Chapter 747: Flaming Bridge

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After destroying the image of the Ancient Battle, Ye Mo and Yao Yue found themselves in an empty space. The natural aura in their surroundings was extremely rich. When the aura came into contact with Yao Yue and Ye Mo’s energies, it set off rippling waves that expanded outward indefinitely. The waves rumbled like an unending thunderclap.

There were mountains around, and the whole area looked completely empty. Patches of ground had burn marks, and here and there smoke trails still rose into the sky. The whole place resembled nothing more than an abandoned battleground, and, after what Ye Mo and Yao Yue had just seen, they were inclined to believe it was.

In the center of the space was a grand and a solemn-looking palace, with an air of history and grandeur. The palace gave off a huge amount of pressurizing force just by existing in the same space as Ye Mo and Yao Yue.

There was a man loitering outside the entrance into the palace.

“A fighter in the intermediate stage of the Profound Heaven Realm?”

Ye Mo went closer to get a clearer look. It was a fighter in the intermediate stage of the Profound Heaven Realm. By the looks of him, he was a castellan participating in the competition as well.

“Who is that!”

Sensing Ye Mo and Yao Yue’s presence, the Two Star Castellan snapped to attention. Turning into a jet of blood light glow, he burst forward and landed beside Ye Mo.

“Two fighters in the intermediate stage of the Profound Heaven Realm? Have they also come here by accident?”

The Two Star Castellan wondered to himself calmly as a hint of killing intent flashed across his face.

“What? You want to kill us? Take our Demon Crystals?”

Ye Mo immediately caught onto his opponent’s intentions, his expression hardening. “I suggest that you give up on any such ideas. Speak, what is that palace? Why haven’t you gone inside?”

“Gone inside?” The Two Star Castellan asked. “There are already seven people who had gone in, including one Seven Star Castellan It’s been a half a day, and they have yet to come out.”

“I see.” Ye Mo nodded. “Little Yao, let’s head in and take a look. I’m getting an increasingly strong feeling from that palace.”

“Alright!” Yao Yue nodded her head as the two of them flashed past the Two Star Castellan and prepared to enter the palace.

“Are you two seeking death?” the man asked their retreating figures. “Even a Seven Star Castellan hasn’t come out from that place. You think you two, a Profound World Realm fighter and a Profound Heaven Realm fighter in the intermediate stage, are going to do any better than them?”

“That’s right. We’re seeking death.” Ye Mo, ignoring the Two Star Castellan, headed straight to the entrance of the palace.

“If that’s the case, then leave your Demon Crystals behind!”

Just as he spoke, he saw Ye Mo turning around wildly. He unleashed a gigantic palm strike. The Two Star Castellan’s eyes widened as the palm strike got closer to him. The palm strike eventually landed right on his head.

The palm strike released its destructive aura.

Boom!

Just as the Two Star City Master was about to make his move, his brain was smashed open like a watermelon before he could do anything.

“How clueless.” Ye Mo used the Devil Refining Gourd to deal with the corpse.

Cultivating corpses didn’t reap any rewards in terms of abilities, but cultivating the Profound Mark-generating Heart did. Furthermore, the more Profound Marks on a Heart, the greater the amount of power that could be generated.

Once they entered the palace, Ye Mo felt a frightening aura pressing down on them.

It felt like facing an elite fighter in a huge battle. They might not have attacked you yet, but their aura was enough to shatter you to death.

As they walked forward, Ye Mo and Yao Yue were wrapped up by a Will.

Countless silhouettes appeared from all directions. Each shadow towered over them, but they all fell, one by one, bleeding uncontrollably. As every shadow dropped to the ground, their blood dyed the ground red, eventually turning the whole room a bloody-red color.

The bloodbath sent a tinge of fear into Ye Mo’s heart. He almost felt as if he would follow suit and collapse like the other shadows, and almost ended up being consumed by the realm.

But, next, his hand felt a cold breeze, and the Will instantly dissipated. He saw that Yao Yue’s delicate hand held his own tightly.

“Ye Mo, don’t be sucked into these wills,” Yao Yue said. “No matter how strong they are, they’re all ultimately still wills. Without any distraction in your mind, there’s no need to fear.”

“Looks like I’m starting to fear death due to my worry for Yue Yue.” Ye Mo couldn’t help but smile.

“Yue Yue? Is that another woman that you’re fond of?” Yao Yue raised her brows and asked curiously.

“That’s right!” Ye Mo nodded his head, not intending to hide anything.

“Looks like she’s in danger,” Yao Yue said with a wink.

“Indeed.” Ye Mo smiled. “Let’s head in and take a look.”

Breaking through the realm of the palace, Ye Mo saw that there were as many as a hundred corpses lying in front of them.

“I’m afraid these are all fighters who fell into the realm and eventually died,” Ye Mo said. “Based on the dust on their bodies, it looked like some have been dead for a while, while others have just died. Since their bodies don’t rot, their strength levels must have been extremely high when they were alive.”

Ye Mo, who intended to take everything for himself, realized that these fighters didn’t have Xu Mi Rings on their fingers.

Ye Mo used the Devil Refining Gourd to absorb all the corpses.

Inside the palace, there was nothing but more corpses. But there was indeed a passageway.

Entering the passageway, they saw a complete and endless-looking Flaming Bridge.

On the bridge, there were flames hopping around, forming groups of Ancient Demon Monsters. It was a horrific sight.

Below the bridge was a seemingly endless void, as if one could fall down it forever.

With only one passageway in the huge palace, Ye Mo and Yao Yue became somewhat hesitant.

“There seems to be some restrictions placed on this space,” Ye Mo said gently. “Since we can’t fly, this Flaming Bridge is our only way out. I’ll head in, you stay here.”

With so many tricks up his sleeve, these flames were nothing to him.

“Let’s head over together, Yao Yue said. “Don’t you look down on me.”

The two of them exchanged another smile before stepping onto the Flaming Bridge. This bridge seemed to contain a type of spirituality. As the two of them stepped onto the walkway, the flames started to explode, and the flames closed to them rushed wildly toward them.

“Zhu Deity Domain!”

Ye Mo immediately unleashed the Zhu Deity Domain, protecting himself and Yao Yue. The Zhu Deity Saint Flames appeared above the Seal Text Wall, deflecting all of the flames.

But the more the flames were deflected, the wilder they became, taking on different forms as they charged toward the Seal Text Wall. But the Zhu Deity Saint Flame was ultimately still a Deity Flame – no matter how strong the flames were, they wouldn’t be able to best the Seal Text Wall protected by the Zhu Deity Saint Flame.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of a rumbling explosion could be heard. Ye Mo and Yao Yue, who were walking towards the center of the bridge, saw what was happening behind them on the bridge—the bridge was collapsing rapidly, far faster than Ye Mo and Yao Yue were going. The collapse was going to overtake them!

“Ye Mo, let’s go!” Yao Yue pulled on Ye Mo’s hand and sprinted forward.

“Xiao Yao, don’t run!” Ye Mo pulled Yao Yue back. He pulled too hard, though, and Yao Yue was flung right into Ye Mo’s embrace.

“Little Yao, look!”

Ye Mo pointed below. Yao Yue, lowering her head, saw that they were already floating in the air. And the chain-lock had already been completely destroyed.
