It was already too late the moment the Thunder Emperor’s voice sounded.
Su Zimo’s hands were already gripping the handle of the saber!
He shuddered and his eyes widened.
At that moment, countless killing scenes appeared before his eyes. Blood qi filled the air and many tragic tortures surged into his mind.
His head felt like it was about to explode!
Su Zimo had never felt such a terrifying killing intent from a saber.
The berserk power of the saber surged into Su Zimo’s body and rampaged, destroying life wherever it passed!
Instantly, the surface of Su Zimo’s body split open and a blood mist burst forth!
“Ah!”
Unable to endure the pain, Su Zimo roared into the skies with a menacing expression and his features contorted.
Boom!
Su Zimo’s consciousness was in chaos.
The Creation Lotus Platform spun continuously and released a green glow. 81 green lotus seeds circled around the Green Lotus Essence Spirit, forming a barrier that isolated the invading killing qi.
Su Zimo could no longer conceal his Green Lotus bloodline and released it completely!
Beams of rich green light acted on the wounds and released a tremendous amount of lifeforce to repair them.
However, the power of the saber was way too ferocious.
Even the Green Lotus True Body could not defend against it!
His current resistance merely bought some time.
The Thunder Emperor was even more surprised.
He had been pinned to the stone pillar by the saber for hundreds of thousands of years and no one knew better than him how terrifying it was!
That was King Tianxing’s weapon—the true Execution Saber!
Every single Execution Guard wielded an Execution Saber.
However, those Execution Sabers were merely replicas of this saber and only looked the same.
Even Heaven Immortals would have difficulty escaping unscathed from the Execution Saber before them, let alone a Black Immortal.
However, the young man before him was not killed by the Execution Saber right away!
In the Thunder Emperor’s vision, Su Zimo’s figure had already turned blurry and in his place was a jade green lotus that soared into the skies.
The lotus stem was upright and its leaves were crystalline. A single sway from it seemed like it could shake the world!
“Creation Green Lotus!”
The Thunder Emperor’s gaze intensified as he recognized the origin of the green lotus.
“Let go!”
The Thunder Emperor hollered. Although he was trapped and could not move, he released a powerful spirit consciousness that struck Su Zimo’s chest.
Bang!
Su Zimo was sent flying and his hands left the Execution Saber.
“Pfft!”
Su Zimo spat out a huge mouthful of blood.
Although the entire process sounded slow, in reality, only an instant had passed before the Thunder Emperor saved him.
However, even at that moment, the Execution Saber caused immense damage to him!
“Lad, are you crazy?!”
The Thunder Emperor hollered softly, “Hurry and leave this place!”
Clang!
Suddenly, the Execution Saber trembled gently, as though it was excited.
“This is bad! The Weapon Spirits of this saber have awakened!”
The Thunder Emperor had a grim expression.
“Damn it!”
Su Zimo cursed and held the Hell Suppression Tripod. He glared at the Execution Saber and grit his teeth. “At most, I’ll use the Hell Suppression Tripod to devour this lousy saber!”
The Thunder Emperor frowned. “This is King Tianxing’s Execution Saber, a Grotto-heaven Spirit Treasure that contains endless punishment and killing power. The lousy tripod in your hands can’t defend against it at all!”
“You have the Green Lotus bloodline. If you can cultivate a Grade 12 Creation Green Lotus, you might have a chance to save me. Hurry and leave now!”
The Thunder Emperor was not wrong.
However, there was something he did not say.
He did not know how long it would take for Su Zimo to cultivate to the Grade 12 Creation Green Lotus—he might not be able to last till then.
Clang!
Right then, the Execution Saber sounded once more.
Suddenly, two phantom sabers burst forth from the saber. One represented punishment and the other represented killing as they slashed towards Su Zimo!
“It’s over,”
The Thunder Emperor sighed internally.
The Weapon Spirits in the Execution Saber had been asleep for hundreds of thousands of years and were now completely awake.
The pair of Weapon Spirits were born from King Tianxing and were incomparably violent—they would definitely not let Su Zimo leave alive!
The two Weapon Spirits of the Execution Saber were filled with killing intent and charged towards Su Zimo excitedly.
Su Zimo knew how powerful it was and shielded the Hell Suppression Tripod in front of him hurriedly.
Clang!
The two phantom sabers struck the Hell Suppression Tripod with a sharp sound.
The Thunder Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.
Under normal circumstances, there was no way that battered Bronze Tripod could defend against the power of the Execution Saber’s Weapon Spirits.
However, when the Weapon Spirits of the Execution Saber stood on the Bronze Tripod earlier on, they were repelled!
Sensing the killing intent, one of the walls of the Hell Suppression Tripod shone red.
“Screech!”
The sound of a phoenix’s cry suddenly sounded, comparable to the sound of the Execution Saber.
Immediately after, a blazing flame surged out of the Hell Suppression Tripod and burned the surrounding void red.
The figure of an immortal bird gradually appeared in the flames.
“The Weapon Spirit within the Bronze Tripod is still alive despite its battered state?”
The Thunder Emperor was even more surprised.
This immortal bird was far from the massive body of the phoenix race. When its wings were spread, it was less than ten feet long. However, it was bathed in flames and exuded an aura that surpassed all living beings. Its gaze was cold and emotionless.
“Vermillion Bird Sacred Soul!”
The Thunder Emperor recognized the origin of the immortal bird right away.
The bloodline of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul was even superior to the phoenix and it was the true progenitor god that controlled flames!
“Hell Suppression Tripod… that name sounds familiar, as though I’ve heard of it before,”
The Thunder Emperor murmured softly, as though he recalled something.
A Dharmic treasure or weapon that could use the Vermilion Bird as a Weapon Spirit was definitely not a nameless item!
Ding!
“Screech!”
Right then, the three Weapon Spirits were already fighting.
The saber beam filled the air and flames surged.
Although the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul was strong, the two Weapon Spirits of the Execution Saber were even more ferocious and suppressed the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul completely!
Actually, when Su Zimo heard that the saber was a Grotto-heaven Spirit Treasure, he had already realized that the Hell Suppression Tripod might not be a match for the other party.
It was not because the Hell Suppression Tripod was inferior to the Execution Saber.
It was because the four walls of the Hell Suppression Tripod were only half repaired and its strength was worlds apart from the Emperor weapons at their peak.
Back on the Dragon Abyss Star, even with the help of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird, the Hell Suppression Tripod could only suppress a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure like the Godfiend Soul Summoning Banner.
Pure Yang Spirit Treasures were still considered as Perfected Immortal weapons.
However, Grotto-heaven Spirit Treasures were Immortal King weapons!
Given the Hell Suppression Tripod’s current capabilities, it could not devour the Execution Saber even if it did not resist.
Back then, the reason why the Hell Suppression Tripod could devour, absorb and refine a Grotto-heaven Spirit Treasure was because it was destroyed by the black hole in the starry skies.
As for the Execution Saber, although it had slept for hundreds of thousands of years, it was still incomparably violent and sharp!
In just a moment, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul was severely injured by the two Weapon Spirits of the Execution Saber and it was only a matter of time before it was defeated.
If the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul was defeated, it would fall asleep once more and Su Zimo would lose his greatest backing.
