ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 24 Episode 55

Yun Zhu said, “Regarding the identity of this tomb keeper, I have to go back and ask my father. I’ll also head to the library to read some ancient books and information to see if there are any records of this person.”

“We can’t linger here. Let’s leave first.”

Su Zimo said in a deep voice.

Although the tomb keeper had long vanished without a trace, the three of them still felt uneasy.

The three of them moved immediately and before long, they arrived at the teleportation formation closest to this place.

Su Zimo looked at Yun Zhu. “I’m going the same way as Senior Sister Mo Qing. After you, Fellow Daoist.”

Yun Zhu did not decline and smiled gently, cupping her fists. “I was lucky to get to know you two Fellow Daoists on this trip to Hell and I’m delighted. I wonder when we’ll meet again after this separation.”

After leaving Avici, the weakness on Yun Zhu seemed to have vanished. Instead, she looked more heroic and carefree.

Although the four great fairies had long been renowned in the Heavenly World, they did not have much interaction with one another, let alone know one another.

Although this period of time in Avici was not long, the two fairies naturally had a deeper relationship after experiencing such tribulations together.

Furthermore, they could understand the other party’s character and temperament from this experience.

Mo Qing was not good with words and merely held Yun Zhu’s palm gently with a hint of reluctance in her beautiful eyes.

Up till this point of her cultivation, she did not have many friends.

However, after today, Mo Qing viewed Yun Zhu as her only confidant.

“Not only did I get to know a sister for this trip to Hell, I even seem to have met…” Mo Qing lowered her head slightly as her imagination ran wild.

“We’ll meet again.”

Su Zimo said, “Everything else aside, the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet is still the greatest event in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain where all major sects and factions will gather.”

Mo Qing’s eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

Su Zimo looked at Yun Zhu and smiled. “At that time, I’ll have to fight with your brother for the top of the Heaven Ranking. You won’t be absent, right?”

“Initially, I had no intention of watching the battle.”

Yun Zhu smiled and said meaningfully, “However, since you’re the one fighting with Yun Ting, I can’t miss it.”

As she spoke, she looked at Su Zimo with sparkling and resplendent eyes.

Su Zimo was a little defeated and averted his gaze, coughing gently. “It’ll be fine as long as you don’t get angry if I bash Yun Ting up.”

Yun Zhu smiled. “He has a proud personality. It’ll be good if he can suffer some setbacks.”

Mo Qing added, “Initially, I didn’t really like these grand events. I always felt that it was too noisy with too many people. However, if you’re willing to go, sister, I’ll go take a look as well.”

“Alright, let’s part ways here today. We’ll talk again in the future.”

Yun Zhu cupped her fists in farewell and turned to enter the teleportation formation, leaving in a carefree manner.

“Senior sister, let’s go too.”

Su Zimo said and entered the teleportation formation. Mo Qing nodded and entered as well.

The two of them activated the teleportation formation and returned to Heaven and Earth Academy.

…

Avici.

The three Buddhist Heavenly Kings fell as though they had descended upon a gigantic and complicated maze with tunnels everywhere.

Some of the tunnels were dead ends while others led to even more tunnels.

The three Heavenly Kings could not get out of this place and circled around it continuously.

That was not the most terrifying thing.

What was even more frightening was that there were strange ants in this tunnel that once formed a small-scale ant swarm that attacked them.

The three Heavenly Kings joined forces and barely managed to hold out.

However, they could not use their Essence Spirits here and could only rely on their physiques and blood qi. If a few more such ant swarms arrived, they would not be able to last long!

Furthermore, those ants were getting stronger.

They merely felt itchy when the ants that first appeared bit them.

However, in the end, there were already ants that could bite through their flesh!

If there were tens of millions of such ants gathered in a group, the three of them would probably be gnawed to death in less than 15 minutes!

The three Heavenly Kings scurried everywhere in the maze but could not find a way out.

Before long, the three Heavenly Kings arrived at the end of a tunnel!

The three of them could only turn back. However, the moment they turned around, they saw a gigantic ant swarm surging towards them like an unstoppable black torrent!

“Ah!”

With nowhere to retreat, the three Heavenly Kings roared and channeled their blood qi, fighting with all their might.

However, the three of them seemed incomparably tiny against the black torrent. In just a few breaths, their figures were drowned.

The three of them were covered in Hell Ants that gnawed at their flesh continuously!

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were covered in injuries and blood gushed out!

The roars of the three of them gradually turned deep and tragic.

Their blood qi deteriorated rapidly.

Even Heavenly King experts could not defend against the encirclement of so many living beings from Hell.

Furthermore, the three Heavenly Kings were in their twilight years.

Just as they were in despair, the black torrent on their bodies retreated rapidly and disappeared before long.

The three of them could only lie on the ground and could not even stand. Many parts of their bodies were gnawed by the Hell Ants, revealing white bones in a shocking manner!

Their organs were riddled with holes by the Hell Ants.

“What’s going on?”

“What happened?”

The three Heavenly Kings panted heavily and tried their best to raise their heads, wanting to see what was going on.

Through their blurry vision, two figures walked over slowly from the other end of the tunnel.

Their leader wore purple robes and a silver mask. He was like an emissary from the depths of Hell and exuded a sinister and terrifying aura.

It was as though the appearance of this person was the reason why the terrifying ants disappeared!

A young monk followed behind the purple-robed man.

“Y-You’re a disciple of Vessa Monastery!”

When a Heavenly King saw the monk robes on the young monk, he recognized his background and tried his best to extend his arm, panting. “I’m Heavenly King Bu Kong of Vessa Monastery. S-Save me!”

As a Heavenly King of Vessa Monastery, there was naturally no way he would know an ordinary disciple like the young monk.

However, he believed that any disciple of Vessa Monastery would definitely recognize him!

The young monk lowered his head in silence.

“Fellow Daoist, save us!”

The other Heavenly King struggled and crawled slowly, wanting to approach the purple-robed man.

Suddenly, the purple-robed man spoke, “I’ve asked before. Aren’t you guys afraid of karma at this point of your Buddha cultivation?”

The three Heavenly Kings were stunned.

That sentence did sound familiar, as though they had heard it somewhere not long ago.

However, the three of them were severely injured by the attack of the Hell Ants and the pain was unbearable. Their minds were in a mess and they could not recall anything at the moment.

“Alright, I’ll let you guys die in peace.”

As the purple-robed man said that, he reached out and removed his mask, revealing a refined face.

“It’s you…”

The pupils of the three Heavenly Kings constricted as though they had seen a ghost!

At that moment, the purple-robed man before them gave them even more fear than the ants in Hell!

The Martial Dao Prime Body put on his silver mask once more and turned to leave, saying indifferently, “The cycle of karma is not good.”

Right in front of the three Heavenly Kings, the figure of the Martial Dao Prime Body gradually disappeared at the end of the tunnel.

Before long, their vision was occupied by the black torrent once more!
