Ye Mo

Ye Mo is an Ancient Dao royal from the Immortal Astral Continent who enters the cave world, battles the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign, and dies there. His 3,000 scattered blood drops become the source of the cave's ancient gods, ancient demons, and ancient devils, while his tomb preserves a residual will, memories, soul, arms, heart, and martial inheritances. Wang Lin gathers most of those remnants, but he never becomes Ye Mo: the inheritance is incorporated into Wang Lin's own Ancient Dao bloodline and remains incomplete because Ye Mo's destroyed left eye carried half his memories. (Chapters 1418, 1457–1478, 1558, and 1766–1778)

The later Ancient Dao Emperor is also named Ye Mo. He is a separate, much later ruler who greets Xuan Luo in royal robes and is killed by Wang Lin. Those late palace scenes describe the namesake emperor, not the ancient predecessor whose tomb and remains Wang Lin inherits. (Chapters 2009 and 2033)

Biography

Ancient Dao royal in the cave

The first-generation Vermillion Bird remembers Ancient Order Ye Mo as a power whom even the Ancient Celestial Sovereign dreaded, though Ye Mo was not his equal. Later evidence places Ye Mo in the Ancient Dao royal line and associates him with a blood sword granted by an Ancient Dao emperor. He crosses from his homeland into the cave and becomes the great Ancient One opponent of the celestial ruler. (Chapters 1418, 1824, and 2002–2005)

Their conflict ends with Ye Mo's defeat. Li Guang shoots out his left eye, which contains half his memories and his longing for home, and the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign kills him. The tomb built around his remains is not simply a memorial: it is part inheritance ground, part burial mechanism, and part structure used to nourish the Yi Si Puppet from the bodies and power placed within it. (Chapters 1469–1476 and 1769–1770)

Before death, Ye Mo scatters 3,000 drops of blood. One thousand become ancient gods, one thousand ancient demons, and one thousand ancient devils; fusion and dilution across generations produce the cave world's three ancient clans. These descendants inherit only traces of his royal blood and are distinct from Ye Mo himself. The burly ancient god Luo Chen is one such descendant, not a surviving form of Ye Mo. (Chapters 1558, 1700, and 2035)

The Ancient Tomb inheritance

Ye Mo's voice first reaches Wang Lin through the Ancient Order Tomb. Rank-nine passage through its reincarnation gate is meant to distinguish clan heirs from outsiders, while the Earth Palace and deeper layers conceal further inheritance. When Wang Lin reaches the throne, his divine sense fuses with the tomb's will and Ye Mo's residual will. The resulting roar can contest the Sovereign's power, but it is still an echo of the dead predecessor rather than a restored consciousness. (Chapters 1457–1473)

Absorbing the inheritance forces Wang Lin through Ye Mo's pain and memories. His left eye bleeds as though struck by Li Guang, and his own memories seem ready to tear away with Ye Mo's missing half. Wang Lin nevertheless uses the inherited God Tremble, Army Formation and recognizes the method for summoning the Earth Palace. He leaves with a partial legacy, not a complete transfer: the missing eye ensures that Ye Mo's full history and homesickness can never be recovered from the tomb alone. (Chapters 1469–1478)

Blood, right arm, and ancestral recognition

The scattered bloodline later leads Wang Lin to more of Ye Mo's power. He absorbs ancient blood drops, strengthens his three Ancient Clan systems, and eventually discovers Ye Mo's enormous right arm sealed beneath the Ancient Dao trial altar. Fusing with it gives Heaven Ripping a physical force capable of tearing apart third-step bodies and overcoming high-level defensive treasures. (Chapters 1671–1676, 1700–1712, 1728, and 1740)

These gains draw Xuan Luo's attention because Wang Lin appears to be Ye Mo's heir. Yet the trial reveals something beyond inheritance: Wang Lin receives the Ancient Ancestor's Soul Blood and recognition on his own merits. This distinction matters throughout the later story. Ye Mo's body and blood provide a foundation, but Wang Lin's twenty-seven stars, silver eyes, and relationship to the Ancient Ancestor exceed what Ye Mo himself achieved. (Chapters 1706–1712, 1736, and 1777)

The remnant soul

The Dong Ling pool preserves the last of Ye Mo's heart blood and a remnant origin soul. Yun Na offers the blood to heal Wang Lin, but the remnant soul enters his body during integration and attempts to seize the inheritance vessel. Wang Lin has already noticed the danger and remains confident that possession will fail. The Ancient Ancestor's Soul Blood suppresses the remnant, which dissipates and becomes part of Wang Lin's Ancient Dao inheritance. (Chapters 1766–1767)

This scene is Ye Mo's nearest approach to acting after death, but it is not a successful resurrection. The will in the tomb, the voice in the inheritance, and the possessing origin soul are separate residual aspects left by one dead person. By the end of the fusion, none remains an independent Ye Mo living inside Wang Lin. (Chapters 1457–1473 and 1766–1767)

Left arm and heart

Wang Lin returns to the Ancient Tomb and finds Ye Mo's left arm frozen in the pool. After absorbing it, he can manifest both scarred arms through Heaven Ripping and begins forming ninth stars. He descends to the lowest layer for Ye Mo's giant heart, but the heart initially rejects him and refuses to match his heartbeat. Only after Wang Lin persists does the inheritance approach completion. (Chapters 1768–1775)

With the heart, soul, bloodline, and both arms integrated, Wang Lin emerges with nine ancient-god stars, nine ancient-devil stars, and eight ancient-demon stars. The missing left eye prevents absolute completion. He uses Ye Mo's heartbeat spell and Ancient Dao techniques against Ghost Zhan, while acknowledging that even this inheritance does not immediately make him stronger than the fused Void Tribulant enemy. (Chapters 1777–1778)

Descendants and the namesake emperor

After reaching the Ancient Dao homeland, Wang Lin searches for Ye Mo's descendants. Their royal branch has declined to a single mansion, but it survives. Luo Chen follows his own bloodline to them, and Wang Lin purifies Luo Chen's royal blood so that he can protect the family. A later representative who resembles Ye Mo attends ceremonies in the Ancient Ji, confirming that the line continues independently of the absorbed remains. (Chapters 2020, 2035, and 2054)

The ruling Ancient Dao Emperor whom Wang Lin meets is likewise named Ye Mo, but the chronology and context identify him as another person. This emperor appears alive in the imperial city, is the son of the previous royal generation, and dies when Wang Lin invokes the Ancient Ancestor's judgment. The ancient predecessor had already died in the cave ages earlier and left descendants whom Wang Lin separately asks Luo Chen to protect. (Chapters 2009, 2020–2035, and 2054)

Appearance and personality

The ancient Ye Mo is reconstructed primarily through memories and remains. His inherited arms are enormous, rough, scarred, and strong enough to tear open the world. His lost-eye memory contains fierce attachment to his homeland, while his tomb voice is proud and threatening toward outsiders. These fragments suggest an imperious warrior, but no continuous present-day scene survives from which to infer a full personality. (Chapters 1457, 1469–1476, and 1771)

The approachable man in royal robes who softens his aura “like a spring breeze” is the later namesake Ancient Dao Emperor. That description should not be applied to the ancient predecessor. Likewise, Wang Lin's giant Ancient Dao shadow eventually takes Wang Lin's own form, emphasizing that using Ye Mo's body does not erase the inheritor's identity. (Chapters 1758 and 2009)

Abilities and cultivation

Ye Mo's inheritance unifies the physical power of the three Ancient branches with royal Ancient Dao blood. Most detailed demonstrations occur when Wang Lin uses inherited organs, memories, and techniques; those uses show what Ye Mo left behind but do not make Wang Lin a reincarnation or prove immediate mastery equal to the original.

Ancient Dao body and royal blood

Ye Mo integrates ancient-god, ancient-demon, and ancient-devil power in one Ancient Dao body. His three thousand scattered blood drops generate the cave world's three Ancient populations, demonstrating that his blood can transmit branch-specific traits even after dilution. Their descendants inherit fragments rather than Ye Mo's complete identity or royal status. Wang Lin's later absorption gathers portions of this legacy into his own independently recognized Ancient Dao bloodline. (Chapters 1558, 1700, and 2035)

God Tremble, Army Formation

This inherited punch makes the surrounding world appear to rotate around its point of impact. In Ye Mo's memory, the completed technique also calls an army of ancient soldiers, turning one physical strike into a formation-scale assault. Wang Lin can reproduce the rotational principle after receiving the inheritance but initially lacks the full original manifestation. The contrast establishes progression and prevents an inheritor's partial use from defining Ye Mo's maximum mastery. (Chapters 1476 and 1778)

Heaven Ripping and inherited arms

Heaven Ripping uses Ancient physical force to seize and tear bodies, weapons, or space directly. Ye Mo's preserved right arm greatly amplifies Wang Lin's version; after both arms are gathered, the inheritor can manifest paired scarred hands and open an enormous spatial rift. The arms are bodily inheritance and power source rather than ordinary equipment. One arm grants substantial force, while the complete paired form depends on possessing and integrating both. (Chapters 1728, 1740, and 1768–1771)

Heart-pounding spell

Ye Mo's inherited heart drives a rhythmic spell that interferes with an opponent's heartbeat and transmits destructive pressure through repeated pulses. Successful use depends on integrating the preserved heart with the inheritor's own body, so the technique is not simply learned from a mnemonic formula. Its representative late use strengthens Wang Lin in the confrontation with Ghost Zhan, but that performance combines Ye Mo's organ with Wang Lin's cultivation. (Chapters 1775–1778)

Residual will, tomb authority, and failure

Ye Mo leaves will, soul residue, and memories capable of reinforcing the Ancient Tomb, enlarging an inheritor's divine sense, and resisting outside intrusion. These remnants are incomplete. Li Guang's arrow destroys Ye Mo's left eye and the half of his memories stored with it; the Celestial Sovereign kills him, and his remaining soul cannot overcome Wang Lin's Ancient Ancestor Soul Blood during the inheritance struggle. The residual will is therefore powerful posthumous machinery, not a surviving whole Ye Mo or the later emperor who shares his name. (Chapters 1469–1476 and 1766–1767)

Relationships

• Wang Lin: Wang Lin inherits Ye Mo's blood, soul, arms, heart, memories, will, and techniques, while resisting possession and retaining his own identity. Ye Mo is a foundational predecessor, not a reincarnation or alternate name for Wang Lin. (Chapters 1457–1478 and 1671–1778)
• Xuan Luo: Xuan Luo knows Ye Mo as a child of the Ancient Dao and recognizes the significance of his heir. His eventual choice of Wang Lin, however, rests on Wang Lin's broader ancestral recognition rather than Ye Mo's legacy alone. (Chapters 1707–1712 and 1769)
• The Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign: The Sovereign kills Ye Mo after a great ancient battle, uses his tomb within the cave's machinery, and remains the principal enemy reflected through the inheritance memories. (Chapters 1418, 1469–1478, and 1769–1778)
• Ghost Zhan: Ghost Zhan recognizes that Wang Lin has gathered almost all of Ye Mo's inheritance and treats the resulting Ancient Dao power as a genuine danger. (Chapters 1777–1778)
• Luo Chen and Ye Mo's descendants: They carry diluted royal blood descended from the 3,000 drops. Wang Lin strengthens Luo Chen and asks him to guard the predecessor's surviving household. (Chapters 1558, 1700, and 2035)

Items

• Blood Slaughter Sword: Ye Mo received this blood sword from an Ancient Dao emperor. Wang Lin inherits it with incomplete memories and learns its name only later on the Immortal Astral Continent. (Chapters 1824 and 2002)
