In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo was a hundred feet away when he heard the fourth drum.
This time, he did not release any divine powers or secret techniques to resist.
That was because he knew that the Dao technique contained in the sound of the Twilight Drum had already surpassed all his strength. Even if he resisted, it would be useless.
Su Zimo could clearly feel the loss of his lifespan.
40,000 years passed in the blink of an eye.
After walking 400 feet, his lifespan had already been reduced by 100,000 years!
It was a wonderful feeling.
Su Zimo controlled a divine power that allowed time to pass, which was Fleeting Youth.
He had once used this peerless divine power to kill a Stage Nine Heaven Immortal and personally saw the other party's lifespan dissipate in an instant.
However, he had never experienced the feeling of his lifespan disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The sound of the Twilight Drum echoed in the hall. Su Zimo carefully sensed the Dao and Dao contained in the depths of the drum. He felt the cruelty of the loss of lifespan when the sound of the Twilight Drum descended.
The reason why Su Zimo chose to continue forward was not because of greed.
Instead, he wanted to use the sound of the Twilight Drum to continue perfecting his Fleeting Youth.
If possible, he wanted to push Fleeting Youth to the extreme, break through some kind of barrier and reach another peak!
Of course, this action was accompanied by great danger.
If he could not comprehend the Dao technique in the sound of the Twilight Drum, Su Zimo's lost lifespan would never be able to recover.
However, all opportunities in the world were accompanied by danger.
The most direct way to comprehend the sound of the Twilight Drum was to test it with one's own body!
Only by experiencing the baptism of the sound of the Twilight Drum and experiencing the profound mysteries of the Dao technique in the sound of the drum would one be able to comprehend it.
"He wants to comprehend the Twilight Drum Dao technique?"
Lang Qianqian seemed to have discovered Su Zimo's intentions and said with a frown.
"Heh …"
Ying Tian chuckled. "He wants to comprehend the Twilight Drum Dao with just ten drum beats? What wishful thinking! Furthermore, he won't even be able to hear ten drum beats before his lifespan runs out and he dies. “
"This might be the only way to break out of this situation."
Lin Luo suddenly understood.
The test left behind by Immortal Emperor Chen Mu was not for everyone to rely on brute force to move forward, but to comprehend his Drum of Dusk technique. Only then would they have a chance to break through and obtain the Violet Cloud Talisman!
Ying Tian, Lang Qianqian, and Jin Yu naturally thought of this as well.
However, even though they knew that the Drum of Dusk was a test left behind by Immortal Emperor Chen Mu, the four of them did not have the courage to continue.
This was too risky!
Who had the confidence to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Drum of Dusk within ten beats?
At this moment, the sound of the fourth drum had completely dissipated and returned to silence.
Su Zimo took a deep breath and continued forward.
Dong!
The fifth drumbeat sounded.
Fifty thousand years of lifespan had passed!
Su Zimo had only covered half of the distance, but he had already lost an entire 150,000 years of his lifespan.
This scene was almost identical to Nie Hun Just Now.
In the eyes of Ying Tian and the others, Su Zimo seemed to be repeating Nie Hun's path. Even the ending was exactly the same.
The drumbeat reverberated for a while and soon calmed down.
Su Zimo closed his eyes and focused on comprehending the Dao technique contained in the Drum of Dusk. He felt the subtle changes in his body at this moment.
Not long after, Su Zimo opened his eyes and continued forward with a determined gaze!
Dong!
The sixth drumbeat sounded.
Sixty thousand years of lifespan had passed.
Su Zimo's body trembled slightly. He had already lost an entire 210,000 years of lifespan!
When Nie Hun reached this step, he had already become a white-haired old man who was nearing the end of his lifespan.
Although Su Zimo looked a little older, his black hair was like a waterfall, his face was ruddy, and his vitality was abundant. He was clearly still at his peak.
Nie Hun was originally 80,000 years old, but he was not even 10,000 years old.
Even after losing 210,000 years of lifespan, he was not more than 220,000 years old. He was still at the peak of a Heaven Immortal!
"He is very young."
With a quick thought, Jin Yu could roughly guess Su Zimo's original age.
"It's not easy to cultivate to this step before reaching 10,000 years old."
Lang Qianqian said, "It's a pity that his age is no longer an advantage. Even if he stops now, the possibility of him reaching the True Immortal Realm in the future is not high. "
"Fellow Daoist, it's not too late to stop now!"
Lin Luo had a worried expression. She looked at Su Zimo's back and suddenly reminded, "If you take another step forward and the seventh drumbeat sounds, you will..."
"Hahaha!"
Ying Tian laughed loudly and interrupted Lin Luo. He mocked, "Not bad, not bad! Su Zimo, if you are afraid and admit defeat, hurry up and retreat. Don't be rash. "
Ying Tian's words were clearly meant to provoke Su Zimo.
If the seventh drumbeat sounds, Su Zimo would lose 70,000 years of lifespan. At that time, he would also be in his twilight years. Everything would be too late!
Lin Luo glared at him and scolded, "Ying Tian, you are too vicious!"
Ying Tian curled his lips and sneered, "This is his own choice. What does it have to do with me? I didn't force him."
"Besides, the halfway point is ninety. Since he has already come this far, he should be firm in his beliefs and continue to move forward."
At that moment, Su Zimo opened his eyes and continued to move forward.
Dong!
The seventh drumbeat sounded.
A shocking change happened to Su Zimo's body as he aged rapidly. His face was filled with wrinkles and his hair was as white as snow. His flesh withered and he exuded the aura of someone past his prime, turning senile.
The lifespan of a Heaven Immortal was three hundred thousand years. Su Zimo was almost two hundred and ninety thousand years old!
"Fellow Daoist!"
Lin Luo blurted out upon seeing this. Her eyes flickered with pity.
"HAHAHAHA!"
Ying Tian burst out laughing in joy.
The man Just Now, he had teamed up with Lin Luo and caused him and Lang Qianqian to suffer a slight loss. How could he not be happy with the outcome?
Now that this person was dead, he could naturally take the treasures on his body for himself.
It would be perfect if he could find the Heaven-Killing Sword Arts and the Earth-Killing Sword Arts.
"I see..."
Su Zimo remained in place. Even though his face was old, his eyes were extremely clear and emitting a bright glow as he murmured.
He had just comprehended the drumbeat of the Drum of Dusk. Even though he had learned something from it, he was still unable to comprehend its true essence.
He finally came to a realization.
Only those in their twilight years would be able to sense the true essence of the drumbeat of the Drum of Dusk, and experience the cruelty of aging!
Actually, this was another test of Immortal Emperor Chen Mu.
Although Nie Hun had also reached this stage and was in his twilight years, his mind was on the verge of breaking down at that time. Even his Dao heart was shaken, let alone comprehend the Dao technique calmly.
Nie Hun's Dao heart collapsed and he gambled everything. In the end, he died from the exhaustion of his lifespan.
The reason why Su Zimo could remain so calm at this point was partly because his Dao heart was strong. His actions were meant to comprehend the Dao technique of the drumbeat of the Drum of Dusk to begin with.
The other important reason was that he had once experienced his twilight years.
He was not unfamiliar with this state.
Back in the Dao Inheritance Ground of Tianhuang Mainland, when he established Wu Dao, he had almost exhausted his lifespan before he succeeded in the end.
Therefore, even though his lifespan was almost up, he could still maintain his composure and comprehend the true essence of the Dao technique of Dusk.
