Warrior's Promise

Di Yihun flew alone in the vast Void Sea holding a similar Location Compass.

"Have we been conned by Young Master Liu Yun?" Di Yihun frowned. There was no reaction from the Compass and it could not locate the Cosmic World.

He was completely lost and he became disoriented. He did not even know where he was.

However, he had been traveling for more than 30 years and it was impossible for him to turn back. He had no choice but to carry on.

Fortunately, Young Master Liu Yun had roughly told him the route and that helped to calm him down.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Di Yihun saw a figure coming out of his Spacial Device.

It was Zi Xiao, and he was in a purple robe.

"Finally, you have had a breakthrough!" Di Yihun stopped flying and looked at Zi Xiao. Zi Xiao had a vast aura and he had reached the Advanced Supreme Being Realm.

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Zi Xiao smiled. He had been cultivating in Di Yihun's Spacial Device for more than 20 years before he had finally had a breakthrough.

Immediately after making the comment, Zi Xiao had a ghastly expression on his face and he said, "If not for Su Mo, I would have had the breakthrough several decades ago."

Back before the Selection, Zi Xiao would have advanced in his cultivation level if he had not been severely injured by Su Mo in his attempt to kill him.

Zi Xiao had taken great pains to regain his strength but he had been severely injured by Su Mo again during the Selection. That had deterred him from advancing in his cultivation level again.

Fortunately, his Teacher, Tai Ying Sovereign, had given him a Spiritual Herb to help him regain his Origin Qi. That had hastened his recovery and helped him to have a breakthrough.

"You don't have to bear grudges against him. Since you are enemies, he will definitely not show you any mercy!"

Di Yihun shook his head and said, "You have been utterly beaten by Su Mo in the past few fights!"

Zi Xiao was silent when he heard what Di Yihun had said. Although it did not sound pleasant to the ears, what Di Yihun had said was true. He had been badly beaten in the past few fights.

"Those small failures are nothing. We can accept them!"

Di Yihun sighed and continued saying, "In the future, we need to plan things carefully before we attack Su Mo so that he will not have the chance to make a comeback."

"Yes. When we return to the Cosmic World, we must catch hold of Su Mo's weak spot!" Zi Xiao nodded. He had to admit that Di Yihun was more meticulous than him.

"By the way, how do you intend to deal with Tuoba Qingyun?" Zi Xiao asked. He knew that Di Yihun had intended to kill either Su Mo or Tuoba Qingyun.

"Kill him!" Di Yihun replied flatly.

"Do you intend to merge with Tuoba Qingyun?" Zi Xiao asked.

"Yes!" Di Yihun nodded. Although Tuoba Qingyun's talent was inferior to that of Su Mo, it would benefit Di Yihun greatly if he were to merge with him. His talent would heighten as well.

"After you have merged with Tuoba Qingyun, will you kill Su Mo?" Zi Xiao asked. He knew about Di Yihun's situation. Once Di Yihun had merged with all the Split-Souls, the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign would be awakened.

Thus, Di Yihun would not merge Tuoba Qingyun and Su Mo. However, if Di Yihun were to kill Su Mo and not merge with him after he had merged with Tuoba Qingyun, Su Mo would continue to go through the reincarnation cycle.

"If I manage to merge with Tuoba Qingyun, I will not kill Su Mo. I will cripple him, take away his Spiritual Soul, and suppress him forever," Di Yihun said. That would be a better arrangement as it would put him in a safer position by doing so.

He had wanted to merge with Su Mo and suppress Tuoba Qingyun, but the situation had changed.

Given a choice, Di Yihun would refrain from merging with Tuoba Qingyun or Su Mo. It would be riskier for him if he had merged with one more person as he had no idea if the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign had alternative plans.

However, as Di Yihun had a higher cultivation level, he was less wary of the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign.

When his cultivation level and strength surpassed that of the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign, he believed that the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign would not be revived.

"That's a good idea!" Zi Xiao nodded, looking pleased. If Di Yihun could suppress Su Mo forever, it would be crueler than to kill him.

"How is it going? Can the Location Compass locate the Cosmic World?" Zi Xiao asked.

"No!" Di Yihun replied as he shook his head.

Zi Xiao's heart sank when he heard Di Yihun's reply as it was not a good piece of news.

"Let's move on and see how it goes!" Di Yihun said, and the two of them continued with their journey.

…

As a Great Completion Supreme, Elder Huo Zhong could move at great speed in the void.

He was like a gale that swirled across.

40 years!

50 years!

60 years!

60 years after entering the Spatiotemporal Sea, the Location Compass managed to locate the position of the Cosmic World.

It was no longer necessary to check the direction and one would be able to reach the Cosmic World by following the Compass.

To save time, Elder Huo Zhong flew at full speed.

After flying for another 40 years, Elder Huo Zhong came out of the Void Sea. He appeared in a vast starry sky with stars glittering around.

"Is this the Cosmic World?" Elder Huo Zhong muttered to himself as he looked around. That was the first time he had left Cloud Ridge World for another world.

"This is a Lowly World. The surrounding space is weak!"

Elder Huo Zhong commented with a sigh. It was a known fact that there were 3,000 worlds below the Primitive Continent. There were 1,000 Lowly Worlds, 1,000 Middle Worlds, and 1,000 Prime Worlds.

Cloud Ridge World was a Prime World and it was two levels higher than the Cosmic World.

Elder Huo Zhong triggered his thoughts and two figures appeared. He had let Su Mo and Ling Chang out of the Spacial Device.

Su Mo and Ling Chang were sitting cross-legged and they opened their eyes when they realized that they were out.

"Are we in the Cosmic World?"

Su Mo stood up immediately. When he looked around, he was elated. Elder Huo Zhong was quick. He had reached the Cosmic World in 100 years!

"Thank you for your help, Elder Huo Zhong!" Ling Chang stood up and bowed politely to Huo Zhong.

"You are welcome. I am merely carrying out my duty!" Huo Zhong said with a smile. Although he was a Branch Elder and a Great Completion Supreme, he dared not treat Su Mo and Ling Chang lightly.

After all, the status of the disciples of the Headquarters was equivalent to that of the Branch Elders. On top of that, the Headquarters thought highly of the disciples and they had bright futures.

"Come, let's go to Star Guzhou!"

Su Mo immediately called out to the two of them and flew toward a star that was afar. He had to find out their current location.

Although the Cosmic World was a Lowly World, it had strong resistance.

Soon, the three of them found out that they were in the Ancient Region which was far away from the infinite Region.

However, their speed was quick. The weak space in the Cosmic World was not much of a hindrance to them.

The three of them hurried all the way to Star Guzhou.

Su Mo felt emotional as he flew to Star Guzhou. It had been more than 300 years since he had left the Cosmic World. Time had passed quickly in the blink of an eye.

Su Mo had stayed in Elder Huo Zhong's Spacial Device for approximately 70 years. During that period of time, he had been comprehending his Devouring Rules.

His Devouring Rules had reached Rank 6 End Realm and it would be reaching Rank 6 Great Completion Realm soon.

He had not hde a breakthrough in his cultivation level as his attainment in the Devouring Rules was too low. If he had had higher attainment, he might have been able to have a breakthrough.

His Rules of the Flames and Rules of Metal had reached Rank 7 Beginning Realm but it was difficult to comprehend the two Rules. There seemed no way for him to progress.

The two Rules were not that so profound that Su Mo was unable to comprehend them, but they did not belong to him

Ling Chang had not had much progress in her cultivation level for the past 70 years either. However, she had made slight progress in her Rules of Space.

She was aware of the power of the Rules of Space and had chosen to focus her attention on comprehending it. As for the Life Rule, she had put it off for the time being.

After all, Qian Xunyue was getting better and it was not necessary for her to comprehend the Life Rule.

Su Mo, Ling Chang, and Elder Huo Zhong hurried all the way at great speed and they reached Infinite Region in a few days.

"What has happened?"

Su Mo turned grave as he looked around the starry sky. After they had entered Infinite Region, he noticed a large number of meteorites around.

There was a large number of meteorites along the way and they piled up from one galaxy to another.

Those meteorites came about from the crushing of the stars and they were scattered around the starry sky.

Su Mo's heart sank when he saw it. What has happened? Are Di Yihun and Zi Xiao the culprits? Was it done by somebody else?

It was impossible for Di Yihun and Zi Xiao to return to the Cosmic World in 100 years.

Su Mo became anxious. He increased his speed and flew to Star Guzhou at full speed.
