Kang’s location.
Yue Jinghua hesitated for a moment; she didn’t know any formidable Spiritual Profound Skill, but relied solely on the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique and guidance from Qing Pu.
Having encountered such a high-level expert at the Dark Heavenly Peak, even if he had only a wisp of Primordial Spirit left, how could she not try to gain something from him and be a true fool if she didn’t?
Yue Jinghua was certainly not foolish; she quickly schemed and said, "Senior Mo is too polite. I indeed possess some unique Spiritual Technique, but it is a family heirloom that cannot be casually revealed, unless..."
"Unless what? Just speak freely, anything that this old man has," Mo Kang was desperate, seeing his Primordial Spirit on the brink of fading, what could be more urgent than strengthening the Primordial Spirit.
"To not conceal from Senior Mo, my current plight is all due to the harm caused by several Holy Beasts from the Five Saints Mountain, but alas, my Dark Skill cultivation is too weak," said Yue Jinghua, sighing deeply.
"Hmph, they are nothing but mere Tom, Dick, and Harry of the Five Saints Mountain. When I was alive, they were just greenhorns, not even fit to carry my shoes," Mo Kang snorted, "Girl, I see that you have agile limbs, sensitive step technique, and sharp eyes, which are signs of great natural talent. Having dealt with Dark Beasts for many years, aside from a complete set of Dragon Slayer Holy Armor, I’ve also figured out some tricks. After summarizing them, I have developed a set of Dragon Slaying Fist, have a look."
After Mo Kang spoke, he exhaled a turbid breath, and his Primordial Spirit flickered,
Compared to before, his wavering Primordial Spirit appeared much brighter.
He demonstrated a punch and a kick, using both fists and legs, performing a set of impressive Dragon Slaying Fist.
With each punch thrown, the sound of the wind roared, and each move was perfectly executed, not using even a bit more Dark Power than necessary.
This set of Dragon Slaying Fist, though named for slaying dragons, also incorporates elements of birds and beasts, tailored for different Dark Beasts with no more than seven or eight moves, but excelling in its flexibility and adaptability, applicable in a myriad of ways.
Yue Jinghua’s skills were diverse; her Sword techniques were learned from Yun Zhao, and her use of Dark Power was learned from Old Kulu.
Both of these instructors, one a strong member of the Dragon Clan and the other a leading Dark Practitioner, taught her high-level moves.
Alas, not a single person used smart strength, while Mo Kang’s set of fist techniques not only utilizes smart strength but also exercises every muscle and bone in the body, truly ingenious to the extreme.
After demonstrating the Dragon Slaying Fist, Mo Kang had Yue Jinghua try it; seeing she had memorized the Dragon Slaying Fist clearly after just one iteration, he was quite pleased with her intelligence.
After Yue Jinghua learned the Dragon Slaying Fist, she suddenly said, "Senior, are we safe hiding here? What if those cunning Dark Beasts discover us while I transmit the Spiritual Profound Skill to you, wouldn’t that be terrible?"
Mo Kang responded nonchalantly, "Don’t worry, this Dragon Palace is built by my hands, moving according to my will. It exists if I want it to exist and perishes if I want it to perish. If I am really pushed to the limit, I can just destroy everything, and the entire Dragon Palace will be turned into dust."
Then, Yue Jinghua breathed a sigh of relief and took out a drop of Green Liquid, handing it to Mo Kang.
"Senior, actually I am a Pill Master. You should first use this Green Liquid to strengthen your Divine Soul. Once your Divine Soul has somewhat recovered, I will teach you a family heirloom Spiritual Strengthening Technique," Yue Jinghua said sincerely.
Mo Kang accepted the Green Liquid but didn’t consume it immediately. After confirming that the Green Liquid indeed contained powerful Spiritual Essence, he absorbed and consumed it.
As soon as the Green Liquid entered his body, Mo Kang felt his Primordial Spirit like a desperately thirsty person who had just drunk a mouthful of clear water, feeling refreshed all over, and his Primordial Spirit also brightened a bit.
"Senior, here is some more Green Liquid, please take it slowly," Yue Jinghua said as she took out a small bottle of Green Liquid.
Mo Kang, unabashedly delighted, received the Green Liquid and eagerly took a big gulp.
Just then, Yue Jinghua felt her body suddenly stiffen, and she felt her Primordial Spirit being pulled back by a tremendous suction force.
From a corner of the Transmission Array, a powerful and vast Power of Life surged forth.
Struck as if by lightning, Mo Kang muttered, "A sacrifice, someone is using the forbidden art of sacrifice, trying to reverse life and death."
Bones transformed into beauty, rotten bones regrowing flesh, the legendary art of sacrifice, unexpectedly appeared during this time within the Opportunity Transmission Array.
As Yue Jinghua’s Primordial Spirit retreated, Mo Kang erupted into wildly joyful laughter, "Heaven has not treated me unfairly, a life sacrifice, enabling the body to be eternally undying. As long as I seize that body, I, Mo Kang, will be reborn."
His Primordial Spirit turned into a streak of light and shadow, following closely behind Yue Jinghua’s Primordial Spirit, sweeping toward the direction where the Power of Life was surging.
Inside the Opportunity Transmission Array, Weiwei chanted in a soft voice. Beside her, large quantities of bright green Power of Life drifted like will-o’-the-wisps beside summer tombs.
"Using the Earth Breath, bestowing the Spiritual Essence of Life, using the Power of Wood, reviving the decaying body. Earth and Wood obey my command, sacrifice my soul, offer my body, revive," Weiwei’s whole body emanated spiritual power as she chanted, and the Power of Life from inside and outside the Transmission Array surged towards her rapidly.
A green light Sacrifice Array emerged from underneath Weiwei, like a sun breaking through a foggy dawn.
For a moment, light overflowed everywhere.
With her command, those Powers of Life entered the Nirvana Fire Array.
In the Nirvana Fire Array, the fire suddenly intensified, and the already charred and lifeless body and face of "Yue Jinghua" underwent changes.
