Lin Langya was completely dead, and he seemed to have suffered a miserable death.
The newcomer in the lead was a young man. He wore golden armor, and his eyes glowed with a demonic aura.
Of the two people behind him, Ye Mo knew one of them. It was Mo Hun, who had escaped during their previous encounter with the Spiritfox clan. In the meantime, Mo Hun had already advanced into the Transcendence Second Realm.
Without a doubt, all three of them were the demons from the Zone of Demon, members of the Demon Race.
The person in the lead had an incredibly powerful aura. The demonic aura he emanated was much purer than the two behind him.
That was the result of an incomparably pure bloodline, a sign that he was a true demon with extremely powerful demonic skills and the noblest demon bloodline.
His cultivation realm wasn’t too high, only Transcendence Sixth Realm, but Ye Mo could sense that he was no less dangerous than the Heavenly Demon Clan leader. When he breathed, the thick demonic aura swirled around him. And with the combination of his demonic aura and his Transcendence Qi, he was even more powerful than an ordinary Transcendence Realm warrior.
Ye Mo could feel that this person would be able to easily kill him without much effort. That was an intuition, an intuition that this person before him was definitely a genius of the Zone of Demon.
“Someone from the Zone of Demon?” Ye Mo probed.
“You’re a disciple of the Door of Desolation, right? A disciple participating in the Six Dao Tournament here in Purgatory?”
The young man tossed Lin Langya’s corpse away and shook blood off his hand before saying to Ye Mo, “You were able to block my Divine Demon Sword Light. Not bad. I’m the young master of the Zone of Demon. My name is Mo Tian, second son of the Demon Lord. The herb you just harvested is the Fragrant Spirit Grass, an herb extremely useful for my pill refining. I need those Fragrant Spirit Grasses to refine some Transcendence Pills. Hand them over.”
“What if I refuse?” Although Ye Mo wasn’t a match for this opponent, his Zhu Immortal Magical Formation was already active. Xiao Jing was also right beside him. He would be able to flee at any time.
“Don’t dream that you can stop my attack just because you have this formation active,” Mo Tian said as the demonic aura seeped out of his eyes. “The Divine Demon Sword Light earlier only had 30% of my strength. Us of the Demon Race are here for tempering. We’ll earn points for killing you people, but since you’re only a Spirit Devour Realm warrior, killing you won’t get me many points.”
“So you are not going to kill me?” Ye Mo asked with a dry laugh.
“I’m the young master of the Zone of Demon,” Mo Tian said indifferently. “I have my pride. During my birth, I declared that I would never kill warriors below the Transcendence Realm. You’re very lucky. But you have to hand over the herb garden. Otherwise, I won’t mind turning you into the first Spirit Devour Realm to die by my hands.”
“I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to kill me even if you want to!” Ye Mo sneered before moving suddenly. The Sky Blood Spear in his hand suddenly stabbed forth, and, at the same time, the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation shrunk. The attack was aimed straight at Mo Tian’s forehead.
Clang!
Mo Tian reached out and touched the tip of Ye Mo’s spear with his finger. Waves of destructive undulations erupted from the collision.
When Ye Mo sensed the undulation, his face fell. His body flickered as he jumped onto Xiao Jing’s back. Xiao Jing flapped his wings and sent gold crystals raining down on Mo Tian.
The attack caused Mo Tian’s expression to shift slightly. He punched, sending a raging wave of attack toward the gold crystals. All the gold crystals turned into powder, but Ye Mo and Xiao Jing were already nowhere to be seen.
“What beast is that?” Mo Tian cried out in astonishment. “Why is it so fast?”
“Young master, that person is Ye Mo, the man spoiled our plan to steal the Devil Refining Gourd,” Mo Hun said in a low voice. “It’s quite a surprise that he’s already a Spirit Devour Realm warrior. His advancement is truly quite fast.”
“Fast? Can he be faster than me?” Mo Tian said with disdain. He continued, “Keep hunting the Door of Desolation disciples. Kill anyone you see.”
After escaping disaster, Ye Mo became more cautious. Within Purgatory, there were also Zone of Demon people apart from the Door of Desolation disciples. The Zone of Demon had also opened a portal to Purgatory and had its own version of tempering. In their tempering, they would be rewarded points for killing Door of Desolation disciples.
Three days passed quickly, and, with the help of Xiao Jing, Ye Mo obtained more than 5,000 points.
After spending three days battling with demons, Ye Mo was able to comprehend his fist technique. This fist technique was called the Zhu Immortal Divine Fist, a fist technique containing the Immortal’s Will. Coupled with his valiant physique, a single punch from him could easily kill a Transcendence Second Realm expert.
Ye Mo had also stabilized his cultivation level of peak stage Spirit Devour Realm. As for when he would break through into the Transcendence Realm, not even Ye Mo himself had an answer.
Bang!
Right when Ye Mo was in deep thought, his body trembled. He sensed a spatial portal open behind him and that it was about to pull him in.
Ye Mo knew that this signified the end of the Six Dao Tournament. The token was pulling them back to the outside world.
Ye Mo didn’t resist. After putting Xiao Jing into the Xu Mi Ring, he allowed his body to be pulled into the portal. Then, he reappeared at the Outer Peak of Desolate Mountain.
“Another junior brother is coming out. It’s Ye Mo. Surprisingly, the weakest new disciple of Asura Palace is safe and sound.”
“He’s safely in the fifth place of the individual ranking.”
“Yes. Nobody expected that a new disciple would place fifth on the individual ranking.”
The moment Ye Mo appeared, people started talking about him. Ye Mo’s results had once again set a new record in the Door of Desolation.
He entered Purgatory as a late-stage Spirit Devour Realm warrior. Not only had he survived and kept his token from being stolen, but he had also even finished the tournament in fifth place.
“Look. The individual rankings are updating again.” Someone cried out in alarm. Everyone fixed their gazes onto the individual rankings. Mu Sang’s name had suddenly vanished. Liu Qingyun took the first place. Everyone else also moved up by one place as well. Ye Mo was now sitting in fourth place.
As for the team ranking, Asura Palace dropped from the first place to second, putting the Human Dao Palace back in first place once again.
No one could understand what had happened when they looked at the rankings. Then, several figures were sent out of Purgatory. When Ye Mo saw the corpse of his third senior brother holding on to Mu Sang’s corpse, his pupils shrunk as he quickly rushed over.
“What happened?” with his eyes bloodshot, Ye Mo howled loudly.
The sudden shift in the rankings had already given Ye Mo a bad feeling. Now that he saw Mu Sang’s lifeless corpse with his own eyes, he guessed that Mu Sang might have encountered an expert from the Zone of Demon.
“Right as the tournament was ending, we encountered an expert from the Zone of Demon,” Third Senior brother explained. “He claimed to be the young master of the Zone of Demon. Eldest Senior Brother was killed trying to cover our escape.”
“Mo Tian!” Ye Mo clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with raging fury.
“Haha, Mu Sang’s gotten himself killed by a demon,” Liu Qingyun said when he saw Mu Sang’s corpse. “What an embarrassment to the Door of Desolation.”
“What did you say?” Ye Mo dashed forward and asked coldly.
“Why? Do you want to fight me?” Liu Qingyun said as he patted Ye Mo’s shoulder. “Don’t think that you’re worthy of being my rival just because you placed fourth. You still need to cultivate many years before you can contend against me.”
“Junior Brother Ye Mo, calm down,” Taiyi Qinglian said softly. “Now that Senior Brother Mu Sang is dead, we have to stay calm and us fellow apprentices have to stay united.”
“Senior Brother Mu Sang, I’ll avenge you.” Ye Mo vowed with his teeth clenched tightly. Although he had just met Mu Sang, all the seniors of the Asura Palace had treated him with sincerity. Looking at Mu Sang’s corpse, he vowed that he would make Mo Tian pay a terrible price for what he did.
