The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 775: Chapter 776: Leaderboard Changes

The seventh-tier attack rune already reaches the Universe Realm.

Why does a single attack rune cause the little girl to scream? Because this rune is of the earth attribute, crafted using beast cores from Universe Realm beasts.

Ye Mo’s Five Elements Indestructible Futu Palm has already unlocked four lines; only the earth line of the Indestructible Futu Palm remains.

Martial artists practicing earth attribute cultivation techniques are very rare; up to now, Ye Mo has barely encountered any. And now, this seventh-tier earth attribute attack rune is enough to help Ye Mo unlock the last line of the Futu Palm.

"Another hundred thousand demon crystal gems!"

Exchanging a rune for one hundred thousand demon crystal gems, and it must be used to attack himself, makes Ye Mo somewhat distressed.

"Don’t feel bad. Once you successfully cultivate the Five Elements Indestructible Futu Palm, even the Seven Star City Lord might be slapped to death by you,"

The little girl said lightly.

Even Mu Longwu, the supreme of Dragon Martial, couldn’t successfully cultivate the Five Elements Indestructible Futu Palm. Yet Ye Mo is distressed over demon crystal gems when he’s about to succeed?

Ye Mo shrugged his shoulders, spending another hundred thousand demon crystal gems to exchange the attack rune of the Spear of Slaughter.

Right now, the task is to find a powerful martial artist to activate this Spear of Slaughter rune. For sure, Gu Xingyue can’t do it as her strength could definitely unleash eighty percent of this rune’s power, which Ye Mo absolutely cannot withstand.

Yao Yue is the best choice to ensure the rune’s power can be executed to an extent that Ye Mo can endure.

The collapse of the cave signifies the end of this competition in the Mysterious Ancient Shenrui Land.

In a nutshell, Ye Mo’s gains have been significant. Not only did he advance to the late Profound World Realm, awakening 13 million Xuanlong Power, but he’s also close to successfully cultivating the Five Elements Indestructible Futu Palm.

The greatest gain would be acquiring a helper at the Heavenly Profound Completed Realm, with Blood Fiend Spear technique evolving to Taiji Heavenly Gang Spear Qi.

However, alongside the gains came numerous vendettas.

Man Tianhao, the Seven Star City Lord, naturally targets him, using the Man Tian League against him.

Ranked third in Chaos City strength is Tuoba Bubai, and ranked first is Yuwen Ke, with Half-Step Universe power and half an Ancient Flame Demon Seed, potentially breaking through to the Universe Realm.

One could say that Ye Mo now faces immense dangers.

Yet Ye Mo won’t be deterred, as the Battle of a Thousand Cities has been raging for two months. In these months of valiant bloodshed, he’s learned fear achieves nothing—only charging forward leads to ultimate victory.

Moreover, his ultimate target isn’t Yuwen Ke but Feng Chu of the body of Divine Demon. Ye Mo isn’t so arrogant as to think his current self can defeat Feng Chu; both are growing stronger.

Thus, the coming month is when Ye Mo truly exerts himself.

When the Silver Palace lands on the ground, it’s already at the center of the Black Jade Mountains; Ye Mo and Gu Xingyue fly out directly toward the main base of the Five Elements Mountain Range.

Seeing Ye Mo’s return, the City Lords guarding the main base are thrilled.

"Haha, the Alliance Hierarch is back. I knew the Hierarch would be fine."

"I said the Hierarch would be alright, see?"

"And who was clamoring to disband just now?"

Facing this scene, Gu Xingyue reveals a barely noticeable smile, feeling an unsettling gaze. She turns her head to find a woman with equal looks, staring coldly at her.

"Alright, let me introduce you. This is Gu Xingyue, the City Lord of Black Fiend City, and she is also joining our Five Element League."

Ye Mo begins the introduction.

"What? Gu Xingyue, the City Lord of Black Fiend City, ranking second in city strength, joining our Five Element League?"

"To think the Alliance Hierarch could invite her; do they have some relationship?"

"The Hierarch’s might is unmatched, even someone like Gu Xingyue has to kneel before him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo is somewhat speechless, coughs a few times, and says, "Everyone stop speculating. Gu Xingyue and I are mere partners, and the Thousand Cities Rankings will soon appear. This time, the shifts might be significant."

Sure enough, Ye Mo’s guess is spot on.

Again, the Thousand Cities Rankings emerge.

Tuoba Bubai ranks first with fifty-five thousand demon crystal gems.

Ye Mo ranks second with ten thousand demon crystal gems.

Yuwen Ke of Half-Step Universe ranks third with four thousand demon crystal gems.

Lei Wu ranks fourth with thirty-eight hundred demon crystal gems.

Bi Hongfei ranks fifth with thirty-five hundred demon crystal gems.

Ye Mo doesn’t recognize anyone ranked below fifth.

"Who are Lei Wu and Bi Hongfei?"

Ye Mo gazes at the rankings in the sky, unfazed by Tuoba Bubai ranking first.

Since the result is expected, no matter how strong the alliance is, it’s just cannon fodder. Strength is the real strong argument, and the ultimate rankings still emerge among those powerful City Lords.

However, the unfamiliar names at fourth and fifth surprise him.

"Lei Wu and Bi Hongfei are ranked fourth and fifth among Chaos City’s strength. Moreover, they are Dao companions, with formidable strength,"

Gu Xingyue says.

"Mm, the third round of competition is the real battle. Those powerful Seven Star City Lords will truly begin to act."

Ye Mo says calmly.

The Seven Star City Lords nearly touch the peak of the Heavenly Profound Realm. With Ye Mo’s current means, he’s unable to contend with them; however, Ye Mo believes that once he successfully cultivates the Five Elements Indestructible Futu Palm, he’ll be able to slap them to death.

Nevertheless, the true power of the Five Elements Indestructible Futu Palm will only be revealed upon actual usage.

"I’ll help you eliminate Tuoba Bubai and we’ll split the demon crystal gems we earn,"

Finishing her words, Gu Xingyue disappears in an instant.

"This woman, if she could advance to the Universe Realm, or even Half-Step Universe, it would be completely beneficial to me,"

Ye Mo mutters to himself. Although they have no deep friendship, he did save her several times. At least for returning kindness, she could assist him in entering the top three.

However, the top ten evidently isn’t Ye Mo’s aim. With growing strength, Ye Mo already targets the top three.

To enter the top three, one would need at least Seven Star City Lord strength.

Hence, successfully cultivating the Five Elements Indestructible Futu Palm is paramount, followed by breaking through to the Heavenly Profound Realm. If both are achieved, Ye Mo is absolutely confident in defeating Tuoba Bubai. Nonetheless, facing Gu Xingyue and Yuwen Ke, he lacks significant assurance.

Yet right now, it’s all wishful thinking. Advancing to the Heavenly Profound Realm begins with condensing Three High-grade Marks’ Profound Runes, more difficult than condensing Three Low-grade Profound Marks. Upon success, one can harness the Tianqiong Power, making the strength even more formidable.
