Chapter 609: Capturing a Semi-Immortal

At this moment, the Semi-Immortal resembling an aged skeleton finally sensed something amiss. He collided with an impenetrable spatial crystal wall, halting his advance.

With his sharp perception and vast experience, he instantly recognized the trap. "The Heavenly Net—one of Mo City’s twelve legendary Super-Rank Divine Skills? Damn it, how was it activated so quickly?"

Though Mo City rarely deployed its full might, ancient tales from the Primordial Era had exposed enough secrets. Most top-tier experts knew of its infamous twelve Super-Rank Divine Skills!

These skills originated from twelve colossal zodiac puppets. While capable of unleashing their personal divine skills independently, their true terror emerged when amplified by Mo City’s power—multiplying their potency hundreds of times.

The zodiac puppets themselves stood at Ninth-Rank peak. Their personal divine skills alone could threaten Semi-Immortals. Enhanced by Mo City, even Semi-Immortals stood no chance.

Seeing his escape blocked by these skills, Old Skull nearly succumbed to despair. Yet he roared defiantly, "Break open!"

Channeling all his magic, he unleashed his signature technique: Five-Poison Immortal Toad!

A massive spectral toad materialized behind him, woven from intricate divine patterns. The creature spewed corrosive rainbow-hued poison at the spatial crystal wall.

The gray mist comprising the wall sizzled under the assault, revealing glowing chains linked to Mo City. Though the poison eroded the chains’ surface, Mo City’s power swiftly repaired the damage, leaving the barrier intact.

Old Skull’s eyes burned crimson. He knew Mo Sect’s ancient war fortress—crafted from rare treasures and spanning thousands of miles—outmatched him completely. Without breaching the wall, death loomed.

In desperation, he struck his chest, spitting blood essence into the toad’s form. The infused illusion gained temporary ferocity, spewing poison recklessly until its form dimmed—all in vain.

The disparity proved insurmountable. Mo City advanced like a predator toying with prey, prompting Old Skull’s bitter cry: "Curse that thieving bastard! Without that accursed old bird’s interference, this trap would never hold me!"

His fury stemmed from loss—his spatial ring had contained powerful treasures, including a Ninth-Rank Treasure. With those, he could’ve detonated artifacts to breach the barrier.

Fang Lie and the old bird had anticipated this. Targeting a Semi-Immortal from the start, they feigned weakness to lure Old Skull within ten paces—critical for the old bird’s magic spirit to plunder his treasures undetected.

Had the Semi-Immortal maintained proper distance, their plan would’ve failed. Yet his arrogance delivered him into their grasp—a gift from fate itself.

Trapped, Old Skull resorted to bluster: "Fang Lie! Return my treasures and face me honorably! Does the Fang Family lack courage for fair combat?"

Fang Lie snorted. "You, a millennia-old Semi-Immortal, demand fairness while bullying a Qi Sea cultivator? Your shamelessness astounds even for Zhu Xian scum."

"Release me!" Old Skull threatened. "Or Zhu Xian and Shi Shen will slaughter every Mo Sect disciple!"

Fang Lie laughed coldly. "The Fang Family fears no threats. Mo Sect has countless disciples—kill whom you please. You’ll rot in our prisons regardless."

"Mo Qianxun would never risk—"

"The Sect Leader lent the Wisdom Token precisely for this," Fang Lie interrupted. "Zhu Xian’s glory has faded. Enough talk—seize him!"

Mo City’s mechanisms hummed. Bronze chains erupted from the Qing Snake puppet’s maw, piercing the void to ensnare Old Skull. This was the Super-Rank Divine Skill—Snake Binds Dragon, enhanced beyond measure.

Stripped of treasures, the Semi-Immortal couldn’t resist. The chains dragged him into the Qing Snake’s belly, where suppression altars awaited. Thus, Fang Lie claimed his first Semi-Immortal captive.
