The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1239: Lord Snow Eagle

"How can one become a leader?"

At this moment, Xiao Yue asked.

The position of Chief Commander is certainly unattainable. One would need to become a Supreme Level expert to hold that title. So, opting for a general seems like the next best choice since a general can lead soldiers into battle and enjoy greater freedom.

"In our Spirit Martial Camp, there are a thousand territories, each with a leader. To replace a leader, one must defeat them to take their place and become the new leader."

The man answered.

"Oh? What is the usual strength of a leader?"

Ye Mo continued to inquire.

"That, I am not entirely sure of. However, those who rise to the position of leader are exceptionally skilled both in strength and tactics. Furthermore, challenging a leader is not as simple as it seems, as they won’t easily accept a challenge. You must pass the assessment of a Lower-level Dream-entering Stone before a leader will accept your challenge. Also, some leaders have already entered the Blood Prison Battlefield, but it seems that the Lord of Snow Eagle Domain has not."

The man explained.

Ye Mo nodded slightly and retrieved a Bodhi Fruit from his Sumeru ring, saying, "Thank you, brother. This is a Bodhi Fruit."

"Bodhi Fruit?"

The man’s eyes lit up as he saw the fruit. "I’ve only heard of this Bodhi Fruit, which is said to exist only on the Lingwu Continent. It appears when a Martial Artist has a Great Enlightenment under a Bodhi Tree, causing the Bodhi Ancient Qi to backfire and making the Bodhi Tree produce the Bodhi Fruit."

"Yueyue, shall we go?"

Ye Mo suggested.

"Here is a map of the Snow Eagle Domain!"

Seeing the two about to leave, the man handed over a parchment map. Since Ye Mo had given him a Bodhi Fruit, he naturally wanted to assist Ye Mo as much as possible.

"Thank you!"

Ye Mo accepted the map and gave a courteous bow before leaving.

"Ye Mo, according to what that man said, the Lord of Snow Eagle has not yet gone to the Blood Prison Battlefield. We can take over Snow Eagle Domain, become its leaders, and then head to the Blood Prison Battlefield."

Flying through the air, Xiao Yue also suggested.

"We’re currently unclear about the strength of the Lord of Snow Eagle. With my current capabilities, I can barely contend with masters who have opened the Three Time-Space Gates. If the opponent has opened the Fourth Space-Time Gate, I would have no chance."

Ye Mo shook his head.

"And there’s this so-called assessment of the Lower-level Dream-entering Stone, what is that?"

Ye Mo’s face showed confusion.

"The Dream-entering Stone is a treasure from Wraith Land. A Martial Artist who touches it will enter an illusionary land. It’s very formidable. If you pass the assessment on your first try, you’ll be able to master the Wraith Formation, which almost everyone from Wraith Land can wield."

Ye Mo explained slowly.

"So what do we do now?"

Xiao Yue looked at Ye Mo and asked.

"The Lower-level Dream-entering Stone won’t be a problem for me. The key issue is the strength of the Lord of Snow Eagle."

Ye Mo calmly stated, "I suspect that the Lord of Snow Eagle is one of the weaker leaders in terms of strength."

"Why do you think that?"

Xiao Yue looked puzzled.

"If they were strong, they would’ve likely gone to the Blood Prison Battlefield long ago. However, before we challenge a leader-level expert, we must ascertain their true strength. Otherwise, if we rashly challenge them and get defeated, it would be a needless humiliation."

Ye Mo analyzed.

"Snow Eagle City isn’t far from here, we should go take a look. Maybe we’ll find some intelligence on the Lord of Snow Eagle."

Xiao Yue glanced at the map and suggested.

"Agreed!"

The two then accelerated their flight and soon arrived at Snow Eagle City. After paying several Wheel of Reincarnation Pills, Ye Mo and Xiao Yue walked side by side into the city.

As they strolled along the street, Xiao Yue looked around and noticed the sparsity of people. "Snow Eagle City seems rather empty," she remarked.

Bam!

Just as Xiao Yue finished speaking, a fierce sound of battle erupted in the distance, startling some passersby on the street.

A shadow flew backward from the sky, steadying itself high above Snow Eagle City.

"Lord Snow Eagle, your strength has improved again!"

The shadow belonged to a man in a black robe, his face filled with astonishment.

Following that, a wave of coldness spread, forming a staircase of ice and snow in the air. On those steps was an ice-and-snow created eight-carriage sedan, though it was carried by no one, simply floating there.

Ye Mo gazed at the icy sedan and could vaguely make out a figure inside, dressed in ice-blue clothing. If Ye Mo guessed correctly, this person inside the sedan was the Lord of Snow Eagle.

"Both of them are experts of the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations, but the extent of their skills is uncertain. That black-robed man, from his aura earlier, is at least a master who has opened the Second Temporal-Spatial Gateway."

Ye Mo observed the scene in the sky and commented.

"What exactly is your strength now?"

The black-robed man snarled, his eyes fierce.

"You need not concern yourself with my strength. All you need to know is that you are not my match."

From the sedan came the lazy voice of Lord Snow Eagle, light and airy, yet it filled the faces of those around with admiration.

"Lord Snow Eagle is indeed the most talented martial artist our Spirit Martial Camp has ever seen. At thirty years of age, he had already become a leader. Though he isn’t the strongest of the 1000 leaders, he is certainly the most naturally gifted. It’s a pity the Power of Laws in the Vanquishing Martial Realm is about to disappear, or else within ten years, Lord Snow Eagle could become the foremost leader."

"Haha, once the Power of Laws disappears from the Vanquishing Martial Realm, we’ll be able to go to Lingwu Continent. With Lord Snow Eagle’s talents, he’d surely rank highly in Lingwu Continent."

"I hear Lingwu Continent’s strength doesn’t match Wraith Land. If the Power of Laws were to vanish and Wraith Army, led by Divine Venerate experts, attacked, we might find it hard to resist."

"This Blood Prison Battlefield promises to be the most intense in history."

People around them murmured and chatted.

"In that case, farewell!"

Knowing that Lord Snow Eagle had recently advanced further in strength, the black-robed man realized he was no longer a match and had no choice but to leave.

"Hold on! According to the rules, if a martial artist challenges a leader a second time and fails, they must pay a million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills. Surely you know this rule?"

Once again, an effeminate voice came from the sedan.

"What?"

The black-robed man’s face changed dramatically. He was indeed aware of this rule established openly in the Vanquishing Martial Realm: if one fails the first challenge after passing the Dream-entering Stone assessment, they can challenge the leader again. Failure a second time, however, entitles the leader to demand a million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills from the challenger.

"It seems you can’t produce it?"

Lord Snow Eagle remarked indifferently.

"Lord Snow Eagle, I don’t have that many Wheel of Reincarnation Pills. I hope you can pardon me this time."

Grinding his teeth, the black-robed man tried hard to suppress the killing aura in his voice. He hadn’t expected to lose to Lord Snow Eagle once more. In his view, the Lord of Snow Eagle was simply terrifying, narrowly winning each time, giving opponents the illusion they might defeat him, only to fail again when they attempted a rematch.
