Chapter 3008: Tomb Translator: Legge The inheritance of the Combat Totem was way too strange. The Taboo Mystic Classic did not have any cultivation technique incantations and the relief sculptures were actually the Combat Intent of Great Emperor Combat for his entire life! That fearless and indomitable spirit that fought against the heavens and the earth! All the Dharmic Daos were contained in his repeated exchanges with Great Emperor Combat. Initially, Su Zimo was puzzled and could not even believe it. The two of them had the same cultivation realm and he had comprehended nine peerless divine powers. It could be said that he was unprecedented. How could he not be able to defeat Great Emperor Combat? Even against the fourth level of the Combat Totem, Combating Past and Present, where Great Emperor Combat possessed a hundred foot tall Combat Soul and a 16 times increase in combat strength, he should be able to fight back. However, as his comprehension of the Combat Totem deepened, he gradually understood the profundities and differences. Simply put, the first three transformations of the Combat Totem were still considered top-tier cultivation techniques and secret skills according to common knowledge. After all, Su Zimo had once comprehended a peerless divine power that could increase his combat strength by eight times. The first three transformations were not at the level of the Taboo Mystic Classic. However, in the fourth level, Combating Past and Present, the Combat Totem underwent a complete transformation and underwent a qualitative leap! This transformation was not only an increase in combat strength. Furthermore, it was an improvement in the Dharmic Dao! The Eight Tusk Divine Strength that Su Zimo comprehended was only a peerless divine power after all. Due to the restriction of the Dharmic Dao, the Eight Tusk Divine Strength could not increase the strength of the Grotto-heaven realm. It could only increase its combat strength on the basis of the Perfected One realm. In other words, once Su Zimo advanced to the Grotto-heaven realm, the increase in combat strength of that peerless divine power would be negligible. However, the fourth level of the Combat Totem was different. This was a Dharmic Dao of a higher level! Even after Su Zimo entered the Grotto-heaven realm, he could still make use of the Dharmic Dao of Combating Past and Present to increase his combat strength on the foundation of the Grotto-heaven realm. Furthermore, it was 16 times! It was precisely because of this suppression in terms of Dharmic Dao that Great Emperor Combat was able to defeat Su Zimo repeatedly. For example, although Great Emperor Combat looked like he was still at the Perfected One realm, he was able to release the strength of a perfected Grotto-heaven. Naturally, there was no way Su Zimo could defend against that. This was not a power that the Perfected One realm could control. It was impossible for the true Great Emperor Combat to master Combating Past and Present at the Perfected One realm as well. The reason why this scene could appear was entirely because they were in this strange space. The ultimate goal of Great Emperor Combat was not to defeat Su Zimo either. Instead, he wanted to pass down his Combat Intent through continuous sparring! Su Zimo stayed the longest in this strange space. Year after year… As time passed by, Su Zimo gradually came into contact with the profundities of Combating Past and Present and finally understood why the fourth level of the Combat Totem could raise the Dharmic Dao to another level and increase his strength by 16 times. From the initial Combat Soul to Combating the Ten Thousand Races and Combating the Universe, the Combat Intent of Great Emperor Combat maintained a state of continuous improvement. Initially, he merely condensed a Combat Soul. Later on, he became enemies with the ten thousand races and looked down on the entire universe. As for Combating Past and Present, it was even more bold! Great Emperor Combat wanted to ride the long river of time against the current and fight against the top experts that had appeared in this world in the past! The river flowing behind Great Emperor Combat was the river of time! During this process, Great Emperor Combat’s body was washed away by the long river of time the entire time and his lifespan was decreasing at a terrifying speed. Ten thousand years in a single breath! The lifespan lost would never recover either. The reason why there was such a domineering secret skill was because he sacrificed his lifespan in exchange! The essence, qi and spirit of the secret skill matched Great Emperor Combat’s Combat Intent. He pressed forward with indomitable will and never returned! Grotto-heaven Kings had a lifespan of a million years. Apart from the period of time he cultivated before becoming a King and his declining combat strength, he could only maintain his Combating Past and Present state for hundreds of thousands of years. With ten thousand years lost in a single breath, dozens of breaths passed by in the blink of an eye. However, in those dozens of breaths, he could push his combat strength to its peak and sublimate it to its limits with the secret skill of Combating Past and Present! Unknowingly, Su Zimo had already stayed in this strange space for a hundred years. After a hundred years of tempering, Great Emperor Combat had already passed down the complete Combat Intent of Combating Past and Present. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 The Combat Soul behind him gradually faded and could disappear at any moment. As for the Combat Soul behind Su Zimo, it became even more corporeal! Finally, Su Zimo separated from the space of the fourth relief sculpture. This time round, Monkey came around a few years earlier than him. The fourth relief sculpture dissipated and turned into dust. The two of them passed by the fourth relief sculpture and continued forward, seeing the fifth relief sculpture. On the fifth relief sculpture, Great Emperor Combat was already in his twilight years. His fur was pale and he wielded a staff, pointing angrily at the universe and roaring loudly! Below the fifth relief sculpture were five words. Combating the Nine Heavens! The next moment, Su Zimo and Monkey entered the strange space once more. This time round, the two of them separated from the strange space in an instant. The fifth relief sculpture dissipated and turned into dust. There were a total of five levels to the Combat Totem and the inheritance of the Taboo Mystic Classic had already ended. Su Zimo and Monkey exchanged glances in confusion. They encountered the same situation in their respective strange spaces. The old Great Emperor Combat attacked the two of them. The terrifying Combat Intent surged over like a tidal wave and drowned the two of them instantly. The next moment, the two of them woke up. Compared to the first four levels, the inheritance of the fifth level was incomparably short. It ended before the two of them could even react. What exactly was the fifth level of the Dharmic Dao? According to the development road of the Combat Totem, the fifth level, Combating the Nine Heavens, should bring about an even more obvious increase to combat strength. However, why was the inheritance so short and ended instantly? The two of them exchanged their thoughts but to no avail. Su Zimo pondered for a moment and analyzed, “Perhaps our cultivation is insufficient and we can’t understand the true meaning contained in Combating the Nine Heavens.” Monkey nodded and glanced at the situation outside. He frowned. “That group of Horse Monkeys hasn’t left yet. These dogs are truly patient!” There was no news from the Martial Dao Prime Body yet. The two of them could not leave this place for the time being and could only continue searching. “Let’s take a look over there.” Monkey seemed to have sensed something and pointed in a direction. Before long, Monkey felt the bloodline in his body stir and became rather manic with a blood glint in his eyes. Su Zimo sensed something amiss as well. The atmosphere ahead was dark and the death qi was extremely rich! The two of them continued walking for a while more and stopped at the same time. More than ten tombs appeared in front of him. Ancient headstones stood on it, indicating the identity of the owners of the tombs. The owners of these tombs were all experts of the Sanguine Ape World back then. They followed Great Emperor Combat on the Path to Heaven to the very end, eventually dying and buried here..
