Eternal Sacred King



Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before victory was decided between the four of them, the door to another hall opened not far away.

Su Zimo had already obtained the Bodhi Seed and killed the blue-robed boy to retrieve his storage bag. He had benefited immensely and there was no need for him to get entangled with Ying Tian and Lang Qianqian here.

"Let's leave first!"

He sent a voice transmission to Lin Luo's spirit consciousness and glanced at the hall not far away.

It was clear that the Immortal Emperor of the past had left much more treasures than these in the Jade Pure Palace. At the very least, there were no clues to the Jade Pure Jade Manual in the few halls right now.

Lin Luo was quick to react.

Although Su Zimo did not explain anything, she reacted immediately and charged towards the hall not far away without fighting.

Apart from the Bodhi seed, there were eight other treasures in the hall.

Although the eight treasures could not compare to the Bodhi Seed, they were still rare treasures.

However, Su Zimo and Lin Luo had even greater ambitions. They abandoned the eight treasures and headed to the next hall!

Unexpectedly, the next hall should still contain mystical treasures left behind by the Immortal Emperor!

Ying Tian and Lang Qianqian were stunned for a moment. They looked at the eight balls of light floating around the hall and hesitated.

Given their combat strength, no one would be able to stop them if they obtained the eight treasures—Golden Feather and Nie Hun were of no threat to them at all!

However, the eight treasures were scattered all over the hall and it would definitely take some time to collect them.

Su Zimo and Lin Luo had already seized the initiative to charge into the next hall.

If they wasted time on the eight treasures, there was a high chance that Su Zimo and Lin Luo would take the treasures in the next hall for themselves.

If the final Jade Pure Jade Manual was among the treasures in the next hall, they would suffer a huge loss!

At that thought, Ying Tian moved and ignored the eight treasures in the hall, chasing after Su Zimo and Lin Luo at full speed.

Lang Qianqian could also weigh the pros and cons of this and made a decision quickly. She sped forward and followed closely behind Ying Tian.

With that, Nie Hun and Golden Feather benefited instead.

The two of them exchanged glances and moved immediately, charging towards the treasures in the hall.

…

Su Zimo and Lin Luo rushed into the hall. They were slightly surprised at what they saw.

The hall was extremely spacious and a mere glance could be seen. In the middle of the hall hovered a talisman that emitted a purple glow.

Unlike the previous few halls, apart from this talisman, there was nothing else here.

In the face of the talisman that was less than the size of a palm, Su Zimo and Lin Luo's Essence Spirits felt an irresistible pressure!

One could imagine how precious this talisman was for the Immortal Emperor to place it in this hall alone!

Unexpectedly, this talisman was at least a king-grade talisman and might even be at the Emperor-grade!

"Supreme Pure Purple Cloud Talisman!"

Right then, Ying Tian's voice sounded behind them.

Ying Tian and Lang Qianqian had already arrived!

"So, it's that talisman. It's no wonder why it has such an impact on the Essence Spirit!"

Lin Luo murmured softly.

Thereafter, when she saw Su Zimo's puzzled expression, she explained softly, "Back then, this Immortal Emperor was also a Talisman Grandmaster. He condensed the Dharmic Dao of the Supreme Pure Jade Manual onto a talisman. It's a killing talisman specifically targeted at Essence Spirits and is extremely terrifying!"

"In the past, countless Kings died to this Supreme Pure Purple Cloud Talisman. I heard that even the Essence Spirits of Emperors could not withstand it and were severely injured!"

Su Zimo was secretly alarmed.

It was a killing weapon that could kill Immortal Kings and even severely injure Emperors!

Of course, one's cultivation had to reach a certain realm to release an immortal talisman of this level.

If everyone present obtained this immortal talisman, they would not be able to activate it even if they released it forcefully.

Before they could kill their foes, their Essence Spirits would not be able to withstand it and would collapse on the spot, killing themselves!

Even so, the Supreme Pure Purple Cloud Talisman was a priceless treasure.

Almost at the same time, Su Zimo, Lin Luo, Ying Tian and Lang Qianqian moved and charged towards the center of the hall.

Everyone was less than a thousand feet away from the center of the hall and could arrive in the blink of an eye.

Dong!

Before everyone could charge far, the sound of a drum rumbled.

The sound of the drum appeared extremely suddenly and reverberated through the empty hall. The lingering sound lingered endlessly.

The four of them paused in their tracks at almost the same time.

They had grim expressions as they sensed the changes in their bodies carefully.

"My lifespan decreased by 10,000 years?"

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

The sound of the drum resembled his Time Is Like a Saber.

However, the power produced did not seem obvious and was still within his tolerance.

Su Zimo swept his gaze and judged from the expressions of Lin Luo and the other two that their lifespans should have decreased due to the impact of the drumbeat as well.

"It should be the sound of the Twilight Drum."

Lin Luo whispered.

Su Zimo asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Luo explained, "The Dao title of this Immortal Emperor is Dawn Twilight because he possesses two Emperor weapons, the Dawn Bell and Twilight Drum."

"Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight had extremely deep attainments in the Dao of time. Furthermore, he fused it into his sound domain and created the supreme power, Bell Drum Harmonization, back when he was a Heaven Immortal."

"The sound of the bell could reverse time while the sound of the drum could cost time to be lost. Our lifespans decreased when we heard the sound of the drum earlier on. That should be caused by the Dharmic Dao of the Twilight Drum."

Suddenly, Su Zimo was enlightened.

In that case, the sound of the Twilight Drum was indeed similar to his time divine powers.

However, the power of the Twilight Drum did not seem to be comparable to Time Is Like a Saber, let alone Fleeting Moment.

At that moment, the drumbeat had already vanished but everyone's lifespan that was reduced earlier on had vanished completely without recovering.

"So, the test of this place is the Twilight Drum?"

Ying Tian smirked confidently and declared proudly, "Watch me dispel the sound of the Twilight Drum!"

Before his sentence was finished, Ying Tian charged towards the center of the hall once more.

Ying Tian released his divine powers and secret skills as he advanced. In the blink of an eye, he crossed 100 feet.

Dong!

Indeed.

A second drumbeat sounded.

Ying Tian stopped in his tracks and frowned.

Apart from Ying Tian, Su Zimo and the other two did not hear the sound of the drum.

However, when Su Zimo and the other two moved and continued forward, they heard the second drumbeat at the same time.

During this process, Su Zimo, Lin Luo and Lang Qianqian released their divine powers and secret skills to defend against the sound of the drums.

In fact, Su Zimo even secretly released Fleeting Moment!

However, his lifespan decreased once more when he heard the second drumbeat.

This time round, it was reduced by 20,000 years.

The lifespan of a Heaven Immortal was more than 300,000 years; a reduction of 10,000 or 20,000 years was not much of a threat to Su Zimo and the others.

However, the sound of the Twilight Drum could ignore the divine powers and secret skills of the four of them and augment them, reducing their lifespans—that was truly strange.

"Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight, if you want me to retreat just because of this, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you!"

Suddenly, Ying Tian burst into laughter in a heroic manner. "It's fine to lose this bit of lifespan. I can still afford it!"

With that said, he moved once more and sped forward.

Dong!

A third drumbeat sounded.

Ying Tian shuddered and stopped in his tracks once more. The smile from earlier on had long vanished and his gaze flickered. His expression was dark and ugly.
