The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1309 - 1310: Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit

Judging from the Wraith Demon Emperor's words, the Sect Master of the Hell Sect must possess incredible power, otherwise, these individuals wouldn't have submitted so readily.

The clash between the two factions was rather significant, and with each passing moment, Ye Mo could observe illusory strikes colliding repeatedly. Should one side falter, their attack would pierce directly into the opponent's mind, leaving them in a stupor before a physical blow landed.

"Hei Qi, you'd best remember this. I won't let you have the upper hand next time."

The besieged faction was clearly at a disadvantage and departed with a parting threat, intending to locate another group to ambush for points.

The individual known as Hei Qi, positioned at the front, let out a silent, mocking chuckle: "You believe you can pilfer my points?"

"Within this Moluo Hell training, only those disciples who secure a spot in the top ten for points will be granted passage to the Hell Mountain Range for extraordinary opportunities."

"Brother Hei Qi, rumor has it that the Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit in the Hell Mountain Range has reached its ripeness. If we manage to pluck even one, our soul cultivation will undoubtedly surge."

"Only a scant few Heavenly Demon Hell Fruits have ripened within the Hell Mountain Range. It's said the fruit itself has developed a consciousness and is protected by formidable soul beasts, making its acquisition incredibly difficult. Furthermore, formidable cultivators from other sects will also converge to vie for them, presenting a significant challenge for us to claim them."

"Brother Hei Qi, should you succeed in obtaining the Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit this time, your soul cultivation might experience a tremendous boost, potentially enabling you to break through to the Soul Realm's Third Layer."

The Soul Realm itself is comprised of nine distinct layers. Progressing from the Soul Realm First Layer to the Soul Realm Ninth Layer each results in a surge of spiritual energy.

"Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit?"

The Wraith Demon Emperor's eyes also gleamed with interest as he remarked, "Ye Mo, it appears your fortune truly shines. The Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit is a soul-nourishing fruit. A fully ripened Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit can even cultivate its own soul body. If you were to consume a few, you could ascend to the Divine Venerate Realm in an instant."

"Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit… it seems I must contend for it. However, with my current capabilities, infiltrating another's training session to seize the fruit will not be a simple feat."

Following a brief exchange of words, the group departed swiftly, vanishing without a trace. Ye Mo's figure then reappeared.

"Based on their conversation, only the top ten point-earners gain entry to the Hell Mountain Range. This suggests the Hell Mountain Range might be under some form of restriction. It appears I'll need to await the results of their training and then infiltrate the Hell Mountain Range alongside them."

Ye Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured softly.

This Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit could very well be his pathway to ascending to the Divine Venerate Realm. Once he reaches the Divine Venerate Realm, he will be capable of forming a Soul Sea, thereby possessing profound spiritual energy and the ability to wield the soul manipulation techniques imparted by Ancestor Bodhi.

Naturally, his strength would undergo an exponential increase, and the true extent of a Perfect Soul Affinity Achiever's power upon reaching the Divine Venerate Realm remains an intriguing unknown.

Even the Wraith Demon Emperor harbored anticipation for Ye Mo's ascension; after all, Ye Mo embodied a Perfect Soul Body, a phenomenon he had never witnessed before.

"What are you waiting for? Let's investigate the Hell Mountain Range first," the Wraith Demon Emperor urged.

"I've only just arrived, and I haven't even grasped the local geography yet," Ye Mo countered dismissively.

"During my tenure roaming the Wraith Land, there wasn't a place I hadn't traversed. I am quite familiar with the Hell Mountain Range, but you must exercise caution. Numerous soul beasts inhabit the area, and the more potent ones possess capabilities equivalent to the Divine Venerate Realm, capable of unleashing spiritual attacks as well."

Heeding the Wraith Demon Emperor's counsel, Ye Mo nodded and proceeded towards the Hell Mountain Range as advised.

Upon traversing the flat expanse of desolate ruins, Ye Mo encountered a winding mountain path ahead. The terrain was exceedingly treacherous, and Ye Mo refrained from airborne travel. Within the Wraith Land, an unwritten ordinance dictates that individuals not at the Divine Venerate Late Stage are forbidden from flying. While discreet flight might be possible, discovery could lead to aggressive repercussions, as aerial movement is notably conspicuous.

Ye Mo continued his journey, encountering several soul beasts along the way. These creatures bear resemblance to the Demon Beasts of the Lingwu Continent, yet at comparable cultivation levels, the soul beasts exhibit demonstrably superior strength.

However, these soul beasts were not formidable and were effortlessly vanquished by Ye Mo. To his astonishment, upon their demise, they yielded Soul Cores. Interestingly, these cores contained not a substantial quantity of Wraith Energy, but rather the essence of soul origin.

"It's no wonder the soul techniques of the Wraith Land are so potent," Ye Mo mused.

Ye Mo marveled, feeling that journeying to Wraith Land was an exceptionally wise choice. Within this expansive world of cultivation, Wraith Land was merely a tiny speck.

Understand this: across immense territories like Wraith Land and Lingwu Continent, there exist as many as three thousand comparable continents.

It is possible that each continent boasts its own unique cultivation methods.

After half a day of travel, Ye Mo found himself nearing the Hell Mountain Range. Yet, he observed no indication of any seal upon it.

A dense, dark mist blanketed the entirety of the Hell Mountain Range, allowing Ye Mo only to perceive the faint silhouettes of the peaks.

"The Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit resides within this Hell Mountain Range, though its precise location is unknown to me. Perhaps the individuals from the Hell Sect are already aware of its growing spot. We should seek a narrow passage to infiltrate the range," the Wraith Demon Emperor advised.

Soul beasts are quite large, so narrower entrances would naturally be devoid of them. Only formidable soul beasts would dare venture into the Hell Mountain Range, and he was determined to find the most advantageous path for Ye Mo.

Ye Mo activated his Eye of the Divine Beast, instantly surveying the entire mountain range. He identified over a hundred entry points and promptly chose the most diminutive one, proceeding swiftly towards it and entering the Hell Mountain Range without delay.

Upon entering the range and navigating through the dense forest, Ye Mo encountered other individuals who did not appear to be members of the Hell Sect.

"This trial hosted by the Hell Sect is clearly intended to bestow the ripened Heavenly Demon Hell Fruits upon their most accomplished disciples. However, the Hell Sect has grown too arrogant, believing this mountain range to be exclusively theirs. Today, we shall humble them," one voice declared.

"Indeed, the Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit significantly aids in soul cultivation. Should I acquire one, I could ascend to the Soul Realm Second Layer, further bolstering my martial prowess," another chimed in.

"I have heard rumors of a Hell Cavern existing within this very mountain range, harboring even more profound secrets. Should we uncover this secret, it could represent an immense opportunity," a third added.

As Ye Mo continued his trek, these conversations reached his ears. Nevertheless, the sound of nearby combat immediately captured his attention, causing him to dismiss the other discussions. It was likely that these individuals had also come in pursuit of the Heavenly Demon Hell Fruit, making clashes along the way an unavoidable occurrence.

With a single step, a voice halted his advance, compelling him to look incredulously towards the unfolding battle.

"Senior Sister Li Mengli, you must flee swiftly! We will hold him off!"
