Chapter 762: Shenrui Temple

“What’s the Black Spear Technique?” Ye Mo asked curiously.

“Do you know why the Sky Blood Lady ended up being a legend who killed countless numbers of people?” Hong Ling asked. “She once fell in love with a fighter, but the fighter was killed by a clan while trying to protect her. Before that moment, she wasn’t overwhelmed by hatred, nor was she yet known as the Sky Blood Lady—a name that would strike fear into anyone for centuries. She worked hard to specialize in spear technique and her Sky Blood Spear technique, a set of skills that were completely opposite to the Black Spear Technique.”

“A completely opposite set of skills?” Ye Mo was somewhat confused. “What does that mean?”

“Even though the Black Spear Technique is also extremely powerful, it’s much more straightforward and direct, and wasn’t as suitable for killing,” Hong Ling said, a note of pride in her voice. “The Sky Blood Spear technique is the true killer spear technique.”

Every move of the Sky Blood Spear was a killer move, meant to exterminate.

“The Sky Blood Lady used the Sky Blood Spear technique to wipe out the whole clan,” Hong Ling said. “That’s also why she had so many people after her head, which eventually led to more and more killing.” She sighed.

“To think that the Sky Blood Lady actually had a heart,” Ye Mo said lightly. “If it was me, I’d have done the same.”

“But there’s something that you don’t understand, something that the Sky Blood Lady told me,” Hong Ling continued. “True power would come from fusing the Black Spear Technique with the Sky Blood Spear technique.”

“What? Fuse the Black Spear Technique with the Sky Blood Spear technique?” Ye Mo was somewhat confused.

“Once your mastery of the spear technique increases, a ray of spear aura will form inside your body,” Hong Ling said. “When the Black Spear Technique and the Sky Blood Spear technique are combined together, that is what true power looks like. If you come into some friction with the lady in black, perhaps both of your spear techniques will be perfected.”

Hong Ling laughed, but there was a tinge of weirdness to it.

Ye Mo knew that a greater spear technique would result in a spear aura being formed, like the Ice Fire Spear Aura that he cultivated. There was also the Sky Blood Spear Aura inside his body. It was that just that he had never paid any attention to it.

“You’re spouting nonsense. If I do anything to her, with her training level, she’ll definitely kill me.”

Ye Mo, understanding Hong Lin’s intentions, immediately rejected her idea.

After clearing the battle area, Ye Mo gained 300 more Demon Crystals. For the corpse of that ox king, Ye Mo simply absorbed him into the Devil Refining Gourd—it would take a lot of effort to completely cultivate it.

Returning to the main base, all of the castellans of the Five Element League were training. But what took Ye Mo by surprise was that Yao Yue was attempting to make it into the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm after absorbing the Primordial Shenrui Blood. This training speed exceeded even Ye Mo’s expectations.

As time passed, Ye Mo focused on the Black Spear Techniques over the next ten-plus days. As he continued to research, his level of understanding increased, and the Sky Blood Spear became more well-rounded and vicious. He also detected that fusing the Black Spear Technique with the Sky Blood Spear technique would really result in a boost in power. Just combining a few moves of the lady in black with his own would result in a significant increase in power.

“How powerful would it be if the Sky Blood Spear Aura and the Black Spear Aura were to fuse together?”

Ye Mo was quite excited. But that fusion would require a mixture of Yin and Yang. If Ye Mo was to issue this ridiculous condition to the lady, it was likely that she would kill him with a single spear strike.

In the blink of an eye, the Primordial Shenrui Divine Realm started. Ye Mo, with his improved spear techniques and the Sky Blood Spear advancing to become a mid-tier treasure weapon, was filled with confidence about battling Song Gang.

Furthermore, the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm had reached the third element. He secretly hoped that his journey to the Primordial Shenrui Divine Realm would allow for the two other elements to be instilled into his body. He was dying to see the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm—a palm technique that even Mu Longwu failed to train? How strong would it be?

“I’m guessing that there’s a huge group of castellans already headed towards the Primordial Shenrui Divine Realm.”

Ye Mo looked at the three light rays shooting from the sky and bursting out in one direction. Those three light rays were the three palaces that were flying towards the Primordial Shenrui Divine Realm.

Standing up, he realized that Yao Yue was already outside of the cave. Filled with strong aura across her body, every movement gave out an unbelievable chilling aura. She had evidently advanced to the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm.

“Little Yao, you’ve managed to make the breakthrough to the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm?” Ye Mo asked, surprised.

Yao Yue nodded her head, then frowned slightly. “Indeed. But, based on my current strength, it won’t be enough for me to get a spot in the Primordial Shenrui Divine Realm.”

Despite advancing to the advanced stage, she was only capable of defeating normal Four Star City Masters.

“Yao Yue, you all will stay in the cave,” Ye Mo said. “This time, I’ll work alone.”

“What? You’re going alone?” Yao Yue shouted. “It’s too dangerous.”

“That’s right, league master,” Zhou JIn said. “Let us go with you. Even if we’re just cheering from the side, we might actually be able to offer you some assistance.”

“Alright, then we’ll go together.”

After that, the members of the Five Element League headed straight to where the Golden Palace had descended.

The Primordial Shenrui Divine Realm was in the center of the Black Jade Mountain Range where there was a gigantic deity temple—the Shenrui Temple.

Since the Eight Formation Diagram was located in the temple, that was where the battle for spots was going to commence as well.

The Deity Temple Palace was the only place that could attract all the elite fighters across the Zone of Chaos.

Any castellan with the wish of entering the Divine Realm or exchanging resources would be there. Of course, fighters who didn’t make it into the rankings would there as well.

The four main leagues reached the Shenrui Temple. They were; the Man Tian League led by Man Tianhao, the Dragon League led by Hai Dalong, and the Assassin League led by Song Gang.

Bringing their own league members, and perhaps some of their own league disciples, they were evidently after the eight spots.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Waves of piercing winds echoed in the surroundings and the Five Element League’s castellans arrived as well. Their arrival naturally attracted the attention of many.

Ye Mo, who was in the Profound World Realm, attracted the most attention.

“The strongest fighter in the Five Element League is just a Four Star Castellan, and they dare to come challenge us for the Eight Formation Diagram? Our league can easily wipe them out. How foolish.”

The Dragon League and the Man Tian League’s castellans started to discuss among themselves.

Seeing Ye Mo’s appearance, Song Gang started laughing. “Hmph, Ye Mo really made it in time. Does he not know that my two companions are Man Tianhao and Man Tiancheng?”

But no one came up to challenge Ye Mo’s Five Element League.

As a Seven Star Castellan, and the strongest league on paper, Man Tianhao immediately started making bold claims. With his loud voice, almost everyone heard him. “By the looks of it, most of the castellans who are here for the Primordial Shenrui Divine Realm are present. The Man Tian League isn’t greedy – we’ll only take up four spots. As for the other four, you can settle it among yourselves.”

While offering up four spots seemed like a good thing, there was still a battle brewing inside the Divine Realm. With a Seven Star Castellan in the fight, Ye Mo would most likely not gain any advantage.
