Eternal Sacred King

The Martial Dao Prime Body summoned the Hell Suppression Tripod and smashed it towards the Netherworld Treasure Mirror.

Clang!

There was a loud bang.

The Hell Suppression Tripod collided with the Netherworld Treasure Mirror and a sanguine light appeared on the mirror of the Netherworld Treasure Mirror, emitting an extremely evil and filthy power. Instantly, the Hell Suppression Tripod bounced off and enveloped the Martial Dao Prime Body!

"Hmm?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body's heart skipped a beat.

The evil and filthy power was extremely powerful and even the perfected True Martial Dao Body could not withstand it. The Dharmic Dao runes contained in his bones and body showed signs of dissipating!

To think that the Martial Dao Prime Body would be dragged into danger by the evil ancient mirror before he could encounter any powerful opponents in Frost Springs Hell!

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not have time to think. He summoned his Soul Lantern and released the Martial Spirit Fire, igniting it.

The Soul Lantern burned and was filled with a golden halo, dispelling the evil and filthy power in the surroundings.

The Martial Dao Prime Body wielded the Soul Lantern and placed it beneath the Netherworld Treasure Mirror, burning it with the flames of the Soul Lantern!

"Ah!"

A tragic cry sounded from the Netherworld Treasure Mirror.

Immediately after, the Netherworld Treasure Mirror shuddered and fell from the wound on the palm of the Martial Dao Prime Body, becoming silent once more.

The Martial Dao Prime Body heaved a sigh of relief.

There was a high chance that the reaction of the Netherworld Treasure Mirror was caused by the Weapon Spirit!

The awakening of this Weapon Spirit should have been triggered by the endless Grotto-heaven powers absorbed during the battle in the North Ridge.

After the Weapon Spirit awakened, it made use of the Netherworld Treasure Mirror to devour Essence Blood crazily!

Earlier on, the Weapon Spirit even harbored designs on the Martial Dao Prime Body!

The Soul Lantern possessed an extremely terrifying lethality towards spirit bodies and souls.

Therefore, although the Martial Dao Prime Body could not injure the Netherworld Treasure Mirror after summoning the Soul Lantern, it caused immense damage to the Weapon Spirit!

The Martial Dao Prime Body roasted the Netherworld Treasure Mirror with the Soul Lantern for a while more. The Netherworld Treasure Mirror was silent and did not react anymore.

It was as though the Weapon Spirit had already been destroyed by the Soul Lantern.

The Martial Dao Prime Body extinguished the Soul Lantern and put it away before picking up the Netherworld Treasure Mirror again.

This time round, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

It was as though he had already established a faint connection with the Netherworld Treasure Mirror.

The Martial Dao Prime Body speculated that the appearance of this feeling might be related to the Netherworld Treasure Mirror devouring his bloodline earlier on.

He tried to activate it a few more times but there was no reaction from the Netherworld Treasure Mirror.

Up till now, he still did not know what use the ancient mirror had and how to activate it.

However, this time round, when his spirit consciousness surged into the Netherworld Treasure Mirror, he seemed to have sensed something. With a thought, dense strange runes appeared slowly on the mirror of the Netherworld Treasure Mirror.

"There are words!"

Consort Yu looked at the strange runes on the Netherworld Treasure Mirror and exclaimed softly, "It's the Nether language!"

The Martial Dao Prime Body took a look. The strange runes on the Netherworld Treasure Mirror clearly came from the same source as the words in the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra that the Green Lotus True Body had shown him.

"This is the Nether language?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.

Consort Yu nodded and paused for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't know the details either. However, the living beings of Hell call them Nether language."

"The Nine Springs Hell Sutra is written in such words."

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked again, "Can you understand the Nether language?"

"Yes!"

Consort Yu nodded.

She had transformed in the Hell Frost Springs and stayed in Frost Springs Hell for thousands of years, so she was already proficient in such strange runes.

Consort Yu looked at the strange runes on the Netherworld Treasure Mirror and said excitedly, "This is the general section of the Nine Springs Hell Sutra! Put it away quickly and don't show it to anyone!"

The Martial Dao Prime Body said casually, "It's fine. Take a look as you please."

Consort Yu's heart skipped a beat as she glanced at the Martial Dao Prime Body quickly before retracting her gaze.

The general section could sort out the nine sections of the Hell Sutra and contained the core Dharmic Dao of that secret manual. It's no small deal!

Back then, only the Lord of Hell was in control of the general section.

If the other Hell Lords made great contributions, they could obtain a reward from the Lord of Hell and he would impart a few sentences from the general section to them.

Even so, it was enough for those Hell Lords to benefit endlessly.

But now, the person before her did not hide anything and allowed her to read the secret skill sutra as she pleased!

Consort Yu's heart could not help but stir.

Right then, the Martial Dao Prime Body continued, "After you're done reading, you can explain to me the meaning of the Nether language."

'So that's his intention.'

Consort Yu thought to herself with a look of disappointment.

She abandoned those distracting thoughts and gathered her attention before long to read the general section of the Netherworld Treasure Mirror.

As she read it herself, she explained the Nether language on the Netherworld Treasure Mirror to the Martial Dao Prime Body word by word.

It took Consort Yu an entire night to finish annotating the general section.

This night was a huge drain on her spirit as well!

The Dharmic Dao contained in the general section was indeed incomparably profound. If she wanted to comprehend the essence of it, she would need some time to figure it out.

Of course, this general section allowed her future cultivation path to suddenly become incomparably broad and bright!

If she had the chance in the future to obtain the other eight sections of the Hell Sutra, it would be equivalent to her obtaining the complete Nine Springs Hell Sutra.

The cultivation realm of the Martial Dao Prime Body was even higher. He had read many high-grade cultivation techniques and even a few Taboo Mystic Classics. Given his judgment and talent, he naturally benefited even more overnight!

Initially, he had doubts about whether the Nine Springs Hell Sutra was a Taboo Mystic Classic.

However, after reading the general section, he was almost certain that the Nine Springs Hell Sutra was a Taboo Mystic Classic!

The Dharmic Dao contained in the sutra was exquisite and only Taboo Mystic Classics could reach that level.

In that case, the Lord of Hell of the past should have cultivated to the level of a Great Emperor!

Of course, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not only obtain the general sutra of a Taboo Mystic Classic overnight.

Through Consort Yu's explanation, he understood a lot more about the Nether language.

There were only 600-odd words in the two sections of the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra.

Right now, the Martial Dao Prime Body could already read the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra on his own!

The Martial Dao Prime Body merely browsed through it briefly and felt that the 600-odd words in the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra were even more profound.

Every single word and sentence seemed to contain some maxim of the Great Dao!

If one pondered for a moment, they would be able to comprehend other Dharmic Daos with endless profundities.

The Yin Yang Talisman Sutra seemed to be of a higher level than the Nine Springs Hell Sutra. At the very least, it was a Taboo Mystic Classic as well!

"Right."

As though she had recalled something, Consort Yu said with a grim expression, "If word gets out about today's battle, the experts of the other eight Hells won't sit idly by."

"Yes."

The thoughts of the Martial Dao Prime Body were focused on the two cultivation technique sutras as he replied distractedly.

"In fact, I suspect that the eight Hells will join forces to deal with you!"

Afraid that the Martial Dao Prime Body did not know the pros and cons, Consort Yu continued, "Didn't you see Tang Kong's bitter expression when you made him Hell Lord Frost Springs?"

"He must have realized the consequences of this matter as well. You can't be careless."
