“Young master, the intruder looks like a human. Are the Door of Desolation disciples here in Purgatory for tempering again?”

“Is the beast behind him eating our Crystal Core energy? That’s our holy object of cultivation.”

“We should kill him for daring to intrude into our territory.”

The many Heavenly Demons were infuriated when they saw that a human had snuck into their territory and was even stealing their Crystal Core energy.

When Ye Mo saw the many Heavenly Demons around him, his face turned extremely unsightly. The Heavenly Demon young master before him wasn’t an opponent he could defeat. What’s more, this was the Heavenly Demon tribe, and they definitely had true experts that had yet to show themselves.

The Heavenly Demons around him were closing in and leaving no escape routes for him. Escaping would be difficult, and even now, Xiao Jing was still busy devouring the Crystal Core energy.

“I have no other options. The only thing I can do is protect Xiao Jing.”

It was the first time Ye Mo had seen Xiao Jing display such greed. It was a lust for strength.

“Young master, that beast is absorbing the Crystal Core energy!”

The Heavenly Demon Clan experts could no longer hold themselves back. They split into two groups, one attacking Ye Mo while the other targeted Xiao Jing.

“Zhu Immortal Magical Formation!” Ye Mo roared and the Will of Zhu Immortal started spreading from the Heart Minion’s forehead. This Zhu Immortal Magical Formation was a smaller version than normal. And by using the Slab of Fortune as the core of the formation, both Xiao Jing and the Heavenly Demon totem were enveloped by the magical formation.

The Heavenly Demon experts attacked the barrier created by the seals and did no damage.

Regardless of whether it was a Transcendence Third Realm or Transcendence Fourth Realm, nobody was able to break through the barrier of seals erected by the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation.

When the Heavenly Demon young master saw this, he stabbed at the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation with his pitchfork.

Ye Mo also went through his Dragon Blood Transformation, transforming into an Ancient Azure Dragon formed of blood. Sounds of blood dripping rang out as Ye Mo attacked with the Sky Blood Spear.

Bang!

With the attack, Ye Mo was only able to cause the young master’s attack to deviate from its original target.

“This isn’t good!” Ye Mo was alarmed when he saw that several dozen Heavenly Demon experts were attacking behind him as well. The terrifying attacks arrived in waves, waves seemingly capable of toppling mountains and overturning the seas, heading straight toward Ye Mo’s back.

Ye Mo turned around and punched at the incoming attacks.

The waves of attacks started collapsing. Several dozen Heavenly Demon experts were sent flying before crashing heavily on the ground.

With a single punch, dozens of Transcendence First Realm Heavenly Demon experts were defeated.

“An Ancient Azure Dragon? Kill him! This fellow is from the Ancient Azure Dragon clan!”

The instant the Heavenly Demon young master saw Ye Mo’s change, he recognized Ye Mo’s origin. Instead of bothering with Xiao Jing, he gave Ye Mmo all of his attention.

When the other Heavenly Demon experts heard that the enemy was from the Ancient Azure Dragon clan, their eyes turned bloodshot as if they had gone crazy, and they all attacked with full power.

Although Ye Mo’s Dragon Blood Transformation was able to greatly increase his combat prowess, without the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation, he would only be equal to a Transcendence Third Realm expert. Against so many Heavenly Demon experts and a Transcendence Fourth Realm young master, he was forced into a repeated retreat.

Nevertheless, he was still able to kill over 100 of the Heavenly Demon experts.

But after being on the defense for so long, his strength was near exhaustion, and he was barely able to keep up the Dragon Blood Transformation.

All around him Heavenly Demon experts were roaring and yelling, glaring at him aggressively like a tiger watching its prey.

“Everyone, stop attacking,” the Heavenly Demon young master waved his pitchfork. “He’s like an arrow at the end of its flight. If you keep attacking, you’ll only get yourself killed. Let me end him personally.” All the Heavenly Demon experts moved out of the way. Even so, they were still surrounding Ye Mo tightly, preventing his escape.

“Ancient Azure Dragon clan!”

The Heavenly Demon young master’s face turned sinister as he spoke, “It was the Ancient Azure Dragon clan that locked us here in Purgatory, forcing us into eternal darkness. If it weren’t for the demonic Crystal Cores sustaining us, the Heavenly Demon Clan wouldn’t have been able to survive here in Purgatory.”

After saying that, the Heavenly Demon young master vanished from where he stood. The next instant, he reappeared above Ye Mo, and, with his pitchfork, he stabbed down with all his might.

The attack was incredibly powerful and sharp, gliding through the air toward Ye Mo.

Ye Mo stabbed at the pitchfork with his Sky Blood Spear, and, when the tip of the spear met the tip of the pitchfork, he unleashed his Will of Six Daos Reincarnation to further increase the strength behind his attack.

But against this oppressive attack, Ye Mo had a feeling of intense danger. The Heavenly Demon young master he was facing wasn’t as simple as he looked.

Bang!

After the collision, Ye Mo was sent flying and started coughing blood.

And when Ye Mo crashed on the ground, he saw that on the face, neck, and arms of the Heavenly Demon young master, dragon scales could be seen.

“The Heavenly Demons are Draconic Humans!” Hong Ling cried out in alarm.

“Draconic Humans?” Ye Mo stared at the Heavenly Demon young master.

“They’re the offspring of humans and dragons who have not only the blood of dragons within their veins, they’ve also inherited the flesh of dragons,” Hong Ling said.

“You’re all Draconic Humans?” Ye Mo was astonished.

“If we weren’t Draconic Humans, how would we have suffered the oppression of your clan and got ourselves chased into Purgatory? Even after so long, my royal father has not been able to restore his full strength.” The Heavenly Demon young master spoke coldly. He pointed his pitchfork at Ye Mo’s head and said, “Unexpectedly, we run into an Ancient Azure Dragon clan member here. I’ll make sure you suffer a miserable death.”

The Heavenly Demon had completed his dragon transformation. Apart from an outline of human on his face, his entire body had transformed into a Draconic Human, with golden and shiny scales all over his body.

The Heavenly Demon young master’s transformation was even more complete than Ye Mo’s transformation.

Ye Mo’s transformation was just an act of forming the shape of a dragon using the Dragon Blood. The Heavenly Demon young master’s transformation was an actual dragon that gave him a combat power comparable to a Transcendence Fifth Realm expert.

With a howl, he stabbed forward with his pitchfork yet again. Ye Mo’s face fell when he saw that. He quickly activated his Zhu Immortal Magical Formation once again, protecting his whole body with it.

When the Heavenly Demon young master’s pitchfork stabbed the barrier of seals, ripples were created that spread over the entire formation.

“Men, attack his formation together,” the Heavenly Demon young master said. “I refuse to believe he’ll be able to last any longer.”

As the various Heavenly Demon experts joined together and attacked, cracks appeared on the black barrier of seals. It was on the verge of collapse, and the moment the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation was destroyed, Ye Mo would die.

Finally, when the barrier was near complete destruction, the Crystal Core energy around the Heavenly Demon totem was completely exhausted.

Then, everyone saw Xiao Jing start shining with a dazzling golden radiance. With a bright flash of light, Xiao Jing was covered in an egg-shaped golden crystal.

“Xiao Jing is undergoing an evolution!” Hong Ling cried out in alarm.

Ye Mo had been focusing on battling the whole time and hadn’t been paying any attention to Xiao Jing. But when he looked at Xiao Jing, who had transformed into the egg form once again, he could sense that this evolution wouldn’t be a simple one.

The golden crystal egg hovered in the air and started wriggling while blurry rays of light started shooting out of it.

A massively powerful life form was being born within the egg.
