Bloody Dragon Swordsman
Episode 82's. The Fourth Realm that Cultivates the Spirit
The Evil Mering Realm was the first will to be mastered by the Sky Blood Lady. It allowed Ye Mo to insert Evil Energy into the Formation Destruction Spear. The will of the Heavenly Blood Spear not only increased the damage result of the spear but also allowed the user to influence the mind of their opponent with Evil Energy.
Man Hu could hear shouts coming from the spear as a devastating scene appeared in front of him.
It was a beautiful woman who wore silver armor and was armed with a long spear. His body was covered in fresh blood as he stood in a living hell. Suddenly, the woman swung the spear and aimed at Man Hu. A few inches before the spear reached it, the woman disappeared and was replaced by Ye Mo instead.
Man Hu quickly realized what was happening and stretched out his palm and shot out a stone-like energy towards Ye Mo.
The spear pierced through the huge rock, and everything lit up around them. Cracks begin to form on the rock.
“Energy Formation!”
The stone was formed using pure energy, and it shocked Ye Mo. He began to wonder if Man Hu had reached the Energy Forming Realm and quickly shook his head. If Man Hu really was an Energy Shaping Realm martial artist, Ye Mo would never be able to survive.
When the energy in the center of Energy becomes solid, it will turn into a liquid form and store itself in it. When a martial artist reached the Energy Shaping Realm, they could form energy into anything they wanted, and it also increased their attacks. Even the 50 Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artists were no match for an Energy Shaping First Realm martial artist.
"He hasn't been at the Energy Formation Realm yet, but he's already halfway through," Ling'er said.
"You're really strong, Ye Mo. Perhaps the reason I have still not advanced to the Energy Forming Realm is because I have yet to find a formidable opponent. I will kill you today and use the opportunity to break through!” Man Hu laughed and disappeared from in front of Ye Mo. He reappeared behind Ye Mo and threw his fist forward.
"You're fast!" Ye Mo shouted. Man Hu was still at least several tens of feet away, but he closed the distance in an instant. It was then that Ye Mo realized how powerful a Half-Energy Shaping Realm martial artist was.
Ye Mo did not hesitate as he pulled his spear towards his chest to block the attack.
The Spear Trunk Breaking Formation was bent due to the impact, and Ye Mo was thrown several feet back. He rolled a few times before he steadied himself and stood back up. The strength of a Half-Energy Shaping Realm martial artist was not something that Ye Mo could block with mere strength.
“You are too weak! You won't be able to kill me like that!" said Man Hu.
"But that doesn't tell me that you can also kill me easily!" Ye Mo laughed.
Ye Mo gripped the Formation Destruction Spear and attacked Man Hu. Although Man Hu's attack was stronger than Ye Mo's, Ye Mo was still protected by the Ranked One Dragon Blood under his skin. Unless his opponent was stronger than the Energy Shaping First Realm, they would not be able to cause any damage to Ye Mo.
"Impossible! Is he a monster? He had received several direct attacks from Man Hu, and he was still unharmed?”
“Maybe he has a treasure that blocks attacks?”
"Could be! Let's attack him together!"
The four remaining Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artists looked at Ye Mo greedily as they thought that Ye Mo was carrying some kind of treasure on him.
They kicked the ground and raised four huge energy palms. Man Hu also leaped upwards and pushed a huge energy palm towards Ye Mo.
The combined attacks of the five warriors, including one Half-Energy Shaping Realm warrior shook the forest and swept away the pebbles from the ground.
"My body is protected by the Blood Dragon Rank One, an attack like this will not be able to hurt me in the slightest!" Ye Mo roared and steadied himself. Five huge energy palms pressed down on Ye Mo, causing the ground to break and his shirt to erupt.
“That treasure is too strong! He can withstand our attacks directly!”
“Do not stop! If it was a Spiritual Weapon, then it required him to continue supplying his energy! If he stops, then his protection will be lost!”
The palms become larger and denser. The trees began to pluck their roots from the ground, and the wind began to blow. Ye Mo's body was pushed down bit by bit due to the pressure.
"Work!"
The Barbarian is wrong about one thing. Ye Mo was able to withstand the attack not because of the treasure, but because of the Dragon Blood. His body was sturdy enough to withstand the attacks from anyone weaker than the First Realm of the Energy Shapers.
It was the effect of the Blood Dragon Rank One, the bloodline of the Ancient Azure Dragon.
"The Dragon Pillar is Rising!" Ye Mo shouted, and a huge black hole appeared in his Energy Center. The five energy palms began to shrink as they were all absorbed into the Ye Mo Energy Center.
Fifty dragons emerged from the Rising Dragon Pillar as they opened their red eyes and roared. Ye Mo was now truly as strong as a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artist.
At the same time, the Five Elements Energy Core began to change as its energy became denser. Ye Mo had successfully advanced to the Fourth Realm of Spirit Cultivation.
That was the true power of the Rising Dragon Energy Pillar. The stronger the energy-infused attacks, the more beneficial they were in increasing Ye Mo's potential. The Rising Dragon Pillar could absorb any form of energy that came into contact with Ye Mo's body. Unless the attack was able to defeat Ye Mo in a single blow, they would all be the fuel for Ye Mo's growth.
The five warriors could feel their energies weakening as the palms shrank. They realized what was happening, but it was too late. Ye Mo had made a breakthrough, and he was at his best, or even stronger. Instead, the five Barbarian warriors were almost out of energy.
“Vibrating fear!” Ye Mo shouted, and he swung the Formation Destruction Spear. The spear was coated with Evil Energy the moment the Will of the Sky Blood Spear awoke. All the soldiers except Man Hu could not even react, and their heads fell from their necks.
The only restriction Ye Mo had was his own level because it determined the amount of Dragon Energy that every Mortal Gate could possess.
With his advancement to the Fourth Realm of Spirit Cultivation, each of his Mortal Gates could now control up to 10 Dragon Energies.
With 10 Dragon Energies for each of his five Mortal Gates, his strength was already stronger than the Ninth Realm of Spirit Cultivation.
Yet even though his strength and energy had increased, he still felt incompetent. He was still no match for anyone stronger than the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
Man Hu dodged the fatal attack, but the spear was impaled on his arm in the process. Ye Mo looked at the other four soldiers lying on the ground, and his eyes reddened in fear.
“A terrible child! He will be a threat to all of us if he keeps growing!” Man Hu said to himself and waved both of his hands. Energy began to gather around him until a huge energy giant formed behind him. On one of those giant hands was a Thunder War Axe shrouded in purple lightning.
“Barbar God Down! Feel the wrath of thunder!”
Man Hu continued to wave his hand as the giant raised the axe. The axe swung down forming an arc that split the clouds and headed towards Ye Mo. Man Hu had invested all his remaining energy into attacking, inflicting a calamity that shook the entire mountain with his thunderous roar.
“Twin Dragon Emerges from the Ocean! The will of the Heavenly Blood Spear!” Ye Mo closed his eyes and summoned the Evil Mering Realm and Twin Dragon Emerging from the Ocean. The two Spear Projections were formed from Evil Energy and combined into one powerful projection. Ye Mo opened his eyes and thrust his spear towards the incoming axe as two dragons circled his spear and roared.
The Formation Breaking Spear collided with the Thunder War Axe, causing a huge gust of wind from the impact. Purple dragons and lightning raged in the wind and merged into one Purple Lightning Dragon, illuminating the entire sky.
Ye Mo pulled back his spear and dashed towards the wind. Man Hu was sent flying from the impact while his hands were covered in blood themselves. Even the Barbarian God was unable to maintain its shape and disappeared. Ye Mo stopped in front of Man Hu and aimed his spear at Man Hu's head.
“This is the Descendant of the Barbarian God? It was so weak!” Ye Mo insulted.
Man Hu could sense Ye Mo's killing intent. He said in a trembling voice, “You can't kill me, I'm one of the little leaders. If you kill me, nothing good will come to you!”
"Yes right. You eight are here to investigate your young master's death and avenge him, aren't you? Even if I don't kill you, nothing good will come to me either!” Ye Mo thrust his spear forward and stabbed Man Hu in the head.
Ye Mo stared at Man Hu's body emotionlessly. Either they were the ones who were killed or Ye Mo was going to be killed.
Ye Mo noticed the five soldiers who had just died had bags hanging on each of their waists.
Most warriors would carry a bag with pills in it when they left.
Ye Mo took those bags and found several hundred Spirit Strengthening Pills inside. He even found two Energy Forming Pills in Man Hu's bag.
“Looks like I have found something good,” Ye Mo said and was about to leave when a strong wind hit him and threw him to the ground. Ye Mo's face darkened and he looked at the person responsible for the attack.
"How dare you kill our people!" It was not a person but an Energy Clone. Although it was formed by energy, it was still human-shaped, and judging from its expression, he was furious.
Only warriors who were stronger than the Eight Energy Formers Realm could create Energy Clones. It was a skill where users made exact copies of themselves using their own energy. Although the clones were weaker than their original bodies, they still had an numerical advantage against their enemies if they were in close combat.
“What kind of martial technique is this? He can even talk!” Ye Mo shouted in admiration.
“It was a technique that could only be used by warriors of the Eighth Realm of Energy Formers, Energy Clones,” explained Ling'er. “But I can feel that his real body is very far away. The clone weakens if it is further from the original, you don't have to worry about it. You might be able to take this opportunity and absorb it too!”
Clones can be absorbed by the Rising Dragon Pillar as it is made of pure energy. If the user was a True Energy Realm martial artist, it would be difficult to distinguish them by their appearance.
“I don't care where they come from. If they don't pay me, they'll die!” Ye Mo laughed.
“You brat! How dare you rob from us barbarians!” the clone shouted. “Are you from Limestone City? Is this the way Qin Hao taught his people? I will drop you here and hand over your head to Qin Hao when our main force arrives tomorrow! I will show the people in Limestone City the consequences of opposing us!”
The clone raised his hand, and a huge energy chain appeared in front of Ye Mo. The chain started wrapping itself around Ye Mo, completely subduing him in just a few seconds.
Telekinesis, a technique that could be mastered in the Third Realm Shaping Energy. Ye Kuang had used the same technique on Ye Mo when he killed the disciples of the Ye Clan in their Martial Pavilion.
“Do you think you can stop me with this? You think too much of yourself! ” Ye Mo shouted and started absorbing the chains with the Rising Dragon Pillar. In just a few seconds, the chain disappeared.
The clone was surprised to witness this and said, “What is that? Could it be the Energy Absorption Technique? ”
"You know too much, go!" Ye Mo prepared the Formation Destruction Spear and attacked.
No one would believe that a Fourth Realm Spirit Cultivating child would dare to attack the warrior clones of the Ninth Realm Energy Formers. The clone was startled by Ye Mo's actions even if his clone was only as strong as the First Realm of Forming Energy.
“You really have sense! What's your name? As the Barbarian chieftain, I, Man Weiwu, only fight with people I know!” clone words.
“My name is Ye Mo!”
