Chapter 2505
2505 White Tiger Malevolent Blood
Above the ancient city.
When the six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace saw that, they had conflicted expressions and revealed looks of pity.
“What a pity. That lad is still too young and lacks combat experience. He ignored his surroundings and suffered such a calamity, sigh.”
Divine Rainbow sighed.
Divine Cloud said, “If he could tear the teleportation talisman in time, he could have escaped. Unfortunately…”
“To think that such a genius would die in the Asura battlefield. Isn’t that a pity?”
“Geniuses who die prematurely are not considered geniuses. Throughout history, there have been countless paragons who died prematurely. Who can remember them?”
As the five of them discussed, Fairy Divine Crane frowned slightly and remained silent, as though she had not snapped out of her stupor.
“The ranking of the Heaven Ranking Prediction will probably have to be modified again.”
Divine Rainbow smiled bitterly. “Though, Su Zimo has indeed created a record. The moment he entered the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction, he died and was removed.”
Once cultivators on the Heaven Ranking Prediction were dead, their names were naturally removed.
The Heaven Ranking Prediction was in the hands of Fairy Divine Crane and she had yet to start writing the evaluation of Su Zimo as Rank 10.
When Divine Rainbow saw that Fairy Divine Crane did not move for a long time, he could only go forward and retrieve the Heaven Ranking Prediction in her hands so that he could remove all information and traces of Su Zimo who was Rank 10.
“Something’s not right!”
Fairy Divine Crane shook her head.
“What’s wrong?”
Divine Flames said, “Divine Crane, I know that you think highly of this lad. However, he’s already dead and naturally can’t occupy a spot on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.”
Fairy Divine Crane said deeply, “I’m not referring to that. I’m referring to the fact that he just fell into the lake. Although it seemed like he was forced down by Zong Feiyu, don’t you guys feel that it was a little abrupt?”
Divine Rainbow and the others exchanged glances without saying anything.
Actually, after Su Zimo fell into the lake, everyone’s first reaction was indeed surprise and disbelief.
Fairy Divine Crane continued, “When he fought against the six Heaven Immortals earlier on, his control of the situation, reaction on the spot and methods against the enemy could be said to be perfect. It shows that this lad is extremely talented in combat.”
“How did he suddenly lose? Furthermore, he made such a low-level mistake and did not even tear the teleportation talisman when he had nowhere to retreat?”
Divine Wind deduced, “Perhaps he was hoping for a fluke? That lad was indignant and did not want to leave just like that. That was why he did not tear the teleportation talisman apart. By the time he realized how terrifying the lake beneath him was, it was already too late.”
Fairy Divine Crane shook her head gently in doubt.
Divine Rainbow was puzzled and asked, “Divine Crane, are you saying that this lad fell into the lake not because Zong Feiyu forced him, but because he wanted to intentionally?”
Fairy Divine Crane was silent.
Indeed, she had that thought in her mind, even though it sounded ridiculous.
Divine Swamp chuckled. “Could that lad have taken things too hard and committed suicide instead?”
“Divine Crane, the lake beneath is condensed from malevolent blood qi. Even if we fall in, we might not be able to survive.”
Divine Flames smiled helplessly. “Whether it was intentional or not, he has already fallen into the lake and the outcome is death.”
Fairy Divine Crane did not reply and channeled her spirit consciousness, trying her best to probe into the lake.
Even with her spirit consciousness, she could not reach the bottom of the lake. It was already her limit to detect the middle of the lake.
Suddenly!
In the middle of the lake, she sensed a lifeforce fluctuation that was extremely similar to Su Zimo’s aura!
“He’s not dead yet!”
Fairy Divine Crane’s words were shocking and her eyes lit up.
“Mmm?”
The expressions of the other five Perfected Immortals changed slightly. Knowing that Fairy Divine Crane would not joke about this, they hurriedly released their spirit consciousnesses and probed into the lake.
Indeed!
They could also sense Su Zimo’s lifeforce fluctuation in the lake. Although it was fluctuating violently, it was clear that he was still alive!
He was not dead?
The eyes of the few Perfected Immortals were filled with disbelief.
“Even if he’s not dead and is in the Malevolent Blood Lake, how long can he last?” Divine Swamp expressed his doubts about this matter.
Divine Cloud said deeply, “Furthermore, even if he manages to crawl out alive, if his Essence Spirit or Dao Heart were even slightly injured by the wild corrosion of the power of the malevolent blood, he’ll be completely crippled!”
Fairy Divine Crane said, “No matter what, as long as he’s not dead, he shouldn’t be removed from the Heaven Ranking Prediction.”
Divine Rainbow said in a deep voice, “What Divine Crane said makes sense. However, we don’t know if he can recover his previous combat strength after this calamity. Furthermore, there’s a high chance that he will be crippled!”
“I suggest we reinstate him in the Heaven Ranking Prediction. However, he can only be ranked last for the time being.”
Fairy Divine Crane nodded. She had no objections to this arrangement.
…
A figure descended slowly from the lake.
Fairy Divine Crane’s guess was not wrong—Su Zimo’s entry into the lake was naturally part of his calculations.
After falling into the lake, the rich malevolent blood power in the lake was much more terrifying than he had imagined!
The malevolent blood qi had already condensed into a lake—the level of that power was imaginable.
An endless stream of malevolent blood power surged into Su Zimo’s body through his pores, destroying all life!
Even his consciousness was invaded by the power of the malevolent blood!
Endless berserk and murderous emotions struck his Dao Heart.
However, his Dao Heart was firm and unshakable and he could still maintain his clarity. Hurriedly, he chanted the Prajna Nirvana Sutra and circulated the Heavenly Perfected Water at the same time, forming a barrier around him.
This secret skill imparted by the Black Tortoise Sacred Soul could unleash its greatest effect in the lake.
Even so, the power of the malevolent blood in the lake surged over from all directions—the Dharmic Dao of the Heavenly Perfected Water could not defend against it at all!
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he chanted the secret skill sutra passed down by the White Tiger Sacred Soul hurriedly.
Although he did not understand the meaning of the sutra, the pressure around him decreased with every silent chant.
Indeed!
Prior to this, he was only guessing.
But now, he was almost certain that the malevolent blood in the Asura battlefield had something to do with the sacred beast, White Tiger!
This was the White Tiger Malevolent Blood!
Su Zimo chanted the secret skill sutra repeatedly and the attacks of the malevolent blood power on him gradually decreased.
Initially, Su Zimo was only an outsider to the malevolent blood in the lake. That was the reason why he was attacked wildly.
However, Su Zimo chanted the secret skill sutra from the White Tiger Sacred Soul repeatedly, causing an aura similar to the White Tiger to appear on his body, fusing with the malevolent blood in the entire lake.
Under normal circumstances, even if a Perfected Immortal was in the Malevolent Blood Lake, he would not be able to withstand its corrosion.
However, by some freak coincidence, Su Zimo had long cultivated a secret sutra inherited from the White Tiger Sacred Soul, causing him to possess the aura of a White Tiger.
Naturally, the power of the malevolent blood in the surroundings would not be hostile towards anyone with the aura of the White Tiger.
Su Zimo was relieved that the crisis was resolved.
As he fell, he vaguely caught a strange connection from another direction at the bottom of the lake that resonated with the secret skill sutra he was chanting.
Su Zimo followed that connection and sneaked towards the bottom of the lake.
