Withered Star.
He watched as Elder Xuan dragged Su Zimo, who was barely breathing, into the space tunnel. The void had already closed but the Sect Master of the Academy remained calm.
He only lifted his palm and slapped the void space in front of him.
Crack!
A huge force suddenly descended and shattered the spatial tunnel that Elder Xuan and Su Zimo had escaped through.
The two of them fell out of void space and landed on Withered Star.
"You're too naive to think that you can escape from me."
The Academy Patriarch strolled over. He looked calm, and there was even a look of mockery in his eyes.
Elder Xuan had just been injured by the Academy Patriarch. Now, he was shaken again. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked dispirited.
Not to mention escaping, right now, even he himself could not stand still.
"Sigh."
Elder Xuan's eyes dimmed as he sighed in his heart.
Elder Xuan looked at Su Zimo and revealed a look of pity.
He was already in his old age. Even if he died, he had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
However, Su Zimo was too young.
It was too regretful for him to die like this.
Su Zimo didn't do anything wrong. He just had Qinglian's bloodline and was unfortunately targeted by the Academy Patriarch.
Even Elder Xuan couldn't escape the Academy Patriarch's scheme. How could Su Zimo resist the Academy Patriarch?
"I wanted to take you in as my disciple. However, it's a pity that we aren't fated to be in this life."
At this moment, Elder Xuan had mixed feelings. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he laughed and said, "That's good too. You and I can accompany Acheron on the way. At least we won't be lonely."
Elder Xuan was prepared to die.
However, Su Zimo didn't give up!
Since his death couldn't be avoided, he had to do his best to drag the Academy Patriarch into the abyss!
The Patriarch of the Academy reached out and grabbed Su Zimo's forehead.
He planned to imprison Su Zimo's primordial spirit first. While Su Zimo was still alive, he would try to search his soul to find some useful information.
Su Zimo remained expressionless as he silently activated his eye technique.
Whoosh!
His right eye suddenly shot out a beam of dazzling light toward the Patriarch of the Academy!
The distance between them was extremely short, and the Eye Technique was launched instantaneously. It was hard for the Patriarch of the Academy to dodge.
To be precise, the Patriarch of the Academy had no intention of dodging!
When this eye technique landed in his eyes, it was like a stone ox falling into the sea, disappearing without a trace, without even the slightest ripple.
The Patriarch of the Academy paused.
His eyes had also cultivated an extremely powerful eye technique.
Moreover, there was a huge gap between their cultivation levels. That was why he wasn't afraid of Su Zimo's eye technique attack.
The eye technique did not injure him.
However, the Patriarch of the Academy did not expect that he would still feel a scorching pain in his eyes.
"Very good, you've actually made me feel a trace of pain."
The Patriarch of the Academy arrived before Su Zimo and smiled gently. "I'll remove your eyes for you first!"
As he said that, the Patriarch of the Academy extended two fingers and stabbed towards Su Zimo's eyes!
However, the moment the Patriarch of the Academy's fingers made contact with Su Zimo's eyes, they did not manage to pierce through – it was as though they had touched something extremely hard.
Immediately after, the Patriarch of the Academy's expression changed starkly!
A pitch-black drop of ink seemed to seep out of Su Zimo's left eye and spread rapidly, devouring him.
The Patriarch of the Academy's palm was devoured by the darkness before long.
He didn't even feel the slightest bit of pain, and there wasn't even the slightest bit of blood.
However, his palm had already vanished.
The cold darkness continued to spread up his wrist and devour his arm.
The Patriarch of the Academy wanted to retreat.
However, his feet seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and he could not move.
As for himself, he felt as though he was falling into a bottomless dark abyss and could not escape no matter how he struggled!
Finally, a trace of panic flashed through the eyes of the Patriarch of the Academy.
This was Su Zimo's counterattack!
The Illumination Eye earlier on was only for the scene before his eyes!
Back then, when Su Zimo entered the emperor's tomb to retrieve the Seven Dawn Immortal Ginseng, he was devoured by a strange power of darkness and almost died.
Thankfully, the fluorescent stone in his left eye absorbed the power of darkness continuously and he managed to survive.
Eventually, he regrown his flesh with the help of the Seven Dawn Immortal Ginseng.
As such, the terrifying power of darkness was sealed within the fluorescent stone.
Up till now, even though he had already stepped into the True Self realm and Qinglian's true body had grown to grade-12, Su Zimo was still unable to activate the power of darkness within the fluorescent stone.
Since he could not activate it, he could only rely on the power of the Patriarch of the Academy!
Now, seeing the panic in the eyes of the Patriarch of the Academy, Su Zimo's lips twitched and he smiled happily.
The Patriarch of the Academy had divined all the heavenly secrets, fate, human hearts, and karma. However, there were still things that he could not predict!
The Patriarch of the Academy quickly calmed down and snorted coldly. He activated the eight huge doors in the grotto-heaven behind him and charged towards the darkness ahead.
Beams of light shot out from the eight doors, trying to dispel the darkness.
However, the light was completely devoured by the darkness!
Even the eight doors condensed by the Patriarch of the Academy could not withstand the power of darkness and were on the verge of collapse!
"Emperor realm!"
The Sect Master of the Academy gritted his teeth and spat out two words.
Only the pure power of the world released by the Emperor realm would have such a huge impact on his grotto-heaven and the eight doors!
This was not even at the Quasi-emperor level, but the true power of the Emperor realm!
The Patriarch of the Academy could not be blamed for not being able to predict this.
Not to mention a Perfected Immortal, even the body of an Immortal King could not seal such a power of the Emperor realm.
If such a power of the Emperor realm surged into the body of an Immortal King, he would die immediately!
The Patriarch of the Academy would never have thought that such a terrifying power of the Emperor realm would be sealed in Su Zimo's eyes!
Of course, the Patriarch of the Academy used the power of his grotto-heaven and the eight doors to get a chance to breathe and quickly broke free from the darkness.
After all, without the control of an Emperor, this power of darkness could not be unleashed to its true power.
Even so, the Patriarch of the Academy still paid a huge price.
One of his palms had been completely swallowed by the darkness and disappeared.
This power of darkness still remained on his wrist and could not be removed immediately. Naturally, his palm could not be restored.
"Kekeke!"
When Elder Xuan saw this scene, he laughed heartily.
Both Elder Xuan and Su Zimo knew that they could not escape death today.
However, they were in a good mood to see the Patriarch of the Academy in such a sorry state before they died. They had finally won a round.
The Patriarch of the Academy smiled coldly and said, "Don't be so happy. When this darkness dissipates, the two of you will still die!"
The power of darkness sealed in the glowing stones was limited. After being triggered by the Patriarch of the Academy and being released continuously, it would soon be exhausted.
