The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 618 - Purple Residence
Chapter 618: Purple Residence
Ye Mo was extremely interested in the mysterious Young Master. Upon his arrival to the Door of Desolation, he heard that his strength was in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm. Since then, he’d managed to advance multiple times, reaching the Profound World Realm and was now making huge strides toward the Profound Heaven Realm. Such an advancement speed was frightening indeed.
What’s more, with his Demon Body reaching the Profound Heaven Realm, withing the Door of Desolation, perhaps even the elders in the Desolate Mountain wouldn’t be able to suppress him.
The Profound World Realm borrows strength from the earth, while the Profound Heaven Realm borrows strength from the skies. As for any realms above these two, their power source was above the earth and the heavens.
Ye Mo dared not think about reaching such heights yet, instead deciding to focus on solidifying his training.
Even though the Young Master was hugely gifted, being equipped with the Demon Body, Ye Mo’s strength symbolized the deities – the strongest power. Even the Demon Body would have to bow down before it.
However, as an adversary, this Young Master had pressured Ye Mo a lot, a pressure even greater than Li Tianqiong’s. After all, Li Tianqiong hadn’t known Ye Mo was an enemy. The Young Master had already noticed him.
The competition was to be held in Purgatory, with the so-called Four Major Generals – fighters stronger than Mu Sang – participating. Hence, the upcoming month was not going to be kind to Ye Mo.
At the moment, he could defeat a fighter in the Eighth Tier of the Transcendence Realm. If he were to match up against some Eighth Tier fighters with exceptional gifts or generational martial techniques, it would be quite difficult for Ye Mo to handle.
He could kill a fighter in the Eighth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, but not easily.
While the competition was called the Saint Elect Tournament, picking out disciples in the Six Dao Palaces good enough to become saints and bringing them into the Desolate Mountain, it was more of a deathmatch, a game of chess specifically designed to kill him.
There was an official notice of the tournament the second day after Ye Mo met with Xiao Yue.
All the disciples in the Sixth Tier of the Transcendence Realm and above were allowed to participate. The elimination match was held in Purgatory, with details of the competition to be revealed on the day of.
Ye Mo returned to the Asura Dao Palace and found all the other seniors busy training as well.
Ye Mo’s heart entered the Mountain and River Diagram, and Hong Ling tagged along.
The Mountain and River Diagram could take in one’s heart, and could also take in Ye Mo’s physical body – it had various benefits.”read comics on our ReadReadNovelFull.live”
“Now that you’ve advanced to the Second Tier of the Transcendence Realm, I’m afraid that it will be very difficult for you to reach the Third,” Hong Ling warned Ye Mo. “With one month left before the start of the Saint Elect Tournament, you should know what you’ll be facing.”
Treating him like her own child, Hong Ling would only let herself stop worrying when Ye Mo became as strong as the Sky Blood Lady.
“I understand.” Ye Mo nodded in agreement before realizing that there was a huge purple palace before him. Entering the Mountain and River Diagram could lead you to any random place within it. Ye Mo had never seen this part of the Diagram before.
“What’s that?” Ye Mo asked, surprised.
“Ye Mo, it’s your lucky day,” Hong Ling said, smiling. “You just stumbled into a purple palace. Legend has it that such buildings contain the inheritance of certain elite fighters, or treasured items. Let’s go in and take a look.”
The Mountain and River Diagram contained plenty of treasures. But finding them would be like finding a needle in a haystack. That was why Hong Ling wanted Ye Mo to fuse with the Mountain and River Diagram as soon as possible. When that happened, all the treasures within it will be under Ye Mo’s control.
But it was genuine luck that Ye Mo bumped into a purple palace the moment he entered the Mountain and River Diagram.
Sometimes, training requires some degree of luck.
Hong Ling waved her hand, with the heart following her under Ye Mo’s direct control, entering the purple palace.
The interior of the purple palace was extremely complicated, with twisting and winding routes.
Ye Mo followed Hong Ling, and, within a few breaths of time, they saw a group of insects in the distance. The insects glowed warmly.
“Those insects are so strange. They can actually glow.” The heart was shocked.
“This is?” Hong Ling was shocked to see the insects. “Those are the Heart Devouring Bugs, a great item to cultivate the heart!”
“Heart Devouring Bugs? What are those?” The heart was still somewhat confused.
“Ye Mo, you’re really in luck this time. This type of Heart Devouring Bug only exists in the strongest Zone of Seals. Back in the day, when the Sky Blood Lady cultivated a spear light blade twenty levels strong, when she was in the Second Tier of Heart Training, she had this type of Heart Devouring Bug.”
With ten levels equivalent to a tier, Ye Mo was currently six levels strong and had yet to reach the Second Tier.
“How does this bug train the Heart Deity?”
The Heart Deity was of the utmost importance in the initial stage. But it was toward the end that the strength of the Heart Deity would be showcased. For instance, the strength of a will was closely linked with the Heart Deity – the stronger it was, naturally, the stronger the power of the will would be too.
“You really need to broaden your horizons,” Hong Ling started explaining. “This Heart Devouring Bug isn’t an actual insect, but a type of power source – the Sky Demon Power. When the Heart Devouring Bug eats away at your heart, in reality, it’s the Sky Demon Power grinding, slicing at your heart. This power doesn’t give you any benefit, but it will allow your heart to advance leaps and bounds in terms of quality. But the process is extremely painful.”
True to its name, the Heart Devouring Bug had caused many fighters to give up. But those who were able to endure the suffering were able to rise, like the phoenix, with their Heart Deity receiving a huge boost in quality.
“How bad is it?” Ye Mo asked.
“Your Transcendence Golden Body could be torn apart by the Heart Devouring Bug, and could explode.”
Hong Ling reached out a finger and hooked Ye Mo’s chin with a hint of a tease. “The Sky Blood Lady endured 49 days of the Heart Devouring Bug tearing away at her. While you only have a month left, it’s still possible for your heart training to reach the Second Tier.”
Hong Ling’s words were clear. Once the fighter can no longer endure the suffering, the Transcendence Golden Body that they had painstakingly generated could explode, dropping their level of training. It would be basically impossible for them to generate another Transcendence Golden Body ever again.
“Ye Mo, it will be extremely difficult for you to advance to the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm within a month,” Hong Ling said when she saw the determined look in Ye Mo’s eyes. “Furthermore, the Fourth Style of the Sky Blood Spear: the Blood Human Space requires your heart training to be at Tier Two. You need to increase your spear light blade by at least ten times for its effect to work. When you achieve that, even Ninth Tier fighters will be no match for you.”
Ye Mo nodded. “What should I do?”
Hong Lin wasn’t going to do anything to harm him. She wanted him to grow and achieve more. His heart would have to be cultivated. There were no shortcuts in one’s training journey. Even if one were to die along the journey, at least they would have no regrets.
“You need to enter that moving circle of light and sit down inside, allowing the Heart Devouring Bug to tear away at you,” Hong Ling said calmly. “All you have to do is endure.”
“Alright. It’s a do-or-die situation.”
Without hesitation, Ye Mo combined his Zhu Deity Mark within his heart completely, carrying a hint of an aura of the deities. A deity didn’t have any restrictions. The heart jumped out from his body and into the circle of light. It sat down cross-legged.
