“Haha, this feels great. For others, this is a Five Punishments Tower, but for me, it is a Five Elements Tower. I only have the final floor of the gold element left. After the gold monkey is refined as well, I might be able to enter the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm as well. That cultivation level, coupled with my 3,000 streams of Dragon Power, will be sufficient for me to defeat normal True Energy Realm powerhouses.” When the lightning containing the fire elemental power struck Ye Mo’s body, the fire monkey within him started cheering joyfully.
“Brother Ye Mo, have you noticed that the earth and fire monkeys feel familiar?” Ling’er asked.
“Are you talking about the Long Armed Ape Monkey and the Saint Skyburn? I have long known about this. Perhaps the Five-Elements Energy is related to the Four Spiritual Monkeys. When I reach the Transcendence Realm, I might be able to solve this puzzle. Let’s go,” Ye Mo said and started slowly walking towards the fifth floor while completely ignoring the lightning bolts striking his body.
The lightning bolts on the fifth floor were even scarier. The floor was filled with golden lightning bolts and like numerous vipers, the lightning bolts crackled and twisted in the air.
Bang!
The moment Ye Mo arrived, a golden lightning bolt streaked through the air and struck Ye Mo. When the lightning power entered Ye Mo’s body, his body shook as the gold monkey started resisting the lightning power on his behalf.
Ye Mo discovered that this gold lightning was indeed terrifying. Even with the gold monkey resisting the attack on his behalf, his body had still suffered from the power of the lightning.
Fortunately, the remnant power that his body was subjected to was nothing for him. Bolt after bolt of lightning landed on Ye Mo. His skin was already going numb, every single cell on him tingling.
Yet another bolt of lightning landed on Ye Mo. Slowly but surely, the energy within him started loosening up.
“I am on the verge of advancing into Energy Shaping Ninth Realm!” Ye Mo could sense the transformation within him. The Five-Elements Energy started growing berserk inside of his body.
“Now, let me borrow the lightning power to enter the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm!”
This time, Ye Mo completely opened the meridians in his body and allowed the lightning power to cleanse the energy within him. The Five Elements Punishment that everyone feared was like nourishment to Ye Mo.
“Energy Shaping Ninth Realm!” Suddenly, Ye Mo’s body started spinning to create a huge tornado. The gold elemental lightning bolts grew berserk and started striking Ye Mo like crazy.
The energy within Ye Mo revolved faster and faster, and with the refinement of the lightning of the five elements, the Five-Elements Energy within him grew stronger and became as majestic and boundless as an ocean.
And almost instantaneously, everything shifted to his Energy Center and converged on the clone that was still forming there.
Imposing Might!
A powerful force erupted like a thunderstorm from Ye Mo and spread all around him. At the heart of the storm, spiritual energy could be seen pouring into Ye Mo’s meridians at a rapid speed.
The meridians within Ye Mo’s body started growing until it was one-fold wider and tougher than the meridians of an Energy Shaping Eight Realm warrior.
Within his Energy Center, the Five-Elements Energy had concentrated together, seemingly about to form an energy pill.
Streams of Dragon Power started pouring into Ye Mo’s meridians as well before mixing with the power within his body, transforming into numerous streams of Imposing Might.
Howl!
A loud dragon’s roar erupted from Ye Mo’s body as if Ye Mo himself was a dragon.
Whoosh!
A huge pair of wings unfurled behind Ye Mo. His wings no longer looked the same as before. They were larger now and had more detail to them. If his previous wings were the equivalent of the wings of a child dragon, his current dragon wings were the equivalent of an adolescent dragon.
After entering Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, Ye Mo was now capable of using the Imposing Might, where he could use his very presence to exert pressure upon others.
Ye Mo had fused the might of the dragon into his energy so he would be able to exert the might of the dragon upon others, giving his Imposing Might more power.
Even without using his Dragon Power, he only needed to unleash his dragon’s might to scare a large group of Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors away from him.
Energy Shaping Ninth Realm!
Ye Mo formed his Dragon Spear, and with a wave, the spear light shot out while a dragon’s roar rang in the air. Instantly, the black spear light split a bolt of lightning into two.
When the spear light crashed on the wall, the entire tower started trembling.
“Haha, this feels great!” Ye Mo howled in laughter. He glanced over at the exit, and without hesitation, he charged at it.
Outside the tower, Elder Feng and the others were anxiously watching the colorful, glowing tower. The perpetual rumble of thunder could be heard from the tower. Outside the tower, lightning flashed without stopping. The entire tower looked incomparably terrifying.
“Haha, Elder Feng, that Ye Mo is probably dead by now. Why did he have to offend Ye Changsheng out of all people? I suppose not even his remains will be left after being bombarded by the five elements lightning,” Elder Yun He, who was standing to the side, said with a laugh while stroking his beard.
“Hmph. You never know. Ye Mo might be able to survive the tower after all,” Elder Feng countered furiously. However, his brows were furrowed tightly. Evidently, not even he himself trusted his own words.
“Stop lying to yourselves. You know better than anyone the power of the tower. It is not possible for Ye Mo to survive the punishment,” Yun He said cheerfully.
Swish!
A golden flash streaked by and stopped before everyone there. Xuan Ji had arrived.
Elder Feng erupted in anger when he saw Xuan Ji. “Xuan Ji, what are you doing here? Even after this, you’re still not letting Ye Mo off?”
“Old Feng, tell me. Is Ye Mo the son of Ye Qing?” Xuan Ji asked coldly.
“It is pointless to keep hiding this from you. Yes, he is Ye Qing’s son. Are you doing this to him just because he is Ye Qing’s son?” Elder Feng said.
Right after those words were spoken, a black figure streaked out of the Five Punishments Tower. With his wings unfurled, he hovered in the air and looked down upon everyone else.
“Xuan Ji, I have survived the Five Punishments Tower. You don’t have any other excuses to punish me anymore, do you?”
Everyone stared blankly at the person hovering in the air in disbelief. Ye Mo had actually survived the Five Punishments Tower!
“This…” Elder Yun He was speechless. He had originally believed that Ye Mo would be killed in the tower. But not only had Ye Mo survived, he had even grown stronger.
Xuan Ji gazed at Ye Mo, her face as cold as ever.
“Ye Mo, I have indeed underestimated you. Five Punishments Tower is in fact the equivalent of the death penalty. Even though you have survived and escaped the Five Punishments Tower, you still need to die,” Xuan Ji said indifferently.
“Xuan Ji, don’t push it!” Elder Feng raged.
“Old Feng, do you want to fight me?” Xuan Ji glared at Elder Feng as a terrifying aura appeared to forcefully push Elder Feng several steps backward. Then, she shifted her gaze back on Ye Mo before saying, “If you can survive one punch from me, I will consider sparing you.”
