Su Mo, carrying the Spirit-slayer Sword, flew across the ancient city.
He slew another two martial artists of Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm in an instant, which accelerated his Genuine Vitality to almost a fifth.
However, what puzzled Su Mo was that even though he had been in seclusion for a few days, there were fewer people in the ancient city.
“Where did everyone go?”
Su Mo frowned slightly, thinking that due to the Ethereal Territory only opening up a few days ago, they couldn’t leave at this time.
Immediately, Su Mo rushed to the center of the ancient city by pushing his body to the maximum.
After an hour of flying across the city, Su Mo saw a large number of buildings. He had finally arrived near the center of the massive ancient city.
The buildings appeared to be palace-style but were infinitely more numerous than any other palace. It covered an area of more than ten miles which was similar to a giant beast lying on the ground.
While in the center stood a giant tower that was a kilometer in height.
Su Mo’s eyes brightened upon seeing the tower. The giant tower must have been somewhat important as its impressive height was also guarded by some large buildings. If he had to guess, it was very possible that there were extremely important treasures in the tower.
Swoosh!
Without any hesitation, he quickly flew to this huge building with the fastest speed possible. He approached the building a moment later.
There were currently tens of thousands of people gathered at one position of the supersize building. Su Mo decided to fly there at once.
Upon getting to the front of the group, Su Mo found that everyone was gathered in front of a square entrance, which was dim and very hard to see inside of.
Meanwhile, there was a lot of blood and mince at its entrance.
After having glanced around, Su Mo surprisingly found that most of the people there were in the Spiritual Martial Realm. None of them were martial artists of the True Spirit Realm.
“Why don’t you enter? Is it dangerous?” Su Mo asked the short youth beside him who happened to be at the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm.
“It is the attack matrix at the entrance that kept us off. Without reaching the True Spirit Realm Cultivation, any artist would die as soon as he enters,” the short youth shook his head and said.
Whoosh!
The youth watched as Su Mo flew into the entrance after the words had barely gotten out of his mouth.
“Hey! Do you wanna die?” The youth was shocked and shouted to Su Mo. However, before he could even finish his sentence, he saw Su Mo smash the powerful attack of the matrix with just one swift attack, and stride into the deep tunnel.
“Geez, he was such a tough guy!” The youth’s eyes popped with amazement.
The moment Su Mo had rushed in, a ray flashed unexpectedly with an illusory long saber that condensed by the formation was heading toward his head away. The power of the saber could roughly compare to that of a martial artist at Peak Lv 1 True Spirit Realm.
Su Mo chopped it up with his sword, looked around, and walked into the dark.
A stone hallway appeared at the entrance that was entirely dark without any light in sight, but Su Mo and others on a similar Level could see clearly. It was as if it was daytime even in the darkness.
So even though it was entirely dark here, it didn’t have too much of an effect on him.
Su Mo had kept walking down the hallway for another 100 meters and found that the road split into two ahead. One was left and the other was right and Su Mo casually chose one and went ahead.
Later on, Su Mo would meet the same kind of split every hundred meters. It felt like he was going through a maze within the building.
While Su Mo was walking, he had tried to attack the wall several times but failed, discovering a formation involved.
Then, a stone room appeared. Su Mo walked in and found nothing except for a few dead corpses.
“It’s too late! All the treasures have been taken!” Su Mo sighed and pressed on.
While walking through a branch road, Su Mo suddenly felt the power of a fist that intended to hit the back of his head.
“Die!” Su Mo stabbed back without looking.
Poof!
The sword pierced a youth’s neck whose eyes widen in shock. Finally, he slowly fell down.
“With such little strength, how dare you kill others and rob their treasures?” Su Mo shook his head silently. “The martial artist was only at Lv 1 True Spirit Realm, whose combat strength was not strong either. I could say that he had the weakest strength among all entrants.”
With that kind of strength, killing and robing would only speed up his death.
When Su Mo activated his Devouring Martial Spirit, it devoured all the blood essence, Genuine Vitality, and Martial Soul.
And Su Mo refined the youth’s Genuine Vitality into his own Spiritual Spiral. Now, its Spiritual Liquid had completely reached one-fifth of Genuine Vitality.
Su Mo continued to walk and after a bit, he heard the sounds of fierce fighting ahead of him. Su Mo followed the sounds.
There were three martial artists fighting fiercely against one person in the front of a path. The three youths were of the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm.
The three youths were strong in terms of combat strength and two of them had reached the Peak of the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm; however, they were still weaker than the lone martial artist as he was able to beat them.
The lone martial artist in a red long robe turned out to be Jin Yang, a core disciple of the Scorching Sun Sect as well as one of the Four Talents of Skymoon Country.
Jin Yang’s combat strength was extremely strong, and his cultivation was more than the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm because he was stronger than an ordinary martial artist at the Lv 4.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jin Yang held a red war saber and swept its fire into the sky. The saber radiance was so strong that all the walls within their formations in the hallway were cut and obtained deep scars.
“Jin Yang, you are a bully!” The taller youth roared.
“Hand me the Medium Lv 3 Saber and I can spare you guys!” Jin Yang sneered.
But the attack didn’t stop. The saber momentum became stronger as its saber radiance chopped toward them from all directions.
The taller youth raged, “We are the disciples of 1000-spirit Sect. Our great Senior Sister Ji Xuehan is the 89th best expert on the List of Top 100 Talents. Even if Leng Yunfeng and Xin Wuming encounter her, they must withdraw as well. What’s more, she is not far away from here now and we have already contacted her. Once she comes, you are gonna be dead.”
The taller youth lost his temper. As soon as they had received the Medium Lv 3 Saber in the stone chamber, Jin Yang had started chasing them.
“Ji Xuehan? I would like to compete with her!” Jin Yang was not afraid at all. Besides, he was determined to get the Medium Lv 3 Saber. The weapons here were all post-archean treasures. One at Medium Lv 3 of the post-archean was almost equivalent to a modern one at Upper Lv 3. How could he let it go?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The crimson saber radiance was conquering everything with overbearing force. One youth had been slain within a second.
Whiz! Whiz!
Since the three combined could not win Jin Yang and with one of their number just died, the remaining pair completely lost their confidence and quickly ran away.
“Haha! Where are you going!” Jin Yang laughed. He glanced at the back hallway, turned, and quickly chased after them.
Since they had left, Su Mo emerged from the corner of the hallway.
Jin Yang discovered Su Mo, but since he was busy chasing the pair and chose to ignore him.
“Jin Yang’s combat strength is so strong.”
Su Mo was astonished as he recalled that Jin Yang was defeated by Duan Jingtian last year. This only showed how strong Duan Jingtian was.
Last year, Duan Jingtian was at the Lv 2 True Spirit Realm. After a full year had passed, who knew what realm he was at.
Su Mo quickly moved to the corpses and urged forth his Devouring Martial Spirit.
The dead youth was at the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm and his Genuine Vitality was also far thicker than that of a martial artist of the Lv 1 or Lv 2 True Spirit Realm.
The massive amount of Genuine Vitality was slowly devoured by Su Mo. He was overjoyed as he found that the Genuine Vitality alone was able to help him reach the True Spirit Realm.
Rumble!
Genuine Vitality seemed to be boiling within the Nine Spiritual Spirals and the Spiritual Liquid was quickly converted into Genuine Vitality.
After another moment, the youth’s Genuine Vitality was definitely devoured.
Currently, six of the Nine Spiritual Spirals in Su Mo had been converted. All of those were filled with mighty Genuine Vitality, without any genuine Qi.
Meanwhile, the last three Spiritual Spirals were 90% converted.
Su Mo’s eyes lit up again. He was so close to the True Spirit Realm.
Once he converted all the genuine Qi in the Spiritual Spirals into Genuine Vitality, he could reach the True Spirit Realm.
However, there was a small amount of traction in the Spirals. Once that had been cleared away by finishing the conversion, Su Mo could officially enter the True Spirit Realm.
