The martial artists of the entire Tu Mountain Town were dumbstruck, terrified by Su Mo's strength.
A Ninth Layer Martial Emperor Realm martial artist had actually slain a Martial Emperor in an instant. Such strength could only belong to an unparalleled genius.
Moreover, everyone had seen it: the Tu Family Patriarch's Battle Soul had actually been devoured by that terrifying young man before them.
Devouring another person's Battle Soul—what kind of ability was that?
As for the Tu Family members, upon seeing their patriarch dead, every one of them turned deathly pale and fled at top speed.
"Everyone, continue building!" After Su Mo landed, he ignored the fleeing Tu Family members and instructed the people of the Azure Divine Palace.
Everyone nodded, then returned to continue constructing the residence. Xi'er also went to help.
Su Mo flew to a nearby green mountain and sat cross-legged in meditation.
As he meditated, he pondered his Martial Soul.
When martial artists advanced to the Martial Emperor realm, their Martial Souls had to evolve into Battle Souls. Naturally, when others sought to break through to the Martial Emperor realm, they would do everything possible to evolve their Martial Souls.
But he was different, because his Martial Soul could advance in rank, completely unlike anyone else's.
Setting aside whether his Martial Soul could evolve into a Battle Soul, even if it could, should he wait until its rank had been raised to the utmost limit before evolving it?
Once a Martial Soul evolved into a Battle Soul, there would no longer be distinctions of rank. That was why Su Mo was considering the matter.
A Battle Soul evolved after raising his Martial Soul's rank to the limit would surely be stronger than one evolved from his current Heaven-grade Rank 6 Martial Soul, wouldn't it?
