Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 602

Chapter 602

Quietly hidden deep within a deserted hill far away from the Great World City was a scroll . It was the Divine Map .

Su Mo had entered the Divine Map’s Space after hiding it from view .

He sat cross-legged with copious Spiritual Qi surrounding him .

He was trying to break through the bottleneck of the True Darkness Realm .

His nine Spiritual Spirals were spinning at full speed and his Vital Spirit was surging like boiling water .

He had converted most of his Vital Spirit into Dark Force, but a small trace of Vital Spirit remained, standing in his way like an insurmountable gap .

This was the bottleneck he was trying to get past . Once he managed to convert the last bit of Vital Spirit, he would easily be able to push past this .

“Breakthrough! Breakthrough!” He roared .

As he verged on the edge of a breakthrough, his aura started to destabilize and shook violently, causing tremors across the entire courtyard .

Time ticked by . All of a sudden, a rumbling sound could be heard from Su Mo’s body, as if he had thrown off the shackles holding him back . His nine Spiritual Spirals surged and expanded rapidly .

His aura continued to soar . All the Spiritual Qi in the yard streamed toward him and flowed into his body .

Almost instantly, he absorbed all the Spiritual Qi . His nine Spiritual Spirals rapidly expanded to many times their original size before their growth slowed down, then stopped altogether .

The yard returned to normal .

Su Mo slowly opened his eyes . A dazzling beam shot out from his eyes, cutting through the air dozens of meters away .

“Lv 1 True Darkness Realm!”

He could feel the copious Dark Force in his body . He clenched his hands and smiled . His cultivation had taken a giant leap forward .

In addition to the increase in strength, advancing to True Darkness Realm signified he was one step closer to the Central Continent .

Once his cultivation increased another few levels, he would be able to cross the Barbaric Mountains .

“I have over 30,000 Upper Spiritual Stones left; I can still increase my physical strength . ”

He sighed . Nie Yu’s storage ring contained around 50,000 Upper Spiritual Stones .

With the 10,000 he already had, this would add up to around 60,000 Upper Spiritual Stones .

However, he had used 30,000 to bring about this breakthrough . This rate of consumption was just too terrifying, even for him .

Su Mo continued to devour Spiritual Stones and cultivate his Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill .

The shadow of the Archean Dragonesque Elephant flashed around his body . It stood tall and large . Its head reached the heavens while its feet were planted firmly into the ground . It released an earth-shattering roar .

It was awe-inspiring . Anyone who witnessed it would quake in their boots .

The Archean Dragonesque Elephant was said to have been a super Divine Beast in ancient times . It was said to be so strong that its power rivaled the gods and could overpower demons .

Su Mo’s Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill was inspired by the Archean Dragonesque Elephant . Once he mastered the skill, he might not possess the power of a true Archean Dragonesque Elephant, but he wouldn’t be too far off .

He had yet to encounter any barriers in cultivating this skill, and with sufficient Spiritual Stones, he could continue to advance . However, after the 16th level, it would be a lot more difficult .

When he reached the 16th level, his physical strength would be on par with a Martial King Realm expert . If he wanted to progress beyond that, he would require a large amount of Dragonesque Elephant blood .

Su Mo had only cultivated to the 13th level, so he had no need to worry about that now .

He would cross that bridge when he came to it .

As he devoured Spiritual Stones, the golden glow he gave off intensified and his physical strength swiftly surged .

By the time he exhausted his supply of Upper Spiritual Stones, his physical strength had advanced from Lv 1 True Darkness Realm to that of a Lv 2 True Darkness Realm martial artist .

He stayed inside the Divine Map to refine his Dark Force and stabilize his cultivation .

He could have made further progress in increasing his physical strength, but he had run out of Spiritual Stones . He had to set it aside for now .

After cultivating for a few more days, Su Mo started to practice craftsmanship again .

He was going make some weapons that could be sold to the Sky-sea Pavilion together with some treasures from Nie Yu’s storage ring .

He was left with no other choice . He was just too poor right now!

He had purchased several craftsmanship materials when he was in the Celestialspirit Sect and now was as good a time as any to practice his craftsmanship .

Su Mo’s main goal in practicing craftsmanship was not to earn Spiritual Stones, but to craft a personal Natal Spiritual Sword .

A sword like this would make him invincible .

According to the records, martial artists who owned Natal Spiritual Swords were known as natal swordsman, and they were known for being the strongest of their class in ancient times .

The most powerful strategy a natal swordsman had at his disposal was known as the Natal Spiritual Sword Formation . Deploying a Natal Spiritual Sword Formation would make him unrivaled amongst his peers .

The records also told that during ancient times, a natal swordsman with True Darkness Realm cultivation had once killed a Martial Royal Realm expert .

It was absolutely unheard of for a martial artist of the True Darkness Realm to bridge the two realm gap in cultivation and kill a Martial Royal Realm expert!

Su Mo believed it to be the truth and not an exaggeration of facts .

According to the records, this man had 10,000 Natal Spiritual Swords when he was at Peak Lv 9 True Darkness Realm . He had formed a final hit formation with his 10,000 swords and killed the Martial Royal Realm expert with ease .

When he first read this piece of information, Su Mo had been amazed . This was just too powerful!

He was far too weak in comparison to the swordsman recorded in history .

“This man embodied what it means to cultivate truly amazing martial arts techniques . ” Su Mo marveled .

Based on the records, natal swordsmen were few and far between . Furthermore, none of them had ever attained the Martial Emperor Realm and only a handful had attained the Martial Royal Realm .

Most of these swordsmen inexplicably met with violent, untimely death .

The book Natal Swordcraft Techniques contained many sword formations that might not be as powerful as the 10,000 Natal Sword final hit formation, but nonetheless were still extremely powerful .

Su Mo dreamed of his becoming peerless in the Firmament and Continent once he crafted his own Natal Spiritual Sword and became a powerful natal swordsman .

He took out his crafting furnace and threw in a dozen materials, including Dark Steel, Violet Gold, Dark Element Crystal, and Thunder Print Rock .

He then filled the burner with his Dark Force and began to melt the materials .

He was now crafting an Upper Lv 4 weapon . It was much more challenging than the Lower Lv 4 weapons he had crafted previously .

His willpower bursting forth, Su Mo worked meticulously to control the duration and degree of melting .
