Warrior's Promise

It was not Su Mo's carelessness. He didn't expect this Martial Royal Ordeal's Calamity Clouds to be this big.

Without hesitation, Su Mo retreated to the depths of the mountains.

As his Calamity Clouds were covering a sect's mountain gate, he couldn't continue to survive the ordeal. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people might be killed and his own safety might be threatened.

Whoosh!

Su Mo moved rapidly in the mountains like a flash of lightning. Seconds later he was already tens of thousands li deep in the mountains.

He stopped and stood tall at the summit of a small hill. Beams of light were shot out of his eyes as he got ready for the God's Ordeal.

The Calamity Clouds followed Su Mo closely in the sky.

Boom!

From the clouds came the roar as thunder transformed into countless rolling electric snakes. The massive Calamity Clouds slowly shrank.

Moments later, the Calamity Clouds shrank to the size of half, covering a radius of just over 3,000 li.

However, the shrunk Calamity Clouds were more powerful with further condensed force of thunder.

The massive Calamity Clouds had completely transformed into a Thunder Sea, with thunder roaring and lightning flashing. The aggressive thunderous power filled heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

In a distance, air was pierced through over and over again. Countless martial artists from the powerful sect flew in Su Mo's direction.

Su Mo was having the ordeal near a sect. Of course the sect would not just let him.

This unknown sect had countless disciples rushing towards Su Mo.

Su Mo was completely speechless. He intended to have the ordeal somewhere isolated but ended up causing such big trouble.

Su Mo glanced across this large crowd of hundreds of thousands. There were even a decent number of Martial Royal Realm experts.

"Which sect is this? Very powerful!"

Su Mo felt puzzled, his eyes scanning the crowd. Soon he spotted a few familiar faces.

"Xuan Sect!" Su Mo came to a sudden realization when he saw those strong fighters from the Xuan Sect he met before when the Fighting Spirits' Plane opened.

For example, Tai Yi, the Supreme Talent ranked 7th on the List of 10,000 Talents.

This must be the Xuan Sect, one of the nine most powerful forces of the Humans.

Those disciples of the Xuan Sect stopped a few thousand miles away from Su Mo, looking at the Calamity Clouds with horror.

"What ordeal is this? So terrifying!"

"Could this be an emperor ordeal?"

"No way!"

"It's Su Mo. Su Mo is having an ordeal!"

"A Martial Royal Ordeal. My lord... Su Mo has reached the Martial Royal Realm!"

"This Martial Royal Ordeal is too scary!"

All the disciples of the Xuan Sect looked horrified. They were shocked by the power of this God's Ordeal and surprised to find out Su Mo was having the ordeal.

But why would Su Mo come to the Xuan Mountain Range to have the ordeal?

They were confused.

Jiang Fengran was among the other disciples of the Xuan Sect.

Looking at Su Mo standing tall and straight at the summit like a pine tree, Jiang Fengran was at a loss.

Too fast! Su Mo had reached the Martial Royal Realm in such a short time.

This was incredible!

Su Mo noticed Jiang Fengran and nodded at him with a smile. He stopped paying much attention to those members of the Xuan Sect and focused on the God's Ordeal.

The God's Ordeal was about to start. He had no time to leave so he had to do it here.

It would be okay as long as they didn't get involved.

There was no conflict between Su Mo and the Xuan Sect. He hoped those mighty fighters from the Xuan Sect would make trouble with him.

The Xuan Sect.

Above the sect, over ten mighty figures stood high, looking in the direction of Su Mo from afar.

The man in the front was old yet solemn and dignified as if he could hold up heaven from earth.

He was the master of the Xuan Sect, Jiu Chubel.

One of the few Emperors-to-be in the Firmament World.

"Master, this is Su Mo." An elder whispered to Jiu Chubei.

"This child! A monster!"

Looking at the Thunder Sea rolling in the sky, Jiu Chubei remarked calmly.

Jiu Chubei could feel the power of this Lightning Punishment. Any martial artist of Lv 8 Martial Royal Realm would die in this.

"This young man is indeed a monster this world has never seen before. It won't be easy for him to survive this Martial Royal Ordeal," said another elder in a very deep voice.

The rest of the group nodded along. Faced by such a powerful Martial Royal Ordeal at the very beginning of the Martial Royal Realm, he was probably doomed to death.

Jiu Chubei also didn't think Su Mo could survive this Martial Royal Ordeal.

At the summit.

Su Mo's dark hair danced in the wind. The dark force surged in his body. He was ready for this God's Ordeal.

Bang!

All of a sudden, a loud explosion shook the sky as a thick beam of lightning burst out of the Thunder Sea, aiming at Su Mo.

This thunder beam, with a diameter of dozens of zhang, connected heaven and earth. Its horrifying force of thunder scared countless disciples of the Xuan Sect.

Rumble, rumble!!

The space collapsed as the thunder beam charged at Su Mo's head.

"Crush!"

Su Mo waved his arm as he chanted lightly, a sharp three-colored sword Qi flew out to confront the thunder beam.

Bang!

The sword Qi crushed the thunder beam, causing a very loud explosion. The beam broke into numerous electric snakes, escaping in all directions.

Su Mo resisted the first Lightning Punishment with ease.

The Martial Royal Ordeal was a small ordeal for martial artists.

The Martial King Realm and the Martial Emperor Ordeal would be considered major calamities, especially the Martial Emperor Ordeal, the Ordeal of Death.

The audience was shocked by how easily Su Mo blocked the first Lightning Punishment.

"An Imperial Divine Weapon!"

Jiu Chubei the master of the Xuan Sect muttered to himself, his eyes locked on Su Mo's Emperor Sword.

From tens of thousands of li away, Jiu Chubei could tell Su Mo was wielding an Imperial Divine Weapon.

After resisting the first Lightning Punishment with ease, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He knew how powerful the next Lightning Punishment would be.

This Martial Royal Ordeal was way easier than the Martial King Realm.

Next.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

...

The second, third until seventh Lightning Punishment came one after another. Su Mo easily crushed them all.

Su Mo's figure at the summit of the hill didn't move at all, extremely calm and casual.

The more relaxed Su Mo appeared, the more shocked disiciples of the Emperor Xuan Palace felt.

Those extremely powerful Lightning Punishments, almost as intense as strikes from a Lv 8 or 9 Martial Royal Realm expert were so easily dealt with by Su Mo.

It seemed Su Mo's strength was already at Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm, almost at the peak of the continent.

Above the Xuan Palace, Jiu Chubei heaved a sigh, his eyes gazing at Su Mo. "Invite him for some tea after this ordeal."

Jiu Chubei returned to the sect in a flash.

There was no point watching this anymore. This Martial Royal Ordeal wasn't very exciting.

All the elders looked stunned, their eyes full of emotions. They no longer felt shocked.

They had heard too much about Su Mo's miracles. They weren't very surprised to see his strength at this stage.
