World of Cultivation - Volume 06 - All Hail Our King

Plop plop, thick bean-sized droplets of rain poured down. In this moment, a wild wind and storm suddenly started gusting. The sky and earth was deluged in a heavy rain that impeded their vision!
Silver snakes danced above their heads, and the power of the world was displayed.
The terrified crowd did not have any attention to spare to marvel at the power of the world. Their gazes were all fixed in fear at the blinding blue and white pillar of light!
———
Inside the blue and white pillar of white, Zuo Mo was disheveled.
This was the first time he had merged mo matrices and seal scripts together so perfectly yet the power of the two together surpassed his imagination. When the blue and white mo matrices lit up, he had a bad feeling, but the light that charged upwards had immediately swallowed him.
The remnants of his clothing turned to ash. As his expression changed drastically, the grey dragon claw bracelet on his wrist suddenly lit up with a faint blood colored tinge.
This layer of blood suddenly shot out and wrapped around Zuo Mo like a ball of fire. The blue and white pillar of light was vicious but it could not defeat the thin layer of blood.
The Anti Dragon Claw!
Zuo Mo was astounded. Ever since the Anti Dragon Claw had been heavily damaged the last time he used it, it had lost its shine and its power. Its unusual state at this time caused Zuo Mo's heart to beat uncontrollably.
Zuo Mo looked down. There seemed to be even brighter threads of blood mist wrapped around his hand. They were like tiny blood dragons that wrapped around him. Suddenly, a handful of the blood mist rose, and the dragon raised its head.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar sounded in Zuo Mo's mind without warning. The blood mist opened, like a dragon stretching its great maw and howling angrily!
The ball of light that was closest to Zuo Mo immediately shook and then started to fly shakily towards Zuo Mo.
This was … …
Zuo Mo gaped at this scene. Before he could react, the blood mist on his wrist acted like a real dragon and accurately struck the ball of light floating over.
When the blood mist hit the light ball, it turned into a ball of bloody mist and tightly surrounded the ball of light.
The ball of light continued to struggle in the bloody mist, but its struggles quickly weakened until it became motionless.
The blood mist roiled as it swallowed the ball of light. The blood mist soon became denser, and there was some more light on the dragon claw bracelet on Zuo Mo's wrist.
After feeding, the blood mist became multiple times stronger and immediately headed to another ball of light.
The interior of the pillar of light turned to chaos. The remaining nine balls of light flew frantically to avoid this terrifying ball of blood mist. These balls of light were intelligent, and nimble in movement. The blood mist leapt around for a while but didn't manage to get even one.
Suddenly, the blood mist stopped and formed into a blurry dragon's head. It suddenly opened its mouth and gave a furious roar.
"Roar!"
The dragon's roar exploded in Zuo Mo's mind. His mind immediately blanked. The nine balls of light that had been fleeing all simultaneously froze. The blood mist immediately took this chance and swallowed another ball of light.
The dragon claw bracelet on Zuo Mo's hand became even brighter.
At this time, a dark gold little figure suddenly appeared within the pillar of light. A mirror image of Zuo Mo, it was the Black Gold Seal Soldier! He greedily licked his lips. He suddenly lunged at a ball of light and tried to chomp on it with his mouth. His body was small to begin with, and when he consumed the ball of light, his hands were locked around the ball of light as his legs kicked in the air. He clearly was using all of his strength.
The blood mist acted just as it had before and swallowed another three balls of light before contently flicking its tail and burrowing back into the dragon claw bracelet. The dragon claw on Zuo Mo's wrist had changed from its withered state. It became lifelike, its flesh and muscles filled out, and its claws crimson red.
A feeling rose in Zuo Mo's mind. He was able to discern the thoughts that the dragon claw was passing to him.
The efficiency of the Black Gold Seal Soldier was much lower. He only had time to chew on two balls of light. He looked yearningly at the remaining balls of light. He then carefully looked at Zuo Mo. Taking advantage of the fact that Zuo Mo was distracted, he escaped burrowing back into the ring.
Zuo Mo gaped at everything that had occurred.
He hadn't expected that the Anti Dragon Claw and the Black Gold Seal Soldier would come out midway during crafting and before he could get a grasp of the situation, he lost half of his balls of light.
The Anti Dragon Claw looked more energetic, but it had not recovered to its past state. The Black Gold Seal Soldier started to sleep again … …
Each ball of light was an earth mo weapon … …
In a flash, there were five fewer earth mo weapons … …
Five earth mo weapons!
Realizing this after the fact, Zuo Mo's mind exploded. How many mobei was that? He seemed to see an ocean of mobei disappearing in a flash. Anger rose!
There was nothing more hateful than stealing jingshi and mobei from ge!
Zuo Mo's eyes filled with blood, an extremely dangerous presence coming off him. The remaining five balls of light trembled like the sheep trembling under the claws and fangs of a demon king.
Yet the last bit of remaining reason suppressed Zuo Mo's anger. After losing five of the balls of light, the concentration of power in the blue pillar of light skyrocketed!
The forging of the mo weapons had reached the most important step. If he was the least bit careless, it would all be for nothing.
The blue pillar of light was a dan cauldron made from the earth fire and the cold currents!
Zuo Mo took a deep breath and, with the anger suppressed inside, he furiously shot mo matrices into the five mo weapons. With every mo matrix that was put into the balls of light, there would be a thread of pure earth fire and cold current that would burrow into the ball of light.
Yet, stimulated by the disappearance of an astounding amount of mobei, Zuo Mo clearly was sent into a rage, and the mo matrices that left his hands became more and more ridiculous!
With the first ball of light, he was still trying to control himself, and the mo matrices he had used were within the range of normality.
By the last ball of light, his restraint was completely gone. The mo matrices rained down like a waterfall, and there were numerous complex seal scripts mixed within them.
On this last mo weapon, he smashed mo matrices and seal scripts for two hours. He seemed to vent his anger into this ball of light.
The balls of light trembled, the Anti Dragon Claw was docile, and the Black Gold Seal Soldier was silent.
When an astounding amount of cold currents and earth fire flooded into the last ball of light, the ball of light seemed as though it would burst at any moment.
Only now did Zuo Mo suddenly recover his calm and jumped in fright.
The last ball of light was twice the size of the other four balls of light. It was like an over-inflated balloon that swayed.
Zuo Mo immediately felt his scalp prickle!
If this guy exploded … …
The result caused him to shudder. He saw this and hurriedly stopped.
The rudiments within the five balls of light were like five balls of metal liquid. They started to take shape. Zuo Mo widened his eyes and didn't dare to miss even a detail. Seeing the growth of these rudiments was very beneficial for him.
A three part weapon: sword, sabre, and shield combo; a blood coloured spear with an icicle tassel; a sun and moon chakram; a pair of thirteen-chain linked whips … …
Only the largest ball constantly changed but did not fully take form. It was like a ball of liquid metal with mo matrices and seal scripts constantly flowing on it. Zuo Mo widened his eye
s to look closely but felt dizzy. He was astounded, and his anticipation of this mo weapon grew slightly higher.
Twelve whole hours!
An unexpected mo weapon finally took form–
–a set of battle armor!
The icy blue battle armor had beautiful curves. Its dark red helm was had a murderous appearance. Every armor piece were thin and ice blue. If one looked closely, they would see that every scale was covered in countless complex and beautiful lines. There was a pair of snowy white wings attached to the back that gave it an aura of holiness.
Even Zuo Mo who had forged countless treasures couldn't help but be enchanted by this set of battle armor.
When the battle armor took form, the entire pillar of light suddenly grew.
Zuo Mo felt a great power suddenly erupt from under the ground.
Before he could react, he was like a little stone that was shot out. He shot upwards and when he passed by the five mo weapons, the five mo weapons turned into five streaks of light that tightly spun around him.
When he passed through the dozens of li of rock and flew out of the earth into the sky, everyone in Bu Zhou City couldn't help but raise their heads.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Zuo Mo left a long cry tailing after him. He had never flown so high before!
Through the cloud layer, through the atmosphere, Zuo Mo was above the clouds and didn't know how long he flew for.
Suddenly, he felt his body start to fall. He panicked even more, and an even more piteous wail started. "Ahhhh … …"
In a panic, Zuo Mo grabbed the battle armor spinning around him!
Zuo Mo only had one though in his mind.
The armor had wings!
At this time, the black clouds that filled the sky suddenly dissipated. A blinding light suddenly shone out from the thick cloud layer!
Within this great beam of light, under the upraised gazes from all of Bu Zhou City, an glittering perfect figure with large snowy wings and radiating sparks, surrounded by four glowing mo weapons, dove down like a meteor.
A shocking hum filled the air.
Boom!
The legs wrapped in icy blue armor were slightly bent as they heavily stepped onto the ground. Air currents on the ground carried dust and soil as they moved outwards. The snowy white wings moved fanned upwards and outwards, and Zuo Mo seemed to be a statue.
Pew pew pew pew!
Four streaks of light heavily embedded themselves into the ground around him. The four mo weapons showed their true appearance with a murderous air.
Everyone suddenly felt the same words appear in their minds–
A god's descent to earth!
Translator Ramblings: Everything Zuo Mo touches becomes a glutton. We’re also done with the long chapter titles.
Chapter 715: The Monarch of Mo Weapons
Cui An looked warily around. He found there were four people close in strength to him in this group of people. Those flickering gazes were filled with faint danger and great wariness.
It was crowded inside the sky shark. The sky shark that used to transport only a few hundred people now was forced to hold over two thousand and twenty people. The overcrowding could be imagined.
However, no one dared to complain. This was a sky shark that had been temporarily added to the route. There were more than three hundred sky sharks like this. All of them had one destination, Bu Zhou City. Yet even with the addition of three hundred sky sharks and their massive carrying capacity was not able to satisfy the crazy flow of people.
Each sky shark was filled to capacity with people. All the privileges of the private yards and first class residences were revoked. Each corner was filled with people. But even in such terrible conditions, people still paid twice the usual cost for a ticket.
Cui An had good luck. He had bought a shark ticket using a connection from his friend to board this sky shark.
Many more people had to travel day and night, on small mo steeds, over mountains and rivers to head to Bu Zhou City. They formed groups like herds of ants that moved towards Bu Zhou City tirelessly.
The present mo territories was boiling because of a miracle.
Four earth mo weapons and a super mo weapon of unclear grade had been created, Grandmaster Xiao Yun Hai had astounded the world!
News of this incomprehensible miracle immediately spread to every corner of the mo territories. Before this, no mo weapon grandmaster had been able to forge two earth mo weapons at once, never!
Four earth mo weapons!
Yes, four earth mo weapons. All four of them had been examined by Rare Artifacts Hall and they were all earth mo weapons of great quality. After obtaining the agreement of the grandmaster, Rare Artifacts Hall immediately publicized the detailed descriptions of these four earth mo weapons. In a brief amount of time, the information spread to the rest of the world like lightning.
The information on these four earth mo weapons were made public was like pouring hot water into a pot of boiling oil.
[Iceblood Three Hound Seat] was comprised of three mo weapons: a sabre, a sword, and a shield. This was a very rare set. The sabre and the sword were both long and narrow. The sabre was dark red, and its channels flowed like rivers. The sword was icy blue, sharp, and transparent like a sword made from crystalline ice. The shield was an buckler shield. It was completely black and had five irregularly placed stars on it.
[Blue Horsefly] was the only long range weapon among the four mo weapons. It was a blood spear, and had a tassel made from twelve ice blue crystals. What was even more wondrous was the body of the spear. The crimson red spear seemed to be soaked in fresh blood, yet when one gripped the spear, they would find that the body was made from countless minuscule flows of blood. These blood colored flows would shift slightly as though they were alive.
[Dark Clear Li Chakrams] were a pair of larger and smaller chakrams. The large one was dark gold, and had a fiery pattern. When it was held in the hand, it was like holding a ball of fire. The smaller chakram was snowy white and covered in faint patterns of the moon, almost weightless in the hand. When the two chakrams were placed close together, they would attract each other and slowly spin.
[Thirteen Pillars] was a pair of whips, each with thirteen links. The pair of whips were extremely heavy. With every flick of the whip, thunder and wind would sound. When the two whips danced together, it could cause thunder to manifest in the sky. If one was to nurture them in storm clouds, they would become even more powerful. This was an extremely rare earth mo weapon with great power.
All four earth mo weapons were first class. When Rare Artifacts Hall publicized them, the other mo weapon masters started to judge them, but everyone of them placed them in the top fifty of earth mo weapons.
Other than the Mo Weapon Master association which put all four earth mo weapons at the very bottom.
However, no one paid attention to the Mo Weapon Master Association's assessment. Everyone thought of the promise that Xiao Yun Hai had given before. One Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass could be used to trade for an earth mo weapon!
Many people beat their chests and stomped their feet. Why didn't they believe this before? Right now, on the black market, the price of a Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass had risen to a ridiculous level, and there was no supply.
Cui An had Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass!
He was just a half-step away from marshal level. Owning an earth mo weapon was something that he had dreamed about. Even if he became a marshal, obtaining one would take a very long time. But no matter which method he tried, he hadn't managed to obtain an earth mo weapon. Every earth mo weapon was treasured by their master, and would not be easily given to others.
So when he had heard Xiao Yun Hai's promise, he didn't believe it, but he had held some hope. He tried his best to get a Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass.
When the four earth mo weapons came into the world, he became excited and immediately started to head for Bu Zhou City.
On the road, he was extremely careful es
pecially when he found there were others that were close in power to him. These people were mostly mo like Cui An that were on their own. They were not dragged down by their families nor did they rely on any faction.
They had strong desires for earth mo weapons. Usually, earth mo weapons were bought out by the major factions, and they would not go onto the market. They never had any chances.
For them, Bu Zhou City was a one in a thousand chance!
Cui An couldn't help but become nervous. Among those travelling with him, would the four that were close in power to him also have Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass?
For experts of his level, other than earth mo weapons, they would be able to obtain other treasures if they tried, like the Reverse Shadow Soul SIlkgrass.
Cui An laughed inwardly. He hadn't thought that there would be a day that he would feel nervous. He had always felt that he would be able to calmly face whatever happened. He hadn't thought that he would lose his calm today.
But, in the end, he was a strong mo. His mind was strong and he quickly adjusted.
Having quieted the restlessness in his heart, Cui An was immediately listened in on the exchange between the surrounding mo weapon masters.
"Grandmaster Xiao Yun Hai is definitely the best grandmaster of this era! No, he is the best grandmaster of all time!" A mo weapon master dressed in blue robes said with an excited expression.
Strangely, no one objected to his words.
"It really … … is really too astounding!" another mo weapon master couldn't help but say. When he said this, there was incredulity mixed on his face with shock and reverence. It was a complicated expression.
Everyone had discussed this title many times in the recent while. They were not the only ones. Right now, all of the mo territories couldn't wait to present the title of best mo weapon grandmaster to Xiao Yun Hai.
Other than the strong objections from the Mo Weapon Master Association, no one else felt that this was sudden and inappropriate. Even many people inside the Mo Weapon Master Association agreed, but due to the stern attitudes of the grandmasters leading them, they didn't dare to publicly state their opinions.
