ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 23 Episode 9

“Feng Yin, Tai Hua and the others are about to ascend to Level 4. I wonder if Su Zimo can catch up to them.”

“Although Su Zimo obtained two treasures, he wasted a lot of time and even released many powerful methods in advance. He might be in danger if he’s surrounded by the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect.”

“Right!”

A cultivator seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion, “According to Prince Yuan Zuo, they’re going to surround and kill Su Zimo in the Nine Heavens. Why aren’t there any signs yet?”

Up till now in the elimination round of the Earth Ranking, other than the test exchange between Tie Han and Su Zimo, the other cultivators of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect did not make any moves towards Su Zimo.

The cultivators of the two factions were advancing at full speed, as though they had forgotten about this matter.

“Your Highness, could Prince Yuan Zuo have been bluffing to disrupt the situation?”

Xu Xiaotian asked softly.

Xie Qingcheng shook his head gently. “No. Since Prince Yuan Zuo said it in front of everyone, he will definitely attack.”

“Furthermore, this time round, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect clearly came prepared and planned for a long time. They won’t give up halfway.”

Xu Xiaotian said, “However, none of them have shown any signs of attacking up till now.”

Xie Qingcheng pondered for a moment before saying slowly, “In order to attack Su Zimo, the Earth Immortals of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect have to gather first.”

“Cultivators who enter the Nine Heavens are scattered everywhere and it’s not easy to gather them unless they’re in a special place…”

At that point, Xie Qingcheng paused for a moment and his eyes lit up. “Teleportation formation!”

Xu Xiaotian gradually understood as well.

No matter where the cultivators were, they had to head to the teleportation formation eventually.

In other words, only a teleportation formation could gather the cultivators of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect!

“Which teleportation formation will it be?”

Xu Xiaotian asked again.

“Nothing.”

Xie Qingcheng shook his head gently. “They did not make any moves at the teleportation formations of Level 1 and 2. From Levels 3 to 5, every single teleportation formation holds an equal probability.”

On the other side.

This time round, Prince Yuan Zuo did not say anything when he saw Su Zimo obtain the treasure of Level 2. Instead, he smiled.

He understood something.

The more treasures Su Zimo snatched, the better because in the end, all of them would belong to him!

Furthermore, Su Zimo would have to release many trump cards and expend a large amount of Essence Qi to snatch the treasures at the front. That would make their plan even smoother.

At that thought, Prince Yuan Zuo hoped instead that Su Zimo would continue searching for treasures.

It would be best if he could obtain all the treasures of Levels 3 and 4!

Nine Heavens.

Su Zimo realized that his ranking was a little behind.

If he wanted to obtain the treasure in this space, he had to increase his speed as much as possible!

At that thought, Su Zimo circulated his Dharmic art and conjured Heavenly Feet and Boundless Golden Light behind him. His speed increased exponentially and he transformed into a golden streak of light, speeding forward!

In the square, many cultivators frowned.

The elders of the academy were worried as well.

This space was metal and focused on killing. It was the most dangerous and filled with ubiquitous killing intent. The greatest taboo was to charge forward brashly at full speed!

If there was any sudden danger, he would not be able to react in time against such a high speed sprint.

Before this, if anyone was distracted, they would be sliced into two by a sharp blade that suddenly descended from the skies, let alone advance at full speed!

“Isn’t that speed way too fast?”

“Maintaining this speed in this space is like speeding through the borders of life and death, as though he can charge into the gates of hell at any moment!”

Many cultivators were secretly speechless.

The speed displayed by Su Zimo was almost at the limits of an Earth Immortal!

Clang!

Just as everyone was discussing, a gigantic saber appeared in front of Su Zimo and slashed towards his figure!

“Ah!”

Someone exclaimed.

Su Zimo’s speed was too fast and he could only see a golden light flying over. Even if the gigantic blade did not slash over, it would be difficult to avoid it given the immense inertia of the golden light.

Swoosh!

The saber slashed down and the golden light brushed by without slowing down!

“Eh?”

“It missed?”

Everyone was surprised.

Su Zimo did not seem to dodge and continued advancing at full speed. However, the blade hit nothing.

Logically speaking, the killing weapons in this space should not have missed. This scene seemed a little strange to everyone.

Only Perfected Immortal Xie Ling and some Heaven Immortal experts present could see what happened earlier.

…

The moment the saber appeared, Su Zimo’s figure changed directions slightly—it was imperceptible given his terrifying speed.

However, that slight change allowed him to avoid the blade!

He did not waste any space or reduce his speed at all. He merely brushed shoulders with the saber and controlled his actions with extreme precision that was shocking!

The elders of Heaven and Earth Academy exchanged glances and nodded to themselves.

That move alone was enough to kill most Earth Immortals instantly.

As for Perfected Immortal Xie Ling, he looked at Su Zimo’s figure thoughtfully.

He was thinking about something else.

The blade was formed almost instantly. Given Su Zimo’s speed, it was already too late for him to dodge when he saw the blade.

However, that lad avoided it perfectly.

It was as though Su Zimo could sense danger beforehand and make changes!

Was it just his imagination?

…

Xie Ling thought to himself.

As Su Zimo advanced, the obstacles and killing intent ahead increased.

At any moment, there might be sabers and axes blocking his way and sword qi threatening to pierce his body at every corner… killing weapons were increasing in number and intensity!

Each time, Su Zimo could avoid the sharpness by a hair’s breadth and brush past the killing weapons.

Right from the beginning, his speed had not decreased!

“That’s way too terrifying!”

“How did he do it?”

“I’ve never seen anyone pass through Level 3 in such a manner.”

Right in front of everyone, the figure in Level 3 sped through the air and danced continuously. Occasionally, it turned sideways, lowered its head and made a slight turn.

Each time, he could avoid the blade and killing intent.

The figure seemed to be dancing on the blades, roaming freely in the killing intent. It was carefree and elegant, giving off a stunning feeling.

Su Zimo’s ranking was rising rapidly.

On the other side, Feng Yin, Tai Hua and the others had already arrived at the teleportation formation of Level 3 and ascended one after another without stopping.

“He’s already very fast. However, he’s still far behind after all. It’s going to be difficult for him to catch up to Feng Yin and the others,”

A cultivator analyzed.

As though he heard that, a pair of wings appeared behind the figure in the Nine Heavens and his speed increased once more!
