Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 1407: Tribulation Transcendence Immortals

“Why is there a fisherman here?”

Mo Ying sighed softly.

In her opinion, even Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords would be shredded into pieces against the might of a Mahayana Patriarch, let alone a fisherman!

Right then, on the small boat, the fisherman removed the green straw hat on his face, revealing an ordinary face with an unshaved beard.

The Golden Crow Patriarch in the clouds attacked once more. A gigantic golden claw blazing with flames descended and grabbed towards Su Zimo!

The fisherman’s eyes were clear as he looked at the firmaments. Suddenly, he raised his hand with a fake smile.

The green straw hat flew from his hands and transformed into a green beam of light. Instantly, it arrived at the gigantic golden claw and slashed forward!

“Pfft!”

Scarlet blood gushed out and scattered down!

Mo Ying’s pupils constricted.

She could clearly see that the destructive golden claw in midair was severed by the unassuming green straw hat!

Even though it was severed, the gigantic claw burned with flames as it fell into the ocean. The ocean blazed with raging flames that lasted for a long time!

“Grawr!”

A tragic cry sounded from the firmaments!

It was a piercing screech and Mo Ying clutched her ears with a pained expression.

Thankfully, the sound disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

The Mahayana Patriarch of the Golden Crow race had escaped!

Mo Ying’s eyes widened and she could not snap out of her stupor for a moment. She felt as though she was dreaming.

However, the sense of danger that surrounded her initially had indeed vanished.

They were saved?

She and the young master managed to survive the pursuit of the Golden Crow Patriarch?

Who was this fisherman?

How terrifying was the cultivation realm of this fisherman to be able to slice off a claw of the Golden Crow Patriarch with such ease?!

Right then, Su Zimo had already reverted into his human form from his true form, landing on the fisherman’s small boat with Mo Ying.

He was covered in injuries and was almost completely exhausted to be able to escape here.

When he descended, he could not control his body; he practically smashed onto the small boat.

Under normal circumstances, given Su Zimo’s physique, he should be able to puncture even a cultivator’s spirit vessel with his fall, let alone a small boat!

However, the small boat did not budge at all despite Su Zimo smashing onto it.

In fact, there were no ripples on the surface of the water beneath the small boat at all.

“Thank you, senior,”

Su Zimo said hurriedly and struggled to stand up.

The fisherman smiled gently and waved his hand. A mysterious power enveloped Su Zimo and the pain on his body lessened significantly.

The wounds on Su Zimo’s body were left behind by the gigantic claws of the Golden Crow Patriarch.

Not only were the wounds charred black, there were even remnant divine powers. Even with the bloodline of the Dragon Phoenix, it would take an extremely long time for them to recover.

However, with a wave of his hand, the fisherman erased the remaining divine powers from Su Zimo’s wounds.

The blood of the Dragon Phoenix surged and his wounds healed at a visible speed!

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo’s injuries healed by more than half!

“Lad, we meet again,”

The fisherman smiled at Su Zimo.

Mo Ying’s heart skipped a beat and she could not help but ask, “You know this senior, young master?”

“We’ve met once,”

Su Zimo nodded.

The fisherman was the person who had guided Su Zimo’s saber technique and was known as the Hermit!

Back at the seaside, this senior’s whereabouts were mysterious and unfathomable. Su Zimo had once deduced that Hermit was definitely a peerless expert!

However, he had not expected that Hermit’s combat strength would be so terrifying that even a Golden Crow Patriarch had his leg severed by a single move and was forced to retreat!

As one of the Primordial Nine Races, a Patriarch expert of the Golden Crow race was comparable to the Emperors of the human race!

Back then, in his rage, the red-headed ghost attacked and destroyed two super sects of the Buddhist monasteries. Furthermore, he exhausted an Emperor of the Buddhist monasteries to the point of death!

The terrifying combat strength of a Patriarch of the primordial races was clear.

If he could defeat a Patriarch of the Golden Crow race with ease, could it be…

A thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind and he could not help but jump in shock.

He was truly curious and could not help but ask, “Senior, are you an expert at the Tribulation Transcendence realm?”

After the Conjoint Body realm was the Mahayana realm.

After the Mahayana realm came the Tribulation Transcendence realm.

Conjoint Body experts were referred to as Mighty Figures.

Mahayana realm experts were referred to as Patriarchs.

Su Zimo truly did not know what titles Tribulation Transcendence experts had.

Even Mo Ying’s ears and eyes were widened with curiosity as she waited for the fisherman’s reply.

Upon hearing Su Zimo’s question, Hermit broke out into a chuckle and shook his head.

“How would you have the chance to meet an expert at the Tribulation Transcendence realm?”

Hermit laughed.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Su Zimo was momentarily stunned.

Hermit explained, “Actually, strictly speaking, Tribulation Transcendence isn’t a realm. After the Mahayana realm, the cultivator’s cultivation will continue to advance. When they cultivate to the perfected Mahayana realm, they will be able to sense the Heavenly Tribulation.”

“If they can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, they will leave Tianhuang Mainland and ascend to the upper world!”

“There are extremely few people who can cultivate to the point of Tribulation Transcendence. The process of Tribulation Transcendence is even more treacherous where only one in ten will get to survive. For those that fail, their souls will dissipate and they will not reincarnate. However, those that succeed will ascend to the upper world and you will naturally not see them.”

Su Zimo’s eyes revealed a look of realization.

It was no wonder why he had never heard of experts at the Tribulation Transcendence realm. So, if they could survive the Heavenly Tribulation, they would ascend to the upper world!

At the mention of the upper world, Su Zimo’s heart was suddenly filled with anticipation.

He suddenly felt that he was getting closer to Die Yue!

Initially, the distance between the two of them was still out of reach.

However, up till this point of his cultivation, he had already begun to come into contact with some things about the upper world.

Hermit continued, “Those in the Mahayana realm are referred to as Patriarchs. Only those that achieve the Tribulation Transcendence can be referred to as immortals!”

Su Zimo’s heart stirred.

Back then, Die Yue once told him something similar—there were no immortals on Tianhuang Mainland!

Su Zimo thought for a moment and asked, “Senior, you’re an Emperor?”

Hermit smiled gently and did not deny.

Su Zimo asked again, “What’s the realm of an Emperor?”

Hermit replied, “Emperors are actually still at the Mahayana realm. However, there are also differences in strength between Mahayana Patriarchs. Emperors are the strongest type of Patriarchs!”

“Once you enter the Ancestor realm, you will naturally understand the difference between Emperors and ordinary Patriarchs.”

Hermit continued, “Not only Patriarchs, even Emperors varied in strength. Back in the primordial era, the human race rose with multiple Emperors in a bedazzling manner.”

“However, not many ancient human race Emperors could fight against the Patriarchs of the Primordial Nine Races; even fewer could defeat the Emperors of the Primordial Nine Races.”

Su Zimo nodded.

Right now, the Emperors he knew that could fight against the Emperors of the primordial races were the Human Emperor, Fiend Emperor Hatred, Buddha Emperor and Thunder Emperor.
