The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 884 - 885: The Power of the Immortal Artifact
"Haha, I’ve lived more than half my life and never seen such an arrogant kid like you. Even if I give you the key, you won’t be able to open the warehouse. This key has thousands of transformations; only one can open the warehouse. If you pick the wrong one, it will immediately alarm a lot of powerful opponents."
Elder Wuu laughed heartily.
"Really? Then how about we make a bet? You give me the key. If I successfully open the warehouse, we fight again. If I fail, I’ll just have to escape."
Ye Mo replied with a smile.
"I don’t have the time for your bets. Fiery Dragon Annihilation!"
Elder Wuu sneered, and the fiery longsword in his hand continuously swirled. Flames leapt from the sword, converging in mid-air to form a fire dragon dozens of meters long. A dragon claw reached out to capture Ye Mo.
Ye Mo immediately gathered the power of the Demon Dragon Spear in his hand, infusing it with Demon Dragon Power. The spear shone with layers of demonic and draconic aura, piercing through steel-like airflow, striking fiercely at the fire dragon.
But the fire dragon, exhibiting sharp instincts under Elder Wuu’s control, grasped the Demon Dragon Spear with its claw, and destructive Xuan Aura began to transmit through.
Elder Wuu had gained the upper hand with his experience, giving Ye Mo no chance to breathe, fully unleashing space power, reinforcing the fire dragon.
Crack! Crack!
The Demon Dragon Spear, under the fire dragon’s devastating attack, first quivered and then suddenly shattered, exploding entirely.
As the fire dragon smashed the Demon Dragon Spear, it paused not a moment, letting out a roar, and charged fiercely toward Ye Mo’s body.
"Kid, you’re merely a Qiankun Second Transformation martial artist. Taking one of my moves is already commendable. Next, you’ll know the consequences of coveting my Divine Wind Sect’s warehouse."
Elder Wuu agitated his longsword again, producing two more heads on the fire dragon, which continued to ram toward Ye Mo’s body.
But just as the fire dragon approached within a yard of Ye Mo, a golden field appeared around him, blocking the attack before it could land.
Boom!
A sound like great bells and drums resounded. Around Ye Mo, a barrier inscribed with runes was ablaze with Immortal-Slaying Holy Flame, and no matter how the three-headed fire dragon assaulted, it couldn’t penetrate Ye Mo’s defense.
"A Qiankun Sixth Rotation martial artist, indeed formidable, can perfectly fuse a field with space, amplifying space power. Old fool, the warm-up is over; it’s your time to die."
Ye Mo took a step forward, and the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear flew out from behind him. In an instant, Blood Fiend Energy rampaged forth, forming chains that wrapped around the three-headed fire dragon.
The chains instantly bound the fire dragon, continuously pulling. Before it could struggle, the fire dragon howled continuously.
"What is that weapon?"
Elder Wuu was shocked, his face full of disbelief as he sensed the spear behind Ye Mo. This weapon, upon release, bound the fire dragon he had refined with Ancient Dragon Blood.
The fire dragon he had refined for nearly a hundred years, drawing on the essence of the sun and moon, was a move even opponents at Qiankun Sixth Rotation couldn’t resist. But now, it was directly bound by Ye Mo’s weapon.
"Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear!"
Ye Mo spat out each word deliberately.
"What? Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear? The third-ranked among the seven Ancient Evil Weapons?"
Elder Wuu stared intensely at the floating Blood Fiend Spear, eyes turning blood red. He stirred his longsword again, but the three-headed fire dragon was completely restrained by the chains of Blood Fiend Energy, unable to escape, seemingly doomed to vanish.
This was the true power of Blood Fiend Energy, capable of debilitating an opponent’s Xuan Aura, especially as the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear advanced to an Immortal Artifact. With the fusion of the Blood Fiend Pearl, meant to counter Energy Centers, it was no wonder the little girl had been trapped in the cave for a millennium.
As Ye Mo summoned the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear, Blood Fiend Energy directly entrapped the opponent’s trump card, effectively diminishing Elder Wuu’s strength by a tier.
"How is it possible? Can the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear be this powerful? My three-headed fire dragon has been imprisoned by the Blood Fiend Energy emitted by the spear."
Elder Wuu made repeated attempts to free the fire dragon, but seeing it trapped, he went frantic, his sword striking at the chains formed by Blood Fiend Energy, attempting to release his fire dragon.
"My Blood Fiend Spear has ascended to an Immortal Artifact but hasn’t made a real move yet. Today, you’ll be the first to taste its power."
Ye Mo clasped the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear tightly, causing slight vibrations that produced ripples in the space, directly spreading toward Elder Wuu.
Elder Wuu felt an overwhelming pressure sweep over him, his face changed drastically, and his fiery Sword Qi tore through Ye Mo’s attack.
"The Fifth Style of Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear: Blood Shadow!"
Ye Mo shouted, his form becoming ethereal, transforming into three blood shadows and lunging toward Elder Wuu.
"Not good!"
Elder Wuu initially thought Ye Mo was merely reliant on the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear. Only now did he realize that the boy before him was terrifyingly powerful.
Especially those three blood shadows, he couldn’t discern which was real.
He instantly deployed space power, reinforcing his body, constantly dodging Ye Mo’s attack.
"It’s useless. Your aura is locked by me; no amount of dodging will help."
Ye Mo chuckled coldly, and the three blood shadows simultaneously pierced toward Elder Wuu. With one strike, Elder Wuu couldn’t withstand any longer, blood spurting wildly, his Protective Profound Qi dissolving completely as he fell from the sky.
Retrieving the other two blood shadows, Ye Mo reclaimed them. The Fifth Style of the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear was inherently a skillful spear technique, intertwining reality and illusory elements, making it impossible for opponents to ascertain.
Ye Mo strode toward Elder Wuu as the Demon Dragon Power enveloped the latter, rendering him immobile, unable to call for help.
"Old man, now it’s time to hand over the key."
Ye Mo said indifferently.
"I...defeated by a Qiankun First Transformation boy? I’m unwilling!"
Elder Wuu’s hair was disheveled, his image utterly tragic, his body blood-soaked, and even his meridians wounded.
"Being defeated by an Immortal Artifact is your honor. Now hand over the key, and I’ll spare your life."
Ye Mo said calmly.
Their confrontation bore no personal enmity. Killing outright, Ye Mo hesitated; if the old man handed over the key honestly, he’d avoid suffering.
"Hmph, here’s the key! But beware, you might not open the warehouse; instead, you’ll summon other experts from my Divine Wind Sect."
Elder Wuu flicked his fingers, and an aura-concentrated key appeared in mid-air, constantly changing shape. It needed the correct form to open the warehouse, any mistake alerting other powerhouses instead.
