Warrior's Promise

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Su Mo did not stop cultivating after he had made a breakthrough. Instead, he was ready to reach the peak of Lv 2 Martial King Realm.

If he could make it, the breakthrough of Lv 3 Martial King Realm would be just around the corner as long as he took some time to lay a solid foundation and stead his realm.

Rustle!

Su Mo took out all the Demonic Cores and demonic elixirs taken from the beasts he had killed before and he then began to devour them as much as he could.

Because of his 49 Spiritual Spirals, Su Mo required considerable quantities of the Spiritual Qi for the improvement of his cultivation, especially after he had broken into the Martial King Realm.

All the Demonic Cores and Demonic Elixirs were consumed completely in a few minutes, and Su Mo’s cultivation was pushed into just the Middle Lv 2 Martial King Realm.

The devouring continued after Su Mo took out dozens of divine elixirs.

He had taken out all the divine elixirs, except for that Martial Royal Realm divine elixir. There were more than 40 divine elixirs, which, in his opinion, were sufficient to assist him in reaching into the peak of Lv 2 Martial King Realm.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

As the divine elixirs were crushed, large quantities of mighty Dark Force, which was thick with acrid Corpse Qi that made people sick escaped.

Su Mo just kept refining Dark Force despite the abominable environment.

It took Su Mo 10 hours to refine all the Dark Force of these elixirs.

At the same time, his cultivation had reached the peak of Lv 2 Martial King Realm.

Finally, the ravenous man ended his feeding and did not try to break through Lv 3 Martial King Realm. It would hardly be possible for him to succeed as a new martial artist at the peak of Lv 2 Martial King Realm.

Sitting quietly on the floor, Su Mo thought about his next plan.

The eighth day of the 10th lunar month was coming. The plan to rescue Li Feng’s body taken by Wu Shan must be put aside and he needed to be fully prepared for the next challenge.

There was more or less a month’s time. During this period, if he could lay a solid foundation for his cultivation, it was possible to reach Lv 3 Martial King Realm.

Moreover, he still had a Martial Royal Realm divine elixir, which should be enough for him to break the bottleneck.

Furthermore, he had the Spiritual Stones and Spiritual elixirs inside the storage rings he had taken from those he killed from the Corpse Hall. He had sufficient resources for his cultivation.

Thinking over for a moment, Su Mo decided to go nowhere and just cultivate in the Divine Map.

During the next month’s time or so, he had to not only upgrade his cultivation to Lv 3 Martial King Realm but also be more proficient in the Nine-death Sword Formation.

There were several variants in Nine-death Sword Formation and he could only use two of the simplest ones at present.

After he had cleared his mind, Su Mo began to consolidate the foundation of his cultivation and practice the Nine-death Sword Formation at the same time.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Nine Spiritual Swords danced in the sky. Sometimes they all moved in a line and sometimes they formed a circle with their ends pointing to each other. The changes were unpredictable.

Time flew by and 10 days quickly passed.

Within the 10 days, Su Mo had already cultivated the Nine-death Sword Formation very well. Therefore, he ended the practice and kept his nine Natal Spiritual Swords into his consciousness ocean for maintenance.

When another 15 days had passed, Su Mo felt that the present foundation of his cultivation was solid enough.

“Time to break through!”

After nearly a month’s meditation, Su Mo looked calm and his mood had become as peaceful as still water.

Next, he took out the Martial Royal Realm divine elixir and released his Devouring Martial Soul. He was going to break the bottleneck of Lv 3 Martial King Realm.

Swoosh!

He threw the divine elixir up into the sky and ran his Devouring Martial Soul at once.

Influenced by the devouring power, the divine elixir immediately buzzed and vibrated, from which large quantities of Dark Force rapidly poured out and gathered around Su Mo.

The quantity of Dark Force contained in that Martial Royal Realm divine elixir was as considerable as that of the water of a river.

Su Mo tried his best to turn it into his own Dark Force.

His five divine elixirs in five properties vibrated violently with surging aura as they absorbed the Dark Force.

As the Dark Force of the divine elixir was quickly extracted because of the extremely strong devouring power, the divine elixir soon exploded.

The explosion of that Martial Royal Realm divine elixir was extremely powerful. Su Mo failed to completely control it despite the fact that he had strengthened the space in order to restrict the explosion. The destructive power destroyed the earth and the mountain peaks, and even the courtyard was flattened.

Despite this, Su Mo sat still as a monk, breaking his realm bottleneck.

Rumble!

There was a storm in Su Mo’s elixir field where the fierce Dark Force was surging.

As time went on, the realm bottleneck became wider and wider. He was only one foot away from breaking through to the Lv 3 Martial King Realm.

However, there was not much Dark Force from the Martial Royal Realm divine elixir left.

“Even a Martial Royal Realm divine elixir is not enough!” Su Mo looked resigned. The consumption was really scary.

Fortunately, he still had a great many Spiritual Stones and Spiritual Herbs.

There were lots of Spiritual Stones and Spiritual Herbs in the storage rings of those martial artists of Corpse Hall.

Clatter!

As Su Mo waved, a large number of Spiritual Stones appeared in front of him.

There were more than 50 billion of them, most of which were Upper Spiritual Stones. There were nearly 10 million Supreme Stones.

“Devour!” Su Mo shouted loudly. He tried his best to run the devouring power and a large amount of Spiritual Qi began to surge.

The Spiritual Qi of tens of billion of Spiritual Stones was several times thicker than the fog in the Mist Mountains.

Su Mo had been completely enveloped by the spiritual mist and could hardly be seen.

Only a giant funnel formed by the endless spiritual mist could be seen. The Spiritual Qi rapidly flowed down.

With the support of so much Spiritual Qi, the process of breaking the realm bottleneck was accelerated.

Countless Spiritual Qi flooded into his body and there was no time for him to refine all of them.

Rumble!

The five divine elixirs inside Su Mo quivered violently for almost two hours before they suddenly paused, giving off a bright light. Next, a powerful Martial King sense pervaded the Divine Map.

He made it! It was the Lv 3 Martial King Realm!

As there was still plenty of Spiritual Qi and he wanted to make full use of them, Su Mo continued cultivating.

Almost another two hours later, when all the Spiritual Qi had been devoured, Su Mo’s cultivation reached the Middle Lv 3 Martial King Realm.

Phew!

He opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of murky Qi, which rushed out for several meters.

Su Mo sat silent and still as hecalculated the days. There were only 12 days left and it was time to go to Emperor Xuan Palace.

He was going to arrive ahead of time so that he could grasp the situation to be well prepared for the coming fight.

However, he needed to improve his physical strength before leaving.

At present, his physical strength would not greatly strengthen his combat strength, but it would provide him solid defense to withstand more powerful forces.

Su Mo’s current physical strength was at Lv 4 Martial King Realm and could be improved from Lv 4 to Lv 6.

He took out a small jade vase containing the blood essence of the Dragonesque Elephant.

There were four drops of blood essence in the jade vase and Su Mo swallowed all of them.

As soon as the blood essence entered his stomach, there was a sudden energy explosion and Su Mo’s body vibrated. He ran the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill at once.

Roar!

Su Mo’s body shone with a dazzling golden light and a giant virtual Archean Dragonesque Elephant roared.

According to the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill, if one’s physical strength had reached the Martial Royal Realm, the virtual Dragonesque Elephant would change the nature of his physical body and convert it into the combat body of Dragonesque Elephant. However, Su Mo still had a long way to go.

He took out all the remaining Spiritual Herbs. There were about hundreds of them.

These Spiritual Herbs were all obtained from those experts of Corpse Hall.

The blood essence of the Dragonesque Elephant, together with the efficacy of the Spiritual Herbs, would be better able to enhance his physical strength.

That was a smooth improvement without any bottlenecks.

More than two hours later, everything returned to peace as Su Mo stopped cultivating.

He had successfully upgraded his physical strength to Lv 6 Martial King Realm.

Clenching his fists and feeling the explosive power in his body, Su Mo was brimming with confidence.

His strength had changed dramatically in just over a month.

His cultivation had been improved from Lv 1 Martial King Realm to Lv 3 Martial King Realm and his physical strength from Lv 4 Martial King Realm to Lv 6 Martial King Realm.

His abilities had soared in a short time.

“Leave for Emperor Xuan Palace!”

Taking a deep breath, Su Mo then left Divine Map.
