Ye Mo was in the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm and had already awakened 500,000 rays of Caged Dragon Powers. Merged with the Slab of Fortune, equipped with the Will of the Six Dao Cycle, Sky Blood Spear and the Deity Formation, even fighters like Li Tianqiong, who was in the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm, weren’t a match for him.

But in the Six Dao Palace were disciples who had already lived more than a hundred years, and those whose strengths were comparable to the likes of Liu Qingyun, Mu Sang and such. There were plenty of fighters with Tier Eight Transcendence Bodies, and many more who were in the Fourth Tier of the Transcendence Realm.

As a newcomer participating in the competition, Ye Mo’s powers paled in comparison!

“I’ve advanced too quickly recently,” Ye Mo said. “I’m afraid it won’t be possible to advance again soon. Some things should not be rushed.”

Ye Mo wanted to break into the Transcendence Realm as soon as possible in order to look the part in front of the other Transcendence Realm fighters.

But he understood that it was going to be an extremely arduous process. It wasn’t just about the accumulation of True Energy, but also a form of discovery regarding one’s powers. Before one reached that milestone, they would never be able to understand what it meant to be in the Transcendence Realm.

“Hmm? What’s this feeling?”

Just as Ye Mo was about to immerse himself in another round of training, a gigantic monster flashed through his mind. The monster was completely red and had two wings and a tail that wagged in mid-air. Every time the tail moved, it sent enormous tornadoes out.

Following that, the image became clearer and clearer. A frightening monster appeared in his mind. More accurately, it was the Ancient Dragon, hundreds of meters tall.

With the appearance of the Ancient Dragon Ye Mo’s blood started to boil.

“What’s going on?” Ye Mo asked. “Why was the Ancient Dragon involuntarily unleashed?”

The feeling was extremely familiar to Ye Mo. Every time he was met with danger, he would unleash the Ancient Dragon Bloodline in a fit of fury – this was something that had happened before.

Unlike other species, he could use the powers of the bloodline to boost his strength.

His maroon-colored blood boiling inside Ye Mo’s body. It flowed out of his body, engulfing it. The wings, tails, body, and tail of the dragon were on display.

With the blood flowing inside his body, Ye Mo took a look at himself and felt the changes in his body. This change made his powers increase even further.

But this change of uncertainty carried no actual meaning whatsoever.

“Ye Mo, what’s going on?” Hong Ling was surprised. “Why did you unleash the Ancient Dragon Blood?”

“I’m not sure either.” Ye Mo was confused as well. “When I was training, the Ancient Dragon appeared in my mind. I felt my blood starting to boil, which led to me unleashing the blood.”

“I get it now,” Hong Ling said. “Perhaps, while you were training, you made a connection with the Zhu Immortal Imprint, which helped you unleash the Ancient Dragon Blood. Try using your Heart Minion to cut off the imprint.”

“Alright, I’ll try!”

Controlling his Heart Minion, Ye Mo cut the connection with the Zhu Immortal Imprint.

Indeed, the image of the Ancient Dragon became blurry, then disappeared. The Dragon Blood that had engulfed Ye Mo’s body also slowly disappeared – it wasn’t caused by Ye Mo using his Rising Dragon Pillars, but something that happened on its own.

“Let me try again!” Ye Mo laughed in surprise as he used the Zhu Immortal Imprint to connect to the bloodline again. As expected, the image of the Ancient Dragon appeared in his mind. The blood-boiling sensation resurfaced.

“Hong Lin, if this is for real, I can use the Zhu Immortal Imprint to call upon the Ancient Dragon Bloodline at will and complete my Dragon Blood Transformation.” Ye Mo was elated – if he could utilize the bloodline transformation at will, his strength would rise to another tier.

“If I’m correct, your control over your bloodline strength is imperfect because you don’t have your clan to guide you,” hong Ling said gently. “But now that you have the Zhu Immortal Imprint to guide you, you’ll be able to unleash your Dragon Blood state at any time and complete the Ancient Dragon Bloodline Transformation.”

Ye Mo’s body was like a huge treasure chest. As long as he dug into it slowly, he would be able to find new treasured items – this Ancient Dragon Bloodline was exactly the case.

“Does it mean that I can unleash the Ancient Dragon Bloodline to strengthen my body?”

Ye Mo’s Dragon Blood Strength had only reached the third tier. Now that he could unleash the Ancient Dragon Bloodline at will, it meant that he would be able to strengthen his Dragon Blood Strength as well.

He tried it as soon as the idea came to mind. Unleashing the Ancient Dragon Bloodline, he finished his transformation.

Rumble, rumble!

Following the awakening of the Rising Dragon Pillars, Ye Mo’s body was like a black hole as the Dragon Blood seeped into his body through the slightly opened pores of his skin.

The traces of Dragon Blood that flowed through Ye Mo’s body gave him a type of indescribable pleasure.

Rapidly, Ye Mo’s body was imbued by a red glowing light.

Ye Mo slowly immersed himself in that state as his whole body started to channel the Iceheart Technique, submerging into sub-consciousness as he trained his Heart Minion.

As Ye Mo’s body strengthened, the Dragon Blood in his body started to disappear. Evidently, Ye Mo had already completely absorbed the Ancient Dragon Blood unleashed.

Till the third day.

As Ye Mo stopped channeling the Iceheart Technique, he did a lazy stretch and the bones in his body cracked. Ye Mo took a look inside his body and was shocked to see what he saw.

The membrane inside his body had become even thinner, to the point that it could barely be seen. But Ye Mo knew that the Dragon Blood Strength had already reached the fourth tier.

Recognizing that, Ye Mo clenched his fists and let out a gentle smile of unbridled joy.

Using the strength of the bloodline to strengthen his own body didn’t awaken his Caged Dragon Powers or increase his realm level. But the strength of his flesh had already reached frightening levels of durability.

The strength of his body had also increased significantly.

Ye Mo knew that the Fourth Tier Dragon Blood Strength was his limit. But, with the continuous leveling up of his training, as well as the power of the bloodline able to further strengthen his body, he could truly achieve the Dragon Defense.

Now, Ye Mo could withstand attacks from low-tier treasure weapons with his body and flesh alone.

“Ye Mo, now that you can control the power of the bloodline, I have something that I need to tell you,” Hong Ling said. “Don’t transform intentionally – the Ancient Dragon Clan is extremely mysterious. Once people find out that you’re one of them, they may have plans against you. Understand?”

“I understand. I’ll only use the transformation as a last resort.” Ye Mo nodded. Realizing that he didn’t have much time left, he stood up.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

At that moment, a calm bell rang across the whole area, reaching even Ye Mo’s ears, away in his room

After that, Miao Miao’s voice could be heard.

“Junior Ye Mo, how’s your training coming along?” she asked. “The Six Dao Tournament is starting soon, let’s head towards the Outer Peak. That’s the bell calling for participants of the tournament. When the bell rings, it signals that the tournament’s about to begin. Any Six Dao Palace disciples are allowed to participate in the competition. I’ll bring you to see those true geniuses of the Six Dao Palace.

As the bell rang, the Asura Dao Palace disciples all got up from their training position. With Miao Miao as the only one not participating, it was only natural that she would come and remind the most junior disciple in the palace.
