The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1402 - 1403: Discovery Underground

The current Ao Zi, whose strength has reached Divine Venerable Three Souls, can kill any martial artist in the Divine Venerate Early Stage. His attacks contain supreme might, and within a few meters, everything is shattered by the cutting Wraith Energy in his palm. Even a Divine Venerable Four Souls must take this palm seriously.

"Defeated Underling!"

Ao Zi did not know why Ye Mo said this, and it ignited his anger. Ye Mo simply reached out with an ordinary palm strike, meeting Ao Zi’s attack with no apparent technique involved.

"Trouble!"

Ao Yuntian immediately saw the difference in that palm strike and reacted, with Wraith Energy surging from his body. His longsword emitted iciness as it formed a spatial net, where fierce Sword Qi roared in every direction, enveloping Ye Mo first.

Boom!

Ye Mo’s palm collided with the net, his expression changing to one of dismay. His palm transformed into a fist, and the Immortal-Slaying Thunder Fist exploded with countless bolts of lightning, tearing the net of iciness into fragments. These fragments reformed into countless Sword Qi, cutting randomly and triggering massive explosions.

"Six-Path Samsara Domain!"

Ye Mo shouted, activating the Six-Path Samsara Domain to protect himself.

Boom boom boom!

The surrounding explosions were earth-shattering, impacting the Six-Path Samsara Domain but not harming Ye Mo.

"Damn it, that kid’s realm is obviously the same as mine, so why is his strength so formidable?"

Ao Zi watched this scene, feeling heavily struck. If it hadn’t been for Ao Yuntian’s intervention, he would have been seriously injured by Ye Mo’s previous attack.

"Disciples of the Dead Soul Royal Family, I see they are not so impressive."

Ye Mo sneered. This wasn’t his true form; if it were, Ao Zi would have been killed before Ao Yuntian could intervene.

"That kid’s strong indeed, worthy of being a disciple of the Wraith Clan."

"Indeed, the one who intervened was a genuine Divine Venerate Six Souls, yet he merely stopped the attack."

Several loose cultivators witnessing the scene also expressed surprise.

"Disciples of the Wraith Clan, your strength demonstrates you have the qualifications to negotiate with me. I now promise you that regardless of whether the Confinement Barrier is broken, we won’t let the Dead Soul Royal Family harm you."

Spoke the never-before speaking Divine Venerable Seven Souls strongman.

If it were an ordinary Divine Venerate Three Souls, they could barely affect breaking the Confinement Barrier, but the other’s combat power rivals that of a Divine Venerate Six Souls—a terrifying talent indeed.

"Young clan master, that guy’s talent is so strong, not inferior to Xue Wudi. We absolutely cannot let him go."

One disciple said.

"Indeed, such a person is completely a threat to our Dead Soul Royal Family."

Another disciple added.

"We’ll deal with this barrier first. If it’s opened, I’ll ensure he doesn’t leave the Myriad Demon Realm."

Ao Zi said sinisterly.

"Alright, everyone act together!"

As the voice fell, everyone mobilized their power again, preparing to launch a full assault on the Confinement Barrier. The scene was met with disdain by the Four Great Protectors; in their view, there was no way to break this barrier.

The Lord of Myriad Demons had once said that only a Divine Venerate Eight Souls or ten Divine Venerable Seven Souls could break the Confinement Barrier.

...

Meanwhile, Ye Mo’s true self was engaged in another task. According to the Wraith Demon Emperor’s analysis, such a powerful Confinement Barrier, placed within this canyon, must conceal something unusual.

The only possibility is that under the canyon lies a massive ore vein, providing continuous energy. Otherwise, the four protectors couldn’t establish such a powerful Confinement Barrier.

Ye Mo chose to Earth Escape directly, and the Undying Life-and-Death Flame emerged. The underground rocks couldn’t obstruct Ye Mo; they melted into molten lava before him.

Ye Mo headed towards the canyon bottom like digging a tunnel. As he progressed, the rock became increasingly hard. Initially, Ye Mo moved without pause; rocks transformed into molten lava upon approaching him. But now, he had to halt briefly before continuing.

After advancing further, Ye Mo found himself unable to move; the rock ahead was unimaginably solid. He dared not attack for fear of alerting those above.

"What kind of rock is this? Even my Undying Life-and-Death Flame can’t melt it."

Ye Mo was shocked; the Undying Life-and-Death Flame, after absorbing the Black Bone Fiery Flame, had increased in power and could even harm a Divine Venerate Six Souls, yet these rocks were unfazed.

"Ye Mo, see if these rocks contain energy. I suspect you’re near the ore vein; these stones have absorbed massive energy from proximity and become incredibly hard."

The Wraith Demon Emperor advised.

Ye Mo placed a hand on the rock before him. Indeed, he sensed powerful energy flowing inside—not ordinary stones, a giant Energy Ore with exceptional energy surpassing any he had seen.

"Absorb!"

Ye Mo placed his hand against the rock, driving the Rising Dragon Pillar. Gradually, he felt terrifying energy pass from the rock, absorbed by him.

"Such formidable energy!"

Feeling the energy invade his body, Ye Mo was overjoyed.

This bit of energy made the Rising Dragon Pillar’s energy churn. This wasn’t the ore vein yet; if he reached the vein, he’d feast immensely.

"Ye Mo, channel some energy and let the Devil Refining Gourd absorb it. I want to see what kind of energy it is."

The Wraith Demon Emperor said.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo was in no rush; even if the Confinement Barrier couldn’t be broken, Dantai Zanglian and the others’ safety was guaranteed. If he found the ore vein, he’d have a great opportunity, possibly breaking through to Divine Venerate Four Souls.

Ye Mo released a strand of absorbed energy, letting the Devil Refining Gourd absorb it. Inside the gourd, the Wraith Demon Emperor sensed that energy, his expression changing, saying: "This is demonic energy, and not ordinary demonic energy. Only the Demon King Huang Tian in the past could produce such demonic energy."
