Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 335: Spiritual Pivot Ice Heart

Mister Yuan's pupils contracted, his figure moved, and his palm struck at Chen Mo's cranium.

The Demon Immortal already completely refined his Demonic Qi into Demonic Energy. The qi had substance, and his strength was manifest. Demonic Energy was several times stronger than Demonic Qi. When this palm landed, it was like the sun and moon were bearing down upon him. Chen Mo's eyes suddenly perceived the world go dark.

What a powerful palm strike!!

Chen Mo sensed the incoming Demonic Qi. If not for the body of the Black Turtle, this palm alone would have been enough to render him a corpse without a place to bury, given their Realms, the disparity of which was like Heaven and Earth.

Chen Mo swiped his hand, grabbing the Northern Dipper staff out of thin air. Without hesitation, he drew it as a saber.

Northern Dipper also had a Wind Concealment Divine Stone. Turning the staff into a saber took a mere instant, and a saber-light mixed with divine wind howled as it slashed at Mister Yuan's palm.

Wherever the saber-light passed, the night was lit bright as day.

Yellow Rank.

Ice Breaker Snow Slicer.

Mister Yuan's palm grabbed the Ice Breaker Snow Slicer. The power of a Heaven, Earth, Dark, or Yellow Rank could not be compared to magic energy, and it was above Demonic Energy as well. Even if he was a Demon Immortal, he felt a stinging pain when he grabbed it. Mister Yuan's eyes stared. He retracted his palm, and his calm expression showed a ripple of surprise: "You are actually capable of Heaven, Earth, Dark, Yellow?"

"Why wouldn't I be."

Accompanying Chen Mo's wild smile, his second wave of attacks was already launched.

The Wind Concealment Divine Stone shattered all of a sudden, revealing a crescent moon-shaped blade. Dark Rank "Saber Draw Water Cutter" was unleashed, and the Wind Concealment Divine Stone was unable to hide this overwhelming power that ripped space apart.

Mister Yuan's long sleeves swayed. Demonic Energy became an enormous white ape phantom that pounced towards the saber-light. The white ape firmly resisted the Saber Draw Water Cutter.

The Demon Immortal's Demonic Energy dispelled this danger of this Dark Rank. Mister Yuan then jumped, vanishing from Chen Mo's sight. By the time Chen Mo sensed it, the second move already attacked him by surprise.The palm attack was aimed at his chest this time, emitting a tremendous roll of thunder. Before the palm reached, Chen Mo already felt a faint pain throughout his entire body. This Demon Immortal possessed formidable Demonic Energy. His Black Turtle Body surprisingly felt the weight of this pressure, leaving him unable to budge.

The Black Turtle True Spirit once again manifested to face Mister Yuan's second attack.

Roar.

The ape-like palm slapped apart the mountain, striking Chen Mo in the chest. Qi-blood gushed out of his throat without stop, and several of his bones broke. In an instant, his magic energy seemed to have been slapped out of him. Mister Yuan ruthlessly slammed Chen Mo into a cliff face. 

Mister Tuan landed steady like an old monk. He saw his sleeve had been ripped, sliced by the Dark Rank Saber Technique. He did not expect this brat's Star Energy to be very formidable, to surprisingly be capable of cutting the hem of his clothes.

Truly interesting.

Mister Yuan lifted his gaze.

Chen Mo walked out from the pulverized cliff. He coughed a few times, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

All of his bones were nearly disintegrated. Chen Mo had never felt pain so intense in his life. "This is the power of a Demon Immortal?" Chen Mo grimaced. If not for the Black Turtle True Spirit as well as the Star Energy he used to protect himself, that slap would have completely destroyed and disintegrated any other Human Immortal, nay, even an Earthly Immortal.

"You indeed are a promising talent. Seems this third move is no longer needed." Mister Yuan beamed.

"Mister Yuan, Your Servant's capabilities have not been completely unleashed yet." Chen Mo felt pain in his body just breathing, but he refused to concede defeat.

Demon Immortal.

A powerful adversary comparable to True Phoenix Realm Star Generals. The opportunities to battle such a foe were not many at all.

Chen Mo was unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

"Do you feel you can withstand my third move? Next time, This Immortal will not kill you, but it will reduce you to a cripple for at least a year." Mister Yuan's expression was calm.

"Then Your Servant shall resist with all my might." Chen Mo grinned and activated the Star Manual Of Masters Gan And Shi. He gripped the Northern Dipper Saber and charged, Star Energy thoroughly erupted like a smothering nebula.

However, this merely made Mister Yuan feel the attack was impressive in appearance without actual strength.

The next second.

Chen Mo's pupils became as deep as a deva's. The eyes seemed to see all of Heaven, and Mister Yuan instantly felt his body was trapped by a deva. Then, seven starlights flickered around Chen Mo, becoming seven long, sharp, and extremely gorgeous Flying Swords.

The seven swords were like stars, their tips emitting an ancient might.

Fear.

For the first time, Mister Yuan felt a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart.

This kind of fear lasted but a fleeting instant, but it was enough to disturb Mister Yuan.

Are these the Black Turtle Flying Swords of the Four Symbols Swords?

"Good, good, good. It has been so long since This Immortal has seen such a Star Warrior." Mister Yuan did not dare be careless. He lifted his hand. This movement seemed to lift the earth itself. The breath of the immense valley forest seemed to be in his palm.

The expansive might instantly dissipated.

Chen Mo brandished the Northern Dipper Saber. He leapt forth and slashed. At the same time, the Black Turtle Swords became seven black lights that vanished into thin air. The seven Black Turtle Flying Swords instantly reappeared around Mister Yuan. The swords were like seven mountains bearing down upon him.

The immense pressure surprisingly sank Mister Yuan's shoulder.

Good, worthy of one of Star World's Three Great Ancient Sword Chants!!

If there was a sword array, it would be even more perfect.

A cold light surfaced in Mister Yuan's eyes. With a furious shout, his Demonic Energy turned boundless and fever-pitched like an ape. He raised his arm, completely resisting the Black Turtle Flying Swords' pressure. The seven Flying Swords heavily sliced.

Chen Mo also drew the saber to cut Mister Yuan's thigh.

The die was irrevocably cast with this slash.

"Roar!!" Mister Yuan then struck with his upraised arm.

The entire mountain quaked.

Two immense forces suddenly slammed into each other.

…

Rootless Valley. "King Of Medicine" Sun Yingmeng was in the middle of using her treasure gourd to patiently collect the Rootless Qi so as to avoid returning empty-handed after Chen Mo was defeated.

Li Xiao beat back the advancing Demon Beasts that were attempting to absorb Rootless Qi one after another, allowing her to gather as much as she could.

"I think I may as well go help Chen Mo. I've long tired of that Demon Immortal." Li Xiao shook her spear. She had no patience for these crowds of Demon Beasts that were merely Demonic Qi Nine Turns.

Sun Yingmeng glanced at her: "Xiaoxiao, are you even able to help?"

"I'm but a Star General, you don't have any faith in me?" Li Xiao was displeased.

"Forget it. At any rate, Mister Yuan won't kill Chen Mo. Just treat it as experience to let Chen Mo grow little by little. This Lady worries that if actual sparks are ignited in that battle, then the consequences would not be good. Furthermore…" Sun Yingmeng watched that pack of glaring Demon Beasts: "I still need you to ward off these Demon Beasts."

"You're right." Li Xiao thought.

Roar.

A golden-eyed tiger stepped into the swamp. Several alligators and golden eagles also approached from the side. Demonic Qi flowed over their bodies; they were already at Reincarnation Realm.

"Reincarnation Realm, now this is fun." Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and she stirred restlessly.

Just at this moment, the Rootless Valley jolted, the marsh trembled, and an overbearing Demonic Energy that seemed to topple mountains came from the nearby valley. The Reincarnation Realm Demon Beasts were frightened out of their minds, and they immediately fled.

Sun Yingmeng and Li Xiao's expressions changed.

A white shadow jumped over, appearing instantly in front of the Rootless Tree.

The white-clothed Mister Yuan was still impressive-looking, but his clothes appeared to be in a slight mess. He carried a man over his shoulder.

"Chen Mo."

"You killed him?" Li Xiao was extremely furious.

"Don't get angry, Chen Mo merely fainted over." Sun Yingmeng immediately quelled her rage. The girl saw through Chen Mo's condition in a glance.

However, his body was nevertheless heavily injured, and his bones were very nearly dust.

"From this moment forth, Sun Simiao, you can collect the Rootless Qi." Mister Yuan gently put down Chen Mo.

"Ah, Chen Mo warded off Mister Yuan's three moves?" Sun Yingmeng was surprised and happy.

"More than three moves. He indeed is a Star Warrior who surprised This Immortal." Mister Yuan readily admitted. In their prior exchange, Chen Mo's Primordial Black Turtle Flying Swords nearly brought him danger at the end. When all was said and done, he used several techniques in succession to finally knock this man out.

The body of the Black Turtle was as exceptional as in the legends. It was practically comparable to a Star General's indestructible body.

"How did you injure him so severely." Sun Yingmeng was a bit hurt as she took Chen Mo. She snapped her fingers, manifesting her Star Weapon, "Spiritual Pivot Ice Heart."¹ It was a golden, needle-like apparatus.

This needle was as fine as a grain of wheat, and it emitted a multicolored divine light.

Sun Yingmeng snapped her fingers, and the "Spiritual Pivot Ice Heart" then stuck into Chen Mo's forehead, activating the Yellow Rank Acupuncture.

"Marrow Creation Technique!"²

All of Chen Mo's bones were quickly stabilized, slowly mending under the Spiritual Pivot Ice Heart Needle. Wounds that originally could only heal over several months could be recovered in days.

Sun Simiao had several star Weapons, and she was an expert in decoction, acupuncture, pulse measurement and more. However, acupuncture was rarely used, so presently, she was capable of only the Yellow Rank.

Li Xiao looked over Mister Yuan and sneered: "Looks like you didn't hold much of an advantage, Demon Immortal Mister Yuan."

"If he had Star Energy and Realm like yours, Li Su, perhaps This Immortal would not even ask for an advantage." Mister Yuan was very indifferent.

These words infuriated "Duke Wu Of Liang." Clearly, he was saying she was not as good as that man.

"Perfect. I'm terribly bored, so fight a bout with This Duke." Li Xiao finished speaking, and her spear became a dragon and a rolling storm.

Mister Yuan waved his palm, and his figure immediately vanished.

Sun Yingmeng felt helpless watching the two fight. After she secured Chen Mo's safety, she focused on collecting the Rootless Qi. Chen Mo's complexion gradually improved, and the girl could not help but smile and mutter to herself: "If This Lady used the Defense One Qi, I could even nurture a Star Warrior like that Dream In A Millennium. Then This Lady could surpass all Kings Of Medicine in history."

She had slight stirrings as she thought about this.

…

By the time Chen Mo was awake, it was already evening of the enxt day. He pushed open the door and walked out. The mountain river was like blood, magnificent and colorful. Li Xiao was currently feeding the red-crowned cranes. When she saw Chen Mo, she did not even bat an eye: "About time you woke up."

Chen Mo felt his body was a bit sore, and his bones seemed about to fall apart whenever he moved.

Right, yesterday, they encountered Mister Yuan the Demon Immortal when they went to the Rootless Valley, and he had engaged the Demon Immortal in a battle that lasted several rounds. That Demon Immortal really was a Demon Immortal,³ for he was surprisingly able to even dispel the body of the Black Turtle.

"Yingmeng told me to tell you that you are not to go to the Red Fragrant Child's to train for the next few days."

"Hm?"

"Your body was severely wounded last night and will require several days' rest. An ordinary person would take a hundred days to heal, don't you know." Li Xiao pursed her lips.

"I can't leave this unfinished. For slight injuries like these…" Chen Mo wrinkled his brow in pain: "I can still bear it."

"If you go like this, you will definitely be humiliated by the Red Fragrant Child." Li Xiao sneered.

"Then so it shall be."

Li Xiao's gaze was strange. She truly could not make sense of why this man was so insistent on helping the Red Fragrant Child. Could this truly be so-called camaraderie? "As you wish. Oh, yes, these are some bottles of ‘Defense One Qi' that Yingmeng concocted last night. Take them."

THe bottles were thrown into Chen Mo's hands.

"She concocted the Defense One Qi to help you and thus spent enormous amounts of Star Energy. She's resting right now. Hmph, I've never seen her work so hard." Li Xiao was a bit jealous.

"Help me thank Yingmeng. I'll go visit her another day." Chen Mo earnestly said.

"The best thanks you can give her is to never see her." Li Xiao grumbled. She turned and left.

Chen Mo stored the Defense One Qi away. His bones somewhat ached, but he could still endure.

As he pondered, Chen Mo still commanded his Flying Swords towards the little cave fairyland.
