Su Mo heard many people ridiculing him. However, he did not care.
Taking a deep breath, he picked himself up and strode forward.
Bang!
As he stepped out, he could clearly feel his heartbeat increasing.
However, this did not affect him as Su Mo continued to move forward, not stopping.
Step! Step! Step!
As he progressed, Su Mo’s heartbeat raced even more. When he had advanced more than 20 steps, his heartbeat had already increased to a frightening pace, as if it were the constant drumming of a battlefield drum.
Whoo!
Su Mo took a deep breath and temporarily stopped moving forward. He had to slow down, otherwise, he was afraid that his heart would jump right out of his chest.
Not far away, the powerful Geniuses of the Super Forces felt relieved upon seeing Su Mo stopping after only taking 20 steps.
This was no better than the others, only taking over 20 steps in the beginning. After completing half the journey, it would be difficult to move forward.
Furthermore, as Su Mo was the latest to arrive, it was impossible for him to catch up and he was basically of no threat to them.
Immediately, everyone stopped paying attention to Su Mo and they went forward mindlessly to catch up with those ahead.
Only by walking in front would one be able to get the treasures first. Those who were behind stood no chance.
Su Mo held his breath and focused. After about three breaths, his heartbeat returned to normal and he continued to move forward.
Just like that, for every 20 over steps that he took, he stopped once and continued again.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Su Mo moved forward for another 30 miles. He was still about 70 miles away from the centre.
Others were far ahead of him. Leng Xie and Bei Jing were both less than 40 miles away from the fruit tree in the centre.
Sky Wolf, Yi Wei, Yun You You and the others were 40 miles away from the fruit tree.
As for those who were weaker, they were about 50 miles away.
The Sky Treasures that were scattered outside of the area had already been taken by others previously. When Su Mo walked past, he would not encounter any treasures.
Su Mo was not in a hurry. Although he had arrived late, he was faster than the people in front and would definitely gradually close the distance.
After walking for a consecutive 30 miles, Su Mo’s heartbeat had reached four times its usual speed.
Not just moving forward, even when he was stationary, his heart rate was still four times as fast.
However, with his physique, four times had not much impact on his body.
“It seems as if there is some kind of pattern?” Su Mo’s eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself. After walking for so long, he had only managed to get a little grasp of it.
He could feel that there was some kind of mysterious, invisible Dark Force present that was igniting his heartbeat.
The closer the central fruit tree was, the more violent his heartbeat was. In addition, if he were to advance too quickly, his heart would beat intensely and uncontrollably.
“How strange, could it be the Ancient Demon’s Heart?” Su Mo thought to himself. Since it was related to his heartbeat, naturally, he would associate it with the Ancient Demon’s Heart.
“I have to get to the centre as fast as possible!”
Su Mo took in a deep breath. If the Ancient Demon’s Heart were to be taken away by Leng Xie or Bei Jing, this would spell trouble.
In fact, he had thought of directly using his Devouring Fighting Soul to devour all the Sky Treasures.
However, considering that there were so many masters here, he temporarily put the idea away.
Ah!
Just as Su Mo was thinking, a shrill scream suddenly rang out. It was incomparably sad and shrill.
He hurriedly looked up and saw that 20 miles in front of him, the chest of a young man had suddenly exploded. Even his entire body had exploded into pieces as his flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Rip!
Seeing this, Su Mo suddenly took in a deep breath of cold air. This place was really dangerous and this person’s heartbeat must have beat too quickly and been detonated.
Moreover, it had been completely degraded and even his Fighting Soul had not escaped.
Others were not as surprised to see this as it had happened to many people before Su Mo arrived.
“Good-for-nothing!” Seeing this, Leng Xie could not help but sneer. This person was 50 miles away from the central fruit tree, yet he was unable to hang on. He actually still wanted to obtain the treasures?
Leng Xie turned to look at Bei Jing on the other side and frowned. Bei Jing’s speed was no slower than his, yet he was unable to shake him off.
“Bei Jing, how about we split the nine Blood Heart Fruits?” Leng Xie said coldly. He did not care for other Sky Treasures and only wanted to get the Blood Heart Fruits of the central Blood Heart fruit tree.
Although he wanted to have the nine Blood Heart Fruits for himself, he knew that it was slightly impossible. After all, Bei Jing was powerful and no weaker than him.
Bei Jing was his only competitor.
“How do we split?”
Bei Jing asked quietly. He was clad in a purple robe and had a tall, strong build, his wide face calm.
“I’ll get seven, you get two!” Leng Xie said quietly.
Hearing this, Bei Jing sneered and shook his head. “Leng Xie, aren’t you being too greedy? You actually want seven out of nine Blood Heart Fruits?”
“I’m giving you face by giving you two already!” Leng Xie said, full of himself. Afterwards, he added, “Moreover, I’m not taking all the seven for myself. Yun You You is here too, surely I should give her two as well?”
Bei Jing frowned. Indeed, as Yun You You was the disciple of Grand Elder Jin Yang, she could not return empty-handed.
“I’ll get three, you get six. How about that?” Bei Jing said quietly after a moment of silence. This was the minimum he would ask for. If it weren’t for the fact that Leng Xie was a disciple of the clan leader, he would not have agreed to such an arrangement.
“You actually still want three? Don’t you think you’re being too greedy?” Leng Xie’s face darkened upon hearing this. Bei Jing actually wanted to bargain with him. He simply did not know his limits.
The faces of others changed as they heard the conversation between Leng Xie and Bei Jing. Both of them actually wanted to split the Blood Heart Fruits. Were both of them treating the others as if they were non-existent?
Leng Xie said that Bei Jing was being greedy. However, in the view of the crowd, it was evident that Leng Xie was greedier. He wanted to possess more than half of the Blood Heart Fruits on his own.
“Blood Heart Fruit?”
Su Mo had also heard their conversation and knew the name of the heart-shaped blood-colored fruit on the central fruit tree.
This fruit could possibly be related to the Ancient Demon’s Heart. He definitely could not let Leng Xie and Bei Jing possess them on their own, otherwise, he would not be able to complete the mission of Myriad World Mountain.
Bei Jing shook his head upon hearing Leng Xie. “I want three. If you do not agree, then we will fight for it based on our own abilities!”
“Alright, I won’t let you get any!”
Leng Xie sneered. He was already considered to be giving in to Bei Jing by offering him two Blood Heart Fruits. Bei Jing was actually pushing his luck in attempting to get three Blood Heart Fruits. How could he agree to it?
After speaking, Leng Xie paid no further attention to Bei Jing and took another step.
Boom!
As he took a step, a muffled sound came from Leng Xie’s chest, like a sledgehammer smashing his insides, causing his breathing rate to immediately increase.
As one got closer and closer to the centre, no matter his strength, he would feel an immense amount of pressure.
