The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1399 - 1400: The Lord of Myriad Demons’ Trap

The scene before them was not real but an illusion. However, even the three powerful figures, Dantai Zanglian, Qin Yong, and Li Xiuyuan, whose strength could rival that of the Divine Venerable Six Souls, hadn’t noticed it.

"When exactly did we fall for this trap?"

Ye Mo was shocked. Such a bizarre method was truly mind-boggling.

"Could it be the Demonic Bird Clan?"

The Wraith Demon Emperor speculated, "Only the Demonic Bird Clan possesses such potent alluring techniques. As you were moving around, they controlled Loulan Star and released their unique colorless and odorless gas. Unaware, you stepped into the illusion without noticing anything."

This method was extremely formidable. In battle, knowing it’s an illusion, one could break it effortlessly. But they hadn’t noticed anything yet.

Fortunately, Ye Mo possessed the Eye of the Divine Beast and directly saw through the essence upon investigation.

"What should we do now?"

Ye Mo couldn’t help but ask.

"What else can we do? Perhaps we’ve already entered someone else’s territory, just waiting for us to go and meet our doom. Now, we’re stuck in a dilemma,"

the Wraith Demon Emperor said. If he were by Ye Mo’s side, he could definitely detect the gas.

At this point, it was clear they had fallen into someone else’s trap.

Boom!

Just then, a massive tremor occurred above the tribe, accompanied by haunting wails and cries from all around, terrifying the entire tribe, making them shiver in fear.

Subsequently, a majestic figure suddenly burst out from one of the tribe’s structures, suspended in the air, seemingly facing calamity between heaven and earth.

Clad in a Purple Gold Robe, the figure had emerald green eyes. Being gazed at felt like one’s spirit was pierced through.

"Is that the Lord of Myriad Demons? He’s about to ascend."

Dantai Zanglian gazed at the scene, seemingly very tense.

"His aura is gradually weakening. If we attack now, we might be able to kill him!"

Qin Yong was also very excited, still unaware that everything before them was an illusion.

"Haha! Lord of Myriad Demons, today is the day of your ascension, but it will also be the day of your fall!"

Suddenly, several voices came from afar, and Ye Mo and others saw waves of Martial Artists approaching from afar, laughing loudly at the Lord of Myriad Demons floating in the air.

These Martial Artists possessed the power of the Divine Venerable Six Souls, and even some of the Divine Venerable Seven Souls.

"What is going on? Are those people also illusions?"

Ye Mo stared at the suddenly appearing figures, utterly shocked. The illusion was too realistic. First, there was the Lord of Myriad Demons’ ascension, then powerful figures arrived, hoping to kill the Lord of Myriad Demons during his weakened state and seize the treasures on him.

"You cultivators dare to try and kill me during my tribulation. Very well, then I shall kill all of you and use your blood as offerings for my ascension,"

the Lord of Myriad Demons said as a dazzling green light burst from his eyes. His brows furrowed, and he shouted loudly at Ye Mo and others, "If you wish to kill me, come out! Even if you all attack together, you’re nothing but ants!"

"Damn it, we’ve been discovered!"

Dantai Zanglian was startled; she was about to rush out when suddenly fifteen shadows passed over their heads.

"Lord of Myriad Demons, we are of the Dead Soul Royal Family. Hand over the Myriad Demon’s Fire, and we’ll spare you. Otherwise, we’ll kill you,"

Ao Zi stepped out from the fifteen shadows, looked at the Lord of Myriad Demons, and coldly said.

"The Dead Soul Royal Family has come too, and so many strong figures!"

Alarmed within, Dantai Zanglian and others were certain that being discovered would mean certain death. Fortunately, everyone’s attention was on the Lord of Myriad Demons.

"That’s Ao Zi!"

Ye Mo was visibly shocked, never expecting to encounter Ao Zi here, and around him were powerful Martial Artists, each extremely strong.

However, what puzzled Ye Mo was, what was going on? They had fallen into an illusion, but even those strong figures from the Dead Soul Royal Family and other groups with Divine Venerable Seven Souls fell into an illusion as well?

"They must all be trapped in an illusion!"

The Wraith Demon Emperor finally concluded.

"What? All of them trapped in an illusion? How is that possible?"

Ye Mo exclaimed in shock. Their group was relatively weak, so falling for an illusion was understandable, but even the Dead Soul Royal Family and those other groups, including Loose Cultivators with Divine Venerable Seven Souls, fell into the illusion easily?

"How they fell into the illusion can’t be guessed, but the Lord of Myriad Demons is no ordinary figure. Knowing he was about to ascend to the Divine Venerate Eight Souls, how could he not prepare in advance? This scene was surely a trap set by the Lord of Myriad Demons, luring those wanting to kill him into his scheme, allowing him to break through to the Divine Venerate Eight Souls,"

the Wraith Demon Emperor analyzed.

"To trap all these experts in his scheme, it’s best to flee,"

Ye Mo exclaimed in awe, urging Dantai Zanglian, "Senior Sister Zang Lian, with so many experts appearing, we cannot kill the Lord of Myriad Demons. We should retreat."

"No, the Myriad Demon’s Fire is on the Lord of Myriad Demons. I must get the Myriad Demon’s Fire!"

Dantai Zanglian kept her gaze on the Lord of Myriad Demons, showing unprecedented determination. Turning to Ye Mo, she said, "Ye Mo, I know you’re worried about our safety, but the Myriad Demon’s Fire is crucial for me. Whatever it takes, I must get it."

"Indeed, the Myriad Demon’s Fire ranks second on the Soul Fire Leaderboard. If we acquire it, our power would surge greatly. We should stay here, waiting for the right moment,"

said Loulan Star, already under control.

Ye Mo knew that staying here was dangerous, and Dantai Zanglian appeared very concerned about the Myriad Demon’s Fire.

"Ye Mo, if you feel it’s dangerous, just leave. We’ll understand, but the two of us will stay with Sister Zang Lian,"

Qin Yong concluded, with Li Xiuyuan nodding, showing no intention to leave.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, you’re too selfish. Right now, we can’t even get close to the Lord of Myriad Demons, let alone acquire the Myriad Demon’s Fire. Staying here is just courting death. You should think about others if not yourself,"

Ye Mo spoke angrily. He couldn’t expose the Lord of Myriad Demons’ trap to avoid being discovered, putting them in further danger.

He could only argue with Dantai Zanglian, attempting to persuade the three to leave.

And indeed, Dantai Zanglian was a bit irrational. Despite the Myriad Demon’s Fire’s power, it required adequate strength to contend for it.

"Ye Mo, you can leave if you want, but I won’t!"

Dantai Zanglian said stubbornly, continuing to fixate on the sight in the sky.

Up in the sky, clouds swirled, rumbling thunder echoed, signaling the impending Transcendence Skyline. The Lord of Myriad Demons hovered in the void like an indestructible Devil, preparing to withstand the tribulation.
