Strongest Abandoned Son Chapter 2251 - Demon Race Sain
Previously on Strongest Abandoned Son...
The dao actualisation divine emperors nearby cast envious glances upon seeing Ye Mo's remarkable generosity. Still, they realized a single cosmic dao pill was already a tremendous gift. Regardless of his lavish nature, Ye Mo had no intention of offering another.
Tang Congyin had mentioned it offhandedly, never dreaming Ye Mo would part with something as invaluable as a cosmic dao pill. With him handing it over so readily, guilt tugged at her heart, knowing the phoenix race couldn't fully back Ye Mo. Neutrality was their utmost limit.
“Pill divine Ye, if you hadn't arrived soon, I wouldn't have waited, but you made it just in time. Let's go together.” After receiving the dao pill, Tang Congyin became far more welcoming. She walked shoulder to shoulder with Ye Mo.
Ye Mo shifted slightly away and questioned, “Immortal Friend Tang, where are we headed?”
Tang Congyin smacked her forehead and replied, “What a forgetful me. The demon race holds no fondness for you, so they naturally skipped sending you an invitation. Here's the story: The demon race saint has ended her solitary cultivation and attained primordial essence. Representatives from other races sought her hand in marriage, yet all were turned away by the demon race. This invitation marks the celebration of the saint's primordial essence breakthrough, but it's also for selecting her dao partner.”
Ye Mo chuckled, “With the saint at primordial essence, mere dao essence divine emperors from other races won't make the cut.”
“The beast race's Zhuge Tianhua even forced his way to primordial essence just to wed her, but the demon race still refused him. Zhuge Tianhua holds the second spot on the divine rank and boasts incredible talent. Even the dragon race's dao essence divine emperor Ao Yue, ranked fifth on the divine rank, got rejected. Our phoenix race faced the same fate.” Tang Congyin clarified.
Ye Mo sighed, “I heard every race possesses only one or two primordial essence divine emperors. How did the demon race produce this saint? Has Zhuge Tianhua truly reached primordial essence too?”
Tang Congyin eyed Ye Mo and responded, “Before, no race could rival the human race in the number of primordial essence divine emperors. Though the Divine Dao Realm lies in ruins, human primordial essence divine emperors still exist—they simply choose not to appear. This time, four such powerhouses vanished while pursuing you. These races possess the ability to swiftly nurture another primordial essence divine emperor.”
Ye Mo was well aware of this truth. No super race in the void could rely on just a single primordial essence divine emperor. Should theirs fall, they held methods to raise a replacement with utmost speed.
Absent a primordial essence divine emperor, no race could ever rise to super status.
“The demon race spurned them after discovering a talent matching hers. This individual lacks any backing, making him open to joining the demon race. Despite losing Pu Yangsi, they retain Yi Yuanzhou. Now, they've gained two additional primordial essence divine emperors.” Tang Congyin sighed.
She continued, “Pill divine Ye, your dao wave feels utterly serene. You resemble an average immortal. I suspect you've grown even mightier? As a dao essence pill divine, proposing to the saint could actually succeed. That might resolve the feud between you and the demon race...”
Ye Mo smiled. “Some demon holds no appeal for me.”
Tang Congyin chuckled. “A demon race saint isn't always a demon. Rumors say she's from the human race.”
“A human race primordial essence divine emperor becoming the demon race saint?” Ye Mo asked, puzzled.
Tang Congyin explained, “This saint hails not from the Divine Dao Realm. She appears to originate from the immortal realm. Moreover, her primordial essence achievement owes nothing to the human race. Her talent is outrageous, yet without the demon race's total backing, she couldn't have reached primordial essence divine emperor. They even activated the great time formation for her.”
“Great Time Formation? Does it accelerate time?” Ye Mo instantly recalled his time formation disk. He still puzzled over its creator. Despite his command of time law, replicating such a time formation disk eluded him.
Tang Congyin affirmed with a nod. “Correct. Both demon and beast races possess it, but its resource drain is staggering. Time within multiplies by dozens of times, yet the god spirit ranges consumed are beyond measure. No ordinary cultivator could sustain it, and even a race might falter under the cost.”
Shock rippled through Ye Mo. He'd believed his time formation disk unique, yet the other two races owned them too. Theirs, however, differed from his.
His time formation disk demanded increasing spirit source as his power advanced, but not endless god spirit ranges. Clearly, his version surpassed theirs in quality.
Noticing Ye Mo's shock, Tang Congyin clarified, “Zhuge Tianhua adores the demon saint immensely, so he allied with various races and proposed that any race could court her via combat. The strongest victor would claim her as his dao partner.
Multiple races pooled together cultivation resources tempting even to a primordial essence divine emperor. The winner would wed the saint and seize all those resources too. That's the reason countless guests flock toward the demon race.
Then she beamed sweetly at Ye Mo, “Should Pill Divine Ye participate, you could win a stunning beauty alongside vast cultivation resources. With the demon race summoning powerhouses from numerous races, they'd likely refrain from any rash actions despite any grudge against Pill Divine Ye.”
Ye Mo figured he ought to attend. Doing so would generate hype for the century-spanning battle ahead and let him gauge the strengths of the other races.
Fan Gao had boasted of challenging the Divine Dao Realm yet never acted. Now, he'd broadcast it widely. Later, should he strike the beast race or wipe out the aquarius race, he'd possess a solid justification.
“Alright, I'll accompany Immortal Friend Tang,” Ye Mo decided firmly.
Tang Congyin likewise conveyed that the phoenix race would remain neutral in the clash a hundred years from now.
Three days passed before Ye Mo and Tang Congyin departed the phoenix race toward the demon race.
...
The demon race buzzed with unprecedented excitement, surpassing even Ao Xi’s primordial essence ceremony.
Though plenty of guests sought the saint, even more arrived for trades, exchanges, and forging connections.
The moment Tang Congyin’s flying ship neared the demon realm’s edge, a peak-stage dao essence demon rushed out to welcome her.
Ye Mo concealed his dao wave expertly, so this dao essence divine emperor overlooked him entirely.
Once inside the demon realm, Ye Mo’s spirit sense swept across it, revealing a domain rivaling the Divine Dao Realm in scale. Stability reigned there, with thick god spirit chi infused by potent demon wave chi.
After mending the Divine Dao Realm’s world meridian, it would match this place without question.
“Welcome to our demon race, Immortal Friend Tang. Your presence honors us greatly. Please, proceed to the guest palace...” A man in white robes with dark hair emerged. His gaze shone brilliantly.
Ye Mo sensed immediately this was a primordial essence divine emperor. Unlike Pu Yangsi, shrouded in fierce demon wave, he bore none—yet Ye Mo recognized his far deadlier nature.
“Haha, Brother Yi, thanks for greeting me yourself. Congyin feels deeply honored.”
She skipped introducing Ye Mo, turning to him with a smile instead. “Pill Divine Ye, meet the demon race’s primordial essence divine emperor Yi Yuanzhou. His demon dao god arts are utterly astounding.”
Upon hearing 'Pill Divine Ye' from Tang Congyin’s lips, Yi Yuanzhou’s eyes flashed brightly. Shock gripped him as he fixed his stare on Ye Mo—a primordial essence divine emperor right in front of him, utterly undetected.
