Chapter 569: Fighting For A Spot
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Lingwu Continent had five zones; the Zone of Desolation, the Zone of Demon, the Zone of Chaos, the Zone of Seals, and the Zone of Lingwu.
The Zone of Desolation was the weakest.
In general, exchanges between the five Zones were rare. Of course, there were some large-scale trade exchanges. The five Zones all had their own rich resources, so, naturally, they would find ways to sell them to other Zones at higher prices.
“That’s right,” Nangong Wudi said. “And, right now, all the major powers within the Zone of Desolation are forming a group of traveling merchants to head to the Zone of Seals to buy some rank four Seals. If you really need it, I can ask Wu Shang to keep an eye out for you.”
“What? You’re going to the Zone of Seals?” Ye Mo’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest.
“Yes,” Nangong Wudi said lightly. “It’s a group of traveling merchants consisting of our four big clans, Nangong, Shangguan, Dongfang, and Wenren. It’s been approved by the Desolate Mountain’s Elder.”
“Father…Father-in-law, can you take me with you?”
Going to the Zone of Seals was a good opportunity for him to break through to the Transcendence Realm. Now that his four Heart-stones were ready, he wouldn’t be able to break through to the Transcendence Realm in the Zone of Desolation, because the beating frequency of the Caged Dragon Power far surpassed the revolving frequency of this land’s heaven and earth. Therefore, he had to leave the Zone of Desolation. Going to the Zone of Seals was the best choice.
He could buy a Spirit Seedto resurrect Ling’er and break through to the Transcendence Realm.
“I can’t do that,” Nangong Wudi said. “Going to the Zone of Seals is a big deal. This time, the group of traveling merchants is made up of the four big clans. Even I don’t have much say in this.”
“Is there no other way?” Ye Mo asked.
“For the merchant houses, this time, the four clans will send an elite and a supervisor,” Nangong Wudi said thoughtfully. “Therefore, the elites they send would, naturally, have a certain level of strength. If your strength is stronger than the elite guard I recommended, then I can let you go in his place. After all, you’re my future son-in-law. But it will be a little difficult for you to defeat him.”
“Oh? What’s his strength?” Ye Mo was a little curious about the elite guard Nangong Wudi had mentioned.
Clap! Clap!
Nangong Wudi clapped his hands. A man walked slowly into the hall. Looking at the figure, Ye Mo’s pupils shrunk slightly.
“Sixth Brother?” Ye Mo exclaimed in surprise.
The person was Ye Mo’s Sixth Brother from the Asura Palace, with strength in the Transcendence Third Realm.
“Brother Ye Mo, I can’t believe you won the favor of the second young lady,” Sixth Brother said lightly. “I was an orphan taken in by the Castellan. I’ve been cultivating behind closed doors at the Door of Desolation. I only found out you
re the second young lady’s husband after I returned to the Castellan Estate.”
“Sixth Brother, make your move!” Ye Mo said without care.
“Make my move?” Sixth Brother was very confused.
“Ye Mo also wants to go to the Zone of Seals, so you have to have a spar with him,” Nangong Wudi explained. “If he defeats you, then I’ll let him go to the Zone of Seals in your place.”
Hearing Ye Mo’s tone, Nangong Wiudi knew that Ye Mo wanted to go to the Zone of Seals. But going to the Zone of Seals was a big deal. Even if he allowed Ye Mo to go, it would be impossible to reason with the other three clans. Ye Mo had to prove his strength.
“Brother Ye Mo, since you want to go, I’ll let you take my spot,” Sixth Brother said with a smile.
“Brother, you have to give your all when you fight me, otherwise even if you let me go, my father-in-law might still not agree.” Ye Mo smiled faintly.
Although Sixth Brother was in the Transcendence Third Realm, he was a genius and had the ability to challenge those with strength a few levels above. His strength may not be weaker than Li Tianqiong.
“That’s correct.” Nangong Wudi nodded. “Going to the Zone of Seals means representing the Nangong Clan. If you’re not strong enough, you’ll be ridiculed by the other three clans.”
Both men went to the square and stood there, looking at each other.
“Ye Mo, judging from your attitude, you must be extremely confident about defeating me,” Sixth Brother said. “You were able to place fourth on the personal rankings in the Six Dao Tournament, so I figure you can challenge those a few levels above you. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to get so many points. But you shouldn’t underestimate me either.”
“Sixth Brother, to tell you the truth, I’ve already defeated a martial artist in the Transcendence Third Realm,” Ye Mo said. “But I also know that you, Brother, are not an ordinary Transcendence Third Realm martial artist. So, I also want to see who is stronger between the two of us.”
“I’ll do my best,” Sixth Brother said seriously. He would show no mercy, nor hold back his strength, as it would be an insult to Ye Mo. Also, he wasn’t so confident that he would be able to defeat Ye Mo.
“Then please!” Ye Mo stretched out his palm and made an inviting gesture.
Boom!
Majestic power broke out from Sixth Brother’s body. He released his Transcendence Golden Body, first thing, and a Giant Ice-Blue Elephant descended. Sixth Brother cultivated the ice-based martial arts, so the Transcendence Golden Body he cultivated was naturally ice-based.
As soon as his Transcendence Golden Body appeared, the ground of the square began to condense a thick layer of blue ice. The temperature of the whole area suddenly dropped.
“Transcendence Imposing Might, Ice Elephant Heaven Seal!” Sixth Brother roared.
The several-meters-long, ice-blue trunk sucked the air, as countless cold Qi, like an angry dragon going out to sea, formed a huge, cold whirlpool. Dragon and Elephant roared as the attack rolled fiercely toward Ye Mo.
Such a terrifying cold Qi was enough to freeze anyone and turn them into an ice sculpture.
Before the cold came, Ye Mo felt a shocking chill. That was the power of Transcendence. Every Transcendence Golden Body had its own power, and their power was very strong.
“Zhu Immortal Magical Formation!”
Ye Mo didn’t preserve his strength, he began turning the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation immediately. The Zhu Immortal Magical Formation spread out in an instant, and the streams of Zhu Immortal Runes struck out from Ye Mo’s body, forming an indestructible Rune Barrier. Every stream of Runes contained the Immortal’s Will.
But a shocking scene appeared. The cold Qi swept forward and froze the entire Zhu Immortal Magical Formation. A thick layer of ice condensed above the Rune Barrier.
“Not bad kid. I can’t believe you have such a method!” Sixth Brother laughed.
The Giant Ice-Blue Elephant fiercely rushed forward, and the layer of ice began to crack. The front hooves of the elephant suddenly lifted off the ground as it attacked toward the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation like the suppression of Mount Tai.
Boom!
With one strike, the layer of ice that covered the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation turned into powder. Traces of cracks even appeared on the black Rune Barrier.
“Sixth Brother, you won’t be able to break through my defense,” Ye Mo said. “ow that you’ve made a move, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
He unsheathed the Sky Blood Spear, stabbed once and the attack traveled out like a dragon crossing a river. The sharp Spearlight passed in a flash, and he displayed the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation at the same time, merging with the Immortal’s Will. The Spearlight bombarded onto Sixth Brother’s Transcendence Golden Body and dense cracks appeared.
Ye Mo went all out in this battle, showing his strongest moves.
Boom!
The giant elephant burst in an instant and turned into pieces of ice. A powerful force shook the ground and shattered all the ice on it.
Under such an attack, Sixth Brother’s body shot backward.
Xiu!
Ye Mo leaped forward, one hand grabbed onto Sixth Brother. A gentle force held onto him, allowing him to land smoothly and steadily.
