Chapter 14: Haotian Unleashes Power
“Damn it! Completely no flaws, but with the power of the Silent Sleeve Arrow, it’s impossible to pierce its body.”
The fierce battle continued. To prevent the Strength Ant from affecting Tang San’s Soul Ring Absorption, Ling Mo tried his best to lure it away.
If he really wanted to leave, Ling Mo was completely confident, but… he wanted this Soul Ring.
Yes, he had set his sights on the Strength Ant’s Soul Ring. From the various attribute characteristics shown by the Strength Ant, this Soul Ring was very suitable for Ling Mo.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was used to the extreme, doing his best to dodge the Strength Ant’s attacks.
Retreating to the top of a large tree, before Ling Mo could dodge, the Strength Ant’s heavy forelimb had already slapped over.
“Desperate measures!”
Nowhere to dodge, Ling Mo fought back fiercely. The power of the Strength Ant flowing in his body erupted at a certain moment.
A fierce punch blasted out, instantly… the mountain forest let out a loud bang, and Ling Mo’s body was sent flying entirely.
“Cough cough… such terrifying power!”
No good, the enhancement from the Five-Colored Divine Light was indeed terrifying, but Ling Mo’s Soul Power was too low, completely unable to withstand the Strength Ant’s power head-on.
“Looks like I can only try that move!”
In an instant, Ling Mo jumped up from the ground, instantly condensing a Great Hammer in his left hand.
Blue lightning flickered, and a black Hammer suddenly appeared in Ling Mo’s hand.
That’s right, this was the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one tool Martial Soul in the Douluo world.
Using the super distant vision of the Dual Pupils, Ling Mo directly captured Tang San deep in the mountain forest and undoubtedly stole his Clear Sky Hammer.
With the Clear Sky Hammer in hand, Ling Mo was like a god descending to earth, his terrifying power rapidly increasing, his aura soaring.
Even the Strength Ant felt a trace of panic; that was the pressure from the Martial Soul.
“Such surging power, it feels like my body is going to explode…”
After the terrifying power of the Clear Sky Hammer entered his body, the Five-Colored Divine Light in Ling Mo’s body operated at extreme speed, already reaching its limit.
This was the evolved version of the Clear Sky Hammer, even more terrifying in power than the original. At this time, Ling Mo’s power could no longer support its continued growth.
“Go die for me!”
Instantly rising from the ground, Ling Mo swung a hammer in mid-air. In that instant, endless Lightning swept down, like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring down, with a destructive aura sweeping in.
Boom…
A deafening sound echoed through the forest, startling countless birds and beasts into fleeing.
“Not good! Xiao Mo is in danger…”
At this time, the Master beside Tang San was burning with anxiety. Seeing the astonishing loud noises coming from that side from time to time, his heart grew more and more restless.
He really wanted to go over and see what exactly was happening, but he couldn’t. Once he left here, Tang San would be in danger.
In the Soul Hunting Forest, there were already many Soul Beasts. During Tang San’s Soul Ring Absorption process, it was absolutely not allowed to be interrupted, otherwise he would undoubtedly die.
The Master was completely caught in a dilemma, unable to leave or stay, only able to worry anxiously in place.
“I hope this child can turn danger into safety!”
Even though he was extremely worried, the Master could not leave here and could only pray that Ling Mo could survive under the Strength Ant.
A rumbling loud bang came again, and a fierce gale blew through the mountain forest, startling countless birds and beasts into fleeing.
After this loud bang, the mountain forest returned to calm once more, and the battle… seemed to have subsided.
At this time, a hundred meters away, there stood a lonely figure, and on the ground lay a huge corpse.
Ling Mo held the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and gratefully glanced at that figure in the Darkness, then powerlessly fell down.
The Strength Ant was dead, but Ling Mo had also entered a state of exhaustion, with no strength left in his body and his Soul Power depleted!
Under the intense impact to his body, his face was extremely pale. This time… though he had shown off, Ling Mo had bet correctly.
After nearly half an hour, Ling Mo finally awoke from the depleted state.
The Strength Ant was now on its last breath, not completely dead. Ling Mo now only needed to slowly walk to its side, finish it off with one sword, and he could absorb its Soul Ring.
“Xiao Mo, are you okay!”
Suddenly, a person rushed out from the mountain forest. It was no one else but Tang San.
The Master followed closely behind. Despite pushing his speed to the limit, he still couldn’t catch up to Tang San.
“I’m fine! Just a bit exhausted…”
Ling Mo powerlessly shook his arm and explained. The Master came to his side, confirmed that Ling Mo was okay, then turned his gaze to the Strength Ant and suddenly revealed a surprised look.
“A four-hundred-year Soul Beast! Still infinitely close to the absorption limit for a first Soul Ring!”
“Xiao Mo, quick, absorb this Soul Ring! This Soul Ring is very suitable for you, one that you can only encounter by chance and not seek!”
The Master urged anxiously. The Strength Ant was already on its last breath, about to kick the bucket soon.
“Good!”
Without another word, Ling Mo stepped forward directly, holding a Short Sword in his hand, and ended the Strength Ant’s life.
A yellow Soul Ring slowly emerged, purer than Tang San’s by a bit.
“Guard your origin, use your Martial Soul to sense the existence of the Soul Ring…”
The Master instructed from the side, while Tang San took on the role of protector.
Just now, he had just awakened from the Soul Ring Absorption state. Upon learning from the Master that Ling Mo had lured this Soul Beast away alone to avoid disturbing his Soul Ring Absorption, he felt deeply moved inside.
From the moment he came to this world, he had never felt this way before—about a friend, a closest friend.
Perhaps at that moment, he regarded Ling Mo as his best friend in his heart.
This was also why he had rushed over desperately just now, even leaving the Master behind.
“Teacher, Xiao Mo absorbing this Soul Ring won’t cause any problems, right?”
Tang San asked with concern. He could feel that the resentment produced by this Soul Ring was even heavier than that of the Mandala Snake.
The intensity of a Soul Ring was determined by the resentment produced when the Soul Beast died; the greater the resentment, the greater the risk of absorption.
This Strength Ant’s resentment was very heavy; forcibly absorbing it like this was probably dangerous.
“It should be fine. Xiao Mo this child’s disposition is extremely firm. You’ve known him for so long, you should be able to see that.
Although he appears carefree and unrestrained on the surface! But in reality, he is more steady than anyone else, and… he is very smart, terrifyingly smart!”
The Master couldn’t help but praise him. Among the people he had met, Ling Mo’s performance was the most satisfactory to him.
Although he seemed less steady than Tang San on the surface, he was actually very good at concealing strength. All the current circumstances were a facade he presented to others.
For example, when they first met him, what he did to that Gatekeeper—all his actions were hidden very deeply.
Even Tang San and the others hadn’t noticed, and the Master naturally hadn’t either. The reason he could see it was entirely his own guess.
The sky was tinged with a fish-belly white, and the forest under the Night finally welcomed dawn.
At this time… three hours had passed since Ling Mo began absorbing his first Soul Ring. Tang San and the Master continued to stay by his side as protectors.
His body seemed to have undergone some change, causing a certain mutation during the Soul Ring Absorption process.
The Master’s brows were tightly furrowed, constantly observing Ling Mo’s every move.
In the consciousness world, Ling Mo’s Sea of Consciousness suffered a major blow. As the Master had said earlier, without a carrier, the Five-Colored Divine Light theoretically could not withstand the power brought by the Soul Ring.
Now… Ling Mo needed to forcibly open up a storage space and attach the Soul Ring to the Five-Colored Divine Light.
This was a difficult task. The Five-Colored Divine Light strongly rejected this power, and Ling Mo had spent nearly three hours without succeeding in making it accept it.
