Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2762
Chapter 2762: Carnage Sword Intent
Translator: Legge
A large number of sword cultivators were gathered beside the Sword Cleansing Pool.
Ever since Beiming Xue transcended the Nine of Nine Heavenly Tribulation, many sword cultivators wanted to follow her cultivation method and cultivate nearby.
At the front of Carnage Sword Peak was a sword qi waterfall that rumbled endlessly. Emperor Immortal Vanquishing’s Sword Intent was behind the mountain.
Yun Ting bade farewell to Su Zimo here and returned to Extreme Sword Peak.
Su Zimo followed Lu Yun around Carnage Sword Peak. When they arrived at the back of the mountain, the roar of the sword qi waterfall disappeared instantly. Carnage Sword Peak was like an immortal sword erected here. The front and back of the mountain peak were like two sides of the immortal sword, isolating two different worlds.
There were clearly fewer sword cultivators behind the mountain of Carnage Sword Peak.
Generally speaking, one could only observe and sense the Sword Intent left behind by Emperor Immortal Vanquishing after becoming a Perfected Immortal.
It was not that the Sword World had deliberately set a threshold to make things difficult for the sword cultivators. It was because their cultivation realms were insufficient and cultivators could not withstand Emperor Immortal Vanquishing’s Sword Intent head-on.
At that moment, some Perfected Immortals behind the mountain were calm and focused. They raised their heads slightly and looked at the sword marks left behind on the back of the mountain peak, sensing them silently.
Emperor Immortal Vanquishing’s Carnage Sword Intent was all contained in these sword marks!
Lu Yun said softly, “Young Friend Su Zhu, there’s something I have to tell you in advance.”
“The sword marks on this mountain peak were left behind by Emperor Immortal Vanquishing back then. The Carnage Sword Intent inside will have a huge impact on the Dao Heart.”
“Even some paragons of Carnage Sword Peak might not be able to sit here for more than two hours.”
“If you feel that something is wrong and you can’t withstand it, please don’t force yourself. Retreat in time and distance yourself from this Carnage Sword Peak. That way, you’ll be able to escape the influence of the Carnage Sword Intent.”
The moment he said that, a sword cultivator not far away suddenly opened his eyes and his expression changed as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The person panted heavily with bloodshot eyes and a murderous aura—he had already lost his rationality.
Lu Yun frowned slightly and waved his robe sleeve, moving the sword cultivator far away. He called out softly, “Your Dao Heart is unstable. If you continue to act tough, you will only suffer!”
Those words seemed to be a reminder to Su Zimo as well.
The sword cultivator shuddered and the blood in his eyes faded gradually, allowing him to regain consciousness.
Embarrassed, the person struggled to his feet and bowed to Lu Yun before slowly retreating.
“Young Friend Su Zhu, you saw it too.”
Lu Yun turned around and said, “I don’t know much about you and don’t know how your Dao Heart is. If you don’t gain anything from sensing the Carnage Sword Intent, there’s no need to force yourself. Your body is the most important.”
Su Zimo smiled. “Don’t worry, Senior. I know my limits.”
Lu Yun gave a few more reminders before turning to leave. He soared all the way to the peak of the mountain.
When Su Zimo arrived before Carnage Sword Peak, he did not sit down. Instead, he stood on the spot and looked at the sword marks left behind by Emperor Immortal Vanquishing. His heart skipped a beat as he held the Bodhi Seed in his palm.
To him, this was the best opportunity to comprehend the Immortal Vanquishing Sword. He could not miss it!
With the Bodhi Seed in his hand, his perception and comprehension increased as well.
In reality, Su Zimo had cultivated the three great sword arts for even longer than Beiming Xue. Furthermore, he comprehended the first version of the three great sword arts.
Beiming Xue had a sword-shaped Martial Spirit, talent in the Sword Dao and unprecedented comprehension of the Sword Dao.
However, she had not been in contact with the first version ancient scrolls of the three great sword arts for long.
Furthermore, Su Zimo possessed the body of a Grade 12 Creation Green Lotus. Be it cultivating the Immortal, Fiend or Buddhist Daos, there were no obstacles to it. He could fuse them into his Dharmic Dao and turn it into his own creation.
It was the same for cultivating the Sword Dao.
The Immortal Vanquishing Sword that Su Zimo cultivated was already at the level of a quasi-peerless divine power.
Coupled with the fact that he had cultivated the two great sword arts for many years and accumulated them, now that he could sense the Sword Intent left behind by Emperor Immortal Vanquishing back then, the final transformation was only a matter of time.
Su Zimo had mastered many killing techniques.
Not only were there the three great sword arts, there was also a secret skill with extremely strong killing intent like White Tiger Corpse Collection.
He was no stranger to killing intent.
Most importantly, Su Zimo had cultivated the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra before!
The inspiration for the three great sword arts created by Emperor Immortal Vanquishing originated from a passage in the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra.
When the heaven’s killing intent is released, the stars are shifted out of alignment!
When the earth’s killing intent is released, the Dragon Snake shall rise!
When the human’s killing intent is released, Heaven and Earth shall topple!
Su Zimo had also read the complete Yin Yang Talisman Sutra.
His understanding of those words was not inferior to Emperor Immortal Vanquishing!
Coupled with the three great sword arts and the Carnage Sword Intent left behind by Emperor Immortal Vanquishing, it was only a matter of time before Su Zimo comprehended the peerless divine power, the Immortal Vanquishing Sword!
On the peak of the mountain.
“Brother Lu, make a guess. Who do you think will comprehend the Immortal Vanquishing Sword first, Lin Xunzhen, Beiming Xue or Yun Ting?”
“The few of us have already made our bets.”
The Peak Masters urged.
Lu Yun shook his head gently. “How can it be so easy to cultivate a peerless divine power? It’s difficult for the three of them to comprehend it in a short period of time. Who can say for sure when such a distant matter will happen?” “It will probably take thousands or even tens of thousands of years for the outcome to be decided.”
The Peak Master of Five Elements Sword Peak nodded and said, “What Brother Lu said makes sense. In my opinion, let’s change our bet to something that can be decided quickly.”
“That’s easy.”
The Peak Master of Tyrant Sword Peak smiled and said, “Let’s bet on how long
Su Zhu can last against the Sword Intent of Carnage Sword Peak.”
“Alright!”
“That’s a good idea!”
The eyes of the other Peak Masters lit up.
The Peak Master of Illusory Sword Peak said, “If I remember correctly, back then, Lin Xunzhen, Yun Ting and Beiming Xue lasted for six hours before they were forced to retreat.”
“Su Zhu will definitely not be able to reach six hours. His Dao Heart will be pretty strong if he can even sit for a full two hours.” The Peak Master of Sever Sword Peak said.
“I’ll bet an hour.”
“In my opinion, he can only last for 15 minutes at most!”
“Aren’t you guys looking down on him too much? I bet he can sit for a full two hours.”
The eight Peak Masters placed their bets one after another and chatted casually as they waited.
Time passed slowly.
15 minutes…
An hour later…
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed and Su Zimo was still comprehending without moving.
“We were all wrong.”
“Looks like Brother Lu won.”
The Peak Masters exchanged glances and shook their heads with bitter smiles. Among the eight Peak Masters, only Lu Yun guessed that Su Zimo could last for four hours.
In reality, he did not have high expectations for Su Zimo initially as well. However, after his interaction with Su Zimo earlier on, his intuition told him that this young man was far from simple!
In the blink of an eye, four hours passed.
Su Zimo was still comprehending below.
“To think that this lad would be able to hold on for so long?”
“The few of us were wrong this time round!”
The eight Peak Masters still had relaxed expressions and chuckled.
As time passed, the smiles on the faces of the eight Peak Masters decreased.
At that moment, six hours had passed and Su Zimo still showed no signs of leaving!
The eight Peak Masters exchanged glances with grim expressions.
The Peak Master of Five Elements Sword Peak said, “This lad’s Dao Heart is indeed very strong. He’s actually comparable to Lin Xunzhen and the other two!”
The other Peak Masters were silent.
Right now, it was no longer a matter of standing shoulder to shoulder. If Su Zimo continued comprehending, he would have already surpassed Lin Xunzhen and the other two!
Eight hours.
Su Zimo’s eyes were still closed and he was motionless.
After the tenth hour, Carnage Sword Peak was already shrouded in darkness by the night. However, the eight figures on the peak did not look tired at all.
Suddenly!
A commotion sounded from below.
Su Zimo opened his eyes and moved!
