Chapter 380 381: The Power of a Single Finger

Hmm?

Hearing that someone had obtained a Martial Emperor's Legacy, Su Mo couldn't help but be surprised.

'That fast?'

Huang Yanchen's expression turned grave. "That direction is the tomb of the Purple Cloud Palace's ancestor. It seems Fu Tianbo must have obtained the Martial Emperor's Legacy."

Su Mo nodded.

Fu Tianbo's aptitude was among the very best of the Nine Great Forces. It wasn't surprising that he could obtain a Martial Emperor's Legacy in such a short time.

"We need to hurry up, too!" the Sixth Floor Master said urgently.

They had to obtain the Drunken Immortal Tower ancestor's Martial Emperor's Legacy before the Purple Cloud Palace came to kill them. Otherwise, they would have to wait another hundred years.

Within those hundred years, the Drunken Immortal Tower would have probably been wiped out eight times over.

"Let's go! Inside!" the Sixth Floor Master urged.

Su Mo and the others nodded. Just as they were about to head deeper into the passage, another terrifying aura erupted in the distance.

This terrifying aura was even stronger than the last one.

"Another Martial Emperor's Legacy?" Su Mo said in surprise.

Huang Yanchen and the Sixth Floor Master were also visibly astonished.

As far as they knew, among the Nine Great Forces, only Fu Tianbo was qualified to obtain a Martial Emperor's Legacy. How had another one appeared now?

"The Haoyue Sect has been hiding its strength so well!" the Sixth Floor Master said, his expression flickering.

Su Mo asked, "You mean the Martial Emperor's Legacy just now was obtained by a disciple of the Haoyue Sect?"

The Sixth Floor Master nodded grimly.

The direction the aura had come from was precisely where the passage to the Haoyue Sect ancestor's tomb was located.

Huang Yanchen gritted her teeth. "No wonder the Haoyue Sect was the first to agree with the Purple Cloud Palace to open Emperor Heaven Valley. It turns out they were also after the Martial Emperor's Legacy, and they actually succeeded."

BOOM! BOOM!

However, before her words had even faded, the terrifying auras of two more Martial Emperor's Legacies erupted.

This time, Huang Yanchen was completely stunned.

'Besides the Haoyue Sect and the Purple Cloud Palace, someone else obtained a Martial Emperor's Legacy?'

"Who was it this time?" Su Mo asked curiously.

The Sixth Floor Master's voice trembled. "It was the Celestial North Sect and the Cangxuan Sect. Damn it... How did those two manage to get Martial Emperor's Legacies as well?"

"The Celestial North Sect and the Cangxuan Sect..."

Su Mo looked astonished.

The four great forces that had offended him had all obtained a Martial Emperor's Legacy at the same time.

'This just got interesting.'

"Let's hurry!" the Sixth Floor Master urged, his face dark.

Now that four of the great forces had obtained a Martial Emperor's Legacy, it wouldn't be long before they came to kill them and stop the Drunken Immortal Tower.

By then, they would be in grave danger.

'We have to seize this chance to get the Martial Emperor's Legacy, then escape this place and find somewhere to develop slowly.'

TAP! TAP! TAP!

The group advanced at high speed and soon arrived at the deepest part of the passage.

Before them was an Ice Gate.

The Sixth Floor Master explained, "Su Xiaoyou, once we pass through this Ice Gate ahead, we'll be inside our ancestor's tomb."

"Oh?"

Su Mo looked at the Ice Gate curiously. A thick wall of ice blocked their path.

In front of the Ice Gate, several weakened Martial Artists lay strewn about.

It was the Ninth Floor Master and his people.

Besides the Ninth Floor Master and the others, there were also three young disciples.

"You're finally here!"

The Ninth Floor Master greeted Huang Yanchen and Su Mo weakly.

Huang Yanchen rushed forward and asked with concern, "Master Jiu, how are you all? Who injured you so badly?"

"Who else could it be? He Tianteng and Li Dao Ming, of course, plus those old bastards Luo Fenghua and Hua Gu," the Ninth Floor Master said hatefully.

"Damn them..." Huang Yanchen cursed, filled with rage.

The Ninth Floor Master waved his hand. "Let's not worry about that for now. Su Xiaoyou, let me introduce you. These three are also disciples of our Drunken Immortal Tower."

"How come I've never seen them before?" Su Mo asked.

The Ninth Floor Master chuckled in a low voice. "If the Haoyue Sect, Celestial North Sect, and Cangxuan Sect can hide their true strength, then so can our Drunken Immortal Tower. These three are Closed-door Disciples I personally selected and secretly trained. Other than the few of us Floor Masters and Yanchen, no one else knows about them."

"I see!" Su Mo said in sudden realization.

'The conflict between the Nine Great Forces is truly brutal. They're even resorting to secret tactics.'

"The talent of these three is second only to Yanchen's. They are all qualified to be an Inheritor of the Martial Emperor."

The Ninth Floor Master turned to the three and snapped, "What are you three spacing out for? Hurry up and pay your respects to Su Xiaoyou."

"Greetings, Lord Su!"

The three bowed respectfully to Su Mo.

"You may rise."

Su Mo studied the three of them curiously.

'As Closed-door Disciples secretly trained by the Ninth Floor Master, and candidates for the Martial Emperor's Legacy, these three should be quite arrogant.'

'I didn't expect them to be so polite to me.'

The Ninth Floor Master seemed to have read Su Mo's mind and explained, "Su Xiaoyou, I've already told them all about how you killed Li Kun and shattered the seal with a single finger. After hearing about your deeds, they admire you from the bottom of their hearts."

"Ah, so that's it!"

Su Mo understood.

The Ninth Floor Master turned his head and sternly berated the three, "From now on, if you dare to show any disrespect to Su Xiaoyou, it will be the same as disrespecting all the ancestors of our Drunken Immortal Tower. Not only will I revoke your status as Inheritors of the Martial Emperor, but I will also kill you without mercy."

"Yes!"

The three became even more respectful toward Su Mo.

Su Mo pointed at the Ice Gate behind them and asked, "Since you were all already here, why didn't you smash the Ice Gate and go in?"

"This Ice Gate can't be smashed!"

The Ninth Floor Master shook his head. "This Ice Gate was forged by our ancestor on his deathbed. Although he didn't use his full power as a Martial Emperor, it's still indestructible. With our strength, we can't even budge it."

"Is that so?"

Not convinced, Su Mo walked up to the Ice Gate, extended a finger, and gave it a light poke.

BOOM!

The seemingly indestructible Ice Gate exploded into fragments.

"The Ice Gate... opened?"

The Ninth Floor Master and the others stared blankly at the shattered Ice Gate and Su Mo.

The Ice Gate that the three of them combined couldn't shatter had just been poked open by Su Mo with a single finger.

'What just happened?'

"It's open?"

Su Mo turned to look at the Ninth Floor Master and asked, "Didn't you say it couldn't be budged no matter what?"

The Ninth Floor Master's face was a mask of embarrassment.

Inside, however, he was incomparably shocked.

'Su Mo poked open the Ice Gate with one finger when the three of them couldn't break it with their full strength. Doesn't that mean the power in one of Su Mo's fingers is greater than all three of theirs combined?'

"This... Ninth Floor Master, I feel like Su Xiaoyou is even stronger than he was a few days ago?"

"I feel it too."

"Su Xiaoyou was strong a few days ago, but he wasn't this terrifyingly monstrous."

"When Su Xiaoyou ran into us just now, he shattered two Ice Giant Beasts with just a wave of his sleeve."

The group murmured amongst themselves.

A thought struck the Ninth Floor Master. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Su Xiaoyou, did you obtain the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spiritual Spring?"

"That's right. I've already broken through to the Early Stage Grand Martial Artist realm."

Su Mo released his realm's aura.

"This..."

Everyone was stunned.

Judging by his realm's aura, Su Mo was indeed only an Early Stage Grand Martial Artist, but his power was nearly on par with a Martial Emperor's.

It was simply unbelievable.

'To think such a monster exists in this world!'
