Chapter 394 - 395: Wind Rises, Clouds Surge

A terrifying surge of Soul Power instantly blasted into Fu Tianbo’s mind.

Fu Tianbo was a Martial Emperor Realm cultivator.

Among the younger generation, he was qualified to challenge even the scions of the Sacred Lands.

But in front of Su Mo, Fu Tianbo was less than nothing.

BOOM!

Just as Su Mo was about to push deeper with his Soul Power, he suddenly met with resistance inside Fu Tianbo’s mind.

A halo of light materialized out of thin air within his mind.

’This is... a seal on his sea of consciousness?’

Su Mo thought in surprise.

A seal on the sea of consciousness was a type of protective measure.

This allowed one to protect their secrets from being exposed during a Soul Search, and even provided a way to self-destruct.

RUMBLE!

The seal on Fu Tianbo’s sea of consciousness was already showing signs of self-destruction.

"Su Mo, even if you kill me, you can forget about getting the Martial Emperor’s Legacy in my mind! Just give up now!"

Fu Tianbo taunted wretchedly.

He knew that undergoing a Soul Search at Su Mo’s hands was a death sentence.

Before he died, he wanted to spite Su Mo one last time.

"Is that so?"

Su Mo smiled faintly. His formidable Soul Power morphed into a giant Soul Hammer and smashed down hard on the seal in Fu Tianbo’s sea of consciousness.

CRACK!

The seal on Fu Tianbo’s sea of consciousness shattered into dust.

Su Mo then enveloped the fragments of the seal with his powerful Soul Power, allowing them to self-destruct as they pleased.

BOOM!

The terrifying force slammed against Su Mo’s Soul Power.

Anyone else who suffered such an impact would have likely died from the backlash long ago.

But Su Mo was different.

His Soul Power was simply too strong. He could easily withstand even the self-destruction of a Martial Emperor’s Residual Soul.

However, the explosion nearly turned Fu Tianbo into a drooling idiot.

His eyes rolled back into his head, and he began to foam at the mouth.

Immediately after, Su Mo discovered a mass of purple Soul Power within Fu Tianbo’s sea of consciousness. It felt somewhat familiar.

’The Martial Emperor’s Legacy from the Purple Cloud Martial Emperor?’

Su Mo felt a jolt of pleasant surprise. He wrapped the purple energy with his own powerful Soul Power and forcibly ripped it out of Fu Tianbo’s sea of consciousness.

"What is that...?"

Shi Xiao asked in astonishment.

Su Mo said, "The Martial Emperor’s Legacy of the Purple Cloud Martial Emperor. It’s yours now."

SWISH!

With a flick of his finger, Su Mo sent the purple Soul Power into Shi Xiao’s sea of consciousness.

"AARGH..."

Shi Xiao cried out in pain.

However, nothing went wrong. Instead, his face filled with delighted surprise as he said, "The Purple Cloud Martial Emperor’s Legacy! Thank you, Lord Su!"

With that, he began to assimilate it.

Su Mo repeated the process, extracting the Martial Emperor’s Legacies of the Bright Moon Martial Emperor, the Celestial North Martial Emperor, and the Azure Profound Martial Emperor.

"The legacies of the Celestial North and Azure Profound Martial Emperors are for you two."

Su Mo said to Ling Hao and Pei Yuan.

Hearing this, the two became ecstatic and immediately dropped to their knees to thank Su Mo.

They had originally thought that only Huang Yanchen would be able to obtain a Martial Emperor’s Legacy.

Who would have thought...

’It truly was a case of "A New Village with Willows and Flowers."’

After thanking Su Mo, the two also sat down cross-legged and began to assimilate the legacies.

’There’s still one left. Who should I give it to?’

Su Mo mused, ’Xiao Lang and Xiao Lin definitely wouldn’t care for it. Never mind. I’ll give this Martial Emperor’s Legacy to that girl, Luo Yu.’

’Come to think of it, he and Luo Yu were quite fated to meet.’

’They had been through hardship together.’

Seeing the Martial Emperor’s Legacies he had schemed for so long to obtain end up in the hands of Su Mo and his people, Luo Fenghua roared in fury, "Su Mo, you dare use Soul Search to steal the Martial Emperor’s Legacies! Such an act defies the heavens! Aren’t you afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution? Heh. Why don’t you ask the damned heavens if they’ll dare to strike me down?"

Su Mo pointed to the sky and laughed.

BOOM!

A thunderclap exploded across the Nine Heavens.

Luo Fenghua was instantly overjoyed. "You dare to curse the heavens themselves? Hahaha! Just you wait! The heavens will strike you dead!"

With that, Luo Fenghua looked up at the sky in anticipation.

He Tianteng, Hua Gu, and the others were equally expectant.

If the heavens could just strike Su Mo dead, not only would they survive, but they could also take the opportunity to kill the Ninth Floor Master and the others, pulling off a stunning comeback.

However...

They waited for a long time, but the thunder from beyond the Nine Firmaments never fell.

And so, they were all left dumbfounded.

’What’s going on?’

They had clearly heard the heavens’ fury, a thunderclap out of a clear sky, but a long moment passed with no further action.

’Could it be that the heavens are afraid?’

’Impossible!’

The idea was so insane that they crushed it the moment it flashed through their minds.

’This is the heavens we’re talking about.’

Luo Fenghua said through gritted teeth, "Brat, don’t get too smug. The heavens are just gathering their fury."

"That’s right! Once they’ve gathered enough anger, they’ll send down a peerless Celestial Thunder that will obliterate you without a trace!" He Tianteng added, not to be outdone.

"Tch!"

Su Mo scoffed. "I’ll show you what it really means to command the wind and summon the rain. Keep your damn eyes open and watch closely."

With that, Su Mo moved to stand directly beneath the opening in the ceiling of the tomb.

He was going to face the heavens directly!

’What’s this brat trying to do?’

’He can’t really think the heavens won’t strike him, can he?’

Luo Fenghua, He Tianteng, and the others stared at Su Mo, their faces filled with confusion.

They watched as Su Mo slowly raised his hand, pointed to the Nine Firmaments, and said, "You damned heavens, I’m about to undergo my tribulation. You’d better be cooperative, or don’t blame me for cursing you out later."

"Ha?"

Luo Fenghua and He Tianteng burst out laughing.

’Is this guy an idiot?’

’He’s actually ordering the heavens around.’

But in the next second...

Su Mo addressed the Nine Firmaments, "Let’s begin. Wind, rise!"

’Wind, rise? Rise my ass!’

’This idiot. He can’t possibly think he can actually command the heavens, can he?’

’Heh, he must be dreaming.’

Luo Fenghua and He Tianteng sneered.

Even the Ninth Floor Master and the others started to feel awkward.

But just then...

WHOOSH!

A fierce wind suddenly gusted from the Nine Firmaments, instantly spreading throughout Emperor Heaven Valley.

"Huh? Where did this wind come from all of a sudden?"

The people in Emperor Heaven Valley all looked up, staring at the Nine Firmaments in confusion.

However, Luo Fenghua and his group were dumbfounded.

This wind...

Luo Fenghua shook his head. "It’s just a coincidence. It’s impossible for anyone to truly command the heavens."

Little did they know that the previous two times Su Mo had undergone a tribulation, he had scared the heavens witless.

That was why the heavens were now showing him deference.

They didn’t want to offend Su Mo.

Under everyone’s incredulous stares, Su Mo pointed to the Nine Firmaments again and declared, "Clouds, gather!"

WHOOSH!

Amidst the howling gales, a mass of dark clouds quickly gathered in the Nine Firmaments.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled within the dark clouds.

Seeing this, everyone in the tomb was completely stunned, their faces masks of utter disbelief.

’Su Mo actually succeeded.’

’How is this possible?!’

’If the wind rising was a coincidence, then what about the clouds gathering?’

’Was that also just a coincidence?’

Seeing how cooperative the heavens were being, Su Mo couldn’t be bothered to drag it out. He pointed at the sky and said, "Forget it, I can’t be bothered to say any more. It’s too much trouble. Just send down all nine strikes of the Celestial Tribulation at once."

BOOM!

Nine thick bolts of black lightning immediately condensed within the dark clouds.

"This is... a Celestial Tribulation!"

"Heavens! Su Mo actually triggered a Celestial Tribulation, and he even asked for it himself!"

"How did he do that?"
