Chapter 530 Slab of Fortune
“Fortune is extremely mysterious,” Hong Ling explained calmly. “An ordinary person would have no means of absorbing it. So for now, this is the only option we have. The moment you fuse with the fortune of the Tianwu Kingdom you will represent the fortune of the Tianwu Kingdom.”
As it stood, that was their only option. If Ye Mo went out now, only death was waiting for him. Even one Transcendence Realm expert would be very difficult to fight. And when facing three working together, his only option was to flee.
Slowly, the place sank into silence. Qingyun Path had originally been a cultivation path walked by nobody with the surrounding areas of this path in extremely bad condition. But now, three Transcendence Realm experts had appeared here for the sake of destroying the Tianwu Kingdom’s Slab of Fortune.
Before long, Ye Mo saw the arms of the three Transcendence Realm experts started trembling. A massive undulation also started appearing on the Three Tai Unification Formation.
Cracks appeared one after another on the surface of the Slab of Fortune.
Ye Mo could even see the expressions on the three Transcendence Realm experts turning extremely sinister. Blood started bursting out of their arms to permeate into the Three Tai Unification Formation.
The entire formation went berserk while the Slab of Fortune started trembling madly. The bodies of the three Transcendence Realm experts started shaking as beads of sweat poured out of them. At the same time, their blood also flowed out incessantly, as if they were being pushed to their limits.
“Ye Mo, it looks like with the strength of those three fellows, it’ll be quite hard for them to completely destroy the Slab of Fortune,” Hong Ling said. “But that’s good. The instant the Slab of Fortune is destroyed will be your perfect opportunity.”
As the number of cracks on the surface of the slab increased, a golden radiance representing fortune leaked out of the slab without stop.
A dense kingly aura was contained within the fortune leaking out of the slab, and even a tiny bit of that aura was sufficient to completely destroy a Spirit Devour Realm expert. If an ordinary person was to breathe in even a tiny bit of it, their meridians would instantly rupture while their body exploded.
This was what fortune was, the fortune sheltering an entire kingdom. It wasn’t something that any warrior could endure.
The three Transcendence Realm experts held their breath. They feared that the fortune would get into their bodies as well. They each activated layers of energy barriers, preventing the fortune from getting near them.
The fortune leaking from the Slab of Fortune was, in fact, a form of natural law. Nobody could hope to go against natural law. That was why the aura was so powerful.
This was a power of nature, a power surpassing even the heavens, one that nobody could endure. But Ye Mo was the exception.
Within Ye Mo’s body, Caged Dragon Power coursed around non-stop. The Caged Dragon Power wasn’t the same as true energy, and it wasn’t Transcendence Power either. It was a new divine power created by the Dragon God’s Will by combining various different powers, the power of a god that surpassed even the power of natural law.
The fortune scattered all over Ye Mo. If it was anyone else, they would have to run as far away from it as they could. But Ye Mo absorbed everything into his body. He fused it with his body, causing his meridians, Energy Center, five viscera and six bowels to grow stronger once again.
The Rising Dragon Pillar started revolving. With each revolution, it absorbed fortune, gathering an incredibly mighty power within it.
As the fortune fused with Ye Mo’s body, within his Energy Center, roars of dragons started ringing out again. Once again, his body trembled as dragons broke free of the Rising Dragon Pillar, flew out, and started roaring without stop. When Ye Mo broke through to mid-stage Energy Burst Realm, he had already awakened many streams of Caged Dragon Power. But now, after absorbing the fortune scattered around him, he started awakening more.
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand. In a short while, Ye Mo had awakened 10,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power. At the same time, the Energy Core within his Energy Center grew stronger as well.
The 250,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power coursed through his body and started cleansing it, once again increasing his strength.
“Ye Mo’s cultivation is too terrifying,” Hong Ling couldn’t help but lament. “Not even the Sky Blood Lady is comparable to this speed. It’s only a matter of time before he surpasses the Sky Blood Lady. Moreover, he has the Dragon God’s Will within his body. His cultivation will be even stronger with the passage of time.”
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out. The Slab of Fortune was finally unable to resist the Three Tai Unification Formation and had exploded.
Ye Mo saw the explosion with his own eyes. Chunks of stone burst out from the slab, with each fragment containing the fortune of the Tianwu Kingdom. The entire area was filled with a bright golden radiance. The power leaking from the fortune in the air forced the three Transcendence Realm experts to activate their respective Transcendence Golden Bodies.
The three Transcendence Golden Bodies were all of humanoid form and looked incredibly imposing. Each of them was about 10 meters tall, signifying that they were at Transcendence First Realm. If they hadn’t released their Transcendence Golden Bodies, they would have been destroyed by the rush of power when the slab exploded.
But even after activating their massive Transcendence Golden Bodies, the Transcendence Golden Bodies were suppressed by the power of fortune to the point they couldn’t even move. In fact, cracks were already appearing on the surface of the three Transcendence Golden Bodies.
The destruction of the slab and the disappearance of Tianwu Kingdom’s fortune was one of their reasons here. But their other reason was to take the fragments of the slab away. They wouldn’t be able to make use of the fortune, but the mysterious leader of First Heaven Society could.
Seeing the chunks of fragments, Ye Mo’s eyes turned red. He had to get all of them, and couldn’t allow even one to go missing. Otherwise, the fortune of the Tianwu Kingdom would drop.
“Rising Dragon Pillar, absorb them all!” Ye Mo waved his hand and, like a dragon opening its jaws wide, he started absorbing all the chunks of the slab.
“Ye Mo, leave! Take all the fragments with you,” Hong Ling said. “To fully digest them all, you need a long time. The pressure on the three Transcendence Realm experts will reduce soon. They’ll come for you.”
Ye Mo couldn’t hesitate. After gathering all the chunks of stone, he once again blended into the bizarre energy in the surroundings before vanishing where he stood. Once again, he had concealed his body as he started fleeing.
“What happened? The fragments from Tianwu Kingdom’s Slab of Fortune have all vanished. Who has stolen the fragments?”
The three Transcendence Realm experts only realized that the fragments had all vanished after they sensed the pressure on them reducing. They raged.
Her, on this path, someone had dared to steal from the First Heaven Society? Those were the fragments from the Slab of Fortune that they had worked painstakingly to break.
The three Transcendence Realm experts were infuriated. Their anger raged like a volcano. They had worked so hard and had even risked their lives just to break the Slab of Fortune. But now the fruits of their hard work had been stolen.
They were already near 20 years old, near the age limit to enter this place. This mission was issued by the society master, and those below the Transcendence Realm would stand no chance of completing their mission. If they were able to complete the mission, they would receive ample rewards. But if they had only destroyed the fortune of Tianwu Kingdom without being able to return with the fragments of the Slab of Fortune, the society master would be infuriated.
“No matter who the thief is, I’ll kill them and turn their corpse to ash!”
