Zhu You Cai stared at the long spear that sounded like a woman's cries reverberating in all directions. With an incredible speed, it sliced through the air and closed in on him. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of him.
Zhu You Cai was silent. His body stopped in midair. At the instant the spear closed in on him, he lifted his right hand and formed a seal. That seal appeared on his hand in a very jerky manner, but it gave off an incredibly familiar feeling.
These two feelings that should not have appeared at the same time intersected with each other on Zhu You Cai's lifted right hand. At the instant it disappeared, the shrill whistle from the Life Death Spear came to an abrupt halt.
It … appeared in Zhu You Cai's hand. Once he lifted his right hand and seized it, he flung it in front of him. Immediately, whistling sounds rose again, stirring up the sound of air being sliced. The shrill whistle became even stronger and reverberated in the air.
This scene caused the approaching supreme treasure to come to an abrupt halt in midair. Disbelief appeared on its face. By Su Ming's side, Flame Fiends' Progenitor also widened his eyes. He had known Zhu You Cai for thousands of years, but this was the first time he saw such a presence from him!
That aura came from the moment Zhu You Cai held the Reincarnation Spear in his hand. A will that looked down upon the entire world erupted from his body. It was as if Zhu You Cai had become a completely different person at that moment, a person who could ignore his ugly body and his gigantic fleshly body. All that could be seen … was the shocking sharpness of the spear as he held it in his hand.
It was especially so for Su Ming. As he stared at Zhu You Cai, the shock in his heart could not be described with words. He clearly remembered the seal Zhu You Cai had formed just now. It was this seal that had snatched the long spear out of thin air. In fact, the spear had not even put up a single bit of resistance. In fact … Su Ming had even seen the spear trembling when Zhu You Cai held it. It was not trembling in fear, but in delight!
Su Ming did not know whether this delight was just a figment of his imagination, but he felt as if he had finally reunited with the spear after a long time.
As a myriad of thoughts raced through Su Ming's head, Zhu You Cai lowered his head and stared at the long spear in his hand quietly. A complicated and anguished look appeared in his eyes. After a long while, he averted his gaze and lifted his head to look at Su Ming.
"This is … yours?"
Su Ming stared at Zhu You Cai and nodded slowly. Only at this moment did he realize that this Zhu You Cai, who was originally the weakest among the old ghosts, clearly had his own secrets. He definitely did not possess the level of cultivation that he showed off to others.
Su Ming remembered the half of the skeleton when he discovered the purplish-black long spear … and the Fire Spirit had mentioned that the skeleton's soul … was still around.
"This spear's name is Rebirth. That's what it used to be called. It has another name … It's also called Life in Vain. However, this Vain, not Rebirth … Do you understand?"
Su Ming frowned. He did not speak, but Xuan Shang, who was in the body of the supreme treasure, was momentarily stunned. If he read Zhu You Cai's words in the form of words, he would understand them at first glance, but if he listened to them … he did not understand Zhu You Cai's words. He was not the only one. The others were also at a loss. Only Progenitor Long Hai looked as if he was deep in thought.
The eyes of Flame Fiends' Progenitor focused, and he sank into deep thought.
"If you don't understand, then … it's fine if you don't want this spear." Zhu You Cai sighed softly and lowered his head to look at the spear in his hand again. A hint of grief and guilt appeared in his eyes.
At the instant Su Ming saw the grief and guilt in Zhu You Cai's eyes, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He remembered the first time he held the spear, and the scenes that had appeared in his head.
"You held your partner's corpse in your arms, and you mourned for your own failure to become a ruler. So what if you reached the Great Realm of Life? You just lived in vain," Su Ming said calmly.
The instant his words fell into Zhu You Cai's ears, he lifted his head swiftly and looked at Su Ming. After a long, long while, he suddenly let out a long string of laughter. At that moment, as he laughed, the presence spreading out from his body formed a strong contrast against his ugly and plump body.
As he laughed, he hid the grief that no one else could see. Zhu You Cai lifted his right hand and swung his arm. Immediately, the Life Inequity Spear turned into a purplish-black light that charged towards Su Ming. It instantly appeared in front of him and floated there without moving, but there was a buzzing sound spreading out. When he heard it, Su Ming seemed to have understood something.
"This spear is yours!" Zhu You Cai laughed loudly. When he turned around, he took a step forward and did not even cast a glance at the three-headed statue that had appeared in the vortex at the bottom of the sea. It was as if even if it was a supreme treasure, it could not enter his eyes. He left into the distance.
"Do not touch the statue of the Sea God until you have perfected Fate Realm. If you do, you will bring about a great disaster. Take care."
Zhu You Cai walked into the distance and stepped into the exit of the dimension. Then, he fused into the distortions in space and disappeared without a trace.
Su Ming watched Zhu You Cai leave into the distance. When he disappeared, understanding appeared on his face. He lifted his right hand and seized the long spear floating in front of him. He looked at it and swung his right arm. The Life Inequity Spear immediately disappeared and turned into a ring on Su Ming's thumb.
"Why aren't you coming over?" Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the body of the supreme treasure, which was hesitating at that moment.
The body of the supreme treasure was being controlled by Xuan Shang at that moment, and he was incredibly conflicted. He had finally become the main soul after much difficulty, but if Su Ming fused with him again, then he would immediately become a subsidiary. This caused him to be unable to help but hesitate.
"You don't want me to fuse with you?" When Su Ming asked flatly, he immediately sent his divine thought outwards. At the instant he did so, the body of the supreme treasure suddenly shone with a powerful light. As it shone, several overlapping shadows appeared on the body.
The first to appear was naturally Xu Hui!
Xu Hui tugged at a lock of her hair. When she took a step forward, she walked out of the body of the supreme treasure. With a single move, she appeared beside Su Ming. A smile appeared on her face as she stared at him.
"I still like this version of you," Xu Hui said with a light chuckle and a wink.
Then, a second overlapping shadow appeared on the body of the supreme treasure. It was the unconscious bald crane. It was still unconscious, but once it was separated from the body of the supreme treasure by Su Ming, it charged towards Su Ming. Su Ming swung his arm and put it away into his storage bag.
The third to appear was Progenitor Long Hai, who was also a Nascent Divinity like Flame Fiends' Progenitor. In a flash, he immediately left the body of the supreme treasure. When he appeared beside Su Ming, he looked at Flame Fiends' Progenitor.
"Long Hai!" The expression of Flame Fiends' Progenitor changed swiftly, and he instinctively took a few steps back. Naturally, he knew Long Hai. Forget about how the two of them knew each other in the past, just the fact that Flame Fiends' Progenitor had been tempted to devour Long Hai's physical body when they were at the one thousand feet tall sapling had made him want to devour it.
"Fellow Daoist Huo Kui, it's been a long time." Long Hai stared at Flame Fiends' Progenitor with the ghost of a smile on his lips. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Both of them were Nascent Divinities, but it was precisely because of this that they could easily devour each other.
Once Xu Hui, the bald crane, and Progenitor Long Hai left, the presence of the body of the supreme treasure swiftly diminished. At that moment, the combat power it showed was only equivalent to those in Solar Kalpa Realm. Even if Xuan Shang, Hua Yu, Yun You, Nian Yu, Nian Yu, and Hua Yu still had some tricks up their sleeves that they had not executed … but at most, they could only fight against those who had attained great completion in Solar Kalpa Realm.
Perhaps this sort of level of cultivation could allow them to do as they pleased in the world beyond, but in the fifth kiln, this sort of level of cultivation could not be said to be able to move an inch.
As for Su Ming, he could fight against a normal cultivator in Mastery Realm on his own. He also had Progenitor Long Hai, who could even borrow Flame Fiends' Progenitor's strength. Besides, he also had two chances to attack from Sand Earthlings' Progenitor. In fact, he also had the God Ascension Nectar and the three-leafed grass that could allow people to control the laws of fate. With all of these in hand, his strength was no different from before, and he did not care about what Huang Mei and Zi Long would think once they noticed it.
He did not even spare a glance at the body of the supreme treasure, whose expression had changed drastically at that moment. Su Ming turned around and walked towards the exit of the dimension. The people beside him immediately followed. When they turned into long arcs and left into the distance, Su Ming did not bother himself with the three-headed statue in the vortex at the bottom of the sea.
His instincts told him that he chose to believe in Zhu You Cai. Besides, the entire fifth kiln would definitely be his in the future. Unless he ran into some sort of treasure that he was incredibly desperate for, he would not be in a hurry to obtain it. This was something that made Su Ming different from the others.
When Xuan Shang and the other three saw Su Ming leaving into the distance, their faces instantly turned pale with panic. Xuan Shang was one of them. At that moment, he came to a swift realization. Su Ming did indeed need the body of the supreme treasure, but to the four of them, their need for Su Ming was even greater.
If it had been anyone else, they would have attacked a long time ago and killed the four of them to snatch it.
However, this was also because Su Ming did not think that there was a need for him to do so. If he truly believed that he had to obtain this supreme treasure, then even if this supreme treasure was created by the Sublime Paragon from True Sacred Yin World, and this Sublime Paragon was the Master of the Life Inequity Spear's owner, the red-robed teenager Su Ming saw in the picture, what could he do?!
"Senior, please wait!" Xuan Shang's heart was immediately filled with the other three's anxious complaints. At that moment, he quickly caught up to Su Ming.
"I know my wrongs. Senior, please forgive me. Senior, please give me another chance. I will definitely not harbor any other thoughts. I swear on the soul of Xuan Family's progenitor in heaven!" This was how smart Xuan Shang was. He did not try to defend himself or hide his hesitation just now.
Instead, he said it directly and lowered his stance to admit his wrongs. By doing so, he could avoid causing Su Ming to be displeased again because he tried to defend himself and hide his wrongs.
As he chased after Su Ming, Xuan Shang immediately spread out his soul, causing the body of the supreme treasure to instantly lose control of the main soul. Once it was free, Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt, and he turned his head around to look at the body of the supreme treasure that had lost its main soul.
"I will only do this once. There will not be a next time!" As he spoke, Su Ming moved. With a swing of his arm, he swept up Flame Fiends' Progenitor, who had come to understand what was going on a long time ago and was smiling wryly at that moment. Then, along with the group, he charged towards the body of the supreme treasure.
Once he fused with it, Su Ming became the main soul, and among the supporting souls was Flame Fiends' Progenitor!
This was also the reason why Su Ming did not kill Flame Fiends' Progenitor. In truth, he had another plan, but he had given up on it, and that was to have Flame Fiends' Progenitor Possess the white-robed teenager's body to cause a misunderstanding between Huang Mei and Zi Long, and from there, they would shift their attention to Flame Fiends' Progenitor.
However, once he thought about it carefully, he still gave up on this plan. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
