Chapter 2613 - 2613: Punishment
Translator: Legge
Eternal Damnation originated from the final Heavenly Tribulation of the Nine of Nine Heavenly Tribulations.
A myriad of Heavenly Tribulations transformed into countless runes that emitted a destructive aura and descended, covering the skies densely!
There was the Formation Tribulation, Residency Tribulation, Destruction Tribulation, Emptiness Tribulation…
Fire Tribulation, Water Tribulation, Wind Tribulation, Weapon Tribulation…
Each tribulation evolved into countless minor tribulations, three calamities, nine catastrophes and ten negative karma tribulations. Like a tsunami of
Heavenly Tribulations, they surged and devoured towards Sword Immortal Yue Hua!
Instantly, an apocalyptic scene appeared above Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s head!
In the tsunami of Heavenly Tribulations, Sword Immortal Yue Hua trembled slightly and looked incomparably insignificant. The sharpness of the True Essence on his body was already torn into pieces.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua endured the pressure with bloodshot eyes. As though he was giving it his all, he channeled his Dao Fruit Essence Spirit and condensed his True Essence, releasing divine powers and secret skills one after another.
However, his divine powers and secret skills surged into the tsunami of Heavenly Tribulations like a rock entering the sea. They did not cause any ripples and vanished in the blink of an eye.
In the face of the peerless divine power, all his counterattacks were insignificant!
Right then, the secret skill of the Grand Elder of the academy descended and a heavenly-encompassing palm appeared above Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s head, supporting the surging tsunami of Heavenly Tribulations!
Although the peerless divine power was strong, the Martial Dao Prime Body was restricted by his cultivation realm and Eternal Damnation could not injure a Supreme Immortal King like the Grand Elder of the academy.
However, the tsunami of Heavenly Tribulations surged continuously, wanting to flow through the gaps between the fingers of the heavenly-encompassing palm and continue to threaten Sword Immortal Yue Hua.
“Hmph!”
The Grand Elder of the academy harrumphed coldly and suddenly exerted strength in his heavenly-encompassing palm, gripping it into a fist!
Boom!
The tsunami of Heavenly Tribulations suddenly exploded and a loud bang sounded in midair!
The grab of that heavenly-encompassing palm contained the terrifying power of a Supreme Immortal King and destroyed the divine power of Eternal Damnation instantly.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua was right beside the heavenly-encompassing palm and Eternal Damnation. The aftershock of the collision of the two powers surged and formed a storm that engulfed him instantly!
Sword Immortal Yue Hua shrieked.
Although Eternal Damnation was destroyed by the Grand Elder of the academy, there were still many dilapidated Heavenly Tribulations and damaged runes that retained the Dharmic Dao of the peerless divine power.
Naturally, such a Dharmic Dao posed no threat to an Immortal King.
But, Sword Immortal Yue Hua was only a Perfected Immortal and could not defend against it at all!
If the Grand Elder of the academy had not chosen to fight Eternal Damnation head-on and merely blocked it, Sword Immortal Yue Hua would have had a chance to escape.
However, the Grand Elder of the academy chose to take the peerless divine power head-on. The aftershock spread and it was too late for Sword Immortal Yue Hua to escape!
In the blink of an eye, wounds appeared on Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s body. Some of them were so deep that his bones could be seen and some of them even revealed his organs in a shocking manner!
The most tragic thing was that one of Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s arms made contact with a shattered rune of the Weapon Tribulation and it was forcibly severed!
Sword Immortal Yue Hua fell to the ground and his body convulsed continuously, letting out a tragic cry. He was covered in blood and did not even look like a human anymore.
“Mmm?”
When the Grand Elder of the academy saw the tragic state of Sword Immortal Yue Hua, his expression changed. He propped up his major Grotto-heaven and repelled the Martial Dao Prime Body, arriving beside Sword Immortal Yue Hua instantly.
The Grand Elder of the academy took out a few immortal pills and sent them into Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s mouth.
Thereafter, he conjured hand seals consecutively and released a few healing secret skills that struck Sword Immortal Yue Hua.
“Ah! Ah! It hurts!”
After a few healing secret skills, Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s cries turned even more tragic. His body convulsed and his injuries showed no signs of healing!
Perhaps because the immortal pills had some effect or because of the few healing secret skills of the Grand Elder of the academy, Sword Immortal Yue Hua seemed to have regained a momentary clarity as he looked at the Grand Elder with a pleading expression.
“It’s too painful! Hurry, kill me and give me a swift death!”
Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s voice trembled slightly.
Looking at Sword Immortal Yue Hua at the foot of the mountain, the cultivators gasped and shuddered when they heard the terrifying tragic cries.
“Eternal Damnation! That’s way too terrifying!”
“Once he’s struck by that peerless divine power, no injuries can be healed. At this rate, Sword Immortal Yue Hua won’t be able to hold on for long and will be tortured to death by his injuries!”
“One of the three great sword immortals of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and Rank 9 of the Perfected Immortal Ranking. To think that he would end up in such a state today.”
When the immortals and monks saw that, they were filled with emotions.
Initially, everyone felt pity for Shi Wunian and the others when they saw Desolate Martial kill them with a single punch.
But now, compared to Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Shi Wunian and the others might have been lucky to die without any pain.
Another person sighed. “If he had known earlier, Sword Immortal Yue Hua wouldn’t have escaped. He would have chosen to be punched to death by Desolate Martial instead of suffering such pain and torture.”
Although MO Qing was long displeased with Sword Immortal Yue Hua, she could not help but shake her head and sigh gently when she saw him in such a tragic state.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua had once said in front of her, “If Desolate Martial dares to appear in front of me, I’ll definitely sever his facade and destroy his myth with a single slash.”
Those words seemed to have happened yesterday.
It was a little ironic when she recalled that scene.
Back then, even Sword Immortal Yue Hua himself had not expected that he would truly encounter Desolate Martial and end up in such a state.
Although there were many cultivators present, apart from Yun Zhu, there was probably no one else who knew why Desolate Martial targeted Sword Immortal Yue Hua.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua targeted Su Zimo repeatedly and even joined forces with outsiders to try and kill him!
If he killed Sword Immortal Yue Hua directly, it would be letting the latter off too easily!
The only way to punish him was to let him die in pain and torment!
At the side of the Green Firmament Immortal Domain.
Lin Luo looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua who was covered in blood and screaming repeatedly and frowned slightly.
“Mother, is there no way to dispel Eternal Damnation?” Lin Luo asked. Immortal Queen Ling Long said, “Of course there is, but it’s very difficult unless Yue Hua can comprehend the secrets of the Grotto-heaven realm and become an Immortal King.”
“Judging from his current situation, it’s difficult for him to survive, let alone attempt to advance to the Grotto-heaven realm.”
Lin Luo asked again, “Eternal Damnation is only a peerless divine power after all. Can’t the Immortal Kings purge and suppress that power?”
“Of course we can.’
Immortal Queen Ling Long said, “Any Immortal King present can purge Eternal
Damnation as long as they summon their Grotto-heaven.”
“However, at the same time, Yue Hua won’t be able to survive and will be crushed to death by the power of the Grotto-heaven!”
The Dharmic Dao of Eternal Damnation had already fused into every single wound on Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s body.
If his Essence Spirit wanted to escape, it would be struck by the power of Eternal Damnation.
Purging Eternal Damnation from him meant that his body, bloodline and even Eternal Damnation would be suppressed and crushed!
Pausing for a moment, Immortal Queen Ling Long changed the topic.
“However, nothing is absolute. If there’s an Immortal King whose
Grotto-heaven condenses endless lifeforce, it might be able to help him dispel
Eternal Damnation and save his life.’
“However, there are extremely few Immortal Kings like that. At the very least, I’ve never heard of an Immortal King in the Heavenly World possessing such a
Grotto-heaven..”
