Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 1018: Shocking the World!

The lightning pool hovered above the firmaments. It was initially calm without any ripples.

However, the moment Su Zimo stepped into the lightning domain, the lightning pool seemed to have been triggered by something. Instantly, waves surged violently with a terrifying might!

Bang! Boom! Boom!

Thunder rumbled in a depressing manner.

All of a sudden!

Lightning flashed in a bedazzling manner as a gigantic thunderbolt appeared in the void and struck Su Zimo!

Bang!

Su Zimo was sent flying by the thunderbolt and somersaulted in midair before landing on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The pain was indescribable.

Su Zimo felt that he could disintegrate at any moment under the lightning pool!

A sense of fear grew.

However, it was suppressed by Su Zimo’s Dao heart instantly!

Su Zimo stood up and grit his teeth, continuing forward!

Snap!

Thunder boomed.

A scarlet thunderbolt struck Su Zimo’s head, almost knocking him unconscious.

His body was already in tatters after the two tribulations of wind and fire.

Now that he was struck by two thunderbolts, his lifeforce was draining bit by bit.

If he continued, he would truly die!

For the first time, Su Zimo looked lost as he gazed at the endless lightning domain before him.

Should he continue?

How about ending it here?

The moment that thought crossed his mind, it enlarged endlessly.

In Su Zimo’s mind, it was as though this voice sounded from every single corner, telling him to turn back and stop advancing!

If he persisted, he would die!

Right then, countless inheritances outside the Three Tribulations Domain moved and released legacy phenomenons.

The light of the legacy phenomenons shone on the Three Tribulations Domain and enveloped Su Zimo!

There were inheritances of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects – everything!

At that moment, as long as he gave up and nodded, he could choose one of the inheritances and leave the Three Tribulations Domain!

He no longer had to endure the pain and the threat of death.

In fact, even the inheritances outside the Three Tribulations Domain were very powerful!

They were not necessarily weaker than the inheritance within the Three Tribulations Domain.

The legacy of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was outside.

The inheritance of the fiend sect, Pure Maiden Sect, was also outside.

Throughout history, no one had been able to clear the Three Tribulations Domain!

Why should he be stubborn?

Perhaps the legend of the Three Tribulations Domain was just a scam.

There might be nothing within the Three Tribulations Domain even if he cleared it!

Lin Xuanji’s master had once said that he would encounter a great calamity.

The lightning tribulation before him might be that great calamity!

As long as he retreated, he would be able to avoid this calamity.

Countless thoughts appeared in Su Zimo’s mind.

He wavered!

For a moment, he almost nodded and chose an inheritance to leave this damn place!

However, he did not in the end.

Su Zimo stood motionlessly in the lightning domain.

As long as he stopped on the spot and did not advance, the lightning tribulation would not descend.

Time passed by slowly.

Su Zimo lowered his head slightly and the confusion in his eyes disappeared.

Although his body was already battered, his eyes shone brighter and brighter with a determined gaze!

All of a sudden!

Su Zimo moved and took another step forward!

Boom!

The lightning tribulation descended!

“Pfft!”

Su Zimo was almost sprawled on the ground from the attack and his lifeforce became even weaker. However, he struggled to stand up and continued forward!

Boom!

After being struck by the lightning tribulation, he stood up and continued forward!

It was a cycle!

Su Zimo’s initially wavering heart became firmer and firmer.

The wind and fire both failed and now, even the lightning tribulation that could destroy all beings could not cause his Dao heart to waver!

He wanted to clear the Three Tribulations Domain not only for the inheritance within, but also to establish his own Dao heart!

His Dao could only persist forward – there was no way back!

Every single lightning tribulation made Su Zimo feel the deep fear of death.

However, he did not retreat!

Relying on his strong willpower and determination towards his Dao heart, Su Zimo stood up time and again after he was struck down!

Above his head, the lightning pool surged as though it had transformed into pairs of eyes that were looking down at the stumbling figure.

Finally.

Suddenly, a dignified voice sounded within the lightning domain.

“Why do you cultivate?”

“I want to establish a Dao!”

Raising his head, Su Zimo said word by word with a bright gaze, “This Dao will be different from the immortal, Buddhist and fiend Daos!”

“What Dao will it be?”

The dignified voice asked emotionlessly.

“I call it the martial Dao!”

“Why the martial Dao?”

“The martial Dao pushes one to advance courageously!”

After saying that, Su Zimo suddenly took a step forward!

“The martial Dao refers to one’s true heart!”

He took another step forward!

“The martial Dao allows one to take revenge and repay gratitude as they wish!”

Another step forward!

With every sentence, Su Zimo took a step forward.

With every step he took, his aura would increase and his Dao heart would become stronger and unshakable!

“The martial Dao allows one to be decisive in killing!”

“The martial Dao is about not yielding and resisting!”

“The martial Dao is the boldness of going against ten million people!”

“The martial Dao is the courage to take on immortals and fiends; the courage to fight against the heavens for one’s fate!”

“My Dao title shall be Desolate Martial. I’m willing to create a martial Dao and break the shackles of all living beings so that all living beings in the world can cultivate and become immortals!”

The Desolate word of the Dao title came from the name of Tianhuang Mainland[1] as well as the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness[2].

The meaning of martial came from the martial Dao itself!

Su Zimo’s final sentence caused the lightning pool to boil instantly, creating huge waves as though it was greatly shaken!

The dignified voice from the beginning sounded once more, shaking the world. “Desolate Martial wishes to establish a Dao and impart martial to all living beings! Desolate Martial wishes to establish a Dao and impart martial to all living beings!”

...

Middle Continent, Hundred Refinement Sect.

Extreme Fire and the others were in the main hall, listening to the news from a disciple.

“The current situation is still unclear. Di Yin and the other six titular disciples have entered the Three Tribulations Domain and have already come out. However, there’s still no news of Granduncle-Master.”

The Hundred Refinement Sect cultivator said.

Extreme Fire and the others exchanged glances and could see the worry in each other’s eyes.

Throughout history, no one had been able to pass through the Three Tribulations Domain.

They were afraid that Su Zimo had barged into the Three Tribulations Domain with nothing but impulse and might end up dying.

Right then, a dignified voice echoed in the skies above Tianhuang Mainland, spreading to every single corner of Tianhuang Mainland!

“Desolate Martial wishes to establish a Dao and impart martial to all living beings!”

“Desolate Martial wishes to establish a Dao and impart martial to all living beings!””

“Desolate Martial wishes to establish a Dao and impart martial to all living beings!””

Those 14 words were shouted thrice!

Each repetition was louder than the previous and was deafening!

Extreme Fire was emotional as he looked up at the firmaments. His body trembled uncontrollably as he exclaimed in ecstasy, “It’s Zimo! Zimo has established his Dao heart!”

At the same time, a black-robed cultivator broke out of his cave abode with a blood-colored saber in his hands. Standing in midair, he looked into the distance and murmured with a moved expression, “Desolate Martial, Desolate Martial... Zimo, are you going to establish your martial Dao?”

Previously, when Ming Zhen obtained the inheritance of Ksitigarbha, it caused a stir in Tianhuang Mainland as well.

However, that sound was extremely faint and it only rang once. Apart from cultivators, no one else noticed it.

However, this time round, Desolate Martial’s martial Dao shocked the world!

The nine immortal sects, eight demon races, seven fiend sects, six Buddhist monasteries, five heretical doctrines, four unorthodox groups as well as countless aristocratic families were shocked!

Many experts in seclusion were alarmed and came out one after another!
