2518 Retreating in Shock Zong Feiyu did not care about Yue Hai’s life and death. Did he succeed? Zong Feiyu believed that no Essence Spirit could defend against his spirit consciousness sword qi. Furthermore, his Essence Spirit realm far surpassed that of a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal. The power of his Essence Spirit was even infinitely close to the Perfected One realm! Unfortunately, when the sword qi entered Su Zimo’s consciousness, it vanished without a trace like a rock entering the sea. Su Zimo did not seem to be affected or injured at all. Not only that, Su Zimo even turned around and grinned at him. That smile sent chills down his spine! The reason why Su Zimo dared to make such a choice was naturally because he had the Green Lotus Sword condensed from the green lotus seeds in his consciousness that could neutralize Zong Feiyu’s spirit consciousness sword qi. Among the Essence Spirit secret skills he controlled, the two with the strongest might were not the ones earlier on, but the Reverse Scale! He had specially left that Essence Spirit secret skill for Zong Feiyu! Su Zimo smiled at Zong Feiyu before a palm-sized dragon scale flew out from his glabella and sped towards the latter. Although the dragon scale looked ordinary, Zong Feiyu felt a strong sense of danger! However, he was indignant if he were to retreat just like that. Unlike everyone else, his capabilities and strength surpassed others by a level. Coupled with the teleportation talisman in his hands, he could leave at any moment. It was impossible for Su Zimo to kill him. At that thought, Zong Feiyu did not retreat. Instead, he released a stream of spirit consciousness and tried to make contact with the dragon scale. The moment the two Essence Spirit secret skills made contact and before they even collided, Zong Feiyu’s expression changed starkly as he severed the spirit consciousness and retreated! However, the Reverse Scale had long locked onto him. It followed his aura and continued chasing like a shadow. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎 “Ground Prison Painting!” Once Zong Feiyu was trapped on the spot and delayed for a bit, the Reverse Scale would descend and he would have nowhere to run! However, he looked at the incoming dragon scale with deep fear in his eyes. “Su Zimo, it’s difficult for me to unleash my methods in the Asura battlefield. I’ll let you be smug today. We’ll definitely fight during the battle for the Heaven Ranking!” Before his sentence was finished, Zong Feiyu crushed the teleportation talisman without hesitation. With a bright flash, he left the Asura battlefield instantly! The Reverse Scale still wanted to chase after the aura left behind by Zong Feiyu. Unfortunately, Zong Feiyu was extracted from this space. Although the Reverse Scale was powerful, it could not cross space and gradually dissipated. Su Zimo was not surprised by this outcome. Zong Feiyu was way too cautious and could sense danger. He did not dare to take the Reverse Scale head-on and merely touched it. Furthermore, Zong Feiyu’s Essence Spirit was not inferior to his! Otherwise, his Essence Spirit would have been injured with that slight touch earlier on! Above the ancient city, the six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace looked down with dumbfounded expressions! Previously, they had expected this battle to be extremely intense. Zong Feiyu, Song Ce, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang, Yue Hai and Xie Tianhuang were all on the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction. However, alongside hundreds of other Heaven Immortals, they were completely defeated by a single person—this was an outcome none of them expected! Song Ce and Yue Hai were dead. Heaven Immortal Luo Yang’s lifespan had decreased significantly. Although he was still alive, he was no different from a cripple. Xie Tianhuang survived and escaped with serious injuries. Among the five of them, only Zong Feiyu managed to escape completely unscathed. Furthermore, in that final scene, Zong Feiyu was clearly shocked by Su Zimo’s methods and did not dare to fight again! The other hundreds of Heaven Immortals suffered even more losses and only a small half managed to escape alive. The rest were buried in the sea of flames. Divine Swamp murmured with a conflicted expression, “Who would have thought that the fight for the seal would end in such a manner?” Divine Cloud sighed as well. “That’s right. Prior to this, everyone thought that there would be rivers of blood on this Paramita Bridge and corpses would be strewn all over the lone island. However…” “He guarded the Paramita Bridge alone and stopped everyone outside. Xie Qingcheng was the only one who arrived on the island.” Even now, Divine Wind still felt that it was unbelievable. “Chaos, complete chaos!” Divine Rainbow murmured continuously. “What?” The others asked instinctively. Divine Rainbow looked at the Heaven Ranking Prediction before him and smiled bitterly. “In this battle, Su Zimo singlehandedly turned the Heaven Ranking Prediction into chaos!” “Indeed.” Fairy Divine Crane nodded as well. “Three of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking Prediction have been completely eliminated. Furthermore, among the cultivators who just died, some of them were on the Heaven Ranking Prediction as well.” “How should we rank that lad?” Divine Rainbow asked. “Rank 3 at least!” “In my opinion, he can be Rank 2!” “He’s only a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal. I-It doesn’t make sense if we place him at R-Rank 2…” “No matter what, he has to be above Zong Feiyu.” Although Zong Feiyu could not unleash his full combat strength on the Asura battlefield, the pressure on Su Zimo in this battle was even greater as he took on everyone singlehandedly! “Yes, I think Rank 3 is alright then. After all, Qin Gu isn’t weak either.” Fairy Divine Crane said, “Furthermore, being Rank 2 or 3 makes no difference for him. If I’m not wrong, it will be either him or Yun Ting who will take the Rank 1 spot.” “Who will write the updates on Su Zimo?” Divine Rainbow asked. Although it was only a huge battle, there was a lot of information. “Let me do it.” Fairy Divine Crane took the initiative to say. “Don’t rush, let’s wait first. It’s not over just yet.” Divine Cloud reminded. There were only two people left in front of the Malevolent Blood Lake. Lie Xuan and Su Zimo. “Eh?” Divine Rainbow’s expression changed as he suddenly said, “Interesting. Lie Xuan actually managed to comprehend something from Su Zimo’s flame secret skill earlier on. He seems to have benefited quite a bit!” “In that case, does Lie Xuan have a chance of defeating this lad?” “Indeed, it’s possible. Don’t forget, Lie Xuan is at his peak condition right now. As for Su Zimo, he has just fought a fierce battle and has almost released all his trump cards. He has expended a lot of energy.” Fairy Divine Crane said hurriedly, “Even if Lie Xuan wins, Su Zimo’s ranking won’t change.” “Of course.” The other few Perfected Immortals chuckled. On the battlefield below, the Pancadhi Dao Fire was gradually extinguished. Lie Xuan looked at Su Zimo opposite him and was in no hurry to attack. “Su Zimo, I won’t take advantage of you.” “You’ve expended too much energy fighting strong foes today.” “To be honest, I’ve just comprehended something and broke through the Great Sun Sutra once more. If I attack you now, it would be like bullying you.” Su Zimo looked at Lie Xuan quietly. After he was done speaking, he strode forward and said, “Cut the crap. If you want to fight, fight!”
