Spiritual Power surged wildly around Ye Ming, his aura incomparably powerful. As he devoured endless Spiritual Power, his cultivation reached a critical threshold.
Crack!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ming advanced to the sixth layer of the Divine Bridge Realm.
Boom!
An incomparably powerful surge of Spiritual Power rose from within Ye Ming. His physique was simply too formidable; although he was only in the Divine Bridge Realm, his Spiritual Power was even stronger than that of Dao Palace Realm prodigies.
Moreover, the growing Spiritual Power showed no signs of stopping. Lin Jian and Long Hao had cultivated for many years—their Spiritual Power was immensely powerful—and it all benefited Ye Ming now.
Ye Ming's cultivation was still shooting upward!
"I am the Holy Son of the Ten Directions Sacred Hall! If you kill me, you will not get away with it!"
A voice rang out. It was Long Hao, already at death's door and stripped of all strength. He glared at Ye Ming with boundless hatred, like a vicious ghost.
"Hehe! What does the Ten Directions Sacred Hall amount to in the eyes of This Imperial Son?"
"If This Imperial Son wished it, I could wipe out your Ten Directions Sacred Hall at any time!"
Ye Ming sneered, mocking Long Hao's ignorance.
"The two of you should obediently go die!"
Boom!
As the final wisp of Origin Power from Long Hao's Dragon God Physique and Lin Jian's Sword Body was devoured by Ye Ming, the two prodigies completely fell. Ye Ming's cultivation, meanwhile, reached the seventh layer of the Divine Bridge Realm.
"Haha, what excellent power!"
Ye Ming laughed loudly. Two mysterious runes suddenly appeared upon his body, which shone with brilliant Demonic Light. One was a Dragon Shadow, originating from Long Hao's Dragon God Physique.
The other was a Sword-Shaped Rune, originating from Lin Jian.
Ye Ming could now sense that not only had his Primordial Demonic Body grown even stronger, but he had also gained two manifestations belonging to the Sword Body and Dragon God Physique. He could wield every ability of those two physiques.
"No wonder that cheap father of mine said the Primordial Demonic Body is the strongest physique in the world!"
"If I could devour every physique in this world, then..."
Just imagine it: if he fought other prodigies in the future and summoned hundreds or even thousands of manifestations at once, he would not even need to act personally. The manifestations alone could sweep aside every enemy in the world.
The more Ye Ming thought about it, the more excited his expression became.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
At this moment, high in the heavens, the three elders of the Primordial Forbidden Zone were still locked in a great battle against the opposing three. Violent auras blanketed heaven and earth, shaking the cosmos.
"Holy Son..."
A voice filled with incomparable fury rang out. It belonged to the elders of the Ten Directions Sacred Hall and Azure Sky Dao Sect. They had watched Long Hao and Lin Jian die with their own eyes, their faces ashen as death.
With the Golden Age about to begin, the most monstrous prodigies of their sects had died. No one could bear such a thing.
"You destroyed the hope of our Sacred Hall. This old man has no face left to face the people of the sect!"
"Kill! Even if this old man must stake this wretched life, I will slaughter that little beast!"
"Under no circumstances can we let him go!"
Overbearing auras shattered the sky as they charged toward Ye Ming.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Those were two Saint Realm experts from the Ten Directions Sacred Hall and Azure Sky Dao Sect, sworn to kill Ye Ming.
"Fuck me, I only killed two pieces of trash. Is this really necessary???"
Ye Ming's speechless voice rang out as he walked through the air, evading them.
"Release our Saintess!"
Several elders from the Flying Immortal Sacred Land saw Liu Mingyue being carried away on Ye Ming's shoulder and chased after him, terrified that their Saintess might come to harm.
At this moment, the three opposing sacred lands had far too many elders, while the Forbidden Zone Experts who had accompanied Ye Ming numbered only three. The key was that even Ye Ming had not expected to have so many enemies.
Boom!
"Not good, the Imperial Son is in danger!"
High in the sky, Blood Soul and the other two elders' expressions changed drastically. They had enemies of their own, and would need more time to end their battles quickly. They simply could not free their hands to resolve Ye Ming's crisis.
Even they likely had not expected Ye Ming to attract so much hatred. Otherwise, they would have brought more Forbidden Zone Experts. Yet it was useless to think of that now. The strength of Saint Realm experts was simply not something Ye Ming could contend against at present.
"Hehe, little beast, let's see who can save you this time!"
A cold voice sounded. It belonged to an expert from the Flying Immortal Sacred Land, dressed in a gray robe, his face icy and aloof as he looked down upon Ye Ming with boundless killing intent.
This man was named Ling Jing. His aura was incomparably powerful as he attacked Ye Ming. With one palm strike, Spiritual Light rippled across the heavens for thousands of miles. The pressure of the Saint Realm shattered the sky; this attack was terrifyingly powerful.
"Hmph, you killed the Holy Son of my clan. Your life shall repay the debt," another Saint Realm expert sneered, killing intent spreading in all directions.
Boom!
The void around Ye Ming was imprisoned, as though it had become a cage. Facing Saint Realm experts, no matter how peerlessly talented Ye Ming was, he could not withstand a single blow. This was a certain-death predicament.
Not to mention that there were several Saint Realm experts here. The Flying Immortal Sacred Land, Ten Directions Sacred Hall, and Celestial Clear Dao Sect all had them...
At this moment, near Imperial Mountain, the gathered sect cultivators all belonged to the righteous path. Naturally, they hoped that Ye Ming, the Imperial Son of the Primordial Forbidden Zone, would meet with Body Dies, Dao Perishes.
Especially some of the prodigies among them. After witnessing the talent Ye Ming had revealed, they were consumed by incomparable jealousy.
Why was a piece of trash they had once looked down upon more talented than them? To some prodigies, this was impossible to accept. They were utterly unconvinced and wished Ye Ming would immediately meet with Body Dies, Dao Perishes.
"Hmph! Everyone among us righteous cultivators has the right to punish those from the Primordial Forbidden Zone!"
"That's right. If not for his powerful resources, what would this Imperial Son amount to before us?"
"He was fortunate enough to possess this strength, yet instead of hiding his light and biding his time, he came here to seek death. He should know that before true experts, what does his little bit of strength amount to?"
At this moment, mocking voices rang out one after another. They belonged to those jealous prodigies, their words incomparably vicious as they cursed him...
At this moment, facing several Saint Realm experts, Ye Ming remained unafraid, his expression calm and composed.
"Hmph! You are nothing more than an old dog. You think you are worthy of killing me?"
Ye Ming's voice was cold as he mocked them.
"This is not your Primordial Forbidden Zone. It is time to send you on your way!"
Ling Jing's eyes flashed with anger. He pointed a finger, and Spiritual Light exploded through the void as he sought to kill Ye Ming.
"First Elder, please reveal yourself."
At that moment, Ye Ming called out.
The instant his words fell.
Crack!
With a tremendous boom, the heavens were torn apart. A powerful aura surged forth, and a blurry figure emerged above the void. He carried an incomparably supreme aura, vast beyond measure, splitting heaven and earth, suppressing the firmament, stirring ten-thousand-foot waves and endless winds and clouds.
This aura was far too powerful, utterly beyond comparison to any of the Saint Realm experts present. At this moment, every watching cultivator was shocked.
"A Great Saint Realm expert!!!"
"Hiss, how could such an expert descend... the Primordial Forbidden Zone!!!"
"This does not feel like an ordinary Great Saint Realm expert either... He seems only one step away from entering the Quasi-Emperor realm!"
At this moment, countless cultivators were completely stunned as they gazed toward the heavens.
A Great Saint Realm expert stood at the ninth layer of the Saint Realm. With only half a step remaining, he could enter the Quasi-Emperor realm. His pressure blanketed heaven and earth, shaking the cosmos.
He was precisely the First Elder of the Primordial Forbidden Zone, Mo Ao.
"This old man pays respects to the Imperial Son!"
Before the eyes of countless cultivators, the Great Saint Realm expert they regarded as supremely exalted actually bowed to Ye Ming with utmost respect...
