33: Chapter 33 The Shocking Emperor's Spear! Devouring the Emperor's Body and Evolving!

"This old partner of mine has finally found his new master."

Marshal Yue Wuyun showed no reluctance; the next moment, he tossed the boundless grade divine weapon—which countless martial gods would break their heads fighting over—to Li Mo.

"Child, catch. I have already handled all the procedures for you. You only need one drop of your blood essence, and from this day forward, you will be the master of this jingdi spear."

No one had any reason to object to Marshal Yue Wuyun's arrangement.

Although this recruit trial was forced to an early end, the Moyu Squad was undoubtedly the winner, and as the one who contributed the most within the team, it was only fitting that Li Mo received this boundless grade divine weapon.

"Many thanks, Grandpa Yue."

"No need to thank me. Remember, a weapon is ultimately just an auxiliary tool for combat. The most important thing is your own strength; you must never rely solely on external objects."

"Understood."

The crowd watched in astonishment; there was no telling how many people in The Military wanted guidance from Marshal Yue Wuyun, yet they couldn't even cross his threshold.

Yet Li Mo not only received a gift from this premier marshal but also received personal instruction.

Even the current Lieutenant General, General Qin Fei, had never had such an opportunity!

Suddenly, Marshal Yue Wuyun said, "General Qin Fei, with this matter concluded, my final task is complete. Next, I will be undergoing a long period of cultivation. Tell those brats in The Military not to come and disturb me again."

General Qin Fei's expression was one of deep disappointment. The "long period of cultivation" Marshal Yue Wuyun spoke of likely meant he would be living in seclusion from now on.

"This... Marshal Yue, everyone is waiting for you to come out of retirement! Only with your leadership can Great Xia regain its glory! We cannot do without you! Marshal Yue!"

Marshal Yue Wuyun shook his head and suddenly looked up toward the sun in the sky.

"Each generation has its own tasks to fulfill. What I needed to do was finished long ago. Besides, I still want to live a few more years... I'm off!"

With that, Marshal Yue Wuyun vanished in an instant.

Everyone understood that from this point on, seeing him again would likely be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Watching Marshal Yue Wuyun's retreating figure, General Qin Fei sighed, "Sigh! A hero of an era has now stepped off the stage! Who knows when we will ever see the Marshal again!"

After saying this, General Qin Fei began to instruct everyone to handle the aftermath.

On one hand, it was to handle the bodies of the fallen recruits; on the other, it was to count the casualties and check if any enemies were still hiding in the mountains.

Of course, the most important thing was for him to have Li Mo and the other two return to Winter City immediately, and preferably return to the Recruit Camp as quickly as possible.

Due to the presence of a mole, this entire batch of recruits had been targeted.

The Black Earth Tribe would not let them go so easily. To avoid any complications, returning behind the border line was the safest course of action.

No matter how rampant the Black Earth Tribe was, they wouldn't dare act rashly within the borders of Great Xia.

Thus, Li Mo and the other two immediately returned to Winter City.

Only after entering their quarters in Winter City did the three of them finally heave a sigh of relief.

Xu Feng sighed, "We survived a disaster! I won't lie to you guys, my legs were trembling! The Liangyi Realm—in all my life, I haven't even seen such a powerhouse a few times, let alone faced one personally."

Zheng Jiahao also gave a self-deprecating smile, "To be honest, I was quite scared too. I always thought I wasn't afraid of death, but when it actually came to that point, I couldn't suppress the instinctive fear in my heart at all."

At this point, Zheng Jiahao suddenly looked at Li Mo and said, "Li Mo, this time I am truly impressed by you! In that situation, you were actually able to pick up your weapon and fight that assassin. Are you really not afraid of death?"

Saying he wasn't afraid of death would naturally be a lie. Back when Li Mo had nothing to his name and had to worry about college while burdening his Aunt at home, he truly wasn't afraid of death.

But things were different now. He possessed the Devouring Emperor Body and had the hope of letting his Aunt live a good life; naturally, he didn't want to die so easily.

But at that time, he didn't know why, but facing the pressure of the Liangyi Realm powerhouse, Li Mo felt boundless courage welling up in his heart. This might have been thanks to the function of his SSS-grade talent, the Devouring Emperor Body.

It was said that SSS-grade talents all had the ability to ignore the pressure of cultivation realms.

Even a martial god-level powerhouse might not be able to have any impact on Li Mo's spirit.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's get some rest early. Tomorrow, when we return to the Recruit Camp, everything will be over."

Having evaded the assassination attempts by the Black Death Group, the three were already exhausted, so Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao fell asleep almost as soon as their heads hit the pillows.

Li Mo, however, was still thinking about the jingdi spear he had received from Marshal Yue Wuyun.

According to Marshal Yue Wuyun, he only needed one drop of blood essence for the jingdi spear to acknowledge him as its master.

With a thought, Li Mo forced a drop of blood essence from his body, which then slowly dripped onto the jingdi spear.

The next moment, Li Mo felt a telepathic connection with the jingdi spear.

Previously, because the gap between Li Mo and a martial god was too vast, he couldn't perceive the terrifying power contained within the jingdi spear.

But only after bonding with it through his blood did Li Mo truly feel the power of this spear.

This feeling was like Li Mo previously being a frog at the bottom of a well, only able to perceive the outside world through the opening of the well.

But now, that frog at the bottom of the well was standing on the surface of the ocean, personally feeling the vast, ocean-like power, with endless energy surrounding Li Mo in layers.

With Li Mo's current cultivation, he probably couldn't even unleash one ten-thousandth of the power of this boundless grade divine weapon.

But even so, just as a weapon alone, this jingdi spear was already stronger than countless others!

Terms like "cutting iron like mud" or "slicing hair as it falls" were far too shallow to describe it.

It wasn't just a weapon, because it had the power of a martial god infused within it.

Just then, a system notification suddenly rang in Li Mo's ears.

"Ding! Due to obtaining a boundless grade divine weapon, your Devouring Emperor Body has evolved!"

"The attributes of your Devouring Emperor Body have undergone some changes; you can go to the system panel to view them."

Li Mo was astonished to hear this prompt. The Devouring Emperor Body could actually evolve?

Then, Li Mo immediately opened the system panel to check.

The inspection results left him amazed!

Was this what they called "some changes"?

This was simply a massive transformation!

The passive attributes of the Devouring Emperor Body had received a massive boost.

The original 200% increase in cultivation speed had now become 300%!

The original 300% increase in base attributes had now become 500%!

The original 100% enhancement to Natural Type ability strength had now become 200%.

The most impressive part was that the original 50% increase in physical combat strength had now become 300%!

Such an improvement could only be described as monstrous.

Li Mo's base attributes were already significantly higher than those of other martial artists at the same realm.

With this boost, Li Mo's base attributes could now be said to be at least three minor realms higher than martial artists of the same level.

This meant that although he was currently at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could already be considered on par with the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

And this was just in terms of base attributes.

Not counting any of his heaven-defying talents, mental cultivation techniques, combat skills, and other bonuses!
