Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 506

Chapter 506: 506


Skysea Lake was so enormous that one could not see its coasts . There were countless islands in the lake, ranging from small reefs that were several meters wide, to giant islands spanning over hundreds of kilometers .

After Su Mo and the girls flew for three days, they finally reached their destination, Everlasting Island .

Three days ago, Su Mo took a break on a small island to devour Master of All Beasts .

However, the Master of All Beasts' Dark Spirit had already dissipated, and only 10% of the Qi of blood essence in his body was left .

Despite so, the remaining 10% of his blood Qi was enough to rapidly improve Su Mo's strength, bringing his physical strength to Lv 6 Enlightenment Realm .

Everlasting Island was one of the biggest islands in Skysea Lake, spanning over several thousand kilometers . There was a country built atop the island, named Everlasting Country .

Everlasting Country contained over a dozen cities and tens of millions of people, making it extremely prosperous .

"Qingxuan, Senior Sister Huang, are there any ancient ruins near Everlasting Island?" Su Mo asked .

"There are over a dozen post-archean ruins within 5,000 kilometers from Everlasting Island, and some of them are even from the ancient times . Each of these ruins is a treasure cove . Brother Su Mo, we could try our luck . " Hong Qingxuan replied .

After pausing for thought, Su Mo asked again, "These ancient ruins had been discovered a long time ago, so there aren't many treasures left, right?"

Nodding her head, Hong Qingxuan replied, "Indeed, most of the treasures have already been taken . The ones that are left are also out of reach due to extreme dangers . "

Su Mo sighed as he realized that venturing into ancient ruins was a bad way of making money, since it was extremely difficult to obtain the treasures!

'Why are there so many ancient ruins in the Skysea Lake?" Su Mo asked in a puzzled tone .

Huang Yao smiled and replied, "Junior Brother Su Mo, Skysea Lake was apparently the gathering place for many ancient powers during the post-archean times, which is why it is loaded with ancient ruins!"

"The gathering place of ancient powers?" Realization dawned on Su Mo . However, he was still confused by the fact that so many ancient powers chose to gather at a body of water like Skysea Lake .

As if she could tell that Su Mo was confused, Huang Yao continued explaining, "It is said that the Skysea Lake did not exist before the post-archean times . Legend has it that the Skysea Lake was created by an ancient master with a single palm strike!"

"What? A single palm strike?" Su Mo was shocked by her explanation . "Is it really possible to create a lake spanning several hundred thousand kilometers with a single palm strike?"

Su Mo shook his head as he did not take the story seriously . Even a Martial Emperor could not possibly be that powerful!


"This is just a legend, so it shouldn't be true . " Huang Yao also shook her head as she did not believe it .

"Brother Su Mo, Senior Sister Huang, we'll be heading for the Heavenly Inn now . Heavenly Inn is a gathering place for travelling cultivators, and we should be able to attain the latest information over there . " Hong Qingxuan added .

Su Mo and Huang Yao nodded in response .



An hour later, the three of them arrived at the Heavenly Inn .

Heavenly Inn was pretty normal, but it was a large inn with a radius of over 300 meters .

After entering the inn, they saw no one else besides the shopkeeper at the counter .

They felt bewildered that such a big inn had zero patrons in its hall!

"Shopkeeper, why is there no one around?" Su Mo asked the shopkeeper .

The shopkeeper was an old man over 60 years old who was wearing a teal shirt . Hearing Su Mo's question, he took a good look at the three of them, before asking with a smile, "You guys have just arrived in Everlasting Island, right?"

"Oh? How do you know that?" Su Mo was confused .

"An ancient ruin has just been discovered in the water nearby . Since everyone went to the ruin, how could there be anyone at the inn? Since you guys aren't aware of this, you must be newcomers!" the shopkeeper said with a smile .

"A newly discovered ancient ruin?" Su Mo's interest was instantly piqued, and so was Hong Qingxuan's and Huang Yao's .

Newly discovered ruins were nothing like the older ones that had been thoroughly explored, so they definitely contained a big amount of treasures .

"Where is the ruin? How far away is it?" Su Mo asked excitedly . He had never expected to be so lucky to be able to come across a new ruin just as he arrived .



"It's near the Tanshan Island in the north, about 7,500 kilometers away," the shopkeeper replied with a smile .

"Thank you!" Su Mo expressed his gratitude and turned to Huang Yao and Hong Qingxuan . "Senior Sister Huang, Qingxuan, let's head to Tanshan Island immediately . "

"Ok!" The two girls nodded in unison .

The trio then left Everlasting Island without any delay and rushed toward Tanshan Island .

When they arrived at Tanshan Island after two hours, they could tell where the ruin was without asking .

There were many people coming from all directions who dived straight into a specific region of water .

"Let's go!" They did not hesitate to dive into the water .

After entering the lake, the trio each activated a Vital Spirit Air Shield for protection against the lake water . They dived deep into the water rapidly and soon reached a depth of over 3 kilometers .

"This lake is so deep!" Su Mo was astonished by its depth . They continued diving and soon reached a depth of over 4 . 5 kilometers .

At this moment, the water pressure was so strong that Huang Yao's Vital Spirit Air Shield was on the verge of collapsing .

Huang Yao suddenly stopped moving, and so did Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan .



"Junior Brother Su Mo, Junior Sister Hong, you guys should go ahead! I can't take this anymore!" Huang Yao exclaimed with a painful expression .

Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan could empathize with her . The water pressure at this depth was extremely terrifying . Once Huang Yao's Vital Spirit Air Shield collapsed, she would be instantly crushed to death by the enormous water pressure . Even her Body-protection Vital Spirit might not be able to protect her .

After a brief moment, Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan nodded in response . Since they had yet to reach the bottom of the lake after so long, they could not tell how deep it was . It was indeed unadvisable for Huang Yao to continue going deeper!

"Senior Sister Huang, where are you planning to go to?" Su Mo asked .

Huang Yao paused to collect her thoughts and replied, "I'll return to Everlasting Island first! I'd probably check out the ruins near the island!"

"Take care!" Su Mo said .

"You guys have to take care of yourselves too . New ruins are usually coupled with extraordinary dangers, so you must be extra cautious!" Huang Yao left them with a reminder and floated upward toward the surface .

"Qingxuan, how are you doing? Can you still endure it?" Su Mo looked at Hong Qingxuan and asked .

Although her cultivation was three levels below Huang Yao's, she was much stronger than Huang Yao .

However, Hong Qingxuan was not looking too good at the moment either . Her Vital Spirit Air Shield was nearly completely squashed, and her face was red like a ripe peach, which made her look very cute .

Hong Qingxuan took a deep breath and replied with a sigh, "I can keep going for another kilometer . Anything beyond that, and I'll have to go back as well!"
