Chapter 801: To Try In Vain To Be The East Continent's Hero

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

In the depths of the Sky-burn Mansion, there stood a huge square with an ancient stone gate at the center.

The giant stone gate was about 132 to 165 meters high and up to over 66 meters wide, cinereous all the way around.

However, the Stone Gate only with a huge doorframe without any door panels in the middle.

A large group of martial artists was gathering in the square, looking at the gigantic stone gate as they wore grave expressions on their faces.

Among them, some were healing their weak auras as they sat cross-legged. They had been terribly injured.

These martial artists were all experts, whose cultivation have reached the Martial King Realm. Only a few were at the True Darkness Realm.

Gong Lin and Sikong Yan were there.

Born with natural Fire Spiritual Build, Sikong Yan had a plan to go to the Sky-burn Mansion first with Gong Lin after he arrived in the Waste Domain.

"Junior Brother Sikong, I can't get into this inner mansion. You have to go in alone!" Gong Lin somberly said to Sikong Yan.

This gate to the inner mansion had a powerful formation forbiddance, which was too dangerous for Gong Lin.

They both learned about the Stone Gate after observing it for a long time.

"It's ok, Senior Brother. Just wait for me here." Said Sikong Yan.

"Junior Brother Sikong, Wenren Tiandu has entered the inner mansion before. So you can cooperate then!" Gong Lin said.

When they got into the Sky-burn Mansion, they met Wenren Tiandu, but he had already taken the lead in stepping into the inner mansion.

Wenren Tiandu's strength was stronger than Gong Lin had imagined. Although he did not reach the Martial King Realm, his strength was limitless.

Sikong Yan nodded, and then worked to slow his breathing to get ready to enter the inner mansion.

Confident as he was, he was still careful, for many people had been killed by the forbiddance at the entrance.

At that instant, a figure sped by and landed on the square.

Upon scanning the scene, Sikong Yan and Gong Lin's eyes widened in surprise.

"Su Mo!" They exclaimed together.

This flying figure was no other than Su Mo.

"You two, long time no see!"

Su Mo had already seen them and had decided to fly over to them as he did not want to conceal his identity.

Their faces suddenly darkened with the desire to kill and they began to gnash their teeth ferociously.

"You two hate me so much?" Su Mo asked with a smile.

He simply defeated them at the Talents' Grand Gathering. Despite he giving Gong Lin a hell of a licking, he was measured and did not hurt them seriously!

"Su Mo, you try in vain to be the East Continent's hero once you participated in the Devil Sect!"

Sikong Yan said coldly, "I am about to kill your Master!"

Sikong Yan slowly smothered his indignation. He did want to kill Su Mo, but he was uncertain if he would succeed.

He realized that Su Mo's cultivation was now at the Lv 9 True Darkness Realm, which astonished him.

Su Mo's strength was extraordinary when his cultivation was just at the Lv 4 True Darkness Realm, not to mention today's.

Therefore, even if Sikong Yan had reached the Martial King Realm, he still really dreaded fighting against Su Mo.

"I took part in the Devil Sect?" Su Mo was stumped upon hearing his words, before immediately understanding what he meant. Sikong Yan thought he was in cahoots with Huangfu Qing and had joined the Netherworld Devil Sect.

Su Mo tried to explain himself, but stopped instantly after realizing their conversation had attracted much attention.

He decided to explain later if he had the chance.

"What's this stone gate?" Su Mo asked Sikong Yan.

"Hum!" Sikong Yan snorted, ignoring Su Mo's question.

Su Mo had nothing to say as he examined the front stone gate carefully.

This stone gate was antique and simple, covered with various complex lines. These lines were extremely abstruse and seemed to be connected with all the forces. Apparly, it was a powerful formation.

At that moment, a tall middle-aged man took a deep breath and strode to the center of the Stone Gate.

His cultivation was strong, at the Lv 4 Martial King Realm.

Su Mo watched him carefully. Since this place had been the source of the shrieks, it was bound to be fraught with danger.

No sooner had the man stepped into the center than his body stood still.

Dazzling crimson lights blinked on the Stone Gate and it was no longer of primitive simplicity. Formidable turbulences of the formation pervaded everywhere.

Two seconds!

Four seconds!

Six seconds!

Pfft!

The middle-aged man vomited blood after six seconds, and his body was knocked back out of the Stone Gate.

"Hmm?"

Su Mo frowned. He actually could not figure out how the man were injured!

"Was it an attack on his mind?" Su Mo speculated.

But he soon rejected the idea. An attack on the mind could not go undetected!

"Even Cloud-splitting King failed!"

"It is impossible for us to pass the inner mansion through!"

"Those who got in before are so strong!"

Seeing the middle-aged man's defeat, everybody was filled with bitterness. Many of them had tried but failed.

There were people who had not tried as they were unsure if they should proceed for fear of death.

"It's the entrance to the inner mansion!" Su Mo thought with a sparkle in his eye.

The inner mansion was indeed, the core of the Sky-burn Mansion. As long as he entered the inner mansion, he was likely to find its treasure or the Craftsmanship Hall.

Su Mo immediately stepped forward towards the middle-aged man without any hesitation.

"Predecessor, may I ask what killing desires the entrance has?"

Sumo asked the middle-aged man in a low tone. He did not dare enter rashly and wanted to find out details.

Otherwise, it would too late for him to regret if he were to encounter a fatal crisis.

Since the middle-aged man, who has four accomplishments in Wu Wang's territory, had only lasted three breaths, it must have been a very difficult entrance to pass through.

"I fought with another version of me who had a higher cultivation!" the man told Su Mo before he simply sat down and began to heal.

"What?" Su Mo was frozen with puzzlement.

"Another self?" Su Mo did not know what that meant.

Just then, Su Mo heard footsteps and turned to look back and saw Sikong Yan stride to the Stone Gate.

Su Mo looked on at the scene intently. If Sikong Yan could enter, so could he.

Chapter 802: Damn it!

Sikong Yan strode into the Stone Gate and froze at once.

Su Mo gazed at Sikong Yan with widened eyes.

After 10 seconds or so, there was a swirl of white light and Sikong Yan disappeared immediately.

"What? He's actually in!" Su Mo thought in surprise, his eyes lighting up. Sikong Yan had obviously succeeded in entering the inner mansion.

A lot of people in front of the Stone Gate cried out at Sikong Yan's success.

"Who's he? It took 10 seconds only!"

"Amazing! He's probably from East Continent according to what he said."

"This person will likely to be on the List of 10,000 Talents in the future," The crowd was shocked and they talked about what they had witnessed. Although there were several dozens who had entered the inner mansion, the majority of them had spent more than 40 seconds.

Only a few people recorded a time of around 10 seconds.

His combat capacity must be extremely high and he was bound to possess spectacular hidden cards in order for him to pass the entry test and enter the inner mansion within 10 seconds.

Gong Lin smiled. He knew that Sikong Yan would be able to enter the inner mansion easily with his abilities. Even he was confident that he could do it. However, he did not dare to take the risk.

Gong Lin sat down cross-legged, biding his time until Sikong Yan returned.

Just then, a figure bolted through the Stone Gate.

Gong Lin sneered when he saw the figure. It was none other than Su Mo.

"You'd better die in the formation!" Gong Lin thought maliciously. He would feel at ease even if Su Mo simply picked up an injury.

To him, there was no greater shame than to be brutally defeated in public at the last Talents' Grand Gathering of East Continent.

The Spiritual Sword had stabbed more than 20 blood holes in his body in that battle. It had been a terrible sight.

Therefore, Gong Lin resented Su Mo deeply. He would have long exploded had he not known that he was no match for Su Mo.

Right after Sikong Yan entered the inner mansion, Su Mo rushed into the Stone Gate like lightning without any hesitation.

His strength was much stronger than Sikong Yan's. There is nothing to worry about as Sikong Yan entered the inner mansion with ease.

As soon as he burst into the center of the Stone Gate, Su Mo felt the scene before him change. He arrived at an empty space.

Then, Su Mo saw a glimmer in front of him and a figure appeared.

The first sight of the silhouette confounded Su Mo. This figure resembled Su Moclosely, in appearance, expression as well as aura.

However, its cultivation was not at Lv 9 True Darkness Realm but had reached Lv 1 Martial King Realm.

Much to Su Mo's astonishment, the figure, surrounded by five-colored Dark Force, simulated his Five Elements Dark Force.

Su Mo figured out that the ordeal to get into the inner mansion was to defeat the simulacrum, which cultivation was one level higher than his.

"It should be an illusory body created by the formation of the Stone Gate, which can imitate both cultivation and martial arts technique."

"What a difficult test it was! How could an ordinary martial artist defeat a more powerful version of himself?"

"It was almost impossible to win with the same martial arts techniques but different cultivation."

"A martial artist would only be able to defeat his opponent if he had mastered a certain hidden card which was beyond the simulacrum,"

Su Mo pondered in a flash. His calm expression revealed absolute confidence.

"You can imitate my property combination? No way!" Su Mo said with a laugh, merging five Dark Forces into three.

Su Mo did not hesitate to strike out with a punch.

This blow, without any feints, engendered gigantic three-colored fist radiance, pounding another simulacrum.

With Lv 1 Martial King Realm cultivation, the simulacrum used the Nirvana Swordplay instantly to slash against the fist radiance.

It used Five Elements Dark Force and Nirvana Swordplay, yet, the sword radiance was still five-colored.

The simulacrum had failed to model Su Mo's property combination.

Swish!

The five-colored sword Qi, with great momentum, beat against Su Mo's fist radiance all of a sudden.

Boom!

There was no doubt that everything was destroyed after a loud thump.

The simulacrum dissipatedinto nothingness instantaneously and completely vanished.

It had ended with just one move!

Even though the simulacrum had duplicated the Five Elements Dark Force and Nirvana Swordplay and had a Lv 1 Martial King Realm cultivation, it was no match for Su Mo without property combination.

The five-colored Dark Force was vastly different from the combined three-colored one. The disparity between the two was unimaginable!

After killing the simulacrum, Su Mo left this empty space for the outside space without delay.

A wave of dizziness swept over him. His body was wrapped in a white light and was sent away.

Gong Lin and other martial artists stood dully in front of the Stone Gate, staring at Su Mo who had disappeared.

After a short silence, someone said at last.

" How long did he take?"

" It seems… seems less than four seconds!"

"My god! How is it possible?"

It was a bombshell to them. It was incredible that a person had passed the formation's trial within four seconds

Even Sang Tian, who had entered the inner mansion before, spent eight seconds, while this young man took less than four seconds!

Su Mo left everybody in a state of amazement.

Gong Lin's face turned livid with rage. He had been imagining Su Mo's death in the formation and had not expected Su Mo to pass through it so quickly and so much faster than Sikong Yan.

While he knew that Su Mo was powerful, it did not have much bearing on the test of the formation.

The more powerful you were, the stronger the simulacrums would be. Hence he thought Su Mo might have trouble going through the test.

But fact had proven that wrong. Su Mo's speed of passing through the formation was evidently incomparable.

"Damn it! Why is he so powerful!" Gong Lin growled, feeling aggrieved.

Gong Lin thought of himself as a genius. However, compared with Su Mo, he actually was good for nothing.

Su Mo's incomparable strength and his cultivating speed felt absurd to him.

Su Mo was at Lv 4 True Darkness Realm four months ago. But now Su Mo's cultivation had already caught up with him.

Gong Lin could not help feeling aggrieved and confused. His unwavering faith in pursuing martial arts had been shaken.

All his confidence, his pride, and persistence collapsed under the shadow of Su Mo's talent.
