Currently, Ye Mo was completely engrossed in the breakthrough process. He did not even notice the princess leaving. Within his Energy Center, the Five-Elements Energy formed a complete energy clone with complete features such as nose, ears, and everything else. The clone was glowing in five colors.

This was the signature of a person who had advanced into the Energy Shaping Eight Realm: the appearance of an energy clone in one’s Energy Center. Of course, one had to build the energy clone with one’s own energy to actually make use of the clone. This in itself would be a great undertaking.

An Energy Shaping Eight Realm warrior would need to spend at least a month absorbing the natural energy from his surroundings before he could form a complete clone. And the higher one’s cultivation realm was, the longer it would require to complete one’s clone. Therefore, an energy clone would be extremely valuable for any warrior capable of forming one.

Howl!

Suddenly, Ye Mo opened his eyes and howled at the sky. Within him, 2,300 streams of Dragon Power erupted from his body and transformed into a raging sound wave that spread everywhere, causing the cave to start collapsing.

“Rising Dragon Pillar!” Ye Mo shouted again. The Dragon Power surrounding him converged on his right hand to form a huge Dragon Glove. He punched out, sending a terrifying force that tore the air apart. The impact from this punch accelerated the collapse of the cave.

The punch blasted a huge hole in the concealed cave. Brilliant moonlight shone into the cave through the hole.

“Finally, I have reached the Energy Shaping Eight Realm!” Ye Mo smiled in satisfaction as he gazed at the huge hole. Ye Mo looked around at the messy cave. When he noticed that he was the only one left in the cave, he smiled helplessly.

“Who was that woman? She left without saying anything after I did that to her?” Ye Mo shook his head and left without giving it much thought.

At this time, the sky had already darkened. Once again, Ye Mo returned to the Sea Serpent King’s cave. In the huge palace, Tong Lan and the other two were unconscious. As for the prawn and crab soldiers, they had all been sliced into pieces and were sprawled across the ground.

These were all True Energy Realm krakens but they had all been sliced into pieces by a single slash.

“Is that man the one who did this to all these krakens? Not even a Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouse could kill these krakens with a single slash.”

Ye Mo was incredibly shocked. If that man was truly this strong, it was only natural that Ye Mo had been defeated by him. It wasn’t because Ye Mo was weak, but it was because that man obviously had a higher cultivation realm than True Energy Realm.

Ye Mo ran over to Tong Lan. When he checked and confirmed that she had merely fallen unconscious, he heaved a sigh of relief. Before long, the three woke up. When they saw the kraken corpses littering the ground around them, they were shaken.

“Mr. Ye Xiao, did you kill all of them?” Tong Lan asked in shock.

They still remembered clearly what had happened earlier. When the 20 True Energy Realm krakens appeared, they were having difficulty even breathing. Now that they saw all the krakens split into pieces on the ground, they were in a state of extreme shock.

“I think the other man is the one who had killed them all. Even when fighting me, he had been holding back. He was able to kill these True Energy Realm krakens with one slash, and judging from how all the krakens were sliced apart on the same spot, it was clear that his cultivation level is extremely terrifying,” Ye Mo said while shaking his head with a frown.

If this person was from the Emperor Faction, than he would be a great rival in the future.

“You’re not too bad yourself. You killed the Tie Clan people all by yourself,” Tong Lan consoled when she saw Ye Mo frowning.

“Since the Kraken Soul has already been taken by that man’s sister, our only harvest are the five True Energy Pills and one Millennia Soul Gathering Pill.” Ye Mo had already gathered the Dimensional Bracelets of the Tie Clan and Mu Clan. He tossed both Dimensional Bracelets over to Tong Lan.

“How should we split the loot?”

“Mr. Ye Xiao, if it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to get these treasures. We might not even have survived at all. Tong Lan is too embarrassed to take the loot from you,” Tong Lan said while shaking her head. With the death of those people from the Tie and Mu Clans, the Tong Clan would be the most powerful clan in the city moving forward.

“How about this? You take all five True Energy Pills while I take the Millennia Soul Gathering Pill.” Ye Mo gave everything he got from the Tie and Mu Clans to Tong Lan and kept the Millennia Soul Gathering Pill for himself. He would be able to refine True Energy Pills at any time as long as he had the materials anyway.

“Ms. Tong Lan, it’s getting late. Why not stay here for the night? I have just broken through and I’m intending to test the effect of this Millennia Soul Gathering Pill,” Ye Mo suggested.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ye Xiao. We will guard you while you’re using the pill.” Tong Lan nodded in agreement. In any case, Elder Tong Shan had lost an arm and needed the rest as well. Therefore, the four reached an agreement to spend the night there.

Ye Mo sat down cross-legged and looked at the Millennia Soul Gathering Pill with a burning gaze. He clenched his fist and quickly ate the fist-sized Millennia Soul Gathering Pill.

Gulp.

His throat shifted as he swallowed the pill down.

Instantly, a boundless Ocean Power erupted within him and poured into his Energy Center like a raging current. The Rising Dragon Pillar started shaking. The black whirlpool appeared again and started devouring the Ocean Power.

Slowly, Ye Mo’s aura grew.

The black dragons on the Rising Dragon Pillar started separating from the Rising Dragon Pillar. One after another, the dragons awakened. 200 streams of Dragon Power. 700 streams of Dragon Power. 1200 streams of Dragon Power. 1700 streams of Dragon Power. 2200 streams of Dragon Power.

The dragons roared thunderously within his Energy Center. The roars managed to even wake Ling’er from her sleep. The entire hall started shaking. The momentum of Ye Mo’s breakthrough was even greater than the momentum of the awakening of those kraken soldiers earlier.

“What’s going on?” Tong Lan was shocked when she saw this. Was Ye Mo going to advance again?

With the Millennia Soul Gathering Pill, Ye Mo awakened 2200 streams of Dragon Power at once and went through a quantitative change. Now, 4500 streams of Dragon Power were coursing around within his body. Ye Mo’s inner body had already transformed into a world of dragons.

“Clone, form!” While the dragons awakened, Ye Mo tried to make a push to form his very first clone.

A regular Energy Shaping Eight Realm warrior would require at least one month to form his first clone. But Ye Mo had borrowed the leftover energy from the Millennia Soul Gathering Pill and the boundless Dragon Power within him to complete this feat.

He was relying on these different sources of power to form his clone right here. The streams of Dragon Power poured into his Energy Center to start forming the clone. The process of forming the clone could not be interrupted once started, otherwise, the entire effort would be wasted.

The 4500 streams of Dragon Power were sufficient to form a clone that was no weaker than Ye Mo. Time slowly passed and within his Energy Center, the black dragon clone was half done. Tong Lan remained awake and was guarding Ye Mo the entire time. When she saw that Ye Mo had not woken up from his meditation, she started growing anxious.

“People inside, listen to me. I am a member of the Sea Serpent Clan. Humans, you are not going to be forgiven for intruding into the dwelling of the Sea Serpent King.” Suddenly, a yell sounded from outside the palace. Numerous sea serpents appeared and hovered outside the palace.
