ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 22 Episode 57

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not conceal his killing intent at all and the entire hall was filled with a murderous aura instantly!

The sect masters of the various sects and factions stood up one after another and looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body coldly with wary expressions.

This was Scarlet Dark Valley.

The top experts of the Heaven Essence realm were all gathered here with Heaven Immortal Chi Li presiding over the situation. Everyone believed that even if the Martial Dao Prime Body had extraordinary methods, he would not be able to cause much trouble!

“Do you know who he is?”

The gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body landed on Heaven Immortal Chi Li as he pointed at the figure trapped by the thorn chains not far away and asked slowly.

Due to the cover of the silver mask, the voice of the Martial Dao Prime Body changed.

However, the silver mask could not conceal the cold killing intent in that voice!

Heaven Immortal Chi Li had a fearless expression as he sneered, “Him? He’s just an ant that ascended from the lower worlds. Right now, he’s only my slave and his life and death depends on a single thought of mine!”

“Is that so?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “He came from the same world as me.”

When they heard that, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

The blood vessels in the figure’s eyes seemed to have faded and he no longer struggled. However, he could not react for a moment and looked lost.

The Palace Lord of Peerless Palace sneered, “In that case, the rumors are true. Indeed, you’re from the lower worlds. No matter how strong you are, you’re destined to be a lowlife!”

The Sect Master of Wind Fire Sect raised his brow slightly and said mockingly, “Why? You want to intervene and save this battle slave?”

“Hahahaha!”

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

Heaven Immortal Chi Li looked down with a proud expression and said slowly, “Desolate Martial, let me tell you, if you don’t submit to me today, don’t even think about leaving alive!”

Desolate Martial!

When he heard that, the figure shuddered and spun around, looking at the Martial Dao Prime Body in disbelief.

However, through the silver mask, he could not see the appearance of the Martial Dao Prime Body and could not confirm it right away.

“Brother Yan, it’s me,”

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded at him.

The cultivator wrapped in thorns was the Asura of Tianhuang Mainland, Yan Beichen!

Su Zimo’s two true bodies had ascended. After thousands of years, he finally met an old friend from Tianhuang Mainland who was in the same generation as him.

Ever since the Green Lotus True Body ascended, he had encountered countless dangers in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and every step was treacherous.

Relying on many trump cards and encounters, including the protection of seniors of Tianhuang Mainland, the Green Lotus True Body gradually rose and eventually joined Heaven and Earth Academy, escaping from danger for the time being.

The environment of the upper world was way too vile.

Even for the Green Lotus True Body, the situation was so difficult after his ascension, let alone the others.

Although it was extremely rare for the Asura to cultivate to the Level 9 Black Essence realm, his physical and mental condition was extremely poor and he was tortured beyond recognition.

The spirit consciousness of the Martial Dao Prime Body had long scanned the Asura’s body.

The Asura’s Essence Spirit was severely injured and filled with cracks.

The reason why he could still struggle and release his combat strength was because his body was driven by an innate hatred.

The hatred was so strong that it even covered the injuries on his Essence Spirit and suppressed the negative effects of his Essence Spirit injuries on his body!

The Hatred Sutra was indeed a top-tier Dharmic formulation.

Most cultivation techniques of the lower worlds relied on the environment of the lower world—Spirit Qi, Dharmic powers or bloodline.

Therefore, most cultivation techniques became useless after ascending to the upper world.

However, the Hatred Sutra was different.

The foundation of cultivating the Hatred Sutra was the hatred in one’s heart. Be it in the lower or upper worlds, be it with Spirit Qi or Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, the hatred in one’s heart would always exist.

With hatred, one could cultivate the Hatred Sutra!

That was also the reason why the Asura was able to cultivate to the Level 9 Black Essence realm despite the lack of cultivation resources and being imprisoned.

Of course, the Hatred Sutra had its drawbacks as well.

The intense hatred could suppress the injuries on the Asura’s body for the time being. However, as time passed, the injuries in his body accumulated and turned more serious—he would definitely collapse eventually!

Yan Beichen panted slightly and every single breath he took emitted a strong blood stench.

Although he could not see the appearance of the Martial Dao Prime Body and there was a difference in his voice, he knew in his heart who the purple-robed man before him was!

There was only a single person in Tianhuang Mainland who would address him as such!

“You…”

Yan Beichen looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body. The initial excitement in his eyes gradually dissipated and he revealed a worried expression.

After he ascended, he was imprisoned here.

He knew very well how strong, terrifying and powerful the enemies he was facing were—they were completely unstoppable!

Su Zimo had only ascended 2,000 years earlier than him—how could he have grown to the point where he was comparable to these experts?

“Escape on your own,”

Yan Beichen said softly.

“Without my permission, no one can dream of leaving today!”

Heaven Immortal Chi Li said coldly and waved his palm. With a bang, the heavy door of the hall closed rapidly.

Every single tile in the hall was made from rare metal ores.

Once the door to the hall was closed, it was almost equivalent to a prison. Even Heaven Immortals would have difficulty breaking through it with brute force!

“That’s right,”

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded and murmured softly, “Without my permission, no one can dream of leaving today.”

He seemed to be repeating Heaven Immortal Chi Li’s words.

However, everyone in the hall suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat and shuddered, as though a calamity was about to descend!

Before that thought was finished, the Martial Dao Prime Body suddenly attacked!

He strode forward and arrived before Heaven Immortal Chi Li instantly, punching!

There were no unnecessary movements—it was just a normal punch.

However, that punch contained the will of the Martial Dao and interweaved all the Dao and Dharmic arts of the Martial Dao Prime Body—it was unshakable and indestructible!

Heaven Immortal Chi Li’s expression changed starkly!

The contempt and arrogance in his eyes vanished instantly.

Under the envelopment of that punch, all his past pride, glory and confidence were crushed instantly!

He could sense a strong aura of death!

“Astral Swap!”

Heaven Immortal Chi Li roared and channeled his Essence Spirit to its limits, releasing a supreme divine power!

He did not dare to take the Martial Dao Prime Body head-on and could only circulate Astral Swap, wanting to shift the power released by that punch elsewhere.

The power of divine powers spread.

Under the effect of Astral Swap, a terrifying power was spun to the side by Heaven Immortal Chi Li and descended on the Palace Lord of Peerless Palace!

Bang!

The Palace Lord of Peerless Palace, a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal, had just summoned his Dharmic treasure when he was turned into a blood mist by the punch before he could react!

His Essence Spirit was destroyed on the spot without the chance to use Blood Rebirth!

Heaven Immortal Chi Li seized the opportunity to retreat dozens of feet.

Suddenly!

His figure paused and trembled slightly with endless fear in his eyes.

Right in front of everyone, the body of Heaven Immortal Chi Li exploded as well. Broken limbs flew everywhere and fresh blood splattered on the ground.

“You overestimate yourself,”

The Martial Dao Prime Body sneered, “Can you even withstand my punch?!”

Although Astral Swap neutralized most of the punch from the Martial Dao Prime Body, the Martial Dao will and Dharmic arts contained in that punch still struck Heaven Immortal Chi Li and ruptured his body!
