The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1223: Jiumo Dao Seriously Injured

"How is this possible? You’re not dead?"

Jiumo Dao stabilized himself and looked at Ye Mo, his face full of incredulity. He knew better than anyone the power of the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death. Even he wouldn’t have had an easy time if struck by it.

"Trying to kill me isn’t that simple."

Ye Mo laughed coldly and said to the four, "We five will strike together!"

Ye Mo knew well that although he had advanced to the Third Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation, to completely defeat Jiumo Dao, he needed the help of the other four.

Apart from Ye Mo, the battle strength of the other four was comparable to the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations. Though they couldn’t fully restrain Jiumo Dao, they could certainly interfere with him.

"Alright!"

The four nodded simultaneously, stepping into the void, and rushed directly at Jiumo Dao. Their hands waved continuously, unleashing terrifying moves, and their fierce attacks struck at Jiumo Dao furiously.

Jiumo Dao knew that although these four couldn’t harm him, they could disrupt him. Feeling the combined attack of the four pushing waves of air towards him, he threw out punches in quick succession, attacking fiercely.

Boom!

Jiumo Dao let out a cold snort, facing Ye Mo’s attack. He punched forward, and Ye Mo was knocked back several meters while Jiumo Dao’s body also twitched violently.

Jiumo Dao understood that things were extremely disadvantageous for him. Almost all the disciples had diverted the white monkey, and his right arm was completely destroyed from using the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death. Without a few days of recuperation and healing, he couldn’t recover.

"Damn, that kid’s strength has increased again. Could he have encountered some fortuitous event in the Fire Temple?"

After one punch, Jiumo Dao could feel Ye Mo’s progress, and his heart was filled with shock and fear.

The most critical thing was, he didn’t have a key on him, but Ye Mo had two.

"Ye Mo, we’ll help you!"

At this moment, Hsiao Wuqing and another companion arrived just in time to block Jiumo Dao’s path.

"Experts from the three powers are teaming up to besiege me."

Jiumo Dao looked at the suddenly arriving Hsiao Wuqing and companion, his expression growing even more ferocious: "Now, I’ll show you firsthand how strong someone who has opened the Second Temporal-Spatial Gateway truly is."

Jiumo Dao’s sinister grin expanded, and his body spun suddenly, shooting downwards. Behind him, an energy Pillar of Heaven suddenly rose, stabilizing heaven and earth, making him look like a giant Divine Weapon standing tall against Heaven’s Wall City and plunging towards hell.

"This is the Ancient Buddha Clan’s peerless martial pursuit, the Pillar of Heaven. I can’t believe he has cultivated the Pillar of Heaven. It’s said that this Pillar of Heaven can connect with the immortal world. Once unleashed, the person becomes an invincible god. The golden bell is unbreakable, and all laws are unbreakable."

The appearance of the Pillar of Heaven gave the seven a sense of powerful energy, making it very difficult to break through this aura. Even their weapons were affected.

"Haha, with the Pillar of Heaven out, no one can approach. Let’s see how you defeat me."

Jiumo Dao shook his single arm, and suddenly, a powerful pull rushed towards Hsiao Wuqing, immediately capturing him in his grasp.

Everyone was shocked, but none could get close to Jiumo Dao.

"Haha, hand over the key, or face death!"

Jiumo Dao laughed.

"Do you think I would give you the key?"

Hsiao Wuqing sneered coldly.

Seeing this, Ye Mo’s face turned somber. To break this Pillar of Heaven, only the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death could be used.

"Hsiao Wuqing, hand him your key!"

Ye Mo said calmly, then passed his thoughts to the four to tell them to move further away.

"Alright!"

Hsiao Wuqing hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and took out a large key. Jiumo Dao took the key with laughter and tossed Hsiao Wuqing aside.

Then, without hesitation, he moved his body and fled into the distance.

"Once I enter the Bodhi Cave for insight and increase my strength, I’ll come back and settle accounts with you all one by one."

In his mind, he was the most promising genius of the Ancient Buddha Clan, and the Bodhi Tree was connected with Buddha. Sitting beneath the Bodhi Tree for insight, he was sure to grasp the path.

"Want to leave? It’s not that easy."

Seeing Jiumo Dao taking the key and preparing to leave, Ye Mo sneered coldly. With a thought, his spirit essences shattered instantly, and in his palm, a disc formed, surrounded by black flames that seemed to ignite the surrounding space.

"Immortal Cycle of Life and Death!"

Ye Mo hurled it, and the space was instantly sliced. A terrifying fiery disc locked onto Jiumo Dao, chasing after him.

The fiery disc flew, unstoppable by Divine Demon, and anything that touched it turned to nothingness.

"Hiss!"

Witnessing this, several people inhaled sharply in astonishment, their eyes full of disbelief. What kind of attack was this? The fiery disc in its flight seemed to obliterate everything around it.

"This is the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death. How can he use it too?"

Jiumo Dao looked at the familiar disc, his pupils constricted, and the opponent’s version was even more powerful than his own.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death about to catch up, Jiumo Dao gritted his teeth and used his other arm to launch his own Immortal Cycle of Life and Death against it.

In an instant, the two Immortal Cycles of Life and Death collided, producing a massive explosion. Within a radius of a hundred feet, everything turned into nothingness, and for a hundred years, nothing would grow there again.

Jiumo Dao couldn’t escape the explosion, and his entire being was engulfed in it. Fortunately, he hurriedly used the Pillar of Heaven, but the surge of impact showed signs of shattering his Pillar of Heaven.

Jiumo Dao secretly rejoiced, knowing that a direct hit would have killed him even with the Pillar of Heaven.

As the Pillar of Heaven shattered completely, Jiumo Dao quickly moved his body and escaped, but his body was covered in blood stains, clearly seriously injured.

"He actually got away!"

Ye Mo watched this without much surprise. The opponent was a master who had opened the Second Temporal-Spatial Gateway and knew how to use the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death. Wounding him heavily was already quite an achievement.

"What a powerful move!"

Feng Chu marveled, never expecting Ye Mo to have such a trump card. If such a move landed on him, the body of Divine Demon might not be effective either.

Others were also shocked, looking at Ye Mo with astonishment. Ye Mo’s strength had completely surpassed theirs, and Yang Suxin gave a bitter smile, realizing she could never surpass Ye Mo. Thinking about being his maid for life, Yang Suxin’s face turned red, although she knew Ye Mo didn’t care about that.

"Hsiao Wuqing, I have two more keys here. One is for Yang Suxin, and the other is the one I took from Fan Diwen, which is rightfully yours."

Ye Mo tossed a key to Hsiao Wuqing.

"Thank you!"

Hsiao Wuqing cupped his hands, secretly relieved he had made the right decision. Becoming enemies with someone like Ye Mo would have been terrifying.
