With the addition of the Five Elements Battle Gown, the Five Elements Dragon Monkey’s’ aura grew even stronger. Its defense was greatly boosted as well. Now, even fighters in the Seven Tier of the Transcendence Realm taking turns to attack him wouldn’t be able to deal any damage to the Five Elements Battle Gown.
“You people. Since you’re inside the Mountain and River Diagram, you can all die.”
The Dragon Monkey unleashed a claw attack, seemingly grabbing the whole concept of space in its hand. Mi Yan’s body was grabbed by the Dragon Monkey. With a squeeze, it exploded immediately.
An elite fighter in the Seventh Tier of the Transcendence Realm squeezed to death just like that.
Everyone stared in shock at the gigantic Five Elements Dragon Monkey with incredulous looks on their faces. A fighter who had just advanced to the Second Tier of the Transcendence Realm had killed the Big Senior of the Heavenly Dao Palace in a matter of seconds.
“Everyone, listen up,” Shi Jiang roared as he summoned his Transcendence Golden Body. “Ye Mo killed the Big Senior of the Heavenly Dao Palace – his crimes are unforgivable. Let’s join forces and take him down.”
A towering Stone Giant appeared, the huge chain-lock in his hand the size of the Yangtze River.
But the moment he unleashed his golden body, the Dragon Monkey’s Zhu Deity Punch sent the Stone Giant back several steps. Punch after punch followed, each attack imbued with the Five Rows of Power. Shi Jiang’s Transcendence Golden Body was smashed smaller and smaller by Ye Mo, eventually becoming a normal-sized golden body that remained active.
The sight shocked everyone.
“No, what is this kind of power?” Shi Jiang was terrified as he started to yell, “You can’t kill me. If you kill me, Senior Liu won’t let you live. The whole Human Dao Palace is part of the First Heaven Society, and they won’t let you off either. The Tianwu Kingdom will suffer.”
Without a moment of hesitation, Ye Mo swatted his big palm, smashing him into a human pancake. Ye Mo instantly absorbed his Transcendence Golden Body.
With Shi Jiang so easily killed by Ye Mo, the leader among the men in black, Gong Hai, could barely remain on his feet. His heart was filled with devastation. The other disciples seemed as if their souls had been scared out of their bodies.
With even the likes of Jiang Shi so easily slain by Ye Mo – not a battle, but an instant kill – what else could they do? There was only one thought on everyone’s mind.
“Run!”
But was Ye Mo really going to let them off that easy? Unleashing the Zhu Deity Magical Formation again, it surrounded everyone except those from the Hell Dao Palace and the Angry Spirit Dao Palace.
“You really think you can escape?” Ye Mo stared coldly at the disciples. Today, he was going to finish what he was supposed to. With all of them dead, no one would know that he was behind the killings. But he had to make sure it was a clean job – with gadgets like communication seals, he had to make sure they couldn’t get the word out.
With a swipe of his sleeve, the Five Elements Dragon Gown generated a huge amount of suction force, pulling everyone toward it.
With the Sky Blood Spear in hand, Ye Mo charged at his enemies.
After a few spear attacks, all of their brains were sent flying. Gong Hai’s multiple attempts at blocking Ye Mo’s attack eventually succeeded, but his face was deathly pale.
“Ye Mo, you’ll regret killing me. Now that the First Heaven Society knows that you have the Mountain and River Diagram, as well as the Sky Blood Spear, they’ll come after you. You may be able to defeat a fighter in the Eighth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, but what about the Ninth Tier, and those elites in the Profound World Realm? Haha!”
Gong Hai started laughing wildly.
Ye Mo responded with a swift punch. He and the First Heaven Society were already locked into a battle to the death, no sort of threat was going to work on him. But he hadn’t expected information to be passed on this quickly.
Having absorbed all of the Transcendence Golden Bodied using his Dimensional Bracelet, Ye Mo withdrew from his golden body. He said, “Everyone, all these people were after my head. I had no choice but to kill them. I hope that this won’t reach the higher-ups of the Door of Desolation.”
Ye Mo’s tone was not threatening, but pleading.
“Ye Mo, we’ve not seen eye to eye with them for the longest time. Don’t worry, we won’t say anything about this.” Yan Luo and Yang Kang patted their chest, issuing their promises.
“Alright, are you all staying in the Mountain and River Diagram or are you leaving? I’m going to sit here and slowly cultivate the painting,” Ye Mo said gently. The priority now was to completely cultivate the Diagram, which would allow him to carry it around with ease.
“It’s best for us to leave. Ye Mo, you stay here and cultivate.”
Yan Luo and Yang Kang knew that it was pointless staying, and headed for the exit.
Though it was a cultivation process, Ye Mo didn’t have much to do. All he had to do was to familiarize himself with the space within the Mountain and River Diagram. Though this space wasn’t even one-tenth of the size of the Zone of Desolation, the plane was still extremely strong.
Its strength was comparable to that of the Desolate Ancient World, but its area was bigger, and its training environment was better, too.
Walking around the area, Ye Mo didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.
“Ye Mo, don’t be hasty,” Hong Ling said. “Wait till I’m done with my cultivation process and your heart has completely submerged into this space, you’ll gain control over this whole area, and your will will be able to be spread across this whole space.”
“Fusing my heart with this space?” Ye Mo was extremely surprised.
“That’s right. In the future, even if your body isn’t physically inside the Mountain and River Diagram to cultivate, you can let your heart into the space. When you’re in battle in the future, you’ll be able to sneakily absorb your opponent into the Diagram. When that happens, you’ll gain the upper hand in terms of environment, and you may stand a chance even against fighters in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm.”
Hong Ling went on to tell Ye Mo about all the benefits of cultivating the Mountain and River Diagram, causing him to become involuntarily excited.
While it was a danger-filled process, he was glad to he had attained the Mountain Lake Painting.
However, Ye Mo was worried about one thing – the fact that his Sky Blood Spear had been completely made public, as was the fact that he possessed the Mountain Lake Painting.
“Who cares, I’ll just take one step at a time.”
After a whole day, Hong Ling had completely cultivated the Mountain and River Diagram. Dealing with weapon spirits, Hong Ling had her own set of skills.
Having cultivated the Diagram, Ye Mo could retract it and bring it with him.
But what Ye Mo needed to do was to make use of his heart and completely combine it with the space of the Mountain and River Diagram.
Rather than fusion, a better term would be tempering. The heart had to reach ten times one’s training level to completely fuse with the space of the Mountain and River Diagram. Thus, if Ye Mo wanted to edge towards fusion with the Diagram, he would have to improve his mental strength as well.
“The Realization Seal is a good heart-tempering method. Now that I’ve advanced to the Second Tier of the Transcendence Realm, only Level Four Tier-Eight Seals can help me improve my strength.”
The Realization Seal was a potential method, and another was to find some heart-tempering spirit liquid.
“The Mountain and River Diagram contains heavenly treasures,” Hong Ling said. “They’re extremely difficult to find. But, if you combine your heart with the space of the Mountain and River Diagram, not even an ant will be able to escape your sight within the painting.”
“Let’s go,” Ye Mo said. “Since the Diagram has already been cultivated, spatial fusion is nothing more than a matter of time. But returning to the Door of Desolation might prove to be quite troublesome.”
Ye Mo exited the Mountain and River Diagram before picking up the painting. In the future, he could make breakthroughs in training while hiding in the Mountain and River Diagram. No matter how much of a commotion he caused, no one would ever find out.
