Chapter 490: Killing Du LongTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“No, I refuse to admit defeat,” Du Long said. “I am elite among the elites in the Diamond Goldsteel Physique Clan, a prodigy destined to break through to the Transcendence Realm. How could I possibly lose to the likes of you?”
He let out a roar and grabbed onto Ye Mo’s Sky Blood Spear with one hand, his other hand launching towards him.
Boom!
He attacked with all his strength. His punch caused Ye Mo to lose his grip on the Sky Blood Spear.
In terms of strength, Ye Mo was far behind Du Long, with a single fist enough to send him flying backward.
Du Long grabbed the Sky Blood Spear and drew it out of his chest. He was trying to use his powerful bloodline to heal his wound again.
“Thinking about recovering even after being struck by the Sky Blood Spear?” Ye Mo asked. “Will of Blood, Aura Fusion Realm.”
Ye Mo looked at Du Long. Reaching out a hand, he connected mentally with the Sky Blood Spear, unleas.h.i.+ng the Aura Fusion Realm. In an instant, Du Long felt all the blood in his body starting to pour outwards, toward the Sky Blood Spear.
“What kind of spear is this?” Du Long screamed, wide-eyed. “How are you doing that?” He tossed the Sky Blood Spear away.
Ye Mo leaped into the air. Grabbing onto the Sky Blood Spear, he charged toward Du Long and stabbed at him again, this time finis.h.i.+ng him off with one final blow.
Psst!
Du Long, a member of the Diamond Goldsteel Physique Clan, was stabbed straight through by Ye Mo. With a faint air of indignity, he fell to the ground.
“Ye Mo killed Du Long that easily?” Standing at the entrance of the cave, embracing Xiao Jing as she watched on, Nangong Yurou’s face was filled with shock. The two of them had been equal in strength not that long ago. Thinking about how a man of such stature was going to be her future husband, Nangong Yurou smiled faintly.
After finis.h.i.+ng Du Long off, Ye Mo took his Dimensional Bracelet – there were more than ten Desolate Ancient Pearls inside.
“Yurou, let’s go now.”
Tian Yimen’s plan had been completely foiled by Ye Mo and Xiao Yue. But they hadn’t figured out who the mastermind behind the plan was, and the trials were still going on.
Ye Mo and Nangong Yurou, equipped with a map, managed to collect more than 200 Ancient Desolate Pearls in the Desolate Ancient World.
During the rest of the trial, Ye Mo was faced with plenty of disciples of the other Five Dao Palaces, who were all after Ye Mo’s Desolate Ancient Pearls. They were all defeated.
These disciples weren’t all exactly strong in terms of their training level. Most of the newcomers of the Five Dao Palaces didn’t even get a shot in before Ye Mo defeated them.
During the month’s time, Ye Mo advanced from the initial stage of the Heaven’s Strength Realm to the intermediate stage, his Caged Dragon Powers also awakening up to 150,000 rays.
Ye Mo had a treasured weapon fused with the Blood Saber Energy in the form of the Sky Blood Spear. With his abilities, no one below the half-Transcendence Realm was capable of defeating him.
Time pa.s.sed and they were left with one day before the Six Light Formation of the Desolate Ancient World was to activate once again.
That day was going to be the most intense day of the trials, with crazy fights as everyone tried one last time to get as many Desolate Ancient Pearls as they could.
“Ye Mo, now that we’ve collected more than 200 of these Desolate Ancient Pearls, I’d guess that no one has more than us.” Nangong Yurong covered her pet.i.te mouth, her heart filled with joy. But as soon as she thought of leaving the Desolate Ancient World, her heart was filled with sadness.
During the past month spent finding Desolate Ancient Pearls and slaying beasts with Ye Mo, his care for her was evident, causing her to catch feelings for him. And, since they had already had those kinds of relations, in her heart, she already saw Ye Mo as her man.
“Yes, but let’s not get carried away,” Ye Mo said calmly, toying with one of the Desolate Ancient Pearls. “We’ll reach the transportation point of the Six Light Formation soon. I expect that there’ll be a lot of newbies already gathered there – they may attack us.”
“They’re all just jealous of your talent,” Nangong Yurou said, smiling. “Every time they try to steal your Desolate Ancient Pearls, they fail. Even the strongest disciples among the newcomers won’t stand a chance.”
“Let’s head towards the transportation point of the Six Light Formation now,” he said. “If they behave themselves, that’ll be it. If they dare dream about attacking us, I wouldn’t mind taking away all of their Desolate Ancient Pearls.”
Weaving through the Black Wood Forest, Ye Mo and Nangong Yurou grew nearer and nearer to the transportation point of the Six Light Formation.
Boom!
They heard a loud explosion, then the noise of a fierce battle going on, somwhere far away. The noise came from the transportation point of the Six Light Formation – there were plenty of newcomers setting their sights on the Desolate Ancient Pearls scattered across the ground. Besides the pearls, there were a few disciples lying on the ground lifelessly.
The other Five Dao Palaces were already engaged in a fierce battle even before Ye Mo arrived.
A glance around and Ye Mo could see more than a hundred pearls – who would be able to resist it? If one person successfully stole the pearls, they were guaranteed a place in the rankings. If they caught the eye of Elder Tai Shang of the Inner Peak, they would be able to get into the top three and be rewarded with a treasure weapon.
Disciples who were able to make it to this part of the trials were all fighters with significant strength. Each of them had their sights set on taking a spot in the rankings.
They were all focused on getting those Desolate Ancient Pearls – those who were strong enough went forward to fight for the pearls, even willing to sacrifice their lives for them.
“Angry Spirit Demon Claw!”
The first to make his move toward the Desolate Ancient Pearls was a newcomer from the Angry Spirit Dao Palace, along with a few other elite fighters. He was named Gui Che and was already in the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm. An elite fighter from an Angry Spirit Clan himself, his strength increased tenfold after unlocking the Angry Spirit Dao. He was the strongest newbie in the Angry Spirit Dao Palace and was far better than his fellow fighters in the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm.
The ones who made their move alongside him were all elite fighters from the Angry Spirit Dao Palace, their strength either in the Spirit Devour Realm or the Explosive Energy Realm. Giving off a unique aura, there were evidently some special fighters within the group.
It looked like they were acting together to secure the area for themselves, clearing out all the other disciples and claiming the leftover Desolate Ancient Pearls for their own collections.
“Brother Tai Yan, Zi Yi, that Gui Che is overly ambitious. Let’s make our move and steal those Desolate Ancient Pearls from him.” It was Jian Kuang. Seeing the disciples of the Angry Spirit Dao Palace, he shouted at the top of his voice.
“Attack!” Tai Yan let out a roar and waved a single arm out toward the group from the Angry Spirit Dao Palace.
At the same time, Mu Lin, the strongest newcomer of the Human Dao Palace, along with a group of fighters in the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm, Gu Yuan, the strongest newcomer of the h.e.l.l Dao Palace, and Huang Zu, the strongest newcomer of the Beast Dao Palace, all struck at once.
In an instant, the whole area was embroiled in chaos as an extremely messy brawl broke out.
Boom!
Something exploded. The weaker disciples were sent flying out of the battle circle. Those who remained were the strongest five disciples of the remaining FIve Dao Palaces.
The five of them were sent flying back at the same time. They each looked greedily at the pile of Desolate Ancient Pearls.
“The top newcomers of all these Five Dao Palaces are way too strong – this is not a battle that we should mess with. Let’s just stand aside and watch while we wait for the Six Light Formation to be activated.”
Looking on, the weaker disciples all started to think about retreat.
But at that moment a dark shadow descended from the sky. With a palm that carried an irresistible force, he absorbed all of the Desolate Ancient Pearls into his hand.
The shadow landed on a mountain peak. To everyone’s surprise, of the countless number of disciples who were fighting over the pearls, it was Ye Mo who appeared out of nowhere and swooped in to take them all.
