The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1496 - 1497: I Am Immortal and Eternal

"Father, is it wrong for me to protect my biological mother?"

Ao Zi said lightly, "You are the Soul Master, above thousands. Anyone related to you cannot attain any happiness, right? What mistake has my mother made? What mistake have I made?"

"You brought me here just to say this in front of me?"

Ao Cangwu sneered, these words had no effect on him whatsoever. He would never admit his mistakes, especially not in front of this woman.

"You killed my mother back then, and I held a great deal of resentment towards you. I tried hard to gain your acknowledgment, not for any other reason, but so that one day I would have enough strength for you to take seriously. Only then would I dare to bring my mother out, so she wouldn’t have to live a life of constant darkness."

Ao Zi roared without reservation, "But now? I will never get your acknowledgment. You are arrogant, you look down on everyone, and as your son, I’m insignificant to you. I find no sense of existence in the Wraith Clan. I want to get your attention, I try desperately, but you still ignore me. In your eyes, everyone is just a pawn for your ambitions."

"That’s correct, you are all my pawns. No one can stand on equal footing with me. Your presence is too weak to attract my attention."

Ao Cangwu said coldly.

"Is that so?"

Ao Zi also licked his lips with a hint of viciousness, "What if I told you that your Soul Origin Seed would be destroyed by Ye Mo, entirely because of me. Would that catch your attention?"

"What did you say?"

Ao Cangwu’s face changed as he grabbed Ao Zi, "Say that again?"

"I was the one who revealed the location of your Soul Origin Seed to them!"

Ao Zi looked at Ao Cangwu’s twisted face and laughed, "Father, I’ve never seen you show such an expression, even when your origins were injured back then."

Back then, the injury to his origins didn’t harm Ao Cangwu much, but now he is truly defeated, all because Ao Zi leaked everything.

"I’ll kill you!"

Ao Cangwu said, waving his large hand to strike Ao Zi’s head, but suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed Ao Cangwu’s arm.

"Ao Cangwu, despite all your calculations, you never thought you would ultimately lose to your own son, did you!"

Ye Mo said lightly.

"You all conspired against me?"

Seeing Ye Mo appear, Ao Cangwu seemed to understand everything and sneered coldly.

"Blame yourself; you created today’s scenario all on your own."

Ye Mo said.

"Haha, I’ve roamed the continent for so long; I’ve never lost. In the past, now, and in the future, no one will ever make me admit defeat."

Ao Cangwu suddenly laughed wildly, forming hand seals as a violent force slowly compressed within his body.

He knew he wasn’t a match for Ye Mo now, and with the possibility of the Wraith Demon Emperor arriving, he’d rather drag them and die together than be killed.

"You all will die with me!"

Ye Mo, watching this scene, narrowed his eyes, seemingly not expecting Ao Cangwu to choose self-detonation at this moment.

"Not good, he’s going to self-detonate!"

Ao Zi, seeing this, also changed his expression drastically and immediately grabbed his mother’s hand to flee far away, but it was already too late.

"Ye Mo, there’s no time; Ao Cangwu’s cultivation, once self-detonated, may destroy all in the Dead Soul Clan, including the experts you brought."

Hong Ling also looked grim.

"We must seal him!"

Ye Mo’s face showed determination. With his current strength, he could naturally flee the explosion point, but the entire Dead Soul Royal Family would be annihilated. This Ao Cangwu was indeed ruthless, determined to bring disaster even in death.

"With Ao Cangwu’s formidable force, his explosion isn’t something you can seal."

Hong Ling continued, understanding Ye Mo’s temperament; it was impossible for him to watch so many people die in Ao Cangwu’s self-detonation, but with his strength, it was impossible to seal it.

"Ye Mo, let’s join forces!"

At this moment, the voice of the Wraith Demon Emperor resounded.

Ye Mo’s eyes brightened, nodding as the seven billion Tomb Dragon Power surged from within him, transforming into torrents attacking Ao Cangwu. Simultaneously, a powerful and vast force burst from the body of the Wraith Demon Emperor, and the two forces combined.

Roar!

The Tomb Dragon howled, forming walls around Ao Cangwu, nearly sealing him entirely.

Yet, Ye Mo and the Wraith Demon Emperor dared not be careless, continuously reinforcing the defense.

"Ye Mo, Wang Qianmo, I am eternal!"

Boom!

A devastating vibration echoed, shaking the entire underground violently. The explosion lasted a full ten breaths before slowly calming down.

Then, a soul body lazily floated out, extremely weak, and Ye Mo caught it in his hand and tightly squeezed.

The Soul Master who once dominated Wraith Land was thus fallen.

"Whew!"

Ye Mo also let out a long breath, feeling deeply moved inside.

"Ye Mo, in the past, faced with this situation, I would’ve left regardless of others’ lives, but having accompanied you now, I’d make the same choice as you."

The Wraith Demon Emperor said with a smile.

"Cultivating powerful strength is to protect those who should be protected. Too much killing will eventually be met with retribution."

Ye Mo smiled and slowly left the secret chamber. When he reached the door, he stopped again and turned to the Wraith Demon Emperor, "Only when a person truly wants to protect others are they the strongest."

After killing Ao Cangwu, the grudges between the two clans also came to an end, and the crisis of Lingwu Continent was effectively resolved. For the Wraith Clan was unlikely to act against Lingwu Continent.

Because, with Ye Mo present, even if a battle were to happen between Ye Mo and Ao Cangwu, who would win or lose, no one knew.

The Dead Soul Royal Family was effectively deceased, its Clan Leader succeeded by Ao Zi, who, due to Ao Cangwu’s death, was uninterested in power struggles, finding joy only in his mother’s happiness.

Ye Mo also returned to the Wraith Clan, ready to bid farewell to everyone. Now, with Ao Cangwu dead and Lingwu Continent’s crisis resolved, he was set to visit the Dead Soul Domain to find the Divine Soul Fruit and see if he could locate those deceased relatives.

"It’s about time. I should leave now. I’ll head to the Dead Soul Domain, and after obtaining the Divine Soul Fruit, I’ll return to Lingwu Continent."

Ye Mo said lightly.

At his words, silence fell over the Hall of Wraiths.

"The Dead Soul Domain, huh?"

The Wraith Demon Emperor frowned slightly and said, "That place, without having cultivated to the Great Perfection of Spirit, it’s best not to risk it. The Dead Soul Domain is filled with soul bodies, and while others enter it after losing their bodies, your body is intact, and it wouldn’t be worth it if shattered."

"I’ve already reached the Ninth Layer of the Soul Realm, and I’m a Perfect Soul Body. Additionally, I possess the Undying Life-and-Death Flame, so even in the Dead Soul Realm, facing a Great Perfection of Spirit Soul Body, I fear not!"

Ye Mo said lightly.

"When do you plan to leave?"

The Wraith Demon Emperor asked.

"I’ll leave immediately, and don’t forget our promise!"

Ye Mo said as he slowly walked out of the Hall of Wraiths amidst everyone’s gaze.
