Chapter 1556: Escape

“There must be a lot of Ancient Demon bodies inside this mountain!”

Su Mo looked at the black-colored mountain in the distance as his eyes flashed brightly. The layer of Ghost Qi around the mountain was so dense, how could there be any shortage of Ancient Demon bodies?

Perhaps an Ancient Demon’s heart might even be in the mountain.

Shoosh!

Su Mo took off like a bolt of lightning towards the origin of the roars. The roaring sounds definitely belonged to some demonic creatures and this was his chance to escape.

Ghost Qi circulated around the mountain and the vast layer of black haze seemed terrifying.

There were many disciples of the different superpowers at the mountain. From afar, Su Mo could see many disciples shuffling back and forth on the mountain.

Some disciples were also teaming up to kill demonic creatures and the battle was highly intense.

The huge mountain was so large it was hard to tell how many miles wide it was. Many mountain peaks were on the mountain range.

A strong, dense Ghost Qi circulated around every mountain peak.

“It seems that there is an Ancient Demon Body under every mountain peak!” Su Mo’s eyes glowed brightly as he wondered to himself.

The Ancient Demons Cemetery was a large world by itself. Numerous Ancient Demon Bodies could be buried or crushed under the mountain peaks.

Although these Ancient Demon Bodies were only a portion of the actual corpse of an Ancient Demon, they were still huge as a result of the massive size of the corpse.

Roar~~

Right at that moment, a deafening roar resounded through a one kilometer radius.

Su Mo raised his gaze and saw a large demonic creature standing on the mountain peak and howling towards the sky.

This demonic creature was about ten feet long. With a body as black as ink, it was like a giant ape.

Scales lined the entire body of the demonic creature, reflecting a sinister black light. Its eyes were fierce and razor sharp teeth hung from its mouth.

“A good chance!”

A flash passed through Su Mo’s eyes as he looked at the demonic creature. The demonic creature seemed to be as strong as Li Hentian and it could delay Li Hentian for a while.

Shoosh

Su Mo did not slow down as his body flew forward like a sharp sword towards the demonic creature on the mountain peak.

Roar!

The demonic creature also saw Su Mo approaching it from the corner of its eyes. It immediately roared in aggression as it pounced towards Su Mo.

“You are thinking of using this puny demonic creature to stop me?”

Li Hentian scoffed as soon as he saw Su Mo’s actions. He wasn’t dumb and he knew exactly what Su Mo was planning to do.

However, in the next instant, Li Hentian’s face took a drastic turn. Su Mo had suddenly disappeared into thin air.

The demonic creature was also visibly shocked, but in the next moment, it pounced towards Li Hentian behind.

“Where do you think you are going!”

Li Hentian’s spiritual senses swept through the air and he immediately found Su Mo’s location. Su Mo was hiding in an Empty Space not far away and he was running off in another direction.

Without hesitation, Li Hentian whipped around and continued to chase Su Mo.

However, the demonic creature did not let Li Hentian off. In a second, it attacked Li Hentian’s side.

Roar!

The demonic creature roared fiercely as it struck out with its sharp claws. Sharp Claw Radiance shot out a kilometer wide towards Li Hentian’s head.

“Damn it!”

Li Hentian yelled out loud. With a wave of his hand, the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda emerged.

Baam baam baam!

The Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda expanded once again as seven-colored light shot out brilliantly from it. It immediately destroyed the Claw Radiance from the demonic creature.

Then, the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda crushed directly onto the demonic creature’s head.

Roar roar roar!!!

The demonic creature roared out continuously as its claws ferociously attacked. A multitude of Claw Radiance streaks emerged and tried to break the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda above it.

However, no matter how strong the demonic creature was, it was unable to break an Upper Sacred Weapon Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda. All of its Claw Radiance attacks dispersed into nothing in front of the pagoda.

In the mere span of a few breaths, the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda smashed into the demonic creature’s head.

Then, the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda disappeared. Similarly, the demonic creature was reduced to ashes.

The massive demonic creature was simply no match to Li Hentian, and it was instantly killed.

However, the moment Li Hentian retrieved the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda, he realised that Su Mo had already disappeared.

“Shit!” Li Hentian’s face fell completely. Although he did not slow down at all, he was blocked by the demonic creature for a tiny breath.

In this small instant, Su Mo had already disappeared without a trace.

“Damn it!” Li Hentian cursed. His body flashed repeatedly as he scoured the mountain and tried to find Su Mo’s location .

However, even after searching for a while, Li Hentian could not find Su Mo. He had completely lost Su Mo.

“Argh!”

Li Hentian was furious. In a moment of rage, he used the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda and struck it heavily against the mountain.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, the mountain shook violently, as did the nine heavens as explosions sounded unstoppably.

The great mountain appeared to have become a large spider’s web, full of cracks.

If it wasn’t for the stability of the space of the Ancient Demons Cemetery and the mountain being surrounded by Ghost Qi, the mountain would have crumbled.

Only one strike by the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda would be needed to destroy the mountain.

…

Woosh woosh~~

In a peaceful mountain range, the air suddenly started to waver. However, there did not appear to be a single soul.

Su Mo had arrived at the mountain range. He had relied on the Invisible Fighting Soul, along with the demonic creature’s distraction of Li Hentian, to successfully escape.

“Li Hentian, once I break through, you will definitely get what you deserve!” Su Mo muttered to himself. If he didn’t kill Li Hentian, he would not be at ease in the Ancient Demons Cemetery. He wouldn’t have time to find the Ancient Demon’s heart either.

Su Mo found a secret path in the mountain and burrowed his way into the earth, a kilometer deep.

Then, Su Mo entered the Bangle Space. He wanted to avoid alerting Li Hentian if he caused a disturbance when he broke through to the next realm.

Su Mo sat down cross-legged in the Bangle Space. A large mountain of Middle Spiritual Crystals was placed in front of him.

He had a large number of Spiritual Crystals with him. He had obtained over 20 000 Middle Spiritual Crystals in the auction at Ancient Tong City preciously in addition to the storage ring on Yang Tianwei that had close to 10 000 Middle Spiritual Crystals.

Hence, resources weren’t a problem to him now. Instead, cultivation rank was his next major obstacle.

Luckily, Su Mo had devoured a large number of Ghost Qi previously and he felt the bottleneck to the next realm loosening.

Right now, he had to break through to the next realm in one shot with everything he had.

“Devour!”

With a mental thought, the Devouring Fighting Soul appeared. Like a large void, it instantly devoured the Spiritual Crystals in front of Su Mo. Then, it returned to Su Mo’s body as though nothing had happened.

Whizz whizz whizz!!

A large ocean of Spiritual Qi gushed into Su Mo’s body as quickly as a rapid river.

Su Mo was calm but serious and he quickly immediately activated the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill to refine the Spiritual Qi.

The wave of Spiritual Qi was refined into the five elemental Dark Force before they were channelled into the five Divine Elixirs. Light seemed to shine brightly from the five Divine Elixirs as they rushed towards the Rank 2 Martial Honorable Realm.
