The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

The sun slowly rose above layers of clouds, shining down on the Tiandu Sea. It was as if the emerald seawater was covered in a layer of gold. The sea’s surface was particularly calm that day. As the mild wind swept by, layers of currents rose, causing violent ripples to form. Following that, the ripples started to turn wild. The surface of the Tiandu Sea started to form bubbles.

Giant Tiger Sharks leaped out of the sea one by one, a majestic sight. This was the wild season of the sharks. Any Tiandu City fighter walking past the ocean definitely knew that it was a sign of the mirage appearing.

Before long, a ray of red descended, shooting towards one side of the sea. In an instant, a miraculous sight occurred; the Tiandu Sea became paradise. A mirage was, in actuality, an image made up of light reflections, but this image was definitely an actual place in existence somewhere far away. The appearance of the paradise sent everyone in Tiandu City into shock—they knew that the mirage had already arrived.

“The mirage has already appeared. Members of the Tong Family, you will ambush beside the sea and be ready to assist us at any time. The four of us shall head towards the side of the Tiandu Sea first to check on the situation.”

Tong Lan immediately unfolded her energy wings and flew into the sky, looking at the paradise from afar as her expression became solemn. Everyone in Tiandu City, regardless of authority or status, rushed out from the city at the same time, charging towards the Tiandu Sea. As for Ye Mo, he followed Tong Lan, Elder Tong, and company, rushing towards the Tiandu Sea, looking at the fairylike image created by the mirage.

The paradise was covered with white fog from all directions, with ancient trees intertwining with each other, seemingly fusing with the sound of the wind, making a beautiful atmosphere. There were a few bird creatures flying in the sky, occasionally revealing themselves, adding to the mystery of the paradise.

Ye Mo knew that this mirage was not in the Tianwu Kingdom, but somewhere in the Lingwu Continent.

As the masses rushed towards the shore of the sea, a giant ship was taken out from the Dimensional Bracelet. This type of ship’s exterior had been constructed according to the outline of a giant whale, preventing it from being easily attacked by deep-sea monsters.

Deep Sea Giant Whales represented a strong presence within the Tiandu Sea. Adult Deep Sea Giant Whales were all in the True Energy Realm, making them one of the dominators of the seas.

“Ye Xiao, Zhu Qiang, Elder Tong Shan, the mirage normally lasts for more than ten minutes. We are going there as well,” Tong Lan said as she waved her arm, causing a giant ship to appear. The four of them climbed aboard and ventured through the waves towards the location where the mirage had appeared. Standing on top of the ship, everyone looked up to observe the paradise from afar.

After that, a fairy-like woman appeared from inside the mirage. With her face covered by a white veil and her body clad in a long white dress, her beauty was comparable to the moon and the stars. She had a long, beautiful head of black hair that flowed down her back like a falling galaxy, and crystal jade-like skin that looked like snow.

Everyone rushing towards the mirage was stunned by the lady’s appearance. Like the stars above the sky, the woman’s beauty could only be seen from afar.

“Such a beauty exists on earth?” Even Tong Lan felt embarrassed while looking at the lady in paradise. Regardless of their aura or appearance, the two of them were worlds apart.

“It’s Yue Yue!” Ye Mo watched as he stood rooted to the ground, an expression of disbelief on his face. He was taken completely by surprise. The image reflected by the mirage was actually Xiao Yue, the woman who had been on his mind all this time.

The lady in the mirage was seen taking out a green long sword from her Dimensional Bracelet before she started to perform a sword technique sequence.

The sequence was extremely powerful and filled with grace, but it gave others a chilly feeling. Everyone felt solemn and afraid of the lady’s sword technique.

There was an emotion of missing one’s lover incorporated into the sword technique, forming a type of will. It was the Will of the Deep Grieving Sword!

Upon witnessing this sight, all the fighters felt a deep sense of sorrow for the lady. At that moment, all of them forgot that they were there to fight for the mirage.

“This woman is filled with such sorrow. Who exactly is the man who broke her heart? He must be blind.”

“This is too touching. If a woman missed me this much, I’d be glad to give up ten years of my life for her.”

“I feel like rushing towards her to comfort her soul.”

The crowd began to discuss among themselves after seeing what happened.

“This is too emotional. To be able to display such a sword technique for her lover, that woman must have someone that she’s deeply in love with.” As Tong Lan spoke, her glance shifted towards Ye Mo. Following that, she saw that Ye Mo’s eyes were filled with tears. “Don’t tell me that even Ye Xiao’s heart was touched by that sword technique sequence?”

The lady in the mirage waved her green long sword a few more times, sending out rays of green sword blades towards a giant tree far away. Holding onto her long sword, the woman slowly left the land of paradise.

On the trunk of the giant tree, a giant “Mo” was carved. Looking at the giant “Mo” on the tree, Ye Mo was almost sent into a seizure. Enduring the sorrow in his heart, he clutched his hands tightly together.

Ling’er could also detect the solemnity from that set of sword techniques, her eyes fogging up as well. “Brother Ye Mo, don’t be sad. Sister Xiao Yue simply misses you too much.”

“It is a shame that I still don’t have the ability to go and find her yet.” Clenching his teeth, Ye Mo said, “I have to become stronger and stronger!”

“The mirage has disappeared!” Suddenly, a voice was heard from one of the ships. The mirage in the sky had indeed vanished. All the boats instantly increased their speed, cutting through the waves and charging towards the location where the mirage had originally appeared.

Everyone recovered from the wave of sorrow and came back to their senses—they were there to steal a treasure. Their previously sorrowful faces turned into expressions of determination, coupled with a deep sense of excitement. With this anxious excitement, all the ships charged towards the deep end of the Tiandu Sea.

“Roar!” Suddenly, an angry growl erupted from within the deep sea. Following that, a giant creature emerged from the sea. It was one of the leaders of the Tiandu Sea—a Deep Sea Giant Whale.

The Deep Sea Giant Whale covered tens of yards with a single leap. Opening its mouth as it descended, it swallowed a whole ship with a single gulp. With its giant body crashing against the water’s surface, a giant hurricane was immediately formed, causing all of the ships to start trembling.

Some of those controlling the ships who were at lower levels had their ships directly overturn and capsize.

“This is the Deep Sea Giant Whale, which is in at least the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. The strongest of its kind can even reach the strength level of the True Energy Realm!” shouted one of the fighters out loud.

Rumble, rumble!

Multiple Deep Sea Giant Whales emerged above the surface once again, a total of seven of them. Plunging back below, they unleashed seven bucket-thick water pillars. The leader of the Deep Sea Giant Whales displayed a body with black, vibrant scales. It was a black color that glistened and was tens of yards long. Above the water pillar was a man. He was extremely young, clad in black clothes and pants with a black trident in hand. This was an energy deity that had been formed in the Energy Shaping Realm. The other six whales also generated clones above their water pillars.

There were as many as twenty ships in search of the mirage. However, upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Deep Sea Giant Whales, few of the ships could maintain their steadiness.

“You people are actually thinking of ambushing us and finding the residence left behind by the fighters of the Kraken Clan? Are you all unaware of the strength of the Kraken Clan? This is the deep sea, our territory.”

The man standing atop the water pillar of the Giant Whale looked at the twenty-odd ships before him with cold eyes. “I am the best of the Deep Sea Giant Whale clan. I will take all of you down, take your Dimensional Bracelets, then bury your bodies beneath the deep sea!”
