The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1232: Dream-entering Stone Trial

Ang Tianming clearly did not expect that Ye Mo could unleash such a powerful attack; he could sense a dangerous aura from Ye Mo’s spear.

He immediately grew terrified and enraged, his eyes blasting out two gray beams once again, intending to petrify Ye Mo. Even if it couldn’t petrify him, it had to withstand Ye Mo’s attack.

However, Ang Tianming didn’t anticipate how mighty Ye Mo’s strike truly was. As Ye Mo’s spear struck, the force radiated, almost extending infinite spear will, instantly repelling those two beams.

In an instant, Ang Tianming felt death approaching and suddenly shouted, releasing an energy clone from his body to slay Ye Mo and attempt to fend off the strike.

Unfortunately, it had no effect; the Blood Fiend Spear already pierced Ang Tianming’s brow, leaving the opponent no chance, his head instantly exploding, and the energy clone in mid-air dissipated, absorbed by Ye Mo’s Devil Refining Gourd.

Then, a large amount of soul origin drifted out of Ang Tianming’s body.

To condense a soul body requires 100 portions of soul origin; generally, the first opening of the Space-Time Gate summons 4 portions, the second opening summons 6 portions, but the third opening can summon 10 portions.

It was evident how much soul origin Ang Tianming summoned. Ye Mo used the Soul Collecting Technique to absorb it, condensing a drop of spirit essences. However, this drop was not as large as initially condensed, but it suffices to unleash the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death, enough to threaten those who have opened the Fourth Space-Time Gate.

After handling everything, Ye Mo scavenged everyone’s Sumeru rings, finding some Wheel of Reincarnation Pills. Without hesitation, he hurried toward Bodhi Island.

Upon reaching Bodhi Island, Ancestor Bodhi’s voice resonated.

"Head southwest on Bodhi Island; there’s a vast clearing with a giant stone in the center called the Dream-entering Stone. Once you place your hand on it, the assessment officially begins."

Hearing this, Ye Mo furrowed his brow, surprised to start the assessment upon arrival, but said no more, following Ancestor Bodhi’s instructions, finding a vast clearing southwest on Bodhi Island, with a huge stone in the middle.

"Ancestor Bodhi, what are you assessing?"

Ye Mo landed beside the Dream-entering Stone and asked.

"You’ll know once you try. If you defeat your opponent, the assessment enters the next round. There are three rounds in this assessment. Passing all three, you will become my final disciple, and I will teach you all I know, including the technique to create Soul Fragments."

Ancestor Bodhi’s voice came again, and upon hearing this offer, Ye Mo’s heart raced. If he mastered this technique, even those Five Element League Elder Disciples stuck at the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations could break through to the Divine Venerate Realm.

In the future, dealing with the Soul Master, he would have absolute confidence. Killing him wouldn’t be enough to vent his anger; he would have to shred their souls into fragments to create Soul Fragments.

"Understood!"

Saying this, Ye Mo slowly walked up and placed his hand on the Dream-entering Stone. Instantly, changes appeared before his eyes; the environment unchanged, but four figures emerged, resembling Ye Mo identically, wielding sword, spear, blade, and halberd.

"During the assessment, if you feel you can’t persevere, you can touch the Dream-entering Stone again to exit the assessment. Fifteen days later, you must head to the far south of Tianwu Kingdom in Lingwu Continent and enter the Realm of Wraith. Hence, you only have fifteen days; strive your best!"

Ancestor Bodhi’s voice echoed in Ye Mo’s mind.

Hearing Bodhi Ancestor’s words, Ye Mo glanced at the four figures ahead, identical in appearance but dressed in red, black, white, and gold, making them distinguishable.

Moreover, the four were not grouped together but spread out, with several meters between each pair.

"Ye Mo, this should be a scenario created through dream transformation; the four in front are as realistic as you in combat but use different weapons, so their fighting techniques must differ."

Hong Ling said.

"Mm!"

Ye Mo nodded, conjuring the Demon Dragon Spear, and charged forward; since the combat techniques differ, he had a significant advantage with his understanding of spear techniques, far surpassing average people.

The four donned in red, black, white, and gold let out a low cry and simultaneously attacked Ye Mo.

After contemplating under the Bodhi Tree, Ye Mo’s spear techniques reached a pure and powerful level; although he couldn’t perform the Peerless Motian, his spear skills were unmatched by those four.

"Poof!"

With one strike, Ye Mo pierced through the red-clad Ye Mo, which utterly shattered.

"So weak?"

Ye Mo raised his eyebrows, as this result wasn’t what he expected. He thought he would experience a tough battle to kill one, but unexpectedly, he took down the red-clad Ye Mo with one strike.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the other three swung their weapons simultaneously, their speed and power surged immensely compared to before, shocking Ye Mo. Thankfully, Ye Mo reacted quickly, the spear parrying as if leaping through three thousand worlds, blocking their assault.

Bang!

The trio’s attack combined, concentrated on Ye Mo’s Demon Dragon Spear, an unmatched oppressive force threw Ye Mo back, crashing into the ground, blood leaking profusely.

The trio continued their assault on Ye Mo, his pupils contracted as he rushed to the Dream-entering Stone, his hand resting on it, the trio instantly vanished.

Assessment failed!

"What the hell happened?"

Ye Mo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, lost on why the trio’s power suddenly escalated.

"I know what happened."

At this time, the Wraith Demon Emperor said mildly.

"Tell me quickly."

Ye Mo urged.

"I can offer you a piece of advice: to truly grow strong, you must learn to observe. The higher the realm, the smaller the differences among martial artists, even when comparing martial techniques; it’s hard to discern superiority. Hence, martial artists must learn to observe and fight with mindfulness."

The Wraith Demon Emperor offered a reminder.

"Observe? Fight with mindfulness?"

Ye Mo pondered in confusion.

"Little fellow, I can’t teach you much; if you can clear these three assessments in fifteen days, you’ll discover unexpected benefits. Though I’ve assessed many disciples, even your mother and Ye Mo only passed two assessments, taking a whole month. In fifteen days, can you create a miracle?"

Standing atop a high peak, Ancestor Bodhi gazed at Ye Mo in the distance, quietly contemplating.
