Warrior's Promise

The natal blood essence contained a huge amount of vitality.

Therefore, Su Mo could not hold on after crafting a Spiritual Sword.

Su Mo sighed, "I have to take a rest for a while!"

Then, among the countless storage rings, he searched for some Spiritual Herbs, such as ginseng, that could supply vitality and then swallowed them.

Having rested for about two hours, Su Mo started crafting the second Natal Spiritual Sword.

This time was much smoother than before since he already had the experience. Before long, the second one was successfully crafted.

With the craftsmanship Legacy from Ou Lianzi, Su Mo would not fail easily if he crafted carefully enough.

The third one was successfully done!

The fourth one was successfully done!

The fifth one was successfully done!

Su Mo had to take a break for more than two hours after crafting each Natal Spiritual Sword. Even so, his body condition went worse since every drop of natal blood essence had greatly consumed his vitality.

After crafting the seventh Natal Spiritual Sword, he completely collapsed and fell to the ground.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Su Mo breathed heavily like a wind box.

Then, he fell asleep right on the ground and woke up after a day and night.

After swallowing some treasures that could supply his vitality, he resumed crafting.

After Six hours, the two Natal Spiritual Swords left were done.

Until now, the nine Natal Spiritual Swords were all successfully crafted.

Su Mo was greatly relieved and then left the Divine Map.

In the following period of time, Su Mo lived an easy life, such as consolidating his cultivation, restoring his vitality, and occasionally guiding the Firmament Sect members to cultivate.

Su Moalso used his Devouring Martial Soul to help improving the cultivation of Su Hong, Qing Pingzi, Yue Qun, and some other friends.

Two weeks soon passed just like this.

His injuries were basically recovered.

His withered essence, qi, and spirit also had recovered slightly. His strength had recovered to roughly 70% of his full strength.

The remaining 30% had to be recovered naturally in more than a month!

In the courtyard, Su Mo stood straight on the lake.

"Go!"

Su Mo suddenly pointed at the lake with his finger, and nine rows of sharp radiance dashed out of his body with a white flash of light.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The nine Spiritual Swords hovered over the lake and looked extremely alert. Then, they formed into a small formation of swords.

Under Su Mo's control, the sword formation moved in unity and then slashed to the void.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

With an infinite, surging sharpness, the space was torn apart like a piece of cloth.

"Amazing!" Su Mo's fighting spirit heightened. Three Phantom Avatar appeared out of his body and charged toward Ouyang Xiao.

Su Mo had a beaming face upon seeing this. The Natal Spiritual Swords alone could deal such a damage without using his Dark Force. This was quite extraordinary.

Besides, he had not practiced the sword formation much yet. Its power was yet to be improved.

The sword formation he just played was called the Nine-death Sword Formation, which could easily multiply his combat strength.

There were dozens of ancient sword formations recorded in the Natal Swordcraft Techniques, and each one of them could wield an earth-shattering power.

The most simple sword formation in the book was called the "Three-talent Sword Formation". There was also one called the "Seven-kill Sword Formation" that was formed with seven Spiritual Swords. The one formed with nine Spiritual Swords was the "Nine-death Sword Formation".

There was even a massive sword formation formed with ten thousand Spiritual Swords.

This sword formation was beyond common sense. If Su Mo could wield this one, he would be invincible in this world.

Apparently, this was daydreaming. He now had nine Spiritual Swords, and the Nine-death Sword Formation was the best for him.

This Nine-death Sword Formation was the key to defeat Shangguan Hao.

"This is not enough. I need more cultivation."

Su Mo murmured. His cultivation level was too low compared to Shangguan Hao's.

The thing was, that Shangguan Hao was not a normal martial artist but a monstrous talent. His combat strength must be horrible.

Moreover, Su Mo had not witnessed Shangguan Hao's actual combat strength.

Only by increasing some cultivation could he have the confidence to fight Shangguan Hao.

Fortunately, there were still 90 days left before the 8th of October, which were enough to increase a handsome amount of cultivation.

His cultivation had been consolidated through these days, and he now could absolutely try to break through to Lv 2 Martial King Realm.

Su Mo sat in his courtyard and then waved out a large number of Spiritual Stones in front of him.

From the Divine Martial Country were these stones looted by Commander Yue. There were Upper, Medium, and even Lower Spiritual Stones mixed up together.

However, the number was decent. If counting them into Upper Spiritual Stones, it should be 100 billion.

Su Mo took out about one-tenth of them that almost stuffed the entire courtyard, while some of the stones even slipped into the lake.

"Devour!"

Su Mo activated his Devouring Martial Soul and its power immediately shrouded the courtyard.

He did not fully exert his Devouring Martial Soul. Otherwise, with his current strength, the entire Qingyuan City would be devoured.

"Rumble!"

Countless Spiritual Stones turned into dense Spiritual Qi that filled the air.

He closed his eyes and started sucking the Spiritual Qi.

The Spiritual Qi rushed into his body and then was refined into Dark Force that rushed into his five divine elixirs.

The divine elixirs in five elements glowed as their Dark Force grew gradually.

About an hour later, the infinite Spiritual Qi was all absorbed by Su Mo.

"It doesn't seem to work very well!" Su Mo opened his eyes which flashed a sense of helplessness.

Having consumed ten billion Upper Spiritual Stones, his cultivation only rose from Early Lv 1 Martial King Realm to Middle Lv 1 Martial King Realm.

Even if he consumed all of the 100 billion Spiritual Stones, he still might not reach Lv 2 Martial King Realm.

"Phew!"

Su Mo sighed and was ready to leave the Qingyuan City.

He needed so much Spiritual Qi to upgrade, and Spiritual Stones were no longer enough.

He had to go out there and devour some demonic beasts or martial artists.

He did not kill innocent people, so the best solution was to find a mountain range that was abundant with demonic beasts.

"I should go!"

His eyes glittered with keen light. Time was short, he should head for the Emperor Xuan Palace now.

On his journey toward there, he could find some chances to upgrade.
