Chapter 832: Grant You Death!
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The crowd was completely astonished as they watched Su Mo scale the stairs at a much faster pace than Jiang Fengran did.
This showed that his ability to battle above his cultivation level was stronger than Jiang Fengran’s.
Jiang Fengran studied Su Mo’s progress through narrowed eyes. He was stunned at just how extraordinary this unknown martial artist was turning out to be!
Teal Fire King started to look less confident the higher Su Mo climbed. He knew Su Mo was powerful, but he had not expected him to be this extraordinary.
Even the top 2,000 Supreme Talents on the List might not be able to make it this far.
This was no longer about strength, but since they were all peer-level battles, it completely hinged on the individual martial artist’s ability to fight above his level.
The higher the cultivation realm, the wider the strength gap between each level would be. Therefore, those of lower cultivation would have an advantage.
Su Mo’s progress had well exceeded Teal Fire King’s expectations.
“Let’s see how far you can climb!” Teal Fire King smirked to himself.
Su Mo’s opponent in this fiery universe was none other than a talented Lv 9 True Darkness Realm martial artist who cultivated fire property martial arts techniques.
This martial artist was stronger than the previous two, but nonetheless, he was easily destroyed by Su Mo.
Su Mo then continued to scale the stairs and climbed up the 20th step.
True to his expectations, Su Mo found himself in an earth property Space.
A vast land stretched out for miles with no end in sight and dense earth property strength filed the entire Space.
A stout young man charged straight at Su Mo.
He was about 30% stronger than Su Mo’s previous opponent, but he was still not Su Mo’s match.
Su Mo merged his Dark Force to turn it four-colored and sent it toward that young man.

However, that young man had a stronger defensive ability, so it took dozens of strokes before Su Mo managed to kill him.
An icy universe lay ahead of him on the 21st step, covered with towering glaciers, but Su Mo still managed to breeze past this round.
He was transported to a bright universe on the 22nd step, the light within it so bright that Su Mo could not open his eyes.
He still managed to easily defeat his opponent. His strength easily overpowered peer-level talents of the ancient times. None of them were his match.
He encountered a windy universe on the 23rd step and freezing winds howled about this place with piercing wind blades slashing across the air.
A young man who moved like the wind was his opponent this time. He moved so quickly, Su Mo had difficulty locking in on his location.
Su Mo exerted all his Spiritual Spirals, turning his extremely dense Dark Force into sword Qi that engulfed this place for thousands of miles around, trapping his opponent within. His opponent was finally shredded into tiny pieces.
A pitch-black universe awaited him on the 24th step.
Su Mo had great eyesight, but now he could not see more than 33 meters ahead of him.
A shadowy figure who moved as soundlessly as a ghost weaved through the Darkness to launch continuous attacks on Su Mo.
Su Mo finally used his Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul to pin him down and killed him in three moves.
As he climbed up the 25th step, he was transported to a universe flowing with fresh blood, its pungent, metallic smell attacked his senses.
“Die!” a red-haired young man shouted as he shot up from the river of blood.
Powerful blood Qi filled the entire place as he rushed straight at Su Mo.
He punched out and dazzling sanguine light burst forth. The power his fist radiance emitted was earth-shattering.
“Die!” Su Mo’s Dark Force turned three colored as he slashed out powerfully.

After he slashed out, the entire bloody universe shook like it was about to be torn apart and the red-haired young man was shredded into pieces.
Then, Su Mo climbed up to the 26th step.
Based on what he had gathered from his opponent in the wood universe, Su Mo knew that this was the final test of his combat strength.
Buzz~~
His surroundings changed and Su Mo found himself in an expansive universe.
The skies were completely clear and it was extremely scenic here, with mountains, rivers, flora and fauna all across this place. It looked very tranquil.
“Eh?” Su Mo was puzzled.
He had used his eyes to search this area, but did not see a single person in sight.
“What’s going on?” he wondered as he continued to fly forward.
He roamed around for a while and still, there was nothing.
“There’s no one here?” he frowned. How was he going to pass through this challenge if he had no opponent?
Suddenly, the skies split open and a bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens.
It was like a punishment from the gods, mighty and powerful. It split the skies open like a knife with incredible speed.
“What!”
Before he could even react, that bolt of lightning struck him.
Bam!
Crackle!
Explosions rattled the area as lightning struck Su Mo. It had even split open his Body-protection Dark Force.
Fortunately, his Body-protection Dark Force was so dense and thick that it managed to block 80% of the lightning’s power.
It then hit Su Mo squarely with its remaining power and Su Mo could not hold back his groan.
Despite his mighty physical strength, he still felt the pain shooting across his entire body. He had barely withstood this attack.
He immediately looked up and spotted a tall young man staring coldly at him up above the sky.
That young man was big and burly, clad in a silver long robe. Thunder and lightning flashed on him.
He stood on a Thunder Sea that had a radius of 3,300 meters which rumbled powerfully with thunder and lightning.
“I am the embodiment of thunder and on behalf of the heavens, I hereby grant you death!” the young man declared coldly as he trained his frosty gaze on Su Mo.
He waved his hands and an even more powerful lightning bolt shot from the Thunder Sea toward Su Mo.
“Who do you think you are to act on behalf of the heavens? You must be courting death!” Su Mo was incensed. This man was too full of himself!
Swoosh!
He charged forward instead of retreating, choosing to face that bolt of lightning head-on as he hurtled upward toward that young man.
“Destroy!” Su Mo roared.
He slashed out with his Sky-crushing sword and a blinding three-colored sword Qi burst forth and collided against that bolt of lightning.
Boom!
Both his sword Qi and that bolt of lightning were exploded with a loud bang and dissipated into the air.
“He’s truly powerful!” Su Mo was surprised.
He had not expected this lightning bolt to be able to destroy his sword Qi.
“Die!” that young man roared. His hands kept moving as bolts of lightning continued to strike down at Su Mo from the Thunder Sea.
Mighty thunderous power shook the surrounding area.
Bolts of powerful lightning struck down with such speed that they were indistinguishable to the naked eye.
Rumble!
The Thunder Sea rumbled with rolls of thunder that were so powerful, they caused the earth to quake.
Su Mo’s expression turned solemn. Thunder and lightning were weapons of nature, and as he looked at the countless thunderbolts approaching him, fear suddenly crept up on him.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
