Without the Sky Blood Spear, Ye Mo was unable to unleash the Will of the Sky Blood Spear, and the power of the Exorcism Seals had also started to weaken. With the Exorcism Formation losing its effect, the black grievances that have been pulled out were gradually being sucked back into the bodies of the Ancient Corpses.

“He he, since you want to kill us, I’ll let you die a horrible death!”

All the Ancient Corpse opened their mouth and waited for the grievances to return back into their bodies.

Suddenly there was a flash of light. It was Ling’er who had rushed out from Ye Mo’s body. She pointed at the group of Ancient Corpses with her finger and said, “There’s nothing to gain from living in this world by clinging onto your grievances, not to mention that all of you are forced to hide in this ancient tomb and live in the dark every day with no progress to your level of training. Is there any meaning in such a life for all of you?

After hearing what Ling’er said, all of the Ancient Corpses were stunned, and the grievances that floated in the air also stopped moving.

“No matter how you all were like when you were alive, continuing to live like this is just an endless cycle where you will never achieve anything. Now that your grievances have been extracted, it’s actually your best chance to return to Hell, and if all of you continue to train hard in Hell, all of you would still be able to make it to the Heavens.”

By depending on the grievances to continue living, they could only live in the ancient tomb and lay in their bronze coffin all day. They were all warriors that had ambitions and dreams, so even after death, they are still eager in pursuing the way of the martial arts.

“Is what you’re saying true?” asked one of the Ancient Corpse.

“I’m a Deity Level Charm Spirit and although I’ve never been to Hell, I do know that you’re able to train even in Hell, and even though the conditions there are harsh, at least you have a chance to achieve Dao there,” said Ling’er.

“To achieve Dao, don’t we have to train in our past lives for the pursuit of a stronger power?”

“That’s right. Now that our grievances have been extracted, we can take this opportunity to be set free.”

Having been enlightened by Ling’er, the balls of black grievances automatically dissipated within the air, and the light in the eyes of the Ancient Corpses gradually dimmed.

“Kid, you’re very courageous to have come into the Skyburn Tomb alone, but let me remind me, that monkey’s Primordial Gold Stick isn’t something you can easily lay your hands on!”

After finishing its sentence, all the Ancient Corpses lost the light in their eyes and fell to the ground one after another. None of them had any signs of life left.

“Brother Ye Mo, quickly absorb all the grievances in the air!”

Having heard her, Ye Mo picked up his Sky Blood Spear and unleashed the Will of the Sky Blood Spear, sucking all the grievances into the Sky Blood Spear’s spearhead.

“That was really dangerous, Ling’er. Does Hell really exist in this world?” asked Ye Mo.

“How would I know, I was just lying to them. As for whether or not Hell exists, only those who are dead would know. Let’s go in and take a look at that Primordial Gold Stick!” said Ling’er as she returned back into Ye Mo’s body.

Ye Mo re-entered the ancient tomb and stared at Saint Skyburn when a sudden sense of veneration gathered in his heart. With the Primordial Gold Stick in his hands, Saint Skyburn looked very majestic.

Ye Mo slowly reached out his hand and took the Primordial Gold Stick from Saint Skyburn’s hands. Holding it in his hands, it felt just right for him.

But just as Ye Mo was about to swing it around a little, the Primordial Gold Stick seemed to have come alive again. It shone with bright gold light and shook violently, then it broke free from Ye Mo’s hand and floated in the air.

“What’s going on?”

Ye Mo was also very surprised to see what’s unfolding before his eyes because even a spirit weapon shouldn’t be able to move by itself.

The Primordial Gold Stick was floating in the air when a ball of flame suddenly appeared. The ball of flame started to take up a shape, only to form a Fire Attribute True Energy Clone, and the identity of the clone was actually Saint Skyburn.

“True Energy Clone? Saint Skyburn isn’t dead yet?” Ye Mo said in surprise.

“No, he’s already dead. It’s just a clone that he had brought together using his lifetime’s worth of Yuanli before his death. He sealed his clone onto his weapon, so when someone touches his weapon, the seal would automatically be released,” said Ling’er.

Saint Skyburn floated in the air. His eyes were like a pair of golden fire balls, and he was standing on a cloud of fire, making him look exceptionally majestic.

“Is this Saint’s weapon something that the likes of you can lay your hands on?”

Saint Skyburn let out a long roar, and he flew towards Ye Mo, exuding a glowing maleficent aura. Then he flew high up into the air and did a spin before he made a barbarous strike in the air with the Primordial Gold Stick in his hands. Thunder-like True Energy exploded in the air, and as it headed towards Ye Mo, all the coffins were pulverized in the process.

Hust a casual strike from Saint Skyburn was already so terrifying. With just a swing of his stick, thunders raged and even the skies changed. The power was comparable to a god’s wrath, sweeping all demons and monsters up in one motion.

Facing the attack, Ye Mo didn’t try to avoid it, but instead, he decided to face it head-on. The Pure Ice Spear Sheath disappeared in an instant and a rather ferocious force erupted from the Sky Blood Spearhead. The force raged about and formed a horrifying Hell Fiend that faintly resisted the attack from Saint Skyburn.

Stabbing out in succession while in mid-air, Ye Mo slowly weakened Saint Skyburn’s attack.

Under such a high-intensity exchange, Ye Mo had inhaled all the Fire Attribute True Energy discharged by the Primordial Gold Stick into his body. Filled with hot burning pain, Ye Mo felt like his body was about to burst into flames.

The Rising Dragon Pillar trembled as it began to absorb all the True Energy, then the Dragon Powers roared as more Black Giant Dragons escaped from the restraints of the Rising Dragon Pillar one after another, with a whopping 100 Dragon Power channeled into Ye Mo’s Five Mortal Gates.

Ye Mo’s body started to snap and crack internally, and the liquidized five-colored Yuanli started to gather in his Energy Core again before it erupted.

Energy Shaping Second Realm!

Right in that split moment, Ye Mo had advanced into the Energy Shaping Second Realm and had also awakened a total of 400 Dragon Powers. With the increase in his powers, Ye Mo charged towards Saint Skyburn and grabbed his wrist.

Saint Skyburn was a little overwhelmed by what was happening. Although his attack was just a casual blow, he had not expected for Ye Mo to use his attack as an opportunity to break through and succeed.

“Die!” Flames were burning within Saint Skyburn’s both eyes. He shot out two beams of flames at Ye Mo’s head.

“Rising Dragon Pillar, absorb it!” Ye Mo roared, completely ignoring the two beams of flame. An immense Engulfing Force fanned out and covered the area around him. Ye Mo became just like a giant black hole, and as long as it’s energy, it wouldn’t be able to escape from his Engulfing Force, not even if it’s a Spirit Absorbing Realm’s True Energy Clone.

“Kid, what’s inside your body? I feel my True Energy leaking out. Could it be a Rising Dragon Pillar that devours everything? How could you have such an artifact in your body? Release me!” Saint Skyburn started to panic, but no matter how he panicked or struggled, he was unable to break free from the Rising Dragon Pillar’s restraints.

“Die!” Ye Mo roared, then the power of the Engulfing Force drastically increased. Saint Skyburn’s huge body actually began to turn transparent, then it began to ripple and distort before being absorbed into Ye Mo’s body and turned into energy to awaken his Dragon Powers.

Roar roar roar!

More and more Dragon Powers started to awaken, breaking free from the Rising Dragon Pillar’s restraints and channeled into Ye Mo’s Five Mortal Gates. The power came like the raging waves, surging out!
