Eternal Sacred King Chapter 3265: Palace Lord Chaos

Chapter 3265: Palace Lord Chaos

Xu Rui and the other two were stunned.

What did he mean by that?

How should they reply to that?

Initially, the three of them wanted to celebrate. However, Su Zimo seemed rather regretful.

Su Zimo willed with his spirit consciousness and retracted the Avici and Nether Swords.

“These two swords are way too powerful. I have to be careful when using them in the future.”

Su Zimo thought to himself.

Furthermore, when he summoned the Avici and Nether Swords earlier on, the two swords seemed to be a little excited and even showed signs of breaking free from his control!

If not for that, the sword qi of the Nether Sword might not have been able to pierce Great Heavenly Supremacy Black Goat’s skin.

“Fellow Daoist Su, it seems like you didn’t want to kill those two Great Heavenly Supremacies?”

Chen Qianhe probed.

Su Zimo nodded and did not hide anything. “My original intention was to subdue the two of them and make use of them to control Black Goat Ridge for the use of Chaos Palace.”

“From the looks of it, with their deaths, there might be a chaotic situation of demons competing for supremacy in Black Goat Ridge. It’ll probably be difficult for us to occupy Black Goat Ridge.”

Given his combat strength, he could naturally reign supreme in Black Goat Ridge.

However, there were only 3,000-odd people in Chaos Palace. Furthermore, most of them had low cultivation realms and were not strong enough.

Even if they occupied Black Goat Ridge, they would not be able to defend such a huge territory.

The main reason why Su Zimo ascended to the major chiliocosm was to increase his cultivation as soon as possible to strengthen himself. It was impossible for him to head around everywhere fighting demons for Source Mines and territories.

“Fellow Daoist Su, actually, even if you spared the lives of the two Great Heavenly Supremacies of Black Goat Ridge, they would not have submitted willingly.”

Xu Rui said in a deep voice, “For more than six billion years, experts of the various races have rampaged through the Southeast Region for many years and reigned supreme. How can they be willing to submit to others?”

“If we keep them by our side, they might betray us at any moment. Instead, they will become a huge latent danger.”

Chen Qianhe nodded as well. “You’ve already killed the four leaders of Myriad Beast Ridge. However, the other demon beasts did not choose to stay. Instead, they dispersed.”

“From the bottom of their hearts, they don’t acknowledge us.”

Meng s.h.i.+ was even more extreme as he said hatefully, “All these years, living beings of the various races have committed countless crimes in the southeastern region. Their crimes are unforgivable. It’s better to kill them!”

Su Zimo was silent.

From the looks of it, even if he left the demon beasts behind, it would be difficult for him to interact with everyone from Chaos Palace and there would inevitably be conflicts in the future.

At that thought, Su Zimo had no intention of stopping the fleeing demon beasts.

There was someone mixed in with the demons who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. However, he could not be allowed to leave!

Su Zimo’s gaze s.h.i.+fted and landed on the cultivator who was fleeing in panic. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the person from the void, throwing him on the ground casually.

The person’s face was pale and filled with fear—it was Pan Mu who had betrayed Chaos Palace!

It was only when the Great Heavenly Supremacies and Heavenly Supremacies of Myriad Beast Ridge and Black Goat Ridge died in succession that he finally understood why Su Zimo brought him to Myriad Beast Ridge and even declared that he would let him die in peace.

“Traitor!”

Meng s.h.i.+ spat and cursed.

Su Zimo looked at Xu Rui and asked, “Are there any sect rules in Chaos Palace that dictates the punishment for such people?”

Although he had saved everyone from Chaos Palace and his combat strength was top-notch, he was not Palace Lord Chaos after all.

It was best to leave such matters to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui cupped his fists and replied, “According to our ancestors, the sect rules of the Chaos Sanctuary back then were rather lax and benevolent. There were no harsh restrictions on the living beings of Chaos Palace and they could come and go freely.”

“Even if the Chaos Sanctuary encounters danger and someone chooses to leave, the Chaos Sanctuary won’t punish them. However, they won’t be able to return to the Sanctuary in the future.”

Su Zimo nodded slightly.

From the looks of it, the Chaos Sanctuary could indeed be considered benevolent.

It was understandable because the Flora race did not have strong killing intent to begin with.

Even in minor chiliocosms and medium chiliocosm, there were not many such lax and benevolent sect rules.

Xu Rui continued, “However, Pan Mu did not only try to escape from Chaos Palace. Instead, he joined other factions and tried to take down Chaos Palace with them. That’s intolerable!”

Even if Pan Mu did not want to stay in Chaos Palace or suffer through thick and thin with it, the sect rules of Chaos Palace would not punish him.

However, by helping outsiders to deal with Chaos Palace, he had crossed the bottom line!

Earlier on in the Myriad Beast Hall, Pan Mu even wanted to make use of Myriad Beast Ridge and Black Goat Ridge to destroy everyone from Chaos Palace—that was an unforgivable crime!

“Palace Lord, please give the order!”

Right then, Xu Rui suddenly turned around and bowed to Su Zimo.

Chen Qianhe and Meng s.h.i.+ bowed as well, as though the three of them had long discussed it.

“I’ve just ascended…”

Su Zimo was slightly stunned.

“Palace Lord, you saved Chaos Palace and you’re our benefactor.”

“Furthermore, you cultivate the Chaos Great Dao and are definitely qualified to be the Lord of Chaos Palace. Please don’t decline!”

Xu Rui said in a deep voice.

Chen Qianhe added, “Palace Lord, please agree to help Chaos Palace.”

“All these years, there has never been a true Palace Lord in Chaos Palace. It’s always us senior brothers who lead.”

Meng s.h.i.+ said, “From now on, I, Meng s.h.i.+, will only submit to you!”

When everyone from Chaos Palace saw that, they bowed to Su Zimo as well with antic.i.p.ation in their eyes.

They all saw a trace of hope in Su Zimo.

Perhaps the glory of the Chaos Sanctuary would really reappear one day!

Furthermore, although the current Chaos Palace could take root in Myriad Beast Ridge, it could not gain a foothold with just the 3,000-dd of them.

Chaos Palace could only survive if Su Zimo stayed behind!

“Alright.”

With that thought, Su Zimo agreed.

Initially, he had already synthesized the Creation Green Lotus and Karmic Fire Red Lotus and could already be considered half a Chaos Green Lotus. Since he was closely related to the Chaos Sanctuary, there was no need for him to decline.

Apart from him, there was probably no one else who was qualified to lead Chaos Palace!

“Alright!”

When he saw Su Zimo agree, Meng s.h.i.+ was all smiles as he shouted excitedly.

All these years, they had never been as happy and proud as they were today.

Just a day ago, Chaos Palace was lifeless and everyone was dispirited.

But now, every Chaos Palace cultivator was filled with a heartfelt smile and exuberant vitality!

All of this had nothing to do with Pan Mu.

Pan Mu looked at the familiar faces and the smiles on the faces of his old friends. He could not help but recall the days when he cultivated with everyone and fled in exile together.

Although those days were arduous and dangerous as though they were treading on thin ice, everyone gathered together and experienced joy and sorrow together. They went through thick and thin together and defended the last hope of Chaos Palace, finding joy in suffering.

Suddenly, Pan Mu realized that those days and the people before him had long been etched in his mind, occupying an irreplaceable position!

Endless regret and guilt suddenly rose in the depths of his heart.

“Initially, I should have been one of you…”

Pan Mu murmured softly.

Before his sentence was finished, Pan Mu shuddered and the light in his eyes gradually dissipated. He looked at Xu Rui and the others. Finally, he revealed a smile, mumbling, “Everyone… take care.”

With that, Pan Mu committed suicide and fell to the ground.
