Su Mo sized the young man up and found that he was at Peak Level 5 True Spirit Realm.
Since he was a level higher than Su Mo, it was no wonder that he was so domineering.
With a smile, Su Mo shouted coldly at the young man, “Right back at you——Screw off!”
“Screw off?”
The young man was startled and squinted with murderous intent.
After sizing Su Mo up, he asked, “Which domain are you from? You’re really cocky!”
He was wondering if Su Mo was a genius from a powerful domain. If so, Su Mo should be powerful despite his cultivation.
However, he knew that was unlikely. If Su Mo was really a genius from a powerful domain, there was no way he would only be Level 4.
Despite that, he wanted to play it safe. After all, he knew that his strength was mediocre amongst the countless geniuses from all the domains that come to Firmament Divine Realm.
“Hong Domain!” Su Mo replied firmly.
Su Mo did not lie since the man before he was definitely going to die and become his stepping stone.
He was absolutely confident that the young man had no chance of survival, even if he was as strong as Ao Wushuang.
“Hong Domain?”
The purple-robed young man was dumbfounded. He then laughed loudly and said, “Hahaha! I thought that you were a genius from a powerful domain, given your cockiness. Turns out you’re just trash from the tiny Hong Domain that’s nothing compared to my Dayan Domain!”
“Hong Domain has never managed to enter this place in past competitions. Somehow, you guys made it this time!”
The young man then sneered disapprovingly and said, “The only fate fitting for arrogant trash is death. I’ll now send you back to where you came from!”
Suddenly, he attacked.
“Red Flame Fist!”
A huge ball of flame shot toward Su Mo and reduced the air in its path to nothingness. It had not yet reached Su Mo but the heat wave was already melting his Body-protection Genuine Qi.
“He’s powerful!”
Su Mo turned serious. Even Huo Ling’s flame power was nothing compared to his. The strength of his fist was no weaker than Ao Wushuang’s.
“Shatter!”
Su Mo did not hold back and dealt a blow that contained a stream of Nirvana Sword Qi.
SWISH!
The sword Qi, combined with the force of Nirvana Sword Qi, was incredibly powerful. It tore through the flaming fist instantly and went for the young man.
“What?”
He was shocked. He had not expected Su Mo’s sword Qi to be so powerful that it tore through his attack with ease.
He reacted quickly, and promptly fell back before the sword Qi could hit him. He then dealt four punches and broke the sword Qi.
“He’s incredibly strong!”
The purple-robed young man was astonished. He could not believe that a tiny domain, which had been unable to open the Firmament Divine Realm in the past, had produced such an expert.
He was ranked 87th in Dayan Domain’s List of Top 100 Talents. Although his ranking was bad, he could easily achieve top 10 in the weaker domains. Hence, his astonishment from losing to Su Mo was unexpected.
On the other hand, Su Mo was taken by surprise as well. This random guy that he had encountered was as powerful as Ao Wushuang. It seemed like he should not underestimate the geniuses from other domains, after all.
“I’ll remember you, kid. You won’t be so lucky next time!”
The purple-robed young man wanted to leave, knowing that he could not beat Su Mo.
“Did I say you could leave?” Su Mo said coldly as he blocked the young man’s way.
“Don’t push it too far!”
The young man shouted angrily with a cold flash in his eyes, “Do you really think that I’m afraid of you?”
“You must die!” Su Mo replied coldly.
“I must die?”
Hearing Su Mo, he sneered and said, “Putting aside the fact that you aren’t strong enough to kill me, even if you do, I’ll be revived in the outside world. How can I die?”
Su Mo smiled mockingly and replied, “I’ll give you no chance of revival!”
Then, Su Mo struck without hesitation.
He had channeled the last two streams of Nirvana Sword Qi to deal the most powerful attack.
“Infinite Universe!”
The sword Qi tore through the air and reached the young man in no time.
A gigantic black vortex rose up behind Su Mo.
As the Devouring Martial Soul was released, its fearsome devouring power was unleashed.
The young man was already alert and ready to counter Su Mo’s attack. But his body suddenly trembled as his Genuine Vitality fell apart.
Since they were close to each other, Su Mo’s sword Qi landed on his body in the blink of an eye.
“No!” The young man yelled in fear.
SLASH!
His Body-protection Genuine Vitality shattered, and his body was split in two by the sword Qi.
CRASH!
Countless amount of blood and Genuine Vitality, together with a ball of Flame Martial Soul, gathered toward Su Mo rapidly, pulled in by the devouring power of his Martial Soul.
There were six purple halos on the young man’s Martial Soul. It was Rank 6 Earth Class.
Before his body even hit the ground, his blood and energy were devoured completely.
BOOM!
The two halves of his body fell to the ground like pieces of dead wood.
“How are you going to be revived without a single drop of blood left? Even if it’s possible, you’ll never be able to form again without your Martial Soul!”
Su Mo sneered, and started to refine the essence, blood and Genuine Vitality.
The energy of the bull was also pulled towards him.
Though, its Beast Soul, part of its demonic power, essence, and blood, had already dissipated because of the delay.
At this moment, Su Mo’s Devouring Martial Soul trembled as a fourth purple halo appeared.
It had ranked up to Rank 4 Earth Class!
“Haha!”
Su Mo was delighted. It was indeed much better to devour Martial Souls than Beast Souls. A single Rank 6 Earth Class Martial Soul was able to help his Devouring Martial Soul rank up.
Time passed slowly. After a while, Su Mo’s cultivation was nearing Peak Level 4 thanks to the energy he devoured.
“I’m so close to Peak Level 4!”
Su Mo sighed. The immense amount of essence and blood, Genuine Vitality, and demonic power that he had devoured were still not enough.
This was mainly because the young man and the bull both contained fire-type energy, which was completely different from Su Mo’s Genuine Vitality. Su Mo was only able to absorb a small amount of energy as the result.
