Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2205 - 2205 Sunset

2205 Sunset

Su Zimo focused his gaze and observed the activity of the Hell Suppression Tripod in his consciousness.

The power of the Mars Stone was more compatible with the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul. Therefore, it was absorbed by the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul first.

If nothing went wrong, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul would definitely awaken after refining the Mars Stone!

If the Mars Stone was not completely refined after the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul awakened, there was a chance that he could continue repairing the fourth tripod wall!

As Su Zimo pondered, his heart skipped a beat.

According to Princess Scarlet Rainbow and the others, each level of the Nine Heavens were non-identical and the tribulations and obstacles they had to experience were completely different.

Did this mean that there were treasures similar to the Mars Stone in the other levels?

At that thought, Su Zimo’s eyes lit up.

If he could snatch all the treasures in Level 2, 3 and 4, there was hope for the Hell Suppression Tripod to be repaired!

Of course, that was only his speculation.

At that thought, Su Zimo soared into the air and arrived at the teleportation formation, prepared to ascend to Level 2.

“Fellow Daoist, save me!”

Right then, a tragic cry sounded not far away.

Su Zimo turned around suddenly and saw a cultivator staggering and crawling with difficulty halfway up the mountain. His body was emitting scarlet flames and he was burned into charcoal from the inside out, no longer recognizable as a human.

However, one could vaguely see the person’s pained expression and eyes filled with struggle and despair. He extended his arm, as though he wanted to touch the teleportation formation at the peak.

Unfortunately, that person’s lifeforce had already dispersed.

Even if Su Zimo reached out, it would be useless.

The person collapsed halfway up the mountain and was devoured by the lava that spewed out from the peak, disappearing before long.

“Ah!”

A tragic cry sounded from another direction.

Su Zimo glanced sideways.

Under the nine blazing suns, a cultivator finally could not hold on any longer. His final divine power dissipated and his Essence Qi dried up. He was engulfed by the flames around him and in the blink of an eye, he was devoured without a corpse left!

Su Zimo could see such figures everywhere he looked.

Although there were no Lava Giants, Fire Sparrows or other living beings, the power of flames in this space was still extremely terrifying!

More and more cultivators could not hold on.

The most frightening thing was that there was almost nowhere to hide in the Nine Heavens and every single corner was enveloped by the nine blazing suns!

This did not seem like the Nine Heavens, but a blazing hell where countless living beings struggled to survive and let out despairing roars!

This was the cruelty of the Nine Heavens to begin with.

If one was afraid of death and did not know their limits, they should not participate in the Earth Ranking competition.

These people had nothing to do with Su Zimo.

He would not feel any unnecessary sympathy either.

However, he knew in his heart that most of the cultivators who died in Level 1 were from lowly black-grade sects and itinerant cultivators.

He was just like them in the past.

Most people of Tianhuang Mainland who ascended would be as such as well!

Most of them did not expect to be ranked on the Earth Ranking although they took part in the elimination round.

Perhaps they merely wanted to come to the Nine Heavens to encounter opportunities and gain experience.

However, these people did not even have a way out.

After entering the Nine Heavens, there was nowhere to retreat and life and death was irreversible!

Standing on the teleportation formation, Su Zimo looked back at the many figures struggling in the sea of flames in the distance. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and channeled his Essence Spirit, causing the Essence Qi in his body to surge wildly!

In the blink of an eye, a gigantic bow appeared between Su Zimo’s palms!

Nine Essence Qi arrows floated around the bow!

“What is he trying to do?”

“What pure and condensed Essence Qi! To think that it can evolve into the shape of a weapon!”

Everyone in the square exclaimed.

Right on the heels of that, right in front of countless gazes, Su Zimo bent his knees and drew the bowstring. He loaded an arrow and the entire bow was drawn into the shape of a full moon!

Swoosh!

The bowstring quivered gently and the arrow shot into the skies like a meteor, piercing through the firmaments!

A blazing sun was penetrated and after a brief pause, it exploded and fell from midair.

The temperature in the world seemed to have dipped slightly.

Su Zimo continued to load his bow.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Nine consecutive arrows were shot!

All nine blazing suns fell!

The flames of Level 1 were still burning. However, without the envelopment of the nine blazing suns, the pressure on the remaining cultivators was greatly reduced.

At the very least, most cultivators would be able to survive.

“Damn it, those nine suns are finally extinguished!”

“I think I saw arrows penetrate the nine blazing suns and shoot them down!”

“Hahahaha! I survived!”

Everyone was overjoyed after surviving a calamity.

“Should we continue forward?”

“Do you want to die? Just stay here and try your luck everywhere. Don’t forget, there’s four more levels after this!”

“This is a chance given to us by the heavens. If we don’t know what’s good for us and continue forward, we’ll truly be courting death.”

By the time the nine blazing suns fell, Su Zimo had already ascended and did not linger.

Countless cultivators in Level 1 cheered.

However, the square outside was silent.

Su Zimo’s action had exceeded everyone’s expectations—it shocked everyone present even more than when he snatched the Mars Stone!

Everyone in the huge square remained silent for a long time.

Su Zimo’s actions seemed a little ridiculous and childish.

However, for some unknown reason, a corner in the depths of everyone’s hearts seemed to be touched gently.

Many cultivators had conflicted expressions.

Even Perfected Immortal Xie Ling frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

“Heh!”

Suddenly, Yun Ting smiled and said, “Su Zimo, you’re amazing!”

As though he was jolted awake, Prince Yuan Zuo suddenly burst into laughter and said, “How foolish! To think that he would have to expend so much Essence Qi to save some unrelated ants in this elimination round of the Nine Heavens!”

This time round, no one replied.

Who was not an ant in this vast world?

In the crowd at the back, a Heaven Immortal strode to the table of Heaven and Earth Academy and bowed deeply to the academy elders. “Those good-for-nothing disciples of my Flying Frost Sect managed to survive because of your academy’s disciple. Thank you for the saving grace.”

“Heaven and Earth Academy is truly worthy of the title of an immortal sect,”

The Heaven Immortal of another black-grade sect stood up and came before Heaven and Earth Academy, bowing as well.

More and more cultivators stood out and arrived before Heaven and Earth Academy.

Among them were Heaven Immortals of black-grade sects, elders of earth-grade sects, representatives of family clans and masters who had disciples inside.

In the blink of an eye, the table of Heaven and Earth Academy was filled with people bowing in thanks.

“As immortals, we should uphold justice and benevolence. Fellow Daoists, there’s no need for that,”

Elder Zhong gestured for everyone to stand up and said casually.

Elder He was experienced and wise as well. Coughing gently, he said sternly, “As a disciple of the academy, there was naturally no way he could leave them in the lurch when he saw something like that.”

Although they said that, the elders of the academy stroked their long beards gently. Their faces were rosy and they were in high spirits, almost beaming with pride.
