War God Long Ao

The aura Ye Hao unleashed was simply too powerful. Long Ao had no strength to resist it whatsoever.

His face grew pale and his body began to sway. Just then, Long Ao felt a formidable power surge from his Dantian, instantly coursing through his limbs and veins.

'Master, I have completed the Refinement of the soul from the One-Line Heaven expert you slew.'

Long Ao was overjoyed. After his battle with the Black Wind Daoist, he hadn't planned on refining another Soul Slave. He already had a One-Line Heaven Soul Slave, so creating a new one from a Hundred Scattered Heaven expert seemed somewhat redundant.

The Desolate Sacred Body required far more energy to raise its Cultivation level than the amount needed by an ordinary Martial Artist.

Long Ao knew perfectly well that as long as he could break through the Peak of Hundred Scattered Heaven, advancing to the One-Line Heaven Realm wouldn't require a huge amount of external power. He would simply need to force all the Spiritual Power within his body into his Dantian.

For this very reason, Long Ao had chosen to give up on refining another Soul Slave and instead had Long Fu transform the soul into power for him to break through to the One-Line Heaven Realm.

A vast power flooded his body. He had to admit, the soul of a One-Line Heaven Martial Artist was truly potent. Especially after being processed by the Blood Pool, the resulting power was a full third stronger.

In the blink of an eye, Long Ao used the immense Spiritual Power to push his Cultivation to the Peak of Hundred Scattered Heaven. However, the terrifying aura continued to crush him, threatening to force him to his knees at any moment.

Long Ao knew his opponent was deliberately holding back from killing him, simply because he wanted to make him kneel and beg for mercy.

It was hard to say if Long Ao's luck was good or bad. Under normal circumstances, even with the support of such vast power, forcing it all into his Dantian would not have been an easy task.

But now?

With such immense power residing within him and under the crushing pressure of the terrifying aura, Long Ao refused to let this golden opportunity slip by. He didn't block the powerful aura; instead, he guided it into his body, using it to slowly push all the Spiritual Power throughout his system toward his Dantian.

"What is he doing?"

"Is he using Elder Ye's aura to achieve another breakthrough?"

Watching the young man's actions, the two One-Line Heaven Martial Artists were completely shocked. As for Ye Hao, perhaps blinded by hatred, he ignored everything else and continued to unleash his powerful aura, viciously crushing his opponent.

Just as Long Ao suspected, Ye Hao had only one goal: to make him kneel and beg for mercy.

Ye Hao didn't just want to kill his opponent; he wanted to humiliate him thoroughly. Only then could he avenge his grandson.

Enduring the waves of pain wracking his body, Long Ao refused to give up. His eyes revealed an unparalleled resolve. It was this firm belief that allowed him to ultimately persevere and get back on his feet.

"Momentum!" Long Ao roared. Immediately, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushed toward him, and a fierce, terrifying presence began to coalesce. It was the Momentum that Ye Hao himself possessed.

Through constant persistence and an indomitable will, Long Ao had finally condensed his very own Momentum.

Moreover, Long Ao used this Momentum to, with lightning speed, force all the Spiritual Power in his body into his Dantian. His Cultivation had officially advanced to the One-Line Heaven Realm.

Long Ao's sudden advancement to the One-Line Heaven Realm and his success in condensing Momentum left the three of them completely stunned. Ye Hao, in particular, was enraged beyond measure. He had never, ever imagined that under his absolute Momentum, his opponent wouldn't kneel and beg for mercy, but would instead use his own Momentum to successfully break through to the One-Line Heaven Realm and even condense a Momentum of his own.

'A One-Line Heaven Martial Artist successfully condensed Momentum?'

Ye Hao hesitated no longer. Forgetting his desire to see his opponent kneel and beg, he shot forward and brought his palm down in a vicious chop. The power of an Evolution expert was simply beyond what a One-Line Heaven Martial Artist could compare to.

Snapping his eyes open, his Cultivation having successfully broken through to the One-Line Heaven Realm, Long Ao's aura instantly intensified several-fold. The Blood-Drinking Mad Saber in his hand also slashed out fiercely, its terrifying, blood-red Sword Aura carrying an icy chill.

Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques, Second Form: Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer.

Ye Hao was completely confident that his Palm Force could shatter his opponent's blood-red Sword Aura. But when his palm collided with the Sword Aura, not only did it not shatter, but he suffered a backlash from it. The freezing Sword Aura instantly invaded his body, shooting straight for his heart.

The most terrifying thing about Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer was its all-pervading nature. Once the icy Sword Aura invaded the body, it would corrode the internal organs, even devouring the soul, and would go on to freeze the entire body.

If an ordinary Innate Martial Artist were to be invaded by the icy Sword Aura, they would have a very difficult time resisting the Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer.

But Ye Hao was no One-Line Heaven Martial Artist; he was an Evolution expert, a realm far above. After a moment of shock, Ye Hao used his immense Spiritual Power to expel all the icy energy from his body.

Looking ahead, the young man was long gone. Ye Hao's expression was as dark as it could be. "Where is he?" he demanded.

"Elder Ye, Long Ao has already left."

"Left? Why didn't you stop him?" Hearing this, Ye Hao was so furious he almost fainted. He had brought two One-Line Heaven Martial Artists this time to ensure it was a foolproof plan, but in the end, the boy had still gotten away.

"Our apologies, Elder Ye."

The two One-Line Heaven Martial Artists were terrified. 'He could actually fight back against Elder Ye,' they thought. 'What chance would the two of us have against him?'

"Long Ao, I'll hunt you to The Ends of the Earth if I have to! I will kill you!"

"You two will watch the Long Family day and night. Remember, the moment you see Long Ao, notify me immediately."

"Elder Ye, are you returning to the Sect, then?" The two men were miserable. For some reason, they felt that even if they teamed up, they wouldn't be a match for him. They knew it sounded absurd, but the feeling was undeniably real.

How could Ye Hao not know what the two were thinking? He said, "Rest assured, I won't be returning to the Sect. I will remain in Red Fire Town. Just notify me the moment you get word."

Even though they were completely against it, the two could only nod in resignation.

The news that Ye Hao, an Elder of the Liuyun Sect and Ye Gucheng's grandfather, had come to kill him spread through all of Red Fire Town in an instant. It even reached as far as Thundercloud City. Anyone who heard the news was shocked. While Long Ao's rise was surprising, the fame of Elder Ye Hao of the Liuyun Sect far surpassed his.

Almost everyone believed that Long Ao's chances of survival were next to zero. But just when they all thought he was as good as dead, the news that Ye Hao had not killed Long Ao followed.

What was going on?

Long Ao had actually escaped alive from the clutches of a Liuyun Sect Elder? When the Long Family received the news, they were overcome with ecstatic surprise. As long as Long Ao wasn't dead, there was still hope for everything.
