Eternal Sacred King

2578 Impermanence of Life and Death

“Hmph!”

Yun Ting was a little displeased when he saw that Su Zimo refused to admit defeat.

He was giving Su Zimo a way out on account of his sister. To think that Su Zimo would be so tactless!

Since that was the case, he was going to teach Su Zimo a lesson instead!

“Slash!”

Yun Ting’s spirit consciousness moved and he pointed in Su Zimo’s direction. The Immortal Vanquishing Sword behind him transformed into a blood beam and slashed forward.

Su Zimo’s expression was calm. He did not dodge or avoid and his hands shifted continuously.

“Everything is impermanent, this is the law of arising and passing away…”

Su Zimo murmured a few obscure sutras and released an incomparably divine Dharmic seal that was filled with Buddhist light.

It was one of the three secret skills of the Taboo Mystic Classic, Prajna Nirvana Sutra, Impermanence Seal!

Everything in the world was impermanent and cycled through life, residency, dissonance and destruction.

Be it the divine powers, secret skills or Bloodline Phenomenon released by Yun Ting, they were categorized under ‘everything’.

Everything was impermanent.

The moment the Impermanence Seal collided with Yun Ting’s Bloodline Phenomenon, the life and death of the Immortal Vanquishing Sword could be decided with a single thought!

The Impermanence Seal came from a true Taboo Mystic Classic and was one of the three major Dharmic seals of the Buddhist monasteries!

There were also records of the remaining two Dharmic seals of the Buddhist monasteries, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra.

However, given Su Zimo’s current cultivation realm and comprehension of Buddhism, he could not comprehend it even with the Bodhi Seed.

The remaining two Dharmic seals were of a higher level and he could not come into contact with them yet.

Phew!

The Immortal Vanquishing Sword slashed down and collided with the Impermanence Seal. Under countless gazes, the blood-colored sword dissipated instantly and disappeared before long!

The entire Divine Firmament Hall was in an uproar!

Yun Ting’s Bloodline Phenomenon phenomenon had just destroyed two of Su Zimo’s divine powers and secret skills with such dominance and ease.

To think that it would be resolved by a mysterious Dharmic seal.

Yun Zhu’s expression changed in deep thought.

She knew that Su Zimo had once obtained the Hell Suppression Tripod and cultivated the Prajna Nirvana Sutra.

She also knew that there were three major Dharmic seals of the Buddhist monasteries in the Taboo Mystic Classic.

“This should be the Impermanence Seal. As expected of a Taboo Mystic Classic.”

Yun Zhu nodded to herself.

If Yun Ting’s Bloodline Phenomenon had reached the level of an actual peerless divine power, it would be difficult for the Impermanence Seal to dispel it.

Unfortunately, Yun Ting had not seen the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts.

That Bloodline Phenomenon merely touched the threshold of a peerless divine power, but it was still not an actual peerless divine power at the end of the day!

“Mmm?”

On the gigantic stone battlefield, Yun Ting frowned.

Back in the fight for the Earth Ranking, he had seen Su Zimo release this Dharmic seal of the Buddhist monasteries to neutralize Feng Yin’s divine power. However, he did not take it to heart.

To think that this Dharmic seal of the Buddhist monasteries could neutralize his Bloodline Phenomenon!

“You!”

Yun Ting was enraged.

He had just said a lot of things because he thought that victory was within his grasp. To think that the situation would change in the blink of an eye and he felt his face heat up.

“Good, good, good!”

Yun Ting harrumphed coldly and grit his teeth. “Since you refuse to admit defeat, I won’t hold back either. I’ll let you witness my true trump card!”

Buzz!

Yun Ting’s spirit consciousness moved and a long sword that flashed with lightning appeared in his palm.

The sword was surrounded by lightning but it could not conceal the sharpness it emitted. It was extremely sharp and as it buzzed and trembled, Su Zimo felt a slight pain on his face!

“The name of this sword is Divine Firmament. It has followed me for many years and has never tasted defeat!”

Yun Ting named his personal sword Divine Firmament—it was enough to see his ambition and boldness!

“Divine Firmament. Back then, I accidentally entered an ancient ruin and barged into a sea of lightning. I obtained a divine stone and smelted it for 49 years before obtaining this sword.”

Su Zimo focused his gaze.

There were a few faint lightning burn marks on the Divine Firmament Sword that were extremely similar to the sentient Dharmic treasures used by Perfected Immortal experts.

Under normal circumstances, only when cultivators advance to the Perfected One realm and attract the Perfected One Heavenly Tribulation to refine their Dharmic treasures, their Dharmic treasures could nurture sentience and intelligence, transforming into sentient Dharmic treasures.

There would also be a few lightning burn marks on the sentient Dharmic treasures.

If a Nine of Nine Heavenly Tribulation was attracted and the Dharmic treasure did not shatter even after experiencing it, it would be called a Nine Tribulations Spirit Treasure, also known as a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure.

Yun Ting’s sword was nurtured in the sea of lightning to begin with.

When the Divine Firmament Sword attained greater mastery, it carried burn marks and possessed spirit consciousness that was comparable to sentient Dharmic treasures!

That was also the reason why the Green Lotus True Body could feel a sharpness and a faint pain before he even made contact with the Divine Firmament Sword.

The Divine Firmament Sword was indeed a rare divine weapon and even the Green Lotus True Body could not take it head-on with his body!

However, Su Zimo had a calm expression.

He had many Dharmic treasures on him as well and they were definitely not weaker than the Divine Firmament Sword!

“You should understand that my greatest reliance is the Sword Dao.”

Yun Ting wielded the Divine Firmament Sword and his finger sword landed gently on the sword’s spine. Rubbing it slowly, he said proudly, “Initially, I did not want to summon the Divine Firmament Sword. However, since you and I have fought to this point, fine. I’ll let you have a taste of the sharpness of the Divine Firmament Sword!”

The moment he said that, Yun Ting flicked his sword gently.

Clang! Clang!

The Divine Firmament Sword buzzed and trembled. Sword qi intensified and its body shone with crackling electric arcs. Instantly, it vanished from the spot and stabbed towards Su Zimo!

The speed of the Divine Firmament Sword was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye!

Apart from killing, the speed of the Sword Dao was also top-tier among the many Dharmic Daos.

On the Divine Firmament Sword, there was the speed of the Sword Dao as well as the augmentation of the Thunder Dao. With the might of thunder, it became even faster!

The moment the sword hum sounded, the Divine Firmament Sword had already arrived before Su Zimo.

Yun Ting’s figure seemed to have vanished.

Even most of the cultivators watching could not catch sight of Yun Ting, let alone Su Zimo who was standing opposite him.

Yun Ting had already fused perfectly with the Divine Firmament Sword.

He followed the sword and became one with it!

Even spirit consciousnesses would have difficulty detecting Yun Ting, let alone the naked eye.

Yun Ting’s Sword Dao was indeed terrifying!

If it was anyone else, they would not have been able to defend against that sword strike.

However, Su Zimo’s reaction was extremely fast. He blocked his five senses and retracted his spirit consciousness immediately, merely relying on his spirit perception to sense where the danger was!

Clang!

Suddenly, a green glow flew out from Su Zimo’s glabella.

An Auspicious Jade flew out and did not clash head-on with the sharpness of the Divine Firmament Sword. Instead, it struck the spine of the Divine Firmament Sword with extreme precision, creating a crisp sound.

The Divine Firmament Sword shuddered.

Under normal circumstances, the Trinity Auspicious Jade could disperse the Essence Qi on divine weapons, Dharmic treasures and spirit consciousnesses.

Any Dharmic treasure that collided with it would be brushed away.

As for Yun Ting, he was fused with the Divine Firmament Sword. Coupled with the lightning surrounding the Divine Firmament Sword, the collision of the Trinity Auspicious Jade did not knock the Divine Firmament Sword down!

Even so, the Divine Firmament Sword paused slightly in midair and revealed an opening!
