72: Chapter 72 Overbearing Aura?!

"Little beast! I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!!"

The brawny man roared, and the Magical Artifact in his hand turned into a blood-colored rainbow, slashing directly at Su Mo's face with the terrifying momentum of the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However—

"Clang!"

Su Mo merely lifted his bone blade nonchalantly, steadily blocking this fatal blow!

The corner of his mouth hooked up:

"Not bad, this is a bit interesting."

During his three days of seclusion, he hadn't just been compressing Spiritual Qi; he had also been using Spiritual Qi to temper his exoskeleton and bone blade.

This change was effectively equivalent to a Cultivator's Body Refining, making his Physical Body far superior to those of the same stage!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The brawny man, unwilling to give up, attacked every part of Su Mo's body crazily, trying to find Su Mo's weakness.

Facing this violent offensive, Su Mo did not dodge or evade. The ten-meter-long bone blade was like an indestructible shield; just a slight shift was enough to block all the attacks.

"Clang—!"

Amidst the sound of metal clashing, the brawny man discovered in horror—

The attack he had gained by burning his essence blood couldn't even make the opponent take a single step back!

The corner of Su Mo's mouth rose slightly:

"Is that it? You should go back and train for a few more years..."

Before he finished speaking, the brawny man flashed backward.

"Burning Lifespan!!"

The brawny man's eyes were blood-red, and he actually used a secret technique again, starting to burn his Lifespan!

"Boom!"

His originally pitch-black hair instantly turned snow-white, and wrinkles gradually covered his face, but his aura surged once again, looking as if it were about to rush from the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection!

"Holy crap!"

Seeing this, Su Mo immediately flapped his wings and flew up to meet him.

"Boom!"

Su Mo's figure instantly disappeared, and the sonic boom followed only afterward.

In an instant, the bone blade had pierced the brawny man's Dantian.

"Puchi!"

The sound of the bone blade piercing flesh was clearly audible.

The brawny man widened his eyes, looking at the bone blade in his Dantian in disbelief.

The cultivation he had gained by burning his Lifespan was rapidly fading away!

"Young man... you don't follow martial ethics..."

Su Mo withdrew the bone blade and said softly:

"Can you still call yourself a young man if you follow martial ethics?"

"You..."

After the battle, the brawny man's essence blood and Lifespan had been completely exhausted. After his Dantian was pierced, he turned into a dried corpse in a moment and fell from the sky.

Su Mo had felt a tightness in his chest when the brawny man started burning his Lifespan. He just wanted to test his strength, not seek death.

If he had really let this brawny man advance to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, there might have been a ten percent chance of being counter-killed. How was that any different from seeking death!

With the three of them dead, most of Su Mo's anger dissipated, and he smiled slightly:

"Looting time, looting time!"

A moment later, Su Mo happily counted his spoils.

Three High Grade Magical Artifacts, one blade technique manual, one Cultivation Technique manual, several Medicinal Pills, Materials, and over three hundred Spirit Stones.

Just as he was wondering why there were so few Spirit Stones, he was pleasantly surprised to find two foundation establishment pills in the brawny man's Storage Pouch!

"Hahaha! Just when you think you've looked everywhere!"

These two foundation establishment pills were definitely prepared by the brawny man for his two younger brothers; no wonder there were so few Spirit Stones.

"I went out and not only didn't spend money, but I also earned quite a bit. Who would have thought."

Black eating black really makes money fast!

When Su Mo went back, he didn't use his Flying Sword. He sat on a slow-as-hell flying boat, restrained his cultivation to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and hung all the High Grade Magical Artifacts on his body, looking exactly like a wealthy, physically weak, and easy-to-bully nouveau riche, hoping that two more brawny men would jump out to donate some Spirit Stones for him to spend.

However, until he returned to the Sect, Su Mo didn't see a single fated person blocking his path.

"Damn it! Are the evil Cultivators around here this polite?"

Muttering a curse, Su Mo returned to his room and began to proceed with Foundation Establishment; this was the important matter, and it could not be delayed.

After carefully reading the precautions for Foundation Establishment in the Great Desire Heavenly Demon Scripture three times, Su Mo took a deep breath and swallowed a foundation establishment pill.

"Boom!"

As the medicinal power entered his abdomen, the Spiritual liquid in his Dantian, which had been as calm as stagnant water, suddenly rippled and began to rotate slowly, gradually forming a vortex.

The vortex rotated faster and faster, and the Spiritual liquid at the very center began to compress and solidify continuously!

It seemed like an instant had passed, and yet it also seemed like a thousand years—

"Crack!"

A shackle in Su Mo's body was suddenly broken, and in the center of the Spirit Lake, a crystal-clear Dao Platform slowly rose.

This was the sign of the Foundation Establishment Stage—the Spirit Foundation Dao Platform!

The moment the Dao Platform rose from the Spirit Lake, an invisible vortex of Spiritual Qi appeared above Su Mo's head.

Li Da Niu, who was sitting in meditation in his room dozens of meters away, seemed to feel something and slowly opened his eyes. A pink aura, visible only to Cultivators who had practiced the Great Desire Heavenly Demon Scripture, drifted out from the top of Li Da Niu's head.

Li Da Niu immediately felt calm, his eyes peaceful, as if worldly temptations no longer had anything to do with him.

"Puff!"

The Bottleneck of the second level of Qi Refining was broken through on its own at this moment, but he felt not a hint of joy.

Meanwhile.

The pink aura followed the vortex of Spiritual Qi above Su Mo's head and entered Su Mo's body, directly merging into the Spirit Foundation Dao Platform in his Dantian, dyeing it pink.

As the vortex of Spiritual Qi disappeared, the expansion of Su Mo's Dantian also ended. He slowly opened his eyes, and with a thought, his body floated up gently, hovering above the bed.

"Is this the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage..."

"Now I can fly without the help of wings or a Flying Sword."

Su Mo felt the surging Spiritual power in his body, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

Suddenly, his smile froze on his face, and he opened and closed his eyes in disbelief.

"Why is my Spirit Foundation Dao Platform pink?!"

The pale pink Spirit Foundation Dao Platform reflected the entire Dantian, turning it into a pink ocean.

Hua Rumeng's charming laughter appeared in his mind:

"Giggle~ Young Master, this is the unique Desire Dao Spirit Foundation of the Great Desire Heavenly Demon Scripture~"

"Infected by the Desire Qi, you have now completed your transformation, and your charm is more than ten times greater than before~"

Her voice carried a hint of teasing:

"In the future, Cultivators of the same stage will probably have weak knees just from looking at you~"

Hearing this, Su Mo's face turned black:

"I'm happy to be invincible at the same stage, but is this 'weak knees' thing appropriate?!"

"I want a refund!"

Hua Rumeng laughed uncontrollably:

"It's too late~ Unless you cripple your cultivation and start all over again~"

She paused and added:

"However, this Desire Dao Spirit Foundation has great benefits, you know~"

"Not only can it double your cultivation speed, but it can also..."

Hua Rumeng's voice suddenly became ambiguous:

"Make it easier for you to obtain a Cauldron~"

"Do I lack that bit of cultivation speed? I went from having no cultivation to breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in less than a month; is this speed not fast enough?!"

Su Mo's face was dark. He thought about it carefully. Although this Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique had some flaws, the quality and capacity of this Spiritual power were real.

Besides, every time I appear, everyone kneels on the ground; it's simply domineering and actually quite cool.

Even when fighting other Cultivators, they can only kneel while fighting me.

Once my cultivation is higher, I'll be able to control this charm.

Thinking about it this way, this Cultivation Technique seems to have only advantages!

"Never mind, I won't change it."

Su Mo's mouth hooked up, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Hmm?"

Hua Rumeng was stunned when she heard this.

A man of this age is truly hard to understand, crying one moment and laughing the next.
