Chapter 162: Chapter 146: Blade Severing the Space Gate, Violent Tower Breakthrough

"The Golden Essence Qi is indeed useful!"

In the Secret Realm, Su Mu’s Sword Momentum was heavily suppressed, and he couldn’t immediately detect the lurking alien races through killing intent and hostility.

This time, the Golden Essence Qi played a significant role.

He noticed that the Golden Essence Qi reacted, and its pointing direction swayed, which immediately put Su Mu on alert, and then he discovered the alien race among the ruins.

The alien race that entered the Secret Realm had prepared a lot of cultivation resources, and now all these resources became Su Mu’s spoils. Upon inventory, a sense of harvest joy filled his heart.

Killing twelve alien races yielded twelve Space Rings, with the least containing seventy to eighty thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones, and the most containing about two hundred thousand. In total, Su Mu gained an additional 1.57 million Upper Grade Spirit Stones.

Converted to Low-grade Spirit Stones, it’s a small goal achieved. Although it’s not particularly much for Su Mu now, the gain is always gratifying.

In terms of elixirs, there are over two hundred bottles, including some Human Race elixirs. Judging from some bloody weapons found in the rings, it seems those who entered the Secret Realm had died at the hands of this batch of alien races.

Fortunately, Su Mu didn’t find any Silver Sword Shield among them, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Not bad, there are over fifty weapons, only three to five are Fourth Level Weapons, and the rest are Fifth Level and above. Keep six sabers and extract Golden Essence Qi from the rest."

Su Mu looked satisfied and was quite pleased with the spoils.

Besides these, there were over fifty Blood Cores in the alien races’ Space Rings.

"The Blood Cores are a bit scarce."

He had spent considerable time on the Golden Essence Qi, but the total Blood Cores from these alien races were less than half of what he hunted himself.

Su Mu couldn’t help but suspect that this batch of alien races was slacking off.

...

Su Mu skillfully inventoried the spoils and began exploring the ruins before him.

The dilapidated buildings exuded an ancient aura. Su Mu stopped in front of a wall, which had a mural painted on it, blurred by the weather over time.

In the mural, it was unclear whether it depicted humans or alien races, standing left and right, holding a Long Sword and a Scepter.

"Long Sword, Scepter?"

Su Mu had no impression of these and continued forward. He bent down to pick up a piece of metal, intricately inscribed with complicated inscriptions, which made Su Mu’s eyes brighten.

Previously, he was troubled about what excuse to use to hand this Space Inscription to his teacher, and now he had an idea.

He could simply say he found it in the ruins within the Secret Realm.

Su Mu nodded to himself, weighed the piece of metal in his hand, and stored it in his Space Ring. He could collect a few more and give them to his teacher all at once.

Walking around the ruins yielded little else, and finally, Su Mu arrived at the two-story Ruined Tower he was most interested in.

The Ruined Tower before him was larger than the Tower of Power but slightly smaller than the Grandmaster Tower.

Su Mu activated his Insightful Eyes and carefully circled around, discovering an anomaly.

One stone was slightly more prominent than others. When Su Mu touched it, intricate inscriptions flashed briefly, the stone recessed, and a hole appeared.

"Is this to be activated with Spirit Stone?"

Su Mu inserted an Upper-Grade Spirit Stone into it but saw no reaction.

"Could it be malfunctioning, or not a Spirit Stone?"

Su Mu scrutinized the shape and size of the hole and thought of Blood Cores.

"Is it Blood Cores?"

Su Mu took out a Blood Core and inserted it; this time, there was a reaction. The Blood Core emitted a blood-red glow, illuminating the inscriptions surrounding the hole, but it quickly faded away.

"Does it require more Blood Cores?"

Su Mu still had many Blood Cores at hand, so he used them, immediately inserting a second Blood Core, causing the hole and the tower’s inscriptions to brighten slightly.

Seeing this, Su Mu’s eyes brightened, knowing his thinking was correct, so he continued.

As one Blood Core after another was inserted, the Ruined Tower steadily lit up, and spatial fluctuations emerged from a certain point, gradually opening a Space Gate.

However, after inserting nearly a hundred Blood Cores, Su Mu realized further attempts provoked no response, and the tower stopped absorbing Blood Cores.

"Is there an issue with the Ruined Tower?"

Su Mu frowned, sensing that the tower was just a hair’s breadth from being fully activated. Giving up now seemed like a failure.

Even after some tinkering, there was no change.

Su Mu looked at the blood-red inscriptions flashing on the Ruined Tower, his gaze landing on the Space Gate. An audacious thought emerged in his mind.

...

Light flashed in Su Mu’s hand as he drew out a Long Saber, which emitted a soft hum upon appearance, indicating the Blade Qi had been cultivated to the extreme.

Giving away nearly a hundred Blood Cores without gaining something in return was unacceptable to Su Mu.

The Ruined Tower in the ruins was unclaimed property, allowing Su Mu to act without burden. In that case, why not try slashing it?

With Insightful Eyes, Su Mu pinpointed the weakest spot of the Space Gate.

Breathe!

He took a deep breath, consumed a Blood Essence Pill to protect his internal organs and meridians, ignited the Condensed Blood, then drew the saber, unleashing the overwhelming Blade Qi.

Su Mu infused the Sword Momentum onto the saber, fully activating the Blade Qi, sending forth a substantial sword light several meters long in an instant.

He then stepped forward, executing the Secret of Power instantly.

Surging Waves Saber Technique First Form: Riding the Wind!

Su Mu slashed towards the Space Gate.

Screech!

A space rift instantly formed under the blade’s edge, and the moment the blade touched the Space Gate, the inscriptions on the entire tower shook violently, and then it shattered, dimming down.

The Space Gate was then slashed apart by the blade mingled with the space rift, causing the surrounding space to tremble with the sharp "crack" sounds.

A small space emerged out of thin air, blending with the ruins. During this integration, a shocking scene unfolded as parts of the ruined structures vanished.

...

Outside the Secret Realm, a sharpness suddenly emanated from Moonlight Valley, generating a space rift, causing the space to tremble and the battlefield to rumble once again.

"What happened?"

"Did the Secret Realm undergo a mutation?"

Top experts from both sides were startled and rushed to Moonlight Valley, with Chai Wu from the Human Race camp looking perplexed, unsure if it was an illusion.

He felt the sharpness just now resembled the Sword Momentum that Su Mu executed.

"This, this can’t be possible, the Qi Blood Secret Realm severely suppresses Sword Momentum, so how could Su Mu execute such a terrifying Sword Momentum within?"

"It’s probably my perception that’s incorrect." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

...

"What disturbance is this?"

"Did someone find a way to enter the Relic Tower?"

Inside the Secret Realm, many turned to a certain direction.

...

As the battlefield was abuzz with curiosity, Su Mu had already prepared ahead and activated the Extreme Shadow Body Technique to retreat, coughing violently and spitting blood, yet his eyes lit up with excitement.

"As expected, I cannot slash through space in the outside world."

"But the space of this Alien Race Battlefield and the Secret Realm is far more fragile than that of the outside world. With the support of Sword Momentum and the Secret of Power, I can temporarily slash through this space."

"This slash truly reached the Grandmaster level!"

Su Mu promptly sheathed the Long Saber; despite the blade’s edge bearing many nicks from the space rift damage, the internal structure remained intact, and the Blade Qi didn’t leak.

He sheathed the saber and looked ahead.

Due to Su Mu’s slash that broke through the Ruined Tower’s Space Gate, the merging of the two spaces formed an extremely bizarre space, rendering it increasingly unstable.

A half-bookcase appeared in the merged space, with two volumes, one intact and the other having half vanished, consumed by the space.

Su Mu didn’t feel disappointed, as at least one volume was intact; had he not used the saber, he would have been left with nothing, losing nearly a hundred Blood Cores pointlessly.

"It’s not safe to stay here."

Su Mu promptly stepped into the merged space and took the two volumes.
