Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
Ye Mo clashes with Ao Zi and Ao Yuntian, easily defending against their attacks with his Six-Path Samsara Domain. Meanwhile, Ye Mo's true self tunnels underground, discovering incredibly hard rocks that absorb his flame. He realizes these stones are part of a massive Energy Ore vein and begins absorbing its potent demonic energy.
"Demon King Huang Tian?"Ye Mo was also greatly shaken. To declare oneself a Demon King, one must indeed be a formidable figure."That’s right. This demonic aura is immensely powerful. Even the Lord of Myriad Demons absolutely cannot achieve this level. Only that particular individual can accomplish this."The Wraith Demon Emperor stated, his expression suddenly shifting, "Could it be? Could it be that he has already fallen?"This was merely a supposition by the Wraith Demon Emperor. If Demon King Huang Tian had met his end here, everything could be readily explained. But why would he fall? With his strength, few in Wraith Land could possibly kill him."We’ll ascertain the truth once we venture inside and observe!"Ye Mo wasted no more words. While absorbing the ambient energy from the rocks, he proceeded to melt them away. This process persisted for the duration of half a stick of incense, culminating in a breakthrough. Ye Mo was quite astonished by the revelation that unfolded. At the base of the canyon, a hundred zhang deep, the space was unexpectedly hollow, filled with a substantial quantity of demonic aura that coiled within.Within the swirling demonic aura, countless forms seemed to be contained, all of them demons, displaying agonized expressions and emitting roars of torment. Anyone who laid eyes upon this spectacle would inevitably feel a profound sense of chilling terror."It appears they utilize the demonic aura present here to sustain the Confinement Barrier. But why do they refrain from extracting this potent demonic aura?"Ye Mo inquired calmly."Descend and investigate!"The Wraith Demon Emperor urged."Very well!"To ensure his safety, Ye Mo also deployed the Solitary Darkness Cloak. His entire being then plunged directly downwards. It was a chasm that seemed to stretch into an abyss. Ye Mo was enveloped by the pervasive demonic aura, descending for several minutes before finally reaching the bottom."I must be approximately a thousand zhang beneath the surface by now!"Upon landing, Ye Mo discovered a colossal stone sealing a cave entrance before him. This stone possessed an elliptical shape, was pitch-black, adorned with innumerable carvings upon its surface, and its very material bore a resemblance to the staff of the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear.The staff of the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear itself was fashioned from the Yin Yang Infinity Rod, which in turn was crafted from the Yin Yang God Crystal.However, this immense stone seemed to possess an even greater purity."Ancient Yin Yang Divine Crystal!"The Wraith Demon’s voice carried a tremor of astonishment, "To be more precise, it should be the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. This magnet was retrieved from Divine Magnet Peak. In bygone days, the contention for Divine Magnet Peak resulted in a brutal conflict, claiming countless lives from powerhouses at the Divine Venerate Late Stage. The sole objective for everyone was the acquisition of the two Ancient Yin-Yang Magnets."The Wraith Demon Emperor exclaimed with evident excitement."Two Ancient Yin-Yang Magnets? What precisely constitutes this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet?"Ye Mo questioned, a sense of bewilderment clouding his mind."Based on your estimation, how heavy do you perceive the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet before you to be?"The Wraith Demon Emperor posed a mysterious question."The cave is emanating this demonic aura. Perhaps, in order to seal the demonic aura within, this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, despite being roughly my size, might possess a weight equivalent to that of a mountain."Ye Mo ventured a guess.This was purely his intuition. The Yin Yang Infinity Rod carried a weight comparable to a small mountain; otherwise, it would be incapable of launching a potent attack if it were too light. Consequently, the colossal Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet before him, utilized to seal this cave entrance, could not possibly be light."You are welcome to make an attempt!"The Wraith Demon Emperor revealed a sinister grin. A mountain? He considered Ye Mo’s assessment of the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet to be a gross understatement."Very well, I shall give it a try!"Ye Mo exerted a powerful shove, his expression registering a slight change as he discovered his inability to move the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet even infinitesimally. He was aware that his current combat prowess had ascended to the Sixth Soul of Divine Soul realm. With his full might, he could levitate and topple a colossal peak, yet this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet remained utterly immobile."There is no need to exert yourself further. The sheer weight of this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet is equivalent to a full-force strike from a powerhouse at the Divine Venerate Eight Souls stage. Unless your strength reaches the Divine Venerate Eight Souls level, you will be incapable of shifting it."The Wraith Demon Emperor’s declaration stunned Ye Mo. The immensity of the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet’s weight was truly astounding. He questioned why such a substantial divine magnet would be the subject of such fierce contention."You have yet to provide an answer. What precisely is this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, and what is its intended purpose?"Ye Mo inquired with a sense of urgency."This Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet is reputed to be the most formidable material in the mortal realm, celebrated for its indomitable defensive capabilities. No attack known can shatter this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. Even the most superior of Eternal Defensive Immortal Artifacts cannot compare in resilience.""Then, what is its practical application? Are we expected to employ this magnet for defensive purposes? When two powerful combatants engage in a celestial battle, it would hardly be convenient to keep this magnet levitating for defense."Ye Mo could not help but remark.
To maintain a magnet requiring a full-power strike from a Divine Venerate Eight Souls just to keep it floating for defense was no simple feat.
"Haha, if it were useless, how could it attract countless powerhouses to fight over it?"
The Wraith Demon Emperor chuckled, adding, "The Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet's true purpose isn't defense, but offense."
"Offense? And who could easily wield such a thing?" Ye Mo inquired.
Discarding such a colossal object, even a Divine Venerate Eight Souls powerhouse might be crushed, implying that any martial artist capable of effortlessly flinging the Yin Yang Magnet possessed strength far exceeding that of an ordinary Divine Venerate Eight Souls.
"Indeed, even a Divine Venerate Nine Souls powerhouse might struggle to wield this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. Actually, there are two parts, each representing Yin and Yang poles. Like poles repel, unlike poles attract, with one serving as the primary attack component and the other for main control."
Ye Mo nodded, grasping the Wraith Demon Emperor’s explanation, akin to how magnets interact. Yet, similar to the Heavenly Wall City situation, the concepts of 'main attack' and 'main control' remained unclear to him.
Could the control magnet manipulate the attack magnet? But the forces of repulsion and attraction are mutual. Ye Mo truly could not fathom the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet's purpose, its presence here, or the whereabouts of its counterpart.
"Furthermore, idle talk is futile. Demonic energy emanates from this cave, which is sealed by the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. We cannot breach it. If the demonic aura cannot be contained, they cannot shatter the Confinement Barrier."
Ye Mo's brow furrowed, his interest in the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet's origins waning. While his clone was safe within the barriers, Dantai Zanglian, Qin Yong, and Li Xiuyuan were also trapped. Should the Lord of Myriad Demons successfully advance to the Divine Venerate Eight Souls realm, all confined within would perish.
"Haha, you haven't heard the full account yet."
The Wraith Demon Emperor, displaying an unhurried demeanor, elaborated, "During the conflict long ago, Demon King Huang Tian obtained the main attacking Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, while I secured the main control Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet."
"What?"
Ye Mo was stunned; the other Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet was actually in the Wraith Demon Emperor's possession.
