The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1303 - 1304: Battle of Fate
Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
Xue Wudi harbored an intense desire to eliminate Ye Mo promptly, aiming to release his pent-up fury. This expedition to the Lingwu Continent was intended to yield immense resources, yet instead, he had encountered an unforeseen setback.
Fortunately, their original scheme remained viable. Should they succeed in acquiring the unique sealing techniques of the Lingwu Continent, the Dead Soul Royal Family would undoubtedly achieve greater power. This would enable him to aid the Soul Master in eradicating the Wraith Clan, thereby realizing the grand ambition of unifying the Wraith Land.
Ye Mo observed Xue Wudi, his demeanor growing serious as his grip tightened on the Tyrant’s Blade.
The emergence of two Ancient Immortal Artifacts instantly unleashed distinct, intangible atmospheres that surged towards each other, culminating in a potent collision.
"Haha!"
Xue Wudi let out a boisterous laugh, and a formidable surge of Wraith Energy permeated the surroundings, chilling the air and effectively halting the clash of energies, as if the entire moment had been frozen in time.
"So formidable!"
Ye Mo inwardly gasped in alarm.
Every soldier in the Spirit Martial Alliance Army could only stare in utter disbelief as the unfolding scene transpired before their eyes.
Simultaneously, Ye Mo’s pupils constricted, his gaze fixed intently on Xue Wudi.
"Ye Mo, you could never have anticipated this, could you? My true strength hasn't even been fully revealed, and you are the very first individual to compel me to unleash my complete power. Prepare yourself to witness the formidable might of the Dead Soul Royal Family."
Xue Wudi channeled all his prior frustration directly at Ye Mo, displaying his authentic power not merely to secure victory but with a clear intent to kill. He resolved to extinguish the life of the continent's most promising genius right before the Spirit Martial Alliance Army at Genius Gorge, thus satisfying his deepest desires.
Only by felling Ye Mo could his own unparalleled genius truly be acknowledged.
"Ye Mo, this time, I shall claim your life directly. Make your move now!"
Xue Wudi declared, continuously amplifying his power. The Wraith Energy surrounding him vibrated intensely, and layers of potent blood energy began to encase his body, swiftly coalescing into a suit of blood-red armor.
"Blood Clan Heavenly Armor? He actually condensed it directly from his own power?"
Ye Mo, possessing considerable knowledge, expressed astonishment upon witnessing the armor Xue Wudi had formed.
"Haha, I'm surprised you recognize the Blood Clan Heavenly Armor. This is the most revered and noble armor of my Blood Clan; even the most exceptional Artifact Refiners might struggle to forge it, yet I can manifest it through my own power. With this armor alone, your chances of defeating me are slim. You should be prepared to meet your end, shouldn't you?"
Xue Wudi displayed no restraint, exerting immense pressure on Ye Mo with both his formidable strength and imposing aura.
Upon witnessing this, every face turned grave. This confrontation held the potential to decide Ye Mo’s ultimate fate, surpassing even his previous encounter with the Wraith Demon Emperor.
This battle could very well mark Ye Mo’s demise.
"Kill!"
Ye Mo remained unfazed by Xue Wudi’s taunts. His physical form seemed to metamorphose into a vast, spectral cemetery, from which countless tombstones erupted. Each monument appeared to house the lingering spirit of a fallen warrior, soaring outwards to construct an expansive graveyard across a vast expanse, manifesting a world comprised entirely of tombstones.
"Xue Wudi, I am the victor of the Lingwu Genius Battle, having overcome innumerable trials and tribulations. How could I possibly be intimidated by your mere words? Reveal your true capabilities if you truly desire to end my life."
Ye Mo unleashed a brilliantly intricate cemetery formation, propelling a multitude of tombstones towards Xue Wudi in a grand, sweeping offensive.
"Giant Mu Powers, I never anticipated you could wield them to such an extent."
A look of surprise flickered across Xue Wudi’s face. The Blood Light Soul-Devouring Blade in his grasp emanated a crimson glow. He swung it with immense force, torrents of blood pouring from his arm to coat the blade in deadly sigils that weaved through the air, seemingly embodying the very essence of dominion over life and death.
With astonishing agility, Xue Wudi darted through the dense array of tombstones; transforming into a razor-sharp blade, he plunged downwards, targeting Ye Mo.
Instantly, Ye Mo felt a chilling sense of subjugation by his adversary. Xue Wudi appeared to have become the Grim Reaper himself, poised to claim his soul. This ominous presentiment alerted Ye Mo to the dire gravity of the situation, a predicament he had never encountered before.
With a fierce cry, Ye Mo finally activated the Tyrant’s Blade within his hand: "Tyrant’s World, Great Tomb Swallowing Heaven!"
The numerous tombstones converged once more, coalescing into a colossal tombstone capable of eclipsing the sky, descending with immense force to crush Xue Wudi.
"Bloodlight Soul Slash!"
Without the slightest alteration in his expression, Xue Wudi maintained his overwhelming advantage. Suspended in mid-air, the Blood Light Soul-Devouring Blade pulsed, unleashing hundreds of swift slashes in mere moments. The blood-red blade transformed into a tempest of strikes, instantly obliterating the gigantic tombstone into nothingness, utterly nullifying Ye Mo’s potent assault.
Every single manifestation of the Giant Mu Power was decisively countered by Xue Wudi’s Bloodlight Soul Slash.
The bloody storms raged, and Ye Mo perceived phantom bloodlights assaulting him. He recognized these as spiritual assaults capable of bypassing physical defenses. "This Blood Light Soul-Devouring Blade infuses each strike with two attack types. Without a Soul Defense Immortal Artifact or robust Soul Cultivation, Ye Mo's chances of winning are virtually zero," the Wraith Demon Emperor deduced. Xue Wudi's weapon naturally possessed spiritual attack capabilities. Coupled with the Blood Clan Armor and a Soul Defense Immortal Artifact, he was practically invincible, even against opponents in higher realms. He could easily retreat if outmatched. Spiritual attacks were almost useless against him. Even formidable Divine Venerable Nine Souls practitioners could not readily penetrate his Soul Defense Immortal Artifact. Heeding the Wraith Demon Emperor's words, Ye Mo knitted his brows. Suddenly, he unleashed a phantom black longsword, confronting the incoming bloody blade lights. The impact caused martial artists with weaker Soul Cultivation to feel their Soul Sea roil. Ye Mo sensed the energy from this collision flowing into his Brain Domain space, and surprisingly, his Soul Body absorbed it directly. "What is happening?" Ye Mo questioned internally, astonished. Through continuous spiritual exchanges, the Perfect Soul Body relentlessly assimilated the energy. This peculiar phenomenon left Ye Mo amazed, sparking a subtle premonition. Perhaps this Soul Body, conjured by opening the Heavenly Dragon Sect, held hidden potential. Accumulating sufficient spiritual energy might lead to an accelerated breakthrough to the Divine Venerate Realm.
