Warrior’s Promise

In a simple-looking palace, Su Mo opened his eyes and ended his seclusion.

After cultivating for a few months, his Martial Sage End Realm cultivation level had become more grounded.

However, he was still far from the Martial Sage Great Completion Realm.

During his seclusion, Su Mo had not only condensed his cultivation level but he was merging the Fighting Souls as well.

The Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul was mighty. It was unlike the ordinary Fighting Souls, so he could not activate it using the method that he had used on the ordinary Fighting Souls.

After spending some time studying the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul, Su Mo had a good understanding of it and could use it freely.

He was thus able to bring out the true power of the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul.

Shortly, Su Mo stood up and stepped out of the palace.

Creak!

When he opened the gate, he got a shock. Many people were crowding outside the gate.

After he did a count, he found that there were around 10,000 people and they had blocked off the passageway.

The First Elder, Qu Ya, Luo Rong, Jian Zhong, and many other elders and disciples were among them.

“What are you doing?” Su Mo asked as he looked at the multitude in amazement.

“Su Mo, there are two more weeks before your fight with Gongcheng Tai Hao takes place. You will need around two weeks to reach the River of Fallen Star!”

The First Elder said grimly as he stepped forth. Part of his hair was white, and he had a big build.

He had been waiting outside Su Mo’s palace for two days. If Su Mo was still not out, he had the intention to go in to remind Su Mo.

After all, the date of the fight was round the corner.

Qu Ya, Luo Rong, and many disciples and elders fixed their gaze on Su Mo and they looked excited.

The refined youth had defeated Ye Lingtian, who was the most powerful King Sage in the Dark Region. He was about to challenge Gongcheng Tai Hao, the legendary, invincible figure.

Everyone was looking forward to seeing the outcome.

In fact, many disciples from Shang Qing Palace had already left for the River of Fallen Star.

The cultivation level of those disciples was low, thus they had to set off earlier lest they not get there on time to watch the fight.

Those who were still around were mostly experts. They had confidence in reaching the River of Fallen Star before the appointed time.

“Alright!” Su Mo nodded. He had come out of seclusion as he had taken into consideration the traveling time.

“Su Mo, let me lead the way. We shall go to the River of Fallen Star together!” The First Elder said, showing reverence to Su Mo. Although he was a Rank 1 Empty God, he dared not look down on Su Mo.

Given Su Mo’s talent and combat strength, even Yue Hai, a Rank 3 Empty God had to hold Su Mo in high regard, let alone the First Elder.

“Where are your Palace Master and the… lady elder?” Su Mo asked.

All the top powers from the Sky Tyrant Clan would be there to witness the fight. If Ling Chang was not around, Su Mo would not have a fair chance to fight Gongcheng Tai Hao.

“They will be there. Don’t worry!” The First Elder nodded.

“Alright. Let’s set off!” Su Mo did not say another word, and he flew up to the sky.

When the First Elder saw it, he caught up with Su Mo and led the way.

The disciples and elders left Shang Qing Palace and followed Su Mo and the First Elder toward the River of Fallen Star.

 …

The River of Fallen Star was located in the center of Dark Region. As the name suggested, the river had been formed by several fallen stars.

The River was wide and long, and it occupied a large area.

The River of Fallen Star was not in existence until men created it, whereupon it became one of the wonders of the world.

According to legend, several hundreds of thousands of years ago, many big stars were located there.

After the Great Ancient Battle, all the stars had been destroyed and they broke up into fragments.

The fragments then formed the current River of Fallen Star.

The River of Fallen Star was currently packed with many martial artists and one could not even see the end of the horizon.

The top powers from the various forces and races in the entire Dark Region had gathered at the River of Fallen Star.

Even martial artists from the surrounding stars were led by their elders to the River of Fallen Star to watch the fight.

It was not exaggerating to say that millions of martial artists had gathered around the River of Fallen Star, and the scene was beyond description.

A meteorite, which was about the size of a hill, was located at the center of River of Fallen Star, and a burly figure was sitting cross-legged on it.

The person was in a golden robe, and he looked determined and sharp. His long hair fell to his waist, and he looked elegant and calm.

He was none other than Gongcheng Tai Hao, one of the main leads for the fight.

Many people looked at Gongcheng Tai Hao with admiration, amazement, and respect.

There were no qualms about the fact that Gongcheng Tai Hao was the idol of many young martial artists in the Dark Region.

Ever since Gongcheng Tai Hao had become famous, he had never stopped creating miracles and he had continuously made himself known in the Dark Region.

He had become a legendary figure in the Dark Region.

“Today is the day of the fight. Why is Su Mo not here yet?”

“Has he chickened out?”

“I don’t think so. If not, he wouldn’t have sent out the Battle Invitation!”

“Although Su Mo has defeated Ye Lingtian, I don’t think he can defeat Gongcheng Tai Hao!”

“I think likewise. Gongcheng Tai Hao is an Inborn Supreme. He has a longstanding reputation and his combat strength has been proven over and over again. Whereas, for Su Mo, what ability does he have to take on Gongcheng Tai Hao?”

“Well, we will know soon if Su Mo is truly powerful. I am looking forward to seeing it!”

Many people were discussing among themselves around the River of Fallen Star and the area was bustling with noise. The people were discussing and speculating about the outcome of the fight.

Apparently, 90 percent of the multitude reckoned that Gongcheng Tai Hao would defeat Su Mo. After all, all of them knew the power that Gongcheng Tai Hao possessed.

As for Su Mo, he had appeared all of a sudden. He had defeated Ye Lingtian out of the blue and become the most powerful King Sage in the Dark Region. However, no one had witnessed his actual strength.

Thus, most of them felt that Gongcheng Tai Hao would emerge as the winner.

Li Zun, Li Feng, and the top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan were standing beside the River of Fallen Star. They had arrived early and had been waiting for the fight to begin.

“Clan Leader, will they back out?”

One of the top powers asked Li Zun with a grave look.

“Don’t worry, they will be here!” Li Zun shook his head and looked indifferent.

This time around, not only Su Mo but the woman also had to die.

After killing Su Mo and the woman, they would destroy Shang Qing Palace.

“Clan Leader, do we have to get involved?” Li Feng asked anxiously when he saw the killing intent in Li Zun’s eyes.

Li Feng was worried. Is the Clan Leader scheming against Su Mo? In that case, Su Mo will be in danger!
