The sea of fire continued spreading outwards from the core of the inner part of Divine Essence Star Ocean. Soon, it filled the area between the inner and outer parts of Divine Essence Star Ocean. The scorching heat covered the entire galaxy, and wherever the sea of fire went, booming sounds would surge into the heavens.
This process would last for nearly a month. At that time, the sea of fire would spread to the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean and cover the entire place, causing the cultivators in Black Ink Planet to be able to clearly see the galaxy burning.
At that moment, Su Ming was not in the galaxy of Divine Essence Star Ocean. Through the Relocation spot in the vortex, he had already stepped into one of the most mysterious places in Divine Essence Star Ocean … the world in the vortex!
No one knew where the world in the vortex led to. The darkness below seemed to have no end, and if anyone dared to open their eyes to look, they would be unable to help but have a feeling that once they fell, they would forever be immersed in darkness.
Even Su Ming, even if he had looked at the darkness below the world in the vortex multiple times, would still have this feeling.
No one knew how many years had been buried in that darkness, how many secrets had been buried there, and it had also buried the bodies and souls of all those who had wanted to lift the veil of darkness.
The endless darkness below formed a stark contrast to the numerous jellyfish-like colors around Su Ming. Su Ming fell silent. In the semi-transparent tunnel connected to the two vortex spots, his body floated forward against his will.
Su Ming knew that the sea of fire surged into the sky outside, and the fifth kiln had already been activated. Whether he could obtain the fifth stone and head to the Fifth True World depended on whether he could enter the fifth kiln.
Even though there was a high possibility that Su Ming was the new master of the fifth kiln based on Dust Burners' Progenitor's words … the prerequisite was that Su Ming was Su Xuan Yi and his wife's son.
This was something Su Ming did not want to think about.
He looked at the semi-transparent tunnel beside him. At that moment, Xuan Shang and his group were incredibly shocked. In fact, Xuan Shang was already hesitating as to whether he should forcefully break the fusion between the supreme treasures.
Yet at the instant this thought appeared in his head, Su Ming took a swift step forward. He did not move forward along the tunnel … but with one step, his body crashed into the tunnel's barrier. He lifted his arms, and as if he was grabbing the barrier, he tore it to the sides.
With a bang, the barrier was instantly torn apart. Once Su Ming tore it open, he took a step forward and walked out of the semi-transparent tunnel.
"If you want to break the fusion between the supreme treasures, you can do so at any time." With Su Ming's experiences, there was no way he would not be able to tell that there was a huge hidden danger in the supreme treasure, and that danger was in Xuan Shang's hands. This person might not be able to become the main soul and control the body of the supreme treasure, but he could make it break down so that everyone could walk out.
Xuan Shang had originally planned to do so as well. He had hesitated because he was worried that he would anger Su Ming, but if they were faced with life-threatening danger, he would naturally fight with everything he had. Yet now … Su Ming had moved too quickly. Once he walked out of the semi-transparent barrier and the barrier fused back together, it was the same as Su Ming bringing all of them away from the tunnel's guidance and protection. They were now completely in the world in the vortex.
If he broke down the supreme treasures at that moment, then what awaited him would be an even more dangerous situation. In anguish, Xuan Shang sighed in his heart and no longer spoke. He knew that Su Ming was not a fool and would not seek death for no reason. If he did not have some confidence in himself, he would not have done such a thing.
Xu Hui remained quiet. She would support all of Su Ming's actions. As for the bald crane, once it stepped into the world in the vortex once again, its expression became dazed.
When Su Ming walked out of the tunnel in the vortex, he immediately lifted his head and let out a long roar that shook the entire world in the vortex. As he did so, the colorful jellyfish-like glowing creatures in the area instantly retreated. At the same time, a muffled roar came from a spot that was rather far away from the place.
Su Ming stood there and stirred up Ecang's presence. That presence immediately spread into the body formed by the supreme treasure, causing the combat power that erupted from the body to rise once again. At the same time, Su Ming summoned the projection of his Ecang clone.
When the projection descended, an incomparably huge tree appeared in the world in the vortex with a flash. However, the body Su Ming controlled exuded a combat power that was infinitesimally close to the peak of Solar Kalpa Realm.
At the same time, the tunnel opened with the projection as the path and the soul as the guide was swiftly forming. Once it was formed, Su Ming's Ecang clone would descend once again.
At that time, he could … fight against an Almighty in Mastery Realm!
Time passed. Roars came nonstop from the darkness in the distance. Based on the sounds, Su Ming could tell that the Resentful Wei was closing in at an indescribable speed.
Vaguely, Su Ming could see six balls of fire shining in the darkness ahead of him. They were the Resentful Wei's six eyes!
"Come, you … are mine!"
…..
Days passed. When the fifth kiln's crimson flames erupted for four days, the region between the inner and outer parts of Divine Essence Star Ocean was completely submerged.
Countless living beings let out shrill screams of pain in the sea of fire. Their bodies were reduced to ashes. Cultivation planets struggled in the sea of fire, and all the plants on them perished.
There were also continents that slowly shrank in the sea of fire. Crystals started appearing at their edges.
Even some of the living beings who loved fire by nature shuddered when the sea of fire spread through them. They did not dare to touch it too much and could only hide.
The sea of fire continued spreading. On the seventh day, it finally spread to the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean and … completely enveloped the entire Divine Essence Star Ocean.
It caused the burning of Divine Essence Star Ocean to turn into a disaster in this place.
The continent where the Ninth Tribe was located was empty at that moment. The sea of fire swept through the sky, burned the ground, crushed mountains, and melted all living beings. At the core of the continent was a karst cave. At that moment, all the members of the Ninth Tribe were hiding there. In fear, they waited quietly for the sea of fire to disappear.
Dijiu Mo Sha sat at the mouth of the tunnel that was closest to the surface. From there, he could sense the intense heat and the booming sounds outside. There was nervousness on his face, but he was also thinking about whether the activation of the fifth kiln … was related to Su Ming.
The nine old Frail Darknesses and the others had already stepped onto the battleships under the catwoman's warning and left Divine Essence Star Ocean at the fastest speed possible. At that moment, their battleships floated in the galaxy between Divine Essence Star Ocean and Black Ink Planet. They stared at the galaxy in the distance and saw a shock they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
There was anxiety on their faces, because … their young master was still in Divine Essence Star Ocean.
However, while the nine old Frail Darknesses could fight against the heat of the flames, searching for a person who had gone to an unknown place in the vast galaxy was as difficult as searching for a needle in a haystack.
That was why they could only wait.
As they waited, the nine old Frail Darknesses and the cultivators on the warships saw a person who caused their pupils to shrink, and their hearts to tremble.
It was a slender middle-aged man dressed in a long purple robe. He stood calmly in the galaxy and stared at Divine Essence Star Ocean in the distance. He looked incredibly normal, and there was nothing strange about him … but there was a ferocious beast that was tens of thousands of feet big crouching behind him.
That beast … was a dragon!
Its entire body was crimson red, and thick flames were spreading out from it. The temperature of the flames caused the galaxy around it to distort, as if it was rather difficult to bear with them. By the looks of it, it was even stronger than the crimson flames that covered the entire Divine Essence Star Ocean.
The mighty pressure coming from the dragon was even more astonishing. The nine old Frail Darknesses only looked at it from the distance, and they felt as if their hearts were being suppressed. This was a clear sign that the dragon's level of cultivation had surpassed great completion in World Plane Realm. If it was not in Lunar Kalpa Realm, then it was in Solar Kalpa Realm!
Even if they were very far away, the nine old Frail Darknesses could still sense their skin rapidly drying up and cracking. They could sense that their cultivation bases seemed to have become chaotic. Their hair turned yellow, and they were forced to move the warships far away.
However, even though the purple-robed man was very close to the crimson fire dragon, not a single change in his expression could be detected. Judging by the crimson dragon's actions, it was clear that it was incredibly respectful towards the man. In fact, there was even a faint hint of fear in it.
"Reverend Zi Long!" The expressions of the nine old Frail Darknesses changed. Once they exchanged glances, they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
"He should be Reverend Zi Long from the Fourth True World. The Fourth True World is incredibly mysterious. Even we don't have a lot of understanding towards it. We only know that the other three Great True Worlds will send people to the Fourth True World once in a while to deliver a large amount of resources …"
"We might not have met Reverend Zi Long before, but besides Reverend Zi Long from the forces of power from the Fourth True World keeping a lookout over the barren lands of Divine Essence Star Ocean, there is no one else who can wear purple robes, have a crimson dragon by his side, and be a Master of Fate, Lives, and Death."
"The fifth kiln, huh..? I didn't expect that the activation of the fifth kiln would actually attract Reverend Zi Long!" As the nine old Frail Darknesses were transmitting their thoughts to each other, their expressions suddenly changed again, and they looked towards the galaxy behind them.
At that moment, violent booming sounds were surging towards them from the galaxy behind them. Those sounds shook the entire area, and all those who heard them could not help but feel their hearts tremble violently.
Those tremors could even cause a change in their cultivation bases, causing the nine old Frail Darknesses to be unable to control their bodies. All of them had their strongest cultivation bases erupt from their bodies, as if only by doing so could they prevent their cultivation bases from spilling out of their bodies.
As for the fearless warriors and the catwoman, their faces turned pale as their expressions changed. They immediately sat down cross-legged and resisted the power with great difficulty.
The booming sounds grew closer, and they could vaguely see a gigantic centipede charging towards them in the form of a long arc at an incredible speed. That centipede was entirely purplish black and looked incredibly ferocious. There was … not a single human figure on it. It was a ferocious beast on its own.
It was incredibly fast, and in an instant, it closed in on them. Waves of mighty pressure spread out through the area, causing the crimson dragon beside the purple-robed man to roar continuously.
"It's been a long time, Zi Long. Looks like we're the only ones who didn't go into isolation this time." A hoarse voice that sounded like metal scraping against each other echoed in the area.
