The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 985 - 986: Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator Breaks the Seal
Xiang Tianxing had never seen someone with such pure eyes, which strengthened his belief that following this young man before him was certainly not a wrong choice.
"Xiang Tianxing, let me help you remove all the stone layers from your body and fully restore your power." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
As Ye Mo spoke, his large hand spread open, and a beam of radiance enveloped Xiang Tianxing’s body. The stone layers on his face and arms peeled off completely, and Xiang Tianxing’s aura gradually surged back up, restoring him to the Third Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation.
"Thank you!"
At this moment, Xiang Tianxing’s heart was filled with excitement, realizing he indeed had followed the right person. He thought that dealing with the petrification himself would take time, yet Ye Mo had helped him resolve it instantly.
"Alright, let’s go check on Zi Aotian first."
Ye Mo suggested.
Now that Zi Aotian had been stripped of his faith by Xiang Tianxing, there was no need to kill Zi Aotian. Keeping him as a pawn might be valuable.
However, as Ye Mo walked along the palace corridor, he saw Zi Aotian already collapsed on the ground, lifeless.
Ye Mo was startled, rushing over to the cold corpse of Zi Aotian, his pupils shrinking as he noticed the other’s chest had been pierced by a sword—clearly someone else’s doing.
"How is this possible? Is there someone else here?"
Ye Mo exclaimed in surprise. Even if he couldn’t detect a fight here, the little girl should have been able to. Now, Zi Aotian was slain with a single sword.
"Besides me, there shouldn’t be anyone else in this ancient sect’s evil hall. Could it be another almighty has entered this place?"
Xiang Tianxing said, surprised.
"Ye Mo, run quickly, someone has broken the seal of that Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator!"
The little girl said immediately.
"We need to leave now!"
Ye Mo didn’t hesitate at all, shouting loudly: "This place is dangerous; it’s best for us to leave immediately."
"Leave? Where do you think you can go?"
A booming voice appeared, with overwhelming demonic might filling the palace’s void. A towering figure holding an enormous sword larger than his own body emerged, his skin exceptionally dark, face brimming with malice, and each strand of short hair flickered like burning flames.
His body still had stone layers, but most of them had shattered and fallen away.
This man was naturally the Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator, an expert in the Divine Venerate Realm, someone Ye Mo currently couldn’t rival.
"Master Ancient Cultivator? How could he possibly break free?"
Fear flashed across Xiang Tianxing’s eyes. He didn’t even need to look; he was very familiar with this earth-shattering aura, which only grew more profound over thousands of years.
Ye Mo realized this was an unbeatable Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner, definitely beyond his current capacity to contend with.
"Trying to escape? Is it possible?"
The moment Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator appeared, space around him froze, and as time itself slowed, all Xuan Aura became sluggish. He slowly descended, violently shaking off the stone layers on his body with a series of pops, completely freeing himself from the Petrification Technique.
Instantly, Ye Mo’s heart sank completely. Nobody could predict what this Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator intended to do. He had been besieged by many sects across the continent and petrified by Tian Xinghun, only now to be liberated. Once out, he would undoubtedly unleash a bloody storm upon the continent’s righteous sects.
However, Ye Mo perceived a trace of Demongod aura on this Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator. He had already fused with the Demongod Power, with the Demongod actively cooperating—perhaps this was his ace to escape.
"Master Ancient Cultivator, spare me!"
Xiang Tianxing immediately prostrated himself, his body trembling somewhat.
"Xiang Tianxing, as a subordinate of mine, you fled at the crucial moment."
When the Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator appeared, he shattered all the stone layers on himself, his aura growing even more formidable. Like a lion breaking its cage, anyone nearby nearly kneeled in terror: "What punishment do you deserve? To think you relied on this boy, you’ve betrayed your faith again."
While speaking, the Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator landed beside him, his countenance turning sinister.
"Master Ancient Cultivator, even if I didn’t flee back then, it was certain death. Now, serving under this boy, I’m just seeking revenge for you."
Xiang Tianxing’s words, whether true or false, sounded genuinely sincere.
"Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator, do you still remember me?"
Ye Mo spoke, releasing all the purest Demongod Power, creating a Demongod phantom over his entire body.
Seeing the phantom behind Ye Mo and sensing the explosive Demongod Power from him, the Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator recoiled a few steps, his face showing a hint of disbelief.
"It seems my guess was right. This Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator must have encountered the Demongod; otherwise, he wouldn’t show such a frightened expression."
Ye Mo thought secretly, then said: "I have already possessed this body. Surrender to me obediently, and once I restore my peak power, I will sweep across the Lingwu Continent."
By now, Ye Mo understood only the Demongod could possibly intimidate him. Not to mention if the Dragon God would intervene again, but he no longer wished to rely on the Dragon God. He wanted to face all crises with his own strength. Once he truly reached the True Energy Realm of Immortal-Slaying, the Dragon God would naturally come to meet him. He needed his own strength to earn the Dragon God’s recognition.
The Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator before him was at least an expert in the Divine Venerable One Soul Realm and far more powerful than regular Divine Venerate Practitioners. No matter what other tricks he had, escape was impossible.
"Boy, are you trying to scare me?"
Despite sensing the Demongod aura from Ye Mo, the Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator couldn’t believe the Demongod, so high and mighty, could possess such a weak body. However, he still hesitated to act, with the phantom of the Demongod looming behind, undeniably real.
"Do you think you are worth my intimidation?"
Ye Mo replied disdainfully: "You can try to fight. Although my body cannot deal with you, my spiritual energy can erase your spirit in an instant. Although it would come at a significant cost, should you dare to anger me completely, I will obliterate your spirit, never to reincarnate."
"With the Demongod’s personality, if he wanted to attack, he would have done so long ago. You’re obviously bluffing."
The Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator laughed coldly: "I, Evil Demon Ancient Cultivator, have been petrified by Tian Xinghun for so long. Now, having broken free, I must exact blood revenge upon the Heavenly Clan, leaving none alive."
"You’re truly courting death."
Ye Mo intentionally reminded him: "You’ve been sealed away for thousands of years. Though your strength is formidable, your cultivation has not advanced. You have no chance of defeating the Heavenly Clan. In harsh terms, you’ll only seek death by going there. Also, who broke your seal?"
