Chapter 491: The Strongest Newcomer
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone looked on the shadow that appeared out of nowhere in disbelief. They couldn’t believe that Ye Mo swooped in and stolen the prize.
“Ye Mo, put down those Desolate Ancient Pearls, you can’t just take them,” Mu Lin, the strongest newcomer of the Human Dao Palace said in anger as he stared at Ye Mo.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Some of the Human Dao Palace disciples had already lost their bearings, while others had already started to psych themselves up for battle. There were plenty of Tian Yimen’s underlings among them. Having foiled their plan previously, they intended to kill Ye Mo and get rid of him for good.
“This Ye Mo is too bold for his own good.” One of the disciples was furious. “The strongest newcomers among the Five Dao Palaces were in the middle of a battle, and he had the guts to swoop in and steal more than 100 of those Desolate Ancient Pearls while they fought for them.”
The other four newcomers, the strongest in their respective Dao Palaces, also stared at Ye Mo malevolently.
“What do you mean by that?” Ye Mo asked. “Aren’t we all fighting for the Desolate Ancient Pearls? It’s just that I got my timing right and managed to actually get them.”
Standing afar, Ye Mo gathered all of the Desolate Ancient Pearls together and placed them in a bag before putting the bag aside. “I know that most of you must be feeling indignant about this. No problem. Whoever has something against me can come forward and snatch the pearls away.”
“Ye Mo, I’m sure you still remember me.” Jian Kuang slowly walked out from the crowd, face frosty. In his hand, he held the Dragon Spirit Spear that cost him 80,000 credit points to attain. He said, “Hand over the Desolate Ancient Pearls, including what you’ve collected yourself.”
“And you are…?” Ye Mo tried his best to recall who the man was but to no avail. But after noticing the Dragon Spirit Spear in his hand, he remembered. “If not for that weapon in your hand, I really wouldn’t have guessed who you were. Who would’ve thought that you’d be able to advance to the initial stage of the Spirit Devour Realm? You really think, with your strength, you’ll be able to take my Desolate Ancient Pearls from me?”
“Hahaha!” A burst of laughter came from the crowd.
“Since we’ve never been formally introduced, I still don’t know your name.” Ye Mo really couldn’t remember this guy’s name. The only thing he remembered was that they had competed in the Spirit Treasure hall before. “Care to jog my memory?”
“Forget it,” Jian Kuang fumed. His whole body seemed like it was about to erupt in flames. “You’re a dead man anyway. I suggest that you give me all of the Desolate Ancient Pearls you have. Otherwise, I’ll have no other choice but to kill you.”
“You want to kill me?” Ye Mo asked coldly. “You’re not the first person to try.” Taking a step forward, the silhouette of the Asura Deity appeared behind his back. It was the Asura Dao Will that he had discovered for himself.
With his body like a bow and his palm like an arrow, his whole body shot out. Before anyone could truly react, his palm struck Jian Kuang’s body.
Poof!
One moment he was threatening to take Ye Mo’s life, and the next, his whole body went flying and landed heavily on the ground like a pile of wet soil.
“What? He actually killed Jian Kuang!”
“How is this possible? To be able to kill Jian Kuang, a fighter in the initial stage of the Spirit Devour Realm – how strong is he?”
“He’s in over his head. The Heaven Dao Palace can’t let him get away with this.”
It wasn’t just the disciples of the Heaven Dao Palace – even disciples of the other palaces were shocked at the sight of Jian Kuai on the ground before them.
“Disciples of the Heaven Dao Palace, let’s attack together and kill this Ye Mo.” Tai Yan had the biggest reaction. One of his own men being killed on the spot was an embarrassment for him. Tensing his body, he unleashed the Power of the Taishan, almost bringing his aura up to the peak of the Spirit Devour Realm.
He sent a fist attack flying towards Ye Mo. “Taishan Press!”
This punch was earth-shattering, with explosions going off everywhere. Like a collapsing Taishan, he wanted to kill Ye Mo right then and there. By showing his strength, he would send a message to the strongest newcomers of the other four palaces: forget about getting those Desolate Ancient Pearls.
“Hmph!” Ye Mo let out an explosive roar, stabbing his Sky Blood Spear towards Tai Yan with deadly accuracy.
Tai Yan’s Taishan Press collided with Ye Mo’s Sky Blood Spear. The impact of the clash sent disciples nearby flying in all directions.
Boom!
Upon collision, a crack was formed at the top of the Taishan Press attack. Tai Yan coughed out a string of blood as he tumbled in the air, his previously dominant aura now nowhere to be seen or felt.
Ye Mo had already realized 15,000 rays of Caged Dragon Power and had perfected the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm. Adding a middle-tier treasure weapon to the mix, he was almost invincible.
No matter how strong Tai Yan was, he never stood a chance against Ye Mo.
“ThatYe Mo is ridiculously strong. Even Tai Yan couldn’t withstand a single attack! He’s invincible against anyone below the Transcendence Realm.”
Even the other four strongest newcomers were scared deep down their hearts – the Ye Mo before their very eyes could no longer be described as “perverted” in terms of his ridiculous show of strength. Even a generational talent like Tai Yan couldn’t defeat him.
“Disciples of the Asura Dao Palace are all crazy. Even if all four of us fight him together, we still might not be able to defeat him.”
“Currently, Ye Mo can’t be contained without strength in the Transcendence Realm. Looks like the Desolate Ancient Pearls will all be his. He’ll definitely finish as the champion for these trials. If he gets picked by the elders of the Inner Peak to become their disciple, there’s no telling what he’ll be able to do.”
Everyone started to discuss intensely – some in fear, some in anger, others with the intention of networking connections with him. As of now, they no longer had any thought of stealing the Desolate Ancient Pearls. Here, Ye Mo was godlike, the strongest presence among all of them.
“Everyone, I didn’t intend to kill anyone today,” Ye Mo said. “All these Desolate Ancient Pearls are mine. If there’s still anyone who has yet to receive a pearl, they can come to me and take one.”
All the weak disciples who hadn’t been able to get a pearl perked up. They scurried over and received their one Desolate Ancient Pearl from Ye Mo.
The battle before the activation of the Six Light Formation ended just like tha., No one dared to show any animosity toward Ye Mo.
“Hmph, imagine the likes of all of you thinking that you can steal my man’s Desolate Ancient Pearls.” Nangong Yurou smiled contentedly as she watched on from one side.
Just as Ye Mo was distributing some of the Desolate Ancient Pearls to the other disciples, the Six Light Formation finally activated. All of the newcomers flew out, each landing in the arena outside.
As for Xiao Yue, she flew out and left the arena when no one was looking.
This Desolate Ancient World trail saw the death of over half of the Human Dao Palace’s disciples. Among the dead, Du Long was the strongest fighter. The other four palaces sustained significant loses as well.
Outside of the arena.
When Miao Miao saw Ye Mo emerge from the Six Light Formation, her eyes sparkled. She said, “Mao Mao, Sister, Ye Mo is out.”
Seeing Ye Mo and Nangong Yurou’s arrival, Nangong Qingxue finally let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Langya’s face was grave when he saw Ye Mo appear. But he assumed that Ye Mo would not have been able to attain too many of the Desolate Ancient Pearls alone.
“Hahaha.” Miao Miao rushed over and embraced Ye Mo. She laughed loudly. “Junior, based on the looks of it, you must have a pretty handsome return. You’ve even managed to advance to the advanced stage of the Heaven’s Strength Realm.”
“Who are you? Let go of him,” Nangong Yurou glared at Miao Miao.
“You’re the Second Lady of the Nangong Family?” Miao Miao asked defiantly. “What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with me hugging my junior?”
