Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 2688
Chapter 2688 Assaulting Zi Xiao
Rumble!!
There was a shocking explosion as the trio’s attacks suddenly collided with the massive Palm Print.
The staggering explosion was made with boundless force, which struck the endless pool of blood and emptied the surrounding area.
Whoosh!
The powerful impact forced Su Mo, Ling Chang, and Lin Ya retreat uncontrollably by over a thousand feet.
Ling Chang and Lin Ya were not as strong as Su Mo. Their faces had gone pale and perhaps lacked blood flow, but they were otherwise uninjured.
“Where’s he?” Su Mo scanned his surroundings but saw no one. Their attacker had vanished.
“He’s gone!” Lin Ya said with a grave look on her face. That person was too powerful. Even if they joined forces, they could not possibly restrain him.
Even if they joined forces, they could not beat him.
“Whoever he is, he’s obviously very sure of his plight and dares not reveal his hiding place, so he escaped in a hurry after one move, regardless of the result!” Ling Chang said softly.
“Perhaps, but we’re not powerful enough. Even if we can chase after him, we shouldn’t,” said Su Mo. This was a strong opponent. They would face great danger if they happened to come across him.
The top powers of the Supreme Realm were impressive indeed!
“Juniors Su Mo, Ling Chang, let’s split up here. Please stay alert!” said Lin Ya. It was impossible for them to chase after the figure just now. She had to look for opportunities elsewhere.
“Take care, Senior!”
“Stay safe, Senior!”
Su Mo and Ling Chang both wished her well.
“Rest assured, I will!” Lin Ya nodded and left, disappearing from sight after a few moments. “Su Mo, I’m leaving too!” Ling Chang approached Su Mo and said, staring at him with beady eyes.
“Be careful, and stay safe. Don’t force yourself if things don’t go well!” Su Mo solemnly advised. To be honest, he was still a little worried about her safety.
So he hoped she could act according to her capabilities. It did not matter if she could not get the token and failed to become a disciple of the headquarters.
For now, they had Reverend Jin Wu as their kind teacher, and Lord Fa Wu as their powerful Master. They already had great backing. Getting into the headquarters was just adding icing on the cake.
“Got it! You too. Di Yihun and Zi Xiao might not even get a token!” Ling Chang nodded and consoled Su Mo as well.
If they could not become disciples of the headquarters, as long as Zi Xiao and Di Yihun also failed, then there would not be an issue.
“Right!” Su Mo strongly nodded. And then, Ling Chang left too, disappearing among the blood. Su Mo sighed and flew forward after a brief pause.
He was much careful this time to avoid another assault. After all, his strength was relatively weak compared to that of anyone from the Supreme Realm.
Su Mo flew in the direction that the person from the Supreme Realm might have fled in. Although he did not qualify as the person’s opponent , he might be able to find a chance.
Boundless blood drifted around him. There was energy in the air, its pressure forceful. In order to resist that, he had to trigger his Source Power for protection, making it difficult to hide himself well.
After flying for a while, Su Mo arrived at the lungs of the Space Beast. He flew out of one trachea and began to wander in the open heart. “Where could they be hiding?”
“The top powers of the Supreme Realm wholeheartedly want to hide. Looking for them won’t be easy!”
“I heard two disciples from the Beixuan Branch have been killed!”
Su Mo met many others along the way. Their low whispers drifted into his ears.
Many disciples traveled with partners or in packs. They obviously knww that the top powers of the Supreme Realm could not be underestimated and thus they did not dare to look for them alone.
Su Mo kept flying in the belly of the Space Beast. He wandered for half an hour but had yet to find any other Supreme Realm top powers with tokens, and had yet to meet anyone else who found those top powers.
“Where’d they be hiding?”
Su Mo pondered. The body of the Space Beast was simply too large. It had numerous blood vessels, meridians, trachea, intestines and so on.
The thirty of them must have hidden in extremely secret places that were not easily spotted, like in the blood vessels, with blood pressure to act as cover. “Fine, I’ll stop searching for the tokens for now. Maybe I’ll look for Zi Xiao and see if I can kill off this Space Beast!” Su Mo changed his strategy after considering it for a moment.
He thought perhaps Zi Xiao might have known that Tai Ying Sovereign had studied the Life-and-Death Path.
If Zi Xiao really knew about this, then he would surely want to become Tai Ying Sovereign’s apprentice. Then his biggest goal would be to defeat the Space Beast.
So if Su Mo found the creature’s Beast Soul, he would most probably find Zi Xiao too.
Tai Ying Sovereign must have suppressed the Beast Soul within the Space Beast’s sea of consciousness. Su Mo was pretty sure of this.
Otherwise, no one could kill off the Beast Soul, because no one could fight it.
As he thought about it, Su Mo immediately changed direction and flew towards the Space Beast’s head where the sea of conciousness was located.
Su Mo had little desire to seek mentorship from Tai Ying Sovereign, but he would not reject the idea. If he could study under the Sovereign, then he would become a disciple of the headquarters, which was the same as finding a token.
Su Mo passed through the trachea and blood vessels and finally arrived at the Space Beast’s sea of consciousness.
It stretched to be millions of miles in size.
A huge, black, ghostly shadow of the Beast Soul, about several thousand miles in length, could be found at the centre.
Millions of runes were attached to the Beast Soul, obviously suppressed by extraordinary
means.
As many as tens of thousands of people had gathered around the Beast Soul and were attacking it frantically. It struggled and bellowed against the attacks.
Rumble!
Various attacks were performed on the beast soul, each as blazing as the next and striking one after another. The constant turbulence made the Space Beast’s sea of consciousness vigorously surge and storm about.
“There’s so many people!” Su Mo exclaimed in shock. It seemed that the offer to study under Tai Ying Sovereign was so attractive that many of them had chosen to come here first instead of searching for tokens.
Next, Su Mo looked everywhere in search of Zi Xiao.
Sure enough, he managed to locate Zi Xiao. The man was attacking the Beast Soul above the brain.
“I won’t let you escape this time!”
Su Mo’s killing intent instantly leveled as he approached the man, getting ready to strike him with thunder.
“The Space Beast’s Beast Soul can’t be killed!”
“Yes! There’s so many of us and we’ve been going at it for so long, yet nothing seems to stir
it!”
“That’s not right. The Beast Soul is big, but there are many of us. It shouldn’t be impossible to kill it.”
“Not only is it near impossible to kill, but it doesn’t seem to be damaged at all. Its vitality is eerily strong!”
Numerous comments abounded, filling the space with noise. Many creased their brows tightly because they could not kill the Beast Soul at all.
It stood to reason that, although the strength of the Space Beast was comparable to that of the Great Completion Supreme Realm, the defence of the Beast Soul was not very strong. But the current situation showed that the Beast Soul was simply invulnerable and impenetrable.
Su Mo glanced at the Beast Soul. The Beast Soul might have been roaring with all its might as it was being attacked, but its aura had barely been diminished and its vitality remained super vigorous, which just showed how powerful it was.
Without further delay, Su Mo quickly advanced towards Zi Xiao and very soon was less than a hundred miles behind the man.
Right then, Zi Xiao who had been attacking the Beast Soul, seemed to be on alert. He stopped his attack.
“Die!” Su Mo did not hesitate and gave a shot. An unbearably sharp Chaotic Sword Qi spurred towards Zi Xiao, like a bottomless, pointy arrow, billowing with terrifying might.
Su Mo did not use the ‘Chaotic Rotating Sword’ long-range attack because, although it would have been harder for Zi Xiao to avoid that one, there were far too many people around him that could easily get in the way.
“Su Mo!” Zi Xiao’s expression sank when he realized Su Mo’s presence just as the sword Qi was coming at him.
