Chapter 2049: He Won’t Be Very Soon
Su Mo’s expression turned heavy. He could feel that the man in front of him was stronger than Di Yihun of the Infinite Region.
Granted, this didn’t mean that Di Yihun was inferior to the man.
After all, who knew what cultivation rank the two were when they had attempted the King Sage Board back in the days.
For instance, Su Mo had been a Middle Stage Martial Sage when he became the strongest King Sage since the ancient times for Infinite Region.
However, this didn’t mean that if he was replaced by someone else in the future, that person would be stronger than him.
“You are very confident, but I don’t think you are strong enough!” The tall young man said.
“One battle will show it!”
Su Mo uttered. With that, Chaotic Energy rolled off his body and a large sword appeared in his arm as blinding Sword Radiance shone through the wide s.p.a.ce.
“Not bad indeed!” The tall young man’s eyes shone brightly. He could see that Su Mo was strong, far stronger than any King Sage.
Boom boom boom!
Right at that moment, a thick energy rose from the tall young man. This energy was overwhelming and it seemed to crush everything inferior to it.
The powerful energy suppressed Su Mo, making it hard for him to breathe.
“So strong?” Su Mo was slightly surprised. The man’s aura was unrivalled.
However, despite how strong the man was, Su Mo wasn’t fearful of him.
“Break!”
With a loud shout, Su Mo acted first. He struck the large sword down heavily towards the tall young man.
This sword was a trial move that Su Mo had made but it was still strong. Vast Chaotic Sword Qi was like a thunderous clap that moved towards the young man.
“You are too weak!”
The tall young man expressionlessly raised his hand and grabbed the air.
In an instant, golden Dark Force clawed out through the Empty s.p.a.ce and grabbed a hold of the Chaotic Sword Qi, before directly scrunching it apart.
“So strong?” Su Mo was surprised. The man’s strength surpa.s.sed Di Yihun’s clone in the King Sage Hall of Infinite Region.
Granted, Su Mo had not battled against Di Yihun’s clone with his strongest strength. He had only replaced Di Yihun because the Hall Spirit thought that Su Mo had already surpa.s.sed Di Yihun.
However, Su Mo would not admit defeat to the tall young man in front of him. Raising the Winged Insect Sword highly, Su Mo displayed his strongest combat strength.
A large ma.s.s of Sword Fighting Souls were mobilized as Sword Force flooded the area and Blood Force curled in his body. Dazzling Chaotic Sword Qi was filled with the strength of a thousand Fighting Souls.
“Defeat!”
Su Mo unleashed his strongest blow towards the young man.
This sword rushed through the sky with unrivalled power, tearing the s.p.a.ce it pa.s.sed through apart.
Shoos.h.!.+
A deafening noise that sounded like thunder followed the large Chaotic Sword Qi as he neared the tall young man in an instant.
Yet, the young man remained expressionless in the face of Su Mo’s sword strike. A mirage slowly rose behind his back.
This was a large creature that was a few hundred feet tall. It looked like a human figure, a cross-legged buddha who shone with a brilliant light.
Not only that, golden light shone off the tall young man’s body and he looked like a golden sun.
At that point, the tall young man seemed to have moved out of the scope of martial artists, becoming a spirit that dominated the world.
“Heaven and Earth Buddha!” Su Mo’s eyes instantly narrowed. The man’s Fighting Soul was ranked ninth Fighting Soul on the Archean Martial Souls Board, the Heaven and Earth Buddha.
Although he had not seen that Fighting Soul before, he could confirm that the Fighting Soul was the Heaven and Earth Fighting Soul.
It was evident from the brilliant golden light and the physique of the man.
Kaboom!
The young man attacked with a straight punch forward towards the Chaotic Sword Qi.
Earth crumbled from the punch, as though the star had been split into half. A large fist filled with holy force punched out.
The fist was even stronger than a 100,000 foot tall mountain and shone with golden light as though it was made of pure gold.
The aura that dispersed from the fist was higher than the skies and deeper than the ocean, reaching an unimaginable stage of power.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, the golden fist heavily struck the Chaotic Sword Qi.
In an instant, an explosion that was like a collision between two stars shook heaven and earth.
Vast Chaotic Sword Qi instantly crumbled apart while the ma.s.sive golden fist continued on its path towards Su Mo after slicing apart the Sword Qi.
“Not good!” Su Mo exclaimed in fright as he quickly threw out the Seven-colored Glazed PaG.o.da and retreated backward without hesitation.
Bam!
As the Seven-colored Glazed PaG.o.da struck the golden fist, it was instantly thrown away by the force.
The large golden fist exploded apart as golden streaks rained down in all directions.
“You are too weak. You are not strong enough to become the strongest King Sage since ancient times in Dark Region!” The tall young man stared at Su Mo and uttered.
Su Mo had retreated backward to the far end of the wide s.p.a.ce. He reached his hand forward and retrieved the Seven-colored Glazed PaG.o.da as he stared at the tall young man in front of him. His eyebrows slowly furrowed together.
The man was too strong and his current combat strength was inferior to the man’s.
Furthermore, even if his combat strength had not been suppressed, he might not be able to win against the man.
“You have the strength of the top three and even the first. Are you going to continue?” The tall young man asked.
“I give up!” Su Mo did not hesitate to answer.
Since he wasn’t a match for the man, he would not waste his time there.
Granted, he wasn’t really going to give up there. Since he was already there, why should he give up?
It was about time to break through the Middle Stage Martial Sage Realm and become an End Stage Martial Sage.
Upon hearing Su Mo’s answer, the tall young man nodded his head and waved his robe.
All of a sudden, the ground beneath Su Mo’s feet s.h.i.+fted rapidly and he found himself outside the stone pillar in the next instant.
In the King Sage Hall, Wan Shengxiang and Lin Man jumped in shock when they saw Su Mo come out.
They had carefully surveyed the stone pillar but had not seen Su Mo’s name.
Su Mo hadn’t make it up the King Sage Board?
That was not right!
With Su Mo’s strength, how could he not make it up the King Sage Board? He should at least be at Li Hong’s rank!
The two were highly confused, Lin Man had already heard from Wan Shengxiang that Su Mo had defeated Li Hong.
As such, she was as confused as Wan Shengxiang.
“Su Mo, why aren’t you ranked on the King Sage Board?” Lin Man walked towards Su Mo and asked lightly.
She could not maintain the same att.i.tude as she had had towards Su Mo when they first met.
“I did not come here for that, my name naturally wouldn’t be listed on the board!”
Su Mo sighed aloud as he walked forward and sat down crossed-legged in the corner of the hall.
“Not here to be listed on the board?” Lin Man’s heart filled with confusion. Why was Su Mo in the stone pillar if he wasn’t here to list his name on the board.
Wan Shengxiang was also bewildered. That Su Mo was really mysterious.
As he sat down cross-legged on the floor, Su Mo wore an exasperated look. His cultivation rank had been stable for a long time. A little cultivation would allow him to enter the End Stage Martial Sage Realm.
However, that test examiner was so strong. What was his ident.i.ty?
As he thought of this, Su Mo stared at Lin Man and Wan Shengxiang and ordered, “Come here.”
Lin Man and Wan Shengxiang did not dare to object and they both walked towards Su Mo.
“Su Mo, what is it?” Wan Shengxiang smiled. Although he didn’t like Su Mo, he wouldn’t display it.
“Who is the test examiner here?” Su Mo asked.
“It is Ye Lingtian.” Lin Man answered.
“Please tell me more about him!” Su Mo asked.
“Ye Lingtian isn’t an old figure but a King Sage who appeared about a thousand years ago. He went to G.o.d’s Path about eight hundred years ago!”
Lin Man evidently wanted to get in Su Mo’s good books as she smiled, “This man is a G.o.dly talent who has the ninth-ranked Heaven and Earth Buddha Fighting Soul listed on the Archean Martial Souls Board. He also has the tenth-ranked Ninth Combat Body on the Archean Special Body Board. Aside from that, he seems to have another Fighting Soul, although I am not sure what it is!”
“Twin Fighting Souls, Heaven and Earth Buddha, Ninth Combat Body!” Su Mo’s turned dark. He was a top talent indeed.
Whether it was the Heaven and Earth Buddha of the Ninth Combat Body, anyone who possessed either one of them would be considered a G.o.dly talent, but the man actually possessed both.
Aside from that, he also had another Fighting Soul.
“Su Mo, did you not get a taste of Ye Lingtian’s strength just now?” Wan Shengxiang asked curiously.
“I did, it is not bad!” Su Mo nodded his head slightly.
Not bad?
Wan Shengxiang and Lin Man were both shocked. Just not bad?
It seemed that Su Mo did not try Ye Lingtian’s real combat strength. Otherwise, he might not have battled or he wouldn’t just judge Ye Lingtian’s strength as ‘not bad’.
Unless, Su Mo was faking his att.i.tude.
Wan Shengxiang and Lin Man could only make wild guesses.
“Su Mo, Ye Lingtian is the strongest King Sage since the ancient times. How can he just be judged as ‘not bad’?” Wan Shengxiang smirked as he said in a scornful tone.
“He won’t be very soon!” Su Mo lightly mumbled. With that, he shut his eyes and began his cultivation.
His cultivation base was still slightly weak and it needed to be solidified a while more.
“Won’t be very soon?” Wan Shengxiang and Lin Man both jumped in surprise.
However, seeing that Su Mo had shut his eyes and began his cultivation, the two did not speak further or interrupt him.
They also wanted to attempt the King Sage Board again later.
“Senior Wan, what did Su Mo mean by that?” Lin Man sat beside Wan Shengxiang and asked.
“Junior Lin, Su Mo is very arrogant, I think he wants to challenge Ye Lingtian’s top strength!” Wan Shengxiang scoffed as he replied.
“Challenge Ye Lingtian’s top strength?” Lin Man sucked in a cold breath as she was taken aback.
Who was Ye Lingtian?
He was the strongest King Sage in Dark Region since the ancient times. Even Gongcheng Taihao was not able to defeat Ye Lingtian. Would Su Mo be able to?
Lin Man shook her head slightly. Su Mo was too ignorant to want to challenge Ye Lingtian.
