882 The Secret Powerhouse

The beast king died immediately at Mo Wen's hands.

Mo Wen had not used the soul attack in the previous battle so could, at this crucial moment, kill with one strike.

"Die, b*stard!"

The old woman was furious. The beast was her beloved pet, and she had successfully reared it despite the difficulties it had brought her. She had paid a huge price to get this beast and usually treated it as her precious treasure. She cared about it very much.

The beast also meant that she was renowned throughout the Red Stone forest.

Someone had killed her beloved pet right in front of her.

A dark red circle rippled out from the old woman. The circles were like waves, coming one after another, each one layering over the one before. The ripple immediately reached Mo Wen.

The old woman had attacked out of anger, and one could imagine how powerful she was. Mo Wen could not do anything to defend himself because he had attacked and killed the beast. As such, he could only bear the brunt of the attack.

Crash!

Thunder and lightning crashed, and a gale began. Mo Wen and the old woman's palms collided.

The next moment, Mo Wen's body turned into an arc and he flew backward, colliding forcefully with a large tree. He hit several large trees before stopping.

The old woman's cultivation levels were terrifying. They were even higher than White Dust's. She was already in the third martial arts grandmaster realm.

Furthermore, her martial arts realm and battle experience were both astonishing, making her a terrifying opponent.

Perhaps she might not know rite of passage martial arts, but she was much more powerful than Lord Merciless.

Splat!

Mo Wen spat out a mouthful of blood, but he did not stop. He slammed his palm onto the ground and flipped over to a standing position. His body motion was executed perfectly, and he bounded into the distance like a bolt of lightning. He was definitely no match for the old woman and had to run away immediately.

"Damn it! Stay there."

The old woman was so angry that her face was pale, and her breath was uneven. The trees around her were disturbed by the aura leaking out from her, and they all exploded. Wooded shards filled the air.

She kept her eyes on Mo Wen and gave chase. The two flew and jumped several dozen miles in mere moments. In terms of body motion technique, she was still slightly inferior to Mo Wen now that she had lost the beast. The distance between the two grew wider and wider, and her target gradually disappeared from before her eyes.

"Damn it!"

The old woman could not find anyone to unleash her anger on. She slammed her palm heavily on the ground, and a large crater appeared.

"Damn it. I can't catch the rascal myself. However, the direction he is headed in seems to be the path to the Cold Pool Valley…"

The old woman suddenly calmed down. There was an odd glint in her murky eyes.

"This is heaven's will. That rascal deserves to die. He will die for sure when he finds his way to the Cold Pool Valley."

The old woman's expression softened when she thought of how terrifying the Cold Pool Valley was. Once the young man entered the Cold Pool Valley, he would certainly die.

…

The Cold Pool Valley was a forbidden region in the Heart of the Red Stone. All the criminals living in the Heart of the Red Stone knew it very well. They were not to enter the lands of the Cold Pool Valley; if they did, they would certainly die. All this while, the Cold Pool Valley was another term for death. Anyone who dared to step in there would not make it out alive.

Mo Wen wiped the blood away from the corners of his mouth and continued forward. Fortunately, he had a very strong physical body and was also protected by the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani. This meant that he had not been that badly hurt.

If anyone else had suffered such a terrible blow, they would have been severely injured and would have been unable to get up. They might even have been killed.

"There seems to be a valley up ahead."

Mo Wen continued forward. The two sides of the mountains became steep, showing him there must be a valley up ahead.

Mo Wen thought about it for a moment and decided to enter the valley to have a look. After a long chase, he had already lost his sense of direction completely. He did not know which direction he had to walk in to reach the City of the Lost. As such, he needed to find someone to ask for directions.

A valley like this was rather suitable for people to stay in. There might be criminals living there.

"That's not right."

The further Mo Wen walked, the colder he felt. After walking for a thousand meters, the temperature had become shocking. A warrior in the Embryonic Breathing Realm might not be able to withstand this coldness.

It had been this cold in the underground river of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.

The further forward he moved, the more the temperature dropped. He didn't know how much colder it would get.

Of course, Mo Wen was not worried about the cold. The Nine Yin Divine Technique that he cultivated in was a technique that countered the Yin and coldness. To him, the colder a place was, the more comfortable it was.

However, a valley like this was probably unsuitable for him to stay in.

Mo Wen started to get an ominous feeling. The valley was not ordinary. He started to hesitate and could not help but stop walking.

Danger was everywhere in the Heart of the Red Stone, and many dangers were unpredictable. Even Mo Wen did not dare to just barge around without thought.

Even though Mo Wen was curious as to why a valley like this would be so cold, it was not the time to explore. He decided to turn around and leave.

However, just as he turned around, a voice suddenly echoed throughout the valley.

"Why are you leaving? It's been several centuries since anyone dared to take a step in here."

The voice was very hoarse and sounded like rocks grinding against each other, making one feel uncomfortable. The voice was not loud, but it seemed to cover the entire valley.

"Only an idiot would stay here."

Mo Wen felt his hair stand up on end when the voice sounded in his ear. It was indeed creepy. He didn't say another word and turned to flee.

One had to be careful in the face of anything odd in a place like the Heart of the Red Stone.

As such, Mo Wen did not give it a second thought and immediately chose to leave.

"Humph, I told you not to leave, but you're trying to get away! Do you think you can?"

The voice rang out again. Following that, a weird aura spread through the entire valley.

Mo Wen suddenly felt his heart rate speeding up. This came without any warning, but it made him feel shocked and frightened. An immense sense of danger flooded through him.

This was the first time his heart had beat so quickly since he had entered the Red Stone forest.

Oh no!

Mo Wen had a sense that he had encountered great trouble.

At that moment, an enormous power enveloped the entire valley. Where the power passed, Mo Wen found it hard to breathe.

"Come over here by yourself."

A faint voice rang in Mo Wen's subconscious. The voice seemed to have a unique charm, and one could not help but follow its orders.

Mo Wen's eyes were dazed, and he subconsciously took two steps forward. Then, he immediately regained his wits.

"Deified Soul Power!"

Mo Wen was extremely shocked. The power that had affected him earlier was the Deified Soul Power! How was it possible? Was the person an immortal cultivator in the Primordial Soul Realm? Or was it a warrior who had become an immortal?

If it was an ordinary warrior facing such a Deified Soul Power, he would have entered the valley obediently. However, Mo Wen had the Deified Soul Power as well and he was already more than half deified. Even though the deified soul power had some effects on him, it was rather small.

However, only a warrior who had become an immortal could possess Deified Soul Power. He had never encountered any warriors who have such power while they were still warriors.

"Oh, you're not affected by my power! Then… What? Deified Soul Power!" The mysterious voice seemed to have suddenly sensed something. It sounded even more shocked when it spoke.
