The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 848: Chapter 849: Gu Xingyue’s Plan

The boundless coldness began to spread in all directions with Yuan Tian at its center.

"Immortal-Slaying Domain!"

Ye Mo, like an immortal descending to the mortal world, emitted a resounding and mighty voice. The Immortal-Slaying Domain unfolded instantly, forming a powerful defense. Now, in the Heavenly Profound Complete Realm, the power of the fusion of six Profound Runes erupted, making the domain’s defense much stronger than during his previous battle with Feng Chu.

Furthermore, the Immortal-Slaying Holy Flame burned more vigorously, and the coldness unleashed by Yuan Tian couldn’t even approach Ye Mo’s Immortal-Slaying Domain.

This move of Yuan Tian even contained a Heart Spirit Attack. Though the coldness couldn’t penetrate the domain, the Heart Spirit Attack activated, red light shining and shooting straight at Ye Mo’s forehead.

Seventh-tier Heart Training colliding with seventh-tier Heart Training!

Both had the same Heart Cultivation Level, and the opponent’s dual attack techniques were completely ineffective against Ye Mo.

"Perish!"

Ye Mo directly ignored Yuan Tian, stepping forward with his full Heavenly Profound Complete Realm strength, causing the heavens and earth to shatter, mountains and rivers to rupture, and icebergs in the ocean to collapse instantly. He dominated the land, seemingly able to grasp the entire world in his hands.

Swoosh!

His body directly broke through layer upon layer of coldness, surging forward, causing tremors all around.

Ah!

Nie Zhen didn’t even have time to react before he was torn apart by Ye Mo, blood raining down, and he completely perished. A Cosmos Realm powerhouse, and moreover a champion of the Thousand Cities Battle, died on the spot.

Yuan Tian hadn’t even reacted when he saw two companions dying one after another, feeling an overwhelming fear akin to facing an ancient beast.

Originally, the four of them, full of confidence, were certain they could effortlessly kill Ye Mo. With all four of them moving together, it was like four giant lions hunting a lamb, with no suspense at all. Even if Gu Xingyue, one of the lions, rebelled, it couldn’t change the situation.

But now, they had become lambs, and Ye Mo had turned into a lion.

"Damn it!"

Yuan Tian’s eyes turned red, unable to believe what he was seeing. Only then did he understand why the Hall Master had repeatedly reminded them to act carefully, or they risked an irreversible disaster.

He soared into the air again, blocking Ye Mo’s path, the Ice Soul Longsword enhanced by space power, sweeping towards Ye Mo. Before even approaching, it was sliced past Ye Mo’s Immortal-Slaying Domain, and ice layers began to form on his body.

"Ice Soul Cold Aura!"

This coldness was even more powerful than Yao Yue’s because a Ice Spirit Deity Pearl had condensed within his body, coupled with his own Qiankun Third Rotation strength and space power, he intended to completely freeze Ye Mo.

"Ye Mo, within my body is the Ice Spirit Deity Pearl, bestowed by the Hall Master, capable of unleashing coldness below minus ten thousand degrees. Let’s see how you withstand my Ice Soul Cold Aura."

Yuan Tian roared furiously.

But in the next moment, his expression froze.

Boom!

The ice layer had only half formed on Ye Mo’s body before it shattered completely. Ye Mo extended his hand, directly grasping Yuan Tian’s neck, saying coldly, "Not a match at all. Is this the strength of the Chaos Absolute Kill Group? The Ice Spirit Deity Pearl, perfect to give to the little fiend."

After speaking, Ye Mo squeezed with his hand, crushing Yuan Tian’s entire body. An ice-blue pearl shot out from his body, and even the Sword Qi was directly extracted by Ye Mo. Taking the pearl and the Ice Soul Sword Qi, Ye Mo said no more, and the Devil Refining Gourd directly absorbed his body.

Upon advancing to the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, Ye Mo consecutively killed three Cosmos Realm experts, all of them champions of the Thousand Cities Battle like himself.

"Gu Xingyue, are you okay?"

After resolving everything, Ye Mo flew over and looked at Gu Xingyue, expressing his concern.

"I’m fine."

Gu Xingyue shook her head.

"So what are you planning to do now? With the three from the Chaos Absolute Kill Group dealt with, I think you should come with me to the Heavenly Sword Society."

Ye Mo suggested.

Gu Xingyue fiddled with the hair behind her head, jumping down from Little Jing, and said, "No, I plan to go back to report in."

"What? You want to go back to report in?"

Ye Mo said in surprise.

Now that Yuan Tian and the others were killed by him, leaving only Gu Xingyue, if she went back to report, she would surely face punishment.

"Yes, if I don’t report back, Palace Master Qin will definitely send even stronger experts. Although you can defeat a Qiankun Third Rotation expert, if Chaos Palace sends a Qiankun Fourth Rotation powerhouse, there’s no way you can escape, so I must return."

Gu Xingyue said calmly, turning her back to Ye Mo.

"No, doing so is too dangerous for you."

If Palace Master Qin learned that Yuan Tian and the others were jointly killed by them, Gu Xingyue’s situation would become very dangerous. Ye Mo immediately opposed the idea.

"I am injured by your Xuan Tribulations, which can serve as a cover. Besides, I have reasons that force me to return. This time when I return, I’ll try to stop Palace Master Qin from sending people to kill you. Take care of yourself."

Gu Xingyue said, leaving without a backward glance.

Watching Gu Xingyue’s departing figure, Ye Mo furrowed his brows. What reason forced her to return? Could it really be for him? Or was there another reason?

"Brother Ye Mo, Gu Xingyue wouldn’t foolishly fall into the trap. Let’s just wish for the best ourselves. Now it’s time to do the mission."

The little girl said.

"The mission?"

Ye Mo looked at the glaciers below. With Yuan Tian’s death, the glaciers began to melt, and giant oceanic beast corpses floated to the surface.

"This saves some trouble."

Ye Mo smiled. Yuan Tian’s burst of coldness had nearly frozen all the oceanic beasts in the Southern Spirit Sea Domain to death. Those who survived were Cosmos Realm oceanic beasts.

However, collecting such a large number of oceanic beasts would take Ye Mo quite some time.

"With more than half a day before the gamble between Liu Qingtai and Du Feng, why don’t we venture back into the tomb? In this tomb, casually finding Qian Tian Spiritual Ginseng shows that the buried must be wealthy or noble. Let’s go see if we can find anything."

The little girl suggested.

But the tomb was submerged again by the sea. Ye Mo brandished his spear, splitting the hundred-zhang deep sea, diving directly into the tomb depths.

Upon returning to the tomb, Ye Mo didn’t linger by the stone coffin, charging instead into the opposite door, entering a maze of winding passages. There were corpses along the ground—none had turned into skeletons, suggesting they hadn’t been dead long.

"This passage seems to be a dead end."

Ye Mo looked around.

"It can’t be a dead end. A tomb wouldn’t have a dead end—there must be a mechanism. And see, those corpses lost their Sumeru rings, clearly taken by strong individuals. Let’s search some more."

The little girl emerged from the Sumeru ring, swaggering down the passage, exploring the walls to find hidden mechanisms.

Soon, a look of joy appeared on her face, "Brother Ye Mo, I found the mechanism!"

She announced, pressing her jade-like hand on the wall, triggering a rumbling sound as a stone door slowly rose from the depths of the passage.
