Chapter 1266: Rank 2 Martial Emperor Realm

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Guo Jian Qing, now slain, had everything sucked up by the Devouring Fighting Soul — his internal defeated Dark Force, Blood Qi, Fighting Soul, and all of his other powers.

Zhao Cheng was swallowed as a whole, and together the two warriors from the four peaks of the Martial Emperor Realm provided Su Mo with sufficient resources.

Previously, he had failed in his attack on the realm. One reason was because he had just broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm not too long ago. He did not have enough deposit, nor did he have a strong enough foundation.

The second reason was his lack of few resources, thus, the failure.

Now, the two warriors from the four peaks of the Martial Emperor Realm had become Su Mo’s resources. Naturally, he would want to attack the Rank 2 Martial Emperor Realm again.

Rumble!!

Inside Su Mo the Dark Force roared like a river and the Dark Force within the Fighting Soul constantly poured into his body.

The Dark Force was so powerful, it was too much for Su Mo’s mortal body to handle, and the channels in his body swelled in pain.

This was because his physical strength was too weak!

He had not cultivated his physical body in a long time and the main reason was that he did not have enough resources. The other reason was that his physical strength only had a very small increase in his power.

His Cultivation strength was too strong. Unless his physical strength was able to exceed the Cultivation Realm, it was of little use to his own power.

As such, Su Mo had not cultivated his body in a long time.

He had temporarily given up on cultivating his body. Although the icon of the Archean Dragon was strong, once it’s cultivation reached a maximum, it would be comparable to that of the Martial Honoured Realm.

Since Su Mo was not ready to cultivate the icon of the Archean Dragon, he tried to save resources.

If he was able to obtain even more powerful Physical Skills in the future, he would give it more thought.

Rumble!

Su Mo endured the pain within his body as he frantically tried to refine his skills. At least he was able to tolerate the pain, it was not so unbearable that he would damage his channels or body.

The five Divine Pills shook violently, as if they were about to unlock a higher rank. However, there was an invisible obstacle which ultimately restricted them from breaking through.

But Su Mo was in no hurry. The energy and Dark Force from Zhao Cheng and Guo Jian Qing’s bodies were powerful enough to support Su Mo’s attacks on the Realm.

Time passed by slowly.

Minutes turned into hours. Soon, a full ten hours had elapsed, yet Su Mo was still unable to break through.

The next morning, beads of sweat had formed on his forehead. After ten hours of continuous attacks on the Completion Realm, he was extremely drained.

Yet Su Mo’s excitement grew as the Completion Realm bottleneck began to loosen. His breakthrough was right before his eyes

Su Mo strengthened his attack on the Completion Realm, not stopping for a second.

Finally, after another hour, he jerked suddenly. A huge, majestic wave burst from his body and ascended into the sky, charging towards the clouds.

He had finally broken through.

Rank 2 Martial Emperor Realm!

Su Mo did not stop, he continued cultivating. Although he had been cultivating for eleven hours and expended a large amount of Dark Force and energy, he still had some left.

Just like that, another hour passed and Su Mo ended his cultivation.

He had already reached the mid-stage of the Rank 2 Martial Emperor Realm. He was not far away from the peak of the Rank.

Swoosh!

Su Mo opened his eyes and sighed heavily.

The murky air was like a sword, piercing through holes and able to shoot as far as a thousand feet.

“Rank 2 Emperor Martial Realm!” Su Mo’s face broke into a smile as he heaved a sigh of relief.

This breakthrough was forcefully rushed, who knew if it would affect the foundation!

Perhaps, in the future, it would be better to settle down more first. Although the speed of Su Mo’s cultivation may have been slower, at the end of the day when the conditions are right, success naturally follows and everything goes according to one’s wishes.

Su Mo lost focus for a while. The Devouring Fighting Soul shed brilliant rays of light in all directions and three items flew into the air.

They were namely a long golden sword, a black shield, and a grey Storage Ring

The long golden sword was naturally Guo Jian Qing’s weapon. As for the black shield and Storage Ring, they were treasures that belonged to Zhao Cheng.

There was nothing left of the two after being devoured by Su Mo’s Devouring Fighting Soul.

The only thing reason these items remained was because the long sword and shield were of high quality, and Zhao Cheng’s Storage Ring was specially made by a High Class warrior.

As for Guo Jian Qing’s Storage Ring, it vanished into nothingness after being wiped out by the Star Sword Formation.

Su Mo proceeded to check Zhao Cheng’s Storage Ring, which contained weapons, jade slips, clothes, as well as other miscellaneous things. He also discovered over 500 Lower Spiritual Crystals.

He did not carefully inspect all these items, and eventually kept the Storage Rings and long sword.

“Good treasure!” Su Mo’s eyes lit up as he gazed at the black shield. Although the shield was not an Honourable Weapon, it was considered the top grade of the Upper Imperial Weapons and had strong defensive powers.

Regardless of whether he would sell it or use it, it was still very valuable.

In an instant, Su Mo kept the shield and looked in the direction of the Shenwu Academy. He departed from the battlefield and rushed to where the starry sky is transmitted: Star Cloud City.

Although he had succeeded in killing Zhao Cheng and Guo Jian Qing, he knew that Tai Shixuan and You Tianhan would seek revenge and send people to kill him.

After returning from the Heavenly Star, he would definitely not let them off.

Two days later, and without uttering a word throughout the journey, Su Mo reached Star Cloud City.

The city was located on a piece of land at an extremely high altitude, close enough to the stars, hence the name.

It was a powerful and lively city, with a population of hundreds of millions people.

Su Mo entered Star Cloud City and, after a short while, managed to find a large hall along the street. “Cloud Top Transmission Hall” was written in large letters across the building doors.

This was one of the thirteen powerful sanctums of Shenwu Academy, the place which controlled the Cloud Top Holy door.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

As soon as Su Mo walked to the front of the Cloud Top Transmission Hall door, two figures flew out from the inside of the large hall. They were a man and a woman: Nie Gan and Han Ying, respectively.

“Brother Su!”

“Brother Su! It’s so great that you are alright!”

The two approached Su Mo and looked at him. They saw that he had sustained no injuries and their faces instantly lit up with happiness.

The pair had waited a long time for Su Mo and were beginning to grow worried and anxious. Now that he was back in one piece, they were naturally delighted.

“Ha, ha! I have made you guys wait quite a long time!” Su Mo responded with a smile.

“Don’t mention it, Brother Su. You risked your life for us, we have yet to thank you!” Han Ying said with a deep voice, sincerity written all over her pretty face.

“No need to thank me, we are friends. There is no need for friends to be so formal!” Su Mo replied, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, the two nodded. The three of them only knew each other for a short time, but they had weathered many difficult times together.

“Oh yes, Brother Su, how did you manage to escape from the two of them?” Nie Gan inquired, referring to attack by Zhao Cheng and Guo Jian Qing. From his point of view, as Su Mo was unscathed, he must have conquered the two perpetrators.

“I sent them to hell!” Su Mo chuckled and walked into the Cloud Top Transmission Hall.

Hell?

Upon hearing this, their hearts dropped and their face turned ashen.

Su Mo, they wondered, killing the two Class 4 Peak warriors of the Rank 2 Martial Emperor Realm?

Was this possible?

The two of them stared at Su Mo’s silhouette. Soon after that, their eyes lit up and they both heaved a sigh of relief.

They understood that Su Mo must have made a breakthrough into Rank 2 Martial Emperor Realm!

Nie Gan and Han Ying felt an overpowering surge of emotions and were shocked beyond words.

After such a short period of time, Su Mo had actually made a breakthrough in cultivation!

This was too fast!
