ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 23 Episode 1

The dense flames on Su Zimo’s body were pure white, making him stand out in the world of scarlet flames.

“White flames?”

“I heard that Su Zimo mastered a flame immortal art. Is that the flame? It doesn’t seem like there’s anything special about it.”

Many cultivators turned to look at the camp of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom instinctively.

!!

The Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom established its Dao with flames and no sect or faction in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain could compare to its control of flames.

“There are many types of flames, but there are only a few with the strongest might. For example, the scarlet Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the green Hellfire, the golden Sun Essence Fire or the purple Purple Heavenly Fire…”

Perfected Immortal Xie Ling pondered for a moment and said, “White flames are rather rare. However, it’s impossible if he thinks that he can break through the obstruction of the Fire Sparrows with just a single flame.”

As Xie Ling had said, after the Fire Sparrows appeared, it was an unimaginable test for the Earth Immortals in the Nine Heavens!

The Fire Sparrows were dense and covered the skies—there was nowhere to hide.

Even Feng Yin and Tai Hua who were charging at the front began to release some divine powers and secret skills to chase away the incoming Fire Sparrows.

A large number of Fire Sparrows died tragically in front of the two of them!

Although their speed had decreased significantly, they could still continue forward.

However, for most people, the appearance of the Fire Sparrows was a devastating catastrophe!

The barrier conjured by an Earth Immortal using a secret skill was shattered by a few Fire Sparrows.

The Earth Immortal’s body was completely exposed to the Fire Sparrows.

His aura was completely different from Level 1.

The fire living beings in Level 1 Heaven were all formed from flames. This person was made of flesh and blood. The moment he was exposed, countless Fire Sparrows charged forward!

“Great Rain Summoning!”

“Boundless Frost Seal!”

“Violet Cloud Seal!”

The Earth Immortal released greater divine powers and immortal Dao secret skills one after another to fight the Fire Sparrows head-on. He released a deafening might and sparks flew!

However, the Fire Sparrows were endless and more and more of them charged forward.

Before long, the Earth Immortal was drowned by the sea of Fire Sparrows and his Essence Spirit was destroyed, dying on the spot!

“He seems to be ranked 93 on the Earth Ranking predictions. Han Jia of a major immortal Dao clan.”

“To think that he would fail to clear Level 1 despite the fact that he’s on the Earth Ranking predictions.”

Many cultivators were secretly alarmed.

Everyone realized that the situation in the Nine Heavens was even more tragic than they had imagined!

Even paragons on the Earth Ranking predictions might not be able to survive!

“Look at Princess Scarlet Rainbow! She’s using the greater divine power, the 72 Transformations, to transform into a Fire Sparrow and mix in with the Fire Sparrows!”

“How smart! That’s a way to break out of the situation indeed!”

“Not necessarily.”

As everyone discussed, they saw other Earth Immortals think of this method as well. They released greater divine power and transformed into Fire Sparrows.

Although their forms were identical to the Fire Sparrows, their auras could not be compared to the Fire Sparrows of the Nine Heavens.

Fire Sparrows relied on sensing auras to attack.

All living beings that were incompatible with the aura of this world were their targets, be it Fire Sparrows or the gravel and lava.

Although these Earth Immortals transformed into Fire Sparrows, unexpectedly, they were surrounded by the real Fire Sparrows in the blink of an eye and revealed their true forms.

As for Princess Scarlet Rainbow, she was not attacked despite being among the Fire Sparrows.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Xie Ling spoke, “Scarlet Rainbow cultivated the Great Sun Sutra and can control flames. She can imitate the Fire Sparrows’ flame aura to a close to the mark. Others don’t have the ability to do so. If they transform rashly, it will only backfire.”

“Su Zimo is about to encounter the Fire Sparrows as well!”

Someone shouted and attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Everyone wanted to see how this Grade 8 Earth Immortal of the academy would defend against such a terrifying group of Fire Sparrows.

Su Zimo’s body burned with white flames as he looked at the approaching Fire Sparrows. He did not show any signs of dodging and his movement technique did not even slow down. Instead, he welcomed them!

The next moment, a shocking scene happened!

Before the sea of Fire Sparrows could strike Su Zimo, they took the initiative to avoid the detour.

Right in front of everyone, the fiery red ocean seemed to have been separated from the middle by an invisible force and surged to both sides!

Su Zimo was bathed in white flames and looked extremely striking in the red sea of flames.

However, when went against the current, the sea of flames had no intention of stopping him and none of the Fire Sparrows attacked him!

“This…”

Many cultivators in the square were dumbfounded and confused.

Even the many Heaven Immortals present could not tell what was going on.

“Interesting, interesting!”

Yun Ting smiled and clapped in praise.

A look of realization flashed through Prince Yuan Zuo’s eyes. As though he thought of something, he sneered, “What’s there to be surprised about? His Highness Xie Ling said earlier that the attacks of the Fire Sparrows relied on aura detection.”

“Although he did not change his figure, he must have imitated the aura of the Fire Sparrows to not be attacked.”

…

“Idiot!”

Suddenly, Yun Ting spoke and sneered.

“Who are you scolding?!”

Prince Yuan Zuo glared angrily.

Yun Ting burst into laughter and pointed at Prince Yuan Zuo, saying without hiding anything, “Of course I’m scolding you! Princess Scarlet Rainbow released her divine power and transformed into the form of a Fire Sparrow, imitating its aura. However, she was only mixed in the group of Fire Sparrows. Is Su Zimo in the same situation as Princess Scarlet Rainbow?”

“…”

Prince Yuan Zuo was stumped by Yun Ting’s question and was speechless for a moment. He merely clenched his fists in rage.

Perfected Immortal Xie Ling frowned slightly and said sternly, “This situation is a little strange and is indeed different from Scarlet Rainbow. The movements and trajectory of the Fire Sparrows seem more like… fear?”

Towards the end, Xie Ling’s tone became confused and uncertain.

What was the Fire Sparrows afraid of?

They were not pure living beings and did not have sentience. They only knew how to attack living beings with different auras. However, why would they feel fear towards Su Zimo?

…

In fact, even the entire Fire Sparrow group was opening up a path for him!

White flames?

Xie Ling murmured softly in deep thought.

Although he was a Perfected Immortal, he did not recognize the flames on Su Zimo.

This was the Southern Mingli Fire recorded in the Hell Suppression Tripod.

As for the Hell Suppression Tripod, it was the Emperor weapon of the Infinite Great Emperor and came from the ancient era that was once buried. It had been many years since then and Xie Ling had naturally not seen the flames on the tripod.

The reason why the Fire Sparrows gave way was because the Southern Mingli Fire originated from the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul.

The flame was still white right now. If it was cultivated to its limits, there was a chance it could transform into a scarlet Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame!

The Southern Mingli Fire carried an extremely strong aura of the Vermilion Bird.

The Fire Sparrows did not have high sentience. When they sensed the aura of the Vermilion Bird, they did not dare to attack and dodged one after another.

That was why the strange and shocking scene that everyone in the square witnessed was formed!
