Chapter 87: Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm

The Evil Merging Realm was the first will that the Sky Blood Lady had mastered. It allowed Ye Mo to infuse Evil Energy into the Formation-Breaking Spear. The Will of the Sky Blood Spear not only enhanced the spear’s damage output but also allowed the user to influence their opponent’s mind with the Evil Energy.

Man Hu could hear screams coming from the spear as a devastating scene appeared in front of him.

It was a beautiful lady dressed in silver armor and armed with a long spear. Her body was covered in fresh blood while she stood in a living hell. Suddenly, the lady swung the spear and aimed at Man Hu. Inches before the spear had reached him, the lady disappeared and was replaced by Ye Mo instead.

Man Hu quickly realized what was happening and thrust out his palm and shot stone-like energy towards Ye Mo.

The spear impaled the huge stone, and everything lit up around them. Cracks began to form on the stone.

“Energy Shaping!”

The stone was shaped using pure energy, and it shocked Ye Mo. He began to wonder if Man Hu had already reached the Energy Shaping Realm and quickly shook his head. If Man Hu were truly an Energy Shaping Realm martial artist, Ye Mo would never be able to hold his ground.

When the energy in the Energy center became dense, it would change into liquid form and store themselves in it. When a martial artist reached the Energy Shaping Realm, they could shape the energy into anything they desire, and it increased their attacks as well. Even 50 Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artists were no match for one Energy Shaping First Realm martial artist.

“He’s not at the Energy Shaping Realm yet, but he’s halfway there,” Ling’er said.

“You sure are strong, Ye Mo. Maybe the reason I still haven’t advanced to the Energy Shaping Realm was that I’ve yet to find a formidable opponent. I’ll kill you today and use the chance to break through!” Man Hu laughed and disappeared from in front of Ye Mo. He reappeared behind Ye Mo and threw his fist forward.

“You’re fast!” Ye Mo shouted. Man Hu was still at least a few dozens of feet away, but he’d closed the distance in an instant. That was when Ye Mo realized the how powerful a Half-Energy Shaping Realm martial artist could be.

Ye Mo did not hesitate as he pulled his spear towards his chest to block the attack.

The shaft of the Formation-Breaking Spear bent from the impact, and Ye Mo was sent flying a few feet back. He rolled a few times before he steadied himself and stood back up. The strength of a Half-Energy Shaping Realm martial artist was not something that Ye Mo could block with sheer force.

“You’re too weak! You won’t be able to kill me like that!” Man Hu said.

“But that doesn’t tell me you can kill me easily either!” Ye Mo laughed.

Ye Mo gripped the Formation-Breaking Spear and charged towards Man Hu. Even though Man Hu’s attack was stronger than Ye Mo’s, Ye Mo was still protected by the Rank One Dragon Blood under his skin. Unless the opponent were stronger than Energy Shaping First Realm, they wouldn’t be able to cause any damage to Ye Mo.

“Impossible! Is he a monster? He’d taken a few direct hits from Man Hu, and he’s still unharmed?”

“Maybe he has some treasure on him that blocks attacks?”

“Could be! Let’s attack him together!”

The remaining four Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artists looked at Ye Mo greedily as they thought that Ye Mo was carrying some sort of treasure on him.

They kicked the ground and evoked four huge energy palms. Man Hu also jumped upwards and pushed a massive energy palm towards Ye Mo.

The combined attack from five warriors, including one Half-Energy Shaping Realm warrior shook the forest and swept the pebbles off the ground.

“My body is protected by the Rank One Dragon Blood, attacks like these won’t be able to harm me even one bit!” Ye Mo roared and steadied himself. Five huge energy palms pushed down on Ye Mo, causing the ground to break and his shirt to erupt.

“That treasure is too powerful! He can withstand our attacks head-on!”

“Don’t stop! If it’s a Spiritual Weapon, then it needs him to keep supplying his energy! If he stops, then the protection will wear off!”

The palms became bigger and denser. Trees began to unroot from the ground, and winds began to blow. Ye Mo’s body was pushed down little by little from the pressure.

“It’s working!”

The Barbarians were wrong about one thing. Ye Mo was able to withstand the attack not because of some treasure, but because of the Dragon Blood. His body was sturdy enough to withstand any attacks from anyone weaker than the Energy Shaping First Realm.

That was the effect of the Rank One Dragon Blood, the bloodline of the Ancient Azure Dragon.

“Rising Dragon Pillar!” Ye Mo shouted, and a huge black hole appeared in his Energy Center. The five energy palms began to shrink as they were all absorbed into Ye Mo’s Energy Center.

Fifty dragons emerged from the Rising Dragon Pillar as they opened their red eyes and roared. Ye Mo was now truly as strong as a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm martial artist.

At the same time, the Five-Elements Energy Core began to change as his energy became denser. Ye Mo had successfully advanced to the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm.

That was the true strength of the Rising Dragon Energy Pillar. The stronger the energy-infused attack was, the more beneficial it was in raising Ye Mo’s potential. The Rising Dragon Pillar could absorb any form of energy that came in touch with Ye Mo’s body. Unless the attack was able to defeat Ye Mo in one hit, they would all become fuel for Ye Mo’s growth.

The five warriors could feel their energy weaken as the palms became smaller. They realized what was happening, but it was too late. Ye Mo had made his breakthrough, and he was in his top form, or even stronger. In contrast, the five Barbarian warriors were almost out of energy.

“Tremble in fear!” Ye Mo shouted, and he swung the Formation-Breaking Spear. The spear was coated with Evil Energy as Will of the Sky Blood Spear awoke. All of the warriors except for Man Hu couldn’t even react, and their heads fell off from their neck.
