Ye Mo insisted on accepting the Tenth Prince Ao Zi's challenge despite leaders' warnings, aiming for three consecutive victories to boost camp morale. Li Murong agreed, promising two Books of Soldiers as reward. Preparing with Xiao Yue's protection, Ye Mo unsealed a Book of Soldiers, defeated the released Divine Venerate soul spirit using his Soul Collecting Technique, and absorbed its vast energy along with three soul essences to breakthrough to the Fourth Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation.

Right now, deep inside the army camp, Ye Mo's body resembled a colossal whirlpool, devouring every shred of power from that Book of Soldiers.

This power encompassed not just the complete cultivation base of a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner accumulated over a lifetime, but also all the knowledge he had amassed throughout his existence.

Yet, this was merely an average Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner, whose martial techniques were total rubbish, so Ye Mo simply discarded them, taking in only the raw energy.

Time ticked by slowly.

Ye Mo sensed the strength building inside him had struck its maximum.

"Ascend, Wheel of Reincarnation Fourth Transformation!"

Every bit of energy erupted in that instant.

His aura steadily began to surge upward.

Boom!

Abruptly, rays of light split into black and white forms—the black manifesting as Hell Tribulation, the white as Heaven Tribulation—morphing from infernal abyss to celestial realm amid temporal shifts. These twin cataclysms plunged from the heavens, obliterating the enormous barracks upon impact.

Crack!

Fissures started spiderwebbing across Ye Mo's frame.

This spectacle swiftly drew crowds of powerhouses; the sheer scale of the uproar unmistakably signaled a breakthrough in cultivation.

"What sort of tribulation is that? It's the Hell Heaven Tribulation, a catastrophic event from the Ancient Times that only emerges when a Divine Venerate Realm ascends. Who's breaking through?"

A leader-grade expert cried out.

"It’s, it’s Ye Mo ascending!"

Suddenly, another voice rang out.

Boom!

Black and white rays hammered down relentlessly, submerging Ye Mo in the dual forces of heaven and hell, his body fracturing further.

Yet Ye Mo showed no trace of fear; the power surging within him detonated wildly, drawing in the essence of both tribulations.

Within a handful of breaths, the cracks marring Ye Mo's skin began sealing up once more.

His limbs, bones, and vital organs underwent a profound rebirth.

The Rising Dragon Pillar stirred awake, its might leaping from one hundred million Tomb Dragon Power to one hundred and twenty million.

Wheel of Reincarnation Fourth Transformation accomplished!

A ferocious, earth-shaking aura billowed from Ye Mo as he thundered again, "Charge, Wheel of Reincarnation Fifth Revolution!"

The vast energy Ye Mo had devoured this time, combined with the Heaven and Hell Tribulation forces he absorbed, propelled him onward without pause.

Wheel of Reincarnation Fifth Revolution accomplished.

At that moment, Ye Mo felt his prowess vault to unprecedented heights; shattering two realms in succession, surging past Minor Wheel of Reincarnation Accomplishment into full Wheel of Reincarnation Accomplishment. His Power of Time doubled outright, amplifying his Xuan Aura to make his strength overwhelmingly dominant, elevating him to an entirely superior existence.

"Ao Zi, tomorrow if you want to take my life, let’s see if you have the strength for it."

Ye Mo withdrew his aura entirely, dialing it back to Wheel of Reincarnation Fifth Revolution levels; fully unleashing it would catapault him to Three Time-Space Gates activation, and backed by his arsenal of secret weapons, he'd effortlessly slay even Four Time-Space Gates wielders.

"The lifetime cultivation of a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner isn’t all that much; if I hadn’t absorbed the energy of heaven and hell, I couldn’t have broken through two realms successively."

Ye Mo commented calmly.

"You’re so monstrous, even when ascending, the energy you consume far exceeds that of an ordinary martial artist."

The Wraith Demon Emperor shook his head with a wry smile; he'd never witnessed anyone so freakish, and the deeper their association grew, the clearer it became that Ye Mo was an unfathomable void, his potential seemingly limitless forever.

"Ye Mo, you actually ascended two realms consecutively, it seems tomorrow’s battle won’t be too arduous for us."

Xiao Yue walked up with a grin, saying.

Ye Mo took hold of Xiao Yue’s slender hand and declared, "With my current strength, I can definitely kill him, and I have condensed three drops of soul essence to counteract his Sky-Shrouding Net."

Right then, Li Murong showed up alongside numerous commanders, all stunned by Ye Mo's prodigious talent.

"Ye Mo, you completely absorbed the energy of the Book of Soldiers and ascended two levels?"

Li Murong inquired with curiosity.

"Yes!"

Ye Mo nodded.

"Truly a genius, ordinary Wheel of Reincarnation Realm Expert can’t fully absorb it; the Book of Soldiers I gave you is the only one sealed with the lifetime cultivation of a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner, yet strangely, even after absorbing it fully, why only two level ascension?"

Li Murong's curiosity deepened.

"Perhaps when I refined and absorbed the power, much of it dispersed."

Ye Mo answered vaguely.

"That’s true, wanting to refine and absorb everything certainly isn’t simple."

Li Murong nodded and added, "You two have a good rest today; tomorrow, win another great victory for our Spirit Martial Camp."

They both assented and relocated to a fresh tent, yet neither truly rested—Xiao Yue munched on Bodhi Fruits to advance her cultivation, while Ye Mo pondered merging two formations.

The night passed.

No sooner had Ye Mo and Xiao Yue emerged from their tent than mournful horns blared across the entire camp.

"This must be the assembly order; we’re going to battle again soon."

Ye Mo remarked, just as Qiu Yu rushed over and bowed respectfully: "Master Ye Mo, Master Xiao Yue, the Chief Commander has selected one hundred elite soldiers for you, all of them above Wheel of Reincarnation Sixth Revolution, to help you achieve a triumphant victory."

"Yueyue, let’s hurry there too!"

Ye Mo burned with eagerness, knowing that offing Tenth Prince Ao Zi would net him two Books of Soldiers to propel Xiao Yue's growth even higher.

Arriving at the camp's edge, Ye Mo and Xiao Yue spotted vast ranks of soldiers arrayed in square phalanxes, radiating savage killing intent, immensely superior to yesterday's hundred-man team—a clear sign of Spirit Martial Camp's utmost seriousness for this clash.

A win today would mark consecutive victories, poised to shatter the Wraith Camp's spirit beyond repair.

Spotting Ye Mo and Xiao Yue draw near, Li Murong strode forward with a smile, inquiring, "Are you both ready?"

"Yes!"

Both nodded.

"Everyone, today will be the most crucial battle. Here, we wish Ye Mo triumph and return victorious."

Li Murong roared, his voice booming like thunderclaps, reverberating through the camp for all to hear.

Naturally, a Wraith Camp scout overheard Li Murong too, sneering scornfully: "What’s the point of making such grand gestures? The Dead Soul Royal Family is the strongest family in Wraith Land, and Ao Zi, the Tenth Prince of the Dead Soul Clan, possesses not only one of the Ten Great Soul Tools, the Sky-Shrouding Net, but also controls a high-grade Wraith Formation. Even experts who activate Five Time-Space Gates are helpless against him. And being the son of the Soul Master, he surpasses the Eleventh Prince, who should have long been disqualified from the Twelve Princes."

With that in mind, he vanished from the spot, hastening to report the intel back to Wraith Camp.
