When the fifth kiln appeared in the world, its flames would cover the entire Divine Essence Star Ocean. The boundless sea of fire would burn all the lives who tried to disrespect it.
Those who would charge through the sea of fire would definitely be powerful warriors in the Immortal Realm. Only they could tread on the sea of fire and head to the fifth kiln to search for death, serendipity, and … to search for the Fifth True World that had survived the flames of war before it disappeared in the legends.
If they could step into the Fifth True World, then they could obtain all the resources and power of World Planes in the entire True World. They could continue until the disaster of ten thousand worlds was averted, and in one go … they could become Masters of Fate, Lives, and Death.
This legend spoke of the Fifth True World, and it praised the fifth kiln.
However, since ancient times, every single time the fifth kiln appeared, there were few who could walk through the sea of fire. This required a person to have a deep epiphany towards the origin of fire and turn into fire. At the very least … they would need a ferocious beast that could dance with fire as their companion. Only then … could they walk through the sea of fire.
Su Ming's understanding towards fire was not so deep that he understood the origin of fire and all its structures. His understanding towards fire was so deep that he could make fire appear out of nowhere when he breathed.
His understanding towards fire was only slightly greater than that of a normal person. After all … he had inherited the legacy of the Fire Berserker, but to Su Ming, the level of the Fire Berserker was already a little too low. This level of understanding towards fire was not enough for him to walk through the sea of fire when the fifth kiln was activated.
That was why he needed a ferocious beast, a ferocious beast that could be born from fire!
This sort of ferocious beast was not something that could be found easily. None of the ferocious spirits in Su Ming's memories fulfilled this requirement … but the black horse he saw in the world in the vortex and its heroic bearing as it moved forward while treading on fire gave Su Ming a strong feeling at first glance.
He had a feeling that this was … a ferocious spirit that could bring him through the sea of fire. This was a ferocious beast that could allow him to look down on everything in the sea of fire!
That was why he had to obtain this beast. Before the next time the fifth kiln was activated, he had to make this beast his pet!
This was very difficult …
However, Su Ming had already made his decision. If Lie Shan Xiu was the only one missing and Su Ming came to search for clues, then even if he could somewhat guess that there was a high possibility that he had entered the Fifth True World, Su Ming would still hesitate. In the end, there was a high possibility that he would choose to give up and return to True Morning Dao World.
After all, he wasn't ready yet.
However, Tian Xie Zi was also added to this matter, and the weight he held in Su Ming's heart became incredibly heavy. Besides, he also wanted to go back and take a look at the Abyss Builders' homeland, the Fifth True World.
All of these things made Su Ming make up his mind!
He wanted to wait for the fifth kiln to be activated in Divine Essence Star Ocean. He wanted to obtain the fifth stone from the fifth kiln and bring it to the fifth ocean at the core of Divine Essence Star Ocean. From there … he would step into the Fifth True World.
"This is my path … A path that was already set when I descended in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, Crimson Flame Planet … I tried to break free of it, but in the end, my path still pointed … towards the Fifth True World." Su Ming walked beside Dijiu Mo Sha. He looked at the galaxy in the distance with a calm expression.
"The reason why I can't break free is because this path wasn't chosen for me by some mysterious will. It's because I've already decided on this path in my own subconscious." An ancient look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. As he grew older and experienced more things … he got used to thinking, got used to being alone, and got used to being alone.
A person's world might not be colorful, but in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, a person's life would have a rare peace.
After all, he was a person.
If the bald crane had not been by his side, Su Ming did not know what his personality would have been like. Perhaps he would have been extreme, prejudiced, or perhaps when he closed his eyes, he would have been like a blade, and when he opened them, hints of blood would have appeared in his eyes.
"Because I'm from the Fifth True World …" Su Ming shook his head. He did not agree with this, but he had to suppress the desire to go to the Fifth True World to take a look at it.
"Perhaps it's because of her …" As Su Ming walked through the galaxy, the darkness around him made him remember the woman he had sensed in his memories when he was in Western Ring Nebula's foreign lands. She was … his mother, who was unfamiliar yet familiar, cold yet warm.
It was a woman he had never met before.
"Or perhaps it's because of her …" Su Ming remembered … his little sister, who had not called out to him for a long time.
He had never experienced true love in his life. It did not matter whether it was Bai Ling or Yu Xuan. They seemed to have disappeared, but they were just catkins in his heart. They floated in the wind and could never land on the ground. Even if they did land … they would fly up again in the wind.
Because they were not the only catkins. Su Ming himself was also a catkin without roots in the sky. He floated around without a home, without roots.
If there was one thing he had, then it was the feeling of first love when he was ignorant about love.
It was a hint of the past rainbow in the gray of his emotions. It was like a sigh in the wind and snow, like the snow that did not turn white even after he walked down it … like the promise he had been unable to fulfill in the past.
Some of the ripples from his memories crushed through the light dust of time and shattered to pieces.
"I … don't understand love. I … don't understand love." Su Ming sighed softly. His sigh turned into faint ripples in the galaxy. There was sadness contained in those ripples, and it was a flower that no one could understand. It could only bloom its loneliness in the silent darkness.
Su Ming stared at the galaxy. He noticed that as he grew older and experienced more things, he would subconsciously immerse himself in his memories. He would always turn his head back to look at all the regrets he had in his life.
"I'm old … because I always remember the time when I was young. Young La Su, only when a person is old will he feel sentimental about his entire life. Only then will he count the rainbows in the past." His elder's voice echoed in Su Ming's ears. He had forgotten which year and which season it was, but his voice had a hint of laughter in it.
Time trickled by. Four hours later, six piercing whistles came from Dijiu Mo Sha's body, interrupting Su Ming's thoughts.
Those whistles were incredibly piercing to the ears. They sounded like shrill screams of pain, causing Dijiu Mo Sha's expression to change. Before he could say anything else to Su Ming, he immediately brought out a medicinal core from his bosom. That medicinal core was black, but when it appeared in his hand, it immediately started moving.
That was not a medicinal core. It was the shape of a medicinal core formed by a black centipede hugging itself together. Resolution appeared in Dijiu Mo Sha's eyes, and he gritted his teeth before swallowing it.
Once he did so, black smoke immediately rose from Dijiu Mo Sha's face. The image of a centipede could be seen faintly on his face, causing him to look incredibly ferocious.
"I will travel at full speed and spare no expense to use up my life force. The tribe is facing a great danger. If you walk past this galaxy, you will see a floating continent. That … is where my tribe is." Once he finished speaking, black smoke immediately spread out from Dijiu Mo Sha's body. He threw his head back and roared, and with an unprecedented speed, he instantly disappeared.
A focused glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He had tried shifting before, but the galaxy at that moment was incredibly strange. He could not shift, as if there was a natural barrier around him.
At the instant Dijiu Mo Sha's body disappeared, Su Ming took a step forward, and like a bolt of lightning slicing through the sky, he charged into the distance. He had only moved for a dozen something breaths when he suddenly heard seven indistinct whistles coming from the area ahead of him!
He did not stop moving. Instead, he moved even faster. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, he saw a floating continent in the galaxy in the distance.
There were irregular cracks around the continent, a telling sign that it had been separated from a planet after it crumbled. Shattered mountains could be seen on the land, and the ground was dried up. There were also an endless amount of yellowed plants.
There were also … hundreds of ferocious beasts that were hundreds of feet big. They had sharp blades on their backs and were floating in the air. These ferocious beasts were dressed in battle armor, and on their backs were tall and thin figures whose ears were on their shoulders.
There were thousands of similar figures around them. There were also a large number of black insects that were about ten feet big crawling on the ground. They had turned into a sea of insects that was swiftly spreading outwards.
Roars and booming sounds reverberated in all directions. The sea of insects was crashing into a mountain, and there were hundreds of people at the edge of it. Despair appeared on their faces, but they did not retreat. Instead, they continued fighting against the sea of insects.
There were also hundreds of people in midair who were exchanging divine abilities against the enemies in the sky.
Some of the elderly, the young, the sick, and the disabled could be seen at the mountainside. They looked at the world quietly, and their faces were filled with the will to die.
A loud bang reverberated in the area, and the sky looked as if it had been torn apart. Dijiu Mo Sha took a step forward, and black smoke filled his entire body. The black smoke that spread out turned into a gigantic and ferocious centipede behind him. As its body twisted, it opened its mouth wide at the sea of insects on the ground, and a large amount of black fog instantly gushed out.
As the poisonous fog gushed out, Dijiu Mo Sha's body immediately withered, but not a single hint of change could be detected on his face. However, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
His appearance attracted the attention of the people standing on the ferocious beasts in the distance. Compared to cultivators who would usually talk to each other before they fought, these alien races who lived in Divine Essence Star Ocean might have seen Dijiu Mo Sha and knew his identity, but they did not have any intention to speak. Only seven people flew out and charged towards Dijiu Mo Sha with murderous looks on their faces.
At the same time, the thousands of people in the sky lifted their hands at the same time. As they formed seals, an innumerable amount of black beetles in the sea of insects on the ground went berserk. Their bodies shone with a purple hue, and they charged forward without caring about the corrosive effects of the poisonous fog.
This scene was reflected in Su Ming's pupils. He moved forward and swiftly closed in on them. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
