Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Mo and Miao Miao were engulfed by a wave of monstrous aura the moment they landed. From where they were standing, they could see most of the edge of the North Desolation Mountain, which was filled with demons.
Besides their appearance and skin color, the demons largely resembled humans from other places and were extremely eye-catching.
“So many demons!” Ye Mo, using his incredibly sharp sight, did a sweeping glance. There were 500 demons patrolling just the perimeter of the area. All of them were at least in the True Energy Realm, some were even in the Spirit Devour Realm.
With so many demons around the outskirts of the mountain, how many were there going to be inside?
“Brother Ye Mo, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” Seeing all the demons, even Miao Miao was feeling cautious. Against opponents in the Spirit Devour Realm, from the moment that they started, it would be a long, tiresome battle to the finish. “These demons showed up for no apparent reason and now they’re trying to seal the mountain. They might be scheming against the Spirit Fox Clan’s Devil Refining Gourd.”
“The Devil Refining Gourd?” Ye Mo asked, surprised. “The legendary item that cultivates all sorts of devils and demons? Isn’t it a sacred treasure of the Spirit Beast Clans that’s supposed to be able to cultivate anything?”
“It is.” Miao Miao nodded. “But my ancestor decided it was too powerful, and seeled it. It’s useless now.”
“It seems like the demons are afraid of invading your Spirit Fox Clan because they have the Devil Refining Gourd.” Ye Mo frowned. “Sister Miao Miao, how about this? I’ll attract the attention of the demons out here and you sneak into the mountain and check in with your clan.”
“Alright. Be careful,” Miao Miao said quickly before disappearing from the spot, leaving nothing but a shadow behind.
Ye Mo left as well, moving with explosive speed. Sky Blood Spear in hand, he charged head-on toward the patrolling demons.
He released A hundred spear light blades in an instant. They rained from the sky and surrounded the demons.
With the Sky Blood Spear unleashing relentless strikes, the outskirts of the North Desolation Mountain resembled a charnelhouse.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Four demons in the Explosive Energy Realm were fatally struck by the spear light blades, their bodies exploded and their limbs scattered in the snow.
With a single move, Ye Mo killed a hundred demons without breaking a sweat.
He attracted the attention of the elite demons. They moved toward Ye Mo. One of them was in the initial stage of the Spirit Devour Realm.
In a few breaths, Ye Mo was completely surrounded by a group of demons, snarling at him ferociously.
“Hey, you demons, what are you doing here at the North Desolation Mountain?” Ye Mo shouted to the lead demon, not a shred of fear. “I’m a disciple of the Door of Desolation’s Asura Dao Palace. Who are you? Tell me your names – I don’t kill nameless fools.”
The leader was intimidatingly large, clad in black steel armor. He held a giant battle knife in one hand, the tip imbued with devilish aura to strike fear into his opponents.
“I am Mo Jiao,” the lead demon said. “You’re a disciple of the Door of Desolation, the Asura Dao Palace no less? Explains why you were brave enough to attack our army like this. Master Mo Hun will reward me handsomely when I capture you and give you to him.” He burst into wild laughter.
“Master Mo Hun?” Ye Mo’s eyes flashed. “You’re from the Demon City? Why are you all here at the Desolation City? And why are you trying to seal the North Desolation Mountain?”
“Ha, since your fate is sealed anyway, I’ll tell you,” Mo Jiao said. “We’re here to destroy the Spirit Fox Clan and steal their Devil Refining Gourd. Our Demon Master will be able to use his abilities to cultivate the Devil Refining Gourd into a Human Refining Gourd, to cultivate humans like you. When that time comes, the Door of Desolation will become our first target to attack.” His expression turned solemn. “I know that you’re here to destroy us for the Door of Desolation, but you’re the one who’s going to be destroyed.”
“Master Mo Jiao, don’t waste any more breath on him,” one of the demons said.
“He’s a disciple of the Asura Dao Palace – they’re all ridiculously strong and have a lot of extraordinary techniques. Let’s deploy the Seven Star Ultimate Killing Formation and cut off any chance of him escaping.”
“Deploy formation and kill him!”
Besides Mo Jiao, all the other demons inhaled wildly and shot a beam of demon energy from their mouths. The energy beams gathered together, forming seven balls in the air. Each of them was imbued with the collective will of the demon army.
The seven balls circled Ye Mo, giving off a frightening aura that enshrouded Ye Mo from top to bottom.
“Disciple of the Door of Desolation, the Seven Stars represent the Ultimate Massacre.” Mo Jiao stared at Ye Mo coldly. “It’s our Demon Clan’s ultimate killing formation. After our formation takes shape, you will be engulfed in complete darkness.
As he finished speaking, Ye Mo made his move.
Whoosh!
He released a frightening aura as the silhouette of a towering Asura Deity descended from the skies. In an instant, the natural elements in the surroundings were completely absorbed. Ye Mo’s whole body disappeared within the deity as well.
“Where is he?” one of the demons asked, surprised.
In the next moment, all they could see was Ye Mo, Sky Blood Spear in hand, sending a spear strike through Mo Jiao’s body.
Mo Jiao’s was in the initial stage of the Spirit Devour Realm. He was regarded as a rare prodigy in the Demon City.
The last thing he would have expected was for Ye Mo to not only escape from the Seven Star Ultimate Killing Formation, but also send a strike straight through his body without a hint of difficulty.
Boom!
Just like that, the frightening aura that plagued the area was extinguished, and Mo Jiao’s previously smug expression was replaced with fury.
Against elite fighters in the initial stage of the Spirit Devour Realm, Ye Mo was now capable of killing his opponent with a single strike.
Peircing Mo Jiao’s body with a single strike, Ye Mo didn’t hesitate. The demon lifeforce was relentless – without taking out his demon heartstone, Mo Jiao wouldn’t stay down forever.
“Die!”
Mo Jiao extended his demon palm and struck at Ye Mo. Ye Mo countered with a palm strike of his own. The mountain range around them started to crack and explode. The two of them were sent flying back hundreds of meters.
“He’s stronger than he looks,” Mo Jiao screamed angrily as black blood poured from his body. “He’s as strong as the Spirit Devour Realm. Don’t be complacent. Awaken the Seven Star Ultimate Killing formation now!”
“Xiao Jing, it’s your turn to shine now,” Ye Mo shouted. “Destroy their giant formation and kill as many as you can! I’ll deal with Mo Jiao.”
Ye Mo immediately released Xiao Jing. The moment she appeared, she formed into a golden ball of shadow, darting to and fro through the air. Every flash of golden silhouette was followed by a demon dropping to the ground with a hole in its chest and its heartstone broken.
The demons screamed like they were burning in hell. They didn’t even know what happened to them as demon after demon collapsed.
“Who would’ve thought that Xiao Jing would be this powerful,” Ye Mo said. “Even elite fighters in the peak of the Spirit Devour Realm don’t stand a chance against her, I’m afraid.”
