Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo gritted his teeth to persist, but he could hardly hold on.

The Spirit’s power in the Demonic Soul was beyond his imagination, cracking down on his willpower and mind and ready to extinguish his Spiritual Soul.

“How terrible!” Su Mo was depressed because he found it impossible to resist the Demonic Spirit—his life was about to be stolen completely.

Just as Su Mo got ready to detonate his body to perish with the opponent, a Demonic Spirit poured out from the Billion Demonic Sword in his hand.

The Demonic Spirit belonged to the Billion Demonic Sword. It rushed into Su Mo’s consciousness ocean to help him resist the Demonic Soul’s Spirit.

Su Mo rejoiced in his heart and immediately joined forces with the Demonic Spirit to kill the Demonic Soul’s Spirit.

However, even though Su Mo had and the Demonic Spirit were cooperating, they were still no match for the Demonic Soul.

Not long after, the Demonic Spirit was torn and completely tattered.

Ah!

With a scream, the Demonic Spirit began to dissipate.

“Demonic Spirit!” Su Mo shouted in shock. Was the Demonic Spirit going to vanish?

“Jiejie! You have completed the master’s will. I can die in peace!” The Demonic Spirit said with a laugh and then vanished completely.

Su Mo felt desolate: the Demonic Spirit was dead, and he was about to die.

“What?” Su Mo suddenly found the Demonic Soul’s Spirit diminishing quickly.

It delighted him. Without a second thought, he ran all of his Spirit and Mind to strangle the Demonic Soul’s Spirit.

He desperately activated his Devouring Martial Soul to strike back against the Demonic Soul.

In the time it took to take one breath, the Demonic Soul’s Spirit was utterly destroyed by his willpower.

“Devour it!” Su Mo immediately roared, eager to devour the Demonic Soul entirely.

Soon, Su Mo got his wish. The incredibly powerful Demonic Soul was devoured directly by his Devouring Martial Soul.

Hush!

Su Mo sighed in relief as his body descended from the air, only to find himself soaked in sweat.

“It’s all over!” Su Mo was still scared because he had narrowly escaped death.

Although he could not figure out why the Demonic Soul’s Spirit suddenly failed to power up, he simply felt lucky that he had survived.

“What?” Su Mo’s expression changed because he discovered that unlike other devoured Martial Souls and Fighting Souls, the Demonic Soul had not integrated with his Devouring Martial Soul.

The Demonic Soul was still struggling in the vortex of the Devouring Martial Soul, unable to merge with it.

“Devour it!” Su Moviolently triggered his Devouring Martial Soul, but 15 minutes later, it was still impossible to integrate it.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Mo was confused. If the integration failed, not only would the Demonic Soul not be fodder for his Martial Soul, but it could also flee at any time.

“Very hateful! What a strange Martial Soul!”

The Demonic Soul roared unwillingly. It had not expected that it would fail to take someone who had not even reached the Martial Emperor Realm.

“Hmph, I will kill you anyway!” Su Mo snorted coldly. Although he was unable to integrate the Demonic Soul right now, he believed he would be able to do it when his Devouring Martial Soul was upgraded or when his cultivation increased.

After the unwilling bellow, the Demonic Soul fell silent in the Devouring Martial Soul and no longer struggled—it was as if it had disappeared entirely.

A short while later, Su Mo took a deep breath. This time, it had been really dangerous and he had almost died.

Later on, all he needed to do was pay attention to the Demonic Soul in his Devouring Martial Soul. As soon as it attempted to escape, he would immediately mobilize his Devouring Martial Soul.

It would be better if the Demonic Soul chose to stay. When his Martial Soul was upgraded again, he could try to devour and integrate it.

Glancing of the Billion Demonic Sword in his hand, Su Mo sighed slightly. Since the Demonic Spirit in the sword had vanished, the sword’s power had decreased drastically.

“Brother Nie, Girl Han, everything is okay now!” Su Mo said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He put the Demonic Sword back into the storage ring and looked back at Nie Qian and Han Ying at the passage.

“Brother Su, did you… you block the Demonic Soul’s depredation?” Nie Qian asked in astonishment.

He had felt the formidable power of the Demonic Soul. At the very least, it was an expert’s Demonic Soul from the Armor Devil Clan at the peak of the Martial Honored Realm.

Su Mo was able to ward off the depredation of such a powerful Demonic Soul. What a miracle!

“Of course, otherwise how could I still be talking to you?” Su Mo nodded as he spoke.

“Great! Brother Su, you can survive the Punishment, finally!”

Han Ying shone with delight even as she felt extremely shocked by Su Mo’s mighty strength. It was really incredible that he could still escape with his life given such a dangerous situation.

“Let’s go!” Su Mo was unwilling to stay here and asked the two to return through the same route together.

Nie Qian and Han Ying sighed with emotion but still came back with Su Mo immediately.

The way back was clear and unimpeded with no Evil Spirit’s ambush or labyrinths.

Su Mo no longer feared the labyrinths because he had secretly memorized how Liao Yunjian had found the way out of the labyrinths.

Soon, the three of them stepped out of the underground palace and came back to the valley at the bottom of the sea.

They did not stay there, but flew away immediately to the surface of the sea instead.

“Brother Su, shall we continue our experience?” Nie Qian asked Su Mo politely.

“Of course. We have been here for just a little while. Shall we go back now?” Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

He then said to Han Ying, “Girl Han, we’re going to kill more Armor Devils. Hope you can help us.”

Han Ying’s Fighting Soul was so special that it would be of great help to find the Armor Devils.

“No problem!” Han Ying said as she nodded.

The Three of them had a brief discussion and then flew above the sea to search for the Armor Devils’ traces.

With Han Ying’s assistance, they could find the Armor Devils’ tracks in advance, though hundreds of thousands of miles away. Once a powerful Armor Devil was detected, they would instantly evade as far as they could.

As for the weakened Armor Devil, Su Mo would kill it without hesitation, devour its blood and Demonic Soul, and share the spoils with Nie Qian and Han Ying.

Poor as the Armor Devils were, they would each carry a handful of Demonic Crystals, which were also worth a fortune.

Su Mo used a long sword that belonged to Liao Yunjian. It was a silver Upper Imperial weapon, and its force was more powerful than the Billion Demonic Sword with its Demonic Spirit.

They had roamed the vast sea for five days, killing more than 40 Armor Devils, and Su Mo had devoured all of their Demonic Souls, but his Devouring Martial Soul could not advance.

Nie Qian and Han Ying were both astounded by and feared Su Mo’s devouring power. They had never witnessed such a thing before.

After wandering for five days, they found a tiny island to stay in temporarily and began restoring their vitality.
