Eternal Sacred King

2207 Assault

“Eh? There’s someone else over there!”

In the square, someone pointed to the trench at the bottom of the sea.

Apart from Su Zimo, another figure in Level 2 dived into the trench as well, as though he had a motive.

Perfected Immortal Xie Ling had a conflicted expression as he said coldly, “There are truly some special characters in the Earth Ranking competition this time round. They have the courage to covet every single thing they see.”

The elders of the academy looked straight and pretended not to understand.

However, many people could hear the bitterness in Xie Ling’s tone.

A treasure like the Mars Stone was extremely precious to Perfected Immortals as well.

The loss of one of such items in the Nine Heavens was already enough to make Xie Ling’s heart ache. If he lost another, his head might hurt.

“That’s the Great Commander of the Execution Guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, Tie Han!”

Some cultivators recognized the origin of that figure.

“Strange, why did he choose to dive into that trench as well?”

Many cultivators whispered among themselves.

When Perfected Immortal Xie Ling saw that, he knew that he could not hide it either and declared, “In that trench is the foundation of Level 2, a piece of Mercury Ice!”

Mercury Ice!

The eyes of many Heaven Immortals present lit up.

Mercury was among the many stars and was formed from water—it was ranked alongside Mars.

As for the rocks on Mercury, they were like ice blocks that were almost transparent, emitting a chilling intent that froze everything!

If a piece of Mercury Ice was used to cultivate water and ice-element cultivation techniques and secret skills, it would take less effort.

If one were to create a sentient Dharmic treasure and add it in, it would raise the grade of the Dharmic treasure by at least a level and its power would increase significantly!

For example, a sentient Dharmic treasure might only be an Eight Tribulations Spirit Treasure.

If a piece of Mercury Ice was added, the sentient Dharmic treasure could become a Nine Tribulations Spirit Treasure, the legendary Pure Yang Spirit Treasure!

Even Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals were tempted by such a treasure, let alone Earth Immortals.

“I got it,”

A cultivator said in a deep voice, “I heard that Tie Han’s physique is special and he has an ice physique. Furthermore, he cultivated some top-tier ice attribute cultivation technique. He must be trying to make use of this Mercury Ice to advance his cultivation.”

“This is going to be interesting.”

“Su Zimo and Tie Han have their eyes on this Mercury Ice at the same time. There’s probably going to be a battle between the two of them in advance!”

Right in front of everyone, Tie Han did not dive at a fast speed. He was extremely cautious.

If not for that temperament, he would not have been able to become the Great Commander of the Earth Execution Guards!

On the other side, Su Zimo dived at an extremely fast speed. The two of them were far apart and were not on the same path, separated by the vast seawater.

Before long, Su Zimo had already surpassed Tie Han and was getting closer to Mercury Ice!

Just as Tie Han was diving, he suddenly paused, as though he sensed something.

Right on the heels of that, he changed directions slightly and sneaked towards Su Zimo’s direction. He was even slower and more careful!

“Tie Han’s senses are so sharp!”

“Su Zimo passed through the sea at high speed. The fluctuation of the seawater is a little strong and has already alerted him!”

When the elders of the academy saw that, they became nervous.

In the depths of the sea, visibility and spirit consciousness detection range were limited and the two of them could not see the other party’s existence.

Tie Han dived slowly and did not cause any fluctuations in the depths of the sea.

However, it was the opposite for Su Zimo. By exposing his existence, he attracted Tie Han’s attention and alertness.

Right now, Tie Han could sense Su Zimo’s existence.

However, Su Zimo was oblivious to Tie Han!

One of them was in the open while the other was in the dark. Before they even started fighting, Su Zimo was already disadvantaged!

…

In the deep sea trench.

Su Zimo dived the entire way without encountering any obstacles.

There were no living beings in the trench and as he dived deeper, the temperature of the seawater decreased as well!

If it was any other cultivator, their bloodline would have frozen long ago.

However, the Green Lotus True Body had a strong physique and his bloodline flowed silently within his body. It circulated smoothly the entire time and allowed Su Zimo to maintain his peak condition.

Su Zimo did not know where the treasure of Level 2 was.

However, as long as he searched through the depths of the cold, he would definitely be able to find the source of the chill!

After a long time, Su Zimo gradually stopped in his tracks.

Not far ahead, a fist-sized ice block floated. It was crystal clear and emitted a chilling intent that even the Green Lotus True Body felt extremely uncomfortable.

Even though he was in the seawater, Su Zimo’s brows and hair were already covered by a layer of frost.

His clothes were already frozen and became incomparably tough!

If not for the envelopment of the Heavenly Perfected Water, his clothes would have been frozen into ice shards!

...

In a flash, Su Zimo floated towards the ice block.

The closer he was, the colder it was!

In the end, the coldness even penetrated the flesh of the Green Lotus True Body and froze his bloodline into ice that he could not circulate!

Su Zimo’s lips were purplish from the cold.

However, he could still maintain his clarity.

Although his bloodline was frozen, his Green Lotus Bone had undergone a baptism of thunder before. Countless electric arcs flashed continuously in his body to defend against the coldness.

Su Zimo’s speed decreased.

Finally, the ice block was within reach!

Su Zimo raised his arm and grabbed the ice block.

Suddenly!

A powerful lifeforce burst forth from the ice block.

...

Immediately after, endless coldness gathered and formed a gigantic Divine Turtle in the depths of the sea. It roared at Su Zimo and charged over!

Su Zimo’s gaze intensified and he was in no hurry.

Previously, when he subdued the Mars Stone, he encountered such a counterattack. This time round, he was prepared as well.

Su Zimo channeled his spirit consciousness and circulated his massive divine powers, forming a turtle shell in front of him rapidly. It shone with mysterious patterns and sparkled brightly, blocking in front of him.

Immediately after, his spirit consciousness moved and the Heavenly Perfected Water on his body flowed rapidly, covering the turtle shell.

Innate divine power, Spirit Turtle Shield!

Initially, this was only a spirit turtle from the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.

However, because of the existence of the Heavenly Perfected Water, the Spirit Turtle Shield had an additional aura of the Black Tortoise Sacred Soul.

The Frost Divine Turtle that was charging over was slightly stunned and its strength weakened slightly. However, it still charged over fiercely!

Right then, a warning flashed in Su Zimo’s mind!

Suddenly, a strange feeling came from the seawater behind him!

Someone was there!

When they saw that, many cultivators in the square held their breaths and widened their eyes.

As bystanders, they naturally saw everything clearly.

Tie Han followed Su Zimo all the way down and arrived here as well, but he did not attack rashly.

He was waiting patiently.

It was only when Su Zimo snatched away the Mercury Ice and triggered its spirit consciousness to resist that he appeared and suddenly attacked!

The timing of the attack could be said to be perfect!
