Chapter 172: Ch 172- The Final Battle

Mo Yuan stood inside the cave and slowly clenched his fist, then he simply threw a punch with his physical strength alone.

Boom!

The air in front of his fist exploded with a deep roar. The shockwave spread through the cave, causing dust and small stones to fall from the ceiling.

Mo Yuan looked at his fist and narrowed his eyes.

He could clearly feel the difference.

’Hmm... it should be around 5.2 million jin.’

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

His physical strength alone had already increased greatly after reaching the Late Origin Soul Realm but this was only his basic strength.

He still had several powerful multipliers.

’Now, let’s add all my multipliers.’

Mo Yuan quickly calculated in his mind.

5.2 million jin × 22 × 9 × 2 × 2.

The final number appeared in his mind.

4.1184 billion jin.

The moment Mo Yuan calculated the result, he could not help but take a deep breath.

"Over four billion jin..."

Even he was slightly surprised by the number.

His Ultimate Strength Talent gave him a 22 times multiplier. His Boundless Saber Art could provide another 9 times multiplier when used with his strength, while his Blood Saber Intent and Primordial Qi each doubled his power.

When all of them were combined, his strength reached a terrifying level.

’And I’m only at the Late Origin Soul Realm.’

Mo Yuan’s eyes flashed with excitement.

’Fighting a newly promoted Sovereign should be much easier now.’

Previously, he had already believed that he could fight a newly promoted Sovereign Realm cultivator.

Now, after breaking through another minor stage, his strength had increased even further.

’What if I use the same attack I used before?’

Mo Yuan suddenly remembered the terrifying saber strike that had created a canyon hundreds of kilometers long.

He smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it. If I use that attack here, this cave probably won’t exist anymore."

There was no need to test something he already knew would be terrifying.

Mo Yuan then turned his attention to another aspect.

"Now, let’s check my speed."

The moment he finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, he appeared at another location inside the cave.

Mo Yuan nodded slightly.

"Hmm, 22 Mach. Not bad."

His base speed had also increased after breaking through.

With his Ultimate Speed Talent’s 20 times multiplier, his speed could reach around 440 Mach.

’That’s already extremely fast.’

Mo Yuan did not stop there, he closed his eyes and activated his Origin Sense.

A strange invisible force spread outward from his body and it quickly covered an area of 651 meters around him.

"Not bad."

Then Mo Yuan activated his Ultimate Illusion Talent.

Instantly, he felt his soul become much stronger then his Origin Sense expanded once again.

It spread farther and farther until it reached a distance of 13,020 meters.

More than thirteen kilometers!

Within this enormous area, everything was clearly reflected in his mind.

He could sense the movements of beasts, the terrain, the rocks and even the smallest changes in the surroundings.

He could even sense Golden Mouse talking to itself while wandering around the the cave’s entrance.

Mo Yuan smiled.

’Ultimate Grade Illusion Talent is really useful.’

After checking his physical strength, speed and Origin Sense, Mo Yuan finally stopped.

There was nothing else he needed to test.

Instead, his thoughts turned toward tomorrow.

’My Copy and Paste Talent’s cooldown will finish tomorrow.’

A serious expression appeared on his face.

’After that, I’ll go to that bull’s territory.’

The moment Mo Yuan thought about the Shadow Bull, his expression became slightly colder.

That beast had caught him off guard before.

Its kick had been powerful enough to break several of his ribs and even though his regeneration had quickly healed him, Mo Yuan had not forgotten the feeling.

’Even with all my defenses, that bull was still able to injure me.’

His eyes narrowed.

’But once I copy its Exceptional Shadow Walk, things will be different.’

The only reason Shadow Bull had been able to gain an advantage over him was because of its Shadow Walk.

Mo Yuan already had incredible speed but Shadow Bull’s Exceptional Shadow Walk made it extremely difficult to catch.

Once he obtained that talent for himself, the situation would completely change.

’After I get Shadow Walk, dealing with that beast should be much easier.’

Mo Yuan stood up.

"I should make all the preparations."

He returned to the centre of the cave and sat down cross-legged, then he closed his eyes and began circulating his Primordial Qi.

He adjusted his breathing and made sure his body was in its best condition.

Although he was confident in his strength, he would never underestimate a Peak Realm beast.

Especially one that had already managed to injure him once.

Time slowly passed and the cave became completely silent and by the time Mo Yuan opened his eyes again, it was already midnight.

He stood up and walked toward the entrance of the cave.

Golden Mouse, who had been waiting outside, immediately noticed him and hurried over.

"Senior, are you done with your cultivation?"

"Hmm."

Mo Yuan nodded.

"It’s time to take care of that bull."

Golden Mouse froze.

It had been expecting Mo Yuan to leave tomorrow but now, the moment it heard those words, its little heart started beating faster.

"Senior... are you sure?"

Mo Yuan glanced at it.

His calm gaze was enough to make Golden Mouse’s body tremble.

The mouse immediately changed its expression.

"Let’s go, Senior!"

Mo Yuan nodded.

Without wasting any more time, he stepped out of the cave and the Golden Mouse quickly followed behind him.

The two figures soon disappeared into the darkness, heading straight toward the territory of the Shadow Bull.

Within a short time, Mo Yuan and Golden Mouse reached the territory of the Shadow Bull.

They were now only one kilometer away from its cave.

Mo Yuan stopped and looked ahead.

"Wait for me here."

Before Golden Mouse could even reply, Mo Yuan’s figure disappeared.

He moved forward alone and immediately activated his Ultimate Grade Illusion Talent. His soul power surged and his Origin Sense spread outward like an invisible net.

He carefully scanned the surroundings, making sure not to miss even the slightest movement but that was not all.

Mo Yuan also activated his Copy and Paste Talent.

The invisible range of the talent instantly spread to seventy meters around him.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

’If that beast can somehow hide from my Origin Sense, then let’s see if it can hide from Copy and Paste.’

As long as the Shadow Bull entered within seventy meters of him, Mo Yuan would immediately know and the moment he detected it, he would copy its Exceptional Shadow Walk.

This time Mo Yuan was not careless as he was before.

’Once I get that talent...’

A sharp glint flashed through Mo Yuan’s eyes.

’It will be checkmate.’

With the combination of his talents and the Shadow walk talent, the beast’s greatest advantage would disappear and then taking care of it would be piece of cake.

Mo Yuan continued moving forward silently, his Origin Sense covering the surroundings while Copy and Paste waited for its target.
