Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2962: Heart towards the Light

Translator: Legge

Su Zimo followed Beiming Xue and Mu Lian and continued forward.

Before long, Su Zimo’s gaze shifted. Through the Nether Glow Stone with his left eye, he saw a team of hundreds of black-armored riders gathering in the darkness in the distance, heading in the direction of the three of them!

This time round, it was not an illusion. Instead, some corpses that died here back then were controlled by the dark power here and awakened one after another.

The black-armored riders were dilapidated. Some of them had no heads, severed arms or only half of their bodies. They wielded rusty spears and broken swords.

The horses beneath them were riddled with holes as well, leaving only tattered skeletons and battered armor.

From the attire of the black-armored riders, they should be cultivators of the Darkness World back then.

The black-armored riders approached the three of them continuously. As their vision and spirit consciousness were obstructed, Beiming Xue and Mu Lian did not notice anything.

Even the sound of the black-armored riders approaching was dispelled by the surrounding dark power.

As the black-armored riders approached continuously and they were only a thousand feet away from each other, the black-armored riders seemed to have discovered something and glared at Su Zimo, stopping in their tracks.

The black-armored riders gradually put down the weapons in their hands and opened their mouths slightly, as though they were saying something.

Su Zimo frowned slightly and moved closer to the black-armored riders.

“The body is shrouded in darkness but the heart heads towards the light…”

The black-armored riders chanted repeatedly with pious expressions.

Those words possessed an indescribable power and were chanted by the black-armored riders who had died many years ago, filled with endless tragedy and desolation.

“The body is shrouded in darkness but the heart heads towards the light…”

Su Zimo murmured softly.

What exactly happened between the Darkness World and the Light World back then?

Su Zimo looked at the black-armored riders with a solemn expression and cupped his fists slightly before turning to leave, following Beiming Xue and Mu Lian.

Along the way, the three of them encountered many wandering black-armored riders.

However, when the black-armored riders noticed Su Zimo hiding in the darkness, they did not advance to attack. Instead, they dodged on their own.

Although the black-armored riders did not give them any trouble, Beiming Xue and Mu Lian still encountered attacks from living beings of other worlds and a few killing battles broke out.

Mu Lian was a supreme Perfected Spirit after all. Unless their opponents were supreme Perfected Spirits as well or half-step Kings, it was difficult for them to pose any threat to her.

Although Beiming Xue was only at greater mastery of the Martial Dao, she had already revealed the combat strength of a supreme Perfected Spirit!

After a few battles, although Beiming Xue was also severely injured, her aura had clearly changed.

The killing power of the Sword Dao and the bravery of the Martial Dao were gradually revealed!

Especially in such a complicated and vile environment, it was a huge test for Beiming Xue.

Everything she faced was unknown and she could encounter danger at any moment with her life on the line.

She even had to face powerful enemies from different worlds.

Right from the beginning, Su Zimo did not appear. Even when he saw Beiming Xue in danger, he did not attack rashly. Instead, he let Beiming Xue resolve the danger with her own strength.

He would only attack if Beiming Xue and Mu Lian encountered a powerful enemy that they could not deal with.

Su Zimo observed carefully.

Along the way, most of the living beings Beiming Xue and Mu Lian fought with came from three worlds—the Blood World, the Tomb World and the Poison World.

Among them, there were also some scattered individuals from the Witch World.

Furthermore, as time passed, more and more people from the Blood, Poison and Tomb Worlds gathered over in the darkness, showing signs of surrounding the two of them!

It was a little unusual for so many people from the Blood, Poison and Tomb Worlds to appear in the Land of Day and Night.

“From the looks of it, it’s probably not a coincidence that Mu Lian encountered someone from the Blood World here.”

Su Zimo looked at the crowd that was gathering in the distance in deep thought.

If the Nether Calamity Poison of the Flower World came from the Poison World…

What role did the Blood World and Tomb World play in this matter?

Did this have anything to do with the Witch World?

The nine teams sent by the Flower World into the Land of Day and Night were completely wiped out. From the looks of it, the Poison World, Tomb World and Blood World were involved in this!

Just as Su Zimo was deep in thought, Beiming Xue and Mu Lian were surrounded by the people of the Tomb World once more!

Ten-odd cultivators of the Tomb World controlled malevolent and terrifying Battle Corpses that emitted the stench of corpses and attacked Beiming Xue and Mu Lian continuously!

The cultivators of the Tomb World could have the advantage in the darkness.

The cultivation methods and combat methods of the people of the Tomb World were abnormal.

Although they also cultivated themselves, they valued cultivating and nurturing their Battle Corpses more and controlling them to help them fight.

Compared to their Battle Corpses with immense strength and poison laced over their bodies, the cultivators of the Tomb World were relatively weak—that was their greatest weakness.

However, in the Land of Day and Night, that weakness was perfectly concealed under the envelopment of darkness!

The true bodies of the Tomb World cultivators hid in the darkness and controlled their Battle Corpses to attack Beiming Xue and Mu Lian continuously.

Beiming Xue and Mu Lian could not retaliate at all.

Thanks to countless years of refinement by the Tomb World cultivators, the Battle Corpses were already indestructible and were not inferior to divine weapons.

Coupled with the fact that the group of Battle Corpses could not sense anything and were fearless, they did not notice anything even though they were covered in injuries from Beiming Xue’s sword. They did not care and their ferocity did not decrease!

Beiming Xue and Mu Lian were surrounded by more than ten Battle Corpses. Although they could not resolve the danger, they could defend and retreat.

“Roar!”

Right then, another red-haired Battle Corpse joined the battlefield and roared at Beiming Xue and Mu Lian. Its bulging eyes were dark green and its fangs were sharp and bloodstained in its bloody mouth!

The aura emitted by the Battle Corpse was clearly even more berserk and surpassed the surrounding dozen or so Battle Corpses!

“This is bad!”

Mu Lian exclaimed softly, “A half-step King of the Tomb World has attacked!”

The two of them had expended a lot of energy after fighting consecutively and were now injured.

There was no way they could defend against a Battle Corpse refined by a half-step King.

The red-haired Battle Corpse hollered and joined the battle, charging towards Beiming Xue and Mu Lian with a torrential aura!

Beiming Xue’s sword was a Nine Tribulations Pure Yang Spirit Treasure. However, when it struck the red-haired Battle Corpse, it was blocked by the thick red hair on the Battle Corpse and could not injure his flesh at all!

She threw out counterattacks continuously and sword lights flashed coldly. However, Beiming Xue was forced back by the red-haired Battle Corpse and a wound appeared on her body.

The flesh around the wound gradually changed color and emitted a rancid aura—it was clearly poisonous and even Beiming Xue’s True Martial Dao Body could not defend against it!

In the darkness, an old man of the Tomb World hid with an excited expression.

As the old man controlled the red-haired Battle Corpse to attack Beiming Xue and Mu Lian continuously, he smiled sinisterly. “How dare you two little girls challenge me? I’ll let you two have a taste of my power!”

A figure gradually appeared in the darkness behind the old man…
