On the side, the princess’s heartbeat accelerated when she saw this. She could see that two different auras had formed around Ye Mo and Li Tianqiong, one black and one gold. They did not move their bodies, only their wings fluttered behind them. Their auras clashed against each other, creating black and gold explosions. Both auras pushed the other back and forth, neither of them willing to concede defeat.

“Haha, you are the first warriors in many years to attract my attention,” Li Tianqiong said with a smile on his face. Inwardly, he was in great shock. The wings of the warrior before him were actually capable of clashing against his emperor wings. What martial technique had that person practiced to become this powerful?

“You are also the first warrior to have truly caught my attention. Regardless of the result of this battle, I am certain I will be able to learn from it,” Ye Mo said heroically, his face solemn.

“Kill!” Li Tianqiong could no longer hold himself back. A golden radiance bloomed like the sun from his hand. Countless sword beams shot out of the golden radiance to gather and form an Emperor Demonslaying Sword. The sword fluttered about in the air, projecting a sword will that contained three types of wills in it.

Li Tianqiong did not attack after releasing his sword technique. Rather, he started explaining the technique to Ye Mo, “I have combined three wills into this sword technique. The three wills are respectively demonslaying, devilbreaking, and judgment. They all reside within the sword technique, and without first defeating the three wills, you will eventually be killed by my sword.”

Tong Shan, who was standing by the side, was filled with shock. Combining three wills at this cultivation level was unheard of.

“Let me see how you deal with this technique!”

Swish!

Countless golden sword energies shot out towards Ye Mo. The sword energies blocked all of Ye Mo’s path of retreat. Ye Mo could feel extremely powerful wills hidden amid the sword energies. These were the wills of demonslaying, devilbreaking, and judgment. Each of these wills was extremely powerful, and their combination created something even more terrifying.

This seemingly perfect technique looked like something nobody below the True Energy Realm could counter. Looking at the majestic and numerous sword energies, Ye Mo shut his eyes. He entered a state of selflessness while the many sword energies criss-crossed in the air as they streaked towards Ye Mo.

Ye Mo stood there motionless and as the first sword energy was about to hit him, he shifted his posture in an extremely ingenious manner and dodged the attack. The remaining sword energies continued streaking towards Ye Mo. Ye Mo dodged all the sword energies, until, eventually, only one sword energy was left.

At this moment, still with his eyes shut, Ye Mo leapt up and dodged the final sword energy. His Dragon Power roared repeatedly as Ye Mo stabbed his Dragon Spear out. It was as if a dragon had been unleashed, instantly giving Li Tianqiong a feeling of being under Ye Mo’s suppression.

“How is this possible? He has entered the selflessness state? Looks like I have still underestimated him.” Li Tianqiong brandished the golden sword again as he yelled, “Sweeping The World!” The golden radiance shone resplendently as the golden sword trembled before a whistling sound rang out. An immense sword projection appeared up in the air.

He then sent the sword out. Although he had suppressed his cultivation to only Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, he was still incomparably mighty with his Emperor’s Technique.

“Sky Blood Cycle,” Ye Mo muttered indifferently, causing his Dragon Spear to suddenly enlarge. The spear than clashed with the sword.

Ye Mo had been able to unleash a tiny amount of the Will of the Sky Blood Spear on this attack. The Will of the Sky Blood Spear had also been fused with the Will of Slaughter, and combined with the Will of Destruction that came with the Purple Flame Spirit Qi, this attack was sufficient to block Li Tianqiong’s three wills.

The two weren’t holding anything back in their confrontation. After releasing Sweeping The World, Li Tianqiong’s face turn solemn as well. A dangerous presence enveloped his surroundings, threatening to cleave the entire world into two.

Bang!

The spear energy and the sword energy clashed and interwove, causing the entire hall to start trembling. Cracks were already appearing on the ceiling. Neither of the two in battle were aware that the ceiling was on the verge of collapse.

Li Tianqiong was inwardly exclaiming in admiration. An attack unleashed with his best effort had actually came to a standstill with Ye Mo. Nevertheless, this was not something he could tolerate as the ruler of the Tianwu Kingdom.

As for Ye Mo, he was inwardly shocked. This was already the strongest attack he could unleash, and still the opponent was not defeated. This was the very first time he had faced such adversary.

“Take this. Sky Blood Cycle!”

Ye Mo’s excitement level started growing as crimson layers started wrapping around his spear. Instantly, the crimson spread to create a spear energy that streaked forward towards Li Tianqiong.

“The hall is going to collapse. We can’t afford to keep waiting. Go take the Kraken Soul first.” Elder Tong Shan was unable to hold himself back anymore. While Ye Mo attacked, he charged towards the Kraken Soul.

“Brother, he is snatching the Kraken Soul,” yelled the princess.

When Li Tianqiong heard that, he frowned and secretly attached a stream of energy onto his sword before sweeping the sword forward. The sharp sword directly slashed Ye Mo’s blood whirlpool into two, also sending Ye Mo flying backward. Ye Mo crashed onto the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.

“Ye Xiao, are you okay?” Tong Lan immediately charged forth and held Ye Mo up.

“I have been defeated.” Ye Mo smiled bitterly. His Sky Blood Cycle wasn’t weak at all, but his opponent was able to easily counter his technique and had even injured him.

“I got the Kraken Soul!” Elder Tong Shan was overjoyed as he stretched his hand out towards the dark blue clump of radiance.

Swish!

A golden sword energy appeared, instantly sending Tong Shan’s arm flying. Then, Li Tianqiong grabbed forward, and the dark blue clump of radiance flew into his hand.

“Trying to take the opportunity to steal during our fight? It won’t be that easy.” Li Tianqiong had the dark blue clump of radiance on his hand as he gazed at Elder Tong Shan coldly. He spoke, “Consider this arm as your punishment.”

“Damn it, that person is too strong.” Elder Tong Shan held his arm with one hand as he started sweating profusely. He stared at Li Tianqiong vigilantly, not daring to do anything else.

Li Tianqiong had the Kraken Soul in his hand with his gaze fixed on Ye Mo. The previous attack was one where he had used his true power. That was how he had defeated Ye Mo with a single attack.

Of course, his pride caused him to feel extremely unhappy. Moreover, he had been forced to do that even though he had been battling with the cultivation realm of Energy Shaping Ninth Realm while Ye Mo was only an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior. It might have seemed like he had won, but in truth, this was his complete defeat.

Li Tianqiong stopped bothering with Ye Mo and the others as he started speaking to his sister, “Sister, the strength of this kraken must have been strong when he was alive. By accepting his inheritance, you will definitely be able to enter the True Energy Realm.”

The princess was extremely intelligent. She was naturally aware that Li Tianqiong had used his true power during the battle earlier. Of course, she would never mention that out loud. Slowly, she walked forward and accepted the Kraken Soul. A trace of excitement surfaced in her eyes
