ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 25 Episode 6

After the seventh drumbeat, Su Zimo paused the longest.

To Ying Tian and the others, Su Zimo definitely could not withstand such a blow and was at a loss as to whether to advance or retreat. Right now, he must be in immense torture.

If Su Zimo took a step further, the eighth drumbeat would sound and he would definitely die.

However, if he were to retreat, he would be in his twilight years and would not have much lifespan left.

From his high spirits earlier on to his current twilight years, everything happened within a short distance of 700 feet in less than 15 minutes—who could withstand such a blow?

A long time later, Su Zimo finally opened his eyes.

His back was facing Ying Tian and the others and there was naturally no way they could see the look in his eyes—it was filled with the endless vicissitudes of time!

Although Su Zimo’s body was almost at the end of its road, the glint in his eyes intensified!

Under the gazes of Ying Tian and the others, Su Zimo advanced once more!

“Don’t…”

Lin Luo spoke instinctively.

“Haha!”

Ying Tian burst into laughter.

“He’s too obsessed.”

Lang Qianqian shook her head, seemingly in pity.

Dong!

The eighth drumbeat sounded.

However, to the surprise of Ying Tian and the others, Su Zimo did not exhaust his lifespan. Instead, he wobbled across another 100 feet.

His footsteps were slow and even staggered. However, his lifespan did not show any signs of decreasing!

“Mmm?”

Ying Tian’s laughter stopped abruptly.

Lang Qianqian, Golden Feather and Lin Luo were dumbfounded as well.

This time round, Su Zimo did not stop in his tracks and continued forward.

The ninth drumbeat sounded.

Su Zimo did not fall still and had a lifespan of 10,000 years remaining!

It was as though the Dharmic Dao of the Twilight Drum no longer had any effect on him.

“Erm…”

Ying Tian and the others widened their eyes and were dumbfounded.

In that short period of time, Su Zimo had already walked 900 feet away. Logically speaking, his lifespan should have been exhausted and he should have died.

However, he was still advancing step by step towards the center of the hall.

“Could something have happened?”

Ying Tian and the others frowned.

“The Dharmic Dao of the Twilight Drum in the hall must have dissipated!”

That thought flashed through Golden Feather’s mind. Without batting an eyelid, he channeled his movement technique and suddenly sped forward, crossing 100 feet in the blink of an eye.

Dong!

But soon, Golden Feather heard the fourth drumbeat and shuddered. He stopped in his tracks hurriedly with a terrible expression.

He had lost another 40,000 years of lifespan!

Actually, Ying Tian had also deduced that possibility. However, he was extremely cautious and did not act rashly.

Now that he saw Golden Feather’s expression, he realized that the Dharmic Dao of the Twilight Drum was still here and had not vanished.

This meant that there was a high chance that Su Zimo had already comprehended the Dharmic Dao of the sound of the Twilight Drum. That was the reason why he could defend against the impact of the Dharmic Dao!

When he saw that Su Zimo was getting closer to the Supreme Pure Purple Cloud Talisman in the middle of the hall, Ying Tian felt indignant.

But soon, he was relieved and chuckled. “So what if that lad can obtain the Supreme Pure Purple Cloud Talisman? He paid almost 300,000 years of lifespan for it. That price is way too great!”

Lin Luo sneered, “Don’t tell me you think that Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight didn’t leave any way out?”

“What do you mean?”

Ying Tian frowned.

Lin Luo said, “Su Zimo obtained the inheritance of the Twilight Drum’s Dharmic Dao. Do you think that Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight would let his successor die right after the test?”

Right then, Su Zimo had already arrived in the middle of the hall.

He reached out and took the Supreme Pure Purple Cloud Talisman, putting it in his storage bag.

At the same time, he heard a crisp and distant bell sound, as though it came from the end of the sands of time and contained a mysterious and powerful power.

The sound of the bell was completely different from the dreary sounds of the drum earlier on.

The bell was filled with vitality and all living beings were invigorated!

Against the impact of the bell, Su Zimo’s body underwent a tremendous change as well.

The flesh on his body gradually grew and the wrinkles on his face gradually smoothened out. His white hair transformed and turned pitch-black as ink.

He exuded vigor and his figure was tall and straight. His aura was torrential and was even stronger than before!

The lifespan he had just lost had been completely returned!

“Dawn Bell!”

When Ying Tian saw that, he immediately understood what happened to Su Zimo and said word by word.

Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight did not only leave behind the Dharmic Dao of the Twilight Drum in the hall, but the Dawn Bell as well.

However, one could only receive the baptism of the Dawn Bell after comprehending the Twilight Drum!

For example, although Ying Tian, Golden Feather and the others heard the Dawn Bell sound as well, they did not have the chance to endure the baptism of the Dawn Bell Dharmic Dao and the lifespan they lost could not be recovered.

Su Zimo stood in the middle of the hall, receiving the baptism of the two Dharmic Daos, the Dawn Bell and Twilight Drum, in his flesh, tendons, bones and organs.

This was equivalent to obtaining a new life in his twilight years.

In between life and death, under the stimulation of the two extremity powers, the Green Lotus True Body grew rapidly and transformed. The bottleneck that had troubled Su Zimo for a long time had also loosened!

Su Zimo took a deep breath and absorbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

He wanted to make use of this opportunity to break through and advance to the Level 5 Heaven Essence realm!

The moment he did that, a shocking change happened in the entire hall.

Endless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged over from the walls of the hall, almost materializing into streams of air that entered Su Zimo’s body!

Su Zimo’s body seemed to have transformed into a gigantic vortex that devoured the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi wildly.

The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in the hall was way too rich and had far surpassed everyone’s imagination!

“How could this be?”

Golden Feather looked around with a shocked expression.

“I got it.”

Lang Qianqian looked around the hall as though she was enlightened. Suddenly, she said, “The entire Jade Pure Palace was built from gigantic pieces of Essence Spirit Stones!”

Psst!

Ying Tian and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.

The Jade Pure Palace was dozens of feet tall and such a gigantic palace was completely built from Essence Spirit Stones!

In other words, any random stone in the Jade Pure Palace was an Essence Spirit Stone!

The number of Essence Spirit Stones required to build such a palace was uncountable—there might be hundreds of millions or even more!

As a prince and princess, Ying Tian and Lang Qianqian had noble statuses and there was almost no lack of cultivation resources such as Essence Spirit Stones.

However, neither of them had ever seen so many Essence Spirit Stones right in front of them. Furthermore, they were built into a gigantic palace!

Even Perfected Immortals would be tempted by such a palace made of Essence Spirit Stones, let alone Heaven Immortals.

Boom!

Right then, Su Zimo’s Essence Qi was at its peak. He broke through the bottleneck barrier in one go, entering the Level 5 Heaven Essence realm!

A tremendous amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged within his body.

Su Zimo’s aura was also rising rapidly!
