The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 788: Chapter 789: The Curtain Falls

"So what? As the person presiding over the competition, making a move is a violation of the rules."

Ye Mo continued:

"Haha, it is indeed a violation of the rules. Since I made a move, Yuwen Ke will be disqualified from the competition, and all the Demon Crystal Gems on him will belong to you."

Yuwen Changhong said calmly, then turned to Yuwen Ke: "Young master, take out the Demon Crystal Gems. You should return to the family. The Clan Leader will be very pleased to see your current growth."

"Hmph."

Yuwen Ke unwillingly took the Demon Crystal Gems from his field and even that half piece of the Ancient Flame Demon Seed, directly tossing them to Ye Mo: "Ye Mo, this time, I admit defeat, but don’t let me see you in the Lingwu Continent again."

Saying this, he unwillingly followed behind Yuwen Changhong, departing slowly.

This is the foundation of a large family; there are always strong individuals protecting them in secret.

"Since even Yuwen Ke lost, this Thousand City Battle should end early!"

Just as Yuwen Ke left with Yuwen Changhong, a familiar voice rang out, followed by a woman’s figure descending from the sky.

She wore a purple dress, with stunning beauty and graceful bearing, floating in the air, leaving Ye Mo completely astonished.

Ye Mo stared intently at that silhouette, hardly able to believe the scene before his eyes.

Not only Ye Mo, but even the little girl and Hong Ling were equally surprised.

"Ye Xiao, long time no see!"

The woman’s eyes were like stars, quietly watching Ye Mo: "I didn’t expect you to pass all three of my tests, and not only that, you performed outstandingly in the third test."

"You? You’re Zi Yi!"

At that moment, Ye Mo couldn’t believe his eyes. He then realized that the familiar voice he had heard all along was her, the leader of Frost Ice City’s trade event was Zi Yi, and she didn’t recognize him because he was wearing the diamond mask.

"Zi Yi? Who is Zi Yi? I think you are mistaken."

Palace Master Qin remained calm.

"You’re not Zi Yi?"

Ye Mo continued, the Palace Master Qin before him looked almost identical to Zi Yi, even their expression and demeanor were very similar.

"It seems Zi Yi must be your friend. I’d love to see this friend you speak of, who looks exactly like me."

Palace Master Qin chuckled softly.

Hearing this, Ye Mo dismissed the notion that the Chaotic Palace Master was Zi Yi, firstly, because the other was the master of Chaos Palace, aloof and exalted, why would she go to the Door of Desolation? Moreover, her strength is at least at the Cosmos Realm, whether it’s her real body or energy clone, she couldn’t enter the Zone of Desolation.

"They do indeed look identical, even their voices are very alike."

Ye Mo nodded.

"Alright, enough idle talk. I am the master of Chaos Palace."

Palace Master Qin reintroduced herself.

Instantly, the gorge fell silent, all the City Lords respectfully gazed at the master.

In the Zone of Chaos, Chaos Palace is the dominant power, and every city can be considered a breeding ground for picking talents for Chaos Palace.

Being the master of Chaos Palace is a supreme existence.

"Technically, the Thousand City Battle is supposed to last three months. However, I no longer need to see the results; based on your performance, I will select the top ten. As for talking about rules with me, I am the rules."

Palace Master Qin said lightly, making all the City Lords not dare to disobey, for the rules are made by the strong, and the number of Demon Crystal Gems is just a reference.

However, the number of Demon Crystal Gems remains a standard for the master to judge performance.

"In that case, I will announce the competition’s results and rewards on the Thousand Cities Rankings."

After saying this, Palace Master Qin’s figure began to blur.

Then, a voice echoed within Chaos Palace: "This Ye Mo actually didn’t die. If he finds out I’m the one who orchestrated his father’s death, he might turn against me, but as long as I don’t say anything, he’ll never know that Zi Yi is my energy clone. To finish the long-planned Dragon Slayer, I have to take this risk once."

Palace Master Qin never expected that Ye Mo was Ye Xiao; he was alive and even astonishingly completed the Thousand City Battle, having passed all the tests she set for him. Such talent was worth her risk.

Watching the master disappear, Ye Mo frowned slightly, an uneasy feeling rising in his heart.

But now is not the time for these thoughts; since the Thousand City Battle is over, as soon as the results are out, he needs to return to the Zone of Desolation.

The competition has settled, with results beyond doubt, Ye Mo achieved the championship of the Thousand City Battle with absolute superiority, while Gu Xingyue secured second place, and surprisingly, Yao Yue took third. The candidates for the remaining seven places were already chosen.

Moreover, every surviving City Lord from the Thousand City Battle received a Top-grade Spirit Artifact.

As for the top ten rewards, they will be given out a month later at Chaos Palace. Knowing their wealth, the rewards will surely be highly enticing.

The Thousand City Battle finally came to a close.

The biggest beneficiary of this battle was undoubtedly Ye Mo.

Entering the Black Jade Mountains, he was only at the Transcendence Ninth Realm, and now he reached the early stage of the Profound Heaven Realm.

He not only became the champion of the Thousand City Battle but also did so with heaven-defying talent.

At every instance, the champions are typically Great Perfection Realm powerhouses, yet this time, Ye Mo, a dark horse, emerged, using his late-stage Profound Heaven Realm strength to awe everyone.

Of course, Ye Mo acquired many treasures, first of which was the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear, upgraded to a Middle Grade Celestial Weapon alongside the Taiji Heavenly Sha Spear Qi.

The Five-Elements Cultivation thoroughly evolved into the Buddha Dharma Method, laying a solid foundation for creating the Buddha Space and refining the Butu Tower. The biggest ace was the Five Elements Immortal Futu Palm, capable of stabilizing the cosmos with a single strike.

The last one was the Immortal Music Stone; though its purpose remained a mystery, it was undoubtedly a treasure.

Moreover, there’s fame. The Thousand City Battle champion title, with its significant value, is hard-earned. Even across the entire continent, this title carries substantial weight.

And certainly, there’s a future. Ye Mo would absolutely be invited by Chaos Palace, no doubt about it.

Chaos Palace’s reputation echoed across the entire continent, comparing the Door of Desolation to Chaos Palace is like comparing a primary school to a prestigious university—entirely incomparable.

This time’s harvest was undoubtedly the greatest.

The competition lasted entirely two and a half months, almost 80 days, and Ye Mo never expected he could reach the Profound Heaven Realm’s strength.

Now, he needs to return with the strength of an Arrogant View Xuan Realm, in all glory.
