Warrior's Promise

In the Firmament Divine Realm, Blood Qi filled a deep cave. The repulsive smell of blood was nauseating.

There were dozens of young people in the cave, all dressed in black robes and full of overflowing Blood Qi.

In front of the group of black-robed young men was a 100-foot-wide blood pool. Surrounding the pool were piles of corpses, both from demonic beasts and young geniuses.

If Su Mo was there, he definitely would have recognized Wuning Country's Leng Yunfeng and Topsun Country's Third Prince, Jia Yuanji, among the corpses.

All the corpses were torn apart. Some had been dead for a long time, leaving their corpses as dry as mummies, whereas some had only just recently died. The scene was extremely cruel as the scarlet red blood of the corpses continuously flowed into the blood pool.

The blood pool was filled to the brim and blood could not stop overflowing out of it. A young man was sitting right in the middle of the pool.

The young man was about 17 or 18. He was white, pale, and very handsome with a full head of red hair. Even his eyebrows were blood red, making him extremely eye-catching, demonic, and mysterious.

The red-haired young man was cultivating in the blood pool, absorbing the enormous energy from the blood.

A black-robed young man standing outside the blood pool stepped forward. He clenched his fist in his palm and greeted the red-haired young man in the blood pool. "Prince Blood, we just lost two of our men!"

The red-haired young man heard him and slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.

"Within two short days, 20 men have fallen. What a bunch of garbage!"

the red-haired young man said emotionlessly.

The red-haired young man did not sound strict, but all the black-robed young men trembled.

All the black-robed young men were silent. Although they were all geniuses from the Sidehall of the Cold-blood Hall, in the face of a disciple from the East Continent Cold-blood Headhall, they did not dare to speak up.

They knew how scary Prince Blood could be. He was the son of the Cold-blood Headhall's Master, Blood Emperor, and a Lv 9 True Spirit Realm expert with strength comparable to an expert in the Enlightenment Realm.

"Great, the Firmament Palace will be surfacing soon. It's time for us to sweep the Firmament Divine Realm!"

The red-haired young man paused for a moment and said, "Who are the attention-worthy experts in your respective domains?"

The people broke out in chatter after the red-haired young man asked them.

"Blackdragon Domain's top talent, Chu Zhantian, has a cultivation at Lv 9 True Spirit Realm. He's definitely not one to be underestimated!"

"There is also Jian Tiaxu, the top talent of the Cloud Domain, who should not be ignored!"

"And also Lei Xiao from the Thunder Domain."

"..."

All the black-robed young men talked over one another, all bowing to speak to the red-haired young man.

At this moment, a tall black-robed young man came forward and said, "Su Mo, the champion of the List of Top 100 Talents of the Hong Domain, has incredible strength!"

All the black-robed men turned to face the man who had just spoken, looking puzzled.

"Mo Yue, the Hong Domain is so small, how could there be any experts there? What is Su Mo's cultivation level?" one of the black-robed men asked mockingly.

The tall young man was Young Master Mo Yue, one of the top 10 geniuses on the List of Top 100 Talents of the Hong Domain, hailing from the Hong Domain's Cold-blood Hall.

With a stiff face, Mo Yue said awkwardly, "Lv 4 True Spirit Realm!"

"Bleh!"

All the black-robed men could not help laughing after hearing what he said. However, in front of the red-haired young man, they did not dare to laugh out loud, so all their faces were bright red as they stifled their laughter.

A thin black-robed young man held in his laughter, shook his head, and said, "So, he has the same cultivation as you, which would be considered an expert only in the Hong Domain!"

Mo Yue was silent. The man was right, it did not matter if it was Su Mo or himself, in the eyes of the geniuses from the other domains, they were not worthy of mentioning.

"All right!"

the red-haired young man shouted loudly, and the crowd quieted down at once.

The red-haired young man stared at Mo Yue and said coldly, "We shouldn't even be talking about such a Lv 4 True Spirit Realm piece of garbage. Let the others continue."

Mo Yue trembled. The red-haired young man had just called Su Mo garbage, indirectly calling him garbage as well. However, he did not dare to refute it.

Everyone continued to introduce the noteworthy experts from their domains.

However, no one talked about the Dark Domain because the red-haired young man was from there, so it needed no introduction.

After hearing from everyone, the red-haired young man was silent.

After a short while, he nodded and said, "Besides those listed 1st on the List of Top 100 Talents from the Big Four Domains, no other experts are worthy of my attention!"

The red-haired young man stopped talking and rose up from the blood pool, looking cold as he stared out of the cave.

"Now, follow me and sweep the Firmament Divine Realm. We'll rob, absorb, and murder every genius that we meet!" the red-haired young man shouted with vigor and dominance.

"Yes, Prince Blood!" all the black-robed young man responded with a strong killing desire.

In the mountains,

Han Yijian, Wu Sheng, and the others had used a day to recover from their injuries. Other than Zhu Shaojing, who was weaker and unable to recover fully, the rest of them were mostly patched up.

A few of them had taken the Purple Nanmu Fruit and refined its medicinal power to improve their cultivations.

Su Mo sat under a big tree, cultivating both the Nirvana Cultivation Method and the Nirvana Sword Qi.

Nirvana Sword Qi was extremely important to Su Mo. If not for the fact that his Nirvana Sword Qi was exhausted before the pursuit, Yuwen Jun and his men could not have gotten away unscathed.

Fortunately, Su Mo's cultivation had increased greatly, allowing him to produce Nirvana Sword Qi at a much faster speed. It took only a day to replenish the nine Nirvana Sword Qi.

All Su Mo wanted to do now was stabilize his cultivation, and preferably, cultivate the Nirvana Cultivation Method to the fifth level.

When the Nirvana Cultivation Method had reached the fifth level, every spiritual spiral would be able to summon two Sword Qi, and then Su Mo would have 18 Nirvana Sword Qi, which would be just enough to support him through a prolonged battle.

Otherwise, with only nine Nirvana Sword Qi, the attack would be consumed too quickly. He would not be able to last long in any battle.

After two more hours, Wu Sheng and the others stopped cultivating. All of them had broken through from their current cultivation and risen up one level.

The four of them had already reached the peak of their individual realms. With the help of the Purple Nanmu Fruit, they broke through with ease.

This was also because the four of them had slightly lower cultivations than Su Mo. For him, there would not be any breakthrough, even with 100 Purple Nanmu Fruits.

"Su Mo, we are so thankful for you!"

Wu Sheng walked up to Su Mo's side and thanked him. Not only did he save his life, he had also gifted him the Purple Nanmu Fruit. Wu Sheng, who was usually cold and inanimate, was filled with gratitude.

"Su Mo, thank you!"

"Su Mo, if not for you, I'd have left the Firmament Divine Realm by now and waved goodbye to the Legacy of the Firmament Palace."

Han Qianze, Han Yijian, and Zhu Shaojing each came forward to thank him.

Zhu Shaojing felt complicated looking at Su Mo's youthful face because, despite the unsolved issues between them, Su Mo had saved him and gifted him the Purple Nanmu Fruit.

Upon hearing them, Su Mo ended his cultivation and opened his eyes.

"It was nothing much, not worthy of mentioning!"

Su Mo smiled and fell into a brief thought before he looked at the four of them and said, "I want to work with all of you. I wonder if you are willing."

"Work together?"

After they heard him, the four of them ask in a doubtful tone, "What do you mean?"

They were puzzled. Su Mo's strength was so much greater than theirs, so why did he need their help?

"Clean up the Firmament Divine Realm and loot from everyone!"
