Warrior's Promise

The entire area had been destroyed and Su Mo disappeared out of everybody’s sight.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ji Yuesong and the other gifted geniuses retreated to the side of the platform. The energy in their bodies surged as they activated their forces to fend against the shockwaves.

The shockwaves were frightening as they comprised the attacks of the six geniuses.

“Where is Duan Jingtian?”

“Has he been killed?”

“Probably. How can he possibly stay alive under such powerful attacks!”

The martial artists who were watching the fight were eagerly looking at the platform.

Su Mo had disappeared into the shockwaves and the martial artists reckoned that he had been killed..

However, everybody widened their eyes at the next instant.

A dazzling streamer shot out of the terrifying shockwaves and it was heading toward Ji Yuesong and the four geniuses.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A sharp sword radiance followed after that and it tore the shockwaves apart, slashing down hard on the five geniuses.

“What?”

“Oh no!”

“How can this be?”

When Ji Yuesong and the four geniuses saw that Su Mo was near them, they were astonished.

The minute the Sword Qi shot out of Su Mo, it was already before the five geniuses, giving them no opportunity to fend it off.

Ji Yuesong and the four geniuses had been too careless. They had expected Su Mo to be defeated by their attacks but instead, he had made a mighty counterattack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There were explosions when the mighty Sword Qi hit Ji Yuesong and the other geniuses.

Fortunately, the five of them were fending off the shockwaves and there was a strong defense power around them. That had saved their lives.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

The five of them cried out as they were unable to fend off the Sword Qi. They were thrown out and all of them were bleeding. Some were seriously injured and they almost flew out of the Ancient City.

Su Mo came to a halt, and his body was shining brightly. He stayed still and allowed the shockwaves to hit his body.

I never expected them to be easily defeated! Su Mo shook his head. He had expected himself to spend some time dealing with the five of them.

However, he had defeated them with one blow.

He knew that the five of them were careless as they did not know that he possessed the Chaotic Immortal Body.

The attacks of the five geniuses were indeed powerful. Su Mo could not withstand the power and his body almost collapsed.

However, he was unaffected due to his Chaotic Immortal Body. After the aggressive attacks, the shockwaves were unable to harm him.

Rumble!

The force burst and swirled around the platform before it dispersed.

Soon, the platform became peaceful.

The area was dead silent as everyone was stunned.

Duan Jingtian has won! In one round of attacks, he defeated the five gifted geniuses!

Hiss!

Many martial artists gasped. They were astounded and at the same time, baffled.

How is this possible?

How did Duan Jingtian manage to remain unscathed after the powerful attacks of the five geniuses?

This is illogical!

The attacks are powerful and it is impossible for Duan Jingtian to fend against them. He should have been blasted by the attacks!

Ji Yuesong and the four geniuses were dumbstruck. They stopped in the air and stared blankly at Su Mo.

The five of them were injured. There was a deep cut on Ji Yuesong’s chest and he was bleeding badly.

“How did he manage to fend off the attacks!?”

“It is impossible for him to fend off the attacks!”

“He’s unscathed! How is this possible!”

The five of them were shocked. They would not have been caught off-guard and been badly beaten if they had not presumed that Duan Jingtian was dead.

“Gentlemen, thank you for letting me win!” Su Mo put away his sword and cupped his fist at the five of them.

He had completed the nine rounds of fight.

Ji Yuesong and the four geniuses looked pale and they did not say a word.

They felt bitter about their defeat. If they had been cautious, they would not have been badly beaten.

However, all of them were gifted geniuses. Since they had been defeated, there was no point arguing about it.

Buzz!

Suddenly, something strange happened. A ray of golden light shot out of the eyes of the illusory image of the Sovereign and shone on Su Mo.

“Eh?” Su Mo was stunned. Before he could come to himself, he was covered by the golden light and he disappeared from the area.

“Duan Jingtian has obtained the top position and he has gone to receive the blessings from the Sovereign!”

“He deserves it. However, I am curious how he manages to fend off the attacks of the five gifted geniuses!”

“I am so envious of him!”

The martial artists whispered among themselves. Some of them were impressed, some were envious, and some of them were jealous of Duan Jingtian.

Chu Yan was jealous of Duan Jingtian. The mightier Duan Jingtian proved himself to be, the more jealous and unhappy Chu Yan became.

Congratulations! Qin’er exclaimed in her heart. Her father must be pleased with Duan Jingtian’s performance.

However, when Qin’er saw Duan Jingtian’s talent and strength, she could not help comparing herself with him.

She was speechless and she felt that she was too weak.

“Sigh!” Luo Yu sighed. Previously, she had regarded Ji Yuesong as a gifted genius. Even if some other geniuses were more powerful than him, she still felt that they would not be too far apart.

However, her mindset changed drastically this day. She realized that all of them, including Ji Yuesong, were ordinary martial artists.

Only Duan Jingtian was truly a genius.

Elder Xuan Tian stood outside the Ancient City and he was smiling. The disciples did not know the skill that Duan Jingtian had displayed but he knew.

Duan Jingtian had displayed the Chaotic Immortal Body.

That proved that Duan Jingtian had cultivated the Chaotic God Emperor’s orthodox practice, which was the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill.

Other than Elder Xuan Tian, the other five elders recognized the skill as well.

“Elder Xuan Tian, is Duan Jingtian from the Chaotic Holy Court?” Elder Yao from Earth Palace asked with a frown.

Duan Jingtian was powerful and he had cultivated the Chaos God Emperor’s orthodox practice. He had to be from the Chaotic Holy Court!

“Of course not!” Elder Xuan Tian shook his head and replied, “Do you think a genius from the Chaotic Holy Court will join Human Palace?”

“This...!” Elder Yao was silent. It did not seem logical for a genius from the Chaotic Holy Court to join Human Palace.

Even if it was for the sake of receiving the blessings from the Sovereign, it did not make sense at all.

After all, the Sovereign was no longer around. It would be difficult for Human Palace to attract a genius from the Chaotic Holy Court on the basis of receiving the blessings.

The Chaos God Emperor was still alive and he had merely gone to the end of the world. He would make occasional trips back to the Chaotic Holy Court.

Elder Tian Youwei from Heavenly Palace did not say a word and he was deep in thought. Duan Jingtian had a dubious background and he had to do a check on him.

Duan Jingtian is a genius and he may change the situation of the Reincarnation Holy Court.

On the platform.

After Su Mo disappeared, the fight started after a while.

Although Su Mo had obtained the top position, the rest of the geniuses had to fight it out to get their respective rankings.

...

After Su Mo was covered by the golden light, the area around him churned and he came to a world that seemed to be made of gold.

Where am I? Su Mo was baffled. Is this the place where I will be receiving my blessing?

“You are the third person!”

Suddenly, a deep voice resounded in Su Mo’s ears.

“Eh?” Su Mo was shocked when he heard the voice. He looked around immediately and saw a figure standing in front of him.

The figure looked indistinct, like an illusory image. Su Mo could not see his face or shape.

He gradually walked toward the figure but to his amazement, the figure remained far from him regardless of the distance that he walked.

“Who are you?” Su Mo asked with a grave look after he stopped walking.

“I am you!” The figure replied.

“Are you the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign?” Su Mo widened his eyes in amazement when he heard what the figure had said.

“You can address me as the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign!” The figure replied.

Su Mo was silent and he was thinking on his feet. He knew that the figure was not the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign’s actual body.

It could be a remnant of his soul or his replica.

“Elder, you have mentioned that I am the third person. Do you mean Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun were here previously?” Su Mo asked.

Since he had the opportunity to meet the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign, he had to ask the questions that had been bugging him.

“Yes!”

The Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign nodded and his body spun. He continued and said, “Since you are here, you are fit to take on heavy responsibilities!”

“What responsibilities?” Su Mo asked curiously.
