Chapter 475: Entering the Desolate Ancient World
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“It’s rumored that the Desolate Ancient World is another space. It’s not like Lingwu Continent, but there are still various adventures inside. It was created by our society head. The amount of power that must take is unimaginable.”
“The head’s strength is beyond our comprehension, but the talent of the young society head is even more fearful. Rumor has it that the Demon Blood flows within him. He also has a very powerful physique. It won’t be long before the young society head will surpass the society head.”
“That lady hasn’t yet reached the Transcendence Realm, but she’s still favored by the young society head. She sure is lucky.”
In their eyes, Xiao Yue may look absolutely stunning. But in a world dominated by martial arts, her strength was weak compared to other martial artists.
“Let’s speak softer. If the young society head hears, we won’t even know how we died when he kills us.” After saying that, the two disciples whispering to each other looked around, before going back to practicing.
As soon as Ye Mo entered the Desolate Ancient World through the Six Light Formation, he landed in a forest. It didn’t feel like an ordinary forest, though. The soil Ye Mo landed on was strange. It felt burnt as the temperature was extremely high. Generally, when an Energy Shaping Realm martial artist walks here, their feet would not get burnt. If it wasn’t for Ye Mo’s Caged Dragon Power, his shoes would have been burnt.
Ye Mo was surrounded by thick, impenetrable black trees. They were covered in layers of hot bark and leaves that glowed red hot. They would have looked like a sea of fire if viewed from above. The trees were continuously burning, emitting hints of Zone of Desolation.
Ye Mo did not care about any of that. Instead, he locked onto Xiao Yue’s shadow. Using the Caged Dragon Power, he ran towards Xiao Yue.
“Yue Yue!” Ye Mo yelled. His sound was like thunder, as Flame Leaves from the black wooden trees fell. The leaves shook as they touched Ye Mo.
Xiu!
A cold voice sounded. A Three-headed Fire Snake jumped out of a black wooden tree. With three heads and a body covered with rock-like scales, it opened its jaws and exposed its sharp teeth as it lunged Ye Mo. Ye Mo’s attention was on Xiao Yue. He hadn’t noticed the Three-headed Fire Snake. As for the Three-headed Fire Snake, it was extremely fierce as it had the power of late Energy Burst Realm and was able to spurt out a poisonous mist.
Pu!
Just like that, Ye Mo was bitten by the Fire Snake. He only realized as he punched out. Dragons roared, as the Roar of the Giant Dragon headed towards the Fire Snake.
The Fire Snake also did not realize that Ye Mo, a martial artist in the Heaven’s Strength Realm, would react so fast. Originally, it wanted to paralyze Ye Mo with its Fire Poison, then swallow him in one go. But when the snake felt Ye Mo’s powerful punch, it realized its mistake. It felt like it was met with Fierce River Dragon. Its body was smashed into a black tree. Its face showed fear as it wrapped around the trunk and went up into the Flame Leaves trying to escape.
Ye Mo got angry as Xiao Yue’s shadow disappeared. He locked onto the Three-headed Fire Snake and lashed out with the Sky Blood Spear on his back, cutting the air. It cut the Fire Snake and the black tree it hid in in half.
That kind of tree is so firm that even martial artists in the early Spirit Devour Realm couldn’t break it, but Ye Mo was able to easily cut the tree in half along with the Three-headed Fire Snake.
The Fire Snake didn’t die immediately. It opened its mouth and spurted a stream of flame at Ye Mo. The flame was extremely hot. A demonic beast that could adapt to this environment was naturally good at making fire-based attacks. The fire was at least as hot as the Flame of the Sun.
Ye Mo opened one hand and condensed a Caged Dragon Shield. The Five Elements Water True Energy broke out. As the flame hit the shield, it sizzled. The three-headed, six-eyed Fire Snake was shocked.
“Go die!” Ye Mo screamed as he rose from the ground. The Sky Blood Spear descended from the sky and nailed the Fire Snake’s head onto the ground.
“Damn Fire Snake. You made me lose sight of Yue Yue.” Ye Mo stabbed a dozen times before his anger receded.
“You were blinded by that girl. Yue Yue, that’s why an Energy Burst Realm demonic beast was able to bite you on the shoulder,” a helpless voice sounded in Ye Mo’s head. It was Hong Ling. “This old lady sure is worried about you. You could die here in the Desolate Ancient World.”
“You? How can you communicate with me?” Ye Mo asked surprised.
“My body completely recovered because I absorbed the dragon blood you emitted,” Hong Ling said. “So, naturally, I can communicate with you. Right now, you should worry about the fire poison on your shoulder.” Ye Mo suddenly realized the fire poison would be troublesome to deal with. He would need to wait for some time before he could use the Rising Dragon Pillar to dissolve the fire. He had to give up on chasing Xiao Yue, find an empty area and begin slowly dissolving the fire.
After half an hour, Ye Mo’s body healed. He set off again, but this time he turned into a headless fly. They didn’t say where to find the Desolate Ancient Pearls for the trial, but they only gave a month. Even by chance, it was possible to find one pearl. Otherwise, he would have to steal one.
Ye Mo had been traversing the forest for some time. He encountered many demonic beasts. He killed those not in the Spirit Devour Realm with his dragon power. The dragon power had the Dragon’s Will. It was the Will of the Lord of a Million’s Will. It had absolute repression over these demonic beasts.
Ye Mo also saw a corpse. It was the body of a Beast Palace disciple. He didn’t pay attention to it. In this world, the strong are respected, the winner is the king. Those who could remain are naturally capable.
Suddenly, Ye Mo heard battle sounds in the distance and a woman’s voice. He transported over, hiding behind a huge black tree, watching what was happening.
“You’re the sister of Human Dao Palace’s Nangong Qingxue right?” The voice that spoke was familiar to Ye Mo. It was Cang Long, the man who attacked him in the square with a spirit attack. “Only in the early Energy Burst Realm and you dare participate in the trials. Give me the Desolate Ancient Pearl in your hand, or I’ll destroy you.”
After he finished talking, Cang Long covered his hands with diamonds. He didn’t need a Spirit Weapon, his fists were more powerful. He punched, and a powerful gas cannon appeared, attacking Nangong Yurou.
Om om!
Nangong Yurou’s hands struck the Guqin suspended in mid-air, and a huge Sound Wave Fist headed towards Cang Long.
Boom!
The two collided. The impact shook all the trees, sending Flame Leaves floating to the ground. Nangong Yurou took a few steps back from the impact. Standing behind Cang Long were two more people. Both were male, and experts in the Spirit Devour Realm. They grinned maliciously at Nangong Yurou.
“How dare you. I’m Nangong Clan’s second young lady. You dare steal my Desolate Ancient Pearl?” Nangong Yurou saw that she had lost, so she tried to use her clan name to scare them. Nangong Clan, the invincible Nangong, is the city lord of the Desolate City. Even at the Door of Desolation, some elder disciples would give Nangong Clan some preferential treatment.
“This little girl probably used her clan name to enter the Door of Desolation. She probably hasn’t even comprehended the Will of Heaven. If others want to kill her here, even her clan name would be of no use.” Ye Mo felt Nangong Yurou was being ridiculous.
