After the seventh drum beat, Su Zimo paused for the longest time.
In the eyes of Ying Tian and the others, Su Zimo would definitely not be able to withstand such a blow and would be stuck in a dilemma. Right now, he was experiencing extreme torture.
If he took another step forward, the eighth drum beat would sound and Su Zimo would definitely die.
However, if he retreated, he would be in his twilight years and would not have much lifespan left.
From his high-spirited state earlier on to his frail state, it was merely a distance of 700 feet and less than 15 minutes – who could withstand such a blow?
After a long time, Su Zimo finally opened his eyes.
With his back facing Ying Tian and the others, they naturally could not see the look in his eyes. It was as though time had passed and the world had changed!
Su Zimo's body was nearing the end of its life. However, the light in his eyes grew brighter!
Under the gazes of Ying Tian and the others, Su Zimo advanced once more!
"Don't …"
Lin Luo spoke instinctively.
"Haha!"
Ying Tian burst into laughter.
"You're too stubborn."
Lang Qianqian shook her head in pity.
Dong!
The eighth drum beat sounded.
However, to Ying Tian and the others' surprise, Su Zimo did not exhaust his lifespan. Instead, he staggered forward a hundred feet.
His footsteps were slow and even staggered. However, his lifespan did not show any signs of exhaustion!
"Hmm?"
Ying Tian's laughter came to an abrupt end.
Lang Qianqian, Jin Yu and Lin Luo were dumbfounded as well.
This time round, Su Zimo did not stop in his tracks and continued forward.
Dong!
The ninth drum beat sounded.
Su Zimo did not collapse and still had 10,000 years of lifespan left!
It was as though the Dusk Drum's Dao technique was useless against him.
"This …"
Ying Tian and the others widened their eyes and were dumbfounded.
In this short period of time, Su Zimo had already walked 900 feet. Logically speaking, his lifespan should have been exhausted and he should have died long ago.
However, he continued forward step by step towards the center of the hall.
"Could something have happened?"
Ying Tian and the others frowned.
"It must be that the Daoist technique of the Drum of Dusk has already dissipated in the hall!"
This thought flashed through Jin Yu's mind. Without making a sound, he secretly activated his movement technique and suddenly rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, he had traversed ten feet.
Dong!
But soon, Jin Yu heard the fourth beat of the drum. His whole body trembled, and he hurriedly stopped in his tracks, his expression ugly.
His lifespan had been reduced by another 40,000 years!
In fact, Ying Tian had also speculated this possibility, but he was extremely cautious and didn't act blindly without thinking.
Now that he saw Jin Yu's expression, he realized that the Dusk Drum's Dao technique was still here, not disappearing.
This meant that it was extremely likely that Su Zimo had already comprehended the Dao technique within the Drum of Dusk, which was why he was able to withstand the impact of this Dao technique!
Seeing that Su Zimo was getting closer and closer to the Purple Cloud Clear Talisman in the center of the hall, Ying Tian's heart was filled with unwillingness.
But very quickly, he felt relieved. He chuckled and said, "So what if this kid can obtain the Purple Cloud Talisman? He lost almost 30 years of his lifespan. The price he paid is too great! "
Lin Luo sneered and said, "Don't tell me you think that Immortal Emperor Chen Mu didn't have a backup plan?"
"What do you mean?"
Ying Tian frowned.
Lin Luo said, "Su Zimo obtained the inheritance of the Dusk Drum Dao Technique. Immortal Emperor Chen Mu set such a test. Would he allow his successor to die from exhaustion?"
Right at this moment, Su Zimo had already arrived at the center of the hall.
Reaching out, he took the Purple Cloud Clear Talisman and placed it in his storage bag.
At the same time, he heard a crisp and distant bell sound that seemed to come from the end of the river of time, containing a mysterious and powerful power.
This bell sound was completely different from the gloomy sound of the drum earlier.
Within the bell sound, life was brimming and all living things were revived!
Under the impact of the bell sound, Su Zimo's body was undergoing tremendous changes as well.
His flesh and blood gradually became plump. The wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared and returned to normal. His white hair turned pitch-black like ink.
His entire being emitted a vigorous vitality. His figure stood straight and his aura surged into the sky. He was even stronger than before!
The lifespan that he had just lost had been fully recovered!
"The sound of the Morning Bell!"
Ying Tian immediately understood what had happened to Su Zimo after seeing this. He uttered each word clearly.
Immortal Emperor Chen Mu had not only left behind the Dusk Drum Dao Technique, but also the Morning Bell Dao Technique.
However, only those who had comprehended the Dusk Drum would have the chance to receive the baptism of the Morning Bell Dao Technique!
For example, although Ying Tian, Jin Yu, and the others also heard the sound of the Morning Bell Dao Technique, they did not have the chance to receive the baptism of the Morning Bell Dao Technique. Their lost lifespan could not be recovered either.
Su Zimo stood at the center of the hall. His flesh, bones, tendons, and organs were receiving the baptism of the Morning Bell and Dusk Drum Dao Technique.
It was the same as receiving a new life after being past one's prime.
Between life and death, under the stimulation of these two extreme forces, Qinglian's true body rapidly grew and transformed. The bottleneck that had troubled Su Zimo for a long time had also loosened!
Su Zimo took a deep breath and plundered the heaven and earth's origin energy around him.
He wanted to use this opportunity to break through to the fifth level of Heaven Yuan Stage in one go!
Just as he made this move, the entire hall underwent a shocking change.
Endless heaven and earth's origin energy surged from the walls of the hall. It almost condensed into a solid substance and turned into streams of air that rushed into Su Zimo's body!
Su Zimo's body seemed to have turned into a huge whirlpool, crazily absorbing the heaven and earth's origin energy around him.
The heaven and earth's origin energy in this hall was too dense. It had far exceeded everyone's imagination!
"How can this be?"
Jin Yu looked around with a shocked expression.
"I know."
Lang Qianqian looked around the hall and seemed to have understood something. She suddenly said, "The entire Jade Clear Hall is completely built with huge pieces of elemental holy rock!"
Hiss!
Ying Tian and the others were shocked.
This Jade Clear Hall was dozens of feet tall. Such a huge hall was actually built with elemental holy rock!
In other words, any random piece of the Jade Clear Hall was an elemental holy rock!
To build such a hall, the amount of elemental holy rock was incalculable. It might have reached hundreds of millions, or even more!
Ying Tian and Lang Qianqian were princes and princesses. Their status was noble and they did not lack cultivation resources like elemental holy rock.
However, the two of them had never seen so many elemental holy rock. All of them were placed in front of them and built into a huge hall!
Such a hall of elemental holy rock, let alone a Heaven Immortal, even a True Immortal would be tempted.
Boom!
At this moment, the energy in Su Zimo's body had accumulated to the peak. He broke through the bottleneck and broke through the barrier, stepping into the fifth level of Heaven Yuan Stage!
A huge amount of heaven and earth's origin energy surged and boiled in his body.
Su Zimo's aura was also rising rapidly!
