《Eternal Sacred King》Chapter 145: The Power of Lightning Arts
Advertisement
That Foundation Establishment Cultivator had all sorts of tricks up his sleeves. Before he was able to use any of them, he was slashed down by Su Zimo’s sword formation!
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Sending forth waves of sword qi, the Hexagonal Sword Formation rebounded multiple flying swords and broke little fatty out of his predicament.
In just a short while, there was already a wound on little fatty’s body.
“It’s fine, my skin is thick. Bro, don’t worry about me,” Little fatty yelled as he charged forth without even turning back.
Leng Rou had indeed displayed the strength as a disciple of a major sect as well. Even though she did not cultivate any secret skills of the sect, she was able to defend against the encirclement of nine mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators using just her talismans!
But of course, it was clear that the nine of them had not exerted their full strength too. They were merely playing a cat and mouse game, taunting Leng Rou with lewd remarks while attacking.
Unmoved in the slightest bit, Leng Rou was not in any danger for now.
On the other side, a dozen or more Foundation Establishment Cultivators had shifted their attention towards Su Zimo. They surrounded him with all their might as flying swords tore through the voids while spirit arts exploded everywhere.
No matter how strong the Hexagonal Sword Formation was, it was unable to withstand the power of so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators. In the blink of an eye, it was on the verge of collapse.
“Haha!”
One of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators burst out in laughter. “I want to see how long a mere Qi Refinement Warrior like you can last!”
“Roar!”
Before he could stop laughing, a black shadow appeared beside him. It bit on that man’s throat as blood gushed out.
The spirit tiger had been waiting for an opportunity to attack and as such, an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s life was ended.
Even though it was only a spirit beast, if it closed in on Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they wouldn’t stand much of a chance.
That was also the reason why Die Yue had once told Su Zimo that demon cultivators are the best at killing opponents through level gaps.

“Beast, how dare you behave so insolently!”
A few of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators cursed angrily. Invoking spirit arts, the spirit qi in the surroundings surged violently towards the spirit tiger.
With the spirit tiger’s current strength, it was unable to defend against the power of spirit arts at all.
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze and dodged a few incoming flying swords. Shifting the Hexagonal Sword Formation, he blocked it in front of the spirit tiger and defended against a few types of spirit arts.
Bam!
There was a deafening sound.
The spirit arts dispersed and Su Zimo’s Hexagonal Sword Formation could no longer hold out as well.
Struggling to form a proper pattern, all six swords fell to the ground and dimmed.
Quick-witted, the spirit tiger seized the opportunity to hide behind Su Zimo instantly and glared fiercely at the dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the other end.
“Kid, the spirit qi within you should be almost depleted by now, right?” An early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator scoffed coldly.
Even though the battle between both parties had been short, Su Zimo had blocked too many flying swords. He had expended a lot of spirit qi and was indeed running short.
“Let’s see how you can continue to be arrogant. Die!”
One of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators conjured hand seals and gestured towards Su Zimo. Instantly, a fireball the size of a fist shot out. Even while it was traveling, the air was already crackling from the heat.
Su Zimo’s eyes lit up as he suddenly reached out and grabbed the fireball.
“You must be courting death!”
When the Foundation Establishment Cultivator saw Su Zimo receiving the spirit art with his bare hands, he could not help but scoff internally.
Channeling his blood, a flash of dense lightning appeared in Su Zimo’s palm.
“Hmm?”
“What is that?”
“Power of thunder!”
Many of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators cried out in alarm as their pupils constricted.
Piak!
The fireball was crushed by Su Zimo’s palm as the spirit qi within it dissipated into emptiness.
Upon seeing that, the cultivators’ expressions changed drastically.
Even the grey robed cultivator frowned in disbelief as he muttered confusedly, “Thunder art? Is he not actually a Qi Refinement Warrior, but a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?”

Activating the Spirit Peering Art, he scanned Su Zimo once more. “No, it shows him to be at Level 9 Qi Condensation. Could he have cultivated some sort of technique to conceal his cultivation realm?”
“No, that’s not right either!”
The grey robed cultivator shook his head. “How is there no fluctuation in spirit qi when he released that thunder art?”
He would have never imagined that the source of power for Su Zimo’s thunder art came from the latter’s blood!
Even though Su Zimo’s spirit qi was indeed almost withered, the power of lightning in his blood was still present.
“Caw, caw!”
At the moment, little crane who was up in the skies was met with danger. Its body was already severely wounded by the blood-eyed crows as it shrieked anxiously.
Even though senior crane did not mention it explicitly, Su Zimo knew that the reason why little crane could join him was due to senior crane’s trust in him.
Now that little crane was in danger, Su Zimo unleashed his Power of Blood without second thoughts. Instantly, his body echoed out with reverberating sounds of waves gushing!
Under everyone’s watchful gazes, Su Zimo’s figure suddenly expanded. His body swelled and burst through his green clothes, filled with crackling electricity from head to toe.
It was as though Su Zimo was possessed by a god of thunder as murderous intent condensed in his eyes terrifyingly!
“What!”
Suddenly, the grey robed cultivator’s expression changed – he finally realized that something was amiss.
Pointing a finger into the skies, Su Zimo’s eyes exuded a wrathful killing intent as he hollered, “Instant Thunder!”
Snap!
A stark thunderbolt boomed out.
An extremely intense bolt of thunder struck the group of blood-eyed crow, extending like a python exuding a bedazzling shine. The blood-eyed crows were instantly electrocuted to death and fell from the skies like a shower of black rain.
Many of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present were shocked by that deafening sound of thunder. Even the nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators that were surrounding Leng Rou stopped instinctively.
That gave Leng Rou an opportunity to take a breather. Covered in sweat, her spirit qi was almost depleted as well.
Little fatty seized the chance to kill an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator before him. Swinging his gigantic axe, he cleaved the man into two as blood splattered all over him!
The power of thunder arts was so great that it nearly wiped out all the blood-eyed crows in the skies!
Little crane’s spirit was invigorated instantly – the remaining blood-eyed crows were of no threat to it.
At the moment, Su Zimo whisked out a saber from his storage bag that shimmered with a cold glint. His eyes flashed icily as he strode forth, smiling to the Foundation Establishment Cultivators. “The fight… has only just begun!”
That single step of his closed a gap of twenty feet and he appeared before the many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the blink of an eye.
Poof! Poof!
Su Zimo slashed out in reverse. The two of them only felt a blur before their eyes. Before they could even react, both heads were lopped into the skies with blood spraying everywhere.
“Ah!”
The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators were frightened to death as they exclaimed and stumbled back instinctively.
“Do you think you can run?”
Su Zimo chased after them with his saber like a tiger making its way through a flock of sheep. Cleaving left and right, flashes of blood shone out continuously.
Both Leng Rou and little fatty were dumbfounded.
Against Su Zimo, early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators were like fish on a chopping board – they could not retaliate at all!
It didn’t matter whether they summoned flying swords, talismans or even conjured spirit arts – they were all killed by a single flash of Su Zimo!
At lesser mastery of the Marrow Cleansing section, Su Zimo’s power was enough to slay early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators… and that was even before he infused the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Sutra into his marrow within Thunderclap Valley.
This was a complete crushing through sheer brute strength without requiring any technique.
Even the spirit arts of early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators was not enough to deal with Su Zimo after unleashing his Power of Blood!

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
