Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2009 - Desperate Situation

Chapter 2009: Desperate Situation

Translator: Legge

Arriving before Su Zimo, the black-robed old man tapped his walking stick gently with a strange sound.

Su Zimo shuddered and his Essence Spirit shuddered, as though it was about to leave his body!

The Creation Lotus Platform spun slowly and rays of light spewed out from the lotus cave, nourishing the Green Lotus Essence Spirit and allowing Su Zimo to sober up rapidly.

The black-robed old man frowned slightly.

Initially, he thought that his attack would definitely disperse Su Zimo’s soul. Unexpectedly, Su Zimo was only dazed for a moment before returning to normal and continued speeding towards the entrance.

!!

“Hmph!”

The black-robed old man harrumphed coldly with a cold gaze. Leaning forward slightly, he took a deep breath in Su Zimo’s direction.

Phew!

From the black-robed old man’s mouth came a whimpering sound that was extremely terrifying, like a child crying.

The next moment, Su Zimo’s body swayed and his consciousness blurred. His Green Lotus Essence Spirit turned hazy and showed signs of collapsing!

What was even more frightening was that the Green Lotus Essence Spirit was not under Su Zimo’s control and floated outside, as though it was drawn in by some power.

Om… Ma… Ni… Pa…

Suddenly, the images of Buddhas appeared in Su Zimo’s consciousness and he chanted ancient Sanskrit. In his consciousness, a golden light shone brightly and reverberated with a vast and dignified power that was deafening.

That was the benefit of cultivating the Prajna Nirvana Sutra.

This cultivation technique of the Buddhist monasteries was a Taboo Mystic Classic. It was a supreme Dharmic formulation for spirit refinement and possessed unimaginable might.

Up till this point of his cultivation, the increase in Su Zimo’s combat strength was not obvious. However, it protected his Essence Spirit countless times.

Back then, the might of the Prajna Nirvana Sutra was evident when it could fuse the Dragon Phoenix and Green Lotus Essence Spirits.

But now, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra was not perfected and there were still sutras from two tripod walls that had yet to surface.

The power currently revealed by this Taboo Mystic Classic was only the tip of the iceberg!

The Green Lotus Essence Spirit calmed down after it was enveloped by the golden light and became pure once more.

However, the Buddhist light could not purge away the strange suction power in his consciousness.

The Green Lotus Essence Spirit was still drawn in by that power and wanted to leave its shell.

Suddenly!

The Creation Lotus Platform shone brightly with a resplendent glow as it soared into the air. The nine circles of 81 petals closed rapidly and enveloped the Green Lotus Essence Spirit, severing the suction force completely.

Su Zimo was invigorated and the Roc wings behind him flapped. Turning into a golden streak of light, he charged out of the main hall and fled into the distance.

“Mmm?”

The black-robed old man frowned.

Initially, he thought that he would definitely be able to suck Su Zimo’s soul over with that single breath.

Unexpectedly, Su Zimo seemed to be unaffected and escaped after a slight pause, catching him off guard.

When he saw that Su Zimo had already escaped far away, the black-robed old man thought for a moment and did not chase after him. Instead, he turned around and smiled at Tang Ziyi in the hall.

Although one of them escaped, there was another one here!

Although the souls of otherworldly soldiers were strong, they could not compare to the freshness of Tang Ziyi!

For the Ghost Immortal, Tang Ziyi’s soul was the true delicacy.

“Hehehe,”

The black-robed old man laughed sinisterly and walked slowly towards Tang Ziyi.

Tang Ziyi was severely injured after being surrounded by four paragons. Although she managed to recover her mobility after recuperating for a while, it was impossible for her to fight the black-robed old man.

Even at her peak, she would not be a match for the Ghost Immortal, let alone the fact that she was injured right now.

The Ghost Immortals in the Emperor’s Tomb were tainted by the power of the curse and could not even be touched—how could anybody fight them?

“Damned thing, what’s that stupid smile for?!”

Right then, a sneer sounded from behind the black-robed old man.

Turning back, the black-robed old man saw that Su Zimo had returned and was standing outside the main hall, looking at him with a mocking and provocative expression.

The black-robed old man was enraged!

At the same time, Tang Ziyi understood Su Zimo’s intentions.

The reason why Su Zimo left first was not because he wanted to abandon her here.

Su Zimo wanted to lure the black-robed old man away!

When Su Zimo saw that the black-robed old man did not chase after him, he deliberately provoked the latter by returning.

Although the black-robed old man was sentient, he was far less mature than those experienced experts. He was enraged by Su Zimo’s provocation!

“Ignorant ant, do you really think that I can’t kill you?!”

The black-robed old man glared at Su Zimo with rage in his eyes. Countless menacing faces appeared on his black robes and roared at Su Zimo!

Suddenly, Tang Ziyi felt disgusted.

If she was killed by humans and her soul was dispersed, at least she would die a clean death.

However, if she was devoured by the black-robed old man, her face would appear on this Ghost Immortal and she would become one of those menacing faces.

Abandoning Tang Ziyi, the black-robed old man slammed his walking stick heavily on the ground and soared into the air, charging towards Su Zimo.

Without hesitation, Su Zimo turned and fled.

His current strength was not enough to fight against this Ghost Immortal.

Oo! Oo!

The menacing faces of the black-robed old man fell off one after another, turning into menacing ghost faces that chased after Su Zimo like vengeful ghosts!

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo and the black-robed old man charged out of the Immortal Emperor’s palace.

“You…”

Tang Ziyi was anxious and swallowed another handful of elixirs. Before the medicinal effects could dissipate, she rushed out.

However, by the time she rushed out of the Immortal Emperor’s palace, Su Zimo and the black-robed old man were long gone.

Tang Ziyi clenched her fists with a conflicted expression.

She knew in her heart that Su Zimo could have escaped initially. He returned to lure the black-robed old man away because he wanted to save her.

She also knew that Su Zimo was most likely doomed.

There were no living beings in the Emperor’s Tomb that could escape the pursuit of the Ghost Immortal!

Tang Ziyi took a deep breath and judged the direction before giving chase.

Su Zimo and the black-robed old man moved at an extremely fast speed one after another.

However, as time passed by, Su Zimo could not hold on any longer.

After all, he had expended too much stamina in the battle against Yun Ting and the four paragons.

Even with the help of the Extreme Speed divine power, his speed gradually slowed down.

However, the many ghost faces behind him closed in continuously and howled, letting out shuddering wails.

“I told you, you can’t escape!”

Before long, the black-robed old man’s voice sounded in Su Zimo’s ears.

It was as though someone had blown a cold breath into his ears.

Instantly, Su Zimo’s hairs stood on end!

Without hesitation, he summoned the Hell Suppression Tripod and shielded it behind him.

However, a menacing ghost face penetrated the Hell Suppression Tripod and struck his back heavily!

Although the Hell Suppression Tripod was strong and indestructible, it could not defend against Essence Spirits and souls!

However, the Ghost Immortal was condensed with souls from head to toe!

The ghost faces he released also possessed the power of souls!

Bang!

Su Zimo shuddered and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

An extremely terrifying power burst forth from the ghost face and surged into Su Zimo’s body, engulfing his limbs, bones and organs!

The coldness was chilling to the bones and Su Zimo could not help but shudder.

His face was pale and his lips were purplish as he staggered forward. Even walking became difficult, let alone movement techniques.

“I’m probably going to die in the Emperor’s Tomb today,”

Su Zimo’s eyelids were heavy and his vision turned blurry as he sighed internally.

He had already used up all his trump cards and was on the brink of death. Now, even the Hell Suppression Tripod could not save him.
