The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 803: Chapter 804: The Current State of the Zone of Demons

"What purpose do you have in following me?"

Ye Mo remained extremely vigilant, as he still wasn’t sure if this zone master was friend or foe.

"Are you saying I didn’t try to stop Feng Chu?"

The zone master smiled faintly and said, "It’s not that I didn’t want to stop Feng Chu. As the zone master of the Zone of Desolation, my duty is to safeguard it. However, even as the zone master, I can only stand aside because I am no match for Feng Chu now."

"What strength does Feng Chu currently possess?"

Startled, Ye Mo asked, his mind racing.

If even a zone master of Great Perfection wasn’t Feng Chu’s match, Feng Chu’s power must be truly terrifying.

"I’m not sure. When he was at mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm, he could easily defeat a Great Perfection expert. Now that he’s reached the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, his strength has likely reached a terrifying level."

The zone master shook his head and said.

"There’s no use guessing further; we should head to the Zone of Demons now."

With that, the two of them entered the space-time wormhole leading to the Zone of Demons. Since it would take three days to reach there, Ye Mo began to meditate as soon as they entered the wormhole.

Initially, Ye Mo had absolute confidence in defeating Feng Chu, but upon hearing about Feng Chu’s formidable reputation, he felt his own strength was still lacking by a notch.

The late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm doesn’t fully define a martial artist’s strength because there are still six Profound Marks to integrate. Each integration results in a significant difference in power.

Feng Chu dared to take the Four Major Generals with him to the Zone of Demons, essentially challenging the entire zone with just five people. His strength and courage were truly formidable.

Sitting cross-legged in meditation, Ye Mo also observed the Buddha Statue of the Pagoda within his Dantian. He was curious about what transformation would occur in his Dantian after rising to the Cosmos Realm and what the so-called Pagoda of Seven Buddha Levels would be like.

The Five-Elements Cultivation Technique had always been shrouded in mystery.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the space-time wormhole began to shake violently, and the walls around them twisted and cracked, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

"Damn it, the space-time wormhole is about to collapse."

The zone master panicked immediately, "If the wormhole collapses, we’ll get caught in space-time turbulence and won’t be able to return to the Zone of Desolation."

As the words left her mouth, the zone master began to use Xuan Aura to patch the cracks in the wormhole. However, no matter how much she urged her aura, the gaps wouldn’t close.

"Just minor cracks in space-nothing more."

Ye Mo opened his eyes, waved his hands, and unleashed the Profound Dragon Powers, filling the cracks in the wormhole. Slowly, the cracks were mended, becoming stable once again.

"Such immense power."

The zone master was once again astonished, "Ye Mo, you’re only at the Heavenly Profound Realm, yet you can exhibit such immense power that surpasses Great Perfection. If you reach the mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm, perhaps you could contend with Feng Chu."

"This is just the tip of the iceberg of my strength-I am capable of much more."

Ye Mo said indifferently, returning to his meditation.

A day later, the spatial wormhole finally reached its end, vibrating once again.

At that moment, the two of them opened their eyes.

"The Demon territory, the Zone of Demons—is it finally here?"

Ye Mo looked through the wormhole opening, yet he couldn’t see any light entering. Both of them jumped directly out of the wormhole.

Above them stretched a canopy of dark clouds, with no sign of dawn visible.

"Within the Zone of Demons, there is no day or night. It is always under these dark clouds. Let’s proceed."

The zone master, having visited the Zone of Demons a few times, naturally knew the situation there.

Ye Mo laughed, and the two of them flew through the air, heading towards the largest main city in the Zone of Demons: Demon Capital City.

Within Demon Capital City was the Demon City.

Heading to Demon Capital City, Ye Mo naturally wanted to first contact Lord Mo Longzi. He had a seal to communicate with him, obtained during their exchange in Purgatory. Once in Demon Capital City, Ye Mo planned to contact him.

But upon entering Demon Capital City, they were utterly shocked.

Throughout Demon Capital City, corpses of demons sprawled everywhere, with rivers of blood flowing. The oppressive clouds overhead made the entire city resemble a living hell.

"It seems Feng Chu has already taken action, and Demon Capital City has suffered cruelly at his hands."

The zone master furrowed her brow at the scene before her, disgusted by Feng Chu’s actions. No need for such a massacre, even if he intended to besiege the Zone of Demons.

"Let me see if I can contact the young master of the Zone of Demons."

Ye Mo quickly crushed the seal, and a voice immediately echoed in his mind, "Ye Mo, are you still alive?"

"Yes, and I’m currently in your Demon Capital City. Never expected it to be bathed in blood."

Ye Mo responded calmly.

"You’re in Demon Capital City? Wait for me, I’ll come to fetch you immediately!"

A moment later, Ye Mo saw Lord Mo Longzi flying towards him, followed by a large group of experts from the Zone of Demons, each a demon of the Profound World Realm.

"Ye Mo, I heard you were slain by Feng Chu. I can’t believe you’re still alive—what’s your current strength?"

Observing Ye Mo for a moment, Lord Mo Longzi was astonished, "You’ve ascended to the Profound World Realm?"

He distinctly remembered that when he first knew Ye Mo, he was only at the Transcendence Second Realm. To think he’d already reached the Profound World Realm.

"Indeed. What happened to your Demon Capital City?"

Ye Mo didn’t divulge much. At present, his main concern was the situation with Feng Chu.

"It was the work of Feng Chu and the Four Major Generals he brought."

Upon hearing this, a flash of obvious anger passed in Lord Mo Longzi’s eyes.

"And what about Feng Chu? Didn’t he act?"

Ye Mo continued to probe.

"My father—my father has been slain by Feng Chu."

As he mentioned this, Lord Mo Longzi’s eyes reddened, "Feng Chu’s strength was just too overwhelming. After battling my father in the Zone of Chaos, Feng Chu’s power surged again. He stormed the Zone of Demons and, before millions of our experts, killed my father outright."

Upon hearing this, not only the zone master but even Ye Mo was deeply shocked. Even the Demon Lord had been killed by Feng Chu.

"Before my father died, he mentioned that Feng Chu had already integrated five Profound Marks, while he had only integrated four, leading to his defeat. Feng Chu is now in seclusion in Demon Dragon Valley within our zone, allegedly preparing to integrate the Sixth Profound Vein. Once all six are consolidated, he’ll annex the Zone of Demons completely. His four major generals couldn’t sit still, and they began a massacre in Demon Capital City, declaring they’d kill a thousand of our people a day until we completely surrender."

As Lord Mo Longzi recounted this, his expression grew increasingly grim.

"Doesn’t your Zone of Demons have anyone who can contend with those four generals?"

Ye Mo continued asking.

"The four major generals are the Celestial General, Earth General, Profound General, and General Huang Shihu. Their prowess overwhelmed even our Demon Elders within the Demon City—they were all slain, leaving us with no one to oppose them."

Lord Mo Longzi shook his head.

"Four Major Generals? I’m curious to see how capable these generals Feng Chu secretly nurtured are—claiming to kill a thousand a day."

Ye Mo clenched his fists, cracking sounds echoing from his bones.
