Chapter 998: The Glazed Xuan Ming Web
This was why Mo Wen had been so confident that the Multicolor Queen could not handle him.
What could they do with a person that they could neither kill nor capture? If Mo Wen hadn’t thought of this, he would surely not have dared to wreak havoc in Multicolor City.
Mo Wen had returned to his original size and was standing in midair. He still looked as mighty as a god of war. In his hand was the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. He looked majestic.
“You can control the law of the Heavenly Path?”
The Multicolor Queen’s gaze was fixed on Mo Wen. An unparalleled, colorful glazed light shimmered in her eyes. Her scorching gaze seemed to be able to cause even the air to catch fire.
“Queen Sister, you think too highly upon me. If I could control the law of the Heavenly Path, you would have died a miserable death by now,” Mo Wen said calmly.
If he could control the law of the Heavenly Path, it would mean that he had mastered the power of the law of the Heavenly Path. Mo Wen did not have such an ability. The Celestial Source in his body was merely automatically repairing its host. It was not equivalent to Mo Wen mastering this power.
“But, just now you...” The Multicolor Queen was still doubtful.
“It’s up to you whether you believe me. I am not interested in explaining too much to you,” Mo Wen said plainly.
“You...” The Multicolor Queen glared at Mo Wen. This human was now belittling her! It was too much.
“What are you glaring at? You can’t handle me. In the entire preliminary ancient land, no one can handle me. I advise you to let Nie Junxue go now. Otherwise, I will surely wreak havoc in Multicolor City,” Mo Wen said coldly.
In the entire ancient land, humans were the ones who were least concerned about stirring up trouble. It was because they were not attached to the preliminary ancient land. They were alone and they only needed to worry about themselves, so they were afraid of nothing.
However, the Multicolor Queen was different. She had to protect the entire Multicolor Clan. The rise and fall of the Multicolor Clan was her weakness. Others might have the wrong impression that the Three Great Kings in the ancient land were invincible and could whatever they pleased; in reality, they did not dare to step out of line. There were things that even the kings had scruples about.
However, Mo Wen had no scruples at all. For any race, offending a strong enemy such as him was a disaster.
“He did it. He really did it!”
Chu Yu nearly leaped up in excitement. He looked at the sky with shining eyes. He had never imagined that Mo Wen would so powerful. He had gone up against the entire Multicolor Clan alone. He was practically a legend.
“He is such a frightening person! He will be my goal.” Wen Jiuhai hugged his ancient sword as he stared intently at Mo Wen. The more incredible the genius was, the more competitive Wen Jiuhai became.
“Wen Jiuhai, I think you should still to me as a target to surpass. We will most likely drift further away from him in the future.”
Xiao Jinghe’s words interrupted Wen Jiuhai. He patted Wen Jiuhai on the shoulder earnestly. Xiao Jinghe was clearly implying that Wen Jiuhai had yet to catch up with him, and yet he wanted to chase up to Mo Wen.
Humph!
Wen Jiuhai snorted coldly. Usually, he would have already drawn out his sword to fight with Xiao Jinghe. However, right now was clearly not right time.
“Not satisfied? Don’t you forget, he is younger than all of us. Much younger,” Xiao Jinghe said calmly.
Xiao Jinghe’s words frightened all of them. Indeed, they looked like youths; but in reality, they had cultivated for more than fifty years. Nie Junxue was slightly younger, but she was also approaching fifty years old. They were still considered very young among the immortal cultivators. However, Mo Wen was only twenty years old. Even if he had started cultivating when he was still in his mother’s womb, he had only been cultivating for slightly more than twenty years.
It had only taken twenty years for Mo Wen to reach his current level. In another twenty years, they probably wouldn’t even be able to see Mo Wen’s silhouette.
Nie Junxue looked at the sky and her once dead eyes suddenly became exceptionally radiant. It was the radiance of hope. The desperation in her heart was slowly dissipating. Color slowly returned to her once pale cheeks. A person who could see hope was someone with the most power.
Even Nie Junxue had not expected that such a change would occur within such a short time. The human youth was strong enough to fight against the Multicolor Queen and had turned the tables.
Perhaps, he could save her from the hands of the Multicolor Queen. Her hope was right before her eyes.
“Queen Sister, let my companion go. As long as you are willing to let her go, we will then proceed on our journey. I will not trouble the Multicolor Clan further.”
Even though Mo Wen’s speech sounded like a piece of advice, it was also a threat. If the queen let Nie Junxue go, Mo Wen would not attack the Multicolor Clan. If she did not, the Multicolor Clan would be in danger.
The Multicolor Clan was big but, other than the queen, none of them could take Mo Wen on.
“Are you threatening me?” The Multicolor Queen stared at Mo Wen coldly.
“What do you think?” Mo Wen replied. In this world, the weak became the prey of the strong. Mo Wen was not reasoning with the Multicolor Queen; instead, he was forcing her to compromise with him. He had the ability to make this happen.
“Very well then. It is not up to you to say whether or not I can handle you. Since you have not mastered the law of the Heavenly Path, let me see how much you have attained.”
The Multicolor Queen’s eyes narrowed. The next moment, she disappeared from her original spot. Then, the shadow of a gigantic Rainbow Glazed Spider appeared in the sky. The shadow of the spider was enormous, covering almost half of the sky.
The eight legs of the Rainbow Glazed Spider, which were as exquisite as crystals, shook suddenly. The next moment, streaks of colorful lights enveloped the heavens and earth. The colorful lights fell from the sky, transforming into strands of colorful spider silks. The spider silks were like yards of clothes, all gathering around Mo Wen.
“Glazed Xuan Ming Web.”
The Multicolor Queen’s voice sounded coldly from the sky. The Glazed Xuan Ming Web was one of the most famous remarkable powers possessed by the Multicolor Queen. In the past, this remarkable power had belonged to the Primeval Age Multicolor Xuan Ming Spider, and it was terrifying. Rumor had it that during the Primeval Age, the Multicolor Xuan Ming Spider could capture immortals with this web.
Of course, the Multicolor Queen had only mastered the surface level of the Glazed Xuan Ming Web technique. However, her mimicking was rather powerful as well.
All the creatures in the preliminary ancient land seemed to fear the Glazed Xuan Ming Web’s power. Even the other two Great Kings were no exception to this.
Beams of colorful light swept across the sky like fireworks. They were exceptionally beautiful.
However, there was more to these colorful lights than met the eye. Each beam contained a rather frightening power. They also seemed to have the power to seal off space. Under the coverage of these colorful lights, the power of the laws of heaven and earth also seemed to be blocked off, making it difficult to unleash.
With this remarkable power, it was likely that even ordinary Tide Changing Realm cultivators would easily be imprisoned.
Mo Wen’s silhouette was rather nimble. It kept flashing. Lightning illusions appeared in the sky above. They were all afterimages left behind by his extreme speed.
He tried to charge out of the encirclement of the rainbow lights and escape the confinement of the web, but he regrettably discovered that the rainbow web was not as simple as it appeared. It contained very frightening laws of heaven and earth. It seemed to have traces of the laws of space and time. No matter how hard he tried, he could not charge out of the encirclement of the rainbow lights.
“Stop struggling. Unless you can activate the power of the Heavenly Path that you used just now and directly destroy the power of the law for the Glazed Xuan Ming Web, you will never escape,” the Multicolor Queen said.
However, her gaze was still fixed intently on Mo Wen. She seemed to be hoping that Mo Wen would activate the law of the Heavenly Path as he had done previously and destroy her Glazed Xuan Ming Web.
Unfortunately, it was still impossible for Mo Wen to master such a power. Passively using a power and actively using a power were two completely different concepts. In the end, Mo Wen had still ended up in the Multicolor Queen’s Glazed Xuan Ming Web. The colorful lights became colorful threads that enveloped Mo Wen like a rice dumpling.
“How about this? Although I cannot kill you, I can imprison you forever! What can you do about it?” the Multicolor Queen asked.
This human possessed the protection of the power of the Heavenly Path in his body. She could not kill him. However, imprisoning him would more of a torture for him than a quick death.
“This is bad. Although the Multicolor Queen cannot kill Mo Wen, she can still imprison him. Damn it, how did I forget such an issue? Among the Three Great Kings, the Multicolor Queen is the strongest, in terms of imprisonment ability.”
Xiao Jinghe’s expression changed drastically. If Mo Wen could not escape the Multicolor Queen’s Glazed Xuan Ming Web, he would be imprisoned by the Multicolor Queen for his entire life. The Glazed Xuan Ming Web was renowned. Even if the other two Great Kings were imprisoned within it, they would not be able to escape for a while.
“Damn it!”
Nie Junxue had just glimpsed hope, but it had just shattered before her very eyes. She had also gotten another person involved in her mess.
“Humph, why don’t you release the power you used before and destroy my Glazed Xuan Ming Web?” the Multicolor Queen enquired.
She hoped that Mo Wen could once again release the power of the Heavenly Path. That was the embodiment of the law of the Heavenly Path, a power that could change the laws of the ancient land. If that power could be controlled, they could destroy the world law of the ancient land that had been established by the founder of the preliminary ancient land.
The world law had suppressed them for countless years, imprisoning them here generation after generation. Unless something happened, they would be imprisoned here forever.
Members of the ancient land were always longing for the day that they could escape this prison. Unfortunately, there was no hope in sight. They did not have the ability to do so.
If this human could destroy the world law of the preliminary ancient land and free them from this prison, the entire Multicolor Clan would dedicate themselves forever to him, recognizing him as their master. All immortal cultivators wanted to soar in the skies, travel the world, and cultivate until they became immortals. However, this one world law destroyed all their fates.
As the dignified Multicolor Queen, she had the bloodline of the Primeval Age Multicolor Xuan Ming Spider in her, but her life only amounted to so much. However, if she was outside and not under the restriction of this world, she would certainly be able to step on the Way of Immortals and become a high-ranking cultivator that could churn clouds and summon rain.
“Queen Sister, you seem even more anxious than me. I also want to master the power that I demonstrated just now. If I did, killing you would be an easy feat. But unfortunately, my cultivation is still too low.”
Mo Wen, who was trapped in the Glazed Xuan Ming Web, remained calm as he stared at the Multicolor Queen. He didn’t understand why the Multicolor Queen wanted him to master the power of the Celestial Source. However, the Celestial Source was coalesced from the law of the Heavenly Path. Mo Wen had only mastered the two-heads-and-four-arms form so far. It was impossible for him to be able to control such a power. He might not be able to master it even if he reached the three-heads-and-six-arms, or four-heads-and-eight-arms, or five-heads-and-ten-arms form.
“Since you can’t master it, then you will be imprisoned in the Glazed Xuan Ming Web forever,” the Multicolor Queen said, annoyed. She seemed frustrated that Mo Wen did not live up to her expectations.
“Imprison me forever? You are thinking too much.” Mo Wen laughed loudly.
