Chapter 1577 - You Have to Die Even If You Don’t Wish to Die!
Translator: Legge
“No other choice?”
Su Zimo smiled.
“Did Clear Wind Temple have a choice?”
“Did Clear Heart Nunnery have a choice?”
Su Zimo glared at the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect and shouted, “If we have to submit to the primordial races because we have no other choice, the human race would have been destroyed in the ancient era!”
“If not for the endless corpses of our human predecessors and the arduous battles of the ancient Emperors, there wouldn’t be the peace of the human race in history!”
His words were powerful and resonating. Cultivators of some super sects such as Heavenly Dipper Sect, Malevolent Earth Sect and the others lowered their heads in shame.
The Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect was expressionless and silent.
Su Zimo pointed at the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect. “The land beneath your feet was paved with endless blood and bones by countless human ancestors!”
“You were born and grew up here! Yet, you choose to kneel to the primordial races? How can you face our human ancestors?!”
‘Those words were sharper than any weapons and every single word struck one’s heart!
Finally, the expression of the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect changed.
He had already cultivated to the Mahayana realm and had experienced countless life and death battles and storms. His Dao Heart was steady as a rock and unshakable.
Even an offensive Dharmic formulation specifically targeted at one’s Dao Heart would have difficulty affecting him, let alone a few words.
However, Su Zimo’’s words caused his Dao Heart to waver and revealed a flaw!
The expression of the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect darkened as he suddenly sneered, “To think that Desolate Martial would be someone with a glib tongue! It’s useless for me even if you say that!”
“Lentered the path of cultivation for the sake of longevity! I’m only 50,000 years old and I don’t want to die yet!”
Mahayana Patriarchs had a lifespan of 100,000 years and were at the peak at 50,000 years old.
“Death has nothing to do with whether you want to or not,”
Su Zimo glared at the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect murderously and said word by word, “Today, even if you don’t wish to die, you have to!”
“Fu.
The Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect sneered, “Why? The renowned strongest monster incarnate in history, Half-Martial Ancestor Desolate Martial, is going to kill a Mahayana Patriarch like me?”
“Why not?”
Su Zimo said coldly, ‘Patriarchs merely possess Blood Rebirth. That does not mean they cant die!”
“Hehe!”
“How ignorant!”
‘When they heard that, the two sect masters of Heavenly Dipper Sect and Malevolent Earth Sect sneered with mocking expressions.
The Island Master of Penglai Island and sect masters of Poison Sect and Corpse Refinement Cult watched coldly from the sidelines, waiting to watch the show.
The young masters of the primordial races seized the opportunity to recuperate and recover their stamina.
The living beings of the ten thousand races knew one thing—towards the later stages of cultivation, the difference in strength was magnified and it was even more difficult to challenge someone above their level.
For example, at the Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment and Golden Core realms, the paragons of most sects could fight beyond their levels.
In fact, they could even kill opponents across major cultivation realms.
However, at the Conjoint Body and Mahayana realm, such a phenomenon was extremely rare.
Furthermore, there was an insurmountable gap between a Half-Martial Ancestor and a Patriarch—that was not a matter of cultivation realm.
It was a complete transformation in terms of strength level!
Even in the golden ancient era where the cultivation civilization was at its peak and there were many monster incarnates such as the Eternal Human Emperor and the Fiend Emperor Hatred, there had never been any Half-Martial Ancestors who could kill Patriarchs above their levels.
The living beings of the ten thousand races admitted that Desolate Martial was the strongest monster incarnate of this generation. In fact, even the young masters of the primordial races were slightly inferior to him.
However, the living beings of the ten thousand races did not believe that Desolate Martial could kill Mahayana Patriarchs across a major cultivation realm!
The Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect smirked with a mocking expression. “Desolate Martial, you might indeed stand a chance if you weren’t injured.”
“Unfortunately, you were struck by my 16 strikes earlier on!”
“Although I did not manage to pierce your Essence Spirit, my 16 strikes pierced your organs and snapped your tendons and limbs!”
At that point, a commotion broke out in the crowd.
Conjoint Body Mighty Figures could indeed regrow severed limbs.
However, that was only if one had sufficient blood qi.
For Conjoint Body Mighty Figures and Half-Martial Ancestor experts, the destruction of a shattered heart was already a devastating blow!
With a shattered heart, blood qi would drain rapidly and combat strength would be diminished—there was no way anybody could hold on for much longer.
Furthermore, his organs were shattered and his lifeforce was severed. With his tendons snapped, Desolate Martial’s body was equivalent to being crippled!
Hidden Death Sect was best at assassination.
How could a Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect return empty-handed from an assassination attempt?!
“My 16 strikes have severed the life from your organs. Although you can still stand now, you’re already at the end of your road,”
The Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect sneered, “Desolate Martial, stop acting. You can’t hide from me!”
“Is that so?”
Su Zimo released his grip on his chest and said calmly, “Sorry to disappoint you.”
Splash!
The sound of a tsunami surged and rumbled from Su Zimo’s body without any signs of weakness!
All the living beings of the ten thousand races were shocked with widened eyes!
“Impossible!”
The Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect frowned.
It was the same for the living beings of the ten thousand races.
There was no way the attacks of the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect could have missed. All the living beings of the ten thousand races witnessed the blood arrows that shot out from midair.
The only explanation was the Green Lotus True Body!
“This Green Lotus True Body is truly powerful. He can even heal instantly after his heart was pierced!”
“That’s right. It’ll be much simpler to recover the lifeforce of other organs with the recovery of the heart and circulation of blood qi.”
“The only way to destroy such powerful regeneration capabilities is to shatter this Green Lotus True Body into pieces!”
Acultivator said in a deep voice, “In that case, the true purpose of Desolate Martial’s conversation with the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect earlier on was to buy time for his Green Lotus True Body to recover!”
“So what if he has recovered? Even after recovering, Desolate Martial is merely a Half-Martial Ancestor. How can he fight against a Mahayana Patriarch?”
Many living beings did not think highly of Desolate Martial in this battle.
“Interesting,”
The Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect smiled and calmed down quickly. “Since that’s the case, I’ll kill you once more!”
Before his sentence was finished, the figure of the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect swayed and he disappeared in front of everyone’s countless gazes!
“Mmm?”
“He’s gone!”
“I can’t even sense any aura!”
All the living beings of the ten thousand races widened their eyes in shock!
The Palace Lord of Enigma Palace’s heart skipped a beat as though he recalled something. Suddenly, he shouted, “Desolate Martial, watch out! That’s a divine power… Invisibility!”
Invisibility was one of the thousands of lesser divine powers.
There were many concealment Dharmic arts but they would always reveal various flaws.
As for Invisibility, the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect truly vanished completely without a trace in front of everyone!
Be it spirit consciousness probing, listening or sensing, none of them could detect the aura of the Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect!
That was the terror of Hidden Death Sect!
This lesser divine power, coupled with Hidden Death Sect’s assassination Dao, was perfect. Even ordinary Mahayana Patriarchs could not defend against this sudden attack!
The Patriarch of Hidden Death Sect vanished.
However, everyone knew that he would definitely launch a thunderous attack the next time he appeared!
