Chapter 1169: Arrival

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

In just a dozen days, the Dragon King of the East Sea, the Empress of the North Sea, Zhan Kong, and the other dozen warriors who were willing to fight once again returned to the Firmament Palace, each bringing with them a few experts.

And the sects and clans they belonged to either completely disbanded or were making low-key movements.

In any case, everyone was prepared to go out and was also prepared for failure.

Su Mo was cultivating every day. Even though he did not have enough resources, he depended on Devouring Martial Soul to absorb Spiritual Qi and his speed of cultivation was still 10 times that of other warriors.

Time passed, one month after another, half a year went by in an instant. Su Mo’s cultivation had reached the peak Lv 8 Martial Royal Realm and it was difficult to make any more progress.

Without a vast ocean of resources, it was impossible for him to break through the bottleneck to reach the Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm.

During this time, Su Mo used Devouring Martial Soul a number of times to help Sikong Yan, Qing Ya, and others to raise their cultivations to the Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm, surpassing his own cultivation.

Although there were not many resources in the Firmament Palace, Sikong Yan and the other’s cultivation used very few resources. The Firmament Palace did not lack for so little resource.

Su Mo was quite pleased with Sikong Yan and the other’s strength. Their combat strengths were very powerful, any one of them could instakill an Emperor-to-be.

Because these people had obtained the Legacies of the nine palaces and all were the Emperor Legacies, they were incredibly powerful. Their combat strength was far above the Emperors-to-be such as the Empress of the North Sea and Zhan Kong.

Sikong Yan and the others also helped Su Mo raise the power of the Five Elements a number of times and increased his strength. His five Upper Imperial cultivation skills had also been raised to the sixth level.

The Imperial Upper cultivation skills were also separated into nine realms but after Su Mo reached the sixth level, he could not go further.

Because it needed to accumulate enough inner power for it to work. He had leveled up too quickly. Although he had been constantly imposing the elemental power, its effectiveness was still very low.

Raising the five cultivation skills to the sixth level had allowed Su Mo’s Dark Forces to grow even stronger.

At the moment, even he was not sure what level his strength had reached.

He had long become invincible and he had no one to use as a reference.

...

On this day, at a mountain peak three thousand meters tall and not far from the Firmament Palace.

Su Mo sat cross-legged on the peak like an ancient rock, without moving an inch.

In the air above his head, 28 Natal Spiritual Swords formed a massive millstone.

The millstone spun quickly and sent out countless streaks of sword radiance, illuminating the world. The boundless sharpness could be clearly felt even thousands of kilometers away.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the sword radiance exploded and 28 Natal Spiritual Swords moved as one and immediately sliced ferociously toward a mountain peak hundreds of kilometers away.

In an instant, 28 streaks of sword Qi formed a powerful hurricane. With the strength to destroy everything, it struck against the tall mountain.

Boom!

After an explosion, the sky was filled with smoke. Under this strike, the mountain peak completely disappeared.

Su Mo saw this and silently nodded his head. This attack was called the “Stars Swordstorm”, and could be considered as a very powerful attack of the 28 constellation sword formations.

Just then, he had not invested all of his strength into the sword formation, he had just tried it casually but he was still very pleased with the power of the sword formation.

He had already practiced this constellation sword formation until it was relatively pure. Even though it was not perfect, it was almost there.

After many years of gentle raising, the Natal Spiritual Sword’s own power was far beyond when it had first been made.

Whoosh!

Su Mo’s thought flickered and the 28 Natal Spiritual Swords formed into a line and was connected by a powerful Qi force. Shooting through the air, it was like an illusion.

Whoosh!

The ear-piercing explosion did not stop until it reached his ears and in the blink of an eye, the Spiritual Sword had returned to Su Mo.

While the hundreds of mountains had all been pierced through by the Spiritual sword, its speed was incredible.

Boom!

At this moment, strange things happened. A deep noise came from the southern horizon, it was like countless bombs exploding in the depths of void space.

The sky darkened, the sun stopped shinning, and a wild wind rose. It blew sharply like the sound of a ghost’s mournful cry.

“Hm?” Su Mo saw this and a light immediately flashed through his eyes. His perceptivity was very strong and he clearly sensed the void space in south shaking as if something was striking it heavily.

Thud, thud, thud!

At this moment, a sound cracked through the air and a dozen figures quickly flew to land behind Su Mo.

They were the experts of the Firmament Palace, the masters of the nine palaces, Di Shi, Hai Mingjiang, Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian, Dragon King of the East Sea, and other Emperor-to-be experts.

“Palace Master, the Trial Testers are about to arrive!” Hai Mingjiang said in trembling voice. A deep worry appearing in his eyes.

Everyone was just like him. The major calamity was before them and everyone was worried.

Although they were all prepared to fail, they still felt apprehensive.

Right now, they could only pin their hopes in Su Mo. They were not sure what level Su Mo’s strength had reached.

But, beyond doubt, Su Mo was their backbone and their hope.

“Have they come?” Su Moheard what was said and his eyes exploded with light, like sharp sword radiances, piercing 30 meters of air in front of him.

“Palace Master, this is the outerworld creating a spatial channel to the Firmament World. In an hour at the most, the Trial Testers will descend in the South Continent!” The Xuan Sect Master, Jiu Chubei, said.

“Return to the palace!”

Su Mo nodded and gave the order, immediately returning to the Firmament Palace.

After returning to the Firmament Palace, Su Mo immediately leaped into action and gathered together all of the millions of disciples and elders.

Then he took all of the people below the Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm into the Divine Map.

These disciples and elders’ cultivation were not sufficient, so it was not beneficial to leave them outside.

Very quickly, the entire Firmament Palace became empty.

There were less than 100 people left, except Su Mo and the masters of the nine palaces including Sikong Yan.

These 100 people were the peak power of the Firmament Palace.

In the White Jade Square near the main gate.

“Elders! Goodbye!”

Su Mo gazed at the nine protector puppets in front of him and a deep reluctance appeared in his eyes.

He could not wait for the Trial Testers in the Firmament Palace. He was prepared to lead the experts away from the Firmament Palace and wait for an opportunity.

Regardless of success or failure, he would not come back. If he succeeded, he would leave the Firmament World and if failed, it was death.

Thus, the Firmament Palace would once again sink into the void to avoid destruction.

The nine protector puppets could not leave the Firmament Palace, so they had to separate from Su Mo.

“Palace Master, be careful!”

“Palace Master, if you can leave, avenge the Firmament World! Avenge the Firmament Palace!”

“Palace Master, I hope there will be a day when we can meet again.”

“...”

The nine protector puppets all spoke with a reluctance appeared in his eyes. They did not know if Su Mo would succeed but they could not help him.

“I will, if I can escape with my life, I will become a nightmare for the Sorcerer tribe!” Su Mo nodded solemnly. Shortly after, he handed the Holy Saint’s token to Gold One.

Whether he succeeded or not, the Firmament Palace could choose another descendant and rise again in the future.

Then Sikong Yan and the others all gave their farewells to the puppets they belonged to.

In the end, Su Mo and others saw personally that the Firmament Palace once again activated the Void-shifting Formation and disappeared in the Firmament World.

“Go, go to the South Continent!” Shortly after, Su Mo led the experts to the South Continent.
