Chapter 473: Desolate Ancient World Trial

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After cultivating for a month, Ye Mo had consolidated his strength at early-stage Heaven’s Strength Realm. He had also unsuccessfully tried to fuse the Will of Asura and Will of Death.

Ultimately, he gave up after Miao Miao told him that the Asura Dao was part of the Will of Six Daos and could only be fused with the Six Daos.

Right after Ye Mo arrived in the square, someone blasted a gust of Spirit Power straight at him.

It was a ferocious spirit attack, apparently attempting to destroy Ye Mo’s brain Mortal Gate completely.

Ye Mo reacted immediately. He looked toward one corner of the field, where the disciples of the Human Dao Palace were gathered. The person who had attacked him was a mid-stage Spirit Devour Realm expert. He had a sturdy build, while his skin was of a flickering azure color.

He wasn’t an ordinary human. He was a member of a rarely seen race with unique blood coursing in his veins and a special body constitution. He had a Diamond Goldsteel Physique, making his entire body as hard as diamond. The defense of the members of his race surpassed even the defense of true energy armors.

Many humans had the blood of some primordial races in their veins. Those mixes were nowadays known as special races. The Barbarians were one of them. Of course, this person’s race was nothing like a Barbarian. From birth, Barbarians were strong enough to topple mountains and overturn seas.

Ye Mo’s clan originated from the Ancient Azure Dragon clan, also considered a primordial race. The Ancient Azure Dragon clan was among the strongest.

This person’s aura seemed boundless and majestic, incredibly imposing. He was far beyond a regular Spirit Devour Realm expert.

That spirit attack was clearly intentional. Or perhaps, his action was incited by someone else in an attempt to reduce Ye Mo’s confidence.

His spirit attack was both stealth and powerful. Ordinary Energy Burst Realm experts would be coughing blood after being hit by that attack.

Mao Mao and Taiyi Qinglian were the closest to Ye Mo, and both were incredibly powerful. They were able to sense the spirit attack that was locked on to Ye Mo.

“Damn it. Who’s sneak-attacking my junior brother?” Mao Mao howled loudly.

His howl descended like rumbling thunder, and mixed among the howl was a trace of spirit attack. All the disciples retreated several steps backward by sheer instinct.

It wasn’t that they were afraid of Mao Mao. At most, Mao Mao was one of the strongest below Transcendence Realm. He had been stuck at peak stage Spirit Devour Realm for several decades, unable to breakthrough. Below the Transcendence Realm, it was hard to find someone capable of defeating Mao Mao. Among the disciples here, there were a lot of new and old disciples, with a considerable number of Transcendence Realm experts mixed within.

But behind Mao Mao stood Taiyi Qinglian, a Transcendence Sixth Realm expert. Everyone present feared her.

“Come back, Mao Mao,” Taiyi Qinglian said. “This attack contained the Will of Diamond. He’s definitely an expert from the race with the Diamond Goldsteel Physique, a rare expert. His name is Du Long. I once investigated him. He’s one of the few Spirit Devour Realm experts among the new disciples and has entered the Human Dao Palace. Each of the Asura Palace disciples is a genius. And with Ye Mo being the only disciple we’ve accepted in the past 50 years, it’s natural for him to receive everyone’s attention. It is normal that some prideful people would be itching to test his strength.”

“Diamond Goldsteel Physique? Can he even compare to your Green Lotus Power?” Mao Mao said with disdain.

Taiyi Qinglian frowned but didn’t say anything. She stood silently behind Ye Mo.

Today was the Desolate Ancient World trial. Ye Mo would definitely be a target of the other five palaces. Whether they could regain their dignity today would rely entirely on Ye Mo.

“That Ye Mo doesn’t seem like a pushover. After being struck by Du Long’s spirit attack, he’s perfectly fine. Or perhaps he had swallowed back the blood he coughed for the sake of appearance?”

“Don’t look down on Ye Mo. Although his cultivation level is nothing special, his speed of growth is incredibly scary. When I first saw him, he was only at late stage True Energy Realm, but now he’s a Heaven’s Strength Realm expert. Two advancements in one month, that’s a terrifying speed.”

“So what if his advancement speed is fast? Some warriors get their seniors to reduce their cultivation and inject their true energy seeds into their bodies to push their cultivation level up, giving them a fast advancement speed. But in the end, those warriors all die due to unstable foundations.”

“But since Ye Mo was able to get through the Asura Dao’s trial, he definitely has his own trump cards.”

“Looks like this year’s Desolate Ancient World trial will be interesting. I wonder how the five palaces will insult Ye Mo when the trial starts.”

Many people, new and old disciples included, started discussing.

Ye Mo ignored all of them, focusing on scanning his surroundings. During this trial, there would be Inner Peak elders waiting for the results, but nobody knew where the elders would be hidden.

And since Inner Peak people would be coming, Ye Mo wanted to see if Xiao Yue was among them.

Unfortunately, reality proved disappointing. He couldn’t see Xiao Yue.

Slightly disappointed, Ye Mo stopped looking around. Then, as he thought of something, his eyes lit up. If he could get an outstanding result during the Desolate Ancient World trial, his name would be sure to reach Xiao Yue’s ears, and she might come looking for him.

When Ye Mo thought of that, his heart soared. He started meeting the various eyes staring at him, glaring back aggressively, not intending to back down.

With his eyes, he told everyone to come at him if they had the guts!

Since he had joined the Door of Desolation, he had already offended quite a lot of people. One of those people was Jian Xing of Human Dao Palace. He was the cousin of Jian Kuang, and, during the trial, he would definitely be one of the people moving against Ye Mo. Lin Langya would have told some people from the Beast Palace to deal with Ye Mo as well. As for the Human Dao Palace with the highest number of disciples and experts, Di Long had already revealed his enmity toward Ye Mo.

But Ye Mo wasn’t afraid. He would use his own strength to prove that he was the strongest newcomer. He would defend the honor of Asura Palace.

As the atmosphere became heated, the sound of a bell suddenly rang out in the air. Everyone looked up toward the sky.

A figure appeared in the sky. Standing on a clump of cloud, a man floated down. He was dressed in a loose robe and was an imposing-looking middle-aged man. His aura was far stronger than Taiyi Qinglian.

He was an elder from the Inner Peak.

“Everyone, all of you are the most talented geniuses picked from the various races and kingdoms of Zone of Desolation,” the elder said. “It has been one month since you all joined the six palaces. During this last month, you have been provided with the best missions, cultivation resources and environment for growth. How much you have all grown will be revealed within the Desolate Ancient World. This is an extremely rare chance for all of you. Only by performing outstandingly will you be able to attract the attention of the grand elders from the Inner Peak. Perhaps you might even attract the attention of several grand elders at once. That is your only hope to rise to the top with a single step, starting your path to becoming a powerhouse. Otherwise, if you will be forever stuck cultivating in the six palaces, it will be hard for you to rise above others.”

Everyone was shaken. It would be hard to rise above others just cultivating in the six palaces? What cultivation level was this elder referring to exactly when he mentioned rise above others?
