Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 1958

Chapter 1958: Startling Evil Spear

Translator: Legge 

The pagoda of this Perfected Immortal expert was a Five Tribulations Spirit Treasure. Although its grade was not high, it could not be shattered casually!

Even Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s ancient bronze mirror could not shatter his spirit treasure.

But now, the battered and unassuming Bronze Tripod had shattered his pagoda!

What was even more frightening was that many Perfected Immortals could clearly see that there was no light shining from the Bronze Tripod nor was there any augmentation of True Essence.

The reason why the Thunder Emperor could shatter the pagoda was entirely because of his own strength and the toughness of the Bronze Tripod!

It was understandable why the Thunder Emperor was so strong.

However, what was the background of this Bronze Tripod?

Just as the Perfected Immortals were shocked, the Thunder Emperor seized the opportunity and strode towards the center of the city!

“Where are you headed to?!”

An old man opposite him raised his gigantic axe and channeled his blood qi. With a leap, he slashed down towards the Thunder Emperor with a torrential aura!

The old man specialized in body tempering to begin with.

Even though he was already in his later years, his blood qi was still extremely strong. He raised his gigantic axe and released a surging power!

“Get lost!”

The Thunder Emperor did not dodge or avoid and hollered. Without any unnecessary movements, he raised the tripod and smashed it.

Clang!

The gigantic axe and Hell Suppression Tripod collided and the entire Absolute Thunder City trembled, rendering the world silent!

The next moment, the old man cried out in pain. His palm was torn and fresh blood dripped. The gigantic axe in his hands was sent flying by the Hell Suppression Tripod and smashed into the crowd.

A few Earth Immortals could not dodge in time and were split into two, dying on the spot!

The Thunder Emperor carried the Hell Suppression Tripod and seized the opportunity to charge out of the encirclement.

“Hurry, stop him!”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue urged hurriedly and moved with the other ten Perfected Immortals, forming another encirclement towards the Thunder Emperor.

However, they had not walked far when they realized that the Thunder Emperor had not escaped at all!

The Thunder Emperor came to a stop in the middle of Absolute Thunder City.

“Hmph!”

A Perfected Immortal expert sneered, “Feng Cantian, you won’t be able to obtain the nourishment of thunder in Absolute Thunder City. Let’s see how much longer you can last!”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and the others knew what happened in the exchange earlier on.

Although the Thunder Emperor managed to break out of their encirclement with the help of the Bronze Tripod and even shattered a pagoda, his strength was not enough to threaten everyone!

“Fufufufu!”

Suddenly, the Thunder Emperor laughed.

“Hahahaha!”

Towards the end of his laughter, the Thunder Emperor’s voice became louder and louder, reverberating through the ancient city like divine thunder!

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and the others even felt their ears hurt!

The Thunder Emperor’s gaze swept past Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and the others before landing on the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar. “Sima, you probably never expected that I would be able to escape one day.”

“That’s why you were fearless enough to seal the Startling Evil Spear with secret runes to create this Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar.”

“Startling Evil Spear!”

Prince Yuan Zuo could not help but ask, “What Startling Evil Spear?!”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and the others had grim expressions.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the Thunder Emperor and King Jin were fighting, Prince Yuan Zuo was not born yet. Naturally, he did not know that the Startling Evil Spear was the weapon that made the Thunder Emperor famous in the past!

The Startling Evil Spear could absorb the thunder of Heaven and Earth and was the most effective against evil.

The moment the Startling Evil Spear appeared, all evil beings in the world would be purged!

Indeed, King Jin’s Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar was created using an extraterritorial divine stone. However, the Thunder Emperor’s weapon, the Startling Evil Spear, was sealed within!

The Startling Evil Spear was a Nine Tribulations Pure Yang Spirit Treasure and the Weapon Spirit within was ferocious and unyielding.

Initially, King Jin wanted to destroy it. However, he changed his mind and decided to seal it within the stone pillar.

He wanted to make it impossible for the Thunder Emperor and the Startling Evil Spear to make a comeback!

That seal lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.

Apart from severing the power of thunder outside the ancient city, there was another meaning to Absolute Thunder—it meant severing the power of thunder in the Startling Evil Spear!

Any power of thunder would be absorbed by the runes on the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar.

That was the reason why the Thunder Emperor could not destroy the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar earlier on.

However, the moment the Thunder Emperor made contact with the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar, he felt a familiar aura.

He knew that his old friend who had fought alongside him for many years was in this Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar!

While the power of thunder could not shake the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar, the Hell Suppression Tripod could!

Initially, the Thunder Emperor thought that the Bronze Tripod was not a rare item as well.

However, in the Ten Absolute Formation, when he saw the Weapon Spirit of the Bronze Tripod fighting against the Execution Saber, he gradually recalled the origin of the tripod.

This was a Great Emperor weapon from an ancient era!

With that Great Emperor weapon in hand, even if it was incomplete, it was enough to shatter the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar!

The Thunder Emperor reached out and caressed the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar gently, murmuring, “Old friend, you’ve been suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s time for you to be reborn!”

“Hurry, stop him from attacking!”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue realized something and his expression changed as he shouted.

The other Perfected Immortal experts attacked hurriedly.

Many spirit treasures, divine powers and secret skills rained down on the Thunder Emperor, as though they wanted to drown him!

The Thunder Emperor ignored it and raised his arm, swinging the Hell Suppression Tripod. He channeled all his strength and smashed it towards the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar!

Boom!

The Hell Suppression Tripod smashed onto the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar while many spirit treasures, divine powers and secret skills smashed onto the Thunder Emperor.

Two loud bangs sounded at almost the same time.

A gigantic pit appeared beside the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar. The Thunder Emperor sprawled inside quietly and motionlessly, his fate unknown.

“Is he dead?”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and the others exchanged glances, feeling uneasy.

Under normal circumstances, the combined power of 11 Perfected Immortals was enough to kill any Perfected Immortal!

However, that was the Thunder Emperor.

He was once the Supreme Perfected Immortal!

Even after being suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years, he was still a peerless expert with boundless pride after escaping!

Would that person die just like that?

Nobody knew.

Just as everyone was pondering, a strange sound came from the center of the ancient city, as though something had cracked!

The gazes of Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and the others shifted slowly and landed on the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar.

Everyone’s pupils constricted gradually!

Their eyesight was shocking and they could naturally see that thin cracks had already appeared on the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar!

The cracks were gradually expanding and spreading!

“It’s shattered,”

A Perfected Immortal expert murmured softly, as though he had lost his soul.

The Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar was shattered!

The shattering of the Absolute Thunder Divine Pillar meant that no one and no power could stop the power of thunder from descending upon the ancient city!

Many Perfected Immortals had ugly expressions.

The initially dispersed dark clouds above Absolute Thunder City gathered once more and rumbled. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, emitting a terrifying might that caused one’s heart to tremble, as though a calamity could descend at any moment!

“Your Highness, run!”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue sent a voice transmission hurriedly.

Without waiting for Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s reminder, Prince Yuan Zuo had already realized that something was amiss and retreated silently.

In the chaos, Tang Ziyi noticed this and followed expressionlessly.
