Qin Yong recounts the past, revealing Dantai Zanglian's love for Dantai Qingyi and her subsequent attempt to save him from the Soul Silkworm Curse. Meanwhile, Ye Mo races to Dantai Zanglian's location, arriving to find Li Xiuyuan dead and Dantai Zanglian gravely injured. Ye Mo unleashes his power, swiftly killing a Wraith Clan disciple and confronting Ao Yuntian.

"Precisely who are you? How did your strength escalate so terrifyingly?"

Ao Zi’s voice quivered slightly, clearly unsettled by the power Ye Mo had just unleashed. Previously, his energy clone was merely capable of reaching the level of an ordinary Divine Venerable Six Souls.

"Ao Zi, I’ve dispatched numerous princes from your Dead Soul Royal Family. Surely you haven’t forgotten me?"

As Ye Mo uttered these words, the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear was already firmly in his grasp.

"I recognize this weapon. Last time, in the Vanquishing Martial Realm, the individual who almost ended my life was none other than you—Ye Mo, the slayer of ten princes from my Dead Soul Royal Family."

Disbelief and rage saturated Ao Zi’s tone.

It was this very individual before him who had caused him to face punishment from Ao Canngwu and led to the crushing defeat of their Dead Soul Royal Family in the Vanquishing Martial Realm.

Now, upon their reunion, Ye Mo’s might had ascended to an overwhelming height, far beyond their capacity to resist. This man was a true anomaly, a force that even Xue Wudi would find challenging to contend with.

"Ao Zi, I failed to eliminate you last time. This time, let’s see who can intervene to save you. Today marks your inevitable demise."

Ye Mo’s declaration was laced with a potent, almost palpable killing intent. He himself was uncertain of the full extent of his current power.

By assimilating the Demon Core of Demon King Huang Tian, he had effectively absorbed the entirety of the Demon King’s lifelong cultivation. The Tomb Dragon Power had surged, awakening five hundred million units, signifying that half of its strength was now unleashed. His combat prowess had consequently reached the level of an ordinary Divine Venerate Eight Souls. With the addition of the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, even the Lord of Myriad Demons would be no match for him.

If, in the past, Ye Mo was a mere genius overlooked by most, he now stood fully empowered, his wings spread wide. Barring someone of Ao Canngwu’s stature, few could hope to defeat him easily.

Previously, he harbored fears of his identity being exposed, but now, he could act with impunity. No one posed a threat to him.

The individuals before him were trivial; he could vanquish them effortlessly. However, his primary objective was to draw out the Lord of Myriad Demons. Demon King Huang Tian had entrusted him with the sacred duty of avenging him by slaying Yao Tian, a task he would fulfill regardless of the cost.

Ao Zi’s gaze remained fixed upon Ye Mo, his eyes bloodshot like those of a cornered beast. He had never anticipated Ye Mo’s strength would escalate to such formidable proportions.

Nevertheless, the greater Ye Mo’s power, the more significant the reward for his demise would be.

Rather than succumbing to anger, he let out a laugh, his facial features contorting with an inexpressible sense of smugness. "Ye Mo, do you truly believe that a mere increase in your strength allows you to dominate everything?"

"Let me be unequivocal: I can easily summon the Supreme Elder of my clan to eliminate you. With your current intensified power, if I succeed in slaying you and present your head to my father, I will undoubtedly capture his attention and secure my position as the Clan Leader of the Dead Soul Royal Family, thereby ascending to the zenith of the Wraith Land."

Ao Zi guffawed, then bellowed, "Lord of Myriad Demons, this individual before us is the very person my father has long sought to eliminate. Should you bring about his demise and present his head to my father, immense rewards shall be yours."

He refrained from deploying his ultimate trump card—summoning the Supreme Elder—until the critical juncture. In his estimation, the Lord of Myriad Demons, having recently attained the Divine Venerate Eight Souls realm, possessed power even exceeding that of an initial Divine Venerate Eight Souls cultivator and was fully capable of subduing Ye Mo. Furthermore, the Lord of Myriad Demons undoubtedly recognized Ye Mo’s latent potential and would not let such a threat escape.

"Who exactly is this Ye Mo that commands such focused attention from the Soul Master?"

The figure of the Lord of Myriad Demons materialized once more, his gaze fixed on Ye Mo with an air of composure. He discerned that Ye Mo’s martial cultivation was merely at the Divine Venerable Five Souls stage, yet judging by his prior performance, his true might unequivocally resided at the Divine Venerable Seven Souls level.

"He is a prodigy hailing from the Lingwu Continent, and moreover, he absconded with my father’s Soul Riding Heavenly Lion. Two years ago, during my encounter with him in the Vanquishing Martial Realm, his cultivation was merely at the peak of the Wheel of Reincarnation, not even achieving the Half Honor realm."

Ao Zi disclosed.

"What? He hadn’t even attained Half Honor? And within a mere two years, he has cultivated to such a terrifying degree of strength?"

"Even Xue Wudi did not exhibit such monstrous growth. If he is allowed to cultivate for another two years, who within the Wraith Land could possibly pose a threat to him?"

"Such a prodigious talent represents an immense peril to our Dead Soul Royal Family."

Several disciples of the Dead Soul Royal Family exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and alarm.

"I comprehend. A genius of this caliber is indeed formidable. Even I feel a sense of threat emanating from him; thus, you would be wise to remain here permanently!"

The Lord of Myriad Demons materialized directly before Ye Mo.

"Do you truly believe you can detain me here?"

Ye Mo clenched his fists, the sounds of cracking and snapping echoing as immense power surged wildly within them.

4Do you think you can defeat me with your strength?4

The Lord of Myriad Demons smirked disdainfully: 4Your natural talents are indeed astonishing. Even the Wraith Demon Emperor and Ao Canngwu of old probably weren’t like you. If you were to cultivate for a few more years, there would be few who could defeat you in the Wraith Land, but now, you have no chance. I will kill you, absorb all your cultivation, and solidify my Divine Venerate Eight Souls strength.4

4Fury of the Demon Wolf!4

The Lord of Myriad Demons shouted, and the demonic aura around him blasted like thunder towards the sky, forming a massive flaming demonic wolf. The flaming wolf seemed to have connected with the power of Heaven and Earth, roaring in anger as it pounced directly at Ye Mo.

4I have just ascended to Divine Venerate Eight Souls and haven’t used my true power yet. I want to see how much of my power you can force out.4

The Lord of Myriad Demons displayed absolute confidence on his face.

He believed Ye Mo’s combat power was amazing, but definitely not to his level. He had never heard of anyone at Divine Venerable Five Souls challenging Divine Venerate Eight Souls and succeeding.

4Haha, Demon Blood Sky, do you know why I could improve to this extent?4

Ye Mo also laughed loudly and said: 4Do you remember disguising as the Wraith Demon Emperor and framing the Demon King back then?4

4You? Did you obtain Huang Tian’s Demon Core?4

The Lord of Myriad Demons’ face displayed overwhelming incredulity, mixed with even more intense anger. He had long planned; once he ascended to Divine Venerate Eight Souls, he could remove the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet, obtain the Demon Core, and directly break through to Divine Venerate Nine Souls.

Yet, the Demon Core had been taken by Ye Mo.

4Correct, and Huang Tian also told me to kill you, the fratricidal traitor.4

Ye Mo said calmly.

4You really absorbed Huang Tian’s Demon Core? Die, die now. You must not have fully absorbed it yet. I will completely kill you and extract the Dantian from your body.4

The Lord of Myriad Demons’ face finally twisted, roaring in fury.

The flaming demonic wolf sprinted through the void, burning the space apart as it lunged directly at Ye Mo.
