Chapter 376 377: Good Advice is Wasted on a Damned Soul

"I can do it!"

Seeing that Su Mo seemed a little angry, the Fifth Floor Master quickly said, "Once we're out of Emperor Heaven Valley, I'll buy one for you right away as a gift."

"Then it's a deal!"

Su Mo's tone shifted. "The power I just left inside your body can do more than just protect your vitals. It's also a Power Seed."

"A Power Seed?"

The Fifth Floor Master was confused.

Su Mo said, "This Power Seed contains a wisp of my Origin imprint. If you refine it, you can break through to the Martial Venerable Great Perfection Realm."

"What?"

The Fifth Floor Master stared blankly at Su Mo.

He knew Su Mo was strong.

But the idea that a mere Power Seed infused with a wisp of Origin Power could let him break through to Martial Venerable Great Perfection was simply inconceivable.

'Even a Martial Emperor couldn't do something like this, could they?'

The Fifth Floor Master asked in disbelief, "Su Xiaoyou, are you sure you aren't joking?"

"I'm not joking!"

Su Mo said, "But this Power Seed will only last for an hour. If you want to refine it, you'll have to hurry."

"I'll try!"

The Fifth Floor Master sat cross-legged on the ground and eagerly began to refine the Power Seed.

RUMBLE!

A terrifying power erupted from the Power Seed, causing the Fifth Floor Master's aura to skyrocket.

The Fifth Floor Master exclaimed in delight, "It's actually working!"

He, who had been somewhat skeptical before, now believed Su Mo completely, so shocked his jaw hung open.

'A single Power Seed is this powerful.'

'Then just how powerful is Su Mo himself?'

'A Martial Emperor?'

'Or a Martial Saint?'

Just then, Su Mo suddenly asked, "By the way, do you know where the people from the Purple Cloud Palace and the Haoyue Sect went?"

"They went to the Emperor's Abyss!" the Fifth Floor Master replied.

Su Mo asked, "The Emperor's Abyss? What is that place?"

"The Emperor's Abyss is the burial ground for the ancestors of our Nine Great Forces. The Martial Emperor's Legacy is there as well," the Fifth Floor Master explained.

Su Mo nodded. "Alright, I understand. You all stay here and refine the Power Seed. I'm going to the Emperor's Abyss to find them."

With that, Su Mo leaped into the sky and flew toward the Emperor's Abyss.

Luo Yu watched Su Mo's receding figure and asked, "Fifth Floor Master, do you know what Brother Su is going to do at the Emperor's Abyss?"

"He's going to get revenge!" said the Fifth Floor Master.

Luo Yu said worriedly, "Revenge? Will Brother Su be okay? The Purple Cloud Palace Master and the Grand Elder are there, and they're both at the Martial Venerable Great Perfection Realm."

"The people from the Haoyue Sect, Celestial North Sect, and Cangxuan Sect might also be there fighting over the Martial Emperor's Legacy," Liu Ming added.

Luo Yu's face paled. "What? If they're at the Emperor's Abyss too, doesn't that put Brother Su in even more danger?"

"Fifth Floor Master, you have to call Brother Su back quickly," Liu Ming urged.

The Fifth Floor Master shook his head. "I'm afraid not. I have no way to contact Su Xiaoyou, so I can't call him back."

"What are we going to do?"

Luo Yu paced around frantically, like an ant on a hot pan. "The Sect Leaders of the Purple Cloud Palace, Haoyue Sect, Celestial North Sect, and Cangxuan Sect are all at the Martial Venerable Great Perfection Realm! And there are so many masters at the Martial Venerable Perfection Realm. There's no way Brother Su can handle them all."

"Who told you Su Xiaoyou can't handle them?" the Fifth Floor Master said calmly.

Luo Yu and Liu Ming looked at the Fifth Floor Master suspiciously.

The Fifth Floor Master asked, "Take a guess. What level of strength do you think Su Mo has now?"

"Well..."

Neither of them could answer.

Even Su Mo didn't know his own true strength, so how could the two of them possibly know?

The Fifth Floor Master said with complete confidence, "Let me tell you the truth. Even a Martial Emperor might not be able to stop Su Mo."

"What?"

The three of them were stunned.

They knew Su Mo was strong, a match for any Martial Venerable Great Perfection expert in a one-on-one fight.

But for the Fifth Floor Master to claim that even a Martial Emperor couldn't stop Su Mo...

That was just too much of an exaggeration!

Even in the Sacred Lands, a Martial Emperor was among the strongest of the strong. A single stomp of their foot could shake the entire Cangxuan Realm.

The Fifth Floor Master chuckled. "The ones who should be worried aren't us, but the people from the Purple Cloud Palace and Haoyue Sect. Heh heh, this time, they really picked a fight with the wrong person."

「Elsewhere...」

Soon, Su Mo arrived before the Emperor's Abyss.

The Emperor's Abyss was a full ten thousand meters wide, its length stretching beyond sight. It was like a great-mouthed Ice Giant Beast, constantly exhaling a frigid aura.

Many people were gathered here.

Su Mo asked, "Why aren't you all going in?"

An old man nearby shot Su Mo a look. "Go in? Are you nuts? Kid, do you really not know how terrifying this Emperor's Abyss is, or are you just pretending?"

"Terrifying?"

Su Mo looked toward the Emperor's Abyss in confusion.

'Aside from being a little colder than other places, I don't feel anything particularly terrifying about it.'

Still, this bit of cold was nothing to him.

The old man snorted. "You think I'm lying to you? Let me tell you, several groups have already tried to go in. They were all frozen solid, and they included more than a few masters at the Martial Emperor Great Perfection Realm. If you don't believe me, try it yourself."

Su Mo glanced toward the entrance of the Emperor's Abyss and, sure enough, saw several ice sculptures.

Among them were, indeed, several experts at the Martial Emperor Great Perfection Realm.

The old man continued, "And this is just the entrance. The frigid aura inside is probably even more terrifying. I'd advise you to get lost. Without the strength of an Early-Stage Martial Venerable, don't even think about getting close to the Emperor's Abyss."

"Furthermore, I'd guess that in the depths of the Emperor's Abyss, even an Early-Stage Martial Venerable expert wouldn't last more than a few breaths."

"An Early-Stage Martial Venerable, hmm?"

Su Mo murmured to himself, then lifted his foot and started walking into the Emperor's Abyss.

"Kid, what do you think you're doing?" the old man shouted.

Su Mo answered honestly, "Going in to kill some people."

"Huh?"

The old man sneered. "You want to kill people? With your paltry strength, you'll freeze to death long before you kill anyone."

Su Mo ignored the old man and continued walking toward the Emperor's Abyss.

The old man was about to try and persuade him again.

The middle-aged man traveling with him stopped him. "Forget it. You can't talk sense into someone who's determined to get himself killed. Young people these days get a little bit of talent and think they're invincible. They won't learn their lesson until they hit a brick wall."

"I was just trying to warn him that besides the bone-chilling cold, there are also many powerful Ice Giant Beasts hidden in the Emperor's Abyss," the old man said.

The middle-aged man shook his head. "Heh, who cares? Even if he ends up dead with no place for a burial, it has nothing to do with us. Let's go. This is no place for people like us. We should go find some Treasure somewhere else and stop wasting our time."

"Look, that kid actually went in!" a sudden cry of alarm came from the crowd.

The old man whipped his head around, dumbfounded. "What? He really went in? How come the frigid aura didn't freeze him?"

"Could it be that he practices some special Cultivation Technique?" the middle-aged man guessed.

While the two were talking, Su Mo had already reached the ice sculptures. He plucked the Storage Rings from them and said, "Even a mosquito is still meat. Can't let it go to waste. Oh, right, I wonder who these people belonged to. Should I help toss the bodies out?"
