The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 692: Ancient Deity Rui Blood

“The Primordial Shenrui Blood What’s that?” Ye Mo was surprised. “I’ve only heard of the Primordial Shenrui before – it’s the ancient beast that destroyed our land, the one who started this land’s demise. Tens of thousands of years ago, it was killed by three deity-level fighters.”

“Ye Mo, the Primordial Shenrui Blood is the blood of the Primordial Shenrui Rui. It was cultivated by strong fighters and turned into drops of blood essence,” Hong Ling started to explain. “The Zone of Chaos is unlike other places because the battle between the Primordial Shenrui and the three deity-level fighters destroyed it completely. It’s all an ancient battleground. It only became like this after tens of thousands of years. Despite the huge disaster that this area experienced, due to the existence of the Primordial Shenrui Blood, it’s created generation after generation of fighters with strength far beyond other regions.”

“Brother Ye Mo, I’ve heard of this Primordial Shenrui Blood too,” Ling’er added. “Every drop of blood is imbued with a hint of the Primordial Shenrui’s powers. Cultivation of each drop will give your body a huge improvement, and may even change the structure of your body. If you can get your hands on the Primordial Shenrui Blood, your strength level will increase rapidly.”

“That’s right. Legend has it that back when the three deity-level fighters joined forces to heavily wound the Primordial Shenrui, its blood shot out like a geyser,” Hong Ling said. “In the end, it formed a blood lake that was cultivated by elite fighters – every drop of it. It formed 1,000 drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood, which became the reason for the rise and fall of plenty of fighters. As for how many drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood are left, I don’t know.”

The source of the Primordial Shenrui Blood wasn’t endless. Those who were unable to withstand their power would explode. Those who were able to, however, their training would naturally rise to the top.

Thus, finding the blood had become Ye Mo’s prime objective in the Zone of Chaos.

While 1,000 drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood seemed like a lot, after tens of thousands of years, Ye Mo couldn’t say for sure how many of them were still left.

“Ye Mo, you have to find out more information about the blood,” Hong Ling said. “To do that, you need to find a city. Don’t prolong your stay in the wilderness. On the surface, your strength level is only in the Sixth Tier of the Transcendence Realm – you’ll end up attracting unwanted attention. The people here have no respect for any rules whatsoever, and that goes double for outsiders.”

“I’ll be safe when I locate a city?” Ye Mo asked.

“Correct. The Zone of Chaos is made up of a thousand big cities and a Chaos Palace,” Hong Ling explained. “Millenia ago, the 1,000 drops of Ancient Deity Rui Blood were distributed to the city masters of those 1,000 cities. By entering a city, you’ll be able to guarantee your safety. Except for some large authorities in certain cities, killing isn’t permitted.”

The Sky Blood Lady had been in the Zone of Chaos before, so Hong Ling knew a few things about the place. “We can find a nearby city and scout for some information first. It’ll be best if we can take a city.”

“What? Take a city?” Ye Mo was shocked. Taking a city – where did that come from?

“That’s right. The Zone of Chaos has a thousand cities,” Hong Ling said. “A City Master Battle is held almost once every month. If you defeat the city master of the city, you’ll be able to take over as the new city master.”

“Then, what’s the benefit of being a city master?” Ye Mo asked.

“As a city master, you’ll be able to participate in the Thousand Cities Battle held by the Chaos Palace and head toward the Ancient Battleground to kill Ancient Mystic Beasts and win rare Demon Crystal Gems,” Hong Ling said. “Legend has it that the Ancient Mystic Beasts have become extremely vicious after absorbing the Ancient Deity Rui Blood. The Thousand Cities Battle is part of the rule of the Zone of Chaos, and is held by the Chaos Palace every year. Each year, the Chaos Palace offers extremely attractive rewards for the competition. The City Master Battle has almost become a distinct part of the Zone of Chaos.”

In any normal kingdom, the city master was assigned by the Emperor. But in the Zone of Chaos, living up to its name, it was decided by who could hit harder.

“Interesting.” Ye Mo flapped his Caged Dragon Wings, flying forward so fast that he shrunk into a dot.

At the moment, Ye Mo stood atop a mountain peak. Channeling his Energy Center, he could feel a huge amount of natural aura entering his body.

The natural aura of the Zone of Chaos was far beyond that of the Zone of Desolation.

That was also the reason the heart of the land was broken up. In ancient times, the five main areas’ environments were almost the same. The strength of the plane and the amount of natural aura was about even.

But the battle between the three deity-level fighters and the Ancient Deity Rui shattered the land, causing the five main zones to become uneven. As time went by, the strength levels had worlds of difference.

Ye Mo looked around – there were trained fighters everywhere, and the place was packed and bustling.

“Brother Ye Mo, there’s a city a few hundred meters ahead. It looks grand – let’s go take a look.” Ling’er immediately found a gigantic city with her senses. The city ahead was comparable to the Seal City.

But Ye Mo didn’t move ahead immediately. He was still in his Door of Desolation attire. First, he found someone, knocked him out cold, and changed into the attire of the city.

He even changed his hairstyle, looking every inch a part of the Zone of Chaos.

But, even if fighters from the Zone of Desolation and the Zone of Chaos of same training levels were to stand side by side, wearing the same attire, there was still an apparent difference. With the natural powers and natural auras so much stronger and thicker in the Zone of Chaos, at the same level, the fighters from the Zone of Chaos had steadier levels of auras.

Furthermore, a fighter’s background could also be identified from their training and strength level.

But, Ye Mo wasn’t worried. In terms of aura level, at the same level, who was his superior?

At the Sixth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, he was able to match up to a fighter in the intermediate stage of the Profound World Realm. That was unprecedented.

After a moment, Ye Mo reached the outskirts of the city. Mixing in with the people, he walked inside.

But, unlike what Hong Ling said, not all of the fighters were elites. In this city, most of the fighters were in the True Energy Realm, with an occasional Transcendence Realm fighter here and there.

This wasn’t the Transcendence Realm fighter-filled city that Ye Mo had imagined.

Perhaps, Ye Mo had just entered a normal city.

The Transcendence Realm fighters walked around the city with arrogant expressions on their faces, as if they were superior to the rest.

“Let’s find a trade event first and see if there are any rare resources.”

Ye Mo looked above the city entrance. The words “Frost Ice City” were carved on it. Those three words had the Will of the Ice Frost. Upon closer inspection, it looked as if the three giant words were carved by ice frost.

With no guards at the city entrance, Ye Mo followed the crowd into the Burning Flame City.

The moment Ye Mo entered the Frost Ice City, he pulled aside a True Energy Realm fighter and asked, “Friend, is there any place to purchase training resources in the Frost Ice City?”

The middle-aged man was dressed in a normal manner – perhaps the least eye-catching person in the whole city. A fighter like this would be a big-shot in any city in the Tianwu Kingdom. But here, he was a nobody.

“Senior, are you calling me?” Sensing the huge aura Ye Mo gave off, the middle-aged man trembled for a moment before stuttering, “We don’t have many places that sell training resources. The trade events here only deal in resource exchange. But they’re all extremely under-the-table.”

After he spoke, the man’s voice became softer by a notch.
