The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1376 - 1377: Such a Test

"An epic-level mission, is it really that hard?"

Hearing the Wraith Demon Emperor’s surprise, Ye Mo responded in his mind.

"It’s not just hard. Just look at the mission’s reward. Completing it offers a reward of one hundred thousand Ascending Soul Pills. You can imagine its difficulty. An epic-level mission is essentially an impossible one. The mission is posted there merely to inspire those disciples. Yet this girl dares to take on an epic-level mission; isn’t she sending you to your death?"

The Wraith Demon Emperor remarked.

"Since it’s a mission, there’s no such thing as being unable to complete it."

Ye Mo replied. Even the Wraith Demon Emperor considered it an impossible mission. What exactly was it?

"Are you asking me to go with you on this epic-level mission?"

Ye Mo’s expression didn’t change much as he asked in return.

Although the epic-level mission didn’t scare him, Dantai Zanglian seemed too bold for daring to take on such a mission.

"It’s not just you; this epic-level mission allows three core disciples to lead the elite disciples to carry out the mission. If you directly promote to core disciple, we will be short one core disciple."

Dantai Zanglian’s meaning was clear, advising Ye Mo not to reveal his strength for now. First, enter the Wraith Clan as an elite disciple assessment, complete the mission together, and then, regardless of success or failure, get promoted to core disciple.

"I understand your point. Is this epic-level mission really that difficult?"

Ye Mo curiously asked.

"Very difficult. Originally, this mission was supposed to be executed by one core disciple with elite disciples. However, no one has completed it in a hundred years, so now it allows three core disciples to lead the elite disciples."

Dantai Zanglian said, "Here, take these 250 Ascending Soul Pills first. You can think it over since this task is extremely dangerous."

Ye Mo took the 250 Ascending Soul Pills from Dantai Zanglian and said, "No need to think it over; I agree. I’m also quite interested in that mission."

"Alright, then you can cultivate here. I’ve set up a Wraith Energy Array in the basement of this pavilion, where cultivation is three times more effective than outside."

With that, Dantai Zanglian left as well.

Ye Mo glanced at Dantai Zanglian, saw him leave, then took out his Genius Badge and entered its space. The cultivation environment here wasn’t of much interest to Ye Mo. He directly entered the third layer of the Genius Badge to cultivate, began absorbing the soul origin, started solidifying his cultivation at Soul Realm Second Layer. As he absorbed, Ye Mo’s Soul Sea grew more pure, and his soul power became stronger with each absorption, feeling as though his entire soul body would burst forth and transform into an invincible War God, with power sweeping across the heavens.

After several days of heart cultivation, Ye Mo began to feel a bottleneck. He had 350 Ascending Soul Pills on him, and according to the Wraith Demon Emperor’s estimate, given Ye Mo’s robust Perfect Soul Body, at least 1000 Ascending Soul Pills were needed to advance to Soul Realm Third Layer.

"For the average martial artist, advancing to Soul Realm Third Layer requires only 100 Ascending Soul Pills. Advancing to Soul Realm Fourth Layer doubles it to 200, but I need ten times the amount."

Ye Mo shook his head helplessly. While a Perfect Soul Body allowed him to cast soul techniques multiple times, advancement difficulty was far higher than with ordinary soul bodies.

He cultivated until noon the next day before coming out from the Genius Space. Now, he needed enough Ascending Soul Pills to advance to Soul Realm Third Layer. Presently, it was crucial to formally join the Wraith Clan to take on missions and gain Ascending Soul Pills.

Without troubling Dantai Zanglian, Ye Mo went directly to the testing and assessment square.

At that moment, there were only a few Wheel of Reincarnation Realm disciples on the square. Yan Fawu saw Ye Mo approaching and signaled him to stand and wait for a moment until the other disciples finished their assessments, and it was his turn.

Ye Mo stood outside the square, watching as the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm disciples underwent the Intermediate Dream Entering Stone assessment. After the time it took for a few incense sticks to burn, all Wheel of Reincarnation disciples had finished testing.

"Ye Mo, come over."

Yan Fawu said indifferently.

"Yes, Elder!"

Ye Mo went up to Yan Fawu.

"Due to a previous decree by the Wraith Clan prohibiting recruiting Divine Venerate Realm martial artists, the assessments for Divine Venerate strong practitioners weren’t prepared earlier. Recently, the Hall Master caught a few Demon Scourge Blood Wolves from the Demon Scourge Stone Forest with strength of Divine Venerate Two-Soul. Since you intend to join the Wraith Clan, use them for testing. As long as you can kill one Demon Scourge Blood Wolf, you’ve passed the assessment."

After Yan Fawu finished, with a wave of his hand, a giant cage appeared in the center of the square, made of Thunder Light Profound Iron, able to suppress Wraith Energy. Once trapped inside, even a practitioner of Divine Venerable Nine Souls would see their strength significantly reduced.

In the cage were Demon Scourge Blood Wolves, humanoid in posture, violet-red in color, their skin formed by condensed Demon Scourge Stone, indestructible. With ferocious fangs, bloodied saliva dripped from their mouths, exuding a bloody aura from head to toe.

The sight left some Wheel of Reincarnation Realm disciples pale with fright.

Ye Mo gazed at the Demon Scourge Blood Wolves. Due to being caged, he couldn’t discern their true strength.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo nodded.

"These three Demon Scourge Blood Wolves are kings among the Demon Scourge Stone Forest, inherently violent and brutal, boasting not only formidable defenses but also incredible speed. The Hall Master had quite a time capturing them. Let’s see how you fare against them in the test."

Yan Fawu, under Wang Wei Wu’s orders, intended to trouble Ye Mo, hindering him from passing.

"In that case, let us begin!"

With a wave of Yan Fawu’s sleeve, a space barrier enveloped the entire square, leaving only the Demon Scourge Blood Wolves and Ye Mo inside.

Crack!

The cage automatically opened, and three Demon Scourge Blood Wolves emerged, with a surge of ferocious, bloody aura bursting from their bodies.

Ye Mo activated the Eye of the Divine Beast and sneered, "These three Demon Scourge Blood Wolves aren’t merely Divine Venerate Two-Soul soul beasts; they’re Divine Venerable Three Souls. From the royal presence they emit, even a Divine Venerable Four Souls practitioner would find them troublesome if entangled."

"Elder Yan Fawu, are you sure these Demon Scourge Blood Wolves aren’t Divine Venerate Two-Soul? Did you make a mistake?"

Ye Mo backed to the space barrier with a calm question.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Wangwu Fa feigned ignorance with a sarcastic tone, "Even if they’re Divine Venerable Three Souls, so be it. The test has started and cannot be stopped. Did you think becoming a Wraith Clan disciple was so easy?"
