“Brother Qin possesses Qianhuan Demon Lord’s Illusion Primordial Spirit as he has just devoured him!” Gongsun Jia reckoned.
He was surprised to see that Su Mo’s Illusion Primordial Spirit possessed a similar aura to Qianhuan Demon Lord’s Illusion Primordial Spirit.
However, he believed that Su Mo’s Illusion Primordial Spirit was not Qianhuan Demon Lord’s Primordial Spirit.
The people were silent when they heard it. They found the explanation ridiculous but they could not think of any other explanation.
It was impossible for Su Mo to possess Qianhuan Demon Lord’s Primordial Spirit after he had devoured him.
The people were full of doubts but they did not have the answers to their questions.
Su Mo ignored the people and did not explain to Gongsun Jia. He only focused on defending himself.
It did not matter to him even if the people knew that his Illusion Primordial Spirit was that of Qianhuan Demon Lord.
He was also not concerned about if the people knew that he was a reincarnated body, let alone the issue about possessing the Primordial Spirit.
With the help of the three Primordial Spirits and the Blood Force, Su Mo’s defense power began to stabilize.
The rich Chaotic Power Source surrounded him and formed a powerful protective Power Source.
Although the penetrating pressure attacked Su Mo perpetually, causing his protective Power Source to deplete, Su Mo found it manageable.
The people were amazed to see that Su Mo was still able to put on a good defense when he was within 10 meters from the mountain peak.
All of them stopped moving forward and looked at him. They saw that Su Mo had the potential to reach the peak of Sword Mountain.
Time passed slowly. After eight minutes, Su Mo finally got ready to move on as he had accustomed himself to the penetrating pressure.
This time around, he no longer traversed three meters in one step, only one and a half meters. He was then eight and a half meters away from the mountain peak.
At this stage, he dared not take bold steps. He had to tread carefully.
Rumble!
When Su Mo stepped out, there were explosions in the sky and they shook the area.
The Chaotic Power Source outside Su Mo’s body dispersed as it was smashed by the penetrating pressure.
Blood Fog rose from Su Mo’s body and the defense outside his body was once again attacked by the penetrating pressure.
It was apparent that the harm done to Su Mo was greater than before. The flesh in his body tore apart, revealing his bones.
However, Su Mo was not concerned about it.
After Su Mo’s flesh had been torn apart, it closed up again when the Immortal Chaotic Body displayed its mysterious power.
As Su Mo was getting nearer to the mountain peak, his flesh tore and closed up perpetually and the cycle continued.
Su Mo was only slightly affected by it as it only depleted his Chaotic Power Source.
Su Mo’s Immortal Chaotic Body was built upon the Chaotic Power Source. Without the Chaotic Power Source, Su Mo would not be able to display the Immortal Chaotic Body.
However, he had a vast supply of Chaotic Power Source and the depletion was nothing to him.
Time passed quickly as the people watched Su Mo’s body going through the cycle.
“He must be dreaming if he is trying to go up the mountain peak using his Immortal Chaotic Body!” Tuoba Liuming sneered. He had to admit that Qin Yun was extremely powerful.
However, it would be impossible for him to reach the peak of Sword Mountain.
In fact, Su Mo had reached his limit. His Immortal Chaotic Body could no longer fend off the attacks of the penetrating pressure.
However, he was not flustered and he remained calm. As he fended off the penetrating pressure, he did his best to solidify his defense.
“Eight and a half meters!” Su Mo muttered. He felt that he had to activate his Devouring Primordial Spirit in order to make it through the last few meters.
The penetrating pressure would increase with every step that he took.
His defensive power was already at its optimum and he could no longer defend against the pressure.
Even if he had activated the Devouring Primordial Spirit, he was not confident that he would reach the peak as the Devouring Primordial Spirit’s strength was not on the defense.
The Devouring Primordial Spirit could devour the penetrating pressure but if the penetrating pressure was too great, instead of devouring it, it might backfire and the Devouring Primordial Spirit might be injured.
Su Mo was deep in thought. He had to use all means to reach the peak of Sword Mountain.
Without hesitation, Su Mo activated the Devouring Primordial Spirit and the devouring power swirled out of his body.
Su Mo would not release the Devouring Primordial Spirit as he would not do so unless necessary.
With the help of the devouring power, he devoured most of the penetrating pressure and that released much of the burden from himself.
Soon, Su Mo managed to stabilize his defense and the immense Chaotic Power Source formed a perfect protective defense around him.
“This is…!”
“This is the devouring power that he used earlier!”
“This is the power of the Primordial Spirit. He has Quadruplet Primordial Spirits!”
When the people saw the devouring power, they were stunned. Although they had reckoned that Su Mo possessed Quadruplet Primordial Spirits, they could not help feeling amazed when they saw them with their own eyes.
Quadruplet Primordial Spirits!
A martial artist who possessed Quadruplet Primordial Spirits was considered a gifted genius even if all four were ordinary Primordial Spirits.
Qin Yun not only possessed Quadruplet Primordial Spirits but three of them were ranked in top positions on the Archean Martial Soul Board.
It was apparent that the devouring power came from a mighty Primordial Spirit and the people believed that it was listed on the Archean Martial Soul Board as well.
“He may be able to reach the peak of Sword Mountain!”
“That’s right! There is a good chance of him doing so!”
“His talent is amazing!”
The geniuses who were at the foot of Sword Mountain were astounded. They felt that Qin Yun was powerful beyond description.
Gu Jianshan and Yun Mu looked perplexed. They did not want Qin Yun to reach the peak and they were contemplating whether or not to stop him.
Tuoba Liuming started to squint his eyes. He found Su Mo’s devouring power familiar.
The aura was faint and it seemed to come from the same source that he was familiar with. Although the aura was faint, it was present.
I must not let him reach the peak! Tuoba Liuming said to himself. Regardless of who Qin Yun was, Tuoba Liuming was determined not to let him reach the peak of Sword Mountain.
Since Tuoba Liuming could not get his hands on the Ultimate Sword Art, he would not allow the rest of the people to get hold of it. He’d rather let it remain at the Great Sword Sepulcher than let his enemy have it.
Tuoba Liuming had already regarded Qin Yun as his enemy.
The two of them had fought earlier and there was no way for them to put the past behind them.
Tuoba Liuming took a deep breath and he was not in a hurry to attack Qin Yun. The time was not ripe yet.
After Su Mo had activated his devouring power, he managed to put his defense into place in a short while.
Without hesitation, he moved another one and a half meters and he was seven meters away from the peak.
Rumble!
It rumbled and the penetrating pressure increased in strength as it surged violently toward Su Mo.
The mighty penetrating pressure instantly destroyed Su Mo’s protective Power Source.
“Slash!”
Suddenly, Tuoba Liuming shouted as he threw out a blow.
