As Su Ming controlled the body of the supreme treasure, Xuan Shang and the others felt their hearts tremble in fear. They could vaguely sense a presence that suffocated them rising from Su Ming's body with a bang.
This presence caused them to feel as if their hearts were being suppressed incredibly. It was as if ten thousand mountains were pressing down on them, and it was difficult for them to even think at that instant.
This was not the first time they had felt this sort of feeling. In truth, when the sea of fire had erupted outside the fifth kiln and Su Ming had subdued the Resentful Wei in the world in the vortex, they had also felt the same thing.
However, the feeling they had then was far inferior to what they felt now. At that moment, the presence spreading out from Su Ming's body contained madness, domineeringness, unruliness, and endless malice. It caused Xuan Shang and the others' hearts to tremble, and even their souls were suppressed.
In fact, they had a feeling that they could not get rid of it. It was as if if Su Ming wanted to destroy them, they would not have a single shred of power to fight back and would be instantly devoured!
It was as if they were unable to fight back in the face of their mortal enemy. It was as if … they had turned into ants before Su Ming, and he had become the universe that devoured ants to live!
Xu Hui's feelings were slightly weaker compared to Xuan Shang and the others, but she was still shocked. What was different was that she did not feel fear in her heart, but a deep sense of submission.
Submitting to the strong would make it impossible for others to have even the slightest bit of will to fight back. This was how Xu Hui felt at that moment.
However, all of this could only be sensed by them while they were in the body of the supreme treasure. In truth, if there were anyone else in the world outside, they would see Su Ming standing in the air with his long hair dancing in the wind. The presence and mighty pressure spreading out from his body formed endless distortions around him. Those distortions spread through the entire world and filled the entire dimension.
However … when all of this landed in the one thousand feet tall tree's eyes, it was filled with a completely different and powerful shock, along with an unprecedented shock and disbelief.
In its eyes, there was a gigantic shadow in the endless distortions that filled Su Ming's body. That shadow was also in the shape of a tree, and it was filled with arrogance, arrogance, and madness as if it was the only supreme being in the world.
As for the evil that filled the entire space, what the 300-meter tall tree saw was an endless number of branches. It was also shocked that the entire world had been completely replaced by the huge tree.
All of this caused the 300-meter-tall tree to tremble violently. Waves of shock battered his mind, causing him to feel as if he were on the verge of a mental breakdown.
In his memories, he had always believed that he was the ancestor of all the trees in the universe. He firmly believed this, but deep in his heart, he knew that if there was a tree in the universe that could completely surpass him, an existence that he desired to become the most, then it would definitely be …
According to the legends, the true Tree Ancestor … was the only existence that could be called a sapling!!
"Ecang!" The 300-meter tree's voice echoed out in all directions. Its body swayed back and forth, and the leaves on its crown floated down as it stared in astonishment at the scene playing out in front of it.
"You puny sapling, how dare you call yourself the Tree Ancestor before me?!" Killing intent shone in Su Ming's eyes. He took a step forward, and when his foot landed, the world roared. His presence was like a tidal wave that pressed down on the tree.
It was just a simple step, but in the eyes of the one thousand feet tall tree, the gigantic tree that occupied the entire world, was roaring at it. That roar also brought with it an oppressive feeling that made its soul tremble, as well as terror.
"How dare you act with such impudence?" Su Ming took another step forward. When he lifted his right hand, he swiftly cut down on the tree. With it, the power of the Three Evils filled the area, and with it, the ground under the one thousand feet tall tree crumbled and turned into nothingness as it shuddered.
The ground was formed by the tree's laws of fate, and Su Ming's slash of the Three Evils could cut the fate of Heaven Traversers' Progenitor. It was the nemesis of all fates that were not his own, which was why when his palm fell, there was no way that the ground formed by the laws of fate of this tiny sapling would not crumble!
"How dare you not worship me?!" Su Ming took his third step forward. When the third slash of the Three Evils fell, the area around the one thousand feet tall tree instantly turned into nothingness. This was because Su Ming had cut off all the laws of fate of the tree, separating it from the space around it so that it could no longer circulate its power in Fate Realm.
With a bang, the one thousand feet tall tree shuddered. Almost all its leaves fell off, and as it shuddered, it looked as if it was about to explode. This was because its fate had been cut off, because it was being forcefully suppressed by Su Ming!
This was not a suppression of cultivation base, but a suppression of the soul and presence. This was a suppression that came from the state of being belonging to the tree!
If it was any other cultivator, then they would have to have a higher level of cultivation than the tree before they could use this method to suppress the tree. However, if they did not have a higher level of cultivation than the tree, then even if they were at the same level of cultivation, it would still be impossible for them to suppress the tree and make it tremble.
But Su Ming was different. He was not suppressing the tree's level of cultivation, but his Ecang clone's presence. He was suppressing his Ecang clone's state of being. It was a might that made all the trees in the universe tremble and obey him.
Compared to Su Ming's Ecang clone, the one thousand feet tall tree was just a tiny sapling!
As it trembled and Su Ming took three steps forward, the one thousand feet tall tree gave up on all resistance. It had to give up. The laws of fate around it had already been cut off, and the suppression on its soul caused it to be unable to struggle. The respect contained in its heart towards a legendary existence like Ecang made its heart feel as if it was about to shatter.
It had not expected that it would run into the true progenitor of the tree, the existence that it longed to become the most in its life … Ecang!
It was just like a cat who thought that it had become a tiger, but one day, when it truly ran into the tiger, it would lose all will to fight back due to the powerful tremors.
"I, the Tree Tarot, greet … Progenitor Ecang!" All the leaves on the one thousand feet tall tree had fallen off. Only the three-leafed grass remained floating at the top of the tree. At the same time it shone with a green light, the trunk of the one thousand feet tall tree twisted and tilted, and a red branch quickly crawled out of it. That branch spread out, and a red leaf quickly grew out of it. This could be said to be the highest form of worship for the Treants.
When the leaf fell, it meant that the Tree Folk had prostrated themselves before the tree, showing complete submission. The bending of the trunk symbolized supreme respect, and the red branch that stretched out was formed by the tree's soul. As for the red leaf that grew on the branch … it was the tree's soul!
It showed itself to Su Ming with its soul, and it even lifted the red leaf towards Su Ming. From the distance, if the tree was compared to a person, then this scene would be like a person kneeling respectfully before Su Ming. When the person lowered his head, he lifted his right hand with his palm facing upwards, as if it was a strange form of etiquette, but also as if he was waiting for something.
Su Ming's expression was calm. He could sense the one thousand feet tall tree submitting to him. This was the embodiment of it being suppressed by Ecang. When he got closer, the will of Su Ming's Ecang clone and the ancient memories that existed in Ecang's soul allowed him to immediately understand why the one thousand feet tall tree was waiting for him with such etiquette.
He lifted his right hand and placed it on the red leaf, then touched it gently.
At the instant they touched, Su Ming sensed the one thousand feet tall tree's soul, and the tree's soul also sensed the pure Ecang presence from Su Ming. It also sensed a ripple of power hidden under that presence that caused its expression to change drastically. It was this ripple that caused the one thousand feet tall tree to shudder again. It lifted its trunk swiftly, and when it looked at Su Ming, there was a great wave of fear in its eyes, along with a shock that surpassed what it had felt previously.
"You … You …" As the one thousand feet tall tree shuddered, its body swiftly distorted and started changing continuously in front of Su Ming. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a man who knelt down and worshiped Su Ming's feet. He lifted his hands and handed the three-leafed grass to Su Ming respectfully.
"I, Treant Ta Luo, have protected this treasure for ages, and I have waited for your arrival. I will obey the will of the previous master of the fifth kiln. Whatever you will, it will be the arrogance of our lives!"
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He stared coldly at the man who was the one thousand feet tall sapling.
"What did you notice?" he asked faintly.
"You are Progenitor Ecang, but you are also not Progenitor Ecang. You are … the master of the fifth kiln!" At the same time fear appeared on the man's face, there was also zealousness. His zealous gaze made it seem as if with just one sentence from Su Ming, he could make him go mad.
His words also caused a brilliant light to shine in Su Ming's eyes.
Even though he had been prepared for this since a long time ago, he still lifted his head in silence and stared at the air. The voice from Dust Burners' Progenitor echoed in his head.
Su Xuan Yi was the previous master of the fifth kiln. Only his cursed son had the right to become the new master of the fifth kiln.
Su Ming stared at the air quietly. After a long, long while, he let out a sigh in his heart, but soon, a focused glint appeared in his eyes. He carefully mulled over the man's words, and a fierce look instantly appeared in his eyes.
"You said just now that you have waited for my arrival?"
"It's not just me. All the living beings in the fifth kiln have been waiting for your arrival. They've been waiting for the scion of the previous master to come and become the new master of the fifth kiln." The man lifted his head and looked at Su Ming with a zealous gaze.
"Who told you that I would come?" Su Ming asked calmly, but within his calm voice was a thought that he had never thought of before. This thought caused his breathing to quicken, and he seemed to have come to an understanding of everything.
'When the old master returned to the kiln for the final time, he sent his will to all the existences in the kiln with fatigue … telling us to continue waiting. His son will descend into the fifth kiln many years later!'
A bang went off in Su Ming's head. His body trembled lightly, and his eyes shone brilliantly.
'He … didn't die …' The thought that caused Su Ming's breathing to quicken swiftly gathered together into these three words in the midst of the bang, and they echoed continuously in his head.
