The hearts of countless Heaven's Fate fans watching from Skylink and the stadium had already risen to their throats, as this was the first time they had seen Mo Wen struggle so hard to defend against attacks! All of them had felt that he was invincible within the Casted Soul Stage! Furthermore, the only people capable of being his opponents were people like Carolyn and the other 4 great heavenly kings, as well as the most famous person in the CHF, brother King. However, never in their wildest dreams did they expect for a mere Karl to be able to force Mo Wen to such a level!
16th Chop, 17th Chop!
The blue flames that have swept across the stage formed long trails before Karl, with the expanding blade force appearing to materialize into something corporeal, from a gigantic blue blade shade into some that possessed a shadow!
Bang!
The berserk force of this chop was a 10% stronger than the previous one, forcing Mo Wen to retreat back a dozen steps yet again. At this moment, his sleeves have already been burnt off by the ultra-high temperatures of the blue flames. In fact, his hands have even turned red from the scorching heat, appearing just like grilled chicken wings, causing people to feel as though they could smell a whiff of barbecue smell in the air.
Thump!
Mo Wen braced the force of the incoming chop with his right leg, causing the ground beneath to shatter and from a deep pothole. Using it, he forcefully impeded his the momentum of his retreat.
At the same time, Karl twisted his entire body as he let his long blade pull his body into a gigantic spin, appearing as though he wanted to condense all of the power the world contained into his body!
WHOOSH!
All of the condensed blade intent, including the blue flames still remaining on the stage from Karl's advance, as well as his surging blade force, appeared to have obtained an order and command, as they sprung to live, furiously converging together to form a blue coloured flaming dragon!
Transforming nothing into something, condensing force and converging intent!
18th Chop!
Flaming Dragon Soars through the Heavens!
The 2nd rank flames created from the fusion of 2 special abilities was indeed extremely savage and ferocious, yet weren't completely brought about by Soul Power. It already at Karl's limits to maintain control over it. Following the increase in the might of his attacks, the energy which had reached its peak would need to be let out. If not, the backlash of the power was sufficient to land Karl into an extremely bad shape.
As the fire dragon took shape, it appeared just like a sovereign of the dimensions, a demonic creature from the abyss. The mere sight of its frightening appearance and shape, coupled with the heart palpitating aura it radiated, was more than sufficient to cause people as powerful as Gui Hao and Carolyn to feel an immense threat of danger looming before them. In its presence, they could not help but reveal serious expressions on their faces. From this, only could imagine exactly how terrifying of an impact it would have against Mo Wen, who was standing on stage and receiving the full brunt face on.
Naturally, no one in their wildest dreams did they expect that a hedonistic member of the Seer Family, one that had been treated as a joke, to the point of Zhao Zimo daring to pull off schemes onto him without any scruples, would actually be an expert of such strength!
"Die!"
Karl's eyes glassed over, appearing as though he had entered into a berserker state. He was completely surrounded by blue flames, his eyes shooting a blue glow out, while fire spurted out from his mouth and nose. With a ferocious roar, pulled the blue fire dragon along with him as he rushed towards Mo Wen!
With the appearance of the blue fire dragon, the spacious stage suddenly appeared considerably smaller, with Mo Wen appeared just like an ant before it! As for the terrifyingly high temperatures caused by the blue flames, even the audience seated behind the defensive runic formation array could not bear the heat. This resulted in shrieks, people continuously rubbing their arms, and even some special ability users directly displaying their Ice attribute special ability to lower the surrounding temperatures!
Waving its tail, the blue dragon soared through the nine heavens!
The audience watching via Skylink were long dumbfounded by what they were seeing.
Frankly speaking, all along, be it Spiritual Soul or Dimensional combat techniques, everyone has been boasting about how incredible and cool they were. However, in the face of the combat techniques being unleashed by Karl, they feel slightly insignificant in comparison. The strength Karl was displaying was on a level no Casted Soul Stage could defend against. Most importantly, the strength Karl possessed wasn't brute strength. Instead, he was able to control the very limits of his power, and use pure combat techniques and moves to force Mo Wen into desperate straits. Despite being unable to see Mo Wen's expression, everyone knew that there really was no way to forcefully break Karl's incoming attack. Against an attack of that level, the only thing one could do was to use a Dimensional combat technique to evade away.
Dimensional combat techniques weren't omnipotent, as they would still have to take the power of an attack into consideration. If the attack's power and realm were a little too great, it would be able to distort the surrounding space. Using a Dimensional combat technique in such a situation would be tantamount to death. Clearly, Karl was accurately planned for that.
Wang Zhong stared at the 2 on stage, his eyes glowing with interest. Be it Karl or Mo Wen, both were extremely good opponents for himself. Although it was extremely clear that Mo Wen's performance was one of slight terror, his fire resistance was definitely not poor. Even with the use of Soul Power to protect his body, he would have been turned into a human jerky if his fire resistance wasn't high. The might of a 2nd rank fire was too dangerous for any Casted Soul Stage.
Mo Wen was still ever so calm, not being one bit affected by the outside world. Bending his knees slightly to enter a horse stance, he proceeded to spread his hands out...was he planning to use his hands to receive Karl's move???
Everyone watching opened their mouth wide as they thought, is he crazy?
BANG!
A massive bang rang out, while the berserk fire dragon was unexpectedly blocked by Mo Wen! Nevertheless, Mo Wen's body was pushed backwards, with deep cracks extending out from the ground beneath. However, in the next instant, Mo Wen's arts suddenly started to revolving, his aura surged as terrifying strength gushed out from his body with a roar, "Rise!"
A terrifying scene proceeded to appear, as the terrifying gigantic fire dragon had actually been sent flying back! It appeared as though Mo Wen had used his hands to grasp the dragon's horns, forcefully turn it around, before sending it hurtling back towards Karl!
This!
All of this happened in a split second. Following right behind the fire dragon, Karl was utterly unable to react to this before being struck by Mo Wen's move.
BANG!
The place where Karl was present was replaced by a gigantic cloud of dust and flames.
Standing at the place where he had did the twist and rotation, not a single bit of rejoice nor happiness was present on Mo Wen's face. In fact, there wasn't in a single change to it, remaining as calm as he was during the start of the match, his hand still as spotless as jade.
This...
The incomparably passionate Seer fans opened their eyes wide open, with their mouths wide agape.
He, had actually reflected that?
After being smashed by the rebounding fire dragon, anyone could use their butts to guess exactly what kind of outcome would happen to Karl. Zhao Yilong, who had undone the seal of his Dragon Stranding Spear earlier in this CHF, was a lesson to be learnt.
"Has, has he been burnt to death?"
"What frightening blue flames, what a crazy explosion…"
Frankly speaking, even in this unclear dust-fill situation, everyone could already feel how frightening it was... with everything pointing towards disaster!
The Heaven's Fate fans were now gasping and sighing in admiration, while feeling embarrassed about actually being worried for Mo Wen. In that earlier, we've actually doubted Mo Wen?
That's basically an embarrassment for Heaven's Fate and Mo Wen fans.
"Mo Wen's Circular Force is already widely known to have reached the apex in this aspect of strength, and has reached a stage that cannot be improved on while in the Casted Soul Stage… He's still in the Casted Soul Stage." Carolyn felt somewhat emotional, as a person like Mo Wen was too difficult to deal with. The ultimate comprehension in Circular Force allowed one to merge their offence with defence, and was one of the core essences of strength. Anyone who mastered this would be a real headache to deal with.
On a theoretical standpoint, there are no limits to one's understanding and mastery in things like techniques and skills. Those so-called ceilings and limits were just the results of personal records of experiences from countless people of the older generation over countless years.
However, the definition of a genius was a person whose speciality was to break limits. This also represented the improvement over eras. However, 2 limits were broken within the same era and place! What's more, it was also a progression by a large degree! This basically caused people to doubt their lives, and doubt where the past records of limits were too low! How could records be so cheap!
Admittedly, the CHF was the stage for Spiritual Soul and Dimensional combat techniques. However, one must definitely label Mo Wen as an exception, as this fellow was an ultimate genius that was specialized in the path of techniques and skills. With the realm he had achieved in the pursuit of martial dao, he had basically left all of the people in his age group in despair.
The Heaven's Fate squadron members appeared extremely calm and steady, with none of them showing any changed expressions at all. After all, that was Mo Wen present on stage. They would never, ever have any doubts about their captain. Only people by his side would understand what kind of person he was. It was this greater understanding that had in fact caused even his squadron members to feel despair.
"Oh?" compared to other people, Wang Zhong's eyes were not focused on Mo Wen.
He wasn't the only one, as in the next instant, everyone took notice of it.
Unexpectedly, the dust and remnant flames that have scattered across the entire stage started to rapidly settle and converge.
In the next moment, Karl appeared in the centre of the dust plume. Not only did not get devoured by his fire dragon, for some unknown reason, his body was also currently devouring the fire dragon at a continuous rate...
Basically, everyone knew that the Casted Soul Stage could only borrow the strength from external sources, and not devour them. An example would be Zhao Yilong. Even with transformational energy from a Divine Weapon would be lethal to the user what more an even more raw energy source. However, Karl had indeed "eaten" it up!
A gem-like blue brilliance sparkled on the surface of his body, causing Karl to appear as strong and powerful as a god. It had to be said that if he wasn't faced against Mo Wen, he would really not have used this move, as it was really too hard for his body to shoulder the burden of this move. Nevertheless, he wasn't someone who would overdo it like Zhao Yilong. Having fought all the way to this point, he could feel excited right down to his very core. Being able to fight against such an expert really made his trip in this CHF worthwhile!
Whoosh!
With a gentle shake of his blade, the blade force naturally radiating out from his blade had actually cleaved a large pit on the hard ground!
What was that blade force? That genuine blade force! It was a realm where Casted Soul Stage should not be able to reach! It was completely different from the usage of skills and techniques, as it was the pure definition of power! A power that represented one's surpassing of the Casted Soul Stage limits!
Natural emission, in accordance with one's will! The blade forces unleashed by pretentious people after accumulating for a very long time were nice looking, yet exceedingly useless. They were utterly disqualified to be called as blade force! At the very most, they could only be considered as a vaudeville!
"What's happening? How's that possible!" the sudden change happening in the stage caused the audience, who had just taken a roller coaster ride of emotions, to be slightly unable to react.
That terrifying fire dragon, which Mo Wen had blocked with much difficulty, had clearly smashed and exploded onto Karl at the instant it was twisted and tossed back! How was it possible to be alright after that ferocious explosion of blue flames?
The Tianjing squadron members looked over towards Wang Zhong, who smiled back in return. Before he could reply, Grai suddenly spoke out. "A Fire Fusion Body that's nearing 2nd Rank, is barely sufficient to endure it."
Wang Zhong nodded his head in agreement. In fact, he possessed a complete Fire Fusion Body. Precisely speaking, his Spiritual Soul aspect was complete, with his Fleshly Body still requiring the need to promote by a rank. However, someone on the degree of Karl would really be countered by him. Nevertheless, from the looks of it, Mo Wen's performance wasn't poor, and clearly was leaving some leeway. Wang Zhong had possessed this ability after experiencing the wonders of the higher dimensional worlds. He did not know how Mo Wen does it. Therefore, the only thing he could say was that the strength of the aristocratic families was still slightly immeasurable.
Vladimir had also felt the aura of a kindred folk, causing him to feel slightly interested in Karl. Being the ruler of the Ice attribute, there was no one within the entire CHF that has gained his recognition for the realm they had achieved with their special ability. "The current Karl's quite strong!"
Without saying a word, the pair of eyes burning with blue flames looked towards Mo Wen. Giving the ground a gentle tap with the tip of his feet, his entire being shot out explosively! Not only was he quick, the wind that also swept from his rush was just like a gale whipping across! The earthshattering overbearing blade intent that he had condensed earlier grew even purer and concentrated with his transformation.
Although the size of his attack appeared to have shrunk, god knows how many times did its might increase by! Upon seeing this, people felt that even gods and immortals would not be able to live under this chop of his!
He's faster! And stronger! As of now, everyone felt as though Karl was basically surpassing everyone that had appeared in this CHF!
Seer's unleashing their offensive! Karl actually has this move left up his sleeves! This was the final showdown! Mo Wen's about to be in a great deal of trouble!
All of the audience felt their blood boil as they waited for this final apex showdown.
How many moves would these 2 exchange before victory was decided!
Bang!
A gigantic bang rang out as the 2 figure intersected. However, the deadlock and head-on confrontation, as a figure was sent retreating 17 to 18 steps back before collapsing to the ground.
Karl's the one being forced into a retreat? Even after becoming that strong, Karl's actually been smashed back by Mo Wen in an instant? What's the matter? Countless Seer fans were simply unable to believe what their eyes!
Although Karl immediately stood up, the face brimming with blue flames was clearly filled with surprise and caution. Making a change to his impatient, victory seeking madness, he held his long blade with both hands as he proceeded to restart the accumulation of his blade intent.
With a faint smile, Mo Wen as he stood up, with his left hand already placed behind his back. Leaning forward, he extended his right hand forward while saying, "it's time for me to attack."
As his voice rang out, many people suddenly realized that since the start of this duel, Mo Wen has yet to make any offensive moves! Even after counter-attacking a few times in the face of Karl's attacks, those were only just counter attacks due to his unique defence.
At that time, Karl's blade intent was too strong, giving the initial impression of being unable to resist to seemingly everyone who saw it. Naturally, this had also made them believe that Mo Wen had been suppressed to the point of being forced to defend passively. However, from what he had just said, all of his actions and his defensive stance was all a deliberate act? So that he could see Karl's ultimate move?
The Skylink and stadium turned utterly silent.
Without mentioning about the laymen in the audience, even Carolyn and Gui Hao had solemn expressions instantly appearing on their face.
All along, they had felt that Mo Wen was on the same level as them. However, Mo Wen was still able to "play" around even when faced against a Karl on this level, as well as having control of the entire situation at will. This really was...
What a powerful flair of awesomeness!
Karl's expression changed slightly in response. However, Mo Wen gave a smile in response and said, "Be careful."
As his words rang out, Mo Wen had already disappeared from his original position.
Where?
The laymen could not see, while the broadcasting cameras could not see him. In fact, even people as strong as Carolyn and Gui Hao weren't able to use their eyes to keep up with Mo Wen's actions!
They couldn't keep up!
"Behind!" with his Heart's Eye, Wang Zhong was able to sense where Mo Wen was.
On the stage, Karl could also sense it, already snatching the lead as he swung his blade over to block.
Although blue flames covering the long blade were gradually turning less bright, they were clearly more pure than the flames that made up the fire dragon earlier! With the quality of his flames increasing to the next level, there's basically no one that dared to touch Karl's blade. Regardless of how strong one's defence was, with everyone being in the Casted Soul Stage, slight contact with it would already be able to cause heavy injuries! Even Mo Wen did not dare to!
However, he did not need to make contact with it. With a simple punch followed by a twisting left elbow, he followed up by smashing down from the left.
As the long blade changed its path in response and continued its blockade. Using offence as defence, Mo Wen changed his moves!
In the blink of an eye, Mo Wen had already launched 17 to 18 successive moves! Karl was forced to change his moves in accordance with Mo Wen's actions. Nevertheless, his opponent was truly too quick! For most instance, when Karl had just made a defensive action, Mo Wen's next, or even a following attack had already come his way!
With sparkling blue flames clad around his body, Karl's speed was clearly not slowly that Mo Wen, who had erupted with his full strength. However, he was unable to keep up with the attacks unleashed by the latter!
Perhaps he was slower by a mere 0.001 second during their first move. However, after a dozen moves, Karl felt that Mo Wen had already lapsed him by an entire move! Defend and counter-attack? Karl really felt like vomiting blood. Faced against the speed of Mo Wen's attacks, there was no one who could defend and launch a counter attack! Once he entered his rhythm, one could only get dragged by him away, as he would forever be one step faster than you!
The powerful blade intent had no place to show its might, while Mo Wen's superior speed suppressed all of his opponent's chances to make a breakout.
Bang!
A heavy right elbow smashed into Karl's head, causing his entire body to turn stiff. That was quickly followed up a succession of punches and kicks that Karl was utterly incapable of identifying that smashed right into his chest.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
A series of bangs rang out. There wasn't any earth-shattering might, or any violent explosion. When Mo Wen completed his series of attacks, Karl had already collapsed on the ground, being knocked unconsciousness....
The near 2 million viewers watching from Skylink and the stadium turned silent...So this was Mo Wen?
Upon turning serious, his opponent had already collapsed onto the ground...In fact, no one was able to see the real essence of his attacks...
The Seer fans were completely silent, and so to were the other members of the Seer squadron. In fact, Divian and the other did not even have the time to shout anything out. It truly wasn't due to Karl being weak, as with the appearance of his 2nd rank fire, everyone had believed that he was capable of putting up a fight against Mo Wen. However, as long as the latter gets slightly serious...
What does it mean to be invincible?
That precisely the meaning!
"Mo Wen! Mo Wen! Mo Wen!
The Heaven's Fate fans started to chant this name in a low voice. This was their Heaven's Fate's start, the pride of Heaven's Fate! As for challengers? There were too many that have fallen before Mo Wen! Perhaps Karl was just one of the stronger ones. Nevertheless, he was just an acquaintance to the Heaven's Fate members. He wasn't the first one, and won't be the last!
The unconscious Karl was already stretchered away. Upon seeing that Mo Wen wasn't even breathing hard when he had left the stage, Gui Hao could not help but exhale a long breath. Without a doubt, Mo Wen's strength had given all of them a great deal of pressure. Although they have yet to cross hands, the prospect of facing against an opponent like Mo Wen was truly terrifying.
Before the duel, there were many who felt that the number 1 expert of this CHF might possibly be Wang Zhong. However, after Mo Wen's duel against Karl, all of them felt that Wang Zhong might only stand a 30% change against the latter. What Wang Zhong excelled in, Mo Wen might also do so, with the only difference being that pair of cross wheels. However, the problem was with what Mo Wen knew!
The ultimate moves under the heavens all came out from the Mo Family. Although the various great families have their own set of secret moves, who dared to say they did not borrow any bit from the Mo-Sciences?
Stuart has never feared Heaven's Fate. However, they were frankly not willing to be the first ones to cross hands with them. This was especially so after seeing Mo Wen's performance today. That fellow's basically a BUG!
The mightest Heaven' Fate! The mightest Mo Wen!
3rd duel, Heaven's Fate, victory!
Divian had fallen, Jormungar had fallen. Now, even the super Karl who had stayed hidden for the entire earlier part of the CHF has also fallen.
The Seer squadron wasn't weak. Even their 2 remaining mainstays, in fact, possessed a level strength close to that of the Mo's List rankers. However, with their squadron's 3 main pillars falling simultaneously, and them being up against the despair causing Heaven's Fate, who would be able to muster any fighting spirit up? This was no longer about the strength of one's will, but whether one had a mental problem or not.
