Chapter 953: The Wrathful Venerable

Chapter 953: Chapter 953: The Wrathful Venerable

"Sususu!"

From Shen Mo’s robe sleeve, middle-grade Spirit Stones turned to powder and scattered, falling into the Sword Zone amidst threads of Fairyland Sword Qi.

His eyes sparkled with brilliance, having already switched to "Insight into All Beings," scrutinizing the details and weaknesses of the Smoke Demon great demon in front of him; the real name of this being is fearsome and obscure, translated as Fearness Venerable, exactly the late-stage Class VI smoke demon mentioned in the intelligence, indeed just recently promoted!

The Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable transformed into a human woman, extremely beautiful and enchanting.

Moreover, it possessed the mystical ability of Formless, not merely a shape like low-class smoke monsters, but its Daoist body and mind transformed into a human woman, both form and spirit superbly blended. In terms of allure, it was not inferior to Lady Scarlet with her Charming Body, just standing there could stir the most primal desires in a cultivator’s heart!

"Low-class smoke monsters love to play such little tricks, and big demons like you find it amusing too, how disgraceful?"

A trace of a smile appeared on Shen Mo’s face, and as soon as he finished speaking, he slashed at the smoke demon great demon named "Fearness Venerable" with a sword!

The "beauty" smoke demon was so frightened that her "flowers lost color," and immediately cast spells to lay down layers of magical barriers in front of her. After exhausting means to disperse the sharp sword Qi, she was on the verge of tears and said, "You and I are strangers, neither old hatred nor new enmity, fellow daoist, why such a strong killing intent towards me?"

"Ridiculous!"

Shen Mo scoffed, disinclined to explain further.

In the past, when the smoke monster race descended upon the Red Flame Country in the Primordial Realm, tormenting and toying with the mortals and cultivators of Red Flame Country with many cruel means, was there ever old hatred or new enmity between Red Flame’s immortals and mortals and them; now they have kept billions of creatures on Bliss Island like livestock, using them as cultivation resources, what grievance was there?

A cold laugh sounded, and the Taiyi Sword once again emanated dazzlingly sharp Sword Light, enveloping the Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable.

Faced with this "beauty’s" pitiful demeanor, if it were an ordinary cultivator, even with a heart of stone, they might feel a touch of pity and be influenced in the power of their attack.

Yet, Shen Mo was not ordinary, his Path Heart was firmer than most, not to mention his dao companions and beauties were all stunning in the human world, and his Standing frequently endured the temptations of Lady Scarlet’s innate allure. He feared not these lustful provocations, thus his actions were ruthlessly fierce and severe!

Considering the dao level of this great demon, Shen Mo did not worry about his few swords reducing it to ashes.

Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable seemingly understood the situation, its expression instantly grew cold, demon light surged on its body, and it reverted to its original form resembling black smoke; if it maintained human form, many of the smoke monster’s unique techniques would be difficult to perform!

"Zhizhi!"

Black smoke twisted and changed, its essence instantly dispersed and transformed into a sky full of black lotus flowers, shrouding sun and moon.

The Sword Light struck the black lotus, as if slicing through intangible objects, directly passing through, endless black lotuses surged towards Shen Mo like a downpour!

The Green Cloud Umbrella, Nine-Extreme Crystal Sand, Crystal Brahma Flame, Palm Barrier and other defense methods seemed to lose their innate powerful might facing these black lotuses, unable to block even one black lotus; countless black lotuses drilled into Shen Mo’s body, instantly filling his heart with endless fear, Mana along with magic abilities and skills began to stagnate, some black smoke began to emit out.

However, just when the Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable thought victory was assured, the next moment, terrifying Sword Light filled with deep tribulation Qi erupted from Shen Mo.

"Universal Tribulation!"

This was a stroke of Senluo Sword style, a trace of sharp sword Qi, a piece of dazzling Sword Light, and also an immortal tribulation!

Within the Sword Light, multiple tribulations seemed to explode, the terrifying disaster all Sixth Dao Realm powers faced when attempting to become true immortals, emergences of various phenomena formed both tangible and intangible, internal and external, heavenly vengeance and human felling, all were condensed into this sword style, slashing towards an area of void.

"Puchi!"

The smoke monster’s main form was slashed out, originally a complete black smoke, was forcibly cut into several segments, at the cut perpetually lingered immortal tribulation sword Qi, unable to heal, constantly emitting colorful mist-like Essence and Qi.

Earlier, this Sixth Order Peak smoke monster transformed into sky full of black lotuses, was a spell skill of its, intangible and formless, capable of ignoring all offensive and defensive methods, could like soul type curses directly fall upon the enemy’s three souls and seven spirits, eliciting the deepest layer of fear within, using this fear as cultivation resources to expand rapidly, consuming the enemy’s soul, mind, body, power...

The smoke monster race uses the world’s creatures’ Seven Emotions and Six Desires as cultivation resources, their spell skills tend to follow this path;

But different smoke monsters specialize in various aspects, some like Lady Scarlet excel in lust allure, some manipulate others’ greed, anger, and obsession, some can leverage creatures’ joy, rage, sorrow, fear, love, hatred to attack enemies or defend, among others!

When Shen Mo utilized "Insight into All Beings" to scrutinize this smoke monster’s details, he realized it was most adept in fear, after awakening fear in the enemy’s heart, using fear as a worm to hollow out and erode the enemy’s Soul Body, ultimately playing the enemy within its palm, life and death dependent on a single thought.

However, Shen Mo to counteract the fear and despair brought by the filthy blood robe, upgraded the white quality "Courageous Heart" to orange quality "Fearless," after wearing this special Destiny, he was devoid of any fear, not to mention the Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable’s spell skills, even facing the world’s most palpable great terror he could remain composed!

It could be said, this smoke monster great demon’s greatest ability, had been suppressed by Shen Mo, almost unable to manifest any effect before him.

Considering it possessed Sixth Order Peak power, conventional methods wouldn’t succeed in short time, thus Shen Mo deliberately exposed a flaw, until casting the immortal tribulation sword style severely injuring this demon!

Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable’s main form, having just been slashed out, Shen Mo activated "Universe in the Sword" skill, capturing it into the peculiar domain constructed by sword Qi and sword techniques.

Even though based on the strength of this great demon, "Universe in the Sword" might be insufficient to severely injure or leave a mark on it, it could halt it for a flash of a moment...

Seizing this opportunity.

Shen Mo’s wrist flickered, seven small inch-long swords flew joyously, setting the Big Dipper Array at the place where the Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable vanished; as if this was not enough, he vigorously shook the Soul Refining Flag, vast blood river filled with ominous blood scent swept out, millions of Soul Generals and Demon Soul Generals roared emerging from the blood river, at the exterior of the Sword Array establishing the God Slaying Array!

Until the Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable resisted the grinding of the entire Sword Zone world, escaped the "Universe in the Sword" skill, it had already been surrounded by two mighty Formations, as if deep in a mire, finding it difficult to escape.

"Refine for me!"

A low shout, the Big Dipper Array, and God Slaying Array operated simultaneously, erupting with earth-shattering frightful power, like two massive grinding stones crushing towards Fearness Venerable this copper bean!
