The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 974 - 975: Explosive Sky-Shattering Fire Seal
As the words fell, a figure burst out of the water, the black river water swirling around him. As the black water streamed down his body, it coalesced into a shape.
He had no head, a seven-foot-tall body, bare-chested, wearing black leather pants, holding a halberd about ten feet long. In his forehead, a green light flickered, like an eye.
The green eye on the forehead continuously scrutinized Ye Mo, making Ye Mo’s back feel a chill.
"Why doesn’t this guy have a head?"
Ye Mo wondered aloud.
"Could this guy be the Headless Li Tian?"
Hong Ling exclaimed in surprise and then nodded repeatedly, "It must be the Headless Li Tian."
"Who is the Headless Li Tian?"
Ye Mo asked.
"Years ago, he was the leader of an evil clan, a strong practitioner of the Divine Venerate Realm, and the Split Emperor Sky-breaking Halberd, the foremost among the seven Ancient Evil Weapons, was his weapon. Back then, he was beheaded and killed by a strong practitioner, and the seven Ancient Evil Weapons disappeared without a trace."
Hong Ling explained.
"A Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner? Does that mean this body is that of a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner?"
Ye Mo was shocked internally, but his face remained expressionless, eyes narrowing as he stared at the opponent.
He could sense the fluctuations of the Power of Time from the opponent, clearly indicating that this Headless Li Tian had reached the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm levels of strength.
"A mere human at the Qiankun Fifth Rotation dares to destroy my palace."
Headless Li Tian’s voice echoed from nowhere, the green light in his forehead flickered continuously, filled with an endless killing aura: "I have gathered demon cores for years and never encountered a brat daring enough to trespass my domain. Since you seek death, I’ll send you to it."
As he spoke, Headless Li Tian had already moved, sweeping the long halberd to slice at Ye Mo, a murderous aura surged forward, stabbing fiercely at Ye Mo. Instantly, time seemed to slow around him, making Ye Mo’s actions sluggish.
Ye Mo realized that the opponent’s attack contained the Power of Time, slowing time’s flow, making his movements very sluggish.
"Immortal-Slaying Domain!"
Ye Mo immediately spread out the Immortal-Slaying Domain, wrapping himself in it, knowing that if he dodged now, he was bound to be hit.
This was the power of time, able to slow down the speed of space, a capability of the Minor Wheel of Reincarnation Accomplishment, the earlier transformations. Upon reaching the Wheel of Reincarnation Accomplishment, time could be frozen temporarily, subjecting opponents to a time freeze. In later stages, Martial Artists could even extrapolate the future and past of time.
Boom!
The halberd struck the rune barriers directly, causing the barriers to tremble violently and shatter with a crack, as cracks densely spread, seeming on the verge of collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, Headless Li Tian’s green eyes flickered again, and the halberd struck Ye Mo once more, seeming determined to break through Ye Mo’s rune barriers in one go.
"Is this the effect of the Power of Time? Continuing for long will ensure my defeat."
Ye Mo knew that unleashing all his trump cards could defeat a Wheel of Reincarnation Expert, but the effect of the Power of Time was quite troublesome; any reservations would certainly lead to great disadvantage.
"Kill!"
Ye Mo shouted furiously, a golden light bursting from his forehead, forcefully tearing apart the opponent’s time-slowed space. Ten Void Rings simultaneously unraveled, 3500 strands of Demon Dragon Power roared continuously, and a spear was thrust out directly. The void around emitted booming sounds, even starting to warp.
Boom!
The spear and halberd collided directly, with a massive sound echoing, the surroundings resonated as the Demon Beasts within the Corpse Ghoul Mountain Range fled in terror.
A terrifying airwave slammed down fiercely, centered on the collision point, shattering the surrounding mountains and forests into nothingness.
Both retreated in the air by a hundred zhang, with Ye Mo retreating further than Headless Li Tian. But Headless Li Tian hadn’t expected Ye Mo not only to tear apart his time-slowing effect but also contend with him in strength.
"Damned thing!"
Headless Li Tian roared angrily, the halberd swung repeatedly, stabbing tens of thousands of times in mid-air, each slash eliciting a booming sound.
Ye Mo felt exhilarated, he could still contend with the opponent without using his Bloodline Power. Spear and halberd shadows intertwined, unleashing tremendous collision sounds.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Sparks flew everywhere in the void, spatial ripples spread around continuously, the terrifying impact caused the already chaotic area to collapse and fall apart once more.
However, Ye Mo knew his advantage was lost. With the opponent’s Power of Time acting on his body, his speed was slowing down; continuing would make it impossible to parry!
Buzz!
In solitude, Ye Mo unleashed his Bloodline Power, instantly releasing nine dragon patterns, emitting brilliant golden light. Instantly, golden light soared skyward. Incredibly, Ye Mo seemed to transform into an ancient Azure Dragon, with Blood Fiend Crazy Demon Energy pouring in, as Ye Mo thrust out a spear. The full force of the nine dragon patterns infused into the Blood Fiend Spear, unleashing the mightiest strike.
Boom!
With this thrust, even space exploded, and Headless Li Tian’s Heavenly Armament Halberd shattered inch by inch into fragments. The Blood Fiend Spear smashed through everything, striking Headless Li Tian’s body, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
"Is this guy’s body so strong, even the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear can’t break it?"
Ye Mo gripped the Blood Fiend Spear, staring fixedly at Headless Li Tian.
"The opponent’s body is that of a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner; it’s not that the Blood Fiend Spear can’t penetrate it, but that your power is too weak. No wonder few dare provoke him; even a Wheel of Reincarnation Fourth Transformation without an Immortal Artifact can’t penetrate the body of a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner."
Hong Ling said.
"What should I do then?"
Ye Mo asked, was it really a matter of walking away?
"The green glowing eye on his forehead, that’s where his demon core is. Target it for attack. If you can kill him, you’ll have a Divine Venerate body, and refining it might allow you to immediately advance to Qiankun Sixth Rotation."
Hong Ling suggested.
"Die!"
Utterly enraged, Headless Li Tian clawed, causing a halberd to fly out from the distant black-colored waters, grabbing it in his hand.
"Nine Styles of the Split Emperor!"
As these words fell, the air around began collapsing, Headless Li Tian’s halberd spinning continuously, stirring hurricanes, nine in total, appeared, lifting sand and stones from the ground, imbued with endless killing intent. In their midst, bodies would undoubtedly be obliterated.
"This is the Split Emperor Sky-breaking Halberd’s technique, a swing brings forth the Emperor Rift Hurricane."
Hong Ling promptly explained, "These Emperor Rift Hurricanes have nine styles, each capable of summoning formations from the nine hurricanes, unpredictable and changeable. With your current strength, you can’t escape. You must aim for the opponent’s weak point to strike them down in one blow, or your end will be bleak."
Hong Ling’s heavy tone underscored the formidable nature of the Split Emperor, and if just the technique was this powerful, how formidable must the Split Emperor Sky-breaking Halberd itself be?
