Chapter 704 - Lv 5 True Darkness Realm
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn !
Su Mo had already witnessed Xue Tianqiong’s strength, so he did not act rashly.
He immediately completed the merge, and his five-colored Dark Force became three-colored. This caused his strength to surge greatly.
Fortunately, his property strength remained rather stable despite him using his Three Secret Techniques, so it didn’t affect the merge.
Su Mo’s strength jumped more than ten times thanks to the merge and his Three Secret Techniques.
Strength he had never felt before filled his entire body.
“Destroy!” he cried as he slashed out with his sword. A dazzling radiance tore the Space apart as the piercing three-colored word Qi headed for the blood-red saber Qi.
Countless people watched as the sword Qi and saber Qi collided.
Boom!
The three-colored sword Qi shattered with a loud explosion which weakened the saber Qi. Yet, the saber Qi still continued its onward trajectory toward Su Mo.
“Impressive!” Su Mo exclaimed inwardly. He still wasn’t Xue Tianqiong’s match even after extracting 60% of his essence, qi and spirit.
The difference in their cultivation was just too large to bridge. Xue Tianqiong was 5 levels higher than him and also an amazing talent on the List. His combat strength was many times stronger compared to his peers.
Su Mo could only stand a chance against him if he extracted 80% of his essence, qi and spirit.
As the saber Qi approached him, Su Mo didn’t have time to attack. He could only hastily raise his sword to block it.
Boom!
The saber Qi struck his long sword with immense force and let out a dull clang.
Su Mo was sent flying for over 5 kilometers, his Qi blood churning.
Whoosh!
Xue Tianqiong was not about to give Su Mo any time to rest. He attacked again with a wave of his curved saber, and the resulting blood-colored saber Qi was both brilliant and sharp.
“Eh?” Su Mo’s face first froze, then he immediately beamed.
The strong recoil from Xue Tianqiong’s earlier blow had loosened his cultivation bottleneck!
Su Mo was elated. Once he managed to break through, defeating Xue Tianqiong would not be an issue!
As he saw another blood-colored saber Qi headed for him, Su Mo quickly retreated while slashing out with his sword in an effort to block the blow.
Boom!
Xue Tianqiong was indeed very strong. The saber Qi destroyed all obstacles in its way, including Su Mo’s sword Qi. Still, its strength did not diminish one iota.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In a flash, two phantom avatars appeared from Su Mo’s body and rushed toward Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing.
Boom! Boom!
Both phantom avatars self-destructed all of a sudden, and its destructive power created a hole in the sea of blood and stopped Xue Tianqiong and Mo Qing in their tracks.
Su Mo immediately turned around and fled on his spiritual sword.
He had to stop battling for now if he wanted to breakthrough. He didn’t dare to rashly attempt to breakthrough whilst his property strengths were merged for fear of death by self-destruction.
He had to separate the properties for now.
Su Mo moved extremely quickly and was hundreds of kilometres away in an instant.
“Bastard!” Xue Tianqiong roared when he saw that Su Mo had escaped yet again. He dodged the phantom avatars’ explosion and resumed his pursuit of Su Mo.
Xue Tianqiong was livid. He didn’t anticipate the difficulty of killing someone as puny as Su Mo, nor did he expect Su Mo to be this powerful.
Su Mo resumed his attempts to break through to Lv 5 True Darkness Realm even as he fled on his sword.
He only had 1 hour. After that crucial hour had passed, the effects of his Three Secret Techniques will wear off. Even if he managed to attain Lv 5 True Darkness Realm, he would not be able to defeat Xue Tianqiong once the effects had worn off.
His nine spiritual spirals whirled as he continued to stuff spiritual herbs into his mouth. His five-colored Dark Force was at its highest concentration.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His nine spiritual spirals shook violently and as boundless Spiritual Qi surged into his spiritual spirals, Su Mo finally was on the verge of breakthrough.
His cultivation bottleneck had already loosened and with boundless spiritual Qi at his disposal, breaking through was just a matter of time!
“Su Mo, I, Xue Tianqiong will not rest until you are dead today!” Xue Tianqiong had almost caught up to Su Mo and was now within 100 kilometers of Su Mo.
Swish!
There was a crimson flash and a powerful saber Qi came at Su Mo from behind. Su Mo easily dodged it.
Boom!
At that moment, his nine spiritual spirals suddenly shook and a loud roaring sound could be heard.
They expanded rapidly and his Dark Force surged at an equally rapid speed. All the Spiritual Qi from his spiritual herbs was exhausted in an instant.
Su Mo was finally at Lv 5 True Darkness Realm.
Swoosh!
Su Mo didn’t have the time to stabilize his cultivation after breaking through. He immediately stopped and turned to look at Xue Tianqiong.
“He broke through?” Xue Tianqiong stared at Su Mo uncertainly as he flew over.
He was completely stunned. How did Su Mo manage to break through so easily? It was only a matter of minutes!
“Xue Tianqiong, you’re now my prey!” Su Mo laughed coldly and confidently.
“Is that so?” Xue Tianqiong’s brows knitted together, his face grave.
He was not afraid of Su Mo, but he had already experienced such difficulty trying to kill Su Mo at Lv 4 True Darkness Realm, so now that he was one level higher, Su Mo would be much more difficult to kill!
“Die!” Su Mo completed the merge without any hesitation and slashed out at Xue Tianqiong.
Whoosh!
Powerful three-colored sword Qi burst forth, reaching a height of more than 3,000 meters. It carried a destructive strength many more times more powerful that Su Mo’s earlier attacks.
Everything else paled in comparison to the dazzling three-colored sword Qi.
“What?” Xue Tianqiong’s face changed to one of extreme shock. Su Mo’s strength had increased to such an incredible extent.
Xue Tianqiong immediately countered with an attack of his own.
“Blood World Cut!”
This move from him turned heaven and earth blood-red and the blood-colored saber Qi tore the skies apart.
Xue Tianqiong used Blood World Cut which was more powerful than the Blood Wave Cut. He obviously didn’t dare to underestimate Su Mo.
The saber Qi collided against Su Mo’s sword Qi the next moment.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion and both sword and saber Qi exploded simultaneously. The resulting blast wave was terrifying and swept across the surrounding area.
Swoosh!
Su Mo and Xue Tianqiong were both sent flying.
Both of them were evenly matched!
“How was that possible?” Xue Tianqiong’s face darkened, unable to accept that Su Mo’s strength was now on par with his!
Even if Su Mo had managed to break through, at only Lv 5 True Darkness Realm, there was still a significant gap between them. He found the whole situation unbelievable!
Mo Qing had already caught up with them. However, when he noticed that Su Mo’s strength had surged, he didn’t approach them.
“Xue Tianqiong, one of us will be going down today!” Su Mo said, killing desire clear in his eyes as he streaked toward Xue Tianqiong.
Three phantom avatars appeared from his body and all charged at Xue Tianqiong together.
“Die!” Su Mo and his three phantom avatars attacked together. Four rays of powerful sword Qi shot straight at Xue Tianqiong.
