Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2584 - 2584 Heart Sword


2584 Heart Sword

Zong Feiyu’s death caused a huge shock to the remaining cultivators of the Heaven Ranking Prediction!

Even Zong Feiyu, Rank 4 of the Heaven Ranking Prediction, could not defend against Su Zimo’s attacks. Some of the cultivators who were initially restless now had to reconsider their actions.

They did not know if they could return alive if they went forth to challenge him!

On the second battlefield.

Sensing that the combat on Su Zimo’s side had ended, Yun Ting’s attacks became even fiercer and faster.

Qin Gu’s face was pale as he grit his teeth and defended with all his might.

Victory was about to be decided in this battle.

If Yun Ting could not take down Qin Gu within a short period of time, even if he won in the end, he would have expended a lot of Essence Blood. That would cause immense damage to himself and might even affect his future cultivation.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing was as dense as rain.

In everyone’s eyes, even the Divine Firmament Sword seemed to have vanished, let alone Yun Ting.

The only thing left around Qin Gu was a sword beam that was surrounded by lightning that circled and galloped.

“Heart Sword!”

Suddenly!

Yun Ting’s voice sounded once more.

That was his other trump card!

The Heart Sword was invisible and once released, it would target the other party’s Dao Heart.

This was a killing technique targeted at the Dao Heart!

With his Dao Heart destroyed, Qin Gu would definitely lose this battle.

If he could not repair his Dao Heart, Qin Gu might have no hope of advancing to the Perfected One realm for the rest of his life!

The strength of that secret skill was closely related to the strength of one’s Dao Heart.

If one’s Dao Heart was not strong enough and the other party’s Dao Heart was indestructible without any flaws, they would suffer a backlash and their Dao Heart would be damaged if they released the Heart Sword targeted at their opponent.

The Heart Sword secret skill was a double-edged sword!

If one’s Dao Heart was not strong enough and was not as strong as the other party, they would suffer the consequences of their actions.

The reason why Yun Ting was able to cultivate the Heart Sword secret skill successfully was all thanks to the crushing defeat Su Zimo gave him in the Emperor’s Tomb thousands of years ago.

That defeat woke Yun Ting up from a dream.

Instead of crushing him, that defeat made his Dao Heart even stronger and sharper, allowing him to eventually comprehend the Heart Sword Dao.

In the battle with Su Zimo earlier on, Yun Ting had actually considered using the Heart Sword secret skill as well.

However, he hesitated for a moment and did not summon it.

He was worried that if this secret skill was released, Su Zimo’s Dao Heart would be damaged and he would lose a powerful opponent.

At that moment, Yun Ting did not know yet.

His choice of giving up had indirectly saved himself.

If he had released his Heart Sword secret skill on Su Zimo, the battle between the two of them would have ended a long time ago.

On the second battlefield.

Against the invisible Heart Sword, Qin Gu did not have any divine powers or secret skills that could defend against it. He could only defend with his Dao Heart and hold his ground!

As long as he was one with his Dao Heart and there were no flaws in it, Yun Ting’s Heart Sword would return fruitless.

To be fair, Qin Gu’s Dao Heart was indeed strong enough.

Even for Perfected Immortal experts, the conditions were extremely stringent if they wanted to be reborn—it was one in a million!

The first requirement for the reincarnation of a Perfected Immortal was for his soul to be intact.

If the Essence Spirit was severely injured and his soul was destroyed, he would not be able to be reborn no matter how many supreme experts protected him.

Before the soul entered reincarnation, an Immortal King-level expert had to release a Dharmic art to protect it and leave an imprint on it.

Everything in the early stages was still within the control of humans.

Once one entered reincarnation, everything would be decided by fate.

In the Six Paths of Reincarnation, anything could happen and there was a high chance that the imprint left on the soul would be washed away.

Once the imprint disappeared, it was uncertain if he could reincarnate successfully or would end up as any random living being.

Even after his reincarnation, the former Perfected Immortal would become a new living being that had nothing to do with his previous life.

Without an imprint, experts of his previous life would naturally not be able to guide him back and keep him in the sect.

It could be said that all the Perfected Immortals who could reincarnate successfully were lucky people blessed by the heavens!

Furthermore, Qin Gu had reincarnated and cultivated for two lifetimes. There was naturally no need to elaborate on how strong his Dao Heart was.

However, at the same time, his two lifetimes of cultivation also meant that he had failed in his previous life.

In this battle, he did not dare to challenge Yun Ting when the latter was in his peak condition. He only wanted to take advantage while Yun Ting was down—that was also proof of his failure in this generation!

It could be said that the moment he stood out to challenge Yun Ting, his Dao Heart had already left a fatal flaw!

“He lost.”

Chess Immortal Jun Yu looked at Qin Gu on the battlefield and shook her head gently, merely saying two words.

Back then, she had the intention to stop Qin Gu because she could see through the flaw in his Dao Heart!

Unfortunately, Qin Gu was stubborn and was forced to this point.

On the second battlefield.

Qin Gu stood on the spot with widened eyes and sweat pouring down his forehead. His expression changed and flickered.

“Pfft!”

Suddenly!

Qin Gu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

His face was ashen as he retreated continuously. Relying on his last bit of strength, he fell from the gigantic stone battlefield.

Thud!

Qin Gu fell to the ground, covered in mud and looking wretched with a dark expression.

His Dao Heart was damaged and he no longer had the strength to fight. It was already extremely fortunate that he could survive.

The cultivators of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect hurried forward and helped Qin Gu up, returning to their seats.

Yun Ting stood on the gigantic stone with his sword in hand. The color on his face had lessened significantly as well.

He took out a handful of immortal pills and swallowed them all. Panting slightly, he did not continue chasing after Qin Gu.

Firstly, he had expended a lot of Essence Blood in this battle and needed to rest.

Secondly, Qin Gu failed in his previous life. Now that he was reborn, he suffered such a blow in this generation.

Although he managed to survive today, his accomplishments would be limited in the future as well.

At this point of the battle, there was already an outcome for the battles between the top four of the Heaven Ranking Prediction.

Under normal circumstances, Su Zimo and Yun Ting would be Rank 1 and 2 respectively.

Given Qin Gu and Zong Feiyu’s capabilities, they would definitely occupy Rank 3 and 4.

But now, one of them was dead and the other was injured—they did not even have the chance to be on the Heaven Ranking.

Many cultivators sighed internally.

Initially, Qin Gu and Zong Feiyu wanted to take advantage of the situation and reap the rewards. To think that they would end up with one dead and one injured.

One could not help but lament the irony of fate.

On the second battlefield, Yun Ting looked at Su Zimo from afar and grinned. “Su Zimo, you won!”

He was convinced of his defeat in this battle.

It was not only because Su Zimo won before him.

More than that, Yun Ting knew in his heart that it would be difficult for him to defend against Su Zimo’s three killing moves.

“However…”

Yun Ting changed the topic and declared, “Just because I lost this battle doesn’t mean that you can always defeat me! There’s still a long way to go. One day, I’ll beat you once!”

Su Zimo smiled without saying anything.

If Yun Ting could not defeat him this time round, his chances of winning in the future would be even smaller.

The difference between the two of them would only increase!
