Chapter 2552: Not Much Left
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Very soon, the old man came out of the treasure vault, carrying a black cloth bag the size of a teacup.
“These are two hundred and thirty heavenly treasures and one thousand three hundred and fifty elixirs!” the elder handed the cloth bag to Su Mo.
“Thank you so much, sir!” Su Mo said joyfully as he stretched a hand out to receive the bag.
Just then, something happened. Heng Chen snatched the bag away before the old man could even react.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Su Mo said. This man’s actions had gotten quite ridiculous.
If he thought the Chaotic Holy Court should not give Su Mo any treasure, he could take it up with the higher echelons. Directly snatching it away from it was just too much.
“Su Mo, you can’t take these treasures,” Heng Chen said coldly.
“Give me a reason!” Su Mo responded, equally as cold.
“You’re not a disciple of the Chaotic Ancient Mountain. Isn’t that reason enough?” Heng Chen replied coldly too. It was a joke if he thought he could take so many treasures with him.
As the disciples of the Chaotic Ancient Mountain, the amount of treasures they could take every year was limited. Su Mo had received more treasures in one go than he had gotten in thirty years. How could he not be mad?
“Give them back, or don’t blame me for what comes next!” Su Mo’s eyes flashed with a cold glimmer. If it was not because the man was a disciple there, he would not have tolerated it.
“Blame you? For what?” Heng Chen snickered as he looked Su Mo up and down. “Su Mo, you might have reached Sixth Grade, Middle Rank now, but you’re still nothing to me!”
Heng Chen was filled with disdain. Although Su Mo’s combat power was superb, right now they did not have the same level of training as they had in Shenkun Small World.
Currently, he was at Seventh Grade, High Rank, more than one grade higher than Su Mo.
“Don’t push it!” Su Mo suppressed his boiling anger as he spoke coldly.
“What are you going to do about it?”
Heng Chen had no fear as he took the cloth bag, looked at the old man and said, “Elder Yun, I’ll take these treasures to the Lord and tell him what’s really happened!”
“Right!” the old man nodded. Although Heng Chen’s actions were inappropriate, reporting the incident to the Lord for a decision to be made later was quite feasible.
He was not worried that Heng Chen could keep the treasures for himself, since Heng Chen had always governed himself with discipline, on top of being a favorable disciple.
After that, Heng Chen ignored Su Mo as he turned and walked out.
Watching him leave, Su Mo was filled with uncontrollable rage.
Heng Chen might have gone to see the Chaotic Lord, and the treasures would be returned to Su Mo eventually, but the man was simply too presumptuous!
Swoosh!
With a shift in motion, Su Mo crossed the distance instantly and stopped in front of Heng Chen.
“Leave those here!” Su Mo stared at the man coldly, his voice dropping low.
“Get lost!” Heng Chen did not care as he muttered coldly, raising a palm to Su Mo.
Rumble!
The void shook. Heng Chen’s palm, surrounded by Chaotic Power Source, slammed hard against Su Mo’s chest.
Su Mo retaliated. He stretched one palm to meet the man’s.
Suddenly, the two palms clashed together.
Boom!
There was a loud bang as the powerful impact of both palms shook the Ancient Chaotic Mountain.
Luckily, there was an invisible formation supporting the Chaotic Ancient Mountain, making the place almost impossible to be destroyed.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The two palms split up immediately upon contact. The powerful anti-seismic force caused the two to fall back many steps simultaneously.
“It’s that strong?” Heng Zhen stopped in his tracks and frowned. This Su Mo had actually managed to catch his hand without falling into the wind.
The old man and a few other disciples was surprised to see what had happened between them.
It was scary. This power was really unimaginable.
Su Mo looked extremely dignified. Because Heng Chen was of a higher Grade, his skill was obviously slightly better than that of He Lanzheng.
Perhaps Heng Chen’s talent was far inferior to Helan Shang’s, but because of the Chaotic Power and his higher training, his combat power had become so powerful.
“Leave them here!” Su Mo put on a cold expression. Even if the man was at Seventh Grade, High Rank, he still had nothing to fear.
“Su Mo, you are unreasonable! Do you really think that you, an outsider, can take whatever you want from the Chaotic Ancient Mountain?” Heng Chen exclaimed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Right then, many elders and disciples landed outside the Celestial Cave.
The shaking of the Chaotic Ancient Mountain had made everyone aware of the situation here. Many elders with Supreme Being titles, including Wei Tian Supreme Beings, came.
What’s going on here?” Wei Tian Supreme Being questioned them sternly as he approached Su Mo and Heng Chen.
“Elder Wei Tian, Su Mo wants to take away half of the treasures in the vault used to consolidate the foundation for training. What will be left for the other disciples?” Heng Chen explained hurriedly. The badge in Su Mo’s possession had been granted by Wei Tian Supreme Being, and that was why he had asked him.
“Heng Chen, are you questioning me?” Wei Tian Supreme Being said sternly.
“No, I dare not!” Heng Chen quickly bowed.
“That’s my intention, as well as the Lord’s. Su Mo can use any resources on this mountain!” Wei Tian Supreme Being said.
Heng Chen went silent when he heard Wei Tian Supreme Being say this. The other disciples also remained quiet.
It seemed the Lord and the elders were determined to help Su Mo at the expense of their disciples’ own supply of resources.
“Give it!” Su Mo approached Heng Chen and stretched an arm out, hinting to the man to hand over the cloth bag.
Against his will. Heng Chen could only surrender the cloth bag to him.
“Su Mo, the Lord has set up an array among the Purple Spirit. You are allowed to devour ten percent of it!” said Wei Tian Supreme Being.
“What?”
“Ten percent of the Purple Spirit!”
“How’s that possible?”
The disciples around the area could not believe what they had heard. Many of them even went red in the eyes.
The preciousness of the Purple Spirit spoke for itself. Not many were qualified to use it. Only a small number of those who took up the Chaos God Emperor’s authentic orthodox practice were eligible to access it.
And now, the Tribe had actually decided to set aside ten percent of the Purple Spirit for Su Mo. This was absolutely crazy!
Heng Chen was dumbfounded!
The emphasis on one tenth of the Purple Spirit left him stunned. Ten percent might not have seemed like a lot, but in fact it was a very large amount.
He had been practising for two hundred years on the Chaotic Ancient Mountain. The amount of Purple Spirit he had taken in was not even up to one percent of the supply.
If he could devour ten percent of it, his training would increase rapidly for sure. He might not be able to match Young Master Ling, but he would be very close.
A great amount of jealousy grew inside him. Heng Chen was not only jealous of Su Mo’s treatment, but also jealous that Su Mo had the ability to devour so much.
Su Mo was taken aback as well. Previously, Wei Tian Supreme Being had forbidden him from devouring the Purple Spirit, and now he said he could take ten percent. This surprise had come so suddenly.
He had just received a lot of treasures to consolidate his training, and very soon the Purple Spirit would be his. It was so unexpected!
“Thank you, sirs! Many thanks to the lord!” Su Mo bowed to the Wei Tian Supreme Being and other elders at the scene, and thanked the Chaotic Lord as well.
Since the Chaotic Tribe was willing to spare him the Purple Spirit, the decision must have gone through all the higher echelons before an agreement was reached, so he could not solely thank Wei Tian Supreme Being.
“We’ve given you our greatest support. It’d be best if you can attain the status of Supreme Being within a hundred years!” said Wei Tian Supreme Being.
“Within a hundred years?” Su Mo said, stunned.
“Yes, your time’s running short!”
Wei Tian Supreme Being sighed and continued, “It’s estimated that Di Yihun will reach the level of Advanced Supreme Being in less than a hundred years with the help of the three major Holy Courts. When that time comes, even I might be no match for him. And when he does get to that level, all forces on the Diety Plane may side with him. That’d be the end for Tuoba Qingyun and yourself!”
“Understood!” Su Mo took a deep breath. He did not have much time left!
