Eternal Sacred King

Under the impact of the Scarlet Flame Fruit’s searing essence, Su Zimo’s blood was already boiling. Each time he breathed out, his nose would release a scarlet airstream.

The life span of the Perfected Golden Core was at most 500 years.

A flower that blooms and bear only one fruit in a thousand years – What kind of concept would this spirit item possess?

This flow of energy was rich and massive. Su Zimo could not endure it at all. He should count his blessings on having sustained for five minutes with The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.

“Ah!”

Su Zimo hollered at the sky. He had no place to vent out the energy in his body. It was such a torture that he wished to die.

“Bang!”

Su Zimo focused his gaze towards the light but he could not see it clearly as the lakes waters were blocking his view. He could only vaguely see a rock with four words engraved present in the deeper waters. The words were very blurry.

Su Zimo slid both his arms and dived downwards again. After covering some distance, he had already reached the limit of his physique.

Su Zimo opened his eyes wide and looked at that piece of huge rock.

Fire!

Su Zimo distinctively saw ‘fire’, one of the four words on the rock.

The other three words still looked blurry.

Coldness entered his body and Su Zimo shivered all over.

“If this continues, I’m afraid I’m going to die!”

Su Zimo dared not continue. He moved all his four limbs and swam towards the surface of the water.

Soon after, Su Zimo climbed out of the cold lake. There was a layer of frost on his hair and brows. His lips were purplish and his face was ghastly pale.

Swoosh!

Su Zimo panted heavily, white clouds of vapor rising from the top of his head.

“Wowowo!”

Not far away, the spirit monkey chattered while staring at him. He was gesturing to Su Zimo anxiously, seemingly asking how Su Zimo was doing.

“I am fine.”

Su Zimo smiled. After resting for a while, he stood up and left the cold lake.

After this round of ‘torture’, Su Zimo had gained something from the misfortune. He had not only achieved initial success for the Tendons Transformation section but also sealed a massive energy source in his body.

This meant that, henceforth, Su Zimo could cultivate at any point in time to refine and absorb the essence sealed in his body without the need to consume any food or drinks.

Su Zimo’s mood improved tremendously. He patted the shoulders of the spirit monkey and said smilingly, “Damn monkey. Thanks.”

“Chey!”

The spirit monkey glanced at the sky and snorted ‘Hurmp!’. He did reciprocate Su Zimo’s gratitude.

Su Zimo could not stifle his laughter.

This monkey was very proud. Su Zimo understood it’s temperament a little.

Su Zimo stood aside. He stood with his legs apart, parallel to his shoulders, in preparation to cultivate the three styles of Tendons Transformation – Sanguine Ape Tri-style.

Sanguine Ape Fist Seal, Sanguine Ape Fruit Offering and Sanguine Ape Transformation.

The first two styles were killing moves while the third style was the core move. Die Yue once told Su Zimo that one could not casually execute the Sanguine Ape Transformation unless he was on the brink of death.

When he was surrounded by the packs of wolves in the valley, Su Zimo did not release the Sanguine Ape Transformation because he had not attained initial success of Tendons Transformation. If he were to do so, his large tendons would split, his body would explode and he would die on the spot.

Anaconda’s tendons were flexible and resilient whereas ape’s tendons were both strong and soft. The outcome of cultivating ape first would cause the large tendons to burst and split, for they could not withstand the vigorous forces of the constant tugs and vibration. One would become paralyzed.

This was the reason for the need to cultivate the anaconda prior to the ape styles.

Su Zimo rested for a while. His body straightened. With his left fist guarding his chest, his right fist drew an arc in mid-air and smashed downwards.

Sanguine Ape Fist Seal!

Right on the heels of that, Su Zimo retracted his fists, bent his knees and shrunk his body like an agile monkey. Seemingly kneeling with one knee, he put his palms together as if he was holding a fruit and lifted them upwards.

Sanguine Ape Fruit Offering!

Be it name or posture, these two styles did not seem like killing moves.

Su Zimo was baffled. He could not figured it out and had a hunch that he seemed to be missing something.

“Gagagaga!”

At this very moment, a fearless and bold laughter rang in his ears.

Su Zimo looked back. He saw that spirit monkey sitting on the ground, laughing out loud and pointing at Su Zimo. His eyes were filled with contempt. He was only short of writing the word ‘fool’ and similar words on his face.

“I have been looked down upon by this damn monkey again.”

Su Zimo glared at him and said, “What is wrong with you again?”

The spirit monkey stopped mocking. Leaping up, he suddenly dashed towards Su Zimo like an arrow. Both his hands were guarding the chest, his right hand cupped into a fist, drawing an arc in mid-air, charging and aiming at Su Zimo’s head.

“Mmm?”

Su Zimo’s expression changed greatly.

The Spirit monkey’s punch was completely the style of Sanguine Ape Fist Seal. It was exactly the same and even more vicious, filled with a murderous and imposing aura!

Su Zimo did not understand the meaning of the word ‘seal’ in Sanguine Ape Fist Seal previously.

He had a moment of realization at the sight of the spirit monkey smashing down his fist.

The spirit monkey clenched his fist. It’s greenish-black large tendons protruded, it’s flesh and blood expanding. The fist that swelled up like a huge seal suddenly dropped!

There was an explosive sound in the air with this punch!

So, that was the case.

After easing the tendons, one could make use of the strength of the tendons to tighten the flesh and skin. When the tendons and flesh were knitted together, one would use the fist as a seal. This was the essence of the Sanguine Ape Fist Seal!

How much force could a human create by smashing his fist?

However, if a huge seal were to smash directly in the face, what would be the outcome?

Both Su Zimo and the spirit monkey used the same style but at two completely different levels, there was a world of a difference in impact.
