“Transcendence Realm is so powerful. It’s like a god has descended to earth. I’m completely helpless. My entire body feels like it’s collapsing,” Ye Mo struggled on bitterly, but even with his body strengthened by the third rank Dragon Blood, he felt like collapsing.

“Cao Zhengchun, the league war is jointly hosted by the three leagues with rules set by the emperor,” Ye Mo coughed out. “Are you trying to disobey the emperor?”

“The emperor? He’s gone into secluded cultivation and left all power to me. I am currently the master of the Tianwu Kingdom, and I have full control over anyone’s life,” replied Cao Zhengchun. His gaze was sharp. With a single glance, all the defenses in Ye Mo’s body crumbled apart.

Only now did Ye Mo knew how powerful the Transcendence Realm was. Just by standing there, Cao Zhengchun could dominate everything and ignore all the rules.

“Ye Mo, you have two options,” Cao Zhengchun declared his judgement. “First, I can kill you, and then I’ll destroy your entire clan and Limestone City. Second, you can cripple your Energy Center yourself and become my son’s slave. If you think of disobeying me, you should know the consequences. In Tianwu Kingdom, nobody can disobey me.” Cao Zhengchun was using the superiority he had from being a Transcendence Realm powerhouse to kill the disobedient Ye Mo for presuming to defeat his son.

The second reason was to set an example for others; the people of the three leagues and the people of the Martial Faction. Now that he’d entered the Transcendence Realm, offending him would only result in death.

“Shameless. If you are truly so great, focus on me alone,” Ye Mo shouted.

“I told you. If you want to protect Limestone City, cripple your own Energy Center. That shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?” said Cao Zhengchun with a toying smile.

“Cao Zhengchun, you go too far,” Xuan Ji shouted and flew out of her chair.

“Xuan Ji?” Cao Zhengchun smiled, “Are you trying to protect him? To be honest, I used to fear you. Even my sister, the empress, tried to recruit you. But now I’m in the Transcendence Realm. I no longer need any Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses to help me deal with the Martial Faction. If you stand against me, I’ll show no mercy. I’ll kill you where you stand to show the true power of a Transcendence Realm powerhouse.” Cao Zhengchun casually threatened to kill one of the 10 powerhouses of the kingdom. He was truly out of control.

“Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zheng will be the champion of this competition, and Ye Mo will give up on the prizes and the position of the champion. Why must you kill him?”Feng Qingyang as he flew out his seat as well. Yet another Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouse speaking out for Ye Mo.

“Feng Qingyang, Ye Mo is your disciple, correct?” Cao Zhengchun said.

“That’s why you decided to stand up? You have been making things difficult for the imperial guards just to protect Ye Mo. Since he’s publicly challenged my honor, how can I not kill him? Do you think the two of you can stop me?”

“Cao Zhengchun, don’t push things too far.” Yao Qingyun also flew out of his seat. “This is still the Qingyun League. We cannot allow you to publicly kill our league member like this.”

With the three Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses from the Qingyun League, the pressure Ye Mo was under was reduced considerably. He started to secretly use the Rising Dragon Pillar to absorb the Transcendence Qi coming from Cao Zhengchun bit by bit.

“Haha, so the three Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses of the Qingyun League have appeared? Unfortunately for you, the Qingyun League is nothing against me anymore.”

Cao Zhengchun stood there like a fiery war god. The natural energy of the world around him helped maintain his Transcendence Golden Body without interruption. This was the advantage of those in the Transcendence Realm. After activating their Transcendence Golden Body, the natural energy of the world would automatically maintain the Transcendence Golden Body for them, and they didn’t need to exhaust their own Transcendence Qi.

“Do you think the three of you can save Ye Mo’s life just by standing up? I don’t mind killing you as well,” said Cao Zhengchun in a tyrannical rage. He couldn’t care less about the three Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses facing him.

“Cao Zhengchun, just let it go. Ye Mo can abandon the position as the champion, but spare his life.” An aged voice rang out. An old man in a white robe appeared from the seats of the Wushuang League. This was the grand elder of the Wushuang League, the strongest in his league. He was also a Spirit Devour Realm powerhouse.

“If even Elder Tai Xu is stepping out, how can I stay seated?” Yet another old man flew out of his seat. He was of similar age with Elder Tai Xu, also a Spirit Devour Realm powerhouse.

“Elder Tai Xu of Wushuang League and Elder Zi Yang of Tiandi League. Two more Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses. Haha, all five Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses of the three leagues have stepped out.”

Even against five Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses, Cao Zhengchun was as uncaring as ever.

Cao Zhengchun was publicly disregarding the rules of the Qingyun League. And if even the Qingyun League, the strongest of the three leagues, was being mistreated, what could the other two leagues expect in the future. The two elders had no choice but to step out. Better to fight together now than alone later.

The 10 powerhouses of the kingdom were all in the Spirit Devour Realm. Aside from Cao Zhengchun, who had recently advanced to the next realm, the others were the deputy commander of the imperial guards, Tang Hao, Chen Clan’s Chen Yihan, City of Daughters’ Castellan Cai Ling, Xuan Ji Sub-League’s Xuan Ji, Qingyun League leader Yao Qingyun, Qingyun League’s Elder Feng, Wushuang League’s Elder Tai Xu, Tiandi League’s Elder Zi Yang, and Lin Clan’s Lin Tianya.

“It’s been a very long time since the top 10 powerhouses have gathered. So, does anyone else want to speak out for Ye Mo as well? You can all come out now,” Cao Zhengchun howled. He ignored everyone, fully demonstrating the prowess, and the arrogance, of a Transcendence Realm powerhouse.

“Lord Cao, can you do me a favor? Ye Mo is a friend of mind. Can you spare him, for my sake?” Cai Ling flew and she spoke to Cao Zhengchun with a smile on her pretty face.

“Haha, that Ye Mo is quite surprising,” he said. “He’s got six Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses speaking for him. Is there a seventh, or even an eighth as well?”

“Lord father, Ye Mo is my sworn brother. I hope you can save him!” Lin Kunyuan said anxiously.

“This kid’s talent is too terrifying,” Lin Tianya said. “If he can survive this, his future will be limitless. Since you’re his sworn brother, I’ll join in on the fun as well.”

Lin Tianya stepped on his flying sword and flew out as well. “Lord Cao, Ye Mo is a good friend of my child. I hope you can spare him.”

Another Spirit Devour Realm powerhouse!

Everyone was shocked. Lin Tianya was known as the Sword God, and he was one of the top three of the top 10 powerhouses of the kingdom. Now, there were seven Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses speaking out for Ye Mo.

What was Ye Mo’s charm, that so many Spirit Devour Realm powerhouses were stepping forward bravely to save him?
