Chapter 1372: Heaven Horn Beast, Sky Piercing Horn
“Participant, are you ready?” repeated the main referee Mu Xie towards Chu Mu once more.
Chu Mu finally snapped back to reality and nodded towards Mu Xie.
“Young master, try to conserve your strength. If you expose too much, then you will catch the attention of that Monument Tear Individual instead,” reminded Old Li.
Chu Mu was aware of it and he started guessing the identity of the other Monument Tear Individual.
“Battle commence!” the moment when Mu Xie announced the start of the battle, the entire venue roared. That surging atmosphere was instantly pushed to the peak.
Both sides summoned out their soul pets. Han Erxing’s summoning speed was slightly faster than Chu Mu. He did not waste any time and summoned his strongest main soul pet, the Heaven Horn Beast.
After witnessing Chu Mu’s battle beast Mo Ye which could constantly increase its strength, Han Erxing was not going to belittle his opponent in such an official competition despite looking down on Chu Mu.
The first summon was already his strongest Heaven Horn Beast. This meant that Han Erxing would not be giving Zhan Ye any chance to increase its strength!
The Heaven Horn Beast grew a pair of horns pointing towards the sky. The length of those horns had already taken up one third of its body. The intimidating aura it exuded was enough to deter people!
Its robust body stepped on the Hovering Mountain. A nonchalant step it took was able to leave a deep crack on the hard mountain surface. If the power from those iron hooves were used to stamp on a soul pet, then that soul pet would be crushed immediately!
Heaven Horn Beast, the lord of the horned beasts. When it completely unleashes its strength and its speed to break the space with those heaven horns, all the other horned beasts had to submit before those indestructible horns!
Near Immortal rank Heaven Horn Beast!
Near Immortal rank was only one to two levels away from the pseudo Immortal rank. However, the Dominator ranks were nothing before them.
Seeing Chu Mu able to remain calm while facing all the challengers, Han Erxing, Xin Xin and Tang Zhuo did not panic. They were people who had already stepped into the Immortal rank, any one of the three of them could easily crush all the young participants under their feet!
That was what being the Immortal rank meant. During the battle between Xin Xin and Lu Fenxue, the enormous power of destruction that was felt by those participants who were still lingering around the Dominator ranks had clearly made them realise that they could never resist against someone of such a level!
Within the Zhengming Main City, although Chu Mu’s performance in the previous battle was truly astonishing, many people still were not feeling optimistic about Chu Mu. Because the three people that Chu Mu had to face now all possessed Immortal rank strength!
Heaven Horn Beast stood on the Hovering Mountain Battlefield, and even those tall Hovering Mountains appeared to be small before it!
Chu Mu took a glance at that pair of heaven horns that were almost piercing into the blue sky and made a rough judgement about what kind of soul pet it was.
It would be almost impossible to let Zhan Ye take the stage this time. Before Zhan Ye could increase its strength over time, but it would definitely be insta-killed by that Heaven Horn Beast this time.
“Mo Xie, it's your turn. Show me your Hades’s true power!” said Chu Mu as he looked at Mo Xie who was on his shoulder.
After Chu Mu had obtained the power of the Black Nightmare, his soul remembrance had grown to the ninth remembrance and was soon to challenge the Spirit Immortal rank.
The power up of Chu Mu’s soul remembrance would also allow Mo Xie’s Hades power to be further unleashed. In addition to Ning Maner using the immortal charm to nurture Mo Xie for a long time, Mo Xie’s strength was already approaching the Immortal rank.
Perhaps, there would still be a level of difference in strength between Mo Xie and the Heaven Horn Beast. However, that did not matter at all. Mo Xie was not even interested in fighting an opponent of the same rank!
Mo Xie jumped down from Chu Mu’s shoulder and directly let out a cry filled with fighting spirit!
Demonic aura started spreading out and condensed into a dense demonic cloud, shrouding the entire Hovering Mountain Battlefield!
The demonic cloud pressed down as if it was going to crush all of the Hovering Mountains!
The silhouette of an astonishing mountain range appeared in the sky, nine tails of clouds hung down, forming a truly magnificent scenery!
“Wuwuwuwu~!”
Demonic gusts swept across, and purple flames enveloped Mo Xie.
Mo Xie's body started stretching. It transformed from a cute pup into its Fox Noble form that was an amalgamation of power and beauty. The silver fur on its nape fluttered freely like the mantle of a lord, handsome and proud!
Purple flame, silver body, and it's natural born nobleness made even the Heaven Horn Beast look a little plain in comparison!
Han Erxing was also taken aback when he saw this. He had thought that Chu Mu was going to summon that battle beast Mo Ye, but he never expected that Chu Mu possessed yet another powerful soul pet. The flashy visual impact from its transformation had astonished even Han Erxing!
Han Erxing only snapped back to reality after a long time. He sensed that the opponent’s aura was actually a little bit weaker than his Heaven Horn Beast and then a trace of mockery flashed across his eyes, “Nothing but a bluff!”
“Let’s see if your uselessly flashy soul pet can even block an attack from my Heaven Horn Beast,” said Han Erxing with confidence.
Heaven Horn Beast stomped right through the space and gained an astonishing instantaneous acceleration. Most of the people could only see the flash of a stomping trail.
Its pair of horns had countless sharp spikes. While it was dashing, the heaven horns suddenly turned enormous after layers of cold glints covered them. The entire sky was shrouded in dark clouds and it seemed that it was unable to contain the size of those horns!
It was a completely unavoidable horn charge. The Heaven Horn Beast madly charged ahead. Regardless of the size of the obstacles that were blocking its way, all of them were shattered by its horns. Those Hovering Mountains did not even slow down the pace of the Heaven Horn Beast by a bit.
The powerful horn charge was approaching fast. Mo Xie stepped forward and turned into a streak of flickering purple flame!
The purple flame was extremely agile. It lightly blinked around those spiked horns while dragging a long tail behind it. The sharp destructive power of the charge did not cause it any harm.
“Shred it!” ordered Han Erxing. He changed his attacking method slightly!
The Heaven Horn Beast’s gaze focused instantly. The heaven horns extended from its head and they suddenly began glowing. The glow from them became a spiral shape and it spread throughout the horns starting from the roots after transforming into a shredding force!
Mo Xie sensed the force behind the assault and it rapidly retreated. It spat out a streak of burning hot purple rupture, forcing the Heaven Horn Beast back!
The Heaven Horn Beast was extremely courageous. It did not back off despite facing off against Mo Xie’s Purple Rupture and instead it continued its charge!
Mo Xie naturally would not clash head on against the strongest weapon of the opponent. Its nine tails fluttered strangely just like soft ribbons.
Heaven horns crashed towards Mo Xie, but the nine tails gently slid right past the sharp horns......
The clouds rumbled and spread out, the Nine Tail Confuse allowed Mo Xie to successfully dodge the Heaven Horn Beast’s continuous assault.
“Tough, overbearing, and also not giving the opponent a chance to relax. Han Erxing’s Heaven Horn Beast is really strong!” praised Mu Tuan with a hint of respect as he looked at Gate Master Han who was next to him.
Gate Master Han raised the corner of his lips unconsciously and replied calmly, “So what? The opponent still dodged it in the end.”
“Hehe, it can’t win by just dodging,” continued Mu Tuan.
“By the way, don’t you find that the Fox Noble is a little familiar?” Demon Beast Palace’s Yin Ce was the first to comment.
“It does seem a little familiar indeed.”
......
The Heaven Horn Beast adopted a full on assault method. No matter where Mo Xie went, its terrifying heaven horns would shred that patch of space into smithereens. If it was another soul pet with slightly lesser agility, then it would have been riddled with countless wounds under such an intense assaulting momentum.
“Do you only know how to dodge?” provoked Han Erxing as he glared intently at Chu Mu.
For many turns now, the Heaven Horn Beast held an absolute advantage. It kept suppressing Mo Xie with its ruthless attacks, leaving Mo Xie with only the choice to continue dodging. There were times where Mo Xie had barely managed to escape harm.
Dodging was a poor tactic in a battle after all. Once the enemy grasps onto a chance to completely seal their escape route, the passively dodging side would definitely end up being injured.
From the start of this battle, Han Erxing’s Heaven Horn Beast was fully displaying its ruthless performance. Many spectators who were supporting Chu Mu were getting more and more anxious for Chu Mu’s soul pet!
Pssh!
A sharp tearing sound rang out. Mo Xie’s flank was torn open by the cold glint from the sharp horn!
A mistake would eventually take place after dodging too many times. Especially under the ruthless assault from something like the Heaven Horn Beast, even a demon could not remain completely unscathed!
“Wuwuwuwu~!”
Mo Xie immediately jumped far away after getting injured, not giving the Heaven Horn Beast any chance to continue with a follow up attacks.
This injury itself was nothing to Mo Xie. However, it also indicated that Mo Xie was unable to flawlessly dodge the Heaven Horn Beast’s attacks.
Chu Mu took a look at the injured Mo Xie and shook his head helplessly after he heard its displeased cry.
“Stop forcing yourself. You still have a long way to go in dodging ability compared to Night,” said Chu Mu.
“Wu~!” Mo Xie was a little unconvinced.
“Stop being so stubborn, fight properly now. This is an opponent that is very beneficial to your training,” Chu Mu became serious.
Night had truly stepped into the Immortal rank. If it was Night who was facing off against the Heaven Horn Beast, then with Night’s horrifying dodging ability, the Heaven Horn Beast definitely would not be able to touch even a strand of fur of Night.
Of course, each soul pet had its own speciality. The overbearing menace released during Mo Xie’s berserk state could also be on par with Zhan Ye. Night was superior in speed and dodging, but Zhan Ye was unparalleled in savageness after accumulating its strength. Meanwhile, Mo Xie was an amalgamation of the two. Speed and power, as well as its terrifying flame of destruction!
Mo Xie possessed three main properties! What was even more terrifying about it was that it also possessed the racial techniques of various powerful races. Facing enemies who were within two levels of difference in strength, Mo Xie had never faced defeat before!
During it's continuous evasion from the Heaven Horn Beast’s assault, Mo Xie had mostly grasped the attacking pattern of that Heaven Horn Beast.
Mo Xie’s battles were often filled with intelligence. It could rapidly make battle judgements just like Chu Mu.
Next, it was time for it to make the Heaven Horn Beast suffer!
