Chapter 602: Generational Talent
At the Southern end of the Seal City, the competition was in full swing. Carrying the Transcendence Giant Blade, Ding Badao charged at Ye Mo with murderous intent. But, each time, Ye Mo was able to dodge his attacks with relative ease. His opponent couldn’t even touch him.
Some of the weaker fighters had their interests piqued by the battle between the two of them. On the surface, it seemed as if the two were evenly matched.
But higher caliber fighters understood that Ye Mo was in a passive, defensive mode, rarely initiating any attack against Ding Badao.
“What’s gonna happen now?” Xia Shiyun, watching on, was filled with anxiety, “Father, why isn’t Elder Fu Qian back yet?”
Xia Baozhu also frowned. “Perhaps Elder Ding has already placed the Sky Blood Web in the Youlan Sky Residence. Perhaps Fu Qian’s rescue mission has failed.”
“Ye Mo, do you still refuse to admit defeat?” Ding Badao asked as he continued his attacks. “My father has already said, if you don’t lose to me on this stage in an hour, he’ll kill all five of your friends.”
“Is that so?”
At this exact moment, Ye Mo’s original form had already rescued his five friends and was rushing towards the wormhole to the Zone of Desolation.
“Then you can go ahead and die.” Ye Mo let out a roar, and sent out a punch against the oncoming blade attack, causing the Transcendence Giant Blade to shatter. Ye Mo’s fist landed on his opponent’s head, causing the brain to explode and a blood mist to scatter in all directions.
No one foresaw that sudden turn of events, and no one could properly react to it.
This was especially the case for Ding Laoguai. Watching on, he stood rooted to his ground, unable to come back to his senses, “What’s going on?”
“Ye Mo, damn you, you dare kill my son?” Ding Laoguai was enraged, his eyes turned red.
“Master Ding, the competition still has its rules,” the Western Door Leader said nonchalantly. “A death contract was signed by both parties, and the death of any fighter is up to fate.”
“That’s right, a death contract was signed for the competition. Ding Badao died because his skills were inadequate.”
“Haha, he won. Ye Mo won. I bet a thousand Transcendence Pills on him winning.”
“Haha, I had two thousand Transcendence Pills on him winning.”
Those who placed bets on Ye Mo winning erupted, with those who had stakes on Ding Badao had ash-gray expressions.
Ding Laoguai jumped onto the stage. “Good move, Ye Mo. Don’t you care about the life of your friends?” he asked viciously.
One of the guards who managed to escape ran over and shouted, “Master, master, bad news. Ye Mo rushed into our residence and rescued our five prisoners. He killed the Top Ten Clan elites, Master Shen and a huge majority of our elite guards.”
“What?” Ding Laoguai stared at Ye Mo, dumbfounded, before exclaiming, “You’re a clone?”
“Ding Laoguai, now that I’ve wiped out all your guards and killed Shen Canghai, now that the competition has been lost, one could say that, after today, the Youlan Sky Residence has been kicked out of the Southern Region’s Top Three Families.” Ye Mo said calmly, before walking toward Xia Shiyun, “Lady Xia, thank you for taking care of me over these past few days. Now that my original form has already returned to the spatial wormhole, as a form of repaying you, I shall gift this clone to you.”
The clone dissolved into energy and rushed into Xia Shiyun’s body. In an instant, Xia Shiyun could feel her aura boost in strength multiple times.
“Such great power, and such warmth – there’s not even the need for me to control anything.” Xia Shiyun was filled with delight, before being filled with disappointment.
“What is that? Five Transcendence Tribulation – don’t tell me Lady Xia is about to advance to the Fifth Tier of the Transcendence Realm? How is that possible? Just the power of a clone was enough for a fighter to immediately advance to the next level? Who exactly is that Ye Mo person?”
Everyone was in shock.
Witnessing the events unfolding, Ding Laoguai spat out a stream of fresh blood before collapsing to the ground like a handful of wet soil.
Heading towards the space wormhole of the Area of Desolation:
“Ye Mo, how are you feeling now?” Nangong Wushang asked.
“I’m alright now. Unleashing the Blood Prison exhausted all the energy in my body. Luckily, it was enough to hold off my opponent’s attack.”
Ye Mo knew that being able to withstand that attack from Ding Wanzhang was entirely due to the power of his blood – the greater the amount of blood, the greater its power. But due to the huge amount of energy that the Caged Dragon Powers had exhausted, had Ding Wanzhang unleashed another attack, he was definitely going to die.
Ye Mo sat down cross-legged and decided not to think further about what had happened to the Youlan Sky Residence – anyone could guess what had happened.
He knew that he would definitely return to the Zone of Seals. Not only had he yet to find a way to revive Ling’er, but there was also the evil version of Ling’er to deal with.
“Ye Mo, thank you for your assistance,” Dong Fangxu said. “I’m sorry for offending you before, please forgive me..”
Dong Fangxu held his hands together and gestured toward Ye Mo. He was referring to him using the Zhu Immortal True Word to test Ye Mo.
“Don’t mention it, Brother Dong Fang. We bond through competition.”
Since he had already shown a willingness to apologize, Ye Mo returned the favor. Furthermore, with them both being young masters of the four major families, which meant that they were set to become the masters of their respective family clans in the future, it was a good thing for him to establish friendly ties with them.
Wenren Yixiang suddenly stood up. “Ye Mo, I have decided.”
She pointed her delicate finger at Ye Mo as she said, “I, Wenren Yixiang, officially start my pursuit of you.”
“Lady Wenxiang, I’d rather you didn’t,” Ye Mo said politely. “I’ve heard that whoever you have your eyes on, you end up dumping. I don’t want to experience the feeling of being dumped.”
At the moment, Ye Mo already had complicated ties to plenty of women. He didn’t want to stir up any more trouble. Things like this depended on fate.
Sometimes, when fate arrives, people get together – if not, a couple wouldn’t be able to get together regardless of how hard they tried.
Afterward, they headed to the Zone of Seals, concluding this danger-filled experience. But none of them would forget what they had seen of Ye Mo any time soon.
With this trip to the Zone of Seals, Ye Mo had finally entered the Transcendence Realm. His battle strength would now allow him to defeat fighters in the Seventh Tier of the Transcendence Realm. Even Second Senior Taiyi Qinglian was no match for him.
He could now truly claim that he possessed the power to lead the Asura Dao Palace back to its lost glory.
“We’ve reached the Zone of Desolation!” Nangong Wushang said, interrupting their deep meditation. Everyone opened their eyes and jumped out of the wormhole.
“All of you are here so quickly?” Nangong Wudi hadn’t left. He’d stayed by the portal for seven days – he had plenty of time upon returning to the Zone of Desolation.
“Haha, City Master Nangong, you’ve got yourself a great son-in-law.” Dong Fanghong laughed. “You should arrange for the wedding quickly and let us enjoy a nice banquet.”
“That’s right.” Wenren Dashan smiled as he stroked his beard. “Well said, Brother Dongfang.”
“What do you two mean?” Nangong Wudi asked.
“Haha, Big Brother, Ye Mo advanced to the Transcendence Realm in the Zone of Seals, and wiped out dozens of fighters in the Sixth Tier of the Transcendence Ream, a Seventh Realm fighter and even withstood the attack of a Profound World Realm fighter all by himself,” Nangong Wushang said, smiling.
“A generational talent.” Nangong Wudi and his partner were completely shell-shocked. Such a battle performance was unprecedented.
