Warrior’s Promise

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the crowd was feeling anxious and doubtful, a dozen super masters flew over from above the clouds.

After checking the blue door of light, the old man in a gray robe turned to the crowd and said, “The Ethereal Territory used to be a training ground for the disciples of the Ethereal Shrine, an ancient sect. There are age formations and attack formations on the entrance. The age formation can automatically detect everyone’s skeletal age. If someone that exceeds the limit tries to enter, they’ll be killed by the attack formation.”

It turned out that there was an age limit for entering Ethereal Territory. The few people just now had likely died because they exceeded the age limit.

“Senior Immortal Minghe, what is the age limit for the Ethereal Territory?” a middle-aged martial artist at the Lv 2 True Spirit Realm asked respectfully. He apparently knew the old man.

“According to our observation, the age limit is set at 25. Anyone above the age of 25 would be killed by the formation, including me.”

The crowd gasped upon hearing him. Immortal Minghe had reached the Enlightenment Realm decades ago and could be considered a grand master in the Hong Domain. Yet, even he could not withstand the formation at the entrance!

Over half of the hundreds of thousands of people here looked defeated when they heard the Immortal Minghe, since they were above the age limit.

After a while, the Immortal Minghe looked at Leng Yunfeng, a genius in the List of Top 100 Talents in Hong Domain, and said, “Yunfeng, your cultivation has been stuck at the Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm for two years. The Ethereal Territory is your opportunity to break through. Don’t miss it!”

Leng Yunfeng nodded and said, “Senior Uncle, please relax. I won’t fail you!”

Then, Leng Yunfeng asked, “Senior Uncle, how long will the entrance remain opened?”

The others also listened carefully as they were also concerned.

Immortal Minghe said after a brief thought, “Ancient trial tests usually lasted from two weeks to a month, but I don’t know the specific time that it will end.”

“Ok!” Leng Yunfeng nodded and said, “Senior Uncle, I’m going in!”

Afterward, Leng Yunfeng put away his Lv 3 spiritual beast into a leather bag and flew into the light door in a flash.

The other experts quickly followed him and rushed toward the entrance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The next moment, hundreds of thousands of people rushed toward the light door. It was a spectacular scene.

Some people came into conflict with each other on their way to the door, and many were killed before even entering.

There were hundreds of thousands of people here, and the better part of them was eligible. They all flooded into the light door in merely 15 minutes.

Su Mo also entered the Ethereal Territory unobtrusively with the crowd.

As soon as he entered the light door, he felt a distortion in the space and could not see or sense anything. It was very depressing.

After god-knows-how-long, the space returned to normal and Su Mo found himself on a highland.

He looked around and found this place was packed. The crowd was not dispersed but had appeared in the same place.

Su Mo looked up and found that the light door was located 100 meters in the air.

“It seems that this light door is both an entrance and an exit!”  He thought to himself and then quickly swept away. The others also scattered in all directions.

“Golden Crown Flower!”

Having just traveled a kilometer, Su Mo already found a golden flower growing on a huge rock.

This golden flower looked like a crown, giving off a dazzling golden light. It was a Lower Lv 3 Spiritual Herb.

“A Lv 3 Spiritual Herb can be found so easily. The Ethereal Territory is truly extraordinary!” 

Su Mo was surprised, but when he realized that no one had stepped into the Ethereal Territory since the ancient times, he understood why there was an abundance of Spiritual Herbs.

He waved to it without any hesitation, and Golden Crown Flower was drawn out of the soil and flew into his palm. But suddenly, a giant python crept up from the back of the rock before he could take a closer look at the flower.

The python sprang out at Su Mo with its mouth wide open, giving off a terrible stench.

It was a Class 9 Lv 2 Demonic Beast, the Iron-rocky Python.

Su Mo unhurriedly landed a normal punch and blasted the Iron-rocky Python off dozens of meters.

“Huh?”

He was astonished that the Iron-rocky Python was completely unharmed and rushed toward him again.

“Right, this is a post-archean demonic beast. Its power is almost comparable to an ordinary Lower Lv 3 Demonic Beast.” 

Su Mo instantly realized that since Ethereal Territory had existed since the ancient times, the demonic beasts inside must be ancient as well. They were definitely much stronger than the demonic beasts outside.

Then, Su Mo did not hold back and threw another punch that blew the python up.

At this moment, three young men passed by and saw the Golden Crown Flower in Su Mo’s hand.

They quickly rushed over and surrounded him.

They should be brothers since they looked similar. Two of them were at the Lv 1 True Spirit Realm, and the other one was at the Peak Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm.

“You, put the Golden Crown Flower down, and I’ll spare your life!” one of the youths who was at Lv 1 said coldly.

“Spare my life? Are you powerful enough?” Su Mo said with disdain.

“Big brother, what are we waiting for? Let’s just kill him!” the youth who was at the Spiritual Martial Realm said impatiently.

“Alright, I’ll kill him!”

The young man who was at the Lv 1 True Spirit Realm swept his palm and a big palm of Genuine Vitality moved toward Su Mo.

“I’ll kill you with one punch!” Su Mo said coldly.

He ran his genuine Qi as his body was shrouded in a golden light, and he landed a punch that blew the young man up.

“What?”

The other two were scared pantsless and forgot to escape.

“You shall die too!”

As Su Mo landed another two punches, they also exploded like their big brother.

After picking up their storage pouches, Su Mo left.

Next, he traveled around the Ethereal Territory, killing many demonic beasts and obtaining many Lv 3 Spiritual Herbs as well.

However, he encountered one lizard at Class 2 Lv 3. It was as strong as a martial artist of the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, and Su Mo had to escape rapidly since he could not kill it.

There were more than 100,000 people that entered the Ethereal Territory. At this moment, slaughter was taking place everywhere.

Meanwhile, at a pavilion in a small lake. Leng Yunfeng was holding a post-archean martial skill in his hand. He glanced at the dozens of people around him and said with a broad grin, “Since you did not run away when you saw me, you shall stay here forever!”

The crowd turned pale as they heard him. They had found a Lower Lv 3 post-archean martial skill in the pavilion, and they were fighting over it, but Leng Yunfeng somehow ended up here.

Leng Yunfeng was peerless amongst the young generation, so he took the scroll by force easily.

Now, he was even going to kill them!

“Run!”

They immediately fled in all directions.

“Hehe!”

Leng Yunfeng slowly pulled out a sword as the crowd was getting away and struck at them.

“Countless Swords in the Sky!”

In an instant, thousands of streams of sword Qi burst out from the sword and flew toward the people who were escaping.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sword Qi was unstoppable and destroyed everything in its way. No one survived it.

After killing them all, Leng Yunfeng shook his head and said to himself, “How dare a group of small fries come looking for treasures. They are merely seeking their own death!”

Then, Leng Yunfeng kept the scroll and strode away.
