The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 856: Chapter 857: Eliminating Ye Mo

As the days passed one by one, among the seven seas of the Dantian, one of the eight dragons had already been refined by Ye Mo, transforming into a powerful dragon force, stored in the Energy Center.

Three days passed quickly.

Ye Mo was just about to head to the plaza for the gathering when Jiang Yuan hurried over.

"Brother Ye Mo, why are you still here meditating? Let’s hurry to the plaza for the gathering."

Jiang Yuan hurried over and immediately said.

"Brother Jiang Yuan, are you also going to participate in the test?"

Ye Mo asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have already been an older batch of servant disciples. Every year, there’s an opportunity to participate in the trial. This time, I must seize the opportunity to become an official disciple. That way, even Han Xing’s family will have to reconsider before dealing with me."

Jiang Yuan said calmly.

The essential difference between servant disciples and official disciples lies in both strength and status. Jiang Yuan, stuck at Great Perfection for so long, could focus entirely on cultivation if he became an official disciple, without wasting time on odd jobs.

"Brother Ye Mo, you certainly made a splash at the plaza a few days ago, allowing Senior Sister Qingtai to successfully become Sect Leader. Originally, you couldn’t participate in the test, but Senior Sister Qingtai granted you a special pass."

Jiang Yuan continued to warn: "But you offended the senior brother and Hsiao Hai, and I think he will definitely send people to trouble you during the trial."

"Just a few insignificant characters, no need to worry."

Ye Mo smiled faintly.

Then, Ye Mo and Jiang Yuan arrived at the plaza, and in an instant, many servant disciples participating in the test turned their gaze toward Ye Mo. Some of the servant disciples’ gazes were as sharp as knives, slicing across his body.

Although many people recognized Ye Mo, not many acknowledged his strength. His victory over Wang Zhong with one sword strike was entirely due to the Top-grade Celestial Weapon, the Star Sea Sword, in his hand.

Noticing various gazes falling on his body, Ye Mo directly ignored them. Although most gazes were curious, there were still hostile stares.

"Among the servant disciples, there are even Cosmos Realm experts?"

When Ye Mo sensed several powerful auras, he was slightly shocked.

"Yes, these Cosmos Realm experts were once official disciples, but due to repeated mission failures, they were demoted to servant disciples."

Jiang Yuan said.

After waiting in the plaza for a moment, an elderly man with snow-white hair slowly approached.

Or rather, he didn’t walk but moved directly using space power. The elder’s gaze was extremely sharp, sweeping over and causing some of the Martial Artists in the late stages of selection to pale.

"Disciples, I am Elder Jian Tong, responsible for your trial. You are the best batch selected from servant disciples. In this trial, if you achieve one of the top three ranks, you will be promoted to official disciples. If anyone wishes to withdraw, you may stand out now."

Seeing no one stepping out after looking over the hundreds in the plaza, Elder Jian Tong nodded slightly.

"Alright, since you all agreed to participate in the trial, allow me to explain the rules. Listen carefully."

Elder Jian Tong paused his speech, then continued: "A few days ago, the new Sect Leader ascended. It is a joyous event for our Heavenly Sword Society, so this trial is held in the Star Sea Space, opened by Sect Leader Liu Xinghai."

As Jian Tong spoke, he couldn’t help but glance at Ye Mo.

Ye Mo raised his brows, naturally understanding why Jian Tong looked at him. Liu Qingtai became the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Society because of him.

"Alright, the Star Sea Space is a boundless sea domain. In the sea, there are many Ancient Sea Demons. When these demons die, they do not produce beast cores, but Demon Cores appear instead. These Demon Cores can aid in cultivation, but the trial results are judged based on the number of Demon Cores you collect. The competition will last for three days. Moreover, your performance will be observed by me, and the ones I favor can still successfully advance."

Elder Jian Tong continued.

"If there are no objections, prepare to enter."

As Elder Jian Tong spoke, he waved his sleeve.

Whizzing sounds ensued!

A sword glow darted out from his sleeve. In the air, a luminous fissure began to stretch and multiply, eventually forming an astonishingly large rift a hundred feet wide.

Through the gigantic rift, Ye Mo saw an azure sea appear, resembling a starry ocean.

The crowd could feel the sea breeze emanating from the rift.

Upon reaching the Cosmos Realm, each of the three rotations grants a new method. The first rotation of Qiankun allows for creating space within oneself and utilizing space power. The First Transformation through Third Rotation is further divided into Transformation Stage, Turned, and Change Mind.

In the Fourth Rotation of Qiankun, one can merge their field into their spaces and absorb Origin Power of space, enhancing power during confrontation.

By the Seventh Rotation of Qiankun, they can merge their space with a continental sea domain, forming a genuinely integrated space.

This Star Sea Space was formed by Liu Xinghai merging a sea domain into his developed space, albeit just a small sea, it required significant effort to integrate.

However, he couldn’t merge a continent into his space, not even Liu Qingtai could integrate the Zone of Desolation into a space; it’s a feat nobody on Lingwu Continent could achieve. Only those who refine the Continent’s Heart can merge a continent into their developed space, at which point the power of the continent is unleashed, becoming extremely powerful.

The emergence of the Star Sea Space attracted numerous disciples to watch, with some official disciples flying over, finding open spots to sit and observe.

"In that case, let all disciples participating in the trial enter the Star Sea Space."

Seeing the space open, Elder Jian Tong shouted, prompting hundreds of servant disciples to rush in.

Ye Mo and Jiang Yuan followed, entering the Star Sea Space, soon finding themselves over a sea domain, and immediately, hundreds of disciples began scattering.

"You must be Ye Mo. I am Lu Yang. We won’t let you become an official disciple. The top three ranks belong to us three."

Just as Ye Mo was about to set off in a direction, three disciples with the Qiankun First Transformation brushed past him, one of them coldly remarked.

As he spoke, a chilly oppressive aura emanated from Lu Yang’s body, pressing heavily on Ye Mo.

This oppression posed no danger to Ye Mo at all; however, Jiang Yuan’s face turned pale, and with a flick of his sleeve, Ye Mo relieved Jiang Yuan’s oppression and led him to another part of the sea domain.

Treading on water is effortless for Martial Artists.

Ye Mo completely ignored the threat from the opponents. If they were stronger than Ye Mo, like a warrior of the Fourth Rotation of Qiankun, they could have provoked Ye Mo’s anger. However, in front of Ye Mo, opponents were nothing more than insignificant figures, so Ye Mo naturally ignored them.

Yet Ye Mo’s attitude utterly infuriated Lu Yang and the others: "This Ye Mo is too arrogant. Senior Brother wants us to eliminate Ye Mo. If we take the top three ranks, Senior Brother will reward us with a thousand Heavenly Profound Pills each. We must slaughter the sea monsters furiously."

"Alright!"

The other two nodded in agreement.
