“Level Two Dragon Blood Strength?”

Ye Mo’s eyes lit up. When he previously battled with Mo Feng, he made use of the Dragon Blood to strengthen his body, reaching Level One Dragon Blood Strength. The invisible layer of defense it created around his body rendered any Energy Shaping Realm attack useless.

Ye Mo was excited to see what kind of changes the Level Two Dragon Blood Strength will make to his body.

“Unleashing the Ancient Azure Dragon Blood was fortunate on your part. Use the Rising Dragon Pillar to absorb the Dragon Blood Power into your body and morph with it again,” suggested Ling’er.

“Alright!”

Ye Mo awakened the Rising Dragon Pillar. A black spiral appeared once again, with Ye Mo’s body unleashing an unbelievable amount of force in all directions. The dragon blood unleashed also slowly entered Ye Mo’s body.

If Ye Mo looked inside, he would see the limitless amount of dragon blood reaching the surface of the layer and taking its shape. However, there remained some dragon blood that was not able to morph together with the protective layer.

Combined with most of the dragon blood, the protective layer was extremely durable and almost steel-like, its surface giving out a gentle red glow, a very unique sight to behold.

This level of protective layer was not at the true Level Two Dragon Blood Strength, but the doubly strengthened layer was now able to block off inner force on the Energy Shaping Second Realm level.

The Ye Mo now would be able to withstand any attack from Hua Cuican and be completely unscathed.

This was the natural advantage of the Ancient Azure Dragon tribe, having the dragon blood to shape their bodies. When the dragon blood has perfected the body, then the true Ancient Azure Dragon with a flawless defense will be realized.

No one knew how strong the dragon’s defense truly was. Perhaps even the strongest fighters in the Divine Realm in China would have difficulties breaking through the defensive barrier.

The duration of the transformation was extremely short, merely a matter of a breath of time. Ye Mo’s inner body defense instantly received a leap in quality and strength.

“The dragon blood is not truly combined with the layer if it has yet to reach the Level Two Dragon Blood Strength. When you reach Energy Shaping Fourth Realm and become stronger, maybe you will be able to use the energy to strengthen your body and combine the residual dragon blood to reach Level Two Dragon Blood Strength,” said Ling’er.

Ye Mo nodded, not saying much. It could be said that he was blessed by a misfortune. If not for the overwhelming pressure of the Long Armed Ape Monkey, he would not have been able to unlock the power of the dragon blood.

This was the blood sensing danger!

“Father told me that I inherited my mother’s bloodline. Mother, what kind of person were you?” Thinking this to himself, Ye Mo was once again filled with curiosity about his mother, whom he had never met before.

“This Long Armed Ape Monkey King’s strength is frightening indeed – even fighters in the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm may not have been able to face it in battle. If not for my blood power being unleashed, I would not even have known how I died. Looks like I’ll still have to be more cautious in the future. Facing these uncontrollable beasts, the best is to escape first. Escaping from the jaws of death this time, I shall take less risks next time. If I die, what will happen to Yue Yue? What will happen to Qi Ying? What about avenging my father’s death?”

At that moment, Ye Mo realized that he had been too rash in the past. While fearlessness was an essential part of being a trained fighter, it was nothing compared to the duty of protecting one’s closest friends and loved ones.

Strength was about protection, not destruction.

“Brother Ye Mo, hurry and smash its head to take a look!” Ling’er’s voice rose again.

The Long Armed Ape Monkey’s defense was incredibly frightening; the fur on its body was as hard as steel. Even fighters in the Energy Shaping Realm, carrying magic weapons, might not have been able to cut the fur, let alone its skin and flesh.

It took Ye Mo a significant amount of time to barely force open the Long Armed Ape Monkey’s brain and extract a monster core the size of a fist.

The monster core might be considered to be in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm, but it was obviously different from normal monster cores: this core was gray in colour with a layer of seal texts that glowed on its surface.

“This is the generational memory of the Long Armed Ape Monkey!” Ling’er was immediately taken by surprise.

“Generational memory?”

“Yes, the Long Armed Ape Monkey is part of the Four Spiritual Monkeys in ancient history. It was an earth elemental creature, its long arms reaching the skies and through thousands of mountains. The few powerful techniques it displayed previously were from this memory. The Palm of Spirits was a technique in the High-Grade Mortal Level, an extremely rare one. If we can decode the texts, perhaps it will be possible to learn the method to master the Palm of Spirits,” said Ling’er.

Techniques in the High-Grade Mortal Level were extremely rare even in the Qingyun League.

“What is the meaning behind all these seal texts?” Ye Mo asked curiously.

“You’re asking me! How would I know? It appears to be some ancient markings – keep it for the time being. Perhaps I will regain the ability to read seal texts when I recover my spiritual powers.”

“There is still something around the waist of the Long Armed Ape Monkey. I shall go take a look!”

Indeed, there was a Dimensional Bracelet hanging on a branch. The Long Armed Ape Monkey was as intelligent as a human being and naturally collected technique pills to train.

Ling’er directly broke through the seal of the Dimensional Bracelet, and the contents inside made Ye mo gasp. There were at least a thousand Mixed Energy Pills, and hundreds of union passes that must have been collected from the league entry examinations of previous cohorts. Furthermore, there was a cauldron built with a magical stone – gentle like jade, clear like crystal, displaying an ice blue color. Its overall look was extremely unique.

The success rate of cultivating pills depended on the quality of the cauldron.

Ye Mo had alway wanted a high-quality cauldron!

Beside the cauldron were plenty of ingredients for cultivating Mixed Energy Pills of extremely high value.

“We struck a fortune!”

Ye Mo moved all the treasured goods from the Dimensional Bracelet into his own and kept the Dimensional Bracelet into his own as well.

“With so many Mixed Energy Pills, my training will be greatly expedited. When I reach the Energy Shaping Realm, I’ll see how Ye Changsheng deals with me. That Yun Shan dared lure the Long Armed Ape Monkey King to kill me as well – I will not forgive him.”

“Too bad that my Sky Blood Spear is no longer of any use... it looks like I will need to find a better one.”

Ye Mo looked at the broken Sky Blood Spear in his hand and gave a wry smile. The spearhead’s eyes also appeared to be in displeasure, as if showing contempt towards the broken handle.

The Black Rock Wood was already completely broken, not allowing the handle to be taken out. Ye Mo had no choice but to carry a broken Sky Blood Spear on his back, covered by the million-year frost spear pouch, with the Will of the Sky Blood once again sealed frozen.

After a fierce battle, the Unbreakable Mountain fell into silence. The dead were dead, the wounded were wounded. Of course, a minority of league members had already successfully entered the Magical Formation, going through a complete change and becoming Outer League members of the Qingyun League.

This test was akin to a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate for the league members. Besides royalty, only those who had truly entered the three major leagues could be considered as genuine talents, being given the enjoyment of luxuries only one in high society got to experience.

Ye Mo went ahead to bury the Long Armed Ape Monkey King before hurriedly heading towards the Central Formation.

“Qingyun League – how mysterious is this place? Also, who is the chief who handpicked Ye Changsheng? I am looking forward to meeting him!” Ye Mo’s eyes burned with the fierce glow of determination.
