Chapter 417 - Destroying the Sect
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Scorching Sun Sect's treasury was located in a palace. There was a stone door deep into the palace which was covered in a flaming radiance, obviously meaning that there's a powerful formation protecting the door.
This palace was supposed to be guarded, but the guards had long escaped, allowing Su Mo to get to the stone door without facing any obstacles.
"This is our sect's treasury!" the middle-aged man stopped before the stone door and said.
"What's the formation here?"
Su Mo asked as he looked at the spiralling flame aura on the door.
"It's the Eight Rotating Flames Formation! It's an extremely powerful defensive formation, even an expert of Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm can't possibly break it!" the man replied.
Following which, he looked at Su Mo cautiously and asked uncertainly, "I've brought you to the treasury, can I leave now?"
Su Mo glanced at him and said, "It won't be too late to let you go after I destroy this formation and get into the treasury!"
Su Mo couldn't possibly let him leave because he might be lying, and this place might not be the treasury.
Er!
The middle-aged man put on a bitter expression.
He was complaining inwardly because he didn't think that Su Mo could destroy this formation at all. The Eight Rotating Flames Formation had an extremely powerful defense, and without a way to open it, even two or three Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm experts couldn't possibly destroy the formation.
Su Mo walked before the stone door and fixed his gaze on it. His aura suddenly surged as a five-colored light surrounded him.
He then punched the door violently.
Boom!
A loud bang was heard as the flaming aura on the door quickly gathered into a rapidly spinning flame shield to block Su Mo's fist.
The flame shield shook but was completely unscathed, while Su Mo was forced back by several dozen steps with his internal Qi blood disturbed.
"Its defense is tough indeed!"
Su Mo was surprised knowing that Scorching Sun Sect had protected their treasury so thoroughly. He figured that no one in Skymoon Country could force this door open.
"About that...Su Mo, you don't have to waste your strength anymore. This Eight Rotating Flames Formation can't be broken without the strength of Peak Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm." the man spoke.
"Can't be broken? I don't think so!"
Su Mo smiled gently and stepped forward again, preparing to break the formation.
Seeing that Su Mo refused to give up, the man looked at Su Mo disdainfully. He believed that Su Mo was wasting his strength as he could never succeed.
Although Su Mo was powerful enough to kill a martial artist at a half step to the Enlightenment Realm in an instant, he was still far from being able to break the Eight Rotating Flames Formation!
Su Mo stood before the stone door and took a deep breath. He wanted to break this formation with one strike!
His previous punch was just to test the water. He now roughly understood how tough the Eight Rotating Flames Formation's defense was!
Five-colored Genuine Vitality shrouded his body as his aura rocketed, his nine Spiritual Spirals were running at their maximum capabilities and his energy was sharp as a sword.
Boom!
Su Mo burst in a golden glow as the golden scales covered his entire body, and elephant shadows appeared from his body roaring.
"Break!"
Su Mo roared and slashed his sword forward.
This sword was heavy as a mountain as its power reached the extreme. Shrouded in the five-colored sword radiance, the sword split the air and slashed at the stone door.
The flaming aura formed a giant flame shield again and collided with the sword.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, the shield trembled, and then, to the man's disbelief, it was blown to pieces.
Poom!
The Eight Rotating Flames Formation was completely destroyed and exposed the antique and simple stone door.
"This...he really broke it!" the man fell into a daze.
After breaking the formation, Su Mo pushed open the door gently to reveal a gigantic treasury.
The first thing he saw was a milk white radiance coming from an enormous pile of spiritual stones.
Apart from spiritual stones, there were many other various treasures like spiritual herbs and weapons.
However, Su Mo felt slightly disappointed when he saw everything in the treasury.
The fortune inside the treasury was much less than Su Mo had expected. He had thought that Scorching Sun Sect, as one of Skymoom's four sects, would contain an endless amount of spiritual stones and treasures. But now that he took a look at it, it was less than even 10% of what he had.
However, Su Mo wasn't too disappointed. There were over 200 million lower spiritual stones, not to mention the spiritual herbs and weapons that were worth even more. This was a big fortune.
After entering the treasury, Su Mo started keeping the treasures.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man chose to run away hastily.
He didn't count on Su Mo to let him off, so he took the first opportunity he had to get away.
Su Mo didn't care about his escape since he had found the treasury!
He soon emptied the treasury.
Su Mo then left the palace and shot into the sky above Scorching Sun Sect.
"From today onward, Scorching Sun Sect will cease to exist!"
Looking at the stretch of buildings beneath, Su Mo suddenly moved as a hint of ferociousness flashed in his eyes.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Streams after streams of sharp sword Qi shot out from Su Mo's sword and struck toward the buildings.
Rumble!
Dust flew everywhere as the buildings collapsed one after another. After a brief moment, the entire Scorching Sun Sect was turned into ruins.
Su Mo then left happily.
Most of the experts from Scorching Sun Sect above True Spirit Realm had been killed, with only a few to spare. All the disciples had escaped as well. Scorching Sun Sect would cease to exist!
...
When Su Mo returned to Gale Island, it seemed peaceful on the surface.
He flew toward the main hall directly, thinking that everyone would be discussing inside the main hall after such a huge incident.
As expected, Su Mo reached the main hall to discover a crowd gathering inside. Almost all the experts of Gale Island in True Spirit Realm were in the hall.
The 100 or so people who surrendered to Cold-blood Hall were also in the hall. They were at the center, apologizing non-stop to the Highest Elder with shameful expressions.
Everyone else was giving them cold looks.
When Su Mo entered the hall, everyone's attention was diverted to him.
"Su Mo, how was it? Did you get them?"
The Highest Elder Qing Pingzi quickly asked, his face red from excitement.
"Not a single one left!" Su Mo replied flatly.
Hiss!
Everyone gasped after hearing Su Mo.
"Not a single one left?"
"He killed them all?"
