Warrior's Promise

The elemental Dark Force on Su Mo’s fingers started to turn towards the greyish-white color and Su Mo was incredibly excited.

The light of success was appearing right before his eyes.

As the color of the five elemental Dark Force slowly changed, an internal energy within them started to seep out, causing the process to quicken.

Finally, one breath later, the five elemental Dark Forces had completely turned into the greyish-white colored Chaotic Qi. An outstanding, wondrous force filled the air.

“It is really successful?” Su Mo’s eyes widened in glee. He had not expected it to be so easy that he could achieve success in a single try. This seemed effortless.

However, a sudden wave of aura shot out from the Chaotic Qi within Su Mo’s fingers, resulting in waves of destructive forces.

“Not good!” Su Mo’s heart leaped in surprise and he immediately activated the Dark Force in his body, causing a thick layer of Dark Force to immediately surround him.

Bam!

In the next instant, the Chaotic Qi exploded violently with a loud bam, causing the cultivation room to shake slightly.

Luckily the Chaotic Qi was small and it had been enveloped by Su Mo’s thick layer of Dark Force. As such, there wasn’t a huge commotion caused by the explosion.

“The force of the Chaotic Qi doesn’t seem to be as huge as I expected!” Su Mo frowned slightly. He didn’t bother about why the Chaotic Qi suddenly exploded but instead started to doubt the power of the Chaotic Qi.

Although the Chaotic Qi that Su Mo had merged was small, such that it was only a notch more than the Chaotic Qi from the Dawn Stone, the power of the explosion disappointed Su Mo.

That was because he felt that the power of the Chaotic Qi did not meet his expectations.

Granted, this didn’t mean that the Chaotic Qi was weak, the powers of it was already very strong and it was around five to six times stronger than the same amount of three-colored, five-element Dark Force.

The powers of the Chaotic Qi were terrifying. Su Mo’s three-colored Dark Force was already much stronger than the Dark Force of martial artists in the same rank as him.

However, the current powers of the Chaotic Qi was much weaker than Su Mo’s expectations.

He had expected the Chaotic Qi to be minimally ten times stronger than his three-colored Dark Force.

“Could it be related to my martial skill and rank?” Su Mo wondered to himself. The five-element energy was still the constituent of the chaotic Qi and if the five elemental energies were weak, the Chaotic Qi would naturally also weaken.

The power of the five elemental energies were dependent on the grade of the martial skills as well as the cultivation rank of the user.

As such, the higher the grade of the martial skill, and the higher the cultivation rank of the martial artist, the five-element Qi would also be more refined and stronger.

“I see!” Su Mo’s exclaimed in realization. However, he wasn’t too disappointed. After all, if the powers of the Dark Force could increase by 5 to 6 times, Su Mo’s power would also leap.

“Then why is it so unstable?” Su Mo sighed again. The result of the merging previously was not suitable for battle at all.

Before the Chaotic Qi could be used for an attack once it was merged, the Chaotic Qi would explode in Su Mo’s body already.

However, the one celebratory point was that Su Mo had analyzed the process correctly. He had adopted the right method to merge the Chaotic Qi.

Although it had exploded instantly, he had successfully merged it. As long as he devoted the time and effort to it, Su Mo believed he could merge it with his own will freely in the future.

Once it could merge by its own, Su Mo’s exceptional fighting strength would increase considerably again.

Furthermore, after the self-merging of the Chaotic Qi, Su Mo would need to refine a Chaotic Divine Elixir for his powers to shoot up again.

A few moments later, Su Mo calmed himself down and tried to merge the five elements again.

This matter was the most important task to him and it was more urgent than cultivation.

Su Mo had entered the Bangle Space and calmly merged the Chaotic Qi.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Trial and trial again resulted in explosions one after another. Booming sounds continuously erupted in the Bangle Space.

A long while later, Su Mo had already tried a few thousand trials where he successfully managed to merge the Chaotic Qi only for it to immediately explode later. The duration which the Chaotic Qi lasted for did not seem to increase at all.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with my method!”

A doubtful expression crossed Su Mo’s eyes. Since the Chaotic Qi could be merged, why was it so unstable?

After numerous observations and analyzations, Su Mo realized that once the Chaotic Qi merged, its internal energy would start to destabilize and the rhythm of connection in it would start to turn chaotic. Hence, this had caused the five-element energy to lose the balance between them instantly.

“Is my control over the energy too weak? Or is the five-element energy not stable because there is a difference in their individual strength?” Su Mo muttered to himself.

It would be better news for Su Mo if it was the second possibility. By analyzing the five elemental energies, he could achieve the right balance between them.

However, if it was the first, Su Mo was in deep trouble. Increasing his control strength would require an increase in his mental strength.

It wasn’t easy to raise one’s mental strength. Aside from increasing his cultivation rank, he could only rely on a few special treasures to raise his mental strength with.

Right at that moment, Su Mo’s eyes shifted to the massive Demon Head Mountain not far away and a flash of light sparkled in his eyes.

“Ancient Demon’s Medulla!” Su Mo’s heart leaped in joy. Wasn’t that the treasure that could increase his mental strength? How could he have forgotten about it!

The Ancient Demon Medulla was a treasure that could increase his mental strength. Although there the insects protecting it, Su Mo’s strength had risen compared to what it was before.

Once he thought about this, Su Mo immediately stopped merging the chaotic energy and headed into Demon Head Mountain.

…

Right at the moment Su Mo walked into Demon Head Mountain, the Blood Pupil Clan were ushering three guests into their premises a few kilometers away from Imperial Ancestor Court Faction on Red Millet Star.

The Blood Pupil Clan was a tribe of the Red Millet Star whose power wasn’t much weaker than the Imperial Ancestor Court’s. It held a territory that was one tenth the size of the Red Millet Star.

Blood Pupil City was the ancient city of Blood Pupil Clan that was situated below a mountain. With a size of a few dozen kilometers wide, slightly under ten million Blood Pupil Clan members lived there.

In an ancient palace, a short elder of the Blood Pupil Clan stared at the two guests in his palace as he wore a smile on his face.

Among these two guests was a middle-aged man wearing a grey robe and a young man in a black shirt.

The middle-aged man was tall and burly with a long face. He gave off a fierce and dark vibe as his cultivation rank was the peak of the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm.

The other guest was a handsome-looking young man. He stared emotionlessly back at the Blood Pupil elder and had a face as hard as a board. The young man seemed like an unsophisticated man, but he was a Rank 7 Martial Honorable.

“Honored Wu Han, why have you come to Red Millet Star?” The elder smiled towards the middle aged man.

“Elder Xue Cheng, I am just passing by!” The tall middle-aged man sighed. He had used Space Teleportation Formation and had arrived in the territory of the Blood Pupil Clan. He had immediately been discovered by a few clan members and had been invited as a guest to the clan.

“Honored Wu Han, the Heavenly Underworld Star Sorcerer Tribe branch has always been on good terms with the Blood Pupil Clan. We are also on good terms. Aren’t you disrespecting me by trying to leave without even greeting me?” The elder wore a stern expression but maintained the smile on his face. As such, he wasn’t really reprimanding Wu Han.

Although the Blood Pupil Clan was strong, they were far weaker compared to the Sorcerer Tribe.

“Hehe, I have an important matter to attend to. I will accompany you for a drink after that!” Honored Wu Han laughed.

“Oh? What matter is so important?” Elder Xue Cheng asked. The Heavenly Underworld Star was far from the Red Millet Star. Why did Wu Han come here?

“I have come to kill a person!” Honored Wu Han said in a low voice. He was not afraid to disclose this fact to the elder as the two of them had been on familiar terms for almost a thousand years. Hence, he wasn’t afraid that the elder would spread the news.

Furthermore, the Blood Pupil Clan were enemies with the Imperial Ancestor Court. The two parties were engaged in conflict and hence the elder would not spread the news.
