The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1404 - 1405: Refining the Divine Magnet
Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
Ye Mo was utterly dumbfounded by the Wraith Demon Emperor’s revelation. It was no wonder the emperor had been so composed—the other half of the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet was actually in his possession.
"Emperor Tian’s might was only slightly inferior to my own. With my strength back then, I could have seized both halves of the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. I was only at Divine Venerate Seven Souls then, yet numerous Divine Venerate Eight Souls cultivators joined forces to fight me, causing me to lose one piece."
To have been besieged by more than a dozen Divine Venerate Eight Souls cultivators when he was merely at Divine Venerate Seven Souls was truly an astonishing feat.
"Originally, my plan was to seek out Emperor Tian and negotiate a deal. However, unforeseen circumstances intervened."
The Wraith Demon Emperor sighed softly, explaining, "The main-controlling Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet requires refinement before one can wield the main-attacking Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. Upon refining it, one’s own body becomes the magnet, allowing for the free manipulation of the yin and yang poles without external attraction or repulsion. Emperor Tian and I had an agreement: whoever successfully refined the main-controlling Yin-Yang Divine Magnet would claim it. Alas, neither of us succeeded, and we each ended up with one piece."
"Neither of you could refine the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet?" Ye Mo inquired.
One a Demon King, the other a Demon Emperor; both were apex powerhouses within Wraith Land, yet they were incapable of refining this artifact. Was the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet truly that formidable?
"Initially, we assumed refining the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet would be simple. We were gravely mistaken. This Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet was once a singular Divine Magnet, broken into two pieces only later. It was originally a Divine Magnet used to seal a rift in the Lingwu Continent. A Divine Magnet capable of mending the continent’s very fabric is simply beyond the capabilities of cultivators like us," the Wraith Demon Emperor stated.
Despite their formidable strength, cultivated within the mortal realm, they were still unable to transcend it. Attempting to refine the Divine Magnet was thus an impossible endeavor.
"Ye Mo, perhaps you possess the potential to refine this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. I’ve witnessed you overcome countless impossibilities, turning them into reality. You should endeavor to try. Should you succeed in refining it and gain control, you could obliterate an ordinary Divine Venerate Seven Souls expert with a single blow. Facing a Divine Venerate Late Stage while being at Divine Venerate Early Stage, Xue Wudi would be less than a fart before you."
As the Wraith Demon Emperor concluded, a flash of black light illuminated Ye Mo’s vision, and a colossal magnetic stone materialized before him. The moment this stone appeared, the obstacle blocking the cave entrance vibrated, as if recognizing a long-lost beloved.
"Is this the main-controlling Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet?"
Ye Mo gazed at the magnetic stone, his eyes gleaming with intense desire. If he could refine this artifact, he could wield its reciprocal forces to freely control the other Yin-Yang Divine Magnet. He could only imagine the devastating impact of unleashing a Yin-Yang Divine Magnet blow equivalent to a full-power strike from a Divine Venerate Eight Souls expert.
"Ye Mo, quickly drip your essence blood onto the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. If your blood can meld with it, you’ll have a significant chance of refining it," the Wraith Demon Emperor advised.
Complying with the Wraith Demon Emperor’s words, Ye Mo nodded and placed a drop of his essence blood onto the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet.
However, Ye Mo’s essence blood did not seamlessly integrate with the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. This outcome greatly surprised the Wraith Demon Emperor. Could it be that this artifact was truly unrefinable?
"My essence blood contains the Dragon God's bloodline, True Dragon Blood. Even if it appears incompatible, it's not that the Dragon Blood cannot merge, but rather that it disdains merging with the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet," Ye Mo mused internally. He recalled how the Dragon God had once dripped a drop of golden blood, which had directly fused into his own bloodline, awakening the Ten Dragon Patterns.
"Perhaps I should just devour it directly!"
Ye Mo’s mouth gaped open, and he directly swallowed the main controlling Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet into his very being. The Wraith Demon Emperor watched, utterly stunned, as this happened. He actually ingested the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet whole? "Ye Mo, what an impulsive decision!" the Wraith Demon Emperor exclaimed with urgency. "You must understand the sheer magnitude of the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. By consuming it, you've essentially taken in a colossal Energy Center. Your body is simply not equipped to handle such a burden." "Back when I refined the Heart of the Continent, I also absorbed it directly. While the Heart of the Continent might not equate to the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet in power, my current strength has grown considerably. As for whether I can refine it, only a trial will tell!" Ye Mo stated. Ye Mo knew that to successfully refine this Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, he needed to completely deplete its inherent power. Only then could the refinement be achieved. Fortunately, he was positioned at the cave's entrance. Though obstructed, the potent demonic aura that escaped was still formidable. In Ye Mo's perception, this locale was already a boundless sea of Energy Center, and he was immersed within it. With great speed, Ye Mo activated the Rising Dragon Pillar. The surrounding demonic aura, akin to a gravitational pull, surged relentlessly into Ye Mo's body. This influx of demonic aura was then meticulously controlled and compressed by Ye Mo before being unleashed in a sudden detonation. Boom! Boom! The terrifying eruption of Energy Center caused the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet to quiver incessantly, and Ye Mo's physical form endured what felt like ceaseless explosions. Boom! Boom! Boom! Ye Mo detonated the amassed demonic aura within his body repeatedly. The Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet began to disintegrate in an astonishing manner, fracturing into massive shards. These large fragments were subsequently shattered further. Through these successive detonations, the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet was reduced to near-complete powder, integrating seamlessly into his flesh and blood. Ye Mo's body sustained immense damage. Despite this, Ye Mo initiated the circulation of Sun Light, leveraging his exceptionally resilient physique. For any ordinary individual, an Energy Center explosion of this magnitude would undoubtedly have disintegrated their body, annihilating even their soul. Unbeknownst to him, through the arduous process of refining the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, Ye Mo's physical prowess ascended to an entirely new echelon. Both his bones and flesh achieved an unparalleled toughness, at least doubling their previous strength. Now, even if an expert at the Divine Venerate Seven Souls level were to strike Ye Mo with an Immortal Artifact, it might prove insufficient to inflict harm. Naturally, the significant enhancement in Ye Mo's defense was directly attributable to the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. Having transformed into fine powder, it had completely merged with his very being. It could be asserted that Ye Mo had indeed refined the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet; he had, in essence, become one with it. The Wraith Demon Emperor keenly observed this transformation and found it utterly unbelievable. He pondered the extraordinary nature of Ye Mo, who had not only ingested the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, crucial for mending the Lingwu Continent's schism, but had also succeeded in refining it.
