The underworld in the Devil Abyss.
There was a chaotic scene in the sky. Countless Dark Force, Qi and Blood, Martial Souls and Corpse Qi were rising.
Su Mo stood still and looked at the resources gathered. After some hesitation, he turned his palm and took out the Billion Demonic Sword.
“Jie, Jie, Jie!!! ”
Upon its appearance, the laughter of the Demonic Spirit in the Demonic Sword spread to Su Mo’s mind.
“Demonic Spirit, these Qi and Blood are all yours!” Su Mo said coldly. Then, he threw the Demonic Sword into the endless stream of Qi and Blood.
In a flash, the demonic ray above the Demonic Sword burst into flames and began to absorb endless Qi and Blood.
Su Mo sat cross-legged high in the sky and began to absorb the Dark Force and Martial Souls.
There was so much Dark Force and Martial Souls, he would not allow them to be wasted.
As the Dark Force entered his body, Su Mo tried his best to refine it. Meanwhile, lots of Martial Souls were devoured by him.
Time passed slowly. After about an hour, everything became calm.
All of the Dark Force, Martial Souls, Qi, and Blood had disappeared.
Su Mo had risen from the initial stage of the Lv 4 Martial Royal Realm to the middle stage, still far from the peak of the Lv 4 Martial Royal Realm.
These disciples of the Netherworld Devil Sect were too low in cultivation and had complex and rare Dark Force. They were not of much use.
However, Su Mo’s Martial Soul was not promoted even after devouring hundreds of thousands of Netherworld Devil Sect disciples’ Martial Souls.
He was devouring Martial Souls in order to advance, so he needed a lot of Martial Souls to devour.
Nearby, the Billion Demonic Sword was quietly suspended in the void. The dark sword frighteningly emitted boundless radiance of sanguine light.
Swish!
Su Mo directly attracted the Billion Demonic Sword to his palm as he opened his hand.
Su Mo was surprised as he felt the Demonic Spirit in the Demonic Sword growing again. The power contained in the Billion Demonic Sword was astonishing.
He felt that the power of the Billion Demonic Sword should not be weaker than that of his Emperor Sword at the moment.
When he slaughtered the Yins, the Demonic Spirit had absorbed so much blood. Now, it had absorbed hundreds of thousands of people’s blood. He estimated that it had almost recovered.
“Demonic Spirit, are you at your peak again?” Su Mo’s mind sent out a voice of inquiry.
“Jie, Jie! Almost. I am 70 percent recovered!” The Demonic Spirit answered with strange laughter.
“Seventy percent!” Su Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seemed the sword was far more powerful than he expected.
After absorbing so much Qi and Blood, it had become so powerful, yet it was only 70% recovered.
“When it is all recovered, what would it be like?”
His Emperor Sword was an Upper Imperial Divine Weapon. Could the Billion Demonic Sword surpass his Emperor Sword?
“If you recover to the peak, what level will you be?” Su Mo asked again.
“Infinitely close to an Honorable Weapon!” The Demonic Spirit said.
Su Mo gasped in horror. Was the Billion Demonic Sword a little stronger than some Imperial Weapons? It was infinitely close to an Honorable Weapon!
The Honorable Weapon was a weapon of the expert above the Martial Emperor一the Mighty One in the Martial Honorables Realm.
“You are that powerful?” Su Mo asked in surprise.
“Hey hey! Of course! When the master refined this sword, it was to fight Trial Testers!”
The Demonic Spirit smiled and then lamented as it continued speaking. “However, the Trial Testers were too strong back then, and the master failed!”
Su Mo nodded when he heard this. He stopped asking questions and put away the Billion Demonic Sword.
Glancing at the four cities below, Su Mo repeatedly clapped his hands and pressed down huge handprints that were like mountains.
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering explosion and then smoke billowed into the sky. The four city walls and the cities within were turned into ashes and left only four huge deep pits.
Swish!
Su Mo then turned around and flew out of the Devil Abyss.
As he flew over the Devil Abyss, he looked at its entrance. He meditated for a while and then he moved a barren hill over 3,000 meters high from the distance and hit the entrance of the Devil Abyss.
Boom!
There was another earth-shattering noise. The entrance to the Devil Abyss was completely blocked and turned into a heap of rocks.
Su Mo then left the area and returned to the Firmament Palace.
…
A few days later, as Su Mo approached the main gate of the Firmament Palace, he saw millions of martial artists gathered outside the large Water Curtain Formation.
“Well? What’s happening?” Su Mo was shocked as he flew straight to the main gate.
“Palace Master Su!”
“Su Mo!”
“Palace Master Su Mo is back!”
As soon as he appeared, there was a sensation in the whole place. Everyone looked at him.
Su Mo glanced at the crowd and found that some of these people were the ones he saved in the Heaven-sea City.
“Palace Master Su, we want to join the Firmament Palace, so we’ve come to participate in the examination!”
“I have been waiting here for two days!”
“Palace Master Su, we also want to join the Firmament Palace. I don’t know if there is any chance?”
“I want to be a disciple of the Firmament Palace!”
Noisy voices were heard one after another.
Of these people, a small number had been rescued by Su Mo in the Heaven-sea City and had said that they would join the Firmament Palace. Now they were here to become part of it.
There was a large number of people who had come from different places after hearing that Su Mo had defeated Wu Sen.
After all, the fact that Su Mo defeated Wu Sen signified the invincible strength of the Firmament World. Besides, the inner power of the Firmament Palace was profound. This was why everybody wanted to join the Firmament Palace.
Currently, in everyone’s opinion, joining the Firmament Palace gave one a distinguished identity, a notable status, and a promising future.
However, the Firmament Palace had never recruited disciples ever since it was established, so people did not hold much hope.
Most of these arrivals were young people, but there was a small number of older experts.
Swish!
Su Mo flew outside the water curtain formation, stopped, and turned to scan the countless martial artists.
Thoughtfully, he said in a clear voice, “Tomorrow, I will open the main gate of the Firmament Palace and recruit many disciples. As long as you pass the examination, you can become a member of the Firmament Palace!”
It was about time to expand the Firmament Palace. Su Mo was ready to formally recruit disciples starting tomorrow.
” Yeah!”
“Palace Master Su is mighty!”
“Ha ha! I must become a disciple of the Firmament Palace to glorify and illuminate the ancestors!”
As Su Mo’s voice fell, a great cry suddenly sounded around him, inspiring countless people.
“Palace Master Su, do you have any requirements for recruiting disciples?”
“Yes! How high are the standards? ”
A calm person immediately asked loudly. This was the key point. If the requirements were too high, not many people could pass the examination.
Things quieted down as the crowd waited for Su Mo to answer.
“About the specific requirements, you will find out tomorrow. Everybody, please come back tomorrow!” Su Mo told them in a clear voice that he had not considered the criteria for recruiting disciples so he had to go back to discuss them carefully.
Having said that, he opened the large Water Curtain Formation and flew into the Firmament Palace.
