Chapter 671: Legend of the Ancient Battle

“What?” Ye Mo was shocked. “You’re the Master of the Door of Desolation? How is that possible? How is it possible that you’re locked up here? Don’t tell me Feng Chu is the Young Master? The current master of the First Heaven Society”

“Your acting is pretty decent.” Feng Huang, Master of the Door of Desolation, smiled as he said, “I’ve gotta see how long you can keep acting like this. Since you’re here, I’ll tell you a story. Even though I know that you’re working for Feng Chu, I still wish for you to be able to stand your ground.”

“Master, I know that you won’t believe whatever I say. Since there’s nothing much to do here, I’m all ears.” Ye Mo nodded his head, slowly calming down.

“Have you heard of the huge battled that happened ten thousand years ago?” Feng Huang said calmly.

“Yes!” Ye Mo nodded his head, repeating what Hong Ling had told him, “Legend has it that the Patriarch Six Dao, Dragon Martial, and the Sky Evil Saint Mother combined forces to kill the Primordial Shenrui. In the end, the Patriarch Six Dao lost his life, unfortunately, and legend has it that he’s buried within the Desolate Mountain.”

“That’s right,” Feng Huang nodded, not surprised Ye Mo knew about the battle. “Everyone was after the inheritance of the Patriarch Six Dao. If not for the Zone of Desolation being too weak, this treasure would’ve been taken away by the fighters of the Spirit Martial City. Then, do you know the story about the Dragon Martial and the Sky Evil Saint Mother?

Ye Mo shook his head.

“Those two were the ultimate elite fighters across this whole land and a couple that everyone admired and envied,” Feng Huang said, a hint of envy on his own face. “Both of their training levels were at the peak, and they could do whatever their hearts desired. What’s more, the Sky Evil Saint Mother was the master of the Dragon Martial – it should be against the laws of nature for them to be together. But no one dared to say anything in opposition.”

Hearing that, Ye Mo felt a sense of excitement. If he had the powers to look down on everyone in the land, who would dare to object to him and Xiao Yue being together? Who would dare to say no to whatever he wished? He could do whatever he wanted with his beloved.

“But the two of them ended up fighting each other, and both sides suffered severe injuries. Do you know why?” When Ye Mo shook his head again, Feng Huang continued, “After killing the Primordial Shenrui, both of them started thinking of ways to unite the land and achieve peace. Due to that huge battle, the country was in disarray, Chaos City in particular. Even though the two of them were a couple, they had different opinions on the issue. The Sky Evil Saint Mother wanted to unite the land as one, while the Dragon Martial wanted to distribute power equally across the land, allowing cities to develop through competition. In the end, the two of them had a huge brawl, resulting in such a conclusion.”

“I see.” Ye Mo nodded. “If fighters want to improve and grow, competition is necessary. That can’t be achieved through simply uniting the land.”

“Correct.” Feng Huang nodded as well. The two of them seemed to be getting along. “That’s why, while there are five main zones in this land with differing strengths, all of them are working toward the goal of allowing fighters to reach their peak potential. That’s also why the Door of Desolation that I established is an institution and not a clan.”

“But, the Tianyi Door appeared and has been trying to take over the whole Zone of Desolation,” Ye Mo said. “Master, with all these powers at your disposal, if you get out, based on your strength, you’d definitely be able to curb the Young Master’s ambitions.”

“The five guys before you said the same thing as well, as they tried to win my trust,” Feng Huang said. “I’m not going to fall for that. Did Feng Chu not tell you? I’ve been sealed away by the Soul Steadying Lock Formation. The formation is generated by a countless number of prison souls. The more people who die inside this prison, the stronger the seal becomes. Initially, the seal covered the whole cave and ended up being reduced to this area. This is the amount of space that I can shift around.”

“Master, then where’s the formation?” Ye Mo asked, curious. “Why can’t I see it?”

“Since it’s a Soul Steadying Lock Formation, the thing that it locks onto is, naturally, the soul,” Master Feng Huang said calmly. “The formation has trapped my soul. With my soul trapped, my physical body is unable to escape as well.”

“Master, you’re so powerful, how did they manage to capture you?” Ye Mo asked, surprised.

“Strong? Am I stronger than ten fighters at the peak of the Profound Heaven Realm?” Feng Huang couldn’t help but ask. “Bloodsaber and I were at the receiving end of a combined attack by ten First Heaven Society elders. They set up multiple formations and traps against us. In the end, Bloodsaber escaped with heavy injuries, I have no idea where she’s been since. As for me, I ended up being captured.”

“You were surrounded by ten fighters at the peak of the Profound Heaven Realm?” Ye Mo was stunned once again. The First Heaven Society actually had ten fighters at the peak of the Profound Heaven Realm – elder-level figures? For Feng Chu to be able to order them around, was all this done by the Door of Desolation Master?

When Feng Huang and Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber were surrounded by the elites, Feng Chu had yet to become genuinely powerful yet. Did the First Heaven Society intend to swallow the Door of Desolation whole from the start?

Furthermore, with both the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber and the Door Master suffering together, one could only imagine how frightening the giant battle was.

“You must have been captured because you were distracted by protecting my master,” Ye Mo said with a smile.

“What? Master? You’re Bloodsaber’s disciple?” Feng Huang was shocked at first, before he came back to his senses. He sighed, “You almost got me. Back then, Bloodsaber was so heavily injured that there was no way that she would’ve survived. A shame.”

“Door Master, my master didn’t die,” Ye Mo said passionately. He hadn’t imagined that the Door Master and his Master would be close. “After that heavy injury, she was cornered in the fire pond of the Desolation Ancient World. Just before she died, she managed to make a breakthrough again and stay alive. When I was participating in the trials in the Desolation Ancient World, I entered the fire pond by mistake, allowing Saint Ancestor to revive her powers.”

“Are you for real? Bloodsaber is not dead?” Feng Huang asked, surprised. A hint of hope lit up his face.

“Master is indeed alive,” Ye Mo said. “Recently, she’s shut herself off again. I think she intends to make the breakthrough to the Profound Heaven Realm. It’s because of my status as her disciple, and the fact that I’ve ruined multiple missions of the First Heaven Society, that they captured me.”

“Breakthrough to the Profound Heaven Realm?” Feng Huang asked. Two teardrops rolled down his face. “Bloodsaber is about to reach the Profound Heaven Realm? She must be helping me save my institution.”

The tears instantly evaporated as he said, “Regardless of whether you’re telling the truth or not, I’m glad that you told me such a touching thing. Now, I’ve run out of patience. How do you want to die? I’ll give you what you want.”

“Master, I really am the disciple of Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber,” Ye Mo said anxiously. After saying so much, the man still doubted him – the Young Master must have sent plenty of people here to win his trust.

“Since you used the identity of being Bloodsaber’s disciple to try and win my trust, I’ll use her Blood Energy Blade Aura to kill you!” Feng Huang said as he generated a long blade in his hand, swinging at Ye Mo. A gigantic blood-colored blade aura pierced the air, slicing toward Ye Mo.
