Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 1242

Chapter 1242: 1242

On a level open area at the south court trading marketplace .

 This trading marketplace came about when the disciples of the Shenwu Academy began to gather at this spot on a regular basis thousands of years ago .

 There were few people in the marketplace, comprised of only a few hundred disciples from the south court who set up their stalls to trade treasures .

 There weren’t many disciples of Shenwu Academy . There were only a few tens of thousands in the fourth court of the outer mansion . Besides, they were outstanding and talented individuals . Only when they had too many items that were not very useful to them would they come to the market to sell them .

 Su Mo strolled through the stalls but did not find anyone selling Beast Souls, not to mention anyone selling Martial Souls or Fighting Souls .

 Su Mo felt perturbed . It would be impossible for him to advance to the next level of Devouring Martial Soul without Beast Souls, Martial Souls, and Fighting Souls . His Fighting Soul would not be able to evolve further .

 “Looks like the only way is to kill!” Su Mo contemplated in his heart . He would have to personally go out to kill for Beast Souls and Martial Souls .

 However, this was going to be an inefficient method, and he was not sure if he could make it in time!

 He had to give it a shot despite the small chance of success . He would not back off since he had already agreed to Leng Jiang’s challenge .

 Since he had accepted the challenge, he had to win!

 Su Mo did not waste any time . He left Shenwu Academy immediately, soared into the air, and headed toward Tushan Town .

 When he first came to Shenwu Academy, he had traversed many high mountain peaks covered with dense forests and had met numerous savage beasts . He had hunted and killed savage beasts there .

 Savage beasts differed from demonic beasts in that demonic beasts could assume human form once they reached a certain level, and they could thus form the various tribes of Demons .

 The Demons had the most massive tribes in the universe . The Ancientspirit Galaxy alone had tens of thousands of tribes of Demons, some of which were much more powerful than the Human tribes .

 The savage beasts were said to be unevolved demonic beasts . They were unable to evolve further regardless of how strong they were . They would remain brutal beasts with low spiritual wisdom .

 Such savage beasts were hunted by martial artists . They tended to attack viciously whenever they came across humans .

 Su Mo left Falling Skies where Shenwu Academy was located . After hurriedly journeying for an hour, he finally exited the wilderness of Falling Skies .

 He continued flying for a few more hours before he arrived at a densely vegetated mountain range .

 This particular mountain range was not vast, occupying an area of a few tens of thousands of square miles . Su Mo hovered over the mountain range and released his spiritual consciousness over a radius of a few thousand miles .

 After all, an Lv 5 Beast Soul was equivalent to a demonic beast’s soul at the True Darkness Realm, while an Lv 6 Beast Soul was equivalent to a demonic beast’s soul at the Martial King Realm . This was far beyond the level of his Devouring Martial Soul .

 Without any hesitation, Su Moimmediately began devouring martial souls .

 His forceful devouring power instantly spread out over a radius of three thousand miles .

 Roar! Roar! Roar!

 In a flash, deafening roars sounded one after another, and heaven and earth shook .

 Explosions came from the mountain range one after another, and the cries of agony of savage beasts accompanied the explosions .

 Numerous savage beasts were killed by the devouring power . The Beast Souls, blood, and energy of the savage beasts began gathering toward Su Mo .

 Su Mo simply devoured the Beast Souls and discarded the rest . There was no point for him to devour the other things seeing as his cultivation had reached a bottleneck .

 Roar!

 At this point, an enormous savage beast in the form of a lion dashed out from the mountain range in the distance, trying to escape as quickly as possible .

 This was an Eighth Level savage beast comparable to an Imperial martial artist . Although it was rather low in its spiritual wisdom, it could still sense the danger of Su Mo’s devouring power . Fearing for its life, it made a dash for safety .

 “Die!”

 Pointing his finger forward, Su Mo shot the Natal Spiritual Sword forward, piercing through the void . It struck the head of the savage beast instantly .

 Boom!

 The head of the savage beast was penetrated, and it was struck dead instantly . Its massive Beast Soul, under the influence of the devouring power, was unable to escape and was absorbed immediately .

 Su Mo aggressively devoured the Beast Souls . As he flew across the mountain range, all of the savage beasts were slaughtered in cold blood—not even one was spared .

 He devoured the beasts with such speed because this mountain range was relatively smaller, and there were not many powerful savage beasts in it . Within an hour, there were no living creatures left in the entire mountain range .

 “Continue!”

 Su Mo departed from the mountain range as he moved to his next target .

 He did not choose to go to the more massive mountain ranges lest he meet more ferocious savage beasts and risk being overpowered by them .

 He chose to go to the medium to small mountain ranges and savagely devoured the beasts’ souls .

 With the help of Devouring Ultimacy, his Devouring Martial Soul had become more powerful and he was able to cover a wider area . It was like slaughtering weak prey with a powerful weapon .

 He could easily sweep up all the savage beasts in this relatively small mountain range within a radius of ten thousand miles in the blink of an eye .

 Within days, Su Mo had managed to devour over a billion Beast Souls as he went around the various mountain ranges .

 The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage, who was in Su Mo’s Devouring Martial Soul, was both stunned and envious .

 He was increasingly amazed to see Su Mo devour numerous Beast Souls continuously .

 It was one thing to be aware that Su Mo could devour Beast Souls, but it was another thing to witness how he actually savagely devoured so many of them .

 At the same time, feeling the power of the beast souls that were devoured by the Devouring Martial Soul had awakened his craving as well .

 “Su Mo, given that I am extremely weak now, can you spare me some of the power from these souls?” The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage implored .

 At this point, Su Mo was standing on a mountaintop, devouring the savage beasts within an area of three thousand square miles . In response, he shook his head and replied . “I will only spare you some when my Martial Soul has reached Rank 8 Heaven Class . ”

 It was impossible for Su Mo to give an advantage to his opponent at this time lest his opponent regain his strength and Su Mo lose control over him .

 “Alright! I will wait!” Flaming Devil Ghost Sage sighed and kept his peace .

 Time passed slowly as the days went by .

 Three days passed in the blink of an eye .

 Su Mo was currently in a mountain valley . Once he successfully devoured an 8th Level savage beast, his Devouring Martial Soul shook violently as the eighth golden light ring appeared above him .

 “Finally, I have reached Rank 8 Heaven Class!” Su Mo rejoiced . It had taken him 13 days for his Martial Soul to progress to the next level—it was fast .

 Back when he was in Firmament World, he did not have many resources for cultivation . Despite having devoured numerous demonic beasts in the past, his Martial Soul had not progressed to the next level at that time .

 The beasts of the Firmament World were rather low-level .

 Although there were not many Eighth Level savage beasts among the savage beasts he devoured in the past ten days, there were still close to a million Seventh Level beasts among them .

 “I suppose I should be able to reach Rank 9 Heaven Class within the next 17 days . ”

 Su Mo muttered to himself . He was not very confident seeing as it definitely got harder as he progressed .

 Moreover, the Ultimacy of his Devouring Power had barely reached the first level . He would require more time to fully understand the first level .

 Time was running out!

 “Have you actually… actually progressed to the next level?” Flaming Devil Ghost Sage asked in shock .

 Not taking into account those hundred thousand years of slumber, he had lived tens of thousands of years, but this was the first time he saw a Martial Soul that could be promoted to a higher level . It was something beyond his imagination .

 This had completely broken the normal rules in the cultivation of the Martial Soul!
