ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 22 Episode 100

One after another, gigantic fireballs descended from the skies, covering the skies.

Lava spewed continuously from the cracks in the ground as thick smoke billowed.

The entire world was dark and flames burned everywhere, as though the apocalypse had arrived in a terrifying manner!

In the square, many cultivators had never participated in the Earth Ranking competition and this was their first time witnessing such a scene. All of them had pale expressions and felt like they were about to suffocate!

!!

Although they had long heard that the elimination round of the Nine Heavens was unusually terrifying, no one expected them to be this frightening!

If that was the case for bystanders, it was hard to imagine how great was the impact the cultivators involved had to withstand.

Feng Yin and Tai Hua arrived in midair as well.

The black wind on Feng Yin’s body collided repeatedly with the descending Heavenly Fire in the skies and his speed naturally slowed down.

Tai Hua flew through the air and Essence Qi burst forth from his fingertips one after another, entering the dark clouds above his head to defend against the impact of the Heavenly Fire.

For the two reincarnated immortals and top monster incarnates such as Tie Han and Yue Feng, such a huge change in the world was not much of a threat. It merely reduced their speed slightly.

However, for most Earth Immortals, they had almost nowhere to hide as lava surged and Heavenly Fire blanketed the place.

Initially, many cultivators held back. However, at that moment, they could not care less and summoned their trump cards one after another, barely holding on.

Up till now, more than 10,000 Earth Immortals had died in Level 1 and that number was still rising!

“Look, Su Zimo is already in the top 10,000!”

“Psst! How fast!”

A series of exclamations sounded from the crowd.

Unknowingly, the Grade 8 Earth Immortal who was initially ranked at around 900,000 had already moved to the top 10,000!

Furthermore, his ranking was still rising rapidly!

“Even a universal phenomenon as such can’t stop him?”

Right in front of everyone, even when lava spewed and Heavenly Fire descended, Su Zimo’s speed did not decrease at all and he continued to surpass his other opponents!

When Heavenly Fire descended, he shattered it barehanded without using any immortal arts or divine powers!

5,000…

3,000…

1,000!

Before long, Su Zimo’s ranking rose to the top 1,000!

In the world of Level 1, a sea of flames surged and raging flames burned. Although Heavenly Fire enveloped the place, it could not stop his figure at all!

This time round, most of the cultivators in the square focused their attention on Su Zimo.

A question flashed through everyone’s minds.

Could this person really catch up and make it to the top hundred?

Splash!

Right then, the rumbling lava in the crack suddenly surged and created a scarlet firewall that blocked the path of many cultivators.

The lava in the crack condensed continuously and materialized.

In the blink of an eye, Lava Giants that were a thousand feet tall were formed from the flames of Level 1 and blocked the path of many cultivators!

“Roar!”

The Lava Giants roared with red eyes and scorching lava flowing through their bodies. Their auras were searing and their might was terrifying!

Bang!

A Lava Giant raised its leg and descended heavily.

A cultivator could not dodge in time and was trampled by the gigantic foot. Divine powers and immortal arts collapsed on the spot and he was trampled into ashes without a corpse left!

Phew!

Another Lava Giant extended its gigantic palm and swiped through the air, grabbing an Earth Immortal who was dodging in panic.

The palm covered the skies and when the person saw that he could not dodge, he released all his divine powers and secret skills. However, he merely created a small pit on the Lava Giant.

Lava surged and filled the pit instantly.

Pfft!

The cultivator exhausted all his methods and was grabbed by the Lava Giant. Green smoke rose and he died.

This scene repeated itself repeatedly in the Nine Heavens.

The power of the Lava Giants was extremely terrifying and it was useless even if many cultivators joined forces and crippled them.

The lava surged continuously and the bodies of the Lava Giants recovered before long.

In this flaming world, the Lava Giants were almost undead!

In the square, Perfected Immortal Xie Ling said slowly, “Once Lava Giants are born in this place, fighting them head-on is the most unwise decision.”

“Although the power of these Lava Giants has not exceeded the limit of an Earth Immortal, their power is endless and will not weaken.”

Everyone looked at the situation in the Nine Heavens and focused on how some top paragons were going to face it.

“Look over there. Su Zimo did not fight them head-on. Instead, he circled around with his movement technique!”

Right in front of many cultivators, Su Zimo encountered a Lava Giant blocking his way. Pausing for a moment, he made use of his movement technique and passed through the legs of the Lava Giant.

The Lava Giant’s palm missed.

…

By the time he turned around, Su Zimo had already run far away and was out of the Lava Giant’s attack range.

The Lava Giants would not target a single person and merely stood on the spot, blocking cultivators who wanted to charge over.

Xie Ling smiled gently and said, “Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy’s method of dealing with it is the most rational and relaxed.”

“This is the first time that lad has experienced such a situation. The fact that he can make the fastest judgment and think of the best way to deal with it in a short period of time is indeed impressive.”

As the person in charge this time round, this was the first time that Perfected Immortal Xie Ling praised a cultivator.

“Your Highness, aren’t you overestimating him?”

Prince Yuan Zuo pouted in disdain. “In my opinion, it’s just some opportunistic tricks.”

Xie Ling smiled and did not refute. “Of course, there might be other living beings born later on. At that time, it won’t be so easy to deal with them. The true combat strength of the cultivators will be tested!”

At that moment, after breaking through the obstruction of the Lava Giant, Su Zimo’s ranking had already risen to 98!

Suddenly!

A series of dense bird cries sounded from the distant skies.

…

Immediately after, a large patch of red spread from the distant horizon and approached rapidly. The sound of birds chirping became clearer as well!

“It’s the Fire Sparrows!”

In the square, the Heaven Immortals of the major factions suddenly exclaimed and their expressions changed slightly.

Among them, they had either experienced the Fire Sparrows before or heard of them.

Legend has it that Fire Sparrows inherited a wisp of the Vermilion Bird’s bloodline.

A single Fire Sparrow was nothing to fear and was only at the cultivation realm of an ordinary Earth Immortal.

However, the Fire Sparrows swarmed over in a group of millions. They covered the skies and could not be blocked or dodged!

For the Earth Immortals fighting for the Earth Ranking, the Lava Giants were not the greatest threat—it was the Fire Sparrows that blanketed the skies!

Even Feng Yin and Tai Hua who were at the front had to release various methods in order to deal with this swarm of Fire Sparrows.

Nine Heavens.

Su Zimo focused his gaze.

Although his movement technique was strong, it was impossible for him to dodge this swarm of Fire Sparrows.

Since he could not dodge, he could only face them head-on.

With a single thought, a layer of flames enveloped Su Zimo’s body.
