Chapter 1273: The War Situation in Arid Triad

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The flames of war burned fiercely in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. The cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn had their own unique cultivation systems. With their powers which they believed to be the only ones that were true, at the moment they rushed out of Arid Triad's gap, they clashed against the first defense formed by the cultivators of the three Great True Worlds.

With an overpowering advantage and while dealing an incredible number of casualties to the cultivators of the three True Worlds… they faced no challenged when rushing forward!

After all, they were cultivators of the fourth era who had inherited their legacies from the second era. There were no dislocations in between eras, no missing parts in their cultivation systems when their legacies were passed down from era to era.

It was unlike for the cultivators from Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. After living through several eras, their cultivation system might look complete, but it lacked a soul. They had the system, but lacked the thoughts contained within it.

The battle… had only lasted for three days, and almost all the cultivators from the three True Worlds in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos had died… Blood filled True Morning Dao World, and torn limbs floated everywhere. Shrill roars had once reverberated through space intensely, but at that moment, all of them gradually faded away. Only a thick stench of blood remained. It spread through the area, bearing witness to the tragic battle.

During it… not a single person from the three True Worlds of Arid Triad had taken even half a step backwards, which was a sight that was rarely seen. Not a single one of them had the thought of retreating. Perhaps they once had, but right behind them were their homes. In the face of the ferocious smiles of the invaders, they watched countless people stand beside them with bloodshot eyes and self-destruct to stop the invaders. After seeing such scenes … no one chose to move back.

Even if they retreated to the end of the universe, if all of Arid Triad stopped existing, what was the use for them to remain alive while gasping for their last breath? Unyieldingness was a subjective word, but it became something corporeal in that battle. It became the source that made all the cultivators from the three True Worlds in Arid Triad to descend into madness.

They continued to self-destruct, continued to fight, and continued to die…

All the cultivators from the three True Worlds in Arid Triad might have died while the loss Saint Defier and Dark Dawn suffered was not great, but the madness from the cultivators of Arid Triad shocked them greatly.

It was… a madness of rather dying than surrendering and lowering one's head. It was a fearlessness that allowed them to give up their all to protect everything they cared about!

They lasted for three days before almost all of them haddied. When all their Enchanted Treasures crumbled, the second army of cultivators from the three True Worlds in Arid Triad arrived.

A war that seemed to be able to continue without stop was lit in True Morning Dao World. The cultivators from Arid Triad were used to the whirlwind in True Morning Dao World, which was why in some sense, it also became a protection of Arid Triad. To the cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn, who were not used to the whirlwind, it was incredibly difficult to handle.

But the difference between their cultivation systems was a ravine that they could not avoid. It meant that the winner of the battle in which countless cultivators had died would not be Arid Triad, no matter what.

Arid Triad could not compare in terms of overall levels of cultivation, and in the face of the countless cultivators from the two Expanse Cosmoses, Arid Triad too, could not compare… The only thing it had was a conviction that allowed its people to fight to the death due to their unwillingness to admit defeat.

Either they would win and Arid Triad would remain Arid Triad, or they would lose, and all the cultivators from Arid Triad would become slaves. They would be enslaved for generations and never be able to lift their heads, never be able to determine their own lives!

How were they supposed to make a choice? There was no choice!

The second army of cultivators from Arid Triad lasted for four days before they crumbled again. All of them died. All of True Morning Dao World turned bloody red, and a thick stench of blood filled the space. The bloody stench was so strong that even the whirlwind could not make it disappear. It could only fill space and accumulate to no end.

The third, fourth, fifth armies…

Five armies of cultivators were deployed, and each was stronger than the last. Their Enchanted Vessels were more astonishing each time, but they had only been able to graze Saint Defier and Dark Dawn's feet while holding them back for most of a month.

Once the Ancient Gods appeared and huge ferocious beasts from Dark Dawn the size of the Ancient Gods came out from the gap, endless ripples appeared in all of True Morning Dao World. The war… ended at that moment.

The appearance of the Ancient Gods, the huge beasts from Dark Dawn, the descent of the Eight Paramount Daos from Saint Defier, and the ferocious appearance of the ten Murderous Saints from Dark Dawn caused the war, which had a power imbalance to begin with, to completely lose its balance. In fact, the scale had disappeared into thin air.

The Sublime Paragon of Sacred Yin was severely wounded, and body and soul of the Sublime Paragon from the Fourth True World were destroyed. When one of the two powerful warriors was injured and the other died, as if dust had finally fallen to the ground, the mourning bell rang in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos!

When the fifth army of cultivators was destroyed, the sixth army did not appear. Instead, in silence, True Sacred Yin World activated their Sealing Rune and completely locked down True Sacred Yin World. They no longer sent any cultivators outwards. Instead, with the act of locking down their entire True World, they began setting up a tight defense.

They had already lost their courage to continue attacking, because they could not see hope. Right then, they could only continue strengthening the power of their Rune, which they had prepared for years, in an attempt to fight against the power of Saint Defier and Dark Dawn.

The Sublime Paragon and many powerful warriors of this True World activated their full strength to make their Rune complete and flawless. This was a passive choice… but they could not see the future even after they made this choice.

After True Sacred Yin World sealed their True World, the Fourth Great True World fell silent, and they too chose to lock down their True World. They stopped sending out cultivators…

During that moment, it was as if there was no longer any force of power that could stop Saint Defier and Dark Dawn's footsteps. An innumerable number of cultivators from the two Expanse Cosmoses spread out to occupy large areas. Once they formed two huge camps, they completely occupied True Morning Dao World, causing this place to no longer belong to Arid Triad.

There was a large number of cultivators who did not join the Ninth Summit previously, and they were scattered all over the True World. They would occasionally engage in a fierce battle against the foreign cultivators, but they were just mere sparks. They could not create a huge blast.

All of True Morning Dao World was reduced to ruin… There was only a bloody stench in space and blood everywhere.

The land of Berserkers could not be seen in True Morning Dao World because when war erupted, all the Berserkers were shifted into the Ninth Summit, the place once belonging to Morning Dao Sect. It was done the moment Su Ming's second senior brother received his message, delivered to him via the True World's will.

When a large number of cultivators descended from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn, True Morning Dao World practically became a galaxy belonging to those two Expanse Cosmoses, and True Sacred Yin World and the Fourth True World were forced to choose to seal themselves, five spots were exposed to Saint Defier and Dark Dawn!

One, the Emperor of Abyss' True World. Two, Ninth Summit. Three… Heavenly Incense Rune. Four, Sun Sinking Talisman. Five… Yin Death Vortex!

The Emperor of Abyss' True World could be said to have been the first to choose to seal itself when the war broke out. The cultivators in there were kept in extremely good condition, as if they were an independent entity, and were not at all connected to the other True Worlds in Arid Triad.

As for Heavenly Incense Rune, Dark Dawn was the first to approach it, but the Heavenly Incense had been extinguished, which made them unable to obtain even a single shred of its life force. They could not use all the preparations they had made and could only give up.

Dark Dawn and Saint Defier were both interested in Yin Death Vortex, but the cultivators from Saint Defier were the first to approach it, as if they had agreed upon this with Dark Dawn, and that was why Dark Dawn did not follow them.

Only the huge Sun Sinking Talisman floating in the galaxy had cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier surrounding it at the same time. Both sides sent out a large number of cultivators to investigate and attempt to activate it.

The last was the Ninth Summit, which was located in the spot previously belonging to Morning Dao Sect. This place… practically became the spot for Saint Defier and Dark Dawn to train their soldiers. The cultivators from the two Expanse Cosmoses were not in a hurry to sweep through Arid Triad, but had instead stationed themselves in True Morning Dao World.

On one hand, they wanted to investigate the Sun Sinking Talisman, and on the other, they wanted to widen the gap, causing it to expand nonstop. At the same time, they trained their soldiers using the Ninth Summit and continuously attacked its Rune.

The entire process lasted for about a month, and by then, the Ninth Summit's Rune was severely damaged, but it did not crumble. However, the cultivators from the two Expanse Cosmoses attacking the Ninth Summit had only become stronger.

It was as if… they had become acclimated to Arid Triad during the month, as if they had stationed themselves in True Morning Dao World to get used to it.

Once that happened and they became capable of bringing forth their full power… the nightmare started.

Sacred Yin was attacked by Saint Defier, and the Emperor of Abyss was attacked by Dark Dawn. Both Expanse Cosmoses deployed their armies to these two True Worlds, and a shocking war broke out…

The Fourth True World looked as if it had been intentionally overlooked. They did not go overboard in provoking them. However, the Ninth Summit was not as fortunate as the Fourth True World. Instead. Its Rune was continuously weakened until it gradually reached the point of breaking.

Outside the Ninth Summit was a large number of cultivators surrounding the sect. They were not in a hurry to break the Rune. In truth, it was useless even if they were in a hurry. The Ninth Summit's Rune had been personally crafted by Hu Xi, but that was not all. True Morning Dao World was Su Ming's clone, and while this clone had lost some semblance of sentience because Su Ming was in Harmonious Morus Alba, he could still use the True World's will to protect a Rune.

As the army of cultivators attacked the Runes beyond the Emperor of Abyss and Sacred Yin, a man and woman stood behind the many foreign cultivators surrounding the Ninth Summit's Rune. They were staring at it coldly.

"I do not understand. This is just a simple Rune and a simple sect. Why are the two Supreme Paragons paying such a high amount of attention to it? They actually retracted the order to attack forcefully… If we could ask the three Supreme Paragons to attack, this Rune would have been reduced to ash in a moment."

The woman was incredibly beautiful while twirling her hair. Her voice was clear, but there was a cold indifference in it.

"I don't understand it either, but our Supreme Paragons are only second to the Lords Saint Defier and the Sovereigns of Dawn. They are near to the level of the envoys of the Lords Saint Defier and Sovereigns of Dawn.

"Their orders must have come from the Lords Saint Defier and the Sovereigns of Dawn. If that is the case, then there is no need for us to persist in it. But speaking of which, I do not know whether you've noticed this… but True Morning Dao World makes me feel uneasy."

The middle-aged man beside the woman was dressed in a blue robe. He had a frown on his face as he stared at Ninth Summit's Rune while speaking languidly.

Chapter 1274: Breaking the Cocoon!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Beyond Arid Triad's gap was Saint Defier Expanse Cosmos, and in it was the 90th Expanse Cosmos among the 180 Expanse Cosmoses there. This Expanse Cosmos was located at the center of Saint Defier, and its galaxy was not black. Instead, there was a faint red glow in it. There were no planets in the galaxy, but there were countless blue threads floating about.

Those threads were all illusory, as if they did not exist, and they looked to be eternally suspended in the air, which gave the galaxy a dreamy air. It was completely different from a normal galaxy.

The people who lived there for a long time would notice that the world outside was different compared to their homeland when they went to the galaxies beyond for the first time.

There were countless bubbles of different sizes in the seemingly endless galaxy within the 90th Expanse Cosmos. At that moment, within a bubble about one hundred thousand feet big were two people, and they were sitting in it.

One of them was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a casual blue long robe. His long hair was tied up and coiled on top of his head in a bun. That person had a face as fair as jade, and he looked gentle and elegant. There was a smile on his face. In his right hand he held a chess piece while he stared at the chess board in front of him with rapt attention.

Sitting across him was an old man in a white robe. This old man was twirling a part of his moustache while he smiled and stared in silence at the middle-aged man, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"I made a wrong move previously, and with just one wrong move, every single subsequent move I made was filled with mistakes."

After a long while, the middle-aged man smiled faintly. He placed the chess piece in his hand by the side and raised his head with an expression filled with various emotions.

"If I can make the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei admit that he made a wrong move, I feel honored," the old man said with a smile. His voice was hoarse, and it sounded as if time flowed from it.

"I made a wrong when playing against the Lord Saint Defier Xuan Jiu, who has remained a Lord Saint Defier since the universe was created, who has never passed down his legacy, and who is the only person who remains as an eternal entity. I can't find myself complaining." The middle-aged man shook his head as he spoke at a moderate pace in a self-deprecating manner.

"But I don't quite understand this. Senior Xuan Jiu, why did you ask to play with me with your divine thought when I was about to descend to Arid Triad?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man lifted his head. There was still a smile at the corner of his lips, but there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and it looked like it was the light that could make the universe lose its color. It was incredibly aggressive.

The old man was silent for a moment before he said languidly with a deep voice, "The chess piece in your hand might not be a chess piece. The chessboard you see might not be a chessboard as well, but no matter what… since we agreed that the first cultivator in Avacaniya Realm sent to Arid Triad would be from Dark Dawn… then I do not wish that this one wrong move would result in subsequent mistakes for the entire game.

"Returning to Arid Triad is the most important thing for the both of us. There can be no error in this. Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, please regard this matter with importance."

The sharp glare in the middle-aged man's eyes grew sharper, and the smile on his lips became colder.

"It's not yet time for Saint Defier to try and control how I do things! As for this chess piece in my hand… It is his honor to be able to become my chess piece. Also… this chess piece in my hand is destined to be my chess piece. He can't escape from my palm."

There was no arrogance on the middle-aged man's face, but the confidence in his words caused his presence to stand above all in the universe.

"And if you end up with a board full of mistakes because of one wrong move?" the old man asked faintly.

"Even if I end up with a board full of mistakes because of one wrong move, the person who made the move is me, and I can restart the board," the middle-aged man said coolly.

"If the chessboard is broken?"

"Then I will create the chessboard again!"

A glint appeared in the old man's eyes as he enunciated his next words slowly. "And if the chess piece became the player?"

"That's impossible!" the middle-aged man said resolutely.

"Perhaps this is indeed impossible… but what if there is another person besides this chess piece?"

"Are you talking about the ant from that Ninth Summit? That person who fused with True Morning Dao World's will is just conceited. How dare he fuse with a True World's will? Right now, he should have long since lost his sense of self. Can he still even be considered human?" the middle-aged man said coldly.

"I sensed something earlier. There was a strange power that spread out from a spot in Arid Triad, and a tunnel was opened. That tunnel went to an unknown spot and exiled some people as if they had been banished.

"Can you do such a thing?" The old man stared at the middle-aged man, and a stern look appeared on his face.

"That's why you did not want us to forcefully attack the Ninth Summit. Instead, you forced down the fighting spirit of those Paragons and chose to stall for time." The middle-aged man's expression was still as cold as ever, and his thoughts could not be read from his words.

"Before we see the light of things and are certain whether he has fused with True Morning Dao World… or whether he has truly replaced True Morning Dao World, I am not willing to offend this person. I also do not want to spread the flames of war and incite this person's wrath.

The old man was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "At that time, the price of causing a chessboard full of mistakes because of one mistake would result in the cultivators from our Expanse Cosmoses being buried by that person's anger because of your command.

"When I mentioned a wrong move, I was not talking about you, but myself. Saint Defier made the wrong choice when we chose our chess piece in the past… Right now, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei is about to descend to Arid Triad, and I do not… want you to continue making mistakes."

The middle-aged man stared at the old man. After a long while, the aloof look on his face disappeared and was replaced by the smile that was as gentle as a spring breeze. He did not speak, but instead stood up and took a step into the distance.

Three steps later, his figure disappeared without a trace from the world of bubbles.

"One wrong move, and a whole chessboard of mistakes… The chess piece isn't frightening. What is frightening is the player you do not see beside that chess piece." The old man frowned and sighed softly. He lifted his head and looked around himself. A hint of determination slowly appeared on his face.

At the center of Dark Dawn Expanse Cosmos was a black galaxy. There was a place filled with ghastly white skeletons in it. They were endless and could not be counted.

There was a middle-aged man who sat at the top of the mountain of the white skeletons.

Needless to say, the man was the person who had been in the world of bubbles. He slowly opened his eyes, and a white light shone in them. A hint of a cold sneer appeared on his lips.

'Xuan Jiu has lived for too long. What made him outstanding is gone, and he became a mountain without a summit… It's just some Ninth Summit and a person who was so conceited that he fused with a True World's will. Why should I be concerned about them?

'He isn't my chess piece, and he isn't even worthy enough to be my chess piece. My piece… is in the Emperor of Abyss' True World.'

The middle-aged man stood up slowly. When he took a step forward, the mountain of white skeletons behind him rotated. The entire mountain range swayed and turned into a sea of white skeletons. They spun beneath the man's feet before they swept him up and rushed through the galaxy at an extreme speed. He charged… towards Arid Triad's gap.

When the flames of war spread through Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, Yin Death Vortex continued rotating. A strange power seemed to have appeared in it, causing all the people from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to find it hard to take even half a step inside.

It was just like with the Antecedental Spirit's disaster. Even if it could enter Yin Death Vortex, it would be weakened.

Yin Death Vortex continued to remain mysterious in other people's eyes, as if it would continue rotating eternally.

The depths of Yin Death Vortex were connected to the vortex belonging to Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, which was like a mirror reflecting Arid Triad. At that moment, all of Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos had descended into silence. Every single operation in the Expanse Cosmos had come to a stop… except for the cocoon Su Ming had turned into at the spot where he and his other self had fought in True Sky Hill World.

The cocoon was only about a hundred feet tall. From the distance, it did not seem eye-catching. There was no mighty pressure spreading out from it or any astonishing presence. It was so common-looking that it seemed incredibly ordinary.

But right beside it was a sight rarely seen—Harmonious Morus Alba's will had personally descended there. It surrounded the area, and with the entire Expanse Cosmos frozen, it prevented all interruptions from the outside world. It cared about this. It protected Su Ming, and it looked forward to his emergence. As the days passed, its care, protection, and expectation grew stronger.

It would not allow a single accident to happen to Su Ming's metamorphosis. It would not allow him to fail, because his appearance, his fusion with the Child of Morus Alba, the possession of the wills of two Great True Worlds… all of these things were filled with the possibility of variation.

In its mind, Su Ming was not the person who fused with a Child of Morus Alba, but… the first person who fused with a Child of Morus Alba while possessing the wills of two Great True Worlds.

The implications behind this were completely different from everything that had happened before. In fact, to Harmonious Morus Alba's will, the Children of Morus Alba were not its children, but servants. When they fused with a person from Arid Triad, they would either continue being its servants or become a part of Arid Triad. It did not care about which came to be.

But Su Ming had Possessed Morning Dao and Immortal Sect, which was why a cocoon had appeared after he merged with the Child of Morus Alba, and since he was a cocoon… in some sense, while he was in the cocoon, Su Ming was already an existence in the same Realm as Harmonious Morus Alba and Arid Triad. In fact, he was already a race they acknowledged!

That was why Harmonious Morus Alba paid so much attention to him!

It seemed to have seen a vague form of hope from Su Ming. That was the first time… it saw hope after countless years and after countless eras had transitioned from one to another.

It was the hope to return home!

In the countless eras it could no longer count, it heard its home calling to it more than once, but it could not find the hope to return there. During that moment, however, that hope had been magnified endlessly. Even if it was Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos' will, it still trembled as its hope continuously grew.

It was different from Arid Triad. Compared to the aloof and nearly numb Arid Triad, it possessed thoughts and emotions that were similar to those of a human being. That was why there would be three Children of Morus Alba in the place, while there was no such thing in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.

Time trickled by, but not much time of it passed…

One day, when a light cracking sound traveled through the silent galaxy, Harmonious Morus Alba's will surrounded the cocoon in an excited manner. The cracking sounds grew in number, as if the cocoon was shattering from within.

The cracking lasted for a period of time. Eventually, a thin crack appeared on the cocoon's surface. It slowly spread out. When a clear cracking sound spread out incredibly distinctly, the crack widened to a breadth of a finger. Not a single sliver of light spread out from within, but all those from beyond could see into the cocoon.

They could see that there was a young man with his eyes closed inside. He was naked and looked like he was sleeping calmly. He had a head full of black hair, and his face was so fair that he looked sickly pale. The third eye at the center of his brow was not vertical, but a horizontal line. Above it was another vertical line…

That vertical line was like a cut that penetrated the third eye.

It looked like a cross, but the moment Su Ming opened his eyes and the third eye flew open, the cross… looked like a butterfly that had spread its wings!

Chapter 1275: He… is Arid Triad!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Ming opened his eyes.

His right eye looked seemed to contain countless planets in it. They had endless Yin Death Aura, and it was… Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos' True Immortal Sect World.

His left eye was a void. It was empty, like a ruin, and a calmness that felt like dead stillness spread out from it, but in that empty space was a bright sun, and it… was the current True Morning Dao World.

The two Great True Worlds had perfectly fused with Su Ming's will. When he closed his eyes, he was a True World, and when he opened his eyes, he was Su Ming.

The vertical line at the center of his brow marking his third eye was reminiscent of a butterfly when it spread its wings, which caused Su Ming to look like a powerful warrior from Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos but also a Child of Morus Alba from Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos.

However… he was a Child of Morus Alba who was different from all the rest and was one whose existence was unprecedented.

His skin was incredibly pale, which made it look like didn't have a lot of power. In fact, he gave off the feeling that he was very frail and weak, but with this sort of body, when Su Ming opened his eyes and extended his right hand out of the cocoon to tear it slightly open, an astonishing power erupted from him. It was so strong that it would make a person feel as if there were blades cutting into their eyes when they saw it.

Cracking sounds spread out as Su Ming tore the crack on the cocoon wider. Then, he lifted his left hand, and the cocoon was instantly ripped apart both ways, allowing Su Ming to slowly walk out from within.

He walked out naked, but the next moment, he turned his head around and swung his right hand. The cocoon immediately melted to turn into a white robe that covered his body.

He stared at the galaxy before slowly closing his eyes again. He could sense that his body had become unprecedentedly stronger. He felt complete, from having merged with his other self from this Expanse Cosmos. His physical power… felt like it no longer had any flaws!

All lives practiced cultivation because they wanted to mend the flaws in their bodies, but at that moment, it was clear that no flaws could be detected in Su Ming's physical body any longer… because he was complete!

A body without flaws gave Su Ming a strong feeling that even if he came face to face with a cultivator in Avacaniya Realm… it would be hard for them to affect him.

His soul had also become complete. His level of cultivation might still be stuck at only having his spirit ascend once, but at that moment, Su Ming was very certain that he could have his spirit ascend up to five times.

The endless path of the powerful was now clearly presented before Su Ming. After a long while… he opened his eyes. At the instant he did so, he… sensed the entire True World move.

Or rather, all of Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos was moving. This sort of movement was a constant. It moved at all times, but since he was in the Expanse Cosmos, he did not notice it.

And only Su Ming could sense it, since his will was in two True Worlds. It was also because his life had become complete at that moment that this feeling became even clearer.

Not only was Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos moving, Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos… was also moving. They were both moving based on a fixed pattern.

"Tell me the truth."

After a long while, Su Ming spoke languidly. There was not a single person who could be detected around him, but Su Ming's voice still echoed in space, because he could sense a huge will so great that it was indescribable in the area. Su Ming did not find it unfamiliar.

He understood that this familiarity came from his other self, and the vast will that was familiar to him… could only be Harmonious Morus Alba from this Expanse Cosmos.

"There is no truth…"

A muffled voice with a thick ancient air echoed around Su Ming. That voice might have appeared suddenly, but it gave off a feeling that it should have always been in this galaxy.

"If there is truly one… then you can try to perceive it yourself. I will… let you perceive it."

The muffled voice echoed in space calmly, as if there was not a single shred of emotion contained in it, but when it landed in Su Ming's heart, he could detect plenty of emotions, such as anguish, resignation, lamentation, and melancholy…

At the same time the voice appeared, Harmonious Morus Alba's will swiftly rushed at Su Ming and instantly enveloped him. It extended outwards until it touched his body, but did not forcefully seep into him. Instead, it stopped.

A thought appeared in Su Ming's head. In silence, he did not choose to resist, but instead had his divine sense scatter, allowing Harmonious Morus Alba's will to fuse into him, and at that instant… it became connected to his will.

Su Ming's mind instantly roared. His vision became blank, as if his soul had left his body and was continuously rising, rising, rising…

Ten thousand years seemed to pass, but it also seemed as if only a moment was gone. When Su Ming's mind became clear, he saw… a scene that he would never forget, a scene that shook his soul.

It was a vast, empty space. No planets could be seen. No dazzling light could be detected. It was just like the beginning of any galaxy… There was no end to this place, only a vastness that could not be described with words.

In that vast space, Su Ming stared into the distance. He saw light. It was a colorful light, and as wings flapped, the light gradually entered his eyes.

There were… nine butterflies!

There were nine butterflies in this vast galaxy, and they were the only things that existed there, only things that flapped their wings, and only things that caused Su Ming to focus his attention on them!

The nine butterflies were of different sizes. Their wings might be colorful, but there were slight differences between each of them. They flew in the galaxy and were the most dazzling scene within it.

"They… are all Harmonious Morus Albas. They are born along with the universe, and they take on the shape of the universe itself…"

Harmonious Morus Alba's muffled voice reached Su Ming's ears. It lasted for a long time in space and sounded nostalgic.

Su Ming stared at the vision in a daze. He could not tell which of the butterflies was the Harmonious Morus Alba he currently existed in. As he continued observing in silence, he saw the nine butterflies gradually fly into the distance, as if not even they knew where they belonged to.

In fact… there was one butterfly that seemed to be sentimentally attached to this galaxy. It grew slower before it eventually stopped, as if it did not want to continue flying into the distance. The other eight butterflies circled around it a few times, as if they were saying their goodbyes to it before they left.

At that moment, only one butterfly remained in the vast galaxy. It circled around the area. When it flapped its wings, it felt as if the entire galaxy trembled. When its wings overlapped with each other, it felt as if they became only one wing, and during that moment, the entire galaxy fell into dead silence.

Gradually, the butterfly stopped moving and no longer flew or circled around the area. Instead, it quietly stopped moving and looked… to have closed its eyes.

But it was still moving its wings slightly.

"It is me…" Harmonious Morus Alba's voice echoed in Su Ming's ears. There was a melancholic tone in that voice, along with very complicated emotions. It was as if it was feeling sentimental about a period of time in the past.

Its wings were colorful and very complicated, but if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to tell that the patterns on the wings were exactly the same. When they overlapped with each other, it became even more difficult to tell them apart…

When he saw this, Su Ming's heart trembled with a bang. He saw the right wing of the butterfly in front of him grow endlessly larger. The colorful picture on it too grew larger, and as it continued without stopping, Su Ming saw a galaxy contained in it.

That wing was a galaxy!

It seemed to contain a border, but in truth, this border was difficult to discern. In that galaxy, Su Ming saw various lives be born. He saw the galaxy being split apart, and Almighties appearing to lead all forms of life…

Countless powerful warriors showed up, and some of them even made Su Ming's heart shudder when he looked at them. Time seemed to flow faster, and it felt as if one hundred thousand, one million, and an even longer period of time passed.

When the lives in the galaxy in the right wing reached the peak in their development and a certain number of Almighties appeared, one day, the butterfly flapped its wings slowly, and they two wings overlapped with each other.

At the moment they overlapped with each other… Su Ming saw the destruction of all lives. The galaxy in the right wing was not the only one destroyed. Arid Triad, which existed in the left wing, was also destroyed.

This… was one aeon!

"This is… antecedent of the truth you want."

Harmonious Morus Alba's will sighed softly. Its ancient voice echoed in Su Ming's mind again and lingered there.

Each time Harmonious Morus Alba's wings overlapped, one aeon would pass. Su Ming stared at all of this in a daze. The wings were two galaxies, and in the middle was the body of the butterfly. At that moment… Su Ming remembered the vortex known as Yin Death and Bright Yang!

After an unknown amount of time passed, he saw the butterfly spread its wings… and a new aeon was born.

New lives appeared, new Almighties astonished the universe, the wings overlapped again… and another aeon was over!

The cycle of destruction and birth continued. The aeons intersected with each other before leaving. Su Ming saw too many lives, up to a moment he forgot just how many aeons he witnessed.

He saw the birth of the galaxy in the left wing, saw the destruction of the galaxy in the right wing. He saw the disaster that appeared every single time the wings overlapped with each other, and the birth of new lives when two Expanse Cosmoses appeared at the same time.

It was indeed just like a mirror. The interior and exterior of the mirror was the exact same.

It seemed to be an ancient law in the universe which no one could change. It could only continue operating in this manner without end. They could only search for the eternity they longed for but could not find between thr destruction and birth.

This lasted until one aeon. Su Ming saw the birth of a life in the galaxy in the left wing. This life was born an ordinary mortal, and he watched his entire life… until he stood on the peak and became the Chosen of the galaxy.

His power was matchless. In fact, when Su Ming observed him, he found that this person was… the most powerful person who had ever appeared in the two Expanse Cosmoses on the butterfly's wings!

When that person was born, another version of him appeared in the galaxy in the right wing. Since the two of them were one, when the version of this person became a Chosen in the left wing, the other version in the right wing also stood at the peak of the universe.

The butterfly's wings were about to overlap soon. Right when the world was about to be destroyed… That person… chose to become the first form of life to fuse with his other self in the right wing, and he became the first life in the butterfly's Expanse Cosmoses to reach completion!

"He… is Arid Triad!"

Chapter 1276: Truth!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The voice of Harmonious Morus Alba's will was filled with complicated emotions when it reached Su Ming's ears. It seemed to contain a deeply rooted hatred, but there also seemed to be a hint of respect contained within it.

'Arid Triad…"

Su Ming's heart trembled. He was so shocked that a storm stirred in his soul, and it was no less stronger than the shock he felt when he saw the disaster formed by the butterfly's wings when they overlapped with each other.

It was also during this moment that Su Ming came to a swift understanding. Perhaps Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos did not have a name at the earliest point of time… until this person appeared, and only then was Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos… known as Arid Triad!

Su Ming forced down the tremors in his heart. His eyes burned brightly. When he focused his attention on that person, he saw the man who was Arid Triad become complete when he fused with his other self in the right wing.

When he became complete, he chose to sit down cross-legged in the galaxy and became quiet, as if he had fallen asleep to wait… for the day the wings would overlap. Su Ming watched this person, and he felt as if he could sense the unwillingness to give in and the madness coming from his divine thoughts.

He was unwilling to accept that he would be destroyed by the disaster. That was why he gained a crazed thought. He wanted… to Possess the butterfly's two Expanse Cosmoses. He wanted to become Harmonious Morus Alba, and he wanted to make this Harmonious Morus Alba… transform into Arid Triad!

The butterfly's wings overlapped with each other. When the disaster of the aeon descended, the person opened his eyes, and for the first time ever in history, he tried to Possessed Harmonious Morus Alba!

All lives were destroyed. He… succeeded, but also failed.

Harmonious Morus Alba's counterattack, the life and death Possession. He succeeded because he obtained one of the Expanse Cosmoses during his Possession. He completely occupied Harmonious Morus Alba's left wing, turning that place into Arid Triad!

He also chased away Harmonious Morus Alba's will from Yin Death Vortex, which existed between the wings, causing the vortex to truly become a vortex from then on, a tunnel that connected the two Expanse Cosmoses together.

When he chased Harmonious Morus Alba out, he completely suppressed Harmonious Morus Alba's will in the right wing. This made it unable to venture outwards, so it could only fight against him in a passive manner.

They might have seemed to be on equal grounds, but in truth, since the man was the one who took the initiative to Possess Harmonious Morus Alba, he could be considered to have succeeded and have gained the upper hand.

But he had also failed, because he did not manage to replace Harmonious Morus Alba's will completely. He had only managed to complete half of his plan.

A new aeon began, and the wings split apart. Arid Triad sank into deep slumber, waiting… for the next time the wings would overlap.

New lives appeared in his Expanse Cosmos, but they no longer belonged to Harmonious Morus Alba… but to Arid Triad.

When that aeon was over, the butterfly's wings gradually overlapped again. Arid Triad, who had waited for an entire aeon, woke up from his slumber. In each aeon, the two Expanse Cosmoses would only overlap once, and he only had one chance. Hence, he seized that chance to Possess the butterfly's right wing and Harmonious Morus Alba's will again.

One aeon, and another… and many more aeons passed. Every time Harmonious Morus Alba's wings overlapped, their wills would come face to face with a difficult test. In the beginning, Harmonious Morus Alba's will would fight back with full force, but in the end, it would have to hide itself. It did not want to be Possessed and devoured. That was why every single time its wings overlapped with each other, it would instinctively hide itself.

It had hid itself up to that moment. As the aeons passed, it became a guess mentioned by the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe. He guessed that Arid Triad seemed to be searching for something, and during that moment, his guess was verified by Su Ming.

Arid Triad was searching for the hidden Harmonious Morus Alba to complete the Possession he did not manage to complete in the past.

Perhaps, after so many aeons, Arid Triad, once a cultivator, had long since forgotten his previous life and that he had gained the crazy thought of Possessing Harmonious Morus Alba because he did not want to be destroyed by the disaster. He had… forgotten all of this.

Instead, he had grown used to being the will of an Expanse Cosmos. When the wings split apart, he fell asleep, and when the wings overlapped with each other, he woke up, destroyed the world, and searched for Harmonious Morus Alba.

"This is the truth you want."

Harmonious Morus Alba's muffled voice echoed in Su Ming's ears once more. There was a sigh contained within them. When it echoed in Su Ming's ears, the world he saw became an illusion. When the view before his eyes became clear again, he found himself back in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos. He was still in True Sky Hill World's galaxy. The area around him was still empty, and the entire Expanse Cosmos was in a state of silence that seemed to last for eternity.

Su Ming was silent. All sorts of thoughts appeared in his head. Everything he saw just then gave him deeply complicated feelings. He had never thought that Arid Triad was once a cultivator!

He had tried to Possess Harmonious Morus Alba and succeeded halfway, occupying its left wing and becoming Arid Triad's will.

Su Ming had also never expected that the world in which he lived was actually a butterfly's wing, and it was born in the vast galaxy. The butterfly was a life form that was difficult to describe. It exceeded Su Ming's imagination, and it caused him to fall silent.

'So… Arid Triad is indeed asleep, and he was once a cultivator.

'So… the disaster that occurs once Arid Triad wakes up was once Harmonious Morus Alba instinctively destroying everything, but later on, it became a chance for Arid Triad to search for Harmonious Morus Alba…

'So this is what is happening…'

Harmonious Morus Alba's will was silent for a moment, then it asked slowly, "How… will you choose?"

Su Ming was still silent. He understood what Harmonious Morus Alba's will meant by its question. It wanted him to choose a position… but emotionally, Su Ming leaned more towards Arid Triad, because Arid Triad was once a cultivator as well. He was unwilling to be destroyed by the disaster, which was why he wanted to Possess Harmonious Morus Alba, and this was something similar between them.

But while Arid Triad had succeeded in half of his plan, he was still Arid Triad's will. He did not choose to stop the disasters. The overlapping of the wings and the subsequent destruction was exactly the same as before he Possessed Arid Triad.

The disasters still remained. The destructions still remained. However, from then onwards, Harmonious Morus Alba was not alone. Arid Triad was added into the mix.

"The overlaps and destructions aren't something I can control with my will. To me, the lives in the Expanse Cosmoses in my wings, their existences and their eventual passing are all in the process of my wings splitting up and overlapping. They are just another form of life born on my body.

"Perhaps this is my mission from when I was born in this vast galaxy… but I have also pondered over a question for a long time…

"Since you are all lives born on my body… then on whose body am I born? When my wings split up and eventually overlap, you will die. This isn't my will, but my wings' instincts. Unless I die, it's impossible for my wings to stop moving… and if I die, all of you will cease to exist.

"Then will I… disappear when another entity instinctively breathes, and it is an action that it cannot control?

"This is how all things began, whether it is your life, my life, or how all lives began."

Harmonious Morus Alba's voice was ancient and sentimental. It spread out and traveled into Su Ming's ears, causing him to fall silent, and understanding mixed with further confusion appeared in his mind.

"Arid Triad is the first person to fuse his two selves from the two Expanse Cosmoses together. He became a complete entity, and there were others after him who managed to do the same.

"But no one was able to compare to him, because they cannot Possess me and Arid Triad at the same time, which is why they were bound to fail, and it is also why they did not dare to do such a thing.

"Even after I gradually grew to have my own consciousness and started choosing lives who can communicate with me in my Expanse Cosmos and naming them the Children of Morus Alba, none of them were up to my expectations.

"Until… you appeared. I saw hope. You could Possess Arid Triad's True Morning Dao World because your other self was a Child of Morus Alba in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos.

"The other selves of the other Children of Morus Alba in Arid Triad were unable to do what you did either… That is why you… are different. You are the only one who can help me threaten Arid Triad.

"Help me. I don't want to continue staying here. I… want to go home. I want to search for my companions. I've stayed here for far too long, I want to find them…

"Help me… Possess Arid Triad and… tear down my left wing… Let me leave… The torn left wing will be my gift to you. Help me, or else… when the wings overlap, all of your friends… will be reduced to ash under this disaster!

"You might have become complete after you fused with your other self and became an existence the disaster will not be able to destroy, but your friends, your family, and everything belonging to you will become a relic of the past.

"If you help me, you will also be helping yourself, because even after you've become complete and will no longer be affected by the disaster, you will sink into slumber so deep it will seem as if it will last for eternity. You can only wake up one hundred years before the wings overlap every time. Then one hundred years after the wings part, you must fall asleep again.

"You will only have two hundred years of wakefulness in each aeon. For the rest of the time, you will have to be asleep, or else, you will be unable to withstand your own body waning in health every single time the aeons switch places.

"Even if you remain awake, you will no longer have any semblance of humanity. Living that way… is no different than being dead. In fact, it is even worse. Then, you will choose death, because you will not want to live like that."

As Harmonious Morus Alba's will's words echoed in the air, Su Ming's heart trembled, and he lifted his head.

This was the first time he had heard that. A huge storm raged in his heart, and it instantly caused a myriad of thoughts to appear in his head.

He had never thought that he would be indestructible under the disaster after he fused with his other self. By the looks of it, there were… a number of powerful warriors who fused with their other selves in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos and Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos. They struggled to live under each disaster, but they could only wake up one hundred years before the disaster!

In fact, during that instant, amid all those thoughts in his mind, Su Ming suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the secrets of the universe…

In that scene, all the people beside him had died. Only he remained standing in the galaxy filled with countless corpses as he roared at the heavens in grief…

"You cannot take away any person from this place either. Even if they used a unique method to enter the vortex… they would never be able to step foot in Arid Triad. Once they went there, Arid Triad would send a disaster on them, because their wills were different!

"Even you will not be able to withstand that disaster!

"If the same two people from two different Expanse Cosmoses appear in the world in the vortex, those two people… will be instantly wiped off at the same time. This is the law in the world in the vortex. It is also Arid Triad's will. With a strength greater than mine, he set down this eternal law." Harmonious Morus Alba's voice caused Su Ming to fall silent.

After a long while, Su Ming's eyes sparkled swiftly. His voice was ghastly when he spoke.

"How can I help you?!"

Chapter 1277: How Many Wings Does a Butterfly Have?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"When the wings overlap, the disaster will fall, and during that instant, the will of Arid Triad will be in a state of sleep and wakefulness. It will also be the moment where it is at its most dozed. That moment… will be the only moment where you can Possess it!

"I cannot show myself to help you. Unless you Possessed most of Arid Triad and are just a sliver away from success, I will not appear.

"But… I can open up all of Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos for you. You can train at will here. In fact… I give you another True World's will so that you can Possess it!

"By doing so, if you can Possess another True World in Arid Triad, then you will have four True Worlds in your Possession, and you will obtain the right to Possess Arid Triad.

"I can also teach you… a divine ability Branded in my mind when I was born. The name of the divine ability was Butterfly Metamorphosis. You've only managed to understand the bare basics of it. Once I give it all to you, activate this Art at the critical moment when you are Possessing Arid Triad…" The muffled voice of Harmonious Morus Alba's will was filled with excitement during that instant. It echoed in Su Ming's ears, causing Su Ming to fall silent.

"Once you Possess it, tear down my left wing, and this will be the greatest help for me…"

Su Ming was still silent. The excitement in Harmonious Morus Alba's will slowly turned into a lingering note in space. The entire True World gradually sank into silence.

"Aren't you worried that once I successfully Possess Arid Triad, I won't fulfill my promise?" After a long while, a barely noticeable glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes as he said faintly.

"During the period of time Arid Triad's will came into existence, I sighed, more than once. I sighed and wondered what would have happened if I chose to self-destruct during the one hundred years I noticed I was Possessed.

"But a pity. The slight sliver of hope for survival had caused me to miss the chance to choose self-destruction, and even lose the right to do so. I could only hide after that and not dare to show myself.

"However… if there is someone who will Possess Arid Triad or Possess me again, then it will mean that everything will return to the start. During the one hundred years after I was Possessed, I will have one chance to self-destruct.

"The result… will be that I cannot return home and I will disappear from then on, but the price will be that the person who Possessed the two Expanse Cosmoses will vanish without a trace. From then on, not a single trace of anything about me will be left in this universe," Harmonious Morus Alba's will remained silent for a moment before it said languidly.

"Helping me will also mean that you're helping yourself. You are helping yourself create an endless future and a serendipity!

"If you don't help me, I will still exist. I will still hide. Perhaps after an unknown number of aeons later, I will be made to merge with Arid Triad, but during that process, you will have to bear with the fate of all your families and friends' deaths. All the people you knew during the aeons will eventually die wretched deaths, and you… will have to face the fate of waking up only for two hundred years in each aeon while sleeping for the rest of the time… and as each aeon passes, you will become weaker.

"You will realize… that living is more painful than dying.

"Once I am devoured, everything will be remade… and you will be buried in the past. During the process of everything being remade, you will be wiped off for all eternity.

"Similarly, if you choose to help Arid Triad… then you should know how you will end up, considering you know very well about the schemes between cultivators and how the strong prey on the weak. I do not even need to tell you about it.

"If you choose to agree to help me but turn against me in the end or Possess me, you know full well what will happen to you… Unless you submit to fate… you have no other choice." The voice of Harmonious Morus Alba's will traveled into the area calmly, causing Su Ming's expression to become even darker.

'I don't have any other choice..?' Su Ming did not speak. In truth, Harmonious Morus Alba's will had not promised Su Ming anything, and neither did it give him many things. It promised him that he would own the left wing, but if Su Ming truly Possessed Arid Triad, he would not need Harmonious Morus Alba's blessing. The left wing was already his, there was no need for him to be provided that blessing.

With Su Ming's soul, he could also Possess one of the wills in this True World's Expanse Cosmos. There might be some difficulties in this, but it was by no means any sort of gift. However, it would still make Su Ming's Possession of Arid Triad to be easier.

The Butterfly Metamorphosis was also not any form of legacy. This was something Harmonious Morus Alba's will must do for itself.

It could be said that Harmonious Morus Alba had used the most straightforward method not to provide help for Su Ming… but to tell him all about the truth in detail.

It told him everything and did not hide too many details from him. It allowed Su Ming to know of his situation and know of all the paths in his future. If he understood, then it would be beneficial for the both of them… and that would be enough.

"Then… what sort of existences are the 360 Expanse Cosmoses that form Saint Defier and Dark Dawn? Could it be that there are other butterflies beside you who have reached perfection?" Su Ming remained silent for a while before he suddenly asked. This was his final question.

This question had remained constantly in his mind after he came to understand Harmonious Morus Alba, and since Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos was a mirror of Arid Triad, there was also a gap in Harmonious Morus Alba serving as a reflection of Arid Triad's gap, and Su Ming had noticed it when he had his will fill the place.

Then surely, there should also be a Dark Dawn and Saint Defier beyond this gap!

"Other butterflies..? No. I am the only in this vast galaxy… My family is in the distance… I stopped midway to watched the beautiful galaxy… but because of it, I have practically been made to stop here for all eternity. I can't find my family, I can't locate them…" There was a melancholic tone in Harmonious Morus Alba's voice. Its voice lingered, and there was a sigh in it.

"As for the Saint Defier and Dark Dawn you speak of… They exist in real Expanse Cosmoses as well, but they are not beyond me. They are also on my wings." Harmonious Morus Alba remained silent for a moment before it answered languidly.

"The so-called gap… is in truth not a gap."

"I don't understand." Su Ming frowned. These words caused him to be in slight confusion. He could not grasp the meaning behind it. He still could not quite understand how Saint Defier and Dark Dawn, which were both beyond Arid Triad's gap, could possibly be on the butterfly.

In fact, in Su Ming's thoughts, perhaps Saint Defier and Dark Dawn had been able to leave in the past because… Arid Triad had agreed to it. In fact… there was a high possibility that Arid Triad had also given its tacit agreement for the formation of the gap that had appeared in Arid Triad this time.

And this… was what Su Ming could not understood. If Arid Triad and Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos were the two wings on the butterfly… then where were the Expanse Cosmoses of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier located?

"How many wings did I have on my body when you saw me in my memories?" Harmonious Morus Alba's voice echoed around Su Ming calmly.

"Two wings… hmm?" Right when Su Ming spoke, his eyes immediately focused swiftly. He stopped speaking abruptly. There was brilliant light shining in his eyes. His heart roared loudly during that moment as well.

"It's not just two wings… but four wings!!" The butterfly he saw previously immediately appeared in Su Ming's mind. The butterfly had two huge wings, but when it flapped its wings, there were two slightly smaller wings. However, they looked as if they were connected. In fact, when they moved, they moved at the same pace with the larger wings. That was why Su Ming ignored their existences, instead treating them as a part of the two wings!

But in truth, the butterfly did not have two wings… it had four wings!!

During that instant, Su Ming came to an instant understanding that the two big wings were Arid Triad and Harmonious Morus Alba, and one of the two small wings was Saint Defier and Dark Dawn… while the other was an Expanse Cosmos connected to Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos!

"Then…" Su Ming's eyes sparkled brilliantly, just as he was about to speak, the low voice of Harmonious Morus Alba's will gradually traveled into the air.

"I know what you want to ask. You want to ask whether there is a will in those two small wings… I told you before that Arid Triad is stronger than I am. That is why he can come searching for me on his own, and why I have to hide from him.

"But you didn't ask me… why he is stronger than me.

"Because he had also Possessed the small left wing originally belonging to me, and I… was forced to give up on the small right wing when I was fighting against Arid Triad. I hid myself in the world in the big right wing." In Su Ming's ears, Harmonious Morus Alba's voice sounded as if it came from very far away, because at that moment, Su Ming was so shocked that he had a storm raging in his heart.

Only during that moment did he understand that this so-called disaster of Arid Triad and Dark Dawn's descent was in truth… tacitly agreed upon by Arid Triad, because to Arid Triad, it did not matter whether it was Saint Defier or Dark Dawn, they were one!

Yet hilariously enough, Saint Defier and Dark Dawn did not know this at all. Perhaps there were people who knew this, but most would definitely not know about this. They thought that had descended to invade Arid Triad, but in truth, they were also one.

'Then why did Arid Triad do this?! Even if it's asleep, it also wanted to drive this matter into its development… besides searching for Harmonious Morus Alba, there is no other reason!

'Then what other method could it use to find Harmonious Morus Alba…' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. During the instant this question appeared in his mind, a shudder ran through his entire body!

'Arid Triad's gap and Harmonious Morus Alba's gap!

'Arid Triad, what an existence! As expected of the strongest cultivator in the Expanse Cosmos in the past and the most powerful person who could Possess Harmonious Morus Alba's will. This person's schemes are not something a normal person can think of. He isn't thinking about using Arid Triad's gap to find Harmonious Morus Alba, but with Arid Triad's gap… he wants to form Harmonious Morus Alba's gap!

'With Dark Dawn and Saint Defier invading Arid Triad… it caused the small right wing to invade Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos! It can be said that at the same time Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos is invaded by Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, there are also forms of lives descending into Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos through Harmonious Morus Alba's gap!' When Su Ming's heart trembled, Harmonious Morus Alba's sigh traveled into his ears.

"You should have thought of it. That's right. Once you arrived, a gap appeared in my Expanse Cosmos. I can sense… Arid Triad's presence coming from it. It… has arrived using this method.

"Next, he will make the disaster descend ahead of schedule. He will make the four wings' overlapping appear beforehand."

A brilliant light appeared in Su Ming's eyes. At that moment, he did not know that the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe had understood this before he died, and that was why he had mentioned that it was coming.

He meant to say that the disaster was about to come. He meant to say… that Arid Triad had already rushed into Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos through Harmonious Morus Alba's gap!

Chapter 1278: Approaching All Spirits Hall

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Arid Triad, what an existence!

This was a matter he had planned for two eras, and he had exerted a subtle influence over Saint Defier and Dark Dawn to send them out of Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. They entered a region that could be said to be Arid Triad's second Expanse Cosmos. He waited there in silence, and when the time was right, he used the gap as an entrance and moved into Harmonious Morus Alba. He also attempted to use this method to control three wings, so that the overlapping of the four wings… would arrive ahead of schedule!

'Even I was used by Arid Triad once. The Antecedental Spirit's disaster had appeared in Yin Death Vortex because he wanted to force me into Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos!

'My appearance caused Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos and Arid Triad to arrive at the same wavelength, causing Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos to appear!'

Su Ming's eyes sparkled brilliantly, and there was a fierceness in them. If his cooperation with Harmonious Morus Alba previously only began to form, then right then, Su Ming had completely agreed to cooperate with it.

There was an arrogance in his character!

This arrogance made him become ruthless towards all those who used him and manipulated his life. He made all those people pay. It was the case for Su Xuan Yi, for Di Tian… so why should Arid Triad's will be any different!

"The time for the overlap should have been around three thousand and seven hundred years, but now, it has become only five hundred years. I can only stall it for five hundred years. After that… the four wings will overlap, and the disaster will arrive."

Harmonious Morus Alba's will sighed softly. When its murmurs spread out, Su Ming sank into silence.

What caused him to fall silent was not the five hundred years. Instead, it was the original time for the disaster to descend. The time… was three thousand seven hundred something years.

In fact, Su Ming knew the precise time for it. It should be three thousand seven hundred and twenty years.

The voice of the Rune Spirit in Heavenly Spirit Incense seemed to repeat its words in his again.

"Three thousand seven hundred twenty years later, I will be lit again…"

A hint of determination appeared in Su Ming's face. When he lifted his head, he stared at the galaxy in the distance and said calmly, "I understand. I will help you in this."

"Thank you… Which True World's will do you want to Possess?"

"Which True World directly reflects Arid Triad's Emperor of Abyss?" A strange light shone in Su Ming's eyes when he spoke faintly.

"It is the True World you are currently in… True Sky Hill World."

"I want the will here!" Su Ming said resolutely and without hesitation.

At the moment he said those words, Harmonious Morus Alba's will immediately turned into a storm around him. It surrounded Su Ming and swept through the area with a loud bang. In the blink of an eye, it grew to be ten thousand lis wide before it disappeared without a trace. Only Su Ming's divine sense could sense that the storm had already swept through all of True Sky Hill World. Wherever it went, True Sky Hill World's original will would instantly disappear.

This only lasted for the span of a few breaths. When the storm Harmonious Morus Alba had turned into went past True Sky Hill World, not a single shred of will remained within it.

It turned into an empty space. It was like a body without a soul, and any other soul could occupy it. This was the help Harmonious Morus Alba provided Su Ming, allowing him to Possess a True World in an incredibly easy manner!

The moment True Sky Hill World was void of a will, Su Ming's will spread out and instantly fused into it. His will instantly increased in power exponentially, as if it had received a great supplement and external nourishment. In just the span of a few breaths, Su Ming's will spread through all of Sky Hill, and once he completely occupied it and turned it into his clone, he could clearly sense that the power of his will… had increased by five-tenths!

With three True Worlds' wills, Su Ming instantly rose to a higher state of being, making him feel like a god at that moment!

It didn't if his will, his cultivation base, or his Antecedental Spirit's will took control, they could each make him become a supreme entity. Su Ming's will had become incredibly strong at that moment. His level of cultivation was slightly weaker, but as long as he was successful in multiple spirit ascensions, he could make his will fuse with his cultivation base, and then he could have his Antecedental Spirit's will fuse with his will. In the end, he could make them his will's assistants. From then on… Su Ming would no longer be a cultivator, but an existence with his will as his main concern!

"Please keep to your promise, and I will do the same… I will give you the Butterfly Metamorphosis when you Possess Arid Triad… You only have five hundred years to prepare. During them, I can no longer help you, because I will be in deep sleep. With it, I will fight against Arid Triad so that I can hold it back for five hundred years… for you, and for myself.

"Take care… of yourself."

Harmonious Morus Alba's muffled voice slowly grew weaker. When the lingering echoes of the final four words spread out, Harmonious Morus Alba's will sank into deep sleep and disappeared into the universe. Its Expanse Cosmos, which had previously been frozen for all eternity, returned to normal during that moment.

No one knew that this period of time, which seemed to have only lasted for the blink of an eye, made Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos different from before. Sky Hill had already become one of Su Ming's clones.

In silence, Su Ming lifted his head and looked into the distance. When he took a step forward, he disappeared into space and reached the border connecting Sky Hill and Victory Colony. Then, he walked straight into True Victory Colony World.

Su Ming appeared in the palace belonging to the Child of Morus Alba in True Victory Colony World. He moved forward and did not run into any form of resistance. Even the guards standing beyond the palace immediately worshiped him respectfully once they saw him.

Su Ming walked into the palace and looked around. In silence, he lowered his head and looked at the floor beneath his feet. He lifted his right foot before he placed it down gently. His body immediately fused with the ground and appeared at the bottommost level of the palace, right where the other Yu Xuan slept.

As he stared at her sleeping form, Su Ming examined the face of the woman who was exactly the same as the one in his memories.

He was silent.

He could not take her away, because even his other self who had fused with him had not known of the secrets in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos. He did not know that this Yu Xuan would have her body and soul destroyed once she was brought out.

Su Ming did not dare take the bet. In silence, he watched the sleeping woman. When he lifted his right hand and swung it, layers of huge seals appeared swiftly, filling the hall with Su Ming's will. When the protections in the place reached their peak, Su Ming cast a glance at the sleeping woman once more before turning around and leaving.

He wanted to go to Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos' All Spirits Hall!

This was Su Ming's final stop while in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos. He did not want to know who was the third Child of Morus Alba nor did he need to know it. There was no use in knowing whether they were someone familiar to him or just a stranger.

Whichever was the case, it would be better if he did not ask, did not know, and did not see.

Once he understood all of this and no longer allowed it to bother him, Su Ming's heart became very calm, so calm that he felt as if he had returned to the carefree childhood years when he was in Dark Mountain. However, the calmness he experienced at that time was because he had yet to experience life and he was as blank as a sheet of paper.

Yet now, countless pictures had already appeared on the white sheet of paper. Too many vicissitudes of life had been written down, and it already had wrinkles of time, but due to the changes, Su Ming felt as if he had seen through all the splendor in the world and understood the real meaning behind it, and that was why he was calm.

He slowly walked through the galaxy. He moved through Victory Colony, walked past Sky Hill, and arrived in True Immortal Sect World.

He stared at the now empty wasteland that was True Immortal Sect World and walked calmly through it until… he came to the All Spirits Hall reflecting the All Spirits Hall in Arid Triad's True Morning Dao World.

Or rather, there was no All Spirits Hall in Immortal Sect, because the huge talisman was not there.

Su Ming stared at the empty galaxy and closed his eyes.

There was indeed no talisman here… but if Su Ming needed it, it would appear, because this was an Expanse Cosmos in the mirror, while Arid Triad was beyond the mirror, and if there could be two forms of the exact same life within and outside the mirror, there was no exception to the All Spirits Hall.

When he closed his eyes, Su Ming took a step forward. Then another step, and another. When he placed his foot down for the third step, his body contorted. He disappeared from the galaxy, and when he reappeared, he was already in a world he was familiar with.

White fog filled the entire world, and no end could be seen of it. He could not see into the distance, and he could not see any lives in the fog.

This was All Spirits Hall. Perhaps it was Arid Triad's All Spirits Hall, but it could also belong to Harmonious Morus Alba. Su Ming did not look into this too deeply. It did not matter to which side the hall belonged. As long as it existed, it was enough.

With a step forward, Su Ming turned into a long arc and flew forward in the direction he remembered. He did not seem to be fast, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

As he charged forward, the fog underneath instantly started tumbling, as if Su Ming's arrival had caused some changes. In the blink of an eye, red fog was about to appear.

Red fog was the most terrifying sign in the world in All Spirits Hall. When Su Ming ran into this red fog in the past, he had to use his fastest speed to avoid it, or else his life would be in danger.

But right then…

The moment the red fog appeared, Su Ming let out a cold harrumph. He lifted his right hand and swung his arm downwards. With it, storms immediately raged. Booming sounds shook the sky and earth. The fog started tumbling backwards with loud rumbles. It looked like the storm was about to wipe it off.

The countless ferocious beasts in the blood-red fog instantly broke down and exploded. They became part of the blood fog, but they still could not stop the fog from dissipating.

At that moment, shrill roars traveled through the air. The sky distorted. A vast hall with an ancient and decaying air had one of its corners descend at the end of the sky. At the same time, a large number of lives who looked like spirits and who had dazed expressions on their faces came out from the hall to charge towards Su Ming.

Figures who were as thin as mummies, as tall as mountains, and who held long spears in their hands appeared. They raised the long spears in their hands, and waves of murderous aura filled the universe.

Almost in an instant, a large number of people who had failed their spirit ascension and turned into either spirits or other forms of physical entities charged towards Su Ming ferociously from all around him.

Su Ming's expression remained calm. He stared at the strange life forms who had forced him to flee and would have killed him if he had not run into an old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe before. His expression was calm, but a fierce look appeared in his eyes. With a swing of his arm, he said calmly, "Get lost!"

The world roared. With just two words, it sounded as if thunder that was a million times stronger than normal roared in the sky. Its mighty pressure swept through the land, causing the dazed and ferocious spirits as well as the spear-wielding mummies to shudder, and the forms and spirits of quite a number of them were instantly destroyed while the world rumbled.

The entire world instantly filled with a dead silence after the thunderous rumble… In the next breath, great terror appeared on the faces of all the spirits and mummies. Then, without any hesitation, just like how they had reacted when the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe showed up, they instantly fell back and dispersed.

Chapter 1279: The Sovereign of Dawn Descends

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

'If this is the other All Spirits Hall… then would there be another Tian Bai here as well?'

Su Ming stared at the terrified, shocked, and fleeing spirits and mummies in the sky. With a calm expression, he turned his head and looked into the distance.

A contemplative expression appeared on his face. Su Ming took a step forward before he instantly vanished. When he appeared, he was already standing in a place far away. There was a mountain where he stood.

Su Ming was familiar with it. It was precisely the mountain in which the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe had been located. However… when Su Ming swept his divine sense across the area, he did not detect even a single hint of familiarity.

'Perhaps there is indeed another Tian Bai… but it's rather unlikely that he is still here.'

Su Ming shook his head. Arid Triad and Harmonious Morus Alba might have two versions of the same lives, but even if they were the same lives, they lived different lives.

It was obvious from the other Su Ming, who was a Child of Morus Alba.

With a shake of his head, Su Ming turned into a long arc that left into the distant sky. When he appeared at the ruins of Great Berserker Tribe, which was the place where he had went through his first spirit ascension, Su Ming moved onto the towering Spirit Ascension Platform. He swung his arm and sat down cross-legged.

The wind was very strong, and it was especially so when on the towering Spirit Ascension Platform. He could even hear the wind moaning in his ears.

Su Ming's long hair moved in the air. His robes fluttered with loud whooshing of the wind. A brilliant light shone in his eyes, and he lifted his head and stared at the sky with a hint of resolve and determination.

"Spirit ascension!"

As brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes, his voice traveled through the entire world. At the moment he spoke, the power of the Berserkers immediately erupted with a bang from his body. It turned into ripples that spread in all directions.

Based on the path of spirit ascension he had experienced before, Su Ming activated the presence for the All Spirits Hall to descend on his own. The world rumbled, and the sky distorted as if it was about to be torn apart. A huge hall descended with a bang. It was golden and radiating with a piercing light that caused the entire world to tremble.

A broken hall filled with the living spirits who failed in their spirit ascension could also be seen nearby; it was the Spirit Descension Hall! However, compared to the huge golden hall, the difference in size between the two halls was incredibly huge. They were like a child and a huge man standing side by side.

When the golden hall shone with a golden light that reached one hundred thousand feet to envelop the world, Su Ming saw a familiar sign standing tall in front of the hall. Two words were carved on it.

All Spirits!

Su Ming's pupils shrank slightly. A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his lips. Only one Spirit Descension Hall appeared, which meant that Su Ming's assumption was correct. This All Spirits Hall was indeed not the All Spirits Hall he had went to in the past, but the one that existed in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos.

The number of times a person had his spirit ascend would cause a different number of Spirit Descension Halls to appear. The All Spirits Hall was not counted. Right then, there was only one Spirit Descension Hall, which meant… that Su Ming could have his spirit go through the first ascension one more time!

At that moment, as the light from the hall shone at a brilliant degree, thousands of Ancestral Spirits instantly appeared!

There were ten rows of them. There were men and women, and all of them were dressed in ancient, simple robes as they levitated beyond the golden hall.

The person right at the top shone with a golden light that spread one hundred thousand feet. He was filled with a suffocating, mighty pressure. Beneath him were three people, and beneath them were eight, then seventeen, then thirty-nine, then eighty-six, and at the end there were eight hundred and eighty one people.

Two thousand six hundred and three positions of Ancestral Spirits!

Su Ming sat on the Spirit Ascension Platform with brightly sparkling eyes as his gaze moved towards the 781st Ancestral Spirit at the lowest row.

Su Ming had already inherited this Ancestral Spirit when he was in Arid Triad's All Spirits Hall. But right then, he was going to inherit it again. Confidence appeared on his face, and he slowly stood up.

"Today… I will have my spirit ascend until I reach my limits in this place."

As Su Ming mumbled to himself, he swiftly flew to the 781st position on the bottom row and instantly drew close to it.

Su Ming touched the Ancestral Spirit, and loud booms surged into the sky. Su Ming jolted. A brilliant light appeared in his eyes. His body shuddered slightly, but his expression remained the same and did not change.

His aura increased swiftly during that moment. The feeling of becoming powerful instantly rose in his body. As he fused with the Ancestral Spirit and absorbed it, an astonishing pressure erupted from him.

The feeling that he was becoming increasingly stronger without stop made Su Ming throw his head back and roar. As he did so, not only did the strength of his physical body increase exponentially, the strength of his soul, his state of being, and his cultivation base also rose until he completely surpassed his previous power and stepped into a new Realm.

Su Ming could not tell what Realm it was, but he could sense that as he grew stronger, the 781st Ancestral Spirit was rapidly disappearing before his eyes.

It was not an illusory disappearance. He was… truly disappearing. It felt like if Su Ming had the Ancestral Spirit fuse with him completely, then from that moment onwards, one of the Ancestral Spirits would be eternally gone from the All Spirits Hall.

From then onwards, no one else could merge with it. This was something that had never happened before since ancient times. Su Ming was completely inheriting and absorbing the legacy of the Ancestral Spirit.

Several hours passed. When the 781st Ancestral Spirit completely disappeared, a powerful presence that was difficult to put to words erupted from Su Ming's body. It was so strong that it caused everything in the area around Su Ming to distort. If he wanted to destroy the world, he could instantly make it crumble.

Because of that strength, Su Ming felt that even if he had to fight against the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe, he could do so confidently. He had experienced a complete first spirit ascension, and it was equivalent to having his spirit ascend twice in an incomplete manner!

But if that was all, Su Ming could not fight against someone from Avacaniya Realm, much less fight against the old man from Heavenly Spirit Realm… However, Su Ming had the wills of three True Worlds with him. His will was so strong that it could support him in doing everything.

And what could… those in Avacaniya Realm even do to him?!

Spirit ascension was in itself a shortcut, a legacy that was similar to cheating. It turned the powerful warriors of the previous aeon into the cause, and those who received the inheritance were their effect. The legacy created a karmic path that created lives who were incredibly powerful!

This was a legacy. It was also another form of resistance and struggle against the destruction when the disaster descended from the cultivators of the previous aeon. They fought back against heaven, unwilling to admit defeat. Perhaps their method was not as effective as those of the cultivator who became Arid Triad… but this was also a form of resistance, a form of madness.

Since they could not avoid being destroyed, then it would better… that they turned themselves into a legacy so that their descendants, the people of the next aeon, could obtain the power required to struggle and fight back through a shortcut!

This was the reason why the All Spirits Hall was created!

Perhaps… All Spirits Hall seemed to have been created by the Ancestral Spirits of the previous aeon, who were cultivators who survived the disaster of the previous aeon, but Su Ming, who had learned of the secrets of Harmonious Morus Alba and Arid Triad, had his own thoughts about it.

It was likely that the Ancestral Spirits had used a special method to survive through the disaster, but there was also a possibility that they had completely fused with their self from Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos.

This was a guess. Su Ming did not know the precise answer, since it was difficult for anyone to know the secrets hidden in the passage of time.

But Su Ming obtained a verification for his other guess, which was that the All Spirits Hall was not created by the cultivators of the Ancestral Spirits' era. Instead… it was already created a long, long time ago, aeons before the era of the Ancestral Spirits.

The two thousand something Ancestral Spirits in All Spirits Hall were a gathering of all the most powerful warriors from countless aeons. They might have already died, but their power had been passed down through the aeons, accumulating for an endless amount of time so that they could give a chance for their descendants… to rush out of all of this.

This was a strong feeling Su Ming obtained in his head after he completely fused with the 781st Ancestral Spirit. A brilliant light shone in his eyes. With one move and without any hesitation, he chose… to have his spirit ascend a second time!!

563!

The 563rd position in the second to last row was Su Ming's choice. He instantly touched the Ancestral Spirit there.

It was an old man with an ancient face. At the instant Su Ming's body touched his, a shocking presence erupted from the position where the Ancestral Spirit that was the old man stood.

"Second spirit ascension." Determination appeared on Su Ming's face, and he sucked in a deep breath!

While Su Ming was in the All Spirits Hall in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos to go through his second spirit ascension, the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier gathered at the huge gap in True Morning Dao World.

They surrounded the area and formed a huge Rune to make the gap tear further. It grew bigger, and the cultivators could constantly descend from it.

This was Saint Defier and Dark Dawn's core in Arid Triad. As long as they could defend this place, they could have a continuous stream of cultivators appear in Arid Triad.

Yet during that moment, no cultivators descended from Arid Triad's gap, which was a rare sight to be seen. All the cultivators from Dark Dawn in the area knelt with zealous expressions. As for the cultivators from Saint Defier, they had dark looks on their faces but were not saying a single word.

Time trickled by. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a loud, world-shaking bang suddenly traveled through all of True Morning Dao World. Once that sound appeared, a sea of white bones descended from the gap with loud bangs.

In the sea of white bones was a middle-aged man in black robes. With a cold and indifferent face, he walked out of the gap and descended in Arid Triad.

At the instant he came down, True Morning Dao World trembled. Even True Sacred Yin World, the Emperor of Abyss' True World, and the Fourth True World shuddered at the instant this person appeared, as if they could not handle the faintly discernible, heinous mighty pressure spreading out from his body.

"Greetings, Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei!"

The voices of all the cultivators from Dark Dawn instantly shot into space like thunder. They were like waves filled with great respect and fanaticism. His appearance was the same as the arrival of a sovereign to all the cultivators in Dark Dawn's camp!

Chapter 1280: Spirit Ascension Again!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Ming lifted his head and roared towards the sky while next to the All Spirits Hall within Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos. His roars were filled with a shocking presence that spoke of their owner suffering intense pain that was difficult to describe.

As the voice echoed, Su Ming's cultivation base erupted again. This time, the sky instantly distorter, and the world looked like it could no longer bear the pressure and was about to crumble. However, it only looked to be so. It did not truly crumble for real.

However, this scene was enough to show off Su Ming's cultivation base. The power of his soul and his state of being increased at a maddening pace, as if he was going through a metamorphosis when he went through his second spirit ascension.

If Su Ming did not include the wills of the three True Worlds, then with this explosive increase, his current self would be… infinitesimally close to Avacaniya Realm!

Three spirit ascensions, and he could stand on equal footing with those in Avacaniya Realm!

Even though Su Ming was going through his spirit ascension in the second to last row, it was more accurate to say that he was already going through his third spirit ascension!

Su Ming could clearly sense his own strength, which was increasing at an indescribable, maddening speed. If anyone saw this increase in power, they would definitely be shocked.

Cracks soon came from Su Ming's body. Fresh black blood flowed out from his body, and Su Ming's presence became stronger.

The Ancestral Spirit he fused with gradually became darker, as if all that which it wanted to pass down as an inheritance had fused into Su Ming's body to become a part that could not be separated from his state of being.

During that moment, scenes that were not part of his memories appeared in Su Ming's head. They were the old man's memories, and they spoke… of a time that did not belong to the previous aeon, but was three aeons before Su Ming's!

Back then, the old man was the ruler of a cultivation country. There were no sects in there, and all the cultivators in the country were one. In the end, the old man reached Avacaniya Realm, and he was so strong that he was one of the most powerful in his aeon.

The memories stopped when the disaster descended…

Su Ming had no idea how much time passed. When his mind cleared, he saw the position where the old Ancestral Spirit had stood now empty, and a very prominent ancient look appeared in Su Ming's eyes, as if he had lived through another life.

The cracks on his body had already disappeared. The strength of his physical body had already reached a state where his ring could no longer injure him. His soul and his cultivation base could already affect those in Avacaniya Realm.

If he added his most powerful and fiercest weapon—his will—he could suppress those in Avanicaya Realm, and it would not be difficult.

But all of this… was still not Su Ming's limit. He lifted his head. At the instant the position of the old Ancestral Spirit disappeared, his gaze landed on the 371st position at the third row from the last.

It was a young man with a pale face, who looked rather sickly. His eyes were closed, and among the hundreds of Ancestral Spirits at the third row from the last, he did not seem eye-catching, but when Su Ming cast his gaze on him, he felt as if his soul was being summoned.

"Third spirit ascension!"

Feeling his own great cultivation base, Su Ming lifted his foot and instantly moved to the 371st position at the third row from the last for his third spirit ascension in this place.

When he went through his first spirit ascension, he had not been worthy enough, which was why he had to stop once he went through it. He could not continue in one go, but it was different now. Su Ming possessed the right to have his spirit ascend five times. That was why he was going to ascend continuously until he reached his limit.

He moved and instantly came into contact with the 371st position at the third row. In an instant, Su Ming's entire body, soul, cultivation base, and everything about him shuddered violently. Waves of jumbled up thoughts surged into his mind. At the same time, a sharp pain as if he was about to crumble spread through his body.

Under the attack of all the thoughts, Su Ming felt as if his soul was about to shatter to pieces. His cultivation base, too, became chaotic, as if this spirit ascension was going to be different.

Su Ming had been prepared for this beforehand. The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe had mentioned that three spirit ascensions was equivalent to reaching Avacaniya Realm. Since that was the case, it was obvious that the third spirit ascension would be incredibly difficult. Similarly, the effect it would have on him would be incredibly great as well.

It might be difficult, but Su Ming was confident that he could completely absorb the legacy, because he was not using the foundation of someone who had gone through two spirit ascensions to challenge the third spirit ascension, but was performing the third stage of the spirit ascension after having his spirit ascend a total of three times from both Expanse Cosmoses!

That was why when the pain in his body caused Su Ming's expression to distort slightly, he managed to resist it. Red appeared in his eyes. As his body shuddered, it continued becoming stronger at an even faster pace than before.

As the pain spread through him, he also become more confident, because he was becoming stronger. Su Ming simply allowed time to pass, and with every ounce of his power, he absorbed all the legacies from this position, be it from his soul or his cultivation base. The tests he went through, the splitting of his soul and subsequent fusion, and everything else made Su Ming feel as if a period so long that it felt like ten thousand years had passed, but in truth, it had only been six hours.

After six hours, the Ancestral Spirit in front of Su Ming became so faded away that it looked like it was transparent. When it completely fused with Su Ming, he sucked in a deep breath and slowly lowered his head to stare at his right hand, which he gradually tightened into a fist.

He stared at it, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips. There was a ghastly, cold chill to it, and great confidence showed up on Su Ming's face.

"So Avacaniya is a form of splitting up and being created. I was separated into countless parts, and each part could be turned into a complete version of myself. Which means… when I throw this punch, my fist will be split into countless portions before they are remade to form one single part. It might seem like one single punch, but in truth… I wonder if an average cultivator in Avacaniya Realm will be able… to withstand this punch."

As Su Ming mumbled, fighting spirit appeared in his eyes. It was a pity that he did not have an opponent around him, or else he would have tested just how strong his fist was!

"The strength of my physical body works in the same principle. I can instantly divide into countless parts and instantly regroup. I can even be said to be… imperishable!

"My cultivation base is also the same. As long as I have a single hint of it left, I can instantly become whole. In this Realm, I can create the sky, the earth, mountains, and rivers. I can make multiple galaxies manifest. As expected… of Avacaniya Realm."

As Su Ming mumbled to himself, he lifted his head and looked at the fourth row from the last. Once he swept his gaze across it, his eyes locked on the 248th position.

There stood a middle-aged man dressed in a long black robe. Waves of chilling aura spread out from him. Almost every single Ancestral Spirit in this row exuded a powerful, mighty pressure, and if anyone took a closer look, they would find that the mighty pressure from each of them surpassed those in Avacaniya Realm!

"Fourth spirit ascension!"

Brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. He moved without hesitation, instantly going to the endless golden light to appear right next to the fourth row, and with another move, he approached the 248th position.

The remnants of Great Berserker Tribe had left behind six numbers. During their repeated tests, they had proved the numbers' accuracy. There might only be six of them, but even if there was only six, it was enough for Su Ming to avoid plenty of dangers and walk the correct path.

It was incredibly rare for the tribes in the second generation to be able to determine the first six numbers like Great Berserker Tribe had done, and even pass it down without error.

Su Ming stared at the Ancestral Spirit in front of him. As he observed the black robed middle-aged man, he lifted his right hand, and without any hesitation, he pushed his palm against the center of the Ancestral Spirit's brow. At the moment his palm came into contact with the middle-aged man, Su Ming felt his entire body instantly become cold. The next instant… a large amount of cold air appeared on his skin, and Su Ming turned into a block of ice, and even the Ancestral Spirit was frozen in it.

Time passed. Two hours later, Su Ming was still in the ice block, not moving, but more chilling aura seemed to be seeping out of his body, causing another layer of ice to appear around him.

However, the difference was that the first layer of ice belonged to the Ancestral Spirit, and the second layer to Su Ming.

Slowly, the Ancestral Spirit became faint, semi-transparent as the legacy contained in it was being rapidly absorbed by Su Ming.

He also absorbed the Ancestral Spirit's remaining memories. They were from an aeon that was even further away from Su Ming's time and revealed the middle-aged man's brilliant life.

The memories of his life contained everything about him—his love, hate, regret, wildness, and arrogance. Su Ming obtained all his memories until the disaster of that aeon arrived. The man had then lifted his head and looked at the universe, and as he laughed with madness, he chose to obey the ancient legacy, to turn everything about himself into a figure of an Ancestral Spirit standing in a position in All Spirits Hall. He would not let himself die for nothing. He would use his death so a descendant in an unknown aeon could have a chance to succeed!

"If anyone will succeed, destroy Arid Triad so that our sacrifices won't be in vain!"

Su Ming's heart trembled. The ice block around him instantly shattered. Once it was replaced by the ice made by the freezing air coming from Su Ming's body, it gradually melted, and the middle-aged man's position beside Su Ming had already become empty.

Su Ming was silent. He now had quite a number of memories in his mind. After a long while, a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He slowly nodded, as if he was making a promise to a senior. After a long while, he looked up, straight towards the fifth row of Ancestral Spirits.

"I should be able to perform my fifth spirit ascension!"

When the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei of Dark Dawn descended in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, the sea of white bones filled the galaxy. Countless cultivators from Dark Dawn worshiped him. The cultivators of Saint Defier lowered their heads in silence.

At that moment, the black-robed Sovereign of Dawn spoke with a ghastly and aloof voice from the sea of white bones.

"I have descended. Based on our promise, the cultivators of Saint Defier have to listen to my commands. During the first five hundred years, you will obey all of my orders!

"My first order… is to completely occupy True Morning Dao World. Destroy that weak Ninth Sect! I will permit the Spirit Paragon to attack and crush the Ninth Summit!"

Chapter 1281: Leaving Harmonious Morus Alba

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The fifth spirit ascension. The fifth row. The 79th position. At the instant Su Ming touched it and fused with it, his aura filled the entire world in an unprecedented manner.

The ground trembled, and the fog tumbled. Five Spirit Descension Halls descended around Su Ming. The All Spirits were still before him, shining brightly compared to the dull Spirit Descension Halls.

Su Ming fused with the Ancestral Spirit. Several hours later, when the Ancestral Spirit in front of him disappeared from his position in the fifth row, an astonishing, mighty pressure erupted from Su Ming's body. It was so strong that it instantly caused all the Ancestral Spirits beneath the fifth row to lower their heads together.

The All Spirits Hall in the sky became dimmer, and the Spirit Descension Halls became barely discernible, as if they could not withstand the great pressure from Su Ming.

His strength was unprecedented. At that moment, he might seem to have only had his spirit ascend five times, but in truth, he had already ascended six times! In fact, when Su Ming returned to Arid Triad and went to All Spirits Hall there… he would have his spirit ascend ten times!

He would then be an existence who surpassed the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe. In fact, if Su Ming, with his current power, gathered his will and cultivation base together, then he would have reached… a state at which he could stand on equal grounds with the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe. In fact, in some sense, Su Ming had already surpassed the old man.

Su Ming's expression was calm. He closed his eyes in midair and did not choose to continue having his spirit ascend, because he could feel that he had reached a state of fullness again. He knew that this was his limit as of then. If he went through his sixth spirit ascension, it would be impossible for him to succeed.

If he wanted to succeed again, he needed to return to Arid Triad and turn the Emperor of Abyss' True World into his own will. With the wills of four True Worlds gathered on his person, Su Ming would have the confidence to go through his sixth and seventh spirit ascensions.

After a long while, Su Ming opened his eyes. There was a sparkle of life in his gaze. All his aura was kept in his body, which made him appear a mortal, but when he stood there, he looked as if the entire world served as a background for him.

In truth, this would not be the only place where this would happen. At that moment, no matter where Su Ming was, the world where he was located would bow down and worship him.

His state of being had already surpassed that of a True World, and he was only second to Arid Triad and Harmonious Morus Alba. Perhaps… there had been quite a number of cultivators who were stronger than Su Ming during the various eras in the passage of time… but besides Arid Triad, there was no other person who could reach Su Ming's state of being during the countless years the universe had existed. In this aspect, Su Ming was already near the peak.

It would be difficult for him to find an opponent unless he ran into old monsters who had hidden themselves incredibly well in Saint Defier and Dark Dawn. Only they might be able to fight against Su Ming. Besides those select few people, only the powerful warriors of the previous eras who could only wake up one hundred years before the disaster could catch Su Ming's attention.

Those people had lived for far too long, and their power had accumulated to an incredibly terrifying degree. They were existences who could not be destroyed by the disaster, so only they had the right to be regarded with importance by Su Ming.

After all, Su Ming was now the same as them. They were complete and imperishable even in the face of disaster, but Su Ming did not want to be an existence gasping for the last breaths of his life. He did not want everything by his side to be destroyed, and did not want to roar at the skies while he held a corpse in his arms, just like what the secrets of the universe had showed him. What he wanted was to change all of that.

In silence, Su Ming swung his arm, and the golden light in the sky disappeared. The All Spirits Hall vanished, and the world returned to normal. Su Ming took a step forward with a calm expression. He disappeared from the world, and when he reappeared, he had already returned to True Immortal Sect World.

"It's time for me to leave this place and return to True Morning Dao World."

Su Ming lifted his head to look at the direction of Bright Yang Vortex, and when he muttered these words to himself faintly, he took a step forward.

With one step, the True World started rotating in reverse. Since True Immortal Sect World belonged to Su Ming, as long as Su Ming sent his will outwards to any spot in this True World, he would be able to reach the place he wanted in an instant.

He stared at the continuously rotating Bright Yang Vortex before turning into a long arc. He entered the vortex and disappeared without a trace.

Su Ming was so quick while moving through the vortex that he surpassed his previous speed by several times. It could be said that before he entered Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, while Su Ming was strong, his strength was still limited, but at that moment, he had surpassed his previous self numerous times, regardless of whether it was in terms of his will or his cultivation base. The difference between his current self and past self was like the sky and earth.

If the previous Su Ming ran into a cultivator in Avacaniya Realm, he could fight against them, albeit with great difficulty, but right then… those in Avacaniya Realm were nothing to him.

Only if they were people who had already gained incredibly high attainments in Avacaniya Realm would they be able to make Su Ming slightly serious. An average cultivator in Avacaniya Realm… Well, Su Ming might not have tested it out, but he wondered how many breaths it would take to kill them.

Su Ming kept on charging through the vortex, which did not have any sort of suction force. It did not matter whether it came from above or if it was the mighty pressure from below, for all of them were extremely weak before Su Ming. He did not even need to touch them with his own body. He only needed to have his will spread out from him, and all of it would immediately be crushed and broken down.

In just a few breaths, Su Ming had already closed in on the spot where he had initially stood against the Antecedental Spirit's disaster. At the instant he passed by the place, he came to a swift stop. He examined the area quietly, and a gloomy look gradually appeared on his face.

He could sense a faint wave of aura of death. It did not belong to the world in the vortex, but to someone Su Ming was familiar with… the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

"He failed…"

Su Ming sighed softly. In truth, once he learned of the truth about Arid Triad, he already knew that even if the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe wanted to take revenge on the Arid Disaster, it would be impossible for him to succeed.

As he shook his head, Su Ming turned to leave, but his expression suddenly changed. He lifted his right hand and seized the air towards the vortices on his right. With it, the sky in the vortex that hung over 3000th world instantly turned dark. It was covered by Su Ming's palm, which now hung above an ocean world. Once the sky turned into Su Ming's palm, he swiftly seized what was below.

As the ocean shuddered, it instantly broke down to reveal a drop of blood within it. When Su Ming caught it and was about to pull his hand back, a red bolt of lightning swiftly charged down at his palm.

This was the Antecedental Spirit's disaster. At the moment the red bolt of lightning approached him, Su Ming raised his right index finger and flicked it away. With a loud bang, the lightning bolt crumbled.

Su Ming's right hand was completely unharmed. When he pulled his arm back from the 3000th world, the drop of blood was completely unharmed while it lay in his palm. Su Ming could sense the mark of life belonging to the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

With the drop of blood around, the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe would not have truly died. If he fused with his other self in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, there might be a chance for him to be resurrected.

Su Ming closed his fingers and put away the drop of blood before he turned into a long arc that charged towards Yin Death Vortex. He rushed forward, drawing closer to the exit. Swiftly, he got closer and closer to Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos and True Morning Dao World.

Chapter 1282: You Have to Fight For Your Own Life

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, True Morning Dao World!

At that moment, around the land originally belonging to Morning Dao World that was used for the Ninth Summit were countless cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn. They had surrounded the one hundred something cores of the Runes hidden in space.

Right at the center of those cultivators was a distortion in space that was about one hundred thousand feet wide. Mountains, rivers, land, and floating continents could be vaguely seen there. That was… where the Ninth Summit was located.

That distortion of one hundred thousand feet wide was a gap the cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn were going to forcibly tear open. Once it was created, the cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn could instantly tear through space like a swarm of bees… and step into the dimension where Morning Dao Sect was originally located and where Ninth Summit currently was.

As space distorted, from the distance, it looked as if the incredibly fragile spot had countless lightning sparks swimming in it.

This sort of attack had lasted for a very long time, but during the past three days, due to the appearance of nine faceless men in white robes, the attacks reached their climax.

The nine people dressed in white robes had incredibly bizarre faces. There was nothing on them. They had no eyes and no other features. They were just like white jade slips.

The nine gave off the feeling as if they did not have any sort of cultivation base and were just like mortals, but the mighty pressure spreading out from them was incredibly shocking. By the way the cultivators around them glanced at them, anyone with eyes could see the respect they had for those nine people.

The nine were dressed in white robes, but there were slight differences in their robes. Five of them had the mark of the moon, and the other four the mark of the sun.

They stood next to the edge of the distorted area. They did not use any sort of divine abilities, but if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that the fluctuations of the distortions were the strongest in this area. The distortions in space were the final layer of the Runes Hu Zi had laid out, but… due to the nine people's existence, the space in the Rune distorted and became faint. In fact, if anyone stood in the distance and looked, they would have a very strong feeling… that the nine people were like nails.

It looked like the nine people were nails that had struck the final layer of the Rune Hu Zi had set beyond Ninth Summit. It was also precisely because of them that the Rune constantly grew weaker.

Standing behind the nine were the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, and some distance away from them was a sea of white bones levitating in space. It was not located too far away, and it allowed whoever was on it to be able to see everything in the battlefield.

Leaning against a bone among the large number of white bones was a long-haired man in black robes. He had a handsome face and was filled with a strange presence. In his hands he held a wine cup, from which he would occasionally take a sip, as if all the effects this particular galaxy had on him were so incredibly weak that they might as well have not existed.

Around the black-robed man were ten black-robed people standing respectfully, who looked like guards. They were coldly staring at the distortions in space.

The black-robed man smiled faintly. He took a sip of his wine before he said, "Interesting. In just one more day, the Rune will shatter, and we'll torture the cultivators there slowly while they writhe in despair. Once we kill them after that, their souls will taste even better."

The man was so strong that even if he did not send his aura outwards, he could make it seem as if space could not bear with his presence. Signs of its destruction continuously appeared around him.

Needless to say, he was the strongest person who had descended in Arid Triad from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn's camp—Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, one of the three sovereigns of Dark Dawn!

However, the person currently sitting on the bones was not the sovereign's real form, but one of his two great clones. At the instant his real form descended, he headed off somewhere, though no one knew where he went. One of his clones remained in True Morning Dao World, while the other went to the mysterious Fourth True World.

They might be just clones, but they had also reached Avacaniya Realm, or else it would be impossible for Yan Pei to be known as one of the sovereigns of Dark Dawn.

While the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei drank his wine and watched the Rune of the Ninth Summit contort in the distance, no one, including the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, noticed a figure standing in the space on the other side of the contorting one hundred thousand feet Rune. The person was watching all of them coldly.

Su Ming had come almost two hours ago. This was his True World, so nothing in it could escape his grasp. In fact, Su Ming only needed to think, and he could move to any region he wanted. Once he walked out of Yin Death Vortex, he immediately knew everything that had happened in True Morning Dao World.

He did not chase away the cultivators from Saint Defier or Dark Dawn. Su Ming only stood quietly in space and watched the contorting Rune of the Ninth Summit while it was continuously attacked.

When Su Ming reached his current level of cultivation and possessed the wills of three Great True Worlds, all lives became simply a part of the universe rising and falling in his eyes. If someone lived, then someone else had to die, and only if someone died would someone else get to live. This was a law. Su Ming did not want to change it, and he would not interfere with it too much.

It did not matter whether it was Dark Dawn or Saint Defier, for both of them belonged to Arid Triad. It was just that as of current, they had moved from Arid Triad's second world to his first.

Based on what Su Ming could sense due to becoming a higher state of being and understanding more things, the feeling that his world was being invaded by Arid Triad had diminished greatly. All of it was a plan by Arid Triad to eventually invade Harmonious Morus Alba and completely Possess it.

All lives were chess pieces. Even if some of them believed that they had become players, on the larger scale of things, they were still only chess pieces in other people's eyes.

This was a sad truth, but also a form of law.

'If you don't go through storms and blizzards, how can you possibly grow? If you don't go through trials, how can you rise to glory? If you… don't go through life and death situations, you are just like an unsharpened sword!'

Su Ming stared at Ninth Summit with a calm expression. He could stop all of this from happening and could make it so that not a single life from Ninth Summit was lost. He could put a complete stop to this disaster.

But what was the use in doing all of that? Even if Su Ming could put a stop to this disaster and the next and even the third, there would still be one disaster in the end which he could not stop.

Those who were protected would never be able to grow up. Only those who experienced life and death situations, difficulties, and trials would have powerful spirits and strength. Only such a person would be able to stand their ground and support the world on their own.

It was exactly what he had told to the Berserkers. At that moment, Su Ming quietly watched everything that happened before him, because he wanted Ninth Summit to go through a trial.

This was a battle, and there would be more battles they would have to face in the future. If Ninth Summit and the Berserkers wanted to get used to living through battles as well as survive in the world of cultivators, where the strong preyed on the weak, then had to experience every trial in existence.

If they could not get used to it, then Su Ming would attack and provide a protection that would give them no future but allow them to remain for some five hundred years. At that time, the disaster would arrive. If Su Ming succeeded, then all would be good, but if he did not, it would be fine as well. Everything would probably be reduced to nothingness.

They had to fight for their own Lives, for the ones provided by others might not be what they truly wanted. Su Ming never understood this in the past, but right then, he did.

Perhaps it would hurt. Perhaps there would be quite a large number of people who would die… but this was the path that had to be taken if a person wanted to become a powerful warrior.

The only thing he could do was make the battle a little fairer. Su Ming could not increase the levels of cultivation for the cultivators in Ninth Summit and the Berserkers in an instant, but he could… suppress the levels of cultivation of those from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, so that their levels of cultivation would match those from Ninth Summit.

To Su Ming, this was very easy.

When the day went by and an astonishing bang filled the entire galaxy, the ferocious roars from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier served as the accompaniment for it. The sound came from the last Rune Hu Zi had set for Ninth Summit breaking down. At the instant it collapsed, a large number of cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier instantly charged into the gap leading to Ninth Summit, which was created when the Rune broke down.

Once the Rune crumbled, hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered in Ninth Summit. They squared their shoulders and prepared to fight against the cultivators charging towards them with the killing intent boiling in them from their willingness to fight back and struggle.

At that time, there was still no one who was worthy of seeing Su Ming in True Morning Dao World. He lifted his right hand and casually pushed in the direction of the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier.

With it, all of True Morning Dao World shuddered. The tremors were quiet, but they formed an indescribably great mighty pressure that descended in space, causing True Morning Dao World to immediately become much heavier. It made the hearts of all the cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn tremble. They came to an abrupt halt, and shock appeared on their faces.

All the cultivators felt as if they had become several times heavier, causing all of them to feel heavy and sluggish. In fact, they had a feeling that the circulation of their cultivation base was no longer smooth. It was as if all of True Morning Dao World was pressing on them at that moment.

Once the Rune crumbled, the hundreds of thousands of cultivators from Ninth Summit jolted as well. Shock appeared on their faces, and all of them stopped instead of rushing out.

As the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier were shocked, the nine white-robed, faceless people shuddered violently. There were roars echoing in their bodies, and they looked as if they were fighting against something.

Further into the distance were the ten black-robed men around Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei. All of their expressions had changed drastically. Their pupils had shrank, and a bright, brilliant light shone in their eyes. The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei had his wine cup lifted and was about to taste the wine when he stopped moving. He lifted his head slowly, and a ferocious look appeared at the corners of his lips.

"Which fellow Daoist has descended and disturbed this True World's will, making it suppress us? You… what gave you the courage to stand against those of us from Dark Dawn? How dare you provoke me?!"

The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's voice was ghastly. When it rang out in the air, the entire galaxy trembled violently. The mighty pressure that descended in the area even showed signs of lessening.

The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei still held the wine cup in his left hand while his right hand was on the white bone by the side. A dark green light appeared in his eyes. It swept through the entire galaxy… but he could find nothing!

Chapter 1283: Now, It's Fair

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's voice spread out, quite a large amount of the mighty pressure that had descended in True Morning Dao World scattered. This was the astonishing divine sense formed by the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's power of Avacaniya Realm. When it swept past the area, it became a power that could shock all cultivators.

When the cultivators from Dark Dawn felt a bit of the pressure on their bodies lift, zealousness appeared on their faces. They knew that their sovereign was nearby and watching them. They had the confidence that as long as their sovereign was around, there was nothing in the world that could stop them.

All existences were to either die or flee under the mighty pressure of Dark Dawn. They were confident that there was no other choice for any enemy of theirs.

The shocked hearts of the cultivators from Saint Defier also gradually became calm as the pressure on their bodies lessened. They were not from the same camp as Dark Dawn, but they still believed wholeheartedly that the only ones in the world who could fight against Dark Dawn was Saint Defier!

As for the nine white-robed, faceless men, they felt their hearts relax. A ferocious expression replaced their shock, and during that instant, a great power erupted from their bodies, but it was not the power of a cultivation base… but the will of Antecedental Spirits!

They were known as supreme paragons, and their statuses were only second to the Sovereigns of Dawn and Lords Saint Defier. They were… the Antecedental Spirits from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier!

The ten black-robed men beside the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei also felt the pressure on them lighten. Soon, a monstrous cultivation base erupted from their bodies. Those ten people… were each infinitesimally close to Avacaniya Realm!

A cold sneer appeared at the corners of the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's lips. He was confident that he was invincible in this True World. Even if he ran into any Antecedental Spirits from Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, he was confident that he could destroy the World, because he was in Avacaniya Realm and because he was the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei!

"You overestimate yourself. Begone from this place. Do not show even a single hint of your aura where I stand, or else no matter who you are and who you are affiliated to, I will not mind having another spirit slave by my side.

"Cultivators of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, destroy Ninth Summit. I want this sect… to be completely wiped out," the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei said faintly.

His voice instantly echoed in all of True Morning Dao World, and he placed the wine cup in his left hand by the corner of his lips. There was a hint of arrogance and casualness to him as he took a sip of his wine.

But the instant the small sip of wine entered the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's mouth…

Su Ming had a calm look on his face. He did not even cast a glance at the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei in the distance. To him, this so-called Sovereign of Dawn was nothing. He pushed his right hand down again.

The previous push was just Su Ming slightly suppressing the cultivators. Right then, he made True Morning Dao World… heavier by one fold!

The moment he did so, ripples appeared out of nowhere in True Morning Dao World. As they spread out, they filled up all of True Morning Dao World in the blink of an eye… and a presence belonging to another True World instantly descended.

That was True Immortal Sect World!

Su Ming's suppression was in truth a form of a seal. He sealed the power of the people from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier who surpassed those from Ninth Summit, and the principle of this seal was to make True Morning Dao World heavy. The easiest method to achieve this… was to make another True World appear in this place. Once it fused with True Morning Dao World, it would naturally become heavier.

As True Immortal Sect World descended, muffled booms echoed in space. Ripples spread out, and True Morning Dao World instantly became heavier. This heaviness was difficult to describe with words, but it made all the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to instantly tremble violently. Their bodies sank downwards. Banging sounds rang out continuously from their bodies, and three-tenths of their cultivation bases were instantly suppressed!

That was three-tenths of every single person's cultivation base, including the nine white-robed, faceless Antecedental Spirits. Under the pressure of the weight, their bodies shuddered, and three-tenths of their wills as Antecedental Spirits were also suppressed!

"Preposterous!"

The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's expression changed, but the moment he opened his mouth, the wine cup in his hand shattered into pieces with a bang. The wine spilled out and levitated in front of him.

The sea of white bones around him shuddered. Signs of it becoming loose appeared, and the ten black-robed men roared together. They shuddered and immediately circulated their cultivation bases to fight against the pressure, but it was useless. Three-tenths of each of their cultivation bases were suppressed.

In shock, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei had killing intent appear in his eyes. His power in Avacaniya Realm was completely released. It formed a huge whirlwind, and when it rotated around him with loud booms, it spread out in all directions. Wherever it went, all the mighty pressure disappeared, and during that instant, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei stood up slowly from his seat on the sea of white bones. He swung his right hand, and a bone spear immediately appeared in his hand. Once he held it, his cultivation base erupted from his body again.

"Since you're asking for death, I will fulfill your wish. Show yourself, you rascal who only knows how to hide!"

As he spoke, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei took a step forward. Before his foot landed, a white light the color of bone erupted from the bone spear in his right hand, and it immediately covered all of True Morning Dao World. The light spanned an impossible distance while forming an endless amount of bone spears that were impossible to count and which filled every corner of True Morning Dao World. It seemed that if the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei wanted to destroy all the lives in this True World, it would only take a single thought from him.

But right when the Sovereign of Dawn's foot was about to land, he did not see Su Ming finishing his last push with his right hand with an indifferent expression on his face. The entire process was in truth just Su Ming lifting his right hand and pushing down. At the instant he completed the process, True Sky Hill World descended!

As it went down, ripples surged through True Morning Dao World. They intersected with each other and spread out as forming a huge net that was formed by the fusion of three Great True Worlds. The mighty pressure formed from it was equivalent to three Great True Worlds descending at the same time, and the heaviness was the same.

Almost in an instant, practically all the cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn coughed up a mouthful of blood. All of them felt as if there were one hundred thousand mountains pushing on them. Their souls were suppressed, causing sixth-tenths of their cultivation bases to become dull, as if they had been sealed. They could only bring out four-tenths of their cultivation bases!

In fact, there were quite a few people who had their levels of cultivation fall, especially the nine white-robed, faceless Antecedental Spirits. As their bodies trembled, their features returned to their blank faces, as if the power that could allow them to cover their faces had been forcibly torn from them.

Since they were Antecedental Spirits, the effects of the mighty pressure on them seemed to be stronger. They coughed up blood and staggered backwards. As they did so, six-tenths of their cultivation bases were suppressed as well.

The ten black-robed people around Yan Pei coughed up blood too. Their levels of cultivation immediately fell, and they exuded a relatively weak presence. They were no exceptions to this. Six-tenths of each of their powers were suppressed.

A trickle of blood flowed out from the Sovereign of Dawn's mouth. Ruthlessness appeared on his face. He was about to throw the long spear in his hand, but when he was about to put his right foot down and began to speak in a ferocious voice…

"You—"

He only managed to say this one word before his expression changed swiftly. His eyes went wide, and the ruthlessness on his face instantly disappeared. For the first time ever, it was replaced by shock, because at the moment the wills of the three Great True Worlds descended, his body felt as if it had been crushed by something, causing blood to appear at the corners of his lips.

But this was still nothing to him. What really caused the Sovereign of Dawn to feel shocked was how he could sense the gaze looking at him from directly across him in the distance.

That gaze was filled with an aloofness that he had never seen before, and there was an air of nobility that was difficult to describe with words within it. It was the strongest will in the entire True World, and with just one faint glance, he made the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei feel as if his body was about to crumble.

This was a feeling that he had never sensed even when he went to the Deity's Mausoleum, which was a place where even the Sovereigns of Dawn had to come to worship once every millennium. It was something he only sensed when faced with the three strongest slumbering bodies among all of the others who had existed for an unknown amount of time.

According to the legends of Dark Dawn, the three slumbering people were true old monsters who had survived through the disasters an unknown number of eras ago!

"Sir…" The heart of Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei trembled. His expression was one of shock, and even with his level of control over his emotions, he found it hard to hide it. Just as he was about to speak, a faint voice came from behind him.

"Did you say that I was asking for death just now?"

The voice had appeared incredibly suddenly, making Yan Pei shudder. He was about to explain himself on instinct when the voice spoke again.

"Sit. Stay with me and watch this life and death trial. Your people are pretty good, but the situation is a little unfair."

"Yes."

The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei did not have the right or the courage to refuse. All his thoughts turned into this one word in the end, and it was filled with respect. In fact, he did not even dare to turn his head around. He put away the bone spear, and with his heart pounding in nervousness, he slowly sat down.

The hearts of the ten black-robed men beside the sea of bones shuddered in fear. They retrieved their aura and tried to be as respectful as they could, not daring to sneak a peek in Su Ming's direction.

Strength was everything!

"But now, it is fair. You can fight now," Su Ming said calmly and sat on the seat originally belonging to the Sovereign of Dawn on the sea of bones. He leaned back against it, and with his right hand supporting his forehead, he stared at Ninth Summit.

The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei sat up straight beneath him. Anguish appeared on his face while he stared at the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier and mulled over what Su Ming had said. He had already understood that this person wanted to use his people to train those from Ninth Summit.

"Well?" Su Ming cast a glance at the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei.

Yan Pei's heart shuddered. He sensed the displeasure from the person behind him. He then gritted his teeth and sent his order as the Sovereign of Dawn to the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier far in the distance.

"Step into Ninth Summit and fight!"

Roars reverberated through space during that instant. It did not matter whether the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier were willing or not, for even if they had six-tenths of their power sealed, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei had already given his order, so they… had to fight!

Chapter 1284: One Sect, One Race, Become Strong on Your Own!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Fight!!"

A roar that sounded like that of a tiger echoed into space from Ninth Summit. It was Hu Zi's voice. Once he spoke, his figure was instantly reflected in Su Ming's eyes.

With a body like a tiger, at the moment he walked out, Hu Zi threw a punch forward, and his vast physical strength erupted. When he seized the space to his left with his left hand, a huge spiked mace appeared in his hand, and he swung it at the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier charging towards him.

Booming sounds surged into the air. Hu Zi was located at one of the spots used by the armies from both sides when they came into full contact with each other. There were countless cultivators from Ninth Summit around Hu Zi, and they were all fighting madly in a life and death battle against the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier.

They fought for their continued existence!

For their own Lives!

There were Berserkers among them. In this battle, they showed off the powerful physical bodies belonging to the Berserkers!

The enemies they faced were the cultivators who had easily destroyed the armies formed by the union of the three True Worlds, who had killed the Fourth True World's Sublime Paragon, forced True Sacred Yin World to seal themselves, and the Fourth True World to lay down a Rune, no longer hoping to kill their enemies, but only hoping to struggle and fight back.

Those people had swept through True Morning Dao World, and wherever they went, no cultivator could make them stop in their tracks. It could be said… that they were an army of powerful warriors who had never suffered defeat!

People from Ninth Summit were prepared to die, but even if that were to happen, they could not die in vain. They would kill a few people and drag them to their deaths for company. If they killed one, then they would have broken even, if they killed two people, they would not have lived in vain, and if they killed three, they would have covered the losses they suffered!

If that was the case for Ninth Summit, then it was even more so for the Berserkers. Loud rumbles surged into space. The sounds of fighting were deafening to the ears and filled the entire galaxy while the battle was reflected as the most brilliant light in Su Ming's eyes.

The people from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier had six-tenths of their cultivation bases suppressed, but even if they could only bring out four-tenths of their cultivation bases, they were still a force of power that was definitely not weak when they stood before Ninth Summit of Arid Triad's True Morning Dao World.

After all, regardless of whether it was Dark Dawn or Saint Defier, their legacies came from the records of their second era. If Su Ming had not sealed six-tenths of their power… then there would be no suspense in this battle. The victor would have been decided long ago.

Only once he did seal them was the battle fair for Ninth Summit. In truth, it was absolutely in Su Ming's power to seal more of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier's power, but if that was the case, it could not be considered a trial. That was why he only sealed six-tenths of their strength, allowing Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to have less than half a Realm higher in terms of their levels of cultivation compared to the cultivators from Ninth Summit.

The sounds of battle echoed through space at a volume that could shake the sky and earth. A large number of cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn surged into the gap in the Rune, and the moment they stepped in, Ninth Summit fought back. The hundreds of thousands of cultivators had determined looks on their faces. When the two armies clashed against each other, the battle instantly broke out.

From the moment they came into contact, there were a large number of deaths on both sides. This sort of battle tested a cultivator's personal power to its utmost limits. The loud rumbles from divine abilities rose and fell. The light from Enchanted Treasures and the intensity of the clashes formed ripples that swept out in every direction.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow of death descended on the galaxy. It swung its arm, taking away lives as if it wanted to reap every single life in the place.

Dark Dawn and Saint Defier suffered the greatest amount of casualties since they had invaded Arid Triad. It did not matter whether it was the block they faced at Arid Triad's gap from the three Great True Worlds in the past, when Dark Dawn and Saint Defier swept through True Morning Dao World later on, or when they went on an expedition to the other True Worlds. They had never suffered a loss like this, when a large number of deaths happened immediately after they clashed with the enemy.

After all, the reason why the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier had been undefeatable in their battles was because of their strength.

The nine white-robed Antecedental Spirits gritted their teeth and rushed to the frontlines. Wherever they went, the cultivators from Ninth Summit would retreat. There was no one who proved to be their opponent. They might have six-tenths of their cultivation bases suppressed, but they still remained powerful.

But right at the moment the nine completely stepped into the gap of the Rune and entered the world where the Ninth Summit was to rush towards Hu Zi, who was the most frenzied out of all the cultivators from Ninth Summit, the sounds of waves tumbling suddenly came from Dao Ocean located beneath them. A great will instantly filled the space and enveloped the nine people. They were instantly submerged by the will which was as fierce as raging waves.

It was the Predecessor of Dao Ocean.

Once he enveloped the nine people in his will, a battle of Arts belonging to Antecedental Spirits started. They were isolated from the cultivators, and when they fought against each other, not much bloodshed could be seen. However, to the nine Antecedental Spirits, the Predecessor of Dao Ocean was so strong that he was an existence that the nine could not fight against once their cultivation bases had been weakened.

At the same time, the Berserkers in Ninth Summit showed off their pride as Berserkers. Ever since their levels of cultivation had risen and they had gotten used to True Morning Dao World's presence, they went through another metamorphosis.

It was a sudden rise in power due to accumulated strength and a power remaining in the Berserkers' blood, which worked on a similar principle as the survivors of the Great Berserker Tribe sacrificing themselves so that they could help their descendants. During the short period of time, the entire race had been continuously getting stronger, and in their madness, they now waged war against Dark Dawn and Saint Defier in the chaotic battle.

Su Ming sat on the sea of white bones and watched all of this unfold before him. His expression was calm, and not a single change could be detected on him. If a person wanted to sharpen their blade, there would definitely be parts of it that would shatter. If a tree wanted to grow, then it had to be doused by storms.

The ninth summit and the Berserkers were the two most important homes for Su Ming. If they wanted to grow, they had to go through various hardships. They had to experience all that would be needed for any force of power to rise to glory.

Only by doing so could they grow to be existences that could touch even the sky. Only by doing so could they no longer need Su Ming to provide them with constant protection. They needed to become people who could stand tall and strong on their own from people who could only depend on others!

The only thing Su Ming could do was to make the battle fairer. However, if Ninth Summit could not get used to this sort of battle, they would be saved by Su Ming, and he would make it so that Ninth Summit and the Berserkers would never show themselves. Because if that was the case, perhaps the time for Ninth Summit and the Berserkers to rise to power had not arrived, and it would be better for them to stay in Yin Death Region, if that was the case.

And if they could grow up, if they had the conviction and courage to fight, if they had the will to face the heavens, men, and all manner of living things, then Su Ming would use his full power to make Ninth Summit and the Berserkers become the strongest sect and race in the universe!

This was the absolute truth!

Su Ming watched the battle before him, and relief slowly appeared on his face. He saw Ninth Summit fighting back, saw their unwillingness to surrender, and their determination. He saw all their lives shining with the most brilliant light.

And it was especially so for the tiger-like Hu Zi. As he roared, he brandished the huge spiked mace he held in his hand and cursed loudly while he swept through thousands of people. The loud roars he stirred up were shocking, and the honest look on his face could not be found. Instead, there was a ferociousness that shook the hearts of his enemies.

And levitating in the space beyond Ninth Summit while in a seated position was Su Ming's headless eldest senior brother. He did not attack. The ones who attacked were the Shaman Souls surrounding him. As they circled around him, they let out shrill, piercing cries and occasionally charged forth towards the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier.

Standing beside eldest senior brother was second senior brother. The gentle man had a solemn expression that had never appeared on his face before. Order after order came from him. He controlled everything that happened in the battlefield. There were quite a number of cultivators who did not attack around him, acting as his defence.

Further away was the ninth summit, and standing at its summit was Fang Cang Lan. She stared into the distance with a calm expression.

Su Ming's second senior brother was Ninth Summit's soul, and Fang Cang Lan was the Berserkers' soul!

And Su Ming was no longer the sect or the race's soul. He had already removed himself from view and became the sect and the race's… deity!

As of then, Su Ming could indeed be known as a deity. If he could not be regarded as one, then there would not be any deities in the world. He had the will of three Great True Worlds with him, and he could make the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei shudder in terror before him. This… was Su Ming!

A faint smile slowly appeared on Su Ming's face, while the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's face grew more anguished. He did not dare turn his head back and could only watch the battlefield, but while the cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn still had the upper hand… they no longer had the momentum of victory.

Six-tenths of their cultivation bases were sealed in a bizarre manner. This matter in itself had already dealt an incredibly big blow to all cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn, and it had also formed an unseen mighty pressure on them, causing their hearts to tremble.

They should have fallen back, but due to the orders from the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, they had to fight. The results from this series of events was that the morale of the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier was not strong.

If Ninth Summit's resistance had been weak, then the morale of the cultivators from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn would have slowly risen, but they had run into a battle they had never met. As the number of deaths increased and people from Ninth Summit began choosing self-destruction before their deaths, Dark Dawn and Saint Defier's momentum was completely oppressed.

"Glory to Ninth Summit!"

The cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier heard the cultivators from Ninth Summit shout those words right before they chose to explode… But that was not all. If they had just exploded, it would have been impossible to affect the hearts of cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. However… those people who self-destructed stirred up such a mighty power that it surpassed what should have been possible from self-destruction.

What they only later noticed was that there was a large number of jade slips infused with chaotic energy tied to their bodies as well as a large number of Enchanted Treasures that would self-destruct with them and self-destructing medicinal cores. All of them exploded along with each cultivator upon their self-destruction, causing the power of their explosion to instantly increase by several fold.

This madness was enough to shock Dark Dawn and Saint Defier.

This was not a single occurrence, and neither did it happen only twice. Thousands and tens of thousands of people did it. Powerful bangs reverberated through the universe, forming a ripple that swept through the battlefield like a huge hand, taking away the lives of people that did not want to leave.

There were also Berserkers among the people who self-destructed. Before they died, they cried out to the Berserkers, and in their voices was the unwillingness to part with their people, but none of them hesitated in sacrificing their bodies that had already suffered irreparable damage. They self-destructed, and with the power of the explosion, they completed the final and most dazzling event in their lives.

Chapter 1285: Sharpen the Sword, Sharpen the Blades!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the number of deaths reached a certain point in a normal battle, the would willpower of one side would crumble, and those people would scatter. However, during the battle on that day, before they died, even if their souls were destroyed by self-destruction, they became spirits in the other survivors' hearts, the medicine that stimulated their lives, and because of one sentence Su Ming said, they became eternal existences.

"All cultivators of Ninth Summit and Berserkers, I will not let your souls be lonely. Even if your souls scatter, the pieces will gather into you again."

The Berserkers and Ninth Summit could not hear Su Ming's words, only the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei who was sitting below him. The moment Su Ming had spoken, a vortex appeared in space above the spot where Ninth Summit's Rune was damaged. It appeared without a single sound, and when it rotated, souls manifested, though they could not be seen.

Those souls stared at the battle beneath in confusion. When they saw all that happened, shock appeared on their faces, along with even greater confusion. They were all cultivators of Ninth Summit and Berserkers who had died on the battlefield.

The vortex continued rotating, and glowing spots that the survivors could not see manifested in space. As they gathered together, all the souls of the cultivators from Ninth Summit and Berserkers who had died because of self-destruction went to the spot where they had died.

There seemed to be a supreme law in the galaxy which had two sentences written in it!

And they were the twenty-seven words Su Ming had said just then!

The souls could not be seen, but they could see everything in the battlefield… including Su Ming, who was a huge sun in the distance before their eyes. That sun was so huge that it looked like an existence that even the galaxy of the True World had to worship it.

"I am the God of Berserkers, was once the fourth disciple of the ninth summit, and am one of the creators of Ninth Summit. I… Su Ming, will create the tenth summit on this day with the will of Morning Dao, Immortal Sect, and Sky Hill!

"The tenth summit will be known as the Mourning Summit. It will gather together all the souls of my people and the members of my sect who died in battle in my True World. You will stay there so you can protect the world for your sect and your people!

"You will be worshiped. You will enjoy having incense lit for you. You… will be the souls who defend the sect and your race. I bestow upon you… the right to not perish as long as the sect remains!"

Su Ming's voice echoed in space. The survivors could not hear his voice reverberating through the galaxy, but a mountain that resembled a sword appeared in space. It formed in an instant and stood towering over everything in the galaxy.

The souls who drifted in the area looked at Su Ming, then bowed to him in excitement before flying to the mountain to become the first batch of imperishable warring souls in the tenth summit who would protect the world!

This scene caused the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei to tremble. He had witnessed the entire process from start to finish, and everything he saw filled his expression with shock and disbelief.

'This is laws being enforced once they are created… This is not him just changing a law. He is… creating it. With one sentence, he created a law. This is… Boundless Dao, the Realm after Avacaniya!

'Because there is no end to Dao, their words will make ships move, and they will do so forever without reaching their end…' the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei mumbled in his head, and his entire body was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Su Ming stared at the battlefield in the distance and at the souls who had manifested once more and would no longer scatter. The admiration in his eyes grew greater. He saw Ninth Summit's resistance, and while it might seem chaotic, in truth, there was an order to it.

Everything was done by the orders of second senior brother, including the attacks right in the beginning, their actions to suppress Saint Defier and Dark Dawn to prevent them from regaining their momentum, and the series of self-destructions that happened during the battle after.

All this was based on second senior brother's plan. He had them suppress their enemies through a series of actions and weaken their morale while boosting their own. By doing so, he could also make Saint Defier and Dark Dawn's cultivation base disintegrate, though it could not be detected.

With his method and the suppression, he could cause a large number of cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to only be able to bring out three-tenths of their original power!

Su Ming was smiling, but the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei was in shock and his mind blank. He only managed to recover after a long while. His face was pale, without a single hint of blood to be seen. The battle was already past the point where he could change its tides. In truth, the instant the existence so great that he made Yan Pei's heart shudder appeared behind him, the results of the battle were set.

'Just who is he? How can there be such a terrifying monster in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos? Damn it, all the old monsters are sleeping right now, and I've never heard of anyone waking up ahead of schedule. Legends say that they have been abandoned by the universe and are not included within the will of the Expanse Cosmos. They have already leapt out of its boundaries…

'When they wake, it will be a moment before the universe is destroyed… but this person is clearly gives off the feeling that like those old monsters, and even among them, he could be considered someone powerful. Boundless Dao… He is clearly a powerful paragon in Boundless Dao Realm. Damn it… just how did he wake up?!'

The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei was no longer thinking about the deaths of the cultivators of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier or the certain defeat they would suffer. He was thinking about how to get through the disaster before their eyes.

'The Ninth Summit… This old monster cares about Ninth Summit to this extent? I… If… If I knew about this, there is no way I would have caused trouble to myself by offending Ninth Summit!

'Fortunately, the one here is just a clone of mine… but even if he is just a clone, losing it would cause me great harm. Besides, if this person really wants to kill me, it'll be incredibly easy for him to find me in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, unless I run back to Dark Dawn's camp…'

While the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei was feeling upset and anxious, the battle between the cultivators of Ninth Summit against those from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier reached its climax. Hu Zi threw his head back and laughed ferociously. Wherever he went, the place where he stood would be like no man's land.

He had always been powerful, and with his enemies' power being reduced by about seven-tenths, he became nearly invincible in battle. Unless there were some from Saint Defier and Dark Dawn who were still powerful despite seven-tenths of their power being reduced, the others were not Hu Zi's opponent.

But as for those cultivators who were still powerful after they had their power reduced, their opponent… was Su Ming's eldest senior brother!

He might seem to be sitting still in space, but all the Shaman Souls around him had already reached a state where they could manifest themselves. This meant that virtually every spot in the battlefield was filled with Shaman Souls, and so Su Ming's eldest senior brother was in every spot of the battlefield.

Su Ming could tell that during the period of time he was away, his eldest senior brother's power had increased by a lot. The Spell allowing him to make it look like he manifested versions of himself beyond his own body had made even Su Ming cast a few scrutinizing looks his way.

Besides not allowing the real body of the caster to move, the Spell was so strong that it allowed the caster to form hundreds of manifestations. They existed in every single part of the battlefield, and the power they showed was the exact same as the one possessed by what Su Ming remembered his eldest senior brother having in the past.

Su Ming had also detected a hint of a faint Antecedental Spirit's will coming from his unmoving eldest senior brother. This discovery caused Su Ming to look closely at him, and after his observations, he could tell that this Antecedental Spirit's will belonged to the Predecessor of Dao Ocean.

'Seems like Ninth Summit and the Predecessor of Dao Ocean have been getting along well.' A smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He looked at his second senior brother, and a hint of admiration appeared on his face.

Second senior brother's personal level of cultivation was not comparable to Su Ming's own, but his grasp of the battlefield, his schemes and ploys, and his ability to formulate plans were things Su Ming could not compare.

Second senior brother had been able to turn Ninth Summit into an unshakable force and command it in a way that all of the sect's combat abilities were brought out to the max. Indeed, in these aspects, Su Ming could not compare to him.

As the deaths of the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier gradually made them want to retreat appear and the will to fight grew stronger among the cultivators of Ninth Summit and the Berserkers, Su Ming narrowed his eyes. The trial could not end just like this. Since it had already started, he would have it reach a state where the experience would be etched into their bones and their souls.

Only by doing so could this trial turn into a brand in their souls. Only by doing so could he light up the souls to fight among the people from Ninth Summit and the Berserkers, so the sect and the race would be able to rise to power through great victory. He could also use the fight to make their names ring through Arid Triad, laying down the final foundation for their rise.

'Since all of you have chosen not to be lonely existences in this apocalypse… I will give you a future where you will be paragons,' Su Ming thought in his heart. Brilliant light shone in his eyes.

"Are the cultivators from Dark Dawn only worth so much?" Su Ming asked a flat and freezing tone. When it reached the ears of the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, his heart trembled.

"Senior…" Hesitance appeared on Yan Pei's face.

"Dark Dawn, Saint Defier, fight against Ninth Summit with your full strength. If there is anyone among you who tries to retreat, then I will destroy your entire sect!" Yan Pei shouted out with gritted his teeth.

He was intimidated by Su Ming, and he sensed the shadow of death looming over him. At that moment, he could no longer care less about the others. He immediately ordered them forward, and his voice reverberated through the battlefield.

His words echoed in the hearts of every single cultivator from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier who wanted to retreat because they had been completely suppressed by Ninth Summit and the Berserkers' momentum. It forced them to stop in their actions.

"You may declare war as you wish, but only I can declare an end to it," said Su Ming flatly. There was not a lot of might contained in his words, but they had a domineering air, which overwhelmed the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei with fear.

'He's a Star of Disaster. He's definitely a Star of Disaster. Even when he was in his era, this person definitely had an infamous reputation… but… but how could this old monster have a connection to Ninth Summit?'

Bitterness appeared on the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's pale face. He stared at the cultivators who stopped moving back when his words echoed in space. There were quite a number who turned their heads back to look towards him; there was uncertainty on their faces, and even a hint of hatred.

Roars of those who had just been sentenced to death came from the mouths of people from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. They were immediately followed by their crazed attacks and desperate charges.

"Once they go through this madness, this sect and race will be able to bloom beautifully in Arid Triad," Su Ming mumbled as he watched the changes in the distant battlefield.

The expression of each cultivator and the circulation of their cultivation bases could be clearly seen by Su Ming.

It was just like sharpening a sword. If he only sharpened one side of the blade, it would not be complete. He had to sharpen both sides until they glistened in the sun, for only then could it be considered a sharp sword, and right then, Su Ming was sharpening the other side.

Chapter 1286: You May Stop the Fight!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the face of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier's sudden madness, the time for Ninth Summit and the Berserkers to be tested instantly arrived. This trial was not just a test of their personal power, but also their will to persevere in a prolonged war. They also had to know how to handle cultivators who had been pushed into a corner, just like them.

To a sect and any race, these were all incredibly rare experiences. After all, one mistake in this sort of war would end up in them being destroyed.

Su Ming wanted Ninth Summit and the Berserkers to go through this process, because after that, they might learn how to get through other similar events. That was why, instead of going through it in the future, it was better for them to go through that right then.

After all, only the difficulties of war could make the sweetness of victory unforgettable.

Su Ming also wanted to use this rare opportunity to let his second senior brother test his skills in commanding and see what worked so that he could hone his skills for even more difficult situations in the future.

The Berserkers also had to work on their cooperation with Ninth Summit so that they could reach the same wavelength in this battle and form a connection that was similar to those shared by blood kin, allowing them to work in unity.

Su Ming's second senior brother swiftly sent his orders to each corner of the battlefield, and more cultivators from Ninth Summit and Berserkers joined the battlefield to take over their comrades so that they could launch another large-scale battle on Dark Dawn and Saint Defier.

It was a pity that this situation could not last too long. A loud, astonishing bang reverberated through space. Most of the Rune was torn, causing the gap in Ninth Summit to widen, and most of Ninth Summit was revealed in the galaxy, allowing more cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to rush inside.

Under the firm orders of second senior brother, the cultivators of Ninth Summit and the Berserkers did not continue to stubbornly defend the gap. Instead, they began withdrawing in an orderly manner, shifting the battlefield from the galaxy to their world.

When Su Ming saw this, the admiration in his eyes grew stronger. He saw Ninth Summit's growth and his senior brothers become stronger. When Su Ming became a will, his heart became something that no longer resembled the heart of a cultivator, but at that moment, the warmth he felt in the past rose in his heart.

Su Ming knew that he had already changed. If his past self was in his place right then, the moment he saw Ninth Summit being attacked on all sides, he would have personally attacked without hesitation and killed all the invaders, but right then, he did not choose to do so.

His thoughts were more focused on whether the sect and race were suited to live in the outside world. If they showed that they were capable, he would make it so that their right to live in the outside world was even greater, but if they were not, then he would choose to let them have five hundred years of peace, at the very least. Then, he would use his full strength to fight so that those five hundred years would turn into an infinite amount of time.

The things he saw at that moment told him that Ninth Summit and the Berserkers could live in the outside world. They had the ability to improve and become stronger on their own. Even if Su Ming was no longer around, as long as there was a certain amount of fairness in the fights they faced, they could rise to power.

And Su Ming could provide them that fairness!

"There is no madness that can last for long. It is the case for one person, one race, and even one sect. If you can crush them while they are in a state of madness, you can completely destroy their beliefs, and you will… be able to achieve complete victory."

When Su Ming said those words faintly, he looked at Ninth Summit, and he saw his second senior brother watching the battlefield with eyes burning with a brilliant light as he continued issuing orders without stop.

From the layout of the battlefield, Su Ming could tell that second senior brother's choice was different from his. He chose to temporarily avoid direct conflict and instead waited until the enemy tired out to strike them with full strength. This method was different from Su Ming's, but it was slightly gentler. If he completed the setup, he could obtain complete victory with less losses.

Right when Su Ming thought he could see the results of the battle and the cultivators of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier were about to show their most crazed and desperate side to charge into Ninth Summit en masse…

A loud roar that shook the sky and earth shot out from Ninth Summit. As it echoed in space, Su Ming narrowed his eyes for the first time since he had arrived.

He saw a floating continent crumble with a bang in Ninth Summit's world. The explosive power formed by the continent's destruction instantly swept through all directions and turned into a huge vortex. At the moment it rotated, booming sounds surged into the heavens, and the second as well as the third continents crumbled.

Soon after, the fourth, fifth… up to the twelfth continents crumbled and exploded!

This was not due to Dark Dawn or Saint Defier. This was due to Ninth Summit themselves, who had been storing this power for this moment!

At the instant the twelve continents crumbled, the destructive power spread through the entire world where Ninth Summit was located, but most of that power was gathered at the gap of the Rune, causing many of the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to be instantly affected by it. The number of injured and dead was so high that it was simply disastrous for Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, and for a time being, shrill and forlorn howls and wails filled the sky.

This scene caused Su Ming's pupils to constrict, and the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, who was originally distracted, stood up swiftly. A grave expression appeared on his face, and he fixed his stare on Ninth Summit. If it was not because he had suddenly remembered that existence who made him quiver in his boots, he might have immediately rushed into Ninth Summit.

The crumbling of the continents caused so many cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to die that the number surpassed one hundred thousand!

Countless Runes and various Enchanted Vessels that could self-destruct and amplify power of explosions had clearly been laid out on the twelve continents beforehand. The twelve of them had been refined, because of which they looked like continents, but in truth, they were huge Enchanted Vessels.

With Ninth Summit's retreat as bait, the moment Dark Dawn and Saint Defier descended into their most crazed state, they would launch a strike with unprecedented power, and with one hit… determine the results of the battle!

Su Ming stood up and threw his head back to laugh; his second senior brother's methods surpassed his expectations. The firm and straightforward strike had crushed the convictions of the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. Amid the loud bangs, practically all of those still alive retreated. Their expressions were filled with shock, and their bodies trembled. There was too much blood, too many deaths. The suppression of the cultivation bases, their enemies' madness fueled by no thought to their actions, and everything else caused them to lose their courage to continue fighting.

At the moment they retreated, Ninth Summit and the Berserkers' rise to power was set in stone. They were destined… to achieve complete victory in this battle!

"Kill them!"

The roars from the cultivators from Ninth Summit reverberated through space at that instant. Together with Berserkers, they launched a full-power pursuit on the retreating cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. For a period of time, the battlefield was in a chaotic state t, but the battle had completely tilted towards Ninth Summit.

Su Ming's laughter echoed in space. With a swing of his arm, he straightened and said, "You may stop the fight now. As for the lot of you… Since you cooperated in this trial, I will not kill you today. Now, get lost!"

Su Ming's voice was like thunder, and it caused the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's heart to tremble. As his body shivered, he moved without hesitation and turned into a long arc that swiftly left into the distance.

In the face of absolute power, all other forces of power were nothing.

Su Ming already possessed this power. He watched the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, who had now broken down and were like a plate of scattered sand, and the cultivators from Ninth Summit and the Berserkers charging out in streams in pursuit, and his lips curled into a smile.

There were deaths in this battle, but the path of cultivation was always a fight over life. It was a rough path, but dying on the way was not frightening. What was frightening was the fear towards death and losing confidence.

Su Ming looked at the galaxy, then took a step forward. When his foot landed, he was already in Ninth Summit, appearing right next to his second senior brother, who was observing all the changes in the battlefield with all his attention, and who had confidence on his face as well as an air of elegance.

"Second senior brother," Su Ming called out softly.

At the moment he spoke, his second senior brother turned his head swiftly. Eldest senior brother, who was sitting not too far away, also seemed to have opened his mind's eye at that moment and directed his attention at him.

Su Ming's figure manifested before second senior brother, and with a smile on his face, he wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed.

Eldest senior brother did not have a head, but at that moment, his body was brimming with joy. Second senior brother also looked as if his spirits had been lifted, and laughing, he hugged Su Ming.

"I knew you'd be fine." As second senior brother laughed, he pushed his hands on Su Ming's shoulders and observed him closely. There was love between brothers on his face.

"You must have arrived a long time ago. How do you think I performed here?" A smug look appeared on second senior brother's face while he spoke with a smile.

Their eldest senior brother stood up as well and strode over. He lifted his right arm and hugged Su Ming. He did not speak, but all his care and concern were contained in that hug between brothers. There was no need for words.

When he sensed his eldest senior brother's powerful heartbeat, even if Su Ming's level of cultivation had reached an unfathomable stage and his will was so strong that he was only second to Arid Triad, during that moment, he forgot his own power. He only knew that he was the youngest in Ninth Summit, and the youngest junior brother of his senior brothers, who would forever want to protect him.

With a smile on his face, Su Ming looked at his proud second senior brother and said softly, "Second senior brother, you showed off your talents in this battle."

While second senior brother laughed, a long arc charged over from the distance. Before that figure even approached the area, Hu Zi's voice reached their ears like thunder.

"Darn it all, that fight felt really good. Eldest senior brother, second senior brother, did you see how many of those… Huh?" Hu Zi charged forward while speaking, but right at the moment he was about to approach the area, his voice died abruptly—he had noticed Su Ming.

"Youngest junior brother!"

Hu Zi's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. He stared at Su Ming, then walked forward with huge strides and hugged Su Ming.

"Y-y-you… Do you have any idea how many times second senior brother went to the area right outside Yin Death Vortex and watched it in silence? Do you have any idea how many times eldest senior brother worked hard to reach a breakthrough in his level of cultivation without regard for the cost? All of it so that you won't have to be so close to death all the time!

"Do you have any idea how many days I didn't sleep to set up the Runes? Youngest junior brother, if you listen to me, then don't go anymore, now that you're back. Stay in Ninth Summit, and let's make sure that we senior brothers can stay together for eternity!"

As Hu Zi spoke, the excitement in his voice turned into a sob. To the outside world, he was a man with a personality like a tiger. He was a ferocious entity who would not blink even when he killed. When he smiled, there would still be a ferociousness to it, and his entire body exuded a heinous, murderous aura.

But before Su Ming, second senior brother, and eldest senior brother, he was like a child. He was just Hu Zi who loved laughing, crying, and peeking at others.

Second senior brother was silent for a moment before he looked at Su Ming. "Youngest junior brother… are you going to leave again?"

Eldest senior brother might not have said anything, but at that moment, he gave a feeling to the others that he too was waiting for the answer.

Su Ming was silent. He did not speak and only stared at his eldest senior brother, his second senior brother, and Hu Zi. After a long while, he nodded slowly.

"After I finish settling three final matters, I will return to Ninth Summit and not leave for a hundred years."

It was night. During it, Ninth Summit's night sky was filled with stars that reached ten thousand lis. It was brilliant. The battle during the day had ended. At that moment, most of the cultivators were resting and meditating, but there were some who were swiftly mending the Runes so that the gap could be closed

Moonlight shone on the ninth summit. There was a table on it. Eldest senior brother sat at the head of the table, second senior brother to the left, Hu Zi to the right, and Su Ming at the end of the table.

This was a reunion of the brothers under the same Master. There was no distinction of status based on their levels of cultivation, and neither was there a ranking system used by the other summits in Freezing Sky Clan. Their seats were only determined by the time each of the disciples of the ninth summit had spent under their Master's tutelage.

The eldest was like Master. When Master was not around, eldest senior brother was the master of the sect.

Behind Su Ming was Fang Cang Lan, who stayed beside him quietly. Her face was one of composure and elegance. She did not mind Xu Hui's existence on his other side.

Xu Hui had long since returned to Ninth Summit. Su Ming did not ask her about De Shun, and she did not say anything about him either.

"Ninth Summit won this battle, but the reason and the prerequisite for our victory was the overall levels of cultivation of the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier being suppressed. Youngest junior brother… were you the one who did this?" second senior brother said after hesitating for a moment.

He simply could not think of any other answer, and so he said it out loud and looked at his youngest junior brother.

Su Ming had a calm expression on his face while he nodded.

Once he did so, Hu Zi sucked in a sharp breath and stared at him in a daze. Second senior brother's breathing instantly quickened as well. His expression changed swiftly, filling with disbelief.

They clearly knew the significance behind the suppression of the overall levels of cultivation for the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. This allowed them to know that Su Ming probably had the ability to destroy all the cultivators who descended from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier by himself.

Eldest senior brother was silent, but his right hand shivered slightly, a telling sign that a storm had started raging in his heart during that moment.

Among the three of them, eldest senior brother had always been the one with the highest level of cultivation. Second senior brother hadn't noticed the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's existence, and it was even more difficult for Hu Zi, but eldest senior brother had formed a connection with the Predecessor of Dao Ocean. Wits his help, he could clearly sense that there was an existence who caused him to feel terrified in that battle.

It was… the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei. Eldest senior brother had obtained information regarding that person's statue and reputation from Dark Dawn cultivators on which he had performed Soulseek after capturing them.

To be able to seal six-tenths of the power belonging to the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier with someone like the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei around… This power already surpassed what eldest senior brother could imagine.

Second senior brother remained quiet for a while before he spoke in a serious yet muffled tone. "Youngest junior brother… what is your level of cultivation right now? How is your strength… compared to the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei?"

Su Ming was silent for a while before he answered honestly, "He… does not have the right to be my opponent.

"Right now, besides some of the sleeping ancient monsters, there should be very few cultivators in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos and the four Great True Worlds… who can be my opponents."

When Su Ming said those words, his eldest senior brother fell silent. Second senior brother's breathing became quicker, and Hu Zi gaped, unable to speak for a long while.

They did not doubt Su Ming's words. Excitement and exhilaration immediately appeared on Hu Zi's face. He picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a big gulp from it, allowing the wine to trickle down the corners of his lips.

"Haha! Youngest junior brother, what should we do for our next step? Should we get rid of all the cultivators who descended from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier? Second senior brother, what do you think? Does my idea sound good?"

"Is there something strange about Dark Dawn and Saint Defier?" A contemplative expression appeared on second senior brother's face. He ignored Hu Zi and looked at Su Ming instead. He seemed to be thinking of something.

"Dark Dawn and Saint Defier are also part of Arid Triad. They might seem to be invading us through this war, but they are really just returning. It might seem dangerous, but it is really just the final bout of madness in their lives.

"The people who think they are the players do not know that it had been decided a long time ago that they are chess pieces… Even if we chase them away and kill them, it would make no difference, because the Arid Triad disaster is not now, but five hundred years later."

When Su Ming said those words slowly, he sighed softly. He told them some of the things he had experienced, including the disaster five hundred years in the future, Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, and the ancient monsters who would wake up before the disaster.

As his voice echoed in the air, disbelief appeared on Hu Zi's face while his heart trembled. Second senior brother shuddered, and his eyes sparkled swiftly.

While Hu Zi and second senior brother were silent because they were digesting the shocking truth, eldest senior brother asked in a muffled voice, "Youngest junior brother… you mentioned that you had three things you had to deal with just now. What are they?"

Su Ming raised his head and looked at his eldest senior brother before he said softly, "The first would be going to the Emperor of Abyss' True World. I'm going there to search for a woman and to retrieve my True World. I will return him something… and end a grudge that has tied me down for one thousand years."

"Is it Yu Xuan?" Fang Cang Lan suddenly asked.

Xu Hui had remained silent by the side since the start, but at that moment, she seemed to have remembered something. When she lifted her head, she looked at Su Ming as well.

Su Ming nodded.

Fang Cang Lan did not say anything. Her expression was still as calm as water, but her lashes over her half-lidded eyes quivered ever so slightly.

"The second would be me going to an old haunt that will make me stronger. I will make all preparations for the disaster five hundred years later." When Su Ming spoke, a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

"And this is the third. I will go… to Dark Dawn's camp and find our Master!"

The moment Su Ming said those words, Hu Zi's head snapped up. Second senior brother's expression also immediately filled with shock. Eldest senior brother fell silent, but determination filled him.

"Searching for our Master is something our levels of cultivation will not allow us to do. Only you… can bring Master back. It's been a very long time… since we saw the old man," said eldest senior brother. His voice was deep, and there was longing in his words.

Su Ming did not tell them that besides searching for his Master in Dark Dawn's camp, he had another goal. He wanted to go to the Spiritlings and have a look at his mother's homeland.

"Once I finish doing these three things, I will return to Ninth Summit and will wait for time to pass. I will wait for the day the disaster arrives… I've promised a certain group of people certain things in my life. During the next few hundred years, I will fulfill all those promises."

Chapter 1288: The Strongest in His Eon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The people to whom Su Ming had made promises before were plenty, such as Chang He, Flame Fiends' Progenitor, the one hundred thousand cultivators in the foreign lands in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, and many more. He never forgot his promises, and he would fulfill all of them.

Su Ming had noticed Chang He and Flame Fiends' Progenitor when he arrived in Ninth Summit earlier. He had no idea when they had joined it, but there were very few who knew of their relationship with him.

"Only five hundred years left, huh?"

Soon after falling silent, second senior brother suddenly smiled. His smile was as gentle as before. However, it was filled with a ferociousness and an unwillingness to give up.

"Since there are only five hundred years left, it doesn't matter whether you will succeed in the end or not. Perhaps during these five hundred years, we should create more exciting battles with the world outside." Second senior brother picked up his wine cup and finished it in one gulp. When he put it down, he threw his head back and laughed.

In silence, Hu Zi picked up another wine cup. When he downed it all in one big gulp, he threw it down the mountain, and a grave look that had never been seen before on his face appeared on him.

"Darn it all. Five hundred years will be enough. During them, I swear I'll find myself a wife!"

Hu Zi's words echoed in space. Second senior brother had been filled with fighting spirit, but when he heard Hu Zi's words, he was left stunned. Once he went over his shock, most of his fighting spirit was cut off by Hu Zi, and he smiled wryly.

The night went by as the four brothers from the ninth summit drank a lot, since it was very rare for them to gather together. They talked about their past, their Master, and the Berserkers of the past.

Fang Cang Lan stayed by Su Ming's side throughout it all. She watched everything with a smile and occasionally handed Su Ming a pot of wine, as if this was the most important thing for her in her life.

As for Xu Hui, she might have stayed by Su Ming's side for the night, but she remained silent, as if there was now a wall between them, as well as a certain amount of distance.

It was especially so when Su Ming said that the disaster would descend in five hundred years. She was clearly stunned for a moment, then she seemed to have remembered something.

Su Ming did not ask anything about it. There were certain things and certain feelings that needed to go through trials. Su Ming did not believe that he was a good partner, because the things pushing down on his heart were too heavy, so heavy that he felt as if he could not put anything else in his heart.

Yet Fang Cang Lan had walked into Su Ming's heart. With one thousand something years of persistence and waiting, she brought out a tenderness in him, and he had no reason to leave her.

Since he had already chosen her, he would stay with her his entire life, regardless of how long it would be.

This was Su Ming's determination. It did not matter whether it was friendship or love, it was the same.

He was very happy that night, and Hu Zi was also very happy. He continued causing a ruckus by saying that he wanted to find a wife and grumbling about his second senior brother being too much of a womanizer and how there were countless women by his side. He spoke his mind, and he showed… that he was jealous, very jealous.

But Hu Zi did not know that his second senior brother's womanizing ways hid the pain and regret left behind by the one and only time he fell in love and persisted with it while in the land of Berserkers.

Su Ming had seen all of it in the past. He had practically witnessed the entire process.

Their eldest senior brother did not like speaking, and it didn't change that night. He did not drink, but a warmth was exuded by his presence that was felt by his brothers. It was a warmth this cold man would definitely not show to other people.

The three people before him were his junior brothers. All of them were people who he would give up his life to protect. He did not need any woman in his life, and perhaps there was no woman in the world who could accept his headless self.

Su Ming's eldest senior brother always believed that it was enough for him to only have the three brothers in his life for the rest of his life!

When morning arrived and the first ray of sunlight appeared in the dimension of Ninth Summit, eldest senior brother left to continue training. Since there were only five hundred years left, he would make himself stronger while he could.

Hu Zi collected a large number of cultivators from Ninth Summit and the Fated Kin of the Berserkers to form a group of ten thousand cultivators to head to the outside world and patrol the area. If they found any remaining cultivators of Dark Dawn or Saint Defier, they would crush them completely.

As for second senior brother, he had many other things to do. He had to manage everything in Ninth Summit, and many of his plans had to change after he learned what would happen five hundred years later. Many new plans formed in his head, and he had to set them up one by one.

Only Su Ming was left in Ninth Summit. He sat there and stared at the blue sky. Fang Cang Lan was by his side and was watching him with a composed expression before she cast her glance at Xu Hui. Then, she lowered her head and turned around to leave. With her intelligence, she could tell that there seemed to be a wall that could not be described with words between her and Su Ming.

A mountain breeze blew towards them and lifted Xu Hui's hair. She sat quietly for a long while, then she sighed softly.

"Are you really not going to ask how I dealt with De Shun?" Xu Hui bit her bottom lip and looked at Su Ming.

He stayed silent. He put down his pot of wine and shook his head.

"If you want to tell me, even if I don't ask, you will still tell. If you don't want to say it, even if I asked, you would not answer."

"I didn't kill him," Xu Hui mumbled after some time.

"I know." There was no way Su Ming would not know everything in True Morning Dao World. Unless he did not want to, he would know everything that he wanted to know.

At that moment, De Shun was on a damaged cultivation planet at the border of the True World near the Emperor of Abyss' True World. He was staring at the heavens, and there was a hint of hatred mixed with some complicated emotions on his face. This scene was something Su Ming could see once he thought about it.

"I…" A dazed look appeared in Xu Hui's eyes. Once she heard Su Ming's words, she instinctively wanted to explain her actions, but when he lifted his hand and touched her hair, her words disappeared.

"I know that you owe him a debt of kindness, and there are blank spots in your memory. I know that," Su Ming said calmly as he caressed Xu Hui's dark locks before he pulled her into his embrace.

When Xu Hui came into contact with Su Ming's chest, she suddenly cried. The feeling of being lost and De Shun's face occasionally appearing in her head had caused her to not know what had happened to her.

But at that moment, when she was in Su Ming's embrace, everything in her mind seemed to be rearranged. The feeling of being lost disappeared, replaced by a deep wave of fatigue. Gradually, she fell asleep.

Five hundred years later, if Su Ming succeeded, then everything would be good, but if he failed, they were bound to disappear because of the disaster. Since they only had five hundred years left, why was there a need for them to make each other suffer? It would be better… to wipe off those memories.

This method was slightly domineering, but there had always been a domineering attitude hidden in Su Ming's character.

Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, three months went by. During them, Su Ming stayed in Ninth Summit and accompanied Cang Lan as well as Xu Hui. The three of them went through those days in a rare state of peace while watching the sun rise and set. There was a warm and gentle atmosphere around them, causing Hu Zi to be incredibly envious, and he started scanning the many female cultivators in Ninth Summit like he was in a rut.

During the three months, aside from staying beside Cang Lan and Xu Hui, Su Ming spent every single day drinking with his senior brothers. Amid the laughter born from all of them temporarily forgetting all their troubles, Su Ming used his vast cultivation base and will to give pointers to Hu Zi in his training, second senior brother in his path of cultivation, and eldest senior brother in better understanding the Antecedental Spirits. His fusion with the Predecessor of Dao Ocean also sped up.

The Predecessor of Dao Ocean was willing to participate in this fusion. Su Ming did not ask what happened between the two of them. He only knew that if his eldest senior brother wanted to become stronger, that he would do everything he could to help him.

During the three months, cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier continued descending without stop in the outside world. Their numbers grew, but Ninth Summit became a forbidden ground for them. None of them dared to offend them anymore, and they strictly prohibited their own from getting close to Ninth Summit.

Once they stepped into the area belonging to Ninth Summit, six-tenths of their cultivation bases would be suppressed, which was a warning.

Ninth Summit was still treated as the master of True Morning Dao World. Even if they ventured out and ran into cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, most of those people chose to retreat in silence.

The battle three months ago had determined the state of affairs in this True World.

Compared to the peace True Morning Dao World enjoyed after it, an intense battle broke out in True Sacred Yin World. The devastation brought with it the destruction of the Rune. While Dark Dawn and Saint Defier suffered a little, to them, who continued sending in a continuous flood of cultivators from their home worlds, this loss was really nothing.

Once the Rune crumbled, the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier surged in, causing True Sacred Yin World… to change masters.

On the other hand, as the Fourth True World continued fighting and resisting, a stalemate was gradually established. It happened because powerful warriors whose names were never heard of would occasionally appear in the Fourth True World to manipulate the situation of the war. As more and more of them appeared, they began to manipulate not just small areas, but the entire battlefield.

Only the Emperor of Abyss' True World remained calm. All the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier who entered the place would fuse into the Emperor of Abyss' True World and disappear without a trace.

Another month passed, and Su Ming ventured out once to go to the True Morning Dao World's All Spirits Hall. Half a month later, when he returned, he appeared to be no different from before, but only Su Ming himself knew that the moment he walked out of the world in All Spirits Hall, a will so great it was shocking gathered on his body. It had felt as if all of Arid Triad had gathered together to turn into an eye to stare at him.

It was the gaze of Arid Triad's will, because when Su Ming walked out of All Spirits Hall, he had already become so strong that he could cause the slumbering Arid Triad's will to instinctively become wary of him.

He went through five complete spirit ascensions, and it equivalent to him going through ten spirit ascensions. This was not something that had never happened when Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos was still one whole entity. After all, Su Ming was not the first to learn of All Spirits Hall, and he was not the first to have entered Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos. The All Spirits Hall had existed for countless aeons.

But Su Ming was definitely the best in this eon, and he was definitely the strongest at the present!

Chapter 1289: You Are a Walking Crystal Mine

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Arid Triad's will gathered on him, Su Ming did not choose to move back. Instead, he met Arid Triad's gaze squarely, and he kept his gaze on him for a long time. He waited for the Antecedental Spirit's disaster to descend on him, which might or might not happen, but before the disaster arrived, the sleeping Arid Triad's will gradually disappeared.

A perplexed look appeared on Su Ming's face. He had never thought to hide himself. Those from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier surely knew about him by then, and it was about time that Arid Triad knew about him as well.

He went back to Ninth Summit, and when another month passed, Su Ming chose to leave. This time, he did not leave quietly, but left with his senior brothers sending him off as well as Fang Cang Lan and Xu Hui quietly watching him as he left. He gradually went into the distance to complete the second thing he wanted to do—resolve the grudge he harbored for one thousand years.

He was also going to break the shadow over his heart brought to him by the scene he saw in the secrets of the universe.

"It's time to put an end to this. Su Xuan Yi… are you truly not going to try and retrieve the fifth kiln, where your wife sleeps? Are you really going to let me have it?"

Su Ming turned his head around and cast a glance at the crowd from Ninth Summit, then turned around and took a step forward, vanishing into thin air while murmuring to himself under his breath.

When he reappeared, Su Ming was already at the border between True Morning Dao World and the Emperor of Abyss' True World. Further away from him was a damaged cultivation planet and De Shun.

Su Ming did not care about this person. He stared at the barrier between the Emperor of Abyss' True World and True Morning Dao World. It was a wall, and behind it was the Emperor of Abyss. It was precisely because of that wall that the four True Worlds had never had any intense battles break out between them.

In the past, Su Ming did not have the right to break the wall, while Yu Xuan had only been able to move from the Emperor of Abyss' True World to Morning Dao because of her Abyss Dragon. She had used its power to move through True Worlds.

As he stared at the True World, Su Ming swung his right arm, and two long arcs immediately flew out of his storage bag. One of them was the Abyss Dragon, and the other was the bald crane.

The Abyss Dragon had mostly recovered from its injuries. When it appeared, it looked as if it wanted to speak, but it immediately had a wing slapped over its mouth by the bald crane standing by its side.

With a resentful look on its face, the bald crane glared at Su Ming. Its resentful look made it look like a bitter wife, and it was complaining about Su Ming not letting it out of his damn storage bag for a long time.

In the past, as long as it wanted to, the bald crane could come out on its own, but as Su Ming grew stronger and his will grew greater, the bald crane could no longer appear at will. It could only wait passively to be summoned. This sort of feeling caused the bald crane to feel that it had become something like a bitter and resentful wife.

Every single day, it had to live through its life counting crystals, sleeping, and hitting the Abyss Dragon, then it was counting the crystals, sleeping, and hitting the Abyss Dragon again, rinse and repeat. Every. Single. Day…

Gradually, the Abyss Dragon could no longer bear with it, and it began to resist and fight back violently, but it was difficult for it to escape from its predestined fate. At that moment, once it came out, the Abyss Dragon wept, but before it could speak, the bald crane had already slapped a wing on its mouth, and the grievance it felt reached its peak.

"SU MING!!!" the bald crane screeched.

If it had feathers, all of them would have been bristling at that moment. It looked ready to fight while full with strong, resentful, angry energy about it. As it seethed, its aura reflected that anger and served as a background to give the bald crane a sense of size.

"Y-y-you… How many days have you locked me up again this time, huh?! Oh heavens! How many days has it been?! I've already forgotten how many days have passed! I can't see sunlight, I can't see the stars! I CAN'T SEE OTHER PEOPLE'S CRYSTALS! This is torture! This is the greatest, biggest, most ultimate torture for me!

"Su Ming, you went overboard this time! I accompanied you through your expeditions over the years, went through many dangers by your side, I-I-I… I even saved you who knows how many times, but you… YOU…"

The bald crane was quivering with rage. As it continued shouting in anger, Su Ming touched his nose, and an awkward look appeared on his face. He had indeed… forgotten about the bald crane.

After all, when he was in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, he had been stunned by the truth he learned. The series of events he experienced were also all connected together, and it caused him to overlook many other things.

Only when he came to this place and saw the Emperor of Abyss' True World did he remember… that the bald crane… seemed to have been kept in his storage bag for a long time…

"Darn you, you…" While the bald crane continued shouting in rage, Su Ming raised his right hand, and a crystal appeared on his palm.

"… You… Don't even think about using a crystal to tempt me. I am the great bald crane, I'm not going to yield for just one crystal, I…"

At the instant the bald crane saw the crystal in Su Ming's hand, its eyes became fixed on it. This was the first crystal it saw in days that belonged to someone else. There might just be one, but it was someone else's! As long as it was someone else's crystal, the bald crane would never think that the number was few.

That was why when it shouted, its eyes betrayed it. Its fixated stare made it seem that if Su Ming dared to put away the crystal, the bald crane would rush forward and fight for it with its life.

"You… you bully! One crystal, this crystal…"

As the bald crane spoke, great conflict appeared on its face. Its shouts immediately much weaker, and indecision as well as a look that very obviously said there was chaos going on in its mind appeared in its eyes. It was as if its mind had been divided into two portions, and they were fighting fiercely among themselves.

"I'm going to the Emperor of Abyss' True World. I promise you that I'll give you all the crystals in that True World, alright?"

When Su Ming saw that the bald crane was waging war against itself in its mind as if it had not seen another person's crystal for far too long and was about to start doing something stupid as it was in a conflict with itself, he quickly spoketo distract it.

"You… Dream on—Darn you, what did you say?! Did you just say that you'll give me an entire True World's worth of crystals?! I… I… The mighty bald crane will absolutely not yield…"

The bald crane was practically drooling at that point. It took a few instinctive steps forward, and an obsequious look had subconsciously snuck its way on its face, but it forced it down. When it was about to give extra emphasis that it would hold Su Ming's offer in disdain but would agree to it reluctantly, Su Ming sighed.

Upon hearing it, the bald crane immediately felt its heart let out a thump. It panicked, afraid that Su Ming would go back on his word. Just as it was about to pounce on him, it saw something that it would never, ever forget in its whole life. It was a scene that shocked it more than anything else could.

To a True World's will, crystals… were objects that could be born from space if it swept through the True World with a divine thought. It was similar to what mortals said about turning stone into gold with a touch. Su Ming could create crystals with his will!

Su Ming only swept his will through the True World, and countless crystals immediately appeared around them. There were so many of them that they covered a large part of the galaxy.

The sparkling crystals stunned the bald crane. It was completely dumbstruck, and it was especially so because it had clearly seen that Su Ming had not brought out the crystals from his storage bag. After all, the bald crane had an even clearer grasp of how many crystals Su Ming had in his storage bag than he did.

"How… How… How did this happen?" the bald crane instinctively asked in a dumbfounded manner.

"I made them." At the instant Su Ming answered this question, the bald crane screeched and pounced on him to hug his thigh tightly.

"You're a walking crystal mine! From now on, you're MY walking crystal mine! Even if you lock me up for ten thousand years, I'll acknowledge it! I'll absolutely not grumble even a single bit. Walking crystal mine, give me more crystals, please… Say… Can you turn me into a crystal crane?"

Chapter 1290: The Emperor of Abyss' True World Trembles

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The bald crane's eyes sparkled as if it was looking forward to the day it would turn into a crystal crane. When it recalled how Su Ming had created crystal, the bald crane immediately forgot that it was just an illusion and felt its blood boil, somehow. As its body quivered in its excitement, it began howling.

In the bald crane's eyes, the Art Su Ming cast just then definitely took the title of the greatest Art in the universe. The ability to create crystals out of thin air was an Art it dreamed of having. To it, this was the greatest divine ability in the universe.

Even Su Ming himself did not know just how great of an impact it had on the bald crane. It was practically a dream come true that could make the bald crane do everything it could to obtain it and fight for it with its life.

Su Ming let out a dry cough. He had intentionally showed this divine ability to the bald crane to appease it, but when he saw just how excited it became, Su Ming had a vague feeling that he had gone overboard. The bald crane had actually requested that he turn it into a crystal crane…

Hence, he quickly averted his gaze and ignored the crane, choosing to direct his attention on the barrier between True Morning Dao World and the Emperor of Abyss' True World. A piercing light appeared in his eyes.

Su Ming's eyes shone brilliantly. The bald crane immediately noticed this and cast a glance at the barrier. A thought appeared in its head: The time for it to show its abilities to Su Ming had arrived. As long as Su Ming was happy and created crystals for it every day, it would enjoy the greatest bliss in its life. When it thought of this, the bald crane became excited again, but it forced down its excitement and put on an expression of righteous anger.

"That's it? How dare it stop Sir Su Ming's footsteps?! Damn it, how dare it stop the great, the almighty Sir Su Ming who can create crystals?! I… I'll fight it to the death!"

The bald crane put on an expression as if it was livid, and as it roared, it turned its back to Su Ming while sending eye signals to the Abyss Dragon nonstop. Based on its plan, the Abyss Dragon had to show anger as well, which would make the effects of their actions even better. After all, in the bald crane's impression, the Abyss Dragon was its lackey and its partner as the Dual Fiends in the past.

The Abyss Dragon was taken aback, then instinctively asked, "What… does this mean?" As it spoke, the Abyss Dragon winked as well, sending the bald crane's eye signal right back at it.

The Abyss Dragon did not understand what the bald crane meant. It was originally very excited, so why did it suddenly become so angry? The Abyss Dragon shrank back in regard to the bald crane's changes in expression. It felt that the bald crane was very terrifying.

When they were in the storage, the bald crane had beaten it up every single day to pass time, and the more it thought about it, the more it felt that it could not catch up to the bald crane's thoughts.

When the bald crane saw the dumb look on the Abyss Dragon's face, it instantly felt real anger. Just as it was about to shout at the dragon, Su Ming took a step forward and instantly appeared next to the barrier. He lifted his right hand and touched the invisible barrier.

"Shatter."

The moment Su Ming said that word in a flat tone, his right hand touched the barrier. An astonishingly loud bang instantly reverberated through half of True Morning Dao World.

As that sound traveled outwards, the bald crane gave up on the idea of giving the Abyss Dragon a flak. There was a ferocious look on its face, as if Su Ming only needed to point forward, and it would charge forth without looking back. It rushed at the barrier and crashed into it. To show off its talents so that Su Ming could create crystals for it, the bald crane had indeed decided to give it its all.

But when it touched the barrier… or rather, just before it touched the barrier, the barrier between True Morning Dao World and the Emperor of Abyss' True World changed. A trembling membrane that looked like there was light flowing in it showed up. When cracking sounds rang out in space, holes spread out through the membrane, starting from where Su Ming's right hand had touched it.

Su Ming did not move, but his hair fluttered freely. Even his white long robe danced in the wind. His face was indifferent, revealing no emotions.

He calmly watched the cracks spreading through the entire barrier. Soon, it looked like it had turned into a spider's web. Then, a loud bang shot up, and it shattered to pieces, turning into countless fragments that spilled into the Emperor of Abyss' True World.

From a distance, they looked like falling snow. The fragments reflected a brilliant light, and when they were in the galaxy, they looked like starlight. At that moment, they were swept up by the wind and created an image of an ocean of stars.

Since the ancient times, only a fine crack would occasionally appear on the barrier between two True Worlds. Not one of them had ever shattered completely like this. Yet on that day, it happened. And it was not a destruction of a small portion of the barrier, since the entire ring-shaped barrier… had shattered in different spots during that instant.

All of this might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, it happened in an instant. When the bald crane charged at the barrier, it did not touch it. Instead, it shot right through the barrier since it crumbled and fell back.

"Let's go. I'll give you the same number of crystals you can seize from the Emperor of Abyss' True World."

A smile appeared on Su Ming's face when he cast a glance at the bald crane. The bald crane had supported him for a thousand something years, so it could be said that it had already become a part of his family. Su Ming valued his relationships, and it was the same for the one he shared with the bald crane.

When Su Ming's words reached the bald crane's ears, it became excited again. While shuddering, it screeched a few sentences, and with a single move, it appeared on the Abyss Dragon's body. The Abyss Dragon was so terrified that its heart trembled, but soon, the bald crane whispered something to it, and its eyes instantly sparkled.

The light was not the sparkle of the bald crane's eyes, but was… a light that Su Ming thought gave it a rather sleazy look.

"Boss, is what you just said… real?" the Abyss Dragon was so excited that it trembled when it asked its question.

"Nonsense, of course it's real. When have I ever lied to you?" the bald crane immediately said, as if it was making a promise.

"Are you really going to let me have all the female dragons? Alright! I'll give it my all!" The Abyss Dragon's eyes turned bloodshot. With a roar, it rushed forth with the bald crane, charging straight into the Emperor of Abyss' True World.

The bald crane made a ruckus in its excitement. When it went past Su Ming, it immediately lifted its claw and waved a little.

"You promised you'll give me the exact same number of crystals I can get! Just you wait, if even one crystal will be left in this True World, then I suck."

The bald crane's voice was still echoing in space when it left into the distance with the Abyss Dragon. It intended to leave Su Ming's side and loot the crystals itself since it was afraid of him throwing it into his storage bag again…

Su Ming watched the bald crane leave and smiled faintly. He could tell what the bald crane was thinking with just one glance, but with his current level of cultivation, he could let the bald crane cause as much of a ruckus as it wanted, even if it was the Emperor of Abyss' True World.

Soon, this would no longer be the Emperor of Abyss' True World, but Su Ming's True World.

Su Ming still remembered how his will had appeared in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos' True Immortal Sect World when he entered it. He took a step forward and walked into the territory belonging to the Emperor of Abyss' True World…

All of the Emperor of Abyss' True World trembled, and countless ripples appeared out of thin air in the galaxy. At the same time, a roar that all lives in the True World could hear reverberated through the True World.

There was a wave of madness in that roar, along with great terror and an unwillingness to admit defeat. It sounded like there was a life form struggling in the most violent manner before it died. It had a powerful Abyss Death Aura contained in its roars.

This aura was different from the aura of death. There was a hint of sentience to it, along with a feeling that it was decaying, as if it could taint all forms of lives, and it caused all of the Emperor of Abyss' True World to tremble violently.

Those tremors caused all the lives in the Emperor of Abyss' True World to feel their hearts tremble. Ferocious beasts unique to only the Emperor of Abyss' True World that lived on its countless planets threw their heads back and let out shrill roars. They prostrated themselves on the ground as if they could sense death approaching them when the True World trembled.

The cultivators felt it even better. No matter what they were doing and no matter what level of cultivation they had, as long as they were lives born in the Emperor of Abyss' True World, all of them felt restless at that moment. Their cultivation bases became chaotic as if even their blood was about to gush out of their bodies.

The higher their cultivation bases were, the stronger this feeling became.

There were no sects in the Emperor of Abyss' True World, but with various families serving as its veins, they formed a ruling system similar to a dynasty.

Among them, the Emperor of Abyss' status was the highest. There were eight Kings of Abyss below him, thirty-six Generals of Abyss, which led countless armored cultivators of the Abyssal World. Each King of Abyss had a family, and it was the same case for the Generals of Abyss.

Above the Emperor of Abyss was the True World's Sublime Paragon. Among the four Great True Worlds, only the Sublime Paragon of the Emperor of Abyss' True World could make the cultivators of his True World worship him, and only in the Emperor of Abyss' True World did the Sublime Paragon have his own Abyss Paragon Palace.

Almost at the same time the True World trembled, all the families in the Emperor of Abyss' True World felt their hearts shudder. There were also quite a large number of powerful warriors who swiftly sent out a powerful presence that swept out in all directions in an attempt to search for the reason behind the True World's tremors.

Within the Emperor of Abyss' Hall was the Emperor of Abyss, who was dressed in an emperor's robe. He was a middle-aged man with an awe-imposing face, and he was staring coldly at some of the cultivators who were mocking each other with their words in his hall. Those people were talking about the large number of cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier who had appeared in the Emperor of Abyss' True World.

As he listened to those people's increasingly obvious words of ridicule, the Emperor of Abyss frowned.

"Enough, this is something the Lord Sublime Paragon has decided. What is the use of even discussing this matter?!" he said coldly. Right when his words appeared, the cultivators further down from his throne looked towards him.

"If you have any opinions about it, you can go and seek an audience with the Lord Sublime Paragon. Do not ruin my mood when I am about to bear witness to my son's marriage!"

The Emperor of Abyss frowned. The person in the hall was his clone while his real body was in the planet serving as the capital of the Emperor of Abyss' True World watching the grand marriage. At that moment, he did not want to waste any time in this place. He stood up, and when his words rang in the air, he made to leave.

But suddenly, his body trembled. The expressions of the cultivators in the hall also changed. Their hearts shook.

The pain in the soundless roar seemed to have spread into each of the lives in the True World.

Chapter 1291: A Wedding

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The tremors were especially felt by the Emperor of Abyss, whose level of cultivation was the highest in the hall. At the moment he stood up, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and with a swing of his arm, he turned into a long arc that rushed out of the hall.

"What happened?!"

Once he left, the faces of the other cultivators turned pale. Two people even had blood trickle out of the corners of their mouths. The roars of the True World echoing in space had affected their veins, and as their veins trembled, they were injured.

"This… This is the True World's will roaring in pain!" At the instant the Emperor of Abyss looked towards the galaxy, his face turned pale, and he sucked in a sharp breath.

In the Abyss Paragon Palace lived the Sublime Paragon of the Emperor of Abyss' True World.

There was a man dressed in a purple long robe there, with his appearance occasionally changing. A breath ago, he was a teenager, and a breath later, he became an old man. In between breaths, he would occasionally turn into a middle-aged man. This man was currently standing respectfully in the palace, and before him was Su Xuan Yi, sitting and meditating with a calm expression on his face.

Dressed in white robes, Su Xuan Yi sat with indifference on his face. He stared at the chess board in front of him while holding a black chess piece in his right hand. Once he placed it down, he looked at the black-robed middle-aged man sitting across from him.

The man had long hair, and it spilled over his shoulders. There was an air of someone who looked down on the world about him, and there was a powerful, mighty pressure spreading out from him, causing the Sublime Paragon, who was behind Su Xuan Yi, to feel his heart tremble slightly. To him, the black-robed man felt like a tiger crouching in its seat while the Sublime Paragon himself had become a mortal.

"Sovereign of Dawn, it's your turn. Once we finish this round, we should head to my child's wedding. The preparations there should be about ready now."

Su Xuan Yi smiled faintly. The black-robed man before him was naturally… the strongest person who had descended from Dark Dawn's camp—the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei!

The person who had been terrified into leaving from Ninth Summit's premises was his clone. Right then, the one sitting in the palace was his real self, but even so, he knew all about the things that had happened to his clone, and it became the matter he was most wary of in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, though it was buried in the depths of his heart.

And it was precisely that matter that made him to choose to stay in the Emperor of Abyss' True World for a prolonged period of time. Based on what he knew, the terrifying existence in True Morning Dao World only cared about Ninth Summit. As long as he did not provoke Ninth Summit, the terrifying old monster would not come searching for trouble.

Otherwise, his clone would not have been able to escape. Based on this, he could tell that the monster did not want to kill him, but even so, he still felt rather uneasy and anxious. Fortunately, nothing had happened to him over the past few months, and he felt slightly more at ease, but no matter what, he had already made his decision that he absolutely would not return to True Morning Dao World.

Yan Lei smiled. His emotions did not show on his face, and his smile was incredibly faint. He lifted his right hand and placed a white piece on the chess board. Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed.

At that moment, the expression of the Sublime Paragon behind Su Xuan Yi changed. When he raised his head, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, then stumbled a few steps backwards. He coughed up blood again. His injuries were clearly much worse than the Emperor of Abyss', because he was the Sublime Paragon of this True World. He was the only Sublime Paragon here, which was why the damage dealt to him by the will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World when it roared with an unwillingness to admit defeat was the greatest.

As for Su Xuan Yi, he noticed none of this. He was not a member of this True World to begin with. At that moment, he only frowned. He could sense that the True World was trembling, and he had also noticed that the True World's will was roaring because it had run into some accident.

In silence, he closed his eyes. The moment he did so, his will covered an endless distance and went straight into the depths of the Emperor of Abyss' True World. In it, there was a layer of fog resembling a vortex tumbling about.

Seated at the center of the vortex was a figure. He was… also Su Xuan Yi. When his eyes flew open, an ancient and freezing look appeared in them. The person here was his real self, and the person who had been playing against Yan Pei had been his clone.

'The Essence of this True World's will gathered into this vortex once I readjusted it many years ago. A new will can be born in it… My blood is in the vortex, and once this will is born, it will fuse with my body. Damn it, did some accident happen?'

Su Xuan Yi furrowed his brow. His divine sense spread out and swept through the Emperor of Abyss' True World, but he did not find any clues. As for Su Ming… Su Xuan Yi could not see him.

He could only see the Emperor of Abyss' True World roaring and struggling in pain, as if its will was being Possessed, but no matter how Su Xuan Yi searched, he could not find any traces of the True World's will being Possessed.

'Could it be that it's because the will in this vortex formed by its Essence is about to be born? It might have caused the will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World to struggle…'

Deep in thought, Su Xuan Yi let out a cold harrumph and closed his eyes.

At the instant he did so, his other self from Abyss Paragon Palace opened his eyes.

"Some problems have appeared with this True World's will," the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei said faintly.

He had already sent his divine sense out to scan the entire True World, but he did not detect anything wrong. However, he could tell that the will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World was swiftly becoming weaker, as if it was rapidly dying, but even though it was dying quickly, if he factored in time, it would still need around one hundred years before it truly perished.

"It's fine. It's due to something on my side. It isn't connected with the outside world. Lord Yan Pei, this game… hmm?"

Before Su Xuan Yi could finish speaking, a dark look appeared on his face. He looked into the distance, and his gaze seemed to see through space and into the planet serving as the capital of the Emperor of Abyss' True World.

All the preparations for the grand wedding were ready and on standby; everyone was just waiting for his arrival. This was an important part in his plan that Su Xuan Yi had been planning for tens of thousands of years. He could not allow any accidents to occur, but right then… something unforeseen appeared.

"I knew… that he would show signs of betraying me on this day!"

When Su Xuan Yi uttered those words in a cold voice, he stood up and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Yan Pei before bowing.

"A disciple of mine betrayed me, and he has followed me for many years too, hah…" Su Xuan Yi shook his head.

"Alright, I understand what you mean, Fellow Daoist Su. I… will help you kill this person. Treat it as a reward for helping Dark Dawn's camp. As for the Abyss Builders, since I've already made my promise to you, I will definitely not go back on my word. We will not stay for long in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. It is impossible for us to do so in any case. In the future… this place will only belong to the Abyss Builders."

"Thank you, Sovereign of Dawn."

Su Xuan Yi bowed deeply to Yan Pei again, but only he could hear the cold laughter in his own heart. With how ambitious Su Xuan Yi was, there was no way he would be willing to be someone's subordinate. Using Dark Dawn's camp was just a temporary measure and only a branch of his plan, which was necessary for him to mend certain things, because his plan had diverged previously.

They were only using each other. This was something Yan Pei knew as well. He watched Su Xuan Yi bow to him, and he laughed coldly in his heart too. The person before him was just a chess piece, and he was the player. No matter how important a chess piece was, it would not be able to stir up a storm in the player's heart. At most… he would just play another round.

In the planet serving as the capital of the Emperor of Abyss' True World was an incredibly large cultivation planet formed by using a great divine ability to merge nearly one thousand planets together. Even from a distance, it looked incredibly huge, and if anyone stood on the cultivation planet, the feeling as if there was no end to the sky and earth would cause that person to feel as if the sky had been turned into the land.

On the large cultivation planet was a boundless sea. There was a huge ancient tree growing out from its bottom, and there were more than one million cultivators there to send their blessings for the grand wedding held at the tree.

The ancient tree was so large that each leaf was like a field. From a distance, the tree looked so tall that it touched the sky. In fact, there was even a legend surrounding the ancient tree.

It said that the reason behind the merging of nearly one thousand cultivation planets into a single cultivation planet was the discovery of the ancient tree. It was so old that it did not seem like it belonged to this time, but was from an even earlier age. In fact, there was a rumor saying that the tree… was something from a previous aeon. It had somehow avoided dying from the disaster and had survived until then.

Of course, that rumor was not something an ordinary cultivator would know. Only Almighties who had a vague understanding of some of the history of Arid Triad could know something like that and spread the information around. Most of them also believed that this was close to the truth.

A moment ago, there had been one million cultivators gathered on the ancient tree. They were all from the Emperor of Abyss' True World's various families and had come to give their blessings, because the groom in the wedding was the third prince of the Emperor of Abyss' True World.

It did not matter whether it was because of his appearance, his cultivation base in Mastery Realm, or his status, this person had an incredibly noble status in the Emperor of Abyss' True World. When all of these factors were lumped together, his presence was enough to make many people envious of him.

Even though the third prince had some flaws, was once very tyrannical, and even had a ruthless and brutal reputation, all of this was in the past. During the past few years, his personality seemed to have changed. He was no longer tyrannical and overbearing, but had instead become level-headed. In fact, his appearance had also slowly changed, and he had gained quite the awe-inspiring air.

It was as if he had grown up. This was something that was incredibly clear to all who saw him, and it caused many people to slowly take note of it during the last couple years.

He might have seemed to be in Mastery Realm, but all the cultivators in Mastery Realm felt their hearts tremble when they were before him, as if they had been suppressed, and even those in Life Realm were affected. In fact, even the family elders of the eight families belonging to the Kings of Abyss felt suppressed when they stood before the third prince, even if they were in Death Realm.

The bride was not someone unknown to the public either. Her name was Yu Xuan, and she was a direct descendant of a King of Abyss whose family was destroyed in the past, the woman who ran from her marriage but still ended up standing before them.

The place was bustling with activity. The sounds of human chatter were loud. Laughter reverberated through the air. Congratulatory words came from each family, and their voices rose and fell as the preparations for the wedding were completed. It was about to start… but that was something from a moment ago.

At that moment, the will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World roared, causing the hearts of all cultivators in the place to tremble. Then, as if the apocalypse had arrived, everything descended into chaos.

An old man whose face was much older than in the past turned into a long arc without hesitation and charged out while the ancient roar rang in the air. Wherever he went, the world looked as if it was about to be torn apart. He rushed to the center, right where Yu Xuan stood and stared into the distance numbly, like a puppet.

Next to her was the third prince, who watched the chaos around him coldly and whose face was expressionless.

Chapter 1292: Art of Time

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Xuan looked numb, as if she had already accepted her fate. She sat like a puppet and watched the chaos before her as well as the changes of expression on everyone's faces. The roars from the will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World did not seem to affect her. It was as if… she was not a part of this True World.

She stared at the gray-robed old man charging towards her from the sky in the form of a long arc. He used the chance of the chaos to close in on her.

The old man had white hair. His expression was filled with sadness, and there was determination on his face. This person… was Mo Sang, Su Ming's elder!

Mo Sang was no longer the young man Su Ming had seen in Morning Dao Sect, but had instead turned into an old man. His appearance was the exact same… as that of the elder in Su Ming's memories!

The third prince of the True World sat calmly and watched Mo Sang approach. A hint of a complicated expression that no one else could see appeared on his face. This complicated emotion ran deep in him, as if it had seeped into his soul.

He sighed in his heart, and the third prince shifted his gaze away, giving up on wanting to lift his hand and choosing instead to close his eyes. At the moment he closed his eyes, Elder Mo Sang approached Yu Xuan.

"Go!"

Elder Mo Sang grabbed Yu Xuan's left hand, and the resolute look in his eyes was reflected in Yu Xuan's own. She lifted her head and stared at him. With the same numb look still on her face, she shook her head.

The sadness in Elder Mo Sang's eyes grew even more prominent. He raised his left hand and patted the center of Yu Xuan's brow. The numb look in her eyes was immediately shaken, as if she had started to struggle against something. At the same time, the elder pulled her into his arms and turned into a long arc that charged to a leaf on the ancient tree in front of him.

There were three men in black robes there. In the face of the chaos around them, they only had cold looks on their faces. The light from a Relocation Rune shone under their feet.

The third prince opened his eyes and watched Mo Sang take Yu Xuan away without saying a word. He watched them approach the leaf with the Relocation Rune during the chaos around them. As the light from the Rune shone, their bodies became indistinct.

He sighed softly, and the third prince mumbled in a tone that only he himself could hear, "The changes in this True World clearly show that he is here…"

Almost the moment the third prince mumbled to himself, Elder Mo Sang and Yu Xuan became nearly transparent from their previous indistinct state while they were on the leaf in the distance. At the instant they were about to be Relocated, a cold harrumph reverberated through the world with thunderous booms.

At the instant the cold harrumph was head, Su Xuan Yi walked out of the sky. Behind him was the Sublime Paragon of the True World. Beside him was the black-robed Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, who looked cold and arrogant.

The entire place fell silent. The one million cultivators on the ancient tree had pale faces, but their wills no longer broke down because of the chaos in their cultivation bases. Instead, they regained some semblance of thought, though with much difficulty. The entire place felt as if a huge force had pushed down on it.

"Time, reverse!"

A faint voice came from Su Xuan Yi's mouth. There was an unparalleled mighty pressure in his words, as if the laws that came from his mouth had to be enforced, and no one could question them.

At the moment his voice rang in the air, the Relocation Rune where Elder Mo Sang and Yu Xuan were immediately shuddered, and as if time had begun to flow in reverse, their figures gained corporeal form from their previous transparent state. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in the Relocation Rune once more.

In fact, right after appearing on the Relocation Rune, Elder Mo Sang and Yu Xuan began moving backwards. They rushed back to the third prince's side. When Yu Xuan went back to sit in her seat and Su Ming's elder began moving back again to return to the Relocation Rune, Su Xuan Yi lifted his right hand and pointed at Mo Sang while standing in midair.

Immediately, as the time in the entire place reversed, the elder's body stopped moving, as if he was a stone in a river that could not move.

Threads appeared on his body. They bound him, for they were the marks of time.

While time was flowing in reverse, changes also occurred in the one million cultivators in the area. They returned to the state when their faces had filled with pain when the will of the True World roared, but soon, all of this changed. They returned to the state when the wedding was bustling with activity before the True World's will roared.

This divine ability was astonishing. The area in which the time had reversed was not huge, but nearly one million cultivators were involved. The shock brought by this scene was reflected on the face of the Sublime Paragon who stood behind Su Xuan Yi. His breathing quickened, and when he looked at Su Xuan Yi, great fanaticism and respect appeared on his face.

In fact, even the pupils of Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei shrank slightly, but soon, a smile appeared at the corners of his lips. The stronger the chess piece he chose, the greater the benefits it would bring him.

"As expected of the Abyss Builders. There is indeed a reason behind why Great Abyss Tribe was known as one of the three strongest tribes in Ancient Wei and stood on equal power with Great Berserker Tribe as well as Heavenly Spirit Tribe."

Several breaths later, the reversal of time came to a halt, and everything returned to normal, as if the entire world had just been deceived. Su Xuan Yi had used his divine ability to manipulate time to change everything.

"This is a grand wedding, and we will not allow anyone to interrupt it. Today, my daughter will get married. I am very grateful that all of you have come to celebrate this occasion with me, and hence, we shan't let anything destroy our mood."

Su Xuan Yi smiled faintly, then turned around and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow to Yan Pei, who was by his side.

"Sovereign of Dawn, please."

"Today, your daughter will get married. I am just a guest, so I cannot be the first to move. Fellow Daoist Su, you should not care too much about etiquette in this situation," Yan Pei said with a smile while laughing lightly.

Su Xuan Yi had a smile on his face. He did not say much, and once he bowed, he walked with the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei to the third prince and Yu Xuan. They stopped before the two people about to get married.

The third prince's expression was the same. When he stood up, Yu Xuan once more looked like a puppet whose strings were jerked. She got up, and the both of them bowed to Su Xuan Yi as well as the Sovereign of Dawn beside him.

It was quiet all around them. The one million cultivators in the area were stunned by Su Xuan Yi's divine ability, and even the Emperor of Abyss was not exempt from that. The third prince might be his son, but right then, he felt as if he did not have the right to speak or join this occasion.

He wanted to walk over, but when the Sublime Paragon who was behind Su Xuan Yi cast him a flat glance, the Emperor of Abyss instantly felt his heart tremble. He quickly stopped himself and sighed in his heart. To him, this was not his son taking a wife, but Su Xuan Yi forcing his son to marry his daughter.

Su Xuan Yi first cast a glance at Yu Xuan, then at the third prince. A prideful look appeared on his face. When he looked at the third prince before him, a rare expression of affection could be seen within his smile. However, at the instant that look entered his face, he looked at Yu Xuan, making it difficult for others to tell just who that affection was directed to.

"Since I have come to the wedding today, I will use this item to bless the newly wedded couple so they can be together forever." The Sovereign of Dawn smiled faintly. When he lifted his right hand, two bells appeared in his hand, and he placed them on Yu Xuan's palm.

"Thank you, senior," Yu Xuan said softly with a numb expression and curtsied. By her side, the third prince bowed while remaining level-headed and thanked him quietly.

Yan Pei observed Yu Xuan. With his level of cultivation, he could tell with just one glance that there were a lot of seals placed on the woman. In fact, even her thoughts and soul had been sealed. When he shifted his gaze to the third prince, he found the young man's presence rather strange. However, the Sovereign of Dawn was not curious enough to pay any attention to it. With a smile, he looked at the one million cultivators below him, and there was derision as well as scorn hidden beneath his amiable expression.

He lifted his right hand and swung it. Immediately, Elder Mo Sang, who was bound by the threads of time in the distance, was brought to him. The elder's face was calm, but sadness would fill his eyes when he looked at Yu Xuan.

"Do you want to die after you witness this marriage, or right now?" the Sovereign of Dawn asked. His tone made it obvious that he was going to decide the elder's life and death himself.

At the same time, Su Xuan Yi sat down at the top of the hall, right beside the Sovereign of Dawn. He did not even cast a glance at Mo Sang. Instead, he stared at Yu Xuan and the third prince before him. Then, he shifted his gaze to look at the one million cultivators, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The wedding may begin."

When he spoke, the Sublime Paragon took a step forward and walked to the left. He was to officiate the grand wedding.

Beyond the planet serving as the capital of the Emperor of Abyss' True World, the will of the True World was roaring. Its voice filled the entire True World, but the sound could not enter the dimension where the ancient tree and the sea was, because Su Xuan Yi had reversed the flow of time there.

Su Xuan Yi, thus, did not see the long-haired and white-robed Su Ming walking towards that planet. Wherever he went, the Emperor of Abyss' True World would roar in an even shriller manner, but it was already in its dying throes. Su Ming's will was slowly born in the Emperor of Abyss' True World as its will slowly died away, and he gradually gained control.

With Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos' True Sky Hill World in his possession acting as the correspondence for the Emperor of Abyss' True World, it was impossible for the True World's will to fight against its destined destruction.

While going forward, Su Ming saw the bald crane and the Abyss Dragon sneakily leaving a cultivation planet in the Emperor of Abyss' True World. They took away all the crystals in the planet, and even the crystal veins hidden underground could not escape the bald crane's claws.

Feeling pleased and excited, the bald crane headed to another cultivation planet with the Abyss Dragon leading the way.

Su Ming continued to walk forward with a calm expression. With each step he took, he would create an endless expanse of emptiness. His will had gathered in the space behind him, and it was so great that it suppressed the will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World so greatly that it could not fight back. It could only let out the soundless roars while struggling with its last breath.

The level of his cultivation base and will made Su Ming the strongest person in his aeon, which gave him the right to overlook all manner of lives. Regardless of whether it was Dark Dawn, Saint Defier, or Arid Triad, there was no place Su Ming could not step into, and there were few people who could stop him.

In silence, Su Ming stopped walking right outside the planet serving as the capital of the Emperor of Abyss' True World. He stared at the huge cultivation planet formed by one thousand planets before him, and he saw the ocean in it, the ancient tree… as well as the people on the tree.

"I have come…" Su Ming mumbled.

Almost the moment Su Ming directed his gaze on the huge ancient tree, it… hummed and lurched for the first time in the countless years it had existed in that aeon!

Chapter 1293: I Did Not Bear Witness To It!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As a butterfly, Harmonious Morus Alba had been made to stay in the boundless space for all eternity. No one knew just how many worlds had been born and grown to prosperity in it. This matter had been going on for so long that perhaps not even Harmonious Morus Alba itself knew about it.

The repetitions of the aeons, the lives that appeared time and again before they died from disasters were like the snow falling from the sky. Perhaps each snowflake was an aeon and contained all manner of lives. When they landed on the ground, they would be buried in the land, but more would fall from the sky. As there was no end to the snow, there was also no end to all lives.

Even if a person saw one land on the ground with their own eyes, they would never know just how many snowflakes had fallen from the sky in a snowstorm…

It was the same for Harmonious Morus Alba, which was why it did not know how many worlds had prospered on its wings.

There were four eras in the last aeon, and Su Ming was in the fourth era. Perhaps in the future, when people tried to figure out what had happened in the past and looked through the history recordings, they would be able to find some traces of the marks linking to this era. They would contain hints connected to the five Great True Worlds of the fourth era.

The rise and fall of the Fifth True World, the coexistence of the four Great True Worlds, Su Ming's existence, the return of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier… all of these were the marks of the fourth era.

Before the fourth era was the third era, and Su Ming had found the marks of that era. They were the nine Great True Worlds, Sui Chen Zi, Ecang, and Old Man Extermination.

There were only three marks linked to the second era, and they were Shu, Wei, and Wu! It had been an era filled with tribes and plagued by wars and slaughter. It was also the most prosperous era, when there were still Antecedental Spirits. The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe was the tribe elder of Heavenly Spirit Tribe…

That era had been born due to a disaster, and it ended when Shu and Wu left, becoming Saint Defier and Dark Dawn respectively, and when Wei dissipated, the nine Great True Worlds were formed.

The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe was a person from the second era. He was born at the final days of the first era, and he died… at the final days of the fourth era. It could be said that he had nearly lived through every single era in his aeon.

When he was born, he was in the first era, a world in which the Ancestral Spirits existed. They taught all manner of lives everything they knew. As the Ancestral Spirits formed their own camps and divided themselves into three, the era, which was born due to the disaster that descended on the previous aeon, also ended because of a disaster.

However, the disaster that fell on it was not the disaster of the aeon that affected a huge area. It was what remained of the disaster that had wiped out the entire aeon, and it only affected a small area. It destroyed all the people who did not merge with their other selves from Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos from the previous aeon and had managed to escape the Aeonic Disaster with a unique method, since it was regarded as cheating.

They had been wiped out by the remnant of the Aeonic Disaster, and hence, the first era ended. Yet before the people of that time died, they summoned the All Spirits Hall. The legacy of the hall started at that time.

Before that aeon and the first era in which the Ancestral Spirits lived, there were other items that remained for all eternity. They did not fuse with their other selves, but were still not destroyed, possibly because their continued existences were permitted by Harmonious Morus Alba… and there was also a possibility that Arid Triad's will could not bear to see them disappear.

One of them was… a huge tree that had once lived on a planet many aeons ago. There was once a teenage boy under that tree who talked about his grievances, love, friendships, and everything that happened in his life.

Many years later, the tree grew up with the teenager, and with the teenager's help, it became an evergreen. One day, the teenager of the past grew into a middle-aged man, and he whispered a few words quietly under the tree, "I'm leaving. If I fail, then there will surely be others who will come searching for my path and continue down this road. If I succeed… then you will never be destroyed. On the day a will is born within you, you will know that I have succeeded."

That teenager was Arid Triad.

From then on, the tree lived through all Aeonic Disasters and was never destroyed. When its will was born, it watched the sun rise and set, the planets change, the galaxies being replaced, and it knew that the teenager had succeeded, but occasionally, it would remember the past. It would remember the low murmurs of the teenager while sitting against its trunk. When the tree remembered the past, it usually lasted an aeon.

It could sense that the teenager had changed. He had become unfamiliar and terrifying, but his promise that the tree would never be destroyed had never changed.

On that day, while it was reminiscing about the past, the tree suddenly sensed a pair of eyes in the galaxy looking at it. Their gaze made it feel as if it had just seen the teenager of the past, but when it thought about it carefully, it found that this person was not him.

But the two people were very similar. This was not in terms of their spirits, appearances, or their blood. It was… simply a feeling that they were similar.

This familiar feeling came from the two's powerful conviction to become great and do things that no person in the past had done, which came from the heart and the desire to protect people and things they absolutely had to protect.

Su Ming stared at the tree on the cultivation planet. He could see the ancient air about it. In fact, he could sense the great feeling of age. The heaviness of it made Su Ming instantly realize that the tree… was not born in the last aeon.

With a step forward, he stepped into the planet and appeared above the vast ocean. He stood on the waves on the surface of the sea, right under the huge ancient tree, just like how the teenager from the past had stood a long, long time ago to speak of grievances that he could tell no one else.

While standing there quietly, Su Ming could hear the cheers and laughter from the leaves, which were as large as grass fields, on the ancient tree's crown. The cheers were very fake, and the laughter filled with an obsequious tone. Each cultivator wore an invisible mask, and it would naturally change based on all the changes in the world.

The masks of some people were very good. When they changed them, no one could tell the difference. Yet some people were still not very good at using them. When they changed their masks, they were not too adept, making mistakes. But to Su Ming, it was all the same—he only saw a marriage of falsehoods.

The bride had a numb expression on her face, and her entire body was covered in seals. The groom had an aloof face, but there was a complicated expression in his eyes that seemed to be filled with anguish.

The Emperor of Abyss, who was the prince's father, could not even join the wedding. He had to watch quietly from a distance, and the sigh he could not let out turned into a sigh filled with various emotions in his heart.

Even the Sublime Paragon no longer had the dignity of a powerful person. He had willingly lowered his head to become a witness to the absurdity. The father was no longer the father, and the son no longer the son. There was also the Sovereign of Dawn who was watching all of it with a cold, derisive sneer. To Su Ming… all of this was an incredibly hilarious joke.

Only the Elder Mo Sang was a color in the absurd situation that caused Su Ming to feel gentleness in his heart.

Su Ming lifted his right hand and pressed it on the ancient tree. At the instant he came into contact with it, an old voice appeared in his mind. It spoke slowly, with long pauses between each word, which dissolved into lingering echoes in the air.

"What… is… your… name?"

Su Ming was silent for a moment before he said softly, "Su Ming."

"Su Ming… you… give me a feeling… that you are the same as him…" The ancient tree sighed as its murmurs echoed in Su Ming's mind. "He is… Arid Triad… He told me… that when my will is born, I will know… that he has succeeded…"

Su Ming was silent as he looked at the ancient tree. In truth, he had already somewhat guessed its identity before he even came near it. There was definitely a reason behind why the tree could exist for all eternity in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. This reason was clearly not because the tree had fused with its other self, since all such existences were still asleep for the time being. Even if they could temporarily awaken using certain methods, it would be difficult for them to remain awake for all eternity.

It was just like…

Su Ming had been very puzzled in the past as to why Di Tian wanted to hide in Yin Death Vortex and did not come out from it. However, once he learned that there was a certain group of people in the world who had fused with their other selves, which made them indestructible in the face of the disaster but put them to sleep for all time besides a total of two hundred years—one hundred years before the disaster and one hundred years after the disaster that would signal the end of an aeon—Su Ming obtained his answer.

Clearly, Di Tian was not Di Tian, and neither was he the Sublime Paragon of True Morning Dao World. Perhaps a Sublime Paragon was indeed involved in this, but he had been reduced to a soul fragment after he fought against Su Xuan Yi. And that soul fragment might have satisfied certain conditions… which had allowed it become a clone formed by the Di Tian who was not Di Tian.

"Yin Death Vortex is a good place to sleep," Su Ming had said when he turned his head back and cast a scrutinizing glance at Yin Death Vortex before he left it behind and headed to Ninth Summit.

"If… you have the chance to meet him, please remember to tell him… to come and see me… It's been… a long time since… I met him."

The ancient voice of the tree rose and fell in Su Ming's heart as it revealed the sigh hidden within the words.

"He can hear you. Perhaps… before long, he will appear," Su Ming said softly after staying quiet for a moment. He patted the ancient tree and raised his head before taking a step forward to walk towards the wedding on the tree crown.

No one could see his arrival, be it Su Xuan Yi or the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei. If Su Ming did not want them to, no one could notice Su Ming's arrival.

Except… for the third prince.

As the Sublime Paragon of this True World's congratulatory words for the wedding echoed in the air and he laughed, the third prince suddenly lifted his head and stared into the distance. Standing there… he saw Su Ming.

There was a complicated and conflicted look on the third prince's face. When he looked at Su Ming, Su Ming also looked at him.

"Is the Seed of Life Extermination really that important?"

When Su Ming looked at the third prince, he could no longer see the good-for-nothing young man of the past. Instead, he saw a familiar figure. Su Ming was not surprised by that person's existence. He had already learned of everything when he was in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos.

Before him was his childhood friend, his best friend when he was a teenager… his companion who patted his chest and told Su Ming loudly that he would protect Su Ming his entire life!

Su Ming's voice echoed in the air, but it did not enter other people's ears. Only the third prince could hear him. He was silent, speechless, and filled with mixed emotions, which made him… not know how to answer Su Ming.

After a long while, Lei Chen shook his head and mumbled softly, "You don't understand…"

"I now declare that all the families in the Emperor of Abyss' True World will bear witness to the greatest wedding in our True World. It will also be witnessed by the True World's will…"

The Sublime Paragon of the True World could not see Su Ming, and he was still saying all the congratulatory words with a smile. The one million cultivators present one the leaves could not see Su Ming either, and they were still cheering and laughing. Su Xuan Yi could not see Su Ming, and he was still watching the man and woman before him with an affectionate look on his face.

The man was Su Xuan Yi's son, and the woman was the partner he had chosen for his son. It was… a state of completion when the Seed of Life Extermination received all its nourishment!

The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, too, could not see Su Ming. When he smiled, there was contempt in his heart. He lifted his right hand and was about to place it on top of Mo Sang's head to kill him so that red would appear in the wedding, just like how red would always be used in joyous occasions.

But at that moment…

"I will not bear witness to this."

Su Ming's words echoed in the ears of all the living beings on the tree. His voice was faint, but at the instant it was heard, everyone felt like thunder had roared in their hearts, for it was a voice like the will of heaven.

Chapter 1294: Lowly

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Ming's voice rumbled like thunder in the air. It spread in every direction, causing the hearts of the near one million cultivators in the area to tremble violently. They shook at an intensity of the earth and mountains during an earthquake. Not only everyone begin to shiver, but their cultivation bases were instantly thrown into chaos. They could not gather them at all.

The one million cultivators coughed up blood at once, and a bloody stench instantly filled the area. Patches of red also appeared on the leaves of the ancient tree.

The pain the one million cultivations in the Emperor of Abyss' True World felt at that moment surpassed what they had felt when they were suppressed by the mighty pressure formed by the True World's will roaring. They felt as if their bodies were being torn apart and their cultivation bases were on the verge of exploding and surging out of their bodies. Shrill screams of pain rang out everywhere.

The thirty-six Generals of Abyss were all present for the wedding. Their levels of cultivation varied while ranging between Fate Realm to Life Realm, but no matter what level of cultivation they possessed, shock appeared on their pale faces at that moment.

The eight Kings of Abyss were also there. They sat near the hall and were looking at the Sublime Paragon with smiles on their faces. At the instant Su Ming's voice echoed in their ears, their souls immediately shook. Their bodies jolted, and they could not control it.

They felt as if their minds had been forcefully suppressed by a will to such an extent that it was difficult even to breathe. Even if they were in Death Realm, right then, they felt like helpless mortals in the face of a disaster.

The Emperor of Abyss' face went stark white at that moment. He held a tight grip over the leaf under him with his right hand. The buzzing sounds by his ears did not stop, and for a time, he could not hear everything around him.

Compared to him, the Sublime Paragon was in a better condition, but there was also blood trickling out of the corners of his mouth. He staggered a few steps backward and lifted his head. Swiftly, he hid his shock beneath a ferocious look when he met eyes with… Su Ming, who had walked out of thin air in the distance!

Dressed in white, he looked like a cloud drifting elegantly in the sky. His long hair spilled over his shoulders like ink. His expression was one of indifference. His gaze was as calm as water, which came from seeing through all vicissitudes of life. He looked as if he had walked out of a picture, and he gave off an otherworldly air.

At the moment he saw Su Ming, a brilliant light shone in Su Xuan Yi's eyes. His killing intent instantly rose to its peak as he glared at Su Ming, and his breathing immediately quickened. His hate for Su Ming had grown so deep that it was embedded into his bones. This hate was mainly due to Su Xuan Yi being forced to leave after he was defeated when the two of them had fought over Possessing True Morning Dao World. The preparations he had made for years had all been in vain, and the effect of this event on his plans was quite great.

If it was anyone else fighting over True Morning Dao World with him, his hate would not have been so intense, but Su Ming had been the one who fought over it against him, and Su Xuan Yi could not accept this. He could not accept that the boy who could only be used, who was discarded after he finished nourishing the Seed of Life Extermination, and had even been stupid enough to think that he was his father had snatched away Su Xuan Yi's True Morning Dao World.

To him, Su Ming was incredibly stupid and destined to be manipulated for his entire life. If Su Xuan Yi wanted Su Ming to live, he would live, and if he wanted him to die, he had to die. His destiny was bound to be controlled by Su Xuan Yi, and Su Xuan Yi could manipulate him at will.

It did not matter whether Su Ming was in Dark Mountain, the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, Morning Dao Sect, or Arid Triad's gap. In Su Xuan Yi's eyes, Su Ming had always been incredibly stupid. He could use Su Ming to the limit, until he no longer had any value. It was especially obvious when Su Xuan Yi fully used him up to nourish the Seed of Life Extermination. Once he served his purpose, Su Xuan Yi would have killed him a long time ago if it had not been because Sang could not bear to see him die.

He was an existence akin to an ant, and it was impossible for him to compare to his son, much less to Su Xuan Yi himself. Su Ming was a slave, and Su Xuan Yi was his master!

When Su Ming had demanded why Su Xuan Yi had sent Yu Xuan away in that incredibly ludicrous manner of his, Su Xuan Yi's real thought had been to laugh coldly and regard him with contempt, regardless of what his expression had showed at that time.

Yu Xuan was the second person Su Xuan Yi chose to nourish the Seed of Life Extermination, and she was also the partner he had chosen for his real son. There was no way he would let Su Ming touch her with his lowly status!

To Su Xuan Yi, while Su Ming was an Abyss Builder, he was destined to be a slave for his people. He was not worthy of the partner he had chosen for his real son.

Everything was in his control. With one word, he could sentence Su Ming to death. This feeling had existed in Su Xuan Yi for such a long time that he could not accept Su Ming's sudden appearance when he was Possessing True Morning Dao World. Su Xuan Yi was a fierce and ambitious person, so when Su Ming had defeated him, allowing him to only watch helplessly as the ant Possessed True Morning Dao World with the preparations he had made for many years, the pain in his heart made him feel as if he was being torn apart.

Su Xuan Yi could not heal that wound, and he did not want it to heal either. He had intended to pass True Morning Dao World to his son once he Possessed it so that it would serve as the foundation for the Abyss Builders to rise to power.

But all of this had been snatched by the lowly slave before him. The hate in Su Xuan Yi's heart made his killing intent reach a monstrous degree the moment he saw Su Ming.

With a cold harrumph, he sat up straight in his seat. His killing intent might have reached a monstrous degree, but Su Xuan Yi was not a rash person. In his eyes, Mo Sang had definitely made secret preparations for Su Ming to be able to appear in this place, and since Su Ming had dared to come, he had to have someone or something to depend on.

'I am here, and my beloved son as well as the Sovereign of Dawn are here as well. This boy… will not be able to do anything!'

He did not know that Su Ming had gone to Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, or else he would definitely be reacting differently at that moment.

The moment Su Xuan Yi looked at Su Ming with a cold sneer, by his side, the originally arrogant-looking Sovereign of Dawn suddenly changed. His expression went through such an unprecedented shift that he shivered in his seat. Even his breathing quickened slightly. His pupils shrank, and shock as well as extreme terror filled his heart, making his skin crawl, and he instinctively wanted to stand up and run away.

His light shudders surprised Su Xuan Yi, but when he looked at him, Yan Pei's expression had already returned to normal. His fear and shock had been hidden beneath a relaxed demeanor. With his level of cultivation, there were only a handful of people who could make him so terrified, and Su Ming was one of them, which was why when he saw Su Ming and heard Su Ming's words, he was horrified. The scene in True Morning Dao World a few months ago had been enough to completely intimidate the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei.

He ignored Su Xuan Yi's gaze when he looked at him. Yan Pei fixed his eyes on Su Ming. When Su Ming spoke, he felt that his voice was slightly familiar, and when he appeared, the Sovereign of Dawn's heart had trembled violently. He might have never seen Su Ming before… but he would never forget his voice.

That voice was like a nightmare in his mind. It belonged to a person who could determine his life and death with a flick of his wrist. The scenes beyond Ninth Summit still made him feel lingering fear when he thought about them. Yan Pei had no doubt in his mind that this person… was the terrifying old monster who had made him utterly terrified when they were outside Ninth Summit!

'It's him!! IT'S HIM!!' a voice screamed in Yan Pei's heart. He felt chills down his spine, and his hands as well as his feet immediately became cold, but he did not show a single hint of it on his face. However, a huge storm that had never appeared before had started raging in his heart.

'Damn it, I've already left True Morning Dao World and ordered all cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to not provoke Ninth Summit. I don't even… I don't even have the courage to take even half a step into True Morning Dao World again, so why?!

'WHY??!!

'Why did he chase me down to this place? I… I…'

Yan Pei's face turned slightly pale. Countless thoughts immediately rose in his head, but right when they appeared, they were immediately crushed by the memory of Su Ming's terrifying power.

No one could see the Sovereign of Dawn's emotions. Su Xuan Yi only saw the displeased expression on his face. He had a crease between his eyebrows as feeling some displeasure at such a matter.

"Sovereign of Dawn, it seems like we have embarrassed ourselves. This person is a lowly slave of mine, and today, he came here to destroy my son's wedding day. I will definitely have his blood spilt in this place!"

Su Xuan Yi's cold voice echoed in the air, and he turned his head to glare at Su Ming coldly.

He did not know that his words had caused an even greater storm to rage in Yan Pei's heart. The intensity of that storm even surpassed what Yan Pei had felt when he saw Su Ming's sudden arrival. It almost caused the Sovereign of Dawn's expression to change drastically, and he nearly stood up in shock.

"You… You said that… You said that he is your slave?" The storm raged in Yan Pei's heart, and as it roared, he felt that he could not quite wrap his head around what he was hearing.

"He once was. I pitied his lowly birth and gave him the status of a slave, but this boy did not know what was good for him and repaid my kindness with ingratitude. He destroyed my plans!" The killing intent in Su Xuan Yi's eyes became greater.

Yan Pei shuddered. When he looked at Su Xuan Yi, a strange emotion was hidden in his eyes, but at the same time, he released a sigh of relief in his heart, glad that the terrifying old monster had not come searching for him this time, but had instead come searching for Su Xuan Yi, who did not know how grossly he had overestimated himself.

'He's lowly? Uhh… If he's lowly, then I've never effing saw a noble person in my life. If HE'S lowly, then what am I? Who would dare say they have an even more noble status compared to him in all of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier?

'I would want to seek an audience with him, even if I am afraid that he would want to kill me. If I could obtain some guidance, I would definitely be able to gain a serendipity! Is this Su Xuan Yi mad or does he not know the truth? How dare he say that this terrifying senior is of lowly status? He even dared to say that he is a slave…'

The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei stood up without hesitation and quickly took a step to the side to be further away from Su Xuan Yi. He was afraid that Su Ming would misunderstand him due to his seat at the wedding…

Before he left, he did not forget to grab Elder Mo Sang, intending to take him as well. After all, he had promised Su Xuan Yi that he would personally kill this person. Despite what might happen, the principle he valued the most in his life due to his status as the Sovereign of Dawn was promises.

In truth, he pitied Su Xuan Yi greatly in his heart. He was sure that the man did not know how terrifying the old monster before them was. For a moment, Yan Pei wondered whether he should give him a warning, but if he did, he might risk offending Su Ming.

However, it would not be good for him to watch Su Xuan Yi sink into this mess, since he was the chess piece Yan Pei had chosen. The Sovereign of Dawn felt like he should do something due to moral obligations..

Chapter 1295: You Set Me Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the Sovereign of Dawn hesitated over what to do and his hand was about to touch Elder Mo Sang, Su Ming strolled over. A ripple of emotion appeared in his eyes, which had previously been as calm as water. That ripple instantly turned into a cold glare reminiscent of moonlight reflected off the surface of a lake when he cast a flat stare at the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei.

Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt. A gentle look appeared in his eyes when he directed his gaze at Mo Sang. He seemed to forget his status and his level of cultivation at that moment, and instead felt like he was a child in Dark Mountain, a boy who laughed happily beside his elder… Su Ming wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed deeply.

This bow was directed to his elder, to Dark Mountain, and how deeply Su Ming valued his relationships.

"I, Su Ming of Dark Mountain, greet my elder…"

The Sovereign of Dawn's hand came to an abrupt halt while he was in the middle of stretching it out. His expression immediately changed; he was completely stunned. Su Ming's bow and his words repeated in his mind nonstop, and he soon registered what was going on. An enraged, monstrous killing intent instantly arose in his heart, transforming into a roar that went straight into his head.

'Damn you, Su Xuan Yi… you set me up!'

During that moment, the Sovereign of Dawn no longer thought about principles, and he threw all his moral obligations to the back of his mind. He immediately began to hate Su Xuan Yi to the core. To him, regardless of whether Su Xuan Yi did this intentionally or not, it was the same as Su Xuan Yi setting him up. He had almost driven Yan Pei to his grave, setting him up against this old monster who he had been fleeing from with everything he had.

The Sovereign of Dawn did not believe that Su Xuan Yi did not truly know how terrifying Su Ming was. In fact, in Yan Pei's eyes, Su Xuan Yi definitely knew that Su Ming would come on this day, and he had dragged Yan Pei to his side and asked him to kill Su Ming's elder so that they would be bound together.

'Damn it… Damn it… Thank goodness I didn't kill him yet.'

The moment Yan Pei registered the situation, with his mighty power and the reaction he had as a Sovereign of Dawn, he was able to stop his hand from reaching Elder Mo Sang. Then, he did not hesitate to immediately touch the elder.

But he only placed his hand on the elder. He did not grab him, but instead supported him gently, and it even looked like he had a great amount of reverence for the elder. The threads of time binding Elder Mo Sang immediately shattered. When they disappeared without a single sound, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei helped the elder up with his right hand, and a gentle smile even appeared on his face. There was even a hint of respect in it.

"I admire heroes like you the most in my life, fellow Daoist. Even if you knew that your level of cultivation was lacking, you were willing to risk everything for your family members. People like that must be respected!

"This is a gift and a lesson for any family. I am like that too. I have the same personality as you do, and I cannot bear with you being captured, fellow Daoist, which is why I interfered with this matter. I will definitely not allow someone like you to die before me. I acted so that I could save you!

"My fellow Daoist, I wasn't clear with my words just now. In fact, I even joked with you just now, because I am a guest Su Xuan Yi had invited with all he had. I might not be familiar with this person, but he had invited me to this wedding after showing me great hospitality, so I had come here reluctantly, but I did not expect myself to meet someone like you here. This trip was worth it!

"That joke was to test whether you are truly a hero. Right now, I am certain of it. Fellow Daoist… I hope that you will not mind the words I said to you earlier. I hope that someone like you will accept a bow from me."

Yan Pei's expression was incredibly sincere, and his words sounded as if they were truly what he had in mind. As he spoke, he took a few steps back, wrapped his fist in his palm, and bowed deeply to Mo Sang.

Mo Sang was stunned. When a barely noticeable glint appeared in his eyes, the Sovereign of Dawn lifted his head and stared coldly at Su Xuan Yi, who was frowning and looked a little surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I did not expect that you were someone like this!"

"Sovereign of Dawn…"

Su Xuan Yi's pupils shrank. Yan Pei had changed sides so quickly that Su Xuan Yi's heart let out a thump. Before he could even finish speaking, his words were cut off by Yan Pei.

"You disappoint me too much. If your daughter does not want to marry someone else, then why must you place so many seals on her? Not only did you seal her thoughts, you even sealed her soul. How could you treat your own family like this? You are practically trying to curry my favor, but you disappointed me. I am ashamed to be associated with you!

"Treat my actions as me sticking my nose into someone else's business, but I have long since been unable to tolerate this. I have reached the end of my patience!"

As he spoke, the Sovereign of Dawn successfully stole Su Ming's limelight; he became the center of everyone's attention. Then, he lifted his right hand and pointed at Yu Xuan. The bells he had given Yu Xuan started shuddering on their own, and when they knocked against each other, they let out a string of clear ringing sounds.

Every single time the sound echoed in the air, a look of struggle would appear on Yu Xuan's face. Clouds seemed to cover her eyes, but they were swiftly swept away by the wind. Clarity slowly appeared in her gaze, and when the ringing of the bells ended, Yu Xuan shuddered. All the seals on her body disappeared without a trace, and she regained her mind.

When he saw this, Yan Pei released a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling fortunate that he had given her the bells as a gift earlier. By doing so, everything he did could be backed by evidence, and no one would be able to find any clear problems with his actions. He should not have offended that terrifying old monster too much.

As clarity appeared in Yu Xuan's eyes and her body shuddered slightly, she remembered many things. After all, Yan Pei was a Sovereign of Dawn. When he took action, he did not just wipe off the seals placed on Yu Xuan in the recent years. He had wiped off all the seals in her body, which had been placed on her since many years ago, causing Yu Xuan… to truly regain a clear mind for the first time after being lost for a long period of time!

She immediately looked at Su Ming, who was standing not too far away and watching everything with a ghost of a smile on his face. After the single glance, she could no longer look away. Tears filled her vision and made the world before blurry, but that one figure in the world remained clear. It belonged to a person who remained clear in her mind no matter how many cycles of rebirth he went through.

Her childhood memories rose in her head. The thin and frail teenager lying silently was her older brother. He was not her family, but he was someone who was closer to her than family. He grew up with her and accompanied her every day. He was her older brother who could not speak and open his eyes. He was the most important family to her.

She remembered that she stayed by his side and spoke to him about the blue sky, the darkness during night, her training, her grievances, her future…

She held his hand so that his cold hand could slowly gain bodily warmth. During that period of time, she was very happy. Training might have been difficult and she might have been bullied and mocked by others, but she had remained strong. She wanted to protect her older brother his whole life.

Yet one day, she was taken away. She still remembered that when she cast a final glance at him before she left, he was still lying there without moving. He could neither open his eyes nor his mouth. On that day… she cried.

The person who took her away told her that if she was obedient, he would wake up, so she chose to be obedient and leave. After that… it felt as if an eternity had gone by.

That period of time seemed to be too far away from her now, so far away that her memories about it had become unclear. In truth, they had become faded away not because of her will. Instead, due to an unknown reason, she had completely forgotten about her past.

She became a direct descendant of a family in the Emperor of Abyss' True World. She had a father, a mother, and other family members. She was very happy during that period of time as well, but every single time night fell and everything was quiet, she would have a feeling as if she had forgotten the most important person in her life.

But no matter what, she could not remember that person. The shadow of a person's back would often appear in her dreams, but it was muddled, and she could not see it clearly…

On the day her mother returned to earth, she wept while watching her mother gradually close her eyes. During that moment, on her deathbed, her mother stared at Yu Xuan with a look that spoke volumes. Her gaze was filled with compassion and a reluctance to part, and after appearing to ponder whether she wanted to speak, she said a few words,

"The meaning for Xuan is daylily. You are a daylily in the rain… I want you to forget sadness in your life and be happy forever…"

She had been ignorant of the meaning of that sentence in the past. Later on in the future, she always thought that she had understood what it meant, but only during that moment did she know the profound meaning behind those words…

Perhaps it was the figure in her dreams, or perhaps it was due to the emotions in her memories that could not be sealed no matter how strong the seal was, but before her wedding, she fled. While feeling lost and not knowing where to go… she had returned to True Morning Dao World by a stroke of chance.

She also remembered that when she fled and captured the Abyss Dragon, she seemed to have seen a figure, but when she turned her head back to look, she saw nothing. When she thought about it after all that time, she knew that the figure she had seen was that of her father's; he had been watching her in silence from not too far away. He watched her leave as if sending her off with a great reluctance to part.

During the days Su Xuan Yi was in isolation, Yu Xuan had went to True Morning Dao World to search for the feeling she could place her finger upon, and it had brought to the place in which she was born—Yin Death Vortex!

It was not her personality that caused her to immediately stick close to Su Ming when she saw him while not feeling a single hint of unfamiliarity towards him. It was because the aura of her life had affected her sealed memories.

She did not know that once she appeared before Su Ming, the voice calling out to him as its older brother which he only heard in his dreams gradually disappeared.

Yu Xuan remembered everything from her birth to the present. All her memories appeared in her head at that instant. Once the seals vanished, she stared at Su Ming with a dazed look, and tears that seemed to have come from thousands of years ago fell from the corners of her eyes.

"I am Yu Xuan. I am a daylily in the rain. My father is the second God of Berserkers. My home is in the land of Berserkers…" Yu Xuan mumbled. She lifted her head, and when she looked at Su Ming again, she bit her bottom lip and whispered two words that once echoed in Su Ming's dreams for many years.

"Big brother…"

Su Ming approached her. There were few forces of power who could stop him now in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. When Yu Xuan raised her head, Su Ming had already arrived before her. He gently embraced her crying form.

"I promised you that I would one day come and find you. Today is that day."

Su Ming caressed Yu Xuan's long hair. When he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the silent third prince standing beside them. The two of them met each other's gazes, and Su Ming saw the complicated look in the third prince's eyes, while Lei Chen saw the sentimentality in Su Ming's eyes.

Chapter 1296: You Should Not Have!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Su Ming flipped his palm, he could cause clouds to surge, and when he flipped it again, he could cause rain to fall. His arrival had changed the unseen laws in the place without a sound.

The hearts of the one million cultivators had trembled, and then, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's actions had become strange. When Su Ming looked at the third prince and their gazes met, it was as if a sleeping volcano… had started showing signs of an eruption.

"Sir, how dare you act so arrogantly when you have intruded on this capital of ours? I would like to see what sort of divine abilities you have."

At that moment, a freezing glare shone in the Sublime Paragon while he forced down the nervousness in his heart. With his level of cultivation and his intelligence, there was no way he would not see how terrifying Su Ming was, but he had no choice at that moment. As the Sublime Paragon of this True World and with Su Xuan Yi behind him, he could only put up a bold front and say such words. Su Xuan Yi's strength was unfathomable in his heart, and compared to the person before his eyes, he would rather believe that Su Xuan Yi held the upper hand.

In fact, he had other thoughts in his mind as well. Since Su Ming had come in such a shocking manner, it was going to be difficult to avoid a fight. If Su Xuan Yi was powerful enough to win, then everything would be alright, but if Su Xuan Yi lost… then perhaps this would be a chance for him.

At the instant this thought appeared in his head, the Sublime Paragon charged at Su Ming. He lifted his right hand and swung his arm, and a vast amount of power surged out with a bang. It turned into a huge Abyss Statue in front of him that rushed forward to suppress Su Ming, but it did not harbor much killing intent, appearing to only wish to force Su Ming back.

Howling sounds echoed in the air. A loud bang shot up, deafening everyone. The Abyss Statue instantly closed in on Su Ming. Without even sparing a glance for the Sublime Paragon, he lifted his right hand and pointed casually at the statue.

With it, the weather changed. Wind stirred and clouds surged. It looked like the will of heaven had descended on the sky of the entire cultivation planet. It turned into a huge vortex that rotated with loud rumbles. An astonishing will descended on the Sublime Paragon with a gentleness when Su Ming pointed at him.

With it, a loud bang shot up. The Abyss Statue the Sublime Paragon had formed shattered to pieces. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and he seemed to have been stunned by the sight of the will of heaven descending from the sky. He could not dodge, and it crashed into him.

He shuddered and coughed up eight mouthfuls of blood in succession. His body was like a kite with a snapped string, and he was thrown into the distance. While he was flying, blood gushed out of him rapidly. His body fell from the ancient tree, and he plunged into the sea and disappeared.

'He's a cunning one, alright. He attacked me with a divine ability that didn't contain much killing intent. He was rather certain that I would not kill him, and so he took the gamble. He did not even dodge and went to take the hit. By doing so, he was injured badly, and he could avoid having to fight any longer, causing Su Xuan Yi to be unable to say anything against him even if he wins, and if I win, I won't cause trouble to him either.'

With a single glance, Su Ming was able to tell what the Sublime Paragon thought of, but he did not expose him. Every person had a chance to make a choice before danger, and it was correct of the Sublime Paragon to make such a decision.

When Su Ming's will descended and the Sublime Paragon coughed up blood before plunging into the sea, the expression of the one million cultivators who had been stunned earlier changed drastically, and shock appeared on their faces.

They did not know Su Ming, but at that moment, his figure turned into a nightmare. His image was forcefully branded into their minds, and he became an eternal existence in their heads.

The third prince was silent, as if he was not surprised by all of this. The Sovereign of Dawn also seemed to have been expecting this. He knew just how terrifying Su Ming was, and he had grown to admire this Sublime Paragon whom he had not paid too much attention to previously, thinking to himself that this person was highly aware of his surroundings and that he could perhaps guide him in the future.

Su Xuan Yi's pupils shrank at that moment. A freezing glare as cold as ice and as sharp as needles appeared in his eyes when he looked at Su Ming.

"I only came here for three things."

Su Ming shifted his gaze away from the third prince and looked at the sullen Su Xuan Yi. This person, once an unfathomably powerful warrior in Su Ming's eyes, was now just a joke to him.

The appearance of Arid Triad's gap, hiding in Morning Dao Sect, his plans and aims towards True Morning Dao World's will, his prevention of Dark Dawn's camp in Divine Essence Star Ocean, and everything else were due to Su Xuan Yi.

He had used Su Ming. Everything that he did to him in the past rose in Su Ming's head, including using him to nourish the Seed of Life Extermination, before all the memories returned to the back of his mind in the form of dust.

"The first matter would be taking Yu Xuan away with me. You've taken care of her for many years, so I should notify you about this." Su Ming caressed Yu Xuan's hair. When he spoke, his eyes were calm.

"The second thing would be returning you an item that you have left in my care for a long time."

While saying that, Su Ming lifted his left hand and seized the air. The fifth kiln swiftly appeared with a loud bang. Fire surrounded the fifth kiln before it shrank exponentially. It floated above Su Ming's palm, but he simply allowed the flames to surround his left hand. His expression remained as indifferent as ever while he pushed the fifth kiln forward.

"A clone of yours is in there, along with your wife, who is waiting to be resurrected. Why would you leave something so important in my hands? You did not even mention wanting it back. Could it be… that you don't want it?"

Su Ming smiled faintly. He could already see through the complicated emotions Su Xuan Yi had towards the fifth kiln. He could tell that Su Xuan Yi did not want to face the fifth kiln, which was why… he decided to not ignore it.

While he watched the fifth kiln drift towards him, Su Xuan Yi's expression turned darker, but only he knew about the anguish and the complicated emotions he had under the sullen facade he put on.

At the instant the third prince saw the fifth kiln and heard Su Ming's words, he jolted. He looked over swiftly, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face.

"I've now finished with those two things. Right now, I only have the third matter remaining… I will end this enmity between us."

Su Ming looked at Su Xuan Yi. At the moment he finished speaking, Su Xuan Yi suddenly threw his head back and laughed.

There was a sense of freedom and wildness to his laughter. It sounded like he looked down upon the entire world, like he was certain that all manner of lives were in his hands and that he could manipulate them at will.

"You unfilial son, you…"

"Things have already progressed to this point, so is there even meaning to you saying any of this?"

Su Ming's expression remained calm, but a chilling tone had entered his words. It made Su Xuan Yi instinctively stop speaking. He stared at Su Ming, and after a moment, he started laughing coldly.

"As expected of the son between Su Zhan and the Sacred Lady of the Spiritlings from Dark Dawn. You have the inborn divine abilities of the Abyss Builders and the Spiritlings' powerful might, which makes their souls imperishable.

"Growing up among the Berserkers has also allowed you to possess the power of the Berserkers. Divine Essence Star Ocean has taught you how to be sly. Not bad, you are not at all weaker than my real son in this regard.

"Then, I would really like to know how you will end this enmity between us."

As Su Xuan Yi smiled coldly, he stood up, looking like a towering mountain. Even if Su Ming had arrived and he had personally seen just how powerful he was, Su Xuan Yi's pride did not allow him to show any weakness. He was still as aggressive as ever.

Su Ming was silent. He lowered his head and looked at Yu Xuan. A gentle look appeared in his eyes.

"You could have manipulated me and used me to nourish that Seed of Life Extermination of yours. You could have made me do everything that you wished, but you should not have… told me that you were my father."

When Su Ming lifted his head, a chilling glare appeared in his eyes. The moment he said those words, Su Ming took a step forward, and he was so fast that he instantly appeared right in front of Su Xuan Yi. He lifted his right hand and pressed it against Su Xuan Yi's chest.

When his palm almost touched his chest, Su Xuan Yi threw his head back and roared. He had been prepared for this since much earlier, so the moment Su Ming closed in on him, he immediately crushed the ancient jade that had appeared in his hand at some unknown point of time.

A crack appeared on the ancient jade, but it did not completely shatter. A huge eight-headed figure manifested behind him, and an astonishing mighty pressure and presence immediately erupted from him. That presence was so strong that it went straight to Avanicaya Realm, causing the Sovereign of Dawn's eyes to sparkle, and the pressure on the one million cultivators in the area increased again.

It caused the world to tremble and the weather to change, and it also caused the laws in the area to instantly become disorderly. This was one of Su Xuan Yi's killing moves. As an outstanding figure in this True World, he dared to scheme against True Morning Dao World and blast a hole in Arid Triad, so there was no way that he would not have any powerful backup plans.

At that moment, Su Xuan Yi no longer held back. Once the eight-headed figure appeared, it fused into Su Xuan Yi's body before it appeared between the two men to collide against Su Ming's palm.

Bang!

A loud bang reverberated through the air. The eight-headed figure instantly crumbled. Su Ming's palm seemed to be able to tear through everything. Once the eight-headed figure that exuded the powerful presence crumbled to pieces, Su Ming's hand pressed against Su Xuan Yi's chest.

Booming sounds echoed in the air, lingering there. Su Xuan Yi coughed up blood and staggered backwards. His expression changed. His pupils shrank, and for the first time ever, shock appeared on his face.

"What level of cultivation do you have?!"

It was impossible for him to not be shocked. The eight-headed figure came from the ancient jade, and it was not something of this aeon. It was a remnant of the previous aeon and possessed the power of those in Avacaniya Realm. It might only appear for a short time, but it could allow Su Xuan Yi to step into Avanicaya Realm and fight against the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei.

And since the item was from the previous aeon, the laws governing it were different. It also meant that it could weaken the will of their aeon. In Su Xuan Yi's mind, it should have been perfect to go against Su Ming, who had Possessed True Morning Dao World.

But… he had not expected that the eight-headed figure in Avacaniya Realm would shatter before Su Ming at the first touch!

The Sovereign of Dawn had seen it, and it made him instinctively take a few steps back. He had once again witnessed how terrifying Su Ming was, which made sure that what his clone had seen was not a misconception. This man was definitely the strongest person in their aeon!

By his side, Elder Mo Sang stared at Su Ming dumbly before pride appeared on his face. An ancient air that was far older than his actual age appeared about him…

The Sublime Paragon had just come up to the surface of the sea under the ancient tree at that moment and had spread his divine sense outwards to observe what was happening. Once he saw the fight, his heart shuddered violently, and without any hesitation, he lifted his right hand and fiercely struck his chest. He coughed up more blood and sank to the bottom of the sea again.

Chapter 1297: I Am Here!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"With my strike, I severed your ties with the years of your life, and I injured your soul. You are now like a rootless tree. You no longer have karma affecting you, and you have also lost your right to be reincarnated. This is your punishment for calling yourself my father."

When Su Ming declared this in a flat tone, Su Xuan Yi's expression changed drastically. Only at that moment did he realize the indescribable pain coming from his body.

It felt like there was a plant growing in his body. In shock, he directed his attention at the internal structure of his body, and he immediately noticed that his soul had become semi-transparent and much weaker. His Qi and blood were scattered and in a mess, as if they were being devoured by some unseen force. It left them increasingly weaker.

"You could have used me. Even if you gathered my soul together for your use to accompany your son so that he would grow and even if you left the mark of a slave on me so that I would continue being your slave, it would have been fine.

"But you should not have… spread your hands outwards and used the people around me. You should not have used Yu Xuan…"

Killing intent shone in Su Ming's eyes. Once he finished speaking, he took a swift step forward once more.

Su Xuan Yi's pupils shrank swiftly, and he immediately began withdrawing. A ferocious and crazed look appeared on his face. He squeezed the ancient jade in his right hand again, and as cracking sounds shot into the air, it split into two. An astonishing will immediately erupted from within and surrounded Su Xuan Yi.

There was a primitive air to that will, along with an ancient feeling that made it seem as if it had existed for an endless amount of time. This will was not part of the present aeon. The ancient feeling about it was possessed only by those in the previous aeon, and it was so strong that it instantly gave off a presence equivalent to Su Ming once he Possessed True Morning Dao World!

It was a will which belonged to one of the strongest warriors of the previous aeon, who was an old monster who had surpassed Avacaniya Realm. He was probably still alive, which would explain his will being so great. It was filled with indestructible life force, but similarly, there was a thick aura of death contained within it.

The appearance of the will immediately caused the air around Su Xuan Yi to distort and form into an ancient face. Marks of time were contained within it, but the face itself was incredibly hideous. The man's eyes were bloodshot, and when he appeared, he let out a crazed howl that shook the sky and earth.

It was the first time that will had appeared in the present aeon. At the moment it did, it caused the rapidly fading will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World to shudder and Arid Triad to focus his gaze on the area.

This was the first time… the sleeping old monsters who had fused with their other selves showed their presence before the people! This was not a clone like the ones belonging to Di Tian and the others. After all, they were just clones. The one that appeared at that moment was the person's will in its truest sense. This was his complete will!

For the first time, a different expression appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Even he had not expected that Su Xuan Yi would have this sort of ancient jade with him… but even if the will was as powerful as a True World, to Su Ming… it was still too fragile and would not be able to withstand even a single hit of his.

At the moment his right hand touched the face formed by the will, the face's roars came to an abrupt halt. Disbelief and madness appeared on the face, and it swiftly charged at Su Ming with a howl to suppress him.

Su Ming let out a cold harrumph. Morning Dao's will, Immortal Sect's will, Sky Hill's will, and part of the will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World instantly gathered on him to suppress the rampant will, who had grossly overestimated itself.

This was a clash between wills, and an unbalanced battle that was similar to a toddler challenging an adult for a fight.

Booming sounds instantly filled the cultivation planet before they spread into the galaxy. When they echoed in all directions, the face formed by the will around Su Xuan Yi shattered to pieces, and as if a huge gust of wind had blown against it, it disappeared without a trace.

Su Ming's right hand pushed down on Su Xuan Yi's chest again. With it, Su Xuan Yi coughed up a dozen mouthfuls of blood. When he moved back, he was stark pale, amd for the first time ever, fear appeared on his face.

"With this strike, I made your cultivation base fade, I destroyed your Qi, and I crushed your divine sensem," Su Ming said while looking at the pale Su Xuan Yi.

"You could use me to nourish the Seed of Life Extermination, but you should not… have made Yu Xuan continue my path and forced her to give up on everything for the Seed of Life Extermination. And then, since you were worried that she would resist and struggle against you, you sealed her thoughts, soul, and her memories so that she could make the Seed of Life Extermination complete once she became one with your son.

"You should not have done this. If dragons have taboos, then so do people. You have done things that are taboo to me several times. How… do you think I will end this grudge between us?"

Killing intent appeared in Su Ming's eyes. The next moment, he took another step forward and charged at Su Xuan Yi.

The killing intent had been buried in Su Ming's heart for a long, long time. From the moment he had learned that everything was fake and he thought that he was an incredibly ludicrous existence, he harbored great murderous intent towards Su Xuan Yi.

Right then, that killing intent finally erupted from within him after accumulating for a long period of time. Murderous intent appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he closed in on Su Xuan Yi like a blade wanting to take his life.

Su Xuan Yi laughed brokenly. When he saw Su Ming move towards him, ferociousness and desperation suddenly appeared in his smile. The two halves of the ancient jade in his hand were swiftly crushed to pieces.

At the moment the ancient jade was crushed, Su Xuan Yi's hoarse voice traveled swiftly into the air with a shrill tone.

"Yr Morkh!"

The two words sounded like an incantation, but it was even more… like a name. It was a name that was completely different from the people of his aeon used and was also had a different pronunciation. In other words, it was the name of a powerful warrior of the previous aeon.

The moment Su Xuan Yi called out that name, the world roared. The Emperor of Abyss' True World trembled violently, and all of Arid Triad seemed to have become different. Immediately after, the land and mountains in the capital planet shattered and crumbled. Huge cracks that went through the entire planet spread rapidly, and they stretched to the sea, which began to roar. A low growl shot out from the cracks in the underground.

A huge hand made of blood fog shot into the air and seized Su Xuan Yi before it turned around so that the palm was facing outwards. Then, with the force of the back of the hand, it fought back against Su Ming's incoming palm strike.

Booming sounds surged into the heavens. The blood fog swiftly dissipated, but it managed to resist Su Ming's palm strike.

Once Su Xuan Yi was saved, the growl from the crack underground became several times stronger. It echoed in the air, and when the sky turned red, it caused the entire cultivation planet to instantly turn crimson, making it seem as if the planet had turned into a red sun, and its red hue even spread out into the galaxy.

A crimson figure rushed out from the crack at the bottom of the sea. The moment it showed up, the sea tumbled. Loud rumbles surged into the sky. The figure traveled at an astonishing pace and instantly appeared besides Su Xuan Yi to catch him.

The unknown person was a middle-aged man who exuded great bloodthirst and had bloodshot eyes that shone with madness. He was half-naked, which revealed countless scars on his body. They gave him a furious and murderous aura that filled the world.

"Who made me wake up beforehand?! Who interrupted my great plan for invincibility?! Who dared provoke my disciple?! Damn it! All of you deserve death! All of you must die! Die! Die! DIE!!"

The man seemed to be off in the head. When he roared, he lowered his head swiftly, and his gaze swept past all the people on the ancient tree. All those who met his gaze immediately felt their blood flow in reverse. Their eyes instantly filled with blood capillaries, as if their bodies were about to explode.

All of them were affected, except Su Ming and Yu Xuan, who was under his protection, his elder, and the third prince!

Only the four of them were unaffected. Even the Sovereign of Dawn of Yan Pei felt his heart tremble at that moment. In his mind, he immediately started cursing the other two Sovereigns of Dawn and the three powerful warriors in Avacaniya Realm from Saint Defier.

He had thought that he had managed to seize an opportunity by being able to step into Arid Triad, but he had first run into the terrifying Su Ming, and right then, he met this old monster shining with a red glow. Both of them had the ability to kill him, so entering Arid Triad had been opportunity. It was clearly a dangerous place that could bring about his death if he made the slightest mistake!

"I didn't expect to see two complete fellow Daoists in this place, as well as one… who achieved the same results, even though the method he used is wrong… but this does not mean you have the right to interfere with my plan and wake me up ahead of schedule!" the blood-red figure roared madly.

The world howled, and rain began to pour down from the sky. The droplets were red, and even the sea beneath them instantly turned into a sea of blood during that instant.

Su Ming frowned and snorted coldly. The sound traveled through the air, and it immediately made the blood-red figure in the sky freeze. The middle-aged looked at Su Ming, and his body instantly vanished.

The moment he disappeared, Su Ming blended into the air as well. Booming sounds shot out rapidly into midair, and each one was deafening to the ears, causing the sky to look as if it was about to crumble and the world to look as if it was about to collapse. The middle-aged man appeared then and fell backwards. On his face was a graveness, great fighting intent, and an even greater wave of madness.

Blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth. His chest had already collapsed, but his fighting spirit and madness became even wilder.

"You should be the strongest person in this aeon. I can sense that accursed True World's will on you!"

When the blood-red figure began to rar, Su Ming walked out of the air. His expression was one of indifference. His white robe and long hair were spotless, but there was a cold and biting chill in his eyes.

When Su Ming and the blood-red figure attacked each other, a young man dressed in a long robe walked over the surface of the sea with a calm expression on his face. He was beneath the ancient tree and above the red sea of blood. Wherever he went, no one noticed him. It was as if… he was one with the universe.

He did not lift his head to look at the sky, but instead moved to stand under the ancient tree. As he stood on the surface of the sea, he sighed softly.

"I'm here."

Chapter 1298: Five-Faced Beast Deity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Go back to the place you sleep. It is not time for you to wake up just yet," the white-robed, long-haired Su Ming said flatly while standing in the air.

The presence of the strongest person of the current aeon radiated from Su Ming's body and swept through the land. When he spoke, a voice that made the entire True World tremble came from his mouth.

As the air around him distorted, it turned into a huge hand that went forth to grab the blood-red figure.

Madness appeared in the blood-red figure's eyes. He formed a seal with his hands and pointed forward. Immediately, the space where he stood distorted, and the blood fog tumbled about, letting out a roar like a malicious spirit. The blood fog immediately turned into a ferocious face of a ghost. It charged at the hand, and they instantly crashed into each other with a loud bang that shook the sky and earth.

Amid the noise, the hand shattered. The face of the ghost let out a shrill scream of pain and crumbled as well. Su Ming swung his arm, and when a freezing glare appeared in his eyes, the blood-red figure took a few steps back again. When he raised his head, he fixed his stare on Su Ming. A crazed, ferocious smile appeared at the corners of his lips, as if he was completely unbothered even if he was at a disadvantage.

"As expected of the strongest person in this aeon, but aren't you a little too conceited? You still don't have the right to make me go back to sleep. You can't kill me, for not even Arid Triad's disaster can destroy me. All the people who have reached our status are already indestructible!"

As the blood-red figure laughed madly, he lifted his right hand and seized the air in the direction of the sky.

"Five-Faced Beast Deity, descend in this aeon!"

The world immediately roared. With loud booms, the air was torn, and a huge crack appeared out of nowhere. A boundless, malicious presence surged out from within it. Five waves of mighty pressure intersecting with each other could be detected clearly in that presence, and it was incredibly astonishing.

It was the famous Five-Faced Beast Deity from the previous aeon. This beast was not created by cultivators, but was born from the Essence of the universe. When it appeared, it was already in Avacaniya Realm. It devoured countless cultivators and stirred up a disaster in the previous aeon in which countless lives had died.

Even if they gathered together the might of all the powerhouses from all True Worlds at that time, they were still defeated by the beast, and the more it ate, the stronger it became. In the end, it gained sentience, and its level of cultivation reached its peak. For a period of time, it could be said to have been unbeatable.

When the beast roared at the skies, it sensed the existence of Arid Triad's will… and it went to challenge him.

It was completely defeated in that battle. Its body was crushed and its soul disintegrated. It perished under Arid Triad's will, but while its real body died, thousands of years after the aeon in which it was born, gradually, cultivators who could vaguely sense its fragmented soul appeared.

When more cultivators like that were born, the religion of the Five-Faced Beast Deity came into being. Each convert to this religion was someone who killed to a monstrous degree. They were all cruel and merciless and worshiped the Five-Faced Beast Deity.

They built statues and worshiped them every day. As time passed, the leaders of the religion grew to be able to gradually summon the shadow of the Five-Faced Beast Deity, but most of them could only summon three of its heads.

But even if the shadow only had three heads, it was enough for them to obtain the great power equivalent to those in Avacaniya Realm.

That had lasted until the final days of the aeon when a peerless genius had appeared in the religion of the Five-Faced Beast Deity. That person's potential was so great that it could be said that he was matchless, and he seemed to be born suitable to fuse with the Five-Faced Beast Deity.

His rise to power was so quick that in a short ten thousand years, he managed to form three heads of the Five-Faced Beast Deity. From then on, he searched through the entire Expanse Cosmos and gathered nearly eight-tenths of the Five-Faced Beast Deity's soul, causing the shadow that he formed to show five heads, which was the first since the Five-Faced Beast Deity had died!

That prodigy was the blood-red figure before Su Ming. The genius of the religion of the Five-Faced Beast Deity had fused with his other self and become the imperishable and indestructible Yr Morkh.

He killed so many people that he gained immense popularity in the previous aeon. He was one of the two strongest people during that aeon, and he managed to survive through Arid Triad's disaster, but he had to fall into deep sleep in one hundred years. During the first one hundred years of the new aeon, he used all his time to form the religion of the Five-Faced Beast Deity and to pass down its legacy. Hence, most of those who were born later did not know of his existence.

At that moment, the crack that appeared in the world was the sign that the Five-Faced Beast Deity was about to appear. As its malicious presence spread out, a loud roar came from the crack. Immediately after, a huge head of a fierce creature manifested.

The head resembled a snake. It had a forked red tongue that came out of its mouth when a piercing hiss traveled rang the air. The next moment, the huge head charged out like a bolt of thunder from the crack.

The snake head was the first head of the Five-Faced Beast Deity!

When it charged out, it instantly closed in on the white-robed Su Ming. It was large enough to cover the sky and earth, and a foul stench of rotting things came from its breath. It caused a large part of the world around Su Ming to immediately start showing signs of rotting.

Su Ming's face was calm. It might have been the first time that he ran into a powerful warrior from the previous aeon, but Su Ming was not at all wary. As the strongest person in his aeon, he wanted to see just… who was the stronger between him and a powerful warrior of the previous aeon!

The moment the huge snake head closed in on him and the foul stench came crashing into his face, Su Ming let out a cold harrumph, and he lifted his right hand to swing his arm forward. With it, the world immediately roared. A huge hand swiftly manifested in front of him to seize the snake head and lift it upwards.

At that moment, another roar came from the crack, and a huge wolf head rushed out. With a presence that made it seem that it wanted to devour the sky and earth, it opened its mouth and charged at Su Ming.

Immediately after, the third roar shot out of the crack in the sky and reverberated through the air. A huge head of a tiger with an incredibly distinct mark of the tiger at the center of its brow appeared. It exuded a supreme and domineering air. When it roared, a powerful wave of sound surged into the sky and made the entire planet shudder.

And this was just the third head. At the moment the tiger's roars traveled through the planet, the fourth head appeared. It belonged to a huge dragon that was entirely black.

Right when the fourth head came out, the fifth manifested as well. It was the head of a child with a contorted face. At the moment it appeared, it let out a piercing howl at Su Ming!

A great, mighty pressure spread from the five heads, and like a Rune, it charged to Su Ming from five different directions.

At the same time, the body of the Five-Faced Beast Deity was revealed from the crack in the sky. It looked… like a human which was incredibly huge, standing nearly one hundred thousand feet tall. Right then, only a small part of it was revealed, but it was still enough to shock everyone.

"Five-Faced Beast Deity, five heads… But I don't understand… How could something like you be worthy of being called a deity?"

Su Ming watched the five heads charging at him with ferociousness. Each head gave Su Ming the feeling that they possessed the power equivalent to those in Avacaniya Realm, but once they were connected, a power similar to the one Su Ming sensed from the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe erupted from them.

That was a powerful presence equivalent to someone who had had their spirit ascend eight times… but to Su Ming, this sort of presence was still not enough!

After all, while they were both the strongest in their respective aeons, there was still a difference in strength between them. This was something that would definitely not be the same!

At the moment Su Ming spoke and the five heads closed in on him, he seized the air with his right hand. A purple sword immediately appeared in his grip. It let out an indescribably fierce presence, for it was… the End of Wills Sword!

The sword's level once surpassed Su Ming's, and the sword had been in control of his actions instead of him being control of the sword, but right then… the sword in Su Ming's hand was merely his weapon. The sword could not behead the Five-Faced Beast Deity by itself, but when it was in Su Ming's hands, it could!

Su Ming's eyes shone with a freezing glare. With the sword in his right hand, he moved forward instead of retreating. At the instant the snake head came to devour him, the sword shone with a monstrous purple light.

It blinded all the cultivators who had been paying attention to the fight. At the moment the purple light pierced the people's eyes and their field of vision turned black, a shrill scream of pain tumbled out from the snake head's mouth.

Loud booms filled the area. At the same time, another incredibly shrill roar that sounded like it came from someone who was struggling at death's door rang out. The booming sounds became even louder, but nothing had ended just yet.

When the third pained scream let out through great struggle was heard and the darkness before the people's eyes disappeared so they could see normally once more, they saw that the snake head had been cut off from the huge five-headed ferocious beast. The wolf head plunged to the ground as well, and a large amount of red light gushed out at the center of the tiger head's brow, as if it had been pierced by a sword.

During that instant, shock appeared on the remaining dragon head and the boy's head, but before they could retreat, Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He brought his right hand up and pointed into the distance before he flung his arm. The tiger head instantly screamed in pain. Its head shattered to pieces, and purple light shot out from it. It sparkled above the dragon head and the boy's head before it disappeared.

In an instant, purple light shone in front of Su Ming when the End of Wills Sword manifested. A drop of black blood fell from the tip of the sword, and the dragon head jolted; it had been cut off.

The boy's head let out a roar filled with the unwillingness to admit defeat, but a gash appeared between his eyebrows, and with a bang, he was cut into two.

The End of Wills Sword trembled because of excitement. After it had been crafted, Su Ming was the strongest master it had ever followed, and because of it, it had beheaded the strongest enemy in its life. Once it absorbed the blood of a powerful being of this calibre, it became excited and exhilarated. In fact, it could sense that before long… its power would increase!

"The Five-Faced Beast Deity is only this much."

When Su Ming spoke, he lifted his right hand and pushed in the direction of the giant who had lost all five of its heads.

"Go back from where you came. Seal."

Those words were spoken flatly, and there were only a total of seven of them, but the crack in the sky immediately turned into a vortex. When it rotated with loud rumbles, a huge suction force came from within it, and no matter how the giant struggled, it couldn't change its fate of being sucked into the vortex. Once it lost the fight, the vortex vanished… and the sky returned to normal!

Chapter 1299: Changing the Ruler of the Emperor of Abyss!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The area instantly fell into dead silence…

Nearly one million cultivators looked at Su Ming. Shock appeared on their faces, and their minds went blank. The sight of Su Ming sealing the giant became a memory they would never forget.

Su Ming's elder watched him, and a smile showed up on his face. He saw Su Ming's growth and knew that the young La Su had grown up into a person he could have never imagined.

Yu Xuan looked at Su Ming with a gaze as soothing as water. It felt like she could watch him her entire life, and she wished to do it as well…

Su Xuan Yi's face was pale when he looked at Su Ming. His mind trembled. Su Ming's strength had surpassed his expectations repeatedly, and right then, the power he showed had reached a degree where it cast him in disbelief and made his skin crawl.

There was also the Sovereign of Dawn, Yan Pei. At that moment, while remaining cautious, he had started cursing the other existences who shared the same status as him in Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. He regretted his choice to be the first to descend into Arid Triad…

Only the third prince, or rather, Lei Chen watched everything silently. His expression remained complicated, but he did not open his mouth to say a single word.

"What other methods do you have? If you don't bring them out now, you will no longer have the chance."

Su Ming looked at the blood-red figure in the distance. When he said those words, a low growl came from the mouth of the blood-red figure.

"Damn it, I forgot about this. I overlooked the fact that you are a life in this aeon!"

Once the blood-red figure said that, a thought formed in Su Ming's mind. At the same time, the blood-red figure lifted his hands, formed a seal, and flung his arms outwards.

"Blood, Malice, Fiend!"

A low and almost bizarre voice came from the blood-red figure's mouth. The blood fog around him tumbled swiftly, and when it spread outwards, it formed a huge blood-red vortex. A monstrous evil air spread out from it. There was also a powerful, murderous air rising swiftly from inside.

"First style, Activation of the Blood World!" the blood-red figure roared.

He flung his arms outwards, and a red ripple immediately spread out from him. It was a divine ability that belonged solely to him. It was a famous Art in the previous aeon, and with it, he had been invincible in his time.

There were four styles to his Art. Right then, he had cast the first style, and a red ripple spread through the entire planet in the blink of an eye. The planet jolted, and when Su Ming looked over, his world turned blood red.

All people turned into blood-red figures as if they had entered a blood-red hell. A thick stench of blood and a murderous aura so thick it struck fear in hearts made it feel as if a True World had been formed, and the man was using its power to suppress Su Ming.

"This Art is rather interesting."

Su Ming looked around himself. While speaking, he lifted his right hand and pointed at the sky. His great will instantly descended, and he drew a circle with his right hand. His will immediately started rotating in an unseen manner. Once it turned into a huge circle, a cold sneer appeared on Su Ming's lips.

"Su's disaster," he declared flatly. He was imitating Arid Triad Disaster and using his own name to name his disaster!

When he spoke, a red bolt of lightning flew out from the circle. It charged to the area above the blood-red world. When the world roared, the second and third disasters—Five Colors and Six Wills—appeared.

The blood-red world shook and crumbled to pieces. The blood-red figure coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the crimson light around him became dimmer. When he fell back, he formed seals with his hands and pointed forward. He then let out a shrill roar.

"Second style, Reincarnation in the Blood Ocean!"

The moment he spoke that sentence, booming sounds surged up, and the crumbling blood-red world shattered completely. It turned into a huge vortex that started rotating with loud rumbles. The vortex was red, and an invisible connection seemed to have formed between it and the blood-red figure. It seemed like the man was about to be reincarnated in a blood ocean.

The blood ocean charged at Su Ming while tumbling about. In an instant, it surrounded him and rotated.

Su Ming was swiftly submerged, and the blood-red figure laughed ferociously, but not even a moment later, that laughter froze. A loud bang shot out of the blood ocean. The fourth as well as the fifth disasters belonging to Su Ming had collapsed Reincarnation in the Blood Ocean.

"Damn it… Damn it! Third style, Eternal Existence. Eighteen Blood Kings of Hell born during my aeon… appear!"

The blood-red figure's voice was hoarse and shrill. At the moment he finished speaking, eighteen statues appeared from the shattered Reincarnation in the Blood Ocean.

The eighteen statues were entirely crimson, but their expressions and appearances were all different. The moment they appeared, they came to life as if the stone encasing them had melted. They turned into eighteen figures that charged towards Su Ming.

"Sixth disaster."

When Su Ming spoke coolly, countless bolts of lightning immediately struck out from around him. In the blink of an eye, they crashed into the eighteen figures. Booming sounds rang out in all directions, and the blood-red figure threw his head back and roared.

"Fourth style, Blood God's Head!"

Not a single ray of blood-red light remained around the blood-red figure at that moment. His body was revealed, and he showed up to be a young man with a sickly pale face dressed in a red robe. He had long red hair, and in his eyes was madness as well as killing intent.

All the blood-red light, the blood ocean from the shattered vortex, and the eighteen statues who had tumbled backwards when they crashed against Su Ming's sixth disaster fused together at that moment. As the blood ocean rotated, it suddenly stood up vertically and turned into a huge head!

Three of the statues turned into the left eye, and another three into the right eye. Three of them became its nose, another three became its mouth, six became its ears, and the Reincarnation in the Blood Ocean turned into its skull. The membrane of the blood-red World turned into the head's skin to form… the head of the Blood God filled with monstrous evil air!

Almost the moment the head of the Blood God appeared, Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, but he did not give time for the head to act. For the first time ever, he felt threatened by the powerful warrior from the previous aeon. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and brought his right hand up.

Thirty million Great Berserker souls gathered together to form a powerful right hand, and this was followed by thirty million Great Berserker souls gathering on his left hand, and then his body. At the moment he took a step forward, Su Ming's… God of Berserkers Transformation was complete!

Su Ming's power increased exponentially at that time. His body grew much larger, and when his foot landed, he appeared right in front of the head of the Blood God. Then, he brought up his right hand without the slightest bit of hesitation and threw a punch.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In just a few short breaths, Su Ming threw thousands of punches in succession. Punch after punch, without stop. Each punch contained Su Ming's will and his power. This was what Su Ming had decided upon—shatter his opponent's killing move in the shortest amount of time possible.

In just a few breaths, an astonishing bang shot out, and the huge blood-red head shattered into pieces. Su Ming moved, and like an afterimage that was hard to see with the naked eye, he charged at the young man with the sickly pale face who no longer had blood red light about him.

The moment the head of the Blood God shattered, the young man coughed up a huge mouthful of blood. He staggered a few steps backwards. When he lifted his head, Su Ming's punch had already arrived at the center of his brow.

"You can't kill me!" As the young man roared madly, he lifted his hands and struck the spot between his eyebrows.

"A Blood Offering to the World!"

When he said those words, the expressions of the one million cultivators from the Emperor of Abyss' True World watching from below changed drastically. Their blood flowed in reverse, and in that instant, three hundred thousand cultivators exploded with loud bangs. Blood gushed out from their bodies and charged up to the young man.

Killing intent shone in Su Ming's eyes. His punch landed at the center of the young man's brow, and with a loud bang, the young man's body was thrown off. Blood gushed out of him, but his body did not break down. Instead, while laughing ferociously, he shouted, "You can't kill me!"

With a bang, the seven hundred thousand cultivators on the ground broke down and exploded. With their deaths as the price, a large amount of blood gathered together to charge towards the young man in the sky. It instantly fused with him, causing blood-red light to appear around him again. Even his sickly pale face recovered quite a lot.

"I might not be able to kill you, but I can seal you!"

Strong murderous intent appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and the effect of the God of Berserkers Transformation instantly vanished. He lifted his right hand and pointed at the blood-red figure.

"Morning Dao's will!"

With a bang, the entire True World's will descended on the blood-red figure, causing his body to freeze, but his laughter sounded as conceited as ever.

"Immortal Sect's will!"

Su Ming let out a cold harrumph and pointed forward again. This time, the blood-red figure's laughter came to a halt. His body sank by one thousand feet, but that was all, just one thousand feet. He stopped sinking after that, and his conceited laughter reverberated through the air once more.

"You still don't have the right to seal me! Even if you are the strongest in this aeon and even have the advantage because of that, you still can't do this!"

"Sky Hill's will!"

Su Ming laughed coldly and pushed down with his right hand again. Rumbling sounds surged into the sky.

The blood-red figure's laughter came to a swift halt. Shock appeared on his face. His body sank tens of thousands of feet at that moment. In an instant, he was forced down to the surface of the ocean, but after reaching that point, he no longer continued sinking no matter what.

A cold and fierce glare shone in Su Ming's eyes. Without waiting for the blood-red figure to say anything, he lifted his right hand and made a tugging motion at the sky, as if he was yanking away a curtain.

"Change the rule of the Emperor of Abyss' True World!"

Su Ming's voice echoed in the planet and reverberated through the galaxy around him, resounding in all of the Emperor of Abyss' True World. At that moment, the weak struggles and resistance of the Emperor of Abyss' True World were instantly swept aside and suppressed before the will was wiped off. Su Ming's will occupied the True World, making the place… his Emperor of Abyss' True World!

It was just as Su Ming had said—the ruler of that place… had indeed been changed.

"Will of the Emperor of Abyss' True World!"

At the instant Su Ming said those words, he pushed down with his right hand, and a shrill scream of pain came from the blood-red figure.

"It's impossible. This is absolutely impossible. You… You have the advantage of this aeon with you. You are a life from this aeon, that's why you are stronger than me, but once your aeon is also destroyed, you will no longer have that advantage, and at that time, I'd like to see whether you are still my opponent!

"I… will wait for that day to arrive. I will wait for the day all the people around you die! When the next aeon comes, you will lose all your advantages… and at that time, we will fight again!"

With a bang, the blood-red figure was forced down to the bottom of the sea. He sank into the crack and was sealed once again.

Chapter 1300: The Distance of One Sword

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That scene caused the world to tremble. The Sovereign of Dawn sucked in a sharp breath, and when he looked at Su Ming, his expression was filled with great wariness and shock. He originally thought that Su Ming and the blood-red figure were equal in terms of strength, but in the end, the blood-red figure had been suppressed by Su Ming.

In Yan Pei's eyes, suppression was much harder when comparing it to destruction!

"He… He is indeed the strongest… in this aeon. There can be no one else but him," the Sovereign of Dawn mumbled.

Su Xuan Yi watched all of this with a pale face. His eyes sparkled, but his face became incredibly dark. The blood-red figure was his greatest secret, but right then, even if he had summoned that person, he proved to not be Su Ming's opponent, and this caused the dark emotions in Su Xuan Yi's heart to turn into broken laughter.

He did not care about the deaths of the one million cultivators. Even if all the people in the Emperor of Abyss' True World died, Su Xuan Yi would not feel even a single bit of compassion towards them.

He only felt anguish. The Su Ming before him… had become that strong at some unknown point of time…

When the wills of Su Ming's four Great True Worlds fused together, they turned into a power of a suppressive seal that was just slightly less powerful than that of Arid Triad. Because of that, there was no way the red figure would be able to fight against it. With a crazed roar and a curse as well as a heinous murderous aura and an unwillingness to admit defeat, he was sent back to the crack in the ground amid loud bangs.

Because of the suppression, he returned to the spot where he slept.

It was just as Su Ming had said—the time for him to wake up had not yet arrived. It did not matter what method he used to make himself wake up ahead of schedule… he could still not avoid the destiny of spending his time asleep.

Su Ming could not kill him. This was something he had sensed earlier. Regardless of whether it was the divine abilities he used or his wills, when they descended on the red figure, it felt like there was a membrane separating them, causing his power to be diminished in an unseen manner. It was as if the membrane was time itself, the difference of the laws between aeons, which was why… as the strongest person in this aeon, he could seal the red figure, but he could not kill him.

'Unless…'

Su Ming stared at the sea, and a chilling glare appeared in his eyes, but soon, that freezing look disappeared. He could sense that different passages of time existed between him and the powerful warrior from the previous aeon. It was as if they were in two different worlds. Only when the Expanse Cosmos where he was located was about to be destroyed by the disaster and the new aeon was born would the membrane between Su Ming and the red figure no longer exist. At that time, it would be incredibly easy for him to kill that person.

But Su Ming would rather not have that result.

In silence, he stared at the depths of the sea. He could only seal the red figure's body. The crack on the ground was still around, and the blood from one million cultivators still turned the entire sky crimson.

Su Ming sighed softly. Even if the cultivators had been the Emperor of Abyss' True World and had practically no connection to him, since he had occupied the Emperor of Abyss' True World and become the will of the True World, the people in this True World were no longer unrelated to him. They were people of his True World.

With a shake of his head, Su Ming raised his right hand and swung his arm forward.

"Time…" he said faintly.

In Su Ming's hands, one of the strongest inborn abilities of the Abyss Builders—the Art of Time Reversal—was second only to Arid Triad's great will. He activated it, and when he did so, the Art in his hands was clearly much stronger than Su Xuan Yi's.

When he swung his arm, countless threads appeared over the entire cultivation planet. Those threads were like ripples. They flowed slowly and looked as if they were the threads of life of all living beings. At that moment, most of them had shattered. They were connected together to form a rotating vortex, but at that moment, the vortex shuddered and started rotating backwards.

When it did so, the threads gradually connected together. Slowly, the blood that had been scattered away in the sky charged towards the ancient tree. On the tree crown, the crushed bodies of the one million cultivators started being assembled as time reversed.

When the one million cultivators' bodies became complete, a large amount of blood charged towards them from the sky and returned to their bodies. The cultivators' unfocused eyes instantly lit up with the shine of life. Their minds and bodies shuddered, and they looked like they had woken up from a nightmare.

The Art of Time could reverse life and death, and also create life…

When this Art was executed by Su Ming, the young man staring at the ancient tree lifted his head and cast a glance at the area above him calmly. It was as if his gaze was everywhere and he could see everything he wished to see.

"He resembles my past self somewhat…" the young man said softly.

When he averted his gaze, the scenes before their deaths appeared in the minds of the one million cultivators on the tree crown. Immediately after, the impact of the scenes turned into shock and surprise on their faces, and they stared at Su Ming with dumbfounded looks…

Su Ming's expression was calm. He lowered his head and looked at the crack stretching from the sea below him to the land in the distance, and he lifted his right hand to push at it.

Su Ming activated the Art of Time again, and as the power of time filled and enveloped the planet, the crack closed up at an extremely fast speed. The earth became one. The mountains that had crumbled because of the appearance of the crack and everything else that had shattered returned to their original states, as if the crack had never appeared.

All the people could tell the difference in strength between Su Ming and Su Xuan Yi's divine abilities to manipulate time based on what Su Xuan Yi had cast previously, because the difference was too distinct.

Even when the earth was healed and there was no longer any crack on the ground, Su Ming's Art of Time did not end. Instead, it continued moving in reverse, and eventually, it affected Su Xuan Yi, causing time to return to the moment Su Xuan Yi had coughed up blood and moved back before he summoned the blood-red figure.

When time returned to that moment, Su Ming turned around swiftly. The purple light from the End of Wills Sword in his hand surged into the sky. It let out a piercing light while it was in Su Ming's hand, and it looked like the two of them had fused. When Su Ming took a step forward, he looked like a purple long arc slicing through the sky.

Su Xuan Yi moved back with a pale face. There was anguish on his face, but not any unwillingness to admit defeat. He was left with only anguish and regret.

He watched Su Ming coming towards and death falling on his head. He sighed softly, and his expression gradually became calm.

He remembered his wife in the fifth kiln, Su Zhan, and the baby whose soul and body he had gathered together in the shattered empty space in the Fifth True World.

It felt like everything from that time was a dream. When he looked back on it right then, for some unknown reason, mixed feelings appeared in Su Xuan Yi's heart. Perhaps they had always been in him, but due to his mad desire to make the Abyss Builders rise to power, he ignored and forced them down. He thought that he did not have those complicated feelings, but only at that moment did he realize… that they had always been in him.

"My wife is in deep sleep. My son holds a grudge against me in silence. My best friend died in battle… and his son became a Saint…" Su Xuan Yi mumbled. All his thoughts had fused into a sigh that echoed in his heart.

'Was I wrong?'

It was not the first time Su Xuan Yi said those words, but it was the only time that he truly asked himself this question.

'I'm not wrong!'

The calm expression on Su Xuan Yi's face was replaced by one of determination. The complicated feelings and the confusion disappeared as well.

'I wasn't wrong. I, Su Xuan Yi, have never been wrong. I didn't walk down this path for myself, but for Abyss Builders to rise to power! It was for the Fifth True World to appear once more!

'It's… impossible for me to have been wrong! Even if I'm truly wrong, it's because there are no righteous men when walking down the path to do great things. I sacrificed my wife, sacrificed my best friend, and used Su Ming. All of that… were your destinies… because I am not wrong!

'Even if I die because of this disaster, I, Su Xuan Yi, have never been wrong!'

Su Xuan Yi's thoughts raced in his mind until resolve appeared on his face. The entire process might have seemed to have lasted for a long period of time, but in truth, it was only for an instant. When Su Ming's sword approached Su Xuan Yi, he recovered from his temporary confusion.

He stared at the purple light of Su Ming's sword, and it seemed to have become everything in Su Xuan Yi's eyes, but in the end… it could not replace everything in his vision, because ambition burned in his eyes, along with the untamable fire and his pride of a fierce and ambitious person!

Even if he was going to die, he would die standing. He had the confidence to never believe he was wrong. It was the most brilliant light that shone in his life after he had reached his level of cultivation.

While looking at Su Xuan Yi, Su Ming suddenly made his sword stop when it was about to close in on its target… because at the tip of his sword, the third prince… or rather, Lei Chen suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He blocked Su Ming's sword and stood in front of Su Xuan Yi to protect him.

Lei Chen was silent, and Su Ming was silent as well. The two of them stared at each other with a sword between them as if an aeon separated them. It seemed like everything from their childhood had turned into that one sword separating them.

"Thank you," Su Ming said softly after a long while.

Lei Chen looked at Su Ming and sighed softly before he spoke. "She is your woman. I knew you would come."

"Thank you," Su Ming said again.

"He is also my elder. You don't need to thank me."

In silence, he shook his head. Others would not understand Su Ming's two different 'thank you's, but Lei Chen could. His first thanks expressed his gratitude to Lei Chen for letting their elder take Yu Xuan away.

His second thanks was for Lei Chen fusing a wisp of his divine sense in the threads of time that bound their elder. He would not let their elder run into any danger, even if the cause of that danger was the Sovereign of Dawn.

Others would not have been able to see it, but the moment Su Ming saw his elder, he sensed Lei Chen's divine sense on his body.

Su Ming was silent for a moment. He stared at Lei Chen, and a complicated look appeared on his face. He then spoke again. "Thank you."

This time, Lei Chen did not answer him. Instead, he fell silent. He knew that Su Ming was thanking him for not telling other people that he had met him in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos.

The two people mentioned by the red figure previously referred to Su Ming… and Lei Chen. He had also fused with his other self from the other Expanse Cosmos and possessed the right to move through two Expanse Cosmoses while being indestructible even in the face of disaster.

Chapter 1301: The Past is Gone Like the Wind

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Best friend and a companion during childhood.

"I, Lei Chen, am going to be the man who will become the tribe leader! Su Ming, you have to work hard and become the Elder. At that time, whoever bullies us…"

"It doesn't matter whether you become a Berserker or not. Don't worry, I, Lei Chen, will protect you in the future."

"Hey… Su Ming, what do you think of that girl. I think I quite like her…"

"Are we… going to change..?"

The words from his memories echoed in Su Ming's mind. At that moment, there was a sword between them, and it caused him to sigh softly as complicated emotions rose within him.

"He is my father."

Lei Chen's expression was no longer complicated. Instead, he stared at Su Ming with clear as he spoke softly.

Su Ming fell silent. Only after a long time had passed did he speak.

"I won't kill him."

No matter how great of a killing intent he harbored, at that moment, before Lei Chen… he could not do anything.

In truth, when Su Ming saw Lei Chen in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, he had already made some assumptions, because he sensed the presence of the one half of the Seed of Life Extermination which he himself had nourished and which later on had been taken away by Su Xuan Yi on Lei Chen. When he stepped into the Emperor of Abyss' True World, all the answers were revealed.

Naturally, it was impossible for Yu Xuan to be Su Xuan Yi's daughter. She was only the partner he had chosen for his son. She was a furnace he had prepared to nourish the other half of the Seed of Life Extermination. She was just like Su Ming.

Then, the only person who could possibly be Su Xuan Yi's real son was the third prince beside Yu Xuan at the wedding—Lei Chen!

Lei Chen looked at Su Ming. When he heard his words, he closed his eyes, and during that instant, Su Ming took a step forward and moved past him to appear in front of Su Xuan Yi. He then sliced across the air with the sword in his right hand.

Purple light surged through the air. The sky was instantly dyed in purple, but the light disappeared the next moment. When it did, Su Xuan Yi's face turned pale, and he took a few staggering steps back.

Purple light spread out from his body. His facial color became even worse. He could clearly sense that as the purple light spread out, his body became weaker. At that moment, Su Ming's will swept past him and turned into a sharp force that stabbed his heart through his eyes.

It was as if Su Xuan Yi had turned into venous pathways. When Su Ming's will stabbed him, the purple light spread out through them.

At that moment, in a remote cultivation planet in the Emperor of Abyss' True World was a cave abode located in a mountain. Sitting in that cave was a person dressed in a long robe. The instant the purple light entered Su Xuan Yi and he looked up, he revealed an old face with purple light shining in his eyes.

It was one of Su Xuan Yi's clones. At that moment, as purple light shone in his eyes, an invisible hand shot out of the purple light and pushed down at the top of the old man's skull. He could not dodge it. With a loud bang, the old man shuddered, then crumbled into ash, his form and soul destroyed…

In uncountable palaces in True Sacred Yun World was a middle-aged man with an awe-inspiring face sitting upright at the top of a hall. During the second instant since the purple light entered Su Xuan Yi, he stared at the people below him coldly and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly, he jolted, and purple light surged out from his eyes.

While the cultivators below him were surprised by the sight, Su Ming's hand shot out of the purple light, and in a very casual manner, he pushed it against the center of the middle-aged man's brow. A loud bang shot up and reverberated through the air when the middle-aged man jolted and shattered into pieces.

In the depths of the huge vortex in the Emperor of Abyss' True World was the place where the new spirit of Essence was about to be born. In it was either Su Xuan Yi's real form or another clone, but at the third instant since the purple light entered Su Xuan Yi's body… he shuddered.

He did not open his eyes, as if he knew that if he opened his eyes, purple light would spread out. He stood up, but the moment he was about to leave, purple light spread out from his body to turn into a gentle strike on his body. He could not avoid the strike destined to hit him.

When it landed on his forehead, the sound of something cracking inch by inch echoed in the air. The purple light disappeared then, and everything was reduced to nothingness.

During the fourth instant, the aloof man who had been meditating quietly beside the corpse of Su Xuan Yi's wife in the fifth kiln let out a soft sigh. He opened his eyes and simply allowed the purple light in his eyes to fill up the air around him. Su Ming's hand appeared from the purple light, and when he pushed at the center of the man's brow, his many years of protection ended…

Located away from Black Ink Planet in Divine Essence Star Ocean was a vast ruins. It was an incredibly dangerous place, but an old man who had messy hair spilling all over his shoulders stayed there. His body was thin, and a thick wave of aura of death was spreading from it. He was sitting on a Rune at that moment.

The Rune was incredibly old, as if it was a seal that suppressed everything within it. The old man might have seemed as if he was filled with the aura of death, but there was a hint of life force in him that refused to disappear, but that was not what was strange about the old man. What was truly strange about him was that there was a mummy stuck on his back!

The mummy had been dead for an unknown number of years, but it had fixed itself tightly on the old man's back and was constantly absorbing his life force and even his aura of death like a parasite…

There was pain on the old man's face. It seemed like he had maintained this sort of life for an unknown number of years, but at that moment, his eyes flew open. There was no panic in him when purple light showed up in his eyes. Instead, there was crazed delight, as if he had been waiting for this for far too long.

As the purple light shone, Su Ming's right hand shot out from within and pushed down at the center of the old man's brow. The old man forced down the excitement in his heart. He did not dodge, and just let the hand formed by Su Ming's will to reduce him to ash. His form and soul were destroyed…

When the purple light disappeared, the mummy, now without a host, opened its eyes and let out a sharp, piercing, crazed howl filled that had a brutal tone.

The sixth instant, seventh instant…

Su Xuan Yi's clones were all destroyed when Su Ming's will swept past them. They were all completely wiped out, and only Su Xuan Yi, who was forced back before Su Ming while his face turned paler, remained. Su Ming did not wipe off this body. He had promised Lei Chen that he would let Su Xuan Yi live.

But as to how he would let him live… Su Ming chose to destroy all of Su Xuan Yi's clones. Even if his real body was among them, to Abyss Builders, even if their real body died, they could remain alive using their unique methods as long as one of their clones still lived.

Once he finished doing all of that, Su Ming cast a glance at Su Xuan Yi, whose level of cultivation had plunged down until he was only in heaven cultivation because all of his clones had died. He shook his head, then turned around to walk towards Yu Xuan. When he returned to her side, Su Ming gently tapped the center of her brow with his right hand.

Yu Xuan was still watching Su Ming. She did not move away and simply allowed his finger to land on her. Su Ming's will surged into her body. When it circulated through her once, the Seed of Life Extermination resembling half of a ship was brought out once Su Ming severed its connection with her.

When Su Ming saw numerous squirming tentacle-like threads surrounding the Seed of Life Extermination when he brought it out, disgust appeared on his face. He'd had this thing on his body in the past. When he took it out, he threw it to Lei Chen.

The half of the Seed of Life Extermination charged swiftly to Lei Chen. At the moment it touched him, it fused into his body and merged perfectly with the other half of the Seed of Life Extermination that Su Ming had nourished in the past and which was residing in Lei Chen's body. It… became complete!

"Since your father did everything he could to obtain this and make it fuse with you… then from now on, since the favors and grudges between us cannot be cleared, it is better that we let our past be gone like the wind and our memories of each other disappear…"

Su Ming cast Lei Chen a deep glance, then with Yu Xuan in hand, he moved to Elder Mo Sang. Once he bowed to him with Yu Xuan, a smile appeared on the elder's face.

"Elder… let's go home," Su Ming whispered softly.

His elder's smile became even more kindly. He nodded, and the three of them stepped into the air. When they walked out of the ancient tree, Su Ming's low whisper traveled into the Sovereign of Dawn's ears.

"Wait for me ten years later at Arid Triad's gap."

Lei Chen stared at Su Ming's back with a dispirited expression. He suddenly called out, "Su Ming…"

Su Ming stopped. When he turned his head around to look, Lei Chen's voice, filled with an indecipherable tone, reached his ears.

Lei Chen's body shuddered lightly. He stared at his childhood friend who was his best friend and mumbled, "I'll tell you the answer to the question you asked before. I don't want to change… but you've already changed."

There was a profound look in Su Ming's eyes that made it seem as if he had seen through everything. Perhaps he had not noticed many things before he came there, but when the red figure appeared, he had already obtained his answer.

When he destroyed Su Xuan Yi's clones, instead of saying that he ended the grudge between them, it would be best to say that this was actually a part of Su Xuan Yi's plans.

With Su Ming's power, he destroyed the predicament Su Xuan Yi was in. As for whether Lei Chen told Su Xuan Yi about the fact that Su Ming went to Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, Su Ming did not want to think about it. It was just as he said, he would rather treat it as it never happened and would rather that they became strangers from then on. If he was not provoked, they would not meet the other again.

"This is the Su Xuan Yi I know."

When Su Ming turned his head, he averted his gaze from Lei Chen. What he saw was a calm Su Xuan Yi with a gaze as profound as Su Ming's own. The two of them met each other's eyes, but it only lasted for an instant.

Su Ming left, and he brought with him Yu Xuan as well as his elder. He walked out of the tree crown. Behind him, the one million cultivators wrapped their fists in their palms and bowed to him. They did so to thank him for saving their lives.

"Wait."

Once he arrived on the sea while Lei Chen remained dispirited with a complicated expression on his face and Su Xuan Yi stared at him with a calm look and a profound gaze, Su Ming stopped once more.

He turned his head around. This time, he did not look at the tree crown, but the elegant young man standing beside the ancient tree. At that moment, he was also looking at Su Ming.

At the instant their gazes met, a smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He looked at the young man, the sea, and the ancient tree, then spoke softly to Yu Xuan and his elder,

"I'm going to meet a senior… Wait for me for a while here."

As Su Ming spoke, he walked towards the ancient tree. The young man under the tree smiled and watched him approach.

They were above a vast sea, right beside an ancient tree, and the shades of green and blue seemed to connect to the sky.

Chapter 1302: Arid Triad

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the vast sea, beside the ancient tree, the shades of green and blue seemed to be connected to the sky.

The waves glistened, seas of clouds tumbled. Where could one find the end of the world?

The ancient tree was old, and the shadows of people ancient. Who was younger before the passage of time?

Perhaps there was someone else who was even older than time itself.

It would be the young man standing beneath the tree with a warm smile while watching Su Ming approach.

When Su Ming saw the person under the tree and gradually drew closer to him, he felt as if he was moving step by step into the ancient aeon of the past. With each step, he would go through countless aeons and return to the past, to an unknown period of time long ago… The sky seemed to no longer move. Everything in the world had stopped, and it did so… because Su Ming and the person under the tree were destined to meet.

They were like night and day. They could not meet each other, but only catch a glimpse of each other's shadow during dusk and dawn, yet even that glimpse was indistinct. Night could not see the noon, and daylight could not see midnight.

But perhaps there would come a day when night would meet day, and that moment would be just like when the young man under the tree met with Su Ming.

Soon, there were two people under the tree. Even though the air between the sky and sea did not move, the setting sun was still around. Its last rays shone on the sea, drawing out Su Ming and the young man's shadows on water. They were long… very long…

While Su Ming watched the young man, the young man, too, watched Su Ming. At the moment their eyes met, Su Ming saw endless age and profundity in the young man's gaze. There was also a hint of fatigue in that profundity that could not be dispelled.

That fatigue seemed to be the type that would only be possessed by someone who had lived for far too long. It was a natural fatigue. The young man did not want to hide it, and so he did not even try. It was there in his gaze, and his entire life was contained in that fatigue. If anyone understood it, they would understand the world, and if they did not understand it… they would not see him.

Those who fell into the latter category would be just like Yu Xuan at that moment. She could not see the young man under the tree. Elder Mo Sang was little different. He might appear as calm as ever, but his heart trembled greatly. He could not see the young man, but he could see two long shadows in the reflection of the tree on the surface of the sea.

The two shadows swayed as the waves glistened in the light. They would occasionally shatter and sometimes appear complete. It was as if the rise and fall of entire galaxies was contained between the shattering and completion of the shadows. They contained the rise and fall of all lives, as well as their paths.

It seemed like life was actually very simple, just a reflection on the surface of the sea. It was just a shadow that would sway along with the waves.

If anyone took a glance at the sea, they would only see normal shadows, but if they observed them closely, they would find that the ripples of the shadows signified a person's entire life.

They also resembled the moment night and day met. It looked like they could not mix, just like how fire and water could not mix, but it also seemed like they could tolerate each other in a strange fashion, showing a destruction and a wholesomeness created when they crashed into each other in an unseen manner.

"Do you understand now?"

After a long while, the young man under the tree spoke gently without the smile leaving his face. There was not a hint of fierceness and forcefulness in his voice. It was gentle, as if he was a friend, a family member, or an elder.

Perhaps there were people who would answer his question that they did not understand, and there would perhaps be people who would tell him that they understood. However, the moment anyone said either of the two answers, they would place themselves in a disadvantage. In fact, if anyone compared the young man's question to a divine ability, then at that moment, the person who answered would come under its effect.

If a person answered that they did not understand, their actions would be manipulated by the young man's will. If the person answered that they understood, then similarly, in a manner that they would not notice, they would become one with the young man under the tree through his will.

One sentence. One divine ability. His killing intent never appeared, and it could not be noticed by anyone. Only the gentle smile could be seen, but in truth, this was the most unfamothable intent of all of Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.

"What about you?"

After some time, a smile appeared on Su Ming's face as well, and he spoke faintly. There was no reverence in his voice, and neither was there the tenderness he would have if he was the older one in the situation. He did not show some unnecessary respect that was expected from a younger person either. He spoke in a tone he would have when he spoke with an equal. His voice was faint, but his tone very sincere.

He also answered a question with a question. He did not answer whether he understood or not. However, because of this sort of answer, praise appeared in the eyes of the young man. He admired Su Ming for not running away but going along with his question. However, he did not end up being manipulated by his will. Instead, he answered his question with another question.

It was a simple question. Perhaps others would not be able to detect too much of a profound meaning behind it, but to the young man under the tree, this question was perhaps something only Su Ming could do and say under this situation.

It might seem ordinary, but it was most definitely anything but ordinary! It might seem like plenty of people could do this… but in truth, in this sort of situation, they would be led to giving up the initiative from their hands without their knowledge, which was what the young man under the tree had done intentionally.

The young man's smile remained on his face as he stared at Su Ming. While smiling, he shook his head. His expression was gentle when he said faintly, "You don't understand."

Su Ming stared at the young man under the tree. He did not speak, but instead watched the light of the setting sun in the distance gradually become weaker. It seemed like the entire sun was about to be devoured by the sea. This scene was like a picture that touched the heart of anyone who saw it, and they would definitely watch it closely.

"When the sun sets, everything in the world becomes dark. You don't understand the darkness at night, and you won't understand why living beings would close their eyes in the dark as well.

"Neither will you understand why living beings open their eyes when the sun rises.

"That is why you will not understand the brilliance of the disaster. It is why… you are scared, but the more scared you are, the more you will want to see… your family, your friends, and everything beside you… never open their eyes in the darkness."

The voice of the young man under the tree was gentle. If it was someone else around, they might not be able to quite understand what he had said, but Su Ming, who knew of the young man's identity, could.

"Everything has already been predestined, just like how I was destined to come here and meet you."

The young man under the tree cast a deep look at Su Ming. As his voice echoed in the air, he looked at the setting sun in the distance, and he found that most of it had already disappeared within the sea.

Su Ming smiled. He watched the young man before him. His smile was calm and as light as water.

"Perhaps we were destined to meet in this place, then our meeting is also destined to turn into a setting sun… If I chase after the setting sun… do you think it fall or never fall in my eyes?" When Su Ming said those words, the young man's eyes became focused again.

"If it falls, is it because I wasn't fast enough, or is it because this destined setting sun is bound to fall? If it doesn't fall, then when I chase after it for some time… would this sun still be a setting sun… or would it become a rising sun that will appear the next day?

"Let's put it in other words, while I chase after the sun, would the sky be black, or would it be white?" Su Ming asked four consecutive questions in one go, and the moment he said them, he made the young man's eyes focus four times.

Each word in their exchange was exquisite. There was no killing intent contained in their speech, but it was a battle of wills that was like a question of their Daos.

"That is why it's not that I don't understand it, but it's because you… don't understand… The moment I saw this tree, I knew that when you believe you are you, you… are no longer you.

"When you believe you are no longer you, only then will you be you," Su Ming said slowly while staring at the young man under the tree.

The young man under the tree fell silent. After a long while, he sighed softly.

"Your appearance is indeed beyond my expectations. I've been asleep for too long, so long that I forgot many things… Are you certain… that you want to work with it… to Possess me?"

The young man stared at Su Ming. His voice was as gentle as ever, but the smile on his face faded away.

Su Ming fell silent.

"The path you want to take is different from mine…" Su Ming said softly.

"There is no one same path, but as long as a path exists, then all paths will eventually fuse into one… to become Dao," the young man said faintly.

"The world is heartless. It sent the disaster on us. Since the destruction of the world is something that is bound to happen, if you are me, you will do the same thing."

The young man under the tree swung his arm. The sky above the capital planet of the Emperor of Abyss' True World immediately darkened. Everything froze. A vortex that no one besides Su Ming and the young man could see appeared there.

The vortex rotated without a single sound. Bolts of lightning swam about it, intersecting and collide with each other. Every single time they collided, the sparks produced seemed to contain the laws of the world in them. As they rose and fell, it looked as if a huge flower born during an age where everything flourished had bloomed in the vortex.

Su Ming looked at each of the sparks in the vortex. When his gaze gathered on one of them, he saw the birth and destruction of each aeon. He saw the deaths of all lives, heard the indignant roars from the people of that time, and witnessed their resentment and anger towards the world. Each spark was an aeon!

"What you see is the despair that is almost identical in every aeon before the disaster fell on them. This is the heartless world. Only by completely destroying it would everything no longer need to go through the disaster."

The young man's voice showed no signs that he was worked up. It remained as calm and gentle as ever. Even if there was a sharp note in his words, his voice was still gentle and light. It would not make anyone think bad of him. Instead, they would listen to him carefully to figure out the true meaning behind his words.

"I have walked this path alone, but I cannot be alone in my path for too long. Are you… willing to walk down this path with me? Are you willing to walk down this path and Possess the world so that the disasters will no longer fall upon us, so that all manner of lives will no longer be destroyed by the world but can gain control over their own lives? This is the oath I swore under this tree in the past. It is my will that has never changed since I Possessed a part of Harmonious Morus Alba and turned this Expanse Cosmos into Arid Triad!

"I am Arid Triad! I am the master of this Expanse Cosmos. I am the ancestor of all living things with wills. If… you are willing to follow my footsteps, even if the disaster descends, I can make it so that True Morning Dao World will not perish!"

The young man under the tree stared at Su Ming. When he spoke, he lifted his head. An indescribably mighty pressure instantly spread out from his body. It made it seem like he was the master of the entire universe. It was as if with a flip of his palm, he could turn the sky dark. With a fling of his arm, he could make the stars and space itself move back and crumble.

Su Ming's pupils shrank. The young man's final words made him stare at the body Arid Triad sent down for a long, long time.

Chapter 1303: This Butterfly is You…

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"I have to think about it." After some time, Su Ming spoke slowly. His expression was incredibly solemn.

"You do indeed need to think about this carefully. Oh well, I will give you a time limit… of one hundred years. If you've thought about it and have chosen your answer, you will naturally be able to sense my presence.

"During these one hundred years, you cannot Possess any other True World, or else… I will seal you! And the price for sealing you will be that the disaster will be brought forward by a couple more hundred years.

"If you don't choose the answer I want… I will seal you as well. I will only wait for you for a hundred years."

The young man smiled faintly and cast a glance at Su Ming with a thought-provoking look. When he turned around, he walked into the air. His figure possessed natural grace.

When he took his first step, half of his flesh vanished, and that half turned into a skeleton. When he took his second step, the other half of his body was reduced to a skeleton, but he still had a certain amount of life force in him. When he took his third step, it was as if the will gathered in that body had finally left. The skeleton was reduced to ash which disappeared along with the wind.

Su Ming watched Arid Triad leave. He focused his attention to the body of the cultivator Arid Triad had very casually chosen on this cultivation planet so that his will could descend on him. Due to it, all the potential of his life was stimulated so that he could bear the burden. At that moment, when Arid Triad left, the body withered and turned to ash.

As he watched this scene, Su Ming fell silent. Once Arid Triad left, the entire planet returned to normal.

Su Ming's expression was calm, but a barely noticeable sharp glint appeared in his eyes. When he lowered his head, he cast a deep glance at the ancient tree before him. After a long while… he looked at it again. This time, Su Ming watched it for a long time until he closed his eyes, and when he did, a resolute and firm look appeared beneath his shut eyelids.

The entire talk with Arid Triad to the moment Arid Triad had told him to make his choice might have seemed normal, but only those who had reached Su Ming's level would be able to sense the dangers lurking within it.

Every single one of Arid Triad's sentences contained a sharp and fierce intent. If Su Ming was the slightest bit careless, he would not have been offered a choice, but would have started the war between himself and Arid Triad's will ahead of schedule.

Su Ming's answers, his comparison of night and day and his words when he spoke about the direction of the sun setting if he chased after it contained his will. He did not show any signs of it being affected or changing when he spoke with Arid Triad, which was why Arid Triad did not attack him.

After all, Su Ming already had the right to Possess Arid Triad, which was why even Arid Triad would find it hard to destroy him. He needed a chance and Su Ming showing a weakness so that his plan to descend during the disaster five hundred years later to search for Harmonious Morus Alba and Possess it would not be disturbed. If Su Ming affected his plan at that time, Arid Triad would end up losing more than he gained.

That was why he had asked Su Ming to make a choice, but this choice was in truth not a choice. It was a very blatant threat, but if Su Ming treated it as a real threat, then Su Ming was bound to be sealed. Even if he chose to work together with Arid Triad… Arid Triad would definitely fulfill his promise. He would just seal Su Ming.

Because this choice was a seed. It was a seed Arid Triad planted in Su Ming's heart, just like how Su Ming had planted his seed in Arid Triad with his words about day and night.

Nothing exciting seemed to have happened during the encounter, but only Su Ming and Arid Triad knew that both of them had actually started showing signs of wanting to attack just then.

Su Ming opened his eyes. He turned around and walked towards Yu Xuan and Elder Mo Sang, who was watching him with a face filled with worry.

"Who… was he?"

Su Ming's elder hesitated for a moment before a hint of understanding appeared on his face. The answer to his question had in truth appeared in the elder's heart between the moment he hesitated to ask the question and when that look of understanding appeared on his face.

"Arid Triad."

Su Ming smiled faintly. He did not say much. When he stared at his very clearly older elder, he knew that there were far too many secrets within the elder's mind, and they were related to the elder's past self as well as Great Berserker Tribe…

"Let's… go home," Su Ming said softly.

With Yu Xuan in tow and while Su Ming stayed beside his elder, the three of them turned into long arcs and left the cultivation planet. They entered the galaxy and disappeared from the Emperor of Abyss' True World.

Disappearing with them was an excited bald crane and an elated Abyss Dragon. One of them… took away all the crystals from the True World, and the other… had fulfilled its ambitions from when it was younger. The Abyss Dragon mentioned not a word of it, but based on how it often seemed to be recounting its experiences, it looked like there was a hint of lust contained in its ambitions, no matter how anyone looked at it…

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three years passed. Su Ming had returned to Ninth Summit. During the three years, he did not venture out again. He kept his senior brothers company while Yu Xuan, Cang Lan, and Xu Hui stayed beside him.

The elder had finally returned to the Berserkers. He built a house at the foot of Dark Mountain, and just like a real old man in the mortal world, he watched the sun rise and set. He lived a very peaceful life.

He had plenty of stories. Perhaps they were stories that spanned through the four eras of their aeon, but Su Ming did not ask him about them. Instead, he often came to sit beside his elder and watch the sky with him. Every single time he did so, Su Ming would remember the Dark Mountain. He remembered Xiao Hong, and all the people who were now strangers to him.

He might not have asked his elder about his secrets, but with Su Ming's level of cultivation, he could already tell some of what was going on. He could see the signs of repeated cycles of life on his elder. With those cycles, the Elder of Great Berserker Tribe had preserved his soul. During them, he might have been searching for the scene he saw when he predicted the Berserker Day but which no one else could see.

It was a butterfly that gave Great Berserker Tribe their future…

The elder lifted his head and looked at Su Ming, who had already left into the distance after he had spent the entire day with him. Under the moonlight, he mumbled softly under his breath, "That butterfly isn't Harmonious Morus Alba… That butterfly is you… my La Su."

As he murmured those words, a sparkle of expectation appeared in his eyes. He would never forget the scene he saw when he predicted the Berserker Day… He had gone through countless cycles of life and death all so that he could wait for Su Ming and protect this child. He had him get in touch with the Berserkers and had him acknowledge them…

During the three years, with his outstanding abilities, second senior brother finally extended Ninth Summit's influence to all areas in True Morning Dao World after Su Ming had stunned and intimidated Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, causing Ninth Summit to live up to their name of being the only sect in True Morning Dao World.

Eldest senior brother also had increased his power every single day. As for Hu Zi, his personality prevented him from staying in one place quietly for too long, so he often ventured out to sweep through the entire True World and pass through the other True Worlds as if displaying Ninth Summit's strength.

Due to Su Ming's existence and the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's fear towards him, the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier were forced to retreat when Ninth Summit passed by. This also caused the battles where the other True Worlds were clearly in a disadvantage to be unable to continue the moment Hu Zi appeared.

And most of the time, when Hu Zi saw fighting, he would immediately shout, "Ninth Summit has beautiful mountains and clear waters. When Dark Dawn and Saint Defier see Ninth Summit, they have to make a detour! My youngest junior brother is the strongest person in all of Arid Triad, and he is in Ninth Summit. Those who want to join the Ninth Summit, immediately shout. I'd like to see which of these brats from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier would dare to attack you."

It was the truth of the situation as well. As long as Hu Zi was in the battlefield and as long as there were people who shouted that they wanted to join Ninth Summit, even if that person was about to be killed by the cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, they would immediately be released. No one had the courage to attack people that belonged to Ninth Summit, and they would not even care about the backlash of their divine abilities because they had stopped attacking.

They could only nurse their grievances, because the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei had already told all the cultivators… that Ninth Summit was not to be provoked. But the Sovereign of Dawn was not the only one who reacted this way… It was an order that would bring death to all who went against it, for it was an order that unanimously came from all three Sovereigns of Dawn from Dark Dawn and the three Lords from Saint Defier.

In fact, every single time there were new cultivators who descended from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier in True Morning Dao World, they would first go near Ninth Summit and bow to it before leaving.

Su Ming's name had spread through all of Arid Triad during the three years, and because of it, Ninth Summit's influence became stronger. The number of cultivators who joined it increased by multiple fold. Those were cultivators who had once belonged to other True Worlds. For whatever reason, they chose to become Ninth Summit's disciple. Branch sects had appeared in Ninth Summit, and eldest senior brother and Hu Zi were stationed in the two sects to intimidate the world around them.

Time passed, and another three years went by. During them, some huge incidents happened, such as Su Xuan Yi and Lei Chen disappearing from the Emperor of Abyss' True World, the Emperor of Abyss' True World surrendering to Dark Dawn, and the Sublime Paragon of that True World who had avoided being killed by Su Ming in the past choosing to become Ninth Summit's disciple.

After persevering for five years, True Sacred Yin World was occupied by Dark Dawn and Saint Defier during the sixth year when their True World Protection Rune crumbled. The living beings in there suffered miserably, and the number of deaths was devastating…

Su Ming did not care about any of that. He was not a saint. His heart would only be gentle towards the people he cared about. As for the others… to him, who had already become the strongest will in this Expanse Cosmos second only to Arid Triad, they were all just a part of the rise and fall of life.

It did not matter whether it was Dark Dawn or Saint Defier, for Su Ming had understood a long time ago that the true reason behind why they caused the war. It was an offering…

When the third period of three years arrived and ended, a change of tides appeared in the war that Su Ming paid no attention to. He had predicted the change in tide, because an offering… would require sacrifice from both sides, not just one side, or else it would be a massacre and not an offering.

The change in tide came from the Fourth True World. The Antecedental Spirits who were suppressed in there during the fourth era seemed to have had all the seals suppressing them released in an instant. When they ventured outwards, they waged an intense war against Dark Dawn and Saint Defier.

Their war even affected Ninth Summit. The madness and arrogance of the Antecedental Spirits who were released caused the four True Worlds in Arid Triad to look as if they had descended into an age of chaos. Only at that moment did Su Ming lift his right hand and put down the chess piece he was about to use to play against his elder. He lifted his head and looked in the direction of the Fourth True World.

"We should… give those Antecedental Spirits a lesson. This Expanse Cosmos can descend into chaos, but there must be in order in chaos, not chaos as of such."

When Su Ming spoke faintly, his elder smiled kindly. He did not speak, but lowered his head to look at the chessboard.

Chapter 1304: Let This Sea and This Tree Merge Into One

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The elder watched the chessboard. With a smile on her face, Yu Xuan remained seated next to Su Ming. Her expression was one of incredible attentiveness. She was also staring at the chessboard.

When Su Ming spoke, a sly look appeared in her eyes. She lifted her hand and tugged a lock of hair dancing in the wind behind her ear. During that moment, Cang Lan suddenly coughed softly by the side.

"Elder." The elder lifted his head, and the moment his gaze landed on Cang Lan, Yu Xuan put down her hand. She then moved a white piece belonging to the elder on the chessboard.

"Elder, there are quite a number of Berserkers who would like to greet you. Would you let them meet you in the next few days?"

Cang Lan's expression remained the same. Not a single hint of change of emotion could be detected on her. She asked the elder with a gentle demeanor and looked incredibly respectful.

"You… can make the arrangements as you like."

The elder smiled amicably. As he spoke, he instinctively wanted to lower his head to look at the chessboard, but at that moment, a smile bloomed on Xu Hui's face while she was beside Su Ming. She swept her gaze past Cang Lan and Yu Xuan before she spoke.

"Elder, you will need some time before you can continue with the game. Why don't you tell us things about Su Ming when he was a child?"

"That's right, elder. Tell us about his childhood! Don't you agree, big sister Cang Lan?" Yu Xuan said quickly. The three of them did not differentiate themselves by age, but both Yu Xuan and Xu Hui referred to the gentle and elegant Cang Lan as their big sister.

Xu Hui was the second. Regardless of whether it was her personality or the words she usually used, Yu Xuan gave off the feeling that she was young, which was why she was the youngest among the three women.

The elder laughed. He no longer looked at the chessboard but instead lifted his head to look at the three women beside Su Ming. His smile became even more kindly. The three women each had their own talents, and all of them were genii.

He looked at them, then looked at Su Ming, who had closed his eyes at that moment, and he joyfully told them some of the more interesting things Su Ming had done when he was younger.

But he did not know that the game had been changed, causing Su Ming's original disadvantage to change into an advantage.

Su Ming did not pay any attention to any of it. At the instant he closed his eyes, he spread his divine sense, turned it into his will, and then… sent it to descend in the Fourth True World.

The galaxy there was filled with chaos. Wills belonging to Antecedental Spirits filled the entire True World, and they brought with them the desire to wreak havoc and madness. They had arrogance that made it feel as if they wanted to tear apart the world. When they rose in the galaxy, they filled up the Fourth True World and brought forth a bloody massacre.

The killing even extended to Sacred Yin, and the Emperor of Abyss' True World. In fact, there were even some Antecedental Spirits who had come from the Fourth True World to True Morning Dao World. As they laughed madly while roaring, they engaged in a fight to the death against people from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. Once anyone died, the Antecedental Spirits would immediately suck in a breath to absorb the dead cultivators into their bodies, devouring them.

In truth… the Antecedental Spirits who had their seals broken and were released by the Fourth True World did not even care whether their enemies were from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. The cultivators from the other True Worlds also became their targets, as if they were their food.

With every cultivator they devoured, they would become stronger. Because of it, the Antecedental Spirits who rushed out of the Fourth True World stirred up another disaster in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.

The cultivators from Arid Triad, Dark Dawn, and Saint Defier continued dying one after another. The Antecedental Spirit's release and slaughter during that year caused Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos to be slightly different. Su Ming could also sense that as the people died, the power of his own will rose by quite a large margin. Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos was filled with a brutality and an invisible power that could make people descend into madness.

It was as if a bloody flower that would only appear in the apocalypse was blooming and spreading out. Su Ming could sense that the feeling of Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos moving during the past ten years was faster than before the war began, and it was faster by seventy years.

Everything seemed to happen faster by seven times!

Only by doing so could Arid Triad make the disaster that would originally require three thousand something years to appear when the four wings overlap to be reduced to only five hundred years.

As he watched Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos' change, Su Ming filed all of this information away as if he had come to understand everything. His heart was calm, and not a single ripple appeared due to the things happening around him. He knew that one hundred years later, he would have to face a disaster, and that disaster would come from Arid Triad.

If Su Ming could not get through the disaster, there would be no future to speak of, but if he could survive, then five hundred years later, Arid Triad's disaster would arrive, and during the instant the wings overlapped, Su Ming would Possess Arid Triad.

He would not choose to cooperate with Arid Triad. Forget the choice Arid Triad had provided to him. That was not a choice, but a seed planted at the bottom of his heart. One hundred years later, when the seed grew, it would bring him a life-threatening disaster that would end up with him being sealed.

Even if Arid Triad truly wanted to work with Su Ming, Su Ming would still not make that choice, because… it was as the young man had said—their paths were different!

When anyone reached Su Ming and Arid Triad's level of cultivation, there was no longer a distinction between good and bad between them, and neither were there any sort of grudge… A battle of wills would happen due to their paths being different and because there was little common ground for understanding between them.

In truth, Su Ming was originally not certain of this either… but he had cast three deep glances at the ancient tree on the capital planet of the Emperor of Abyss' True World before he left, and those three glances had allowed him to understand the meaning of preordained fate.

Su Ming would not hide from the promise he made with Arid Triad under the ancient tree one hundred years later. He would go!

On the vast sea below the ancient tree, the shades of blue and green seemed to connect with the sky. The blue was the ocean, and green was the tree that seemed to melt the line separating the ocean and the sky so that it could make the sky truly connect with the sea and make the sea turn into one with the tree…

'Perhaps they had always been one…'

Su Ming sighed in his heart. He focused his mind and stopped thinking about those things. Instead, as his will spread out, he had it filled all of Arid Triad. Even if True Sacred Yin World's will did not belong to Su Ming, even if the Fourth True World's will tried to reject him, Su Ming had possessed four Great True Worlds, so he could instantly suppress the two great wills, causing them… to not dare reveal their presences. Instead, they allowed Su Ming to sweep through their True Worlds with his will.

In a galaxy to the east of the Fourth True World was a huge swamp. A bloody stench spread out from within it. Submerged in the putrid water were countless corpses of cultivators from Dark Dawn, Saint Defier, as well as Arid Triad. There were a few dozen corpses belonging to disciples from Ninth Summit's branch sects as well.

Those people had already lost their lives, and as their bodies were submerged in the swamp, they slowly rotted away and absorbed. Surrounding the swamp were nearly thirty thousand cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. They people had cautious looks, and under the lead of three Antecedental Spirits from their Expanse Cosmoses, they were engaged in a battle of divine abilities against the swamp.

When booming sounds echoed in the air, a face showed up from within the swamp. There was a ferocious look on it when it looked at the cultivators before it.

"All… of you… must die!"

A muffled roar reverberated through space. The swamp swiftly grew larger, but at that moment, a will so great that it caused all thirty thousand cultivators' minds to instantly go blank and made the three Antecedental Spirits belonging to Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to instantly feel as if their souls had frozen up appeared. When they lost their consciousness, the huge swamp shuddered, and the face on it swiftly looked up to glare at space. The being's pupils shrank, and shock appeared on his face.

"Who are you?! WHO ARE YOU??!!"

When his shouts echoed in space, a cold harrumph could be heard. Immediately after, a hand appeared in space. It was not big, and it pushed down lightly, but the swamp immediately roared. It started drying up, and a large number of cracks instantly appeared. Banging sounds reverberated through space, and nearly four-tenths of the swamp crumbled.

"I, Su Ming, do not care about you killing the cultivators from Dark Dawn, Saint Defier, or Arid Triad… but provoking Ninth Summit is not allowed. Do not repeat your mistake."

Su Ming's voice traveled into the ears of the Antecedental Spirit in the swamp, intimidating him greatly and causing the swamp to not dare to show even a hint of struggle or resistance as it trembled.

During that moment, Ninth Summit was branded deeply into the divine sense of the Antecedental Spirit in the swamp, and it became a taboo!

Su Ming's terrifying might had shocked the Antecedental Spirit. No matter how mad he was, in the face of the absolute power that could destroy him with a flip of his hand, he could only lower his head and show respect.

To the west of the Fourth True World, a crazed laughter shook the sky. A person with a body like a normal person but with two legs that were one hundred feet long walked through the galaxy. His body parts seemed incompatible with each other, and he looked incredibly bizarre, but there was a presence that would bring terror to others spreading out from his body.

The person's hair was a mess, and his upper body was uncovered. When he took a step forward, he smiled in a way that held a hint of lust. He was chasing after eight cultivators.

Among the eight of them, three came from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, four from the Emperor of Abyss' True World, and one was a female cultivator who had entered Ninth Summit's branch sect from True Sacred Yin World three years ago.

The long-legged strange man laughed and lifted his right hand, which immediately shot forward. As if a vacuum had been formed, the three cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier were instantly pulled to him. When they fell into his palm, he crushed them, and the three turned into minced meat with a bang.

The huge hand appeared again, and the minced meat turned into the most aggressive Enchanted Vessel that charged towards the remaining five cultivators. As the four from the Emperor of Abyss' True World screamed in pain, the minced meat shot through their bodies, and they became a part of that minced meat.

As for the female cultivator from Ninth Summit, her face was pale when she was seized by the strange man's right hand, which was now several times larger than before. She was brought before him, and the lust in the strange man's eyes grew even greater.

"Not bad, you can be a furnace."

The strange man laughed loudly and tossed the woman into his sleeve. In that seemingly small sleeve were thousands of female cultivators he had captured.

He turned around and was just about to leave when he suddenly jolted. His expression instantly became grave. He narrowed his eyes and fixed his stare on a white-robed figure who had appeared behind him at some unknown point of time.

"An Antecedental Spirit such as you should not be sealed. You should be wiped off straight away."

Su Ming frowned. When he said those words, he took a step forward. The strange man roared. He could sense a powerful threat to his life coming from Su Ming. But when he was about to retreat, Su Ming took a step forward and moved past him.

As Su Ming left into the distance, the giant experienced a full body shudder. His head swiftly separated from his body, which withered right after. His sleeve was torn into shreds, and when the thousands of female cultivators in it fled, the strange man's body crumbled with a bang to turn into waves of aura that fused into the women, becoming the greatest serendipity that could make their cultivation bases increase by leaps and bounds.
