Chapter 2082: The River of Fallen Star
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
In a simple-looking palace, Su Mo opened his eyes and ended his seclusion.
After cultivating for a few months, his Martial Sage End Realm cultivation level had become more grounded.
However, he was still far from the Martial Sage Great Completion Realm.
During his seclusion, Su Mo had not only condensed his cultivation level but he was merging the Fighting Souls as well.
The Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul was mighty. It was unlike the ordinary Fighting Souls, so he could not activate it using the method that he had used on the ordinary Fighting Souls.
After spending some time studying the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul, Su Mo had a good understanding of it and could use it freely.
He was thus able to bring out the true power of the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul.
Shortly, Su Mo stood up and stepped out of the palace.
Creak!
When he opened the gate, he got a shock. Many people were crowding outside the gate.
After he did a count, he found that there were around 10,000 people and they had blocked off the passageway.
The First Elder, Qu Ya, Luo Rong, Jian Zhong, and many other elders and disciples were among them.
“What are you doing?” Su Mo asked as he looked at the multitude in amazement.
“Su Mo, there are two more weeks before your fight with Gongcheng Tai Hao takes place. You will need around two weeks to reach the River of Fallen Star!”
The First Elder said grimly as he stepped forth. Part of his hair was white, and he had a big build.
He had been waiting outside Su Mo’s palace for two days. If Su Mo was still not out, he had the intention to go in to remind Su Mo.
After all, the date of the fight was round the corner.
Qu Ya, Luo Rong, and many disciples and elders fixed their gaze on Su Mo and they looked excited.

The refined youth had defeated Ye Lingtian, who was the most powerful King Sage in the Dark Region. He was about to challenge Gongcheng Tai Hao, the legendary, invincible figure.
Everyone was looking forward to seeing the outcome.
In fact, many disciples from Shang Qing Palace had already left for the River of Fallen Star.
The cultivation level of those disciples was low, thus they had to set off earlier lest they not get there on time to watch the fight.
Those who were still around were mostly experts. They had confidence in reaching the River of Fallen Star before the appointed time.
“Alright!” Su Mo nodded. He had come out of seclusion as he had taken into consideration the traveling time.
“Su Mo, let me lead the way. We shall go to the River of Fallen Star together!” The First Elder said, showing reverence to Su Mo. Although he was a Rank 1 Empty God, he dared not look down on Su Mo.
Given Su Mo’s talent and combat strength, even Yue Hai, a Rank 3 Empty God had to hold Su Mo in high regard, let alone the First Elder.
“Where are your Palace Master and the… lady elder?” Su Mo asked.
All the top powers from the Sky Tyrant Clan would be there to witness the fight. If Ling Chang was not around, Su Mo would not have a fair chance to fight Gongcheng Tai Hao.
“They will be there. Don’t worry!” The First Elder nodded.
“Alright. Let’s set off!” Su Mo did not say another word, and he flew up to the sky.
When the First Elder saw it, he caught up with Su Mo and led the way.
The disciples and elders left Shang Qing Palace and followed Su Mo and the First Elder toward the River of Fallen Star.
…
The River of Fallen Star was located in the center of Dark Region. As the name suggested, the river had been formed by several fallen stars.

The River was wide and long, and it occupied a large area.
The River of Fallen Star was not in existence until men created it, whereupon it became one of the wonders of the world.
According to legend, several hundreds of thousands of years ago, many big stars were located there.
After the Great Ancient Battle, all the stars had been destroyed and they broke up into fragments.
The fragments then formed the current River of Fallen Star.
The River of Fallen Star was currently packed with many martial artists and one could not even see the end of the horizon.
The top powers from the various forces and races in the entire Dark Region had gathered at the River of Fallen Star.
Even martial artists from the surrounding stars were led by their elders to the River of Fallen Star to watch the fight.
It was not exaggerating to say that millions of martial artists had gathered around the River of Fallen Star, and the scene was beyond description.
A meteorite, which was about the size of a hill, was located at the center of River of Fallen Star, and a burly figure was sitting cross-legged on it.
The person was in a golden robe, and he looked determined and sharp. His long hair fell to his waist, and he looked elegant and calm.
He was none other than Gongcheng Tai Hao, one of the main leads for the fight.
Many people looked at Gongcheng Tai Hao with admiration, amazement, and respect.
There were no qualms about the fact that Gongcheng Tai Hao was the idol of many young martial artists in the Dark Region.
Ever since Gongcheng Tai Hao had become famous, he had never stopped creating miracles and he had continuously made himself known in the Dark Region.
He had become a legendary figure in the Dark Region.
“Today is the day of the fight. Why is Su Mo not here yet?”
“Has he chickened out?”
“I don’t think so. If not, he wouldn’t have sent out the Battle Invitation!”
“Although Su Mo has defeated Ye Lingtian, I don’t think he can defeat Gongcheng Tai Hao!”
“I think likewise. Gongcheng Tai Hao is an Inborn Supreme. He has a longstanding reputation and his combat strength has been proven over and over again. Whereas, for Su Mo, what ability does he have to take on Gongcheng Tai Hao?”
“Well, we will know soon if Su Mo is truly powerful. I am looking forward to seeing it!”
Many people were discussing among themselves around the River of Fallen Star and the area was bustling with noise. The people were discussing and speculating about the outcome of the fight.
Apparently, 90 percent of the multitude reckoned that Gongcheng Tai Hao would defeat Su Mo. After all, all of them knew the power that Gongcheng Tai Hao possessed.
As for Su Mo, he had appeared all of a sudden. He had defeated Ye Lingtian out of the blue and become the most powerful King Sage in the Dark Region. However, no one had witnessed his actual strength.
Thus, most of them felt that Gongcheng Tai Hao would emerge as the winner.
Li Zun, Li Feng, and the top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan were standing beside the River of Fallen Star. They had arrived early and had been waiting for the fight to begin.
“Clan Leader, will they back out?”
One of the top powers asked Li Zun with a grave look.
“Don’t worry, they will be here!” Li Zun shook his head and looked indifferent.
This time around, not only Su Mo but the woman also had to die.
After killing Su Mo and the woman, they would destroy Shang Qing Palace.
“Clan Leader, do we have to get involved?” Li Feng asked anxiously when he saw the killing intent in Li Zun’s eyes.
Li Feng was worried. Is the Clan Leader scheming against Su Mo? In that case, Su Mo will be in danger!

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
