Chapter 1347: Reaping Benefits

Tch tch!

Like a long sharp sword, Su Mo burrowed his way down underground at lightning speed.

Hong dong dong!!

He could still vaguely make out the battle sounds from above and he knew that the group of them had begun battling with the enemy above.

Su Mo knew that he had a limited amount of time. Regardless of who won in the battle above, they would first check the Spiritual Stone mine.

Furthermore, with the mine under attack, they would definitely inform the Black Mountain Fort not far from here. Reinforcements would arrive quickly and so he had to rapidly finish up his business here.

Dark Force surged from his body and it sharply burrowed through the ground.

He had already circulated his Dark Force to the maximum, and he was as fast as he could be flying in the air.

Instantly, he had travelled a few kilometres, and a few moments later, he was more than 100 kilometres underground.

He could feel the dense Spiritual Qi surging up from the ground from here. Things all around him were circulating to the Spiritual Stones and this surprised Su Mo slightly.

Continuing to burrow underground.

200 kilometres!

300 kilometres!

500 kilometres!

800 kilometres!

Only once he was a full 1000 kilometres deep did Su No finally near the origin of the Spiritual Qi. What he saw surprised him.

Gazing out in front of him at the ground, he saw a large white dragon laying there.

This white dragon was comprised entirely of white mist and its body was a kilometre wide. With its majestic aura, it was very lively.

On the body of the white dragon, magnificent Spiritual Qi circulated from it as the Qi shot up above. This was the breath of the white dragon.

As the dragon breathed out, Spiritual Qi rolled out in waves as though it was a cloud of Qi that was very dense.

Su Mo was elated as his eyes shone brightly. Was this the dragon vein?

The Spiritual Qi that this dragon had was as much as the vast seas and was too grand to be put into words.

Not to mention capturing this dragon, if he directly devoured the dragon vein, would he be able to break through his cultivation rank? And maybe even a few ranks at that?

Of course, these were only his thoughts. If he actually devoured it, the likeliest possibility is that he would self destruct from the power.

The moment Su Mo moved closer to the dragon vein, it immediately opened its mystifying eyes and glared at Su Mo.

“Not good!” Su Mo’s heart jumped and without any hesitation, he activated his Devouring Fighting Soul.

The strong devouring power immediately spread out over the entire area, instantly surrounding the dragon vein.

Woosh!

The white dragon roared out as it felt the devouring power, a frantic look crossed its eyes.

“Devour!” Su Mo activated the Devouring Fighting Soul to its maximum and added the Devouring Ultimacy to try and capture the dragon vein.

Shoosh!

Then, with a wave of its tail, the dragon instantly ruptured the devouring power and rushed away into oblivion. Its speed was so fast, Su Mo’s eyes could barely catch up.

“This…!” Su Mo was instantly dumbfounded. The dragon vein had actually escaped. It was so fast, he could not even react.

A few moments later, he sighed and a bitter smile crossed his face. He had thought too highly of himself.

Even for a Martial Sage, it was hard to capture the dragon vein. How could he possibly capture it so easily!

This dragon vein was an earth wonder. It was created by Spiritual Qi with the Devouring Fighting Soul being its nemesis.

However, it was really too massive and the devouring power was too weak to contend against it.

Su Mo wasn’t overly disappointed even though he did not manage to capture the dragon vein.

Not daring to waste any more time, he turned and immediately flew back to the surface.

A few moments later, Su Mo was on the surface of the mine when he heard the cries of war from up above.

The battle outside was still carrying on. Su Mo did not rush to go out straight away but he used his willpower to check the scene outside.

It was a scene of destruction up above. The mountain range no longer existed and the mountains around were all completely torn apart.

Up in the sky, a few hundred people were battling each other. Wind and rain fell heavily as fresh blood littered the sky.

The group who attacked were men from the Blood Pupil Clan.

Blood Pupil Clan was one of the clan of the Star Chi Liang. They were miniature people and their height was only half that of normal people.

Furthermore, the eyes of these clans men were bloodshot. Not only were they terrifying, it could be used for attacks.

There weren’t many clans men involved in this attack, probably less than 200. However, they were strong and were mostly Martial Emperors and were defeating tons of disciples and troops.

If it weren’t for the Shen Wu Academy disciples, the black alpha troops would have been wiped out easily.

The leader of the tribesmen was a Martial Honourable who was engaged in a violent battle with Ren Yun Du up in the air.

Although Ren Yun Du was only a Rank 9 Marital Emperor, his power was definitely not to be looked down upon. as expected of a Shen Wu Academy talent, he held two ward sabres in his hand and fought strongly against the Martial Honourable.

“That is weird. Why hasn’t the Black Mountain Fort sent reinforcements even after so long?” Su Mo frowned and was suspicious.

Right now there was a scene of chaos ensuing before him, with blood raining down everywhere, wasn’t it a perfect opportunity for him to reap some benefits?

This large Spiritual Stone mine, if he didn’t take it for himself now, when else would he?

Once he thought of this, Su Mo frantically used his hands to retrieve the Spiritual Stones and tear apart tons and tons of Spiritual Stones.

Every time he reached out, he retrieved a massive rock that had over a million High Grade Spiritual Stones.

Without much hesitation, he speedily retrieved a lot of Spiritual Stones. In a mere span of a few breaths, the entire underground area was empty.

Spiritual Stone ores within a radius of 200 hundred metres of Su Mo were all stored in the jade bracelet.

Since he wasn’t gentle as he grabbed the Spiritual Stones, he broke apart many of them and lost quite a number. However, this was incomparable to the innumerable Spiritual Stones he had collected.

However, since the Spiritual Stone ore was constructed from the breath of the dragon vein, Spiritual Stones formed on them.

Su Mo would be able to continue to obtain numerous Spiritual Stones if he continued collecting. However, he had a limited amount of time and could only take the core of the Spiritual Stone ores while abandoning the rest.

With this loot, Su Mo turned and dug his way through a nearby rock before going to the surface.

Once he was up, he immediately activated the ‘Invisible Fighting Soul’, the shapeless Fighting Soul, to hide himself as he rushed up into the sky.

As soon as he used the ‘Invisible Fighting Soul’, he seemed to have disappeared into the air and entered empty space.

Even when he passed by, nothing changed in the air.

Up above.

“Die!”

“Die!”

“Die!”

Shouts and cries filed the air, the men of Blood Pupil Clan, Shen Wu Academy and black alpha troops were all engaged in a fierce battle.

Explosions happened all around as strong booms rose up.

Ah ah ah!!

Shrieks filled the skies as black alpha troops continued to die helplessly.

These troops were mostly Martial Royals, even if they joined forces, they were of no match to the Martial Emperors of the Blood Pupil Clan. Hence, they were easily defeated.

By now, the number of black alpha troops left was less than a hundred.
