Chapter 554: Six Dao Tournament
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In a flash, Ye Mo appeared before Miao Miao.
“Junior, I’ve got some good news,” Miao Miao said. “Our palace’s master, Dong Fang’ao, will be secretly observing us, taking note of our point tally and rankings. You gotta do your best.”
“Wait and see, Senior Miao Miao, I guarantee that you’ll be surprised,” Ye Mo said. He was filled with confidence about the tournament.
“Junior Ye Mo, you have to be careful,” Miao Miao said as the other seniors started to gather.”Last time, you offended the strongest disciple from the Human Dao Palace, Beast Dao Palace, and the Heavenly Dao Palace. I’m afraid that those three palaces will try something funny.”
“The Six Dao Tournament is about to commence,” Mu Sang said loudly. “Let’s head over!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Everyone flew into the air and darted toward the middle of the Desolate Mountain.
Moments, later, Ye Mo and the rest of the disciples arrived at the Outer Peak of the Desolate Mountain.
“That’s the opening passageway for the elites in the Profound Heavens Realm,” Mu Sang said. “They’re allowed to head toward Purgatory. There are already plenty of Six Dao Palace disciples gathered there.”
Mu Sang led the other nine disciples toward the area. In a moment, they saw the waterfalls spreading out in all directions, as well as all the Six Dao Palace disciples.
The Outer Peak of the Desolate Mountain was huge, seemingly limitless. The passageway within it was pitch black and sporadically flashed with a bright light. Every now and then, a gigantic whirlwind would race out of the cave, like a violent wave in the sky.
The passageway was formed by literally tearing space apart – it wouldn’t be easy to walk through.
“This passageway took a huge amount of effort from one of our Door of Desolation’s Elders to create,” Third Senior said. “It links directly to Purgatory. Every year, countless demons are birthed there. Once the passageway is open, those demons may take the chance to get out. Keep your guards up when you enter the area.”
“There are so many people!” Ye Mo observed the passageway and saw plenty of people in odd shapes and sizes flying through the air.
A few of them had two sharp horns on their forehead, resembling a devil. They belonged to an ancient clan, the legendary Demon Humans. Inside their bodies flowed the blood of devils.
Other than that, Ye Mo saw others who came in odd shapes and sizes.
But normal humans still took up around 90% of the people present.
“Haha, Mu Sang, who would’ve thought that you all would decide to mobilize everyone again.” An extremely powerful aura washed over them. A man wearing a hairband appeared before them, his appearance rather gentle-looking. “Are you thinking about giving the Human Dao Palace free points again? I heard that there’s an extremely talented newcomer in your Asura Dao Palace. Don’t tell me this is him? He’s not even in the Transcendence Realm, how’s he going to participate in the Six Dao Tournament? Without all of you babysitting him, I’m afraid he won’t even make it into Purgatory.”
Ye Mo could feel that the newcomer’s aura was no weaker than Mu Sang’s
“Liu Qingyun, don’t look down on Ye Mo,” Mu Sang smiled gently. “You’ll soon see how strong he is.”
“Strong? All he did was finish first-place in the newcomers’ trials,” Liu Qingyun said. “He’s an insect.”
Liu Qingyun was the Big Senior of the Human Dao Palace. Since Ye Mo had beaten the newcomers from Human Dao Palace, he naturally had to step in and show him up. He glared at Ye Mo viciously and said, “Make sure you don’t end up meeting me or any of our Human Dao Palace disciples. We might not even give you the chance to kill any demons.”
“Eliminate?” Ye Mo couldn’t help but smirk inside his heart. While he wasn’t strong enough to defeat Liu Qingyun, he was certain none of the other Human Dao Palace disciples could eliminate him.
Liu Qingyun was no weaker than Big Senior Mu Sang. While he alone might not be able to battle him one-on-one, basically all of the Human Dao Palace disciples were from the First Heaven Society. Liu Qingyun was most likely one of them too.
“Liu Qingyun, your people can find me in Purgatory for all I care. These points – take it or leave it.” Ye Mo’s voice was extremely cold, with hints of murderous aura. Facing the strongest disciple of the Human Dao Palace, Liu Qingyun, he showed no sign of any fear.
“You’ve got some guts on you!” Liu Qingyun’s eyes widened as an invisible sword aura shot out from his brows, straight toward Ye Mo.
His spirit attack was of the Eighth Tier of the Transcendence Realm. Mu Sang stepped forward and squeezed the sword aura into smithereens right before it reached Ye Mo. He said, “Liu Qingyun, you have some nerve to attack my junior right in front of me. Are you tired of living?”
“Mu Sang, it’s been a while since I last fought your Wooden Battle Bronze Man.” Liu Qingyun laughed as he strutted away. “Don’t disappoint me when we’re in Purgatory later.”
Right at that moment, the other disciples descended from the sky.
The other four Big Seniors from the respective Dao Palaces all carried extremely dominant auras with them.
Yang Kang, the Big Senior of the Hell Dao, was imbued with the Hell Aura all through his body. Carrying a long spear – the legendary Hell Long Spear – he sent shivers down the spines of whoever dared look at him.
The Big Senior of the Beast Dao Palace, Xiang Tong, was a member of the Giant Elephant Clan. With an extremely burly exterior, he was no doubt a man of size. With a casual inhale, like a giant elephant drinking water, he could absorb all the heavenly auras in his surroundings.
Yan Luo, the Big Senior of the Angry Spirit Dao Palace and Mi Yan, the Big Senior of the Heavenly Dao Palace were both extremely powerful as well.
The strongest disciples of the Six Dao Palaces had finally gathered together, all of them in the Seventh or Eighth Tier in terms of their strength.
Ye Mo also saw a familiar face among the crowd of people – Li Tianqiong.
“So he did end up here at the Door of Desolation.” Ye Mo clenched his teeth – he should already be rid of Li Tianqiong. He’d have to fix that shortly.
“Alright, the six of you. If you wanna cause a commotion, do it in Purgatory.”
A loud voice said from afar. The sweeping voice seemingly engulfed the whole sky. A gigantic shadow descended upon the Outer Peak of the Desolate Mountain. Dressed in a black robe with dominating aura circling around him, six other shadows descended in a circle around him. They were the six palace masters of the Six Dao Palaces. Their appearance brought an instant wave of peace and calm.
“The First Elder of the Inner Peak, Elder Tao Tie!”
The man before everyone’s eyes was a fighter in the Profound Heavens Realm, a rarity even in the Inner Peak. His Transcendence Golden Body – the Tao Tie Giant Beast – ranked 39th in the rankings, was capable of devouring the sun and the moon. No disciple had ever witnessed his Transcendence Golden Body being unleashed.
“Respects to the Elder, respects to the palace masters!” Everyone present put their hands together and paid respect to the seven.
“Competition between disciples is a good thing,” Elder. Tao Tie said calmly. “But those who want to fight should do it in Purgatory. I will mark a token on each of you. This token has two functions – to record your point tally for slaying the demons, and for transportation. Once you lose your marker token or your life, a space-time wormhole will transport you back out.”
He continued, “Regarding the rules of the competition, there’s nothing much else to say. I’m sure that the newcomers have been informed. Last reminder: no one is allowed to use lethal action against your fellow disciples when snatching each other’s tokens.”
“Understood!” The countless number of disciples shouted in unison.
