The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Looking at the incoming saber energy, Ye Mo did not dare to be careless. With a shake of his palm, he formed a Bright Dragon Spear. And with a shake of the spear, numerous bright spear images appeared to collide with the wheels.

“Hmph. You can’t even use True Energy Power yet you think of trying to frighten me? How egotistical and ignorant. Golden Wheel Destruction!” As a Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouse, a single clash was sufficient for One Armed Butcher to find out Ye Mo’s cultivation level.

Those reaching True Energy Realm would start using True Energy Power. This was a substantive power, with each motion and move by someone at this level capable of creating energy fluctuation. While Ye Mo could block his attack, it was merely because Ye Mo’s energy was rather thick. It was merely his cultivation method that was powerful.

The One Armed Butcher sneered as his golden wheels exploded and transformed into a wave of saber light that crashed down onto Ye Mo. Ye Mo opened his palms and using the Daomark Gloves, he formed numerous Daomark Barriers. The saber light crashed onto the barriers, creating numerous ripples. It was obvious that these barriers were no match.

“Although the Daomark Gloves are powerful, you do not know the great dao and are incapable of fully unleashing their power. I shall see how long you can last.” The One Armed Butcher started roaring with cruel laughter. “Kid, if you had obediently given me the Star Map earlier, I might have spared you. But now, you will only die.”

“One Armed Butcher, you want the Star Map? Take it!” Ye Mo tossed the Star Map outside the valley. When the One Armed Butcher saw that, he ignored Ye Mo and streaked towards the Star Map instead.

“Run!” Ye Mo grabbed hold of Chen Yanzhi and jumped out before unfurling his energy wings that were nearly three meters long. With a single flap, the wings kicked up a strong gale before his figure vanished.

When the One Armed Butcher caught the bag, he opened it and found that the Star Map was inside. Joy surfaced on his face as he turned to look at the direction Ye Mo had fled in while licking his lips.

“Escaping from a Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouse is impossible for you two. Since my underlings are all dead, I will only stand a chance of surviving by capturing Chen Yanzhi,” One Armed Butcher muttered before he streaked in Ye Mo’s direction.

“What happened to the Chen Clan Army?” Ye Mo asked while fleeing.

“Half are dead while the other half are heavily injured and won’t be alive for long. We have suffered a crushing defeat,” Chen Yanzhi said blankly.

“That guy is a Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouse. Our auras have been locked on by him. Escape is impossible. Since that is the case, we will have to put everything on the line and fight him,” Ye Mo said before his figure vanished into thin air once again.

In the span of several breaths, Ye Mo arrived at the army camp. Below him was an expanse of red with corpses everywhere. Miserable wails sounded without stop while an intense smell of blood filled the air. The scene looked incredibly miserable.

“Miss Yanzhi, all the bandits have been killed by me. The only hope of One Armed Butcher is to capture you and use you as a trump card to blackmail the Chen Clan Army. If you want them to survive, you need to act as bait,” Ye Mo said.

“What? You have a way of saving them?” Yanzhi cried out in astonishment as she stared at Ye Mo in disbelief.

“We don’t have time to talk. It will be even better if you can retreat back to the Skywolf Mountain Range instead,” Ye Mo said urgently.

“How about you?” Yanzhi asked. If she escaped back to the Skywolf Mountain Range, the One Armed Butcher would shift his focus to Ye Mo.

“Although I can no longer fulfill my promise, I still don’t wish to see so many Chen Clan Army soldiers dying. I hope I can last until you return with reinforcements,” Ye Mo said as he forced a smile on his face.

“You must survive!” said Yanzhi as she knitted her brows. With no hesitation, she summoned the Lightning Bird and with a flash, streaked away and vanished.

When One Armed Butcher arrived, he merely tossed Ye Mo a glance before continuing to pursue Chen Yanzhi.

“Don’t get yourself killed,” Ye Mo muttered as he stayed hovering on the air. Next, the Bright Dragon Power within his body fully erupted, causing his entire body to shine with a dazzling white radiance.

“The Glorious Sun represents life. Heal, Light of Glorious Sun!” Ye Mo hissed and all his Bright Dragon Power poured out of his body. The divine Light of Glorious Sun started shining upon all the Chen Clan Army soldiers beneath him.

At present, Ye Mo was akin to an incarnation of the Golden Crow that had transformed into the Glorious Sun that was shining with the Light of Glorious Sun. The Glorious Sun Power was not only able to heal his own injuries, it was also capable of healing others. Moreover, while healing others, if the target of healing had a feeling of gratitude towards Ye Mo, the Glorious Sun Power would be able to harvest the power of kindness from the target that would in turn allow the offensive power of the Glorious Sun Power to be even stronger.

The Glorious Sun represented the divine, represented the light, and those with kindness in their heart were akin to the light. This was the real reason why the Glorious Sun Power was so powerful. To increase the Glorious Sun Power, one would have to heal others and harvest the gratitude whole healing. Ye Mo was intending to take a gamble, to gamble on how much he would grow in strength when he was done healing all these soldiers.

“What light is this? It’s so comfortable, so warm.”

“Look, my arm is growing back. This is a miracle.”

“Even my lower body is growing out from my waist again.”

“This divine light is being emitted by Ye Mo!”

“What a magical power!”

Using his Light of Glorious Sun on such a wide area, Ye Mo’s Bright Dragon Power was somewhat lacking to support the expenditure. Fortunately, he no longer had 3,000 streams of Bright Dragon Power. Rather, he had 4,500 streams of Bright Dragon Power, enough for him to use here. Time passed and slowly, the vitality of the soldiers started increasing as their injuries started healing after regrowing their severed limbs.

“How magical. All my wounds have healed!”

“My wounds have healed as well!”

After using the Light of Glorious Sun, at least 700 soldiers had recovered. Everyone had a pleasantly surprised expression as they gazed up at Ye Mo with gratitude in their hearts. If it wasn’t for Ye Mo, they would never have survived the injuries they had sustained.

Slowly, the incorporeal kindness blended into the Glorious Sun Power. Ye Mo could feel the power within him growing. The fully exhausted Bright Dragon Power was refilled again. From the Rising Dragon Pillar, they erupted. After the 700 strains of kindness blended into the 4,500 streams of Bright Dragon Power, the Glorious Sun Power appeared even brighter, even holier; grand, imposing, dignified, and inviolable.

Slowly, the strength of the Bright Dragon Power grew. Ye Mo felt like his entire body had been enveloped by a layer of divine light. He could clearly sense the gratitude the soldiers were feeling towards him. Next, Ye Mo’s body started swelling as his Energy Center started roiling with the intrusion of the 700 strains of kindness. The Five-Elements Energy in his body started converging and solidifying. All his energy coursed into the Energy Center through his meridians, and finally, they formed a True Energy Core.

“The appearance of true energy! Time to breakthrough into the True Energy Realm!” When Ling’er saw this, she cried out in alarm with an expectant look.
