Ye Mo survived the Ninth Prince's ambush with the Suppression Celestial Seal's artifact spirit shielding him, allowing Mu Wanqing and Mo Bufan to slay the weakened Seventh and Eighth Princes. Shocked by Ye Mo's feat of sealing their dantians despite inferior strength, the trio returned to camp for rewards amid escalating tensions. In the Wraith Camp, Hun Wuji raged over the losses, identifying Ye Mo as the cunning threat behind the princes' downfall and the theft of Soul Devices, prompting the Fifth Prince Wen Chichi to pursue him using the Divine Thief Technique.

After eliminating the three enemy princes, morale on the Spirit Martial Camp's side skyrocketed naturally.

Ye Mo, alongside Xiao Yue, slew thirty lords of the Wraith Camp, turned in thirty Lord’s Tokens, and Ye Mo received thirty Books of Soldiers as reward.

Stepping out from the barracks, Ye Mo turned over his palm, presenting ten Books of Soldiers to Mu Wanqing since she had rescued his life—he naturally had to show his gratitude.

Furthermore, he sensed that gaining extra Books of Soldiers wouldn't suffice to advance into the Wheel of Reincarnation Seven Transformations.

Achieving a breakthrough to the Wheel of Reincarnation Sixth Revolution was definitely within reach, yet pushing to the Seven Transformations required Great Enlightenment, demanding comprehension of time deduction.

The other 20 Books of Soldiers were divided evenly between Ye Mo and Xiao Yue, ten apiece.

Ye Mo and Xiao Yue continued sharing the same tent; these days, they stayed vigilant daily, stealthily assassinating Wraith Camp lords amid endless battles—they had hit a breakthrough bottleneck.

Even though immediate breakthrough wasn't possible, Ye Mo was eager to attempt the Wheel of Reincarnation Seven Transformations; succeeding would give him the confidence to battle powerhouses who unlocked the Six-Time Space Gate.

"Yueyue, how are you feeling now?"

Ye Mo asked.

"I feel the bottleneck too; refining these Books of Soldiers might let me connect to the Space-time Gate and draw in soul origin."

Xiao Yue responded.

"Good, let's start cultivating together!"

Despite slaying the three princes, Ye Mo understood their capabilities well; Xuan Kui and the Eighth Prince hadn't unleashed their full strength, but the Ninth Prince's power alone showed the Sixth Prince and Fifth Prince were even fiercer.

He didn't think luck would let him take down more princes so easily.

Boosting his strength remained the top priority.

Ten Books of Soldiers sufficed for breaking through to the Wheel of Reincarnation Sixth Revolution.

Ye Mo tore open all ten Books of Soldiers, yet sadly, no Divine Venerate Realm spirit appeared—only soul origin emerged; using the Soul Collecting Technique, he gathered them and formed three spirit essences.

As his power grew, the spirit essences' spiritual energy intensified, soul origin usage rose accordingly, greatly amplifying his Immortal Cycle of Life and Death's might.

Having gathered the soul origins, Ye Mo started devouring that vast power.

No mishaps occurred; progress was seamless, Tomb Dragon Power stirred once more. After time equivalent to half a burning incense stick, Ye Mo gained another thirty million Tomb Dragon Power.

Within Ye Mo's body, it now reached one hundred fifty million.

"Break!"

Ye Mo roared instinctively as his inner forces nearly merged, surging into his limbs and bones.

The Butu Tower inside Ye Mo trembled fiercely.

Boom!

The Transcendence Skyline descended once more, this time as the Meteor Tribulation with endless meteors smashing brutally at Ye Mo’s flesh.

During this critical breakthrough phase, visions flooded Ye Mo’s mind of a shadowy figure materializing to assault him.

"Is this time deduction?"

Ye Mo felt profound shock, unaware he had instinctively grasped time deduction principles amid the Wheel of Reincarnation Sixth Revolution breakthrough.

"Your deduction isn't ordinary; most can only foresee the past, seldom the future."

Hong Ling remarked.

"Is my Eye of the Divine Beast activating?"

The Eye of the Divine Beast foretold fortunes.

Yet now, a vivid, precise vision streamed directly into his consciousness.

"Likely so, but the breakthrough surely sparked these future glimpses in your mind. In any case, it leverages the Eye of the Divine Beast to boost your time rehearsal, possibly propelling you straight to the Wheel of Reincarnation Seven Transformations."

One hundred fifty million Tomb Dragon Power fully supported reaching the Wheel of Reincarnation Seven Transformations.

Ye Mo sat cross-legged, undaunted by the Meteor Tribulation's onslaught, gradually mastering time rehearsal.

The Wheel of Reincarnation Sixth Revolution was now accomplished.

Still, Ye Mo pressed on, visions sharpening as he perceived an imminent intruder storming the barracks to slay him.

But only he knew this.

Numerous lords watched the Meteor Tribulation pummel Ye Mo’s body in stunned silence; his tribulations were always near-death ordeals. Without prior exposure, they'd be terrified out of their wits.

Yet instantly after, shock rippled through them—the Meteor Tribulation vanished, morphing into thunder orbs brimming with myriad past scenes from the Blood Prison Battlefield.

"This is the thunder trial of time rehearsal—utterly astonishing."

"Ye Mo pulled off consecutive breakthroughs again, leaping from Wheel of Reincarnation Fifth Revolution to Seven Transformations; such talent is horrifying."

Bang!

Ye Mo's eyes snapped open, fists clenching as horrifying spatial force empowered his Tomb Dragon Power; the unleashed might cracked the surrounding earth with Ye Mo at the center.

A colossal power wave birthed a raging storm around Ye Mo; lords with Five-Time Space Gate open faced the peril of being shredded by this tempest.

Merely clenching unleashed such devastating force.

Ye Mo brimmed with total confidence now; one punch could pulverize the Ninth Prince, whose power peaked at Five-Time Space Gate. His current strength could overpower Six-Time Space Gate openers.

"Haha, consecutive breakthroughs—this is what consecutive breakthroughs feel like, sending my power soaring wildly!"

Ye Mo rose laughing boisterously, his thunderous guffaw instantly dispersing the power storm.

"I wasn't sure about consecutive breakthroughs before, but I reached Wheel of Reincarnation Seven Transformations anyway; now slaying a Six-Time Space Gate lord is effortless. Not one, but hundreds pose no threat—a Chief Commander couldn't kill me easily either."

Excitement surged in Ye Mo, hard to contain.

Back on Lingwu Continent, he was already daring among peers, but the Vanquishing Martial Realm had suppressed him greatly, especially against the Ninth Prince who toyed with him. Now, all that changed.

As Ye Mo reveled, chaos brewed elsewhere; a gigantic portal loomed over Xiao Yue—far bigger than those ordinary lords summoned.

The portal burst wide, flooding Xiao Yue’s fragile frame with soul origin in amounts nothing short of horrifying.
