Warrior’s Promise

After dealing with Zuoqiu Ting, Su Mo left the cave Qian Xunyue was in.

He walked up to the Sky-burn Tower and called for Sikong Yan once more.

Moments later, the tower’s door opened, revealing Sikong Yan who was wearing a long red robe.

“Sikong Yan, Where is the black flood dragon blood essence? How much is there?” Su Mo asked.

“A lot!” Sikong Yan waved his arm and dozens of white jade vases appeared before him.

These jade vases were all at waist-height and were larger than your regular water vats.

Su Mo could not help but be surprised when he saw such a large jade vase.

“I made these jade vases just for you to keep the blood essence!” Sikong Yan said. He was also a craftsman, so it was easy for him to make them.

“Many thanks!” Su Mo nodded and kept the jade vases.

“I’m going back in!” Sikong Yan did not continue the conversation with Su Mo. He turned around and walked into the Sky-burn Tower.

Sikong Yan stopped after a few steps and turned around. He said to Su Mo, “Oh, Su Mo, when can you gather all the descendants of the nine palaces? The puppets are all waiting!”

Su Mo sighed when he heard this. He replied, “I don’t have time lately. Let’s talk about this later!”

He had been busy trying to raise his cultivation strength and to save Hong Qingxuan. He didn’t have the time to look for descendants!

He would consider searching for them once he saved Hong Qingxuan!

Sikong Yan nodded and turned around, walking into the Sky-burn Tower. He had just wanted to remind Su Mo. He did not care whether Su Mo could find the descendants of the other palaces.

After that, Su Mo sat on the ground and began to devour the black flood dragon blood essence to cultivate his physical strength.

Su Mo’s physical strength was already at the Lv 8 Martial King Realm. It was already two levels higher than his cultivation state.

The dozens of vases of black flood dragon blood essence was sufficient to raise his physical strength to the Martial Royal Realm.

Su Mo gulped down the blood essence which stung as it traveled down his throat, burning him from within.

Using the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill, Su Mo absorbed the power of the blood essence immediately.

There was a golden glow, and the Dragonesque Elephant roared, shaking heaven and earth.

Su Mo’s physical strength grew once more.

Everything progressed well. Su Mo consumed two vases of blood essence and his physical strength entered the Lv 9 Martial King Realm.

“Let’s get this done in one shot and reach the Martial Royal Realm!” Su Mo gritted his teeth and started swallowing the blood essence once more.

Su Mo was not worried even though his physical strength was already three levels higher than his cultivation.

He had experienced his physical strength absorbing the power in his body once when his cultivation was very low.

His Dark Force was extremely strong now.Su Mo was not worried that his physical strength would absorb the Dark Force in his body even if his physical strength exceeded his cultivation by three or four levels.

Su Mo stopped consuming the blood essence with his mouth. Instead, he employed the Devouring Martial Soul and emptied the vases of essence.

Su Mo’s physical strength continued to surge infinitely. Sounds that resembled a dragon’s roaring emitted from within him. His entire body shook, as if every molecule of him contained a startling strength.

Su Mo devoured the vases of blood essence and before too long, he consumed all of them.

“It’s not enough!” Su Mo was beyond shocked. It had only taken two large vases of blood essence to raise his Lv 8 Martial King Realm to Lv 9.

However, he had consumed over ten vases of blood essence and yet, his physical strength had not reached the Martial Royal Realm!

“I hope it’s enough!”

Su Mo sighed and waved his arm, retrieving hundreds of small jade vases.

These small jade vases contained black flood dragon blood essence as well. They were his spoils from killing the black dragon clan last time and he had not used them all.

With that, Su Mo continued consuming the blood essence and raising his physical strength.

The glow around Su Mo grew even brighter. He seemed to have turned into a Golden-armored Ares, and his aura was terrifying.

Time trickled by, and about an hour later, Su Mo’s body underwent a startling change.

His palms started to grow, growing thick and large and very sharp nails started to grow.

Furthermore, his skin started to ripple, turning into scales, forming a gold scale armor.

In the past, the scales on Su Mo’s body were just a condensation of golden light on the surface of his skin and was not a true scale armor. However, the skin on his entire body had become a true scale armor now. It was as if they were dragon scales.

The scale armor enveloped Su Mo entirely from his limbs to his body and to his neck and face.

Su Mo turned into an extremely special existence in the blink of an eye.

His current appearance was very similar to the Combat Form of the flood dragon Crown Prince. However, there were still some slight differences.

Moments later, Su Mo consumed all of the blood essences and stopped cultivating.

“Dragonesque Elephant combat body!” Su Mo smiled when he saw his change. His physical strength had finally entered the Martial Royal Realm and he had finally gained the Dragonesque Elephant combat body. His powers had increased multifold.

However, Su Mo knew that even if he had managed to gain the combat body and though his physical strength had increased tremendously, his overall strength had not increased by much.

This was because his cultivation strength was too strong. His Dark Force was equivalent to that of an expert who was in the fifth level of the Martial Royal Realm. It was way higher than his physical strength.

As such, the rise in his physical strength was not able to boost his overall strength by much.

However, at least, it allowed his defense to rise greatly.

“There’s not much time left! I have to return to the Central Continent immediately after killing everyone in the Cold-blood Hall!”

Su Mo groaned for a moment and then immediately left the Divine Map and headed towards the Dark Domain.

As long as he made the best use of his time, he would be able to make it for the battle at the Jade Cloud Lake.

Su Mo rode on his sword through the void, rushing towards the Dark Domain.

The East Continent used to be vast and wide to Su Mo. It would take a long time for him to travel from the Blackdragon Domain to the Dark Domain.

However, now that he was riding the sword in haste, it took him only two days to reach the Dark Domain.

After arriving at the Dark Domain, Su Mo identified the correct direction and immediately headed for the Celestialspirit Sect.

Four hours later, Su Mo passed by a familiar area. It was the Devilish Land.

The Devilish Land was where he had received the Billion Demonic Sword.

However, the Devilish Land had changed drastically because the Demonic Sword had been taken.

It was no longer filled with a thick Devilish Qi. The air in the land was fresh beyond compare and it was as if peace had returned.

Su Mo sighed deeply when he passed through the Devilish Land. Then, he flew towards the Sky Devil City.

He held grudges against some people here. Since he was here, he might as well settle them!

His grudge was against Yin Tianchou and his father.

Su Mo’s relationship with Yin Tianchou was cordial. Yin even helped him out back then.

However, when the Billion Demonic Sword appeared, Yin Tianchou’s father, Yin Qingyuan had tried to kill him.

Of course, this wasn’t considered a huge grudge. Su Mo did not intend to kill Yin Qingyuan. He was just going to look for Yin Tianchou.
