Warrior's Promise

In the Firmament Palace, Su Mo was refining his Dark Force and consolidating his cultivation.

The cultivation could never be consolidated enough for the breakthrough.

The next day the Empress of the North Sea left, Princess Qing Ya came to the Firmament Palace.

Su Mo arranged her to the Evergreen Palace since she practiced wood property martial arts technique.

Dark Force flowed through the meridians, again and again, one Macrocosmic Orbit after another.

Su Mo knew that the Icy Palace of North Sea would do as he said. He only needed to wait for the queen to send the stones.

With those stones, he could upgrade again.

He wanted to conquer superpowers such as the Icy Palace of North Sea.

However, he knew that those superpowers had long histories and pride.

It was easier to let them submit but hard to merge them.

Although Su Mo could easily destroy them, there was no point doing this.

It would not work by force because they were not merged under their own wills.

He wanted no bloodshed and those superpowers to join the Firmament Palace willingly.

In this way would they be truly united.

He did not hurryin this thing though. If he upgraded again, the world would listen to his command.

Less than a month, the Empress of the North Sea arrived at the Firmament Palace when Su Mo was cultivating.

She handed over dozens of storage rings to Su Mo and left immediately.

When this woman left, her face was full of grief!

The storage rings abounded in cultivating resources, including countless Upper Spiritual Stones, Upper Spiritual Stones, Medium Spiritual Stones, all levels of Spiritual Herbs and weapons, and numerous cultivation skills and martial arts techniques.

Except for the Spiritual Stones and Spiritual Herbs, Su Mo put the other items into the Firmament Palace treasury.

...

In the Divine Map, Su Mo sat cross-legged among piles of Spiritual Stones and Herbs.

The cultivating resources from the Icy Palace of North Sea were all here.

They equaled to 30 billion Supreme Spiritual Stones in total.

"It should be enough!"

Su Mo took a deep breath.

He then released his Devouring Martial Soul and began devouring them.

He was drowned in a dense Spiritual Mist with a radius of 90,000 meters.

The Spiritual Mist rolled like a creeping Archean Giant Beast.

Massive Spiritual Qi rushed into his body as he started to break through to Lv 5 Martial Royal Realm.

The Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill kept running. The Spiritual Qi was refined into Dark Force in five elements which were pushed into the five divine elixirs.

The five divine elixirs glowed and vibrated, which meant that they were upgrading.

Time passed as he cultivated.

The spiritual mist kept shrinking into a radius of only 300 meters 20 hours later.

Su Mo started to worry if he could not upgrade. He would want to die if so many stones and herbs could not help him upgrade.

"Rumble!"

The five divine elixirs were on the verge of the breakthrough.

Finally, the five divine elixirs broke through their limits when the mist was in a radius of only 150 meters.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The five divine elixirs shook as their aura surged. The Spiritual Mist around Su Mo was instantly absorbed into his body.

After a short while, everything became quiet.

Su Mo opened his eyes and let out a mouthful of murky Qi. It was so close. He almost failed to upgrade.

However, the remaining Spiritual Qi after the breakthrough was not enough, which made his cultivation base extremely weak.

But it didn't matter. He just needed to cultivate for some time and it would be fine.

After reaching Lv 5 Martial Royal Realm, he was truly invincible.

He defeated Wu Sen because of the secret skill.

Now, he was invincible even without using the secret skill.

He visited Qian Xunyue again and left the Divine Map.

In his palace, he continued cultivating to absorb the Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth.

He had been sitting there for half a month.

Then, he was completely stable at Early Lv 5 Martial Royal Realm.

Sitting in his palace, he began considering the next step.

There were only a few years left until the Major Calamity.

There were still vacant descendants. He had to go to the Barbaric Mountains to bring Lil Eight back.

Also, he still needed massive resources to improve his cultivation.

He then summoned Hai Mingjiang.

However, Hai Mingjiang had left the Firmament Palace to capture the Netherworld Devil Sect residuals.

Su Mo then summoned Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian.

"Palace Master!"

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian saluted as he entered Su Mo's palace.

"Long time no see, Elder Qian. You've progressed a lot!" Su Mo smiled as he sized Elder Qian up.

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian had reached peak Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm, and was about to reach the Emperor-to-be!

"Haha! Thanks to the Palace Master!"

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian was totally confident to be an Emperor-to-be in one year since he practiced Imperial martial arts techniques.

"Good! The sooner the better!"

Su Mo was happy to see his men progress. He needed them to fight the Trial Testers.

"Elder Qian, I've got a quest for you."

"Tell me!" Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian said respectfully.

"Send the words to all the superpowers in this world, that Su Mo will dominate the Firmament World. And they will either ride with me, or die against me!"

Keen light glittered in Su Mo's eyes. He continued, "Two months later, I'll hold a banquet. Invite those superpowers' masters to the Firmament Palace!"

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian was shocked upon hearing the words. Then, a lofty sentiment and aspiration rose in his heart.

"Ride with me, or die against me!" Such shocking words.

Elder Qian noticed that Su Mo upgraded again. Su Mo was now totally capable of dominating the world.

"Aye, Palace Master! I'll do it now!" Elder Qian nodded and left.
