This was Su Ming's plan. He wanted to first fight against the Master of Fate and measure his own combat abilities. He wanted to find his direction, and he wanted to find his breakthrough point in challenging the powerful warriors.
After that, he would make the first request to the Sand Earthlings. If he could kill them, then he would kill them, and if he could not, then he would trap them so that Su Ming could have a month's time.
In truth, Su Ming could have made his first request to the Sand Earthlings and have the Sand Earthlings destroy Heaven Traversers, but after thinking about it, he did not do it.
If the Sand Earthlings attacked, then forget about the fact that Heaven Traversers' Masters of Fate would hold him back once they appeared, what awaited Su Ming would still be the same.
More importantly, Su Ming wanted an eye for an eye. He did not want to just kill them. He wanted the entire Heaven Traversers to pay the price for chasing down Tian Xie Zi in the past. He wanted them to die while they fled.
Perhaps from Heaven Traversers' perspective, Su Ming's actions were unpardonable and heinous. He would be condemned by the world, and he was also cold-blooded and cruel. After all, the people who had chased down Tian Xie Zi in the past were the powerful warriors of Heaven Traversers, not their own people.
However, Su Ming still did it. It did not matter whether it was the powerful warriors or their own race, they were all Heaven Traversers. In Su Ming's eyes, there was no good or evil. He only believed that he should do this, and then he would continue doing it, even if his actions were illogical to others, filled with malice and were temperamental.
Yet Su Ming still wanted to do it. This was his stubbornness, and this was his way of thinking.
He was reasonable, but he was the one who set these reasons. He was also a man of principles, but he was also the one who set these principles. The core of all his reasons and principles … was not to provoke him, not to provoke his friends, not to provoke his family, and not to provoke his Master.
The price for doing so … was the destruction of his entire race!
Booming sounds echoed in the galaxy. They were the howls mixed with Heaven Traversers' Progenitor's enraged roars. He was surrounded by an endless amount of sand at that moment, making him look as if he was being hugged by the huge sand person in the galaxy.
More sand appeared around Heaven Traversers' Progenitor. After a moment, the sand turned into a huge planet, and the core of that planet was Heaven Traversers' Progenitor.
Muffled booms came from the sand planet, but as it grew larger, the sounds were gradually drowned out. The Sand Spirit's body shrank, and eventually, a gigantic planet appeared before Su Ming. On it was an ancient old man sitting cross-legged.
The old man's appearance was that of the Sand Earthling. He sat cross-legged on the ground as if he was guarding it, suppressing the trapped Heaven Traversers' Progenitor.
The old man who was the Sand Spirit lifted his head to look at Su Ming in the galaxy and said flatly, "I'm already in my weakened state. My power is becoming weaker every day. I can only help you trap this person for a month …"
His voice contained a sense of decay, as if his aura was slowly decaying. An ancient feeling, along with a thick aura of death, surrounded him.
"One month is enough." Su Ming lowered his head to look at his body. At that moment, he was heavily injured, but he could accept it, because the benefits brought to him by those injuries were more than worth it.
He could sense that his soul was going through a metamorphosis. He could sense that his Ecang clone had come to understand many things after this battle, and his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole seemed to have come into contact with a power that only those in Mastery Realm could sense in the world.
His cultivation base clone had also gained an epiphany after this battle.
More importantly, Su Ming no longer feared those in Mastery Realm. To him, this was incredibly important, because in the depths of his heart, he could never forget how he had fled from the forces of power from the four Great True Worlds keeping a lookout over the barren lands. That Almighty in Mastery Realm had given him a feeling of strength and difficulty in fighting against him that was buried deep in his heart.
This feeling was like a seed that existed in Su Ming's heart. One day, it would sprout, and at that time, Su Ming's level of cultivation would also regress due to this shackle.
Yet now, as the battle ended, this influence was wiped off from Su Ming's heart!
Su Ming turned around and charged into the galaxy in the distance. He did not go to Heaven Traversers, but to the galaxy beyond it. He was so quick that he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
After a moment, as Su Ming charged through the galaxy, he lifted his right hand and swung his arm. Immediately, the totem of the Duke of Crimson Flame on his arm disappeared. The Duke of Crimson Flame manifested in front of Su Ming and bowed respectfully towards him.
"Protect me during this period of time. Carry out the plan I told you about previously," Su Ming said flatly. The Duke of Crimson Flame hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and voiced his obedience.
Then, Su Ming patted his storage bag with his right hand. Immediately, two long arcs, one yellow and one black, flew out and turned into the bald crane and the Abyss Dragon before him. These two creatures had been locked up in Su Ming's storage bag for many years, and this could be considered as Su Ming's punishment for their actions in Black Ink Planet.
Once they appeared, the bald crane immediately lifted its head and screeched shrilly. As it screeched, it looked as if it was crying.
"Heavens, this damn guy has locked me up for a total of twelve years, seven months, and twenty-one days! I haven't seen any crystals for twelve years, seven months, and twenty-one days! I've sinned! Heavens, don't punish me like this! Next time, lock me up in a crystal … I swear, I swear that I will cut ties with Su Ming, I swear it!" Once the bald crane finished screaming, it glared at Su Ming fiercely. Its face was filled with great bitterness and hatred as it gnashed its teeth.
"Su Ming, I, the great and handsome Grandpa Crane with a bulging bag, will now part ways with you, and we will never be enemies! "Heh heh, let me tell you, no one can lock me up for twelve years, seven months, and twenty-one days, no —" The bald crane was roaring furiously, but before it could finish speaking, Su Ming said one sentence flatly, and it immediately felt as if he had seized the bald crane's neck, causing its voice to fall silent.
"The number of crystals an entire race has."
"What? What did you say? " The bald crane shuddered violently and immediately widened its eyes. A powerful light shone in them as it stared at Su Ming.
By the side, the Abyss Dragon sighed. As it shook its head, it felt that the bald crane was bound to be eaten by Su Ming. No matter how it thought about it, it still felt that it was smarter. At the very least, it did not really like crystals.
When it thought of this, the Abyss Dragon instinctively looked at its stomach. In it were the sparkling treasures it had hidden away over the years.
"Didn't you want to cut ties with me? Leave," Su Ming said flatly.
"Who said that? Damn it, which bastard said that? I, the bald crane, and the great and handsome Su Ming, who has great power are the best of brothers in the galaxy. Who wanted to drive a wedge between us? Was it you?" The bald crane glared fiercely at the Abyss Dragon, who was stunned by the side with an innocent look on his face.
"Didn't you say that we were going to part ways? You can leave now." Su Ming cast a sideways glance at the bald crane with an expressionless face.
"Damn it all! Just who was it?! If I know who is so diabolical, I'll definitely bite him to death! I'll bite his butt! "This is too hateful, too shameless! How could a kind-hearted crane like me say such heartless words?! Su Ming, we respect each other so much, we love each other so much … Ah, no, we're like this …
"No, there's definitely something wrong with this." The bald crane looked anxious. As it gritted its teeth, it turned its head around and glared at the Duke of Crimson Flame, looking as if it was about to pounce on him.
"It's you, you old coot! You're jealous of the beautiful relationship between me and my master, you …"
Su Ming frowned. The bald crane's words were becoming more and more outrageous, and he let out a cold harrumph.
The bald crane blinked, then immediately grabbed its bare body, looking as if it was too late for regrets. It stared at Su Ming pitifully.
"Oh handsome master, oh great master, oh evil master, this bald crane is wrong. It's all my fault, but there's nothing wrong with the crystals. Are you talking about crystals from a race just now?" Excitement appeared on the bald crane's face.
"Yes, it's not a normal race. It's one of the four venerated races in Divine Essence Star Ocean, and it has accumulated crystals for countless years," Su Ming said calmly.
When he said this, the bald crane became so excited that it almost fainted. It swiftly went forward and hugged Su Ming's leg while wailing.
"Master, this is such a big deal. Don't abandon me and do it on your own. I can count the crystals for you. I promise that I won't be greedy for even a single crystal. I can also help you search for crystals. My nose is very sensitive, and I'm also very fast. Think about it, I'm so fast that once I steal the crystals, I'll run, and no one will be able to catch up to me.
"Also, I can change. I can turn into a crystal, and no one will be able to tell."
"Do you really want to join?" Su Ming lowered his head and looked at the bald crane.
The bald crane quickly nodded and looked at Su Ming in excitement.
"I'll have to pay a price …" When Su Ming said these words, the bald crane was immediately stunned, and it loosened its grip on Su Ming's legs.
"But I can give you three-tenths of the crystals." Once Su Ming said these words, the bald crane immediately hugged Su Ming's legs and refused to let go.
"Six-tenths!" it said through gritted teeth. It was already prepared for Su Ming's counteroffer.
"Deal. You have to listen to everything I say." Su Ming nodded without any hesitation. The bald crane was momentarily stunned, and surprise and bewilderment suddenly rose in its heart, but before it could say anything, Su Ming lifted his right hand and patted his storage bag. As buzzing sounds reverberated in the air, the poisonous wasp containing the God Ascension Nectar flew out and stung the bald crane.
A thread of God Ascension Nectar instantly surged into the bald crane's body. Su Ming quickly lifted his hands and tapped a few spots on the bald crane's body. Immediately, a thick fragrance of God Ascension Nectar spread out from the bald crane's body.
That fragrance instantly spread in all directions, and the originally calm galaxy was suddenly filled with countless piercing roars.
At that moment, the thick fragrance of God Ascension Nectar on the bald crane's body had caused it … to become the source of madness for all the ferocious beasts in Divine Essence Star Ocean!
The Abyss Dragon had originally been watching by the side with the attitude of watching a show, but once it saw this, its body shuddered violently and it swiftly retreated.
The Duke of Crimson Flame's pupils shrank, and without any hesitation, he swiftly retreated.
The bald crane was momentarily stunned, then lowered its head to sniff its body before it immediately started screaming as if it had gone mad.
"God Ascension Nectar! Damn it, this … This is Divine Essence Star Ocean, there are countless ferocious beasts here, I … I …" As it screamed, it even forgot to call Su Ming 'Grandpa Crane', which it always used to call Su Ming.
"If you lure one hundred thousand ferocious beasts, I'll give you seven-tenths. If you lure three hundred thousand ferocious beasts, I'll give you eight-tenths. If you lure five hundred thousand ferocious beasts, I'll give you nine-tenths. If you lure one million ferocious beasts … I'll give you one hundred!" Su Ming said flatly.
The bald crane instantly shuddered, then gritted its teeth. 'I'll do it!' (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
