Warrior’s Promise

In a spacious room, Su Mo and his father, Su Hong, stood face to face.

Su Mo wanted to say goodbye before leaving.

“Father, I’m leaving!”

Su Mo said solemnly as he handed a storage ring to his father. Facing the unknown future, Su Mo knew that he might not be able to come back.

He gave all of the 90 billion Spiritual Stones to Su Hong because he did not need them anymore.

Su Hong looked sad because he knew what his son was going to do.

Su Hong remembered the five-year-appointment more clearly than anyone else. He was there when Shangguan Hao took Xi’er away.

Recently, the news about the wedding and the duel spread throughout the Central Continent.

Su Hong knew that his son was going to fulfill the promise.

“Mo’er, why are you so single-minded?!”

Su Hong shook his head as his brow furrowed. “With your talent, you will definitely be the strongest in this world. You don’t have to go there at all!”

In his view, there was no point to fight Shangguan Hao.

He was not aware of his son’s current strength. But he thought that it was impossible to defeat Shangguan Hao because that guy was so eminent.

Moreover, to challenge Shangguan Hao also meant challenging the whole Emperor Xuan Palace. This was like an egg trying to crush a stone.

The best option was to wait for another few years because it would be much easier to defeat Shangguan Hao by then.

Although Xi’er would be someone’s wife, there were so many good women in this world and Su Mo did not have to stick to Xi’er.

“Father, everyone should have something to stick to!”

Su Mo sighed and continued, “If one always makes compromises and forgets why he started, what’s the difference between him and a loser?”

Su Hong was stupified after hearing the words and did not know what to say.

Su Mo’s words were so philosophical that he could not refute them.

“Father, I’m leaving. If I don’t come back within three months, dismiss the Firmament Sect!” Su Mo solemnly bowed to his father after saying so.

He said no more and skyrocketed, vanishing in the skyline.

Su Hong looked blankly at his son’s back.

The Firmament Sect indeed had no reason to exist without Su Mo.

Because the Firmament Sect would lose its soul without Su Mo. The several Hall Chief’s strength was not enough to lead the whole sect.

Su Mo flew straight to the south because the Emperor Xuan Palace was in the south.

There were still 90 days left, while Su Mo could get to the Emperor Xuan Palace in only five days with his current cultivation.

Therefore, he had plenty of time to cultivate.

After flying for two days, Su Mo noticed a vast mountain range.

Like a giant dragon lying on the ground, this mountain range stretched to the horizon.

There were continuous beasts roaring, and the strong demonic Qi even darkened the clouds above.

“Swish!”

In a flash, Su Mo rushed into the mountains.

“Buzz~~”

He then released his Devouring Martial Soul and exerted the devouring power to an extreme.

His forceful devouring power instantly spread out and covered 500,000 meters around.

Then, Su Mo strode forth in the mountain range.

A horrible scene followed him—every creature in a radius of 500,000 meters around him exploded without exception.

An incredible amount of blood that contained demonic power turned into streams, rushing to Su Mo.

Various Spiritual Herbs and everything that contained Spiritual Qi were not spared. All of them exploded and their Spiritual Qi rushed to Su Mo.

Su Mo slightly slowed down his pace as he walked and sucked.

A huge amount of blood Qi, Spiritual Qi, and demonic power was sucked into his body and then refined while his cultivation grew gradually.

However, he was just at the periphery of this mountain range. The density of the demonic beast was low, and there were not many devourable things.

As he strode into the forest deep, there were more and more demonic beasts and they became stronger.

These demonic beasts were unable to resist Su Mo’s devouring power and exploded one after another.

There was a huge ball of blood took shape outside his body and grew larger and larger as it rolled forward and crushed countless trees and thistles and thorns.

This scene looked extremely horrible. If looking down from above, there was as if a huge sanguine demonic beast moving forth slowly.

Six hours later, Su Mo reached Peak Lv 1 Martial Royal Realm and continued to break through to Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm.

“Rumble!”

A huge amount of blood Qi and demonic power were refined and then sent into the five divine elixirs which were violently vibrating.

Su Mo sucked more and more amount of blood Qi and demonic power because he was breaking through.

Before long, the blood ball in front of him was consumed over, and he kept moving.

“Roar!”

A King demonic beast appeared hundreds of kilometers ahead of him.

It was a 300-meter-long black panther. When it spotted Su Mo, it roared and hurriedly ran away.

“Where are you going?”

Su Mo thundered and immediately followed the panther.

A King demonic beast was a good supply to his cultivation.

“Swish!”

The panther ran like a black lightning that tore apart the void, moving incredibly fast.

“So fast!”

Su Mo was shocked that this panther moved so quickly that he could not catch it at all.

Su Mo used his Mind as a Natal Spiritual Sword appeared under his feet.

“Whoosh!”

Riding on the Natal Spiritual Sword, he moved several times faster than before and followed the black panther at a lightning speed.

He was rapidly closing in on the panther.

This was a Lv 1 King demonic beast. It looked terrified upon seeing Su Mo closing in.

Because it felt its blood and demonic power were being out of control as Su Mo closed in.

Then, a black light glowed on the panther as it turned into a middle-aged man with a narrow face and a black robe.

He snarled madly, “Kid, we don’t even know each other. Why are you hunting me down?”

The King demonic beasts were able to shift forms. The black panther turned into a human when it realized that there was no escape for him.

“There is no reason!”

Su Mo looked cold as he pointed at the middle-aged man with his finger as another Spiritual Sword appeared and thrust toward the man in a white flash.
