The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1431 - 1432: Working Together as One

"Could he possibly be the heir of the Wraith Demon Emperor?"

Long Wanli's countenance was etched with sheer disbelief. These powerful leaders, once comrades who had faced peril alongside the Wraith Demon Emperor, would undoubtedly rally to Ye Mo's cause if his claim as the heir were true.

"Haha, that's preposterous! The Wraith Demon Emperor has been gone for millennia; how could he possibly have an heir?"

Fire Sky Venerate let out a scornful laugh. Having clashed with the Wraith Demon Emperor numerous times, he knew the latter had never taken any disciples.

"If you doubt my words, then witness the Wraith Demon Emperor's ultimate technique, the All-Spirit Soul-Locking Chain!"

Ye Mo's voice boomed as Tomb Dragon Power surged, manifesting as four interwoven chains. They formed a 'well' pattern, abruptly ensnaring Fire Sky Venerate.

This martial art was, in fact, a ruse taught by the Wraith Demon Emperor himself, designed to legitimize his heir status and rally his former allies. Without this, confronting Wang Mo Luo would have been a significantly daunting task.

Once his identity as the Wraith Demon Emperor's heir was revealed, it would surely spark widespread speculation: Is the Wraith Demon Emperor still alive?

"This is indeed the Wraith Demon Emperor's All-Spirit Soul-Locking Chain, one of his supreme skills."

"Precisely, only the Wraith Demon Emperor could execute such a technique; he must be the heir."

"So young, yet already capable of matching Fire Sky Venerate. Who else but the Wraith Demon Emperor could impart such profound knowledge to a genius?"

The leaders from prominent factions like Dragon Scale Valley, the Dark Palace, and the Light Divine Temple, upon witnessing this, affirmed Ye Mo as the Wraith Demon Emperor's rightful heir.

Fire Sky Venerate gazed at the chains binding him, his brow furrowed. He recognized the technique. Could Ye Mo truly be the heir?

"Dance, Dragon Fire!"

As the chains tightened, threatening to engulf him completely, Fire Sky Venerate abruptly grasped the All-Spirit Soul-Locking Chain. Instantly, flames erupted from the chains. Though solidified by Tomb Dragon Power, these chains incorporated intricate transformations, imbuing them with immense force. However, confronted by the dragon fire, Ye Mo felt the chains were on the verge of melting.

After all, he had only recently mastered it, and Fire Sky Venerate was remarkably skilled in fire-based cultivation techniques. Ye Mo hadn't anticipated the chains would inflict harm on Fire Sky Venerate.

"Hmph!"

With a swing of his staff, Fire Sky Venerate shattered the chains simultaneously.

"Since you all believe I am the Wraith Demon Emperor's heir, you shall obey my command."

Ye Mo remained unfazed. In a one-on-one duel, he could barely contend with Fire Sky Venerate. Now, victory against him could only be achieved by deploying the seal formation.

"Very well!"

The leaders of the major factions readily agreed.

"All disciples, take your positions in the sky, form the array, and exchange Wraith Energy!"

Ye Mo's command echoed loudly.

"What kind of formation is this?"

"Unknown, but as the Wraith Demon Emperor's heir, his methods are surely beyond our comprehension."

"All Dragon Scale Valley disciples, assume formation, exchange Wraith Energy."

"All Dark Palace disciples, assume formation, exchange Wraith Energy."

"All Light Divine Temple disciples, assume formation, exchange Wraith Energy."

"All Snow Mountain disciples, assume formation, exchange Wraith Energy."

...

Swiftly, the leaders of the various major factions issued their directives. All the disciples, numbering over five hundred in total, hovered in the air, their hands in motion. Each disciple's Wraith Energy interconnected, sketching out a colossal chessboard.

Within the confines of this chessboard, Fire Sky Venerate was also transformed into a mere chess piece.

This formation was originally conceived by the Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion and the God-Devouring Blood Tiger Clan to counter the Wraith Demon Emperor's Great Universal Demonic Extermination Array. Now, Ye Mo employed it against Fire Sky Venerate.

"Mere posturing; no matter their numbers, ants remain ants!"

Fire Sky Venerate dismissed the formation contemptuously, believing that even the most formidable array could not compare to his individual might. Regardless of how many 'ants' gathered, they would always be just that. He swung his staff once more, unleashing a torrent of flames that transformed into fiery dragons, assailing every disciple.

Panic flickered across the faces of the disciples as they beheld the approaching fire dragons.

"Disciples, do not falter. Maintain your positions and alter the formation."

Ye Mo's command came again.

"Roar!"

The disciples within the board shifted their formation once more, coalescing into a formidable 'Dragon-Slaying Momentum.' This instantly created a stalemate situation.

This time, Fire Sky Venerate began to take the situation seriously. He had never encountered such a formation style before. Despite the apparent weakness of the disciples, his attacks were utterly ineffective against them.

Even the disciples expressed surprise. Though they were at the Early Stage of the Divine Venerate realm, assaulting the Fire Sky Venerate without a strategy would be an act of suicide. However, by employing this formation, they managed to contain the Fire Sky Venerate, who was at the Eighth Soul stage of the Divine Venerate.

"Such a powerful formation; it doesn't originate from our Wraith Land."

"It can actually hold back the Fire Sky Venerate."

The Elder from the Dan Clan was equally astonished. Yet, they hesitated to aid the Fire Sky Venerate. Doing so would imply the Fire Sky Venerate was not enough, and clearly, he hadn't revealed his full strength yet, making the outcome uncertain.

"Disciples, maintain the formation, gather the Wraith Energy, and unleash a decisive strike upon the Fire Sky Venerate," Ye Mo commanded once more. This particular assault was derived from the Heaven Demon Grand Transformation technique within the Great Universal Demonic Extermination Array, although its complete efficacy was hampered by a lack of actual combat experience.

Without any delay, the disciples complied. The heavens began to churn with swirling clouds, and every disciple brandished their weapons, hurling them directly at the Fire Sky Venerate.

"World-Covering Divine Dragon Fire!"

The Fire Sky Venerate let out a sudden roar. The formation he wielded swept out with immense force, unleashing a torrent of scorching, destructive energy. Fiery streams, akin to dazzling fireworks, shot forth towards the array.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The flames streaked through the air, transforming into dragon fire that nearly engulfed the entire battlefield. Boom boom boom!

The formidable onslaughts met head-on, igniting a spectacular display with thunderous roars that seemed to tear the very heavens apart. The square belonging to the Dan Clan was instantly obliterated into fragments.

"Kill!"

This time, the disciples attacked with an involuntary ferocity; the prospect of clashing with a foe as mighty as a Divine Venerate at the Eighth Soul stage was an opportunity they had never even dreamed of in their lives.

The terrifying strikes managed to push back the Apocalypse Divine Dragon Fire unleashed by the Fire Sky Venerate. They struck his physical form, shattering his defenses and forcing him several paces back through the mid-air.

Internally, the Fire Sky Venerate was shocked by this reversal. Continuing to engage the formation offered no further advantage. He did not dare to remain, aware that Ye Mo, who had already demonstrated the capability to slay Jin Tianzun, had yet to make his move.

"Apocalypse Dragonfire Mountain!"

The Fire Sky Venerate moved again, conjuring a massive expanse of flames from his staff. This coalesced into a colossal flaming mountain suspended in the sky. Innumerable fire dragons appeared to coil around its peak, poised to crash down upon all the disciples.

Without a second thought, he propelled himself toward the distant horizon, vanishing in an instant like a fleeting shooting star.
