Chapter 1950: Feng Cantian

Translator: Legge 

Ten Absolute Hell, Raging Flame Formation.

Under the protection of the Hell Suppression Tripod, Su Zimo advanced continuously and walked further and further.

As the Hell Suppression Tripod devoured more flames, the aura of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Soul became stronger and more terrifying. Its lifeforce circulated and could awaken at any moment!

Although the Hell Suppression Tripod could absorb the surrounding flames within the Raging Flame Formation, the temperature within was still unimaginable!

If not for the Green Lotus True Body, his blood qi would have been burned dry long ago!

Su Zimo’s body emitted steam and his lips were already dry.

In fact, there was no sweat left in his body.

His vision turned blurry.

Even so, Su Zimo had no intention of retreating. He locked the blood qi in his body with his powerful will and spirit consciousness and braced himself, advancing towards the center of the Ten Absolute Formation with a resolute gaze.

After a long time, Su Zimo took a step forward and the scorching heat around him suddenly vanished.

“Have I cleared it?”

Su Zimo knelt on the ground and panted heavily, trying his best to open his eyes and look ahead.

His initially blurry vision gradually became clearer.

Right in front of him was a tall and thick stone pillar with ten gigantic chains that soared through the air. The chains were attached to the ten immortal formations on one end and coiled around the gigantic stone pillar on the other.

To be precise, the ten chains bound a person firmly to the stone pillar!

From afar, the person’s body was withered and skinny. His hair was long and messy, covering his face like a pile of dried weeds.

Was this the Thunder Emperor?

Rising slowly, Su Zimo looked at the figure on the stone pillar in a daze and a hint of sadness flashed through his heart.

That high-spirited and invincible expert of the past was suppressed here for hundreds of thousands of years without seeing daylight for the sake of the lower worlds!

His skin was dry like rough bark that had long lost its luster.

His body was so skinny that his bones could be seen clearly.

This once supreme Perfected Immortal no longer had his former glory.

The figure’s head was slumped and his aura was weak. In fact, no one even knew if he was alive.

Who would have imagined that the number one of the Heaven and Earth Rankings, the Supreme Perfected Immortal whose name shook the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, would fall to such a tragic state!

That was hundreds of thousands of years!

Notwithstanding the loneliness over the years, even the mental torture of watching living beings of the lower worlds kill one another at every Hunting Meet was enough to crush a person completely!

Prior to this, Su Zimo had a sliver of hope.

He hoped that a miracle might happen.

He hoped that the Thunder Emperor might be able to break free from his shackles and return to the world.

However, the moment he saw the Thunder Emperor, Su Zimo realized that the latter might not be around anymore.

The person before him was a scrawny old man in his twilight years.

Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo walked towards the stone pillar.

No matter what, as long as the Thunder Emperor was still breathing, even if he was a cripple, he had to do his best to save the latter!

Arriving before the stone pillar, Su Zimo shuddered and his eyes widened.

There was a cold saber on the Thunder Emperor’s chest that pierced his body and pinned him to the stone pillar, rendering him immobile!

The blood around the wound on his chest had already dried up and some pitch-black blood clots could be seen.

Not only was the Thunder Emperor locked here by ten chains, he was even nailed by the saber for hundreds of thousands of years!

Su Zimo could no longer imagine the pain the Thunder Emperor was enduring.

“Senior Thunder Emperor…”

Su Zimo called out softly with a trembling voice.

A long time later, as though he had just heard Su Zimo’s voice, the Thunder Emperor’s head moved slightly and he raised it slowly.

The Thunder Emperor opened his eyes slowly among the messy withered hair.

It was as though the first light after the creation of the world had pierced through the darkness!

His eyes flashed with lightning that was berserk and almost surged out!

Su Zimo’s eyes contained two divine stones, Illumination and Nether Glow. However, the moment he met the Thunder Emperor’s eyes, he felt a sharp pain!

Su Zimo was shocked.

Those eyes seemed to contain endless power.

It was the wrath of thunder!

In that moment, Su Zimo even had an illusion.

It was as though the power contained in those eyes could kill him with ease!

The fact that his eyes possessed such might was proof of the Thunder Emperor’s peerless glory in the past!

When he saw that it was Su Zimo, the Thunder Emperor seemed to be surprised as well and the lightning in his eyes gradually calmed down.

Even so, those eyes possessed a domineering power that could burst forth at any moment.

“It was you?”

The Thunder Emperor said, “You actually cleared the Ten Absolute Formation?”

“I was only lucky to clear the Raging Flame Formation with the help of a treasure,”

Su Zimo was delighted when he saw that the Thunder Emperor was alive and said hurriedly.

The Thunder Emperor raised his eyes slightly and looked at the Bronze Tripod above Su Zimo’s head before retracting his gaze.

Su Zimo bowed deeply to the Thunder Emperor and said in a deep voice, “Senior Thunder Emperor, I’m Su Zimo. Thank you for imparting the Void Thunder Manual to me.”

“Thunder Emperor, Thunder Emperor…”

The Thunder Emperor murmured softly, as though he was reminiscing. A moment later, he said, “There’s no Thunder Emperor in the upper world. My name is Feng Cantian.”

It was only now that Su Zimo knew the Thunder Emperor’s true name.

The Thunder Emperor said, “I won’t be able to last long being trapped here. I no longer have any regrets after imparting the cultivation technique to you.”

“Senior, has your Dao Fruit truly…”

Su Zimo wanted to speak but stopped.

When he saw the lightning in the Thunder Emperor’s eyes earlier on, a trace of hope ignited in his heart.

Perhaps the Thunder Emperor’s Dao Fruit was still around.

“It’s shattered,”

The Thunder Emperor’s voice was calm as his spirit consciousness moved, sending a shattered Dao Fruit fragment out of his consciousness.

Su Zimo finally gave up completely when he saw that.

Back then, Die Yue gave him a complete Dao Fruit of King Yun You’s clone.

However, the Dao Fruit was with the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Furthermore, even if he had a complete Dao Fruit, it could not help the Thunder Emperor recover his cultivation.

Dao Fruits were the essence of a cultivator’s lifetime of cultivation.

Although it could be absorbed and refined, two completely different Dao Fruits could not replace one another.

Su Zimo said in a deep voice, “Senior, it’s fine if you lose your Dao Fruit. Since I can arrive here, I can naturally take you away as well!”

The Thunder Emperor shook his head gently. “I’m bound by the Ten Absolute Chains. Furthermore, I can’t escape with this saber nailed to my body.”

That saber was clearly not an ordinary item. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, it was still cold and sharp!

The Ten Absolute Chains that the Thunder Emperor mentioned should be the ten gigantic and thick chains on his body.

“Senior, endure it. I’ll help you pull out that saber!”

Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo took a step forward and gripped the handle of the saber with both hands.

“Don’t touch that saber!”

The Thunder Emperor’s expression changed as he said hurriedly.
