Dust Burners were the only ones who remained silent among the four alien races. Heaven Traversers might have sensed the presence of the fifth stone, but their Progenitor only opened his eyes while he sat cross-legged before he closed them again. He did not snatch the fifth stone like he did in the past.
He knew that every single time the fifth stone appeared, the presence that did not fuse with the universe would sweep through the entire Divine Essence Star Ocean and cause countless ferocious beasts to fight over it.
Once they snatched the fifth stone, they could use it to head to the mysterious Fifth True World. The legends regarding the Fifth True World had been circulating in Divine Essence Star Ocean for a long time.
After all, the fifth kiln had flown out of the Fifth True World. Based on the supreme treasures in it, it could be seen just how alluring the mysterious Fifth True World was.
Besides … the Fifth True World had already become empty. It was an empty galaxy, and the serendipity that could be obtained there was incredibly great!
Even if they did not choose to go to the Fifth True World, as long as they had the fifth stone, they could make two choices. One of them was to hand it over to the guardian races of the fifth ocean, and they would use a high price to exchange for it.
The second choice … was to refine the fifth stone and fuse it into an Enchanted Treasure. With its power that did not fuse with the laws in it, they could create … a supreme treasure that could cut through laws. It was not that there were no such supreme treasures in Divine Essence Star Ocean, but most of them were inherited items from various races.
It was just like Heaven Traversers' third eye. When it was created in the past, it had been fused with the fifth stone!
These three temptations were enough to stir up a crazed fight for it and a disaster every single time the fifth stone appeared. It would be a bloodbath.
The ferocious beasts and races in the core of Divine Essence Star Ocean were not the only ones who sensed the fifth stone's appearance. During that instant, all the races and ferocious beasts in the inner and outer parts of the galaxy sensed the appearance of the stone.
In fact … some of the sleeping Ancestral Spirits opened their eyes under the stimulation of the presence. The booming sounds from all the regions in Divine Essence Star Ocean reached an incredibly intense level at that moment.
"The fifth stone …" The ground in one of the planets collapsed, and a gigantic hand rose from the depths of the ground. It clenched its fist, and a giant crawled out. That giant had two heads, and it threw its head back and roared at the same time.
"The fifth stone has appeared again …" A faint voice echoed in the air from a pile of dust and ruins in the galaxy. A strange, semi-transparent creature slowly manifested. When it looked into the distance, its body flickered and completely disappeared.
Scenes like this were playing out in various locations throughout the starry sky, and all of them were pointing toward … the fifth stone!
During that instant, Su Ming also noticed the ripples of power from the fifth stone that did not fuse with the world. A glint appeared in his eyes, and he understood why Tian Xie Zi had been chased down by the four great alien races because of the fifth stone. In fact, there were definitely other races and ferocious beasts who had chased after him as well.
'A stone like this …' Su Ming stared at the fifth stone. When it was in the kiln, it was inconspicuous, but when it was in the world outside, it was as dazzling as the sun, because it did not belong to this Expanse Cosmos. Because of that … while it was not tolerated by this Expanse Cosmos, it also became a sharp weapon that could fight against the laws of this Expanse Cosmos!
Such a fifth stone would definitely be coveted by everyone!
'It doesn't matter whether it's Heaven Traversers' Progenitor or Dust Burners, none of them told me the truth. As for Dijiu Mo Sha, with his level of cultivation, it's impossible for him to know much about the fifth stone.
'It's no wonder why this treasure would stir up a fight.' After remaining silent for a moment, Su Ming formed a seal with his right hand and pointed at the fifth stone, but the stone did not budge. It continued moving to Su Ming's side and shining with golden light. It could not be put away into his storage bag.
Su Ming frowned, and a fierce glare appeared in his eyes. He opened his mouth and sucked in a sharp breath in the direction of the fifth stone. The stone shuddered and swiftly flew into Su Ming's mouth. In an instant, he swallowed it, and golden light immediately spread out from his body. After some time, it slowly disappeared.
However, this was only a temporary suppression. It would not be long before the stone flew out again. Su Ming was able to do this because his soul was that of an Abyss Builder, and the Abyss Builders and the fifth stone both came from the Fifth True World.
If Su Ming's real physical body was around, he would be able to completely contain the fifth stone without revealing a single ripple of power, but as of then, he could not do this for long.
After remaining silent for a moment, Su Ming cast a glance at the fifth kiln, then pointed at it.
With it, booming sounds immediately came from within the kiln. It started trembling, and as it did so, a large amount of sea of fire spread out from within, causing the kiln to look as if it was burning.
Immediately after, several figures were swept away by the impact of the flames and pushed out of the kiln. Among them were Xuan Shang, Reverend Zi Long, Flame Fiends' Progenitor, and Progenitor Long Hai, whose body was no longer an illusion.
The last to appear was Zhu You Cai.
These people were the survivors. At that moment, as the fifth kiln trembled, they were forcefully expelled from the dimensions where they were. Once they left the fifth kiln, their expressions were different, and they looked towards Su Ming.
These people were already close to the edge of the first layer in the fifth kiln and had sent out a large amount of life force. Su Ming did not feel at ease if they continued staying there, which was why he decided to control the fifth kiln and chase all of them out.
Su Ming swept his gaze past the crowd before his gaze landed on Zhu You Cai. Zhu You Cai also looked at Su Ming. When their gazes met, Zhu You Cai's eyes lit up swiftly.
"Flame Fiend," Su Ming said faintly.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor's eyes sparkled. When he looked towards Su Ming, he took a few steps back. He might have left the fifth kiln, but he was incredibly weak at that moment. His wariness towards Su Ming did not decrease, but instead increased.
"I promised to give you this corpse. Now, take it." As Su Ming spoke, he patted his storage bag with his right hand. Immediately, the corpse of the white-robed teenager that was the centipede appeared in front of him. Su Ming flung it towards Flame Fiends' Progenitor.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor was momentarily stunned. After a moment of hesitation, he looked towards Su Ming.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. Not a single change could be detected.
In the midst of hesitation, Flame Fiends' Progenitor watched the corpse approach him. He could not guess Su Ming's thoughts and did not know whether there was some sort of trap waiting for him in the corpse, but if he gave up just like this, it would be incredibly difficult for him to find another corpse in Mastery Realm.
At that moment, Flame Fiends' Progenitor gritted his teeth and thought to himself that Su Ming should not kill him. Even if he had other intentions, he must have taken a fancy to Flame Fiends' Progenitor because of his level of cultivation. Hence, resolve appeared in his eyes. With one move, he charged towards the white-robed teenager's corpse. To him, the white-robed teenager's corpse was much stronger than his previous physical body. By the looks of it, not only had he not suffered any losses, he had even gained a serendipity.
But at the instant he closed in on the white-robed teenager's corpse, Reverend Zi Long took a step forward and instantly appeared beside the corpse. He lifted his right hand and swung his arm. Flame Fiends' Progenitor's expression changed swiftly, and he swiftly retreated.
"Fellow Daoist Zi Long, what is the meaning of this?!" Flame Fiends' Progenitor immediately screamed shrilly.
"This person is a guest of the four Great True Worlds. I will be bringing his corpse back," Reverend Zi Long said flatly. He did not look towards the Flame Fiends, but at Su Ming.
"That is my spoil of war." Su Ming frowned and looked at Reverend Zi Long before speaking flatly. Besides a few people from the four Great True Worlds, he did not have a single shred of goodwill towards the others. At that moment, as his words were aloof, his hair gradually turned gray.
"Oh? Then I would like to see whether your spoil of war will belong to you. " A brilliant light shone in Reverend Zi Long's eyes. He did not care whether he would bring the white-robed teenager's corpse back to the four Great True Worlds, and neither would he care about it. What he cared about was that this person had the blood of Ancient Wu coursing through his veins. If that was the case, if he refined his physical body and could gather up a hint of Ancient Wu's blood, then his trip to the fifth kiln this time would not have been in vain.
That was why he was determined to have this corpse. As he spoke, he patted the white-robed teenager's corpse with his right hand and put it away into his storage bag. Then, he looked at Su Ming coldly.
This scene caused the expressions of the people in the area to remain still. Xuan Shang took a few careful steps back. As he narrowed his eyes, he stared at Xu Hui, at the body of the supreme treasure on her body, and a barely noticeable resentment and coldness appeared in his eyes.
Zhu You Cai did not speak. His expression remained the same, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
As for Flame Fiends' Progenitor, his expression was dark, but he knew that even if he had a physical body, he would still not be Reverend Zi Long's opponent, which was why he could only grit his teeth and bear with it.
At that moment, Su Ming's hair had already turned completely gray. This change was immediately seen by the people, especially Reverend Zi Long. His pupils shrank in a barely noticeable manner. At that moment, Su Ming suddenly gave him an incredibly dangerous feeling. It was a presence of death, a chill that made him feel as if midwinter had arrived.
This feeling caused his cultivation base to instantly gather together, and a glint appeared in his eyes.
The gray Su Ming symbolized extreme rationality and the power of hell. He did not care about his methods, only whether he would succeed or not.
"Long Hai, if you still don't attack, I will immediately crush your oath and make you lose your soul!" Su Ming said coldly, and his gaze immediately swept towards Zhu You Cai.
"Fellow Daoist Chang He, it is not impossible for me to resurrect your wife."
"Flame Fiends' Progenitor, this is your physical body. Since I have already given it to you, it has nothing to do with me anymore. I will help you attack, but you will also have to fight with your life on the line!" Su Ming's flat words immediately caused the expressions of Long Hai, Zhu You Cai, and Flame Fiends' Progenitor to change.
Reverend Zi Long's heart let out a thump, and his expression changed drastically.
A monstrous, fierce glare appeared in Zhu You Cai's eyes. At that moment, he looked as if he had gone mad. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and once he glared at Su Ming, he immediately turned his head around, and powerful killing intent appeared in his eyes. His cultivation base erupted from his body, and he looked towards Reverend Zi Long.
Long Hai's expression changed, and hostility also appeared on his face as he stared at Zi Long.
As for Flame Fiends' Progenitor, his Nascent Divinity surged. Killing intent shone on his face, and flames swiftly erupted from his Nascent Divinity.
The three of them split into three directions. When they surrounded Reverend Zi Long, the gray-haired Su Ming lifted his right hand, and the Life Inequity Spear appeared with a buzz.
A freezing glare appeared in Su Ming's eyes as he asked coldly, "This is my spoil of war. Are you going to give it to me or not?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
