Chapter 715: Supreme Divine Ability Platinum Dragon Fist
Back then, Shen Mo slew Lei Jinglong within the Thousandfold Thunder Prison, rescuing seven Supremes, including Lei Daoheng.
At that time, the Thunder Prison Aristocratic Family, Eastern Li Dynasty, Reincarnation Holy Land, Burning Heaven Divine Sect, and Creation Heaven Sect all extended olive branches to him.
The conditions offered by these five great powers were all good, with the Eastern Li Dynasty being the best.
Yet Shen Mo did not plan to go to the Eastern Li Dynasty.
At that time, in his view, the Reincarnation Holy Land was the best overall choice.
The Holy Land was the most ancient, storing the greatest number of methods to deal with the demon race.
Moreover, compared to other forces, the Reincarnation Holy Land knew he carried the Nine Nether Ice Flame and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame, and they would surely revere him the most.
In the eyes of most cultivators of the Reincarnation Holy Land, anyone who could suppress the demon race was good.
For the demon race, Shen Mo was simply a natural nemesis.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Reincarnation Holy Land, he was someone who must not be harmed, must not die.
Now that Shen Mo had become a Supreme, he no longer needed the protection of the Reincarnation Holy Land.
Yet even so, the treatment from the Holy Land remained the best.
Because from them, he could obtain a key treasure to counter the Nether Evil Dragon.
That ancient demon-suppressing treasure was forged by the Great Desolate Venerate specifically to suppress the Nether Evil Dragon.
The Great Desolate Venerate was a Saint, with no need to go to such lengths merely for one Nether Evil Dragon.
He entrusted this treasure to a Supreme of the Reincarnation Holy Land, ordering him to cooperate with the four beast overlords led by the Hanging Heaven Banyan Tree to jointly suppress the Nether Evil Dragon.
The role of the Hanging Heaven Banyan Tree and the others accounted for only half, while the demon-suppressing treasure's power was greater still.
However, after the successful suppression of the Nether Evil Dragon, that treasure shattered into four pieces.
Most fragments were gathered and repaired by the Reincarnation Holy Land.
By now, they should be piled up in the Holy Land's warehouse, collecting dust.
This was not a matter of chance, but intelligence Shen Mo learned after inheriting the legacy of the Great Desolate Venerate.
After briefly explaining to the Hanging Heaven Banyan Tree and Scarlet Blood Winged Tiger, Shen Mo went straight toward the Reincarnation Holy Land.
Having become a Supreme, he no longer needed to ride the wind.
Instead, he directly entered the chaotic void currents, rushing toward the Reincarnation Holy Land.
This method was faster and far more convenient.
A journey of hundreds of thousands of miles could be shortened more than ten thousandfold.
After becoming a Supreme, his body and spiritual power were greatly strengthened, and he also gained new insights into the power of the void.
Many void currents that once seemed like whirlpools devouring all, impossible to approach, now…
At most, they were nothing more than slightly faster streams.
Perception of the power of the void was like swimming skill.
The greater the comprehension, the better the skill.
Naturally, he no longer feared the void currents.
What's more, Sui Xing always hovered around the Sacred Origin Heaven.
With just a thought, Shen Mo could summon him for aid.
On the way to the Reincarnation Holy Land, Shen Mo also tested his Supreme divine abilities.
He possessed countless martial techniques.
But the most powerful were only a few.
From the Dragon Elephant chapter of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, he had mastered the Void Extinguishing Saint Spear.
From the Immortal Scripture of the Void Extinguishing Demon Sword, he had mastered the Ancient Void Sword.
From cultivating the fifth layer of the True Dragon Dao Scripture, he had gained the first stage of reinforcement for the Platinum Dragon Fist.
After careful thought, Shen Mo decided to transform the Platinum Dragon Fist into his Supreme divine ability.
Because the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength could still be cultivated further, he would surely gain stronger blood-energy martial techniques later.
As for the Ancient Void Sword, it had already reached its limit.
But the Platinum Dragon Fist still had the second and third stages of reinforcement.
Furthermore, the Platinum Dragon Fist's power at its peak, strength to the extreme and speed to the utmost, made it deeply favored by Shen Mo.
Shen Mo searched around and quickly discovered a swarm of void mites.
Void mites were beasts that roamed the void, specializing in parasitizing powerful void creatures such as Shijie and Zesheng.
Now that they had found Shen Mo, the void mites immediately swarmed toward him, intending to tear apart and devour this human Supreme who did not know his place.
With a low shout, Shen Mo instantly unleashed his Supreme divine ability.
A vast dragon arm suddenly smashed outward.
On the dragon arm, the scales gleamed like white metal, flashing with cold light.
As the fist struck out, even time itself seemed to freeze.
All the void mites abruptly stiffened.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fist blasted forward violently, and along its path, countless void mites were smashed into pulp.
With a casual motion, Shen Mo swept the corpses into his storage ring.
The corpses of void beasts were rare.
Each one helped him gain deeper comprehension of the power of the void.
Before, when he was only at the Nirvana Realm, void power was merely used to enhance martial techniques.
But now, as he needed to frequently traverse chaotic void currents, he required greater and deeper comprehension of void power.
Moments later, the effect of the first stage of reinforcement of the Platinum Dragon Fist faded.
The void mites awoke as if from a dream and scattered in panic.
They now understood that although this human Supreme's aura did not seem as imposing as those famed old Supremes, his true strength was in no way inferior.
He was not someone to be provoked casually.
Shen Mo smiled faintly.
After unleashing his Supreme divine ability, he immediately grasped the extent of the Platinum Dragon Fist's current power.
Its might had increased at least tenfold.
However, the blood energy consumed was also seven or eight times greater.
Only Shen Mo, who cultivated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and possessed blood energy surpassing that of a true dragon, could wield the Platinum Dragon Fist freely.
If it were any other cultivator, their blood energy would have been drained dry already.
"I have heard that the Supreme Realm is divided into nine tribulations, each advancement requiring one tribulation."
"I am still only a newly advanced Supreme, not yet a One-Tribulation Supreme."
"If my comprehension of void power deepens further, the first tribulation will come sooner or later. I must make preparations for it."
Shen Mo pondered as he continued toward the Reincarnation Holy Land.
…
The Reincarnation Holy Land was located in the eastern region of the Eastern Province.
The eastern region was filled with deep valleys and mountain ranges.
Thus the Reincarnation Holy Land was divided into many sections, spread across valleys large and small.
Great powers such as the Reincarnation Holy Land almost always controlled one or two void rifts, convenient for Supremes to enter and exit.
The void rift of the Holy Land lay in its central region, guarded at all times by Holy Land cultivators, never leaving their posts.
At this moment, the long-still void rift suddenly trembled.
The Holy Land cultivators were startled and immediately followed protocol to inquire.
Soon, a human voice came from within.
"I am Shen Mo. May I ask whether Senior Shangguan Yun still honors the promise made in the Thousandfold Thunder Prison?"
Hearing this, the cultivators were greatly shocked and quickly replied with respect, "Please wait a moment, I will contact Ancestor Shangguan at once."
Moments later, a figure hurriedly arrived.
This man was thin and scholarly in appearance.
It was none other than Shangguan Yun, the Supreme of the Reincarnation Holy Land whom Shen Mo had saved in the Thousandfold Thunder Prison.
He shouted, "Shen Mo is an honored guest of my Reincarnation Holy Land. Let him pass immediately!"
"Yes!"
The void rift surged, allowing Shen Mo to step safely onto the land of the Reincarnation Holy Land.
Shangguan Yun greeted him with a broad smile. "Little friend Shen, you truly chose my Reincarnation Holy Land. This is wonderful, a matter of great fortune…"
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened, his throat bobbed, and he exclaimed in shock, "You… you have become a Supreme?!"
