Ye Mo broke through to the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations after Wen Chichi's self-detonation, mastering the Power of Time and surging in strength to overpower Sevenfold Space-Time Gate experts. The leaders stood stunned as he warned of fiercer battles ahead with enemy princes alerted. Over the next month, Ye Mo and Xiao Yue guarded the cliff against the Sixth Prince's advanced Wraith Formations, reducing casualties while gathering intelligence on the Wraith Camp's four Demi-Honored Fighters and suspected schemes.

"Venturing to the enemy military camp is extremely perilous. Our camp’s scouts themselves can’t come within a hundred meters of their base. A single mistake, and we’ll be cut down by the foes."

Xiao Yue shook her head firmly.

Ye Mo’s present power allowed him to disregard those who had opened the Sevenfold Space-Time Gate, yet the enemy’s Demi-Honored Practitioners could utterly slay him.

Demi-Honored Fighters perfect their soul origin through cultivation, manifesting a Soul Body. Their might is tremendously powerful, with top Demi-Honored Fighters capable of slaying Divine Venerate practitioners beyond their level.

"Hmm? Feng Chu sent a message; he’s run into the Sixth Prince. Let’s flank the Sixth Prince from the rear right away."

Ye Mo lifted his brows, a grin spreading across his face. His figure flashed, propelling him into the sky.

"This time, we have to eliminate that Sixth Prince!"

Xiao Yue declared, as the pair morphed into beams of light and sped toward a certain direction.

Whoosh!

Chilly winds roared while three silhouettes traversed the open terrain of the Spirit Martial Camp. The foremost youth looked barely over twenty, donning Fire Peng feather armor, his shoulder-length crimson hair blazing, and his features strikingly distinctive.

Trailing him were two middle-aged warriors.

Both of these middle-aged men served as leaders who had unlocked the Six-Time Space Gate.

"Sixth Prince, must we keep stalling like this? When will the Second Prince launch the primary attack?"

The bald leader inquired.

Fire Peng sauntered casually, replying, "No need to hurry with the main offensive. The Array Power from the Vanquishing Martial Realm lingers still, so there’s no pressing demand to crush the Enlightenment Camp at once. Besides, the Fourth Prince and Third Prince remain absent. Their arrival will end this turmoil, unstoppable by anyone. Our role is merely to drain their supplies."

"Sixth Prince, your High-grade Soul Death Formation is truly fearsome. It can bind even those who’ve opened the Six-Time Space Gate. A peer-level leader would fall straight to your Wraith Formation."

The crew-cut leader’s gaze sparkled with excitement.

Over these days, he had stayed by the Sixth Prince’s side, who hailed from the Wraith Land, fighting through endless clashes without anyone cornering them.

Most crucially, this Sixth Prince commanded two High-grade Wraith Formations, rendering opposition futile upon deployment.

"Fresh prey emerges."

Fire Peng’s mouth hooked up faintly as he eyed a close bush and uttered coolly, "Reveal yourselves!"

Concealed in the foliage, Feng Chu and Bai Xueqin jolted in surprise. They hadn’t anticipated detection despite their prolonged stealth and total aura suppression.

"Xueqin, activate the Ice Snow Domain!"

Feng Chu shouted, gripping the Six Daos Reincarnation Sword, charging from the bush decisively to cleave at the adversaries.

"Got it!"

Bai Xueqin dashed out at the same instant. Though her cultivation lagged behind Feng Chu’s, her Heart Force stood at ninth rank. Bursting forth, she unleashed the Ice Snow Domain, instantly shrouding Fire Peng and his two escorts.

"Seeking death!"

As the duo lunged toward him, Fire Peng sneered icily, wrist twisting to draw a lengthy sword etched with a demonic visage on its hilt, veiled in hazy glow.

"No domain can withstand me!"

Fire Peng twisted away swiftly, slipping free of the domain’s grasp, then swung his blade abruptly, shattering the Ice Snow Domain in a flash.

"How can this be?"

Shock gripped Feng Chu too. Bai Xueqin’s ninth-rank Heart Force domain crumbled under a single enemy blow. He suspected the Sixth Prince’s sword held the key.

"Doesn’t matter—take out his two followers first."

Feng Chu swiftly composed himself, launching a Divine Demon Force-infused assault that blanketed the area, striking the bald and crew-cut leaders without delay.

The two Six-Time Space Gate experts faced the blow unprepared. Feng Chu’s realm was merely single Space-Time Gate opening, yet this unforeseen strike caught them off-guard.

Puff! Puff!

The sudden raid felled the two leaders outright, with two Immortal Artifacts ejecting from their corpses.

"Those leaders looked down on me. Had they taken me seriously, slaying them wouldn’t have been so straightforward."

Feng Chu shook his head.

"Quite the warrior."

Having pierced Bai Xueqin’s domain, Fire Peng fixed a chilly stare on Feng Chu, stating, "You’ve concealed your prowess as well. Your scheme is in motion, no doubt, yet even with Ye Mo and Xiao Yue from your camp, you lot couldn’t touch me. Believe you two alone can end me?"

"Two on one—we’ve got a shot."

Feng Chu grinned while replying.

Fire Peng swept his eyes over them both, then chuckled, "Truth be told, leaning on her Ice Snow Domain, your strength might slay me, but domains mean nothing to me. My Domain Breaking Sword shatters them all."

A Soul Device, the Domain Breaking Sword specialized in domain disruption, though not invincible—it failed against Ye Mo’s Immortal-Slaying Domain.

Unaware of the Domain Breaking Sword, Feng Chu knew the foe wielded two High-grade Wraith Formations, potent enough to trap them if activated.

"Killing us won’t be simple for you!"

Feng Chu smiled faintly.

He’d already signaled Ye Mo via jade scroll. A timely flank from Ye Mo could trap this Sixth Prince.

"I can’t slay you both, true, but you’ve slain my escorts, so I’ll answer in kind—by killing your ally!"

The Sixth Prince declared, weaving seals and aiming his sword at Feng Chu.

At once, thunderous noise engulfed Feng Chu as a yellowish ring hardened into a crystalline earthen shield, encasing him fully.

One High-grade Wraith Formation, the Confinement Barrier.

Tailored to the warrior’s strength, this barrier resisted breaking, drawing ambient Heaven and Earth energy to self-repair ceaselessly. Any gap mended instantly, rendering escape arduous.

Ye Mo himself had endured this Confinement Barrier multiple times, struggling to shatter it promptly.

Feng Chu’s face paled as Fire Peng lunged at Bai Xueqin.

"Sixth Prince, long time no see!"

Ye Mo materialized abruptly, thrusting his spear to parry the Sixth Prince’s strike and positioning before Bai Xueqin.

"How’d you get here?"

Shock hit the Sixth Prince, his features twisting in dismay, "This is bad!"

Ye Mo’s presence meant Xiao Yue lurked close. Yet before response, debilitating frailty flooded him.

Ye Mo’s Blood Fiend Spear thrust explosively, piercing voids like a guided strike, impaling the Sixth Prince.

"We three stand as Lingwu Continent’s premier geniuses. If even you elude us, how face Hun Wuji?"

Ye Mo pulled back his spear, and the Sixth Prince crashed heavily to the ground.
