The female supreme’s body became completely transparent, her soul fire dimming, on the verge of perishing.
Just then.
The oil-paper umbrella suddenly emitted a hazy halo, suffused with celestial spiritual energy, strands of laws intertwining, protecting the female supreme’s soul fire from extinguishing.
Simultaneously, a surge of immense vitality sustained her dissipating spiritual body.
The female supreme’s life was hanging by a thread, but this was only temporary.
She was a life form born from a shattered divine heart; that heart was her source of life. Once the heart was completely devoured and merged by the specter, she would surely die.
“Bastard, you dare to injure her, you will die.”
Ji Mo walked towards the specter, his eyes extremely cold.
The specter trembled inexplicably, its soul quaking as if it were being stared down by an ancient god or demon.
It had never seen such terrifying eyes. A mere glance made it unbearable, scaring it into wanting to flee.
Even, it had an illusion.
If this person is pleased, a hundred flowers bloom; if this person is angered, blood flows like a river!
“He’s just a lowly human, what am I afraid of?”
The specter comforted itself, not wanting to be intimidated by Ji Mo.
It roared sternly, “With trash like you, you think you can kill me? It’s a pipe dream. I only need one finger to easily crush you.”
As soon as the words fell, it swooped down, intending to tear Ji Mo to shreds with its own hands.
The specter descended from the sky, dark light flashing between its palms and fingers. Piles of netherworld fire burned fiercely, forming a vast sea of fire, suppressing and descending.
Ji Mo was fearless. As his eyes opened and closed, sharp light blazed, and he grabbed towards the attacking specter.
The flames that filled the sky dissipated mysteriously as they approached his body.
His body was indeed peculiar, as if impervious to all methods, unafraid of attacks from various divine abilities and sorceries.
Bang!
The earth shook.
Ji Mo grabbed the specter and directly swung it up, smashing it fiercely onto the ground.
The hard rocky surface instantly cracked, spreading outwards like a spiderweb.
“Ah…”
The specter let out a scream, coughing up blood, feeling as if its bones were about to shatter.
Its face was filled with shock and terror, unable to believe it was defeated at the first encounter.
“Bastard, how could you injure such a cute girl like this, and even covet her heart? Unforgivable.”
Ji Mo stomped fiercely, kicking the specter away.
Withered leaves flew, mud and stones scattered.
The ground was gouged by a long trench as the specter was sent flying, crashing heavily into a stone mountain.
Its body cracked, bleeding all over, nearly being kicked into a pulp on the spot.
A powerful celestial spiritual aura suddenly erupted from within the specter, celestial might surging, rapidly repairing its body.
This was not its own power; clearly, the specter possessed some extremely powerful life-saving item.
“You can’t kill me.”
The specter regained its composure, for it had the essence blood of an Immortal Emperor within it, from its cheap father, enough to save its life.
In a blink, its injuries were more than halfway healed.
Can’t kill him?
Ji Mo sneered. If he hadn’t intended to cripple it to reclaim the female supreme’s heart, he would have smashed this bastard to death just now.
“Ant, die for me.”
The specter waved its hand, summoning a blood coffin, and roared to the sky, its face becoming incredibly ferocious.
It intended to unleash its strongest attack to kill Ji Mo on the spot and regain its dignity.
The specter fully activated this immortal artifact, a monstrous blood sea appearing, the aura of death filling the sky. The surging blood sea was like a vast ocean.
Then.
It moved like a ghost, its speed reaching the extreme, instantly appearing before Ji Mo and attacking again.
An eerie wind howled, filled with deathly energy.
The blood sea churned with monstrous waves, the blood coffin, along with the vast ocean,绞杀 (jiāo shā - to twist and kill) towards Ji Mo.
The terrifying blood light engulfed Ji Mo.
Rumble!
Ji Mo stepped on the Big Dipper, clenched his fist, and punched out.
“A mantis trying to stop a chariot, using a fist to block an immortal artifact, utterly foolish!”
The specter sneered, believing victory was assured. How could a flesh and blood body withstand the attack of an immortal artifact? The opponent was bound to die.
However, the next second, its smile froze, then its pupils dilated, filled with disbelief.
The blood coffin, struck by Ji Mo, cracked like porcelain, turning into countless fragments in an instant, scattering into the heavens and earth.
An immortal artifact was actually shattered by a single punch!
“Holy crap, my brother Ji Mo’s physique is invincible, he can even shatter immortal artifacts with a punch!”
Lu Wukai exclaimed, his blood boiling.
From beginning to end, Ji Mo had only used the strength of his body. If he were to unleash his spiritual energy, he would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.
The ghost fire stared at the specter, carefully sensing the celestial energy emanating from within, and whispered, “I smell the aura of the Netherworld race, this guy is not right.”
As the specter’s expression turned to shock, Ji Mo punched again, smashing it in the face.
Even after merging with the golden skeleton’s head, the specter still couldn’t withstand the power of Ji Mo’s fist, its head nearly exploding like a watermelon.
The specter’s entire face was askew, wailing in pain.
But Ji Mo wouldn’t let it off easily. He grabbed a pair of flesh wings on its back and pulled with all his might, tearing them off.
Ji Mo was not a cruel or bloodthirsty person, but the specter had crossed his bottom line, hence its fate.
For those he cared about, Ji Mo was extremely protective. With the female supreme injured like this, he would definitely make the specter pay the price.
“Ah… ah…”
The specter wailed incessantly, “Do you know my true identity? You filthy human, daring to injure me like this, my father will not let you go.”
Ji Mo paid no heed to such threats. He noticed the dark light on the specter’s chest recede, revealing the female supreme’s heart, and knew it was time.
He directly tore open the specter’s chest cavity and reached for the fragile heart.
Within the specter’s body, a small mass of black blood glowed intensely, emitting terrifying energy, attempting to stop Ji Mo.
Simultaneously, a sinister voice emanated from within, “That girl is beyond saving. Your reclaiming the heart is futile. Why not give up now, and consider it a favor to me.”
“Bah, she won’t die even if you do.”
Ji Mo was powerful and took out the heart.
The female supreme’s heart was already shattered and extremely fragile.
Later, it was blackened, devoured and refined by the specter, and now it was forcibly extracted, almost disintegrating on the spot.
“You ruined her heart like this, you are dead.”
Seeing the state of the female supreme’s heart, Ji Mo was enraged and heartbroken.
“My father is Ming E, you dare to touch me, my father will ensure you have a terrible end.”
The specter’s voice was weak and hollow, revealing its true identity, trying to scare Ji Mo.
It believed that upon hearing this, Ji Mo would tremble with fear and dare not harm it further.
“Ming E, the Lord of the Netherworld race, a famous Immortal Emperor in the Celestial Spiritual Realm. I never imagined the specter would be Ming E’s son.”
Gui Huo obviously knew Ming E’s background and introduced his identity to Lu Wukai and Old Demon beside him.
“Immortal Emperor, that’s someone who can command the wind and rain in the Immortal Realm. How could his offspring hide among your ghost tribe?”
Lu Wukai looked puzzled.
Gui Huo speculated, “Perhaps he had designs on the female supreme’s heart, intending to glean the secrets of becoming a god from it.”
“An Immortal Emperor, how can we afford to offend him?”
Old Demon was timid, swallowing hard in fear, trembling uncontrollably.
However, before his words could even finish, the specter let out its final scream, killed on the spot by Ji Mo.
Ji Hanhan never accepted any threats.
“Ah… you lowly worm, ruining my plans, you are seeking death…”
From the specter’s corpse, the mass of black blood emitted a radiance of ten thousand zhang, transforming into a terrifying figure that attacked Ji Mo.
