Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2917
Chapter 2917: Heaven-Defying Battle
Translator: Legge
Su Zimo recalled a young man killed by the Martial Dao Prime Body in the Nine
Nether Sin Ground.
Even cultivators of the Blessed Heaven World had to be respectful in front of
this young man.
As for this person, he claimed to be from the Heavenly Court!
Blessed Heaven World, Heavenly Court…
There was a high chance that the behemoth behind the Blessed Heaven World
was the Heavenly Court!
The Iron Crown Old Man said, “The previous Sword Lord told me that although Great Emperor Zenith Heaven fought side by side with the experts of the Evil Fiends, he was not bewitched. He merely shared a common goal with them to take on the behemoth behind the Blessed Heaven World!
The eight Peak Masters opened their mouths slightly, as though they wanted
to say something but could not say anything.
This matter had completely overturned their previous understanding and they could not digest it for the time being.
After a long while, Lu Yun said, “In other words, everything we knew in the past was just a lie of the Blessed Heaven World?”
“Actually, the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits of the ten Sin Grounds did not commit any sins at all. Was it only because they were defeated back then?
Suddenly, Su Zimo recalled the words of the plain-clothed sword cultivator,
Luo Jun, in the Evil Fiend Battlefield.
Evil will never triumph over good. Indeed, that will never be wrong.
If evil triumphed over good, it would no longer be evil.
Yu Lan said, “In that case, Great Emperor Zenith Heaven was not the only one who resisted in the past. Great Emperors of other eras also resisted.”
“That’s right.”
The iron Crown Old Man nodded. “For example, the Combat Sin Ground was formed because Great Emperor Combat was defeated and died back then. Many
Sanguine Apes were imprisoned.”
“It’s the same for the Nine Nether Sin Ground, Astral Sin Ground and Nine
Heavens Sin Ground.”
“Compared to the Sanguine Ape World and the Astral World, our Sword World is considered lucky. At the very least, we managed to preserve our inheritance.
For the Darkness World, it was destroyed because of that battle and all their clansmen and living beings died without exception!”
Su Zimo was silent.
Nine Heavens Era, Nine Nether Era, Combat Era, Zenith Heaven Era, Darkness
Era, Astral Era…
All those Great Emperors were invincible in their generation and stood at the peak of all living beings. However, they all chose to go against the heavens!
Yet, in the end, they suffered a crushing defeat and died.
Those were heaven-defying battles.
Even after so many years, Su Zimo could still vaguely sense the tragic battles of
the past through the long river of time.
Of course, he still had many questions.
When the Martial Dao Prime Body underwent Tribulation Transcendence, eight lightning phantoms appeared. Apart from Great Empress Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Great Empress Nine Nether, Great Emperor Combat, Great Emperor Zenith Heaven, Great Emperor Darkness and Great Emperor Astral, there were two more.
They were Great Emperor Light and Great Emperor Infinite.
There were no people from the Light World or the Buddhist monasteries of the
Heavenly World in the ten Sin Grounds.
Whose side were the two Great Emperors on at that time?
Great Emperor Infinite seemed to be on the side of the Heavenly Court. After all, Su Zimo guessed that there was a consciousness trapped in Greater Avici that belonged to the Lord of Hell!
One of the ten Sin Grounds was called Hell Sin Ground.
In that case, why did Great Emperor Light and Great Emperor Infinite appear in the Tenth Tribulation of the True Martial Heavenly Tribulation with the other Great Emperors?
Of course, Su Zimo had another greatest question in his heart.
“Why?”
Su Zimo asked, “Why did Great Emperor Zenith Heaven and the others want to fight against that behemoth and defy the heavens?”
“No idea.”
The Iron Crown Old Man shook his head. “Perhaps only experts in that era and that battle know the reason.”
-After countless years, the truth of the past has long been buried in the river of time. Who can truly say for sure?”
Lu Yun took a deep breath and asked, “Sword Lords, since this was passed down by word of mouth by the previous Sword Lords of the Sword World, why didn’t you tell the other sword cultivators? Why did you hide it?
The Iron Crown Old Man smiled bitterly and asked, “How many sword cultivators do you think will believe us if we tell the other sword cultivators about this now?”
Lu Yun fell silent.
Even they could not accept it for a moment, let alone the other sword cultivators.
For so many years, their hatred and hostility towards the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits had long seeped into their bones. Everyone’s hands were stained with the blood of countless Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits!
But now, the three Sword Lords suddenly told them that there was something else going on. Those Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits might be innocent…
The reason why they cultivated the Sword Dao was to slay demons and fiends and uphold justice.
But now, the Evil Fiends they killed might not be Evil Fiends and the justice they insisted on might not be justice. This was equivalent to breaking the Sword Dao that they had defended for many years!
“Do you know why the previous Sword Lords passed it down by word of mouth?”
The skinny old man looked at Su Zimo and the others and asked.
Yu Lan said, “If they left records, it would definitely be erased. That’s the only
way.”
“That’s only one of the reasons.”
The skinny old man said, “Another reason is that the Blessed Heaven World will definitely not allow such a saying to spread. The more people who know about it, the easier it will be for the matter to be exposed. Once this matter spreads to the Blessed Heaven World, it will be a disaster for the Sword World!” The fat old man sighed as well. “Even if you guys know about this and believe in it, what can you do? So many Great Emperors have failed…”
The skinny old man said, “The Sanguine Ape World of this generation was originally a super large world as well. It was because of this matter that there was a conflict with the Blessed Heaven World, resulting in the Calamity of the
Sanguine Apes.”
“More than ten Emperor experts of the Sanguine Ape race died along with countless clansmen, relegating them into a greater world. If that old ape of this generation had not submitted in the end, they might have even been exterminated!”
“Furthermore, that’s only the power of the Blessed Heaven World.”
■’The Sanguine Ape race is belligerent and unruly by nature. It’s even more so for that old ape. Back then, he was willing to bow down to the Blessed Heaven World and suffered immense humiliation and pain.”
“Later on, the reason why the Sanguine Ape race did not head to the Blessed Heaven World was not because of the Calamity of the Sanguine Apes. It was because the Sanguine Ape race was too ashamed to face the descendants of their ancestors back then.”
The three Sword Lords sighed ruefully.
Su Zimo vaguely understood the Iron Crown Old Man’s dilemma.
For the second rumor, they were worried that they would cause trouble for the Sword World. As such, they naturally did not dare to mention it to the other sword cultivators.
As for the first rumor, it came from the Blessed Heaven World. They knew that it was a lie and were unwilling to tell it to other sword cultivators.
That was the reason why they hid the entire matter as a whole.
The thin old man said, “The Blessed Heaven World is only a tiny part of that behemoth used to monitor and survey the medium chiliocosm. That’s the reason why the status of the Blessed Heaven World in the medium chiliocosm is so special and extraordinary.”
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
Becoming enemies with the Blessed Heaven World was actually a challenge to the Heavenly Court behind it!
The Iron Crown Old Man said, “You guys just said that the Blessed Heaven World expelled you guys out at the last minute to close. In fact, they didn’t even allow you guys to exchange your Battle Merits for treasures?
“Yes.”
Lu Yun said, “Although this was targeted at all living beings of the medium chiliocosm, I had a feeling that the Blessed Heaven World was targeting us back then.”
After all, Su Zimo benefited the most in the Evil Fiend Battlefield.
Once the Blessed Heaven World was closed and all living beings of the medium chiliocosm were expelled, Su Zimo would definitely be in danger!
in fact, the battle that happened outside the Blessed Heaven World later on might have even been fueled by the latter themselves!
The Iron Crown Old Man said, “There’s no need to doubt it. This is a warning from the Blessed Heaven World to our Sword World!”
“Why is that?”
Lu Yun asked with a frown.
The Iron Crown Old Man said, “Perhaps it’s because of Great Emperor Zenith Heaven back then or for some other reason..”
