Warrior’s Promise

The temperature of the desert rose as Su Mo got close to its center. His Body-protection Dark Force sizzled in the scorching hot air.

Although the heat waves were horrible, it would not be an issue for someone who was over the middle stages of the True Darkness Realm.

Su Mo was not afraid, for his strength bore comparable with that of the Martial King Realm.

Sumo flew hundreds of thousands of miles over the desert before he finally arrived at his destination.

There was a crimson sea of sand, stretching thousands of miles and blazing with flames.

The extremely hot air soared from the sea of sand to the sky, dyeing all the clouds scarlet.

Heat waves swept in all directions and spread wildly outwards.

All heat waves came from this place, the heat source of this desert.

From a distance, Su Mo saw many martial artists flying to this sea of sand from every direction. They immediately disappeared into the sand.

“It seems the Sky-burn Mansion is right under the sea of sand!” Su Mo realised.

Moreover, the crimson sands were out of the ordinary as well. They should not melted under this temperature!

After that, Su Mo did not hesitate to speed over into the crimson sea of sand.

Wrapped in a powerful Body-protection Dark Force, Su Mo did not get hurt at all by the crimson sand. His body sank rapidly and plunged into the ground in a wink.

After he went down for more than 500 miles, the resistance suddenly disappeared and he entered a vast space.

This space in red had a radius of several thousand meters. Even 500 miles underground, this place was singularly bright.

At Su Mo’s feet was a square with hundreds of martial artists, while at the end of the square was a majestic lava river.

The lava river was about several hundred feet wide, with rolling crimson magma inside, which released huge bubbles. The bubbles burst continuously, spewing out blazing streams.

On the other side of the lava river, there was a crimson flame channel which led nowhere.

At the moment, hundreds of martial artists were standing by the lava river, sizing it up in dismay.

“Why don’t you go over there?” Su Mo strode over to the lava river and looked at it while posing the question to the martial artists.

“This is the Earth Lava, the hot air ejected from the bubbles is enough to kill all martial artists below the Martial King Realm, so it is very difficult to fly over. ” A young martial artist responded.

“Earth Lava?”

Su Mo nodded, then observed the crowd. He understood how they felt.

No wonder these people at the True Darkness Realm got stuck. Perhaps the experts of the Martial King Realm had entered the channel long ago.

However, Sumo did not care. His strength had already reached the Martial King Realm. How could he be stopped by the hot air of the Earth Lava?

Whoosh!

He immediately flew for the city ahead of him without a second thought.

“This kid is really tough!”

“His cultivation has not yet reached the Martial King Realm. Maybe he will die in the lava river!”

“He is so crazy!”

On seeing Su Mo flew toward the lava river, the group of martial artists kicked up a fuss and shook their heads in disapproval.

There were no fewer than 10 martial artists at the True Darkness Realm who died on the lava river and Su Mo was merely going to add to that number!

However, to their surprise, Su Mo strolled through the void, easily crossing the lava river.

The gushing heat from the lava river did not do any harm to Su Mo.

“My god, amazing!”

“It is so easy for him!”

“Never did I think that he is also a genius with extraordinary strength!”

When they saw Su Mo leaping over the lava river easily, they immediately screamed out loud, full of admiration.

Crossing the lava river meant he could get into the outer mansion of the Sky-burn Mansion and was likely to obtain treasures.

They were dying to go, but were powerless!

Su Mo ignored the crowd and sized up the flame channel in front of him after crossing the river.

Although the flame channel was composed of flames, Su Mo did not feel in danger. It was merely a channel for him.

Su Mo took some time to think, then strode into the flame channel and disappeared.

The passage was extremely long. Despite Su Mo walking quickly, he took 30 minutes to reach the end.

The moment Su Mo stepped out of the channel, he entered a somber space, which was completely the opposite of the outside world. There was no crimson fire and everything seemed quiet and peaceful.

There were several palaces and towers in front of him and they stretched further than the eye could see.

However, many buildings had collapsed into ruin.

Even though, there were also a large number of buildings that were intact.

Su Mo released his Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul and saw plenty of martial artists shuttling between buildings, apparently in search of treasures.

Meanwhile, he saw some of them fighting with each other over treasures as well.

“The relics of the Sky-burn Mansion Sect may be here!”

Su Mo smiled. He took his time with beginning his search and instead began to meditate.

He looking for the Dark Stone, which was a material of craftsmanship. They were most probably preserved in the Sect Treasury of the Sky-burn Mansion or places where the Craftsmanship Hall where there was craftmanship activity.

Therefore, his next priority was to search for these two places.

With his goal in mind, Su Mo flew to the buildings in front of him.

As long as it was a well-preserved building, Su Mo would check it carefully.

After wandering around for a moment, Su Mo frowned, for relatively well-preserved buildings had been basically plundered, let alone the Sect Treasury.

There might be some missing treasure in some buildings. Su Mo, however, was not searching for treasures but the Dark Stone.

“Ah!”

At that moment, there came a shrill scream.

The shriek lasted just for an instant before then stopping just as suddenly. It was evident that someone died.

“Hmm?”

On hearing those shrieks, Su Mo immediately realized that this place was dangerous.

Generally speaking, dangerous places were complicated, despite often containing great opportunities and great fortune.

Without any hesitation, Su Mo flew to the source of shrieks.
