Chapter 1962: King Tianxing
Translator: Legge
Su Zimo looked at the ruins of Absolute Thunder City and lamented internally.
There were still many spirit treasure shards left in the ruins, most of them shattered by the Startling Evil Spear.
While those spirit treasure shards were useless to others, they were extremely useful to the h.e.l.l Suppression Tripod.
If he could devour it, he might be able to repair the third tripod wall.
However, Su Zimo weighed the pros and cons and gave up on that thought.
!!
Although the temptation was great, it was way too dangerous.
There was no need to take the risk at such a sensitive and chaotic time—there would be other chances in the future.
Su Zimo blended into the crowd and headed into the distance.
He did not dare to walk too quickly lest he attracted attention.
Suddenly!
An extremely terrifying aura descended from the skies with a rampant might. The entire world seemed to be overwhelmed and trembled slightly!
That aura was much stronger than the Thunder Emperor, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and the others!
Everyone was shocked and looked up.
The clouds in the firmaments changed and a void suddenly collapsed towards the middle, forming a gigantic pitch-black vortex.
In the pitch-black vortex, a figure appeared faintly with a murderous aura that was sinister!
Many Black Immortals could not withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground with pale expressions, keeping mum out of fear.
Immortal King!
Only an Immortal King could release such a terrifying aura and might.
The cultivators below even had a feeling that the figure in the firmaments could kill them all with a single breath!
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze slightly and looked at the high and mighty figure in the firmaments.
This was an Immortal King!
Given his current cultivation, this was a terrifying existence that could not be reached!
If he wanted to take revenge on King Yun You, he had to reach that realm!
“Greetings, King Tianxing!”
When Perfected Immortal Jing Yue saw that person, he knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed with a terrified expression. “The sinner of the lower worlds escaped from Absolute Thunder City. I’m unforgivable. Please punish me, King Tianxing.”
“Get up first,”
A voice sounded from the pitch-black vortex, resolute as metal and stone.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue stood up hurriedly.
“What happened?”
King Tianxing continued asking.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue recounted everything that happened in Absolute Thunder City today in detail without hiding anything.
“Someone helped him,”
After hearing that, King Tianxing said three words.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue shuddered in fear and knelt down once more. “Immortal King, I truly didn’t know or discover anyone who helped Feng Cantian escape.”
Others might not have such a deep understanding of the Ten Absolute Formation.
However, King Tianxing knew that without the help of outsiders, there was no way the Thunder Emperor could break free on his own!
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue continued, “I’ll order for all the cultivators in the city to be imprisoned and interrogated one by one!”
“There’s no need,”
King Tianxing said indifferently, “If that person helped, he would have left a long time ago. How could he still stay here?”
“Furthermore, anyone who can pull out my Execution Saber is at least a Perfected Immortal. Apart from you, there are no other Perfected Immortals here.”
How strong was King Tianxing’s spirit consciousness?
With a gentle sweep, he enveloped a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers around Absolute Thunder City—no living being could escape his senses!
Su Zimo lowered his head and no longer looked at King Tianxing lest he attracted attention.
“He was injured by my Execution Saber and can’t run. Even if he can escape, I can capture him back!”
King Tianxing harrumphed.
“Jing Yue, you didn’t manage to handle the Ice b.u.t.terfly incident in Green Cloud County properly. Now, something like this has happened,”
King Tianxing’s tone was cold as a blade, making one shudder.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was drenched in sweat as he lowered his head hurriedly. “I deserve to die. Please spare my life, King Tianxing.”
There was no sound from the pitch-black vortex for a long time.
This period of silence felt like years to Perfected Immortal Jing Yue!
A long time later, King Tianxing’s voice sounded once more, “Although you’re in Absolute Thunder City, you failed to stop Feng Cantian. While you can avoid death, you can’t escape punishment!”
The moment he said that, a golden light burst forth from the pitch-black vortex and descended on Perfected Immortal Jing Yue instantly!
Pfft!
A blood light flashed!
One of Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s arms was severed by the golden light and blood gushed out from the wound!
“I’ll sever your arm for the time being today. Your arm will only recover after that sinner is captured again,”
King Tianxing said indifferently.
“Thank you for not killing me, King Tianxing,”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was sweating from the pain but he still kowtowed in grat.i.tude.
King Tianxing was in charge of the punishment and killing in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom—the loss of a single arm today was already considered mercy.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Perfected Immortal experts could regrow severed limbs with a single thought.
However, there was a faint golden light covering the wound on Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s broken arm.
That was the power of King Tianxing.
As long as the golden light was around, his broken arm would never grow again!
Furthermore, even if he could regrow his arm, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue did not have the guts.
When he saw that, Su Zimo felt emotional.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was a County Governor.
Be it in terms of strength, status or reputation, he was in the upper echelons of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
However, in front of King Tianxing, a single sentence could determine his fate!
This was the cruelty of the upper world.
Even Perfected Immortal experts could not withstand a single blow from an Immortal King.
If that was the case for Perfected Immortal Jing Yue today, it was even worse for the Thunder Emperor in the past!
A moment later, the pitch-black vortex in the firmaments gradually closed and the figure within vanished as well.
The shuddering aura gradually dissipated.
Many cultivators heaved a sigh of relief.
When King Tianxing appeared earlier on, everyone felt as though a cold guillotine was hovering above their heads and could slash down at any moment!
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue waited for King Tianxing to leave before standing up. He looked at the many City Lords and Exalted Immortals not far away and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, you can return now. Gather everyone and search for Feng Cantian with all your might! Don’t let go of any clues!”
“Understood!”
Many City Lords and Exalted Immortals replied hurriedly and dispersed.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue pondered for a moment and tidied up the battlefield before leaving the ruins of Absolute Thunder City.
Su Zimo was secretly worried.
It could be predicted that after today, all the immortal soldiers guarding the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom would be mobilized and martial law would be imposed everywhere to search for anyone suspicious!
He did not know if Senior Thunder Emperor could escape the pursuit of the entire Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
Su Zimo took a deep breath and suppressed his worries for the time being.
Given his current cultivation, he could not help much even if he wanted to.
Right now, the most important thing for him was to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the Earth Essence realm as soon as possible!
This time round, he had benefited quite a bit from the Ten Absolute Formation.
If he could comprehend something in seclusion, he might have a chance of becoming an Earth Immortal within a hundred years!
Just as Su Zimo was pondering, a warning flashed in his mind!
