Chapter 477: Gravitational Field
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
"Murong Wudi wants to fight Su Mo? Su Mo will lose for sure!"
"Murong Wudi's talent is unprecedented. He will be listed on the List of Top 10,000 Continental Talents someday!"
"Haha! There's no other Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm martial artist that can beat Murong Wudi!"
The crowd burst into a clamor and the entire valley suddenly became noisy.
The purple-robed young man looked handsome with his hair dancing in the wind. The edges and corners of his face were sharp, his eyebrows looked like swords, and his eyes looked like stars, all of which made him look incomparably noble.
This person was called Murong Wudi, a name that was known to everyone in the Celestialspirit Sect. He was known not only for his talent but also for the fact that he was the Sect Master's pro-disciple in the Celestialspirit Sect.
All eyes were fixed on Murong Wudi. They looked at him with many different emotions, such as envy, admiration, adoration, and appreciation.
Murong Wudi ignored the crowd and just stared at Su Mo down in the fighting ring.
"Do you dare fight me?" he asked gently.
Su Mo was looking up at Murong Wudi. He was surprised that the pro-disciple of the Sect Master had come to challenge him!
"I already said that anyone under Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm can challenge me!" Su Mo said with a smile.
His words contained a confidence of invincibility— he was not scared at all. He would not even be afraid to fight the Sect Master at his level, not to mention the Sect Master's disciple.
"Good! You're qualified to fight me!" Murong Wudi nodded slightly. He did not land in the fighting ring but remained in midair.
Su Mo curled his mouth and said with disdain, "That's big talk. I'm wondering if you are qualified to let me move!"
"Interesting."
Upon hearing this, Murong Wudi narrowed his eyes and curved his mouth into a smile. "Since I started practicing martial arts, I've never lost a single battle against a martial artist at the same level as me. That's why I'm named after 'Wudi' (invincible). I've never lost before, and I'll never lose in the future!"
On Murong Wudi's face lay the confidence of invincibility. It was a confidence built on accumulated victories and a confidence of matchlessness.
Su Mo scorned inwardly. "It turns out that this guy named himself 'invincible'. What a stupid, cheeky fu*ker."
"Unfortunately my friend, since I started practicing martial arts, I've never lost a single battle against a martial artist who was two or three levels higher than mine. I'm afraid that the 'invincible' in your name will need to be changed today!"
Su Mo gave a tit-for-tat answer. He could not stand such an arrogant guy.
Even Su Mo did not dare to say that he was truly invincible against those at the same level. After all, in such a big world, there had to be numerous, incredible talents like him!
Su Mo's voice spread out in all directions and stunned the crowd.
"Oh, Lord! Su Mo's too arrogant!"
"Shamelessly boasting in front of Murong Wudi… how ignorant Su Mo is!"
"Haha! Even if Su Mo is a monstrous talent, even if he has incredible combat strength, he's no match for Murong Wudi. Maybe he doesn't know what he was saying!"
Everybody was talking about it and thought that Su Mo was blindly arrogant. Almost nobody thought that he could win.
On the mountain peak, Hong Qingxuan became serious because Murong Wudi's reputation was so great. It was said that the martial arts technique that he practiced was extremely extraordinary and nobody could exert their full strength against him.
"Junior Sister Hong, do you think that Su Mo can contend with Murong Wudi?" Huang Yao stared at Murong Wudi with keen eyes full of adoration. However, she knew the sad fact that she did not deserve him at all.
Compared with Murong Wudi, Su Mo suited her better!
Huang Yao did not ask if Su Mo could defeat Murong Wudi; instead, she used "contend". There was no chance to defeat him, not to he her knowledge.
"Brother Su Mo shall prevail!" Hong Qingxuan answered affirmatively. However, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Huang Yao was shocked for a moment and murmured, "Uh… I don't think so."
Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Murong Wudi's face fell and a mocking look glittered in his eyes.
"I thought that you were a good talent, but it turns out you're just an ignorant piece of sh*t!"
Murong Wudi shook his head and coldly said, "Well, then I'll just crush your confidence and show you what invincibility at the same level looks like!"
Murong Wudi's aura surged after he finished his words. His robe started to dance without the wind, and then an invisible force instantly shrouded Su Mo.
"This is…" Su Mo's face changed suddenly. He could feel a massive force of gravity being exerted on him.
The force of gravity was more than 500,000 kilograms and was crushing down upon Su Mo like a huge mountain, making his bones creak and groan.
Murong Wudi smiled in midair and said, "Su Mo, this is the Gravitational Field of the Mountains-weight Skill that I practice. Even if you have incredible combat strength, in my Gravitational Field, you can't wield a tiny part of your strength. You've lost!"
Murong Wudi looked full of pride. The Gravitational Field could completely crush a normal Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm martial artist in a split second.
"Gravitational Field? That's where your so-called 'invincibility' comes from?" Su Mo looked solemn now because he had never encountered such an unusual martial arts technique.
However, Su Mo was not afraid. He loudly said, "Even so, you will lose!"
Su Mo's body shone with a golden light with golden scales covering him. The upsurge in physical strength had greatly lessened the force of gravity on him.
Then, Su Mo moved suddenly. The Sky-crushing Sword was unsheathed instantaneously and it danced in an upward arc.
The dazzling, five-colored Sword Qi tore apart the Gravitational Field and skyrocketed.
However, due to the Gravitational Field's effect, the power of the Sword Qi was halved.
"A trifling trick!" Murong Wudi disdainfully smiled and easily shattered the Sword Qi with a single punch.
"Su Mo, you will not defeat me!
"Under my Gravitational Field, not only will your body undergo a tremendous force of gravity, but so will your Vital Spirit and attacks. Everything is under the influence of the Gravitational Field, so you can't exert even half of your strength. How can you defeat me?"
Murong Wudi was teasing Su Mo now. He was pissed off by Su Mo's arrogance, so he decided to toy with Su Mo before his victory.
Chapter 478: An Astonishing Bet
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Su Mo's sword attack was shattered with a wave from Murong Wudi.
The crowd sighed inwardly. As expected, Su Mo did not stand a chance against Murong Wudi. This was the same for all the martial artists of Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm in the Celestialspirit Sect.
Although Huang Yao wasn't surprised, she still felt a little disappointed.
Su Mo was still not Murong Wudi's match!
Just then, what Su Mo suddenly said silenced the crowd.
"The bet of 100,000 Medium Spiritual Stones is too small. How about 500,000 Medium Spiritual Stones?" Su Mo said seriously.
The valley was in an uproar after a short silence.
"Did I hear that right? 500,000 Medium Spiritual Stones!"
"Gosh! Is Su Mo crazy?"
"Does he have enough Spiritual Stones?"
"He still added to his bet on this hopeless match. Is he really that confident?"
The crowd was shocked and all were staring at Su Mo in surprise. No one was expecting Su Mo to defeat Murong Wudi, so they did not understand what he was trying to do.
"500,000!" Murong Wudi said with a slight frown. He did not care how big the bet was, but he did not have that many Spiritual Stones.
Nonetheless, since he was so sure he'd emerge victorious, Murong Wudi nodded and said, "Okay! I'll do it. However, if you lose and can't pay in Spiritual Stones, I'll take away your sword instead!"
Murong Wudi could tell with a glance that the sword in Su Mo's hand was a Lv 6 Imperial Divine Weapon, which was worth far more than 500,000 Medium Spiritual Stones, so he would be pleased to win that treasure sword.
"If you win, then this is yours."
Confidence was written all over Su Mo's face. He did not have 500,000 Medium Spiritual Stones but that did not matter because he was sure he'd win!
The reason why Su Mo proposed such a high bet was to earn loads of Spiritual Stones from one fight. Since he opponent was so sure of himself, he would definitely not refuse such a high bet.
"What will you do if you don't have 500,000 Medium Spiritual Stones?" Su Mo asked. As the Master's pro-disciple, Murong Wudi must be pretty rich, but 500,000 Medium Spiritual Stones was a fortune that was beyond the means of a regular martial artist of the True Darkness Realm.
"I won't lose!" Murong Wudi said flatly, full of confidence.
"If you lose?" Su Mo asked again.
"It won't happen!" Murong Wudi said.
Su Mo scoffed inwardly and pressed, "What if you do?"
Murong Wudi frowned. He had already stated that he would not lose, but Su Mo still continued to press him for an answer.
After pausing for a thoughtful moment, Murong Wudi nodded and reassured Su Mo, "I might not have that many Spiritual Stones, but I have enough valuable treasures to offset them."
At those words, Su Mo grinned and said, "Haha! The cultivation skill you cultivated is pretty good. Why don't you… use this cultivation skill as your bet?"
Su Mo was interested in his opponent's powerful cultivation skill. He guessed that it was stronger than the Nirvana Cultivation Method. Moreover, its name seemed to suggest that it is a cultivation skill of wood property and that would suit him very well.
"What?" Murong Wudi's face darkened and he said coldly, "How dare you go after my cultivation skill. Forget it. I have other treasures to offset the difference."
Murong Wudi would definitely not bet his cultivation skill on the match. His upper grade King rank Mountains-weight Skill was both extremely powerful and precious. He would definitely not give it to anyone so easily.
Su Mo said, disdainfully "Are you afraid of losing? And losing this cultivation skill as a consequence?"
Murong Wudi was not dumb. He knew that Su Mo was trying to provoke him, but he still shook his head and said, "Forget the cultivation skill. I will not bet Mountains-weight Skill on this match."
"Hahahaha!" After hearing these words, Su Mo suddenly looked up and burst into loud laughter. This laughter rang across the valley and puzzled the crowd.
"Murong Wudi, you're not worthy of being the Master's pro-disciple and the invincible martial artist of the same level!" Su Mo raised his sword in his hand and shouted scornfully, "My Sky-crushing Sword is a Medium Lv 6 Imperial Divine Weapon, which is worth several million Medium Spiritual Stones. Yet, I bet it on this match. However, you don't even dare to risk your cultivation skill. You're so cowardly and insecure. Are you even worthy of being the pro-disciple and the invincible martial artist of the same level?"
Using his Vital Spirit power, Su Mo's voice spread in all directions and could be heard more than a hundred miles away. Almost all from the Celestialspirit Sect heard his words.
"What's going on? Who wants to gamble with Murong Wudi?"
"God! Who's this? How dare he provoke Murong Wudi?"
"Using an Imperial Divine Weapon as a bet! How confident he is!"
"Come on, let's go to Casino Valley!"
Soon, countless disciples and a large number of elders rushed to Casino Valley to see what was going on.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In a short time, many disciples gathered at Casino Valley. The number of people on both sides of the ravine surged to more than 100,000 people in a few breaths.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
On Towering Sky Peak, three figures flew out of the attic. They were Feng Shaoyu, Tian Chen, and Yun Fei.
"It's the 11th Junior Brother's voice," Tian Chen said with surprise.
"What's going on?" Yun Fei slightly frowned.
"11th Junior Brother is about to fight against Murong Wudi in Casino Valley. Let's go and have a look!" Feng Shaoyu shook his head helplessly. He had not expected Su Mo to create such a big commotion in Casino Valley.
They then rose up into the sky and flew toward Casino Valley.
In Casino Valley, Murong Wudi's face was gloomy and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He became angry upon seeing the large number of disciples drawn here by Su Mo's words.
"Alright! Su Mo, since you're asking for a beating, I'll grant your wish. The Mountains-weight Skill is my bet!" Murong Wudi clenched his jaw and said coldly.
Murong Wudi placed his Mountains-weight Skill as his bet and he knew full well that Su Mo was provoking him. He must still had full confidence in his own strength though.
On the other hand, Murong Wudi stopped belittling Su Mo. Su Mo knew how powerful his Gravitational Field was, and yet still raised the bets. He even placed his Imperial Weapon on the line. He must have a powerful hidden card.
However, Murong Wudi was not afraid of him at all for he had full confidence in his abilities!
Chapter 479: The Honor of Invincibility
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Murong Wudi's words caused a roar of excitement to rise from the crowd.
"He did it!"
"He actually did it!"
The bets placed by both Murong Wudi and Su Mo, were far too precious and rare.
Both the Imperial Cultivation Method and the Imperial Divine Weapon were at a Level 6. The average Enlightenment Realm martial artist could not afford these. Murong Wudi and Su Mo had the support of powerful Masters which allowed them to possess such treasures.
The crowd was abuzz with excitement. Who would emerge victorious? The loser would have to part with a precious treasure!
They couldn't wait for the battle to start!
However, the consensus was that Murong Wudi would win Su Mo's Imperial Divine Weapon.
The only exception to the crowd's opionion came from Feng Shaoyu, Yun Fei, Tian Chen and Hong Qingxuan. They had confidence in Su Mo. However, their confidence had its limits. The victorious streak by Murong Wudi being witnessed among all was just too incredible!
"Eighth Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Brother, what do you think are the chances of Eleventh Junior Brother emerging victorious?" Tianchen said gravely. "If Eleventh Junior Brother loses the Sky-Crushing Sword our Master gave him, he will be furious!"
"Eleventh Junior Brother's ability to battle higher-level opponents is far better than the three of us. It's difficult to predict a winner." Yun Fei said softly.
Feng Shaoyu nodded, "We've never seen Eleventh Junior Brother's true combat strength. Perhaps he has a strong hidden card! We also cannot underestimate the power of Murong Wudi's Gravitational Field. Even if we met as peers, I'd probably lose!"
The trio was getting worried. Su Mo's opponent was just too strong!
Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng both shared similar emotions; however, they felt some anticipation as well. They were looking forward to Su Mo defeating Murong Wudi. They worried that he would suffer defeat at the hands of Murong Wudi.
In short, they feared Su Mo's chances of victory were very slim.
On the fighting ring, Su Mo was elated at Murong Wudi's words. This was exactly what he had hoped to achieve. If he could integrate the Mountains-Weight Skill into his Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill, both the level of his Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill and the power of his Vital Spirit would increase by a large margin.
"Murong Wudi, let's fight!"
Fighting desire flashed in Su Mo's eyes. He suddenly gave a loud cry, and the golden light from his body became even more dazzling. His golden scale armor shone brightly in the sun.
The gravitational field may have been powerful, but Su Mo's physical strength was unparalleled. He only needed to utilize 30% of his physical strength to resist the strong pull of gravity.
The problem at large was that the gravitational field affected the operation of his Vital Spirit, slowing it down. After his Vital Spirit left his body, it would be subject to the effects of the gravitational field, and its power greatly reduced.
Moreover, the longer the striking distance was, the weaker the power of Vital Spirit would be.
He would need to engage in close-range combat in order to defeat Murong Wudi.
Su Mo wanted to engage in a fair battle with someone equal to his own level of expertise and high calibre. He would not call on the power of his Martial Soul force unless absolutely necessary. This would show everyone who was truly invincible amongst his peers!
Thump!
As he stamped his foot, a dull thud sounded from the vibrating fighting ring. A blast wave swept across in all directions.
The recoil from the stomp helped Su Mo resist the mighty gravity and enabled him to fly like an arrow toward Murong Wudi.
"Slash!"
Just as he approached Murong Wudi, Su Mo swung his sword. His strong Vital Spirit filled the air. A 100-meter-long five-colored sword Qi split the air, and shot upward.
This sword, unlike the previous probing attack, embodied a terrifying sword Qi that shot to the heavens. Its power was not weakened, even under the influence of the gravitational field, and could easily kill an average peak Lv 5 Enlightment Realm martial artist.
The sword's radiance instantly approached Murong Wudi.
"Impressive!" Murong Wudi's eyes glinted brightly. Instead of stepping backward, he rushed toward the five-colored sword Qi.
Boom!
With a heavy punch, the five-colored sword Qi immediately dispersed into sword rain, and shot in all directions.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
A large amount of sword Qi instantly pierced the rock walls in the distance, and tiny holes filled the rock walls. An equally large amount of sword Qi shot up into the sky towards the space above the gorge.
"Crap!"
"Get out of there!"
"Watch out!"
At the top of the gorge, the weaker disciples were shocked at the power of the approaching sword Qi and quickly fled. This caused the area to descend into chaos.
Swish!
Without pause, Su Mo quickly flew toward Murong Wudi and swung his sword violently once again.
"Nirvana Swordplay—Dark Serenity!"
With a flash of sword radiance, a destructive aura soared into the sky, and an even more powerful sword Qi flew toward Murong Wudi.
Nirvana Swordplay may have been a Lower Lv 6 King martial arts technique, but it unleashed immense power.
In fact, no Enlightenment Realm martial artist would be able to reflect the true power of the Imperial Divine Weapon or King martial arts.
If a martial artist at Peak Lv 9 True Darkness Realm cultivated Murong Wudi's Mountains-Weight Skill to an advanced level, he could easily kill a weak Martial King Realm martial artist.
Similarly, if a strong martial artist at Peak Lv 9 True Darkness Realm wielded Su Mo's Sky-Crushing Sword, a medium Lv 6 Imperial Divine Weapon, he could break open a lofty mountain and a space barrier.
Though Su Mo's Nirvana Swordplay had only reached minor completion, it was already very powerful.
This move, Dark Serenity, was the second move of Nirvana Swordplay. Compared to the previous sword, this was at least twice as powerful.
At the sharp increase in Su Mo's attack power, Murong Wudi's face changed and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Su Mo's strength had surpassed his expectations.
The fact that Su Mo dared to make such a bet meant that his strength was extraordinary. However, rather than fear, Su Mo's power awakened Murong Wudi's dormant fighting desire.
The fight was not for the prize!
This fight was not for revenge!
This fight was just for the title of 'The Invincible'.
After this fight, one of them would become the true invincible person amongst his peers!
"Fight!"
As Murong Wudi shouted, a loud rumble rose from his body. The gray Vital Spirit enveloping around him turned into small mountains in an instant.
In a flash, Murong Wudi was surrounded by thousands of mountains, like a mountain-controlling overlord.
At the same time, a powerful invisible gravitational force swept out and the pull of the gravitational field became stronger!
Chapter 480: Intense Battle
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Murong Wudi unveiled his true prowess, the mighty gravitational field increasing in strength yet again.
Due to the increased strength of the Gravitational Field, Su Mo, hurtling upwards, froze for a moment as his speed was greatly reduced.
Similarly, the strength of his powerful sword attack was vastly weakened, carrying only half of its original power.
"Mountainous Fist!"
Murong Wudi punched once again. His black gauntlet shone brightly when he raised his fist, and the Vital Spirit circling around him came together to form a mountain, instantly integrating itself with his fist force.
The punch was like a mountain crushing down, its fist force also carried the weight of a mountain, instantly sucking the air out of the area for miles, turning it into a vacuum zone.
Only an intense fist radiance and an incredibly sharp sword Qi remained in the void.
Boom!
As the crowd watched on, the fist radiance and sword Qi collided with a loud bang. The explosion swept the surrounding area with such violent force that it felt like the apocalypse.
Fwoosh!
Both Su Mo and Murong Wudi were knocked back by the force of the explosion.
"Su Mo, there is no way you'll be able to defeat me!" Murong Wudi proclaimed proudly, but his face turned serious as he did not expect Su Mo to display such incredible strength even in the face of his powerful Gravitational Field.
Su Mo smiled coldly, and said "There is no way you'll be able to defeat me, either!"
He remained extremely confident, for he had an invincible defense.
His body possessed an incredible defensive strength, and combined with his protective Vital Spirit, this placed him in an unbeaten position.
As strong as his opponent's Gravitional Field was, even if the Gravitional Field had a significant effect on his strength, his opponent would still not be able to break past his defence.
The crowd was buzzing in shock.
Many disciples continued to flock toward the Casino Valley, with almost 200,000 people gathering in the short time.
Whether he won or lost, Su Mo's name would be known all throughout the Celestialspirit Sect after today.
"Su Mo's strength is so amazing. He's on par with Murong Wudi!"
"Yeah, it will be hard to determine the outcome of this match!"
"I reckon Su Mo's attack is stronger than Murong Wudi's by far, but under the influence of the Gravitational Field, their strength is now well-matched!"
The crowd was all stunned at Su Mo's strength. People who were certain earlier that Su Mo would be defeated now wavered, for based on the situation right now, it would be hard to predict the winner!
"Su Mo, the arena within the Casino Valley is too narrow, let us have an aerial battle!" Murong Wudi said as he headed for the sky.
Su Mo frowned at his words. Carrying out the battle within the fighting ring put Su Mo at an advantage because of Murong Wudi's Gravitational Field.
Within the fighting ring, Su Mo was still able to display 90% of his speed even with the gravitational pull of a million pounds since his feet were planted firmly on the ground.
His speed would be greatly restricted in the air as he would no longer be able to rely on the force at his feet.
However, Su Mo felt more relieved after some thought. Even if they did not have an aerial battle, his opponent was still in the skies above the fighting ring, so it would not be easy for him to engage in close combat. Moreover, he was not afraid even if they took the battle to the skies!
Swoosh!
Su Mo flew upward like a sword piercing through the skies, and followed closely behind Murong Wudi, reaching the top of the clouds in a matter of seconds.
The two stood one kilometer apart, facing each other.
"Su Mo, you are a pretty good opponent. Let us do our best in today's battle!" Murong Wudi said seriously, as his Gravitational Field covered the area again.
Su Mo's body shook as a huge gravitational weight fell upon him, and almost caused him to fa fall from the skies.
"Let's do this!" Su Mo said nothing more as a strong fighting desire appeared in his eyes.
Pop!
His Vital Spirit shook suddenly, and the void rumbled as he pushed past the chains of gravity and rushed at Murong Wudi.
"Take this, Mountainous Fist!" Murong Wudi shouted.
His fist burst out, and dozens of mountains formed by his Vital Spirit integrated into his fist force, increasing its power by many times.
With one punch, the void exploded and the air shattered, instantly turning all of the clouds within a five kilometer radius into nothing.
The incredible fist force turned into a mountain hundreds of meters tall, generating huge gusts of wind that headed straight at Su Mo to flatten him.
"Haha, this is great!" Su Mo laughed.
Just as the huge mountain approached him, his sword hacked down ruthlessly.
He did not call upon any martial arts techniques, but with his body's amazing strength coupled with the strength of his Vital Spirit, no attack would stand a chance against him.
Boom boom boom!
With a loud explosion, the huge mountain was hacked apart by that one sword, scattering into the distance.
Su Mo paused, then flew toward Murong Wudi again.
"Pretty good!" Murong Wudi shouted, then continued "Only a handful of peers within Celestial spirit Sect are able to take this punch. Su Mo, you should be proud of yourself!"
"Now take my 10 punches!" Murong Wudi moved yet again, his fist force gushing like a river, as 10 Vital Spirit mountains even larger than before joined together as one and headed for Su Mo.
Every one of those ten mountains was more than 330 meters tall, with a dense Vital Spirit rumbling within. Su Mo looked incredibly tiny in front of the ten mountains, almost non-existent.
However, small he might be, the power he could unleash was unimaginable.
Su Mo did not stop rushing forward, his Sky-crushing sword raised high, releasing a 50 meter tall sword ray into the sky before it turned into a gigantic sword imbued with sword will.
"Destroy!" Su Mo shouted. Five-colored sword rays swirled around the gigantic sword, and Su Mo violently sliced downward with both hands gripping his sword.
Boom!
The void shook as heaven and earth split apart. The gigantic sword landed on the first mountain, and the mountain exploded at the contact. Then next came the second, third….and finally the tenth mountain.
All ten gigantic mountains exploded one after another, sending out violent blast waves that swept across all directions.
Su Mo's figure was knocked back hundreds of meters by the strong blast waves.
Su Mo frowned for Murong Wudi's attack was extremely strong. Although it was not enough to defeat him, but it restricted his movements, not allowing him to get close to his opponent at all.
If he couldn't approach him, long-range attacks with his Vital Spirit would not be enough to defeat his opponent.
"Su Mo, I admit you're good, but you're still about to be defeated!" Murong Wudi stood in the skies, confidence written all over his face. "You're worthy of facing my strongest attack!"
"Time to end this!" Murong Wudi had grasped the extent of Su Mo's strength, and did not wish to waste any more time. He was prepared to finish the battle in one move.
Murong Wudi raised his fist, and the Gravitational Field enveloping the surroundings disappeared in an instant, shrinking into the fist.
Chapter 481: He's Losing His Place!
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The moment Murong Wudi withdrew his Gravitational Field enveloping the area, Su Mo felt the pressure lifting and lightness returning to his body. His Vital Spirit began to flow more smoothly.
Hm?
Su Mo raised his brows and doubt crept in his heart. He did not understand why his opponent would withdraw the Gravatational Field.
"Mountains-weight Fist" Murong Wudi shouted.
At that moment countless mountains formed by his surrounding Vital Spirit revolved around him and quickly integrated into his fist force.
After this Murong Wudi rose up, towering over Su Mo, and punched.
This fist was Murong Wudi's most powerful move, containing not just his boundless Vital Spirit, but also the entire Gravitational Field.
He compressed the entire Gravitational Field at its maximum, integrating it with his fist force, before releasing his punch.
Boom!
It pierced through the void, the vast fist force headed straight at Su Mo like a gushing river carrying a limitless gravitational force.
The power this punch carried was more than three times that of the previous punch. The gravitational field released a terrifying power following the compression.
"Amazing!" Su Mo's gaze sharpened. He could feel how powerful this punch was, and he turned serious.
He could not help marvelling at Murong Wudi's combat strength. There was no doubt that Murong Wudi's ability to battle at a higher level was the strongest he had ever seen. He even reckoned that Feng Shaoyu at Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm might not be able to defeat Murong Wudi.
In the face of such a powerful punch, Su Mo gave it everything he had. The entirety of his Vital Spirit gushed forth and without the Gravitational Field holding him back, he had regained peak status.
His nine Spiritual Spirals spun as fast as they could as limitless Five Elements Genuine Vitality poured into the Treasure Sword he held. Instantly, the sword ray from his Sky-crushing Sword surged to more than 660 meters tall, his sword will was unleashed, and his sword Qi filled the sky.
Roar!
The roar of a dragon reverberated, and the ground shook. A large golden shadow suddenly appeared behind Su Mo.
It was a humongous giant elephant, with the horns of a dragon. It stood handsomely at 330 meters tall, its body was completely covered in golden scale armour and gave off a golden glow.
It was the Archean Dragonesque Elephant!
This time when the figure of the Archean Dragonesque Elephant appeared, it no longer growled lifelessly, but it gave the deafening roar of a dragon.
The disciples watching were stunned at the appearance of the Archean Dragonesque Elephant.
"What's that? Some kind of Martial Soul?"
"No! That is no Martial Soul."
"This is a body cultivation technique — a powerful body cultivation technique adopted by the Demons!" Those who were more knowledgable exclaimed.
Many elders of Celestialspirit Sect were also watching the battle from afar. They were visibly moved by the display in front of them.
An imposing figure stood on top of Towering Sky Peak.
This person was none other than the peak master of Towering Sky Peak, Huangfu Qing!
A strange look flashed across his eyes as he watched Su Mo battling it out from afar, his face thoughtful.
"Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill, he has some luck!" Huangfu Qing said without betraying any expression, and soon disappeared in a flash.
Similarly on Dark Sky Peak, a gorgeous figure stood at the top of the mountain.
This woman was exceedingly beautiful, and resembled a goddess. She was the peak master of Dark Sky Peak, Fairy of the Ninth Heaven, also known as the most beautiful woman of East Continent, Qian Xunyue.
As she looked on at the ongoing battle, her face remained unchanged, but a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes.
As he fully unleashed both his physical and cultivation strength, Su Mo felt more powerful than he ever had before. Just then, Murong Wudi's ultimate punch drew n near.
Su Mo held his sword with both hands. Without hesitation he swung his Sky-crushing Sword and sliced at the Fist.
"Obliteration Cut!"
This was the mightiest move of Nirvana Swordplay, and possessed formidable force. The void shattered with one stroke of the sword, and destructive sword radiance clashed with Murong Wudi's powerful fist force.
Boom!
The void trembled violently when both attacks collided. The powerful fist force was split apart by Su Mo's sword and exploded with a loud bang.
Swoosh!
Su Mo was also sent flying, and only managed to halt the movement thousands of meters later.
The compressed Gravitational Field contained within Murong Wudi's fist force burst out in an instant, and unleashed a terrifying power.
The crowd marvelled at both Su Mo and Murong Wudi, for they both possessed the strength to proclaim themselves invincible amongst their level. At just Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm, the strength they unleashed was on par with martial artists at Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm.
"Eighth Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Brother, 11th Junior Brother seems slightly weaker than Murong Wudi!" Tian Chen sighed and shook his head upon seeing Su Mo get knocked back.
"Tenth Junior Brother, you're wrong! 11th Junior Brother's strength is on par with Murong Wudi!" Yun Fei shook his head.
"Oh? How so?" Tian Chen asked, puzzled.
"On the surface, it seemed like 11th Junior Brother was attacking, but in fact he was defending. To be specific, he was defending at close range. It was normal for him to be thrown back from such close range. On the other hand, Murong Wudi would remain unscathed since he had attacked at a long range." Yun Fei replied.
He continued, "They may be entering a long and drawn out battle. The victor will be the one with more Vital Spirit, he who can last longer!"
At his words, Tian Chen's doubts cleared and he nodded.
Yun Fei sighed, and added, "11th Junior Brother is the true prodigious talent! He has already surpassed us both in this short period."
Yunfei felt desolate as compared to Su Mo, the gap in their talent was obviously wide.
"I may not be able to defeat him either!" similarly, Feng Shaoyu sighed.
Their lips couldn't help but curl into a bitter smile.
Up in the sky, Su Mo stopped his body from moving any further, a trace of shock appearing on his face.
No wonder Murong Wudi dared to proclaim he was unbeatable amongst his peers, he was truly amazing!
Thinking back, this was the first time he had been forced this far back by a martial artist of the same level. Murong Wudi's combat strength was many times stronger than Tian Chen, who was also his peer.
However, no matter how strong Murong Wudi was, he would only be able to knock him back. Defeating him would be impossible!
Swoosh!
Su Mo rushed toward Murong Wudi once again.
Murong Wudi was even more stunned, unable to believe what he had just seen.
"How could it be?" Murong Wudi muttered.
He had thought that with this move, Su Mo would suffer a crushing defeat. But not only was Su Mo undefeated, he was also completely unharmed! He was shocked.
"Murong Wudi, let's go again!" Su Mo roared, and he quickly approached Murong Wudi.
His sword radiance flashed dazzlingly, and wave after wave of sword Qi rushed at Murong Wudi.
"Let's fight!" Murong Wudi tamped down the shock in his heart, and restarted the battle with Su Mo.
Fist shadows danced across the sky together with flashes of sword radiance and sword Qi as Su Mo and Murong Wudi continued to exchange blows.
The sky was filled with mighty fist force and piercing sword Qi.
They had both unleashed their mightiest combat strength, but were both equally matched.
Murong Wudi wanted to release his Martial Soul, but Su Mo was not drawing on the power of his Martial Soul. He was not about to release his first after he had proudly proclaimed he was undefeated amongst his peers.
They continued to battle it out from dawn to dusk, but were still unable to break the tie.
"Ah! Murong Wudi is about to be defeated!" someone with excellent foresight announced.
"There it is! Murong Wudi's Vital Spirit is almost exhausted, and his aura has begun to plummet!"
"Strange. How is Su Mo's Vital Spirit so dense that he just keeps getting more aggressive?"
Everyone had stopped gambling in the Casino Valley, for they were all awaiting the outcome of this battle. At last, the victor was gradually emerging!
Murong Wudi, undefeated amongst his peers, was about to lose his place!
