Although the huge ape-monkey was already dead, its aura was still very powerful. Ye Mo was also able to feel a strong oppressive force originating from it even though he stood a distance away. If it was an ordinary Energy Shaping Realm warrior, he wouldn’t have dared to approach the huge ape-monkey.

“Could this be Saint Skyburn? Mentioned in legends that it has reached the Spirit Devour Realm?”

The True Energy Realm is split into five different realms, True Energy, Heaven’s Gate, Heaven’s Strength, Energy Burst, Spirit Devour. Spirit Devour is an existence at the peak of the True Energy Realm, just inferior to a power Transcendence Realm fighter.

Ye Mo’s heart skipped a beat, then almost immediately, he locked on to the golden stick in the hands of the ape-monkey. The stick was of a whopping seven feet long, emitting bursts of golden light, like the essence of a cluster of golden heavenly light. Within it contained immense power. Ye Mo believed that the Weapon Spirit of the stick must be very powerful!

“Could that be the Spirit Weapon, Primordial Gold Stick?” Ye Mo was in a momentary stupor, but through his instincts, he could feel that this weapon was much more powerful than Yao Yue’s Holy Snow Sword.

“I’ll just get it first!” Ye Mo rushed forward, his five fingers taking on the shape of a claw as he reached for the Primordial Gold Stick.

“Which alliance are you from? To even dare to put your thoughts on the Primordial Gold Stick, you’re courting your own death!”

All of a sudden, a furious roar came from within the ancient tomb and following right after, Ye Mo suddenly felt a chill behind him. When he turned around to look, he saw a towering armor-clad Ancient Corpse. The Ancient Corpse had an enormous steel knife in its hand and a pair of big black Yuanli wings that continued to flap behind it. Within the ancient tomb, fierce gales ravaged the air.

The Ancient Corpse swung its steel knife at Ye Mo, and images of the knife filled the entire space and nearly enveloped Ye Mo’s entire body.

Without any warning, the Ancient Corpse attacked Ye Mo with its strongest attack, a forceful direct suppression with the intention to swiftly eliminate the invader of the ancient tomb.

Ye Mo’s Sky Blood Spear instantly appeared in his hands, then he swung it around and repelled all the knife projections. But the Ancient Corpse was really strong, and with just a few knives, Ye Mo was sent flying.

Ye Mo was just at the Energy Shaping First Realm while his opponent was of the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm. Being able to hold his own against a surprise attack from such an opponent was already a considerable feat.

Ye Mo balanced himself, then stared at the armor-clad Ancient Corpse. From its swift and fierce attack, it was clear that it was no ordinary Ancient Corpse.

Seeing that Ye Mo was able to defend himself against its attack, a look of surprise appeared on the Ancient Corpse’s hideously horrifying face, and as it remained levitated in mid-air, it also had its eyes on Ye Mo.

“What cultivation method are you practicing, to be able to defend against my attack with just the power of an Energy Shaping First Realm? Wait, that isn’t right, you shouldn’t be this strong even if you had a Deity Level Cultivation Method. Could you possibly have a magical defense treasure on you?”

Ye Mo looked around the surroundings, and after sensing that there were no powerful fighters of the True Energy Realm in the ancient tomb, he immediately breathed easy and said, “You’re still so chatty after dying, don’t tell me that you’re planning on snatching my magical treasure?”

“Ha ha, I’ve hunted many league members recently, and although I’ve collected a fair amount of treasures, those were all rubbish. But the one you have should be pretty good.”

The Ancient Corpse charged towards Ye Mo with a flap of its wings, the steel knife in its hands glimmered, and almost instantly, it reached Ye Mo’s throat.

“Purple Flame Dragon Gate!”

Ye Mo was caught by surprise, but with a spread of his hand, a huge Yuanli Gate appeared before him and blocked off the Ancient Corpse’s attack. The Gate was formed using his Dragon Power, and it was shrouded with Purple Flame Spirit Qi.

Dong!

The Ancient Corpse’s steel knife slashed on the Purple Flame Dragon Gate, but it was completely unable to break open the gate, and the force from the impact sent the Ancient Corpse flying backward. It looked at the gate with a serious face as it remained in the air.

“What a surprise!”

As it floated in the air, the Ancient Corpse said, “You’ve actually fused the Purple Flame Spirit Qi with your Yuanli, but you’re still just an Energy Shaping First Realm, and not to mention that you’re unable to unleash your Yuanli through space. If I stay up in the air, you wouldn’t be able to beat me in any circumstances.”

“Hmph!”

A cold voice appeared right next to the Ancient Corpse’s ear: it was Ye Mo who came stepping through the air! Ye Mo then jumped above the Ancient Corpse’s head and thrust his Sky Blood Spear at its glabella.

The Ancient Corpse had clearly not expected for Ye Mo to suddenly appear above its head, it quickly positioned its steel knife right at its forehead!

Clang!

Not only did Ye Mo’s surprise attack fail, but he was also sent flying by the Ancient Corpse and crashed into the wall of the ancient tomb!

The Ancient Corpse was enraged by Ye Mo’s attack. For being at the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, it had actually suffered an attack from the human before its eyes.

With a swing of its knife, black rays swept through the air.

“Hell’s Net!”

The black rays then manifested into images of knives and formed a giant black net as they crisscrossed, raining down from above Ye Mo’s head.

However, even in the face of an attack from an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, Ye Mo felt no fear. Black Dragon Power surged out from all over his body, and with a thrust, his Sky Blood Spear clashed with the giant net.

Boom!

The entire ancient tomb started to shake violently, and all the bronze coffins in the ancient tomb began to shake too.

“Sh*t!” The expression on the Ancient Corpse’s face changed, then it fled towards a passageway and disappeared almost instantly.

Ye Mo was left dumbfounded as he watched the Ancient Corpse flee.

Boom boom boom!

Ye Mo’s facial expression also changed when numerous evil aura emerged from the coffins, and the lids were all sent flying away as various strong auras emanated from the coffins. Each of them belonged to a powerful Ancient Corpse, and they were all of the True Energy Realm.

Ye Mo instantly understood why the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm Ancient Corpse decided to flee, and Ye Mo, himself, started to retreat back from where he came from. The auras of all the Ancient Corpses were abnormally powerful, even the weakest one of them had the power of a True Energy Realm.

“You who disturbed our sleep! Die!” One of the True Energy Realm Ancient Corpse shouted and gave chase in the direction that Ye Mo had fled to while the other Ancient Corpses also followed along.

In a split moment, Ye Mo had already escaped to where the Magical Formation was set up, and he waited for the Ancient Corpses to arrive.

“Even an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior is coming into the Skyburn Tomb now. Is that monkey’s thing so easy to obtain?” One of the Ancient Corpse rushed over and looked at Ye Mo, an evil glow flashed within its eyes.

Subsequently, more and more Ancient Corpses also rushed over and landed right before Ye Mo.

All the Ancient Corpses were brought back to life from grievance, so a sense of eeriness emanated from their bodies.

“Dead people should just stay in their coffins. All of you are already very lucky to even have a coffin to sleep in after your deaths.” Ye Mo continued to retreat backward as he watched the approaching group of Ancient Corpse with a serious look on his face.

“You’re courting death!”

All the Ancient Corpses were enraged. Terrifying screams sounded out, and they erupted their auras to their strongest extent, causing the cave to shake and turned all the skeletons by their feet into powder!

“Now’s my chance!”

Ye Mo waved his hand, and the three Exorcism Seal that had been arranged earlier lighted up. Then, the three Seals enveloped all the True Energy Realm Ancient Corpses, and a burst of holy white light illuminated the area.

The group of Ancient Corpses clearly didn’t see this coming, and although the light caused no harm to them, they were extremely irritated with it. Being exposed to the holy light, they felt the remnants of grievance in their bodies being pulled out.

One by one, all the grievances were pulled out from all the Ancient Corpse’s mouth.

“The grievances have been pulled out!”

Ye Mo immediately unleashed the Will of the Sky Blood Spear and tried to use the Sky Blood Spear to absorb all the grievances.

“Trying to absorb our grievances! We won’t let that happen so easily!”

Although the grievances had already left their body, the Ancient Corpses didn’t die immediately. They erupted their True Energy Realm power, and the force ravaged about like strong winds and sent Ye Mo flying. His Sky Blood Spear was also knocked out of his hands.

“It failed!”
