Warrior's Promise

Three days passed quickly, and the Time Gate and the Space Gate in Spatiotemporal City opened simultaneously.

A big group of people walked out from the Time Gate and the Space Gate.

Su Mo stood up and got ready to enter Time Gate with the rest of the people.

Eh?

Suddenly, he squinted his eyes when he saw Xu Yan, Murong Leili, and Gongsun Jia.

There was a big group of people following Gongsun Jia.

There were more than 10 of them and they had high cultivation levels. Basically, they were Rank 3 True Gods.

“Are they getting into Spatiotemporal City as well?” Su Mo’s heart sank. It would be fine if they were entering Space Gate but if they were entering Time Gate, that would be tricky for him.

They were bound to meet each other in Time Gate given the limited space.

However, after thinking for a while, Su Mo felt that it would not matter even if they were entering Time Gate.

They would not be able to recognize him even if he was standing before them.

Before long, everyone from the Time Gate and the Space Gate was out.

The people from the ground below shot up to the sky and flooded into the two gates.

Su Mo was not in a hurry to act. He wanted to find out which gate Xu Yan and his companions were getting into.

Xu Yan and his companions were quick. They shot up to the sky and entered Time Gate with the crowd.

They have entered Time Gate! Su Mo squinted his eyes and was speechless.

However, he was not afraid. He flew up to the sky and entered Time Gate as well.

After being in a trance for some time, the scene before Su Mo brightened up.

He saw that Spatiotemporal Divine Hall looked the same as before.

There were many martial artists who had entered Time Gate and there were around 30,000 of them.

After all of them had gotten a hold of themselves, they flew toward Level One of Spatiotemporal Divine Hall. Xu Yan, Murong Leili and their companions and Su Mo were quick to do so as well.

As Su Mo already had past experience, he guarded his mind not to sense the Time and he entered Level One of the Divine Hall effortlessly.

There were halos in the Divine Hall and he could not see anyone or any object. He had to go through the cycle to comprehend the Time Ultimacy.

However, given Su Mo’s past experience and higher cultivation level, he was able to comprehend it in no time. In just a few breaths, he had mastered Level One of the Rules of Time.

The halos in the Divine Hall dispersed and Su Mo could vividly see his surroundings.

Eh? Have I entered Level Two?

Su Mo looked around and saw that Xu Yan, Murong Leili, and Gongsun Jia were not around. Apparently, they were quick and had entered Level Two of the Divine Hall.

Immediately, Su Mo entered Level Two.

He used around 30 breaths to master the Rules of Time at Level Two.

For Level Three, he used 15 minutes.

For Level Four, he used one hour.

They are quick!

When Su Mo was at Level Four, he saw that there were more than 1,000 martial artists around but he did not see Xu Yan and his companions.

He was surprised that Xu Yan and his companions were quick to comprehend the Rules of Time.

They might be able to do so as they had been to the Time Gate several times.

“Back then, when I entered Level Seven, the speed of time was 600 times faster. The time at Level Eight should slow down, and Level Nine should be a turning back of the clock. The time at Level 10 should be rapid but I wonder how fast it can go.”

Su Mo muttered to himself. The speed of time at Level One was six-folds, and it was 60-fold at Level Four. At Level Seven, it was 600-fold, and there was a possibility that it would be 6,000-fold at Level 10.

If he were to spend eight days at Level 10, that would be 131 years if the speed of time were 6,000-fold faster.

Su Mo was thrilled. He wondered which cultivation level he would be able to reach in 131 years!

Given the resources that he had on hand, it posed no problem for him to advance from Rank 2 Middle True God Realm to Rank 3 Advanced Realm.

Su Mo looked forward to seeing his progress at Level Five.

He used two hours to master the Rules of Time at Level Five.

For Level Six, he used four hours.

When he was at Level Seven, he used 10 hours.

In less than a day, Su Mo completed all the levels that he had gone through back then which he had used a number of days to complete.

After a while, he moved on to Level Eight.

This time around, he met some difficulties as he had not been to Level Eight before.

Although he had become more powerful, he used 24 hours to master the Rules of Time at Level Eight.

Hoof!

Su Mo let out a sigh. He knew that it would be impossible for him to move to Level 10 within the eight days.

It would be a bonus if he was able to cultivate at Level 10 for four days. After all, the level of difficulty increased at each level and it became more challenging.

Soon, Su Mo moved on and entered Level Nine.

The Rules of Time were mysterious at Level Nine and Su Mo had to spend 50 hours to comprehend it.

After Su Mo had mastered the Rules of Time, he opened his eyes and triggered his thoughts to capture the scene of that level.

He is here! Su Mo finally saw Xu Yan, who was still trying to comprehend the Rules of Time.

There were not many martial artists around at that moment. There were around 60 of them, and Murong Leili and Gongsun Jia were nowhere to be seen.

The two of them must have entered Level 10! Su Mo thought to himself. Xu Yan’s level of comprehension was not as fast as theirs and thus he was left behind at Level Nine.

Su Mo walked over to Xu Yan. He had decided to deal with Xu Yan as Xu Yan had come for him to kill him!

Su Mo went behind Xu Yan and tried to kill him by throwing a blow at his head.

However, a strange scene took place. His palm went through Xu Yan’s body.

Xu Yan’s body seemed transparent, as though he were a virtual being.

This…! Su Mo was shocked at the scene. He had mastered the Rules of Time but he could not attack another person.

“Young man, is he your enemy?”

A middle-aged man in a grey robe, who had mastered the Rules of Time, asked with a smile when he saw Su Mo attacking Xu Yan.

“Yes. Are we unable to fight here?” Su Mo nodded and asked the man.

“He has not mastered the Rules of Time at this level and thus you are not in the same space. You will not be able to kill him!” The middle-aged man replied with a smile. He was surprised that Su Mo had no knowledge of it.

If they could kill each other or communicate with someone who was in a different space, no one would be trapped in this place when they were unable to master the Rules of Time.

“Can I kill him after he has mastered the Rules of Time at this level?” Su Mo asked.

Since he could not kill Xu Yan when Xu Yan had not mastered the Rules of Time, Su Mo wondered if he could do so after Xu Yan had mastered it.

“Yes!”

The middle-aged man nodded and continued saying, “However, if he manages to master the Rules of Time, he will be the one to kill you!”

The middle-aged man believed that Su Mo would be unable to kill Xu Yan. After all, Su Mo was only a Rank 2 Middle True God but Xu Yan was a Rank 3 Middle True God. There was a great disparity in their cultivation levels.

“Thank you!” Su Mo cupped his fist and turned around to move to Level 10.

He had to make good use of his time to cultivate at Level 10 and not waste his time to wait for Xu Yan to make progress.

He only had nine days in Spatiotemporal City and almost four days had passed. Every second that he had was precious.

However, the minute Su Mo reached the entrance to Level 10, Xu Yan stood up.

“This is…he has mastered the Rules of Time!” Su Mo’s eyes lit up and he curled his lips into a derisive smile.
