The sword in Zhou Jin’s hand was called the Tribulation Sword, meaning it could trigger Tribulations from the heavens. At that very moment, it was the four-star castellan Zhou Jin generating the power of the sword. Therefore, a three-star castellan could hardly resist its attack.
Kraka-Boom! Boom! Boom!
The frightening Lightning Tribulation struck Ye Mo’s body and made him stumble backward. His skin blackened.
“Uh! Ye Mo, how about you surrender to me right now?” Zhou Jin smiled coldly. “If I trigger another round of Lightning Tribulation, you’ll be dead for sure!”
Ptui!
Ye Mo couldn’t hold the massive internal hemorrhage back any longer and finally threw up a mouthful blood.
“Ye Mo!” Yao Yue’s face turned ashen and she rushed to Ye Mo’s side. She shouted worriedly, “Ye Mo, how do you feel?”
“I’m fine. You need to back off,” Ye Mo said softly.
“But…”
“Trust me, I can handle him.”
Ye Mo gently pushed Yao Yue away and wiped the blood off his lips. He said coldly, “The Demonic Thunder Sword Light? Just give me another taste!”
“You asked for it!”
Zhou Jin’s expression became even more malicious, murder in his eyes. He waved his sword again and pointed at Ye Mo. Instantly, the lightning and thunder started rolling again. The ear-splitting sound of the thunder echoed in the sky. This time, the Demonic Thunder was generated. Its power was far stronger than the regular thunder.
Kraka-Boom!
The terrifying Demonic Thunder Tribulation attacked Ye Mo’s body. Its power could reach the level of the Tribulation triggered by a cultivator advancing from the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm to the High-grade Profound Heavens Realm.
The spectators nearby were all in shock, because they knew no one present could possibly survive the attack just now.
“What an aggressive strike the Tribulation Sword just generated! It’s indeed a surprise that it triggered such a powerful tribulation from the heavens. But you can’t hurt me at all!”
After the thunder of the tribulation faded away, people saw a thin figure standing in the center of the attack like a shining spear.
“How is it possible? How is it possible that he withstood my attack?”
Zhou Jin was freaked out. The wielded his long sword again, generating more streaks of lightning and thunder. Those streaks, once again, struck the top of Ye Mo’s skull fiercely and gradually formed a cage of lightning and thunder. Within the cage, the lightning and thunder transformed into giant dragons entwining on Ye Mo’s body, shocking him endlessly.
Ye Mo, however, stood on the ground, motionless, crossing his arms behind his back.
Zhou Jin’s face turned pale. He withdrew his long sword and all the Thunder Light. To his surprise, it seemed that Ye Mo wasn’t injured at all. He stood solemnly and his body even began to generate some lightning streaks. At last, all of the streaks of lightning and thunder vanished.
“What the hell is happening here?” Zhou Jin snarled in astonishment.
“Haha, thank you so much, Castellan Zhou Jin. Thank you for helping me break through the Fire Element Indestructible Pagoda Tribulation.”
The nature of the lighting and thunder was the fire element. Ye Mo absorbed so much lighting and thunder while under the full attack of a four-star castellan. The only thing he could do was accept his attack without any resistance. Fortunately, Ye Mo’s defense was exceptionally strong, and the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm could also neutralize a part of the force in the attack. In fact, if it weren’t for the cultivation of the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm, Ye Mo’s fate would be much grislier.
But, although Ye Mo had used the fire element attack to break through the Fire Element Indestructible Pagoda Tribulation successfully this time, he didn’t dare repeat the trick ever again. After all, that fire element attack just now was such a deadly blow.
“What? The Fire Element Indestructible Pagoda Tribulation?”
Zhou Jin was dumbfounded. He had no idea what Ye Mo was talking about.
“Well, you’ve already generated three attacks now, but I haven’t be defeated. Will you keep your promise?” Ye Mo said calmly.
Zhou Jin was one of the most famous four-star castellans. To save his pride, he couldn’t break his promise. Moreover, it was nothing but the title of league leader. He wouldn’t lose too many perks because of it anyway.
“What’s done is done. There will be no turning back,” Zhou Jin said, sullenly.
The other four three-star castellans also made dissatisfied sounds, but didn’t say anything.
“Great! Then our league is now officially founded. Within the next two months, we’ll be a big family. Therefore, I’ll name our league ‘Five Element League’, what do you guys think?” With no objections, Ye Mo suggested the name of the newly founded league.
“Five Element League? Perfect. Five Element League it is then.”
The others didn’t raise any arguments. After all, the title was nothing but a name. As a matter of fact, within the Black Jade Mountains, more and more leagues would be established very soon.
Since the name of their league had been confirmed, Ye Me began to discuss their plan for killing the demonic beasts with the three-star castellans again.
“Zhou Jin, your cultivation is the strongest, so you’ll lead four Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm castellans to the demonic beasts hunting mission,” Ye Mo said. “I’ve also recruited two three-star castellans, which means we have six three-star castellans in total. Therefore, two three-star castellans will team up with two two-star castellans and lead them in the mission.”
“What about you?” Hua Feihua asked lightly.
“Since I’m the league leader, I’ll stay in the headquarter and control the overall situation. And all of you can reach out to me with the seals. Alright then, everyone, keep in touch. As soon as you encounter danger, inform your teammates immediately.”
After Ye Mo finished his instruction, the league members left, reluctantly, and began their mission of slaughtering the demonic beasts.
“If I want to complete the cultivation of the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm, I have to break through the Five Element Tribulation. But it’s not something I can accomplish in a short period of time. I’ve gotta speed up the advancement as fast as I can. Otherwise, my leadership of the league will be overturned very soon,” Ye Mo said calmly.
“Ye Mo, are those people gonna betray the league?” Yao Yue asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry about it now. At least, they won’t tear the league apart before some real crisis shows up. But anyway, even if they betray the league, I don’t mind fighting the battle on our own,” Ye Mo said with a smile.
Ye Mo told his members that he would stay at the headquarter to control the situation, but, in fact, he was planning on starting a seclusion again. Up to now, the Devil Refining Gourd had absorbed a lot of energy, so maybe it was enough to help him with another advancement.
As the old saying went, “sharpening one’s ax won’t delay the job of cutting wood.” Only with a powerful cultivation, could Ye Mo slaughter more demonic beasts. Moreover, he still needed to suppress Zhou Jin.
Because of those reasons, he had to prepare for another advancement. All of the energy absorbed by the Devil Refining Gourd was the catalyst for his advancement.
Ye Mo found a place that wasn’t too far away from the valley and sat down in the lotus position.
In order to accelerate the progress of his cultivation, Ye Mo had even used Transcendence Pills. But, after three days of cultivation, Ye Mo vaguely felt that he had a ceiling.
“Ling’er, withdraw all the energy from the Devil Refining Gourd for me,” Ye Mo said softly.
“No problem!”
After a crispy sound, the spout of the Devil Refining Gourd appeared in the midair and a strong flow of energy poured out. Ye Mo, sitting right under the spout, began to wolf down the energy into his stomach.
The massive flow of energy entered Ye Mo’s body, but Ye Mo didn’t use the Rising Dragon Pillar to absorb it. What he was trying to do was to accumulate the energy in order to generate his second Profound Mark. By doing so, he could release all of his power to breaking through the Mid-grade Profound World Realm at once.
Advancement to the Mid-grade Profound World Realm meant that he had to generate the second of the Three Low-grade Marks.
“Let’s make it happen now!”
The energy piled up for such a long time finally flew to his Transcendence and created lines of runes. As the generating process proceeded, Ye Mo’s strength grew, bit by bit.
The 8,000,000 steams of Profound Dragon Power within Ye Mo’s body started to increase again.
100,000 steams of Profound Dragon Power!
200,000 steams of Profound Dragon Power!
300,000 steams of Profound Dragon Power!
400,000 steams of Profound Dragon Power!
Ye Mo awakened another 2,000,000 steams of Profound Dragon Power, which brought the total number to 10,000,000 steams of Profound Dragon Power. Within Ye Mo’s energy center, a world of Profound Dragons was created. The ear-splitting roar of the dragons contained the power to destroy heaven and earth, rattling all the rivers and mountains in the world.
Ye Mo knew that wakening 10,000,000 steams of Profound Dragon Power was just a beginning. Till now, only one percent of the Profound Dragon Power had been awakened on the Rising Dragon Pillar.
But when would all of the power be wakened? Ye Mo looked forward to that day eagerly.
