Just as Huang Shihu was about to stamp his feet down, the sound of blood gurgling could be heard. Red blood started spilling out of Ye Mo’s body before wrapping around his entire body.

When Huang Shihu stamped his feet down, he felt like he had stepped on steel. This was not a level of defense an ordinary Energy Shaping Realm warrior could reach. That blood was extremely viscous, and it was emanating an extremely dangerous feeling, a feeling of desolation similar to what a true primordial beast would have.

“Is the blood of a primordial beast coursing within his body? There are indeed some warriors with the blood of primordial beasts coursing within them. When the power of the bloodline is awakened, they are able to obtain great power. Is Ye Mo the possessor of a primordial bloodline?” A trace of fear surfaced on Huang Shihu’s face as he wondered.

Roar!

Ye Mo, who was lying on the ground, suddenly roared. Cracks appeared on the ground while Huang Shihu was directly blasted backward by the momentum of the roar. Then, Ye Mo shot up from the ground. The blood around his body bubbled without stopping as the dragon blood continued flowing out to form a pair of dragon claws, a pair of dragon wings, a dragon head, and dragon body to take the shape of an Ancient Azure Dragon.

Ye Mo’s body hovered in the air. With a flap of his wings, he formed a huge black spear and gazed at Huang Shihu coldly. “How do you wish to die?” he asked.

“Hmph. Although you have increased your strength with the power of your bloodline, you are still an Energy Shaping Realm warrior. An Energy Shaping Realm warrior will never be able to defeat a True Energy Realm warrior.”

Huang Shihu activated his crimson armor and coughed out a mouthful of blood that was immediately absorbed into his Meteor Hammer. After drinking up his blood, the Meteor Hammer started laughing eerily, causing the air around it to start warping.

A huge crimson demon charged out of the hammer. The demon looked incomparably vicious. The crimson demon opened its mouth wide, as if it was going to devour all the blood in existence.

“The Bloodlust Meteor Hammer is a hammer that devours blood. The surface of your skin is now enveloped by the power of blood. Therefore, you are nothing but the food of the Bloodlust Meteor Hammer,” Huang Shihu said with a laugh. The demon then charged at Ye Mo with its mouth opened wide.

Ye Mo did not move but formed a layer of dragon blood around the spear he had formed with Dragon Power. The layer of blood was very similar to reinforced armor.

The Dragon Power within the spear acted as the offense while the dragon blood around the spear acted as the defense. This spear was now comparable to a real Spirit Weapon.

Ye Mo’s body vanished while a 90 feet long crimson ray appeared. Instantly, the demon’s body exploded while Ye Mo’s spear reappeared and stabbed at Huang Shihu’s chest.

“How is this possible?” Huang Shihu lowered his head and stared at the spear that had penetrated his energy armor in disbelief.

“Nothing is impossible. How can a puny bloodlust demon be a match for the Ancient Azure Dragon?” Ye Mo sneered and continued pushing his spear inwards to pierce through Huang Shihu’s heart. Next, Ye Mo pulled the spear out and swept towards Huang Shihu, sending him flying and crashing onto the ground. Huang Shihu had blood all over him while his entire body trembled without stop.

“Ancient Azure Dragon’s bloodline!” Huang Shihu stared at the dragon before him in fear. A bloodline of this level was not supposed to exist in the Tianwu Kingdom. And yet here he was, facing a person with this bloodline.

“No, don’t kill me. I am the general of the Tianwu Kingdom. Although you are part of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, you are still an Energy Shaping Realm warrior. The moment you kill me, the fighters of the Tianwu Kingdom will not spare you. Even A Transcendence Realm martial artist would die if he made an enemy out of the Tianwu Kingdom.”

“You talk too much.” Ye Mo stabbed out with his spear again. Huang Shihu’s head exploded, turning into a mist of blood that sprayed everywhere.

“I finally killed a True Energy Realm fighter! Haha.” Ye Mo felt excited. Although Huang Shihu was already seriously injured when they fought, he was still a True Energy Realm martial artist.

The first True Energy Realm fighter he faced was Cao Zheng. At that time, he had a feeling that he stood no chance at all. A single move of a True Energy Realm powerhouse could easily defeat him.

Now, he had finally killed a True Energy Realm fighter by relying on the numerous trump cards he had. This increased his confidence to face True Energy Realm fighters in the future.

“Don’t get too cocky. You have only managed to kill the seriously injured Huang Shihu after borrowing the power of the Ancient Azure Dragon’s bloodline. Your strength is still too far than the True Energy Realm,” Ling’er reminded when she saw that Ye Mo was getting smug.

“I know. But since I have activated the Ancient Azure Dragon’s bloodline once again, has my defense been strengthened?”

Each awakening of the Ancient Azure Dragon’s bloodline was a rare opportunity that could greatly grow his strength and help strengthen his physical flesh as well with the awakened blood.

Unfortunately, the awakening of the bloodline was something completely random. Ye Mo’s guess was that the bloodline would only awaken during a moment of absolute danger.

He activated the Rising Dragon Pillar and withdrew the blood into his body. Bit by bit, the blood permeated into his flesh and fused into the thin layer of barrier he had on him. Slowly, the essence of the dragon blood was released while the red barrier turned thin again.

Ye Mo could feel that the barrier was much stronger than before. Not only could it defend against physical damage, it was also able to prevent any internal energy from penetrating into his body.

His dragon blood had reached the third rank! Ye Mo had now completely reached the third rank of the dragon blood. Ye Mo was unsure of how powerful his current defense was. But he had a feeling that he could stand there and allow an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior to freely attack him without suffering any harm so long as his weak points such as his eyes or his crotch weren’t attacked.

“Haha, this feels so good. Not only have I killed Huang Shihu, my body has also advanced into rank three dragon blood,” Ye Mo said with a laugh.

“Riches and honor lie in the midst of danger. Although this incident has been very dangerous, you have also profited greatly,” Ling’er nodded and said with a satisfied smile.

“By the way, Ling’er. How many ranks can my dragon blood be strengthened? What will happen after I reached the final rank?” Ye Mo asked.

“It is rumored to have 10 ranks. After reaching rank 10, you will have truly awakened the Ancient Azure Dragon’s bloodline. You might even be able to inherit the abilities of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. But I am not sure on the exact details. The Ancient Azure Dragon Clan is very mysterious,” Ling’er said.

“The time is almost up. I need to return. By the time the soldiers react to what had happened, they will probably notify the imperial guards,” Ye Mo said as he took off Huang Shihu’s Dimensional Bracelet before wrapping the Bloodlust Meteor Hammer with a white cloth. Then, he unfurled his dragon wings and dash away.

Only a corpse and a chaotic battleground was left behind.
