Chapter 1165: The Same Purpose

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Time passed slowly and the warriors of the Netherworld Devil Sect waited calmly.

After a while, the “Founding Elder” in front slowly opened his eyes and a dark light flashed through them.’

“Greetings, sect master!”

“Greetings, sect master!”

“Greetings, father!”

In a flash, all of the Netherworld Devil Sect warriors took a knee and bowed toward this “Founding Elder”.

So this was not actually the Founding Elder of the Netherworld Devil Sect, instead, it was the Netherworld Devil Sect’s sect master, Wu Sen.

Warriors at the Martial Emperor Realm had already formed a true Fighting Soul. As long as the Fighting Soul was not destroyed, it could take over another’s body whenever it wished.

Clearly, this Founding Elder’s body had already been taken by Wu Sen.

As to whether Wu Sen had taken it by force or if the Founding Elder had given it voluntarily, it was impossible to know!

Although warriors below the Martial Emperor Realm also had a special method to take bodies, it was not complete.

For example, Wu Shan had once taken over Li Feng but Li Feng had not died. He had only temporarily taken over Li Feng’s body.

Only after Wu Shan had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm could he completely destroy the consciousness of Li Feng’s spirit and truly take him over.

“How is the investigation going?” A cold and icy voice rang out from Wu Sen’s mouth.

“Father, everything is now clear!” Wu Shan said with a palm-fist salute.

“Speak!”

“Yes!” Wu Shan nodded. He paused for a moment then said, “In the current Firmament World, the Firmament Palace is the Peerless Conqueror, all of the major factions have surrendered to it. In the Firmament Palace, Su Mo has built close relations to all the powerful factions. Their powers are completely combined!”

“What about Su Mo’s strength?” Wu Sen asked lightly. Faced with his own son, there was still no expression on his face.

Su Mo’s strength was what Wu Sen was most interested in. The power of the various factions did not even need to be considered.

“Not sure!” Wu Shan said and immediately shook his head. He could not find out Su Mo’s strength at all.

Because it had been many years since Su Mo had fought. No one knew what level his strength had reached!

When they searched for information, they did not dare to get too close to the Firmament Palace so naturally, they could not investigate the strength of Su Mo’s cultivation.

Hearing these words, Wu Sen frowned slightly. Not being sure of Su Mo’s strength was a troublesome matter.

“Sect master, it’s already been five years. Presumably, Su Mo has likely reached the Emperor-to-be Realm!”

A black-robed middle-aged man spoke out. This man was the Palace Master of the Yin-yang Palace, Yang Dingtian.

With the Firmament Palace as the Peerless Conqueror, the Yin-yang Palace and the Beitangs had nowhere left to retreat. They had all joined the Netherworld Devil Sect.

Their disciples were all hidden together.

“I think it’s very likely!”

“Given Su Mo’s talent, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to reach the Emperor-to-be Realm.”

“For Su Mo, rising to the Emperor-to-be Realm in five years is very normal!”

Once Yang Dingtian’s words fell, they immediately received the agreement of many warriors of the Netherworld Devil Sect.

Everyone knew of Su Mo’s talent so they all guessed the same.

As for why no one guessed that Su Mo had already reached the realm of the Martial Emperor that was because once someone broke into that realm, a sign would appear throughout the entire Firmament World.

However, there had been no sign these years so Su Mo could not have broken into the Martial Emperor Realm.

“I don’t think it’s possible!” At this time, a voice of disagreement rang out, immediately sinking the cave into silence.

Everyone turned to look at the person at the entrance with confusion in their eyes.

The person at the entrance was Huangfu Qing. Although Huangfu Qing had lost his cultivation, his status in the Netherworld Devil Sect was higher than ever.

Because Huangfu Qing had powerful physical strength that was comparable to a warrior in the Lv 5 or Lv 6 Martial Royal Realm.

“What do you mean, Huangfu Qing?” The Second Demon Elder asked.

Huangfu Qing looked solemn as he said, “As you all presumably know, Su Mo had once been under my sect, I have studied him very closely!”

“I don’t know what martial arts technique he cultivated so that his combat strength is so powerful but because of this, his cultivation has always needed a vast amount of resources! A hundred times more than the common person’s demands!”

“Recently, I specially checked and discovered that the resources Su Mo had taken from the various factions have almost cleaned them out thus, he doesn’t have enough resources to cultivate!”

“I can promise that he is, at most, at the Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm, most likely at the Lv 8!”

Huangfu Qing spoke and explained his analysis to all. His words were all logical and reasonable.

Everyone was surprised by what they had heard and most people agreed that his analysis was indeed logical.

After all, Huangfu Qing knew Su Mo better than anyone.

However, everyone felt so gloomy. Even if Su Mo was only at the Lv 8 Martial Royal Realm, it was already very terrifying.

After all, when he was at the Lv 4 Martial Royal Realm, Su Mo had already defeated Wu Sen who had been at the Martial Emperor Realm. How terrifying would be if Su Mo had reached the Lv 8 Martial Royal Ream!

All of them combined were probably not enough to stand against Su Mo in two strikes.

Wu Sen was silent, a sinister and cold light flashed through his eyes.

“Everyone, the trial testers of my clan will descend this year!” Wu Sen said after a long time.

Hearing these words, everyone was shocked and then expressions of delight appeared on each face.

Were they finally going to come?

Could they finally leave the Firmament World?

And walked toward that boundless space that tens of thousands of clans fought over!

All of the warriors of the Netherworld Devil Sect had the same goal that they wanted to follow Wu Sen away from the Firmament World.

Thus even though the Netherworld Devil Sect had fallen to such a state and had become a pathetic dog, they still was not willing to leave or abandon it.

It was precisely because of this reason that Yang Dingtian and Ping Hua from the Beitang would put down everything to help the Netherworld Devil Sect.

No one doubted Wu Sen’s words because Wu Sen was a half-sorcerer.

Wu Sen was a Trial Tester descendant and had a special connection to the Sorcerer tribe.

“Once my clan’s Trial Testers descend and lay waste to the Firmament Palace, we can all leave the Firmament World!” Wu Sen continued.

“Yes, sect master!” Everyone agreed in unison and excitement filled each person’s face. Once they left the Firmament World, they could better follow the martial arts. In the future, they would have lives that lasted thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

What Firmament Palace? What Firmament World? It had nothing to do with them!

Huangfu Qing’s gaze rose as if he could see through the thick rock wall, the endless sea, the millions of miles of void space to land on the Firmament Palace.

“Su Mo, you are unable to escape death in the end!” Huangfu Qing muttered in a low voice, a brilliant light shining from his eyes.

He had joined the Netherworld Devil Sect to the leave Firmament World. Once he left, the outside world was vast and he could be at ease.

The only regretful matter was that of his disciples, Tian Chen and An Nuan had been taken by Su Mo and he only had Hua Suiyu, Jun Wuxi, and Feng Shaoyu by his side.

Although he did not care much about the lives and deaths of these disciples, he had, after all, put effort into nurturing them. What a waste!
