The crowd was shocked as the tides turned. Su Mo had been about to be crushed earlier, but he had just flattened Shangguan Hao instantly.
Although the sword formation Su Mo used was very powerful and resembled the legendary Natal Spiritual Sword formation, the crowd still wouldn’t believe it was indeed the Natal Spiritual Sword formation.
Because if it was indeed, that meant that there were craftsmen in the Firmament World right now who can refine the Natal Spiritual Swords.
If this was the case, this would be more shocking than Su Mo having nine Natal Spiritual Swords.
If there were craftsmen who can refine Natal Spiritual Swords, then he or she could potentially change the current power structure of the Firmament World.
Therefore, at this moment, it was not Xi’er, Hong Qingxuan, or Qian Xunyue who was the most excited person present, but Deputy Hall Chief Hu from the Craftsmanship Hall of Sky-sea Pavilion headquarters.
Deputy Hall Chief Hu had spent time with and even received craftsmanship instructions from Su Mo, and Su Mo had mentioned he had a Master.
Deputy Hall Chief Hu had always suspected that the Master of Su Mo was an Imperial Craftsman.
However, it was just a theory that he could not confirm as there being an Imperial Craftsman was simply astonishing.
But now, seeing Su Mo’s Natal Spiritual Sword formation, Deputy Hall Chief Hu was sure that Su Mo’s Master must have refined the Natal Spiritual Swords for Su Mo.
Because only an Imperial Craftsman, whom he suspected was Su Mo’s Master could possibly craft so many Natal Spiritual Swords.
Deputy Hall Chief Hu was very excited, so much that his face was flushed. He had studied craftsmanship throughout his life, and he would be able to die peacefully if he could just take a peek into the refining technique of Spiritual Sword.
“Pavilion Leader Wang, this kid is extraordinary. He has a Master that is an Imperial Craftsman…!”
Deputy Hall Chief Hu immediately reported Su Mo’s background to the leader of Sky-sea Pavilion.
The person leading the Sky-sea Pavilion this time was a skinny, solemn-faced middle-aged man. He was the Deputy Pavilion Leader of the Sky-sea Pavilion.
The status of the Deputy Pavilion Leader of the main-branch was high above the Pavilion Leaders of local branches as he was the top expert of Sky-sea Pavilion.
Deputy Hall Chief Hu knew that Su Mo would have a hard time leaving here no matter if he won or lost.
Therefore, he told Pavilion Leader Wang about Su Mo’s background in hopes that he would help Su Mo out.
They would never have a chance to meet Su Mo’s master if Su Mo died.
“An Imperial Craftsman!” Pavilion Leader Wang raised his eyebrows in astonishment upon hearing Deputy Hall Chief Hu.
He did not doubt what Deputy Hall Chief Hu had said. If he said that, then it was likely to be true.
Then Pavilion Leader Wang thought to himself that the whole matter was too astonishing.
On the sky.
Su Mo paid no attention to the crowd’s astonishment. He attacked once more, having had no luck with his previous strike.
Swish, swish, swish!
The nine swords merged together to form a huge Spiritual Sword. With a flash, the huge sword slashed upon Shangguan Hao with unparalleled speed.
“It won’t be so easy to defeat me!” Shangguan Hao was prepared ahead of time. He retreated immediately upon seeing Su Mo’s strike, light radiating from behind him.
“Sun Realm!” Shangguan Hao shouted and released his martial soul immediately.
His Martial Soul was a sun as well in the Rank 5 Heaven Class.
The huge image of the sun was hundreds of feet in diameter and was so dazzlingthat no one could open their eyes.
Shangguan Hao released his Martial Soul which communicated with this Divine Sun Body to form a realm.
The realm covering up a thousand square miles possessed extreme heat beyond description that could melt everything inside.
“Crash!”
Entering the realm, the Natal Spiritual Swords met with great resistance and thus slowed down significantly. The Dark Force on the swords dissolved rapidly.
“This…!” Su Mo was shocked. Then, he withdrew all the Spiritual Swords with a thought.
“Ha ha!”
Shangguan Hao burst into laughter when he saw that and said, “Bumpkin, there is no way you can ever defeat me. My Sun Realm is an invincible defense that can resist all attacks.”
Shangguan Hao’s face was full of pride. If he hadn’t been careless and underestimated Su Mo, he wouldn’t be in such a mess!
Thus, now, he had dared not underestimate Su Mo and used his most powerful hidden card, the Sun Realm.
He was very confident that there was no one with the same level of cultivation as him who could surpass him as soon as he released the Sun Realm, not to mention Su Mo whose cultivation was merely at the Lv 3 Martial King Realm.
Regardless of how powerful Su Mo was, there was no way the Sun Realm could be broken.
“Invincible defense?” Su Mo narrowed his eyes as he did not believe that there was an invincible defense in this world.
“Bumpkin, I was born to be invincible!” Shangguan Hao sneered and said sadistically, “You’re going to lose matter what other tricks you have!”
“Boom!”
Shangguan Hao launched an attack immediately. His fist shone with harsh light, and the endless Sun Dark Force condensed into a huge fist print rushing toward Su Mo.
The fist print hurtled through space and destroyed everything in its way. The force was extremely condensed and even more powerful than the previous fist radiance.
“Crush it!”
Su Mo shouted, and all of the nine Spiritual Swords launched together, connecting each other to fight against the fist print.
Boom!
The huge fist print was immediately crushed and scattered.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then Shangguan Hao struck with two fists. The bomb-like fists and mountains-liked fist prints bombarded Su Mo unceasingly.
Su Mo remained calm. The nine Spiritual Swords arranged into nine great formations before him and destroyed all the fist prints headed for him.
Shangguan Hao struck more than two hundred times within the next breath, but Su Mo remained untouched.
“Go!”
Soon, Su Mo retreated and controlled the sword formation to expand rapidly to envelop Shangguan Hao again.
“You’re too full of yourself!” Seeing Su Mo was about to use the sword formation to attack him again, Shangguan Hao stopped striking.
He also understood now that the normal attacks would not hurt Su Mo.
In the mean time, he would like to destroy Su Mo with his invincible Sun Realm.
“Slash!” The nine Spiritual Swords surrounding Shangguan Hao slashed down at the same time at Su Mo’s command, launching an extremely fine sword net again.
The sword net shrouded Shangguan Hao from above and entered the Sun Realm in a split second.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The sword net puffed the moment it entered the Sun Realm and was completely melted when it was about 100 feet away from Shangguan Hao.
“That’s really powerful!” Su Mo frowned after seeing this. This defense was really scary.
“Go!”
Su Mo continued on attacking and commanded the nine Spiritual Swords to shoot toward Shangguan Hao.
However, the Spiritual Swords puffed and emitted plumes of white smoke when it entered the burning Sun Realm. The Dark Force incorporated into them melted rapidly away.
“No!” Su Mo was horrified. His consciousness was connected with the Natal Spiritual Swords. He could even sense that the Natal Spiritual Sword might melt down under this extremely high heat.
Swish, swish, swish!
Then without hesitation, Su Mo called back all the Natal Spiritual Sword, feeling deeply unsettled.
The Sun Realm was truly terrifying!
