The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1407 - 1408: Moment of Madness

The breach that Ye Mo and his companions created was significantly wider than any caused by their previous combined efforts.

Astonished, everyone watched the scene unfold before instinctively launching a barrage of attacks at the opening.

"Blast it, how could Ye Mo know the barrier could be broken now?"

The Fox Demon's countenance shifted dramatically as he frantically gestured, drawing the residual demonic energy from beneath the earth towards the barrier.

Boom boom boom!

With each relentless assault, the opening expanded. Faces flushed with exertion, all attacked the barrier with desperation, widening the gap with every powerful blow.

A cracking sound echoed as the foot-thick barrier finally capitulated to the combined frantic assault, the entire entrapment formation collapsing completely.

"Haha, we're finally out!"

"We're saved."

A dozen or so Rogue Cultivators shouted with raw emotion, as if releasing pent-up fury and resentment. The exhilaration of their narrow escape from death was palpable.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, we should depart swiftly. This Myriad Demon Realm is far too perilous," Ye Mo urged. He was still in the process of absorbing the Demon Core, uncertain when or if he would achieve a breakthrough, leaving everything in a state of flux.

Therefore, leaving the Myriad Demon Realm seemed the most prudent course of action.

"Now that we have escaped, and the Lord of Myriad Demons has not yet advanced to Divine Venerate Eight Souls, perhaps we can attempt another strike. Observe, they are already heading towards the Lord's advancement point," Zang Lian noted.

Indeed, those Rogue Cultivators and the disciples of the Dead Soul Royal Family were all converging towards the distant thunder and lightning, seemingly intent on confronting the Lord of Myriad Demons once more.

This resolve was even more potent now, fueled by the Lord of Myriad Demons' previous scheme against them. With the Lord undergoing a true transcendence, this was their opportune moment, or they would lose any chance to eliminate him and seize the Myriad Demon's Fire.

Greed once again propelled them into a frenzy.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, while the Myriad Demon's Fire is valuable, it is insignificant compared to your lives. Was the previous ordeal not a sufficient lesson? While the Dead Soul Royal Family and the Lord's Four Great Protectors are occupied, we should make our escape from the Myriad Demon Realm immediately," Ye Mo pleaded anxiously.

"Ye Mo, I recognize your concern. Today, even at the risk of my life, I must obtain the Myriad Demon's Fire," Dantai Zanglian declared. Disregarding Ye Mo and the other two, she surged forward in the direction of the Lord's celestial trial.

"Ye Mo, we appreciate your concern," Qin Yong said, placing a hand on Ye Mo's shoulder, moved by his words, and followed Dantai Zanglian.

"If you deem it too perilous, you are free to leave!" Li Xiuyuan also stated, before falling into step behind the others.

Ye Mo watched their retreating figures with a wry smile, commenting, "It makes me appear like a coward, though it truly is dangerous."

"Ah well, after all, this is merely my energy clone. I shall endeavor to protect them should the critical moment arise," Ye Mo mused, shaking his head before following them.

Far off in the void, ominous dark clouds began to gather, coalescing into a swirling vortex that exuded an immense pressure. Below, the onlookers could discern a colossal mountain peak, shrouded in dense demonic energy, with a faint silhouette visible within.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning, like a rapier, sliced through the dense clouds, striking the figure with formidable force.

All the hidden Martial Artists held their breath, their gazes fixed upon the distant figure, a sense of suffocation gripping them, preventing any advancement. Despite the Lord of Myriad Demons undergoing his transcendence, the preceding events made them hesitant to act rashly.

"Die!"

At that precise moment, the Four Great Protectors of the Lord materialized, their hands sweeping out in a decisive gesture, striking at the Rogue Cultivators.

Boom!

This single strike annihilated their physical forms. The Protectors then declared, "You would be wise to depart while you still can, for once the Lord successfully completes his advancement, it will be too late for any of you to escape."

"Haha, everyone, we were born and battled within that trapping barrier. Today, we were schemed against by the Lord of Myriad Demons. Why don't we first eliminate these four, and then collectively assault the Lord? As for the Myriad Demon's Fire, the old adage applies: to each according to their capability," the leading master of the Divine Venerate Seven Souls declared grandly.

"Haha, you lot of ants, dreaming of defeating this king! Four Great Protectors, keep them occupied for a moment, and I shall demonstrate the might of Divine Venerate Eight Souls!"

Boom!

The pronouncements of the Divine Venerate Seven Souls master had barely concluded when a potent and terrifying voice reverberated from the demonic peak. This voice bore no resemblance to a demon's, but rather echoed the guttural speech of a colossal beast.

Waves of sound, immense and fierce, emanated from the Lord of Myriad Demons' body as he transcended, exuding a wild and untamed momentum.

"This is the might of the peak Divine Venerable Seven Souls; one step closer and he'll reach Divine Venerate Eight Souls. He's too powerful."

Ye Mo raised his hands to shield his face from the strong winds.

Boom!

Following this declaration, a crimson light burst forth from the Lord of Myriad Demons, streaking into the heavens and shattering the thick black clouds above.

The sky's Transcendence Skylines were actually torn asunder by the crimson pillar of light erupting from the Lord's form.

A terrifying surge of demonic energy swept through the entire area, causing shockwaves.

The overwhelming demonic energy coalesced into a colossal storm around the Lord, creating a truly spectacular sight.

"It’s too late; we must first eliminate the Four Great Protectors, and then we will jointly confront the Lord of Myriad Demons."

A Loose Cultivator, who was a Divine Venerable Seven Souls expert, bellowed and swung a great blade. The blade's light flashed as another Divine Venerable Seven Souls Loose Cultivator launched a devastating attack, their combined might aimed at the Four Great Protectors.

The Four Great Protectors understood their insurmountable disadvantage against such a multitude of powerful opponents, especially with two Divine Venerable Seven Souls experts amongst them. Their only recourse was to join forces in defense.

Wow!

Despite their tenacious efforts, the Four Great Protectors could only hold their ground for a fleeting moment before being violently repelled, their breaths shallow and ragged. They gazed at the Loose Cultivators, erupting into wild laughter, proclaiming, "The Lord will surely avenge us!"

"Demon Core, lend us your strength, we sacrifice ourselves!"

The four moved their hand seals in unison, their bodies rapidly swelling as if inflated.

"Not good; they intend to sacrifice their power to the Lord of Myriad Demons!"

Upon witnessing this, Ao Yuntian immediately grasped their desperate ploy. Realizing victory was impossible and facing certain demise, they chose to offer their strength to aid the Lord's successful advancement.
