Chapter 2343: The Altar Shall Be Stained With Your Blood

The blow that Su Mo threw out was much more powerful than the earlier attacks.

He was able to do so as he had learned from the attacks of the eight figures. His devouring power and Combat Qi had merged with the swordplay, making it more skillful and refined.

Swoosh!

Su Mo slashed out with his sword and the mighty Sword Qi formed a giant Rotating Sword.

Boom! Boom! Rumble!

This time around, Su Mo’s combat strength came on stronger than before. With one blow, he smashed all the attacks of the eight figures.

The powerful Rotating Sword hit straight into two figures and killed them.

The figures did not have any spiritual intelligence or combat experience. They seemed programmed to attack and did not duck away from the attacks.

“Die!”

Su Mo shouted and started to attack the figures aggressively. The sword radiance flashed as he threw out several attacks with his Rotating Sword.

The entire area was filled with the Rotating Swords and in an instant, the remaining six figures were killed.

After all the figures had been killed, Su Mo retreated from the illusionary space.

The outside world was as before and the Sword Crystal continued to emit its mysterious power.

The lady in the red dress and the rest of the people were still below, absorbing the mysterious power from the Sword Crystal.

Qianhuan Demon Lord looked as though he were in a daze on the eighth step, and it was apparent that he was going through the test.

Stamp!

Without hesitation, Su Mo moved onto the ninth step, which was the last step.

“That guy has reached the ninth step. He will be able to obtain the Sword Crystal if he passes the test!”

“He is quick. He has used no more than an hour to pass the test!”

“He will get the Sword Crystal but, can he survive?”

The people below were surprised to see that Su Mo had passed the test on the eighth step.

He had better comprehensive power than Qianhuan Demon Lord.

One had to have good comprehensive power and not depend solely on their strength and Way of the Sword when moving up the steps.

Even if one possessed great strength and a good grasp of the Way of the Sword, their opponents would become more powerful.

Only with good comprehending power would one be able to sharpen their skills and reach the altar.

“Senior Sister Ye Qiuhong, do you have any idea who he is?”

Someone asked the lady in the red dress curiously. The Rank 2 True God has great talent and he must be a prominent figure!

First of all, those who were present were gifted geniuses and the Rank 2 True God had performed better than the Favored Ones.

“I had no idea!”

The lady in the red dress shook her head and said, “I don’t think he is from a nearby region!”

If the Rank 2 True God was from the nearby region, they would have heard about him.

However, he looked unfamiliar and no one seemed to know him. Thus, he had to be from the other region and not from Sky Pool Holy Court.

“This guy shows no regard for Qianhuan Demon Lord. Let’s see how he handles Qianhuan Demon Lord later!” Ye Qiuhong, who was the lady in red, said.

The people nodded when they heard what she had said. They believed that the Rank 2 True God must have some powerful trump cards. If it were not so, he would not be so audacious.

The people stopped talking and continued to enjoy the nourishment from the Sword Crystal as not much time was left.

Once the Sword Crystal had been taken away, it would disappear and they would not be able to absorb its mysterious power.

Time passed and after an hour, Qianhuan Demon Lord passed the test at the eighth step and he regained consciousness.

“How can that be?” When Qianhuan Demon Lord saw Su Mo in front of him, his face darkened.

He had lagged behind the small fry.

“When did he move on to the ninth step?”

Qianhuan Demon Lord asked sharply as he turned his head around to look at the people below.

When the people saw him looking at them, they were afraid and dared not look at him.

“He took only half the time you did at the eighth step!” Ye Qiuhong replied softly.

She had to respond to Qianhuan Demon Lord lest he became infuriated. All of them would get into trouble if that happened.

“What? Half the time?” Qianhuan Demon Lord’s face turned pale and at the same time, he looked astonished.

Since he had used two hours to pass the test, the Rank 2 True God must have used only one hour to do so.

That was unbelievable!

Although Qianhuan Demon Lord did not possess any Sword Primordial Spirit, he had great comprehending power.

You must be tired of living!

Qianhuan Demon Lord gave a petrifying smile and he stopped moving.

He knew that there was no point in him proceeding. He would not be able to beat Su Mo to it.

He had to stay calm and wait for Su Mo to pass the test before deciding on his next step.

The rules in the illusionary space did not change. Su Mo had nine opponents on the ninth step.

This time around, the nine figures were more powerful than they had been before.

The strength of all the figures was comparable to that of Su Mo and they caused Su Mo to retreat perpetually.

How are they able to do it? They are more skillful than me at using my Chaotic Rotating Sword!

As Su Mo retreated, he was thinking. He found it mysterious!

He was certain that his Devouring Primordial Spirit was unique and he had created his Way of the Sword from his Devouring Primordial Spirit.

No one should know his Way of the Sword better than him.

However, the figures had displayed his strokes and they were more skillful than him.

Su Mo was baffled. Even if the figures could imitate his Way of the Sword, they should not be more skillful than him!

Su Mo could not figure out why they were able to do so.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the nine figures attacked Su Mo simultaneously. The powerful Rotating Swords sealed off the area with their formidable power.

“Oh no!”

Su Mo was astounded. As he fended off the blows, he moved back vigorously.

He had to refine his skills quickly. If he was unable to do so, he would not be able to defeat the nine figures who possessed similar strength to him.

When Su Mo thought of that, he stopped retreating from them.

Fortunately, the nine figures did not surpass Su Mo much in their strength.

The nine figures had poor knowledge about fighting. They knew nothing about joining forces and simply attacked perpetually.

As Su Mo fended off their blows, he tried to learn from their attacks and use their swordplay on his own skill.

The process was slow and it was more difficult than the eighth step.

Two hours!

Four hours!

Su Mo finally saw some light but it was not enough for him to sharpen his skills.

Six hours!

Eight hours!

10 hours!

After 10 hours, Su Mo managed to counter the attacks of the nine figures.

His skills had been enhanced without him realizing it.

The spirit of the Combat Qi and the devouring power became more congruent with his skills and he became more powerful.

“Die!”

After another hour, Su Mo started to fight back. The Rotating Sword swirled around and engulfed the area.

He had chosen to attack the figures individually and kill them with his great might.

After one hour, he had finally killed the last figure and emerged as the winner.

I have finally completed the nine steps!

Su Mo took a deep breath. He had improved tremendously in his Way of the Sword and he found it to be worth his efforts even if he did not obtain the Sword Crystal.

Shortly, his consciousness left the space and he went back to the steps.

Stamp!

Without any hesitation, Su Mo moved toward the altar and stood in front of the Sword Crystal.

He could feel the mystic power of the Sword Crystal as it surged into his body and nourished his three Primordial Spirits.

It was especially so with his Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit. It became more powerful as it received the nourishment from the Sword Crystal.

“Hey! Get down from the altar and I will let you off. If you dare to lay your hands on the Sword Crystal, I will make sure that the altar will be stained with your blood!”

Suddenly, a voice was heard shouting.

Qianhuan Demon Lord looked pale and he stared at Su Mo with eyes that were like a venomous snake’s.

His face was ever-changing like an illusion, and no one could see how he looked.

However, at that moment, his face remained still and everyone could see his face.

He had a long face with a high nose bridge. He had thin lips and gave one an overbearing feeling.

Hoof!

The people below took deep breaths as they were about to witness the outcome.

If the Rank 2 True God had taken the Sword Crystal, the mysterious power would disappear from the altar. Qianhuan Demon Lord would then deal with him.

Will the Rank 2 True God die or escape from Qianhuan Demon Lord? Will he give up the Sword Crystal? The answer will be out soon.
