When the golden chariot disappeared and the world returned to normal, the old man fell silent. After a long while, he sighed softly and lowered his head to look at the space beneath him.
He saw Su Ming, who had a contemplative expression on his face, and the screams of the three ferocious spirits beside him had become weaker. Their bodies, which were more than one hundred feet tall, had already withered to an unrecognizable state.
With a complicated look on his face, Old Ya Mu sighed.
"Oh well, I might be a patroller … but no matter what, the Abyss Builders' Progenitor is my best friend. Su Xuan Yi's growth is also terrifying, so there's no need for me to get involved in this …
"But even if I don't disturb the boy, it won't be easy for him to learn my Mountain Shifter." The old man let out a cold harrumph. When he saw that only Su Ming and the ferocious spirit with the white fur on his head were left in the mountain beneath him, he lifted his right hand and formed a seal. Just as he was about to change the seal on the mountain, his eyes suddenly focused, and he let out a soft gasp of surprise.
He saw Su Ming moving while he was in the mountain covered in fog. He was not heading towards the other circle of light … but towards the spot where the ferocious spirit with the white fur on its head was. He was charging towards it.
"Damn it, could it be that besides the Progenitor, all the other Abyss Builders have a grudge against the laws? That Abyss Builders' Progenitor was foolishly loyal his entire life, but his two direct descendants are each more domineering than the other.
"Su Xuan Yi is one thing, but you, boy, how dare you challenge the laws I set?!" The old man let out a soft harrumph. Just as he was about to change the laws with his right hand, he suddenly froze.
Because he heard Su Ming's words tumbling out of his mouth when he rushed out.
"This circle of light belongs to me."
Su Ming was surrounded by countless branches. They swayed and swiftly shrank. When all of them returned to Su Ming's body, a brilliant light shone in his eyes, and he rushed towards the ferocious spirit with the white fur on his head.
He had intentionally said those words, and his goal was self-evident.
The ferocious spirit who was originally standing in the circle of light saw Su Ming approaching and was about to take a step forward, but his footsteps came to a halt. A freezing glare appeared in his eyes, but he did not step out of the circle of light. Instead, he stood in it, lifted his right hand, formed a seal, and pushed it forward.
With it, a whirlwind immediately appeared out of nowhere in front of the ferocious spirit. It charged forward with a howl and grew larger with each passing moment. In an instant, it was one hundred something feet tall and swept up everything in all directions as it charged towards Su Ming.
At the instant the whirlwind closed in, Su Ming swung his right hand, and the Life Inequity Spear, which had pierced through a ferocious spirit in the distance and stabbed into a mountain rock, charged towards him. Once Su Ming held it in his hand, he rushed towards the incoming whirlwind without any hesitation.
With a bang, Su Ming rushed into the whirlwind. The Life Inequity Spear in his hand turned into a purplish black light that shot through the whirlwind and rushed out.
Su Ming's face was slightly pale, but it was instantly filled by the power of the flesh and blood essence spreading out from Ecang's true form. That power came from the three ferocious spirits Su Ming had devoured just then.
Almost the moment Su Ming broke through the whirlwind, the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur standing in the circle of light had a glint shine in his eyes. He lifted his right hand and swung it again. Immediately, nearly a hundred huge whirlwinds appeared around him. They surrounded the area with a howl, and in the blink of an eye, they grew to be several hundreds of feet tall. Faces manifested in them as well.
That face belonged to an old man. His face was pale, but there was an awe-inspiring presence about him. He existed in the nearly one hundred whirlwinds, and he charged towards Su Ming with them.
When he closed in, murmurs came from the mouths of the near one hundred faces. The voices fused together to form a buzzing sound. When it echoed in the area, anyone who listened to it for a prolonged period of time would feel as if the world was spinning, as if their Qi and blood were flowing in reverse and their souls were being torn apart.
Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt, and a strange light shone in his eyes. The shadow of a sun appeared in his left eye, and the shape of a moon appeared in his right eye. Once they replaced his pupils, they overlapped with each other and turned into starlight.
Illusion of Stars, Sun, and Moon!
At the instant this Art appeared, Su Ming formed a seal with his hands, and his body moved swiftly. Immediately, the pupils of the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur shrank, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. In his eyes, Su Ming had turned into hundreds of people, and they were charging towards him from all directions. He could not tell which one was the real one!
Perhaps all of them were real!
All of these changes were mainly dependent on whether the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur believed them. If he believed them, then all of them were fake, but if he believed them, then all of them could be real.
The profundity of this Art lay in his heart.
"An illusory Art that can turn the fake into the real within the real, what a thing." The ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur spoke for the first time. His voice was hoarse and ancient. When he spoke, he lifted his right hand and bent his waist to push down on the ground under his feet.
At the instant his right hand touched the ground, the near one hundred whirlwinds suddenly exploded at the same time, turning into a powerful wave of impact that swept towards the hundreds of Su Mings in his eyes.
At the same time, at the instant the old man pressed his right hand against the ground, the mountain trembled, and in his eyes, mountain rocks appeared on Su Ming's body!
Hundreds of mountain rocks appeared at the same time, as if they were suppressing him and trying to freeze Su Ming's body. The impact of the collapsing whirlwinds also appeared in the area, and because of it, an inescapable net was formed.
Booming sounds reverberated in all directions, but before the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur, the hundreds of Su Mings who had been suppressed moved at the same time, and what appeared around him were not just hundreds, but thousands of Su Mings.
"I see, so that's how it is." As the old man with the tuft of white fur spoke faintly, he swiftly closed his eyes. At the instant he did so, he swiftly sliced his right palm with his left hand, and a wound appeared on it. When blood flowed out, he flung his right hand, and the blood instantly spread out.
"Mountain Blood," the old man said calmly. The old man calmly spoke, and with a wave of his hand, the earth immediately turned red. The sky also turned crimson, and a bright red mountain of blood appeared in the world!
When the mountain descended from the sky and the ground turned red, it did not matter whether it was the mountain rocks, the collapsing whirlwinds, or the thousands of Su Mings, all of them turned red.
Only … one of the thousands of Su Mings not too far away from the old man with the tuft of white fur did not turn red!
"You're here." When the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur spoke flatly, he turned his head around and looked at Su Ming coldly.
Almost at the same time he looked over, the blood-red mountain in the sky shattered on its own and turned into countless mountain rocks that charged towards Su Ming. A large amount of red whirlwinds also appeared out of nowhere around Su Ming and closed in on him.
Booming sounds shook the sky and earth. Su Ming coughed up blood and staggered a few steps backwards. When he coughed up blood again, he lifted his head swiftly and stared at the indifferent looking ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur in the circle of light. He sucked in a deep breath.
It was not that his Illusion of Stars, Sun, and Moon had never been broken before, but in the past, it was only because they chose not to believe in it and simply chased it away, but in truth, the Art was still around.
Yet right then, this was the first time he met someone who had clearly seen through the Art but still chose to believe in it. However, once he found his true self, he would forcefully destroy everything he believed in.
Those who could do this were definitely people with incredible confidence, or else it would be very difficult for others to do so.
It was just like the dreams of mortals. If they died in their dreams and even they believed that they had died, most people would choose to return to dust, but there was a type of person who would still ferociously try to resurrect themselves from the dead even if they believed that they had died.
This was the power of willpower. Su Ming belonged to this type of person, and the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur in front of him was clearly this type of person as well.
A powerful enemy!
Su Ming stared at the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur. In truth, he had never underestimated this person. The situation at that moment was within his expectations.
The ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur also stared at him. At the instant their gazes met in midair, Su Ming suddenly spoke.
"Why is there a need for you to stand in the circle of light and become a game for others to watch time and time again?"
"Whether it is within or outside the circle of light, it is all a game. It is the same for me, and it is the same for you," the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur said calmly.
"I have the will to break this game, but you don't," Su Ming said again.
"Game? What is a game? The game in this place is in your eyes. You can see it, but how can you break the game you can't see and change it? "The ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur still had a calm expression.
"I can't see the game outside the circle of light, but I know that I can choose whether to walk out or not. It will not change because of the changes in the rules of others. As for the games I can't see, since I can't see them, then they don't exist, but you aren't." A barely noticeable glint shone in Su Ming's eyes. He took a step forward, and his words were firm.
When the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur heard this, he suddenly smiled.
"I know very well whether I am or not. If I want to walk out of this circle … I will. If I don't want to, it's useless for you to say anything."
When Su Ming heard the ferocious spirit's words, he also smiled. He moved, and when he rushed forward, he lifted his right hand and pointed at the sky.
"Dao Avenue Mountain!"
The world roared, and Dao Avenue Mountain manifested swiftly.
"Peace Arrives When the Elephant is Here!" As Su Ming spoke, a huge scale appeared in the air above him. Beside it was a white elephant that stood erect like a piece of jade.
Su Ming swung his arms, and all the power of Divine Essence in his body erupted from him. When it swiftly fused into Dao Avenue Mountain, the malicious spirit roared and shot out. It seized the scale, and the white elephant landed on the scale. The malicious spirit pointed at the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur in the circle of light.
"Malicious Spirit Weighs the Elephant!"
But that was not all, when Su Ming brought out the Divine Essence Treasure that allowed the malicious spirit to weigh the elephant, he lifted his right hand and pointed at the sky, then pushed his left hand against the ground.
"Between the past and the future is Destiny!"
Destiny's first transformation!
Su Ming wanted to use the power of the first transformation of Destiny to forcefully weigh the elephant. The mighty pressure and damage he would cause would be several times greater than in the past.
As the expression of the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur in the circle of light changed, a glint appeared in the eyes of Old Ya Mu in the fog above him.
"Chen Bai, win against this person, and I will grant you your freedom." Old Ya Mu's voice reverberated through the mountain beneath him. At the instant the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur heard it, his body shuddered, and a powerful presence that had never appeared before erupted from his body.
At the same time, the ferocious spirit with the tuft of white fur called Chen Bai lifted his foot … and walked out of the circle of light!
But at the instant he walked out of the circle, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he had remembered something. When he looked towards Su Ming, a complicated look appeared on his face.
"You, who won't change your will because of other people's changes in the rules, why did you walk out of the circle now? At the end of the day, you are still someone else's game. You will never have this so-called freedom.
"With just one sentence from someone else, you can make you give up on your will. In this state, your mind is no longer firm. Do you have the confidence to win against me?" Su Ming's eyes sparkled as he asked calmly.
If he wanted to destroy a powerful enemy, he would first destroy his will, then his beliefs, and finally his physical body. This was the strategy Su Ming had prepared beforehand.
He did not underestimate this person. On the contrary, he regarded him very highly. That was why he had said those words to make Chen Bai think that he wanted to snatch the circle he was in and make Old Ya Mu think the same. Then, with that, he would first crush Chen Bai's will.
