Chapter 348: Lv 5 True Spirit Realm

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Su Mo took the purple-robed young man’s storage ring and the Mighty Flaming Bull’s Demonic Core.

Su Mo considered Demonic Core a treasure because they were the Source of Demonic Force, and he could devour them and obtain a large amount of demonic power from them.

After inspecting the storage ring, Su Mo smiled.

It contained over 20 sprigs of Lv 3 Spiritual Herbs, two of which were Medium Lv 3 Spiritual Herbs.

There were eight scrolls and two sets of gauntlets that were Medium Lv 3.

There were also at least three million Lower Spiritual Stones, worth a fortune!

Standing out from the other Spiritual Stones was a small pile of stones that shone much brighter and held thousands of times more Spiritual Qi than the Lower Spiritual Stones.

“They’re Medium Spiritual Stones!”

Su Mo’s eyes lit up. These stones were obviously not Lower Spiritual Stones, but more precious Medium Spiritual Stones.

He was instantly overjoyed. One Medium Spiritual Stone was equivalent to 1,000 Lower Spiritual Stones. There were at least 2,000 Medium Spiritual Stones, which was equivalent to two million Lower ones.

With all these Spiritual Stones and Spiritual Herbs, he was ready to break into Lv 5 True Spirit Realm.

He left to find a place to cultivate in seclusion.

During his seclusion, Su Mo needed to break into Lv 5 True Spirit Realm and then replenish his Nirvana Sword Qi.

All nine of his Spiritual Spirals were completely depleted of Nirvana Sword Qi and desperately needed to be refilled.

Firmament Divine Realm held geniuses from all over East Continent, most of whom were almost as powerful as Ao Wushuang. If he did not increase his strength, he would stand no chance against these top geniuses.

Although he had the advantage of the Devouring Martial Soul, it would not be able to affect someone who was far more powerful than he was.

Soon, Su Mo saw a cluster of hills and swiftly sped over.

He dug a simple cave in a hill and began to cultivate in seclusion.

First, he took out the 110 Demonic Cores he obtained when hunting.

Five of them belonged to the ancient demonic beasts he had just killed, and the other 105 he had hunted in the Devilcloud Mountains of Topsun Country before attending Jia Yuanji’s banquet.

These 105 Demonic Cores were fairly weak, mostly at Class 2 and 3 of Lv 3, but they still contained a large amount of demonic power.

Although the Demonic Cores contained a lot of demonic power, the demonic Qi was too dense and not suited for breaking into a new realm. Therefore, Su Mo would use them to bring his cultivation to the limit of Lv 4 True Spirit Realm and use the Spiritual Stones and Herbs to break into Lv 5.

He began using his Devouring Martial Soul to devour the Demonic Cores.

Su Mo’s body absorbed the strong demonic power, stripped away all of its demonic Qi, cultivating the remainder into Genuine Vitality and storing it into the Spiritual Spirals.

Time trickled by slowly.

After two hours, Su Mo had devoured more than half of the Demonic Cores, and his cultivation had reached Peak Lv 4 True Spirit Realm.

After six hours, all the Demonic Cores had been devoured, and Su Mo’s Genuine Vitality was only an inch away from Lv 5 True Spirit Realm.

WHOOSH!

With a wave of his hand, Su Mo took out all of his Spiritual Stones and Herbs, including the 2,000 Medium Spiritual Stones.

Judging from his experience, these Spiritual Stones were not enough to break into Lv 5, but the 20 sprigs of Lv 3 Spiritual Herbs would be enough to carry him over.

These Lv 3 Spiritual Herbs were almost as powerful as those millions of Spiritual Stones.

Su Mo took a deep breath and shouted, “Break!”

The Spiritual Stones exploded in unison and released a thick spiritual mist. Su Mo’s Devouring Martial Soul furiously sucked in all of the Spiritual Qi, along with that of the Spiritual Herbs.

Su Mo’s blood was boiling and continuously took in Spiritual Qi.

He needed so much Spiritual Qi because all nine of his Spiritual Spirals had to break through before he could level up.

Time trickled by slowly.

Su Mo sat as still as a monk, his body giving off a continuous humming sound.

After a while, the realm bottleneck was close to popping open, when suddenly all of the Spiritual Qi had been absorbed.

“Damn it, I was so close!”

Su Mo was furious. He had reached the verge of breakthrough, but all his Spiritual Qi had been used up.

Although his Devouring Martial Soul was Rank 4 Earth Class and could absorb Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth very quickly, it was not enough to even make a dent.

Without any more Spiritual Qi not only would Su Mo have failed at leveling up, but also all the Spiritual Stones and Herbs he used would be a waste, as he would have to start all over again.

“What should I do?” Su Mo thought anxiously.

He had no more Spiritual Stones, Spiritual Herbs, or Demonic Cores left.

“That’s right! Duan Jingtian!” He suddenly thought.

Duan Jingtian had a storage pouch on him when he died, which had to contain some Spiritual Stones.

SWISH!

With a wave of his hand, Duan Jingtian’s mangled corpse appeared in front of Su Mo. He did not have a storage ring on his hand, but he did have a storage pouch.

Inside were quite a few Spiritual Stones, Spiritual Herbs, and scrolls.

There were over 700,000 Lower Spiritual Stones and dozens of Spiritual Herbs.

Instead of counting them, Su Mo immediately took them all out and began devouring furiously.

After 15 minutes, Su Mo finally broke through the bottleneck.

All the Spiritual Qi within miles of the cave flooded toward him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The nine Spiritual Spirals shook violently and filled with Genuine Vitality.

After a while, everything grew calm again.

“I’ve finally reached Lv 5 True Spirit Realm!” Su Mo sighed in relief and murmured, “I wonder how powerful the geniuses from Dark Domain, Thunder Domain, Blackdragon Domain, Cloud Domain, and other domains are. I should be just as powerful as they are now!”

There were 108 domains in East Continent; Dark Domain, Thunder Domain, Cloud Domain, and Blackdragon Domain were the four largest ones, taking up almost half of East Continent.

Dark Domain was the strongest of the four and was regarded as the center of the East Continent.

A few dozen domains such as Dayan Domain, Yuanwu Domain, Heavenly Star Domain, and Snow Domain were not as powerful as the top four, but still far stronger than Hong Domain.

Su Mo’s eyes sparkled. Now that he had reached Lv 5 True Spirit Realm, he would feel confident even against the Top 100 Talents of those powerful and large domains.

After a short while, he calmed his turbulent thoughts and looked at Duan Jingtian’s corpse.

“During the Top-100-talent Competition, Duan Jingtian actually awoke the giant demonic beast egg in my storage ring! How strange!”

That was also why Su Mo had called Duan Jingtian’s corpse.

He thought for a while and then took out the beast egg out of his storage ring.
