Eternal Sacred King Chapter 1938 - This Path Is Not Severed

Chapter 1938: This Path Is Not Severed

Translator: Legge 

“King Tianxing,”

Su Zimo sneered.

The eventual beneficiary of this matter was King Jin.

King Tianxing plotted against this prisoner but did not receive any punishment and was instead highly regarded by King Jin—the latter was definitely involved in this!

Now that he heard such a shocking secret, apart from astonishment, Su Zimo still had some doubts.

“Is this Ten Absolute Formation truly so powerful that it can trap a Supreme Perfected Immortal?”

Su Zimo frowned and asked, “Even if this expert was plotted against and failed his breakthrough, he’s still a Supreme Perfected Immortal. As long as his cultivation is still present, his Dao will not be destroyed…”

At that point, his expression changed, as though he realized something and could not continue.

Tang Ziyi nodded. “You’re right. When that person broke through, he was ambushed by King Tianxing and was severely injured.”

“King Tianxing was worried that this person would seek revenge on him after recovering, so he shattered the latter’s Dao Fruit.”

Su Zimo was shocked.

Back in the lower worlds, he had come into contact with the Dao Fruit through Die Yue.

Su Zimo did not know much about the Dao Fruit. He only knew that the Dao Fruit was the foundation and essence of a Perfected Immortal.

The shattering of the Dao Fruit meant that one’s cultivation would be destroyed overnight!

There was no possibility of one cultivating again in the future.

This was a huge blow for cultivators.

If they were merely dispirited and relegated to ordinariness, it would still be a good ending.

If their Dao Hearts collapsed and their Essence Spirits deteriorated, they wouldn’t be able to live for long.

“How long has this senior been imprisoned for?”

Su Zimo asked.

“Several hundred thousand years,”

Tang Ziyi said indifferently, “This Absolute Thunder City and Ten Absolute h.e.l.l were built for him.”

A thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind.

However, the news he heard earlier on was way too shocking and he did not think too much about it.

“He was imprisoned here for hundreds of thousands of years and even lost his Dao Fruit. He must have died a long time ago,”

Su Zimo shook his head gently.

Even a normal person would not be able to withstand the blow of being suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years, let alone losing their Dao Fruit.

Dark without daylight and a bleak future, surrounded by endless loneliness and humiliation at every moment.

The pain was unimaginable!

“Perhaps,”

Tang Ziyi replied indifferently.

Su Zimo said angrily, “King Tianxing has already crippled this person’s Dao Fruit and yet he wants to imprison him here for the rest of his life. He’s way too vicious.”

Tang Ziyi did not say anything. However, an imperceptible sadness flashed through the depths of her eyes and disappeared quickly.

Suddenly, Su Zimo thought of an answer.

That was a question that Tang Ziyi did not answer when he asked her earlier on.

The Hunting Meet had been held for so many years. Apart from providing entertainment for the Exalted Immortals outside, what other motives did it have?

When he found out about the secret from hundreds of thousands of years ago, Su Zimo realized that there was a more important purpose for this Hunting Meet.

It was to humiliate the previous Supreme Perfected Immortal and destroy his Dao Heart!

‘Since you want to establish an Immortal Kingdom to protect the living beings of the lower worlds, I’ll let you witness them killing one another in the Ten Absolute h.e.l.l!’

‘I’ll let you witness the living beings of the lower worlds being manipulated by us like a bunch of reared beasts while you’re helpless!’

‘I’ll let you endure this mental torment for all eternity!’

‘I’ll let your beliefs crumble so that your Dao Heart will collapse!’

The Ten Absolute Formation was not the only thing that imprisoned this Supreme Perfected Immortal; it was also the blood and corpses of many cultivators of the lower worlds who had died on this land for hundreds of thousands of years!

This was ten thousand times more sinister than killing or being imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years!

Su Zimo shuddered just thinking about it.

Tang Ziyi said, “Actually, be it Absolute Thunder City, Ten Absolute h.e.l.l or the Hunting Meet, there’s another meaning to it.”

“That’s to intimidate all cultivators and living beings. Anyone who has the same thought of establis.h.i.+ng an Immortal Kingdom for the living beings of the lower worlds will end up like this Supreme Perfected Immortal!”

“King Tianxing is telling the world that whoever steps onto this path along the tracks of this Supreme Perfected Immortal will die!”

Tang Ziyi said, “The facts have proven that King Tianxing succeeded.”

“For hundreds of thousands of years, no one in Divine Firmament Mainland dared to stand out and speak up for the living beings of the lower worlds.”

“Once that Supreme Perfected Immortal failed, this path was severed,”

Suddenly, Su Zimo said, “This path is not severed.”

“Mmm?”

Tang Ziyi glanced sideways.

Su Zimo said slowly, “I’ll continue on this path. Even if it’s severed, I can repair it!”

“You can’t continue. The path ahead is already severed. If you take another half a step forward, you’ll be in a bottomless abyss,”

Tang Ziyi shook her head gently.

Su Zimo said, “Even if the path ahead is a bottomless abyss, I’m fearless. Even if I fall into pieces, I have no regrets!”

Tang Ziyi’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Su Zimo in disbelief.

At that moment, Su Zimo’s tone was resolute and his gaze was firm. The light released from his eyes seemed to surpa.s.s the stars and the sun and moon!

Su Zimo felt a strong sense of injustice.

Back in Tianhuang Mainland, when he saw how all living beings in the world could not cultivate and were bullied by cultivators and slaughtered by fiend demons, he had this same strong sense of injustice.

At that time, he made a vow to establish the Martial Dao and bless all living beings.

This time round, Su Zimo wanted to change the fate of the living beings of the lower worlds!

That was because he was from the lower worlds.

Monkey, the Spirit Tiger, Qing Qing, Night Spirit, Little Fox, the Golden Lion… these siblings of his were also from the lower worlds.

Beiming Xue and Carefree, his two disciples, were from the lower worlds as well.

All his old friends had ascended from the lower worlds.

He could empathize with the bullying, injustice and suffering of the living beings of the lower worlds!

When he heard about the experience of this Supreme Perfected Immortal, Su Zimo could no longer suppress the sense of injustice in his heart!

‘If I feel unjust, I’ll quell this injustice completely!’

“I’m Desolate Martial from the lower worlds. One day, I’ll create a pure land for the living beings of the lower worlds,”

Su Zimo clenched his fists and said slowly, “In the future, I’m going to let all living beings of the upper world know of Desolate Martial’s name!”

“Y-You…!”

Tang Ziyi was indignant and wanted to say something to attack Su Zimo.

However, at that moment, the heroic aura that Su Zimo displayed gave her an indescribable feeling.

For a moment, she froze on the spot and merely looked at Su Zimo in a daze.

A moment later, as though she realized something, she turned around hurriedly and whispered, “You’re far from that.”

Su Zimo knew that the path to the upper world would be even more difficult and dangerous.

Given his current strength, it was extremely difficult for him to even have his own place in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, let alone establish a pure land.

This prisoner was once extremely talented. However, in the end, he ended up in such a state where he was worse off than dead.

As Tang Ziyi had said, he was way too far from that.

The cave fell into a long silence.

Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi stood opposite one another, deep in their own thoughts. Neither of them spoke.

“Sigh!”

Suddenly, Su Zimo heard a sigh.

That sigh was ancient and seemed to have descended from the sands of time, carrying a deep emotion that moved one.
