Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

At the Jade Cloud Lake.

Time quickly passed as they waited. Another day had passed, and Su Mo still had not shown up.

A commotion had broken on the Jade Cloud Lake as the sounds of people cursing could be heard all around.

“Damn it. I thought Su Mo was somebody. To think that he’s a coward afraid of death!”

“I was about to go into seclusion, but gave up on it for this. I rushed here to watch the battle, but Su Mo didn’t come!”

“This is such a disappointment. What talent? Bullshit!”

“I can’t wait anymore. The dishonest chap will not come!”

The noise spread over the peaks and many people looked angry.

The greater the anticipation, the greater the disappointment. Even though not many thought that Su Mo would be able to defeat Zhan Luan, they still thought well of him.

After all, Su Mo’s strength despite his lower cultivation state was enough to convince everyone.

However, Su Mo had disappointed everyone in this situation.

Not many were willing to wait any longer. Figures shimmered and left the Jade Cloud Lake.

At the Warlord Hall’s location.

Zhan Luan’s expression was grave. He had waited another day, but Su Mo did not show up.

“Elders, let’s go back!” Zhan Luan said to the people of the Warlord Hall. He was utterly disappointed in Su Mo.

“Luan’er, let’s wait another half a day!” The same elder from the Warlord Hall said.

The elder shared similar features with Zhan Luan. He was Zhan Luan’s father.

“Father, there’s no need. He won’t come!” Zhan Luan said, shaking his head. He had lost his patience and did not want to wait anymore.

Furthermore, the Netherworld Devil Sect had sent so many experts this time. Su Mo was no idiot and must have guessed that the Netherworld Devil Sect would not sit around and do nothing.

“Let’s wait another half a day. We shall return if he does not come then!” said Zhan Luan’s father.

Zhan Luan sighed helplessly. It would not do for him to leave since his father had said that they should wait. Then they shall wait for the final half of the day!

Yan Tai looked grave as well on the peak where the Netherworld Devil Sect was.

He had wanted to take his men and leave but did not do so after seeing that Zhan Luan was staying.

Su Mo might come as long as Zhan Luan did not leave. As such, he decided to continue waiting.

The other powers, like the Dugus, the Emperor Xuan Palace, and the Sky-sea Pavilion all felt the same. They would leave once Zhan Luan did.

However, Zhan Luan had not left, so they decided to continue waiting as well.

As time slowly trickled by, a large crowd of martial artists would leave occasionally. More than 100,000 had left after half a day.

However, the 100,000 that had left was just a fraction of the martial artists who had come to the Jade Cloud Lake.

“Father, elders, let’s go!”

They had waited for another half a day, but Su Mo still had not shown up. Zhan Luan would not wait any longer.

He called for them and flew into the sky, preparing to return to the Warlord Hall.

Countless martial artists saw this and grew angry and were resigned. Su Mo would not turn up, and now that Zhan Luan was about to return, the matter was over!

More than twenty thousand miles away, Su Mo, who was underground, sighed as well.

Zhan Luan was about to leave, but the people from the Netherworld Devil Sect were still there. He had to show up now, otherwise, he would really become a person who did not keep to his words.

Though the Jade Cloud Lake might be dangerous, Su Mo was still rather confident because he still wielded Wu Shan’s life in his hands.

Sigh!

Su Mo sighed and rushed up to the surface of the earth and flew towards the Jade Cloud Lake urgently.

Zhan Luan did not stay in the sky above the Jade Cloud Lake. He headed in the direction of the Warlord Hall after soaring into the sky.

Countless martial artists on the various peaks prepared to leave when they saw Zhan Luan leaving.

“Damn it, I’ve been tricked by Su Mo!”

“That trash, he’s really tricked us all!”

“Let’s go home! Su Mo doesn’t live up to his title and isn’t worthy of it!”

The air rang with numerous complaints. Then, the martial artists soared up into the sky and prepared to leave the Jade Cloud Lake.

The Emperor Xuan Palace and Sky-sea Pavilion all heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this. It was best that the matter could pass without a conclusion.

Right at this moment, a loud boom suddenly rang in the air at the horizon.

Everyone turned to look and were momentarily stunned.

A handsome and cold looking young man was flying rapidly towards them. An aggressive aura swirled within him.

“Su Mo is here!”

“It really is Su Mo!”

“He’s finally here!”

A commotion ran through the crowd as startled shouts rang in the air because the man approaching them was really Su Mo.

The masses had not expected that Su Mo would show up at this moment.

At this moment, there seemed to be a dark cloud looming over the Jade Cloud Lake. The Netherworld Devil Sect’s strong killing desire could not be concealed.

Meanwhile, the people of the Emperor Xuan Palace and Sky-sea Pavilion looked solemn. They were disappointed that Su Mo had still come after all.

Then, it was difficult to say what would happen after this.

Zhan Luan, who had already flown several thousand miles into the distance stopped when he saw Su Mo’s approach.

Swish!

Su Mo flew like an arrow straight into the middle of the Jade Cloud Lake, landing on it.

“Zhan Luan, let’s fight!” Su Mo did not say anything else, and neither did he greet those that he knew. He invited Zhan Luan to fight the moment he arrived.

“Hahaha!” Zhan Luan, who was tall and muscular, started to laugh. Then, he stepped into the void and returned immediately.

“Su Mo, you have not disappointed me!” The fighting desire in Zhan Luan’s eyes rose again as he landed on the surface of the lake a dozen miles away from Su Mo.

Countless people who were ready to leave returned to the peaks to watch the battle upon seeing that it was about to begin.

There was a dark flash in Su Mo’s hands, and the Billion Demonic Sword appeared. He stared at Zhan Luan and said softly, “There’s no need to talk too much. Let me witness the strength of the person at the top of the list of 10,000 talents!”

“Su Mo, you cultivated in the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill while I cultivated in the Firmament Body Intensification Skill. We are both Body-refining Experts, so let’s decide on the victor once and for all based on our physical strength!” Said Zhan Luan.

Zhan Luan wanted to fight with Su Mo because they both cultivated in one of the three greatest Body Refining Skills in the Firmament World.

And in each generation, the descendants of these three kinds of cultivation skill would battle to death to prove which skill was truly invincible.

This was a tradition that happened in every generation.

However, the descendants of the Immortal Golden Body Skill rarely appeared. The descendants of the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill and Firmament Body Intensification Skill fought in each generation.

In the past, the descendant of the Firmament Body Intensification Skill usually won in the battle.

As such, the Firmament Body Intensification Skill was known as the best Body Refining Skill in the Firmament World.

Su Mo shook his head when he heard what Zhan Luan said. He replied, “No matter our physical strength or the Dark Force, they are both parts of our strength. Only the conclusion and not the process of this battle matters!”

Su Mo was not stupid. His physical strength was just comparable to a martial artist in the Lv 1 Martial Royal Realm. He would surely lose if he fought Zhan Luan based on his physical strength.

Su Mo knew that Zhan Luan’s physical strength was at Lv 4 of the Martial Royal Realm.

As such, Su Mo had said this to tell Zhan Luan that he would not only use his physical strength but would use all his strength in the battle.
