The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1248 - 1249: Shocking the Entire Military Camp

Ye Mo offered no leniency toward these individuals. These leaders, whose combat prowess relied primarily on the activation of the Second Temporal-Spatial Gateway, lacked the courage to engage others in direct confrontation.

Ye Mo’s pointed remarks hit a sore spot. Initially quite brazen, they had ultimately faced crushing defeats at the hands of the Wraith Camp’s commanders. Several prominent figures even suffered humiliating drubbings, causing widespread dread of the battlefield to the point that Li Murong had to strictly prohibit any further challenges.

Of ten skirmishes fought, nine resulted in defeat, and six leaders had already perished.

Currently, another leader, having triggered the Fourth Space-Time Gate, was locked in the eleventh struggle against an opponent.

“You brat, regardless of our capabilities, we remain leaders, whereas you are merely a soldier. Soldiers ought to maintain a modicum of awareness regarding their station.”

One commander bellowed, his gaze burning with fury as he glared at Ye Mo. Had they not been within the military camp, he would have undoubtedly torn Ye Mo limb from limb.

“Pure ignorance!”

Xiao Yue delivered these two words coldly, rendering everyone momentarily stunned. Given Xiao Yue’s prior display of power, many leaders already held the humbling belief that their own strength fell short of hers.

“Enough of this chatter. This man, Ye Mo, is the successor to Lord Snow Eagle. Once he successfully completes the evaluation of the Dream-entering Stone, I shall grant him authorization to initiate challenges.”

Li Murong’s stern voice brought a sudden silence to the assembly.

“What? He is the new Lord Snow Eagle? Did he actually conquer Li Han Guang?”

Many leaders, who had been sequestered in their tents and uninformed of the recent events, stared at Ye Mo in pure astonishment, their expressions veering toward disbelief.

“Li Han Guang is about to be defeated!”

A sudden shout diverted everyone’s attention from Ye Mo back to the center of the training grounds. Li Han Guang, suffering repeated blows from the Gentle Rabbit Demon, had no choice but to touch the Dream-entering Stone to disconnect from the examination.

In his first trial, he had successfully utilized Iciness to trap and overcome the Dragonfly King Fiend, yet in the second, his opponent’s speed proved far too elusive to track.

“Li Han Guang failed as well. It appears this assessment is truly formidable.”

“Difficult indeed; without exceptional personal trump cards, one simply cannot pass. While the Dragonfly King Fiend possesses sluggish speed, its eyes see all. Every movement you contemplate is already observed, and before you take action, it has already blocked your path. Furthermore, its hide is near-impenetrable, far beyond the reach of an ordinary martial artist. As for the second challenge, the Gentle Rabbit Demon boasts terrifying speed; a singular error guarantees an immediate loss.”

One of the leaders provided this analysis. To emerge victorious, one must devise a way to overcome these specific obstacles.

Xiao Yue, who wields the Six Paths Halo along with the Profound Heart Technique—rare martial pursuits that rival even Divine-Level Martial Arts—was only able to triumph by harmonizing both.

Regarding Li Han Guang, while his mastery of Iciness was sufficient to freeze the Dragonfly King Fiend and strike its eyes, such tactics proved useless against the second trial’s blinding speed and its uncanny ability to obscure its own form.

“Han Guang, return to the ranks. Advancing past the first round is a commendable feat in itself.”

Li Murong remarked.

“Damn it!”

Li Han Guang, simmering with dissatisfaction, nevertheless complied and retreated.

“Ye Mo, it is your turn.”

Li Murong announced.

Instantly, the attention of all the commanders returned to the man who had recently slapped the Tianyue Lord aside. Curiosity hung in the air as they waited to see his performance.

“Ye Mo, exercise caution!”

Xiao Yue warned him.

Ye Mo offered a faint smile, pressing her delicate hand gently. “Fear not, I have already devised a strategy to truly impress you.”

With those words, Ye Mo moved steadily toward the Dream-entering Stone.

“Hmph, I am eager to see how a man at the Third Transformation of the Wheel of Reincarnation expects to pass a test that baffled Li Han Guang. Should you fail, what possible justification could exist for Master Li Murong’s choice?”

Tianyue Lord let out a bitter, cutting laugh, failing to comprehend why the typically cold and aloof Xiao Yue would hold such a high opinion of Ye Mo.

Ye Mo approached the stone and laid a single hand upon its surface.

Almost immediately, the Dragonfly King Fiend manifested before him. Wielding the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear, Ye Mo surged forward, soaring directly toward the creature. Intrigued, the fiend remained perfectly still, its swarm of pupils rotating wildly as it attempted to locate Ye Mo’s presence.

Puff! Puff!

Two rapid strikes pierced the fiend’s eyes, and it collapsed before vanishing in a shimmer of light.

The sequence transpired in a split second, leaving the observers dumbfounded. They couldn't determine exactly what had happened, though the fiend’s own expression signaled that it had failed to detect Ye Mo, even while he stood directly before it.

“What is happening? Why was the Dragonfly King Fiend unable to perceive him?”

One leader cried out, his mind unable to grasp the impossibility of the situation.

Tianyue Lord’s face stiffened in surprise, though he quickly masked it. After all, passing the first hurdle was not enough; a far more daunting trial remained.

The Dragonfly King Fiend had failed to detect Ye Mo because he had deployed the Chu Assassination Domain. Though it was only an entry-level field, it enabled Ye Mo to shroud his existence entirely, and because the beast itself lacked the ability to utilize such a domain, it was inherently blind to his position.

Before the onlookers could recover their composure, Ye Mo plunged into the second test where pure velocity was the only path to success. Even his own Eye of the Divine Beast struggled to track the movement, and his base speed was far from sufficient.

As the Gentle Rabbit Demon flickered into existence, Ye Mo flashed a cold smile and unveiled the Lu Xian arm. In the center of his palm, a wheel wreathed in black flames materialized, causing the surrounding space to ripple and warp.

The Gentle Rabbit Demon stared at the wheel in Ye Mo’s hand with profound contempt, confident in its own superior agility, and promptly vanished into a blur.

The observing leaders, even those who had unlocked three or four Space-Time Gates, could barely perceive the shadow of the demon as it moved.

“Immortal Cycle of Life and Death!”

Having tracked the demon’s movements, Ye Mo instantly launched the wheel. It expanded mid-air, slicing through the void toward a specific point.

Argh!

A sharp, piercing shriek echoed across the field before the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death unleashed its full destructive force. The Rabbit Demon was obliterated, and the dream-space fractured instantly.

The second test was successfully completed with swift finality.

A satisfied glint appeared in Ye Mo’s eyes. Although the technique had depleted the spirit essences he had previously accumulated, his current state of battle ensured that he would easily harvest sufficient Soul Shock Origin to replenish his reserves.

“How can this even be described as a test? For him, this possesses absolutely no challenge. I suspect even an Advanced Dream-entering Stone would not be enough to stop him!”

The hearts of the surrounding crowd quaked with genuine fear and awe.
