The expressions of the three shifted when they heard that. If Sima Liang’s main body arrived, they would definitely die. However, they did not dare to stop attacking as well. They were currently clashing in True Energy, reaching a point where they couldn’t stop without the death of one party. The one to first stop attacking would definitely suffer a grave injury.

“Haha, just wait for your death obediently.” Sima Liang poured out his True Energy madly as he blocked the attacks. Then, the turned and looked at Ye Mo and said, “Kid, do you see this? This is the consequence of provoking me. Do you think these three True Energy Realm geezers can stop me? My true body will be here soon. You will all die a miserable death.”

“I doubt you can last long enough to see your main body arrive.” Ye Mo then broke off the True Energy chain and leisurely walked towards the four. “Do you think a tiny True Energy chain can bind me?” One step at a time, Ye Mo walked towards them. Where they were fighting, a huge barrier had formed. Even an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior wouldn’t be able to enter. However, Ye Mo was able to directly step inside. His body was like a bottomless black hole as the leftover True Energy in the air started warping before surging into his body.

“How is that possible? As a mere Energy Shaping Fourth Realm warrior, how can you break free of my True Energy chain?” Disbelief filled Sima Liang’s eyes as he said, “Kid, have you cultivated some high end cultivation method? How can you break free of my True Energy chain so easily? Even an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior shouldn’t be able to do that.”

When Sima Liang saw that Ye Mo was silently walking towards him without saying anything, Sima Liang continued speaking, “Kid, don’t you think that you can turn this around just because you can break free of my True Energy chain. The four of us are having a True Energy clash. An energy field has formed around us. The nearer you get to us, the stronger the energy field will be. Even an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior would directly be bounced away after getting near this energy field.”

“Ye Mo, the young master has told me to protect you. Take this chance to run. Don’t return to the Ancient Martial City. That guy’s main body is definitely heading this way from the Ancient Martial City,” Hu Fei yelled.

“Run? You think he can run? Can an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm warrior escape the pursuit of a Heaven’s Gate Realm expert?” Sima Liang said in disdain.

“Of course I will be running. Before that, I need to get some interest from you.” As Ye Mo spoke, he slowly reached out towards Sima Liang.

“Don’t get near Sima Liang. You will be injured by the backlash!” Hu Fei started yelling.

“Hah. You are overestimating yourself.” Sima Liang was so happy he had a wide grin on his face. At the same time, he still maintained the vicious and sinister expression. An Energy Shaping Realm kid actually dared to approach the energy field of their battle. This was no different than suicide.

Alas, it was as if that violent energy shield did not exist for Ye Mo. Using the Rising Dragon Pillar, the energy entered Ye Mo’s body through his palm bit by bit. His palm was like a bottomless lake, and using the same palm, he grabbed onto Sima Liang’s shoulder.

This energy field was indeed powerful. If it erupted in power instantly, Ye Mo would be reduced into nothingness by the impact. Unfortunately, the energy shield was not directed at him. Therefore, Ye Mo was able to use the Rising Dragon Pillar to devour the entire energy field, fueling the awakening of his Dragon Power using the devoured energy.

“I am now a dragon incarnate. A dragon will never remain trapped. It will soar in the skies, killing all men or gods that dare to block its ascent!” Suddenly, Ye Mo bellowed. Then, the black whirlpool within his body started revolving at an insane speed. A berserk Devour Power appeared and devoured Sima Liang’s clone.

“Kid, what are you doing? What exactly is hidden in your body? How can you devour my True Energy?” Sima Liang was shocked when he found that the True Energy within him was slowly being drained out. He could no longer maintain his calm. He could clearly feel that the True Energy within his body was madly rushing into Ye Mo’s body.

Even the three True Energy Realm old men could feel the drainage of the True Energy they were releasing.

“Devour!” The entire clone was absorbed into Ye Mo’s body by the boundless Devour Power. Like a vast ocean, the huge amount of energy erupted within his body. All of the energy was absorbed by the Rising Dragon Pillar.

A Heaven’s Gate Realm expert would require at least three months to form a clone. If one gave this some thought, one would be able to imagine the amount of energy spent if even a Heaven’s Gate Realm expert had to use three months to form a clone.

It was precisely this huge amount of energy that had turned into the fuel for Ye Mo’s Dragon Power.

Howl! Howl! Howl!

On the Rising Dragon Pillar, numerous black dragons opened their crimson eyes. One, two, three, four, one by one, the dragons awakened. A total of 200 dragons had awakened this time.

Two hundred dragons were awakened at the same time. Two hundred strains of Dragon Powers entered Ye Mo’s five Mortal Gates which already contained 800 strains Dragon Powers previously. Currently, each of his Mortal Gate could hold 200 strains of Dragon Power.

His Yuanli was becoming more and more dense. At the same time, his body was undergoing a transformation. The Five-Elements Energy permeated the organs in his body. When he closed his eyes and observed his body with an internal sight, he could see that his organs had all combined with the Five-Elements Energy, turning into gorgeously colored organs. His organs now carried a slight trace of the aura of beasts that were both vicious and ferocious.

At Energy Shaping Fifth Realm, one’s Yuanli would start improving one’s organs, strengthening every inch of one’s body. Even if an attacking force was able to penetrate into one’s body, one would remained unharmed.

After devouring the clone of a Heaven’s Gate Realm expert, not only had Ye Mo awakened 200 strains of Dragon Power, he had also entered the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm, allowing his body to undergo yet another transformation.

“Thank you for your clone. You helped me reach a breakthrough once again.” After devouring Sima Liang’s clone, the aura surrounding Ye Mo had strengthened considerably. His body seemed taller as well. He now had the physique of an adult. This was all thanks to the body transformation he went through after breaking through to the next level. From his physique alone, he no longer looked like a 16-year old youth.

“How is this possible? Ye Mo, what exactly did you do to directly devour Sima Liang’s clone? Moreover, the moment you touched his clone, even the True Energy we released were devoured by you as well,” Hu Fei asked in astonishment.

“It’s not the time to talk. Sima Liang’s main body is still heading here. The four of us are not a match for him.” Rather than answering his question, Ye Mo changed the topic.

“What should we do then? We won’t be able to return to the Ancient Martial City in time,” Old Mo said.

“The two of you followed me just for the ruined map in my hand. The ruined map might be important, but preserving your lives are more important. There is still a tiny trace of Sima Liang’s True Energy left here. He is definitely aware of what happened here. I think it’s still better for me to leave the ruined map here and retreat for now.”

Then, Ye Mo took out the ruined map that had been rolled up from his storage ring and tossed it into the huge crater that had been created during the battle. Next, he started fleeing towards a certain direction. Hu Fei glanced at the ruined map that was left on the ground. He did not feel even a tiny bit of greed. Instead, he left as well.

When Old Mo and Old Zhao saw this, they exchanged glances before shooting straight towards the crater, both reaching out at the ruined map.

“Those two greedy geezers will definitely pay the price for their greed. Since that Sima Liang is attaching such an importance to this ruined map, the other half of the map is probably with them as well. What comes next is not something I am qualified to get involved in.”
