Warrior’s Promise

Lightning flashed and thunder roared above the sky. The force of thunder grew stronger and stronger.

The Lightning Punishment consisted of nine waves and Su Mo had already passed seven. Two more to go.

These last two Lightning Punishments would be the most powerful two.

Boom!

A loud sound when the eighth Lightning Punishment came down.

This eighth Lightning Punishment, in the form of a massive thunder blade of over one thousand zhang in length, was very powerful. It came from heaven, aiming at Su Mo’s head.

Before the thunder blade’s arrival, its horrifying blade power already shook open the ground, causing a long rift of ten thousand li.

“Destroy!”

Su Mo looked grim. He wielded his sword again, performing the first move of the Grand Firmament Swordplay.

The extremely sharp sword Qi was unstoppable, with the power to annihilate the sky. It crushed the eighth lightning punishment.

A moment later, the last Lightning Punishment came.

This last Lightning Punishment took the form of a Thunderbolt Sword, at least twice as powerful as the thunder blade.

The power on the thunderbolt sword alone turned an area of over one thousand li in radius into nonothingness.

“This last Lightning Punishment is almost as powerful as a strike from a Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm peak expert!” Su Mo’s eyes bright like the lightning gazed closely at the Thunderbolt Sword in the sky.

This last Lightning Punishment would exert his full strength. The previous ones didn’t deserve his full attention.

The Thunderbolt Sword, two thousand zhang long, stood between heaven and earth. Its power and awe scared all the disciples of the Xuan Sect.

From disciples to elders, everyone had a violent shiver in their heart.

This horrifying Thunderbolt Sword was so powerful Cound Su Mo handle it?

Jiang Fengran felt nervous for Su Mo. In the entire Xuan Clan, probably only the sect mater and the First Elder could survive this Lightning Punishment. Everyone else would be dead.elder.

If Su Mo couldn’t resist it, he would be injured severely if not killed.

However, Su Mo’s calm and confidence comforted Jiang Fengran.

Perhaps he had thought too much. Su Mo couldn’t be measured by common sense.

Under hundreds of thousands of horrified eyes, the Thunderbolt Sword instantly penetrated through nothingness and stabbed towards Su Mo violently.

Rumble, rumble!!

The thunderbolt sword’s high speed caused a shrill noise wherever it passed.

In the twinkling of an eye, the Thunderbolt Sword descended on Su Mo’s head.

Swish!

At this very moment, Su Mo moved. He was ready, his Dark Force and Qi Force giving the Emperor Sword a dazzling shine.

“Break it!”

After the loud shout, the Emperor Sword drew a beautiful curve and confronted the Thunderbolt Sword with immense power.

When the Emperor Sword and the Thunderbolt Sword hit each other, the entire world fell silent.

The next breath.

Boom!

A loud explosion shook heaven and earth. The hill under Su Mo’s feet instantly turned into ashes.

What’s more, the ground further down fell apart and sank as if hit by a meteorite from the outer space.

Boom!

The deafening noise filled the space between heaven and earth. The ground within thousands of li sank hundreds of zhang, forming a huge basin.

Countless mountains and old growth became nothingness, and thick smoke flew up into the sky. A scene of destruction.

They opened their eyes wide, looking through the think smoke and dust.

Did Su Mo survive the Martial Royal Ordeal or was he killed by the God’s Ordeal?

They didn’t wait long. After one breath, a tall figure stepped out of the endless smoke.

That figure was Su Mo!

The crowd looked intently at him. Su Mo appeared well despite his worn clothes, dishevelled hair, and a dirty face.

He made it!

They were shocked again. Su Mo had pretty much risen to the peak of this era.

Watched by many, Su Mo stepped into the void, approaching Jiang Fengran.

“Brother Jiang, long time no see!” Su Mo greeted with a smile.

“Brother Su, you never fail to amaze me with your progress!” Jiang Fengran returned a wry smile.

“You’ve also changed a lot!” Su Mo sized Jiang Fengran up and found him at Lv 9 Martial King Realm. He probably just made the breakthrough since his aura was not yet stable.

“It’s nothing compared to you.” Jiang Fengran shook his head.

Su Mo cut off the small talks and continued after some thought, “Brother Jiang, I was just looking for you. Good to see you here.”

“Let’s find a place.” Jiang Fengran nodded.

Su Mo had mentioned the same thing last time at the entrance to the Fighting Spirits’ Plane. Jiang Fengran was very curious what Su Mo wanted from him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Air was pierced through again and again. A dozen mighty fighters from the Xuan Sect arrived in front of Su Mo.

“Su Mo, do you have some time to spare? Our master would like to meet you!”

A celestial figure saluted with hands folded in front of his face in a very respectful manner.

No one dared look down upon Su Mo anymore. He was more than just a young talent.

“Oh?” Su Mo was surprised to hear the master of the Xuan Sect was expecting him.

“Lead the way!”

After some thought, Su Mo nodded slightly. He didn’t have any ill feeling towards the Xuan Sect. Their master shouldn’t harm him.

Besides, he was powerful enough to not fear anyone, including the master of the Xuan Sect.

“Jiang Fengran, come along!”

The elder saw they were old acquaintances and invited Jiang Fengran to come together.

“Yes, First Elder!” Answered Jiang Fengran.

Su Mo realized this sage-like elder was the First Elder of the Xuan Sect.

A group of elders of the Xuan Sect led Su Mo and Jiang Fengran towards the Xuan Sect.

…

The Xuan Sect.

Su Mo met the sect master Jiu Chubei but there was no business but a casual chat.

The all-time talent Su Mo had reached the Martial Royal Realm peak. Jiu Chubei simply wanted to get to know him a bit.

Even a fool could tell Su Mo would surely become invincible in the Firmament World.

At Lv 1 Martial Royal Realm, Su Mo already had the strength of the Martial Royal Realm peak. How powerful would he become when he reached Lv 2 or 3 Martial Royal Realm?

Jiu Chubei the master of the Xuan Sect wanted to build a close relationship with Su Mo.

Su Mo chatted with Jiu Chubei for a while and then bade his farewell. He followed Jiang Fengran back to his residence.

In the attic, Su Mo and Jiang Fengran sat opposite each other.

“Brother Su, how can I help you?” Jiang Fengran made a cup of fine spiritual tea for Su Mo and cut right to the point.

Su Mo took a small sip, his eyes locked on Jiang Fengran. “Brother Jiang, have you heard of the Firmament Palace?”

“Firmament Palace?” Jiang Fengran was puzzled, wondering why Su Mo asked.

However, Jiang Fengran nodded. Of course he knew about Firmament Palace.

“Within one month, the Firmament Palace will go public. Please come!” Su Mo’s eyes shone brightly as he said in a deep voice.

“The Firmament Palace is going public?”

Jiang Fengran felt more confused. He asked with a frown, “Isn’t Firmament Palace a sect back to ancient times? Didn’t it perish tens of thousands of years ago?”

“Not really.”

Su Mo shook his head with a smile. “Once the Firmament Palace goes public, the Firmament World will change. You are a very important man in this.”

“Me?” Jiang Fengran was completely lost. He had absolutely nothing to do with the Firmament Palace. He didn’t even know much about this ancient overbearing force.

“Yes. Your responsibility will be heavy!” Said Su Mo with a grin.

“Brother Su, what is going on? You are confusing me!” Jiang Fengran looked full of doubts.

“Brother Jiang, you’ll find out.”

Su Mo patted Jiang Fengran on the shoulder and then rose. “Don’t forget to come!”

Su Mo left the tower in a flash and then rose up into the sky.

“Sigh… Brother Su, make yourself clear!”

Jiang Fengran’s voice echoed behind him but Su Mo didn’t stop. His figure cut through the sky and disappeared.

He held half of the story from Jiang Fengran to keep him wondering so he would be there for sure.
