Chapter 2353: Everyone’s Goal
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“I must pa.s.s the last round!”
Gu Jianshan, who was only 25,000 feet away from the peak of the mountain, uttered with conviction. Dark Force in his body surged wildly.
He muttered to himself continuously. He led everyone and was the closest to the peak of the mountain.
In the past, even top talents had been unable to reach the peak but Gu Jianshan was determined to reach the peak.
This was not related to their cultivation ranks. The higher one’s cultivation rank, the higher the pressure from the Sword Mountain.
“Gu Jianshan, you can’t reach the peak!”
Han Sheng overheard Gu Jianshan and shouted calmly. He was behind Gu Jianshan.
He didn’t think that Gu Jianshan would be able to reach the top of the mountain because he was around.
This didn’t mean that he was much stronger than Gu Jianshan, but he wouldn’t allow Gu Jianshan to reach the top of the mountain.
This was the belief of the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace and they would not allow any other superpowers to pa.s.s the last round.
If Gu Jianshan got close to the peak, he would attack and prevent Gu JIanshan at all costs.
“You won’t be able to stop me!” Gu Jianshan uttered without turning around. He understood what Han Sheng meant.
Every Great Sword Sepulcher event, the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace would stop anyone from reaching the peak.
Granted, this was only one of the reasons. The most important reason was that it was hard to reach the peak of the Sword Mountain.
Han Sheng saw that Gu Jianshan had ignored him and he turned around to check his surroundings. Noticing that Murong Leili had not arrived, he frowned.
“Could this Murong Leili not have gathered enough Path Swords?” Han Sheng breathed a sigh. He was not worried about Gu Jianshan but was more worried about Tuoba Liuming and Yun Mu, the other Rank 4 experts.
Although the Sword Radiance one felt from the Sword Mountain rose with the increase in cultivation rank, a higher cultivation rank had its perks too.
Han Sheng was not confident against Tuoba Liuming and Yun Mu. Especially Tuoba Liuming, who was the strongest of all the experts.
As such, if Tuoba Liuming or Yun Mu neared the top of the mountain, he would need Murong Leili’s help.
With a sigh, Han Sheng continued forward and he closely followed behind Gu Jianshan.
Bam! Bam! Clang!
Loud hollow sounds continued unstoppably as Tuoba Liuming sped behind him.
Since Tuoba Liuming had arrived late, he was behind Gu Jianshan and Han Sheng. However, with his top talents and high cultivation, he had a quicker pace of advancement.
“You don’t have the qualifications to pa.s.s the last round!”
Tuoba Liuming strode forward as strong Dark Force covered his body and his aura shone out menacingly.
This time, Tuoba Liuming had the absolute confidence. He wanted to see the secret of Ultimate Sword Arts from pa.s.sing the last round.
Reach the peak of the mountain!
The peak of the mountain had never been reached by numerous talents and G.o.dly demons, including the Reincarnated Body, Tuoba Qingyun.
“Second Uncle failed, but I must finish his dream!”
Tuoba Liuming muttered to himself. Tuoba Qingyun was his second uncle and he wanted to accomplish the goal for Tuoba Qingyun.
Behind the group of top talents, Su Mo remained calm. Chaotic Energy covered his body and he destroyed the Sword Radiance below his feet.
His speed was fast and he travelled thirty thousand feet quickly. At the same time, the Sword Radiance became stronger and sharper.
Terrifying Sword Radiance tore through his Chaotic Energy and a small crack appeared in his defenses.
Granted, this Sword Radiance was not enough to completely destroy his Chaotic Energy.
At that point, Qianhuan Demon Lord was about a few thousand feet behind Su Mo.
With Qianhuan Demon Lord’s combat strength, he could actually catch up to Su Mo, but he didn’t do so.
Instead, he waited for his chance. When Su Mo reached closer to the top of the mountain and when he used his full strength to defend himself against the Sword Mountain, Radiance, that would be his time to strike.
By then, a slight attack would be sufficient to kill Su Mo.
“No matter how exceptional you are, you cannot overcome everything!” Qianhuan Demon Lord snickered coldly.
He knew that if Su Mo’s talents were known to the world, his fame would explode.
However, Qianhuan Demon Lord wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h this. Before Su Mo became famous, he would kill Su Mo.
Killing Su Mo would also not hinder him from reaching the peak of the mountain.
Time ticked by slowly and everyone who entered the Sword Mountain became determined to reach the peak of it.
No one hurried. They took their time with each step.
Only Gongsun Jia sat down cross-legged on the Sword Mountain. The aura in him surged wildly and he was evidently trying to break through to the next rank.
Fu Yuanqing was too slow as he was not talented enough.
At the back, a dozen men entered the race. However, they were not talented enough either and were about the same level as Fu Yuanqing.
Just like that, two hours pa.s.sed by and the top talents could be distinguished from the ma.s.ses.
Gu Jianshan and Han Sheng were only 250,000 feet away from the peak of the mountain. Tuoba Liuming was close behind and he lagged them by 2600 feet.
Su Mo and Yun Mu had surpa.s.sed many others and they were only about thirty thousand feet from the peak.
Qianhuan Demon Lord was very close to Su Mo and he was just a hundred feet behind Su Mo.
The other thirty four geniuses were behind this group.
“That person is good!”
“In the last round, he stole a lot of Path Swords and many Rank 3 talents lost to him!”
“Terrifying, his talents are shocking!”
Many people stared at Su Mo involuntarily as they gossiped among themselves. Their voices were full of shock.
That was because everyone else who was close to the mountain was famous.
Only Su Mo appeared an anomaly especially since his cultivation rank was lower.
This showed that Su Mo was outstanding and his talents were extraordinary.
Su Mo ignored all the chatter and dipped his head down as he walked up the mountain. Every step he took now had a sharp increase in strength of Sword Radiance.
This terrifying radiance continuously threatened to tear his Chaotic Energy apart.
With that, Su Mo could only activate his Blood Force, in an instant, his body shone with golden light.
The strong Blood Force immediately increased his defensive force. At the same time, Su Mo increased the speed of his ascent, taking large steps forward.
Su Mo didn’t dare to advance too quickly as he was afraid of getting injured from the sharp Sword Radiance.
“That is the… Supreme Combat Body?”
Yun Mu was closest to Su Mo and her eyes quickly narrowed. However, she shook her head quickly. Su Mo’s Blood Force appeared to be the Supreme Combat Body but it wasn’t.
Buzz~~
Right at that moment, Gu JIanshan, who was closest to the peak of the mountain, used his full strength.
A large myriad rose above his head and a sharp but strong golden sword appeared, its aura shaking the sky.
At the same time, light purple rays of light shone from Gu Jianshan and he became like a s.h.i.+ning statue.
“The Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit and the Innate Divine Source Body!”
Below the mountain, those who saw the scene shouted in excitement.
Both the Great Rotating Sword Primordial Spirit and the Innate Divine Source Body were ranked highly on Archean Boards and they were both terrifying existences.
