Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo was shocked. He had not experienced such intense emotions for years.

He had actually devoured someone else’s Rules as his own. This alone was unimaginable.

“Is it because of the Vastness Purple Qi?” Su Mo’s face was slightly flushed as he speculated. In the past, his Devouring Primordial Spirit had not had the ability to devour another person’s Rule.

He devoured with the Vastness Purple Qi now, so it must have been because of that.

The Vastness Purple Qi itself did not possess the devouring ability. He had to use his Devouring Rule to trigger it, and that came from the Devouring Primordial Spirit.

Su Mo was basically certain that, under the influence of the Vastness Purple Qi, the Devouring Power had not only been strengthened, but also possessed the ability to devour another person’s Rule.

This skill was unbelievable, more so than devouring another person’s Blood Physique and Martial Soul when he first started.

His Devouring Rule came from the Devouring Primordial Spirit, which was unique and unprecedented. Even if the Boundary Spirit of the Vastness Purple Qi could be found in other Great Worlds, they would not have this ability.

Su Mo was beyond excited. It seemed he only knew a little bit of the Vastness Purple Qi’s mysteries. What other secrets awaited him would have to be slowly unravelled in time to come.

Su Mo devoured the attainments of the Ice Rule into his body, stored in his sea of consciousness, before setting off again.

The sea of consciousness was where the Spiritual Soul resides, or rather where the Primordial Spirit resides. But for now Su Mo only had one Primordial Spirit in his.

The two Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirits, Ancient Dream Primordial Spirit, and Tuoba Liuming were all in the devouring void.

Su Mo might have separated the Spiritual Soul from the Devouring Primordial Spirit but the Spiritual Soul could still enter the devouring void. So these Primordial Spirits were stored there for now.

He kept thinking as he flew. With the attainments of the Ice Rule, he could increase his abilities by a lot. At the very least he had gained another means.

Without the attainments of the Ice Rule, he could not trigger other Primordial Spirits. Although the Vastness Purple Qi could provide explosive power, it was not suitable to be used casually. What if other people found out he had Vastness Purple Qi?

He should not reveal his trump card until he got a lot stronger. That would be the best solution.

However, since he could devour Rules, that meant he did not have to spend so much time studying them. If you encountered other people like the one he had just killed, he could steal their Rules.

Overjoyed, he continued his journey. Not long later, Su Mo spotted a huge mountain just ahead.

It was incredibly big, much like the Chaotic Ancient Mountain. Its peaks disappeared amongst the clouds, like the towering Archean Mountain.

More surprisingly, lightning flashed and thunder struck while lights shone radiantly as roaring storms and raging winds were all causing catastrophe within a thousand miles of the entire area covered by the Myriad Holy Mountain. It was absolutely amazing.

It was Source Energy!

Endless Source Energy converged from all directions towards the Myriad Holy Mountain and transformed into Source Energy of various attributes.

There was the fiery-red Fire-Based Energy, the golden Metal-Based Energy, as the Thunder-Based Energy, among others.

“Where’s Chaotic Energy?” Su Mo stared wide-eyed at the Myriad Holy Mountain. Various attributes of Source Energy raged over the mountain, but there was no sign of Chaotic Energy.

But Su Mo was not disappointed. If he could find the Five-Elements Energy, he could use that too.

“I wonder what mysteries are held here?” Su Mo took a deep breath and flew towards the Myriad Holy Mountain. If the mountain only had loads of Source Energy and nothing else, he would be disappointed.

To him, there was no difference whether he devoured Dawn Stones or Source Energy.

Before long, Su Mo approached the Myriad Holy Mountain and entered the stream of Chaotic Energy.

The Myriad Holy Mountain was shrouded in an invisible array. One could only enter the mountain through the gate.

Su Mo came to the entrance. A middle-aged man sat guarding the gate.

He might have known Su Mo was a disciple of the Palmy Branch, because he did not stop him from going in.

.

Su Mo successfully entered the Myriad Holy Mountain. He found that the mountain was like a honeycomb, filled with numerous caves.

All the Source Energy entering the Myriad Holy Mountain flowed into different caves.

“So that’s how it is!” Su Mo took in everything in sight as he ventured in the mountain. He already had basic knowledge of this location.

He walked into a cave. The cave was red, emanating fire-based power, obviously containing a large amount of Fire-Based Energy.

In the cave was a large stone chamber about a hundred square feet in size. A large pool was built inside, filled with Fire-Based Energy.

But the Fire-Based Energy here had become liquid, akin to magma, which was pretty amazing. Its fire-based power was enough to melt common sacred weapons.

Right then and there, hundreds of people were sitting around the pool, absorbing its Fire-Based Liquid.

“Oh my… this is actually liquid!” Su Mo said, surprised. The Myriad Holy Mountain was not as simple as he had thought. Absorbing this liquid would be more effective than absorbing those Dawn Stones.

If he kept training here, he would have more to gain with half the effort.

But not everyone could train here. Those who had not made it to the True God Realm could not enter, for the terrifying temperatures could have melted them.

No one noticed Su Mo’s arrival as they were all hard at work absorbing the limited amount of Fire-Based Liquid. Too many people would mean there would not be enough Source Liquid to go around.

Numerous arrays were hidden within the mountain, constantly transforming the Source Energy. There were many disciples from the Palmy Branch too, so there would be an ample of Source Liquid when fewer people visited, but not so much when there were more people looking for resources.

“Not bad!” Su Mo said, satisfied, as he strode into the pool. He was certainly not going home empty-handed.

This cave contained Fire-Based Liquid, while Source Liquid of other properties could be found in other caves.

As he entered the pool, he was immediately enveloped by the surging Fire-Based Liquid, but he was strong and protected by Chaotic Power Energy, so he was not harmed.

Even his clothes were covered by layers of Chaotic Power Energy so as not to be melted by the Fire-Based Liquid.

Sitting in the pool, the Fire-Based Liquid reached Su Mo’s lower abdomen. He quickly triggered the Devouring Rule.

He no longer cared if anyone else knew he could do this. He was just devouring Source Liquid. It should not have been a big deal.

Gurgle~

With the Devouring Rule in motion, Su Mo’s body seemed to have become a bottomless pit. The Fire-Based Liquid in the pool poured into his body like glue.

The Fire-Based Liquid was very pure, perhaps many times purer than the energy found in Fire-Based Dawn Stones.

Gurgle~

In-between two breaths, Su Mo managed to absorb one quarter of the Fire-Based Liquid in the pool. Perhaps in no less then ten breaths, he would devour all of it.

“What?”

“You can absorb Source Liquid?”

“Oh my gosh, are you taking them all?”

The other hundreds of Palmy Branch disciples in the pool were shocked to see this. They glared at Su Mo, apparently dumbfounded.

If this went on, the Fire-Based Liquid would be sucked dry very soon. Then how could they continue training?

“You! Stop it this instant!”

A tall young man in yellow robes rose and glared at Su Mo.

“Why?” Su Mo peered at him.

“What do you suppose we use if you take up all the Source Liquid?” the man in yellow questioned him.

“No one’s stopping you. Anyone can absorb as much Source Liquid as they can,” Su Mo said flatly. He understood that if he absorbed all the Fire-Based Liquid, there would be none left for other people. But he had to become stronger, and that meant he could not think about others all the time.

Like he had said, anyone could absorb as much Source Liquid as they could.

In truth, he had already slowed down his devouring speed. Otherwise, he would have absorbed everything in an instant.

“You…!” the tall young man got angry but was unable to retort. The Myriad Holy Mountain belonged to the Palmy Branch, and every one of its disciples with enough training could come here to take in the Source Liquid.

“You should leave some for us, at the very least,” he said. He had no right to stop Su Mo, since his training was not as high, so he only offered some advice.

“Pardon me, it’s all gone!” Su Mo shook his head and got up. He had devoured all the Fire-Based Liquid in the pool.

There was a mysterious array in the pool .It was still slowly releasing Fire-Based Liquid.

After that, Su Mo exitted the pool and headed outside.

The rest of the people watched him leave. Who was this man? Had he directly absorbed the Energy? How had he done that?

After leaving the cave with fire-based elements, Su Mo entered another cave with wood-based attributes. He had just devoured a large amount of pure Fire-Based Energy. All he needed to do was to devour the four other Energy of different properties to refine Chaotic Energy.

The Source Energy he had found was so pure that he believed it could take his current level on the brink of breakthrough all the way up to Grade Eight, High Rank.
