The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 418
Chapter 418: Explosive Increase in Strength
The moment the two of them entered the Luosha Blood Pool, the calm waters started to ripple around them, creating spirals that spread away from them in all directions. Separated by tens of meters, the circular currents directly clashed against each other.
Bubbling sounds could be heard!
The two of them closed their eyes and channeled their Energy Centers. However, the current that was unleashed by the lady in purple pushed Ye Mo’s current away at a certain point.
Following that, two spiraling tornados centered around them and started to rotate slowly. The energy within the Luosha Blood Pool began to seep into their bodies through the pores on their skin.
Suddenly, the lady in purple turned around and asked Ye Mo while looking at him, “Which kingdom are you from? Your level of training is pretty impressive for you to be able to absorb the Luosha Blood Pool’s energy at such a speed. You’re not slow at all, and are unlike an actual fighter in the True Energy Realm’s intermediate stage.”
The scene resembled a man and a woman sharing a bath. However, with the two of them surrounded by purple-red blood water, this supposedly sensual image, there was a hint of eeriness added.
“I am from the Tianwu Kingdom. What about you? Your speed is more than twice mine. You must at least be in the Heaven’s Gate Realm.” Ye Mo was secretly shocked as well. This was the first time that he had met someone around his age who was of a higher realm tier than him.
“Tianwu Kingdom? Isn’t that the worst-ranked kingdom? To think that they were able to nurture talent like you. I am a fighter from the East Dragon Kingdom,” The lady in purple said.
“East Dragon Kingdom? Why are you here in the Luosha Kingdom?” Ye Mo was unaware of the existence of such a kingdom but he could not help but ask.
“The East Dragon Kingdom is a mid-tier kingdom. However, it was suddenly attacked and destroyed by a powerful organization. Even our Emperor was killed by their elite fighters. Within a month, the whole of the East Dragon Kingdom was controlled by them. Even the name of our kingdom was changed,” The lady in purple said, a slight tremble detected in her voice.
A kingdom that was multiple times stronger than the Tianwu Kingdom destroyed by an even stronger force within just a month. Furthermore, the whole kingdom was now completely under new control. In the history of kingdoms, the fall of a kingdom represented the rise of a new one. Only those with power had the right to dictate matters.
Hearing her words, Ye Mo was also extremely shocked – how powerful a force must it have been for even a mid-tier kingdom to be destroyed?
“This!” Ye Mo was in shock and speechless.
“What about you? Why did you come to the Luosha Kingdom?” The lady in purple’s voice was still calm.
Ye Mo laughed out loud. “Haha, I’m not that far off from you. I was being pursued by royalty, which eventually led to me escaping out of the Tianwu Kingdom to save my life.”
“My name is Zi Yi. People call me Ah Zi.” Perhaps it was because of their similar fates, or the fact that both of them were in the blood pool, but Zi Yi could not help but start to introduce herself.
“Ye Mo!”
After their respective self-introductions, the two of them resumed being submerged in the powers of the Luosha Blood Pool. Towards the end, Ye Mo realized that this blood pool’s energy was indeed extremely difficult to absorb – it was too thick and rich, and could only be extracted drop by drop.
“This absorption speed is way too slow. However, Ah Zi is much faster than me. I wonder what will happen if I awaken the Rising Dragon Pillars?” Ye Mo’s eyes sparkled as he started to awaken the Rising Dragon Pillars. A black whirlpool rose from within his Energy Center.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In an instant, a gigantic purple-red spiral aimed at Ye Mo started to emerge violently. The whole surface of the blood pool started to ripple.
At that moment, Ye Mo wildly devoured the energy within the Luosha Blood Pool like a dryer. Every pore of his skin unleashed a frightening amount of suction power as the blood waters in the pool started to boil as well.
“Such great power!”
The Luosha Blood Pool’s energy poured into his Energy Center wildly. It took two hours of effort to awaken a thousand rays of the Bright Dragon Power. Ye Mo’s emotions were filled with both delight and shock – the energy inside this Luosha Pool was indeed incredible.
Furthermore, after the Rising Dragon Pillars were done with absorbing the energy, it left a hint of purple-red residual energy which floated within his Energy Center like a thin layer of mist.
Ye Mo continued awakening the Rising Dragon Pillars and slowly absorbed the energy. As the amount of energy in the pool decreased, the waters started to become more and more transparent.
Time passed with every moment!
“I’m afraid that even the source of this sub-palace’s blood pool will end up being consumed by me if I continue absorbing. Things might get messy if that happens.”
Awakening 10000 rays of Bright Dragon Powers once again, Ye Mo stopped his absorption process. For this blood pool to continuously provide energy for others to take, there must be a supply source.
The devouring strength of the Rising Dragon Pillars was crazily powerful to begin with. It was extremely likely that in just a single session, Ye Mo had already absorbed more energy than everyone else combined since the opening day of the blood pool. At that moment, Ye Mo could feel that the strength in his body had doubled. He wanted to know whether a fighter in the advanced stage of the Heaven’s Gate Realm would be able to take a punch from him.
Following that, Ye Mo’s whole body shook. The huge layer of thin, purple-red mist inside his Energy Center charged towards Ye Mo’s right arm immediately.
“Hmph!” Ye Mo let out a subdued grunt as he felt a jab of pain on his right arm. Looking over, he saw that there was a new image on his arm.
It was the Luosha Mark.
Furthermore, this Luosha Mark’s appearance was different from that of Mu Qing’s – if the mark on Mu Qing’s arm was a small Luosha Ghost, the one on Ye Mo’s arm resembled the Luosha Ghost King.
“Do I have the right to participate in the Luosha Kingdom Fall Test now?”
Ye Mo glanced at the Luosha Mark on his arm. After that, his pupils dilated as he looked up.
With almost all of the blood pool’s energy having been absorbed by Ye Mo, the pool became transparent. As for Zi Yi’s body, Ye Mo almost saw everything.
Gulp.
Ye Mo lightly swallowed his saliva. This was the first time that he was truly observing a woman’s body. He could not take his eyes off her. Her body was extremely slim – one could call it the golden ratio. Her skin was delicate and smooth like an emerald jade. As he shifted his gaze downwards, he could see that she was wearing a tiny outfit that covered her private areas. Nevertheless, it was enough to make Ye Mo get all hot and bothered. This was a body that even Ye Mo could not resist. It was almost as if her body contained some kind of magical power that filled men with passion.
Swallowing again, Ye Mo felt his sight turning blurry. Waves of water rose before the pool became calm again. Zi Yi had already put on her clothes, firmly wrapping that perfect body.
“Are you done staring?” There was a hint of anger in Zi Yi’s expression.
Ye Mo let out an awkward, dry laugh. “A man’s instinct, a man’s instinct.”
Having already dressed, Zi Yi was so preoccupied with her annoyance that she did not realize that Ye Mo was completely naked inside the blood pool. With her face immediately reddening, she turned around and said, “Are you going to get dressed and come up?”
Ye Mo patted his head and immediately rushed up, nonchalantly putting on his clothes. He said, “That makes us even.”
Zi Yi said coldly, “If not for the fact that neither of us is from the Luosha Kingdom, I would’ve killed you for what you did just now.”
“How was your progress?” Ye Mo tried to change the subject.
“You’re asking me about my progress? You must be kicking me while I’m down, taking full advantage of me. I’m afraid I only managed to absorb ten percent of what you did.”
Zi Yi clenched her teeth. There was still some time left before the day ended. If not for Ye Mo, she would have been able to absorb some more energy.
