The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1406 - 1407: Critical Situation

"Wang Qianmo, what about you? Why are you occupying this kid’s body?" Emperor Tian immediately sensed that the Wraith Demon Emperor had to be within Ye Mo. "Now, these two peerless martial artists, who once shared a bond as close as brothers, are faced with spirits of desolation in their current predicaments."

"Ah, let’s not even bring it up. I was foolish enough to be defeated by Ao Cangwu back then, which directly tore open a rift in the continent, leading me to the Lingwu Continent. By sheer chance, I encountered this young man. Initially, my intention was to end his life, but who would have thought I’d be tricked by him and end up sucked into the Devil Refining Gourd," the Wraith Demon Emperor recounted.

"What do you mean 'tricked by me'?" Ye Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Haha, it appears this kid is quite remarkable to have captured your attention," Emperor Tian chuckled.

"Naturally, he's something else. It was he who moved the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet that was blocking your cave entrance, and he has already successfully refined that piece of Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet," the Wraith Demon Emperor stated.

"What? He refined the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet?" Emperor Tian’s gaze fell upon Ye Mo with shock, seemingly unable to comprehend that the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, which even the two of them had failed to refine, had been mastered by him.

"Otherwise, with his current strength, there’s no way he could have possibly moved that piece of Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet," the Wraith Demon Emperor explained.

"The new generation truly surpasses the old." Emperor Tian shook his head with a sense of helplessness.

Ye Mo stood to the side, remaining silent, allowing the Wraith Demon Emperor and Emperor Tian to continue their exchange. The two conversed for close to half an hour.

Suddenly, Ye Mo’s expression shifted, and he declared, "Damn it, the Lord of Myriad Demons is about to ascend!"

"My brother is ascending? To what level has he reached now?" Emperor Tian inquired with surprise.

"The Myriad Demon Realm has already begun to undergo changes. He is very likely to break through to the Divine Venerate Eight Souls stage, and all the martial artists who came to assassinate him are now trapped in the canyon above." Ye Mo’s energy clone was on the surface, and naturally, he possessed clear knowledge of the situation above. Despite over thirty cultivators launching full-force assaults, they were unable to breach the Confinement Barrier and were already in dire straits.

"What? Breakthrough to Divine Venerate Eight Souls? If he achieves the Divine Venerate Eight Souls stage, he will likely surge here immediately, dislodge the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, not only seize my Demon Core but also leave my Soul Body defenseless." Emperor Tian’s brow furrowed. The four demonic wolves encountered earlier were positioned by Emperor Tian specifically to deal with the Lord of Myriad Demons.

"Tian, do you consider me a brother?" the Wraith Demon Emperor asked.

"Naturally!" Emperor Tian affirmed with a nod.

"Your body has already been annihilated. Revival is impossible for you. Instead of letting that Demon Core fall into the hands of Demonic Blood Sky, it would be far better to bestow it upon this young man before us," the Wraith Demon Emperor proposed.

"Give it to him?" Emperor Tian raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting towards Ye Mo.

...

Above the tomb, within the canyon. More than thirty individuals found themselves ensnared within the Confinement Barrier, their faces etched with anxiety. They could distinctly feel the tremendous tremors from a distance, acutely aware that the Lord of Myriad Demons was on the cusp of undergoing his heavenly tribulation, an event accompanied by immense momentum.

"Haha, cultivators, prepare to meet your demise. Once our master ascends to the Divine Venerate Eight Souls stage, he shall vanquish each and every one of you." The Fox Demon guffawed with great amusement.

"Damn it all, what are we going to do? We're on the verge of death."

"If only I had known, I should never have ventured into the Myriad Demon Realm."

"I don't wish to perish; I want to escape; let me out!" Several rogue cultivators, having reached the Divine Venerate Six Souls stage, began to desperately strike the Confinement Barrier, overwhelmed by despair. They had dedicated over ten thousand years to their cultivation, painstakingly ascending to the Divine Venerate Six Souls level, establishing themselves as supreme beings wherever they went. All factions regarded them with reverence, akin to deities, yet here they were, confined within this barrier, awaiting their doom.

Had they been granted another choice, they would have unequivocally refrained from entering the Myriad Demon Realm in pursuit of the Myriad Demon’s Fire harbored by the Lord.

The two masters who had reached the Divine Venerate Seven Souls stage wore particularly grim expressions. Their sole viable strategy at this juncture was to attempt an escape amidst the pandemonium that would ensue when the Lord of Myriad Demons descended and the barrier was temporarily breached.

"Young clan master, what course of action should we take? Do you not possess the jade scroll? You could summon the Supreme Elder from the clan. Once they are summoned, even the Lord of Myriad Demons would not dare to lay a hand on you," Ao Yuntian suggested.

"I still don’t want my father to know I’ve come to the Myriad Demon Realm, so unless it’s a critical moment, I won’t summon the Supreme Elder from the clan. Let’s assess the situation first."

Ao Zi’s brows were tightly furrowed. Although not fearing the Lord of Myriad Demons, he didn’t want to alarm the Soul Master. If the Soul Master found out he was in danger again and summoned the Supreme Elder to help, he would surely get a scolding once more.

"Zang Lian Sister, what should we do now?"

Qin Yong asked.

"It’s all my fault. Turns out Junior Brother Ye Xiao had already seen that this was an illusion."

Now, due to her selfishness, all four of them might fall in the Myriad Demon Realm.

The two from the Loulan Clan had already turned pale with fear, not daring to speak.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, don’t blame yourself. Let’s wait a while longer, maybe we will have an opportunity to escape."

Ye Mo said.

"A chance to escape?"

Li Xiuyuan was puzzled.

"Just wait a while longer!"

Ye Mo was also very anxious. Demon King Emperor Tian had already agreed to give him the Demon Core. Now the demonic aura was being collected under his control, directly cutting it off, so the Confinement Barrier couldn’t stop them.

"Now’s the time!"

Ye Mo’s energy clone stood up and shouted, "Everyone, waiting here is a waste of time. Let’s give it one more try, with all our strength."

"Haha, however many times you try, it’s futile. Better save your energy."

The Fox Demon’s expression also subtly changed. They were one of the four maintaining the formation and naturally knew that the demonic aura below had completely disappeared. Although clueless about why, this time, when the thirty-plus people attacked again with full strength, the Confinement Barrier would surely be broken.

At that moment, not only would the four of them be affected, but even the Lord’s ascension would be disturbed.

"It’s you again, boy. We can’t possibly break the Confinement Barrier. Better conserve strength."

Said one of the disciples of the Dead Soul Clan.

"He’s right. The Lord of Myriad Demons is probably ascending now. Let’s save our strength to escape later."

Another person agreed.

"It seems these people won’t act. Senior Sister Zang Lian, Senior Brothers Qin Yong and Li Xiuyuan, let’s attack with all our might, trust me."

Ye Mo said earnestly.

"Alright!"

Dantai Zanglian and the others all nodded, and the four of them immediately floated in midair, summoning their Immortal Artifacts. Whipping winds gathered, they concentrated their attacks at one point and struck.

Bang!

This blow didn’t attract much attention, instead drawing ridicule and contempt. In their eyes, if the thirty-plus of them attacking with full strength only managed to create some cracks, how could the four of them possibly break through the Confinement Barrier?

"A bunch of idiots."

Ao Zi ridiculed as he watched Ye Mo and the others, but when he looked at the barrier, his expression suddenly froze.

"It’s—it’s breaking open!"

Suddenly, someone shouted. Everyone turned their eyes to the spot where Ye Mo and the others had attacked. The barrier was indeed cracking, with a massive opening, and the cracks spread outward.
