Chapter 521: Cao Zhengchun Shows Up
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Mo’er, don’t mind me,” Xuan Qiu said worriedly. “Leave now. These Imperial Guard Archers are too strong – they may not be able to hurt you, but they can hold you back. By the time Cao Zhengchun comes, you won’t be able to escape.”
“Auntie, I’m not the Mo’er you knew before,” Ye Mo said confidently. “Even if Cao Zhengchun shows up, there’s nothing he can do to me.”
Based on his current strength level, it was impossible for Cao Zhengchun to contain him.
Realizing the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation had allowed Ye Mo’s knowledge about strength and power to rise to another level.
“Mo’er.”
Seeing Ye Mo’s expression of confidence, Xuan Qiu couldn’t help but be confused for a moment, combining Ye Qing’s figure with Ye Mo’s – this was confidence personified.
“Auntie, let me help you up, don’t mind them.”
Facing thousands of archers, not only did Ye Mo not panic, he instead chose to help Xuan Qiu up to her feet. The sight caused many in the surroundings to drop their jaws to the ground – Ye Mo was insane.
“Shoot at him!”
The command echoed through the air, countless arrows shot out from all directions, attacking Ye Mo like a swarm of hornets. Every arrow carried air-piercing power, and all the arrows together seemingly formed a huge shadow.
“I’ll destroy all of you.”
Ye Mo sent out a punch that carried the Asura Power and unleashed the Realm of Death. The space around him started to twist, and, like a crazy beast opening its fearsome jaws, the arrows were completely devoured.
Ye Mo waved his arm again. From his body, ray after ray of Caged Dragon Power emerged and attacked in all directions. The area was turned into the dragon’s world, the dragon’s all.
The roar of the Caged Dragon erupted.
“Explode!”
Squeezing both of his hands, Ye Mo displayed the powers of the Explosive Energy Realm as all of the Cage Dragon Power exploded in an instant. Explosions occurred everywhere, all of the constructions around him collapsed instantly. As for the thousands of Imperial Guards Archers, their body parts were sent flying in all directions.
Those who were standing aside had retreated to hundreds of meters away. Watching what was going on, they were all completely stunned.
“Is this the strength that a fighter in the Explosive Energy Realm is supposed to be able to display?”
The number of Imperial Guards in the middle of the arena who were lucky enough to survive could be counted with both hands. They trembled in fear- this was more power than a man should be able to display.
“Hurry and retreat. Report to Leader Cao – only he will be able to suppress him,” one of the Imperial Guards screamed out.
The amount of power that Ye Mo was displaying was way too frightening. The thousands of Imperial Guard Archers who were meant to deal with Xuan Ji ended up pitted against someone even scarier than her. And that person was just a fighter in the Explosive Energy Realm.
“Thinking about escaping?” Ye Mo asked. “I’ve already said, none of you should even think about it.”
Looking at the Imperial Guards who were trying to escape, Ye Mo unleashed another spear attack. Some fighters from afar, without even getting the chance to blink, saw those Imperial Guards who were trying to escape being completely split into half.
“Auntie, how are you doing now?” Ye Mo asked her in a caring tone after all of the Imperial Guards were cleared out.
“Tang Hao has crippled my legs, and sealed my Energy Center,” Xuan Qiu said gently.
Despite having all of her powers taken away, seeing the extent of Ye Mo’s growth filled her with happiness. But now, Ye Mo was set to be on the receiving end of Cao Zhengchun’s fury – the fury of a Transcendence Realm fighter.
“Hmph, all of this must be Cao Zhengchun’s doing. I’ll end his life sooner or later,” Ye Mo said as he waved one hand across Xuan Qiu’s legs, using the Light of Glorious Sun to heal her legs.
With minimal fuss, Xuan Qiu’s legs were completely healed. That done, Ye Mo displayed his Rising Dragon Pillars, taking the seal off of her Energy Center
“Auntie, how are you feeling now?” Ye Mo asked.
“You actually managed to absorb the seal. That’s incredible.” Xuan Qiu closed her eyes and took a look inside her body, feeling that the seal placed on her Energy Center was gone. She smiled.
“Auntie, where is Big Auntie and the rest of them?” Ye Mo asked. “Let’s meet up with them.”
Now, the most important thing was to meet up with the rest of them. With their help to increase his strength, only then would he have the strength to fight against the Emperor faction.
“They should be in the Qingyun League now,” Xuan Qiu said. “With even the transportation formation connecting to the Qingyun League taken away, let’s fly across the seas and go there directly.”
“Alright, let us go!” Without hesitation, Ye Mo expanded his Caged Dragon Wings and flew into the afar. Xuan Qiu expanded a pair of black wings and followed suit.
“Thinking about escaping after killing my Imperial Guards? Not so easy.”
Just as Ye Mo was about to take flight, a gigantic treasure tower descended from the skies. The treasure tower had nine floors and looked extremely majestic. The huge amount of aura that was being unleashed from above was capable of suppressing elite fighters.
As the voice was heard, Xuan Qiu’s expression changed dramatically. As the Luosha King, she had had multiple exchanges with members of the Emperor faction. This Emperor Holy Tower was a top-tier spirit weapon, and even carried a hint of the Emperor’s Will.
“Capable of restraining everything?” Ye Mo asked. “More like capable of restraining kittens and puppies.”
Ye Mo knew that Cao Zhengchun had appeared. And he’d brought along Li Tianqiong’s Emperor Holy Tower. But under the pressure of the tower, Ye Mo remained unmoved. Looking up in the sky as the tower descended, Ye Mo sent out multiple spear attacks. Thousands and millions of spear attacks were unleashed upon the tower.
“Against the Emperor Holy Tower, any attempt at resistance is futile.” Cao Zhengchun let out a cold grunt as he said, “Who would’ve thought that you could be where are you today. But it doesn’t matter – you’ll never reach the heights of success that people like me are born to achieve.”
Boom.
The Emperor Holy Tower started to spin wildly. With the extremely heavy tower body carrying the will of the Emperor, it repelled all of Ye Mo’s spear strikes.
Ye Mo’s every spear attack was capable of instantly killing a fighter in the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm. But against the Holy Emperor Tower’s pressurizing force, they were completely useless. Ye Mo watched each spear strike get dispelled, one by one.
In an instant, the Emperor Holy Tower expanded again, reaching dozens of meters tall as it pressed down on Ye Mo.
Ring!
The dominating sound of the bell clock caused the air above the arena to tremble. Xuan Qiu couldn’t even stay near the Emperor Holy Tower as she was sent flying outwards. Ye Mo was completely held down. A moment of silence followed.
Ye Mo, who was here to interrupt the execution, was pinned down by the Emperor Holy Tower.
“Ye Mo, you have no chance of escaping,” Cao Zhengchun said. “I’d intended to use the Emperor Holy Tower against Xuan Ji. Who would’ve thought that you would return to the Tianwu Kingdom before she arrived?”
Cao Zhengchun finally showed himself, slowly landing on the arena. With the Emperor Holy Tower pressing down on Ye Mo, he’d assumed that Ye Mo was definitely dead.
But just as he spoke, there was a huge explosion within the Emperor Holy Tower. Cracks formed on the walls of the tower, and, in an instant, the tower completely exploded. Ye Mo leaped out from the cracks of the tower, landing in front of Cao Zhengchun.
“You won’t be able to contain me even with the Emperor Holy Tower,” Ye Mo said. “That’ll only serve as food for the Sky Blood Spear. Now, it’s time for payback.”
With Cao Zhengchun’s appearance, Ye Mo knew that this was a battle that could not be avoided. By killing him and his sister, Cao Wangji, the Emperor faction would be completely demolished. Even Li Tianqiong wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
