Eternal Sacred King

2220 A Better Body
“Whether I live or die is none of your business!”

Liu Ping hollered and suddenly channeled his Essence Spirit, releasing a secret skill.

The temperature of his bloodline that was initially about to freeze rose rapidly and in the blink of an eye, it boiled with scarlet flames!

Liu Ping’s figure turned into a streak of flames and his speed increased exponentially, almost flying through the air. He sprinted into the distance and distanced himself from Tie Han rapidly!

“Mmm?”

Frowning, Tie Han hastened to catch up as well.

However, even if his movement technique was at its limits, he would only be able to match Liu Ping at most and would not be able to close in.

“How long can you last by burning your Essence Blood to release your escape technique?”

Tie Han said coldly, “When you can’t hold on any longer, the attacks of the ice blades in your body will become even more ferocious and you’ll definitely die!”

Essence Blood was equivalent to the foundation of a cultivator’s blood qi.

This escape technique was rare to begin with and its effect was extremely shocking the moment it was released!

This Blood Ignition Escape technique was similar to Dharmic Blood Escape but different.

The Dharmic Blood Escape technique expended a portion of the cultivator’s blood qi in exchange for a momentary increase in speed without damaging his foundation and body.

However, the Blood Ignition Escape technique required one to burn his Essence Blood continuously!

If he could not stop it and his Essence Blood burned continuously, it would eventually cause irreparable damage to the cultivator and touch their foundation—they might even die!

The reason why Liu Ping could defend against the invasion of the frost qi and ice blades for the time being was because of the immense power released by burning his Essence Blood.

On the one hand, that power was used to increase his speed. On the other hand, it was used to defend against the frost qi and ice blades in his body.

Once his Essence Blood was depleted and the cold qi invaded, he would definitely die as Tie Han had said!

Liu Ping knew it as well but he did not stop in his tracks.

‘If not for Junior Brother Su, I would have died in Level 4. My life was saved by Junior Brother Su. I can’t let him ascend!’

‘Senior Brother Ye sacrificed himself and died. I must not let him down!’

‘Not only do I have to remind Junior Brother Su, I have to remind my fellow sect mates from the academy! I have to hold on…’

Liu Ping recalled those thoughts repeatedly.

His Essence Blood burned faster and faster and his body became weaker as the journey grew longer. However, his gaze became firmer!

‘I must meet Junior Brother Su alive. I want to tell him everything so that he can prevent our other fellow disciples…’

With that obsession, Liu Ping actually burst forth with a shocking will to survive against Tie Han’s pursuit. Like Ye Fei, he refused to submit!

In the square.

Everyone was moved when they saw the academy cultivator who was burning with flames but had a cold aura above his head—although he had a pale expression, his gaze was resolute!

At that moment, many cultivators finally understood why Heaven and Earth Academy was one of the four immortal sects.

Everyone gradually understood what Ye Fei wanted to protect even at the cost of his life.

It was the dignity of Heaven and Earth Academy!

Disciples of the academy would definitely not bow down!

“If this continues, that academy disciple won’t be able to survive.”

“Sigh, I didn’t expect this outcome. Heaven and Earth Academy lost two people in succession and Princess Scarlet Rainbow is the only one on the Earth Ranking this time round.”

“However, they won the respect of many people.”

Liu Ping, an Earth Immortal whose combat strength could not even pass Level 4, was worlds apart from Tie Han.

However, under the watchful eyes of countless cultivators, Liu Ping managed to escape from Tie Han’s pursuit and finally caught sight of the teleportation formation to Level 4!

The elders of the academy watched everything with reddened eyes.

When Liu Ping arrived at the teleportation formation, he turned back and grinned at Tie Han who was charging over. He left Level 5 and disappeared!

Standing there, Tie Han hesitated for a moment but did not chase after Liu Ping.

Even if he stopped chasing, Liu Ping would be a dead man.

Furthermore, the terrain of Level 4 was complicated and the vegetation was lush. If he encountered Su Zimo inside, the outcome would be unpredictable and there was no need for him to take the risk.

At that thought, Tie Han turned around and walked towards the Earth Ranking stele.

…

Level 4.

In front of the gigantic willow tree, Su Zimo held a small jade green branch in his hands.

That tree branch was the treasure of Level 4.

The treasure was called the Jupiter Wood but it was actually a stone that fell off Jupiter Wood. However, it looked like a tree branch and was filled with life.

Su Zimo held the Jupiter Wood. The Green Lotus True Body had a strong desire to devour and take the power of the Jupiter Wood for itself!

He hesitated for a moment and did not throw the Jupiter Wood into the Hell Suppression Tripod. Instead, he put it away in his storage bag first.

The Hell Suppression Tripod had a chance of repairing the fourth tripod wall after devouring the Venus Stone.

Although the Azure Dragon Sacred Soul showed no signs of awakening, if he obtained other treasures later on, it would not be too late to give them to the Hell Suppression Tripod.

However, there were not many treasures suitable for the Green Lotus True Body to absorb.

One after another, the willow branches danced around Su Zimo and brushed his shoulders gently. They looked extremely docile and no longer had the aggression from earlier on.

The middle of the willow tree was split apart forcefully by Su Zimo as he snatched the Jupiter Wood away!

Even with the help of the Jupiter Wood, its strength could not fight against the Creation Green Lotus.

At that moment, it knew that its life and death depended on a single thought of Su Zimo and began to plead for mercy.

Su Zimo had a mocking expression as he looked at the willow tree before him and sneered, “You’re only thinking of begging for mercy now?”

“Mmm?”

Suddenly, Su Zimo sensed something and glanced sideways at the teleportation formation not far away.

A figure staggered over with a pale face and purplish lips—it was Liu Ping who had ascended not long ago!

“What happened?”

Su Zimo hurried forward and hollered.

“Junior Brother Su, I’m not going to make it. Please don’t ascend,”

When Liu Ping saw Su Zimo, he felt relieved and panted. “Tai Hua and the others are guarding the stele of the Earth Ranking, prepared to join forces to deal with you. Everyone else in the academy has been sealed by them…”

“Let’s talk about it later.”

Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness moved and scanned Liu Ping, frowning.

Liu Ping’s Essence Blood was completely burned.

At that moment, Tie Han’s frost qi ice blades that entered his body released a terrifying might. His flesh, bones and organs had already frozen into ice!

Su Zimo went forward to support Liu Ping.

The moment his palm made contact with Liu Ping’s arm, it shattered into countless ice shards.

Liu Ping’s body was completely crippled with no life left!

The cold qi surged into Liu Ping’s consciousness, wanting to freeze his Essence Spirit!

“Hmph!”

Sensing this, Su Zimo attacked decisively and released a rich and pure Essence Qi that surged into Liu Ping’s body, shattering the frost qi ice blades!

Liu Ping’s Essence Spirit survived.

However, his body was also shattered by this clash, turning into ice shards that scattered beneath Su Zimo’s feet.

“It’s nothing much to lose this body. At the very least, I managed to survive.”

Liu Ping’s Essence Spirit laughed bitterly.

A thought jolted through Su Zimo’s mind as he suddenly said, “That body of yours is nothing much as well. I’ll give you a better body!”
