At the deputy city master’s residence.

“Qiantu, where did that kid come from?” Fen Gongwuliang said. “He dares to challenge me? If he doesn’t have some trump cards up his sleeves, would he dare to say something like that?”

“Father,” Fen Qiantu replied loudly. “That kid was battling as a diamond gladiator at the merchant house. And, he was in the Sixth Tier of the Transcendence Realm back then. When I battled him in the illusion realm, the techniques he exhibited were extremely strange – he was able to open a virtual door and call out strong monsters. I couldn’t do anything to retaliate at all.”

He told his father about the huge fight that he’d had with Ye Mo, telling him about every bit of detail.

“Oh?” Fen Gongwuliang said gently. “His powers are able to curb yours. In particular, he can add strength to his regions of powers, capable of affecting even me. But, for some reason, when we engaged in battle later, I was able to destroy his golden body twice. The strength that he displayed was completely different from how you described it.”

“Father,” Fen Qiantu said gently, “what do we do next? If the strength that he used to defeat me is genuine, now that he’s advanced to the Seventh Realm, he might have the ability to challenge you.”

“No worries,” Fen Gongwuliang said. “Even if he’s advanced to the Seventh Realm, he won’t be able to defeat me. I’m still holding on to the heaven weapon. That’s not something he can compete with. But, if he loses, Yao Yue may not allow him to hand over the Devil Refining Gourd.”

“Then should we tell uncle?” Fen Qiantu asked.

Fen Gongwuliang waved his hand and said, “No need. We’ll only tell your uncle about it as a last resort. You should know of the powers of the Devil Refining Gourd. Ye Mo used it to advance up the realms by absorbing all of the Heaven Phases. Without it, he would have died within the Heaven Phase long ago. If I can get my hands on the Devil Refining Gourd, when I advance to the Profound Heaven Realm, I won’t have to fear the Profound Phase in the slightest.”

Hearing that, Fen Qianti understood as well – a treasured item like the Devil Refining Gourd would make even fighters in the Profound Realms and the Cosmos Realm jealous.

“Qiantu, head to the Burning Flame City now,” Fen Gongwuliang said. “If I’m defeated by that kid, you’ll say that the kid stole my position as deputy city master. Do not reveal the fact that the kid has the Devil Refining Gourd with him. If I win, all the better.”

There was only one day left before the battle with Fen Gongwuliang, but Ye Mo’s strength had yet to recover. It was getting urgent.

Ye Mo and Yao Yue weren’t people of many words. They would occasionally meditate and train together, and Yao Yue would tell Ye Mo about some of her own realizations about the Profound Realm.

As the two trained together, they did look like a couple.

On the second day, Yao Yue knocked on Ye Mo’s door early in the morning. She asked worriedly, “Your powers have yet to recover?”

“No, not yet!” Ye Mo shook his head sheepishly as he said, “I think it’ll be soon. Logically speaking, today is the day that my powers are supposed to recover.”

“Ye Mo, the day of the battle has arrived. Quickly battle me.”

It was still early, and Fen Gongwuliang had already started to call him out, refusing to give Ye Mo any chance.

Landing on the bordering wall of the Castellan Estate, he looked at Ye Mo with a face of murderous intent.

“Darn it. Fen Gongwuliang must be afraid that I would be up to my tricks, and wants to conclude the battle as quickly as possible. But, if I face him in my current state, I’ll be killed.”

Ye Mo’s heart trembled as he replied loudly, “Fen Gongwuliang, I’ve only just woken up. I haven’t even eaten breakfast yet. What are you yelling about? How do you expect me to fight on an empty stomach?”

“Kid, are you trying to drag this out on purpose?” Fen Gongwuliang was infuriated, to the point that he was about to cough out blood.

Fighters who reached the Transcendence Realm could simply use the powers of their natural surroundings – they had no need to consume food at all. And Ye Mo had actually said that he couldn’t fight on an empty stomach.

“Fen Gongwuliang, all I’m doing is eating my breakfast – how can you call that trying to drag things out?” Ye Mo said. “Are you telling me that eating my breakfast will enable me to advance to the Profound World Realm?” Ye Mo smiled calmly.

“Hmph, hurry up!” Fen Gongwuliang stopped arguing with Ye Mo.

“Yao Yue, this is my first time eating breakfast today. You have to feed me.”

Ye Mo intentionally spoke as loud as he could, infuriating Fen Gongwuliang. Reaching out his hand, he sent a flaming palm strike at Ye Mo.

Boom!

The room that Ye Mo was staying in was blown up.

Fortunately for Ye Mo, Yao Yue grabbed him and they escaped in time. Otherwise, he would have been killed by Fen Gongwuliang.

“Fen Gongwuliang, what is the meaning of this?” Yao Yue asked coldly.

“Yao Yue, I don’t understand what part of this kid you’re attracted to, for you to be so protective of him,” Fen Gongwuliang said.

“You think you have a say in my personal affairs?” Yao Yue mocked, her laugh filled with a chilling aura. Thin layers of ice started to form around Yao Yue. Those close to her knew what this meant – Yao Yue was completely enraged.

Accessing the situation, Fen Gongwuliang frowned, fear pouring from his heart. He said, “Kid, what are you waiting for? Eat your breakfast.”

“After you caused such a commotion, do you think I’m still in the mood for breakfast? Since you’re so anxious about giving up your position as deputy city master, I’ll oblige you. Follow me.”

Ye Mo was the first to reach the Frost Ice City, with Yao Yue following closely behind. Fen Gongwuliang followed suit.

“Hong Ling, are you sure?” Ye Mo asked once again mid-flight.

“Your Shadow Dragon Powers should have been awakened sooner due to the fusion of the two drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood,” Hong Ling said calmly. “But the combination of the Powers of Death and the Powers of the Glorious Sun caused the Shadow Dragon Powers to be stifled. You missed your chance. Now, you’ll need a huge amount of force to make the breakthrough. When that happens, your strength will be unleashed completely.”

“Strong powers? Like the battle?” Ye Mo chuckled before stopping in mid-air. Turning around, he looked at the oncoming Fen Gongwuliang.

“Hmm? Go and die!”

Patience run thin, Fen Gongwuliang rotated his palms, summoning balls of wild flames into the sky. The surrounding gigantic mountains were plucked from the ground. At the moment, it looked as if he was the general of a huge army. Using the natural forces, it was as if thousands and millions of soldiers were under his control, ready to attack at any moment.

Reaching the advanced stage of the Profound World Realm, one could almost utilize nature’s powers to perfection. Furthermore, there was also a bridge between the Profound World Realm and the Profound Heaven Realm. So, some fighters in the advanced stage of the Profound World Realm could even get a hold on a hint of Tianqiong Powers.

“Ye Mo, be careful!”

Just as Yao Yue was about to step in and make the save, she the look on Ye Mo’s face – it was an expression of confidence. Definite, undoubted confidence.

“Haha, bring on all of your attacks!” Ye Mo shouted wildly.

“Kid, it’s all distraction and diversion with you – you don’t actually have the powers to fight experts in the Profound Realms. Die!”

One could fake their aura, but not their realm. But, Ye Mo’s aura remained extremely calm, convincing Fen Gongwuliang that Ye Mo was just putting on a front. With his fingers like hooks, he moved a giant mountain with a single hand and launched it toward Ye Mo.

The consecutive attacks were enough to destroy all false pretenses. Fen Gongwuliang wanted to destroy even the air around Ye Mo.

Ye Mo’s expression remained calm. Facing such a frightening attack, he remained unmoved.

Boom!

The two giant mountains sandwiched Ye Mo, smashing him from either side. A frightening explosion loud enough to shake the earth to its foundation was heard, destroying everything in sight and tearing through the sky.
