“Luosha Emperor, it’s time for me to set off,” said Ye Mo.
The palace sank into an eerie silence at those words.
“Ye Mo, you must be careful when you reach Door of Desolation,” Luosha Emperor reminded him. Solemnness seeped into his eyes as he continued, “The Door of Desolation’s motto has always been to uphold justice and slay the evil. If they find out you are the reincarnation of the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, they will most likely kill you. You must always be careful.”
As the largest sect in the Zone of Desolation, upholding justice and slaying the evil was the duty of the Door of Desolation. Anyone with any relations.h.i.+p with demons would be imprisoned or even killed by them.
“Don’t worry. By the way, can you do me a favor?” Ye Mo asked with his brows furrowed.
The Luosha Emperor said, “Please ask it.” He could guess that Ye Mo had something on his mind when he saw Ye Mo’s expression.
Ye Mo said expressionlessly, “In truth, I am not a citizen of the Luosha Kingdom. Rather, I originated from the Tianwu Kingdom. The Mu Clan of Cloudsea City was my benefactor. I had only entered a Luosha Blood Pool to form my own Luosha Mark for the sake of partic.i.p.ating in the battle for the Luosha Token.”
“Hehe, I have long known that. So do you want me to give Mu Clan some help?” asked the emperor.
“Yes, that is part of my request. Just consider it as me repaying my debt to them. Also, can you send someone to the Tianwu Kingdom and gather some information for me before sending someone to pa.s.s me the information,” Ye Mo said.
“Sure. Do you still remember the woman I sent you the other night? She is a warrior in charge of information gathering. It won’t be hard for her to sneak into the Tianwu Kingdom and gather some information,” said the Luosha Emperor.
Any outsiders seeking to enter the Tianwu Kingdom would have to first break through the border stronghold. The border stronghold was guarded by the Chen Clan Army and Ye Mo had personally witnessed the strength of that army. When they worked together, their martial formations weren’t something an ordinary warrior could stop.
“Her?” Ye Mo asked doubtfully.
“Don’t look down on her. She might be able to be a great help to you in the future,” said the Luosha Emperor with a smile.
“Well then, I won’t tarry. I’ll be heading to the Door of Desolation immediately,” said Ye Mo. He could not afford to keep delaying. The future was unknown and Ye Mo did not want to keep staying in one place.
The Luosha Emperor sighed slightly before saying, “With the Luosha Token, the Luosha Guard will allow you pa.s.sage outside the kingdom. On your way to the Door of Desolation, you will be pa.s.sing through a certain dangerous zone called the Desolate Demon Valley. It is an extremely large valley filled with dangers and with beasts everywhere. Do you need me to personally send you there instead?”
“Oh? How about Luo Hun and Zi Yi?” Ye Mo asked.
The Door of Desolation was located at the extreme north of the Zone of Desolation. Just the journey there was in itself a trial. An uncountable number of warriors had fallen at the Desolate Demon Valley before they even reached the Door of Desolation.
“They both left together earlier. If you head out alone, I’m afraid things will get dangerous,” said the Luosha Emperor anxiously.
“It’s fine. The path of cultivation is never easy. Just let me experience the terror of this Desolate Demon Valley. If I can’t survive the Desolate Demon Valley, how can I hope to survive the Battle of Yidao?” Ye Mo replied.
“Since that is the case, I won’t hold you back anymore. The Desolate Demon Valley is an area spanning several regions, including the Zone of Desolation and the Zone of Scour. If you can traverse it alone, it is, in fact, a great method of cultivation.”
Ye Mo nodded when he heard that.
Then, equipped with the map given by Luosha Emperor, Ye Mo started his journey to the Door of Desolation. After leaving the Luosha Kingdom, he journeyed for a day before reaching the Desolate Demon Valley.
“This is the Desolate Demon Valley?” Ye Mo was filled with regret when he saw the immense valley and the unending mountain ranges framing the valley. This was probably the place where many warriors were buried. With no hesitation, Ye Mo dashed ahead and with a few leaps, he entered the Desolate Demon Valley.
The air within the valley was always dusky, affecting Ye Mo’s vision. Warriors without sufficient strength would probably lose their way amid the miasma before ending up in the belly of some beast.
The unlucky ones would even have encountered demons and died miserable death. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Mo could not fly in the valley. Thus, he traveled on foot, doing his best to avoid the beasts there. If he stumbled upon an Energy Shaping Realm beast, it did not matter. Ye Mo could directly unleash his dragon’s might to stun those beasts. But if it was a True Energy Realm beast, the dragon’s might would not help.
Nevertheless, it was impossible to avoid all the beasts when one traversed this valley. When Ye Mo arrived at a particular expanse of empty land, he had intruded upon the territory of a certain beast. A huge number of ma.s.sive elephants appeared and started charging towards him. This was a beast known as the Long-nosed Elephant. Its body was as large as a hill and it was st.u.r.dier than a mountain. Its nose was about three meters long, and each of the beasts was as strong as a late-stage Heaven’s Gate Realm. They moved in groups and were extremely terrifying. Naturally, they were furious when they saw a True Energy Realm human intruding upon their area.
“Howl! Howl! Howl!”
They howled repeatedly, to the point even the miasma in the air dispersed.
“Well, it’s your bad luck.” Ye Mo stretched his arm helplessly. Evidently, these elephants had no intention of letting him go. All of them were staring at him with hostility.
“Blood Spear!”
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Ye Mo stabbed out several hundred times in a row. The spear lights flooded out, immediately causing those elephants to explode. The terrifying Blood Spear had instantly shredded them apart. With Ye Mo’s present strength, if he unleashed all 30,000 streams of Bright Dragon Power he had, even Heaven’s Strength Realm beasts would be killed with a single stab, not to mention late-stage Heaven’s Gate Realm beasts.
Turning into an emissary of blood, Ye Mo killed all the elephants instantly. The area was now filled with a b.l.o.o.d.y mist, making the environment seem even more sinister. Then, Ye Mo also harvested all the Heart-Stones of the beasts before continuing on his journey. The deeper he went into the valley, the smaller the path became while the beasts he encountered were stronger as well.
He encountered many beasts, such as Heaven’s Strength Realm Six Winged Firefox, Gold Python, Dual-head Demonic Tiger, and so on. They would immediately attack the moment they saw Ye Mo. As for the more intelligent beasts, they would even ambush Ye Mo. However, these beasts were all at early-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm. Thus, Ye Mo was able to easily kill them.
Ye Mo quickly headed towards the depths of the valley. At a certain point, his vision cleared up, and two figures appeared before him. The presence of the two was rather weak. They were currently sitting cross-legged while healing their injuries. Both of them were dressed in similar blue robes with a large “Desolate” written on the back of the robes.
“Are they the disciples of Door of Desolation?” Ye Mo was alarmed. These two were at late-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm. They seemed to have sustained some serious injuries.
Sitting opposite them were three people. The three looked like normal humans apart from their faces that looked incredibly furious. Their fangs were long and sharp and their eyes were perfectly round. Clearly, these were the so-called demons the Luosha Emperor had mentioned.
Apart from them, there was a stunningly beautiful woman there as well. A green scarf was wrapped around her, covering the red undergarments she wore. Her shoulders were laid bare, appearing incredibly seductive. The bountiful peaks she had on her chest were also extremely eye-catching. Below, she was wearing a long dress that reached the ground below her.
“Two brothers from the Door of Desolation, you are not my match. Why don’t we go and do something happy?” said the woman as she strode elegantly towards them.
