Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2780: A Way Out

Translator: Legge

Feng Xu looked at the remaining thousands of sword cultivators of the Seven Stars Sword World and asked via voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, “What about them?”

If everyone from the Sword World left directly, there was a high chance that the Heavenly Eye army would return.

Furthermore, the remaining cultivators of the Seven Stars Sword World were severely injured and could not protect themselves at all.

Without the protection of the Seven Stars Sword World, even if the Heavenly Eye army did not return, these sword cultivators would easily encounter other calamities.

Lu Yun pondered for a moment before looking at Meng Hao and the other cultivators of the Seven Stars Sword World and asking in a deep voice, “The Seven Stars Sword World has already been destroyed. I wonder what your plans are from now on? Would you be willing to join the Sword World?”

Meng Hao and the other Perfected Immortals exchanged glances and nodded after a moment of hesitation.

If they were not taken in by the Sword World, they would be itinerant cultivators without identities. In the boundless starry skies, they were like rootless duckweed and could die at any moment.

The boundless starry skies of the upper world were like dark forests and were filled with danger.

Even if they encountered a group of bandits that were roaming everywhere, they would not be able to defend against them given their current strength.

“Thank you for taking us in, senior.”

Meng Hao and the other sword cultivators bowed one after another.

Lu Yun nodded slightly and looked at Su Zimo who was not far away. “Brother Su, what do you think about letting them join your ninth Sword Peak?”

There were not many disciples on the ninth Sword Peak and there were only two Perfected Immortals. Lu Yun’s actions could be considered as a favor to Su Zimo.

“I’m fine with it, but I don’t know if they’re willing.”

Su Zimo looked at Meng Hao and the others. “My ninth Sword Peak has just been established and its overall strength is not high. There are only two Perfected Immortals. I’m the Peak Master and my cultivation realm is open to you guys as well.”

The seven Perfected Immortals who survived in the Seven Stars Sword World had higher cultivation realms than Su Zimo.

Among them, there were three Paradise Void Perfected Immortals—Meng Hao was one of them.

Meng Hao waved his hand hurriedly. “Peak Master, you must be joking. We’re already extremely grateful that the Sword World is willing to take us in. How can we not be willing?”

“Alright.”

Su Zimo nodded. “In that case, from now on, you guys will be disciples of Sword Burial Peak of the Sword World.”

“Greetings, Peak Master!”

Meng Hao and the others endured the pain on their bodies and bowed.

Lu Yun said, “That makes things easier. Since everyone is already part of the Sword World, we can head to the Blessed Heaven World together this time round.”

If Meng Hao and the others were to head back to the Sword World on their own, the journey would be long and he did not know what might happen.

It was the safest for them to follow along.

Naturally, Meng Hao and the others had no objections. Apart from Meng Hao and some others, most of the thousands of cultivators had never been to the Blessed Heaven World and were curious about it.

However, everyone was severely injured. Coupled with the calamity and the fact that they had just lost their home and family, they were a little down.

Su Zimo and the others set off once more, entering the spatial tunnel and heading towards the Blessed Heaven World.

The immortal boat was huge and could easily accommodate more than a million people. Meng Hao and the others recuperated quietly in the immortal boat while Lu Yun, Yu Lan and the others stood at the bow of the immortal boat, chatting nonchalantly.

Su Zimo looked at the endless starry skies outside through the spatial tunnel in silence.

The encounter in the Seven Stars Sword World made him lament.

The image of the corpses floating in the blood river in the starry skies had a huge impact on him and he could not forget it even now.

Hundreds of millions of innocent living beings were wiped out just like that.

To the living beings of the ten thousand races of the boundless upper world, no one cared about them at all. In fact, the destruction of the Seven Stars Sword World would not even cause any waves in the upper world.

Chaos had already appeared in the upper world.

Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight in the Emperor’s Tomb had once told him to escape as soon as possible, far away from the center of the upper world and the trichiliocosm.

Actually, Su Zimo had long thought of a way out.

In the Fiend Domain, it was difficult for Tianhuang Sect to fight against Fiend Emperor Apocalypse after his awakening.

The background of Fiend Emperor Apocalypse as well as the secrets he held were unknown.

Unless necessary, Su Zimo was unwilling to fight head-on.

In the Pure Land of Bliss, the influence of Heavenly Lord Six Brahma who was Emperor Bo Xun was increasing.

There was no place for him in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain either.

There would definitely be a huge battle between the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, Pure Land of Bliss and Fiend Domain eventually.

If he continued to stay in the Heavenly World, he would be easily involved.

The best way was to leave the Heavenly World and head to a place far away from the center of the upper world and the starry skies where the war would be. He could just open up a pocket dimension somewhere else.

At that place, there would be no difference between the living beings of the lower and upper worlds. The ten thousand races would coexist and everyone would be equal.

Su Zimo wanted to create a brand new world and establish a pure land.

However, the encounter of the Seven Stars Sword World made him realize how treacherous and dangerous this path was going to be!

Without absolute strength and confidence, even if such a world was established, it would be easily destroyed!

“You’re still thinking about the Seven Stars Sword World?”

When Lu Yun saw that Su Zimo was troubled, he walked over and asked softly.

Su Zimo nodded.

Lu Yun sighed softly. “Actually, events like what happened to the Seven Stars Sword World aren’t rare in the upper world. Some worlds that produce special resources can be looted overnight with countless lives lost in the flames of war.”

“In some worlds, people who obtain some peerless treasure might attract a huge calamity and cause the world to be destroyed.”

“Even super large worlds might not be spared if chaos truly arrives, let alone lesser worlds like the Seven Stars Sword World!”

“Chaos… catastrophe?”

Su Zimo murmured softly as though he had understood something.

Lu Yun said, “You should know that the Sword World encountered a calamity after the Zenith Heaven Era.”

Su Zimo nodded. When he headed to the Zenith Heaven Sword Stele to comprehend the Dao, Peak Master Yu Lan of Sever Sword Peak mentioned this to him.

Lu Yun said, “Fortunately, the Sword World was preserved. After a few eras, it rose again and became a super large world.”

“From what I know, some super large worlds in the past could no longer rise after they declined. Some were even completely destroyed and disappeared in the long river of time without leaving any traces.”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

There had to be at least ten Emperor experts for a world to be a super large world!

However, not all super large worlds could defend against it and were completely destroyed!

What sort of power or calamity were those?

It was unknown if the destruction of those super large worlds had anything to do with the catastrophe of the trichiliocosm or if it was due to any other reason.

Five days later.

Everyone from the Sword World finally arrived at their destination.

Lu Yun steered the immortal boat and broke through the spatial tunnel, descending into the starry skies once more. He pointed in a direction and said in a deep voice, “That’s the Blessed Heaven World.”

Everyone looked over and did not see any world.

Lu Yun steered the immortal boat in a streak of light and continued in that direction.

Before long, the immortal boat seemed to have collided with a water screen and slowed down, causing ripples to appear on the screen.

Everyone from the Sword World felt as though they had suddenly entered another world from the starry skies outside.. The scene before them suddenly changed completely!
