The Hearers were a small tribe in the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean. There were nearly ten thousand people in this tribe, but there were only thousands of warriors among them.
If anyone did not know the distribution of the forces of power in Divine Essence Star Ocean, then perhaps they would think that the Hearers were a huge tribe the first time they saw them, but those who truly understood Divine Essence Star Ocean would know that there were plenty of such tribes in it.
They were like Dijiu Mo Sha's Ninth Tribe. Perhaps they had once been a huge tribe in Divine Essence Star Ocean, but as time shifted its gaze away from them, they gradually fell into decline until they could no longer survive in the inner parts of Divine Essence Star Ocean. They could only move to the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean.
Only in this place could they continue growing.
All tribes with a history would have complicated connections in Divine Essence Star Ocean. For example, even if the Hearers had lived in the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean for a long time, they still had close connections with the few big tribes in the inner parts of Divine Essence Star Ocean. With just one order from the big tribes, they could send out all the warriors in their tribe and the ferocious beasts they had reared for years to carry out this siege.
When Su Ming saw this, he turned into a long arc, and as he charged forward, the sound of air being sliced apart reverberated in the air, catching the attention of the Hearers in the sky, but almost at the instant they turned their heads around, they only saw a blood-red figure charging past them in the span of a breath.
It was an arrow!
It was an arrow that did not have any corporeal form, as if it was formed from nothingness. It looked like a blood-red shadow in the people's eyes because once it was shot out, it shot through a dozen something people's chests and dyed them red with blood.
The arrow shot through the thousands of Hearers in the sky and landed at the foot of the mountain. Its entire body was rotting in the poisonous fog, but it was still charging forward. It opened its mouth wide in an attempt to devour a member of the Ninth Tribe.
With a bang, the black beetle instantly crumbled. The impact that was stirred up tumbled backwards in all directions, stirring up the fog and forcing the member of the Ninth Tribe several hundreds of feet backwards. There were no living beings within a circular area of one hundred feet where the arrow had landed.
There were only … a dozen something dead insects whose bodies had been shattered by the impact.
There was also a tall figure dressed in sackcloth. He held a huge bow in his hand, and his long hair danced in the wind. He held a woman in his arms. She was very beautiful, and her eyes were closed, as if she was in deep sleep.
"Take care of her for me." Su Ming said flatly and let go of her. He sent the woman in his arms to the member of the Ninth Tribe who had just escaped death.
She was a member of the Ninth Tribe with a pale face who had been stunned by Su Ming's arrival. She was a woman, and the danger her tribe faced forced her to fight for her tribe. Almost instinctively, she took over the unconscious Xu Hui.
Su Ming's eyes were calm. The roars around him surged into the sky. To others, this battle was an incredibly magnificent sight. After all, this was a battle between thousands of people and a sea of tens of thousands of black beetles. However, to Su Ming, this sort of scene was simply insignificant. It did not matter whether it was the battle against the Immortal sects when he was in the land of Berserkers or the recent battle against the Waves of Tears.
He stood where he was, holding the Sand Spirit bow in his left hand. He lifted his right hand, and an arrow flew out. The arrow was still invisible, and as it sliced through the air, it landed on the ground in front of him. Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and the area of one hundred feet collapsed once again.
Without any hesitation, Su Ming fired arrow after arrow. In the end, when he used most of his power, every single arrow that flew out turned into death in an area of several thousands of feet when it landed on the ground.
For a period of time, booming sounds rang out nonstop in the battlefield. Su Ming leaped up from the ground and appeared at the top of the mountain behind him. When he stood there, he drew the bow with his right hand, and arrows charged towards the ground like rain.
His level of cultivation was high enough, and he also had a powerful physical body. This caused every single arrow Su Ming shot to be as if he had attacked with his full strength. It could be said that in Su Ming's hands, the damage that erupted from the bow was even greater than that of the person holding it.
His appearance and his arrows immediately stirred up an uproar among the Ninth Tribe and the Hearers. Excitement appeared on the faces of the members of the Ninth Tribe, and their fighting spirit was ignited once more. The strength of Su Ming's arrows was so great that he seemed to be able to control the entire land by himself, causing the sea of insects to continuously disintegrate when the arrows landed on the ground.
As the members of the Ninth Tribe in the sky executed their divine abilities, their spirits were lifted. They would occasionally look towards Su Ming, who was at the top of the mountain. The figure of a person with a bow was deeply branded into their minds.
In the eyes of the Hearers, Su Ming's appearance immediately threw the battle into chaos, causing the sea of insects on the ground to be unable to move forward. Murderous looks appeared on their faces, and they glared at Su Ming, who was at the top of the mountain. Powerful killing intent appeared in their eyes.
Dijiu Mo Sha roared. The centipede that had turned into behind him immediately left his body. Once it grew to be several thousands of feet big, it charged towards the thousands of Hearers.
With a calm expression, Su Ming fired another arrow. The ground rumbled, and a pit that was one thousand feet deep appeared. Then, he put down the bow.
If one looked down from the sky, they would be able to clearly see that in the direction of the sea of insects, about five thousand zhang away from the foot of the mountain, there was a deep pit. This deep pit surrounded the mountain, forming a line!
Besides the members of the Ninth Tribe, there was not a single black beetle within that line. As for the area beyond that line, there was a densely packed sea of insects, but not a single one of them took half a step into that line. They only roared and hissed angrily.
That line had been drawn by Su Ming with an arrow. His aloof, murderous aura lingered in it, along with a callous statement that no words were needed. As long as it was a life form with intelligence, they could sense it.
All those who stepped into that line would die.
It was not difficult for Su Ming to kill the sea of insects and even the entire Hearers Tribe. This was a tribe that did not have any cultivators in Lunar Kalpa Realm. Right then, the strongest person in this place was only in the later stage of World Plane Realm.
As for the other Hearers, their levels of cultivation ranged from those in Earth Cultivation Realm to those in the middle stage of World Plane Realm. A tribe like this could not pose even the slightest bit of threat to Su Ming.
He stood on the mountain and did not say a single word, but his existence and his arrow were more intimidating than any words. They could make the sea of insects on the ground not dare to take even half a step forward. This action brought about a rise in his aura, causing Su Ming to look down on them in all the people's eyes as he stood at the top of the mountain.
"ROAR!"
The old man in the later stage of World Plane Realm among the Hearers in the sky let out a low roar, and it turned into two waves of impact. One of them landed on the ground, causing the sea of insects on the ground to become even more violent. In fact, some of them could not withstand it and had the urge to cross the boundary.
The other part of the roars turned into a wave of sound that charged into the air in front of Su Ming. The hundreds of members of the Ninth Tribe also charged towards him.
At the same time, as the old man roared, the thousands of Hearers around him rushed out. They turned into thousands of long arcs that charged towards the mountain, straight towards the hundreds of members of the Ninth Tribe beyond the mountain.
As they rushed out, the sea of insects on the ground let out piercing screeches. The black beetles stepped into the line formed by the pit, intending to cross it.
It was especially so for the old Hearer whose level of cultivation was equivalent to those in the later stage of World Plane Realm. He kept staring at Su Ming, and killing intent shone in his eyes. He could tell that Su Ming was only in the middle stage of World Plane Realm, and he was certain that the bow was the reason why Su Ming could be so strong.
He believed that as long as he got close to Su Ming, then with his level of cultivation, he would immediately let this person know the consequences of going against the Hearers.
As he let out a cold harrumph, he took a step forward. When he lifted his right hand, a rattle drum the size of his palm appeared on his palm. That drum was white, and it was clear that it was made of bone. When it was shaken, thumping sounds reverberated in the air. That sound seemed to have a penetrating force that spread through the area and landed in all the people's ears. As it spread out, even though the sound of the drum was not too loud, even Su Ming could hear it.
Almost at the instant he heard it, the old Hearer laughed ferociously. He moved, and with the power of those in the later stage of World Plane Realm, he shifted!
This was something that was practically impossible, unless he was like Su Ming and had the soul of a powerful warrior in Lunar Kalpa Realm in his body. He could then use the Art of Shifting, or else it would be incredibly difficult for him to shift with the power of those in the later stage of World Plane Realm.
It was especially so when … the galaxy in this place could not be shifted at all. Su Ming had tried this before, but the old man's body had instantly disappeared!
Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever. Not a single hint of change could be detected on his face as he watched the sea of insects rush past the line he had drawn. As they spread out swiftly, they stirred up a presence that made it seem as if they wanted to push down the mountain where he was.
This time, Su Ming did not draw the bow. He lifted his right hand, lowered his head, and cast a few glances at it before he pushed his palm towards the ground.
With it, the world roared, and the ground started trembling furiously. A gigantic palm appeared in the sky and charged towards the ground. It was so quick that in the blink of an eye, it descended on the ground.
The ground tumbled, and booming sounds shook the sky and earth at that moment. The black beetles in the sea of insects let out cries of despair, and the swarm that had originally spread out immediately disintegrated. They fled madly in all directions.
It was also at that moment that the ripples behind Su Ming distorted. The old man who had disappeared previously took a step forward. With a ferocious smile on his face, he lifted his right hand, intending to strike Su Ming's back. His fingers were pitch black, and wisps of black smoke surrounded them to turn into the souls of black beetles. Just as they were about to touch Su Ming … he saw the palm that had appeared in the sky and the sea of insects on the ground crumble. This scene caused his pupils to shrink. His expression changed drastically, and shock along with disbelief appeared on his face.
"A … A Master of Fate, Lives, and Death … This is impossible!" The old man sucked in a sharp breath. In his shock, he could no longer care about injuring Su Ming. Instead, he swiftly retreated in shock, as if he could no longer even think about injuring Su Ming. The only thought in his mind was to leave this place as quickly as possible. (To be continued.
