Chapter 656: The Beginning of a Massacre

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Su Mo was shocked. The rules were just too cruel and violent!

However, if he wanted to obtain the Demonic Sword, slaughter was the only viable method.

If one didn’t kill, then they would lack the strength to compete for the Demonic Sword. They might even end up being killed by others!

All would enter a state of madness. This Demonic Sword was so powerful that everyone wanted to get their hands on it.

Many people continued to flood into the space, understanding the situation immediately upon entry.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Countless people joined the massacre, and countless were killed. The entire area grew in violence and cruelty.

Countless martial artists dashed toward the Billion Demonic Sword as they killed their way to it. However, the Demonic Sword was several hundreds of kilometers away. Everyone’s cultivation had been restricted, so they couldn’t fly. It would take them a long time before they even neared the sword.

“Su Mo, let’s start join in!” Li Feng said, “If we don’t kill, we won’t stand a chance once these people start to restore their cultivations!”

Su Mo nodded. He could already see that people like Yin Tianchou and his father, as well as some other stronger martial artists, had already had their cultivation restored to Spiritual Martial Realm.

Any further delay would mean a slimmer chance of survival.

Although killing others was extremely violent and brutal, they had no other choice. They could only regain their strength by killing others.

After all, there was no way out of this place.

The Devil Gate transported them to this place, but there was no exit.

Hence, if he wanted to survive, the only way was to kill.

The rules were just so cruel!

“Let’s kill!” Su Mo flipped his palm and his Sky-crushing Sword appeared.

SWISH!

Suddenly, a young man in gray appeared in front of Su Mo and split out at him.

The saber radiance went straight for Su Mo’s head.

“You are asking for it!” Su Mo shouted as he blocked it with his sword.

CLANG!

The clang of metal was heard as sword met saber, and the young man in grey was knocked back 33 meters.

They were both of Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm, but Su Mo still had a physical strength of Lv 1 Qi Cultivation Realm as well as his Sky-crushing Sword, which was an Imperial Divine Weapon.

This man was not Su Mo’s match at all.

“Die!” Su Mo leapt into the air, then slashed down violently with his Sky-crushing Sword.

His opponent was killed instantly.

Su Mo then felt a wave of heat flowing through his body. His cultivation had risen by one level and he regained the strength of Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm.

“This is really strange and marvelous!” Su Mo exclaimed in astonshment. He then kept his opponent’s storage ring and called out to Li Feng and Hong Qingxuan. Together, they dashed into the crowd.

Su Mo chose to challenge only those whose cultivations were either lower than or on par with his, so he slaughtered them with extreme ease.

Those who had restored their cultivations to a higher level had already charged dozens of kilometers ahead of him.

“Die!” Su Mo shouted angrily as continued to slash out with his Sky-crushing Sword. Blood splattered everywhere. No one was his match.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”

Endless screams rang out.

Su Mo charged rapidly forward with Li Feng and Hong Qingxuan in tow.

In the blink of an eye, Su Mo had restored his cultivation to Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm.

Both Li Feng and Hong Qingxuan had strong combat strength. Hong Qingxuan’s ability to fight others above her level was much higher than an average martial artist. Only a few could surpass her in terms of combat strength.

Li Feng was slightly weaker in comparison, although he killed others at a slower speed, an average same level martial artist would find it difficult to defeat him due to his powerful defense.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Su Mo continued to slash out with his sword, keeping the storage rings of those he killed.

Su Mo discovered that by killing martial artists of a higher cultivation, his own cultivation would recover at a much faster pace. Killing those of the same cultivation had a minimal impact to his cultivation.

He could only continue to charge ahead and kill those whose cultivation equal or higher than his.

“Die!” Su Mo leapt upward and aimed his Sky-crushing Sword toward the back of a short elderly man.

The shadow of a shield instantly appeared from the elder’s back. This was his Martial Soul.

His Martial Soul was of Rank 2 Earth Class, and attempted to block Su Mo’s oncoming blow.

PUFF!

Su Mo’s Sky-crushing Sword immediately shattered the shield Martial Soul, and the elder was split in half.

“We can use our Martial Souls?” Su Mo was delighted. If he could use his Martial Soul, no-one could compete with him in terms of killing speed.

Su Mo immediately tried releasing his Martial Soul and found that it worked.

However, although his Martial Soul remained as Rank 9 Earth Class, its strength had been suppressed greatly, which made it very weak.

Its devouring power was on par with Rank 5 Human Class.

“Haha!” Su Mo laughed. His Martial Soul might have been weakened, but this was good enough for him.

Furthermore, as his cultivation continued to recover, the power of his Martial Soul would also continue to increase.

“Li Feng, Qingxuan, both of you return to the Divine Map’s Space. I’m about to unleash my Martial Soul!” Su Mo said hastily to the both of them.

“Alright!” They both nodded, well aware of the horrifying effect of Su Mo’s Martial Soul. They would not be immune to its power if they remained.

Furthermore, they were not competing for the Demonic Sword and would be happy as long as Su Mo obtained it.

Then, Su Mo used his Mind to envelop Li Feng and Hong Qingxuan, and sent them into the Divine Map.

Su Mo’s eyes swept the area with killing desire bursting from his eyes.

“Devour them all!” Su Mo shouted, and immediately unleashed his Devouring Martial Soul, exerting its power to the extreme.

The devouring power immediately extended its power at a radius of 33 meters, with Su Mo at its center.

Although Su Mo’s devouring power had been suppressed, it was still an Earth Class Martial Soul and retained the abilities as such.

“What’s happening?”

“Why is has my blood Qi gone beserk?”

“My Martial Soul is shaking, what’s going on?”

In the blink of an eye, those who were within range of Su Mo’s devouring power were all left trembling in fear.

“Die!” Su Mo continued to slash out with his long sword. He killed a man with each step he took and had killed ten in ten steps.

Under the influence of his devouring power, no one was Su Mo’s match.

Fresh blood splattered everywhere, and countless broken limbs sailed across the air. In an instant, Su Mo had already killed hundreds of people.

He was surrounded by endless sanguine light and Demonic Qi as his devouring power devoured everyone’s blood together with the surrounding Demonic Qi.

However, now was not the time for him to devour all the blood essence and Demonic Qi, so Su Mo scattered them in the air.

Despite that, he still devoured the Martial Souls of those he killed.

All these Martial Souls were like supplements to him, he could not waste them.

Su Mo’s cultivation had finally recovered to Spiritual Martial Realm.

Su Mo’s body suddenly shook for an instant. He sensed that the nine Spiritual Spirals within his elixir field had been restored.

Although his nine Spiritual Spirals have been restored, he still could not use the Five Elements Dark Force within them.

Only nine shreds of congenital genuine Qi floated among his nine Spiritual Spirals. His current cultivation was only Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm.

After recovering up to Spiritual Martial Realm cultivation, Su Mo could fully unleash the advantage of his nine Spiritual Spirals, which led to a huge increase in his combat strength.
