The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1296 - 1297: Facing the Enemy

Within the Bodhi Palace, Ye Mo was also in seclusion practicing, but he was inside the Genius Badge. He now discovered that using the Genius Badge in the Vanquishing Martial Realm would be much less effective. The stronger the spatial plane, the slower the flow of time. Perhaps the second layer of the Genius Badge was modeled after the immortal world.

"Ye Mo, something’s happening!"

Suddenly, a voice came from Hong Ling.

"What’s happening?"

Ye Mo snapped back to his senses and asked.

"Ancestor Bodhi has called for an emergency meeting. Including your mother, the Six Deputy Commanders, and the strongest ancestors from each major family have all urgently gathered, something big has surely happened."

Hong Ling said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo’s body moved and he emerged from the Genius Space. Could the Army of Wraith have already attacked?

Thinking of this, Ye Mo walked towards the Council Hall. He then saw that numerous martial artists were hurrying into the Council Hall, almost all of whom were Divine Venerate Realm practitioners.

Only Divine Venerate practitioners were qualified to enter the Council Hall.

And guarding the entrance of the Council Hall were strong practitioners at the Wheel of Reincarnation Peak, looking solemn.

As Ye Mo was about to enter, they stopped him.

"Hold it, those below Divine Venerate Realm are not allowed to enter the Council Hall!"

One of the guards said.

"I am Ye Mo, let me in!"

Ye Mo said calmly.

"The commander ordered that only Divine Venerate practitioners are allowed in the Council Hall. You’d better just focus on your cultivation."

The guards naturally recognized Ye Mo, but they still did not let him in because of his identity. Ancestor Bodhi had especially instructed them not to allow Ye Mo inside.

Ye Mo frowned, but did not force his way in. Instead, he moved to a hidden corner and let his Heart Force probe into the hall to find out what was happening. It was then he realized the entire hall was shielded by an energy membrane.

"Trying to block me, no way!"

Ye Mo chuckled lightly, directly using the Eye of the Divine Beast. Suddenly, his vision opened up, and inside, most of them were prominent figures from the Six Great Powers.

Furthermore, Ye Mo noticed that Mu Yazi, the champion of the previous Lingwu Talent Competition, was also standing in the hall.

Ancestor Bodhi was seated at the head, his expression solemn. After all the key figures gathered, Ancestor Bodhi opened his mouth and said, "Mu Yazi has already told me everything. The masters from Wraith Land have broken into our Lingwu Continent. All the people we sent to guard the fortress in the far south have died at their hands."

As his words fell, all the Divine Venerate practitioners present frowned. It seemed the Army of Wraith had finally struck.

"Holding the fortress at the far south were the elders of each family, all Divine Venerate-level power, and they all died at the opponents’ hands without a chance to escape."

Ye Mo was secretly alarmed and then felt a sense of powerlessness. If given a few more years, he might have had a role to play in this great battle.

Though he could contend with Divine Venerate Early Stage practitioners, he clearly wasn’t strong enough yet.

Moreover, Ancestor Bodhi had taught him the Soul Manipulation technique earlier, fearing even he might face incidents. If something happened to Ancestor Bodhi, then his mother, and his family’s ancestors might also face dangers.

"Damn it, although we won the battle in the Vanquishing Martial Realm, the power of Wraith Land speaks for itself. My current strength is still too weak."

This battle was basically a clash of Divine Venerate levels. A practitioner of the Reincarnation Realm couldn’t possibly be involved. A Divine Venerate practitioner could kill a Reincarnation Realm martial artist with a flick of the hand.

"Mu Yazi, speak!"

Ancestor Bodhi continued.

"I had a confrontation with one of their young practitioners. His age is about the same as mine, but his strength is formidable. In just a few moves, I was suppressed by him. If we were to really fight, I might not be his match."

Mu Yazi shook his head.

Mu Yazi also frowned; it was the first time he had seen Mu Yazi show such an expression, indicating the opponent’s strength was indeed strong.

"Mu Yazi, you are the champion of the previous Lingwu Talent Competition and well-developed, how can you belittle your own influence?"

One of the Divine Venerate experts said.

"I am not belittling myself; the opponent must be a genius of Wraith Land, especially the blood blade in his hand, which could contend with my Tyrant’s Blade. It must also be an Ancient Immortal Artifact. Truly fighting, my chances are not great."

Mu Yazi said truthfully.

Immediate discussions broke out in the hall again.

"Furthermore, they have not dispatched Divine Venerate Late Stage martial artists this time, intending to pressure us."

Mu Yazi continued.

The opponent not sending out Divine Venerate Late Stage martial artists certainly did not mean they didn’t have any. They wanted to conceal their strength because the number of Divine Venerate Late Stages determined the peak strength of a continent.

And unless forced to the last, no one wanted to escalate the battle to the Divine Venerate Late Stage level.

"Alright, now that everyone understands the specifics, let us prepare thoroughly. Divine Venerate Late Stage practitioners should not make a move; if forced, the opponent will send their Late Stages. First, we’ll test each other’s strength."

Ancestor Bodhi said.

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded.

After the meeting, the Six Great Powers sent their Divine Venerate practitioners to duel with the strong practitioners from Wraith Land. However, the battle level was kept at Divine Venerate Middle Stage.

Of course, in this war, both sides suffered casualties, but the most remarkable was the confrontation between Xue Wudi and Mu Yazi.

For a whole month of combat, the two almost fought hundreds of times, each time almost ending in a draw. However, the people of Lingwu Continent all knew that Xue Wudi was very strong, especially with the Blood Light Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand, which carried spiritual attacks, leaving martial artists with weak soul cultivation helpless.

The slightly affected would have a wounded Soul Sea, unconscious and unable to wake; the severely affected would have their Soul Sea shattered instantly, leading to death.

During this month, Lingwu Continent lost many Divine Venerate Realm practitioners, especially with Xue Wudi’s significant performance in the war, able to fight against Divine Venerable Six Souls masters, giving Lingwu Continent a sense of oppression. If this continued, all Divine Venerate practitioners would be slowly consumed by the opponent.

Just when Lingwu Continent was urged to deploy Divine Venerate Late Stages, Xue Wudi, representing Wraith Land, challenged Lingwu Continent to a duel with Mu Yazi.

If Mu Yazi wins, the war will end, but a negotiation and agreement will be required. The content of the agreement is negotiable.

However, if Xue Wudi wins, Wraith Land will send out Divine Venerate Late Stage practitioners to launch a final assault, completely occupying Lingwu Continent.
