The chaos in Heaven Traversers lasted for nearly half a month before the swarm of beasts slowly dispersed. Without Heaven Traversers' Progenitor around, Heaven Traversers would not be able to fight against this swarm of one million beasts. Any form of resistance would be instantly crushed, and the entire race could only migrate in the face of the beasts' brutality.
It was just like when Tian Xie Zi was chased down by the four venerated races in the past. As they continued fleeing, they searched for a way to survive.
However, there was also a difference. The migrating Heaven Traversers were caught between despair and hope. They were in despair over their current fate, and they hoped that their Progenitor would appear.
During that half a month, four-tenths of Heaven Traversers had died in the swarm of beasts. The deaths of tens of thousands of people turned into a thick stench of blood that filled the path in the galaxy where they migrated.
This was an incredibly heavy blow to the entire Heaven Traversers. In fact, there was a high possibility that they would not be able to return to the galaxy that originally belonged to them, because while it was occupied by the swarm of beasts, it had also turned into their own territories.
It was just like how one of Heaven Traversers' Progenitors had snatched this galaxy from the beast swarm that originally occupied it countless years ago. Now, it had been snatched away by the beast swarm.
Besides, they did not dare return to their original homeland, because the deaths of Heaven Traversers and many powerful warriors had caused the balance between Heaven Traversers and the other three venerated races to fall.
The beast swarm that shook the inner parts of Divine Essence Star Ocean might not spread to the tribes in the periphery of the galaxy, but the other three venerated races in the inner parts of the galaxy would definitely learn of it after some time.
These were four races that had worked together, but also had a grudge against each other for generations. That was why once the balance was lost, what awaited Heaven Traversers would be an even more tragic end.
That was why their migration also meant that Heaven Traversers would disappear without a trace for a period of time. They would search for a remote place to cultivate and recuperate, and when they gathered together the power to rise to power once more, they would stage a comeback.
As for their original home, while there were plenty of ferocious beasts in it and they had occupied it, the bald crane's abilities and obsession with crystals allowed it to sweep through the one hundred something cultivation planets like a gust of wind during the past half a month. It took away all the crystals it could get its hands on in excitement.
When it returned to Su Ming's side with the Abyss Dragon, it was still practically dancing with joy. It was so excited that its body was trembling nonstop.
"I'm rich! Darn it all, I'm rich! Three crystals! There are actually three crystals in the entire Heaven Traversers!" As the bald crane spoke excitedly, it cast a glance at Su Ming.
The Abyss Dragon was originally very excited by the side, but when it heard the bald crane's words, it was momentarily stunned. It clearly remembered that there should be tens of millions of crystals, but immediately after, it saw the bald crane casting a glance at it.
Su Ming ignored the bald crane. He knew that it was worried that he would ask for crystals, which was why it had asked for three. This amount would make anyone else speechless, and they would think that the bald crane's stinginess had already reached a state where it could make anyone's hair stand on end.
However, Su Ming, who understood the bald crane, knew that it had struggled for a long period of time to say that it had three crystals, since the bald crane would be considered to have lost it if it did not pick up any crystals when it went out. It had already used up a lot of willpower before it could say that it had three crystals.
Su Ming stared at Heaven Traversers' galaxy of the past with a calm expression on his face. He did not have a heart that bemoaned the state of the universe or took pity on others. There was only so much tenderness in his heart, and it was impossible for him to share it with all the living.
"Let's go." Su Ming stood up and cast a glance at the old Sand Spirit sitting on the ground. The old man also lifted his head to look at Su Ming. At the instant their gazes met, the old man's body disappeared and turned into nothingness. However, a voice that echoed in Su Ming's heart echoed in the air.
"You still have two more chances for me to attack. Do not forget our promise. My name is in the ballad."
Su Ming nodded. He swung his arm, and the Rune he had Branded on his body since a long time ago was activated. Once it was activated, a layer of ripples spread out from under Su Ming's feet. They covered the bald crane and the Abyss Dragon, and in the blink of an eye, when the Rune's light reached a piercing degree, Su Ming disappeared. Even the bald crane and the Abyss Dragon disappeared from the ball of sand.
About ten breaths had passed since Su Ming disappeared when violent booming sounds came from within the sand ball. As they reverberated in space, cracking sounds could also be heard. Cracks swiftly appeared on the sand ball, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the surface of the sand ball like a spider's web.
A loud bang shot into the air, and the huge ball of sand was swiftly torn to pieces. Heaven Traversers' Progenitor's figure appeared in the crumbling ball of sand.
His expression was dark, and in his eyes was an extreme rage that he had been holding back for a long time. He stared at the galaxy where Heaven Traversers had once been and saw that there were now countless ferocious beasts there. He smelled the bloody stench of his people's deaths, and he fell silent.
After a moment, Heaven Traversers' Progenitor let out a long sigh. He did not search for Su Ming's traces, because he knew that he could not kill him. Instead, there was a high possibility that he would be trapped again. At that time, he believed that Su Ming would not be a soft-hearted person and would not be the kind of person who would feel guilty after killing too many people.
Then, what awaited Heaven Traversers would truly be the destruction of their race.
If anyone else had come to threaten him, he would not have believed them, and he would not have let the matter rest either. However, Su Ming had hunted down his Master once in the past, and this person had already killed a third of his race a thousand years later. This sort of person and this sort of cruelty caused Heaven Traversers' Progenitor to absolutely not underestimate Su Ming's threat.
'Based on my guesses, the Sand Spirit should have made some sort of agreement with this person and will not attack too many times … but if he attacks again, then even if I can kill him in the future … all my people will die. It's just as he said. At that time, I will be the only one left in Heaven Traversers.
'He is ruthless and merciless. If he can do something like exterminating our race … he can bear the price, but I … cannot.' Heaven Traversers' Progenitor fell silent. With his level of cultivation and his status, he had practically never experienced the feeling of being threatened. At that moment, he felt incredibly complicated. After a long while, he sighed in his heart and walked in the direction where his people had migrated.
'He doesn't have a Dao heart. I'll wait for the day he rots!' Heaven Traversers' Progenitor left into the distance.
In the inner part of Divine Essence Star Ocean was a quiet galaxy. There was a gigantic meteor floating in the galaxy. It was originally the nest of some ferocious beasts, but half a month ago, a woman had come to this place. With her power of Lunar Kalpa Realm, she killed all the ferocious beasts and became the meteor's master.
Once Xu Hui laid out a Rune according to Su Ming's requirements, she sat down cross-legged and quietly counted the time.
This place was incredibly far away from Heaven Traversers. The rampage in the sea of beasts could not affect this place, which was why the galaxy looked calm.
There was a gigantic Void Beast hidden in the space beyond the meteor. That beast looked like a crocodile, and it had its eyes closed and did not move. However, if it sensed any dangerous presence, it would immediately open its eyes. It was a ferocious beast that Xu Hui had subdued with Su Ming's help while they were on their way to the inner part of Divine Essence Star Ocean.
Xu Hui had been waiting there for half a month. Based on the promise Su Ming made with her, if he did not return after a month, then she was to stop waiting and immediately go back to gather with the nine old Frail Darknesses.
However, Xu Hui had her own determination. If Su Ming did not return after a month, then she would not choose to go back. Instead, she would search for him.
She stared at the Relocation Rune in front of her for half a month. On this day, light suddenly erupted from the Relocation Rune in her eyes. At the instant it appeared, Xu Hui's eyes focused. She might have looked calm, but in her heart, she was slightly nervous.
When she stood up, the light from the Relocation Rune was already piercing to the eyes. The Void Beast beside the meteor was also staring at it. When the light reached its strongest point, it instantly disappeared, and Su Ming appeared in the Relocation Rune. By his side were the bald crane and the Abyss Dragon, who had turned into two mutts.
As for the Duke of Crimson Flame, he had already turned into a totem and was branded on Su Ming's arm.
Xu Hui looked at Su Ming, and a smile appeared on her face.
Su Ming also saw Xu Hui and walked to her side.
"Did everything go smoothly?"
"Yes."
"That's good." Xu Hui did not ask for the details. Instead, her gaze fell on the bald crane and the Abyss Dragon. She stared at the bald crane, and the bald crane stared back at her with an incredibly arrogant and provocative look.
As for the Abyss Dragon, when it saw Xu Hui, it was momentarily stunned, and a powerful wave of indignation instantly rose in its heart. It cursed Su Ming in its heart for always having beautiful women by his side, and it could not help but regard him with hostility.
No matter what, it had to monitor all the members of the opposite sex around Su Ming for its young master.
Xu Hui chuckled softly in the face of the bald crane's provocative gaze. She was not bothered by it. Instead, she was slightly interested in the Abyss Dragon's hostile gaze.
"It's not yours, right?" Xu Hui was a mature and charming woman. Her calmness and wisdom were things that none of the women Su Ming had met possessed.
Su Ming nodded.
"Let me guess. It's a girl's pet, and for some reason, it came to your side …" As Xu Hui spoke, a strange light shone in her eyes. When she looked at the Abyss Dragon, it immediately felt as if its changes had been seen through.
"It's an Abyss Dragon … I remember now. One thousand years ago, I heard that the Emperor of Abyss' True World sent an Abyss Dragon to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence to be exiled and imprisoned. Could it be you?" Xu Hui's calm gaze immediately caused the Abyss Dragon to instinctively take a few steps back. It had a strong feeling that the woman before it was its young master's great enemy!
"The Abyss Dragons have an incredibly unique status in the Emperor of Abyss' True World. Unless they committed a grave crime, it would be impossible for them to be sent here. I remember that there was a rumor in the Emperor of Abyss' True World that the third prince of the Emperor of Abyss' True World got married in the past. The bride was a woman from the strongest ancient family in the Emperor of Abyss' True World, but she ran away … If she could escape from the Emperor of Abyss' True World, she would need a World Traversing Abyss Dragon.
"One thousand years ago, this woman was found and brought to the Emperor of Abyss' True World. It was also at that time that you were sent here." Xu Hui looked at the Abyss Dragon with a smile.
"Your master's name is Yu Xuan, right?" [If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.]
