The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

“To be able to dispel my Will of the Lascivious Sword, what talent!” Xiaoyao Meiqi gasped. “Such powerful willpower at such a young age. Ruining a talented person’s future is what I like to do the most!”

Xiaoyao Meiqi kicked the ground and jumped towards Ye Mo. The purple sword came down in an arc, aiming at Ye Mo’s head.

Ye Mo steadied the Formation-Breaking Spear on top of his head and took the sword head on. As soon as the sword came in contact with the spear, a gush of energy spread through Ye Mo’s body. It was so powerful that the Dragon Blood that was protecting his body vibrated from the impact.

An Energy Shaping Second Realm warrior could send shockwaves of energy through their attacks. Even if Xiaoyao Meiqi was still a First Realm warrior, she was still able to cause minor shockwaves.

One hit was enough to break the wooden ground Ye Mo was standing on, and he dropped into the room below them.

One man and one lady were having fun on the bed when Ye Mo came crashing down. The man almost cursed but quickly caught on to the situation and hid under the blanket.

Ye Mo raised his head and saw Xiaoyao Meiqi jumping down from the hole she made. He quickly took out the Heavenly Frost Charm and threw it towards Xiaoyao Meiqi.

“A gift!” Ye Mo shouted.

“A charm?” Xiaoyao Meiqi gasped, and her face darkened.

Xiaoyao Meiqi could feel the air around her getting colder even when the charm hadn’t yet released its full power.

The Dragon Energy had increased the charm’s effect to its maximum potential. The Heavenly Frost Charm exploded, and a whirlwind of blizzards blew through the whole hotel.

The couple that was in the room died instantly from the cold. Xiaoyao Meiqi’s movement had slowed down as her energy began to freeze.

Ye Mo jumped back into the room they were in before. He took the Cursed Pearl that was under the bed and left abruptly.

Half of the hotel was covered in ice from Ye Mo’s charm attack.

A few minutes after Ye Mo had left, a girl jumped through the hotel’s roof and landed. Her gown and hair were dripping wet from the melted ice. Xiaoyao Meiqi could still feel the cold from the charm as she cursed. “Ye Mo! I’ll burn you to ashes!”

Ye Mo escaped back to the inn where Cai Ling was waiting for him. His face was already as pale as a ghost.

“What power!” Ye Mo coughed. If not for the Dragon Blood protecting him, Ye Mo would’ve died from Xiaoyao Meiqi’s Vibration Force.

Cai Ling could feel something was off from Ye Mo’s breathing, and drops of blood could be seen on Ye Mo’s lips.

“Did you get it?” Cai Ling asked.

“Yes, I got the pearl,” Ye Mo said. “But Xiaoyao Meiqi has ordered to shut the whole city down. It’ll be hard for us to get out of here.”

Ye Mo sat down and chucked a few refined Energy Recovery Pills into his mouth. The Water-Energy Core in his Energy Center began to help him recover from the wound he suffered.

“We should fight our way out of this city before Xiaoyao Langzi returns,” Cai Ling said.

All hope would be lost if Xiaoyao Langzi were to return before they could leave.

Ye Mo nodded and began to focus on recovering. After an hour had passed, all of his wounds were healed.

Ye Mo continued to meditate as he understood he needed to raise his cultivation level as soon as possible.

A total of 65 Dragon Energies had awakened from the Rising Dragon Pillar and were now circulating in his Energy Center. Each of Ye Mo’s Mortal Gates could now withstand a total of 12 dragons.

The Dragon Energies weren’t that hard to awaken, but what troubled Ye Mo was the advancing speed of his cultivation level.

Even if Ye Mo had the power to defeat an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior, he still could not shape his energy.

As cracks began to form on the Water-Energy Core, Ye Mo was already close to breaking through into the Spirit Cultivating Sixth Realm.

I still don’t understand how the Five-Element Cultivation works. What will happen when all five of the Energy Cores have fissioned? Ye Mo thought.

With the help of refined Stabilizing Pills, Ye Mo began to absorb the Natural Energies around him to cultivate the Five-Elements Energy Cores. The Water-Energy Core began to absorb the energy like a vortex. Water repels fire. As the Fire-Energy Core was the first to fission, it prompted the fission of the Water-Energy Core.

Ye Mo opened his eyes early morning the next day. He let out a few breaths and could that feel the Water-Energy Core was about to break.

He smiled as he knew that it would only be days before he broke through to the Spirit Cultivating Sixth Realm where he could control a total of 70 Dragon Energies in his Mortal Gates.

“Looks like your meditation was a success. Your cultivation rose quite a lot,” Cai Ling commented. She’d woken hours before Ye Mo and was concentrating on the boy that was meditating in front of her.

“Yes, a few days more and I should be able to reach the Sixth Realm!” Ye Mo replied.

“How do you think you would fare if you were to fight your way out of this city right now?” Cai Ling asked.

“About 60% likely to survive, with the help of the Heavenly Frost Charm,” Ye Mo said. “I should be able to put up a fight with a Half-Energy Shaping Realm warrior. If I were to advance, then I could kill them all off with one strike.”

“Then we should wait a few more days,” Cai Ling said. “We’ll leave when you’ve reached the Sixth Realm.”

“No, I don’t have much time left,” Ye Mo said and shook his head. “I’ll have to get my hands on the Goddess’s Tear as soon as possible. Plus, we aren’t safe here with Xiaoyao Meiqi looking for us all around the city.”

“I thought you said you could enhance your weapon with the Cursed Pearl. Why don’t you try it now?” Cai Ling suggested.

Ye Mo flinched at the idea. He had originally planned to enhance the Formation-Breaking Spear after they had left the city and could find themselves a remote location.

The enhancement of a Magic Weapon to a Spiritual Weapon would cause a huge commotion. Doing that in the city could bring Ye Mo trouble.

“I guess I don’t have a choice anymore. If the Sky Blood Spear’s spearhead is able to regain its Spiritual Weapon level, my power should rise dramatically. I should be able to break your cuffs by then.”
