“A dog?”

When Shi Heng heard what Su Mo had said, his face turned red and he was fuming with anger. He shouted, “Wu Shan, how dare you speak presumptuously! Don’t you know that you are doomed!?”

Shi Heng was filled with immense killing intent after he was humiliated by Su Mo. After all, he was a genius in Palmy Branch and he had never been humiliated before.

He had intended to help Xiao Yushu, but at that moment, he had no qualms about killing Wu Shan.

“Why not?”

Su Mo smiled and said, “I am keen to find out how powerful the martial artists in Cloud Ridge World are!”

Having said that, sword radiance flashed across Su Mo’s hand. He wielded his sword and attacked Shi Heng immediately.

Since Shi Heng wanted to deal with him, Su Mo would not show him any mercy. However, the blow that he had thrown out was merely to test Shi Heng out. He was eager to find out the power of the martial artists in Cloud Ridge World.

The Chaotic Sword Qi was as sharp as divine light. It contained immense killing intent as it moved toward Shi Heng to attack him.

“Chaotic Power Source?”

When Shi Heng saw that Su Mo had displayed Chaotic Power Source, he was taken aback. However, he was not afraid of him.

“Defeat!”

Instead of retreating, Shi Heng flew toward the Sword Qi and took it head-on. He wielded his saber and all of a sudden, chilled air raged through the area as the saber radiance cut across the sky.

When Shi Heng threw out the blow, chilled air emitted from the Saber Qi and the surrounding area turned into ice. It was bone-chilling, and it was as though one was in the world of ice.

That was the power of the Rules. It was so powerful that it had the ability to seal the area with ice.

As expected, before Su Mo’s Chaotic Sword Qi could come into contact with the saber radiance, it had been overpowered by the Rules of Ice. The power of the Chaotic Sword Qi was greatly affected and it was smashed into pieces.

After the saber radiance had smashed the Sword Qi, it continued forcefully to attack Su Mo.

Due to the might of the Rules of Ice, Su Mo was frozen in the sky.

Shi Heng sneered when he saw it. Wu Shan, do you not possess great talent? Why are you so useless?

If Wu Shan had possessed great talent, even if his cultivation level was lower than that of Shi Heng by one rank, he could at least contend with him for two blows. However, Shi Heng was about to defeat Wu Shan effortlessly with one blow.

Just as the saber radiance was about to hit Su Mo and crush him, the space around Su Mo started to crack.

Boom!

The surrounding space that was sealed with ice exploded and was nowhere to be seen. Without any delay, Su Mo threw out a blow and hit the saber radiance.

The saber radiance blasted and smashed the area that was sealed with ice.

“Which level are you at for your Rules?” Su Mo asked in amazement. He was not surprised by Shi Heng’s strength, but he was amazed by his powerful Rules.

Su Mo reckoned that Shi Heng’s power of the Rules was at Rank 9 at the least and it was impressive.

In the Cosmic World, no one below the Supreme Being Realm could possess Rank 9 for the Rules.

As for Su Mo, his Devouring Rules had reached Rank 7 Middle Stage, and even if he were to continue to comprehend it, it would be difficult for him to make any further progress.

“Rank 7!”

Shi Heng smiled proudly and said, “You will never have the opportunity to reach this level!”

Having said that, Shi Heng threw out another blow. He activated the Rules of Ice, and the mighty power engulfed the area. Once again, the surrounding space was sealed by ice, enveloping Su Mo within.

However, this time around, the spot where Su Mo was standing was cleared from the ice as the Chaotic Power Source in his body was surging vigorously.

Su Mo’s strength had way surpassed that of Shi Heng, but he was not in a hurry to kill Shi Heng. He was full of curiosity.

Shi Heng had told Su Mo that the level of his Rules was at Rank 7 and it had to be so as there was no reason for him to deceive Su Mo.

However, Su Mo found it impossible. Even if Shi Heng’s Rules was at the Great Completion Stage, it could not be that powerful!

Su Mo was doubtful as his strength was greatly affected by the mighty Rules of Ice. He believed that only martial artists who possessed a high level as Rank 9 could have such might.

Could it be that the Rules in the Cosmic World and Cloud Ridge World are different? Su Mo reckoned.

“Die!”

Suddenly, Shi Heng cried out and attacked Su Mo vigorously. He brandished the saber in his hand, and several rays of chilling Saber Qi shot fiercely toward Su Mo.

Cold!

It was chilling! The Rules of Ice and the mighty chilling Saber Qi were so mighty that they could freeze the Spiritual Soul of the top powers.

However, that was nothing in the eyes of Su Mo.

“You shall be the one to die!”

Killing intent flashed across Su Mo’s eyes as he wielded his sword. He had no intention to waste any more of his time and he was ready to kill Shi Heng with a blow.

Buzz!

Purple radiance burst out of Su Mo’s body and it contained the ability to dissolve everything that came its way. Wherever the purple light passed, the frozen space would collapse.

Swoosh!

Su Mo slashed out with his sword, throwing out a mighty Sword Qi. The Sword Qi cut across the horizon at lightning speed and targeted Shi Heng.

The power of the Sword Qi was several folds mightier than the earlier blow and it contained great devouring power.

Rumble!

There were earth-shattering explosions as the vast number of chilling Saber Qi was being destroyed. The mighty Chaotic Sword Qi was formidable and it moved steadily toward Shi Heng.

“How can this be!?”

Shi Heng widened his eyes in amazement when he saw the Sword Qi approaching him. He reckoned that he would defeat Su Mo but he had not expected Su Mo’s strength to heighten all of a sudden. He was unable to take the blow.

Shi Heng immediately tried to duck away from the blow.

However, he was unable to do so as the mighty devouring power had restricted his movements. That left him petrified.

“Smash it!”

Shi Heng roared and slashed out with his saber when he saw the Sword Qi coming toward him. He attempted to counter the Sword Qi.

Boom!

There was a great explosion and it shook the Nine Heavens. The saber hit the Sword Qi but Shi Heng was unable to fend off Su Mo’s mighty blow despite his great strength.

The minute the saber hit the Sword Qi, Shi Heng’s body exploded and turned into Blood Fog.

Swoosh!

A ray of light dashed out from the Blood Fog and it was an Illusory Icy Jade that was emitting chilled air. It was Shi Heng’s Primordial Spirit that was trying to escape.

However, anyone who had been defeated by Su Mo could forget about escaping.

Su Mo activated the Devouring Rules and the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit and the mighty devouring power consumed the Illusory Icy Jade in an instant.

“No…!”

Shi Heng’s devastating voice was heard crying out from the Icy Jade but he could not change his fate. In an instant, the Icy Jade was devoured by Su Mo.

After Su Mo had devoured the Icy Jade, he refined it immediately. Shi Heng was annihilated.

Back when Su Mo had refined the people whom he had devoured, he had been dependent on the Devouring Primordial Spirit to do the job. At the moment, he depended on the Vastness Purple Qi and the Devouring Rules.

After Shi Heng’s Icy Jade Primordial Spirit had been devoured by Su Mo, it was immediately refined by the Vastness Purple Qi.

The Vastness Purple Qi had utterly replaced the Devouring Primordial Spirit. However, Su Mo was unable to control it with high proficiency.

“You have thought too highly of yourself!” Su Mo shook his head and stretched out his hand. He caught hold of Shi Heng’s saber that had flung out and put it away in his storage device. Having done so, he turned around and headed toward Myriad Holy Mountain.

As Su Mo was flying in the sky, he let out a sigh. Other than obtaining a higher cultivation level, his combat strength had plummeted.

Su Mo used to possess different types of Primordial Spirits and a large amount of Blood Force. His combat strength used to be mighty but after the Vastness Purple Qi had merged into his flesh and blood, it had replaced all his Primordial Spirits and Blood Force.

However, the power that the Vastness Purple Qi had displayed was not as powerful as the combined strength of the Primordial Spirits and the Blood Force, and that brought great disappointment to Su Mo.

“Eh?”

After flying for more than 10 breaths, Su Mo stopped suddenly. He looked baffled.

When he stretched out his hand, he saw the Vastness Purple Qi surging in his palm.

Soon, a small crystal had appeared on his palm. The size of the crystal was like a grain and it was blue and chilling.

“What is this?” Su Mo was appalled. He realized that the crystal had been refined from Shi Heng’s Primordial Spirit.

The crystal was refinable. Su Mo found the crystal unusual. As the crystal was refined by the Vastness Purple Qi, Su Mo felt that there was a faint connection between his Spiritual Soul and the crystal.

Su Mo pondered as he looked at the crystal. He started to trigger his Spiritual Soul to communicate with the crystal and activated it.

Suddenly, the surrounding area turned cold. The sky froze as the surrounding space turned into ice. Even Su Mo was almost frozen!

“This… this is the Rules… the attainments in the Rules!” Su Mo widened his eyes in amazement. He could not believe that he was able to devour another man’s Rules!
