“If it weren’t for the Devil Refining Gourd, I would have already died from his attack.”
Ye Mo retreated his Transcendence Golden Body and began to analyze the fight. “Fen Gongwuliang won’t stop his vile plan. I’d better kill him as soon as possible, once and for all.”
Yao Yue, from the side, watched the fight intently. In the past, she had underestimated Ye Mo. And now, she estimated Ye Mo again.
A promising cultivator like Ye Mo could be unstoppable when he advanced to the Profound World Realm. Yao Yue secretly expected that time would come sooner rather than later. She couldn’t wait to see what a game-changer that would be.
In the merchant house of the Ice City, Ye Mo met with the shopkeeper once again, but the mysterious head wasn’t there.
“According to the head’s orders, your second test is to participate in the Battle of the Thousand Cites on behalf of the Ice City. Now you’ve completed the first step by becoming the deputy castellan of the Ice City, but you still need to take part in the battle. So, I can’t reward you yet,” the shopkeeper said. “Moreover, the head has come up with your third test- become a top ten participant in the Battle of the Thousand Cities.”
“Top ten in the Battle of the Thousand Cities?” Ye Mo frowned.
“Yes, if you rank higher than the top ten in the Battle of Thousand Cities, you will pass the third test. You’ll be given your reward for the second test, the six drops of the Primordial Shenrui Blood, during the Battle of the Thousand Cities,” the shopkeeper finished talking and left slowly.
“Give me the blood during the Battle of the Thousand Cities? Who on earth is this head?” Ye Mo couldn’t help shake his head. The mysterious head always felt familiar, but he just couldn’t place her. Who was she?
Back at the Castellan Estate, Ye Mo didn’t relax a bit from his cultivation, but instead, he summed up the experiences of the recent fights and tried to obtain more insights from them.
“Based on my performance, I could now defeat a High-grade Profound World Realm expert. But against a top-ranking expert like Feng Chu, I still stand no chance at all.”
Ye Mo had witnessed Feng Chu’s power while he was fighting the Demon Lord. Feng Chu’s cultivation must have reached the High-grade Profound Heavens Realm.
“Ye Mo, it’s me, Yao Yue,” Yao Yue’s voice came from outside the.
Ye Mo immediately woke up from meditation and rushed to the door. When he opened the door, Yao Yue’s mind was on something else, so she was a little startled. She thought Ye Mo wouldn’t open the door for her in person, because an expert like him could easily open the door with a wave of his hand.
Just like that, their lips bumped together and they both were so surprised their eyes widened to the size of marbles.
And then, Ye Mo softly held Yao Yue’s waist and started to make out with her. Twenty minutes later, they finally separated.
“How could you take advantage of me like this?” Yao Yue complained, her face flushed.
“You rushed into my room first,” Ye Mo argued.
“I don’t want to argue with you. The Battle of the Thousand Cities will begin tomorrow. I’m here to tell you the rules of the battle,” Yao Yue said. She rarely showed this lovely side of her to anyone in daily life.
“Rules of the Battle of the Thousand Cities? I’m interested.”
Yao Yue took out a map of the Zone of Chaos, pointed to it, and said, “This range is called the Black Jade Mountains. That’s where the ancient battlefield was. The great battle between the three divine warriors and the Primordial Shenrui took place here. It’s said that both the Dragon Martial Realm and the Primordial Shenrui Realm are within the range of the Black Jade Mountains. But both of those realms are empty now. And the battle will take place right there.”
Ye Mo nodded listened intently to Yao Yue’s introduction.
“The Battle of the Thousand Cities has one thousand cities, meaning 2 thousand castellans participating,” Yao Yue explained patiently. “The strongest ones have Highest-grade Profound Heavens Realm cultivation, and even the weak ones have cultivation in the High-grade Profound World Realm. There are no rules for the battle. The only things you need to do are kill beasts and try to get more Demon Crystals. So, guideline No.1: don’t get killed. The fights over the Demon Crystals will happen all the time.”
“Is that all?” Ye Mo asked, full of doubts.
“Of course not. The Battle of the Thousand Cities will last for three months, and each stage will last for one month each. After each stage, the Resource Palace will appear, but only for one day.”
“Resource Palace? Meaning people can trade their resources there?”
“Correct. After each stage, the Resource Palace will appear for one day. It has three parts, consisting of Bronze Palace, Silver Palace, and Gold Palace. Among the three palaces, Bronze Palace has resources of the lowest level while the Gold Palace has the best. Of course, in order to trade for different resources, you need to pay different amounts of Demon Crystals. Remember, after each stage, the participants only have one chance to enter the palaces.”
In other words, after each stage, a participant only had one chance for resource trading.
The castellans could use the resources to further advance their cultivation in order to perform better in the following stage.
Therefore, even the weakest castellan would have a chance to turn the tables.
“In the third stage, the host will announce the top ten participants according to their amount of Demon Crystals. All surviving castellans will receive rewards, too. The Chaos Palace never releases any information about the rewards for the top ten winners, but it’s certain to be good.”
Winning the battle was actually very tricky. In order to trade for rare resources in the first and second stage, one had to spend a large amount of Demon Crystals. But, if they did that, they would have fewer Demon Crystals for the third stage. After all, the final result was dependent on the total amount of Demon Crystals one had.
“You got it?” Yao Yue asked Ye Mo
“Yep, I got it. Quite interesting.”
Ye Mo’s face was full of excitement. The head had promised that, as long as he could enter the top ten, she would give him the rest of the Primordial Shenrui Blood all at once.
But the difficulty of this task was beyond imagination. Ye Mo had to stand out from 2,000 participants and almost 80 percent of them had entered the Profound Heavens Realm level. In order to win the battle, he had to confront a huge challenge.
“Quite interesting?” Yao Yue said in surprise. She didn’t expect Ye Mo to say something like that. “Ye Mo, the Battle of the Thousand Cities is extraordinarily dangerous. Half of the participants end up dead every year. And the survivors are all top-ranking Profound Heavens experts. And now you’re saying it’s ‘quite interesting?’”
“Even though it’s extremely dangerous, so many people still try so hard to join the battle every year, aren’t they? Why is that? In my opinion, the resource trading in the first and second stage alone is tempting enough to attract a lot of cultivators to participate in the battle.” Ye Mo cracked a smile.
“Yes, you’re right. Even though they can’t make it to the top ten, if they can collect enough Demon Crystals and trade them in the Gold Palace, that alone is a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Yao Yue nodded.
Such temptation could drive cultivators crazy. In the Zone of Chaos, cultivators were willing to risk their lives in order to survive and to reach a higher cultivation level.
Death was death. Only the survivor was the king.
“Alright, Yao Yue, rest a little. Let’s hit the road tomorrow.” Ye Mo stood up, patting Yao Yue’s shoulder.
“Ye Mo, I know you’ve made up your mind to go to the Battle of the Thousand Cities, but promise me; you must survive,” Yao Yue said seriously.
Ye Mo’s heart was touched. He could feel the emotion in Yao Yue’s words: certainty, expectation and even helplessness.
Yao Yue had cultivation in the Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm. It would be difficult for her to survive the Battle of the Thousand Cities. It wasn’t hard to imagine how dangerous this battle was to Ye Mo.
Whoever entered the Black Jade Mountains would face the most brutal fight. No one would show any mercy.
Whoever won the battle would have a chance to break through the Profound Heavens Realm and advance to the Cosmos Realm.
“Yao Yue, I will survive. Not only me, but you too. We’ll go back to the Zone of Desolation together and make our kingdom more powerful.” Ye Mo softly held Yao Yue in his arms and promised.
Could they really survive together? It was the Battle of the Thousand Cities ahead of them. Everything was unknown!
