Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo was startled when he suddenly heard someone calling his name, but he already entered the giant tower before he could even react.

He found himself in a red, flaming world.

The ground was as red as molten metal and there were fire balls floating in the air. In the distance, many volcanoes were erupting and spewing lava everywhere.

The temperature here was high enough to liquefy metal. Su Mo felt like he had entered a furnace.

He covered his entire body with Body-protection Dark Force without any hesitation in order to withstand the terrifying heat.

He looked over at Sikong Yan and Wenren Tiandu who were just a short distance away, and they had activated their Body-protection Dark Force too.

“That voice…Was that Qian Xunyue?” Su Mo was shocked that she had followed him all the way here!

Su Mo did not know what to do. Perhaps it was time to face her and clarify everything.

He needed to resolve this issue eventually!

Before Su Mo could even think of a solution, dozens of fire balls floating in the air suddenly turned into human-like figures and charged toward them.

Although they appeared human-like, they were very ugly because they did not have any facial features.

Su Mo’s eyes opened wide at the sight of this. “Is this another formation?”

At this moment, he heard Sikong Yan yelling with surprise.

“Fire Spirits, they are Fire Spirits!” Sikong Yan was agape and shocked to the core by what he saw.

Fire Spirits were the product of extreme fire elemental power that had developed their own spiritual wisdom. They were naturally occurring spiritual bodies.

They were in fact very similar to his Fire Spiritual Build, which was formed due to his extreme talent of fire property.

Fire Spirit was an extremely rare treasure for a martial artist like Sikong Yan who focused solely on martial arts techniques of fire property.

If he could absorb these Fire Spirits, his cultivation would soar and break through continuously within a short period of time.

Sikong Yan was trembling with excitement because this was the best training ground he could ever dream of!

However, his happiness was short-lived because the Fire Spirits were already attacking them.

Su Mo was surrounded by four Fire Spirits, each brandishing a fire war saber and slashed at him.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four rays of fire saber Qi containing vast fire elemental power as vast as a river cascaded toward Su Mo with a destructive momentum.

The four Fire Spirits were able to channel the unlimited amount of fire elemental power in their surroundings at their will.

The reinforcement from the fire elemental power in the surroundings made their attacks much more powerful.

“They…They’re too strong!”

Su Mo turned grim when he felt a sense of defenselessness against their attacks.

They were almost as strong as Sang Tian, with their individual strength varying between Lv 6 and Lv 7 Martial King Realm!

Su Mo was overwhelmed, but he could not find a way to get out of this place.

Swoosh!

He evaded the attacks instead of facing them head-on and quickly flew away.

Sikong Yan and Wenren Tiandu ran away too, since they were even weaken than Su Mo.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The trio exerted their maximum speed and went deeper into this region.

However, the Fire Spirits did not let them off. They were following closely behind.

As soon as Su Mo ran away, Qian Xunyue arrived.

She immediately spotted Su Mo, who was running away, and quickly gave chase.

She was rapidly bridging the distance between them because she was so much faster.

Naturally, she attracted the attention of the Fire Spirits. Half of them turned around and charged at her.

Su Mo, Sikong Yan, and Wenren Tiandu were escaping as fast as they could, but they were even slower than the Fire Spirits. They were like cats on a hot tin roof as the Fire Spirits got closer to them.

Su Mo also saw Qian Xunyue, who was being attacked by the Fire Spirits.

However, he was not worried about her because she was an expert of the Martial Royal Realm. These Fire Spirits were insufficient of causing her any problems.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

They flew as fast as lighting and soon reached the end of this burning world.

Then, they discovered a huge flaming door floating in the void.

“That may be the exit! Hurry up!” Sikong Yan was the first to charge through the door.

Su Mo and Wenren Tiandu also followed behind him without much consideration and charged through the flaming door.

Buzz~~

As the scenery changed, Su Mo realised that they had exited the burning world. However, they found themselves in a worse situation than before.

The trio turned pale and agape when they finally became aware of their surroundings.

It was another crimson world, but the ‘ground’ beneath them was replaced by boiling lava. The horrendous fire elemental power was several times stronger than that in the previous world.

The intense heat was burning through their Body-protection Dark Force.

Even Sikong Yan, who was born with the Fire Spiritual Build, felt like his body was melting.

“What should we do?” Sikong Yan asked dazedly. His excitement from seeing the Fire Spirits was completely replaced by fear now.

Both Su Mo and Wenren Tiandu did not utter a single word. They were equally grim about the helpless situation they were in.

“Who dares to trespass the emperor’s territory!” Just then, they heard a mighty voice that shook the entire region.

Su Mo and company were horrified when they saw an enormous human taking shape from the endless sea of lava below.

The enormous human-like figure was several kilometers long, almost as if a giant as lying in the lava.

“This…!”

They were dumbfounded by what they saw. This enormous figure instilled a major sense of crisis in their minds.

“What is that?”

“Is that a Fire Spirit?”

The trio was stunned with disbelief. If this enormous figure was actually a Fire Spirit, its power would be unimaginable!

“Those that dare to disturb my rest shall perish!” Its mighty voice was cold and thunderous.

In the next moment, an endless amount of lava surged into the air like a river that was flowing backward.

The lava formed a huge hand that blocked the sky and grabbed toward Su Mo and company.
