The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1405 - 1406: Demon King Huang Tian

"Ye Mo, did you truly succeed in refining the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet?" the Wraith Demon Emperor inquired with utter astonishment.
"I believe so!" Ye Mo replied, nodding. He wasn't entirely certain, as his refinement of the Heart of the Continent fragment had followed a similar process.
"In that case, why don’t you attempt to control the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet blocking the cave entrance?" The Wraith Demon Emperor suggested with palpable excitement, eager to witness the sheer power of the artifact.
Ye Mo agreed, instinctively drawing a breath towards the colossal Magnet. It began to shift sluggishly. As Ye Mo intensified his effort, the Magnet accelerated its movement, eventually halting directly before him.
"I barely exerted any strength, yet I managed to attract the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet?" Ye Mo expressed his shock. This was an object that even the combined might of the Divine Venerate Eight Souls couldn’t budge, and he had effortlessly drawn it to himself.
"During the process of attracting it, your intent and the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet aligned. If you were to unleash your full power without proper control, the magnet could very well crush you." Upon hearing the Wraith Demon Emperor’s words, Ye Mo simply rolled his eyes, acknowledging the grim truth. While he hadn't applied much force, a full-powered, uncontrolled exertion might indeed lead to his demise.
Naturally, where there is attraction, repulsion follows. Ye Mo gave a gentle push, and their forces reversed, propelling the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet forward.
"Haha, with my current might, even opponents at the ordinary Divine Venerate Seven Souls level might not stand a chance against me when wielding the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet," Ye Mo declared, his voice brimming with triumphant excitement.
"Who is this powerful outsider capable of moving the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet?" At that precise moment, a deep male voice emanated from within the cave.
"There's someone else?" Ye Mo's brow furrowed. He swiftly concealed the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet and stepped into the cave’s interior.
Upon entering, Ye Mo found himself standing before a colossal, hundred-foot-tall Wolf Demon Stone Statue. As he emerged from its gaping mouth, he observed the statue pounding its chest. Before him lay an expansive ancient tomb, its perimeter defined by walls intricately decorated with numerous Wolf Demon effigies.
"Divine Venerate Three Souls?" a voice echoed in surprise, recognizing Ye Mo's power level. It was clear that someone at the Divine Venerate Three Souls stage would be incapable of moving the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet.
"Who are you?" Ye Mo scanned his surroundings, discerning no visible presence.
"Judging by the voice, it must be Emperor Tian. Allow me to handle this matter!" the Wraith Demon Emperor announced. He enveloped Ye Mo in a surge of Wraith Energy, coalescing into his spectral form. "Old friend, it has been quite some time."
"What old friend?" Ye Mo was taken aback, realizing that Demon King Huang Tian and the Wraith Demon Emperor were acquainted. This revelation somewhat eased his apprehension.
"Wang Qianmo, I shall put you to death!" The Wraith Demon Emperor's appearance, far from calming the situation, instead incensed the disembodied voice. All the Wolf Demon statues lining the walls appeared to awaken, their eyes glowing ominously and stone fragments flaking off.
"This is a grand feast I had prepared for Demonic Blood Sky. Since you are here, allow me to offer you a taste of it!" As the voice concluded, Ye Mo felt the very ground beneath him tremble violently. He understood that the colossal Wolf Demon he stood within was fully coming to life.
"Break through!" the Wraith Demon Emperor commanded, plunging into the tomb, with Ye Mo in close pursuit. The four gargantuan Wolf Demons encircling them were now fully reanimated, roaring ferociously as they launched themselves at the Wraith Demon Emperor.
"Emperor Tian, what is afflicting you?" the Wraith Demon Emperor inquired, his brow furrowed. Something must have transpired; otherwise, Emperor Tian would not be found within this tomb.
"Wang Qianmo, you dare inquire about my plight? If it weren't for your actions, why would I be reduced to this state?" Emperor Tian bellowed, unleashing a devastating blow: "Demon Wolf Battle Technique, Overturn the Unbreakable Mountain!"
The Wraith Demon Emperor deftly evaded the onslaught from the Wolf Demons, retorting, "Emperor Tian, it would be best if you emerged and conversed with me directly, or I shall proceed to dismantle your four Wolf Demons."
"See if you possess the audacity to try!" Emperor Tian's voice boomed once more.
"Hmph!" Observing that reasoning had proven futile, the Wraith Demon Emperor sensed the futility of further discourse and unleashed a powerful swing of his arm.
Swish, swish, swish!
The Wraith Demon Emperor's energy clone fractured, materializing into sixteen radiant purple chains. These chains pierced through the void like streaks of starlight, impaling the four Wolf Demons through their shoulders and legs, pinning them immovably against the wall.
"Damn it, your All-Spirit Soul-Locking Chain is exceedingly potent! Show yourself if you dare, instead of cowering like a coward behind an energy clone," Emperor Tian roared, his voice laced with fury.
"Esteemed Emperor Tian, I believe there has been a misunderstanding between you two," Ye Mo interjected. "The Wraith Demon Emperor is not physically present at this moment, but you are welcome to converse with him whenever you wish."
"A misunderstanding? Back then, had he not betrayed me, how could I have been slain by Demonic Blood Sky? Consequently, I ended up fleeing to the Demon Mausoleum, where I used the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet to seal the cave entrance."
Emperor Tian responded.
"Emperor Tian, during my battle with Ao Canngwu, I was defeated and cast into the Lingwu Continent. It was only recently that I returned to the Wraith Land and haven't seen you since; how could I possibly have betrayed you?"
The Wraith Demon Emperor's voice resonated from within the Devil Refining Gourd.
"What do you mean? You fought Ao Canngwu and were sent to the Lingwu Continent? Then, who impersonated you?"
Emperor Tian’s shock quickly turned to realization as he exclaimed, "Demonic Blood Sky must have mastered the Demon Clan’s supreme martial technique and their transformation abilities. Curse it, why didn't I consider this possibility?"
"Emperor Tian, what exactly transpired? How did you end up trapped here?"
The Wraith Demon Emperor inquired.
"I had learned of your defeat by Ao Canngwu ages ago. I believed you had reappeared after a millennium and proposed that we join forces to confront Ao Canngwu. My intention was to fight Ao Canngwu, knowing I couldn't defeat him alone, so I agreed to cooperate with you. However, you betrayed me. You damaged my Demon Core, which reduced my cultivation significantly, allowing Demonic Blood Sky to shatter my physical body. I narrowly escaped into the Demon Mausoleum with only my Demon Core."
Emperor Tian spoke with immense fury. A spectral figure materialized before Ye Mo; it was slender, clad in crimson robes, possessed long white hair, two wolf ears, and strikingly handsome facial features.
"Ah, your brother is indeed ruthless."
The Wraith Demon Emperor sighed.
"He would resort to any means to become the Lord of Myriad Demons. However, his cultivation talent is far too low to move the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet. If it weren't for that, he would have surely stolen my Demon Core and instantly boosted his power to the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations."
Emperor Tian stated.
The Demon Core represents the pinnacle of a demon's lifelong cultivation, embodying all their inherent power. The pervasive demonic energy within the mausoleum originated from Emperor Tian’s Demon Core.
For precisely this reason, the Lord of Myriad Demons had erected a Seal Formation within the canyon situated directly above the mausoleum.
