Elder Xue Tan's blood Qi grew to the extreme after releasing his Martial Soul.
"Boy, this old man won't let you live today!"
Elder Xue Tan yelled thunderously, his killing desire was so intense it felt like it could almost be touched.
Having said that, he was actually still thinking about the situation.
Su Mo was too ungodly, not to mention his unbelievably tough defense. If Xue Tan couldn't kill him in the next few moves, the Elder would have to retreat immediately and gather the experts of Red Blood Branch to kill his enemy instead.
"The same can be said for you, I won't let you live either!"
Su Mo said coldly as he exerted his Devouring Martial Soul. However, although Elder Xue Tan's blood Qi was enormous, it didn't affect him at all.
After all, the level of his cultivation was too high, so his control of Vital Spirit and blood Qi was beyond a regular True Spirit Realm martial artist.
Su Mo drawed back his Devouring Martial Soul, and a black sword Martial Soul instantly appeared instead.
This black sword had an astounding number of seven purple halos, meaning it's at Rank 7 Earth Class, even higher than Su Mo's Devouring Martial Soul.
Su Mo had devoured this Martial Soul in the Firmament Divine Realm.
Since his Devour Martial Soul had zero effect against Elder Xue Tan, he decided to use a Sword Martial Soul which was more compatible with himself and worked on his enemy.
With this Sword Martial Soul active, Su Mo's sword power rose sharply. Fierce sword Qi surrounded him as his sword burst into the sky.
He now was like an unsheathed divine weapon with a peerless sharpness.
'What?"
Elder Xue Tan's eyes were wide-open from astonishment when he saw Su Mo bring out a second Martial Soul.
"How could you possibly have two Martial Souls?"
Elder Xue Tan asked roaring from the tremendous shock.
Each person could only have one Martial Soul, and that was the unwritten law of Firmament and Continent. He'd never seen anyone with two Martial Souls.
Peerless geniuses from the post-archean era with two or even more Martial Souls only existed in the legends. Those with two Martial Souls were called Twin Martial Souls, while those with three Martial Souls were called Threefold Martial Soul.
However, those geniuses were as rare as hen's teeth even during the post-archean era!
But now, Su Mo actually had two Martial Souls, meaning that he was one of those legendary geniuses.
Elder Xue Tan was having the shock of his life. Twin Martial Souls, Su Mo actually had Twin Martial Souls!
The Martial Souls that Su Mo had devoured were floating in the depths of the Devouring Martial Soul Vortex. Hence, even if he released the Devouring Martial Soul, the other Martial Souls would not be revealed unless he intended to.
While Elder Xue Tan was still in a shock, three more Sword Martial Souls appeared behind Su Mo with a purple flash.
They were all Rank 6 Earth Class Martial Souls, slightly lower in rank than the previous one.
What?
Elder Xue Tan's pupils constricted to the size of a needle tip when he saw that.
His mind was rumbling as if it had been struck by lightning.
With the four Sword Martial Souls and that vortex Martial Soul with devouring powers, Su Mo had five different Martial Souls!
Fivefold Martial Soul?
How's that possible?
Elder Xue Tan was so dumbfounded that he fell into a daze. He was certain that in the post-archean era, or even in the eras before that, weren't capable of producing a genius with Fivefold Martial Soul, because that was completely unimaginable.
But now that Su Mo released five Martial Souls, he had to believe it!
Some of the disciples of Gale Island below who were spectating the battle, as well as the experts battling nearby, were also dazed to see this.
After releasing four more Sword Martial Souls, Su Mo's sword power rocketed again, reaching a terrifying level.
Since he was no longer just an insignificant Outer Disciple of Gale Island, Su Mo had no fear and didn't care about revealing the ungodly secrets of his Devouring Martial Soul.
"Die!"
"Infinite Universe!"
After a fierce yell, Su Mo bolted toward Elder Xue Tan like a lightning and brandished his sword to unleash a five-colored sword Qi over a thousand meters long.
"Break!"
Elder Xue Tan finally regained composure when the five-colored sword Qi was about to hit him. He clawed at it with a bursting claw radiance.
Rumble!
The claw radiance and sword Qi exploded upon collision, creating a shockwave that spread across miles around them.
Surprisingly, instead of backing up as expected, Su Mo charged against the shockwave straight toward Elder Xue Tan.
The violent shockwave couldn't stop Su Mo at all, and he was next to Elder Xue Tan in no time.
A close combat!
In order to spend the least time possible batling Elder Xue Tan, Going into a close combat was the best option for Su Mo.
"Slash!"
He raised his sword high to quickly strike downward with an intense sword Qi, concentrating on Elder Xue Tan all his terrifying sword power.
Elder Xue Tan's face changed, he wanted to dodge this monstrously strong strike. However, Su Mo's mighty sword power seemed to have frozen the space around him.
He could for sure dodge the sword, but he couldn't guarantee that he could do it in time.
"Blood God Sky-tearing Claw!"
As Elder Xue Tan yelled angrily, his palm somehow grew bigger at a visible rate, soon becoming a mill-sized beast claw covered with sanguine scales.
He then attacked Su Mo's sword with that.
Clang!
An ear-deafening sound was produced by the collision.
Su Mo's body stopped and he took a couple steps back, while Elder Xue Tan was sent flying for over a thousand meters.
As blood dripped down the corner of his mouth, Elder Xue Tan was shocked by Su Mo's strength, which with just one strike was able to badly injure him.
Swoosh!
Su Mo moved like lightning and bolted again toward him, sending an endless wave of five-colored sword Qi toward Elder Xue Tan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Elder Xue Tan tried to desperately fight back with his claw shadows, and their exchange of blows filled the surroundings with explosions.
Elder Xue Tan was already thinking of retreating since he wasn't powerful enough to kill Su Mo!
Right while he was thinking that, Su Mo flew above him.
"I'll take your life with this move!"
Su Mo roared as his sword radiance grew to several hundred meters tall, filled with dense five-colored sword Qi and his razor-sharp sword will.
Elephant shadows appeared on his body again as his Qi blood displayed an incredible vigor.
Meanwhile, his body split into two, and then four.
Four copies of him brandished their swords and struck downward with a mighty sword radiance, separating the air in its path with a sharp whistle.
"What?"
Elder Xue Tan wasn't able to say anything else, overwhelmed with fear while he felt a chill going up his spine.
