“Hahaha!” The elder, laying across the top of the cave, let out a wild laugh, shaking Ye Mo and forcing him to retreat a few steps, causing him to crash against a wall.
“This elder is so strong. Even his voice is imbued with a strong Will.”
Ye Mo was secretly shocked. Every single move the elder made was imbued with a heavy amount of Will. The fact that he was able to stick on the top of the cave meant that he could even change the direction of the gravitational force.
“You’re able to sustain my soundwave forces even with a seal lock,” the elder said sinisterly. “Not bad, the quality of kids that Feng Chu is sending me is getting better and better.”
“Feng Chu?” Ye Mo asked, surprised.
“You’re pretty good at acting. Kid, you have three seconds left to live.” The elder descended from the sky and said calmly, “Any last words? Did Feng Chu force you down here? Or did you ended up here unintentionally?”
It only then did Ye Mo see the elder clearly. Even though he had a messy head of long hair, there wasn’t a single wrinkle on his face. Wearing a white robe long since turned grey, he looked rather peaceful and frail.
“Senior, I don’t know what you mean,” Ye Mo replied calmly.
Indeed, Ye Mo didn’t understand a word that the elder was saying.
“You don’t want to talk? I’ll kill you straightaway, then.” Remaining standing, the elder waved his sleeve. The seal handcuffs on Ye Mo’s body instantly shattered. Ye Mo immediately felt a huge amount of power pouring into his whole body. “Kid, show me your strongest move. I’ve gotta see for myself how much the Door of Desolation has progressed. And I’ve gotta check out what kind of talented disciples Chu Feng is sending me.”
“Senior, I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Ye Mo tried to explain. “I was sabotaged by the Punishment Hall people, and they pushed me down this cave.”
“Kid, your explanation could use more details – perhaps then I would believe you. Since you don’t wanna make a move.”
Ye Mo was angry now – all the elder was doing was saying things that he didn’t understand and trying to kill him. Ye Mo steadied his body. Now that his powers were back, he unleashed 2.5 million rays of Caged Dragon Powers, using his strongest powers to battle the elder. In an instant, the gravitational force was deflected away.
“Good kid, you are indeed stronger than the last one.” The elder started laughing loudly. Clenching one fist and opening the other, Ye Mo felt two pressurizing forces coming at him from two directions. Ye Mo felt as if even his skin was being squeezed by the pressure, and it started to snap. The outer layer of his skin was squeezed and cracked. Traces of blood covered his body.
“Opposing forces from two different directions. How powerful!” Ye Mo roared in anger, unleashing the Will of the Six Dao Cycle, summoning the six gigantic deities before him. In an instant, the amount of pressurizing force exerted on Ye Mo decreased.
“Will of the Six Dao Cycle? How is that possible? How is it possible for you to realize the Will of the Six Dao Cycle?”
Seeing the shadows of the six deities behind Ye Mo, the elder was shocked. Letting out a roar, he was ready to attack again. But Ye Mo replied with a roar as well, “Wait. Senior, if you want to kill me, at least allow me to die with purpose. Are you the Sky Demon Descendant?”
“Sky Demon Descendant? Is that what those people call me?” The elder said coldly. “Don’t waste your time with all this scheming. Even if I die here, I won’t hand over the key to the Six Dao Descendant Treasure Chest.”
“Senior, do you think I’m a spy sent by that Feng Chu person? Do you think that I’m after your key?” Ye Mo said calmly, “I don’t know who Feng Chu is. I was pushed down here by the people of the Punishment Hall. They know that they won’t be able to kill me or do anything to me in other places. They won’t be able to get any information out of me even if they use the Soul Searching Technique on me. That’s why they decided to throw me down here.”
“They can’t do anything to you?” The elder raised an eyebrow. “Your level of defense is indeed something, perhaps even reaching the top-tier treasure item level. But if a Profound World Realm fighter wants to use the Soul Searching Technique on you, there’s nothing you can do to resist it.”
As the elder spoke, he remained standing at his spot. Reaching out a hand, a wave of frightening soul energy was channeled onto Ye Mo’s body. Following that, the elder’s facial expression changed as he quickly withdrew his powers. He said, “What’s inside your body? Why is there such a powerful presence? Even my soul can’t search your body.”
Ye Mo was shocked as well. The elder’s soul powers were extremely strong, but the moment they entered his body, he withdrew them. This indicated an extremely powerful control over one’s soul powers.
Had his powers reached in further, he would definitely have been wounded by the Giant Dragon Deities’ might.
“Good kid, there’s a strong soul presence in your body protecting over your Heart.” The elder was shocked. “Quickly, tell me how confident you are, to dare come here? And what kind of incentives did Feng Chu give you that you deemed worthy to come here and trick me out of my key?”
The elder still thought that Ye Mo was a spy sent down by Young Master Feng Chu. He’d been imprisoned by the Young Master for a hundred years. During this time, he’d sent five or six talented prodigies, people of all sorts – even women. All that to win his inheritance. Knowing that it was impossible for him to leave the jail and that he couldn’t hold on to the key to the Six Dao Descendant Treasure Chest forever. Therefore, he had to find someone that he trusted.
The first young talent had almost managed to trick the elder, only to be found out at the last minute. He ended up being killed by the elder with a single palm strike and was eventually roasted and eaten by the elder. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0velFire.ɴet
Over the next hundred years, a young talent would be thrown down there even ten odd years, all pretending to be in despair as they attempted to gain the sympathy of the elder and finally get the key from him. But all of them were exposed and killed on the spot.
“Key? I have no interest in your key. I wasn’t sent here by some Feng Chu person either. Is there a way to get out of here?”
Ye Mo looked around, only to see that there was only a single exit – the cave entrance that he had come down in the first place.
“Kid, there’s only one exit if you wanna get out of here,” the elder said calmly. “And, with me exerting my gravitational powers, do you think you’ll be able to get out of here?”
“Since you’re going to make my life difficult, then I’ll have a good talk with you.” Ye Mo sat down, cross-legged. “Senior, how did you end up trapped here? Based on your training level, I’m guessing you’re already at the Profound Heaven Realm.”
Since the elder had mistaken him for someone sent by Feng Chu, he wanted to know who this Feng Chu was.
“Interesting!” The elder sat down as well. He laughed calmly, “Since you want to know, I’ll tell you. I am Feng Huang!”
“What? You’re Feng Huang?”
Ye Mo was taken aback.
All Door of Desolation disciples knew about Feng Huang. It was a legendary name. He was the Master of the Door of Desolation.
