Chapter 556: Showing This Face First
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was a massive demon with green covering its face. It had a massive body shaped like a meatball.
The moment Ye Mo entered the mountain range, the demon spotted him. The demon was the king of that mountain range, and anyone who dared to trespass onto its territory would not be forgiven.
It stretched its body wide, reaching a length of more than 10 meters. With a single step, the entire mountain range started shaking. Its chubby fists glowed with a green radiance.
“Ye Mo, that’s the Eyeball Demon.” Hong Ling said. “Its strength is around the Transcendence Second Realm. Killing it will give you four points.”
“It’s a free four points,” Ye Mo said. “I might as well get it.”
When Ye Mo’s gaze landed on the Eyeball Demon below him his lips curled up into a smile.
The moment he thought of how Liu Qingyun and the others could kill a Transcendence Six Realm demon casually to easily get 64 points, he felt disgruntled. That was a difference from the difference in their strengths.
He had to put forth much more work to kill 16 demons when others could easily kill one demon to get the same 64 points.
“Green Demon Eye Beam!”
An ancient Purgatory language rang out from the Eyeball Demon’s mouth. Ye Mo didn’t know what the demon was talking about, but from what was happening, it was clear this would be a rather powerful martial technique.
As the demon spoke, the many eyes on its head started glowing green. The green radiance pierced the air, while the sinister wind around Ye Mo grew chaotic.
Ye Mo didn’t bother wasting any time observing the martial technique. He quickly stabbed with his spear.
Realm of Death!
Since the tip of the Sky Blood Spear had fused with the Blood Saber Energy, it shone with a crimson luster that represented sharpness and violence. The Realm of Death spread forward with the whines of death ringing in the air, a painting of death appeared with the Eyeball Demon at the center of it. It was a painting of demons slaughtering each other, and as the entire painting shrunk into the Sky Blood Spear, the green rays all shattered. Space twisted at the might of the attack that wasn’t something a Transcendence Second Realm demon could defend against.
The massive Eyeball Demon exploded and died.
“That’s it?”
After killing the Transcendence Second Realm Eyeball Demon with a single hit, Ye Mo saw a massive demonic core fly out before speeding off into the distant.
Swish!
From Ye Mo’s chest, a golden radiance shone brightly as Xiao Jing flew out at a speed so fast even Ye Mo was astonished. With a single bite, Xiao Jing swallowed the massive demonic core.
“What?!” Ye Mo was in shock and didn’t know what to say. This was the first time Xiao Jing had taken the initiative to come out and hunt for food.
“That’s the Crystal Core of the demo,” Hong Ling said. “After eating it, Xiao Jing will be able to grow stronger. Contained within the demonic core is the spirit of the demon. If it was allowed to escape, the spirit would be able to latch onto a new body and resurrect itself. But after being eaten by Xiao Jing, it no longer has a chance at resurrection.”
After Xiao Jing was done feasting on the demonic core of the Eyeball Demon, he howled a few times in satisfaction before flying back into Ye Mo’s chest.
“Looks like even if I don’t get a top ranking, I’ll still be able to help Xiao Jing reach the Transcendence Realm here,” Ye Mo muttered. “This will be a decent harvest, too.”
In Xiao Jing’s previous life, he was the mount of a god. If he could restore his strength to the Transcendence Realm, he would be incredibly powerful.
“Four points!” Looking at the four written on the token on his palm, Ye Mo smiled.
Only then did Ye Mo scan his surroundings to discover that there were still quite a lot of Transcendence First Realm demons in the mountain range. There were also Spirit Devour Realm, too. They were all Eyeball Demons, the Eyeball Demon Ye Mo killed earlier was their king.
There were over 100 Eyeball Demons there.
When they saw Ye Mo kill their king, they fled in disorder and panic.
After killing all those Eyeball Demons, Ye Mo would be able to get at least 200 points. He couldn’t give up on these points. He activated his Zhu Immortal Magical Formation and enveloped the entire mountain range. With the barrier formed of seals, all the escape routes were blocked. And the Immortal’s Will descending from the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation transformed into a cloud of swords that danced through the air like scattering petals and rained down upon the world below. In the blink of an eye, all of the Eyeball Demons were killed by the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation.
More than 100 Crystal Core flying in the air. Once again, Xiao Jing flew out, but he was only able to eat half the cores. The other half were able to flee.
In a short while, 178 was written on the token on Ye Mo’s palm.
“178 points, but probably not as much as what those fellows can get after killing a couple of Transcendence Sixth Realm demons.”
Ye Mo wasn’t too satisfied with the points he was getting.
But, unknown to him, at the peak of the Desolate Mountain, his actions had caused an uproar. On the ranking hanging at the Taotie beast’s mouth, numerous names went up and down at all times. Even the points of those at the top were moving at a rapid speed.
Thus, the disciples from the outer peak, those who were not participating, the palace masters of the six palaces, and Elder Taotie were able to see clearly the status of the tournament.
On the individual ranking.
First place: Ye Mo, at 178 points!
Second place: Liu Qingyun, at 150 points!
Third place: Mu Sang, at 132 points!
And on the team ranking, Asura Palace was leading with 812 points.
Soon after, the rankings were updated. Liu Qingyun took first place with 220 points while Mu Sang took second place with 191 points. Ye Mo had dropped to fourth place.
In the team ranking, the Asura Palace was surpassed by the Human Dao Palace.
When the rankings were first updated, Ye Mo had appeared before everyone holding first place.
That shocked everyone. Never before had a new disciple placed first in the history of Six Dao Tournament.
“178 points? How did Ye Mo accomplish that?”
Nangong Qingxue and Nangong Yurou were watching this unfold with deep shock. It had only been a few minutes since they entered but Ye Mo had already obtained 178 points. That was too unbelievable.
“That new disciple is too powerful. During the first update, he was in first place.”
“That Ye Mo is interesting. Perhaps he encountered some injured high leveled demons to gain so many points. But he didn’t last long up there.”
The palace masters were filled with shock and doubt as well.
Ye Mo was completely unaware of all that. He was also unaware of the points the other disciples had. As far as he was concerned, the eldest senior brothers of the various palaces must have accumulated thousands of points by now.
But, unknown to Ye Mo, the stronger a demon was, the more arrogant the demon would be. Therefore, they would mostly stay alone, unlike the situation Ye Mo had encountered were a bunch of demons lived together.
And Ye Mo was also capable of eliminating a group of enemies at an extremely high speed. If this was any other Transcendence Realm expert, they wouldn’t have been able to do what Ye Mo did: killing over 100 demons in the span of a few breaths.
After that, Ye Mo wasn’t as lucky. After flying for more than 10 minutes, he hadn’t encountered any other demons. He grew increasingly anxious.
He had to place in the top seven, no matter the cost.
Outside, the rankings were being updated continuously. Liu Qingyun and Mu Sang were replacing each other in the first and second places without stopping. The third till the tenth place were occupied by the eldest senior disciples of the six palaces and Taiyi Qinglian.
Ye Mo wasn’t even in the top 100.
