Chapter 431 - Mysterious Soul

Chapter 431: Mysterious Soul
Xu Fu had never expected Ye Mo to accept his bet. He had also never expected Ye Mo to demand 10 Spirit Weapons as the bet. One should know that 10 Spirit Weapons were not something a regular organization could easily provide.

What? Ten Spirit Weapons?
Xu Fu cried out in astonishment. Ye Mo was making an excessive demand.
Ye Mo said,
Ten Spirit Weapons in exchange for a chance at the path to greatness. Of course, this price would not be worth it for a regular warrior. But for a genius, this price is definitely worth it.

He meant that if Xu Fu believed his son was incapable of entering the Door of Desolation, this price would not be worth it but if his son was truly capable of entering, never mind 10 Spirit Weapons, even 20 or 30 would be worth it.

Fine. Ten it is!
Xu Fu agreed.



With that, I would like to invite the emperor to be the witness. If I prevail over Xu Wuji, Lord Xu Fu will have to give me 10 Spirit Weapons. If I lose, I will hand over the Luosha Token,
said Ye Mo righteously.

Evil Sp-Ye Mo, you…

Ye Mo’s action was very shocking to the emperor. Xu Wuji was a late-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm. No matter how powerful Ye Mo was, he was still a mid-stage True Energy Realm and would not be able to defeat Xu Wuji.

I know what I’m doing, emperor,
said Ye Mo before fixing his gaze at Xu Fu unrelentingly.

To avoid having you reneging on the bet, how about we both pass on the token and Spirit Weapons to the emperor before the battle? The victorious party shall have it all,
Ye Mo proposed.

Ok. See you tomorrow at Asura Field. I will not publicize this match to outsiders,
said Xu Fu before saluting the emperor and leaving.
From the emperor’s attitude towards Xu Fu, Ye Mo could guess that this Xu Fu enjoyed a great reputation in the Luosha Kingdom. Therefore, the best method to handle this was for him to defeat Xu Wuji. Moreover, 10 Spirit Weapons weren’t something anyone could easily get.
At present, the Sky Blood Spear had already absorbed two weapon spirits. He still needed 98 weapon spirits before the Sky Blood Spear could advance to mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon. The 10 weapon spirits he stood to gain here would be quite substantial.
Through Xu Wuji’s fight with Luo Hun, Ye Mo already knew his strength. Although Xu Wuji had been defeated by Luo Hun, his strength was still not what Ye Mo could hope to match. Never mind a late-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm, even a mid-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm would be a hard opponent for Ye Mo.
I will have to face Xu Wuji tomorrow. I won’t have time to rank up. Ye Mo knew that he had just reached mid-stage True Energy Realm. And with 20,000 streams of Bright Dragon Power awakened, he already reached some sort of bottleneck. Even if he unleashed the spirituality of the Sky Blood Spear and his exceptional spear technique with Realm of Death, he still had no confidence he could defeat a late-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm warrior. Since the fight was tomorrow, he had no time to train. Should he awaken more Bright Dragon Power?



Advancement should always be in accordance with a path. You can’t break through immediately,
said the Luosha Emperor after deep thought.
Ye Mo, in the Luosha Blood Pool, how much energy can you absorb in two hours?

Since Ye Mo was the reincarnation of the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, his soul belonged to the Luosha Spirit Clan. His absorption speed should be quite fast.
Ye Mo said,
I was afraid that if I absorbed without limit, I would dry out the source of the blood pool. Therefore, I was holding myself back and stopped after exhausting the energy of a single pool.


What? The energy of one pool? And you were holding back?
The Luosha Emperor was greatly shaken. Not even he could absorb all the energy of a pool in two hours. But the moment he thought of how Ye Mo was the reincarnation of the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, he calmed down and was even more assured of Ye Mo’s identity. So long as Ye Mo could recover his true strength, he would be able to lead him to greater glory.

That’s right.
Ye Mo nodded.

That makes things easier. The largest Luosha Blood Pool is located in the palace, more than double the size of the blood pools in the sub-palaces. Nobody is using the pool. If you can absorb all the energy there without damaging the source of the energy, you will be able to break through again,
said the emperor.

More than double the size of other pools?
Ye Mo was shocked. The energy of a single normal pool was already sufficient for him to awaken 11,000 streams of Bright Dragon Power. If he was allowed to absorb a pool more than double the size, his strength would increase sharply.

That’s right. Moreover, the blood pool within my palace is the preserved blood essence of our clansmen. The energy there is even purer,
said the Luosha Emperor solemnly.
As far as he was concerned, Ye Mo was the reincarnation of the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord and would be able to perfectly absorb the energy there to recover his power. He might even be able to advance beyond True Energy Realm.

Purer energy?
Ye Mo’s eyes were burning. Not many people would have the chance to enjoy this pool. Even he was only able to enjoy it due to the emperor’s misunderstanding. After confirming their plan, Luosha Emperor brought Ye Mo to the pool.


Looking at the massive pool, Ye Mo’s eyes burned with the urge to jump into the pool immediately.

Ye Mo, this is the blood pool. I shall serve as your guard,
said the Luosha Emperor before leaving and standing guard at the door. He crossed his arms, and as he tapped his fingers on his arm, a voice rang in his mind.

Why do you still fear him? He is presently powerless, and you already mastered the body possession technique of the Luosha Spirit Clan. If you possessed his body, you would be able to fully inherit the strength of the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord. You might even be able to surpass him.


No, the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord is the true lord. I shall never disobey him.


Luosha Emperor, I have been in your body for so long. I have long known your cultivation level and talent. It is impossible for you to advance beyond the Transcendence Realm. You should know that only after surpassing the Transcendence Realm will you obtain immortality.
The voice continued,
We share the same fate. I won’t suggest anything that will harm you. So long as you possess his body and fully inherit the power of the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, you will be able to break through and also repair my soul. At that time, with the two of us working together, we will be able to conquer the Zone of Desolation. Even the entire continent would be there for our plucking.


No, he will kill me.

What the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord was capable of had left an incredibly deep impression on the Luosha Emperor’s heart. The resoluteness and ruthlessness of the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord were still clear in his mind.

He is only a mid-stage True Energy Realm right now. Why do you still fear him? Perhaps he was indeed scary in the past. But that is all in the past. Don’t you want immortality? Why were the primordial cultivators so powerful? Why were the ancient races strong enough to dominate the continent? Because they had lived long enough,
said the voice.

But…
The Luosha Emperor was indeed tempted. Only by surpassing the Transcendence Realm would he possess a boundless life span. This was not something one could easily refuse.

There is no but. Let me give you help.
Then, the Luosha Emperor’s body shook before his eyes and started glowing with a blue radiance. A bizarre smile surfaced on his face as well.
