Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2504
2504 Entering the Lake
Above the ancient city.
The intense battle below was naturally witnessed by the six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace.
Although the process was short, the eyes of the six Perfected Immortals lit up!
The six Perfected Immortals had long understood the methods and combat strength of Zong Feiyu and the others. There were also detailed introductions of them on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.
However, the six Perfected Immortals did not know much about Su Zimo.
That was because Su Zimo’s battle records were too few and he only had two battles—there was no way they could make an overly precise evaluation.
However, the scene earlier on caused the six Perfected Immortals to have no choice but to reevaluate Su Zimo’s ranking on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.
Divine Rainbow praised, “Right from the beginning, he fought one against five. Instead of being defeated, he counterattacked and even injured Song Ce. His combat strength and control of the situation is a little terrifying.”
“A single supreme divine power of his managed to force out Lie Xuan’s Bloodline Phenomenon, Rising Nine Suns. I’m truly shocked.” Even now, Divine Swamp could not believe it.
“Unfortunately, that lad’s cultivation realm is a little low. He still has too many weaknesses in a life and death battle.”
Divine Flames revealed a look of pity.
Although he did not say it explicitly, the other few Perfected Immortals understood.
If one’s cultivation realm was low, they would suffer obvious disadvantages in head-on clashes. Their Essence Spirits were not strong enough and the consumption of Essence Qi would take a heavy toll.
In the battle earlier on, Su Zimo injured Song Ce.
However, those injuries had almost no effect on Song Ce.
To them, if the fight continued, Song Ce would still end up victorious.
Fairy Divine Crane suddenly spoke, “Even so, I think that lad’s ranking is enough to be in the top ten!”
“That’s for sure.”
Divine Wind nodded.
The others had no objections to this ranking.
Even if Su Zimo tore the teleportation talisman and left the Asura battlefield, the combat strength he displayed earlier on was enough for him to be ranked in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction!
Divine Rainbow took out the Heaven Ranking Prediction and spread it slowly, raising Su Zimo’s ranking from 24 to 10!
Prince Tianhuang who was initially Rank 10 was pushed to 11.
“Who shall write his evaluation?”
Divine Rainbow asked.
“Let Divine Crane do it. I can tell she thinks highly of Su Zimo.” Divine Wind said with a smile.
“Alright.”
Fairy Divine Crane did not decline. She took a step forward and condensed True Essence with her fingertips. Using her finger as a brush, she prepared to write her latest evaluation of Su Zimo on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.
The higher one was on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, the harder it would be for them to advance the rankings.
For someone like Su Zimo who was already Rank 24 originally, there had to be a convincing reason for him to rise more than ten spots all of a sudden.
“Hold on!”
Just as Fairy Divine Crane was about to write, the other few Perfected Immortals suddenly spoke and stopped her.
When Fairy Divine Crane saw them frowning and looking at the ancient city below with grim expressions, she looked over instinctively as well.
…
In the center of the ancient city.
The six experts on the Heaven Ranking Prediction reconvened and no longer underestimated Su Zimo—the pressure on him increased exponentially!
The six of them were much more troublesome to deal with than he had imagined—all of them were ruthless!
Song Ce was closed in by Su Zimo and received killing moves in succession. If it was any other cultivator, they would have died a long time ago!
For Song Ce, he merely spat out a mouthful of blood and his injuries healed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, if Su Zimo continued targeting Song Ce, given his capabilities, he was still 70% confident that he could kill the latter on the spot!
However, that was almost his limit.
After he killed Song Ce, he would no longer have the strength to continue dealing with the other five and could only flee far away.
Su Zimo was already prepared to explore the bottom of the lake behind him.
If he killed Song Ce and entered the bottom of the lake, Prince Ming Jiong would definitely vent his anger on Xie Qingcheng and eliminate him in advance.
At that time, even if he could discover the secret at the bottom of the lake and return alive, he would not have the chance to help Xie Qingcheng snatch the Spirit Cloud Seal.
At that thought, Su Zimo made up his mind.
Against the attacks of Zong Feiyu, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang and Xie Tianhuang, he conjured the Immovable Mingwang Seal and assumed a defensive stance.
Boom! Boom!
The supreme divine powers of Heaven Immortal Luo Yang and Xie Tianhuang descended and struck Su Zimo.
The Immovable Mingwang Seal could not defend against them.
Su Zimo could not control his body and staggered in retreat.
Zong Feiyu’s sword appeared once more.
But this time round, Su Zimo grabbed the sword that was as thin as cicada wings barehanded with his powerful spirit perception!
He felt a sharp pain in his palm and fresh blood flowed.
“What a great sword!”
Su Zimo praised.
That praise came from the bottom of his heart.
The Green Lotus True Body had cultivated to Grade 11 and cultivated powerful body tempering secret skills such as the Jade Pure Jade Manual, Divine Elephant Breathing Technique and Void Thunder Manual. His flesh had long been indestructible and was even superior to connate heaven-grade Dharmic treasures!
But now, Zong Feiyu’s thin sword could cut through his palm!
Of course, Su Zimo gripped the sword tightly. The tip of the sword was sharp and was less than a millimeter away from his glabella.
However, Zong Feiyu’s attack could not continue no matter what.
“Hmph!”
Zong Feiyu channeled his blood qi and exerted strength once more!
He held back and did not release his Bloodline Phenomenon. He merely channeled his blood qi to the level of Tsunami Blood and stabbed with his sword.
As though he could not defend against that power, Su Zimo could only release his grip and retreat once more to avoid the sharpness of Zong Feiyu’s thin sword.
“Stop chasing!”
Song Ce and the others suddenly reminded loudly when they saw that.
As though he realized something, Zong Feiyu stopped in his tracks hurriedly.
However, Su Zimo’s figure was already above the lake.
On the lake, the endless malevolent blood qi seemed to have been agitated and gathered rapidly, turning into vines that coiled around Su Zimo.
Right in front of Zong Feiyu and the others, the malevolent blood qi pulled Su Zimo into the lake and he disappeared before long.
Su Zimo did not even have time to release the teleportation talisman.
“Cheers!”
Heaven Immortal Luo Yang cursed.
Song Ce’s expression was dark and indignant as well.
Su Zimo was devoured by the malevolent blood qi and fell into the lake—he would definitely die.
However, they would not have the chance to obtain treasures such as the Jade Pure Jade Manual in his possession!
A hint of joy flashed through Prince Tianhuang’s eyes.
Landing in the lake was equivalent to falling into the hands of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.
At that time, if he could obtain the Spirit Cloud Seal, his father might be delighted and allow him to cultivate this Jade Pure Jade Manual.
“Zong Feiyu, weren’t you way too anxious?”
Song Ce said coldly, “He has used all his trump cards and is trapped by us. There’s no way he can escape. Why did you send him into the lake?”
Naturally, Zong Feiyu did not wish to either.
Up till now, he still could not understand how Su Zimo, who was so ferocious earlier on, suddenly became so careless and retreated to the top of the lake only to be devoured by it.
Although that was what he thought, as a reincarnated Perfected Immortal with a rank that was even higher than Song Ce, Zong Feiyu was naturally unwilling to show weakness verbally.
“You want the Jade Pure Jade Manual?”
Zong Feiyu smirked with a mocking expression and pointed to the lake behind him. “It’s inside. If you want it, go in and get it yourself!”
“You!”
Song Ce narrowed his eyes with a cold glint.
“Don’t worry, I can guarantee that the Jade Pure Jade Manual will definitely be intact and not destroyed by the malevolent blood qi.”
Zong Feiyu sneered once more before turning to leave.
Initially, with Su Zimo around, they had a common goal and could maintain peace on the surface.
But now that Su Zimo was dead, these few people who were on the Heaven Ranking Prediction returned to their initial state of alertness and hostility towards one another.
The remaining five people were indignant and lingered at the edge of the lake for a long time before dispersing.
