Chapter 356: Insane Elevation
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Hu Yuanlong and the rest stood outside Skygale Valley, quietly waiting for the wind within the valley to ease off as much as possible.
“These people are still unwilling to leave!” Jiang Xian said while shooking his head and smiling as he glanced at the dozens of people in the sky who hadn’t left.
“Forget it, just ignore them. Many of them are owners of superpowers. We should not push it too far and avoid attracting the powerful ones” Li Hai said.
They all nodded in agreement, then Hu Yuanlong said, “We’ll go in first, even if they follow behind, they won’t be able to find any treasures. Let them be then!”
SWISH!
While this conversation was taking place, Yuwen Jun, who was on the hill not far away, suddenly shot directly into Skygale Valley like a sharp sword poking into the valley.
They were all taken aback.
“The wind isn’t at its weakest yet, but regardless Yuwen Jun went in!” Jiang Xian exclaimed.
Although the wind within Skygale Valley had started to debilitate, its power still remained enormous, posing a big threat to the average martial artist with a half step to the Enlightenment Realm.
This sudden rush by Yu Wenjun not even thinking about the wind left them stunned.
They gave each other a grim look thinking the same thing: If Yuwen Jun was ahead of them, they might not be able to get anything!
However, being their strength slightly weaker than Yuwen Jun’s, it might be dangerous for them to try and catch up with him now.
SWISH! SWISH!
Despite the danger, the thought of the 10,000-year Stalactite made all their fear vanish and they also dashed into the valley without hesitation.
Even though it might seem like they acted recklessly, they had made their own considerations before jumping in; although the wind remained strong, in the outer area it would be harmless to them, and by the time they were deep into the valley, the wind would have already eased off.
As soon as they entered, sharp blades of wind gushed toward them.
Hu Yuanlong and the rest activated their Genuine Vitality to form an air shield and block the wind blades.
However, they were sharp and when they struck their air shields, ripples were formed. Some of the larger wind blades even cut into the air shield.
They reacted as best as they could by exerting more of their Genuine Vitality to strengthen the air shield while trying their best to dodge the powerful wind blades.
Their small group went against the wind and slowly made their way into the valley.
Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, the crowd of talented ones who were still hanging around saw Hu Yuanlong and the rest going into Skygale Valley and they instantly started to fly toward the valley.
After a few breaths, they arrived at Skygale Valley’s entrance again.
“They’ve already entered, let’s go in too!” One of them said.
“The wind is too strong right now, we’ll definitely die!” Everyone shook their head, and
then someone said, “Let’s wait for a while! They may be strong, but against such strong wind, they can’t go far.”
Thus, they continued to wait for the wind to become weaker.
At the same time, a few hundred miles away in a cave:
Su Mo’s body was shrouded in a dazzling golden light whilst blood surrounded him. A dozen corpses in front of him were gradually withering as all their blood essence gushed toward him.
Several gigantic elephant-like shadows continuously appeared around Su Mo and roared silently.
After a few moments, both the shadows and the blood silently disappeared.
The golden light on Su Mo’s body became so bright it was blinding.
He squeezed his palm and the air exploded.
“Level Eight of Elephant’s Strength Skill is finally completed!” Su Mo said with a smile on his face.
That dozen corpses had enabled his body strength to soar. The completion of Level Eight of Elephant’s Strength Skill enabled his physical strength to be comparable to the power of martial artists at Peak Lv 6, coming close Lv 7.
He chose to focus on empowering his physical strength instead of elevating his cultivation just because enhancing his body strength was far more faster and simpler.
Recently, his cultivation had suffered several improvements, so if he was to continue strengthening his cultivation, it would be difficult to break through again in a short time, and with snatching the 10,000-year Stalactite in Skygale Valley being his top priority, Su Mo could not be delayed further.
CRASH!
Su Mo waved his arm and a small hill of Spiritual Stones and Herbs appeared.
This was a huge sum of Spiritual Stones: over 12 million Lower Spiritual Stones, over 30,000 Medium Spiritual Stones, and over 100 Spiritual Herbs.
30,000 Medium Spiritual Stones were equivalent to over 30 million Lower Spiritual Stones, in addition to the 10 million Lower Spiritual Stones, the total would be equivalent to over 40 million Lower Spiritual Stones.
To an average True Spirit Realm martial artist, this massive volume of Spiritual Stones was definitely a huge fortune.
Looking at the mountainous Spiritual Stones, Su Mo’s eyes flashed with excitement.
“Burst!” With a loud cry, he activated his Devouring Martial Soul. The vast pile of Spiritual Stones was lifted and bursted simultaneously, with massive Spiritual Qi flowing toward him.
ROAR!
Su Mo’s body was once again shrouded in golden light as the gigantic elephant-like shadows appeared again and roared silently.
However, this time something was different: their bodies were covered with a layer of pale golden scales, looking more powerful and domineering.
At the same time, a vast, ancient aura surrounded the shadows, filling the surroundings.
As time passed, Su Mo’s physical strength raised even more.
When over half of this massive amount of Spiritual Qi was consumed, Su Mo’s Elephant’s Strength Skill finally reached the pinnacle of Early 9th Stage. His physical strength was now comparable to the power of an average martial artist at the peak of Lv 7.
The first to the third stage of Elephant’s Strength Skill mainly enhanced his strength.
The fourth to the sixth stages were for tempering his bones.
Finally, the seventh to the ninth stages were for strengthening his physical body.
With the ninth stage of Elephant’s Strength Skill, Su Mo was not only as strong as an ancient beast, but his physical defense was also horrifyingly solid. An ordinary martial artist of the same level might not even be able to break it.
With that skill achieved, Su Mo ceased cultivating his physical body, because it had already surpassed his cultivation by two realms. If he continued, it was likely that his body would once again absorb his Genuine Vitality.
Therefore, he began to practice the Nirvana Cultivation Method and cultivate his Genuine Vitality.
“Charge!” Su Mo shouted loudly as he opened his eyes wide, insanely absorbing Spiritual Qi into his body to charge toward Lv 6 True Spirit Realm.
Although his cultivation had rocketed recently, which caused his foundation to be unstable, he still couldn’t manage a lot of energy, so he still had to enhance his cultivation.
Other talented on the List of Top 100 Talents of bigger and stronger domains surpassed him by far in strength. If he could not improve greatly, he would not be able to get anything out of the Firmament Divine Realm.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A massive amount of Spiritual Qi was refined and assimilated into nine Spiritual Spirals.
The nine Spiritual Spirals swirled more and more strongly; Su Mo had reached Lv 5 True Spirit Realm’s limit, but he could not surpass it.
“Charge!Charge!Charge!” Su Mo roared in his heart as he desperately refined more and more his Spiritual Qi, bound to break through the bottleneck.
The huge Devouring Martial Spirit hovered behind him, and the black vortex rapidly evolved, Su Mo had driven it to the extreme.
At this moment, among the dark vortex, there were a large number of martial souls floating, such as Saber Martial Soul, Sword Martial Soul, Tree Martial Soul, Grass Martial Soul, and Rocky Martial Soul, Hill Martial Soul etc.
They were all of high ranks, at least Rank Five or Six Earth Class, and the rank was not any lower than the fire Martial Souls from Red Flame Sect.
Even though those dozens of Martial Souls were devoured earlier, Su Mo’s Martial Soul was not promoted and still remained at Rank 4 Earth Class.
He had brought them there in order to absorb the Spiritual Qi as quickly as possible.
However, although Su Mo’s willpower was very strong, he could only activate five Martial Souls at the same time. Anything more than that, he would feel dizzy and wouldn’t be able to stand it.
As time slowly passed, the cave fell into complete silence, and soon 30 minutes passed.
At this moment, a majestic genuine Qi wave swept out of the cave to form a blasting wave in the air.
RUMBLE!
The cave collapsed instantly under the impact of this air blast.
Shortly after, the gravel cracked and a young figure emerged from the mountain breaking through the rocks.
It was Su Mo, he finally stepped into Lv 6 True Spirit Realm, and even jumped straight to Late Lv 6, increasing his strength greatly.
If coupled with the explosive increase in his physical strength, Su Mo’s strength had changed tremendously within this short period of training.
“Fang Qingyun, Hu Yuanlong, since you guys want to pocket the 10,000-year Stalactite, I’ll make your efforts useless, like trying to gather water with a sieve!” Su Mo said sneering and dashed with lighting speed toward Skygale Valley.
