Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 443: Successor of Divine Phoenix Island

Su Zimo’s saber was accompanied by a mighty force that could tear through towering waves, going against the current in a domineering manner as if it could cut through everything and sever all living beings!

That massive force that threatened to tear through the voids attracted countless gazes.

“This is...”

“Saber force!”

Some paragons exclaimed in shock.

The sound of the tide was too clear and its force was way too terrifying such that all the paragons present could recognize it – that slash was already at the second level of saber techniques, force.

However, not all the paragons could identify the origin of that slash.

Only Hang Qiuyu of Sword Sect and Bai Yu of Zenith Sect narrowed their gazes before remarking slowly, “Countercurrent stance of the Sea Calming Manual!”

The moment those words were said, a huge wave of shock swept through the battlefield.

While not everyone was able to recognize the origin of that saber technique, all of them have heard of the Sea Calming Manual.

It was the ultimate technique used by the first Saber Emperor to sweep across the world!

Back in the ancient era, the Saber Emperor left Tianhuang Mainland and traveled overseas.

Right now, in the cultivation world, there was only a single successor of a place that knew of that saber technique.

“Divine Phoenix Island!”

“He’s the successor of Divine Phoenix Island! No wonder he doesn’t dare to reveal his sect badge!”

The major factions of the cultivation world were the nine immortal sects, seven fiend sects, six Buddhist monasteries, five heretical doctrines, four unorthodox groups, three aristocrat families, two islands and one palace.

Among them, the two islands were established overseas and rarely set foot on Tianhuang Mainland. Without much news, they were the most mysterious.

Divine Phoenix Island was one of the two islands.

Due to the relationship between the Saber Emperor and Sword Emperor in the ancient era, the feud between the two super sects, Divine Phoenix Island and Sword Sect, had also existed for a long time.

Each time a successor of Divine Phoenix Island stepped foot onto Tianhuang Mainland, it would naturally cause a huge commotion in the continent and bloodshed as well.

“He’s the successor of Divine Phoenix Island?”

“The last time a successor of Divine Phoenix Island appeared was 10,000 years ago.”

In the distance, the Sealers muttered and frowned slightly.

Everyone had heard the news of the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea disappearing and someone obtaining the inheritance of the Saber Emperor. However, it was impossible for someone to reach the level of ‘force’ within such a short period of time.

The only possibility was if it was the successor of Divine Phoenix Island who had cultivated the Dao of the saber since he was young and immersed himself in the Sea Calming Manual for many years.

On the battlefield, almost all the paragons believed that this burly man in linen clothes came from Divine Phoenix Island.

However, Bai Yu of Zenith Sect had a grim expression and a dark gaze that lingered for a long time on Su Zimo.

He did not know whether the successor of Divine Phoenix Island entered the ancient battlefield.

However, he witnessed another cultivator obtaining the Saber Emperor’s inheritance and releasing Countercurrent in the same way personally!

Be it in terms of appearance, attire, figure or even weapon used, the burly man before him was way too different from that green-robed cultivator.

However, the two of them had similarities as well!

They were both strong in physique and cultivated the Countercurrent force. Furthermore, based on the green-robed cultivator’s cultivation realm back then, it would make sense for him to be at seven meridian Foundation Establishment right now.

Most importantly, the burly man and green-robed cultivator were both related to Demoness Ji!

Before Bai Yu could finish his thought, a change happened on the battlefield.

Monk Jue Chen and Hollow Monastery’s successor endured the greatest pressure faced with Su Zimo’s attack and they were extremely shocked!

By now, it was too late for the both of them to stop.

Clang! Clang!

There were two loud bangs that happened at the same time!

Before Hollow Monastery’s successor could fall from midair, he was knocked flying by a massive force and thrown far away.

His alloy steel rod was sent flying and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell onto the ground. Eyes tightly shut with a pale expression, he had already fainted.

He was severely injured after a single attack!

Yet another paragon had lost the rights to fight.

Monk Jue Chen gripped his Diamond Staff firmly with both hands and used all his strength, channeling the spirit energy in his dantian to its limits. Opening his eyes widely, his blood qi surged and his body was covered with a tough layer as he chanted, “Indestructible diamond!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Even so, he could not stop the massive force and retreated continuously.

With each step, a deep footprint would appear on the ground.

After retreating seven steps, Monk Jue Chen was still unable to steady himself as he fell on his butt with blood oozing from the side of his lips in a pathetic manner.

Compared to Hollow Monastery’s successor, he was only mildly injured and could still fight.

Su Zimo did not stop after forcing back two paragons with a single slash. In a flash, he appeared on another side of the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

Right now, Demoness Ji was in a perilous situation.

She had just defended against Snowdrift Valley’s successor’s flying sword and Clear Heart Nunnery’s nun’s flying sword was arriving.

The angle of that attack was extremely tricky.

It stabbed from the bottom of her waist and curved upwards!

Demoness Ji’s eyes and lips had a layer of frost on them and her movements were sluggish. Just as the sword was about to strike her, a saber beam flashed through the battlefield.

A figure appeared before her.

It was a familiar sight.

Swash!

Su Zimo cut right into the battlefield and raised his saber once more.

Unlike Countercurrent, this attack was extremely soft, as if ripples were forming on the surface of a lake as a shimmering light coiled Clear Heart Nunnery’s nun’s sword inside instantly.

Cling! Clang!

There were a series of collisions.

With each collision, the nun’s face would turn paler.

Sea Calming Manual, Ripple stance.

The Ripple stance was as smooth as water and once released, it would attack relentlessly until...

Another saber beam flashed.

The sword in the hands of the nun was repelled and her exposed chest was met with a slash.

Poof!

Flashes of blood appeared.

“Ah!”

Exclaiming, the nun staggered in retreat as a bloodied wound appeared on her chest with blood flowing out.

It was lucky that she had crushed a protection talisman earlier on or that slash would have cut her into two!

Another paragon was forced out of the fight.

Pshew!

The sound of a sharp blade tearing through the air was chilling.

Slashing in reverse, Su Zimo struck the incoming flying sword and a layer of frost appeared on his saber.

At the same time, the voice of Snowdrift Valley’s successor sounded.

“Frost Seal!”

A cold wind that seeped into one’s bones struck Su Zimo and he felt as though someone had poured a basin of cold water from above.

Under the watchful gazes of many, a thick layer of ice could be seen forming on Su Zimo’s body in a visible speed. Starting from his head, it spread gradually and covered his entire body.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo was motionless as he maintained his previous saber stance with a frozen expression – he had turned into a life-like ice sculpture.

At the sight of that, some paragons heaved a sigh of relief.

The strength that Su Zimo displayed was way too terrifying. Furthermore, it was so overwhelming that three paragons had fallen in his hands.

Of the many paragons present, no one had absolute confidence of suppressing him.

“Good move, Fellow Daoist Ling Han! It’s no wonder why you’re the successor of Snowdrift Valley.”

“Amazing, to think that you froze the successor of Divine Phoenix Island instantly with a single Frost Seal!”

Some paragons praised one after another.

Demoness Ji’s heart sank as endless worry surged in her eyes. Without even purging away the frost qi within her, she shivered and wanted to head forth to rescue Su Zimo.

“It’s too late,”

Ling Han, the successor of Snowdrift Valley, descended from the skies with her white robes fluttering. She declared coldly with a haughty expression, “That’s Snowdrift Valley’s secret skill. Anyone that’s struck by it will have their bloodlines and spirit energy frozen and they’ll die within ten breaths!”

“Is that so?”

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded from the battlefield.
