The blood snow was still spreading from the sky, infused with the Blood Power. While the flakes were flying to Fan Jian, Ye Mo secretly observed his weaknesses.
It was true that Ye Mo was strong enough to fight against Profound Heavens Realm experts now. But, in terms of defeating his opponent, it was still quite difficult.
“That weapon of yours? Is it the Sky Blood Spear?”
After Ye Mo tore apart Fan Jian’s attack, he was shocked. Thousands and thousands of blood flakes descended from the sky and floated in front of him.
Fan Jian swiftly drew out his hammer, stirring up a heavy wind blowing toward the flakes. Explosions burst out.
“Yes, that must be the Sky Blood Spear. Years ago, I personally witnessed the power of the Sky Blood Lady. At that time, I was just a kid with True Energy Realm cultivation,” Fan Jian shouted frenziedly. “The Sky Blood Spear, the Devil Refining Gourd, are all with you now. It’s destiny. It’s destiny that you bring these two weapons to us.”
“So what? Do you really think you guys have the power to take them from me?” Ye Mo asked. “You want this Devil Refining Gourd so desperately, let me show you how powerful it can be.”
In a blink, Ye Mo took out the Devil Refining Gourd and enlarged the gourd. Then Ye Mo started to pour the Shadow Dragon Power into it and activated all of its energy.
At that moment, Fan Jian felt a power of attraction so strong that he had to hold onto the ground to keep himself steady.
“Gravity Domain!”
Ye Mo altered the direction of the gravity he imposed on Fan Jian. With the pull of both powers, Fan Jian lost his balance completely.
“So you want to fight me with the Devil Refining Gourd?” Fan Jian asked. “But, to activate the gourd, you need to sacrifice a massive amount of energy. You’re just a pitiful Transcendence Realm expert. How long do you think your energy can last?”
Fan Jian generated Profound Qi with the power from four Profound Marks. He rooted to the ground firmly.
The power of the Devil Refining Gourd was irresistible, but Fan Jian, after all, was a Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm cultivator. The fight between the two cultivators was in a stalemate.
Whoever had a more sustainable power would win this fight.
If Ye Mo drained all of his energy but still couldn’t suck Fan Jian into the Devil Refining Gourd, then Ye Mo would lose the fight.
On the other hand, if Fan Jian consumed all of his energy, he would be dragged into the Devil Refining Gourd and be assimilated.
“Ye Mo, I can draw power from the sky, meaning my source is endless.” Fan Jian sneered arrogantly while building his defense up. “But you’re only a Transcendence Realm expert with such limited energy. Let me tell you, there’s no way for you to sustain the fight.”
“Oh, really? Want another taste of my seal?”
Ye Mo, with his right hand keeping the Devil Refining Gourd activated, cast out a seal with his left hand. This seal, named Thunder Rumbling Sword, was one of the seals that he had prepared for the battle. Its power could pose a huge threat to even a High-grade Profound World Realm expert.
Although Fan Jian was a Profound Heavens Realm expert, the Thunder Rumbling Sword could still make an impact on him.
“Huh! It is not even a sixth-grade seal. It can’t harm me at all. That seal’s just a fifth-grade seal.”
Fan Jian was no doubt a knowledgeable cultivator. Indeed, he had lived more than ten thousand years and encountered all kinds of seals, weapons, and panaceas.
He could sense that the seal in Ye Mo’s hand was just a fifth-grade seal, which only reached the level of the Profound World Realm.
“Fan Jian, this is a fifth-grade seal called Thunder Rumbling Sword. Indeed, its attacking power isn’t strong enough to harm you. But the Sword Qi of Thunder Rumbling Sword will penetrate your body, shaking your meridians and disturbing your Profound Qi. It can influence even a Profound Heavens Realm expert. Simply put, this is bad*ss.”
After Ye Mo’s introduction, Fan Jian was petrified in shock. He had heard that some seals weren’t strong at attacking power but had other, rather wicked, functions.
This kind of seal, however, was very troublesome to refine. Most of those seals were left over from the ancient great wars, especially in the battle of the Primordial Shenrui, many ninth-grade seals were created, all with magnificent powers.
“Well, it looks like you know a thing or two about my seal. Then go to hell!”
Ye Mo burst into cold laughter and generated the Caged Dragon Power shooting the Thunder Rumbling Sword out. A giant sword with the light of thunder and lightning appeared, 30 feet long, crossing the sky. When it struck out, the ground started shaking with a deafening rumbling in the sky.
Fan Jian, restrained by the powers of the Devil Refining Gourd and Gravity Power, couldn’t move an inch. With his eyes opened wide, he watched the giant thunder light sword hack toward his head.
Kraka-Boooom!
The attack didn’t harm Fan Jian too much, but the Sword Qi of the Thunder Rumbling Sword drilled into Fan Jian’s body. The sensation was like having hundreds of snakes rushing through his veins, which made him restless. Within a second, just a second, he was sucked into the Devil Refining Gourd completely.
“Let me out, let me out!” The terrified voice of Fan Jian drifted out of the Devil Refining Gourd.
But Ye Mo didn’t pay any attention to Fan Jian’s scream, shaking the Devil Refining Gourd up and down, making Fan Jian bump around the gourd miserably. Then he put the Devil Refining Gourd away.
“Ling’er, I’ll leave that bastard to you,” Ye Mo said.
“Uh-huh, sooner or later this guy will be melted down into water in the Devil Refining Gourd,” Ling’er said. Within the Xu Mi Ring, Ling’er was sitting on Xiao Jing’s back. When she saw the Devil Refining Gourd coming in, her interest was aroused right away.
After taking care of Fan Jian, Ye Mo’s Shadow Dragon Power had been mostly spent. But, without any break, he dove into Yao Yue and Fan Yi’s fight.
Yao Yue’s fight with Fan Yi was still tied.
“Fan Yi is no doubt a top-ranking expert even in the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm. His power is unpredictably strong. If I fought him alone without cultivation in the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm, it could be too difficult to defeat him. But, with both our powers, he’ll lose the battle sooner or later,” Yao Yue said with her heart light with hope. “And it’s also possible that an intense battle like this will give me so much pressure that I’ll enter the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm. If that happens, the whole fight will be much easier.”
Fan Yi, noticing that Ye Mo had put Fan Jian into the Devil Refining Gourd, was in a flaming fury.
“Both of you go to hell!”
Fan Yi went berserk, even his hair bun burst open. His hair was flowing in the air, standing up from his head like branches, or like streaks of lightning.
A strong wave of Demon Qi came out from his body, burning ferociously.
His power was enhanced again.
Boom!
After a strike from his hammer, both Ye Mo and Yao Yue were blown away at the same time. But Fan Yi, looking a little pale, stood there without moving.
“Fan Yi must have applied some exclusive technique just now to force a boost in his power. If he continues to consume his energy like that, he’ll die eventually,” Ye Mo said calmly.
But, at that very moment, another round of turmoil started.
“Who would have expected that there’d be so many strong cultivators in the tenth district? Those two young cultivators have oppressed Fan Yi, the castellan of the Chaotic Devil City. This isn’t something you encounter every day.”
While Ye Mo and Yao Yue were about to attack Fan Yi together, a loud noise echoed through the mountains. An overwhelming amount of Demon Qi descended, looming over all three of them.
The wave of Demon Qi, containing so many Wills, collapsing and breaking, was like a ferocious demon with great power landing on the ground.
At the center of the Demon Qi, an old man in a black rope showed up. His skin was shriveled and he was as scrawny as a skeleton. He looked like he had one foot in the grave. But his eyes… his eyes were filled with evil.
Moreover, on his forehead were two horns like cultivators from the Zone of Demon. Those horns emitted the Demon Qi. Whoever laid eyes on them could sense the extreme coldness in the bottom of their hearts.
