Warrior’s Promise

Inside the endless void, Su Mo flew west rapidly.

According to the induction in his heart, the other lost Spiritual Sword of his was located in the west, very far away. It would probably take him just under half a month to reach at this speed.

“I should probably reach the Martial Royal Realm first.”

During the flight, Su Mo thought carefully. He was already at the half way Martial Royal Realm. Reaching the Martial Royal Realm would simply be a matter of time.

However, he would encounter Martial Royal Ordeal once he reached the Martial Royal Realm. He had to be cautious about it.

After thinking for a moment, Su Mo decided to attempt the breakthrough in a large mountain range.

Su Mo wasn’t very concerned about the Martial Royal Ordeal with all those Imperial Divine Weapons, particularly those defensive ones.

To survive the ordeal shouldn’t be hard as long as no one else was involved.

Su Mo continued heading west for another three days and a long stretch of mountains appeared in his sight.

This mountain range was massive and stretched to the end of the horizon.

Su Mo flew into the mountains without hesitation. This kind of mountain ranges was rarely visited by human martial artists, making it a perfect place for him to survive the ordeal.

A moment later, Su Mo reached the depths of the mountains and landed in a grassy valley.

Sitting cross-legged in the valley, Su Mo took out a large amount of Supreme Spiritual Stones and began attempting the realm.

The Devouring Martial Soul was released and Supreme Spiritual Stones burst into endless Spiritual Qi, wrapping Su Mo up.

A generous amount of Spiritual Qi streamed into Su Mo’s body, shaking his five pieces of divine elixir violently.

From the Martial King Realm to the Martial Royal Realm, martial artists wouldn’t experience many changes. The Dark Force inside their divine elixir would become purer and more condensed.

Therefore, it shouldn’t be very difficult for Su Mo who was already at the Half Step to Martial King level. Besides, he had a solid support of Spiritual Stones.

Rumble, rumble!

The Spiritual Qi flew at great speed into Su Mo’s body.

No martial artists ever absorbed Spiritual Qi like Su Mo. Hence, the difficulty for others to break a realm would be many times harder than for Su Mo.

He devoured the Spiritual Qi like crazy, which increased his cultivating speed and made reaching the next realm easier with half the effort.

The Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill kept running, dividing the Spiritual Qi into five and then refining them into the Dark Force of the Five Elements before rushing them into the five pieces of divine elixir.

The Spiritual Qi was consumed quickly as piles of Spiritual Stones were devoured by Su Mo.

One hour later, Su Mo had already consumed two billion Supreme Spiritual Stones.

Such a consumption was terrifying beyond his imagination. Any other fighter of the Martial Royal Realm would be shocked by this.

Two billion Supreme Spiritual Stones should be enough for a high-ranking Martial Royal Realm fighter to train for a decade.

As time flew by, Su Mo’s consumption of the Spiritual Stones grew faster but he didn’t give a damn.

He had 20 billion Supreme Spiritual Stones in the jade bracelet, which should be enough.

As long as his cultivation could break through, he wouldn’t care about the usage of worldly possessions like the Spiritual Stones.

About another hour later, the five pieces of divine elixir shook abruptly in unison as it they had broken through some kind of shackles and began to expand wildly.

Within two to three breaths, the five pieces of divine elixir had grown five to six times in size.

Every single piece of the divine elixir improved dramatically. The divine elixir of fire property became a giant fireball, burning brightly. The one of wood property gave off amazing vitality. And the one of water property seemed to contain a vast sea.

Soon after, all the Spiritual Qi was sucked into Su Mo’s body and peace was restored.

“Lv 1 Martial Royal Realm!” Su Mo clenched his fist, feeling the powerful force in his body. His eyes shone brightly.

At this moment, Su Mo’s confidence was overwhelming.

At the Martial Royal Realm, he believed no one in the Firmament World was able to kill him.

Including those Emperor-to-be level experts.

At this moment, Su Mo felt he was already at the summit of the Firmament World.

He couldn’t yet hold all mountains in a single glance but he was certainly already one of the strongest.

“Kill into the Netherworld Devil Sect!”

At this moment, a wild idea was suddenly born in Su Mo’s head.

With his present strength, he could make his way into the Netherworld Devil Sect and rescue Hong Qingxuan by force!

It took Su Mo some time to suppress this idea.

Too risky!

He didn’t have Wu Shan in his hand so the Netherworld Devil Sect wouldn’t spare the rat to save the dishes. If anything went wrong, Hong Qingxuan would be in danger.

He didn’t want to see this so he’d better wait.

It wouldn’t take long for him to become invincible in the Firmament World. By then, it would be a piece of cake to save Hong Qingxuan.

However, since the Netherworld Devil Sect was located in the west, he could hurt them a bit on his way to retrieving his Spiritual Sword.

Moments later, Su Mo rose after a sigh, looking up into the sky.

The sky had darkened, dull and gloomy.

Su Mo knew that his Martial Royal Ordeal was coming.

Su Mo took out the Imperial Medium internal armor and boots and put them on.

The internal armor was called Starry Armor and the boots Red Dragon Boots.

The Starry Armor was a defensive treasure while the Red Dragon Boots combined defense, offense, and speed.

These two treasures together with the Emperor Sword strengthened Su Mo’s confidence in facing the God’s Ordeal.

Dark clouds were gathering in the sky, getting thicker and bigger.

Before long, the entire sky was blocked by the massive dark clouds.

Between heaven and earth, there was complete darkness. One could barely see his own fingers.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Wild beasts began to roar in the mountains. They sensed danger and fled in fear.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Soon after, there were electric curves in the clouds. Mighty force of thunder began gathering.

Boom!

Soon, thunder replaced the massive dark clouds and formed an endless Thunder Sea.

The vast Thunder Sea covered a radius of over ten thousand li. The terrifying thunderous power was earth shattering like a volcano boiling or a vast sea surging.

“What’s going on?”

“Who’s in the ordeal?”

Vaguely, Su Mo heard a voice from a distance.

He didn’t pay much attention. It was perfectly normal to have other martial artists in the mountains, as long as he was not threatened in the ordeal.

However, soon Su Mo’s brows knitted tight as screams and cries were increasing.

“What the heck?”

Su Mo’s face darkened. He activated the Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul to look at the sound source from afar.

“This…” Su Mo became speechless.

There were extensive, magnificent building complexes on mountains about ten thousand miles away.

It was apparently a powerful sect.

The mountain gate to this sect was right under his Calamity Clouds.
